Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 480 Ooka Momiji's Visit!

Good morning, Kitahara-sensei.

When the door opened, Sera Masumi stood in the doorway, smiling and showing her two canine teeth.

"Good morning, Masumi." Kitahara Natsumi nodded and stepped aside to let Sera Masumi in. "You change your shoes yourself, you know where they are, right?"

They were old acquaintances, very familiar with Sera Masumi's house layout, and since it wasn't their first time there, they naturally knew where the shoes were.

"Okay!" Sera Masumi smiled and changed into slippers as she entered. "Teacher, where are we going to play today?"

Since we can't investigate the Black Organization, we can only wander around outside, and Kitahara Natsuhiro will go with us.

After all, Amuro Tooru, the store manager, had taken leave, and he didn't want to go and open the store by himself; it would be exhausting.

Besides, the purpose of making money is to enjoy it. Now that I've made money, I should naturally enjoy it.

And it doesn't matter if the store is closed for a few days.

As for why Amuro Tooru took leave, he knew it too. It was related to Gin and vodka yesterday. Otherwise, he, the king of part-time jobs, wouldn't have taken leave.

Furthermore, the gas explosion that occurred last night was also related to Gin, Amuro Tooru, and the FBI.

Even so, Amuro Tooru and the FBI failed to capture Gin and suffered heavy losses.

This was also within Kitahara Natsuhiro's expectations.

After all, Qin Ji and Vodka are not exactly known for their martial arts, so in this situation, they naturally went all out, immediately increasing the intensity of Amuro Tooru's group's attacks with grenades and AK47s.

If Gin were at his own base, he would definitely have started strafing from an armed helicopter.

Just kidding, he even opened fire on the Tokyo Tower, let alone some Japanese police officers!
Unfortunately, there were no armed helicopters, only some grenades and AK47s. Their equipment was rather rudimentary, so we could only give them a cheap late-night snack. We'll treat them to something more expensive next time.

Tooru Amuro: There's absolutely no need for that!

Of course, the incident of armed helicopters strafing Tokyo Tower has not yet occurred, because that point has not yet been reached.

Closer to home.

"I don't know, they're planning to go shopping first, wherever they end up is fine," Kitahara Natsuyu said. "Have a seat, I'll go get some breakfast. Have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten. My mom made it. She's gone out for a walk now," said Sera Masumi, sitting on the sofa watching TV, turning her head to smile.

“Let’s take a walk,” Kitahara Natsuyu said with a smile. “You can also bring your mother along for a shopping trip. They don’t have time to look after you now.”

He spoke very softly, so that only he and Sera Masumi could hear him.

As for Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji, they didn't hear it because they were still on the balcony checking if their clothes were dry.

"Teacher, do you know something?" Sera Masumi asked in a low voice, her eyes darting around.

She knew that Kitahara Natsuhiro knew a lot of information, even information that they didn't know. He might also know the aftermath of yesterday's incident, so she decided to just ask him directly.

If you can get the answer, that's a win; if you can't, it's okay too. Just give it a try!
Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "Yes, I know exactly what happened. Do you want to know?"

"I want to!" Sera Masumi's eyes were filled with hope.

“No way!” Kitahara Natsuyu shook his phone, a knowing smile on his face. “This kind of information isn’t something you can just get easily, and you, Ms. Mary, probably wouldn’t want you to keep investigating.”

"It's too dangerous for you to be alone."

"After all, you wouldn't want your mother to live in fear, would you?"

This one is from Japan.
The IP is correct!

"..." Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi's eyes twitched slightly, and she whispered, "Do you want to know some information, like about my mother?"

Kitahara Natsuyu's intentions are obvious to everyone.

A lecherous guy, especially fond of mature and sexy women.

Her mother happened to be that type, the kind that was already fully ripe.

As the saying goes, women are like fine wine, the older they get, the better they become.

"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?" Kitahara Natsuyu asked, heartbroken. "What information do you have?!"

Zhen Chun, you have a good eye for people. I really am that kind of person!
Of course, he already knew most of the information about Sera Mary, so he no longer needed information about Sera Masumi.

I just don't want to see that idiot Sera Masumi conduct a reckless investigation and end up getting hurt.

They're also my juniors, so naturally I should take care of them.

"So it really is the Kitahara-sensei I know!" Sera Masumi grinned, winking at him. "What do you want to know?"

"I can tell you anything you want to know!"

My mother has sacrificed so much for me, it's time for her to enjoy life. This is what a daughter should do.

