Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 291 Siblings? I think they're more like romantic brothers.

Women express their anger or bad mood in remarkably similar ways.

Shopping sprees and indulging in excessive spending are among their ways of venting their frustrations.

However, this way of venting is quite expensive.

Fortunately, Kuroba Chikage was quite wealthy, both before, during, and after Kuroba Toichi's 'death'.

After all, Chikage Kuroba first met Toichi Kuroba in Paris, France. At that time, both of them were posing as phantom thieves.

Therefore, Kuroba Chikage is rich; she has been a wealthy woman since childhood.

Even after marriage, he will never lack money. Kuroba Toichi is a world-class magician who has toured and performed magic in various countries.

They only dress up as Phantom Thief Kid and steal during their free time in various countries.

As for why he became a thief, perhaps it's because gifted people often have quirks.

Even after Kuroba Toichi's death, Kuroba Chikage was not short of money. After all, Kuroba Toichi's estate was in Kuroba Chikage's hands. She was a rich woman herself and even owned a casino in the United States, so she was even less short of money.

So this time, Chikage Kuroba went directly to Ginza, one of the world's top shopping districts.

In Ginza, you can buy anything from all over the world, as long as you have money, enough money.

As it happens, Kuroba Chikage is very wealthy.

So she could freely browse any shop here in just a short time.

Kuroba Chikage bought quite a lot of things, and her hands were already full of bags and packages.

"Sister Qianying, let me get you some," Kitahara Natsuyu said softly, extending his palm.

Hearing this, Kuroba Chikage did not refuse. She handed part of the bags in her hand to Kitahara Natsuyu, and a hint of apology appeared on her face: "I'm sorry to have troubled you to accompany me shopping, to help me carry things, and to listen to my troubles. It's really too much trouble for you."

Kitahara Natsumi took the bag and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, we're already friends."

"Moreover, I also bear some responsibility for this matter, so it is only right that I help."

In fact, if it weren't for the revelation that Kaito Kid was actually Kaito Kuroba, then Chikage Kuroba would still be running a casino in America, taking care of Toichi Kuroba, and incidentally investigating that organization's information.

Now, Chikage Kuroba has returned to Japan, Toichi Kuroba is still missing, and Kaito Kuroba has entered his rebellious phase, which is driving her crazy.

The person who started all of this is Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Although Kitahara Natsuyu was the instigator, even if he was the instigator, Kuroba Chikage still has to thank Kitahara Natsuyu.

After all, he was helping Kuroba Chikage solve her problems and guiding her rebellious son.

“Xia Yu, you bear no responsibility.” Hei Yu Qianying shook her head and looked at the street where life was at its peak: “After all, being a thief is inherently bad, even if it’s to avenge one’s father.”

"You can't make a living as a thief. If other people find out, Kaito could go to jail, or even life imprisonment. Most importantly, he might die in prison."

Kuroba Chikage sighed, looking worried.

After all, Phantom Thief Kid has roamed various countries for one or two decades, committing countless thefts.

If Kaito Kuroba is arrested, all the crimes committed by Toichi Kuroba in the past will probably be attributed to Kaito.

He'll definitely get a life sentence, because some of the stolen goods will be gone forever.

Furthermore, when Kuroba Toichi was working as Phantom Thief Kid, he stole items from high-ranking officials and wealthy people, who were not to be trifled with.

Although more than a decade or two have passed, these people have not forgotten this matter and are still investigating it.

If they knew that Kaito Kuroba was actually Kaito Kid, they would definitely face retaliation from those people.

I don't want to die in prison at all.

Of course, he will die, but he won't die so easily.

Torture him slowly first, and then kill him when you've tortured him enough.

Therefore, Kaito Kuroba can no longer use the identity of Phantom Thief Kid. Once discovered, he will be doomed.

Fortunately, only Kitahara Natsuhiro knew that Kaito Kid was actually Kuroba Kaito.

He harbored no ill will towards Kaito and was a teacher with high moral character, willing to help Kaito get back on track.

Coincidentally, Kuroba Chikage thought the same thing.

