Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 253 Chikage: Kitahara-sensei, I completely agree with you!

Mihana Town, Lavender Cafe.

"Teacher Kitahara."

The shop's staff greeted Kitahara Natsuhiro warmly upon seeing him.

Kitahara Natsuhiro had been to this coffee shop a few times, so the staff there all knew him and his profession.

"Are you here to meet with the students' parents?"

"You must be really busy. First-grade students are not easy to manage, are they?" the waitress said softly.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu looked troubled and said, "Who says otherwise?"

“Elementary school students are really disobedient at this age and difficult to manage. If you are too harsh, the parents will complain. If you are too lenient, the students will not accept it.”

"As a teacher, I also have quite a headache."

He knew that the student the waitress was referring to was one of his first-grade students at Teitan Elementary School, but the student she was referring to was Kaito Kuroba, a high school student.

But it's not a big problem.

There's not much difference between a high school student and an elementary school student; they're both students, and the teacher can discipline them.

That's because he's a teacher.

So is there a problem with teachers disciplining students?
No problem. Although Kaito Kuroba is a high school student, he is not a student at Teitan Elementary School.

But he treated everyone equally. He said, "If you are my student, then you are my student."

This is quite similar to the WarGreymon.

Upon hearing this, the waitress couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Although it was a joke, she didn't forget her duties.

"Are there two Kitahara-sensei teachers today, or several?"

“Just the two of you. I only met with one guy today.” Kitahara Natsuhiro held up two fingers.

"it is good."

"I'll take you to a secluded place." The waitress already knew Kitahara Natsuyu.

And the conversation definitely needs to be conducted in a quiet corner.

"Thank you for your trouble." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded slightly.

"plz follow me."

Then, the waitress led Kitahara Natsuhiro to a quiet corner.

In addition, because it was snowing outside, not many people came to the coffee shop at this time, and the whole coffee shop was quite quiet.

It's a great place to slack off; you could even lie down and sleep here and no one would say a word.

"Mr. Kitahara, please have a seat here," the waitress said. "Would you like another bottle of orange juice?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro doesn't really like coffee, but he likes soft drinks.

Although it's a coffee shop, they also cater to children, so they offer things like orange juice and some desserts.

Customers who have tried it all say it's good.

“Yes.” Kitahara Natsuhiro said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

"You're welcome."

The waitress smiled slightly and then went to get orange juice for Kitahara Natsuhiro.

A moment later, she brought over a glass of orange juice, and at the same time, the door to the coffee shop was opened again, and the bell on the door rang.

"welcome."

The scene at the doorway couldn't be seen from this corner, so after watching her leave, Kitahara Natsuhiro looked out the window.

At this moment, the waitress immediately went to greet them. A lady with short, shoulder-length purple hair, a good figure, and looking to be about thirty years old entered. She was quite elegant.

"Hello, miss, how many are in your party?" the waitress asked.

"Hello, I have an appointment with someone. Is Mr. Kitahara Natsuhiro here?" Kuroba Chikage asked.

Upon hearing this, the waitress smiled slightly: "Oh, you're Mr. Kitahara's guest. Please follow me."

"Thank you."

Afterwards, the waitress led Kuroba Chikage to Kitahara Natsuyu's side.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Natsuhiro had already drunk half a glass of orange juice and was looking out the window at the snow scene.

It's still all white outside, but unlike when the sun was out, the sky has now turned gloomy, and it looks like it's going to snow again.

At this moment, the waitress and Kuroba Chikage came to Kitahara Natsuyu's side.

"Teacher Kitahara, your guest has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu turned around, looked at Kuroba Chikage standing beside him with a smile, and stood up to extend his hand: "Hello, I am Kitahara Natsuyu, Ms. Chikage."

Upon hearing the name "Miss Chikage" without her surname, she raised an eyebrow, extended her hand, and smiled slightly: "Hello, Kuroba Chikage."

Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't care about adding a surname.

After all, Kuroba Toichi was already dead, and her last wish was gone. In addition, Kuroba Kaito was already seventeen years old and an adult, so she didn't need to interfere too much anymore.

Therefore, he had no need to argue with someone who was already dead.

Furthermore, he sensed a hint of emotion from Kuroba Chikage's heart, a hint of impatience towards Kuroba Toichi.

Combining this with Kuroba Toichi's memories, he now knew what their relationship was.

They still appear to be a married couple, but in reality, they haven't been married for a long time.

However, Chikage Kuroba was a rather traditional woman. Since Toichi Kuroba had not actually died, she was not considered a widow, which is why she later went to America with him to take care of him.

However, Kuroba Toichi's performance was so poor, coupled with his mental illness, that Kuroba Chikage reached his limit.

After all, Kuroba Toichi really didn't act like a human being after he faked his death in America.

She's already a good woman for not running away, even though she's driving her crazy.

"Please take a seat."

"Thank you."

Kuroba Chikage nodded, sat down opposite Kitahara Natsuyu, and ordered a coffee from the waiter next to her.

After the waiter left, the two began to chat, exchanging information about their professions, ages, and so on.

Soon, the waiter brought the coffee, and at that moment, they got straight to the point.

"Mr. Kitahara, you seem to know our family very well?" Kuroba Chikage said in a deep voice.

From the conversation just now, she realized that Kitahara Natsuyu seemed to know a lot about their family.

This includes the fact that Kuroba Toichi was once the Phantom Thief Kid, and that she was once the Phantom Thief Lady.

Now that they've met here and talked things out, there's nothing they can't ask.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled slightly: "Actually, I saw it in a book, and it was even in the inner compartment."

"A book?" Kuroba Chikage raised an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “I know a girl named Ran Mouri, and her childhood friend is named Shinichi Kudo.”

"I saw this book by chance when I went to Shinichi Kudo's study once, and that's how I learned about these things." This is a lie.

This was a lie made up by Kitahara Natsuhiro to deceive Kuroba Chikage.

In any case, Chikage Kuroba couldn't possibly go to Shinichi Kudo to confirm this matter, because she didn't have his phone number, and even if she did, Shinichi Kudo wouldn't answer this unfamiliar number.

Because he is now a dead man.

Upon hearing this, Kuroba Chikage did not refute it, but her expression changed slightly.

Kitahara Natsuyu witnessed all of this.

And he will also know why Kuroba Chikage suddenly changed his expression.

It wasn't a special skill she learned as a phantom thief lady, but rather because she knew that Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku were brothers, and that Kudo Shinichi was Kudo Yusaku's son.

In other words, Kaito Kuroba and Shinichi Kudo are cousins.

This was something Kuroba Toichi told her when he was young; he only mentioned it briefly and never told her anything after that.

So she didn't know much either.

However, the brothers were indeed a little anxious, and the name Kaito Kid was also given by Yusaku Kudo.

Hmph! Is this the brothers' "fun"?

One of them acted as a thief, and the other as a detective, and they even gave the thief such a cool title.

That's really something.

And Yusaku Kudo actually recorded this kind of thing in a book, that's really something!

I almost got killed by this guy.

Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku, you two really are brothers!
Kuroba Chikage is currently having a terrible headache, and is even quite annoyed by Kudo Yusaku, whom she has never met before.

If it weren't for this guy, she wouldn't be facing this kind of trouble.

Damn Yusaku Kudo.

Of course, she wasn't without doubts about the veracity of Kitahara Natsuhiro's words, but according to her investigation, Kitahara Natsuhiro did indeed know Ran Mouri, and Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo were indeed childhood friends.

Furthermore, Yusaku Kudo and Toichi Kuroba are indeed brothers.

However, outsiders have no way of knowing about this matter.

For various reasons, Kuroba Chikage believed that Kitahara Natsuyu knew their family's identity because of the notes recorded by Kudo Yusaku.

