Yukiko Kudo began to feel troubled.

"You have to believe me, I'm really not a bad person." Looking at the boy who picked up Conan, whom she had dropped, and checked his condition, Yukiko Kudo spoke again.

Yuu Aragaki gestured to the drugged Conan in his hand, then looked at Yukiko Kudo with an expression of utter disbelief and asked, "This? A misunderstanding? A good person?"

Yukiko Kudo, whose face was almost frozen from awkwardly laughing, couldn't find any reason to laugh at this moment.

Just as she was thinking about whether to call Yusaku for help.

But then he discovered that the boy in front of him had thrown Conan at him.

"Huh?!" Yukiko Kudo caught Conan in a flustered manner, looking at Yuu Aragaki with a surprised expression.

What...what's going on?

"Hey what? Didn't you say it was all a misunderstanding?" Aragaki Yu shrugged and said, "I believe you."

Yukiko Kudo: ...

Is this boy an idiot?

"You...aren't you going to confirm anything else?" Yukiko Kudo still couldn't believe that the boy in front of her had just handed Conan over to her like this.

"Huh?" Yuu Aragaki looked at Yukiko Kudo with confusion, then explained, "Ran should have already confirmed everything that needed to be confirmed at the Mouri Detective Agency, otherwise, given Ran's personality, she wouldn't have entrusted Conan to you."

"Well, it's also possible that the documents I gave him were fake!" Unable to bear seeing such a naive and innocent boy, Kudo Yukiko felt a pang of conscience and couldn't help but blurt out her own words.

"So you mean that's a fake ID?"

Yukiko Kudo: "..."

"Also, although I don't know why you drugged Conan, if you really were a bad guy, I don't think Professor Agasa, who has been hiding behind the scenes, would be so indifferent."

Under Yukiko Kudo's surprised gaze, Yu Aragaki pointed to the corner of a white coat peeking out from behind a flower bed not far away.

"Hahaha... You still found out, Aragaki!" Professor Agasa, embarrassed at being discovered, scratched his head and came out from behind the flower bed.

Professor Agasa walked up to the two of them and solemnly explained to Aragaki Yu, "However, Aragaki, I can indeed testify that this woman... Ms. Edogawa Fumiyo, is indeed Conan's mother."

Because of Conan, Aragaki Yu and Professor Agasa have had several interactions.

Later, Yuya Aragaki visited Professor Agasa's house many times under the pretext of visiting his inventions, and he praised many of Professor Agasa's inventions.

At the same time, Yuya Aragaki, drawing on his knowledge and experience from his previous life, offered different ideas and suggestions for improvement on many of Professor Agasa's designs.

Therefore, the two gradually became acquainted.

Yukiko Kudo finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Professor Agasa come out to explain.

He was secretly relieved that he and Yusaku had informed Professor Agasa beforehand.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do this time.

"Young man, I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble!" Seeing that the matter was finally over, Yukiko bowed to Aragaki Yu to express her apology.

She was thinking to herself that she had wasted a lot of time because of what had just happened.

If we don't hurry back, Yusaku might start to worry about what might happen.

Yuu Aragaki glanced at Conan, who was now quietly unconscious in Yukiko Kudo's arms, and couldn't help but sigh, "I can understand why you charmed Conan. He's usually too naughty and noisy. Sometimes, I even want to do it myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuu Aragaki waved goodbye to Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo, then turned and walked towards the gate of his own house.

Ugh……

Getting involved in other people's family affairs is nowhere near as fun as going home and playing games with the Demon Blade Princess.

Yukiko Kudo: ? ? ?

Chapter 63 Acting

After reuniting with the masked man in black, played by Yusaku Kudo.

Yukiko Kudo also recounted the events that occurred when she charmed the professor's son near his house.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted, but thankfully, it all ended without serious injury." Yukiko Kudo collapsed onto the sofa.

I never expected that just acting would make me so worried.

"A boy with the surname Aragaki?" Kudo Yusaku muttered, resting his chin on his hand.

"Huh? Honey, do you know that boy?" Yukiko asked, somewhat surprised to see Yusaku Kudo deep in thought.

“No, I don’t know him, but if what the professor said is true, he’s the boy who lives nearby,” Yusaku Kudo explained, “then he must be their child.”

"Them?" Yukiko didn't understand Yusaku's meaning.

"You've seen it too? It's that Aragaki family's Yin-Yang House near our house. Didn't you visit it out of curiosity back then?"

"Oh! You mean that interesting couple?" Yukiko Kudo's eyes suddenly lit up. "Come to think of it, I think I heard them mention that they had a child who was about the same age as Shinichi."

