Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

The applause was fairly enthusiastic, but occasionally one could hear negative comments from nearby audience members about Councilor Cheng Zengjian.

Because there are still warm-up performances and other events to prepare, the competition will not start for some time.

However, the fact that Ran and Sonoko hadn't shown up yet left Conan feeling somewhat uncertain.

"That's strange, why haven't Ran and Sonoko arrived yet? Did you see them this morning?" Conan asked.

Ayumi and Genta exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Ai Haibara: "I saw the two of them go out this morning. They said they were going to buy something nearby and would be back soon."

"You're buying things when there's a competition coming up?" Conan scratched his head.

"We should still have enough time. There's another group of amateur competitors ahead of us." Ai Haibara glanced at the competition schedule.

Conan hesitated for a moment, but still decided not to call Ran.

Since the warm water wasn't available this time, I don't think there's any need to worry too much.

.

Meanwhile, Onami and Yukiko Kudo had just gotten off the plane.

As the two walked through the airport waiting hall, Wen Shui couldn't help but ask, "Are you hungry? If not, shall we go straight to the anime convention?"

Yukiko Kudo was startled.

Her plan was to first take Wenshui to Senso-ji Temple to pray for blessings, and then wander around the surrounding area.

Since there was no work scheduled for this time, Yukiko Kudo had to take Onami for a stroll while waiting for Ran and Sonoko to call.

Then we can go to the tennis stadium.

At her age, she'd probably feel a little shy going to a comic convention with Wen Shui.

As for agreeing to Wen Shui's request, all I need to do is buy the clothes online, wear them casually in my room, and let the kid have a good look.

"Let's go to the temple to pray for blessings first," Yukiko Kudo suggested.

Wen Shui looked at her suspiciously: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"How could that be?" Yukiko said a little guiltyly. "You're overthinking it. After we go to the temple to pray for blessings, I'll go to the comic convention with you."

Wen Shui: "I want to go now."

"Stop fooling around, there are so many people here." Yukiko lowered her voice.

Wen Shui suddenly said in a voice that could be heard by those around her, "Mom, I want to go to the comic convention. Take me to the comic convention!"

The surrounding guests immediately turned to look.

After discovering that Yukiko Kudo was a stunning beauty with a slender figure but whose face was obscured, he immediately cast an envious glance at Nukumizu.

Yukiko Kudo's fair face immediately turned bright red. She quickly adjusted her sunglasses and gritted her teeth, saying:

"You little brat, are you trying to embarrass me here?"

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Likewise, my methods are far inferior to Mrs. Kudo's."

Chapter 165 Xiaolan is kidnapped, and the kidnapper is actually myself.

Because there were quite a few people in the airport terminal, Yukiko Kudo was somewhat worried that her identity would be exposed, in addition to the fact that she originally intended to deceive Wen Shui.

So she felt somewhat guilty.

Yukiko Kudo quickly switched from a fierce, gritting expression to a sweet, gentle smile, though her sunglasses and baseball cap prevented those around her from seeing her face.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me that kind of name in public? Darling!" Yukiko Kudo walked over and grabbed Onami's arm, hugging her and gently shaking her like a young girl in love.

It has to be said that people who have been idols are different, even if they have been retired for more than ten years.

But when she's being coquettish, she can still accurately grasp the balance of being aloof and close, making men's hearts race, but they can never quite get what they want.

Especially those magnificent pectoral muscles.

It felt like I touched it, but it was actually just stuck to the fabric of my clothes.

However, when paired with Mrs. Kudo's innocent yet slightly seductive eyes, the human brain automatically conjures up a scene of being rubbed.

Wen Shui frowned slightly: "Don't think you can make me compromise with this kind of tactic. You've lied to me several times before."

"How could that be? I really went to Asamiya Temple first because I was thinking of you."

Yukiko Kudo blinked innocently.

After seeing the couple's intimate behavior, most of the onlookers regarded Wen Shui and her partner as a "couple with some unusual fetishes" and lost interest in watching the spectacle.

After all, this is an airport, and most passersby are either rushing to catch a flight or going to watch the Fire Country Cup tennis tournament.

Nobody has time to watch this couple showing off their love.

Yukiko Kudo breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this.

However, once her tense body relaxed, she couldn't control the distance between them and ended up pressed firmly against Wen Shui's embrace.

Its amazing softness made even warm water tremble.

He reached out and placed his hand on Yukiko Kudo's shoulder; it was just as soft and boneless, and his fingers could sink into it with the slightest pressure.

Moreover, squeezing it gives you a sense of conquest, like bullying a small animal.

So Wen Shui couldn't resist squeezing it a few times.

"W-What are you doing?" Yukiko looked up in a panic. The parts of her delicate face not covered by sunglasses had already turned light pink.

I didn't expect her to be so shy.

Wen Shui, with a stern face, turned the tables: "I was about to ask you the same thing, why did you suddenly stick to me like that?"