The two hit it off immediately, both wanting to get Kaito back on track.

But Kaito is a high school student, and he's reached the age of rebellion, so he doesn't listen to anything you say.

This gave Chikage, as a mother, a real headache, but she had no choice but to come to Ginza, a place known for its extravagant lifestyle, to have some fun and relieve her frustration.

But now that Kaito Kuroba has been mentioned again, her recently calmed guilty conscience is boiling over once more.

After all, it was her own child, and she couldn't let go of him, even after coming to Ginza.

"Sister Chikage?" Kitahara Natsuyu waved his hand in front of Kuroba Chikage's eyes a few times.

At this moment, Kuroba Chikage, who had been somewhat dazed, came back to her senses and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was thinking about Kaito again."

Kitahara Natsuyu said, "It's normal for a mother to worry about her son, Chikage-nee, you don't need to say that."

"But we're relaxing now, so let's not think about those worries."

"Even if I think about it now, I might not be able to come up with any good solutions, so when you play, play hard, and when you work, work hard."

"So we should just enjoy shopping here and not think about anything else."

"Besides, Kaito's situation isn't that complicated, so there's no need to worry too much."

Kaito Kuroba has been impersonating Kaito Kid for some time now, and with the previous impersonation by Kijiro Terai, it's safe to say that Kaito Kid has already made a comeback and his fame has spread throughout Japan.

Now, wherever Kaito Kid appears, there are large numbers of fans and onlookers.

Yes, Kaito Kid is quite famous in Japan, mainly because his magic tricks are eye-catching, and he's also very handsome, which naturally attracts a large number of fans.

After all, good looks are everything. If you're handsome or beautiful, you'll have fans no matter what you do.

Even petty thieves have their share of admirers, let alone a master thief like Kaito Kid, who would naturally be sought after by others.

But now, the whole of Japan knows that Phantom Thief Kid has made a comeback and appeared in the eyes of the world, but this organization seems to know nothing about it and has not investigated Phantom Thief Kid.

That's quite strange.

If Conan were to transform back into Shinichi Kudo and appear before the public, the Black Organization would be drawn in and give Shinichi a surprise.

In the original story, Conan went on a school trip under the identity of Shinichi Kudo, but the photos were posted online.

Although they managed to get away with it, it triggered an investigation by the Black Organization, who suspected that Shinichi Kudo was not dead. Even Rum came to Japan to investigate.

Then I became an employee at the sushi restaurant.

However, Rum has arrived in Japan first, not to investigate Shinichi Kudo, but to investigate the mole within the Japanese branch.

But now, even though Phantom Thief Kid has been back in action for so long, there's been absolutely no sign of him.

They figured that Kaito Kid was no longer a threat to them, and as long as he didn't disrupt their plans, they wouldn't do anything to Kaito Kuroba.

After all, they were able to 'kill' the first-generation Phantom Thief Kid, let alone the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid.

Judging by Kaito Kid's skills, Toichi Kuroba is stronger than Kaito Kuroba. Naturally, this organization wouldn't take such a small fry seriously.

Of course, these are all just Kitahara Natsuyu's own speculations. As for why this organization did not investigate the information about Phantom Thief Kid, that remains unknown.

However, judging from the plot of Detective Conan, there really isn't anyone who actively seeks out trouble for Kaito Kuroba.

Aside from being shot by a sniper and falling into the sea in the movie, Kaito Kuroba hasn't encountered any major trouble.

Of course, he still caused considerable trouble for Japan.

Kaito Kuroba blew up the power station in Osaka, causing a blackout in the entire city. Then he went to steal the egg, but was eventually sniped.

This shows that no one wants to harm Phantom Thief Kid.

But that's only for now. If Kaito Kuroba really manages to steal from this organization, then his fate is obvious.

Not only will Kaito Kuroba die, but Chikage Kuroba and Kijinoji Terai will also suffer.

This organization has already let us off the hook once; there's no reason why they wouldn't eliminate us completely the second time.

After hearing Kitahara Natsuyu's words, Kuroba Chikage's worried expression lessened considerably: "That's true."

