Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 488 I'm not omniscient or omnipotent!

Happy times are fleeting.

Evening arrived quickly, and Kitahara Natsuyu and his group had finished dinner in the mall and were preparing to go their separate ways.

Sonoko invited them to her house, but since school starts the day after tomorrow and everyone had some things to take care of, they didn't go.

Furthermore, Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga are returning to Kyoto today.

As for Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori, they plan to stay here for one more night and then take a flight back to Osaka tomorrow at noon to prepare for school.

"In that case, let's part ways here!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group stood at the crossroads.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko said, "I'm going this way. I'll head back now."

"I'm going this way too. Let's go, Conan, Sonoko."

Besides, Koizumi Akako is another direction, as are Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga.

Kitahara Natsuhiro, Sera Masumi, Toyama Kazuha, and Hattori Heiji went in another direction.

Be careful on the road!

"Ok!"

After everyone responded, they parted ways there.

Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga bowed slightly to Kitahara Natsuyu and the others before turning and leaving.

“Miss Kureha, you seem to be having a great time today,” Iori Muga said softly, stepping half a body away from her.

Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji laughed: "Is it that obvious?"

"Well, obviously."

In some matters, Iori Muga always speaks his mind, but in others, he is more reserved in his speech.

However, this is not necessary at this time.

“Yes,” said Ooka Momiji. “I was really happy today because I met a lot of girls my age. I was very happy, and we talked a lot.”

At this point, she couldn't help but chatter on and on, telling Iori Muga what they had just talked about.

After hearing these words, Iori Muga said nothing, acting as a proper listener.

"Miss Hongye, you've really worked hard all these years."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance behind him. Although there was no one behind him, a figure vaguely appeared in his vision.

"Kitahara Natsuyu, you really understand girls. You know what girls want to know."

"Miss has indeed become much happier because of you, but I still won't let you hurt her!"

Making a young lady happy is one thing, but making her sad is another.

He would never let anyone who dared to upset the young lady go unpunished.

I'll say it again: he'll risk his life.

the other side.

Kitahara Natsuhiro, Toyama Kazuha, Hattori Heiji, and Sera Masumi were walking along the road, chatting from time to time.

Sera Masumi talked to Hattori Heiji the most.

Because both of them are detectives, they have a lot in common.

As for topics between girls, Sera Masumi doesn't talk about them very often.

However, Kazuha Toyama wasn't worried about anything, and she wasn't jealous at all; she was quite at ease.

If Sera Masumi knew, she'd probably punch Kazuha.

Too spicy!

"Are you guys going to have a late-night snack tonight?" Kitahara Natsuhiro suddenly asked.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Toyama Kazuha raised his hand and said, "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

She absolutely adores food.

Besides, it's only six o'clock now, and they won't go to sleep until at least ten o'clock, so there are still four hours left.

You'll definitely be hungry in four hours, so it's okay to have a late-night snack.

As for gaining weight from eating late-night snacks, that's not a big problem.

It's not like I eat it every day, just once, so it's not a big problem!

"Kazuha, are you a pig?" Hattori Heiji retorted. "All you do is eat. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight again?"

"I haven't gained weight!" Kazuha Toyama said, waving her hands in annoyance.

"Ha!" Hattori Heiji crossed his arms and glanced at Toyama Kazuha: "Who was it that gained 1.5 kilograms last time and started yelling about wanting to lose weight, and even dragged me to go for a run every morning, so I couldn't get enough sleep!"

"I'm still developing. What if I don't get enough sleep and don't grow tall?"

Actually, he quite enjoyed going for a morning run with Kazuha, but there were some things he couldn't say directly.

This is what proud and arrogant people are like!

"Hmph! Your development has reached its limit, so your lack of height has nothing to do with me!" Toyama Kazuha retorted without any politeness.

And so, the two of them walked and bickered as they went.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Sera Masumi fell behind.

"Brother Kitahara, can you smell something?" Sera Masumi squinted, her cheeks twitching from time to time.

"I can smell it," Kitahara Natsuyu said. "The stench of love."

Although Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama didn't date or even confess their feelings, the saccharine scent of romance was still palpable even from afar.

It's so sour!

Of course, Kitahara Natsuyu didn't mind the sour smell, because he also had girlfriends, and quite a few at that.

Poor Sera Masumi, she's stuck here as a third wheel.

Poor Sera Masumi!

"Why are you looking at me with such pitiful eyes!" Sera Masumi said irritably. "Although I don't have a boyfriend, I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

"Really?" Kitahara Natsuhiro asked skeptically.

At the age of high school, there are very few students who don't want to be in a relationship. Some even start dating as early as middle school, or even elementary school or kindergarten.

Elementary school and kindergarten kids should be shot dead!
Furthermore, Ran and Shinichi Kudo met in kindergarten, and along with Sonoko, the three of them were childhood friends.

“Really!” Sera Masumi said, “The only thing I want to do right now is catch those guys so that my mom and I won’t have to hide anymore.”

"Then you will be able to return to a normal life."

Her life was quite normal, but Sera Marie's was not so normal, because there were some places where she couldn't show her face.

It would be troublesome if someone took a picture of you showing your face.

After all, the Black Organization's spies are everywhere, and if they come knocking on our door, we won't be able to stay in Beika Town. "By the way, you haven't told me about the organization yet. Tell me now while we're at it!" Sera Masumi glanced at the two people in front of her and then whispered.

There are some things that Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori must not know.

Even if Heiji Hattori learns of the organization's existence because of Conan, it's still the same; he simply cannot reveal it.

“Okay!” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and said, “Actually, the explosion that happened last night wasn’t a gas explosion, but rather that Gin and Vodka used a weapon of mass destruction.”

"A weapon of mass destruction?" Sera Masumi paused, then whispered, "A rocket launcher?"

