"Uncle foster brother!"
Hiromi Yabuuchi was clearly startled when she saw who it was, and then hurriedly pushed Yukiko in front of her, her movements somewhat flustered. "Look, this is Yukiko, the one who used to come to our house to play when we were little!"
"Haha...long time no see..." Yukiko's smile was somewhat forced, but she couldn't help but think to herself: Who is this? She didn't recognize the old man in front of her at all.
However, Yabunouchi Yoshifusa didn't recognize her either. After staring at Yukiko for a couple of seconds, he suddenly realized and laughed, "Oh~ so it's Yukiko! Oh dear, I guess I've been living in Brazil for too long, I can't remember who you are."
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Seeing that everyone was the same, Yukiko immediately felt relieved. She tilted her head slightly, putting on a very magnanimous appearance.
Yuzuru, who was watching this scene from behind, couldn't help but chuckle.
It must be admitted that Yukiko's acting skills as an award-winning actress are indeed superb. Even when she was very flustered inside, she could still appear nonchalant on the surface.
My main point is that as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yoshifusa Yabunouchi turned and left with the tall, young Black man behind him.
The two had only taken two steps when Hiromi Yabuuchi quickly walked up to Yukiko and lowered her voice, saying, "What do you think of my adoptive uncle?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yukiko was puzzled, not understanding why Hiromi Yabuuchi suddenly asked such a question.
"Does his appearance and voice seem familiar?" Hiromi Yabuchi was clearly anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose a little.
Now it was Yukiko's turn to be a little confused. "You know, I was only in elementary school when Uncle Yoshifusa went to Brazil. I've long forgotten about that time, so how could I possibly remember him!"
“I can’t remember…” Hiromi Yabuuchi shook her head, but then continued, “But I always feel that the current Uncle Yoshifusa is different from the one I remember…”
"Different?" Yukiko looked puzzled. "How are they different?"
"It's just a feeling... I can't quite put my finger on what it is..." Hiromi Yabuuchi frowned, looking quite troubled.
"Then why not let him meet your father!" Yukiko had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea. "Isn't Uncle Yoshifusa your father's younger brother?"
At that moment, Yuuko Nan patted the clever Yukiko on the shoulder from behind. When Yukiko looked over, he raised an eyebrow and said, "I think the person you mentioned is no longer here, right?"
"Huh? Really? How did you know?" Yukiko blinked in confusion. This was her hometown! How could this wicked man know more about it than she did?
Yuzuru smiled confidently and decided to cosplay as a detective.
He pointed to the paper threads that hadn't been swept clean in the corner of the yard, and the indentations on the muddy ground where many tables had been placed, and said methodically:
"Because there are obvious signs that a banquet has just been held here, it is not hard to tell from these remaining clues that a large-scale banquet was held here not long ago."
Furthermore, Guangmei specifically asked you, someone who hasn't returned in so many years, to identify Uncle Yifang. Considering these two points, there's only one most likely possibility: the older brother, who is even older than Uncle Yifang, has already passed away.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Hiromi Yabuuchi, who was still stunned, and smiled gently, "Am I right? Hiromi-neechan?"
"Huh?" Hiromi Yabuchi was shocked by Kusunoki Hanyu's reasoning when he suddenly turned around and smiled, causing her face to blush inexplicably. She quickly said, "Yes, yes, Kusunoki, you're right, that's exactly it! My dad really did just leave a few days ago!"
Even if her father hadn't actually left, he would have to leave now.
In conclusion, Yan's reasoning is sound.
How could someone as handsome as Yuzuru Hanyu be wrong!
"He calls me 'sister'!"
Hiromi Yabuuchi's heart was pounding so fast, it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
Yukiko, standing to the side, noticed her friend blushing and her eyes instantly sharpened.
Why are you blushing like a teapot?
Like a little girl possessive of her food, Yukiko suddenly jumped between the two, quickly blocking Hiromi Yabuuchi's view, and said with a smile, "See! I told you 'my little brother' is smart!"
She deliberately emphasized the words "my brother" to assert her sovereignty.
However, Hiromi Yabuuchi clearly didn't have the same level of shrewdness as Yukiko, and completely failed to grasp the deeper meaning in Yukiko's words. She simply craned her neck, trying to get another glimpse of Nanami Hanyu, while casually replying, "Yes, yes, our little brother is really smart!"
Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately pouted, muttering to herself, "What do you mean 'ours'? It's clearly mine alone, how can you say it's ours?"
The two's actions left Yuzuru Hanyu, who was behind them, somewhat impressed.
Oh! This damned charm!
He can no longer be called a heartbreaker for teenage girls or married women.
If he wanted to, he should be called a sex killer, the kind that works on all ages!
However, Yuzuru knew in his heart that no matter how much Yukiko seemed to care, he still didn't hold a place in her heart as much as she thought.
She's behaving like a playful little girl who suddenly realizes someone is trying to take away her favorite toy, which is why she's so angry and upset.
It's not over yet; we still need to work harder.
"What about your other relatives, Hiromi?" Yukiko tried to change the subject.
Hiromi Yabuuchi reluctantly withdrew her gaze, frowning as she said, "My relatives have all passed away."
"Ah!" Yukiko's mouth dropped open in shock. "I see... But your Uncle Yoshifusa must have had many friends, right?"
Hiromi Yabuchi shook her head, sighed, and replied, "Those who knew Uncle Yoshifusa all died young. It's as if they were cursed; anyone associated with Uncle Yoshifusa would suffer misfortune. Now, the only people left who met Uncle Yoshifusa even a few times are the two of us."
"Hehehehe..." Yukiko's lips twitched as she gave a few dry laughs. Was she going to die first in respect for those words?
Yuzuru was also quite surprised; he hadn't expected that besides Conan, there was also a Grim Reaper here!
Yukiko, as expected of a main character, is quite difficult to kill, having survived to this age with two Grim Reapers by her side.
"But why are you so concerned about Uncle Yifang's problem?" Yukiko asked, voicing what she had always found strange.
"Because of the inheritance!"
A middle-aged man came out of the room.
