Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Besides liking older women, I also have a strong interest in people my own age, of course, they have to fit my aesthetic."

"You scumbag, go to hell!"

Yukiko Kudo then realized that Numizu was deliberately teasing her, but what was with that feeling of relief that welled up inside her after hearing his answer?

At this moment, Xiaolan returned from the storage room: "We have enough bedding, so let's decide where to sleep."

"Do we still need to decide? Why don't we all just sleep together?" Wen Shui asked, puzzled.

Xiaolan said with a straight face, "Please, there are plenty of girls here, how can I sleep with you?"

Clearly, Ran felt that the situation was a bit complicated today. Both the drunken Sato Miwako and Kudo Yukiko posed a great threat to her, so she simply chose a conservative approach to prevent either of them from getting close to the warm water.

Wen Shui: "Okay, then you girls can go sleep next door. I'll take care of Conan and the others."

Conan raised his hand: "I want to sleep with Ran-neechan."

Yukiko Kudo walked up to Conan with her hands on her hips, raised her slender finger and flicked Conan on the forehead: "You brat, didn't you just say that men and women should be separated?"

Conan covered his head, wondering why his mother had suddenly become angry.

Seeing this, Yukiko Kudo softened and sighed, "Sleep with Wen Shui tonight, and let him tell you a bedtime story."

Conan: ? ?

If someone else said this, there would be no fault in it, but Kudo Yukiko knows his identity, so why would she let Wen Shui tell him a bedtime story?

Looking at Yukiko Kudo's kind smile, Conan couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

Impossible. That kind of thing only happens in comic books. No one in the real world would do something like that.

Wen Shui helped Ran help Sato Miwako to the next room, then took two more quilts over before waving goodbye at the entrance: "Then I'll take Ai and the others back. You should get some rest."

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

Ai Haibara involuntarily puffed out her small, flat chest, not because she could live with warm water, but because she was finally experiencing the benefits of having a smaller body.

"Wait a minute!" Ran and Yukiko Kudo said in unison. Ran even rushed over and snatched Ai Haibara away, hugging her tightly. "Ai and Ayumi are girls too, right? Of course they should sleep with us!"

Wen Shui blinked: "But don't the Junior Detective Club always stay in the same room when they go camping?"

In the past, Ran might have believed Wen Shui's nonsense, but what she saw at the tennis court at noon today made her a little uneasy about Wen Shui and Ai living in the same room.

"Well, that's different." Ran hugged Ai Haibara's small body tightly. "And I want to pass on my experience in karate to Ai and Ayumi so that they can have a better mindset when playing tennis."

Ran's reasoning was flawless, and Ayumi, standing next to her, wholeheartedly agreed.

Wen Shui had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to Xiao Ai.

Ai Haibara wore a look of despair, like a rag doll. "Why is this big-breasted woman only so formidable when she's dealing with me?! Why didn't you lend a hand when Miwako Sato was flirting with Nukumi?"

Wen Shui returned home, where Conan and Genta were already washing up.

Before leaving, Xiaolan thoughtfully made up the bedding for everyone and lit mosquito coils to repel insects. Apart from not having a beautiful girl to warm the bed, the warm water sleeping environment was no different from before.

As for telling Conan bedtime stories?

Wen Shui thought about it for a moment and then decided against it. It felt too awkward. Even if you're trying to build a parent-child relationship, you can't do it like this. He wondered if Kudo Yukiko was deliberately teasing him or if she had other intentions.

As Wen Shui was thinking, she suddenly noticed something shiny on the floor in the entryway.

He looked down and saw that it was the key he had given back to Yukiko Kudo.

That's strange, did it fall here by accident?

Wen Shui picked up the key, went next door, and knocked a few times. Soon, footsteps came from behind the door. Kudo Yukiko, wearing a face mask, appeared at the door.

Wen Shui: "You left your keys at my house."

Because of the face mask on her face, Wen Shui couldn't observe Kudo Yukiko's expression, but there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in her big, watery eyes: "Huh, you didn't secretly hide it?"

"How could that be? Do you think that's the kind of person I am?" Wen Shui asked, her expression displeased.

Yukiko Kudo looked at the warm water with an expression that said, "That's right, that's what I think." Her delicate, fair legs under her bathrobe shone with an alluring luster, clearly indicating that she had just come out of the bathroom.

"Are you taking a bath?" Wen Shui asked curiously.

"Yes, taking a bath before bed helps you sleep better."

Wen Shui couldn't help but remind her, "Don't drown Officer Sato, she's drunk so much."

"How could we let her take a bath with us? We helped her to her room to rest a long time ago," Yukiko couldn't help but complain.

Wen Shui nodded: "Oh, then I'll go back. Oh, by the way, don't forget to compare sizes with Xiao Lan later."

"W-why?" Yukiko Kudo looked completely incredulous.

Warm water lightly swept over her graceful curves beneath her bathrobe: "Nothing, just a little curious."

"Get out of here!"

Yukiko slammed the door shut in a fit of embarrassment and anger, then stared blankly at the key in her palm. This kid actually returned the key; had he really grown tired of her?

But then she thought, something's not right. The way Wen Shui looked at her just now was as if she wanted to strip her clothes off with her eyes. It didn't seem like she wanted to distance herself from her at all.

Could it be that Wen Shui was dissatisfied with the way she gave her the key?

But this was the best way she could think of that aligns with the tacit understanding between adults.

After all, she had just taken the key back from Wen Shui in the afternoon out of embarrassment and anger. If she were to give it back to him now, it would seem that she was being too proactive and acting like a simp.

