Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 352 Mrs. Mary, you can't rely on your son. You can rely on yourself. You can do it!

The next day.

Kitahara Natsumi got up as usual, made breakfast, and then got ready to go to work in a black tracksuit.

The moment the front door opened, the front door of Judy's house next door also opened at that very moment.

"Good morning, Judy." Kitahara Natsuyu greeted her with a smile, then noticed that her complexion seemed a little off: "Judy, what's wrong? You don't look well, are you sick?"

He continued to ask questions he already knew the answer to, as always.

He heard everything that happened at Judy's house yesterday and could sense Judy's feelings.

He also knew that Shuichi Akai would be going out to meet Jodie and James today, and that he was also planning to go to the theater.

After all, I'm just killing time anyway, so I might as well go watch a show and see what Shuichi Akai has become.

Because Shuichi Akai's heart is corrupted, he no longer tries to see into Shuichi Akai's mind.

He was also afraid of being infected by unclean things, which was really disgusting, even though he himself had caused all of this.

But he also didn't want to know what Shuichi Akai was thinking.

"Ah, your complexion." Judy paused for a moment upon hearing this, subconsciously reaching out to touch her face, then forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night, so I look a little tired."

"Didn't sleep well? Could it be that those teenage brats were too noisy? Is that why you're having a headache?" Kitahara Natsumi teased.

After all, Judy is a blonde, blue-eyed woman with a stunning figure, and she's also a teacher.

Therefore, Judy is extremely attractive to high school students.

Judging from the anime, the students in her class liked to pry into Judy's private affairs, but Judy always managed to brush them off with jokes.

Of course, this was just something Kitahara Natsuhiro said offhand.

“Them?” Judy said, “No, it’s just some trivial matters in my life.”

Although the kids in her class were a bit troublesome, she was still able to handle them, but not because of the students themselves.

It was because of Shuichi Akai.

“The little things in life,” Kitahara Natsuhiro sighed.

Ding Dong
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Kitahara Natsuyu and Jodie stepped inside. Then the elevator doors closed, and the elevator descended.

“You know I’m American, and my family is still in the US, so things there are bothering me,” Judy said slowly.

This is a lie!

Her parents died when she was young and had ties to organized crime, which is one of the reasons she became an FBI agent.

Because she was also a member of the Witness Protection Program, she then joined the FBI.

So what bothers her now is Shuichi Akai's situation, not her parents.

But there were some things she couldn't tell Kitahara Natsumi, so she could only lie.

However, as a secret agent, she had become accustomed to lying, and even lived in a world of lies.

She didn't want to lie if she could, but she had no choice; she was an FBI agent with a significant mission.

So, is it to remove this malignant tumor, the black tissue?
While Judy's idea was to eliminate the Black Organization, a scourge, the FBI itself may not have had the same idea.

How can the US be considered such a rogue state that it only wants to eliminate criminal organizations?
No, it will definitely use the criminal organization to do more, or even make the criminal organization take the blame and settle accounts.

Moreover, there are many scientists within the black organization. Once the black organization is wiped out, the scientists will be theirs, as will the blame and unresolved issues.

It can be said that criminal organizations are also a substitute for settling accounts.

After all, the FBI has a lot of messy issues.

The black organization is a convenient dumping ground for these messes; no one would find it strange to simply pin these grievances on them.

I know, I know, the Black Organization is a villain!
“Family matters,” Kitahara Natsuhiro sighed. “If it’s a family matter, then that’s certainly true.”

“Some things are very difficult to handle, especially when they involve your closest family members, and most importantly, you’re not even in the United States.”

"That's it."

Ding Dong
At that moment, the elevator doors opened again, and this time the people who entered were Jodie's students, Sera Masumi and Akai Mary.

When Jodie, Sera Masumi, and Akai Mary met, nothing seemed amiss.

This wasn't their first meeting.

