Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 274 Eri's Reward: Beef Broth!
【I love the food you cook, Attorney Ki! I'm not picky, I'll eat anything, just make your specialty dishes!】Natsuhiro Kitahara.

At that moment, Eri Kisaki, who was parking her car at the law firm building, got out of the car and walked towards the floor where the firm was located while looking at her phone.

“My specialty dish? Well, that would be stewed beef!” Eri nodded. “I definitely can’t let Mr. Kitahara down.”

"And I've tried it a few times recently, and there haven't been any problems at all!"

Eri Kisaki's cooking seemed fine to her, but to others, it appeared to exude a purple aura.

Two words: Disgusting!

Three dishes, and they were really awful!
There's no way around it; Eri Kisaki's sense of taste is a little different from ordinary people, otherwise she wouldn't have thought that her cooking was pretty good for the past twenty-three years.

Don't ask, it's just part of the setup!

"Although Xiaolan has always thought that my cooking is not very good, I am still trying and improving. This time it will definitely be different."

"Even if there are problems, Mr. Kitahara, as an expert, will help me correct them."

"One day, I will definitely treat Xiaolan to a delicious meal!"

Eri clenched her fist, full of energy.

Ding Dong
At that moment, the elevator arrived, and Eri Kisaki stepped inside, nodded to the people inside, and then waited for the elevator to arrive at the floor where her office was located.

Soon.

Eri Kisaki arrived at the agency, opened the door, and went inside.

Good morning, Ms. Kuriyama.

Upon hearing this, Kuriyama Midori, who was processing documents, broke into a broad smile: "Good morning, Attorney Kisaki."

"Attorney Kiyoshi, you seem to be in a great mood today. Did you get a new boyfriend?" Kuriyama Midori couldn't help but tease.

Since Eri Kisaki divorced Kogoro Mouri, her complexion has improved considerably, and she has fewer worries.

Before their divorce, Eri Kisaki often wore a sorrowful expression, and the source of that sorrow was Kogoro Mouri.

Because at that time, she still had Kogoro Mouri in her heart, but now that image is gone.

When you have no worries in your heart, your complexion will naturally look much better.

Furthermore, recently, a lawyer has been pursuing Eri Kisaki after learning of her divorce.

But Eri Kisaki remained indifferent and had no feelings for him.

Hearing this, Attorney Fei said irritably, "I didn't, and I don't like him, so don't say things like that."

She wasn't interested because the man pursuing her was a colleague.

Sometimes marrying someone in the same profession can be very inconvenient.

Moreover, she didn't want to continue being a housewife; she needed her own career.

"Besides, I'm already this old, so let's not even talk about dating."

"Right now, all I want is to improve my career and watch Xiaolan grow up day by day."

"Hehehe," Kuriyama Midori stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, I won't mention it."

"But lawyer, you seem really happy today. Did something wonderful happen?"

Eri Kisaki said, "It is Mr. Kitahara Natsuhiro."

"I'm planning to treat him to dinner this weekend, and maybe he can teach me a thing or two."

Upon hearing this, Kuriyama Midori suddenly realized: "So it's Mr. Kitahara who owns the restaurant."

“I went to Mr. Kitahara’s restaurant, and the food was really good.”

“That’s what I’m saying.” Eri Kisaki nodded. “So I’m planning to have Mr. Kitahara give me some pointers, and then I’ll cook a big meal for Ran after I’ve finished my apprenticeship.”

Although she felt her cooking skills were okay, everyone around her said she was terrible at cooking.

So she hasn't graduated yet and can only pursue further studies.

"I see." Kuriyama Midori nodded, and then sweat began to bead on her forehead as she thought of Eri Kisaki's cooking: "Attorney Kisaki, your cooking is truly indescribable."

She had also eaten the food made by Eri Kisaki. It looked delicious and smelled wonderful, but it just didn't taste right. It was very strange, and she didn't know why.

She even cooked with Eri Kisaki, using the same ingredients and seasonings.

But the taste was just awful.

