Chapter 355: Chapter 353: Unlucky Culprit
Relying on his excellent reflexes, Senichi instantly discerned the intentions of the two.
Ignoring the thug rushing towards Sonoko, Senichi took a quick step towards the bearded man. His gentleman's cane swung horizontally, striking the man's hand.
Before the man could scream in pain, a fierce knee strike directly gave the bearded man a facial makeover. Blood scattered irregularly in the air, eventually forming a vibrant red flower in the snow.
Meanwhile, the bespectacled man, seeing that Senichi paid no attention to him and instead instantly subdued his companion, knew that his plan had failed.
Pushed to a dead end, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He immediately lunged at Sonoko, intending to take her hostage to gain control of the situation.
Seeing the oncoming threat, Kogoro Mouri and his daughter Ran had serious expressions, ready to wait until the criminal approached before directly subduing him.
But just as the two were about to take action, they suddenly saw a dark figure flash before them. The next moment, the thug was screaming as he flew sideways into the distance.
"Who are you..."
Ran, who was about to intervene, looked at the figure ahead, wearing a knit hat and goggles. She couldn't help but hesitate.
"Makoto?" Despite half of his face being covered, Sonoko quickly recognized the person beside her.
"Yes."
The man smiled and took off the goggles, revealing the face that Sonoko missed.
"But why are you here?" Sonoko looked at Makoto, puzzled.
"Of course, I came to see who the guy who captured your heart is!" Makoto took off his hat, his gaze sharp. "And also to see if he's worthy of you!"
"Huh?" Sonoko was confused after hearing Makoto's words. "What are you talking about, Makoto?"
"Don't pretend to be clueless. I know you knitted a sweater for that guy, went to learn how to make teacups, and now you came here to make chocolate..."
Makoto looked towards Senichi, who held a gentleman's cane. He removed his gloves and said, "Looks like it's you!
Seeing your skill earlier, I assume you're also a master of kendo. Since we're fellow martial artists, let's make it easy. I won't take advantage of you. Draw your sword and face me!"
As the words fell, Makoto Kyogoku's steps brought him to Senichi's front in an instant, and a sharp kicking strike swept directly towards him.
At that moment, Senichi felt immense pressure. This was the first time he had experienced the top-tier combat power, the kind of sensation where every cell in his body trembled, urging him to unleash his full power. Without hesitation, he drew his sword.
Slash!
This slash combined several techniques of kendo, a technique Senichi chose every time he practiced swordsmanship. Combining techniques from various schools, along with his outstanding reflexes and terrifying instantaneous explosive power, almost made this sword reach a terrifying level.
Two tremendous forces collided in an instant, then fed back into both individuals, causing them to involuntarily slide backward on the slippery snow.
"As expected, formidable." Senichi smiled, slowly sheathing the long knife in his hand. "Truly a man with a record of 400 undefeated battles."
"You're not bad either!" Makoto Kyogoku's gaze focused on the long knife in Senichi's hand. "Just now, if you hadn't used the back of the blade, I'm afraid I would be injured."
Even without a firsthand experience, just seeing that sharp blade made Makoto Kyogoku's keen intuition continuously scream, warning him not to attempt to block that blade.
"It's just taking advantage of the tool's sharpness." Senichi calmly sheathed his sword, appearing calm and indifferent. However, internally, he was gritting his teeth.
That kick just now was quite ruthless. Don't be fooled by his appearance now, holding the knife with no ripples. In reality, he continued to control the trembling arm after gripping the knife.
Indeed, he was a special A-level combat force in the detective conan world, surpassing many in basic attributes.
It was only at this moment that Ran and the others on the side snapped back to reality. Sonoko, in particular, hastily shouted, "Makoto, what are you doing!! Stop it!!"
Saying this, Sonoko quickly ran towards Senichi. On the other side, Makoto Kyogoku saw this, and his eyes dimmed a bit.
"Brother-in-law, are you okay?" After running to Senichi, Sonoko couldn't help but ask with concern, "Makoto didn't hurt you, did he?"
Clearly, in Sonoko's mind, Senichi, who was responsible for the intellectual side and had some skills, was no match for Makoto Kyogoku, her boyfriend with explosive martial prowess.
"No problem, no problem." Senichi smiled, shaking his head teasingly. "You better quickly explain to your little boyfriend, or else I'll be in for another beating."
"Ah... I got it..."
As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. Facing Senichi's narrow gaze, Sonoko finally tasted the bitterness she had teased them with before. At this moment, she had already turned into "Dot Eyes," feeling incredibly shy.
Upon hearing their conversation, Kyogoku Makoto, who was experiencing an inner turmoil, instantly transformed from confusion to bewilderment. He looked at Senichi and stammered, "Bro, brother-in-law...?"
"Yes, that's right!" Sonoko replied, not hiding her annoyance. "Didn't I mention it to you before? Senichi Karazawa, the famous detective from the Criminal Investigation Department. How could you not notice!"
"I... that... Where's the lucky guy who captured your heart?" Kyogoku Makoto turned his head to look back. Even though they knew they weren't the target, his sharp gaze made everyone nearby shiver involuntarily.
"It's you!" Sonoko pointed at Kyogoku Makoto, a bit shy but mustering the courage to say, "Even though I haven't made chocolate yet, this time I intended to make chocolate for you."
"Really?"
"Although she didn't manage to give you the sweater earlier, didn't the cup already get sent to you?" Ran chuckled.
"Isn't that a flower vase?" Even though he said that, Kyogoku Makoto couldn't help blushing and his eyes turned into dots. "I... I'll be going now!"
"Wait, since you're here, don't rush to leave!" Senichi shouted with a smile. "How about making chocolate together later? Lovey-dovey romance chocolate!"
This teasing remark instantly made the two young individuals blush again, and the dot-eyed confusion in Kyogoku Makoto's eyes brought a sense of satisfaction to Senichi.
"Sorry for that!"
Finally realizing he forgot to apologize while still blushing, Kyogoku Makoto quickly bowed to Senichi. "It was impolite to attack without understanding the situation!"
"No problem, no problem. We're family now, so no need to be so polite." Senichi waved his hand with a smile. "From now on, you can call me brother-in-law or big brother."
This statement made the two young ones blush once again, and Senichi couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile.
Well, teasing others is quite satisfying!