So, to repeat myself, Yusaku Kudo, you really deserve to die!

"I see." Kuroba Chikage said, rubbing her forehead. "If this information came from writer Kudo Yu, then there's no problem."

"Why?" Kitahara Natsuyu asked knowingly.

Kuroba Chikage said, "Because Toichi is a thief and Kudo Yusaku is a detective, and the two of them have fought each other, so naturally there would be records."

She didn't intend to tell anyone else that Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku were brothers.

“I see.” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and continued, “Since I answered one of your questions, you should answer one of mine.”

"Please say."

"Did Kaito Kuroba become the Phantom Thief Kid to steal things in order to avenge his father?"

Kuroba Chikage replied without hesitation, "That's right, exactly."

"His father made some enemies when he was a phantom thief, and these enemies secretly murdered Tokui."

"After Kaito found out about this, he impersonated Kaito Kid, hoping to lure these people out and avenge his father."

“Although the child did well, I hope you, Kitahara-sensei, can forgive him. He did this wrong thing because of his father.”

“And this child didn’t hurt anyone.” Kuroba Chikage said sincerely.

Furthermore, since Kitahara Natsuyu held leverage over them, he could only resort to a softer approach.

Although Kaito Kuroba hasn't harmed anyone yet, in the future, he will blow up the power plant to cause a blackout in Osaka, paralyzing the entire city's power supply and transportation system.

This also includes hospitals.

Although the hospital has generators, some patients undergoing surgery would probably find it unbearable if such a thing were to happen suddenly.

Therefore, Kaito Kuroba in the future will also have hands full of blood.

But
What does this have to do with him? It's not like it was his friend who died, so why should he care so much?

They're Japanese anyway, so what if they die?

The only person he cares about right now is Kuroba Chikage; as for everyone else, it's none of his business.

“According to my investigation, that’s indeed the case,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “But as a teacher, I can’t let a child go astray.”

"How could someone so young become a thief, and even deliberately provoke those bad guys?"

"Isn't this just pushing myself into a fire pit?"

Honestly, he thought Kaito Kuroba's actions were incredibly stupid.

After all, the mysterious organization believed that Kuroba Toichi was dead and stopped paying attention to these things. As a result, you continued to use the identity of Phantom Thief Kid to swindle and deceive people outside, trying to lure these guys over.

If these guys could kill Kuroba Toichi, then they can kill you too.

They even know your identity.

What would Kaito Kuroba do if these guys were to disregard martial ethics and directly capture Aoko Nakamori and her butler, Kinosuke Terai?
Therefore, Kaito Kuroba's behavior is like playing house; he has no real strength but still makes a fool of himself everywhere.

If he possessed Kyogoku Makoto's strength, he could take back all those words.

But he was just a thief with some skills; how could he possibly fight against such a vicious organization? The most crucial point was that this organization knew his true identity.

After all, when Kuroba Toichi died, he was performing an escape show on stage as a magician.

Of course, Kaito Kuroba's determination to avenge his father is admirable, but he's just too reckless.

Hearing this, Kuroba Chikage wholeheartedly agreed.

She also believes that Kaito pushed himself into a fire pit.

Even she and Touichi only dared to investigate in secret, instead of using the identity of Phantom Thief Kid to lure the snake out.

But Kaito did just that, really thinking he was the protagonist and that no one could kill him!

Stupid, utterly stupid.

"Teacher Kitahara, you are truly a good teacher." Chikage Kuroba said sincerely, "Although Kaito is not your student, I am really happy that you can think of him like this."

"If you could be Kaito's teacher, he might not have done that."

She is currently having a real headache about this matter.

Because if one is not careful, Kaito could be killed, and even Terai Kinosuke, she, and Toichi could all be in trouble.

Buzz buzz.
Just then, Kuroba Chikage's phone rang.

"You answer the phone first," Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

"okay."