So Mom, you don't need to thank me. Just enjoy your 'youth'!

"Since that's the case, then I'll just say whatever I know. I'm a very greedy person!"

"Yes, I can tell!"

Next up is Sera Masumi's sharing session.

"Oh, Sera-kun, you've arrived."

Not long after, Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori walked over from the balcony, carrying some clothes in their hands.

As the weather gradually warmed up, all the washed clothes dried overnight.

"Hello." Sera Masumi flashed her fangs and looked at Hattori Heiji: "We weren't much of a help at the banquet yesterday!"

“Yes, but it’s a good thing that no one died. It’s alright that we didn’t have to get involved.” Hattori Heiji laughed.

Although he was a detective, he also disliked dead people, so it was best if nothing happened, and he didn't complain.

Kazuha Toyama, standing to the side, watched the two chatting without any concern.

Because she knows Hattori Heiji, he wouldn't be interested in Sera Masumi, and even if he were, it would only be because of their relationship as detectives, since Sera Masumi is a detective too!

Sera Masumi; Kazuha, your insults are really filthy!

Yes, Kazuha Toyama's idea is that Sera Masumi doesn't have a good figure.

Heiji Hattori is also a pervert, which can be seen from his usual words and actions.

So Toyama Kazuha is very relieved!

"You guys chat, I'll go make breakfast."

"I'll help too," Toyama Kazuha quickly said.

"No need," Kitahara Natsuyu waved his hand and said, "It's just making noodles, it'll be done in a minute. The side dishes are all ready, it'll only take a few minutes. You can just help me bring it out when it's done."

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha did not insist, nodded, and joined Sera Masumi and Hattori Heiji's conversation.

Ten minutes later, several bowls of noodles were brought out from the kitchen.

"It smells so good!" Sera Masumi sat at the dining table, smelling the aroma of the food, and couldn't help but rub her stomach. "If I hadn't already eaten breakfast, I would definitely want to eat this!"

"Can I have a little less? Would you like some?" Kitahara Natsuyu asked with a smile as he sat on the stool.

Sera Masumi shook her head, her face resolute: "No, I've already had breakfast, so I won't eat anything else. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat lunch later. I really enjoy good food."

“Me too, me too,” said Kazuha Toyama. “Tokyo must have a lot of delicious food. I really want to try it all.”

"Sure, we can go eat some delicious food later, like ramen, incredibly delicious ramen."

"Delicious ramen?"

Upon hearing this name, Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori looked puzzled.

“Would anyone use this as a shop name? It’s a really strange name!” Hattori Heiji said.

“Yes, it really is! Although the name and decor are just average, the taste is absolutely amazing. I often go there to eat ramen, and my mom goes with me too!” Sera Masumi said.

"Your mother?" Toyama Kazuha paused. "But speaking of which, I don't think I've ever met your mother before."

"Ah!" Sera Masumi's forehead began to sweat; she realized she had let something slip.

She rarely mentioned her mother in front of others, for fear that her mother would attract attention, since the people around her were not simple and had other identities.

Especially Conan Edogawa, he's incredibly perceptive. If he discovers anything, then things will be in trouble.

After all, Conan Edogawa currently knows very little about the organization. If he knew about his mother's relationship with the organization, he would definitely press for details and might even do something extreme.

For example, installing listening devices in one's own home.

Sera Masumi knew that Conan was absolutely capable of doing it!

Because Conan is currently engaging in 'false decree', using Kogoro Mouri's identity to deceive Inspector Megure, and using Inspector Megure's identity to deceive Kogoro Mouri, truly taking advantage of both sides.

Why would she know?
Of course, it was because he watched Conan do it.

Conan is quite unscrupulous in this regard, often making phone calls from phone booths without trying to hide it from people. She saw him doing this once.

That's when she realized that Conan played like that; it was truly an eye-opener for her!
She might do that if needed, but unfortunately she doesn't have a voice changer, and even if she did, it wouldn't be as good as the one made by Professor Agasa.

The gadgets Conan wears were all made by Professor Agasa, and she has already investigated this matter thoroughly.

After all, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta are all very open about these kinds of things, and even Conan talks about them himself, without any attempt to hide anything from others.

But she didn't mention the bow tie-shaped voice changer; it was something she saw.

Although Conan isn't here, Heiji Hattori is, who is also quite perceptive.

Fortunately, Heiji Hattori didn't care much about the Black Organization; he was just helping Conan investigate these matters.

