Chapter 137: With No Woman in Heart, Draw Sword Naturally Divine [4k Chapter]

Fujino received 100,000 yen, freeing himself from the troubles brought by the Phantom Thief Kid's outfit.

Douko teamed up with Aoko, secretly sticking a heart-shaped sticker on Fujino's back, intending to play a trick on Koizumi Akako.

Thus, the two scheming old foxes achieved their goals.

When all the teams finished skiing, only two teams remained: Fujino and Aoko's team, and Akako and Kaito's team.

The sun set, and night had fallen.

At the top of the snowy mountain, Koizumi Akako, dressed in a black dress and wearing a golden snake headband, held the hand of the snowman "Kaito Kuroba."

Aoko Nakamori, dressed in a gray suit and sporting a small mustache, made to look like her father, stood alone on the side.

"Next up is entry number 18, the combination of Phantom Thief Kid and Princess Nakamori!"

Konno Erica's voice echoed.

Koizumi Akako glanced around and, seeing Aoko still alone, smiled and said, "Oh dear, your turn is coming up. Where is your partner?"

"Well…"

Aoko Nakamori looked around, not seeing any sign of Fujino, sighed softly, and said nothing more.

He must have run away because he thought her skiing skills were too poor.

"Anyway, I won this bet…"

But before Akako could finish her sentence, a sound of skiing came from behind.

They turned to see the Phantom Thief Kid approaching.

Aoko Nakamori was relieved to see "Fujino" dressed as the Phantom Thief Kid.

"Kaito, do your best!"

Aoko Nakamori encouraged the snowman "Kaito Kuroba."

"Of course!"

At this moment, a voice came from the side, surprising everyone—it was "Fujino" dressed as the Phantom Thief Kid.

"Kaito?!"

"Are you really going to compete in that outfit?"

Aoko Nakamori looked a bit surprised.

Before she could recover, Kaito Kuroba stepped forward, swung his cape, and magically transformed Aoko's gray suit into a white princess dress.

"But I can't ski…"

"Relax, you've fallen so many times, you must have gained some experience, right?"

"Mm."

Aoko Nakamori nodded firmly, recalling the teachings of the Teitan High School trio.

"Let the performance begin!"

Kaito Kuroba snapped his fingers.

Then, lights began to shine from beneath the snow on the slope, creating a glowing track that illuminated the surrounding snowy mountain.

Two white figures slid down from the top.

Kaito Kuroba held Aoko Nakamori and performed various stunts, even ending with a one-arm lift and spin, scoring a perfect forty points.

If no one surpassed them, they would undoubtedly be the champions of this competition.

"What's going on?!"

Koizumi Akako stared at the two who had just finished their performance, stunned. "That guy actually…"

Turning to the snowman, she sternly asked, "You're not Kaito Kuroba, who are you really?!"

"It's me."

Fujino quietly removed the snowman headpiece, revealing his face. "Fujino."

"It's you? What's going on here?!"

"That's a bit complicated to explain…"

Looking at Akako seriously, Fujino said, "In short, Kaito Kuroba sold you for 100,000 yen."

"Sold me for 100,000 yen?!"

Akako was momentarily stunned.

What does he mean by selling her for 100,000 yen?

Is she only worth 100,000 yen?

Wait, that's not the point…

The point is, why did Kaito Kuroba sell her, and for a clear price of 100,000 yen?!

After a moment, she realized she had been tricked by Kaito Kuroba!

She looked quite distressed.

"Do you want to win, young lady?"

While removing the snowman suit, Fujino asked Akako, "You seem unwilling to lose."

"How can I win now… they got a perfect score…"

Akako sighed softly, looking quite helpless.

Her magic failed, and Kaito Kuroba ran off with Aoko.

This time, she was completely defeated.

"Forty points is just Kaito Kuroba's perfect score."

Fujino, now dressed in a black coat, took a wooden sword from the suit.

Holding the wooden sword, he posed confidently: "My limit is more than forty points!"

"Huh…?"

Akako blushed, feeling flustered by Fujino's transformation.

What's going on with this guy?

Why does he seem different from the deep, cold person she met before?

Although she didn't realize it, her magic sticker had taken effect.

"Koizumi Akako, you're blushing like a lollipop."

Fujino noticed her blushing and frowned slightly.

But he didn't think too much about it.

"Entry number 19! Detective Samanosuke and the Black Snow Maiden!"

Konno Erica's voice sounded again.

"Huh?!"

"Hold on tight!"

Before Akako could react, Fujino grabbed her.

The snowboard beneath his feet emitted waves of air like a certain death-avoiding elementary student's board.

With 100,000 yen in hand, this trip was practically free.

But Fujino's ambition went beyond that.

Free? He not only wanted it for free, but he also wanted the ski resort to pay him 150,000 yen!

[Overclocking activated, current overclocked item: single snowboard]

"Boom!"

