It's December, and the time at university is slowly getting tense. With the final exams of the semester approaching, Du Pingping didn't want to leave a bad start as soon as he entered college. Therefore, I stepped up my own study efforts. It's also the end of the year.,Miyako's journalism work at the new place of work has also entered a tense year-end time.,It's also too busy.。 So the time that the two newlyweds could often hang out in their own apartment disappeared.

Miyako is so busy that it is difficult to call back every day. And Du Ping was so busy that he couldn't walk, and his meal time was spent on studying and reading.

One day, Du Pingping walked and read a book as usual. Then two figures blocked Du Pingping's way forward, Du Pingping stopped, continued to read, and did not think much or look at who blocked his path. In this case, the other student's student will take the initiative to bypass Du Pingping, so that Du Pingping can move forward again. However, this time the stop time is a bit long, and Du Ping feels that it may affect the time of this class and cause lateness. When he raised his head, he saw two female college students with very different styles standing in front of him. A short shirt + denim shorts + short ear-length hair, a long white dress + waist-length hair + old-fashioned glasses.

When the short-haired girl saw Du Ping coming over, she immediately greeted her in a ghostly manner, "Oba, hello!"

Seeing this, the long-haired girl immediately stopped, "Lixiang, don't make trouble!"

The short-haired female college student's style of speaking is also a little off-line, and it is completely the feeling of a bear child at home. In the social culture of the home country, honorifics are used by both partners who meet for the first time. For example, in the current situation, the average male and female college students will call Du Pingping as Du Pingping, Du Pingping, and Du.

The long-haired female college student hurriedly stopped the short-haired woman's off-line behavior and demeanor, and gave a deep salute, "I'm Hana Kiko Nagano, she is Rika Sakai, and we are the president and vice president of the Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Society." Here, we would like to invite Du Pingping to join our club. ”

Du Pingping, "Student Clubs in School?"

Kiko Naganohana, "Yes. ”

Du Fair, "Not interested." ”

Du's answer was also very clear and clear. But when Du Pingping was about to cross the two and continue walking, he was pulled down again. Du Ping was stopped by the short-haired woman Reika Sakai, who was a little savage and out of line, and grabbed her clothes.

Reika Sakai stroked her fist like a little rascal, "Oh, boy! ”

Hanako Nagano continued to stop, "Reika must not be unreasonable!"

Hanako Nagano pulled Reika Sakai, who seemed to be a female rampant, and bowed and apologized again.

Hanako Nagano, "I'm very sorry, Mr. To, my companion was very rude indeed. But please believe that this is not from her heart, Reika Sakai is actually a kind and friendly person and a partner who can be trusted. In fact, an ancient society with a history of nearly 100 years, there have been countless famous people who have been members of the society, and I believe that our club must be the best choice for Mr. Du Pingping's school club. As a famous detective, how exciting and touching it is to choose the Imperial Reasoning Detective Academy. I believe that Mr. Du Pingping will feel the same way. ”

Do you feel like that? Du Pingping felt that he was completely devoid of that impulse and thought. Since Du Ping became famous, many school clubs have come to him, hoping that he can join their clubs. But they were all rejected by Du Pingping. Du Pingping is not a social expert or social maniac, and Du Pingping has a rigorous life plan for himself, so since the Sisters of Zhenfei Sheng's Borderless Volunteer Association, Du Pingping has refused all other club invitations. Of course, this time Du Ping is the same.

"I'm sorry, I've joined Volunteers Without Borders. So for the time being, I don't have any plans to join a second school club. I'm sorry, but thank you very much for the kind invitation!"

When Toto, who was in a hurry, and needed to get over, Nagano Hanako and Reika Sakai were still in front of him blocking the way that Toto.

Hanako Nagano, "Imperial University encourages students to engage in social practice and social experience, and various on-campus clubs are a very effective and practical way that has been proven by history to be very helpful for students to quickly enter and adapt to society in the future." Can Mr. Du Fair deny it?"

"Yes, I can't deny it, but I don't think that means that the more clubs you join, the better." I'm not going to join a new club if I've already joined a club. Thank you!"

Hanako Nagano worked hard to recommend her association, "The Imperial Reasoning and Detective Society is the association with the longest history, the most celebrities, and the most representative of the spirit and pursuit of the Imperial University. “

Although the woman opposite can still be regarded as a beauty, Du Pingping still doesn't like this entangled situation and feeling.

Du Pingping refused very seriously, "I'm sorry, I don't have this feeling! I don't have this kind of thought! To tell you the truth, first, I'm not interested in your club, second, I don't have time, and third, I've already joined the Borderless Volunteer Association of Sister Zhenfei Sheng, and I don't want to join the second club." Please don't bother me anymore!thank you!"

Du Ping coldly passed between the two and continued his journey.

Reika Sakai was angry and wanted to stop Du Fair again, "Stand ......"

Hanako Nagano grabbed her and shook her head vigorously.

