"Huh? Conan, you two know each other!"

Genta's shout attracted the other two members of the trio.

Then it started chattering away, completely oblivious to the world around it.

"Aren't these the auntie and little boy who were chatting with us earlier? You really came to see Gomera!"

"Conan, you're so cunning! You clearly know them, why didn't you say so?"

Conan's head visibly swelled up from the noise.

"I...I don't know either...They know Yoruichi-nii-san..."

So he decisively shifted the blame to Yoruichi Toyama.

The three little ones immediately turned their six eyes around, scrutinizing Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi one by one.

"Yoruichi...brother?" Mitsuhiko rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "Ah! You're the black cat detective from TV, Yoruichi Toyama?"

Black Cat Detective...

Yoruichi Toyama grimaced upon hearing this, thinking, "Who gave me such an awful nickname?"

"And what about this lady?"

"My name is Lin Mingmei, and I'm Yoruichi's partner," Mingmei said with a friendly smile as she bent down.

This attitude immediately won the favor of the three little ones, especially Ayumi.

"Sister, you're so kind, and you're dressed so beautifully! ...Oh? Little...little brother...so you're a little girl!"

Seeing Shiho, whose makeup had been ruined by crying, still holding Akemi's hand, the little girl's eyes lit up as she exclaimed.

"Seriously, I always said you must be a girl, you're so handsome! Don't make your face all dirty like they do!"

"By the way, you and Mingmei-neechan..."

"Ah, because, well..." Yoruichi Toyama hurriedly stepped in to salvage the situation, "She's my and Akemi's younger sister!"

He casually tugged at Gao Yuan, who looked completely detached, saying, "This is my mother!"

"Pfft—cough cough cough..." Gao Yuan was caught off guard and almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"Huh?" Ayumi looked at Yoruichi Toyama, then at the chubby-faced middle-aged woman, and thought that this Yoruichi must look like her father.

"But why didn't you all come together?"

"Um... my mom has always lived abroad, and she brought my sister here for a trip this time. Mingmei and I only found out about it recently!"

As Yoruichi Toyama spoke, she chuckled dryly and gave Takato a wink.

Gao Yuan could only sigh in resignation.

"What good would it do if I told you? You wouldn't be there for me anyway!"

She was speaking with a look of disdain on her mother's face.

"What?! Brother, how could you possibly have such a young mother!" Genta exclaimed, thinking he had discovered something interesting. "How old are you this year?"

“Me? I’m 24,” Yoruichi Toyama answered matter-of-factly, nudging Takato beside her with her elbow.

"Oh, hehehe, I had this child when I was 16..." Gao Yuan laughed vainly, "Little brother, you really know how to talk!"

So, why should I play along and act in this kind of family drama? ...

The puppeteer in hell was filled with questions, and even began to doubt the meaning of life.

However, when his gaze shifted to Shiho, who was still clinging to Akemi's side, he became much calmer.

At least, she has truly found her place...

"So... little friend, how old are you this year? What's your name?" Ayumi cautiously approached Shiho, who looked very small.

"Ai Haibara," Shiho answered casually. "Seven years old."

"Huh? Isn't that the same age as us?" Ayumi's eyes lit up again. "Will you come back to school?"

This problem...

Shiho couldn't help but look up, searching for her sister's gaze.

Akemi stroked her hair and smiled, "Want one? You can live with me and Yoruichi!"

Living together?! ...

A surge of heat rushed through Shiho's chest, making her nod without hesitation.

"Um!"

"That's strange!" Mitsuhiko, who loves to think, noticed another problem. "Yoruichi-nii said that you, Akemi-neechan, and Ai... Ai-chan are all siblings, but you all have different surnames!"

"Auntie...your mother just said that she and Ai-chan are mother and daughter, right?"

"Uh..." Gao Yuan, who had one of the flaws, was stunned for a moment, but found that Toyama Yoruichi was not coming to his rescue at all. Instead, she looked like she was watching a good show, so he just chuckled coldly.

“No, little brother, you misunderstood. I just said ‘coming to the movies with my child,’ not that we are mother and daughter.”

"Actually, Ai is my niece. My maiden name is Haibara."

“Oh right!” Yoruichi Toyama immediately chimed in, “Ai is my uncle’s child.”

You guys are pretty quick at recognizing relatives...

Akemi couldn't help but blink.

"Ai's mom and my mom are sisters, so she's my sister too!"

"But, Akemi-neechan, don't you and Yoruichi-nii-san also say you're siblings?"

Even though Conan knew perfectly well that these people in front of him were not related in that way, he still got involved.

They really love making a scene...

"Ah, that's because..."

"Um, um..."

Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi, who hadn't gone over the script before, were both momentarily speechless.

Shiho calmly replied, "That's because my dad and mom were first cousins ​​three generations back. My dad's grandma and my mom's grandpa were siblings."

"Huh? This is so complicated..."

"Dad's grandma... Mom's grandpa..."

The three little ones, who were taken aback, all had mosquito coil-like eyes because they were thinking about this family tree.

Shiho calmly turned around and, facing the three guys who claimed to be her relatives—oh, her older sister was her relative—she nonchalantly spread her hands.
