Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui looked around the classroom and found that Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting in the back row, had already put her history textbook on the table and was fast asleep.

Xiao Lan, sitting in the front row, stared out the window with a furrowed brow, her slender fingers repeatedly twirling a pen, and she was not paying attention to the lesson either.

Finally, when my gaze fell on Ai Haibara, I noticed that she had also followed Sonoko Suzuki's example and stood up her thick history textbook, as if she were preparing to go to bed.

What's the situation with these three people?

It's become the norm for Sonoko to sleep in class. Ran is probably troubled by the karate club, which is understandable.

But Ai Haibara was listening attentively the whole time. Did she not sleep well yesterday either?

"Warm Water, didn't you use up all your energy yesterday?" Ai Haibara couldn't help but tease after noticing Warm Water's gaze.

Because they were sitting very far back and next to each other, no one could hear what they were saying if they lowered their voices.

Wen Shui turned her body slightly to the side and lowered her voice, saying, "It's been almost twelve hours, and she's almost fully recovered."

Ai Haibara's eyes widened, her voice trembling with panic: "Y-you admit it?"

Wen Shui nodded, then said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you about this. I was wrong yesterday."

Ai Haibara bit her lip lightly, her expression complicated, and said, "Hmph, I thought you would deny it to the death, but I didn't expect that Wen Shui would also have masochistic tendencies."

"I still need to clarify this point," Wen Shui couldn't help but defend herself. "I don't have that kind of special fetish; it's just because your voice is so beautiful."

Ai Haibara stared in disbelief: "W-Do you know what you're saying?"

Wen Shui: "I'm telling the truth. Besides, didn't you say before that people who are under a lot of stress for a long time need to find ways to relieve it..."

"Shut up!!!" Ai Haibara glared at him fiercely.

Then she buried her face in her arms and leaned on the table, and found that her heart was beating very fast.

If that jerk Wen Shui had kept denying it, perhaps Ai Haibara would have forgotten about it in a few days. But Ai Haibara never expected Wen Shui to admit it so openly, and even say it was because her voice was very nice…

That bastard is a real pain in the neck.

Ai Haibara seemed to hear that low growl that made her soul tremble again.

.

Although Ai Haibara didn't speak to Wen Shui all day, Wen Shui could clearly sense that her anger had subsided.

However, judging from the fact that Ai Haibara blushed and looked away every time he made eye contact with her, it's clear that...

I imagine that incident must have had a significant impact on her.

However, Wen Shui felt that time could heal all wounds, and Ai Haibara was an adult now, so it was time for her to experience the darker side of society.

And so another uneventful day passed.

After school, Wen Shui went to the Kendo Club and wrote an application to join. He was received by the vice president of the Kendo Club.

To Wen Shui's surprise, the vice minister was exceptionally enthusiastic about his joining, and even took him on a tour of the kendo club's training grounds.

She also kept trying to get closer to him.

At first, Wenshui thought it was because his reputation as a famous detective had spread to the Teitan Kendo Club. Later, he learned that the vice-captain wanted to use Wenshui's connections to bring Suzuki Sonoko, the heiress of a zaibatsu, over as well.

It seems the tennis club really wants the same professional training equipment as the kendo club.

However, Wen Shui did not intend to influence Suzuki Sonoko's choice, nor did he intend to help her. After all, Sonoko was not related to him, and he was already embarrassed to eat her snacks all the time. There was no reason for Sonoko to invest in equipment for the kendo club for him.

In addition, Wen Shui also saw a poster of the Kendo Club at the training venue, and one of the dark-skinned boys looked somewhat familiar.

He looks a bit like Heiji Hattori.

I learned that this was a promotional poster for the Osaka Kaifuka Gakuen High School, which was planning to visit Teitan High School for observation and learning in a while.

That's why the members of the Kendo Club are training hard right now, so as not to lose face on their own turf.

In other words, he just joined the kendo club and will be sparring with Hattori Heiji in a while?

I wonder if the 999 attack power buff will be enough to take down Osaka Black Chicken. I'm starting to get a little excited.

Wenshui spent more than an hour visiting the kendo club before leaving. After leaving the Teitan Academy, he planned to go to a nearby large supermarket to buy discounted food.

Unexpectedly, the vice-captain of the kendo club and another good-looking junior kendo club member caught up with him. It seemed that they did not intend to let go of this opportunity to help the kendo club obtain sponsorship and wanted to get closer to him.

But just then, a piercing roar of an engine came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a red Mazda pulled up on the side of the road.

The car window rolled down, and Sato Miwako, with her neat short hair, appeared before us: "What a coincidence. Are you busy tonight? Come with me."

"Where?"

"Cinema."

Wen Shui guessed that Sato Miwako didn't want to reveal the details of the case, but something must have happened. He turned to the deputy minister and said, "Sorry, it looks like we won't be able to go to the supermarket today."

"It's alright," the vice-captain said. "Come to the kendo club and practice with everyone whenever you have time. You can also introduce your friends to us."

Wen Shui waved goodbye to the deputy minister through the car window.

The red Mazda sped away, kicking up dust that made the deputy minister squint.

"I didn't expect that Ms. Wenshui would like older women. Now my plan to have Shimizu-chan get closer to Ms. Wenshui is likely to fail." The vice minister looked somewhat disappointed.