After all, Sera Masumi and Akai Mary also live here, and Sera Masumi has to go to school, so they see each other all the time and have already met before.

However, none of the three of them were ordinary people, so after their first meeting, they all knew each other's identities and showed no surprise on their faces.

Mary Akai was a former member of MI6. Although she has retired, she still retains the qualities of a secret agent. Jodie is a current secret agent, and acting is also her profession.

And Sera Masumi, in the end, is no ordinary high school student either.

The daughter of a detective and an agent, the sister of an agent, and the sister of a future seven-time champion.

Her numerous titles destined her for an extraordinary life.

So these three are not ordinary people gathered together, and they look very normal, except that there is an ordinary man mixed in with these three fierce women.

And this 'ordinary' man was none other than Kitahara Natsuhiro.

But in reality, among these four people, Kitahara Natsuhiro is the most extraordinary.

Because this guy isn't human, at least not a pure human.

“Sister Mary, so pure.” Kitahara Natsuyu looked at the two of them and called out softly.

This wasn't something he wanted to say to Mary; it was something Mary Akai made him say.

After all, Shuichi Akai still looks very young, so he doesn't want people to make him look old.

There's no way around it; no woman likes being perceived as old, not even Mary Akai.

Time truly is the enemy of women and all of humanity!

Fortunately, Conan is still a child, and time is still in a loop, which is truly a cause for celebration!

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi greeted Kitahara Natsuyu and her teacher warmly, revealing her signature fangs: "Good morning, Natsuyu-nii, Jodie-sensei."

Because of their familiarity with each other, Sera Masumi has started calling Kitahara Natsuyu "Natsuyu-nii" (older brother Natsuyu).

Kitahara Natsuhiro calls Akai Mary "older sister," while Akai Mary calls Kitahara Natsuhiro "younger brother." Masumi calls Mary "mother," but calls Kitahara Natsuhiro "older brother."

Therefore, the relationship between the three of them is independent and there is absolutely no conflict between them.

Judy, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch her lips as she listened to the three people's chaotic way of addressing each other.

Good morning, Mrs. Mary, and Jun.

Judy's way of addressing the two was much more normal: she called one "Madam" and the other "Ms. Jun."

However, all three of them knew each other's identities.

After all, Shuichi Akai had previously told his mother and sister about Jodie.

Judy had also seen information about Sera Masumi and Akai Mary in some FBI files.

So the three of them are currently in a tacit understanding, living their own lives normally and not disturbing each other.

But they do have one thing in common: they're keeping it from Kitahara Natsuyu, who understands everything. Kitahara Natsuyu understands everything, but he has to pretend he doesn't—that's a real test of acting skills.

The same goes for Jodie, Sera Masumi, and Akai Mary; they are all acting.

At this moment, the four of them were putting on an acting showdown.

These four actors were incredibly skilled; no one noticed anything amiss, or perhaps they saw through their act but chose not to point it out.

And so, the four people who knew the truth but pretended not to understand ended their elevator journey.

After exiting the elevator, Kitahara Natsuhiro, Jodie, and Sera Masumi walked together towards the school.

Teitan Elementary School and Teitan High School are in the same direction, only differing in distance.

As for Mary Akai, she went shopping at the supermarket.

Now that Sera Masumi lives here, Akai Mary makes all three of her meals every day.

While John Bull was in London, she was also a housewife, taking care of the three children's daily lives.

Now that the eldest and second eldest have become independent, she only needs to take care of Sera Masumi, the youngest.

Although things have become easier, she also feels that life is a bit monotonous.

After all, she didn't have many friends in Japan, so it was quite boring.

Although it wasn't there when I was in London.

After all, she used to be a secret agent, and secret agents really don't deserve to have friends, let alone a retired one like her.

So she could only find something to do.

For example, getting up early in the morning to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients, then taking a cooking class, practicing yoga to maintain your figure, and then going to a beauty salon to take care of your skin.

