Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 166 Mrs. Mary still retains her charm!
Kitahara Natsuhiro knew that they would be coming to Japan, to Tokyo, soon.

But I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly; they were really in a rush.

This is understandable, though, since Miyano Akemi is Akai Mary's niece, but now her niece is being bullied by her own eldest son.

As the aunt, she naturally had to protect her niece.

As for her eldest son, Shuichi Akai?

I'm sorry, but she doesn't have such a beastly son who would even deceive his own cousin, and knowingly at that.

She didn't betray her own son, Akai Shuichi, out of consideration for him.

Otherwise, she would already be holding a shotgun, firing one shot to signal her arrival, and then the second shot to kill this bastard.

"However, this is also a good opportunity to get in touch with Mary Akai."

"No matter what, Akai Mary is a great beauty, and I prefer a lady who still retains her charm!" Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at the blonde Akai Mary and smiled with satisfaction.

"Wow, she's so beautiful, and she even has blonde hair! She's a foreigner!"

Through the glass, Genta and the others saw the women inside the restaurant. One of the women had short blonde hair and a curvaceous figure.

Sitting next to the blonde woman was a man with short black hair.

These two people were Mary Akai and Masumi Sera, who had come all the way from London, England.

“The older brother next to me is handsome too!” Ayumi said.

At this moment, Conan followed Ayumi and Genta's gaze and looked over. He exclaimed "Huh?" and stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "I feel like I've seen this blonde woman somewhere before."

"And the man next to her looks familiar to me. Where have I seen him before?"

He did meet Sera Masumi and Akai Mary, but that was ten years ago, and they only met once or twice back then, so it's normal that he can't remember them clearly.

At that moment, Mary Akai and Masumi Sera, who were inside the restaurant, suddenly looked out the window and saw Natsuhiro Kitahara, Conan, and the others.

"This person looks so familiar."

After seeing Conan in the crowd, Sera Masumi seemed thoughtful, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Meanwhile, Mary Akai frowned.

"Conan, what are you standing there for? We're going upstairs."

At this moment, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko arrived at the stairwell and called out to Conan.

"okay."

Conan nodded, then glanced at Mary Akai and Masumi Sera inside. Seeing that they were also looking this way, he smiled and nodded, then ran to Ayumi and the others, and they went upstairs together.

After Conan and the others left, Kitahara Natsuhiro went straight into the kitchen.

Now is not the time to strike up a conversation with them.

“Makoto, among those little guys just now, wasn’t one of them somewhat familiar, the one with glasses?” Akai Mary asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi said, "Right, Mom, you feel the same way, right?"

She looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place her.

Although she had a very strong impression of what Shinichi Kudo looked like when he was a child, the current Conan was wearing glasses and hanging out with a group of children, so she didn't immediately recognize him as Shinichi Kudo.

“Yes, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before,” said Mary Akai.

Sera Masumi said, "I feel the same way."

"Zhenchun, Aunt Mary, why don't you eat something to fill your stomachs first!"

Just then, Akemi Miyano came over with a tray and placed the dishes on the table.

"Thank you, Aya-mei." Sera Masumi changed her words halfway through.

Before coming here, Mary Akai had told Masumi Sera about Akemi Miyano's relationship with the Black Organization, and also told her about Akemi Miyano's alias. She even knows about her older brother Shuichi Akai and her cousin Akemi Miyano.

If she were to give her opinion, she would say that her older brother is terrible.

It's one thing if it's not a legitimate person, but to do this knowing it's your cousin is just too much.

This incident slightly shattered her perfect image of Shuichi Akai, making him less perfect.

"You're welcome, we're all family."

Akemi Miyano smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart as she looked at the two of them.

She thought it would take Akai Mary and Sera Masumi at least ten days to half a month, or even longer, to get here.

But she was really surprised that they arrived so quickly.

Although they came to teach Shuichi Akai a lesson, it was also to avenge her, and because of this, she felt the warmth of home for the first time in a long time.