But what could be better than this method?

Because Yukiko Kudo was looking down at the keys in her hand, in addition to the keys, she could also see the fullness of her breasts wrapped in the bathrobe, which was also the place where Onami's gaze lingered the longest.

She hesitated for a moment.

He tentatively dropped the key into the coin slot between the two mountains.

Chapter 256 Sonoko Suzuki's Scheme, and Ai's Vision for the Future

The night passed peacefully, but Wen Shui waited until midnight without seeing the girl who had secretly come to meet him.

However, when everyone had breakfast together the next morning, Wen Shui noticed that the girls were looking at him strangely.

No matter how Wen Shui asked, they all shook their heads in unison, saying that Wen Shui was overthinking it, so Wen Shui had no choice but to give up.

A few days after spending the night at Wen Shui's house.

A street in Beika Town was bustling with people.

There was a long queue in front of a shop called "Sakurano Toy House," which stretched all the way from the shop entrance to the intersection at the end of the street.

To maintain order, the Metropolitan Police Department even dispatched two patrol officers to stand guard on the roadside to prevent fights from breaking out over cutting in line.

The Junior Detective Club members were in the middle to back of the line. Genta looked at the crowd in front of him with some dissatisfaction: "Honestly, why are all these adults here to join in the fun? This is clearly an activity for kids."

"There's nothing we can do about it. This time, Kamen Rider cards and a wrestling match have a crossover event," Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya sighed.

Ayumi: "I heard that if you buy the latest limited edition card pack, you have a chance to also get a ticket to watch a wrestling match at the Toto Kokugikan. A lot of these people must be wrestling fans, right?"

"If you like watching it, just buy a ticket! Why do you have to fight with kids for Kamen Rider cards? It's infuriating!" Genta said, quite dissatisfied.

Ai Haibara pointed to a large advertising billboard on the roadside: "Look at that, that man wearing a werewolf mask, he looks like a very popular masked wrestler, similar to Kamen Rider."

"How can you compare them? Kamen Rider exists to maintain world peace, while the werewolf's existence only prevents children from buying the toys they want."

Genta Kojima couldn't help but complain.

Mitsuhiko shook his head: "I occasionally see reports about that player wearing the wolf mask on TV programs at home. They say he has won more than sixty games since his debut and has never revealed his true face to the audience."

Genta: "That's nowhere near as good as Kamen Rider, isn't it?"

“But Kamen Rider is a fictional character,” Mitsuhiko couldn’t help but retort. “This wolf-faced wrestler is a real person, and he won over sixty matches in a row.”

Ayumi couldn't help but interject, "But I heard that wrestling matches are scripted, right..."

The kids started arguing first.

Ai Haibara couldn't help but facepalm. Although she had gotten used to the childish arguments within the Detective Boys and even found the atmosphere quite nice, at least it allowed her to experience a childhood she had never known before.

However, recently Ai Haibara has been unable to stop thinking about a certain question.

If she has children in the future, will she also be pestered with questions like, "Who is stronger, the wrestler or Kamen Rider?" Considering that bastard Wenshui and Ran and Sonoko Suzuki are exchanging glances, there might be more than one child living in the house.

Thinking about this, Ai Haibara suddenly felt a little irritated.

Because she found that she wasn't so averse to such bold fantasies, and even looked forward to living with Ran and Sonoko, so that the friendship of the Suzuran Detective Club could continue.

But if the price of maintaining this friendship is watching her, Ran, and Sonoko Suzuki's children pester her with childish questions every day, isn't that too high a price to pay?

And isn't this a bit too cheap for that bastard Wen Shui?

He didn't save the world like Kamen Rider, so why does he get to have three beautiful girls at the same time? How infuriating!

Normally, Conan would probably step in at this time and say something that doesn't suit a child's age to explain wrestling. Sometimes this would stop the Junior Detective League from arguing, and sometimes it would draw the fire to Conan himself, causing him to be surrounded and attacked by several people.

In short, if Conan were present, he would always find a way to quell the argument.

However, Conan didn't attend the Junior Detective League's activity today; he said he went to a buffet with Ran and Nukami.

Recently, Conan's relationship with Nuku has improved, partly due to Nuku's proactive efforts to make amends. However, this has also caused a sense of unease in Ai Haibara's heart.

That bastard probably wants to drag Yukiko Kudo into the Suzuran Detective Club too, doesn't he?

The thought of that retired female idol with an incredibly hot body, whose mental capacity was sometimes even inferior to that of Ayumi Yoshida, made Ai Haibara's head ache even more.

It felt like there were two more people to take care of, and Ai's mother suddenly felt a little tired.

But then again, if that were to happen, Conan would probably be even more upset than her.

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara felt a little better.

It's strange. She knows it's wrong to build her happiness on other people's suffering, so why doesn't she put up any resistance?

"It must be that bastard Wen Shui who corrupted her," Ai Haibara thought.

After queuing for more than half an hour, just as it was about to be Ai Haibara and the others' turn, a male shop assistant suddenly came out and bowed apologetically to everyone: "I'm so sorry, we've sold out of card holders here. Please go to another store to buy them."

These words immediately caused an uproar.

"What? They're all sold out so quickly? Did I just stand in line for nothing?"

"At least limit how many each person can buy! Look at that bastard just carrying a whole box away..."

Customers who had been queuing for a long time began to protest against the toy store staff. Later, the owner and another female employee came out of the store and kept bowing and apologizing to calm everyone's anger.