You can't mistreat yourself, and she has plenty of money!

"Mom, I'm going to school."

Sera Masumi waved and then left with Kitahara Natsuhiro and Jodie.

After seeing her daughter leave, Mary Akai turned and left as well, saying, "I wonder how that brat Shuichi has been doing lately? He won't answer my calls. He's so old and he still makes his old mother worry."

Although Shuichi Akai has grown up, in her eyes, no matter how old he is, he will always be her son.

It's perfectly normal for a mother to worry about her son.

However, her son Shuichi Akai was too mature and didn't need her to manage him at all.

"Forget about that brat Shuichi." Mary Akai sighed. "I just hope the second one will be good and have two boys, then we can adopt one of them."

The second son, Haneda Hideyoshi, whose original name was Akai Hideyoshi, was adopted by Akai Tsutomu's older brother.

Haneda Yasuharu, who had a son named Haneda Koji.

This Koji Haneda was killed by the Black Organization more than ten years ago. It seems that it was Rum who did it, and he left behind some information that points to Rum.

However, no one knew this information before. It was only later that Conan and Shuichi Akai solved the mystery and learned about it.

Closer to home.

Therefore, Hideyoshi Haneda can be considered a member of the Haneda family, or he can be considered a member of the Akai family.

This is why Mary Akai thinks this way.

In her opinion, Shuichi Akai was no longer a viable figure and might die at any time, so expecting him to leave an heir for the Akai family was unrealistic.

So they can only rely on their second child.

However, the second son wasn't doing so well either; he ruined his girlfriend's chances by playing shogi.

He said he would marry his girlfriend once he won seven championships.

This gave Mary Akai, who was a mother, a real headache. Couldn't you just be more direct?

Getting married first, then winning seven championships—reversing the order doesn't really cause any problems.

But Hideyoshi just wouldn't stop, and there was nothing she could do about it.

But the second child is always a little better than the first.

If Kitahara Natsuhiro were here, he might say to Akai Mary...
Mrs. Mary, it's better to rely on yourself than to beat your son and second son.

After all, you are still young, and with my strength, you can still give birth.

Mrs. Mary, you still look quite charming!
Unfortunately, Kitahara Natsuhiro is not here.

Of course, if Mary Akai heard this, she might slap Natsuhiro Kitahara twice.

To be fair, she is a woman with some traditional values; otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed with her three children without remarrying.

Of course, her remarriage wasn't entirely due to this; the main reason was that she was a secret agent.

That's why I didn't consider these things.

"Are you all going to Sonoko's family's 60th anniversary celebration?" Sera Masumi asked.

On their way to school, the three of them unconsciously started talking about Sonoko's family.

Since this matter had already made it into the newspapers, it naturally became a hot topic in Tokyo.

Furthermore, Sonoko was their classmate and student.

“Yes.” Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded. “Sonoko told me about it a long time ago, and Mrs. Suzuki also personally invited me, so of course I’m going.”

“Mrs. Suzuki? Mrs. Tomoko.” Sera Masumi said, “I’ve met Mrs. Tomoko before. She’s a very elegant woman.”

“I met him once too, and he was quite approachable,” Judy said.

Teitan High School also held parent-teacher conferences. Tomoko Suzuki attended one of them, and Jodie met her once. She seemed very approachable.

“Yes, yes, that’s the feeling I get from Sonoko’s mom too,” Sera Masumi said.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "In that case, let's go together. It'll be more fun with more people."

"Okay, I have no problem with that."

"Me too."

Sera Masumi and Jodie said.

Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived at Teitan Elementary School first, while Jodie and Sera Masumi went to Teitan High School.

At the same time, Judy's phone rang; it was a text message.

Judy, don't forget!

After glancing at her phone, Judy didn't reply, but instead thought to herself, "Show-off."

at the same time.

"Should we start?"

After opening the door, Kitahara Natsuhiro was already preparing to make a run for it.
