"Oh? So Mr. Daoxie is a student at Beika University. In that case, you're Ran's father's junior."

After Masahiko Michiwaki invited Sonoko and the others, Ran and Conan followed along because they were worried that something might happen to Sonoko if she was alone.

Originally, Asakawa Yu didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but after being harassed by a certain young man in a suit, she was eventually dragged into it...

They are now sitting and chatting in front of a shop by the sea.

"Ah, yes...right! I remember Asakawa-nii mentioned before that he graduated from Beika University, right?" Ran suddenly remembered this as she was laughing and answering Sonoko's question.

Upon hearing Xiaolan mention him, Asakawa Yu put down his drink and began to think about when he had said such a thing.

That's right! I remember now, it must have been when Asagi Minami first met me and Ran and the others on our last trip to Moonshadow Island.

No one knew what Asakawa Yu was thinking at that moment, because everyone's attention had already shifted to Asakawa Yu.

"Huh? So you used to be a student at Beika University, boss? I never would have guessed."

Miyano Akemi was somewhat surprised, because in her mind, her boss's terrifying skills and outrageous connections (Miyano Akemi thought that Asakawa Yu had asked someone to help her with her identity document) did not seem like something an ordinary college student should have.

Ai Haibara's thoughts were even simpler. She just wanted to know some things about Asakawa Yu's past. Although they had spent so much time with him, to be honest, they knew absolutely nothing about his origins or background. Yet, Asakawa Yu seemed to know them very well, which was quite perplexing.

"Indeed, but since I was mostly alone during college, there's not much to say."

Asakawa Yu gave a perfunctory answer, as he just wanted to get past this topic as soon as possible.

"Huh? But I remember that Asakawa-nii was quite popular in college."

Clearly, Xiaolan was unwilling to let him go.

"So you're Asakawa-senpai! I've heard of you. You're really too modest. Even now, after you graduated, your legend is still going around at the university." Michiwaki Masahiko chimed in.

"What?! Tell us quickly, Mr. Daoxie!" Ran and Sonoko's enthusiasm for gossip was exceptionally high.

"Actually, I'd also like to know some of the stories about the boss from his school days."

Asakawa Yu never expected that even Miyano Akemi, who had always been on his side, would betray him!

I want to know too! Tell me quickly!

Actually, I'm also very curious about what it was like for someone like Asakawa Yu to go to university.

[I feel like there's something weird in the comments section now, doge]

"Well..." Michiwaki Masahiko was a little annoyed. It should have been his show, but now the man next to him had stolen the spotlight. How could this be!

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about Mr. Daoxie. Why did you come to the beach alone?"

Asakawa Yu skillfully changed the subject and brought it to Michiwaki Masahiko.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard someone ask about him, Masahiko Michiwaki's expression changed immediately.

"Actually, I just came on a trip because I was heartbroken. My girlfriend cruelly dumped me, and while I was feeling down and staring blankly at the sea, I saw a very beautiful angel." As he said this, Masahiko Michiwaki smiled mischievously and looked at Sonoko Suzuki with deep affection.

Sonoko Suzuki had never seen anything like this before, and she was instantly captivated.

Who wants to hear your stale stories?! I want to hear about my husband's college days!

[Exactly! Can't you just get lost, you deadbeat simp?!]

Asahi felt slightly embarrassed by the attacks from netizens in the live chat.

boom!

"Your draft beer has arrived."

Just as Masahiko Michiwaki was still trying to seduce Sonoko Suzuki, a muscular man with bronze skin and black-rimmed glasses came up to their table and slammed a beer down on it!

"Ah, thank you."

After putting it down, the man turned around and slowly walked back.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the man who had been walking halfway suddenly turned around again.

"And sir, please don't leave cigarette ash on the floor, it'll be a hassle to clean up later."

"Oh." After hearing the man's warning, Michiwaki Masahiko responded with a sound of agreement, and then stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"That clerk's attitude was really bad." After taking a sip of his beer, Masahiko Michiwaki couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, don't you guys feel like we've seen that shop assistant somewhere before?" Xiaolan suddenly asked the group, watching the man who had already left.

“Of course we’ve seen him. He’s the owner of the hotel we’re staying at. We heard he came back to help out during summer vacation,” Sonoko Suzuki answered Ran’s question.

"No, Yuanzi, how do you even know about this kind of thing?" Xiaolan was very surprised to see that her best friend knew so much about it.

"That's because he kept staring at us from the door yesterday, so I asked the hotel staff," Sonoko replied matter-of-factly.

"Kicking the young nobleman."

"Huh? What did you just say, boss?"

Just as Xiaolan and the others were discussing, Asakawa Yu suddenly said something that left everyone scratching their heads.

“I know that person. His name is Makoto Kyogoku. He was the champion of the previous All Japan Karate Championships. He has an incredible record of 400 fights without a single loss and is known as the ‘Kicking Prince.’” Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces, Asakawa Yuya slowly explained to them.

"So it was him! No wonder I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before." After hearing Asakawa Yu's explanation, Xiaolan finally remembered who he was.

"Is he really that amazing?" Sonoko wondered, seeing her best friend say so.

"He's incredibly skilled. You could say he's the absolute number one in the world of karate right now. I've always admired him."

"Huh? Even you can't beat him, Ran?" Sonoko Suzuki was a little surprised, but now that Ran herself said so, she had no choice but to believe it.

[Is he that good? Does that mean my Yu-ge (Brother Yu) can't beat this guy?]

[Don't speculate wildly, upstairs. Asakawa Yu hasn't even fully revealed his strength yet. Who knows if he's still hiding his true abilities?]

[Exactly! No matter how strong he is, I believe my husband can definitely beat him.]

Seeing the comments section comparing who was stronger between himself and Makoto Kyogoku, Asakawa Yu couldn't help but complain, "Dude, you're giving me way too much credit. Let alone me being stronger than him, if it weren't for my 'endurance boost' skill, I'm not even sure I could have lasted until the end."

However, Kyogoku Makoto... I really want to spar with him...
