In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

"Of course, that's the reason she told me to give it to me. It's possible that she simply wanted it because she thought it was pretty."

"So that's it~"

Xia Ye didn't care about Mine Fujiko's motives.

After all, Lupin III is more mature than Detective Conan.

Fujiko Mine is unlike any other woman in the world of Detective Conan.

She is more complicated.

You could even call her a bitch.

Even ordinary women's thoughts are hard enough to guess.

Not to mention a woman as enigmatic as Fujiko Mine.

Of course, Xia Ye wasn't interested in her thoughts, only in her body.

After all, she is the prototype of the legendary Bayonetta and Yukiko, and is even said to have a better figure than Yukiko and Bayonetta, so Natsume naturally wanted to see for herself!

"Are Lupin and the others coming to Japan too?"

Strictly speaking, Lupin III is not a work by Aoyama.

It's just that Aoyama Gosho was a little influenced during his creation, and the two works have crossed over several times, so Lupin and his gang have also appeared in the world of Detective Conan.

Xia Ye didn't understand the underlying principles, and of course, he was too lazy to think about them.

"According to Fujiko Mine, she seems to have done something to wrong Lupin recently, so she felt guilty for a while and didn't tell Lupin about it during her trip to Japan—"

Kuroba Chikage was somewhat confused about the relationship between Mine Fujiko and Luban III.

Let's call them companions.

Fujiko Mine always manages to trick Lupin.

Let's say they have a bad relationship.

They always acted together.

In short, it's a bit like being neither close nor distant.

"Lupin will definitely come!"

Xia Ye hadn't actually watched much of Lupin III.

But from the limited impressions I have, Lupin can be described as an extreme sycophant of Fujiko Mine.

Even if Fujiko Mine doesn't inform him and secretly comes to Japan alone, Natsume feels that he will definitely come along!

"Maybe~"

Kuroba Chikage nodded.

"and then?"

Xia Ye then asked:

"With Fujiko Mine's abilities, even without Lupin, the Tokyo National Museum's security measures would be practically useless to her. So what does this have to do with me? Do you, Chikage, want to protect Japan's cultural relics by informing me, a police officer, so that I can arrest Fujiko Mine?"

"What kind of imagination do you have?!"

Kuroba Chikage rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"I need your help. Mine Fujiko has something come up and will be delayed for a few days, so I'd like to ask you, Natsume, to help me get that jade stone—"

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"It's not difficult at all, but—"

Xia Ye raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You and Kaito could easily handle something this simple, right? Besides, I'm still a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, so why are you looking for me?"

"I've been retired for many years, and my skills have become rusty. Kaito always returns what he steals, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to intervene this time, therefore—"

Kuroba Chikage smiled obsequiously, adopting a humble posture:

"I can only ask you for help!"

"Besides, your last visit to the Tokyo National Museum wasn't just a simple visit, was it? I noticed you were quite interested in those artifacts from China. Could you do me a favor this time?"

"It works, it does—"

Xia Ye's lips curled up slightly as she glanced at Kaito, who was heading to the kitchen to make coffee, a faint smile appearing on her face:

"And what about the compensation?"

How do you plan to win me over?

"..."

Kuroba Chikage knew this guy would definitely take the opportunity to make demands, but she couldn't just give herself away for such a small matter; that would be too easy for her. Of course, giving him a little benefit was still acceptable; after all, you have to feed a horse if you want it to run!

"So what do you want?"

"Money?"

Do I look like I'm really short of money?

Xia Ye is indeed short of money right now. After all, she "borrowed" 25 million US dollars from Sister Bei. Half of it was used to settle the underlings who came out of the organization with her, and the other half was used to make a charity foundation. Now she only has less than 200 million yen left, so she is relatively poor.

but--

How could someone who can make demands of Kuroba Chikage possibly ask for money?

"It seems like lunchtime is approaching—"

"Let's grab a bite to eat together and chat!"

"That's fine——"

Having a meal is no big deal. Since Kuroba Chikage has already decided to contact Natsume, she naturally won't object to such a small thing.

Moreover, she originally thought Xia Ye would ask for something even more outrageous.

