Meanwhile, as Conan routinely vents his frustrations and tries to cheer himself up, Yuzuru Hanyu returns to Beika from Ekoda.

"Po~"

"You seem to have gotten a bit bigger?"

Yuzuru got out of the car, caught Bobo which flew over to greet him, and stroked its fluffy wings.

When I first saw Bobo, it was about 50cm long, and now it's almost 60cm long.

Sure enough, the spirit rice is better for nourishing Bobo than tree fruits.

"You'll be evolving soon, then I won't be able to call you Pidgey anymore, I'll have to call you Pidgey Bird."

Yu Sheng Nan carried Bobo into the villa, but changed his mind after only two steps.

"Let's call him Pidgey, Pidgey Bird doesn't sound very good."

"Bobo~"

Bobo snuggled affectionately against Yuzuru's chest with its chubby body, indicating that it would follow its master's arrangements.

Its little brother, White Dove, was standing timidly at the door like a lackey, watching his usually fierce and powerful boss actually acting cute and coquettish.

"Young Master Yuzuru, you're back! Did you have fun?"

Akemi came out of the kitchen and smiled as she accepted the souvenirs that Yuzuru had brought back from Izu.

"It's not bad. The scenery in Izu is quite nice. We can go there together again next time."

Yuzuru was quite satisfied with his trip to Izu.

Although Xiaolan's meticulously planned scheme ended in failure, the impromptu plan he prepared was a great success.

Hearing the sound, Ai, who came downstairs, narrowed her icy blue eyes slightly after seeing the faint smile on Yuzuru's lips.

She, Ai Haibara, has seen through everything!

Something must have happened during their trip to Izu that they were unaware of.

However, before she could even ask, Yu Sheng Nan had already put down Bobo and was walking towards her with a smile.

"Ai, have you missed me?"

Yuzuru picked up Ai in his arms and sat her down on the sofa.

Ai struggled symbolically for a couple of moments to prove she was being forced, then obediently found a comfortable spot to curl up in his arms.

"Hmph, it's only been three days, who would miss you?"

"I miss Yuzuru Hanyu!"

The little maid couldn't wait to raise her hand and slap her sister's face hard.

Ai: "..."

This woman is unacceptable.

"You can't say that. To borrow Yuanzi's words, a day apart feels like three autumns. Three days have passed now, and it feels like nine three-autumn periods have passed."

As Yuu Nan spoke, he buried his head in Ai's fair neck and took a deep breath.

The familiar smell instantly filled my nostrils.

Yes, that's the taste.

The milky scent that's unique to this age is just so pleasant and refreshing.

"Heh, according to your calculation, if we don't see each other all day when we're at school, wouldn't that mean we've been apart for two and a half years?"

Ai shook her neck irritably, feeling a little itchy from the stimulation.

"Huh? Doesn't that mean I haven't seen Master Yuzuru for 27 years?"

Suddenly, Mingmei, who was listening in, interjected with a wronged expression, her little mouth pouting.

Yuzuru: "..."

Ai: "..."

One sentence silenced both of them.

Ai looked up at Yuzuru Hanyu and gestured with her eyes: This is your clever little maid.

Yu Sheng Nan shrugged: Don't say that. At least your sister is pretty good at math.

Ai twitched her lips: I didn't realize.

The two performed a silent mime act, while Akemi was counting on her fingers, carefully calculating how many days it usually took her to see Yuzuru.

His serious expression made people want to smile.

“One three autumns is three years, one day without seeing someone is two and a half years, and Master Yuzuru has to attend classes five days a week. Three times five equals fifteen, so that's fifteen three autumns, or forty-five years. Then subtract fifteen half-year periods…”

Mingmei was shocked when she calculated it.

This is equivalent to not seeing Yuzuru Hanyu for 37.5 years every week.

“Um, Akemi, the ‘three autumns’ here refers to nine months, not three years.”

Yuzuru couldn't stand it anymore; if they kept calculating like this, his adorable little maid would cry.

"Huh? Is it nine months? Shouldn't three autumns be three years?"

Mingmei froze, her fingers still twitching, and blinked her clear, large eyes.

"Sister, the 'three autumns' in Yuzuru's words should refer to early autumn, mid-autumn, and summer-autumn; representing summer, autumn, and winter, which is nine months."

Ai couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to remind her silly older sister.

"Oh, I see!"

Mingmei nodded in sudden realization, and then started counting on her fingers again.

"If one three-autumn period is nine months, then fifteen three-autumn periods would be one hundred and thirty-five months. A year has twelve months, which equals..."

Seeing her older sister start calculating seriously again, Ai completely questioned the meaning of life.

Are you sure your parents didn't switch babies when they were in the hospital?

She now suspects that her sister and Sonoko are her biological children.

It was their family that ruined the life of a chaebol that my sister should have had!

Yuzuru's smile was almost impossible to suppress. In order not to upset the little maid, he could only bury his head in Ai's chest and secretly let himself laugh.

"well!"

Ai sighed helplessly and reached out her little hand to ruffle Hanyu Nan's black hair.

"Sister, five days is not fifteen three-autumn days, it's five three-autumn days!"

When Akemi heard Ai's words, her fingers paused, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Then, she suddenly realized something, her eyes lighting up. "That's right! Five days is five three-autumn days, and five three-autumn days is forty-five months. Forty-five months equals three years and nine months, and subtracting five and a half autumn days makes it three years, one month, and fifteen days!"

Mingmei spoke excitedly, as if she had solved an extremely complex problem.

Ai shook her head speechlessly as she looked at her sister's expression.

She really didn't know how to evaluate her sister's arithmetic ability and way of thinking.

Yuzuru kept his head buried in Ai's chest, his body trembling slightly as he tried to suppress his laughter.

"Sister, please stop calculating." Ai gently nudged Yuzuru to get up, then looked at Akemi and said, "There's no point in calculating it."

Akemi, however, disagreed. She blinked and said seriously, "How is it meaningless? I can find out how long it's been since I last saw Yuzuru-sama."

After saying that, she smiled brightly and looked at Yuzuru Hanyu.

Feeling the gaze upon him, Yuu Nan finally looked up and saw the maid's gentle smile, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

He said with doting affection:

"No need to calculate it that way. Your young master will always be with his most obedient and sensible little maid."

Upon hearing this, Mingmei's smile became even brighter.
