Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 241 My son Kaito, what's your mom's phone number?

A villa in the mountains.

After Kitahara Natsuhiro parked the car, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan got out and took their backpacks from the trunk.

There are changes of clothes in this backpack.

They will be staying here for two days and one night, so naturally they need to prepare changes of clothes.

"It's so cold."

As Conan stepped out of the car, he shivered and his body trembled.

“Conan, your body is really too weak,” Kitahara Natsumi said. “Why don’t you run with me every morning? It will help your health.”

Conan shook his head and said, "Yeah, that's what I thought too, but it's so cold now, I don't really want to go out so early in the morning, hehehe."

He also felt that he needed to get up early to run and exercise, since his health was indeed a bit poor, and he would catch a cold every few days, which was quite bothersome.

It's worth noting that he used to be in excellent health, and he even joined a soccer club to train for soccer in order to help him become a detective.

As a result, after being fed strange drugs, my body shrank and I became weak. It was really terrible.

Therefore, he really should restart his training and become the elementary school detective Conan Edogawa again.

"It's precisely because of the cold weather that we need to exercise properly to stay healthy," Kitahara Natsuyu said.

"Hmm," Conan hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "Next week, next week I'll be training with Kitahara-sensei."

“Hmm, very good. I like students like you, students who listen to their teachers’ advice,” Kitahara Natsuyu said.

"Hehehe," Conan scratched the back of his head, revealing a silly grin.

At that moment, a beautiful woman got out of a car next to them. She had a mole on the corner of her mouth and long, dark brown hair.

"You're also from the Magic Enthusiasts' Alliance, right?" Tanaka Megumi smiled.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko readily admitted, "Yes, my name is Suzuki Sonoko, and my online name in the chat group is..."

"A magician's apprentice? Right!" Tanaka Keiku said with certainty.

"Huh?" Sonoko looked surprised upon hearing this. "How did you know? I've never mentioned my name or surname in the chat group!"

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Megumi covered her mouth and laughed: "Actually, this is just my guess, and quite a few people in the group know that you are a girl."

"And she's a young girl, which is why I'm so sure you're the magician's apprentice."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tanaka Megumi, and my code name in the chat group is Deceitful Child."

In fact, "Deceiving the Child" was not her online name, but her maternal grandfather's. She came here entirely for her grandfather, wanting to seek justice for him.

“My name is Kitahara Natsuhiro, and I’m their guardian now, so I came along,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

“I’m Ran Mouri, Sonoko’s friend, so I came along.”

"My name is Conan Edogawa, and I'm also Sonoko's older sister's friend."

"Hello." Tanaka Keiko smiled slightly.

And he muttered something to himself.

It's good to have a lot of people around. With a lot of people, I can take advantage of the situation and not get suspected.

I hope my revenge will go smoothly and without any unexpected incidents.

Standing to the side, Kitahara Natsuhiro heard the emotions emanating from Tanaka Megumi and had already glimpsed her inner thoughts.

However, he had no intention of stopping it; he was just going to watch the show.

After Tanaka Keikue kills the person, he will play the role of a famous detective for a while.

soon
Kitahara Natsuyu and his group chatted as they arrived at the villa's front door. Just as they were about to ring the doorbell, the villa's door suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man and a somewhat gloomy-looking man walked out from inside.

"You're here to attend the Magicians' Alliance gathering too, right?" Araki Yoshinori smiled and said, "I'm the owner of this villa. My name is Araki Yoshinori, and I'm also a member of the Magicians' Alliance."

"And this is a college student I hired to work."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu and the others began to introduce themselves, and when Sonoko introduced herself, Ara Yoshinori immediately called out her online name in the chat group.

"How come you all know who I am?" Sonoko was a little annoyed and sullen.

She thought she could give them some surprises, but there were no surprises at all; they already knew her identity.

Not fun at all.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yi laughed loudly and said, "Of course!"

"Because we already knew that you were a young woman pretending to be a man and chatting with us inside."

"I am a man, and men understand men. I am also married, so I understand women as well."

"So I already knew whether you were male or female."

He's quite old and has seen a lot, so he can easily tell whether someone is male or female from their words.

There are significant differences between how women and men chat, and he made that judgment based on those differences.

This is life experience.

"I see," Sonoko said. "You really are a man of experience."

Huang Yi then quipped, "So you mean I'm an old man?"

"Ah, that's not what I meant," Sonoko said, sweating profusely as she explained.

"Haha, I know you didn't mean that, I was just joking, after all, I'm not young anymore."

"Alright, it's cold outside, come in quickly," said Araki Yoshinobu.

"Yes!"

Then, Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others followed Araki Yoshinori and the college students he had hired into the villa.

The villa has heating; it's a completely different world from the outside.

It's freezing outside, but it's warm and cozy inside—it's so comfortable!

And because the air conditioning was on full blast, Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others took off their coats to get some fresh air.

"Haven't the others arrived yet?" Sonoko looked around the living room and turned to ask.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yi said, "It's still early, and with the snow, only a few of you have come. I think the others will arrive around three or four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Let me take you to your rooms first."

Next, the group went up to the second floor.

Ran and Sonoko share a room, while Kitahara Natsuhiro shares a room with Conan.

Tanaka Megumi is in one room.

This villa is quite large, so there are plenty of rooms, so there's no worry about not having enough room.

