Butler Shigematsu was also puzzled. He had found it strange before that Jinghua had a son, so why didn't she let him participate in her place? Now it seemed that there were other things involved.
"Uh... I didn't hear my mom say that. My dad asked me to participate in his place." Hattori Heiji looked helpless; he really didn't know about this.
During this period, he didn't dare to answer Ikeba Shizuka's calls, fearing that his mother would scold him severely.
As he explained, he couldn't help but complain to his mother in his heart: Honestly, knowing that I don't get along with He Ye right now, she still wants to find her to replace me. Can't she just find someone else?
Butler Shigematsu nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, I see! Now that everyone is here, let's not waste any more time and go inside."
He turned to the side and gestured for everyone to enter the courtyard together.
Yuzuru smiled at Conan, took Kazuha's soft little hand, and walked into the yard.
"This guy..."
Conan watched Hanyu Nan's retreating figure, his brows furrowed, and an urge to run away welled up inside him.
Every time I run into this guy, nothing good ever happens.
Now Ran has left, he has lost his home, and he owes Hattori a huge debt.
The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt, as if his life was a tragic nightmare.
Just as Conan was considering whether to take the opportunity to slip away, Hattori Heiji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Kudo, what are you daydreaming about? Since Hanyu Kusunoki dared to come, we must find his secret this time."
"good!"
A word from his best friend instantly dissuaded Conan from running away.
When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break even metal.
...
"This place is really big."
As Butler Shigematsu entered through the gate, Kazuha opened her large, curious eyes and kept looking around, with servants passing by from time to time.
“Then you should go see Sonoko’s house. After you see it, you won’t feel that this place is too big,” Yuzuru said with a smile.
The Morizono family's house is at most a castle with a relatively large area, while the Suzuki family's house is truly an estate, requiring drivers or helicopters for travel.
"Sizzle~"
"Hmm?" Butler Shigematsu, who was walking ahead, heard a strange noise coming from the trees by the roadside and looked up in confusion.
Seeing this, everyone stopped to watch.
"Thud!" A young man dressed as a servant jumped down from the tree.
"Nonsense, Sakuraba! It's incredibly rude to scare our guests like that!" Butler Shigematsu's face darkened as he strode forward and sternly reprimanded them.
Katagiri Kaede, who was standing to the side, glanced at the man and her eyes flickered slightly.
"I'm so sorry, but for some reason, the master's cat has been trying to run away since just now."
As the maid, Yuuji Sakuraba, explained, she carefully lifted up a struggling gray kitten from her arms.
The kitten is small and delicate, with a pair of big, round eyes and soft, fluffy, smooth gray fur.
Kazuha was immediately drawn to the adorable little animal. "Wow, so cute!"
She exclaimed excitedly, strode forward, and reached out to gently touch the kitten, only to have it suddenly bite Sakuraba Yuuji's hand that was holding it.
"Ah!" Yuji Sakuraba couldn't help but cry out in pain, and subconsciously let go of her hand.
As soon as the kitten landed, it shot towards Yuzuru Hanyu, who was standing quietly to the side, like an arrow released from a bow. It pawed at his trouser legs and kept meowing.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng Nan bent down slightly, picked up the kitten and held it in his arms. He gently stroked its fluffy little head with his slender fingers, and after a casual glance, he understood what was going on.
It's a little female kitten.
The kitten nestled comfortably in his arms, its eyes squinting, and it purred contentedly.
"Yuzuru, look, this kitten seems to really like you!" Kazuha said with a look of envy, as she leaned closer and couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke the cute little creature.
But just as her fingers were about to touch the kitten's soft fur, the kitten suddenly bared its teeth and let out a low warning growl, which startled Kazuha so much that she quickly pulled her hand back.
"You can't do that." Seeing this, Yu Sheng Nan smiled and gently tapped the kitten's head, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
Then, to everyone's surprise, the kitten obediently lay down, as docile as a little lamb, and stopped resisting no matter how Kazuha rubbed it.
"How amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen Rebeca so close to a stranger." Just then, a beautiful figure in a bright red dress walked out of the castle.
She crossed her arms over her chest, her gaze first falling on the kitten in Yuzuru's arms, and then she began to look Yuzuru up and down.
She was fine until she looked closely, and then she suddenly understood why the kitten was so affectionate towards the boy.
This young man's temperament and appearance are just too striking!
"Hello, my name is Morizono Yurie. May I ask your name? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Morizono Yurie walked up gracefully and extended her fair hand to Hanyu Nan, a charming smile on her face, completely ignoring Kazuha, who was gritting her teeth in anger.
How dare a young girl like her compete with a mature and charming older sister like herself?
"Heh, hello, my name is Yuzuru Nan. As for my girlfriend..." Yuzuru Nan chuckled, put down the kitten, and naturally reached out to link arms with Kazuha. "This is my beloved girlfriend."
