Chapter 668 - 1171: Activating Complaining Mode

An Hour Afterwards, the candlestick on the Long Dining Table was lit with Candle, and a Vase and Bouquet were placed on it.

Chi Kana took off her Apron. The Lines of her Long Dress were simple and not cumbersome. Her Black Hair was pinned to one side behind her ear. She sat up straight, dignified and elegant.

Haibara Ai couldn't help but sit up a little straighter, glancing sideways at Chi Feichei, who was still sitting up straight on the other side, but with an Indifferent Face.

It looked pretty good, but Brother Hichiji's Face…

"Try it," Chi Kana greeted. "There will be Dessert after the Meal later."

Haibara Ai said, "I'm going to start eating," and found that Chi Hassashi wasn't very Cooperative and had already started tasting the Dish, so she simply started doing it too.

The Steak tasted very good, the Sausage was okay, Boiled Broccoli with Carrot… Ahem, this was bland, which was understandable.

Overall, it was definitely not as delicious as what Brother Feichi made, but it was no different from what she ate Outside, so it should be considered good, right?

Yes, in terms of how delicious the Cooking was, Hassashi's Cuisine > the Cuisine of general restaurants Outside > personal Cuisine of people with not-so-good Level > the Cuisine of people who are not good at Cooking like Doctor Agasa.

"How is it?" Chi Kana asked expectantly.

"It's very good." Haibara Ai Nod in Recognition, and Looked at Chi Feichei, who had an Indifferent Face and was eating with his Head lowered.

So, Brother Feichi's Taste was too High, right?

"Hassashi, how is it?" Chi Kana also Looked Towards Chi Hassashi.

Chi Hassashi Nodded, "Delicious."

"Really?" Chi Kana looked disbelieving. "You can tell Mother directly if you have any Idea."

Chi Hassashi thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing he couldn't Say, "Then I'll be direct. Boiled some kind of Vegetables in Clear Water, Fruit and Vegetable Salad, Steak or Sausage, or both, Roasted Ham Slices, Roasted Potato or Fried Potato, Roasted Onion, Roasted Tomato, always these few Things, adding and subtracting, casually combining, and you can Handle Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner…"

Haibara Ai: "…"

Brother Feichi activating Complaining Mode.

Chi Kana: "…"

Was there… a Problem?

"Sometimes Eggs or Bread are added for Breakfast, but it's always these Dish Styles over and over again. In simple terms, there's no Meal that can't be Handle with Boiled, Roasted, or Fried. If there is, then add a Salad." Chi Hassashi continued to complain in a Cold Tone, "And there are countless Potatoes, Roasted Large Potato, Roasted Small Potato, Roasted Large Potato Pieces, Roasted Small Potato Pieces, Roasted Potato Strips, Fried Large Potato, Fried Small Potato, Fried Large Potato Pieces, Fried Small Potato Pieces, Fried Potato Strips…"

"Pfft…"

Chi Kana Lower Head and laughed, and soon, Looked at Chi Hassashi with a Smilingly Face and Said, "My Son is super cute~!"

Chi Hassashi: "…"

People's Moods really aren't the Same.

Feichi lay on the Table, swallowed a Beef Pieces, and then sighed with Sympathy, and Said with Emotion, "Master, I Understand. It's Just Like when I ate Small Loach before, I completely lost the Joy."

Haibara Ai barely managed to hold back her laughter. Brother Feichi could make so many Dishes himself, and they were all delicious, so it was indeed difficult to endure eating the same few Dishes over and over again, and most of the Boiled and Roasted Things were mostly tasteless, but Understanding was Understanding, Brother Feichi complaining with an Indifferent Face…

No matter how she thought about it, she found it cute!

"Ahem," Haibara Ai silently recited in her Heart, 'Don't laugh', 'Hold it in', 'Be Serious', and tried to Say with a Calm Face, "But the Flavor is indeed okay, right?"

"Uh-huh," Chi Hassashi admitted. "The Steak is better than many restaurants Outside."

"Okay," Chi Kana Said with a Smile. "Next Time I'll learn to make other Dishes. There's no Method. I've been Cooking Like this since I was a Child, and Afterwards I wanted to make what I'm best at for you Father and Son to eat, so it turned out Like this."

