Chapter 78: Maybe you'll see a little Ran when you come back

"Ha, haha, no, it's all your fault for pranking me; I thought you were bad guys, so I deliberately shouted wrong to let Akaso-brother save me."

Conan tries hard to explain, and Kudo Yusaku finally breathes a sigh of relief.

So it was a misunderstanding; he thought Conan was actually someone else's son...

He quickly helps cover up Conan's identity.

"So it's Akaso-san, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Edogawa Yūshū, Conan's father, please take care of me. This is my wife, Edogawa Fumiyo. During this time, Conan has been well taken care of by Akaso-san."

Edogawa Yūshū... Edogawa Fumiyo...

Akaso Kaze suppresses his laughter.

Truly two inexplicable parents.

"Ah, yes, yes, Akaso-brother, they are my parents, it was all a misunderstanding just now."

Conan starts acting cute again.

"Oh, so it was a misunderstanding; I thought you were kidnapped. In that case, I've disturbed your... family reunion."

Akaso Kaze pretends to suddenly realize, and casually flicks the suction cup arrow on Conan's forehead again.

It's so fun.

Conan quickly pulls off the thing on his forehead.

"It's okay, you were worried about Conan after all!"

Kudo Yukiko says quickly, then turns to look at Conan.

"Conan, it's all because you were naughty that everyone misunderstood; why don't you apologize to everyone quickly?!"

Ah?

I'm naughty?

Am I as naughty as the two of you?

Conan is on the verge of tears.

He can only bow to Akaso Kaze very reluctantly, "Sorry, Akaso-san, I'm very sorry!"

Akaso Kaze ruffles Conan's little head with satisfaction and says with a smile: "Since that's the case, Mr. Edogawa, Mrs. Edogawa, we won't disturb your family reunion and will take our leave."

Kudo Yukiko blinks her beautiful eyes and tries to keep them: "Won't Akaso-san stay a little longer? It's still early."

"No, we won't disturb you."

Akaso Kaze looks at his watch.

He and Natsue still have things to do; it's less than three hours until dinner, and time is too tight.

"I don't want to go to America with you!"

After sending Akaso Kaze away, Conan the brat leans on the sofa arrogantly, refusing Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko's suggestion.

"I'll handle my own affairs, don't interfere."

Kudo Yukiko looks worried: "But, Shin-chan, your situation is very worrying; think about it, if we were really members of the Black Organization, you would probably be..."

Kudo Yusaku looks at Conan's expression and ponders for a while.

Then he says: "Forget it, forget it, let him be. Shinichi must have a reason for not being able to leave Japan."

"Uh..." Conan thinks of Ran, his face turning red.

Then he thinks of Akaso Kaze, who he has to admit is especially handsome.

His conviction is strengthened.

If I really went abroad, maybe I'd see a little Ran when I came back.

Conan coughs twice, then turns to look at his dad, changing the subject: "Dad, Mom, I want to ask, that Akaso Kaze, do you have any strange feelings about him?"
