Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

The two looked at each other.

Wen Shui: "It seems the truth about the treasure in this castle isn't as simple as we thought."

Ai Haibara shone her flashlight on the carvings and analyzed, "Judging from the aging of the marks on these stones, it must have been many years ago. Also, there are obviously large gaps left at the back, but the words weren't carved out..."

Ai Haibara's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that you've encountered a situation where you can't continue carving?"

Wen Shui noticed that she moved slightly closer to him, so he said, "If you're scared, you can hold my hand."

"Hmph, don't treat me like a child." Ai Haibara's expression was icy.

After walking along the passageway for a while, the light from the watch-shaped flashlight suddenly dimmed, probably because the battery was low and it switched to emergency mode.

A soft little hand slipped into the warm water.

Wen Shui looked at Haibara Ai with a puzzled expression.

Ai Haibara's cheeks flushed slightly: "It's too dark here, so we need to use the flashlight sparingly. Let's hold hands so we don't get separated."

Wen Shui chuckled inwardly, but said nothing more, and continued walking forward while holding Haibara Ai's soft little hand.

Her hands were so soft, so delicate, like works of art, that you didn't dare to hold them too tightly; the smooth skin felt warm to the touch.

The warm sweat on her palms and the stiffness she showed each time the two noticed an unidentified object appearing in their field of vision indicated that Ai Haibara was extremely nervous at the moment.

Wen Shui: "Are you worried that Ayumi and the others might be in danger?"

Ai Haibara nodded gently: "Yes, those guys are usually quite mischievous, but they are actually kind-hearted children."

"Don't worry, they and the doctor will be fine," Wen Shui reassured her.

Ai Haibara nodded slightly, but it seemed that this level of comfort was probably not very effective.

"By the way, do you like children?" Wen Shui tried to change the subject to make her less nervous.

To everyone's surprise, Ai Haibara trembled and stared at him with wide eyes: "W-what do you want to do?"

Wen Shui looked speechless: "Even if I wanted to do something, I couldn't, right, with you like this?"

"So, you actually still have feelings for him?" Ai Haibara released Wen Shui's hand and looked at him warily.

Wen Shui panicked and explained, "Really, no, I absolutely didn't think of anything lewd after your body shrank."

Ai Haibara breathed a slight sigh of relief, then suddenly seemed to remember something: "Did you have any improper thoughts about me before my body shrank?"

"I thought about it for a moment."

"Pervert." Ai Haibara looked at him with cold, disdainful eyes.

Wen Shui cried out in protest: "How is that perverted? Most people would be tempted to think about it, let alone you who always throws yourself into my arms and keeps giving me 'perks' and stuff. I'm really in a difficult position."

"Who, who jumped into your arms?!"

Ai Haibara, like an angry little lion, clutched the hem of her clothes with her two small hands, but in her mind, the memory of when she was still the larger Sherry and was being held by Usagi-chan by Numi was surfacing.

A tingling, electric sensation ran through the young Usagi-chan.

The two remained silent for a moment, then walked along the passageway, the atmosphere suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

To ease the tension, Wen Shui changed the subject: "By the way, what if we deal with the Black Organization..."

Upon hearing the name of the Black Organization, Ai Haibara's spirits lifted, and she listened intently to what Wen Shui was about to say.

Wen Shui continued, "What name do you think would be good for the child?"

"Waaah!"

Ai Haibara jumped back suddenly, then hit her head on the wall, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

Wen Shui quickly stepped forward to support her shoulder, only to have two scratches land on her face from the angry kitten.

half an hour.

By the light of the phone, Wen Shui could see Ai Haibara leaning against the wall, panting heavily, her eyes filled with obvious wariness and unease.

Wen Shui rubbed her cheeks and complained, "Honestly, why are you getting angry for no reason? I was just asking casually."

"Who would suddenly ask such a question? It's easy for girls to misunderstand, you know?" Ai Haibara's expression was displeased, but she seemed to have returned to normal.

At least they won't be holding onto the warm water and yelling sweet nothings like "You're a pervert, you can't!" anymore.

"Imagining a wonderful future can reduce anxiety, what's wrong with that?" Wen Shui shrugged.

Ai Haibara didn't say anything, but turned and walked forward.

Wen Shui didn't mind and continued the previous topic: "By the way, what do you think if I had a daughter, I would name her Jia Shu? It sounds like she'd be a well-behaved and gentle girl."

“What does your daughter have to do with me? I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”

Ai Haibara walked forward with her hands behind her back, but her mind was a little confused.

Is it Jia Shu?

