Chapter 22: Yusaku Kudo!
And beside him is a fat sumo wrestler, Ogi Saddle. In fact, this big wooden saddle is not too fat. This kind of figure can be regarded as thin in the sumo world. He is just one year older than Hattori Heizo, that's it.
Kogoro Mouri glanced over, and suddenly he saw a familiar person in the crowd next to him, a guy who looked gentle, with gold glasses, and a book in his hand. It was Yusaku Kudo!
Unexpectedly, Yusaku Kudo appeared here at Yonehua University. Kogoro Mouri turned his head and looked at Yukiko. The two of them should meet in the future. Is it the butterfly effect?
Yusaku Kudo has just published his first mystery novel, and his fame is growing. Just when he heard that there was a martial arts convention held at Yonehua University, he came to watch it, and he was also accumulating some material for his next novel.
Kudo Yusaku's perception is also very strong. He soon noticed that someone was observing him. Kogoro Mouri quickly turned around, blocking the line of sight between him and Yukiko, and said inexplicably, "Eri, you and Yukiko go behind. Go and sit down, the draw is about to begin here."
"What? Obviously, there is a position." Yukiko's face was uneasy, but Eri, who was a new bride, was very obedient and pulled Yukiko back.
The host on the high platform came on stage.
"It's finally this exciting moment. Our young martial artist from our own country has finally grown up. Next, I invite Mr. Shiro Suzuki, our patron of this martial arts club, to speak for you."
Shiro Suzuki, Sonoko's father, is now in his 30s. He has established the Suzuki Consortium and is a leader in the business world. He wears an orange suit and looks like a successful person.
"Well, everyone, I'm Shiro Suzuki, I'm very happy we have so many young and promising martial artists. When I was young, I also had a dream of practising martial arts. Unfortunately, due to my stomach, I can't live up to it."
Shiro Suzuki patted his beer belly, and the audience burst into laughter.
"However, our Suzuki consortium has been paying attention to Japan's martial arts world. If we have the opportunity to contribute our own strength to the martial arts world, then we are obliged to do so. This martial arts club is an opportunity."
"As a reward, the strongest of this youth martial arts club will get a gift from my Suzuki Consortium."
The staff on the side opened a red curtain to reveal the contents inside. It was a Sword with extremely sharp blades.
"Chidori, the sword of the famous general Tachibana Doyuki, the winner will get this sword!"
Miyamoto Shintake, who was holding a sword and meditating his spirit, immediately stood up, his eyes didn't hide his greed for it: "That sword is mine."
When he said this, everyone around couldn't help frowning, but Kogoro Mouri didn't react at all. He wasn't interested in this Japanese Sword. He might only value it if they changed it to a fish sausage.
"Then you might have to pay to buy it from me." The thin Kurobaichi said with a sneer.
"You." A cold light flashed by, and Miyamoto Shintake drew his sword instantly, and a longsword stopped dangerously in front of Kurobaichi's neck.
At this time, the most notable Ogi Saddle stood up and waved his hand to persuade him to reconcile: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, we are here to communicate this time, not really fighting."
When Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro saw this, the two also stood up to persuade them to make peace. Miyamoto Shintake retracted the sword in his hand and looked at the big looking Ogi Saddle disdainfully: "Your figure and your courage are really not proportional."
After that, he took the lead and walked to the high platform, and the others followed suit.
The host on the stage wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and he naturally saw the scene just now: "The personalities of the young martial arts champions are really different from ordinary people." He thought.
Seven people stood on the high platform, Miyamoto Shintake and Hattori Heizo stood together, each of them holding a sword.
Shintake Miyamoto made a throat cut gesture to Hattori Heizo, and in Hattori Heizo's fox eyes, they could not see the slightest fluctuations in it.
The audience in the stadium saw this scene and cheered enthusiastically. Such an arrogant provocation was an excitement for them.
At this time, the host took out a black box from the side, and the lottery box contained two pairs of colored balls. The white balls represented a pass, meaning the one who got it didn't have to fight and got a seat in the semifinals.
In the audience, Yukiko stared at the stage with her big eyes, and Eri on the side was also very concerned. When Kogoro Mouri took out the white ball from the box, Yukiko suddenly looked depressed, while Eri's eyes were smiling.
A gentle voice came from the side: "Hello, my name is Yusaku Kudo, is there anyone you know on the stage? It seems that the expressions of the two of you are so strange."
