Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

Fearing he wouldn't make it in time, Luo Tian immediately activated the backup plan.

Let's ask Little Lily from school to help out for a while!

So that Ayumi wouldn't be sitting alone when most of the parents have arrived.

"Reserving a seat?"

Tilting her head, Kobayashi Sumiko considered herself to have seen a lot of things after being a teacher for several years.

This is the first time I've ever heard of having to reserve a seat at a parent-teacher meeting!

Are you close to Ayumi's parents?

Looking at her new colleague, she asked curiously.

"Well... I'm not very familiar with Ayumi's mother, but I'm very familiar with the person who attends the parent-teacher conference..."

"What does it mean?"

The slightly tongue-twisting words made Kobayashi Sumiko pause for a moment.

Why does it sound like the parents attending the parent-teacher meeting aren't Ayumi's parents?

"Actually, it's like this..."

I glanced into the classroom and confirmed that Ayumi was still chatting and laughing with her classmates.

Sayuri then leaned close to Kobayashi Sumiko's ear and told her the inside story.

Anyway, there's nothing to hide.

"I see!"

After hearing this explanation, Kobayashi Sumiko was almost in tears.

As her homeroom teacher, she knew, of course, that Ayumi came from a single-parent family.

But I didn't expect that they wouldn't even have time to come to the parent-teacher meeting.

I need to find an older brother I know to help me!

It seems like this older brother is very close to Ayumi!

……

"Ayumi, hasn't your mother arrived yet?"

In the classroom, parents and students were chatting in small groups.

Surrounding Ayumi were three mischievous kids from the Junior Detective League.

Although now after school, Ayumi spends less time getting into trouble with them.

She mostly played with Fumino and Akiko.

But they were good friends when they were in school.

"No! The one who came to the parent-teacher meeting today is the older brother!"

Ayumi answered her friends' questions with a smile.

She was initially a little disappointed because her mother couldn't come.

They've now fully recovered!

·· Requesting flowers ····

"Big brother?"

Upon hearing the request for a form of address, Conan subconsciously frowned.

He had never heard that Ayumi had an older brother.

Could it be some other relative?

"Ayumi, so you have an older brother!"

Genta blurted out something out of the ordinary.

"Could we invite him out to play with us next time?"

"The big brother is the one who came to the library to save us last time!"

Seeing that her friends didn't understand, Ayumi explained again.

"It turns out it's him!"

"Last time I went home, my mom told me to thank that older brother!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko quickly remembered what had happened last time.

.... ..0

He was being chased in the library and then blocked at the entrance by a group of bad guys.

This incident left them with considerable psychological trauma.

During that period, I would have nightmares and wet the bed every night!

Conan even showed a look of despair.

If possible, he would never want to see Luo Tian.

Who knows if I'll get scammed again!

"No! With Uncle Mori here today, everything should be fine!"

On second thought, Conan relaxed again.

He glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who was chatting with several middle-aged women, and his expression froze again.

Too shameful!

Those people are all married!

Aren't they afraid of their husbands coming to their door?

"I should have asked Heiji for help!"

When it comes to parent-teacher conferences, Conan, like most people, thinks of finding older parents.

But he only realized what was happening after hearing Ayumi's words.

There's absolutely no need for that!

"Ah! Big brother is here!"

Just then, Ayumi saw Luo Tian appear at the classroom door.

He immediately ran over with his short legs.

"Ayumi, wait for us!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko followed closely behind.

They also wanted to formally thank Luo Tian!

Only Conan subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to minimize his presence.

If it weren't for the fact that primary school parent-teacher meetings require both students and parents to be present.

He ran away long ago!

Chapter 500 will corrupt children!

Elementary school parent-teacher meetings naturally don't have as many problems.

The homeroom teacher then briefly described the students' recent situation.

He then went over the upcoming holiday schedule, school activities, and other arrangements.

Finally, it was time for the usual Q&A session.

Other parents wanted to ask about their children's recent academic progress and performance at school.

Luo Tian doesn't need to do that.

Ayumi's usual performance is already good enough!

We'll talk about the rest when Ayumi's mom has time!

We should give mothers a chance to shine, shouldn't we?

And so, amidst the envious gazes of the other kids, Luo Tian was the first to carry Ayumi out of the classroom.

"Dad, I want to too..."

"No! You don't want to!"

"Mom, can I go out and play first?"

"You've caused so much trouble at school and you still want to go out and play on 'July 20th'? Apologize to each and every one of you later!"

"Brother, why aren't you as handsome as that older brother?"

"Sweetie, go back and ask your dad!"

The classroom suddenly became noisy, and Kobayashi Sumiko also glanced at Luo Tian curiously.

She wondered what kind of person Ayumi's brother would be.

I never expected him to be so handsome, and also so... irresponsible?

We should at least ask about Ayumi's situation, right?

She had already prepared her speech in her head!

……

"Big brother, is it alright for us to come out so early?"

Looking at her classmates who were still in the classroom, Ayumi asked curiously.

"It's okay, getting home earlier means I can play games earlier."

Luo Tian flicked her delicate little nose and said with a smile.

Ayumi's mother had to work overtime today, and originally wanted her daughter to go home by herself.

Anyway, I'm here to help attend the parent-teacher conference.

Luo Tian decided to simply take Xiao Bumei home!

"What about Fumino and Akiko-neechan?"

"Okay! Let's go take a look!"

Although Fumino and Ayumi are both first-year students, they are no longer in the same class.

Gu Jingzi was a few years older than the two of them, even in different grades.

Holding the little girl, Luo Tian quickly found Class A of the first grade.

That is, the classroom where Fumino is.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Mrs. Ninety-Nine who came to the parent-teacher meeting today.

It was the great magician, Yasushi Kudo.

He was standing in front of the podium, performing magic tricks for a group of children.

Fumino, standing to the side, proudly held her little head high, looking quite pleased with herself.

Children, to varying degrees, like to compare themselves to others.

And parents are their biggest source of comparison.

After today, Fumino will surely become a prominent figure in the class, and even the whole school.

Every time I go out, I receive a lot of envious glances.

"Fumino's dad is amazing!"

While perched on Luo Tian's shoulder, Ayumi also witnessed this scene.

Growing up in a single-parent family, she only had her mother by her side from a young age.

More than the surprises brought by magic, what she envied most was that other people had a father.
