Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 249 South House
Stirring the porridge in the casserole, Yuji stared blankly at the... "girl" kneeling in front of him?
"You are Yuuji-kun. You are exactly like what Kaori said."

Yuriko Minami held her chin with her hand and heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside, so she turned around and shouted: "Kaori, come in quickly."

He raised his head and looked at the door. Kaori, wearing a red kimono, walked into the room with her head lowered and sat down next to her mother sheepishly.

"Feel sorry…"

"What?" Yuji continued to eat the porridge, staring at the spoon in confusion as he ate: "Did... Kaori make some kind of prank in the porridge?"

"No! I mean... I didn't let you eat enough before..." The girl noticed that her mother winked at her and then left the room, so she took the spoon in Yu's hand and fed him little by little.

"You said this, I don't think it matters." Yuji suddenly grabbed Kaori's hands and shook them with gratitude.

"It's better to say that Kaori has helped me a lot!"

Putting the eaten casserole on the tata rice, the girl's head was full of questions.

"You see, compared to facing your grandfather and father, I am not so embarrassed now after being brought back from starvation, right..."

Is that so...

He glanced at the door and found that Ms. Nan was not at the door. Yuji leaned his head over.

The girl also glanced shyly at the door of the room. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard the young man in front of her whisper in her ear: "Is Kaori's father in prison now..."

"Cough cough cough." Kaori covered her mouth and kept coughing. Kaori glared at Yuji and lightly hit the boy's shoulder.

"Look, Kaori's mother... is indeed too young to look good."

It’s not a two-dimensional anime. Are there really adults who look like elementary school students in reality?

The girl sighed and was about to explain that her mother was actually 40 years old when she was interrupted by Yuriko Minami at the door.

"The needle in my hand should be ready to be removed." Minami Yuriko walked up to her daughter and threatened Kaori secretly with her eyes.She took Yuuji's hand, slowly withdrew the needle from the back of the blood vessel, and pressed it with a cotton swab.

Comparing Yuji's hand with her own, Minami Yuriko laughed: "Yuji-kun's hand is about the same size as Kazuma's."

Nan Hezhen is the father of Nan Kaori and the son of Nan Masamune.Compared with Nan Yuriko, who has never appeared on the Internet, Nan Hezhen can often search for information.

That's the case, no wonder there are always rumors of Nan Hezhen dating female middle school students...

Yuji looked at the changed kimono, and looked at Kaori questioningly.

"Papa changed it for you, because the servants at home have been on vacation recently."

Standing up together with her mother, Kaori said: "Grandpa and the others are already waiting in the tea room, let's go."

Following behind the mother and daughter, Yuji walked out of the room, looking at the wooden aisle and the sliding doors on both sides, the boy puffed up his chest and walked steadily, his eyes revealed a sense of determination.

Finally...are we going to the battlefield...

.........

Looking at the two men sitting on their knees in the tea room, wearing black kimonos and looking ferocious, Yuji was still frightened.

In the middle of the tea room was a small tea table. Sitting in the main seat were Nan Zhengzong and Nan Hezhen. The three people who walked into the room sat separately.

Still holding the crutch in his hand, Minami Masamune narrowed his eyes and waited for his son beside him to make the tea and distribute it to each family member with the crutch.

Facing Minami Kazuma who was a head taller than him, Yuji nodded bloodlessly.

The samurai armor in the corner and the three famous swords on the knife holder probably indicate the identity of the Nan family.Yuji raised the tea bowl with trembling hands, and when he realized that no one was drinking tea except him, he put it down in fear.

"Xiaori, you've been living in a small country place like that. It's about time you returned to Kyoto to study."

Looking at his granddaughter quietly, Minami Masamune put his crutches on the tatami and picked up the tea bowl from the tea table.

"Father, I think there might be nothing wrong with Kaori studying in Tokyo..."

Nan Hezhen saw his daughter looking for help towards him. Just as he was about to say something to refute, Nan Zhengzong pushed back.

"The thing I regret most is letting you go to Tokyo University to study."

Glancing at his son, Minami Masamune's eyes fell on Yuji and nodded.

"Kudo-kun, you should also come to Kyoto to study."

Pointing at himself, Yuji blinked, then looked at Kaori.

Nan Masamune poured himself another cup of tea and coughed twice: "The Suzuki Foundation, the Ooka Foundation, and the Tokiwa Foundation, there are three major foundations supporting you. If you work harder, you may be able to..."

Before Nan Zhengzong finished speaking, Nan Hezhen understood what his father really meant.He hesitated for a moment, and looked at the young man who had a good relationship with his daughter equally seriously.

"But he is still too young at his current age."

"Then wait until he grows up."

"Well..." Yuji slowly raised his hand and looked at the two people talking to themselves seriously: "Maybe... maybe... maybe... what if I don't want to come to Kyoto to study?"

"I won't come back either!"

Stunned by these two words, the Nan family father and son frowned and kept looking at Kaori and the boy.

"That's for the future. You can come back after college."

Before Yuji could speak again, Minami Masamune stood up on crutches, waved to the four people in the tea room, and went back to his room.

"How about it."

Opening the door of the room, Nan Zhengzong looked at the old man sitting inside drinking tea, closed the door and sat on the ground.

"It's okay. This kid is pretty good." Nan Zhengzong took the tea bowl and took a sip: "But I want to take another look."

After the old man left, the atmosphere in the tea room obviously relaxed a lot. Minami Kazuma smiled at Yuji twice and seemed to have a good impression of this young man.

"I heard from Kaori that she draws comics because of you?"

"Ah, this..." Considering that Nanhe is really an oil painter, Yuji wanted to say something, but finally agreed.

"That's right, Kaori probably started drawing comics after seeing me draw them."

"Isn't this pretty good?" Unexpectedly, Nan Kazuma did not complain and pulled out a single volume of Edogawa III from under his tea table.

"I think it's great to do what you're interested in. Kaori's grandfather once said that if she doesn't want to learn Japanese painting, she can learn oil painting from me." Nanhe looked at the comic book with complicated eyes. The Shiba Inu in the painting.

"But I refused. I wanted her to do what she liked, so I just taught her some painting skills."

Putting down the manga in his hand, Father Nan pointed to his wife outside: "Don't worry about what the old man said, if you want to go out to play, just tell us."

Looking at the back of the departing figure, still thinking about the meaning of Minami Masamune's words, Yuji stood up and bowed, then collapsed on the ground and glared at Kaori who was snickering.

"Okay, let's go out and play." Suddenly something came to mind, and Kaori smiled slyly: "Let's go change clothes first."

Isn't it nice to change clothes?
After looking at the kimono on his body, Yuji suddenly had a bad feeling.

Shouldn't...
