"I'll repeat it to you again, please listen carefully!"
"From Shin-Osaka Station, take the bus towards Dongxu and you'll get to the Hayami Central Gymnasium."
In the bathroom, Hattori Heiji was sitting on the toilet lid and talking to Conan on the phone, with a smug look on his face, "When we get to the gym, you can just ask anyone where Hattori Heiji is competing, and you'll find him."
"Hey, I get it."
Conan on the other end of the phone said perfunctorily with his eyes drooping: "Please, I'm not really an elementary school student. There's no need to keep giving instructions like this."
"I'm sorry, it's mainly because you look like an elementary school student, and I didn't realize it..." Hattori Heiji apologized: "It's mainly because of this competition that I can't pick you up..."
"It's okay. If there's something like this, just contact Uncle Maori. If Xiaolan or Uncle Maori finds out, I'll be in trouble."
Conan on the other end of the phone drooped his eyes and said, "Besides, watching your game is just a side job. The main thing is that I want to eat the luxurious food that I didn't have time to eat last time, and the time before that..."
"This guy is really cold..."
"Are you sure you can make it? You guys started at 2pm, right?" Conan expressed his doubts about whether he could make it. "The Shinkansen we're on has just departed. If we take the bus and reverse, I think it will be difficult..."
"Don't worry~ Even if you can't see the semi-finals, you can definitely see the finals." Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "You can make sure you arrive safely..."
Before he could finish his words, Hattori Heiji felt something hit the back of his head again, causing him to feel a sudden pain.
“Wa-Waha…!?”
Turning around with his phone in hand, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but scream when he saw a face sticking out of the toilet door.
"Heiji!" Kazuha leaned against the door, his eyes drooping with contempt, "What are you hiding here for?"
"I should be the one asking you this!" Hattori pushed the door open, looked at Kazuha as it moved, and yelled, "Do you know where this is?! The men's restroom!!!"
"Huh?? Is this the men's room?"
Kazuha saw Hattori Heiji yelling but was not panicked at all. Instead, she said with disdain: "I thought this was a place specially prepared for cowards who escaped before the game started..."
"This is tactics, tactics!" Hattori waved his hand and said, "Do you understand tactics? Besides, I would have won the match just now even without him. My only opponent was that guy, so naturally I had to ensure that I had all my strength to fight!"
"Are you talking about the one who looks like Kudo..."
"It must be Okita from Kyoto Izumi High School!"
Hattori Heiji pointed to the scar behind his right ear and said, "During last year's competition, I was hit by Okita's five-section slash, which caused an injury behind my ear. This year, it's my turn to return the favor!"
"Your defeated general is too cunning." He Ye said contemptuously after hearing this.
"Baga! I'm not a defeated opponent! I was just accidentally scratched while dodging his attack and the bleeding wouldn't stop, so the doctor forced me to stop the fight."
Hattori Heiji was unconvinced and said, "And that guy was lazy too. He didn't even participate in the previous competitions. Instead, he went to the gymnasium to sleep. We are only 8 pounds at most."
"Then you will definitely win today, because you have the amulet with you, right?" He Ye encouraged with a smile.
"Ah, that... Actually, Dad said today that Detective Tang Ze would be back for a training exchange meeting. I was talking to Dad about this topic all morning and accidentally forgot about it."
Hattori clasped his hands together and apologized, "Because I was so eager to know what Tang Ze said at the meeting, I forgot to bring the amulet you gave me."
"Oh, really? Then I'll tell Aunt Jinghua and let her make the judgment."
After hearing Hattori Heiji's explanation, Heye turned around angrily and said, "Let Aunt Jinghua teach you a lesson. Change your mind and become a person who doesn't cheat or act cunningly."
"Eh...my mom is here too?" Hearing what Kazuha said, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but panic, "Wait Kazuha..."
But Hattori Heiji's surrender did not stop Kazuha. She snorted and walked straight out.
"You're such a huge idiot! Have you had enough of this?!"
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard. Kazuha turned around angrily and stared at Hattori Heiji with a bad look, "Who are you calling a huge idiot?"
"No, no...I didn't say that." Hattori Heiji waved his hands repeatedly and then looked at the source of the sound behind him.
Behind him, someone was pulling at the collar of another person sitting there and shouting, "What a joke! You're making an excuse that you're drunk and can't participate in the competition!?"
"Ha... What can I do? The company I was planning to work for just closed down. My future is bleak..."
The slightly curly man sitting on the ground looked drunk, "How can I not drown my sorrows in wine..."
"You bastard!" the man with a buzz cut yelled, "You should also consider the situation before doing anything. The competition is about to start!"
"Well, well... Men Gu, don't be so angry..." A chubby boy with glasses said, "There's still more than an hour before the game starts. Let's think of a solution in the meantime..."
"That's all we can do. Take this time to think it over..." a boy with a long, narrow face said, "Don't let down those juniors who came all the way here to cheer us on."
"Kotegawa is right, you should reflect on this!" Mengu looked at the chubby boy next to him with a worried look on his face and said impatiently, "Let's go, Doguchi, and forget about that bastard!"
"Heh... you wouldn't mind if that kind of thing got exposed?"
