Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Beep beep beep—Just as she turned over, intending to go back to sleep, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly sounded.

The phone she had tucked under her pillow kept vibrating, and it was clear that the person making the call was very anxious.

"Honestly, they won't even let me enjoy the last day!"

Kuroba Chikage stretched out her smooth arm and pulled her phone out from under the pillow.

She wasn't surprised at all after glancing at the caller ID.

The only person who would call at such an inopportune time is my own eldest son.

She could sense that her eldest son had gotten into some trouble this time, which was why he had come to ask for help.

Instead of answering the call immediately, Kuroba Chikage sat up in bed and stretched.

He took a few more clothes, went into the bathroom, and then slowly answered the phone.

"Hey, Kaito, what's up...?"

"Help! Mom!!!"

Before she could finish speaking, a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, came from the other end of the phone.

The excessively loud shouts made Kuroba Chikage's ears hurt, and she reflexively moved her phone a little further away.

Put the clothes in the tub and turn on the water tap.

Once she felt that her son's wailing had subsided, she put the phone back to her ear.

"Mom? Are you still there, Mom?"

"Can you talk properly now?"

He casually tossed his pajamas outside, then sat in the bathtub, his tone languid.

As a once-famous phantom thief, what kind of storms hasn't she weathered?!

Even recently, my eldest son was falsely accused of planting a bomb on a cruise ship and was even made to run naked in front of others.

She was only slightly surprised.

Now her eldest son is calling, just urging her to go back quickly.

"Let me make it clear first, I've finished taking care of things here, and I've bought my plane ticket. I can go back today."

"No! I hope you come back later! Something's come up on my end!"

"Is it just a minor issue?"

"Okay, it's a rather troublesome situation. Today I..."

Listening to Hao Da's account on the other end of the phone, Kuroba Chikage's expression grew increasingly serious.

When she learned that the Phantom Thief Kid was responsible for a murder, she completely broke down!

Being framed on a cruise ship is one thing! At least no one actually died!

But if the murder charge is proven true this time, then Kaito Kid's reputation will be tarnished for eternity!

This was the last thing she wanted to see!

The identity of Phantom Thief Kid not only represents her husband, but also the beautiful encounter and experience they had together!

"Sigh! Didn't I tell you to behave yourself during this time?!"

With a sigh, Kuroba Chikage felt utterly exhausted.

Although her husband was not actually dead, he had been hiding in the shadows to avoid suspicion.

·· Requesting flowers ····

In fact, she has always been the one taking care of this family!

I originally thought that my son had grown up and could stand on his own, so I could finally take a break!

I never expected it would cause such a huge mess!

She couldn't help but wonder if she had been too hasty. Should she have let her eldest son inherit the identity of Phantom Thief Kid so early?!

"I've been behaving myself! I haven't gone out to do anything!"

"Alright! I got it. Leave the rest to me!"

After finishing speaking, Kuroba Chikage hung up the phone immediately.

Even though her eldest son didn't say it aloud, she knew what the next plan was.

Time was of the essence, and she didn't have time to continue soaking in the bath; she got up and stepped out of the tub.

She dried herself off with a towel, not even bothering to take her clothes into the bathroom, and went straight to the bedroom, opening a suitcase.

Inside are makeup tools, or more accurately, disguise tools.

"Hopefully we can get away with this after not having any activities for so long."

……

Miwako's driving skills are still very superb!

The red Mazda sped through the streets and returned to Beika Town in just over half an hour.

"Miwako-nee, why don't you stay here tonight!"

Sonoko got off the car carrying the little boy, her gaze towards her best friend burning with passion.

More people mean more fighting power!

That way, I can relax a bit more when I play games at night!

....0....

"But I already agreed with my mom..."

Miwako hesitated for a moment; of course, she wanted to be with the person she loved.

However, considering that her mother lives alone and spends most of her time sleeping at home, she decided to give her a gift.

"It's okay! I'll take care of Auntie!"

As Luo Tian spoke, he took out his phone.