However, his investigation also reached a stalemate, and he couldn't find anything out at all.

If he asked his father, he might get clues, or even a warning.

However, doing so would betray Conan, so Heiji Hattori never did that, only conducting private investigations, which were of no use.

“My mom went out after breakfast and I don’t know where she is shopping now,” Sera Masumi said calmly after pausing for a moment. “I see,” Toyama Kazuha said. “But Sera, your mom must be very beautiful, right!”

"Sigh, why? Why would you say that?" Sera Masumi asked.

"Because you are very beautiful!" Kazuha Toyama said bluntly.

Sera Masumi is not bad-looking, and she is somewhat similar to Ai. However, her figure and personality are too boyish, so she doesn't seem like a cute or even pretty girl.

Furthermore, her own outfits are all rather androgynous, and coupled with her figure, this is why Phantom Thief Kid mistook her for a boy and tied her up in the toilet.

Finally, Kaito Kid was hit with a flying kick!
"My mom is really beautiful!" Sera Masumi said, showing her canine teeth with pride.

Having a beautiful mother is something to be proud of, after all, Sera Mari is really beautiful.

"Do you have any photos?" Kazuha Toyama leaned closer.

Men like beautiful women, but women like beautiful women just as much, just like Kazuha Toyama.

"Uh..." Sera Masumi hesitated for a moment, but still took out her phone and showed Toyama Kazuha a photo of herself with her mother.

It's alright if Toyama Kazuha doesn't see it, as long as Hattori Heiji doesn't see it.

Heiji Hattori's attention wasn't on this side either, so it wasn't a big problem!
"Wow, Auntie is so beautiful, and she even has blonde hair! Is she a foreigner?" Kazuha Toyama exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the photo of Sera Mari.

She's a stunning beauty, and she has an exotic charm.

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi said, "Yes, my mother is of mixed race, and so am I. We used to live in England, but now we've returned to Japan and plan to settle down here."

She and Marie Sera decided to settle here and not return to England or settle in any other country.

Because Japan is relatively safer. Although it is one of the strongholds of the black organizations, there are other organizations here fighting against them. They don't have the time or energy to deal with these two marginalized people. In addition, gun control is much stricter than in Europe.

Of course, the strictest rules are in the neighborhood next door, but I can't go there because my identity is very sensitive!
Guns are far more rampant abroad than in Japan, even in the UK where gun control is relatively strict. It's just too unsafe.

Even Sera Mary, a former MI6 agent, was shot by a drugged man who was randomly shooting in the street.

She was almost hit.

Afterwards, I was still somewhat shaken and even afraid that Sera Masumi would be shot.

So, by some chance, they came to Japan again, intending to spend the rest of their lives there.

“Sigh, you should settle down here. Tokyo is really nice, a great place to settle down.” Kazuha Toyama looked at the photo, paused, and continued.

The photo only shows the mother and daughter, but not her father, who has probably passed away.

Therefore, she did not ask about Sera Masumi's father.

Kazuha Toyama is quite knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships and social etiquette; if it were Heiji Hattori, he might have asked the question rashly.

While the two girls were chatting, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Hattori Heiji had already finished their breakfast.

"It's so delicious! It's much better than the noodles I've had at other restaurants." Hattori Heiji picked his teeth with a toothpick, his face beaming. "But it's still a little bit worse than my mom's."

After learning his lesson last night, he has become wiser and decided that no matter where he is, he must praise his mother properly and never let anyone else find fault with him.

"Oh, you've learned your lesson, Hattori," Kitahara Natsuhiro teased, holding a plate.

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji's face darkened, and he looked troubled: "You're really no good!"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu didn't care about the words at all and said with a smile, "You can't tell right now what's a good person and what's a bad person."

"And wasn't your face dark just now, though not noticeably?"

"Long-winded!"

Hattori Heiji became somewhat embarrassed and angry after realizing he was being teased, and turned away, refusing to speak to Kitahara Natsuyu anymore!
I don't know why, but I always feel vulnerable when I talk to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

This guy always manages to hit a nerve with what he says!
His dark skin was one of his sore points.

There's nothing I can do. My mom is so fair-skinned, and my dad isn't even that dark-skinned, but I'm just so dark, like a piece of charcoal, and it's not from sun exposure, it's natural.

However, his deceased grandfather was quite dark-skinned, which is a case of inheritance from a previous generation.