However, it was just a meal.

"Kaito?"

Seeing that Kuroba Chikage agreed.

Natsume glanced at Kaito, who wasn't interested in stealing from the Tokyo National Museum and was instead fiddling with props in the corner:

"Do you want to come along?"

"..."

Kaito Kuroba really didn't want his mother to have much contact with Natsume.

After all, in his eyes, Xia Ye was a humanoid male succubus with maxed-out special attack attributes on women, and no woman could resist him!

However, since his mother had already agreed to Xia Ye's request, he couldn't ask her to take back her decision.

He should have followed at this point, but he had already made an appointment with Mr. Terai to go to the Osaka Art Museum together to gather information today.

There's a Lionheart stone there that was exhibited in Europe when he was under house arrest. It's been on display for several days and will be shipped back to Europe tomorrow afternoon. If he doesn't make a move this time, he'll have to go to Europe to verify if that thing is "Pandora".

"I have something to do in a bit..."

"Then you can go ahead and get busy."

Xia Ye patted Kaito's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile:

"Remember what you promised me!"

"Hmph, of course I remember!"

Kaito Kuroba's tone was not friendly. Perhaps he had imagined the scene of his mother being teased when she was alone with Natsume. Now, looking at Natsume's handsome smiling face, he felt that he had some ill intentions, as if he was about to do something bad!

"It's good that you remember—"

Xia Ye didn't care about Kaito's harsh tone. After all, what she was doing was really "too much" for a child. The fact that Kaito could still talk to her properly was already a sign of his emotional stability and politeness—this kid was much better at controlling his emotions than his cousin Shinichi.

"If you behave—"

"I'll get you something nice next time!"

"Then let's go first!"

"..."

Watching Xia Ye and her mother leave home.

Kaito really wanted to throw a dart at him from behind!

That bastard's tone just now was like a neighbor uncle visiting his house and coaxing a child; the implication was obvious and undisguised!

hateful!

I hope nothing bad happens today.

...

Kaito is overthinking it.

Nothing particularly enjoyable or interesting happened during the meal.

Xia Ye simply had a meal with Kuroba Chikage at Tokyo Tower and chatted about some light topics.

Kuroba Chikage discovered that she had met a Natsume who was quite different from the one in her diary. She felt relaxed and comfortable chatting with him.

No wonder so many women like this guy.

Objectively speaking—

Even with the influence of logs.

He himself is also very charismatic.

"Are you free this afternoon?"

Xia Ye put down her knife and fork and looked at Hei Yu Qianying.

"afternoon?"

"I'm free."

Kuroba Chikage picked up a napkin and wiped her lips:

"but--"

"Didn't you have something to do this afternoon?"

“Indeed, I’m going to Teitan High School in a bit—” Natsume looked at Kuroba Chikage’s light blue eyes and invited with a smile, “Teitan High School is holding a school festival these days, and I have a performance this afternoon. Chikage, would you do me the honor of watching?”

"The show you performed—"

Kuroba Chikage narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and chuckled, "I do want to see it, but the Teitan High School festival... I really miss it. I even went to join in the fun twenty years ago. The most popular performance was a stage play performed by two pretty and cute girls. Back then, the boys at Teitan High School were crazy about it. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time really flies!"

"what?"

Natsume was very surprised: "You even attended Teitan High School's school festival?"

"how?"

Kuroba Chikage's eyes had a mischievous look in them:

"I was attending Shizuwa Girls' High School at the time, which was only a short distance from Teitan High School, so it's normal for me to go and join in the fun!"

"That's indeed quite close—"

Xia Ye knew about Jinghe Girls' High School.

It was a private girls' college.

Just like Teitan High School.

It's considered one of the very good high schools in Tokyo.

Although Natsume often says that Teitan High School is full of children of officials and businessmen, Shizuwa Girls' High School is full of young ladies, and there are quite a few girls who are actually from prestigious families!

Xia Ye used to hang out there when she had nothing to do, admiring the elegant and dignified girls.

To be honest, the average quality is frighteningly high!

Just didn't expect it.

Kuroba Chikage was actually a student from that place.