Liu Bei, the monarch of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, looked at the thatched house before inviting Zhuge Liang, the great military division. I believe that we will use our sincerity to obtain the final recognition of Du Pingping!"

The sound was so loud that it was obvious that Du Ping could hear it. At the same time, it exudes an incomparable determination.

Du Pingping heard it, without any expression, and did not stop. Resume the state of reading with your head down, and walk while studying. As a good person, it is also very important to be able to adjust your mindset at any time.

…………………………

Just when Du Pingping was about to forget the two female presidents of the Imperial Reasoning Society, in the North Courtyard Canteen of the Imperial University, when he was eating at noon, Du Pingping saw them again.

At that time, Du Ping was eating. The rice is a very ordinary fast food box lunch, and Du Pingping, a student from an ordinary family, does not care about this, and does not have the self-requirements of elegant manners. Therefore, Du Ping eats relatively quickly, and he has the style of a military man. At this time, these two girls with very different styles, but memorable sat on each other.

At that time, there was a boy eating across from Du Pingping. This is a communal dining room, so there will be several people at one table to eat. Across from Du Ping, a boy he didn't know was eating. Suddenly, the two girls stood on his left and right, each holding a tray of fast food, looking at the boy. The boy looked at the two girls, who stared at him without blinking, as if he was doing an unforgivable incident. In the end, the boy was defeated in spirit and fighting spirit, and with the plate he had just made halfway through, he sensibly chose to change his dining place. Then, the two girls sat down opposite Du Pingping, and the target of their direct gaze changed to Du Pingping, who was dining.

Du Ping was helpless.

"Actually, if you want an empty seat, I'm almost done." ”

Sakai Reika took the case, "The surname is Du, don't go too far!"

Reika Sakai slapped the table, shaking all the plates on the table. The sound was so loud that it frightened several male and female students sitting at the table next to them and immediately chose a strategic retreat.

Hanako Nagano pulled Reika Sakai, who was standing tall, "Reika don't!"

Hanako Nagano stopped Reika Sakai again, and then gave a salute.

Hanachiko Nagano, "Mr. Du Ping, in fact, our society is one of the oldest societies in the Imperial University. And the theme of detective mystery is perfect for the identity and pursuit of a detective like you. I believe that Du Pingping's refusal of our invitation was simply a lack of familiarity with us. ”

Calmly and blandly, he began to narrate, "The Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Research Society was established in 1893 at the suggestion of Nagano Sayuki, Sakai Guard, and Nakahara Ichikei. Famous reasoners such as Matsumoto Kiyohari, Mizumi Tsutotsu, and Sasasawa Saho once joined the school while they were in school. And Matsumoto Kiyohari is known as a generation of grandmasters in the history of our country's reasoning. At the same time, in the history of more than 90 years, the society has also produced many famous figures in politics, economics and science. ……”

Hanako Nagano was overjoyed, "It seems that Du Pingping has begun to have a deep historical understanding of our society. ”

Du Pingping stopped Nagano with a gesture and continued to speak, "But in the past 10 years, especially in the past 5 years, the Imperial University Reasoning Detective Research Society has entered a stage of lack of success. The influence of the school is extremely declining, the vitality of the society is weak, and the reputation is also extremely poor. ……”

Hanako Nagano, "That's why we need an excellent detective like Du Pingping." The most basic reason for the continuous decline of our society in the past year is that there are no outstanding people to join. Therefore, as the president of the Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Society, I am determined to change the status quo! Widely invite outstanding and outstanding talents like Du Pingping to join the Society, so that the Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Research Society will be rejuvenated!"

"However, I'm not interested!"

Hanako Nagano, "That's not the case! If it weren't for my deep interest, I wouldn't believe that anyone would have such a detailed understanding of the Imperial Mystery Detective Agency. ”

"Wrong! I understand because of my professional instinct, just as I know that Imperial University has the largest and most complete background sound library in the country, and I understand many unique and interesting things about Imperial University." But to me, it's just basic information gathering and doesn't mean anything. Just like I know that the most popular clubs in the school are the Video Game Research Club and the 3D Animation Research Club......"

Hanako Nagano, "Sensei Du, how can you do this!"

Hanako Nagano angrily slapped the case.

Hanako Nagano, "The Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Research Society is a noble society dedicated to cultivating the reasoning spirit, ability, and quality of its members! The Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Research Society has cultivated many outstanding talents with logical concepts and abilities for the empire in politics, business, and culture in history! Although the Imperial University Reasoning and Detective Research Institute is in decline, as long as the spirit exists, then it will be immortal forever!"

Applaud!

Reika Sakai on the side, clapping hard alone, was the same as casting an angry glance at Du Pingping.

Hanako Nagano, "Mr. Du, I want to debate with you! In the ancient and traditional way of aristocratic arguments! I believe that you and the adults behind you can allow any refusal!"

