Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 289

"Nagging?" Hearing this, Hei Yuqianying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said irritably, "I'm just concerned about you, and you call me nagging."

"Should I just go back to America?"

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing his mother's words, Kaito Kuroba choked on his water, took a sip, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Mom, that's not what I meant."

"I just wanted to say something," Kaito Kuroba paused, then continued, "I just wanted to say that I have my own plans for this matter, so Mom, you don't need to worry about it."

"Besides, Aoko and I have been childhood sweethearts for over ten years, so nothing unexpected could happen. Even if someone pursues Aoko, she will directly reject them!"

Kaito Kuroba is very confident in his childhood friend, Aoko.

They grew up together, how could Qingzi possibly abandon him to find another man?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Upon hearing this, Kuroba Chikage extended her slender index finger and tapped Kuroba Kaito's forehead, saying irritably, "Don't be so absolute about things."

"Although you and Qingzi have been childhood sweethearts for over ten years and have a very deep relationship, no one knows what the future holds."

"If Aoko knew you were Kaito Kid, do you think she would still like you?"

"You are the Phantom Thief Kid who manipulated her father like a puppet."

"And more than ten years ago, your father was also the Phantom Thief Kid, and he also completely outmaneuvered Aoko's father."

"If Inspector Nakamori knew about this, do you think he would let you become his son-in-law?"

"Therefore, don't be so absolute about things!"

"Ah... this?"

After hearing his mother's analysis, Kaito Kuroba also felt a chill run down his spine.

Yes, Dad has completely outmaneuvered Inspector Nakamori, and he has completely outmaneuvered Inspector Nakamori. It's fair to say that the father and son have thoroughly offended Inspector Nakamori, making them irreconcilable enemies.

If Officer Nakamori finds out about this, he'll not only be a son-in-law of the Nakamori family, he'll go to jail.

Even the crime his father committed as Phantom Thief Kid more than a decade ago is being pinned on him.

After all, he is Kaito Kid, and the others don't know that Kaito Kid is actually two generations old!
The thought sent chills down Kaito Kuroba's spine.

Furthermore, while at school, his identity as Phantom Thief Kid was almost exposed by Koizumi Akako, and Aoko almost found out as well.

He was almost scared to death at the time, but luckily he managed to fool him.

We managed to get away with it last time, but what about next time?

Moreover, sometimes when he went to the movies with Aoko, he would sneak out and pretend to be Kaito Kid, even using a mannequin to impersonate him, which almost gave him away.

So Mom was right. If Qingzi finds out about this, he's doomed.

We absolutely cannot let Qingzi know; we must keep it a secret from her to the very end.

However, he must continue to play the role of Phantom Thief Kid and cannot stop, because he needs to lure out the enemy and avenge his father.

Although his mother told his grandfather, Terai Kinosuke, that the murderer had been dealt with, he didn't believe it and knew that his mother was lying to him.

So he has to continue.

Kuroba Chikage said, "Since you don't want Aoko to know that you are Phantom Thief Kid, then stop using the identity of Phantom Thief Kid and just be a normal high school student."

"Stop playing this game. We've already taken care of the culprit in Theft One. There's no need for you to continue."

Hearing this, Kaito Kuroba gave his mother a deep look and said in a low voice, "Mom, has Dad's killer really been dealt with?"

"Tell me the truth, okay? I'm not a child anymore."

Chikage Kuroba was not surprised when she heard Kaito Kuroba's words.

She didn't think Kaito would be so easily fooled. After all, he was her son, and he had been clever and quick-witted since he was a child, with amazing observation skills.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid, and even showed signs of surpassing his predecessor.

Therefore, she never intended to fool Kaito Kuroba with such a clumsy lie, because it was unrealistic.

"Since you've put it that way, then I'll tell you the truth." Kuroba Chikage said with a serious expression, "According to my investigation in the United States, those guys have an extremely powerful and vast force behind them, a force that we simply cannot deal with."

"Moreover, they are connected with all sorts of high-society figures, and we have no way to defeat them."

So you should just give up!

