Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"Okay, then I'll have Professor Agasa pack the package for you." Genta seemed a little disappointed.

Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Genta. I'll buy you your favorite eel when we get back."

"Yay! Eel rice, grilled eel, eel burgers..."

Genta cheered happily on the other end of the phone, followed by different voices from Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, who said they didn't want to eat eel.

After finally managing to calm the kids down, Ai Haibara hung up the phone and looked at Wen Shui with a sweet expression: "Brother Wen Shui, let's go buy the ingredients we need for tonight. Sonoko-neechan, Ran-neechan, that's all for now, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Ai Haibara took Wen Shui's hand and walked forward.

Sonoko Suzuki: "You two, wait a minute!"

Ai Haibara turned around, her large, watery eyes filled with confusion: "Huh, Sonoko-neechan, is there something else? Didn't you say you were going to catch a criminal?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked annoyed.

Xiaolan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, Ai, we were wrong before. Can you give us a chance to come and eat too? It must be hard for you to cook for so many people by yourself."

Wen Shui nodded in agreement: "That's right, with Genta's huge appetite, how many eels would you have to cook for him?"

Ai Haibara glared at Wen Shui, then nodded slightly: "Alright then, but don't leave me behind next time."

Sonoko Suzuki patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, don't worry, we'll take you with us wherever we go next time."

Ai Haibara looked at the trembling below Sonoko Suzuki's collarbone and felt a faint sense of crisis welling up in her heart again.

.

After deciding to have dinner at Professor Agasa's house together, the girls turned their attention to Onami.

However, this is a new crisis.

Ran casually asked, "By the way, Wen Shui, why did you buy Ai a gift all of a sudden? Is it because Ai's birthday is coming up soon?"

Wen Shui thought to herself, "How would I know? You'll have to ask your godmother, Vermouth."

Sonoko Suzuki looked at him with curiosity, as if she wanted an answer.

"I just saw a gift that would really suit Ai, so I bought it." Wen Shui changed the subject. "By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight? How about barbecue?"

"You're trying to change the subject again." Xiao Lan punched Wen Shui.

Sonoko Suzuki walked over and nudged Wen Shui with her shoulder, grinning mischievously, "It's not some kind of engagement ring or a token of love, is it? No way, you'll get arrested by the police if you do."

Ran: "Sonoko, don't make jokes like that in front of Ai."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Ai Haibara, who was walking at the front, was clearly a little flustered, and her originally rhythmic steps became disordered.

.

On their way to the supermarket, they decided to have a barbecue party in Professor Agasa's yard that evening.

Originally, Wen Shui and his friends planned to go out for barbecue after watching the football festival parade.

However, due to the bombers, the original plan was disrupted, and Xiaolan canceled the restaurant reservation.

Changing the plans to go to Professor Agasa's house for a barbecue buffet is a good idea.

Meanwhile, Wen Shui decided to take the opportunity to buy some things and find a chance to replace the contents of the package for Haibara Ai. Anyway, those kids would be there when they got back, and Haibara Ai wouldn't have a chance to open the package.

If that package really was sent by Vermouth, then that would be a real problem.

However, after arriving at the supermarket, Wen Shui quickly discovered a new problem: how to find a suitable gift for Ai Haibara in a supermarket that sells groceries and daily necessities.

Moreover, he must not be discovered during the process.

Since the checkout will most likely be done together, if Ai Haibara sees what Nuku bought, then all her efforts will ultimately be in vain.

Fortunately, after entering the store, Xiaolan and the others handed the shopping cart over to Wenshui to manage, and the group went off to select the vegetables, meats and seasonings they would need for the barbecue.

Wen Shui has plenty of space to move around freely, but of course, that's limited to the supermarket area where he still has to keep an eye on the shopping cart.

While the others were grabbing discounted eggs in the vegetable section, Wen Shui pushed her cart around the neighborhood, looking for a suitable gift while gradually moving away from Ai Haibara's sight.

After searching for a while, Wen Shui finally chose a pair of black mini thick pantyhose from the living area.

After secretly paying, he explained to the store staff that it was a surprise for his sister and successfully persuaded them to let him keep the item close to his body.

Although it's a bit unoriginal and Haibara Ai might call it a pervert.

But this is the best solution we can think of at the moment.

The main problem is Ai Haibara's identity, which makes it impossible for her to give gifts to children, while gifts to adults are considered to have inappropriate intentions.

Anyway, Ai Haibara is probably used to it by now. At worst, she'll just get called a pervert a few times.

Wen Shui hid the items and pushed the shopping cart back to the vicinity of the vegetable section. Although the girls questioned her suspiciously a few times, Wen Shui managed to get away with it.

Carrying bags of groceries, Wen Shui and the girls took a taxi to Professor Agasa's house.

On the way, Ran praised Ai Haibara in front of Wen Shui, saying that she had a deep understanding of ingredients and knew how to choose vegetables that were both cheap and good.

I'd say Ai will definitely be an excellent wife in the future.

Wen Shui also praised her, and Ai Haibara blushed immediately. To hide her blush, she secretly punched Wen Shui a few times with her little hand.

Although it didn't hurt or itch, her shy appearance still made Wen Shui's heart flutter a little, and she even had the idea of ​​coaxing her a little that night to try wearing thick black pantyhose.

But the thought was quickly dispelled by the warm water.