Hearing this, Mary Akai sighed. She could tell that her niece was not having a good time in Tokyo.

"Elena, Atsushi, you two are so foolish!"

If they hadn't chosen to join the research institute under the Karasuma Zaibatsu, none of this would have happened.

"Oh, by the way, cousin. There were a few kids outside just now, one of them was wearing glasses, and another was wearing a red bow tie and was dressed as..."

"Masumi, the person you're talking about must be Conan!" Miyano Akemi blurted out.

"Conan?!"

"Yes, his name is Conan Edogawa, and he is the son of Fumiyo, the shopkeeper."

“However, Conan’s family has run into some problems, so he’s temporarily staying at Mr. Mori’s house, on the second floor,” Miyano Akemi explained.

Upon hearing the name, Sera Masumi narrowed her eyes, muttering to herself, "So his name is Conan!"

She's starting to get a little interested in Conan.

Of course, it wasn't just because of the name Conan; more importantly, Conan gave her a sense of déjà vu.

So she decided to investigate this little guy named Conan.

At that moment, his detective instincts kicked in.

"Thank you, cousin Yami." Sera Masumi smiled, revealing her two canine teeth.

Upon hearing this, Miyano Akemi said, "You're welcome. Please eat first. I'm going to get busy. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't be shy."

"it is good."

Akemi Miyano nodded, then left to attend to the other guests.

"The food at this restaurant is really good."

Mary Akai, who hadn't said a word until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Mom, why did you start eating first? You didn't even wait for me!"

Sera Masumi muttered something, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

After taking a bite of the dish, her eyes lit up: "Wow, it really tastes great!"

"It tastes much better than the restaurants in London." Although she is practically a native Londoner, she still finds the food in London very unpalatable, mainly because it is so bad.

For example, dry bread, then spread some butter on it, add some avocado, and then eat it.

This food was completely inedible to Sera Masumi.

Although she has lived in London for a long time, she grew up eating food cooked by Mary Akai. Mary Akai is Japanese, and although she is of mixed race, she is quite good at cooking.

She took very good care of him; the only shortcoming was that she was too flat-chested.

Owning an airport at such a young age is incredibly wealthy.

"It's really good. The chef here is very skilled. He didn't change the flavors to cater to Tokyoites' tastes, which is great." Mary Akai was very satisfied with the meal.

She had eaten a lot of Chinese food before, but in order to cater to the local tastes, they were all changed beyond recognition and tasted strange, far from being as authentic as the food here.

"Yes, it's really delicious. I really want to meet the chef here." Sera Masumi was also enjoying her meal very much.

Upon hearing this, Mary Akai said, "According to the information your cousin gave you, the head chef here is called Tooru Amuro, and he's an accomplice of those guys."

"However, it's not entirely black either!"

During the phone call, Miyano Akemi had already shared a lot of information with Akai Mary, including information about Amuro Tooru.

Compared to Amuro Tooru, Miyano Akemi was more willing to believe Akai Mary and Sera Masumi, after all, they were related by blood.

Amuro Tooru was merely a childhood playmate, and also had a slight Oedipus complex, liking her mother.

However, since Elena Miyano had already passed away, this matter had long since faded away, so she was also wary of Tooru Amuro.

Akemi Miyano has been through so many years in this cruel world, and she was even deceived by Shuichi Akai, so naturally she would become more cautious.

She's not Conan; she doesn't have the protagonist's halo, so she can't just act recklessly.

Mary Akai is her aunt, her biological aunt, so there's no reason for her to stab her in the back.

Of course, Shuichi Akai is an exception.

After all, Shuichi Akai joined the FBI, and everyone knows what kind of organization the FBI is.

Shuichi Akai had been in the FBI for a long time, and he had long been assimilated, so it's not hard to understand why he would do something like this.

But Mary Akai and Masumi Sera are not like that.

"It's black, but not entirely black. So, this Mr. Amuro might be like Hideaki, he is..."

