Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

He thought he had reacted quickly, but it turned out that Sonoko had still seen it. But he couldn't be entirely blamed for it.

Xiaolan's shoulders are so soft and bouncy, anyone in that situation would probably want to pinch them, right? It's already quite an achievement that Wenshui was able to control his impulse and not touch Xiaolan's pectoral muscles.

Don't underestimate Ran's charm, Haki, you rascal.

The commotion drew the attention of Kogoro Mouri and Conan from the living room. Halfway there, they overheard the second half of Sonoko Suzuki's sentence.

"Ran-neechan?!" Conan ran over, his anger flaring.

"You wretched brat, how dare you lay a hand on my daughter in my own home! I won't let you get away with this!" Uncle Maoli exuded a fierce fighting spirit, like a brown bear whose territory had been invaded.

The two, who were usually unreliable, suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, causing Sonoko Suzuki, who was blocking the doorway, to instinctively take a step back.

Uncle Mori and Conan walked into Ran's room with unfriendly expressions.

It has to be said that Uncle Mori is quite terrifying when those around him are threatened, a stark contrast to his usual drunken state.

Wen Guo decisively shielded Xiao Lan in front of her.

"Huh, Wen-Wen Shui-kun?" Xiao Lan looked at Wen Shui in surprise.

Uncle Mori scrutinized the two of them with a critical look: "Ran, what did this kid do to you?"

Conan: "Ran-neechan, are you alright?"

Xiaolan looked a little embarrassed: "It's okay, I'm just packing my luggage."

But obviously, this explanation did not satisfy Conan and Kogoro Mouri.

At this moment, Wen Shui winked at Yuan Zi at the entrance, "Please, Yuan Zi, help me out!"

Sonoko Suzuki pouted and reluctantly walked over: "Okay, Uncle, I was just joking. If Nuku does anything disrespectful to Ran, I'll be the first to object."

Uncle Mori: "Really? Then what did you just say..."

"That's because this bastard said he'd help me pack, but he actually sneaked over here to help Ran." Sonoko Suzuki glared angrily at the warm water behind Ran.

Sonoko Suzuki's explanation calmed Uncle Mori's anger considerably.

"Alright, Dad, didn't you say you were going downstairs to check the car? This is a long trip, so you need to check it carefully." Ran pushed her father out of the room. Conan followed.

Wen Shui walked to the door and whispered to Sonoko, "Thanks, Uncle Mori's expression was really scary just now."

"You can't bully Ran, or I'll never forgive you," Sonoko Suzuki threatened with a serious expression.

Wen Shui looked wronged: "Am I the kind of person who would bully girls?"

"You took the opportunity to pinch Ran's shoulder just now, and you even pinched it twice." Detective Sonoko Suzuki revealed a knowing look in her eyes. She crossed her arms, and the neckline of her pajamas slipped down slightly, revealing her delicate collarbone and half of her snow-white shoulder.

Wen Shui: "That was just a subconscious reaction. You wouldn't be able to control yourself if it were you."

“Of course, Ran’s shoulders are… huh?” Sonoko Suzuki snapped out of her daze and said with a straight face, “Anyway, you should control yourself.”

"Okay, is this alright?" Wen Shui sighed and gently massaged Yuanzi's shoulder twice.

It's a bit different from Xiaolan's in terms of softness.

Perhaps it's because she plays tennis often, but the firm feel of her hands has a unique charm.

Sonoko Suzuki stared in disbelief: "W-what are you doing?"

"Huh? Aren't you implying that we shouldn't show favoritism to members of the same detective team?" Wen Shui asked, puzzled.

Sonoko Suzuki: "Awoo~"

That morning, Wen Shui and Shu's shoulders were also attacked by an unknown creature.

.

When Uncle Mori was inspecting the car, he found that the tire pressure was a bit off.

So they contacted the car rental company again to handle it.

As a result, even though they got up very early, they didn't set off until the morning, and at this rate, they probably wouldn't arrive at their hotel in Izu until noon.

However, everyone was in a pretty good mood and was not affected by this little incident.

Although this car looks very ordinary on the outside, the interior space is very spacious.

Because of what happened this morning, Wen Shui was given the front passenger seat. Conan is relatively small, so there was still plenty of room in the back seat.

After leaving the Tokyo metropolitan area, the view outside the window changed to lush green wheat fields.

In the azure sky, fluffy white clouds floated by, and bright sunlight streamed in through the car window, brightening one's mood.

"At times like this, listening to Ms. Yoko's singing is definitely the most fitting." Uncle Mori turned on the car stereo and put in the prepared CD.

Soon, Yoko Okino's soft and melodious singing voice came from the speakers.

Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously, "Uncle Mori, don't you get tired of listening to Yoko's songs every day?"

“How could I get tired of it?” Uncle Mori said, one hand on the steering wheel and the other tapping along to the music. “Of course not. Liking someone’s singing voice is like falling in love with a sea. You’ll become familiar with every wave and thus understand its depth.”