When it comes to weapons of mass destruction, what comes to mind? And this thing can be fired by a single person, and it's quite powerful.

"Yes, it wasn't Team Rocket, it was grenades, and more than one!" Kitahara Natsuyu said. "That's why there was such a terrible explosion."

"The Japanese police were blown up, and so were the FBI agents; they lost a lot of manpower."

"Then what about my brother?" Sera Masumi asked.

“Shuichi Akai, he’s fine, you don’t need to worry!” Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

Shuichi Akai really doesn't need to worry, because he's still traumatized and hasn't been able to get over it yet.

Therefore, he is temporarily unable to do some field work and can only do some behind-the-scenes work to support his teammates!
If Shuichi Akai had been able to take on fieldwork, things might have turned out differently.

After all, Shuichi Akai is quite powerful in combat, and if he were to take action, he could indeed turn the tide of the battle.

After all, he's a man who can accurately hit a target even when firing a shot from 800 kilometers away.

It's so terrifying!

Unfortunately, Shuichi Akai has been destroyed by Natsuhiro Kitahara and can only stay in a dark room as a worm.

But this was all Shuichi Akai's own doing.

Lying to his own cousin, especially knowing she was lying—he's inhuman!

He wouldn't do this if he were just trying to fool a complete stranger.

Of course, if she's his woman, that's a different story!

"That's great!" Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi felt relieved and wanted to go home immediately to share the good news with her mother.

After all, she hadn't been in contact with her brother for a while and had no idea how he was doing. Coupled with the matter of the black organization, she was quite worried.

Of course, her mother was also worried, that much is certain.

It's just that it won't show on your face.

In some ways, Sera Mary is also a tsundere, but she's much better than Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha, Ran, and Kudo Shinichi!

They're mentally ill, Sera Mary is normal!
"So, have Gin and Vodka been caught?"

Sera Masumi is quite concerned about this matter. If they can catch them, it will deal a significant blow to the black organization, and could even wipe out the organization in the Japanese region.

You should know that Gin is the person in charge of the Japanese region. If we capture him, we can basically find out about the Black Organization's base in Japan.

But that's on the condition that Gin says so.

Given Gin's personality, he would never betray the organization, and he has also undergone training with Truth Serum, so it would be very difficult to get him to talk.

It's unlikely we'll see the adage "a wise man submits to circumstances" applied to Gin.

“Of course not!” Kitahara Natsuyu said without hesitation, “If they were caught, we could basically destroy most of the black organization, and even find out who their boss is!”

Gin is one of the organization's absolute core members.

Although Rum and Vermouth are above Gin in status, they are both experts in internal strife, so the entire organization is supported by Gin.

Therefore, the boss also trusts Gin very much.

If the boss shows up, then the only person most likely to see the boss is Gin; it's hard to say who the others will be.

Especially Rum, who seems to have some designs on the boss.

It's normal to have ideas; after all, the boss is that age, and if he had no ideas at all, he'd be a eunuch.

Is Rum a eunuch?

Of course not, he's just a one-eyed man, missing an eye, but his manhood is still intact.

So if he seizes control of the organization, he can pass it on to his next generation, which can be considered as crossing social classes.

"The boss of the organization?" Sera Masumi pondered. "I once heard my brother say that the boss of the organization has never shown his face. Even when he calls, it's a synthesized electronic voice. And very few people have actually seen the boss."

"He guessed that Gin might have met one of the bosses, and then Vermouth and a guy codenamed Rum!"

"As for the others, he doesn't know!"

Shuichi Akai knew of Rum's existence, but he had never seen Rum, nor had he heard any rumors about him.

Because he had only been a member of the organization for a short time, he was unaware of some of the rumors.

However, Ai knew about the rumors surrounding Rum.

One-eyed, a burly man with a prosthetic eye.

But I have never seen this person.

Because of Ai's information, Conan in the anime, after learning about Rum, would be terrified whenever he saw a one-eyed person, fearing that these one-eyed people were Rum.

Yamato Kansuke and Kuroda Hyōe were both suspects, and he was almost scared to death at the time.

However, neither of these guys are actually police officers; they are both from the Metropolitan Police Department and belong to the Red Team.

However, Kuroda Hyoue did have contact with the Black Organization and seemed to have had a chance encounter with Rum more than ten years ago, but he was later hunted down by the organization and had a car accident, leaving him in a coma for ten years.

But to be so robust after being in a coma for ten years is truly a gift!
Right now, the real rum is in Kitahara Natsuhiro's shop, but he's been on vacation these past few days, and I don't know what Wakita Kanenori is up to.

In short, Kenjiro Wakita couldn't cause any trouble in front of Natsuhiro Kitahara, and he always managed to stop anyone who tried to investigate Conan.

I can bully Conan, but not you. You're my stepson, after all!
"By the way, Kitahara-nii, do you know who the boss of the organization is?" Sera Masumi suddenly asked.

She knew that Kitahara Natsuhiro knew a lot, so she decided to try asking him.

It's okay if you don't know, but if you do know, then you've really struck gold!
Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not omniscient or omnipotent, how would I know who the organization's boss is?"

"If I knew, I would definitely sell his information for a good price!"

Although he knew that the boss's identity was Karasuma Renya, no one knew exactly what he looked like.

After all these years, who knows what that old monster has become?

So this guy is also a mystery!

"really."

"you"

Just as Kitahara Natsuhiro was about to say something, Hattori Heiji suddenly shouted, "What are you two whispering about in the back?"

He felt that what Kitahara Natsuhiro and Sera Masumi said was important, but he didn't know what they said, and since he had already spoken, he couldn't hear it anymore.

"Nothing much, we're just discussing what to eat for a late-night snack."

"Let's go to the store first and buy some ingredients!"
