Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"What's going on? What's going on!"

When everyone around them left and only the brother and sister were left, Haneda Hideyoshi finally couldn't help it and asked: "Why did mom remarry!"

"This..." Masumi Sera was about to explain, but suddenly remembered that her mother asked her to keep the specific situation of Ji Gang's family secret before going out: "How should I say it?"

"Tell me first, when did you get married? Why don't I know about it at all?"

Haneda Hideyoshi shook the hem of his kimono and stepped on his clogs with a little force: "Father... he just disappeared..."

Sera Masumi also fell silent. She had not seen her father since she was born. Her impression of Akai Mutake was completely learned from the mouths of three people in the family. Even if her mother really remarried, she would not feel anything, let alone This was already false.

"Brother, mom has the right to choose, doesn't she?"

She had no obligation to remain a lonely widow because of these adult sons.Although Akai Marie had no intention of remarrying, this request came from her brother's mouth, and Sera Masumi felt indescribably sad and angry.

Hearing his sister's question, Haneda Hideyoshi was slightly stunned. His expression immediately changed from confusion to shame.

"You're right, it's my fault. Mother has the right to control her own life."

He felt relieved. He smoothed down his kimono that was wrinkled due to his complicated mood, and returned to his calm and wise look.

"By the way, have you ever met Brother Xiuyi?"

Masumi Sera suddenly remembered her eldest brother who was said to have disappeared in Japan, and asked casually: "My mother and I haven't heard from him for a long time."

"Brother, I saw him on the streets of Ginza a few years ago. He was hugging a silly-looking woman with long hair. The two of them looked very happy."

Haneda Hideyoshi blinked: "But I haven't seen him recently. After adopting him to the Haneda family, I rarely even see you."

"I see, by the way, you should have a girlfriend."

With quick eyesight and quick hands, she snatched the phone from her brother's arms. Sera showed her fangs proudly and clasped her hands together: "Please, I want to see what my future sister-in-law looks like. Please show me the photo!"

"Yes... is there anything good to see? And if Yumei Tan doesn't agree, I'll show you her photos for free..."

He seemed to recall some bad memory, shook his head, and took the phone back.

"After some time, I will ask her if she is willing, can you have a meal together." Haneda Hideyoshi said with a smile: "I just want to bring my mother here and meet her together."

"what?!"

Sera Masumi suddenly panicked, causing Haneda Hideyoshi to frown. He stared at his sister cautiously: "You don't want to? Masumi can't let go of my brother..."

"It's absolutely impossible right now, alright, it's the most annoying thing when a sister controls a brother."

The girl raised her palms and seriously dispelled her brother's unrealistic fantasy: "It's just that it's not convenient for mom to go out. Her health... is not very good..."

"She is injured, is it serious?"

"No injuries, just feeling uncomfortable..."

[How is it possible? Such a fierce mother is so fragile except in front of her father and when she was pregnant...]

Haneda Hideyoshi suddenly raised his head, held his sister's shoulders with both hands, and asked in a trembling voice: "Masumi, you have to tell me the truth, mother, she..."

"She...she..." Sera Masumi's mouth also trembled.

"Is she pregnant again!" (End of chapter)
