Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Both short-haired girls looked at the girl with the high ponytail next to them at the same time, with a worried expression on their faces.

Eriko Se gave a gentle smile: "It's okay. Even though I left the karate club, I still have a good relationship with my seniors."

The two nodded with smiles, but their expressions looked somewhat unnatural.

Eriko Sei, as the best first-year student in the karate club, is seen by everyone as a potential successor to Ran Mouri as the captain, and is also an important member of Teitan's team that has achieved good results in this karate tournament.

The news of her sudden decision to leave the karate club.

This will naturally generate considerable discussion among Teitan students.

Some say Eriko Se was ostracized by her seniors, others say she was heartbroken, and there are even rumors that she was assaulted by the karate club's advisor.

However, the boy who spread the rumor was hung on the gate of the karate club by the advisor the next day.

The protagonist of the incident, Eriko Se, seemed unaffected by the rumors and attended classes normally every day.

However, Eriko never told anyone why she suddenly quit the karate club.

She didn't even tell Eriko's two short-haired friends from junior high. But the two vaguely guessed that Eriko's withdrawal from the karate club was likely related to Mori, the senior in the karate club.

The cotton candy was ready quickly, and perhaps because the customer was a pretty girl, the owner gave her a particularly generous portion.

When the short-haired girl held it in her hand, she found that it was a whole size bigger than her face.

Just as the group was about to head towards their agreed meeting place, the short-haired girl who had ordered the strawberry flavor suddenly pointed across the street: "Hey, that should be Senior Mori, right? And the one next to her looks like Senior Wenshui."

The three of them looked across the street together.

Then they discovered Ran Mouri, Kazuki Onami, and a dignified mature woman looking at a television set displayed in the window of an electronics store by the roadside.

Strawberry-haired girl: "That must be Mori-senpai's mother, right? They look so alike."

"Wow, he's already meeting the parents? Looks like Senior Wen Shui is quite resourceful." Papaya Girl was full of admiration.

Eriko looked across the street with a complicated expression.

Ran Mouri's genuinely happy smile made her heart beat a little faster.

Back when Eriko was in the karate club, whenever she encountered difficulties or hit a bottleneck, her senior, Mori, would encourage her with that smile and help her overcome the challenges.

Eriko Segawa pushes her body to its limits and strives to improve her grades because she doesn't want to disappoint her senior, Mori.

Eriko thought that Mori-senpai's angelic, warm smile could pull her out of hell.

Unexpectedly...

The girl with short strawberry hair next to Eriko noticed that Eriko's expression was a bit off and suggested, "Eriko, why don't we go over and say hello?"

"No need, it's not good to disturb their date, let's go." Eriko took her companion's hand and turned to leave.

"Hey... wait for me!" The papaya girl caught up with him, then asked curiously, "By the way, Eriko, do those special-flavored cotton candies you mentioned really help us get rid of our worries?"

"Of course, I've had it several times. It's not just about forgetting your troubles, but about feeling like you can glimpse the ultimate truth of the world."

"It's so powerful, could it be... something illegal?" Another short-haired girl asked worriedly.

Eriko shook her head: "Of course not, it's just a special kind of candy. I've heard that many police officers who are under a lot of pressure from investigating the Slit-Mouthed Woman also use this method to relieve stress."

"I see..."

The three girls, hand in hand, exchanged different flavors of cotton candy and soon merged into the dense crowd.

Heading towards the Kabukicho in Shinjuku.

.

At the entrance of a large shopping mall, Wen Shui and Shu said goodbye to Xiao Lanfei and Eri.

Just as Wen Shui had expected, he indeed wouldn't be able to have the tomato stewed beef as a snack today.

The reason is that Eri happens to be free today, and Ran wants to go shopping with her mother and then enjoy a cozy dinner.

Eri Kisaki did invite Nukumizu to join her, but Nukumizu politely declined.

Wen Shuiping had heard Xiao Lan complain more than once that Eri Kisaki was too busy with work, and she also had to take care of the family and cook for her father, so she could hardly see Eri Kisaki more than a few times a month.

At times like these, it's best to give them more time alone.

Wen Shui's sensible behavior, coupled with his discovery of one of Uncle Mori's rare shining moments, softened Eri's attitude considerably, naturally earning her high praise from Ran.

As soon as Wen Shui boarded the tram, he received a text message from Xiao Lan: "Wen Shui, your performance just now really impressed me. You looked quite handsome today."

Wen Shui: "Huh? Wasn't I handsome before? During PE class, the girls from the next class would look at me with greedy eyes."

Xiaolan: "They were betting on you... Anyway, thank you so much for what happened earlier!"

Wen Shui: "Don't be so polite. Aren't we detectives together?"

Xiaolan: "That's true, but I still want to thank you. Please give me a chance."

Wen Shui thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make beef stew with tomatoes."

