Chapter 590 Second Formal Family Meeting
Chi Kana chuckled, bent down closer to Haibara Ai, and said apologetically, "Ai, there's one more thing. There's a Big Secret in the Home that I should have told you about, but I thought I'd wait until you're a little older. Is that okay?"
"Big Secret?" Haibara Ai asked curiously, "Is it related to you and Brother Hichiji?"
"Uh-huh." Chi Kana nodded.
She really didn't know how to talk about Genetic Disease.
It was still a long time in the future, so she should take it slowly.
Haibara Ai didn't press further, "I also have a Big Secret that I should have told you, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet, so..."
"Then let's wait until the right time, and we can exchange secrets, how about it?" Chi Kana asked.
Haibara Ai nodded obediently, "Okay."
If they both had Big Secrets that they weren't saying for the time being, then she wouldn't feel like she was being insincere, and she would also have time to consider how to say it.
Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa stood aside.
When Kuroba Kaito brought it up, his first thought was—suitable.
Children with Parents have a sense of security in their Hearts to some extent. What Haibara Ai lacked since childhood was precisely this sense of security, and if Haibara Ai were to call someone else Mother, given Haibara Ai's personality, it would probably be difficult for her to accept.
A Godmother is different. A Godmother would not deny the existence of the Child's original Family. Just like Chi Kana said, she's just another Mother, a supplement to Family Affection.
And his Mother...
Although Chi Kana was denying it in her Heart, in reality, Chi Kana was still worried that her Only Son would die one day, afraid of losing her Child, extremely lacking in a Sense of security, and unwilling to divide her love for her Only Son, repeatedly struggling.
Becoming a Godmother to other children would be easier for Chi Kana to accept.
Both sides could make up for the incompleteness in their Hearts, both had Matters to solve, and both had overly heavy secrets in their Hearts. If everyone was the Same, they could slowly get to know each other and get along, and be mentally prepared before being honest with each other.
This was the most suitable Pace, and both of these people were unable to adapt to a Pace that was too fast.
Currently, it was enough as long as they were each other's reliance and Concern in their Hearts.
Chi Kana and Haibara Ai talked in low voices for a long time.
Conan and the others saw it from afar and didn't step forward to disturb them, leaving ahead of time.
It wasn't until almost everyone had left that the two noticed.
Chi Kana Looked around, Looked Towards Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa who had returned from the Balcony, "Did we chat for too long?"
Haibara Ai also Notice that she had chatted for too long.
It was a very strange Feeling. Apart from her Older Sister, it was the First Time she could chat with someone so Investment, not feeling tired at all, and Seemingly looking forward to telling Chi Kana even trivial Small Matters.
"It's okay." Chi Feichei Turn Around and walked Outside, "But Time is almost up, don't delay the Staff from cleaning up. You can change Place to chat."
Chi Kana: "..."
Her Own Son's Personality was hopeless.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Awkward Silence Skill.
Doctor Agasa Nod smilingly, "Let's go Home earlier too, Madam Kana..."
"Just call me Kana," Chi Kana said.
"It's a little unaccustomed." Doctor Agasa scratched his head.
Chi Kana smiled and said, "Then you'll have to get used to it as soon as possible."
The four of them went to the Parking Lot. Chi Kana asked Vincent to drive them to send Doctor Agasa and Haibara Ai Home.
Things had only just been decided tonight, and she didn't want to be too overbearing and directly snatch people away from Doctor Agasa. Moreover, it would be best to formally visit tomorrow...
On the way back in the Car, Chi Kana confirmed the Time Arrangement with Chi Feichei, "I'll Call Doctor to confirm at 9:30 tomorrow morning. We'll go over at 11:00 a.m., have Dinner together, and then leave at 3:00 p.m. How does that sound?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "I have no Problem with that, but I have to go Outside later."
His Old Mom had the Same habit as many British People, contacting to confirm before visiting, and saying in advance what Time they would arrive and what Time they would leave, so that the Master could be prepared.
"Are you still going Outside so late?" Chi Kana took out her Mobile Phone to Look at the Time, "It's almost 12 o'clock."
