Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Ran moved her phone screen slightly towards Sonoko, since Sonoko was sitting in a window seat on the plane with a wall on the other side, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.

After reading the message sent by Yukiko Kudo.

Sonoko Suzuki smiled brightly: "I knew Aunt Kudo would have no problem. She loves to have fun, how could she miss something like this?"

"That's true, but isn't this a bit unfair to Wen Shui-jun?" Xiao Lan asked with some concern.

Sonoko Suzuki gently patted Ran's thigh:

"It's okay. At worst, after the match, we can take a picture together, each of us in our sweaty tennis outfits with warm water on our sides. That kid will be thrilled."

"Who...who wants to take a picture with him?" Xiaolan retorted, blushing. "Besides, your choice of words just now was so strange, was it an idiom?"

"Are you drenched in sweat?"

Sonoko Suzuki blinked and nodded gently. "It was Nuku who said it. I overheard him chatting with boys from other classes."

Xiaolan immediately recalled the time she spent at the hot spring inn.

On the way back with Wen Shui on her back, her breathing seemed to be faster than usual. At the time, Xiao Lan thought it was because she was too heavy, and she didn't eat many snacks for a week afterward.

Looking back now...

Is that guy Wen Shui enjoying the scent on her body?

Xiaolan thought about it more and more and it seemed possible. Then she suddenly felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks began to get hot and red.

"What's wrong, Ran?" Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously.

Xiaolan: "N-nothing. By the way, let's work out our teamwork for the game first, just in case we lose."

“If you lose, you can just cry on his shoulder, isn’t that how it’s always portrayed in the movies?” Sonoko Suzuki said seriously.

Xiaolan: "..."

.

Although Ran and Sonoko were speaking very softly, Conan still managed to overhear a few words.

Sonoko and Ran often secretly chat about private topics, a practice that started a few years ago when Sonoko began looking for handsome men.

However, since Yukiko Kudo's name was mentioned this time, it was clearly unrelated to gossip or dating topics.

I have no idea what those two guys are up to, or why they're involved with his mother.

Could it be that the tournament organizers want to invite retired idol Yukiko Kudo as a surprise guest at the tennis match the day after tomorrow?

Considering his mother has been busy with film preparations recently, it's reasonable for him to participate in this kind of event to increase his exposure for publicity.

However, this competition was not organized by the Suzuki family, but by a senator from Kumamoto who wanted to salvage his reputation. Logically speaking, Sonoko and Ran wouldn't be so concerned about people they don't know well.

Conan still felt a vague unease.

So he secretly picked up his phone and sent a message to Yukiko Kudo, trying to elicit the truth from her through subtle hints.

However, Yukiko Kudo was at home figuring out what to wear on her "date" with Nuwa, and couldn't reply in time, which made Conan even more worried.

So he turned around and sent a message to Yusaku Kudo, wanting to ask his father about Yukiko's recent situation.

As a result, Yusaku Kudo sent an automated reply saying that he was busy filming a movie and promoting a program.

Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes; these two were really a handful.

Thinking of this, Conan subconsciously looked towards Ran and Sonoko, and found that the two were seriously discussing tennis tactics and strategies.

I feel like Sonoko is less of a worry than her eccentric mother. At least Sonoko has had a lifelong interest in handsome men since she was little, even though she has never actually gone on a date.

As for Xiaolan, there's even less to say.

Although Xiaolan sometimes gets a little too close to Wenshui, it's probably because she's too kind and gets fooled by Wenshui.

Once he recovers Shinichi Kudo's body, everything will be resolved.

However, thinking about it carefully, it seems that not long after his body shrank, Sonoko Suzuki stopped mentioning finding a handsome man.

She used to really enjoy talking about these kinds of topics.

Could it be that……

Was it because Shinichi Kudo disappeared that Sonoko Suzuki lost interest in the handsome man?

Conan had a bold guess in his mind.

Chapter 163 How soft is Sato Miwako's bed?

In preparation for the Fire Country Cup tennis tournament, Sonoko Suzuki specifically arranged for them to fly to Kumamoto two days in advance so that they would have time to get used to the courts there.

I also wanted to relax and relieve some of the pressure before the competition.

Because pre-match rest is very important for the athletes, Sonoko Suzuki directly sponsored the best luxury hotel in the area, and the boys from the Junior Detective League naturally benefited from it as well.

The morning before the match started.

Sonoko Suzuki woke up very early because she had made plans with Ran last night to go for a run in the nearby park this morning.

Because it was quite cold here in the morning, Sonoko Suzuki took out a close-fitting sports jacket from her suitcase. Except for her healthy and slender legs under her sports shorts, most of her skin was covered.

I arrived at Xiaolan's room and gently knocked on the door a few times.

Xiao Lan appeared at the door, still half asleep.

