At that moment, the argument downstairs grew increasingly fierce, and the group hurried down to watch the show.
Then they saw Fujieda Suhua arguing at the entrance with a woman who looked rather young.
The other woman had delicate features and an adorable appearance.
She wore black trousers, a dark red sweater underneath, and a light brown trench coat over it. Her long, coffee-colored curls were tied high into a ponytail with a hair tie, while the curls on her forehead formed a tiny swirl. Around her neck was a crystal cross joined to a black choker, and her whole body radiated a youthful, lively energy.
Fujino recognized her at a glance from the little swirl and his memories of the illusion in the Cocoon game.
She was Conan's mother, Yukiko Kudo.
PS: Yukiko Kudo (image)
Conan World truly was a magical place. The women connected to the protagonist practically never seemed to age!
Yukiko Kudo should have been thirty-seven by now...
And you were telling him this was someone who had a child and was nearing forty?
At that moment, Yukiko Kudo had both hands planted on her slender waist as she loudly argued with Fujieda Suhua. "Mistress? I have no interest in some disgusting old man like that!"
"I think you're just making excuses. You must be interested in his money!"
"Didn't I say you've got the wrong person?"
While the argument raged on, Eri Kisaki came downstairs first. The moment she saw the supposed mistress, she froze and cried out in surprise:
"Yukiko?!"
"Eri?!"
Mo... Mom?!
Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki stared wide-eyed at each other, both looking rather stunned after seeing someone familiar.
Conan's pupils shrank. The sunflower seeds pinched between his fingers fell straight to the floor before he could put them into his mouth.