Furthermore, the number of people coming is uncertain, as some may not be able to come due to the snow. The exact number will depend on the situation. "You guys put your things down first. Xu Lian and I will go downstairs to prepare lunch. You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

Kitahara Natsuyu and the others arrived relatively early; it was only noon, almost one o'clock, so naturally they hadn't had lunch yet.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Araki Yoshinobu,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

“There,” said Arayoshi. “All guests are welcome, so lunch will be provided. Please wait a moment; it will be ready in half an hour.”

"Put your things down for now, and I'll call you out when everything's ready."

"Yes."

After everyone responded, they returned to their respective rooms.

However, Kitahara Natsuyu went to their room with Ran and Sonoko and took out a black object from his pocket.

"What is this?" Sonoko asked, looking at the object in Kitahara Natsuhiro's hand.

"This is a detector, specifically designed to find out if there are any surveillance cameras or recording devices in a room. I asked Amuro to get it for me," Kitahara Natsuhiro explained.

With technology becoming more and more advanced, he bought this in case he needed it.

To avoid someone installing something in your home and then leaking your private videos.

It's not a big deal if his own video is leaked, but it would be troublesome if someone else's video were leaked.

Therefore, he wanted to prevent this from happening, which is why this device was created.

"Brother Kitahara, why did you think of bringing this?" Ran asked.

At this moment, Conan, who was standing to the side, stroked his chin and said, "I think it's because of the recent news."

"There was a recent news report about someone installing surveillance cameras and recording devices in other people's homes to steal their whereabouts and then commit murder."

"I think Kitahara-sensei prepared these things after seeing this news."

"Although technology has developed, too many people like to use high technology to commit crimes."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Ran suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

Kitahara Natsuyu smiled: "Actually, there's one more thing."

"That's to prevent the cameras from capturing you changing clothes."

“We men are fine, but it’s different for you girls. Japan isn’t safe; there are a lot of bad people there, so you should be careful when you live outside.”

Upon hearing Kitahara Natsuyu's words, Sonoko and Ran couldn't help but shudder, crossing their arms and looking utterly disgusted.

They never imagined that there were such people in the world!
"However, there aren't any surveillance cameras or listening devices in this room. We'll test them in the toilet and bathroom later, and that should be fine." Kitahara Natsuyu put away his things and turned to look at the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're here. You can start unpacking now. Conan and I are going to our rooms first."

After saying that, he pulled Conan away from the room.

However, after Kitahara Natsuhiro and Conan left, Sonoko and Ran simply took off their heavy coats and took out a thinner coat from their bags, which was just right for wearing in this warm place.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Conan checked the room and, finding nothing wrong, changed into lighter clothes.

"Teacher, you still prefer wearing sportswear." Conan said softly, looking at Kitahara Natsuhiro in his black sportswear.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Wearing sportswear is very comfortable, and it's not tight at all."

"But at this time, you can call me Father, there's no need to be so formal!"

Hearing this, Conan rolled his eyes at him and crossed his arms: "I don't even want it. Last time I was threatened by you, but not this time."

“Sigh,” Kitahara Natsuyu sighed, “It’s really too difficult to get you to willingly call me father, but I still need to work harder.”

"Heh, never in this lifetime!" Conan said resolutely.

“That’s not necessarily true.” Kitahara Natsuyu raised an eyebrow. “By the way, how’s your dad, Edogawa Yuhei, doing? How many months along is your stepmother? Is she about to give birth?”

Hearing this, Conan's face darkened: "I haven't been paying much attention to what my dad is doing."

"Whether they have children or not has nothing to do with me. Besides, I don't have a stepmother, only my biological mother!"

After Yusaku Kudo and Rias arrived in Japan, Conan met with them.

However, Conan doesn't like Rias. Although she's beautiful, she's very pretentious, which he finds very distasteful. He would never accept such a woman as his stepmother, not even his father's woman.

Besides, he's an adult now and doesn't need his parents' care anymore, so he doesn't care much about them.

As for the future younger brother or sister
My head hurts so much!

Fortunately, his mother and Kitahara Natsumi didn't cause any deaths, otherwise he would have had an even bigger headache.

It seems my mother is more rational. Besides, she's getting older now, and if she were to have a baby, she would be considered an advanced maternal age mother.

Having children at this age is risky; it's better not to have children at all.

Being with Kitahara Natsuhiro like this isn't a bad choice.

I'm afraid Kitahara Natsuyu won't agree. After all, every man wants his own child; that's what makes a complete family.

"By the way, Kitahara-sensei, do you and my mom want to have a child?" Conan asked, looking up at Kitahara Natsuyu with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro knew what Conan was thinking.

He crouched down and put his hands on Conan's shoulders: "Don't worry, I won't force you to do this."

"It all depends on your mom's opinion; I don't really care."

Without him, it would have been very dangerous for Yukiko to have a child at her age.

But with him around, there's no threat to having children.

Although Yukiko is 37 years old now, her physical condition is only that of someone in their twenties, all thanks to him.

He truly devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.

"That's good."

“Mom is getting old, and it’s too dangerous for her to have another child. If she wants to, please try to persuade her, teacher,” Conan said earnestly.

He really worries himself sick over his mother.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to your mom. You don't need to worry."

"Okay, let's go down."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Conan left the room and went down to the first floor.

Then I saw a chubby young man on the first floor.

"My son Kaito, you're finally here! What's your mother's phone number? I need to have a serious talk with her!"