It's truly unbelievable.

Perhaps Eri Kisaki is a woman abandoned by the god of chefs!

"Ahem." Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki said with a straight face, "Ms. Kuriyama, I think you really want to eat my cooking!"

The next second, Kuriyama Midori bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Attorney Ki, I have to go to work. Please don't make me eat your cooking."

"You still dare to say that!" Eri Kisaki said coquettishly.

Eri Kisaki and Midori Kuriyama have a very good relationship, like sisters.

When there are no guests, they sometimes joke around in the office, so there's nothing wrong with it.

"Hehe." Kuriyama Midori stuck out her tongue: "I'm not saying anything more."

"But Attorney Fei, you have to work hard this weekend. You must succeed and cook a big meal so I can try it for the first time."

"Even if you don't tell me, I'll let you have a taste." Eri Kisaki said confidently.

"Then I'll get back to work." Kuriyama Midori smiled and continued working on her tasks.

Eri nodded, went to her office, closed the door, sat down, and looked at a photo frame on the desk.

The photo in the frame is a picture of her and Xiaolan.

However, before that, there was also a picture frame here, but the photo in the frame was not a photo of her and Xiaolan.

It was a photo of her, Ran, Kogoro Mouri, and a blue teddy bear cat.

However, after the divorce, she changed the photo and replaced it with a photo of herself and her daughter.

But she still keeps the Russian blue cat she had before.

After all, we've raised it for so long and have developed a bond with it. We can't abandon this cat just because its name is Goro.

She's not that kind of person, and she won't be emotionally affected by that name.

Because she has completely severed ties with her past self.

"Good morning, Xiaolan."

Eri Kisaki stroked the photo frame, a smile spreading across her face. Then she leaned back in her chair, took out her phone, and sent the menu she was going to prepare to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Buzz buzz.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again.

【Beef broth, I really like it, but you can also buy some tomatoes and potatoes, and I can teach you another beef dish!】Natsuhiro Kitahara.

"Another beef cuisine?"

Eri Kisaki smiled broadly and continued texting.

【Then I'll leave the weekend to you, Mr. Kitahara. I'll prepare all the materials. You're welcome to come, Mr. Kitahara.】

"Don't worry, I will be there on time." - Kitahara Natsuhiro

Eri nodded, then sent another text message, thus ending their morning chat.

Didan Primary School.

"Oh my, you seem to be having a good chat with Ran's mother." Ai squinted, like a fox. Kitahara Natsuyu put away his phone and said softly, "There's no way around it, a man who can cook just gets extra points."

“I’ll go to Eri’s house on weekends to teach her how to cook.”

Xiao Ai grinned mischievously. "Do you want me to prepare some stomach medicine for you, or contact a hospital to have your stomach pumped?"

It is well known that Eri Kisaki's cooking skills are questionable.

Furthermore, Ran and Kogoro Mouri themselves said this, so it's not a rumor.

So preparing these things for Kitahara Natsuhiro in advance was truly out of consideration for him.

Kitahara Natsuyu stroked his chin and said, "I'm not human, how could I get a stomachache from human food?"

"you think too much."

Just kidding, although he is human, he is only half human, the other half is Gengar.

How could a Gengar possibly get an upset stomach from human food?

That's underestimating Gengar.

Furthermore, even if Eri Kisaki's cooking is terrible, there should be a limit.

"Really?" Ai said, "I've heard Ran say that Eri Kisaki's record is quite impressive."

"Yukiko and Yusaku Kudo were both infected with it back then!"

When Ran and Shinichi were young, Yukiko and Yusaku Kudo had not yet gone to America, and they had a very good relationship with Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri.

He even took Ran to Izu Beach for a trip.

It was at this time that Shinichi Kudo and Ran encountered Mary Akai's family, and also met Shuichi Akai.

It was through this process that Sera Masumi met Ran and Shinichi Kudo, which led her to realize that Conan Edogawa was Shinichi Kudo.

Because their tone of voice and appearance are exactly the same, it's hard not to be suspicious!

