Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Here it comes, come in quickly, we are all hungry."

Shaking his head at Imagami and Shinto, who ran up to search Okiya Subaru, Mr. Yoshioka directed Conan and Haneda Hideyoshi to move the ingredients together, and then asked Subaru Okiya, who was dressed as a chef, to come in.

"I saw on my phone that they had door-to-door cooking services, so I ordered takeout."

Mr. Yoshioka closed the door after Conan came in, and patted the elementary school student's head. He couldn't control himself since he hadn't touched Shinpachi for a long time, so he rubbed it again and then put it down.

"It seems like this kid and Mr. Okiya know each other?"

"Yes."

Squinting his eyes, Okiya Subaru rolled up his sleeves, but he was guessing the reason why his brother appeared here.

[Is this person a shogi master or a familiar friend of the Haneda family? There’s no way he’s his girlfriend’s father, right? 】

"The store where I work is right next to this little boy's house, so I can see him every day."

At the door of the restaurant, Miyamoto Yumi, who came out to help, saw Haneda Hideyoshi, who was having a hard time holding the box. He put his hands on his hips and said helplessly: "Here you go again, why are you so weak during this period? You should exercise more."

"You should encourage me at least, Yumi Tan."

Haneda Hideyoshi had a bitter look on his face. Before he finished crying, he heard Mr. Yoshioka in front of him echoing: "I think this is right, Hideyoshi."

"Do you even say that, Father?!"

Although the words between each other were a bit heartbreaking, Subaru Okiya immediately noticed that these people had a good relationship.

[Sure enough, he is my girlfriend’s father, and I have already called him father. Sure enough, my brother’s life-long event is almost over...]

Under Conan's surprised gaze, Subaru Okiya showed a relieved expression, but the elementary school student immediately remembered the brotherly relationship between Haneda Hideyoshi and Akai Shuichi, and suddenly realized.

This Mr. Yoshioka is also Subaru Okiya’s stepfather! But he probably doesn't know about his mother's remarriage, so why is he smiling like this?

The unmarried couple walked into the restaurant carrying boxes of ingredients together. Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of familiar faces at the dining table. Subaru Okiya paused for a step, then looked past his mother, Mari Akai, and saw the ruthless man who was pushing his buttocks against his car on the highway. .

Why is this woman here? And wasn't she blown up to the sky by that black man? She is still alive. After taking the box of ingredients that his brother had placed on the ground, Okiya Subaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

[No, if she died so easily, she really wouldn’t be worthy of her code name of Rum. 】

Following Mr. Yoshioka's instructions and starting to cook in the kitchen, Subaru Okiya shook his head and stopped thinking about organizational issues for the time being, instead focusing on his brother's good deeds today.

The mother is also here, indicating that today is the day when the two families meet, and it seems that they are probably discussing the time to get engaged. It's normal for Zhenchun not to be here. I've never seen a boy discuss an engagement with his future father-in-law's family and take his sister with him.

As for Conan...it's not strange for him to appear anywhere, so don't worry about it.

Subaru Okiya didn't find it strange why his mother was sitting in the deputy master's seat, because Mr. Yoshioka didn't look like he had a wife. He didn't notice that his tie was loose. If his wife was at home, he would definitely Fix his collar.

Carrying the tray, he walked out of the kitchen and began to distribute the first dish of the day at the table. After Subaru bent down and explained the name and origin of the dish to everyone, he was ready to return to the kitchen to make the second dish.

"Ah, why is your tie loose? I didn't even notice it just now."

Before he turned around, he heard his mother's complaint, his whole body trembled, and he glanced at the main seat in confusion.

【what happened? ! Why is mom tying Hideyoshi’s father-in-law’s tie? 】

Walking quickly back to the kitchen, Okiya Subaru held on to the kitchen counter. He could only shake his head to stay awake because he was worried that his mask would be damaged with his hands.

It must be a coincidence, because the son's father-in-law has no wife, so he tied the tie for him, right! “Wearing a tie is nothing, feeding each other is the problem.”

After muttering a few words, he brought the fried tempura and black soy sauce oden to the table. Looking at Hideyoshi who picked up the bamboo roll with chopsticks and dipped it in yellow mustard and brought it to his girlfriend's mouth, Akai Shuichi nodded with satisfaction, but turned around. The moment he saw Mr. Yoshioka holding the cod tempura to his mother's mouth, his expression suddenly stiffened.

[Hey, hey, your expression is too obvious. You can see it even with the mask on. How shocked are you? 】

Conan, who had a pickled egg in his mouth, chewed it twice, blinked and covered his mouth and snickered.

"Really, you know I don't like to eat greasy food, so you deliberately feed me fried food, you bad guy~"

Akai Marie lightly tapped Mr. Yoshioka's chest, which was like a heavy punch hitting Akai Shuichi's heart.

Seeing that his expression management was getting more and more out of control, Conan made a cute gesture to the couple at the main seat and jumped down from his seat.

"Brother Subaru seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable. Uncle, can I take him to the bathroom?"

"Ah..." Yuji rubbed his chest and pointed outside: "There is a bathroom at the top of the stairs specifically for visitors."

"Do you actually prepare a bathroom specifically for guests?" Miyamoto Yumi covered her mouth and approached Haneda Hideyoshi and asked.

"I don't know. I used the bathroom in my room yesterday. There seems to be one in every room."

Haneda Hideyoshi noticed that Mr. Yoshioka wiped his hands and then stood up to go to the kitchen. He stood up holding on to the table in confusion.

"Father, this is you?"

"Ah!" Mr. Yoshioka chuckled: "I don't know how long the chef will be gone, so I might as well cook you a meal."

"But, I think he will definitely come over quickly..."

"Idiot!" Akai Marie focused all her attention on her son at this time: "Your father doesn't want someone who has just used the toilet to cook for us, and he can't even tell this."

She is obviously very smart when she is alone outside, but she looks stupid in front of her family. This is why Akai Marie is most worried about her second son. Sometimes she even has the illusion that this son is weaker than her daughter.

Regarding her reprimand, neither Amami Yuki nor Miyamoto Yumi expressed their opinions, but just watched quietly.

"Okay, let us boys cook a delicious meal for you girls. It's been a long time since I showed off my skills."

Mr. Yoshioka rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Haneda Hideyoshi's arm: "Hideyoshi, come and help me."

"it is good!"

There were no men in the restaurant, leaving only three women. When he thought that he was currently sitting alone with Haneda Hideyoshi's biological mother and stepsister, Miyamoto Yumi's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to beat violently, and her whole body Sweat started to form on my head.

There was silence in the restaurant for a while. Realizing that he could not give this woman a bad impression, Miyamoto Yumi still plucked up the courage and opened her mouth to find a topic.

"Well, the sun is really round tonight, hahaha..."

【ah! ! ! What am I talking about! ! ! 】

Miyamoto Yumi can’t get back up again.