Chi Feichei Considered for a moment, "Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure," Chi Kana agreed without even Thinking, and teased, "You're not planning to take me to a Bar or Izakaya or something, are you?"
"I can Consider it in the future."
Chi Feichei reported the Machine Room Address to Vincent who was driving.
He didn't need to hide Sawada Hiroki's Matter from his Old Dad and Old Mom, and he couldn't hide it either. Umbrella's Plan needed his Old Dad and Old Mom to Cooperate, and he also needed a little Suggestion.
Along the way, Chi Feichei was deliberately Observing to confirm that no Car was Tracking them.
Vincent couldn't help but say, "Young Master, I'm paying attention, Don't Worry, no one is Tracking us."
"Uh-huh."
Chi Feichei responded and continued to secretly Observe.
He wasn't familiar with Vincent, so it was more reliable to Observe by Oneself.
...
Early Morning, 1:05.
Near the Machine Room in Jiangdong Ward, Vincent was asked to stay in the Original Place and wait.
Chi Feichei led Chi Kana into an Alley.
Vincent hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and continued to wait in the Car.
Young Master wouldn't let Madam encounter danger, he Seemingly was a bit Nerves.
Chi Kana felt that her Own Son was a bit Nerves.
Because Chi Feichei led her out of the Alley, turned two Street Corners, and entered another Alley, turned left and right, exited the Alley, and entered the next Alley again, all the while quietly paying attention to the Situation behind them...
Half an Hour later, they finally arrived at a two-story Commercial Office Building.
Then, checking whether the Door Lock had been touched, opening the Door, entering the Door, locking the Door, checking the Door Lock again before going to the Basement Machine Room, and checking the Adhesive Tape attached to the Door side, confirming that no one had entered, then opening the Door, entering the Door, locking the Door...
The Machine Room was brightly lit, and rows of Machines were still running.
Chi Kana Looked around. Seeing Chi Feichei fiddling with Projection, Camera and Loudspeaker and other Things, she walked to the long Table and sat down, "Can you tell Mother now? What do you want to do?"
"Wait a little longer..." Chi Feichei Adjusted the Camera and Projector Splitter, "Call your Father and ask him to go to the Computer. Let's talk about the New Consortium together."
Chi Kana Nodded, took out her Mobile Phone and made a Phone Call.
"Hello... Do you have a Computer next to you? We're going to talk about the New Consortium with Hassashi... Okay."
The Phone Call ended.
Chi Feichei Looked back, and continued to Adjust the Machine.
Such a familiar simple Call Style.
"He was just about to have Dinner, and there was a Computer next to him," Chi Kana explained, "He'll use UL Software's Video Call to talk to both of us."
"Okay, but this Family Meeting..." Chi Feichei connected the Camera and Projector Splitter, "There are four participating Members."
"Four Members?" Chi Kana was feeling Doubt when she See one of the Projections cast a beam of light, projecting a hazy Boy figure onto the Seat diagonally opposite her.
"Noah, log in to my Account, send a Video Invitation to my Father, and by the way, pay attention to the Camera Surveillance Camera Situation Outside." Chi Feichei said, continuing to Adjust several Cameras, so that Sawada Hiroki could See the Situation in the Machine Room, and then aimed another Projection at the Master Seat of the Table.
"Okay!" Sawada Hiroki responded obediently, fell silent for a moment, and another Projection lit up, projecting Chi Shinnosuke holding a Fast Food Box onto the Master Seat.
Chi Kana: "..."
There was such an operation?
Chi Feichei returned to his Seat and sat down, "The Projection Equipment is too poor."
"The Projection is very blurry," Sawada Hiroki Looked down at his Body, "I remember Thomas Said that Sindola Company once developed 3D Projection, but because the cost was too high, they gave up on releasing it halfway. We need to get Sindola Company as soon as possible. We don't need mass production, just use it to build a Conference Room."
"Hiroki? Or... Noah's Ark?" Chi Kana Looked at Sawada Hiroki's Projection, a little uncertain, "Didn't they say that you self-destructed Before? And the Machine at that Time..."
