Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1146: Want to hide the feelings

Toyama Kazuha looked at the karuta in front of her with some distress: "Heiji's mother said that if I want to win the competition, I must train myself to have a karuta that I am good at, but I have been choosing for a long time and still don't know which one to choose."

Mao Lilan thought for a moment, then smiled and sat down in front of Toyama Kazuha. "Aren't there a lot of waka poems about love in Hyakunin Isshu? Then you don't have to worry about whether you can win or not. Just choose according to your heart."

Yuanshan Heye was a little stunned: "According to, your own feelings?"

Suddenly, a dark smiling face flashed through Yuanshan Heye's mind.

Toyama Kazuha blushed slightly, and secretly glanced at Mao Li Ran. When she found that her attention was on the karuta, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She scanned the pile of cards and quickly found the one she wanted.

Toyama Kazuha leaned forward slightly, stroked the karuta, and said with a blush, "It's this one after all."

My longing for you is evident in my expression, and I cannot hide it.

Why are you troubled? Why do you always attract people to question you?

Mao Lilan looked at this karuta and smiled slightly. "This love song, where you want to hide your feelings but can't, is really suitable for you, Kazuha. Even Miss Momiji can see it."

Toyama Kazuha's face flushed red, but she felt a little depressed in her heart - even an outsider like Momiji could see it, but that idiot Heiji seemed to be completely unaware of it.

She frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "That being said, how can she be so confident? And what she said, it's as if Heiji is really her fiancé."

"Xiaolan, you think so too, right?"

Mao Lilan's expression froze, and she blinked her eyes, saying with a guilty conscience, "That's right."

How can I get Hattori Heiji to tell Ooka Momiji that he proposed to her when they were little?

More importantly, Hattori Heiji himself had completely forgotten about this matter...

"Okay, okay, let's continue practicing!" Mao Lilan quickly changed the subject. If she continued, she was worried that she would not be able to keep the secret and that Toyama Kazuha would find out something.

Yuanshan Heye nodded vigorously: "You are right, I still need to work harder!"

As he said this, he stared at the karuta in front of him and continued training.

Mao Lilan forced a smile and carefully walked aside to stop disturbing her.

After a while, Hattori Shizuka came back.

She looked at Toyama and Ye who were training seriously and nodded imperceptibly.

Mao Lilan carefully and silently brewed three cups of black tea, but when she added sugar, Toyama Kazuha, who was practicing picking cards, suddenly said that she needed to add sugar and asked her to add two more pieces of sugar.

Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, looked at the cup with two pieces of candy in it, and was a little surprised - did she hear all this?

Hattori Shizuka couldn't help but smile with relief. Has this child improved to this extent?

Toyama Kazuha didn't know what the two were thinking and was still training hard, but the more she trained, the more she felt that she was still far behind Ooka Momiji. She kept putting and taking cards, and the expression on her face became more and more tense.

"He Ye, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Hearing the extremely familiar voice, Toyama Kazuha looked up in surprise and saw that Hattori Heiji's face was so close to her that it was almost touching her.

Toyama Kazuha was startled, screamed, and fell backwards, sitting on the tatami.

"Hei, Heiji, when did you come back?"

Hattori Heiji didn't answer, but asked: "Who are you going to fight with?"

Yuanshan Heye blushed and said angrily, "You're so annoying, idiot!"

He waved his hand like a puppy: "Aren't you acting as that woman's bodyguard? Go back quickly!"

Hattori Heiji shrugged his eyelids and said speechlessly, "I'm talking about you... I finally came back to replace my mom as your sparring partner, and this is your attitude?"

"Huh?" Yuanshan Heye was a little surprised.

Hattori Heiji pointed at himself with his thumb and said proudly, "I'm not bragging, I've never lost at this."

Yuanshan and Ye Qi snorted and said disdainfully, "That was all when you were in school. Do you have the guts to compete with me now?"

Hattori Heiji had a look of disgust on his face.

At this time, Mao Lilan came over and asked Hattori Heiji nervously: "Um, Hattori, what do you remember about the karuta competition you participated in in elementary school? For example, your opponent in that game, the little girl who lost... or something like that?"

"Ah?" Hattori Heiji frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his palm and said to Toyama Kazuha excitedly, "I remember now, Kazuha, it was that match back then!"

Without even thinking, Toyama Kazuha said, "Is it the one where Heiji joined in mid-game and ended up winning?"

"Yes, that's right," Hattori Heiji said, looking very excited as he recalled the past. "Back then, there was a little girl who cried miserably after losing to me. That person was Ooka Momiji!"

Yuanshan Heye was very surprised: "Is it that girl?"

No way, the little girl who was crying so hard at that time is actually the girl who looks so arrogant now?

Mao Lilan's heart skipped a beat, and she asked hurriedly: "Then Hattori, do you still remember that incident?"

Hattori Heiji was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Mao Lilan asked tentatively: "Did you promise Miss Hongye anything at that time?"

"Hmm..." Hattori Heiji pinched his chin, trying hard to recall, "I think he told her to keep trying next time, right?"

Ran Mouri wanted to ask more, but since Toyama Kazuha was present, she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only shut her mouth and wonder whether she should find an opportunity to find Hattori Heiji to confirm it.

At this time, Toyama Kazuha suddenly said: "Okay, Heiji, go back and protect her."

Hattori Heiji: "That's not necessary, the police are already here..."

"Come on, let's go!" Yuanshan Heye interrupted him, "If she gets injured before the match, I won't be able to compete with her."

Hattori Heiji looked at Toyama Kazuha in a daze, not knowing why she said that. After a moment's silence, he adjusted his hat and said in a somewhat gloomy voice, "Really? So be it then."

"Mom, I'm still leaving it to you."

Hattori Shizuka hummed.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji didn't say anything more and walked out of the room with his hands in his pockets.

Ran Mouri looked at Toyama Kazuha, somewhat confused about her actions.

Toyama Kazuha stared blankly at a karuta card and muttered:

"My longing for you is evident, and I cannot conceal it; for whom do I trouble myself, and yet I am constantly being questioned."

Heiji, wait for me, wait until we win the game, then I will definitely tell you those words...

Meanwhile on the other side.

Yuya and Conan, who were investigating Nagoro's whereabouts, also made an unexpected discovery.
