Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

While wiping her hands with a towel, she thought back to the past.

Ai Haibara is probably referring to the time when Ran massaged her shoulders and she accidentally stepped into a trap.

Ai Haibara should have kept quiet about it, because the mention of warm water reminded her of the time he was in pain for several days afterward, and her resentment grew even stronger: "How dare you bring that up? I thought my happy life was over."

"Is that all there is to your life?" Ai Haibara asked, her eyes wide.

Wen Shui thought for a moment: "Not entirely, but isn't the lifelong pursuit of most men money, power, and women?"

"That's a very vulgar way of putting it," Ai Haibara criticized.

Wen Shui hung the towel on the towel rack and continued, "In terms of power, I'm just a novice detective with some fame right now. As for money, forget about it. I still owe the Black Organization more than a billion. That means... you almost took away the last bit of hope in my life."

"Even more absurd and fallacious arguments, and I didn't mean to..."

Ai Haibara subconsciously switched into her usual state of discussing cases with Numizu, wanting to refute Numizu's statement.

But she suddenly realized that she was at a disadvantage if she brought up this topic.

Ai Haibara felt her cheeks burning, glared at him, and turned back to the kitchen to prepare dinner ingredients. After washing her hands with warm water, she tried to help, but Ai Haibara shooed her away to the living room to watch TV.

However, while preparing dinner, Ai Haibara suddenly thought of something.

It seems that ever since she accidentally stepped into the trap that day, that guy Wen Shui has started to make less of a cover for his peculiar fetish for beautiful girls' legs.

Is it...

He was really hurt that time, so he started to transfer his pent-up desires to other areas.

Ai Haibara suddenly felt a pang of guilt. She secretly glanced at Wen Shui, who was sitting on the living room sofa watching TV.

But there's no way to confirm this, is there?

If you ask him directly, that bastard Wen Shui will definitely seize the opportunity to make an unreasonable request.

Ai Haibara sighed inwardly. Since that's the case, she should be a little nicer to him until the outcome of that matter is revealed. Maybe this is the last chance they can spend time together.

Of course, she just didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

It wasn't because of what Wen Shui had just said that moved her, Ai Haibara thought to herself with certainty.

.

After Ai Haibara left, Nuku Shui planned to catch up on the progress of his mystery novel.

But for some reason, I just can't seem to get into the zone when I sit at my desk.

His mind would drift between images of Yukiko Kudo's bosom and the delicate touch of Ai Haibara's smooth little feet.

Damn it, women really only slow down my sword-drawing speed.

Wen Shui went to the bathroom and took a cold shower to calm herself down, then went back to the bedroom, covered herself with the blanket, and started to drift off to sleep.

Now that Vermouth is coming back, I guess we'll have to meet sooner or later. That woman in the original story was both righteous and evil, and she doesn't seem very reliable.

I feel I need to improve my combat skills as soon as possible, at least to have the ability to protect myself.

I'll go to the kendo club tomorrow. Ever since I knocked the bandaged monster away with my umbrella last time, Wen Shui probably guessed that her [Attack Power +999] attribute was probably added to her swordsmanship.

After all, it was the entry that was dropped by the Mikasa Sword Saint.

I feel that if I learn some swordsmanship skills, combined with attack power comparable to Xiaolan's, I can at least protect myself in critical moments.

Just as Wen Shui was about to fall asleep, her phone on the bedside table vibrated; it was Sonoko Suzuki calling.

Wen Shui asked groggily, "What's wrong?"

"I just got off the plane, and it's raining outside." Sonoko Suzuki's voice sounded energetic, and the airport announcement could be faintly heard.

Wen Shui didn't quite understand why he needed to call and tell him specifically since it was raining, but he still politely replied:

"Yes, don't forget to bring your umbrella."

“I’m not a child.” Sonoko Suzuki said with a wry smile, then excitedly added, “By the way, I bought a lot of local Hawaiian specialties. Let’s all eat them together at the Literature Club tomorrow.”

Wen Shui perked up a bit: "So, does that mean I don't need to bring lunch?"

"I guarantee it will last you for several days," Miss Suzuki said, patting her chest. Unfortunately, Wen Shui couldn't see it through the phone.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you again."

"It's alright, aren't we companions?" Sonoko Suzuki smiled. "By the way, how's my photography skill?"

After posting that photo, Sonoko Suzuki put down her phone and jumped into the sea to cool off. Meanwhile, Onami, preoccupied with the murder, did not reply.

This made Sonoko Suzuki very uneasy, so she made up an excuse to call and ask.

Wen Shui recalled the contents of the photo, and then thought about the local specialties that Miss Suzuki had brought back from Hawaii: "Hmm, it's quite pretty, and you seem a bit different from usual."

"Is that so? I didn't expect you to have such good taste." Sonoko Suzuki's tone suddenly became somewhat flustered.

Then she felt that this might be misunderstood, so she threatened in a fierce voice, "Don't you dare use my photo to do anything strange."

Wen Shui: "I don't need you to remind me of this. I'm not as bored as you think."

Sonoko Suzuki: "I was just worried that you might suddenly become sexually aroused before going to sleep, so I called to remind you."