"Huh, is this all you dream of, Wen Shui-kun? You seem a bit different from usual." Ran seemed to have broken the ice because of Eri's attitude, and you could feel her excitement and joy from her words.

Wen Shui thought to herself that it was because she hadn't eaten much since morning.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Then you can keep making me tomato stewed beef until I don't want to eat it anymore."

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan suddenly stopped replying.

Wen Shui then realized that her post could also be interpreted as "Please make me tomato stewed beef for the rest of my life."

Does this guy think I'm confessing my feelings to her?

Wen Shui pictured Xiao Lan standing next to the escalator in the mall, holding her phone with a flushed face.

However, considering that Ran is with Eri, she might also have a mother-in-law who exudes a cold and aloof aura by her side.

Wen Shui quickly added, "What I mean is... about four or five meals should be enough."

Xiaolan replied almost instantly, and even sent several messages in a row:

"Sorry, I was trying on clothes just now."

Okay, no problem!

I'll make sure you're well-fed!

That's all for now..."

Xiaolan even posted a cute dolphin swimming emoji at the end, which fully illustrates her inner panic at that moment.

Wen Shui couldn't help but facepalm. "You could at least wait a few more seconds before replying." But he didn't want to further upset Xiao Lan's fragile nerves, so he put his phone away.

Then I closed my eyes and entered the system interface to check the results of this case.

Although none of the skills, including the [Mori Elimination Method], were improved.

To Wen Shui's surprise, he drew a skill that looked ordinary but was actually very useful.

[Basic Disguise Techniques]

Note: Disguise investigation is one of the essential skills for detectives.

P.S.: This can be used by other people.

Wen Shui was surprised to draw a skill attribute from Kudo Yukiko on their first meeting. Although it was a basic one, it should be enough for most situations.

Moreover, unlike the abilities acquired before, this time it is particularly emphasized that they can be used on others.

In other words, Wenshui can now not only disguise himself as a yakuza member to gather information at the Kabukicho in Shinjuku, but also dress up his sexy wife as an innocent high school student to make life less monotonous.

Although the latter method is not of much use to her for the time being.

But Wen Shui felt that once he was completely free from the control of the Black Organization and lived a happy life with the person he loved, this entry would definitely elevate his life experience to a whole new level.

.

After parting ways with Ran, Wenshui didn't go straight home, but instead went for a stroll around Shinjuku.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to be gained.

As evening approached, Wen Shui took the tram back to her low-rent apartment.

As soon as I opened the door, a delicious aroma of meat wafted out.

Wen Shui was overjoyed. Could it be that Xiao Lan wanted to give him a surprise to thank him?

He looked down and saw a pair of small, dark brown leather shoes on the floor of the entryway. Their small, exquisite size made them look like accessories made for a toy doll.

A very pleasant fragrance wafted from the little leather shoes, stimulating the warm water's nasal cavity.

It smells like Ai Haibara.

Wen Shui immediately realized that this guy had barged in without saying hello again, really treating himself like an outsider.

Warm Water tiptoed across the hallway floor, trying to scare Ai Haibara.

However, when he arrived in the living room, he found Ai Haibara asleep on the sofa.

Beef was simmering on the stove in the kitchen, and there were plenty of chopped vegetables and prepared sauces on the cutting board. It looked like the owner would be able to enjoy a hot meal soon after returning home.

Wen Shui walked to the sofa and looked down at Ai Haibara. An apron she had taken off lay on the coffee table.

Ai Haibara was very quiet when she was asleep. Her breathing was very light, and her long, thin eyelashes were bathed in the sunset, displaying a charming color.

Although it's a holiday today, Ai Haibara is still wearing her JK uniform.

The girls at Teitan High School have a habit of wearing their uniforms out even on their days off; Ran and Sonoko often do this.

In addition, Wen Shui has also seen some "suspicious professionals" who are not students use this trick to inflate their value.

However, Nuwa discovered that Ai Haibara made her choices far more frequently than others.

He guessed that perhaps it was because of her previous life experiences that Ai Haibara cherished this hard-won time on campus, or perhaps she simply found it troublesome.

To Wen Shui's surprise, Ai Haibara wasn't wearing stockings or bubble socks today; instead, she was bare-legged.

Her long, slender, and fair legs shimmered in the sunlight streaming in from the window. Her curled-up sleeping position caused her pleated skirt to slip down above her knees, exposing more of her plump and delicate thighs to the air.

Warm water looked towards the end of the sofa.

Ai Haibara's fair and soft bare feet were casually placed on the sofa, her neatly trimmed plain nails radiating a dazzling brilliance, like the most exquisite gemstones in the world.

A faint, soft fragrance emanated from her fair, sun-drenched feet.

"Even if someone were to peep, they wouldn't choose to stare at someone else's feet, would they?" Ai Haibara's somewhat languid voice came from behind.