Sonoko Suzuki seemed to accept this statement, nodding in agreement: "I'm quite impressed that you can say something so philosophical, Uncle."

Uncle Mori laughed smugly, his tongue practically lolling out.

This made Wen Shui a little curious: were Sonoko and Ran switched at birth? Sonoko's personality seemed more like Uncle Mori's.

Kogoro Mouri: "Hey kid, what kind of look is that? Do you have a problem with my taste?"

Wen Shui shook her head: "I'm thinking about whether to go swimming first or sunbathing first when we go to the beach later."

Xiaolan suddenly interjected, "Of course we should eat first! I'm starving right now."

Kogoro Mori looked out at the lush green rice paddies: "The seaside, of course, we have to go out to sea by boat, drink beer and fish, that's the real enjoyment. In the evening, we can eat the fish we catch ourselves, with ice-cold beer, that would be the best!"

Conan: "But Uncle, sea fishing is difficult, isn't it? If you don't catch anything, you won't have anything to eat."

"Damn it, can't you say something auspicious for once?!" Kogoro Mouri glared at Conan through the rearview mirror.

At that moment, Sonoko Suzuki, sitting in the back row, suddenly spoke up: "This time, I'm planning to launch a 'Non-Heiress Operation'."

"A non-rich young lady operation?" the people in the car asked in unison, puzzled.

Sonoko Suzuki: "That's right. When I went on vacation before, I either went to my family's villa or a high-end hotel. I felt that it was hard to find a boy who matched my taste in those places. This time, I specially booked a regular hotel. Maybe I'll find a different kind of guy to talk to me."

While speaking, Sonoko Suzuki secretly observed the reaction of the warm water through the rearview mirror.

After noticing that Wen Shui's expression was very calm, Sonoko suddenly felt a little unhappy. She used to always complain about being careful of men who tried to pick her up, but why didn't she say a word today?

"So... that's the plan." Xiaolan gave a few bitter laughs.

Conan rolled his eyes, not having high hopes for Sonoko's plan.

"Oh, right, Wenshui-kun, don't forget to buy me and Ran gifts!" Sonoko Suzuki suddenly changed the subject.

Wen Shui: "Don't worry, I've written it down in my memo, I definitely won't forget."

"Gift?"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan pressed for details, and then Ran and Sonoko explained that Nuku had originally planned to sponsor a trip, but later changed it to buying gifts for the two of them.

"In that case, we should have a share too, right?" Uncle Mori asked.

Conan chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Brother Wen Shui wouldn't show favoritism, would he?"

Wen Shui smiled and said, "No problem. Even if you hadn't said anything, I was planning to buy a gift for Uncle and Conan anyway."

"Hehehe, this kid does have some conscience after all." Uncle Mori nodded with a smile.

Conan: "Yay!"

Sitting in the back row, Xiaolan couldn't help but complain, "Dad, why are you like this?"

"What's the big deal? He doesn't need to buy anything too expensive," Uncle Mori said, discontentedly. "Besides, your old man works hard driving too."

Conan gazed at Ran's delicate and beautiful profile.

Suddenly I felt like there was a void in my heart.

Why is this gentle and understanding childhood friend standing up for another boy?

.

Because they set off very late, Wenshui and his group arrived at the Izu Hotel after noon.

The group dragged their luggage out of the parking lot and headed towards the hotel.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Wen Shui, your suitcase is making a really loud noise. What's inside?"

Warm Water: "I asked Professor Agasa to help me prepare a few small gadgets."

"What is it?" Sonoko asked curiously as she came closer. She was wearing sandals, and her tanned bare feet looked stunning in the sunlight.

"It's a secret," Wen Shui said with a mysterious smile, "but you'll see it when you get to the beach."

"Tch, could it be a camera used to secretly take pictures of girls in swimsuits?" Sonoko Suzuki asked suspiciously.

Wen Shui: "I think you seem to have some misunderstandings about me."

As we were talking, a foreign couple came over and asked them to take some photos for them.

Wen Shui handed the luggage to Uncle Maoli and stayed behind to take photos for him.

When Wen Shui arrived at the hotel, she found Uncle Mori and Ran already sitting at the dining table in the hotel lobby, enjoying their meal.

In addition, another situation that Wen Shui did not expect was...

The person who served them the food was Amuro Tooru.

While chewing on some unknown food, Xiaolan waved to Wenshui with her mouth full, "Here, here, Wenshui, come quick! This restaurant's seafood bibimbap is super delicious."

"Why are you taking so long? It's just taking a few photos." Uncle Mori grabbed a crab leg and started munching on it.

"They're here." Wen Shui and Amuro Tooru exchanged a glance, then walked over and started eating with everyone.

After finishing their meal, none of them felt like moving around much, and since it was already afternoon, they decided to go back to their rooms to rest.

After we wake up, we'll go see the fireworks together tonight.

.

When Wen Shui woke up, it was already dusk.

After washing her face with warm water, she came out of her room and stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, where she saw Uncle Mori and Conan already waiting in the lobby.

"You're awake? Where are Ran and the others?" Kogoro Mouri asked.