With a roar, the single snowboard shot out at high speed.

On a slope, the speed of the snowboard reached nearly 100 kilometers per hour.

"What the heck?!"

"What is that?!"

"It looks like Akako-sama!"

"So high!"

"Fujino-senpai! Do your best!"

Two black figures suddenly flew out from behind the snowy slope, soaring into the night sky, causing the onlookers below to exclaim in awe.

In mid-air, Fujino adjusted his center of gravity, making the snowboard spin rapidly, drawing white arcs in the air.

Six full spins and two backflips.

Even Newton's coffin couldn't hold back…

But this is the world of Conan.

So it's fine.

Finally, with a "thud," Fujino landed smoothly.

However, because it was a downhill slope, the snowboard, already at high speed, continued to accelerate.

Seeing the edge of the slope approaching, Fujino, holding Akako with his left hand, thrust the wooden sword into the snow with his right, creating a spray of snow and rapidly slowing down.

Just a few meters from the end of the slope, they finally stopped.

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

They thought Kaito Kuroba's performance was outrageous enough.

But this Fujino seemed even more outrageous.

A person holding a girl while doing multiple flips in the air, then landing and sliding dozens of meters using a wooden sword.

This was beyond what an ordinary student could do, even professional skiers wouldn't dare such a feat.

Kaito Kuroba was also dumbfounded, swallowing hard.

He thought Conan was crazy enough.

But this guy was crazier!

He must never provoke him easily in the future…

This stunt was extremely dangerous, and naturally, it had a remarkable impact.

The judges were dumbfounded.

Faced with such a display, they didn't know what to do.

After some discussion, they raised their scorecards, showing tens, followed by zeros.

"400 points, exceeding the maximum score! The winners of this competition are Detective Fujino and Koizumi Akako!"

Konno Erica, after a moment of shock, announced the winners of the competition.

"We won…"

Fujino took a deep breath, then looked at Akako, somewhat embarrassed, "Akako-san, can I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?"

Akako's heart was pounding from the mid-air hold.

Even as a descendant of a magical lineage, she couldn't handle such extreme stunts.

The blush on her face was even more apparent now.

"Can I have all the prizes for this victory?"

"Of course!"

Akako agreed without hesitation.

"That's good."

Fujino sighed in relief, then casually set Akako aside and walked towards Konno Erica.

"Huh?! Huh?!"

Akako, thrown aside, felt a sudden loss.

What's with this guy!

Just now…

"The sticker is actually on him?"

Suddenly, she noticed the sticker on Fujino's departing back and understood why she felt so strange earlier…

She was tricked!

She actually fell for her own magic…

"Konno-san, where can I collect the competition rewards?"

Meanwhile, Fujino had already approached Konno Erica.

"The competition rewards?"

"Huh?!"

Both Konno Erica and the still stunned Akako were confused.

Isn't this the time to create a romantic atmosphere?

Setting the girl aside to ask for prize money right after a daring rescue, what kind of operation is this?

Everyone was speechless.

Soon, guided by Konno Erica, Fujino received 50,000 yen and a voucher for a stay at the ski hotel.

Since Akako agreed, all the rewards went to Fujino.

"Senpai, how are you so good at skiing!"

Sonoko, looking admiringly, exclaimed, "You're even better than professional skiers!"

"I've never seen a skier on TV do such tricks."

Ran nodded, smiling in agreement.

"It's nothing."

Fujino scratched his nose awkwardly, "Mostly because I worked hard and have a bit of talent…"

Yeah, being a professionalskier is all about practice and talent, right?

While everyone marveled at Fujino's skill, the crowd began to disperse.

Akako, still feeling somewhat embarrassed, approached Fujino.

"Fujino-san, thank you for your help earlier…"

She looked down, clearly still flustered.

Fujino, noticing her awkwardness, smiled. "Don't mention it. I was just doing what I could."

They both stood in a moment of silence, before Akako finally looked up, her face regaining some of its usual confidence. 

"By the way, Fujino-san, what are you planning to do with the prize money and the hotel voucher?"

Fujino pondered for a moment. "I'm thinking of using it for a little vacation. Maybe explore some new places."

Akako's eyes lit up. "If you don't mind, I could use a break as well. Perhaps we could go together?"

Fujino was a bit taken aback by the proposal but then nodded with a smile. "That sounds like a good idea. It would be nice to have some company."

As the night grew darker, they walked out of the ski resort, the moonlight casting a soft glow over the snowy landscape.

It seemed that despite the earlier chaos, a new adventure was beginning to unfold.

Back at the resort, Sonoko and Ran watched them leave, their faces full of curiosity and amusement.

"Looks like there's more to Fujino-senpai than we thought," Sonoko said with a grin.

"Definitely," Ran agreed. "I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next."

With that, the two friends continued to discuss the events of the day, eager to hear more about the unfolding story.