Yusaku Kudo nodded: "Mm."

"But I didn't expect this kid to be so handsome..." Yukiko lay on the sofa, recalling the boy she had met, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Yukiko, what did you say?" Kudo Yusaku did not hear Yukiko's murmur.

"Ah, it's nothing. So, Yusaku, shall we continue this act?"

“Of course, now that we’ve brought him here, we have to scare him a little, or he’ll never know his place,” Kudo Yusaku said earnestly, glancing at his son who was still unconscious in the room.

"That's good! But Shin-chan looks so cute when he's back to his childhood!" Yukiko's eyes lit up as she looked at Shinichi, who had returned to his childhood.

……

"Huh? I lost again?" Putting down the controller, Yuu Aragaki stared incredulously at the game interface on the TV.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yaodaoji was sitting in front of a controller placed on the ground, looking excited.

Meanwhile, Yuki-onna floated to the side, holding an ice cream cone in one arm, watching Aragaki Yuu and Yoto-hime's game battle.

"Onmyoji, you're really bad! This is the 10th time you've lost to Yoto Hime in a row!" Yuki Onna said with a mocking smile.

"It's not that I'm bad, it's that Yaodao-hime is too strong!" Aragaki Yu couldn't help but argue, "At least I'm undefeated against Conan in 19 battles!"

(Conan, still being persecuted by his parents: ...)

However, he looked at the Demon Blade Princess beside him with some disbelief.

Unexpectedly, except for the first game, Yaodao-hime lost to herself because she was still getting used to the game.

Starting from the second game, the situation gradually changed from a narrow victory to a complete rout.

"Hehehe~" Yaodao-hime lowered her head shyly upon hearing Aragaki Yu's praise.

……

And the other side.

After going through countless hardships, Conan finally discovered that it was all a play staged by his parents and Professor Agasa.

Conan looked at his parents, who had shed their disguises, and Professor Agasa, and lay down on the sofa, exhausted.

"Alright, don't be angry, Shinichi. Your mom and dad are just worried about you!" Yusaku Kudo explained to Conan.

“Yeah, we finally made it home, only to find you’re not here,” Yukiko chimed in.

"So, you all found out about me shrinking from Professor Agasa, and then you teamed up to come up with this awful prank?" Conan muttered, somewhat dissatisfied.

Yusaku Kudo laughed and said, "We were just testing your reasoning skills! And look what happened, you clever kid, you followed the clues we left and found your way here. Everything was exactly as we predicted, right before Daddy fired the gun!"

Looking at his parents' beaming faces after their prank succeeded, Conan was speechless: "How can there be parents like this!"

“You have no choice but to blame yourself for not noticing!” Kudo Yusaku said. “This makeup is actually for a new character in my latest novel—the Dark Baron.”

"What?! Why are you bringing this up again! I thought I was going to be killed!" Conan said, still shaken.

"Oh, is that so? Then you'd better leave this dangerous country as soon as possible!"

Kudo Yusaku's voice suddenly turned serious.

"Huh?" Conan looked at his parents with some surprise.

"Yes, Shinichi, we arranged things this way because we didn't know your current situation," Yukiko Kudo said, crouching down and putting her arm around Conan's shoulder with concern.

“Yes, Shinichi, that’s why I helped your parents too,” Professor Agasa explained from the side.

"Shinichi, we came back this time hoping to take you away from this dangerous place and bring you back to live in America. Given the current situation, we really don't feel comfortable letting you stay here any longer."

Yusaku Kudo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, gazed into the distance, and confidently analyzed, "I have a friend who works in the United Nations Police Department. If we ask him for help, we can ask his organization to help investigate. I believe we should find the antidote to turn you back soon."

"So, let's end this dangerous detective game here!" After saying that, Yusaku Kudo looked at Conan.

"No!" Conan unexpectedly rejected his father's suggestion decisively. "This is my own business, and I want to solve it myself! I don't want your interference!"

“But Shinichi…” Yukiko Kudo looked worried.

"Besides, I'm doing very well here and have no desire to live abroad!" At this moment, Conan thought of his childhood friend, Ran.

"Shinichi, you..." Yukiko Kudo seemed to want to say something more.

"Never mind." Kudo Yusaku saw his son's firm stance. "Let's just go along with his wishes for now."

"Husband!" Yukiko glared at her husband reproachfully, clearly not wanting to leave her son in a dangerous place.

“But if you are in danger, we will take you away immediately.” With that, Yusaku Kudo sat down next to Conan and patted his head.
