"Well, it's alright then. Your mom was probably talking about Eri!"
After a moment's thought, Yusaku Kudo said with a hint of nostalgia, "That was your mother's good friend. I haven't seen her in a long time."
"That would be best!" Conan pouted, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't had a chance to ask about his mother yet. "By the way, for some reason, Mom seems to know that guy, Yuzuru?"
"Oh, that's normal."
Yusaku Kudo didn't take Conan's words to heart.
He had been paying attention to his son's rival in love; the young man was indeed quite outstanding, and his background was also rather terrifying.
Given Yukiko's personality, if her chosen daughter-in-law were taken away by someone else, she would definitely go and have some fun with that person, trying to see if she could win her daughter-in-law back.
After hanging up the phone, Yusaku Kudo held his phone, staring intently at Yukiko's number, and pondered quietly for a long time before finally putting the phone away.
Since Yukiko hasn't messaged him, it means she's probably having a lot of fun right now.
In that case, he wouldn't need to worry too much.
Let's go back and surprise Yukiko after we're done with this.
Almost there, almost there! He'll be finishing the last bit of work on the novel adaptation soon!
...
Yukiko, who had been forgotten by everyone, was currently enjoying a delicious meal in Eri's apartment.
"I see now. All your excuses about keeping me company are just that!"
Eri Kisaki sat gracefully at the dining table, watching Yukiko wolfing down her food across from her, and posed a probing question.
Yukiko has almost finished eating all the precious spirit rice that Yuzuru gave her a while ago, only a few days ago.
"Ugh..."
Yukiko ignored Eri's words, swallowed the last mouthful of spirit rice porridge in her bowl, then put down the bowl and patted her high chest comfortably.
"Eri, what are you saying? If I'm not here to keep you company, what else could it be for?"
Yukiko blinked, looking completely innocent.
“Hehe…” Eri rolled her eyes at Yukiko’s pitiful look. “Then starting tomorrow, I will personally cook a big meal. We will not eat the spirit rice that Hanyu gave us anymore.”
How could she not know what kind of person Yukiko is?
Trying to outsmart her? No way!
Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately made a bitter face, then quickly got up from her seat, ran to Eri's side, grabbed her arm and started shaking it: "No, why don't you eat this delicious food! I want to eat it a few more times!"
Eri frowned and tried to pull her arm away, but found she couldn't budge it. She could only sigh helplessly and let Yukiko hug her.
She continued, "That was the last meal. Once it's gone, it's gone. I don't want to bother Yuzuru again, since this stuff looks very precious."
Eri Kisaki wasn't actually stingy; she just felt she couldn't keep having Nanami Hanyu deliver things to her.
Doesn't this make her look like she's selling her daughter?
Yukiko felt a little disappointed after hearing Eri's words, but she still asked unwillingly, "Is there really no more? I wanted to eat a few more bowls!" As she spoke, she licked her lips, savoring the delicious taste from before.
Seeing Yukiko's greedy look, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You glutton! Look how fat you've gotten!"
Yukiko pouted and retorted, "No way! Where am I fat? I have a great figure, okay?" After saying that, she deliberately puffed out her chest to show off her perfect figure.
Seeing this, Eri Kisaki shook her head helplessly. "Alright, stop fooling around and hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."
Yukiko reluctantly let go of Eri's arm and returned to her seat.
But seeing that the spirit rice porridge was gone and only Eri's culinary disaster remained on the table, Yukiko asked somewhat unhappily, "Why don't you go ask that...bad...Hayate for some? Anyway, you're his mother-in-law, what's wrong with eating a little of his food?"
Yukiko had already finished her own spirit rice, and she didn't dare to ask Hanyu Nan for more.
She was afraid that Yu Sheng Nan would bully her again.
With no other option, Yukiko had to go to her best friend's place to mooch some spirit rice.
If Eri doesn't have any more spirit rice, then wouldn't her trip have been pointless?
"Oh!" Upon hearing Yukiko's words, Eri Kisaki seemed to have heard something surprising and said with some amusement, "Didn't you come back just to steal Ran away from your precious son? Why have you given up now? Are you calling me Yuzuru's mother-in-law?"
"Waaah, Eri, don't even mention it~" Yukiko saw her chance, pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes. "There's no place for me in our family anymore. Yusaku doesn't want me anymore, and my son kicked me out of the house too!"
"I'm homeless now!"
Yukiko became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, burying her head in Eri's pride and bursting into tears.
Looking at Yukiko, whose eyes were brimming with tears in her arms, Eri Kisaki couldn't tell for a moment whether she was acting or genuine.
He could only gently stroke Yukiko's back and tentatively ask, "Then I'll go ask Yuzuru tomorrow if he still has any spirit rice?"
Yukiko remained silent and continued to cry.
"I'll call Yuzuru right now."
"Narori, hurry up and hit me! I'm going to go cry!"
Yukiko suddenly stood up from Eri's arms and, with tears streaming down her face, collapsed onto the sofa next to her.
Fei Yingli: "..."
Looking at Yukiko, who was lying on the sofa, sobbing and occasionally peeking through one eye to see if she had made a phone call.
Eri Kisaki helplessly reached out and rubbed her temples, feeling her fists itching.
...
"Okay, Aunt Yingli, I'll have Ran deliver it to you tomorrow."
In the kitchen, Yuzuru Nanami, who had just finished dinner, was on the phone while squinting and gently stroking Akemi's head.
Ran and Ai are watching TV outside, while he and Akemi are in the kitchen washing the dishes for tonight.
"It won't affect anything; I have no shortage of spirit rice here."
As Yuzuru answered Eri's question, the force in his hands gradually increased without him realizing it.
Upon hearing a familiar, barely audible voice from the other end of the phone, Yuzuru Nanami's lips curled into a slight smile. "Aunt Eri, is someone next to you?"
“Oh, a friend of mine is staying with me for a couple of days,” Eri Kisaki glanced at Yukiko, who was perched on her arm with longing eyes, before continuing politely, “It’s really kind of you, Yuzuru. How much money do you need? I’ll have Ran bring it to you.”
