I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 506 Little Orchid's Gratitude (2 Updates)
When Shiraishi E and Conan pushed open the door to the hospital room, Jodie was leaning against the headboard, chatting and laughing with Ran and Sonoko.

Seeing the two return safely, Xiaolan immediately stood up, her eyes filled with joy: "You're finally back! Has everything been handled by the police?"

"Yes, it's been resolved!" Conan nodded and said.

"I'm exhausted." Shiraishi E plopped down in a chair, leaning most of her body against Sonoko, and said, "I just escaped a mudslide, and then I was dragged up the mountain to identify something... Ugh, I didn't even get a chance to catch my breath."

Sonoko pinched his cheek with a grin, feigning displeasure: "Hey, you saved us and now you're trying to take credit?"

Xiaolan chuckled, "However, Hui really deserves a lot of credit this time!"

"That's true!" Sonoko nodded in agreement and said, "Alright then! Tonight, I'll treat you to a big meal!!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Shiraishi E accepted Sonoko's invitation without hesitation.

Ran then said, "By the way, Ei, Conan, the doctor said that Ms. Jodie's injury needs to be observed overnight. I think we should rest here tonight and go back to Tokyo tomorrow!"

Neither Emi Shiraishi nor Conan had any objections to this.

--------

After dinner, the group took a walk in the town.

Along the way, Ran and Sonoko unexpectedly discovered a maid cafe. After a quick discussion, they said, "We'll go in and have a look around. You two can go back to the hotel first!"

"Okay~~ Let's go back to the hotel first." Conan said wearily. He had been busy all day and really wanted to get some sleep.

"See you tomorrow." After waving goodbye to Ran and Sonoko, Shiraishi E returned to the hotel with Conan.

However, while he was taking a bath, he suddenly received a text message from Sonoko: [Emi, come to our room. To repay your life-saving grace, we're planning to give you a good massage!]

The photo was accompanied by two pictures of girls dressed as maids.

What else is there to say?

He certainly wouldn't refuse the beautiful woman's kind invitation.

But before that, we need to get rid of that annoying light bulb.

----------

Conan gulped down his juice, then suddenly felt his eyelids grow heavy: "Strange...why am I so sleepy..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Shiraishi E put away the empty cup and nodded with satisfaction: "Kid, you should go to bed early."

He cleaned the cup, erased the evidence, and then quietly left.

Knocking on Ran and Sonoko's door, the sight before her made Shiraishi E gasp for breath—

Under the warm light, the two girls had changed into black and white maid outfits.

Xiaolan's skirt only reached mid-thigh, and her white lace headband gave her a touch of allure amidst her innocence.

Sonoko boldly untied the bow at her neckline, revealing her delicate collarbone.

"M-Master..." Xiaolan blushed and curtsied, "Welcome home!"

This scene completely stunned Shiraishi E.

He couldn't help but ask Sonoko, who was standing next to him, "How did you convince Ran to do this?"

"Hehe, don't worry about this! I have my own way of handling things!" Sonoko smiled smugly, then pushed Shiraishi E to sit on the edge of the bed: "I specially went to town to buy this today! Lie down!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Shiraishi E readily lay down, immediately feeling four soft hands on her back.

Xiaolan's fingertips, calloused from practicing karate, gently massaged his tense shoulder blades with just the right amount of force.

Sonoko focused on taking care of his waist, occasionally rubbing it in warm circles with her palms.

"Hmm..." Shiraishi E let out a comfortable groan: "Not bad, your technique is progressing quite fast." "It's just... I learned little by little by watching movies." Ran's voice was barely audible, still shy.

Sonoko readily admitted, "How about that? We both learned pretty well, right? It's a pity that those movies didn't involve much hands-on work; they just started by doing manual labor, without any skills... We didn't learn anything."

An hour later, it was Shiraishi E's turn to take the lead.

“Now it’s my turn.” He pushed the two girls down onto the bed, and amidst their gasps, he moved his hands simultaneously—his left thumb pressed on Xiaolan’s Yongquan acupoint on the sole of her foot, and his right index finger traced across Yuanzi’s Chengshan acupoint on her calf.

"Oh! Wait... there..." Sonoko's back went limp instantly.

Ran bit her lip, her toes curling up: "Shiraishi-kun... this... this is different from a regular massage..."

“Of course it’s different.” Shiraishi E grinned mischievously and increased the pressure. “This is a traditional Chinese meridian massage, which can relieve muscle lactic acid buildup…”

As he moved, the room gradually became filled only with the sound of disordered breathing.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting three overlapping shadows on the floor.

--------------

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Conan rubbed his throbbing temples and groggily opened his eyes.

"Strange... how did I fall asleep last night?"

He tried hard to recall what happened last night—he only remembered drinking a glass of juice, and then… he remembered nothing else.

He looked suspiciously at Shiraishi E on the other bed, who was fast asleep wrapped in a blanket, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Hey, Shiraishi, wake up!" Conan jumped out of bed and gave him a hard shove.

Shiraishi E lazily rolled over and mumbled, "Mmm... just five more minutes..."

"It's already past ten o'clock! If we don't get up soon, the hotel breakfast will be over!"

Shiraishi E then slowly sat up, stretched, and said with a satisfied look, "Ah... I slept so well."

After changing their clothes, the two knocked on Ran and Sonoko's door, but it was quiet inside and there was no response.

"Are they still sleeping?" Conan was a little surprised, as Ran usually has a very regular schedule.

Shiraishi E shrugged: "Maybe I was too tired yesterday. Let's go have breakfast first!"

Conan nodded, thinking that it must be because too many things had happened yesterday that they were so tired.

----------

In the hotel restaurant, Conan and Shiraishi E were already halfway through their meal when Ran and Sonoko finally arrived.

The two walked in a strange way, especially Xiaolan, whose movements were much stiffer than usual, and she even hissed softly when she sat down.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Conan asked with concern.

Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed: "Um... um, I ran a little too fast yesterday, and I strained my muscles a bit."

Sonoko chimed in, exaggerating, "What could I do? Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was a mudslide. How could I sleep well? I woke up several times during the night, right, Ran? E?"

Shiraishi E calmly took a sip of coffee and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah... I even dreamt that the two of you were screaming for help."

Sonoko chuckled and teased, "Ran must have been shouting louder than me!"

Just as the two were having a lively conversation, Conan noticed that Ran wasn't participating; she was just eating silently with her head down, not saying a word.

He thought: Xiaolan must be starving, after what happened yesterday.

After dinner, everyone packed their bags and left the hotel. After meeting up with Judy at the hospital, they returned to Tokyo together.