In this huge stadium, even if Kogoro had just tried to stop him, Yusaku Kudo saw Yukiko for the first time. His eyes were attracted by Yukiko like a magnet, and he couldn't help but come up to talk.
The two women encountered this situation more often, and when they looked up, this Kudo Yusaku was so gentle that they didn't feel squeamish.
Yukiko laughed mischievously and said, "This classmate, your way of starting a conversation is very old-fashioned."
Yusaku Kudo smiled indifferently: "With the different reactions of the two of you just now, only Kogoro Mouri who got a pass on the stage matched. That is to say, you two know the knights of Teitan High School. Also, the temperament of the two of you is different from others, and I have heard that there is a queen and a princess in Teitan High School. If I guessed right, the two of you are the Ice Queen Eri Kisaki and Fujimine Yukiko, right? Btw, I am Yusaku Kudo, the author of The Night Baron, a novel writer and a reasoner."
"Wow." Hearing this reasoning, Eri couldn't help but nod slightly, and replied: "You are right, Kogoro Mouri on the stage is my boyfriend."
"What?" Yukiko suddenly exclaimed when she heard this, completely shocked. For some reason, she felt like she had knocked over a five-flavoured bottle. She didn't know what it was like, it seemed a little bit sour.
"Eri, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me." Yukiko turned around immediately, pretending to be an interrogator, and left Yusaku Kudo like air next to her.
"Hey, keep your voice down." Eri's face flushed suddenly, "just last night, he confessed to me."
"Then you agree?" Yukiko had a weird expression and looked at the shy Eri. She pretended to be making suggestions: "Hey, Eri, you are too unsure, you know that is a saying that 'things that are too easy to get are often not cherish', how could you agree to him so easily, you should give him some tests, or be careful that he betrays you in the future."
Eri, hearing it, instantly burst into her queen's aura: "He dares!!!"
Suddenly both Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko were frightened.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri walked over from the side, and Eri instantly became tender and soft, and when Kogoro sat beside her, like a little bird, she leaned against Kogoro with a shy look.
This scene stunned Yukiko, like the first time she met her best friend, she felt an unspeakable sense of betrayal. Yukiko's mouth was pouted so that she could hang an oil bottle, and she glanced at the two of them with disgust: "Hmp! I will leave you two love birds then, I will perform first."
After saying that, she walked to the stage without looking at Yusaku Kudo again.
Yusaku Kudo could only say goodbye to Kogoro and Eri after seeing this scene.
With the sound of music, the young and energetic Yukiko came to the stage with cheerful steps as the lead dancer. Behind her was a huge group of female high school students, and the school's cheerleader was pulled over.
Yukiko has a different charm on the stage. She seems to have been born for the stage. She is thrown high, and the difficult movements are easy to do, just like an elf dancing in nature, which left Kogoro stunned. He couldn't help being caught in his mind, let alone the other men present, yelling one by one.
Suddenly a shout came from the gym: "Princess Yukiko! Princess Yukiko!"
Kogoro Mouri glanced at them, and it was his karate members in the school who were making waves. Soon the entire stadium was cheering for the title of Yukiko. This moment was undoubtedly a shining moment.
Eri nestled beside Kogoro asked: "Isn't she beautiful?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect this girl to look really good."
"Huh?" Hearing it, Eri suddenly sat straight as she glared at Kogoro with a cold glint in her eyes.
Kogoro Mouri sensing something was wrong turned his head and saw Eri's dangerous glint, but how could he capsize so easily after so many years of being a player: "But nothing can be compared to my family's Eri, this is like the difference between gravel and pearl, it is a world of difference."
Hearing it, Eri's cold aura dissipated like a bubble as she nodded with satisfaction.
Soon Yukiko's performance ended, and the Budokai competition soon began.
The match are between Taekwondo•Kang Shin Chul vs. Sumo•Ogi Saddle.
Aikido• Ginjiro Toyama vs. Judo•Kurobaichi.
And Kendo•Hattori Heizo vs. Iaido•Miyamoto Shintake.
Karate•Maori Kogoro has a pass so he has a seat in the semifinals.
Shintake Miyamoto looked at Yukiko who was about to step down, like a ruffian he asked: "This classmate, are you free to drink with me tonight?" After talking, he laughed lewdly, and Kogoro's eyes flashed coldly.