The mysterious organization that assassinated Kuroba Toichi specializes in stealing gems, and even special gems at that. As for their purpose, Kuroba Chikage has no idea.

However, she knew very well that this organization was not to be trifled with, and was even extremely dangerous.

Otherwise, Dao Yi wouldn't have had to go into hiding abroad after being assassinated, hiding under an assumed name.

Now, Kaito actually wants to lure the snake out of its hole and defeat this mysterious organization by himself, which is simply wishful thinking.

Even if Kaito manages to lure those guys out, his eventual fate will be extremely grim.

Even if Kaito tells the Metropolitan Police Department about this organization, it won't make any difference.

Because no one knows whether this organization includes political figures from Japan.

If there are members of that organization in Japan, it would be even more dangerous for Kaito to tell the Metropolitan Police Department about this.

Therefore, they had absolutely no chance of winning.

Kuroba Chikage no longer intends to seek revenge. She only wants to watch Kaito grow up safely, get married, have children, and then she can take care of the children.

As for revenge, let's forget about it!

Outnumbered and outgunned, they had no chance of fighting.

The same situation that Kaito Kuroba is facing is also the situation that Conan is currently facing.

However, Conan has teammates, and he even has a godmother within the organization. In addition, his protagonist aura is strong enough that defeating the Black Organization is not a dream.

Kaito, on the other hand, is different.

Although he also has the protagonist's halo, he is not strong enough, and one of his helpers, Koizumi Akako, has been taken away by Kitahara Natsuyu, while his second helper, Kuroba Toichi, is dead, leaving only ashes.

As for the third helper, Chikage Kuroba, and the fourth helper, Kijiro Terai, they were no longer planning to continue.

Because they all wanted to see Kaito live a peaceful and safe life.

Of course, Kaito Kuroba can also have five and six helpers.

These two are likely his uncle, Yusaku Kudo, and his cousin, Conan.

Whether they'll help or not is another matter, and besides, they're currently embroiled in their own troubles, so they probably don't have much free time to deal with Kaito's problems.

However, Kaito Kuroba still has one last ally, and that is Natsuhiro Kitahara.

But that's difficult.

Kitahara Natsuhiro isn't even planning to help his stepson Conan, so how could he possibly help Kaito, with whom he has no connection?

Even if it were possible, Kitahara Natsuhiro wouldn't help.

Can't you just be honest? Why do you have to be so reckless?
In conclusion, Kaito Kuroba should just stick to going to school, otherwise he'll definitely meet a terrible end.

"Mom?" Kaito Kuroba looked at her incredulously. "Give up? Aren't you going to avenge Dad? Why should we give up?"

Looking at the excited Kaito, Chikage Kuroba said softly, "Because I've investigated this organization, the more I investigate, the clearer I become about what I'm fighting."

"We're no match for each other." "I've already lost Dao Yi, and I don't want to lose you too, so let's give up!"

These are all true; the organization's strength is indeed unfathomable, and they simply have no way to deal with it.

After weighing the pros and cons, this was Kuroba Chikage's final choice.

And the same goes for Terai Kinosuke.

He even deeply regretted impersonating Kaito Kid.

If he hadn't been pretending, Kaito wouldn't have found out, and if Kaito hadn't known, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

So, Terai Kinosuke was really courting death!
"No, I won't give up. I absolutely must avenge my father and defeat that organization, no matter how difficult it is!"

"Even if Mom and Grandpa Terai give up, I won't give up!" Kaito Kuroba said resolutely.

Kaito Kuroba is usually very shrewd and never loses his temper.

However, when it came to his father's affairs, he became radical and gradually lost his rationality.

After all, Kaito Kuroba's main mission is to avenge his father and destroy this evil organization.

So when faced with the main storyline, Kaito Kuroba becomes impatient, just like Conan.

When they encountered members of this opposing organization, they became uneasy and charged straight at them.

Fortunately, he had someone to help him. If no one had helped him, Conan would have died countless times.

And right now, Kaito Kuroba has absolutely no help!
How can we fight? It's completely impossible!