Hanako Nagano took out an ancient bronze ring from her neck, and after showing it to Du Ping in a serious manner, she got up and walked to the ground on the side, and after getting dressed, haircut, and plastic surgery, she knelt on the ground. Reika Sakai ran away and brought two porcelain bowls and put them on the ground, each with a chopstick on it. Then there was Hanako Nagano who couldn't sit on her knees, and Reika Sakai stood behind her, glaring angrily at Du Ping!

Du Ping began to be a little confused. Nagano Hanako took out a ring that represented her identity, which is said to be Nagano Hanako also has her own special identity, and it is likely that it is also an ancient aristocratic family. Hanako Nagano said to herself, "I believe that you and the adults behind you can allow you to refuse anything!" This means that she may know some unusual characteristics, and the invitation she sent must be an invitation or duel that she may not be able to refuse.

What is Verbal Argument?

Although due to the cultural popularity in some cartoons and some TV dramas, Du Ping knew that it was a kind of ancient game similar to debate between nobles, ministers, and monks. Legend has it that its origin was from the ancient Song Kingdom, and it was spread in the Warring States period of the country, and immediately became popular among nobles and monks. When arguing, the pros and cons sit opposite each other, each holding a bowl and a chopstick, and the beginning and end of the speech will be tapped separately, basically one person speaks at a time, and the opponent is not allowed to interject when speaking, and outsiders are not allowed to interject. However, this is to be a matter of complete disconnection from the living environment and circles of Du Fair. In the world of Du Pingping, it only exists in historical legends, but now it has appeared in front of Du Pingping, and it has an expression that Du Pingping can't refuse. Du Ping has never played debate, nor has he played this strange thing that existed among the ancient nobles and monks. Du Pingping didn't understand that such a magical and ancient thing could still exist in modern society, but looking at the other party's meaning, there was no possibility of refusal based on his own opinion.

Du Ping had no choice but to get through his current instructor of folk culture and special culture, Teacher Miyako Kazama. After briefly and accurately describing the situation she was facing, Miyako immediately began to answer various questions from Du Ping.

Du Pingping, "Ahh

Du Pingping, "There are three levels of righteousness, reason, and interests!" There are also coercion, eloquence, defense, and counterargument ......."

……

Du Ping began to figure out a few things. First of all, this kind of argument is the same as the duel of the samurai, and the nobles and monks are not allowed to refuse for any reason, and of course the Puneng people will not have this experience, but now the special status of Du Ping's income from the Kuroda family just meets the basic requirements of this status. Second, the winner of the argument can demand a request that the loser cannot refuse, and third, it is more complex than in cartoons and TV dramas, which can be said to be an art.

…………………………

Du Pingping knelt on the other side, his face indignant.

Du Pingping, "Nagano Hanachiko-san, isn't your behavior suspicious of taking advantage of people's danger?"

Hanako Nagano, "Caused by righteousness!

Hanako Nagano placed the ancient bronze ring that she had just shown, representing her identity, in the middle of the two. This is part of an ancient ritual, and if Hanako Nagano is unable to provide such an item for which a noble, monk has legal status, the challenged person can refuse. Du Ping immediately felt that Nagano's sudden attack this time was definitely planned and prepared in advance. Forced to be helpless, Du Pingping had no choice but to take off the ring representing his Kuroda family identity from the rope of the amulet around his neck, take it out, and put it next to the ring of Hanako Nagano.

"Is this interesting?"

Hanako Nagano's gaze was firm, "For the sake of reasoning detective agency, there is nothing I can't give." ”

With her words, the momentum on Nagano Hanako's body soared, as if a thick volcano was blazing.

……

…………………………

This is the student cafeteria, this is the public area, it's lunchtime, and it's the time when the crowds are high. The scene here immediately alarmed countless students and teachers around, forming a dense crowd of onlookers.

Student A, "What happened?"

Student B, "Someone is going to have a duel between the ancient nobles. ”

Student C, "Isn't that something that only exists in cartoons and TV dramas?"

Student D, "Comes from the truth, but is higher than the truth." So based on various adapted storylines, it seems to be real!"

Student A, "What a spectacle!"

Classmate E, "It's a long insight!"

Classmate B, "That's why legend says that the emperor is a place where all kinds of ancient antiques and monsters are rampant in my country, but I didn't expect that this ancient tradition and event will still be implemented in modern times!"

Student D, "There are not only all kinds of ancient monsters in the Imperial University, but also many modern monsters, just like Ichito Hirohito in our department, a humanoid computer, any calculation, can come out in an instant." ”

Student F, "Toshiaki Kondo, a humanoid library in our department, is said to have stored thousands of various books in his head. ”

……

Countless whispers of countless students around him continued to sound, as if entering a sea of laughter. The girl Reika Sakai stood beside the two of them like a peerless general, not angry and arrogant, and frightened away a crowd of spectators, so that a circle of about 10 square meters formed around Du Ping and Hanako Nagano.