A junior member of the kendo club next to her said, "But that woman is really beautiful. Her short hair makes her look even more elegant than a fashion magazine model."

"Indeed, even if she's older, I'd be tempted too," the deputy minister nodded in agreement.

At that moment, a junior member of the kendo club suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, vice-captain, doesn't your mother look very young? And she also has short hair, right?"

"That's true... um?"

The deputy minister paused for a moment before realizing the implication, then gave the young man next to him a hard flick on the forehead: "Your mother is the young one!"

Kazuki and Wenshui were unaware of the secret plan being plotted by the two members of the Kendo Club.

As soon as Wen Shui got in the car, he heard Sato Miwako say that a big star was also trapped at the crime scene, and that the entrance to the movie theater was now surrounded by fans.

Wen Shui couldn't help but ask, "Could it be Yukiko Kudo?"

Sato Miwako nodded: "That's right, it's her."

Calvin, take a day off

I'm really stuck, sorry, I'm having some writer's block. Let me organize my thoughts.

Chapter 67 Mrs. Kudo: Please tie me up with a rope!

Miwako Sato drove very fast, her red Mazda weaving and swerving through traffic.

Don't miss any opportunity to overtake.

With the help of Yumi Miyamoto, who was very familiar with the traffic conditions around Beika Town, remote guidance allowed her to choose the least congested route. Even during the evening rush hour, she arrived at the crime scene in less than 40 minutes.

A somewhat old-looking movie theater came into view.

The movie theater exuded the old-fashioned charm of its 20th-century architecture. A large crowd had gathered at the entrance, mostly fans who had come to see Yukiko Kudo after hearing she was there. However, Wen Shui also spotted several tabloid reporters with cameras in the crowd.

Sato Miwako unbuckled her seatbelt: "Thank you, Yumi. I'll treat you to ramen another day."

From the hands-free phone on the dashboard, Miyamoto Yumi's voice came through: "It's okay, I'm having dinner in the car. But you've only just arrived at the scene. After you finish the case, will you still have time to go to Ginza and meet with Mr. Kanakawa?"

Mr. Jin Chuan?

Ginza must be a bustling commercial district, right? Could it be your date? Wen Shui suddenly became curious.

Miwako Sato: "I should be able to handle it. I brought some really capable helpers with me this time."

As she spoke, she winked playfully at Wen Shui, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"You mean Mr. Wenshui?" Miyamoto Yumi suddenly switched to an ambiguous tone. "Although Mr. Wenshui is very capable, he is still young and different from the new recruits in the police station. Miwako, you shouldn't exploit him too much."

Miwako retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What exploitation? I just asked him to help me solve the case."

"I was talking about solving the case too," Miyamoto Yumi teased. "Did you think of something else, Miwako? By the way, the hotel I told you about last time offers free small gifts for recent guests."

Wen Shui pretended not to hear their conversation and looked up at the fans holding up support signs and the reporters with their cameras and microphones outside the car window.

The two women's banter was significantly more daring than that between Ran and Sonoko.

If it were Ran and Sonoko, they would at most say something like, "The boy from the next class has been staring at you." But these two went straight to the hotel, and that little gift sounded a bit suspicious.

Does it really happen that women turn from herbivores into carnivores as they get older?

Suddenly, Yukiko Kudo's face appeared in Wen Shui's mind.

That must be a rare species like a saber-toothed tiger...

Miwako Sato reached for her phone on the dashboard: "Okay, I'm hanging up now."

Just as the call was about to end, Yumi Miyamoto said rapidly, "Mr. Wenshui, you must take good care of Miwako. Although she seems very serious, she is actually just not good at expressing her emotions."

Her favorite food is soy sauce ramen. After taking a bath, she likes to stand in front of the mirror and admire her body. Her measurements are…

Miwako Sato hurriedly hung up the phone.

Then she looked at Wen Shui with a slightly threatening expression, and through the wisps of hair by her ear, you could vaguely see her delicate little ears, which were slightly red: "Don't listen to Yumi's nonsense. That's just her personality. She usually likes to tease the new recruits who have just joined the Metropolitan Police Department."

Wen Shui comforted her, "It's okay, I also stand in front of the mirror and admire my body after taking a shower."

What Wenshui said was true, but he mainly observed the changes that Director Ochiai's muscle growth technique brought to his body every day.

Sato Miwako's face showed surprise, and the image of Onami standing in front of the mirror subconsciously flashed through her mind. Those youthful, muscular muscles…

Wait a minute, would a normal person defuse an awkward situation this way?

Generally speaking, when you encounter something like this, you should either pretend you didn't hear it or go along with what she says, right?

Kazuki's unexpected choice gave Miwako Sato a completely new experience, but with the case at hand, she didn't have time to think about it: "Let's get out of the car and go inside."

The two walked together toward the movie theater doors.

Upon closer inspection, Wen Shui discovered that several uniformed police officers were blocking the entrance to the movie theater, inside the glass doors that looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

No wonder the reporters outside were so obedient, even restraining themselves from taking pictures.

Upon seeing Miwako Sato, the detectives inside immediately removed the U-shaped railing blocking the entrance. Several reporters hidden among the fans rushed to ask questions, but were completely ignored by Miwako Sato and Nukumizu.
