Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Whatever!

Ignore!

Ignore them all!

When Yukiko Kudo saw that Yusaku Kudo, who had at least been moving before, was now completely still, she cried even harder.

That shouldn't be the case.

Judging from Kudo Yusaku's reaction last time.

It's impossible for it to fall down with just one blow, right?

Sano, who was well aware of the principles of the hammer of justice, was more confused than anyone else at this moment.

Given my current level of control, there shouldn't be any problems.

Since the problem couldn't possibly be with me.

It's unlikely that the problem originated from the hammer itself.

That means it must be something that happened to Yusaku Kudo.

Sano immediately thought of two possibilities.

Chapter 516, 519, Kudo Yusaku: If you lose face, you'll lose your wife too?

First, Yusaku Kudo is too weak.

However, last time it was just a test, so it didn't really show up.

Second, Yusaku Kudo went astray while abroad.

He's no longer the good person he used to be; he's become a super villain.

That makes much more sense.

then.

Before Sano could even confirm which one was the truth...

Conan and Heiji Hattori had already passed through the parked train.

Then I saw this scene before me.

Sano pinned down the suspected culprit with one hand.

Yukiko Kudo was lying on the ground, pinning Yusaku Kudo down.

The bespectacled man, whose wrist had been broken, screamed in agony.

Yukiko Kudo, clinging to the motionless Yusaku Kudo, continued to howl.

The whole scene is extremely impactful, highlighting one word: chaos.

Two words: chaotic; three words: extremely chaotic; four words: extremely chaotic.

Five words, utterly chaotic.

"..."

What the hell is going on?!

The high school detective duo were instantly dumbfounded.

About ten minutes later.

A coffee shop outside the station.

While Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Sano were on the phone with Kogoro Mouri and two girls, temporarily able to leave the group, they were looking at the Kudo couple in front of them.

Kudo Yusaku had "woke up" and was covering his left eye, which was swollen, bruised, and even blackened like a panda's.

He couldn't stop grinning.

This made Conan look strange for a moment, but he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, serves you right for interfering without a word at that crucial moment!"

Seeing Conan almost laughing through his tears, Hattori Heiji broke out in a cold sweat... He suddenly realized that Sano's earlier words weren't without reason; this kid really did seem to be one.

A very filial son.

Yusaku Kudo's lips twitched at the mockery. He could only cover his eyes while stubbornly saying, "I didn't notice him hiding either. And you two were nowhere to be seen. If I didn't step in, was I supposed to just watch your mother get pushed off the tracks by that guy?"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, okay?"

Conan rolled his eyes and gave a perfunctory reply.

"Fortunately, we still managed to catch that guy."

Yukiko Kudo turned to Sano and said with a smile, "Your own son is unreliable, but other people's kids are quite dependable. Although there was a little accident and a small misunderstanding, you stepped in at the crucial moment and saved the beauty. Sano, you were quite handsome this time."

"a little?"

Sano tilted his head and said seriously, "Shouldn't he be incredibly handsome, so handsome that he's unparalleled in history and unmatched in the future, making your heart flutter and making you want to divorce your husband immediately and pursue me?"

Conan: "..."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

Yusaku Kudo: "..."

Yukiko Kudo: "..."

Does this person even know what they're saying?

Especially Yukiko Kudo, who was both the person involved and the guide, had a look on her face as if she had seen a ghost—"Unprecedentedly handsome, unparalleled in history" is more like "unprecedentedly shameless" than "unprecedentedly handsome".

I have to say, your tail is practically reaching out into the solar system!

Conan, with dead fish eyes, asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you say you didn't like my mom's type? Or has your taste changed, or have you seen so many girls you like lately that your words have become too flirtatious?"

"Ok?"

Yukiko Kudo's attention was immediately diverted, and she asked curiously, "Shin-chan, what do you mean by that? Does Sano like a lot of girls?"

"It's not that many."

Sano took a sip of his iced coffee: "And rather than saying I like it, I'd prefer to call it appreciation, otherwise it would be too cliché."

"Oh."

Conan twitched the corner of his mouth, seemingly unconcerned to refute.

Yukiko Kudo, however, was not interested in this; she was only concerned with the people Sano admired.

then.

Yukiko Kudo first received an answer from Ran Mouri.

Although Sano never showed his feelings for Ran Mouri so obviously, and rarely mentioned it, compared to the other characters, he was very restrained, to the point that it could be described as just a joke.

But this doesn't stop Conan from being on guard.

"Xiao Lan's words are quite normal, after all, that child is indeed very good."

The Kudo couple, however, showed no concern whatsoever about their future daughter-in-law being poached. They were immediately followed by several other answers: "Ran's mother," "Inspector Megure's wife," and "Heiji's mother."

The Kudo couple were completely dumbfounded.

Why are they all married women?!

What's wrong with this child? Is it because he lacks maternal love?

Wait a moment.

Yukiko Kudo's previously frozen mind suddenly started working again.

Turning to Sano, he asked, "Sano, do you... admire Eri?"

Sano nodded calmly: "Attorney Kiyoshi is one of only two pinnacles in my heart."

"The pinnacle...only two?"

Yukiko Kudo's eyes lit up, and then she asked, "Who is the other one?"

He looked like he was pointing at himself with his finger incessantly.

It was a clear indication that Sano was about to say the word "you," which would then lead to Yukiko Kudo.

Sano blinked and replied, "...You don't know each other."

No, I don't know him?

Yukiko Kudo's expression stiffened, and she reached out to grab Sano's arm, asking with bright eyes, "So what do you think of me? When you see me, do you feel a flutter in your heart? Do you have an urge to admire me?"

"..."

Hearing Kudo Yukiko's obviously excited and hurried question.

The other four, including Sano, were all somewhat stunned for a moment.

They all stared wide-eyed.

Just like the reactions of others when Sano boasted before.

I never expected that just after Sano's situation ended, Yukiko Kudo would take the lead again.

Kudo Yusaku, in particular, had his eyes wide open.

Damn it, I was just thinking that Sano might be my son's rival in love, how did he suddenly become my rival in love in the blink of an eye?

Of course, as Yukiko Kudo's husband, Yusaku Kudo is well aware that his wife, although she sometimes appears calm and collected on the surface.

But in reality, he is extremely competitive.

This is especially true when it comes to matters related to Eri Kisaki.

It's the same principle as Conan and Ran Mouri.

Although Yusaku Kudo knew that it was highly unlikely that Sano would actually have anything going on with Yukiko Kudo.

But that didn't stop Yusaku Kudo from feeling a pang of anxiety.

...He made a long trip back, but instead of getting the cup, he got hit with a hammer and lost all face. Now, he's even worried about losing his wife.