"Hello? Aunt Sato? Yes! It's me! Miwako is a little tired tonight, so... Okay, okay! I know! Of course I'll take precautions!"

With a bright smile, he won over his future mother-in-law in no time!

Upon hearing the contents of the phone call, a blush crept onto Miwako's pretty face.

Safety measures and such!

How could Mom be so blunt?!

"Oh dear! Safety measures!"

Seeing her best friend get out of the car, Sonoko also came over with a mischievous grin.

They never use these kinds of cheat items when they play games!

"You're still laughing! I won't help you tonight!"

Miwako threatened him with a fierce but cowardly look, then snatched the little boy and hugged him tightly.

"It doesn't matter! Just the fact that you're here has already been a huge help!"

Sonoko smiled and took her best friend's arm as they walked home together.

In the living room, the girls who had received Luo Tian's call in advance were still not resting.

Sitting on the sofa, waiting for my beloved and best friend to return.

They were naturally happy to see Miwako.

"Did something happen? Otherwise, why would you come back early?"

"Here's the thing! A murder happened at our party. Do you know who the killer is?"

"who is it?"

"Hmph! That's right..."

With a smug expression, Sonoko was just about to tell her best friends when someone beat her to it and gave her the answer.

The answer just happened to come from a news report on TV, and she couldn't even get angry!

[Breaking news! According to an anonymous netizen, Phantom Thief Kid is involved in a murder case today!]

[The following are photos and videos taken by personnel at the scene!]

"Ugh—why is this being reported on the news? The police were clearly planning to cover it up!"

Sonoko sat down on the sofa, fuming, very unhappy with the news that had stolen her thunder.

"Just because the police aren't saying anything doesn't mean others won't."

Miwako was clearly used to these kinds of things and wasn't surprised at all.

"Think about it, we weren't the only ones there."

Luo Tian also smiled and gave a reminder.

"You mean, it was Miss Black Sky and her group who leaked it to the reporters?"

"Who knows? Maybe they just used it as fodder for conversation on the forum, like before, and then someone else spilled the beans."

"Tsk tsk, you really have to be careful online!"

Chapter 290 A Morning at Luo Tian's House, A Plastic Best Friend Relationship (First Update)

　"Oh no! I'm going to be late!"

The next morning, a brand new day began with a gasp from the garden.

Last night, Miwako put her words into practice very well.

Throughout the game, instead of helping Sonoko, he deliberately made things worse.

This resulted in the garden receiving more output than usual.

I couldn't wake him up no matter what I did in the morning.

When she woke up, Xiaolan and the others had already started eating breakfast!

Miwako, who had a job, went to the Metropolitan Police Department even earlier.

She hurriedly grabbed her clothes and rushed into the bathroom, not even bothering to close the door.

"Xiaolan, aren't you all on holiday today? Why is the garden in such a hurry?"

Hearing the clattering footsteps upstairs, Akemi asked curiously.

With final exams just around the corner, Teitan High School thoughtfully gave its students two days off on a "4-2-3" schedule to allow them to recharge and avoid getting too tired from studying.

It was precisely because of this day off that Sonoko was able to attend a gathering of magic enthusiasts yesterday.

"I don't know. Maybe she has something else on her mind?"

Xiaolan prepared the tableware for her best friend, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

"I guess she's just sleep-deprived and forgot it's a holiday today."

Holding a cup of hot milk, Ai said confidently.

As best friends who often bicker, no one understands Sonoko's personality better than her!

And it turned out just as she said!

Half an hour later, when Sonoko finished washing up, put on her school uniform, and ran downstairs, she was stunned to learn that she didn't have to go to school today.

She stood there for a full two minutes before she reluctantly accepted the fact.

"Seriously! Doesn't this make me look like an idiot?!"

She muttered something under her breath, and amidst the amused gazes of her best friends, she staggered back upstairs.

A few minutes later, he changed into casual clothes and came down.

At the same time, she also had a little boy in her arms.

Seeing her boyfriend still lazing in bed, Sonoko felt she couldn't be the only one being foolish.
