Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 239 Hattori Shizuka's friendly greetings: I'll personally take care of you when you come to Osaka!

Buzz buzz.
Kitahara Natsuhiro's phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and looked at it.

That's when I realized it was a text message from Heiji Hattori.

"Mr. Kitahara, could you please tell me your Line ID? My mom wants it; she wants to discuss cooking with you." - Hattori Heiji

Upon seeing the text message, Kitahara Natsuhiro paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Being able to cook is really amazing, and it's a killer skill for a housewife like me!" Kitahara Natsuhiro exclaimed.

After all, housewives are primarily responsible for taking care of their families, and cooking and lighting fires every day are their duties. Their discussions are mostly related to cooking skills.

So Kitahara Natsuhiro catered to his preferences and succeeded.

And sure enough, Hattori Shizuka took the bait.

However, besides cooking, Shizuka Hattori also enjoys playing karuta and was once the karuta queen. She retired from the karuta world due to marriage and childbirth.

But when she has free time, she still plays karuta with her friends, and her skills haven't diminished much; she remains as strong as ever.

Furthermore, in one of theatrical versions, when Kazuha Toyama was competing against Momiji Ooka, Shizuka Hattori, as the Karuta Queen, helped Kazuha Toyama train, ultimately leading to Kazuha's victory and also winning over Heiji Hattori.

Okay, no problem. My Line number is...

Kitahara Natsuhiro sent his Line message and then looked out the window.

Just then, white things began to drift out of the sky outside the window and fell down piece by piece.

"Snowing?"

Since Shinichi Kudo became Conan Edogawa, the technology in this world has been evolving rapidly. Although it is still far from the era of the Internet, online dating and communication via mobile phones are already possible.

LINE is a web communication software available for both computers and mobile phones, and it's used by many young people today.

In addition, the weather is quite changeable.

Today might be summer, but tomorrow could be winter.

the other side.

Upon receiving LIEN from Kitahara Natsuhiro, Hattori Heiji immediately boasted to his mother for the credit.

"Mom, I've already gotten Kitahara-sensei's LINE account. I've already texted you. You can add him yourself in a bit. Remember to add your name in the message, otherwise Kitahara-sensei might think it's some weird person or a scammer."

“I’ve seen quite a few news reports about online scams in the newspapers lately,” Hattori Heiji said.

With the rapid development of technology, fraud methods have also improved. Now, while some people use the internet to make friends, others use it to commit fraud.

Many people have been scammed online.

Most people are scammed out of money, while some are scammed out of both their money and their sexual favors.

As a result, nowadays, most people won't readily accept friend requests from people who haven't left a note.

"I know." Hattori Shizuka said with a straight face, "I'm still young, I don't need you brat to remind me, I'm not that old yet."

She somewhat disliked Heiji reminding her like that, because hearing such reminders made her feel old.

But she won't admit that she's old; she's still very young, only forty-two.

And outside, people would only think she looks to be at most thirty years old, even though she frequents beauty salons and takes care of herself.

Women must take care of themselves.

However, Hattori Heizo has been leaving early and returning late lately, which is really annoying!
"Yes, yes, I won't say anything." Hattori Heiji shrank back.

He could already sense his mother's anger; if he continued, he was sure to get a beating. Indeed, a woman's age is a slippery slope you shouldn't slide down; anyone who does will definitely get a beating.

He used to speak recklessly and got beaten up. Even his own father, Hattori Heizo, had to hide away to avoid the limelight.

Women are scary, especially angry women.

Hattori Heizo deeply understands this point.

"Okay, that's good." Hattori Shizuka recovered and smiled again. "Come on, let's eat first, we can talk about the rest later."

"it is good!"

Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori answered in unison, and then began to eat dinner.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and seemed very happy.

soon
Kazuha Toyama, Heiji Hattori, and Shizuka Hattori had finished dinner. Just as Shizuka Hattori was about to take her plate to wash the dishes, Kazuha Toyama beat her to it.

“Auntie, let me do this. I’ll feel bad if I don’t do anything, so please take a rest,” said Toyama Kazuha.

Hearing this, Hattori Shizuka did not refuse, but looked at the two with a smile, finally fixing her gaze on her son: "Heiji, you and Kazuha wash the dishes and wipe down the kitchen while you're at it."

"Huh?!?" Hattori Heiji looked resistant. "Why should I do this? I have something to do later. I need to chat with Conan and discuss the case. I don't have time to do this."

"Is that so?" Hattori Shizuka smiled and held out her hand: "Where's your phone?"

"it's here."

Without hesitation, Hattori Heiji took out his phone from his pocket, and then...
His phone was confiscated.

"I'm taking your phone for now. I'll give it back to you after I finish the housework. Oh, and please clean the bathroom too. That's all."

After saying that, Hattori Shizuka winked at Toyama Kazuha, then turned and left with elegant steps, returning to her room.

"Heiji, you idiot! I gave you a chance but you didn't use it. If Kazuha is taken away by someone else, you'll be crying later!"

No one knows a child better than their mother. He knew very well Heiji's feelings for Kazuha, but the boy was proud and stubborn and refused to say it.

If she were willing to say it out loud, she might already be a grandmother.

However, judging from her current state, it seems she's still a long way from becoming a grandmother; it will likely be at least five years.

Kazuha Toyama knew why Shizuka Hattori had done this, and looked grateful.

"Seriously, Mom's too domineering." Heiji Hattori muttered to himself, then turned to Kazuha: "Kazuha, let's finish the chores quickly, then I'm going to chat with Conan."

"Okay." Toyama Kazuha smiled, but the smile was very stiff.

Hattori Heiji is such a complete idiot!

the other side.

After returning to her room, Hattori Shizuka added Kitahara Natsuhiro's LINE number and they started chatting.

"Hello, I am Heiji's mother, Hattori Shizuka. Thank you so much for taking care of my son and Kazuha in Tokyo. Thank you very much." - Hattori Shizuka

"Madam Jinghua, you're too kind. I'm a teacher, and naturally I wouldn't stand idly by when a student is in trouble. You're too kind." - Kitahara Natsuyu

Mr. Kitahara, you're too kind. Next time you come to Osaka, I'll definitely take care of you personally to express my gratitude!

Really? Mrs. Hattori Shizuka!