Haibara Ai held back her laughter. "I can look forward to the Dessert after the Meal. I can already smell the sweet Scent."

When Chi Kana heard this, her Eyes completely Smilingly Curved again.

Haibara Ai was puzzled. "What's Wrong?"

"Mother's Snack are better than the main Meal," Chi Hassashi Said.

Chi Kana took over the conversation, "But, I'm not very good at savory Snack, and Hassashi doesn't Like too sweet Food, so he can't eat much…"

Haibara Ai was silent for a Moment. "Then there's no Method."

Chi Hassashi: "…"

There was no Method, but it was okay, complaining was complaining, but he could still eat his fill.

Chi Kana had laughed enough before starting to eat Dinner. "By the Way, Hassashi, there are a lot of Chocolate in the Refrigerator over there. You shouldn't Like to eat Chocolate either, Why did you suddenly buy so Many?"

"Did a Girl send them?" Haibara Ai also Looked Towards Chi Hassashi. "There doesn't Seem to be any Festival Recently…"

"Received Last Time on Valentine's Day," Chi Hassashi Said.

Chi Kana was a little surprised. "So Many? There are two large Bags."

"Brother Hichiji is very popular," Haibara Ai laughed. "But you indeed don't Like to eat them, Otherwise there wouldn't be so Many left…"

When the Dessert after the Meal was brought to the Table, Chi Hassashi Hand Over To Haibara Ai some Juice, and went to the Kitchen to get White Wine.

After Chi Hassashi left, Chi Kana and Haibara Ai lay on the Table, huddled together, looking at Haibara Ai's Mobile Phone, and Whispering.

Haibara Ai flipped through the Friend List of the UL Chat Software, and secretly shared the Girls she was currently chatting with with Chi Kana.

Probably Because her Godmother smiled too Gently and listened too seriously, probably Because there was too much of a 'Home' Atmosphere, she couldn't stop chatting with Chi Kana once she started, as if she could Say anything to Chi Kana.

Even talking about trivial Small Matters Seemed to bring a different Feeling.

"Miss Renki is very good…"

"What about Hongzi? Does Ai know her?"

"Hongzi?"

Chi Hassashi, holding the Liquor, heard this Sentence and Speak Out, "Magical Girl, What's Wrong with her?"

The Two People quickly sat up straight.

Chi Kana Turn Head and smiled. "Nothing, I'm asking Ai if she knows Hongzi."

"So it's Magical Girl," Haibara Ai had a Calm Face in a second, quietly put away her Mobile Phone, and explained to Chi Kana, "A long Time ago, when Brother Feichi and I were playing Online Game, I met her. We're also UL Friend. We chat a lot about Game Matters. I've met her once. She's a Girl with long Red Hair. She Looks a little Cold, but she's still a good Human. She gave me a Gift. The Time we met was a little rushed, so I didn't prepare any Gift for her in return…"

Chi Kana Receive the Wine Bottle from Chi Hassashi's Hand and poured Liquor into the Cup. "Hongzi, she will give Gifts to whoever she wants to give them to, and she Never Care About Return Gift. You don't need to Care About it either. Just give her something interesting when you find it another Day. By the Way, Ai, how is the Situation with your Confirm?"

"Because Yuka made this Matter clear, she accepted her Mother's Boyfriend," Haibara Ai's Tone slowed down a lot when she heard Chi Kana's soft and gentle Sound, "This Way the People in her Home will be Happy."

"Is that so? Then you did a very Good Deed," Chi Kana smiled, poured half a Cup of Liquor for Chi Hassashi, and her speech speed was still slow and worrying. "Hassashi, do you want to sit in your Teacher's Office for a while Tomorrow? I didn't seriously greet Mr. Mouri Last Time either. It just so happens that Ai has two Days of Holiday Tomorrow and the Day After. If we go, I'll Call Mr. Mouri Tomorrow Morning and Say hello. We'll visit in the Afternoon. We can take Ai and Conan to the Amusement Park to Play, and Go Out to eat together at Night."

Haibara Ai listened to Chi Kana while drinking Juice before Saying, "Today I heard Edogawa Say that Mr. Mouri received a Commission from a Wealthy Family named Kunitomo Family in Shizuoka Prefecture. Tomorrow, he and Sister Ran will Go Together with Uncle Mori to Shizuoka Prefecture. They won't be back until the Night of the Day After Tomorrow."

