Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Xiaolan: "The waiter said he'll bring the wine over later, so we'll wait for him here."

"I see." Conan looked at Wen Shui and Xiao Ran with some suspicion, but found that Xiao Ran's expression was still as indifferent as before.

Very well, it seems that Xiaolan is really angry this time, and it will probably be difficult to restore their previous relationship for a while.

A smug smile crept onto Conan's lips.

.

More than an hour later.

Wen Shui and her group returned from the restaurant to the hotel where they were staying in the garden.

Wen Shui had already learned on the way that Kudo Yukiko had returned ahead of them, and had even gone with Ran and the others to deliver the late-night snack they brought back from the restaurant to Yukiko's room.

However, to Wen Shui's surprise, Kudo Yukiko's attitude towards him also became somewhat cold, and she didn't even bring up the previous agreement.

This left him speechless. He felt like he wasn't the hero who saved the world, but rather the sinner who had messed things up.

A faint sense of loss welled up in Wen Shui's heart.

However, this sense of loss didn't last long before there was a knock on the door.

Wen Shui walked to the door and opened it, only to find Kudo Yukiko standing there late at night wearing a suspicious beige long trench coat, her blushing cheeks perfectly reflecting her inner state.

A pleasant scent of shower gel wafted from her body.

Scenes that frequently appear in certain literary works subconsciously surfaced in Wen Shui's mind, and she didn't react for a moment.

Yukiko Kudo rolled her eyes: "Let me in first, it'll be troublesome if someone sees me."

As Yukiko spoke, she squeezed right next to Wenshui. Her soft shoulders and long, curly hair that brushed against her cheeks made Wenshui's heart flutter.

Chapter 171: Obtaining dirt on Mrs. Kudo

After Yukiko Kudo entered Nuku's room, Nuku stood at the door and looked around, but did not see the bespectacled kid or the girl with horns on her head hiding in the shadows and observing.

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the door and locked it from the inside.

The crisp sound of the lock made Yukiko Kudo's heart skip a beat.

Although she knew that Wen Shui's actions were to ensure that their secret would not be leaked, the feeling of sneaking around still made her feel uneasy and excited.

Yes, more than anything, I'm excited.

Yukiko felt like she had returned to her rebellious phase, doing things that her parents and teachers forbade her to do all the time, such as skipping class to go to her favorite female singer's concert, playing her own songs on the radio when the student council members weren't around, and writing letters to Kogoro Mouri in the name of Eri Kisaki to tease him...

At that time, Yukiko felt that every day was very fulfilling, and she was full of hope and longing for the future.

After she chose to retire from the entertainment industry more than ten years ago, she has found it difficult to find that energetic state again.

Yukiko initially thought it was just due to age, and that everyone goes through this kind of change.

But to her surprise, ever since she returned to Beika Town and met Onami Kazuki, she often felt a sense of freshness about life that she had lost for a long time in this boy who was about the same age as Shinichi.

However, the way they did it each time was somewhat embarrassing to talk about.

But this kind of feeling is really hard to resist.

This led to a difficult choice for Yukiko Kudo: on the one hand, she wanted to maintain her status as an elder and establish authority in front of Kazuki Nukumi.

On the one hand, they want to experience the captivating uncertainty of first love from time to time.

That's why her relationship with Wen Shui was a bit strange.

Fortunately, she has always had a rather outgoing personality, and those who know her well haven't noticed anything amiss.

I wonder how Wen Shui and Shu really view her as an elder...

Wait a minute, why am I suddenly starting to care about this kid's thoughts?

Yukiko Kudo quickly composed herself and tried to regain her composure.

After closing the door, Wen Shui looked at Mrs. Kudo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed wearing a long trench coat, and felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Because it was the first time he had encountered this situation.

I wonder what surprise Yukiko Kudo is hiding under her trench coat.

Will she wear his favorite cow-print outfit, or will she skip this step altogether and fast forward to writing his name on her plump belly?

Wait a minute, what am I thinking?

Wen Shui quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down. The person sitting in front of her was someone else's mother, even if she was Shinichi Kudo's. She still had to show respect.

Warm water repeatedly reminded herself.

"Hmph, sneaking around like that, people will think we're doing something weird." Yukiko scolded with a stern face to cover up her true feelings.

Wen Shui looked completely innocent:

"I'm just worried about being seen by others. It's so late and you're dressed so suspiciously. If someone sees you, I probably won't even need to explain myself."

"Isn't it all because of you?" Yukiko suddenly stood up, walked up to Wenshui, and glared at him fiercely with her beautiful big eyes.

The wife, who had just taken a shower, had a sweet, cloying fragrance that teenage girls didn't have.

