Hearing Conan hang up the phone, Yusaku Kudo smiled helplessly.
He had indeed been too busy lately, and it wasn't until noon that he suddenly realized Yukiko hadn't come back.
At first, he was a little worried about Yukiko's safety, but with his keen observation, he quickly discovered that Yukiko's clothes and suitcase were missing from the room.
And with his excellent reasoning ability, he quickly guessed that Yukiko had run away from home because she was angry with him.
Afterwards, he asked a friend to check Yukiko's recent flight records, and sure enough, Yukiko had returned to Japan alone.
"well!"
Yusaku Kudo let out a long, helpless sigh. He was truly at a loss with his wife's childish temper, and could only shake his head slightly and sigh again.
He understood that Yukiko wasn't deliberately being temperamental; she just wanted more care and companionship.
It wasn't that he didn't want to send Yukiko a message to explain or comfort her, but he was currently at a crucial moment and simply couldn't find the time to go back with her.
It seems I can only wait until this busy period is over before I go back and apologize to Yukiko in person.
"Knock knock knock." A series of crisp knocks came from the door.
"Mr. Kudo, everyone is waiting for you."
A voice urging them to hurry came from outside the door.
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
Kudo Yusaku quickly composed himself, straightened his posture, tidied his clothes, and then pushed open the door and went out.
He firmly believes that his novel adaptation will become a global sensation.
He too could surpass his predecessors and become a world-renowned writer.
...
"You're back! Did you have fun?"
Yuzuru, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard the door open, poked his head out, and greeted Akemi and Ai with a smile.
"Reply... Young Master Yuzuru, why did you cook yourself?"
Akemi was holding her phone, excitedly wanting to share the day's fun with Yuzuru, but when she saw Yuzuru cooking in the kitchen, she was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.
Ai, who entered right after, was equally surprised. She ran over and took a closer look.
Xiao Ai was wondering to herself, "Is this food even edible?"
She was really worried.
"Hehe, it's been a while since I've made this, so I'm giving it a try to keep my skills sharp. This is the last dish. Just a quick stir and it'll be done. You guys go and get ready to taste my cooking."
Yuzuru said cheerfully, and after arranging the two, he continued working.
He just suddenly had a whim and really wanted to cook.
Since Mingmei came, he has been living a life of ease, and his skills from the past ten years or so have almost been abandoned.
Seeing that Yuzuru Nan had indeed done a decent job, and that the aroma of the food was wafting out, Akemi reluctantly led Ai to clean up, preparing for a delicious meal later.
"Young Master Yuzuru is so diligent; it's me, his maid, who's not doing a good job."
Seeing her sister's guilty expression, Ai couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
She really couldn't understand why her sister would make such a comment about Yuzuru.
Is Yuzuru Hanyu diligent?
How come she didn't notice?
I spend all my time at home lying on the sofa, holding her and playing games.
Does that count as being diligent?
Ai muttered to herself, but didn't say it aloud.
...
"Dinner's ready!"
With a shout, Yuzuru Hanyu carried the last dish out of the kitchen.
Three people, five dishes and one soup, just the right amount, filling the table perfectly.
"Wow, it smells so good! Yuzuru Hanyu is amazing!"
Akemi eagerly moved closer, took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling with admiration, and said with a look of pure bliss.
Ai couldn't help but nod in agreement; the enticing aroma of the food made her mouth water.
It has to be said that Yuzuru Hanyu's cooking skills are truly outstanding; she misjudged him this time.
"Haha, your young master here used to cook for over ten years!" Yu Shengnan proudly boasted.
"Let's get started!"
The two were eager to try Yuzuru's cooking.
"Delicious, delicious..."
"Ai, try this..."
As Mingmei ate, she mumbled indistinctly, her eyes narrowing into slits with happiness.
She didn't forget to serve food to Xiao Ai, who was sitting a little further away and couldn't reach the dishes.
Although Ai didn't speak, her mouth never stopped, and she ate until it was bulging, like a cute little hamster.
Seeing how happily the two were eating, Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction.
For chefs, the constant movement of chopsticks by diners is the greatest affirmation of their culinary skills.
"Did you have fun today?" Yuzuru asked casually, placing a piece of food on Ai's plate with a smile.
"Yeah, I was so happy! You didn't see it, Yuzuru-sama, but Ai was so cool! Her line 'Gundam is here!' was absolutely awesome!" Akemi excitedly told Yuzuru about the scene while swallowing the food in her mouth.
As they talked, Akemi put down her chopsticks and imitated Ai Haibara controlling a Gundam.
Ai, who was eating, lowered her head silently, her face slightly flushed.
Of course she knew she looked handsome back then, but if her older sister praised her like that, she would get shy.
Hanyu Nan only felt a slight regret that he had never personally piloted a Gundam.
However, if he had to make the choice again, he would definitely still choose to stay home and wait for Yukiko to come to him.
"It's really great. We can ask the family if they're selling it later." Yu Sheng Nan nodded with a smile after carefully looking at the scenery of the castle treasures shared by Ming Mei.
The scenery here is indeed beautiful. If we buy it, we can use it as a place for occasional family outings.
"Yes, I think so too."
Akemi nodded repeatedly; in her heart, Yuzuru Hanyu's decision was definitely the right one.
"What did the police say in the end?" Yuzuru asked.
Upon hearing this, Akemi exclaimed in surprise, "The Sonoko family is amazing! After the police arrived, they asked for my and Ai's names and then let us do whatever we wanted."
"According to Professor Agasa, the police explained to them that the Gundam was an experimental robot invented by a research institute under the Suzuki Foundation, which has not yet been sold. They also made them sign a confidentiality agreement, prohibiting them from talking about what happened."
Ai nodded in agreement as she listened to her sister's words.
She really hadn't realized that Yuanzi, who often came to her house to play and whose personality was always carefree and energetic, actually possessed such great energy.
You really never see this side of Sonoko.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