Ah, if only Ai Haibara could recover, even if it was just for a night.

Wen Shui still remembers the time when he was at his house, when Shirley was lying on the sofa, her private parts exposed.

.

When they returned to Professor Agasa's house, before they even stepped into the yard, Awami heard Uncle Mori's voice.

"Damn it, why does this wind keep going against me?!"

Xiaolan and Wenshui exchanged a glance, then ran a few steps to the front door, staring in disbelief at the entrance: "Dad? What brings you here?"

Kogoro Mouri: "Hmm, this beautiful lady looks kind of familiar."

Xiaolan's eyes immediately turned into beady eyes.

At this moment, Wen Shui also arrived at the door and found that not only Kogoro Mouri was in Professor Agasa's yard, but also the other members of the Junior Detective League were busy.

Kogoro Mouri was standing in front of a stove, which contained a lot of charcoal.

Uncle Mori was holding a lighter and a newspaper, seemingly studying how to start a fire. He probably complained about the bad wind direction earlier because of this.

Xiao Lan was both amused and exasperated: "Dad, look closely, it's me, Xiao Lan!"

Kogoro Mouri remained unmoved: "Impossible. Didn't my good-for-nothing daughter leave her hungry father at home and go investigate the bomb case with that brat detective named Nukumizu?"

Xiaolan then realized that Uncle Mori seemed to be teasing her.

"Dad, you're not a child anymore. Just make yourself something to eat." Xiaolan couldn't help but rub her forehead, then opened the gate and walked into the yard.

Kogoro Mouri: "We promised to have barbecue and beer together tonight. Do you know how long I've been working hard to wait for this day?"

"Alright, alright, we've made it now, haven't we?" Xiaolan walked over and hugged Uncle Mori's arm affectionately. "I'll grill you some extra meat later."

Kogoro Mouri was probably really hungry, so he didn't argue with Ran and continued to use the newspaper in his hand to start a fire.

Wen Shui put the things she bought directly into the kitchen, intending to sneak away to replace the contents of the package. However, she was discovered by Ayumi and the others on the way, who kept pestering Wen Shui to tell her about her brave fight against the thugs that day.

The good news is that Ai Haibara was also entangled and didn't have a chance to open the gift.

Wen Shui casually recounted some details about the explosion site, managing to fool the kids away.

Ai Haibara was dragged into the yard by Ayumi and the others because she was going to skewer meat with the Detective Boys, giving her a brief opportunity to switch the packages.

Just now at the door, Ai Haibara asked Professor Agasa about the location of the package as soon as she entered. At that time, Numizu also heard the clue that the package was placed in Ai Haibara's room.

But before he could even reach the doorway, a pleasant peach scent wafted from the side.

Wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife, Xiao Lan grabbed Wen Shui's shoulder and said, "Come on, come to the kitchen with me."

The warm water was startled.

No way, could it be that Xiaolan was just acting the whole time, and was actually really angry and wanted to cut off his head, hold it in her arms, and go out to sea on a boat?

While she was still in a daze, Xiaolan's incredible strength had already pulled the warm water into the kitchen.

Professor Agasa's house has two kitchens: one is in the round bar area of ​​the main hall, and the other is a separately renovated room after passing through the hallway.

The outer bar area is more like a cafe, where you can prepare drinks and Western-style dishes.

When making simple dishes, Ai Haibara usually uses the round bar counter outside.

However, there are quite a few people today, and we need to process a lot of vegetables and meat, so it's more convenient to use the kitchen inside.

At this moment, on the kitchen counter, all kinds of vegetables and meats were placed in cooking basins, some were being marinated, and some had just been cut and had not yet been processed. A rich beef stew was simmering on the stove, and the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of various spices and ingredients.

Wen Shui grabbed Xiao Lan's slender wrist and advised, "Xiao Lan, calm down. Murder is illegal."

Xiaolan frowned slightly, then her gaze fell on the kitchen knife in her hand, and she chuckled: "Oh dear, I forgot about this. I called you here so you could taste the seasoning and dipping sauce to see if it's suitable."

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief: "Really, at least put the knife down first."

"Look how scared you are. How could I possibly kill you? There are so many people outside, there's no way to dispose of the body." Xiaolan put the knife aside.

Wen Shui was surprised: "So the difficulty lies in dealing with the witnesses outside?"

Xiaolan smiled brightly and happily: "No, it's just that I've been reading a lot of mystery novels lately, and I subconsciously started judging whether there were any conditions for murder."

Wen Shui sighed and looked around: "Which seasoning is it?"

He still needs to go to Ai Haibara's room to switch the items, so he has to act quickly.

Xiaolan brought over a metal dish filled with creamy sauce and placed it in front of the warm water: "This is it. I learned the recipe from the teacher when I accompanied Yuanzi to the cooking class last time. I don't know if it suits your taste."

"It looks pretty good, I'll give it a try."

After Wen Shui finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Lan with a puzzled expression. Since there were no utensils such as spoons in the cooking basin, he couldn't exactly drink from the basin, could he?

A blush suddenly appeared on Xiaolan's cheeks, but she quickly composed herself, stretched out her fair and soft hand, and lightly dipped her fingertips into the sauce: "Try it, I wonder how it tastes."

Looking at Xiao Lan's fair and slender little hands, Wen Shui hadn't yet decided whether or not to try them.