The delicate, pink skin on her cheeks made one want to touch it to feel how smooth it was.

"Because of me?" Wen Shui looked confused. "By the way, what did you do this afternoon? Wasn't the talk of filming here fabricated?"

Yukiko Kudo: "Well, didn't we agree before that if you came to Kumamoto with me, I would go to the comic convention with you?"

"Yes, but I never expected you guys to set me up and cheat me." Wen Shui pretended to be angry.

Yukiko's cheeks turned even redder: "Okay, I know I shouldn't have kept it from you this time, so... this afternoon I went to Asamizu Temple to get you a lucky charm to ward off bad luck, so you won't keep running into murder cases."

Wen Shui thought to herself, "No way! I'm counting on encountering cases to upgrade my cheat progress. If I don't encounter any cases, then I won't be able to upgrade."

However, he also knew that Yukiko Kudo meant well.

So Wen Shui looked at Kudo Yukiko's small hand with anticipation, only to find that after she finished speaking, she didn't make any further moves.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Wen Shui couldn't help but ask, "So... what about the amulet?"

Yukiko Kudo took a deep breath, then gently pulled down the collar of her trench coat, revealing her snow-white collarbone and half of her cleavage in Wen Shui's view.

Wen Shui had expected to see a leather collar and cowbell around her neck.

Unfortunately, nothing magical happened. Yukiko Kudo had a thin ribbon tied around her neck, with two small and exquisite amulets attached to the bottom of the ribbon.

The amulet was positioned perfectly in the middle of her magnificent pectoral muscles.

"Pick whichever one you want." Yukiko Kudo took the amulet off her body and held it up in the air to show it off.

Warm water: "What's the difference?"

"I'll tell you after you've made your choice." Yukiko Kudo's expression remained unchanged.

How could she possibly tell Wen Shui that the light yellow one was for her lover, Wen Shui, and the light pink one was for a regular friend?

In fact, Yukiko Kudo herself wasn't quite sure why she made this inexplicable choice; it was just a feeling deep inside her that prompted her.

Yukiko has always believed in her sixth sense, which may be related to the fact that she is an actress.

Wen Shui looked at the two amulets in front of her: "May I take a look?"

"for you."

Yukiko handed the amulet to Nuwa.

Wen Shui touched the fabric of the amulet bag with her hand; it seemed to be silk, and it was embroidered with beautiful patterns.

He brought the amulet closer to his eyes and smelled it; a rich milky aroma wafted towards him.

"What are you doing?" Yukiko asked anxiously, glaring at him with displeasure.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Check it out. Did you put any spices in it? Why does it smell so good?"

Yukiko Kudo bit her lip lightly: "I don't know, maybe."

"This spice smells quite nice. Is it from Asamiya Temple?" Wen Shui asked curiously. "I'll buy some to put by my pillow to help me sleep sometime."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and choose!"

Yukiko Kudo urged him impatiently. She was already nervous enough, and this kid was saying things that made her feel embarrassed.

Wen Shui hesitated for a moment, pinched the thickness of the two amulets, and finally chose to keep the light yellow one.

Yukiko Kudo's heart was pounding in her throat: "Why did you choose this?"

"I don't know, I just picked it randomly, I just felt like it was meant to be." Wen Shui shrugged.

Yukiko Kudo looked at the light yellow amulet with a complicated expression: "Fate...?"

Warm Water: "By the way, what should we do with this? Are you keeping it for yourself?"

"Oh, I'll give this to Ran tomorrow," Yukiko said casually.

Wen Shui: "Hey, why are you acting so differently this time?"

"What do you mean?"

"Weren't you against me dating Ran before?" Wen Shui shook the amulet in her hand. "Why are you giving me something that looks like a couple's pendant?"

A faint blue vein appeared on Yukiko's forehead. She suddenly had a strong urge to punch that bastard Wenshui in the head and smash it, but she held back in the end.

However, this amulet is naturally not going to be given to Ran anymore.

Of course, she just didn't want to give Wen Shui a hand, it definitely wasn't because she was jealous.

Watching Yukiko Kudo pack up her things, Wenshui couldn't help but ask, "So, shall we get down to business now?"

Yukiko Kudo was still angry and said coldly, "What main topic? The main topic has already been completed."

"Huh? You're dressed so strangely, is it just to give me a talisman?" Wen Shui was surprised.

Yukiko Kudo crossed her arms: "What else do you want to do?"

"I don't believe you. Let me see what you're wearing underneath." Wen Shui said, pretending to pounce on her.

"ah"

Yukiko Kudo gasped and fell backward, landing on the bed.