"Huh, Ran, you're actually sleeping in?" Sonoko Suzuki asked in surprise.

Xiaolan glanced at the time: "Ah, it's already so late. Sorry, I had some trouble sleeping last night."

"Could it be that she's thinking about that guy, Wenshui?" Sonoko Suzuki said with a mischievous grin.

Xiao Lan was startled and quickly covered up her conversation with Wen Shui that lasted until midnight the night before by yawning: "How could that be? Didn't we agree to scare him? How could I possibly run away?"

Sonoko Suzuki didn't think too much about it. Besides, she had secretly sent a picture of her newly painted nails to Onami last night.

Sonoko sat on a chair in the room waiting for Ran to wash up and get ready.

After a quick wash and applying sunscreen, and tying her hair into a simple ponytail for easy movement, Xiaolan took off her pajamas and prepared to change into a tracksuit similar in style to Yuanzi's.

However, just as Ran was about to put on her sports vest, she suddenly noticed that Sonoko Suzuki was looking at her with a strange gaze.

Ran looked up and saw that Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but swallow.

Xiaolan looked exasperated: "What kind of expression is that?"

"Ran, your figure seems even better than before." Sonoko Suzuki looked at Ran's graceful curves with some envy.

Xiaolan's face flushed slightly, but her shoulders involuntarily straightened a bit: "No way, you must be mistaken. I've been eating a lot of fried chicken and ice cream these past few days, and I feel like I've gained a lot of weight."

“It’s because I’ve ‘gained weight’,” Sonoko Suzuki emphasized the words “gained weight.”

Then she walked up to Xiaolan, looking longingly at the excess fat on Xiaolan's body, "I also want to gain weight. I eat a lot of fried chicken and ice cream, but why is it not working?"

"It might be a genetic issue," Xiaolan thought for a moment. "But that doesn't make sense either. I remember Aunt Suzuki and Ayako-nee both had pretty good figures."

Sonoko Suzuki was on the verge of tears: "Ran, are you trying to provoke me?"

"That's not what I meant," Xiaolan quickly explained. "How about I bring you some papaya juice next time I make it?"

"That tastes awful," Sonoko Suzuki said with a look of disgust.

Xiaolan: "It's alright. If you add some sugar, you'll get used to it."

"Okay, but... let me check it out first. If it really works, I'll keep drinking it when I get back." Sonoko Suzuki said, then pounced on Ran.

Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sonoko Suzuki hugged Ran from behind and began to examine her carefully.

Xiaolan had already taken off her pajamas and was preparing to put on a sports vest, so she was practically defenseless.

Sonoko Suzuki easily made Ran's body weak and sore, her eyes welled up with tears, and she almost had the thought of imagining Sonoko Suzuki as warm water.

However, Xiaolan forcibly suppressed it.

Although Sonoko and she are good friends, Sonoko shouldn't be treated as a tool. Besides, it's not fair to Numizu-kun either.

Sonoko Suzuki examined it for a long time before finally letting go with an envious look on her face: "Damn, it's so soft! If I were a boy, I would definitely win you over, even if I had my mom help me."

Xiaolan looked helpless: "Don't make yourself sound like a villain from a movie."

"There's nothing I can do. Ran, you're the kind of angel who can turn good people into bad ones. No wonder Wen Shui always stares at your legs." Suzuki Sonoko sighed.

Xiaolan was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Actually... Wenshui said your skin is very special."

"special?"

Sonoko Suzuki was startled. She looked down at her arm, which was a stark contrast to Ran's in color, and felt a little inferior: "What did that bastard say?"

Xiaolan: "I overheard it too. Wenshui said that you're most charming when you're practicing at the tennis club, all wet with sweat, like silky smooth chocolate..."

Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but smile, a faint sweet feeling welling up in her heart.

"So what did you say back then?" Sonoko Suzuki asked impatiently.

Xiaolan: "I just threw him over my shoulder. Although it was a compliment, that guy dared to give my best friend a lewd look. I will never forgive him."

"I see..."

Sonoko Suzuki stared in disbelief, her eyes instantly turning into beady pupils.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the noise of the Junior Detective League could be faintly heard.

"Coming, coming," Sonoko Suzuki said as she walked towards the door.

Xiao Lan grabbed her arm: "Wait a minute, I'm not dressed yet."

"Oh, right." Sonoko Suzuki slapped her forehead. "I forgot, you can't let anyone see your body except me, not even those little brats."

"Don't say such strange things."

Ran picked up the clothes from the bedside and put them on. Mei-chan, who was restrained, happily raised her nose.

.

About a ten-minute walk from the hotel, you'll find a park that's quite large.

Sonoko Suzuki chose this hotel because it's a good place for running.

Besides the Junior Detective League and Conan who participated in the competition, even Ai Haibara, who was there as a supporter, came along.