"Kaito, listen to me."

Just as Kuroba Chikage was about to say something, Kuroba Kaito stood up abruptly: "Mom, I'm full. I'm going back to my room."

He wasn't going to continue the conversation, so he went straight back to his room.

After seeing her son's back, Kuroba Chikage couldn't help but cover her forehead, looking helpless: "They're all like this, they won't listen to reason and they like to cause trouble."

"This is so annoying!"

Even the good-tempered Kuroba Chikage couldn't help but get angry at this moment.

There's no way around it; after wiping the older child's bottom, you still have to wipe the younger one's. And the very youngest one is in their rebellious phase and doesn't listen at all!

"What sins did I commit in my past life to have this father and son involved with me? It's unbelievable."

Kuroba Chikage sighed, truly at a loss for words.

"Since you won't listen, then I'll have no choice but to force you to listen, or have someone who can make you listen tell you."

At this moment, Kuroba Chikage no longer hesitated and began to clean up the dishes on the table. After washing them, she prepared to go out.

She was going out to see Kitahara Natsuyu, as there were some things she needed to discuss with him.

There was no other way; she really couldn't handle Kaito by herself, so she had to rely on the help of others.

Three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang.

Although there aren't three, there are two, which is about right.

at the same time.

Yonehara Koko's house.

At this time, Akiko Yonehara had already finished eating lunch in bed and was preparing to take a nap.

However, before going back to sleep, Kitahara Natsuyu told her that he had to go out for a while because he had some things to take care of.

"Go ahead, go ahead!" Akiko Yonehara waved her hand. "I'm going to sleep anyway, I'm so sleepy."

They went to bed close to dawn, and after only a few hours of sleep, they got up for lunch. Just after finishing their meal, she felt sleepy and decided to go back to sleep.

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Naturally, they wouldn't care what Kitahara Natsuhiro was doing.

But Kitahara Natsuyu doesn't do those kinds of things, so she no longer cares.

After all, I've already been fed, so what else do I care about?

Sometimes, being too greedy won't work, because it can cause stomach upset.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going out to do?"

"You don't care about me at all anymore, I'm angry!"

"The kind you can't coax!"

Kitahara Natsumi stood with his hands on his hips and pouting, as if he were pretending to be someone.

Seeing Kitahara Natsuhiro's reaction, Yonehara Akiko couldn't help but laugh: "You look so funny, you're really good at it."

"But you're only going out for those kinds of things, since you're already on holiday."

"So don't bother me, I need to sleep, I'm so sleepy, you can come back tonight."

These past few days, Kitahara Natsuhiro has been staying at home with her.

After resting for a few days, they will find a place to soak in hot springs, travel, and have a good rest.

As for where to travel, I haven't decided yet. Anyway, the winter vacation is still long, so there's no need to rush.

"Alright." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, turned and left the room, then closed the door, but said "Goodnight" before closing it.

"Ah."

After responding with a single sentence, Akiko Yonehara immediately closed her eyes.

She fell asleep within seconds, breathing evenly.

After leaving the room, Kitahara Natsuhiro put on his coat, grabbed his keys, and went out.

The person he was going to meet today was Kuroba Chikage.

Because Kaito Kuroba has entered his rebellious phase, they plan to consult with a child education expert.

After leaving the house, Kitahara Natsuyu got into his car and headed to the place he had arranged to meet with Kuroba Chikage.

A coffee shop.

Half an hour later, Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived at the coffee shop where the two had agreed to meet.

Meanwhile, Kuroba Chikage had already arrived at the coffee shop. She rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window with a somewhat melancholy look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Chikage, I'm late," said Kitahara Natsuyu.

Upon hearing Kitahara Natsuyu's words, Kuroba Chikage, who had been in a daze, immediately snapped out of it and looked at Kitahara Natsuyu: "I just got here too."

"Mr. Kitahara, please have a seat and see what you would like to drink."

"It's really too much trouble to call you out when you're resting."

Kitahara Natsuyu opened the menu and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I'm on holiday anyway, so it's nice to go out for a stroll!"