"Since we're out shopping, let's not think about anything else."

"I also want to thank Xia Yu for your guidance."

"It's still early, how about we go for a stroll some more?" Qianying said.

"Okay."

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and continued shopping in Ginza with Kuroba Chikage.

Soon.

Kitahara Natsuyu and Kuroba Chikage arrived at a commercial building with all kinds of brand-name stores and many restaurants.

And these restaurants are all high-end restaurants.

"Let's go this way." Kuroba Chikage pointed to a shop and then went inside.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu looked ahead and realized that it was actually a store that specialized in selling men's clothing.

"Sigh, a men's clothing store. Are they going to buy clothes with Kaito?" Kitahara Natsumi muttered to himself before following them inside.

Upon entering the store, a saleswoman dressed in a blazer, pencil skirt, and black high heels, with a pretty face, came over.

"welcome."

The two shop assistants bowed slightly and gave each other sweet smiles.

"Sir, you can leave your belongings here for safekeeping." The shop assistant's smile widened even more when she saw the shopping bag in Kitahara Natsuyu's hand.

Because all the shopping bags Kitahara Natsuhiro was carrying were from major brands, and there were quite a few of them.

They look like rich people.

I just don't know if it's this woman who's rich, or the woman who came in first.

The shop assistants knew that the two had come together.

But it's not a big problem. As long as they buy things here, they can get a commission, and a considerable one at that.

After all, this is a famous menswear store, specializing in suits, and is considered a high-end suit store.

Each suit is quite expensive.

But for Kuroba Chikage, it was nothing at all.

She earned all her earnings in the US in US dollars, and she was a wealthy woman before this.

"Thank you for your help." Kitahara Natsumi nodded slightly and handed the shopping bag to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant responded with a smile, then took the shopping bags to the side. After she left, another shop assistant immediately came up and led Kitahara Natsuyu to Kuroba Chikage.

At the same time, there was a female shop assistant beside Kuroba Chikage, who was serving her respectfully.

"Xia Yu, what kind of suit do you like?" Kuroba Chikage turned to look at Kitahara Xia Yu.

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu blinked and paused for a moment: "Wasn't it for Kaito?"

He could freely switch his ability to steal people's minds on and off, so he turned it off while he was shopping.

After all, there are so many people in Ginza; absorbing their emotions is enough. There's no need to steal their inner thoughts.

It's too noisy.

So he didn't know that Chikage Kuroba was planning to buy him a suit; he thought it was for Kaito Kuroba.

This really was unexpected.

"Yes." Kuroba Chikage blinked and smiled. "You've helped me so much, so I'm buying you a suit as a way of thanking you. What do you think?"

"This"

Kuroba Chikage continued, "Don't refuse."

"You've helped me so much, giving you a suit is nothing. If you refuse, I'll get angry."

Kuroba Chikage stood with her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry.

Although Kuroba Chikage is over thirty, she still looks very cute and retains her charm.

After overhearing their conversation, the shop assistants nearby exchanged a quick glance and then activated their in-game voice chat.

Looks like she's found a younger boyfriend. He's really handsome, but he doesn't really know how to dress.

[In short, she's tall and strong; this young lady is so lucky.]

[This young lady is the same; she exudes an air of nobility and is clearly wealthy. She's probably some rich heiress, though she's not young anymore.]

As shop assistants in the clothing store, they immediately recognized Kitahara Natsuhiro's figure.

Simply superb.

Kitahara Natsumi and Kuroba Chikage were naturally unaware of what the two were thinking.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro still managed to glean something from the emotion.

Envy, longing?
How terrible.

"In that case, I'll accept it. Thank you for your hospitality, Chikage-nee." Kitahara Natsuyu readily agreed and accepted the courtesy gift from Kuroba Chikage.

Although he doesn't usually wear suits.

Of course, he does have suits at home, but he only wears them on important occasions.

"Don't mention it." Kuroba Chikage waved her hand and immediately instructed the shop assistant to start measuring Kitahara Natsuyu's body.

Just then, a gasp came from the side.

"Thousand Shadows?!"