"That's really a Pity. Since Mr. Mouri has Matters to attend to, then let's not disturb him," Chi Kana recalled for a Moment. "But the Kunitomo Family in Shizuoka Prefecture… I Seem to have heard Vincent mention this Family."

"Are they very famous?" Haibara Ai asked.

"No, But Vincent Said that their Butler is very excellent," Chi Kana drank a mouthful of Liquor with a Smile. "I heard that he's a Butler who can't even stand a Tablecloth being two millimeters crooked."

Haibara Ai was a little Speechless. "Is that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?"

Chi Kana put down her Cup and explained to Haibara Ai, "Butlers Like that are generally more Serious, Careful, and Responsible. When holding a Banquet at Home, they can also lead People to prepare almost perfectly. I don't know the Details of their Family's Butler, But that Butler is Old Friend with Vincent's Father. Vincent still has Connection with him. I heard that their Driver has Germophobia, and the Maid Seemingly has Fear of Heights or Fear of Sharp Points or something…"

Haibara Ai gloated a little in her Heart. "Is that so? Then Edogawa and the others' Holiday should be very exciting."

Chi Hassashi, who was Lower Head and drinking Liquor, Speak Out, "That Family's Life will be more exciting."

Haibara Ai choked and had to admit that Chi Hassashi was spot on. "Also Correct, After All, Edogawa and Uncle Mori are both Plague God…"

Chi Kana thought of the Yashiro Father and Daughter who died as soon as they were mentioned, and didn't know whether she should join in the Complaining for a while, After All, her Son Seemed to be quite the Plague God too. "Then… what should we do Tomorrow? Ai only has two Days of Holiday. If we run too far, the Itinerary will be very rushed. If we go to the Amusement Park…"

Seeing that Chi Kana was about to enter a state of entanglement, Chi Hassashi decisively opened his mouth and suggested a Place that all Three People would be Interested in. "Whether or Not we should go to the Riding Arena to Horse Riding?"

"Okay, I haven't been Horse Riding in a long Time either," Chi Kana became Interested and Turn Head to Ask Haibara Ai, "What does Ai think?"

Haibara Ai Nodded immediately. "It's a good opportunity to go Check Mikazuki."

After the Meal, Chi Kana packed up the Dishes, and once she started chatting with Haibara Ai, she couldn't stop. She could even chat about everything from the Weather to Celebrity Gossip while watching Television.

At Night, Chi Kana held a Storybook and told Haibara Ai a bedtime Story, and then quietly Slip to Chi Hassashi's Living Room.

Chi Hassashi had just finished Washing Up and was planning to go to sleep when he found Chi Kana coming over with Liquor, so he stopped. "Mother?"

Chi Kana put down the Wine Glass and Looked up with a Smile. "Let's have two more Glasses."

Chi Hassashi didn't object and sat down on the Sofa.

"Actually, I was waiting for you to Ask me yesterday, For Example, Ask me if I secretly paid attention to you Outside of School, and I could tell you that I did. Before you went to University, I would come back every year to secretly Check you," Chi Kana poured the Liquor and Hand Over To Chi Hassashi one of the Cups after sitting down, and Said softly, "Mother knows that when you were in Third Grade of Primary School, you would Throw a Small Stone into the Water when you passed by the Riverside…"

Chi Hassashi Receive the Cup. "That was so long ago."

Chi Kana Looked up at Chi Hassashi, her Smile in her Eye was Gentle but Tan. "Yesterday I was waiting for you to Ask, and then you could Question me Why I was Just Looking, you could Blame me, you could Accuse me, you could argue with me, But you Never did…"

Chi Hassashi did not avoid Chi Kana's Line of Sight. "Arguing has no Meaning."

Chi Kana was Stunned, and took back her Line of Sight first, Lower Head to Look at the Wine Glass. "I'm sorry, every Time I see you, I Say Things that make you feel bad, But, tonight, after listening to Ai Say that Yuka accepted her Mother's Boyfriend, so their Family will be Happy, I suddenly Understood that Hassashi chose a Method that would make everyone Happy, But our Family's Situation is different, I still want to Come Over and Ask you… Are you really not feeling wronged in your Heart?"