Sera Masumi spoke very softly, only the two of them could hear her, and she didn't even say the word "undercover agent" at the end.

But Mary Akai knew what she meant by those last two words.

"That should be the case, but we can't be 100% sure yet. After all, these guys' minds are as unpredictable as ghosts. You can never guess what they're thinking. Even Shuichi is beyond my comprehension." Mary Akai sighed, "I should have never let him join the FBI."

As the saying goes, "A son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up," and she had no choice but to agree to let him join the FBI to investigate his father's affairs.

If Shuichi Akai was a simple, innocent boy before, then joining the FBI was like entering a cesspool.

She, as his mother, didn't know what color Shuichi Akai was right now, let alone what he was thinking.

If it were the old Shuichi Akai, he would never have used Akemi Miyano like this after knowing she was his cousin.

But now, he has done this.

Therefore, people change, and you never know when they will become the kind of person you hate.

"Mom, don't talk about Xiu-ge like that!" Sera Masumi said, somewhat displeased.

Shuichi Akai was, after all, the older brother she admired.

Upon hearing this, Mary Akai even flicked her forehead and said irritably, "Hmph! You haven't known Shuichi for very long, so why do you admire him so much? He did some wrong things, and you're still making excuses for him."

"One cannot be indiscriminate in distinguishing between good and bad, even among one's own family."

"Ouch, Mom!" Sera Mary pouted. "Even though Xiu was wrong, my cousin is fine!"

"You don't need to go like that, just talking about Brother Xiu would have been enough!"

Compared to Shuichi Akai, Akemi Miyano still prefers her older brother.

After all, Shuichi Akai is her older brother, while Akemi Miyano is just her cousin.

"Hmph! It'll be too late if something goes wrong." Akai Mary frowned. "Some things can't be resolved just by talking."

“If he dared to take advantage of his own cousin this time, then he will take advantage of other people next time, even us.”

"This is not something that can be solved by talking about it."

Once it happens, it will happen again, so this is a bad precedent that should never be set in stone, otherwise it will never end.

From then on, Shuichi Akai would no longer be her son, but an FBI ace agent.

"Is it really that serious?" Sera Masumi muttered to herself.

Although she was already sixteen or seventeen years old, she was still a detective and had seen a lot of the world.

But she still didn't understand the horror of human nature; sometimes people are more vicious and terrifying than ghosts.

"Hmph! It's already quite serious, so you should have less contact with Shuichi, and don't even tell Hideyoshi that we came here."

"It's better if we don't disturb his life. After all, we're no longer family and have already cut ties."

“If something happens to us, the Akai family bloodline can still continue!” Akai Mary said with a serious expression.

Haneda Yasuharu was willing to take Akai Hideyoshi as his stepson not only because he felt guilty about Akai Tsutomu's death, but also because he wanted to carry on the Haneda family tradition.

After Koji Haneda's death, the Haneda family line ended, which is why Hideyoshi Akai was adopted as his stepson.

On the one hand, it can make up for the shortcomings of the Akai family, and on the other hand, it can also continue the lineage of the Haneda family, killing two birds with one stone.

It was for this reason that Mary Akai was unwilling to bother Hideyoshi.

Since things have been cut off, don't disturb them excessively unless absolutely necessary.

They haven't reached the end of their rope yet.

"Ah," Sera Masumi said, "So, where will we stay tonight?"

"I thought you had already contacted my second brother, and that we would stay at a hotel."

In the original story, Sera Masumi and the shrunken Akai Mary arrived in Tokyo and stayed at a hotel owned by a relative.

This relative is very likely to be Hideyoshi Haneda.

“Go stay in a small hotel, then rent a house. I’ll also take care of your school registration while I’m at it,” Akai Mary said.

Now that they've arrived in Tokyo, they don't plan to go back anytime soon.

"Alright, I'll stay in a cheap hotel then!"

“But let’s eat here! I quite like it here.” Sera Masumi smiled happily.