"I just withdrew from there, creating the Pretense of self-destruction. I am Hiroki..." Sawada Hiroki Observed Chi Kana from the Camera, hesitated for a moment, "Grandmother."
"Uh-huh," Chi Kana maintained a smile, "What are you planning to do? Shouldn't you explain?"
It wasn't wrong to call her that, but she still felt heartbroken.
She was already of Grandmother generation...
"Let me explain, this should be considered the Second Formal Family Meeting," Chi Feichei opened his mouth, "The First Time was to confirm the establishment of Umbrella Company and the Network Empire Blueprint Plan, initiated by my Father and hosted by my Father. This Time is initiated by me, so I will host it."
In the Machine Room where various Machines were placed, there was a long Table with six Seats.
Chi Shinnosuke was in the Master Seat in front, and Chi Feichei and Chi Kana were on the left and right hands respectively. Sawada Hiroki was next to Chi Feichei.
It didn't Look very Formal, but compared to the last Time when a Family of three chatted using a Computer, this Time had Projection and Camera, adding a bit of science fiction Feeling.
Of course, Chi Shinnosuke was still participating in front of the Computer, but being able to See his Video being Projected over, there was somewhat a Sense of intimacy of a Family sitting together.
Chi Shinnosuke Nodded, "Okay, you host."
Chi Kana smiled without saying a word, waiting for Chi Feichei to host the Meeting.
"My Mother Said that you Decided that the New Consortium would be named by me. The Name I Decided is still Umbrella," Chi Feichei continued, "Although it has not been Registered yet, today's Meeting will first discuss and Plan the Development of the New Consortium and the One Umbrella Covers the Sky Plan. In addition, there is a new Member in the Family besides Noah. This Matter will be announced by my Mother at the end."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Are the Family Meetings in Godfather's Home so Formal?
Looking... uh, he should call Grandpa and Grandma, looking at the way his Grandpa and Grandma Look, they were not surprised at all, and Looked like they were seriously Thinking and Nodding in satisfaction. It was Guess that the last Family Meeting was also like this...
"Let me formally introduce you, my Godson, Sawada Hiroki," Chi Feichei Looked Towards the Projection beside him, "As his Godfather, I should call his Christian Name 'Noah'. You all Know about Noah's previous Situation. Next, Noah will explain his current Situation."
Sawada Hiroki suddenly felt a little nervous, but Seeing Chi Feichei and Chi Shinnosuke who were calm throughout the whole process, he still followed suit and continued the tradition. He paused for a moment, and began to explain the Situation in a calm Tone.
Putting aside those professional terms, simply put, 'Noah' and 'Ark' can be separated, and at the Same Time, they are also closely connected individuals.
Noah is a Network Lifeform formed by the Fusion of Sawada Hiroki's Soul and Procedure, with emotions and desires, and with previous Memory and Thought.
Actually, it was just Sawada Hiroki changing his Method of Survival.
Ark is the Artificial Intelligence that Sawada Hiroki previously named Noah's Ark, similar to Koizumi Akako's Crystal Ball, just a Gadget.
Ark's Growth of one year is equivalent to Human Growth of five years, but it is only the learning Ability, computing Ability, and problem-solving Ability that are growing. It does not have Human emotions, and can only show corresponding Emotions based on the set calculation results.
It was Ark who invaded the Cocoon System and controlled the Game trend Before, and it was also Ark who said goodbye to Conan. The result was set by Sawada Hiroki, and Ark was responsible for Surveillance Camera and expression.
As for Sawada Hiroki Oneself, he replaced Hideki Morohoshi, who played a lonely Game, and followed Conan and his Group throughout the whole process, and by the way, remotely controlled Ark to help Conan increase the difficulty.

Chi Kana chuckled, bent down closer to Haibara Ai, and said apologetically, "Ai, there's one more thing. There's a Big Secret in the Home that I should have told you about, but I thought I'd wait until you're a little older. Is that okay?"