"Warm Water Tree" does sound like a nice name, and it should be easier to discipline a daughter, so...

Wait a minute, what does his daughter have to do with me?

After Ai Haibara found herself seeing a scene in her mind of taking a little girl with brown hair for a walk in front of the apartment, she felt her cheeks burning and quickened her pace to run forward.

Wen Shui pressed on: "But a girl might be a little lonely, how about we raise a son instead?"

"Shut up! Don't talk to me about this kind of thing." Ai Haibara retorted without turning her head, but she seemed less anxious.

Just then, Wen Shui suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.

Wen Shui suddenly ran a few steps, grabbed Haibara Ai, and the two hid in a side room next to the passageway.

Ai Haibara was shocked.

"No, no, I really can't have a baby right now, please calm down..."

"Shh, don't talk, someone's coming!" Wen Shui put her hand to her lips.

Chapter 144 A Last-Minute Rescue: Hugging Ai and Sonoko Simultaneously

In the passageway of this underground chamber, there is a niche at intervals, next to which is a device for placing torches.

Warm Water and Ai Haibara huddled together in the alcove, listening to the approaching footsteps from afar.

Although Ai Haibara's body has shrunk, the alcove was already quite small, so the two of them inevitably had physical contact when squeezed together.

Her delicate, porcelain-doll-like body pressed tightly against the broad chest of the warm water.

A pleasant milky scent wafted from her, and the rapid pounding of her heart, transmitted through the back of her hand, allowed Wen Shui to sense Ai Haibara's panic at that moment.

It was also because of the warm water that Ai Haibara's heartbeat was accidentally detected.

She was both ashamed and angry, and started talking nonsense.

Helpless, Wen Shui couldn't help but tap her head: "What are you thinking about? Didn't you hear the footsteps in the distance?"

Ai Haibara stopped struggling, looked at the warm water with her big, watery eyes, and calmed herself down to listen to the footsteps in the distance.

Sure enough, very light footsteps gradually approached, so faint that they would go unnoticed unless one listened carefully.

Ai Haibara breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she knew that she had misunderstood Wen Shui, Ai Haibara still couldn't help but punch Wen Shui with her little fist.

The footsteps were so far away, couldn't they have just said it clearly?

Doesn't this guy know that in this dark and secluded passage, he keeps saying strange things and suddenly pins someone against the wall, which could easily scare them?

"Why did you hit me?" Wen Shui asked, looking puzzled.

Ai Haibara made up a random excuse: "You hurt me."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was too nervous just now." Wen Shui said apologetically, then rubbed her soft shoulders a couple of times.

Ai Haibara looked exasperated.

She felt like this guy had taken advantage of her again, but the footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer, so she had no choice but to hold back and not make a sound.

However, because the two were very close, the beam of Ai Haibara's watch-shaped flashlight shone on the wall, creating a soft halo in the small space.

Ai's long, slender eyelashes shimmered with a soft light.

Her rosy cheeks and glistening cherry lips, so close to mine, seemed even sweeter and more delicious than usual.

After Ai Haibara calmed down, Wen Shui noticed that the flashlight in her hand was still on, and reached out to grab her wrist: "Turn off the flashlight, or someone will see it."

Ai Haibara's body trembled slightly.

Like a startled kitten, but this time she chose to trust Wen Shui and let him hold her arm.

pat.

The watch-shaped flashlight was switched off, and the surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness.

For some reason, Ai Haibara found herself even more nervous than before.

Of course, she wasn't worried about the approaching footsteps in the distance.

With warm water here, Ai Haibara naturally has no worries about her safety.

However, after the surrounding space fell into darkness, the scorching breath from Wen Shui's breath was even stronger than before, and the large hand on her shoulder also continuously transmitted the scorching heat into her body.

Ai Haibara felt as if her body was being heated by a furnace, and her blood was burning.

Damn it, this is the time to investigate a missing person case!

Despite her reluctance, Ai's body obediently continued to radiate heat, which made her feel even more ashamed and indignant.

So he secretly made up his mind that once this matter was resolved, he would definitely find a way to put Wen Shui into this state of being severely controlled as well.

It would be best to tie him to the chair with a rope.

On the other hand, Wen Shui didn't notice Ai Haibara's unusual state.

He just felt that the kitten in his arms was a little warm, and guessed that it was because the space was too small, so he didn't think much of it.

Wen Shui listened carefully to the approaching footsteps, and the more she listened, the more something seemed off.

The footsteps were so light that they sounded almost like Ai Haibara's footsteps.

Could it be Conan, or one of the kids from the Detective Boys? Wen Shui wondered to herself.