Even so, his dark skin was often the subject of pointing and whispering.

Amuro Tooru: Me too!
Seeing Hattori Heiji like this, Kitahara Natsuhiro stopped provoking him.

However, Heiji Hattori is quite interesting, and his occasional antics are quite amusing, just like Conan.

But after being provoked so much, Conan no longer reacts as strongly.

Heiji Hattori is more interesting!
"Hattori."

"what?"

Go wash the dishes!

"what?"

"You eat my food and live in my house, what's wrong with washing some dishes? Go now!"

"All right."

Hattori Heiji thought it made sense, so he got up and went to the kitchen to start washing the dishes.

He had done this kind of thing at home before.

Just then, Kitahara Natsuyu's expression changed, becoming strange, and he walked towards the entrance.

The doorbell rang the moment I stepped into the entryway.

However, Sera Masumi, Toyama Kazuha, and Hattori Heiji didn't think anything was wrong, probably assuming that the person ringing the doorbell was Ran and Conan.

But that's not actually the case.

crunch
Kitahara Natsuhiro opened the door and smiled at the two people at the entrance, saying, "Good morning, Ms. Ooka Momiji and Mr. Iori Muga!"

That's right, the people who came this time weren't Ran and Conan, but Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga.

After attending the Tokiwa Zaibatsu event last night, they did not return to Kyoto but stayed in Tokyo, where they also have a house.

It's impossible for the Ooka zaibatsu to not have a place to live in Tokyo.

"This guy!!!"

Iori Muga looked at the man in front of her, her heart skipped a beat, and she secretly pursed her stomach.

"I just rang the doorbell and he opened the door. Did he know we were coming?"

"Did he install a surveillance camera himself?!"

There are surveillance cameras in this corridor, installed by the apartment building. In addition, Judy and Yoko Okino next door have also installed surveillance cameras to prevent accidents from happening.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro did not install surveillance cameras in front of his house.

Because he wasn't afraid of anyone plotting against him!
The last person who plotted against him is now ashes, yet he's still spending his money, and his woman even beat his child!

"Surprised?" Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at Iori Muga and smiled. "My ears are very sharp; I heard the footsteps."

"You can tell it's us just by listening to our footsteps?" Iori Muga said in a deep voice.

"Yes, what's the problem? Every footstep sounds different, and that's how I tell them apart!"

Upon hearing this, Iori Muga was speechless.

Because this kind of thing is real, he can do it too, but only if the barrier isn't too thick and he can definitely hear the sound.

According to his observation, the door is very soundproof. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to hear footsteps outside. If someone is talking loudly, you can hear them, but you can't hear them very clearly.

Kitahara Natsuhiro said he could identify people by their footsteps, which really surprised him.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro's expression was not a joke; it was genuine.

So, Kitahara Natsuyu is really something else!

He realized that the people around Sonoko Suzuki were no ordinary individuals, which explained why the Suzuki Zaibatsu was so comfortable letting Sonoko act freely on her own!
"Miss Ooka, Mr. Iori, please come in." Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled, made way for them, and went to the shoe cabinet to take out new shoes for them.

Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji bowed slightly and said, "Thank you."

She came to the entrance, took off her shoes, revealing flesh-colored stockings, and then changed into the slippers that Kitahara Natsuyu had prepared.

"Mr. Kitahara, this is just a small gift, nothing more."

At this moment, Iori Muga, holding gifts in both hands, bowed and looked at Kitahara Natsuhiro.

"You are really too polite."

Although Kitahara Natsuhiro said that, he still reached out and put the gift away.

It's actually quite heavy; I wonder what's inside.

But this was a gift from the Ooka Zaibatsu, so it should be quite valuable.

"Please." Kitahara Natsuyu, carrying the gifts, led the two inside.

"Oh, Ooka Momiji, what brings you here!"

Kazuha Toyama stood with her hands on her hips, looking menacingly at Momiji Ooka, who had come with ill intentions.

"Why can't I come?" Ooka Momiji smiled slightly. "I'm here to visit Mr. Kitahara. Is there a problem?"

"Yes, no problem!"

Kazuha Toyama immediately retreated.

The reason was so compelling that she couldn't refute it at all.

But it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Ooka Momiji is after Hattori Heiji!

Damn woman!
"Hehe, the troublesome guy is here, but we can watch the show, how great!" Sera Masumi said with a look of amusement.

That's interesting, absolutely fascinating!

P.S.: Not finished yet, will continue tomorrow.