"Don't worry, it's fine!" Kitahara Natsuyu waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

"Well then, I wish you good luck this weekend. Don't call me for help then," Ai said.

"Absolutely not!"

Ding-ling-ling
Ding-ling-ling
Just then, the school bell rang.

"Oh, class is starting."

“I’m going to patrol the corridor. Do you want to come with me?” Kitahara Natsuhiko asked.

Patrolling the classroom corridors from time to time can put some pressure on the students and prevent them from being too unruly.

Later, when he went to school, he would often see the teacher by the window and be startled.

So now, he also wants the students of Teitan Elementary School to experience pain.

"I have no interest in scaring elementary school kids. I'm going to sleep," Ai said, yawning.

Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Alright. Remember to lock the infirmary door when you go to sleep."

Although Teitan Elementary School is full of elementary school students, they are all quite mischievous, especially at this age, they are really annoying.

That's why Kitahara Natsuhiro gave that warning, as he might go to the infirmary to play pranks.

"Don't worry, I know better than you," Ai said. "Back in America, those kids were much more mischievous than the kids in Japan."

"Some children even bring their family members' guns to school. It's truly an extremely dangerous country!"

She has vivid memories of her student life in the United States.

After all, America is a country where gunfights happen every day; it's incredibly exciting.

Fortunately, she was protected by the Black Organization while she was in the United States, so she was not in any danger. Even if she was in danger, the members of the Black Organization would come back to shield her from bullets!

Her value cannot be measured in money!
However, when talking about her student life in the United States, it reminded her of a girl, a pretty nice girl.

Although the girl wanted to be friends with her, she didn't want to be friends with the girl.

Because she was part of a criminal organization at the time, it wasn't appropriate for her to have deep relationships with other people.

This made her somewhat regretful, but now that it's all in the past, she no longer dwells on it.

Moreover, she still has her older sister, Kitahara Natsuhiro, and friends like Yukiko and Ran, and she is very happy.

Ai thought, "That girl from back then must be very happy, right?"

“The United States is indeed such a country!” Kitahara Natsuyu paused, thinking of the short videos he had watched in his previous life, and felt that the United States was indeed dangerous.

Florida, in particular, doesn't tolerate idlers!
"Alright, go scare those kids!" Ai said, "I'm going to catch up on my sleep."

"Remember to come and wake me up at noon, I want to eat lunch!"

People are iron, and rice is steel, so you panic if you don't eat a meal.

In the past, she might have skipped lunch and just had coffee.

But that's not possible now. If I don't eat lunch, people will nag me.

However, she doesn't find being nagged annoying; on the contrary, she quite enjoys it.

She likes her life now because someone cares about her.

“Okay, I’ll come find you then.” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and walked towards the teaching building.

He has a key to the infirmary, so he can go in anytime, which is quite convenient.

"Ah."

Ai nodded and walked towards the infirmary.

Soon.

Ai went to the infirmary, hung her coat behind the door, put on her favorite white coat, locked the door, and happily went to sleep on the bed.

Because this is the infirmary, she can't sleep as freely as she does at home.

So I slept wearing my clothes and pants.

She's gotten used to this and can sleep well.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro had already arrived in the corridor and begun patrolling, with his first stop being his own class.

Class B, first grade.

When Kitahara Natsuhiro stood by the window, the students in the classroom felt a terrifying pressure.

At that moment, they realized that Kitahara Natsuhiro had appeared in this place.

There was nothing they could do; Kitahara Natsuhiro would appear at this place every few days, and they had gotten used to it.

This caused Kitahara Natsuyu to trigger his passive ability as he stood by the window, and he sensed it immediately.

Conan, in particular, can tell which teacher is coming just by listening to the footsteps in the corridor, and these are all basic skills of a detective.

However, now that he needs to go to school, these basic skills are not applicable to detective work and can only be used in school.

"Kitahara Natsuhiro is here again. I can't let my guard down!"

Conan sighed, straightened his body, and listened attentively to the lesson.