"It would be strange if you called at this hour, wouldn't it?" Wen Shui couldn't help but complain.

"Damn it, delete my photos right now!" Sonoko Suzuki suddenly shouted loudly, and then Ayako Suzuki came from the other end of the phone asking her what photos.

Immediately afterwards, the call was disconnected.

Wen Shui was speechless. She was about to fall asleep, but her interruption made her more awake.

Moreover, Suzuki Sonoko's reminder led Wenshui's thoughts astray.

Ever since arriving in this world, I've been constantly shrouded in the threat of the Black Organization, and I haven't had the energy to relieve the pressure in my heart...

For some reason, Wen Shui's phone system automatically entered the photo album interface and stopped at a selfie of Sonoko Suzuki wearing a bikini swimsuit.

A young girl's slender and graceful curves can easily make one's heart race in the quiet of the night under the covers.

Her fair and soft little feet reminded Wen Shui of the enchanting moment that had just occurred on the sofa.

However, before he could even fully appreciate the warmth of the water, his phone screen suddenly went black, switching to the incoming call display.

It was Ai Haibara calling. As soon as the call connected, she said, "You don't need to bring a lunchbox tomorrow. I just prepared too much food."

Wen Shui said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"Huh, why does your voice sound so strange?" Ai Haibara asked, puzzled.

Wen Shui: "Uh, I can't sleep and I'm thinking about the case."

Ai Haibara keenly sensed Wen Shui's guilty conscience, and the quick-witted girl immediately made a guess. She asked in a trembling voice, "You...you wouldn't be doing something strange, would you?"

"I didn't! What strange thing? You're slandering me!" Wen Shui's rebuttal sounded rather weak.

Ai Haibara exclaimed, "Pervert! Disgusting!"

Wen Shui: "Stop yelling, or something serious will really happen."

However, Ai Haibara seemed to have lost her mind, repeatedly repeating those few words. But her flustered and shy tone didn't sound offensive; on the contrary, it was rather pleasant to listen to.

However, not long after, Wen Shui interrupted Ai Haibara's chanting with a low growl:

"Ai..."

Ai Haibara, on the other end of the phone, stared wide-eyed at her phone, her mind completely blank.

Chapter 65: The Shura Field Caused by Vermouth's Appearance

The next morning, Wen Shui arrived at school earlier than usual.

I want to take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people around to explain the misunderstanding that happened last night to Ai Haibara in person.

However, as soon as he arrived near the school, he saw Ai Haibara standing at the school gate with an unfriendly expression from a distance.

She was also carrying a baseball bat.

Ai Haibara was already portrayed as a cold and aloof witch, which made many students who passed by even afraid to look at her, let alone walk past her.

The warm water quickly stopped flowing.

Although what happened last night was a bit rude, it was a bit much for you to hit me with a stick like that, wasn't it?

Wen Shui looked at the student council members who were conducting a routine inspection at the school gate and found that the senior girls seemed not to have seen Haibara Ai at all, and it seemed that they tacitly approved of her behavior.

Strange, hasn't Ai Haibara always rejected ineffective social interactions? When did she become so close to the student council members?

As Wen Shui was thinking, she heard the voices of two boys from the next class talking.

"Ai Haibara seems to be in a lot of a mood today. Did someone offend her?" a boy wearing glasses said.

Another chubby otaku said, "I really don't know who's so lucky. I wish I could take that guy's place and be severely whipped by Haibara-san."

The bespectacled man said, "Your idea is dangerous. Besides, getting hit by a baseball bat that big would probably land you in the infirmary, right?"

"How dare you say that to me? Didn't you always say you wanted to be Ai Haibara's dog?"

The bespectacled man retorted, "I just want her to step on me and scold me..."

Wen Shui quietly distanced herself from the two problematic boys.

They actually enjoy being trampled on; I'm genuinely worried about their future.

Last night, after receiving "special treatment" from Haibara, Kazuki went to a secluded spot and jumped over the wall from the side into Teitan's playground.

It seems Ai Haibara is still angry, so it's best to avoid a direct confrontation with her for now.

Wen Shui picked up the schoolbag that had been thrown over the wall, dusted it off, and walked towards the distant teaching building.

He had actually discovered this route a long time ago. Many senior students from sports clubs used this method to climb over the wall when they were late. However, Wen Shui was unable to climb over the wall before because he lacked the physical strength. He only recently unlocked this route.

After passing the equipment warehouse, the playground in front of me was filled with Teitan students yawning, each of them walking heavily toward the teaching building.

Warm water was also mixed in with the crowd.

"Hey, Wen Shui-kun, you climbed over the wall even though you weren't late?" A boy from the same class saw Wen Shui coming from and grinned mischievously. "Did you bring something good again today, worried about the student council's inspection?"

Wen Shui smiled and said, "No, I just want to get some exercise."

The male classmate gave Wen Shui a strange look for a few seconds, then quickly switched to a friendly smile and flattered, "Truly worthy of being called Wen Shui-kun..."

Having been here for so long, Wen Shui's status among the Teitan students is no longer that of a background character.