Yukiko Kudo gritted her teeth in anger, but she knew that the most important thing now was to get Wenshui to Asamiya Temple, so she had no choice but to make up a lie: "I heard that the fortune telling at Asamiya Temple is very accurate. We're preparing to shoot a movie there recently."

Go there to draw a fortune stick, and I'll also pray for your well-being to get rid of any bad luck.

"Pray for me?" Wen Shui asked in surprise.

Yukiko Kudo: "Yeah, haven't you noticed that you seem to run into murder cases no matter where you go?"

Wen Shui thought to herself, "The root of this problem actually lies with your son. What does it have to do with me?"

"Are you really going to pray for blessings?" Wen Shui asked.

Yukiko Kudo immediately adopted a matter-of-fact expression: "What else would I do? Why would I bring you all this way here and pay for your plane ticket? Wouldn't I be doing this for nothing?"

Wen Shui felt a little touched, after all, whether in his past life or this life, very few people would care about him to this extent.

Although Yukiko Kudo may seem unreliable at times, she is, after all, a mother, and her mind is more delicate than that of the average young girl.

"Alright, let's go to Asamiya Temple first. I'd also like to see the temple customs here." Sensing the other person's kindness, Wen Shui's voice softened.

However, this detail was noticed by Yukiko Kudo.

Instead, Yukiko Kudo felt a pang of guilt deep inside.

However, after recalling how that boy had bullied her more than once before, Mrs. Kudo's guilt instantly lessened considerably.

"At worst, when I finish that cosplay anime character bet, I'll just pretend I forgot to leave the clothes at Wenshui's house as a gift for him," Yukiko Kudo thought to herself.

.

Upon arriving near Asamiya Park, Onmi found that there weren't as many tourists as she had expected.

The temple itself seemed rather deserted due to the lack of tourists.

However, the temple is quite large, and the main buildings and surrounding facilities look both old and well-maintained.

And just as Yukiko Kudo said, the fortune-telling area at this temple is larger than the shrines I've visited in Onami, and the variety of blessings offered is also more extensive.

Wen Shui stood next to the main hall, looking at the information posted on the wall.

Donations ranging from the lowest tier of 1000 to unlimited amounts can be exchanged for items such as amulets, talismans, and prayer beads of varying quality.

Of course, there are also ways to obtain divine protection without spending money, relying solely on devout faith.

However, this is much more difficult, and in order to show the believer's sincere heart, some physical punishment is usually required to demonstrate that sincerity brings results.

For example, kneeling on sharp, jagged stones, silently reciting the name of the person seeking the divination, abstaining from meat for a week, and shaving off one's eyebrows to cleanse the body of impurities.

It has to be said that not eating meat and drinking warm water is understandable.

Shaving off your eyebrows to gain divine protection feels a bit cultish.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Kudo Yukiko had already entered the main hall, but when she noticed that Onami hadn't followed her in, she ran out to see what he was doing.

Warm Water: "Read the rules. By the way, are we kneeling on the rocks or going on a hunger strike?"

“None of them.” Yukiko pouted. “I bought a mid-tier prayer pass. Let’s go, there’s no one here right now, let’s go in quickly.”

"Thank you for your expense," Wen Shui said politely, then followed Kudo Yukiko into the main hall.

Although Wen Shui didn't really believe in such things, since he was already there and had inherited the family genes, he still solemnly completed the blessing as required.

Fortunately, there's no need to kneel or kowtow during the process; you just need to silently recite your wish.

Seeing Yukiko Kudo's serious expression beside her, Wenshui couldn't help but smile. She hadn't expected this lady to be so superstitious.

Recalling Yukiko Kudo's concerned gaze, Wenshui changed her wish from "to eliminate the Black Organization from the world" to "to hope that Yukiko Kudo's movie shoot goes smoothly."

Yukiko Kudo was a little slower than him because she bought two fortune slips.

Stepping out of the main hall, Yukiko Kudo eagerly asked, "I forgot to ask, what wish did you make just now?"

Wen Shui: "I can't say it, or it won't work."

"Who said that? Is it a custom in Osaka? We don't have that kind of saying here," Yukiko Kudo said seriously.

Wen Shui countered, "So what did you wish for?"

Yukiko Kudo raised her nose smugly: "Of course I hope you're safe and sound, and that you don't encounter any more dangerous cases. Also, I hope Ran and Shinichi can reconcile quickly, and finally, I hope the movie filming goes smoothly."

Wen Shui thought to herself that at least one of her wishes couldn't be fulfilled so quickly.

Because without eliminating the Black Organization, Conan cannot become Shinichi Kudo. Moreover, the relationship between Nuku and Ran is currently somewhat complicated. Even if Shinichi Kudo were to return, the outcome would be uncertain.

What did you wish for?

Wen Shui: "I hope your film shoot goes smoothly."
