Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Sonoko Suzuki looked around. Although there were quite a few people in the corridor leading to the hall, it was still far from the point where people would be separated and unable to find each other.

Wen Shui was clearly lying through her teeth, but Miss Sonoko was secretly delighted.

Whether it was because Wen Shui wanted to take advantage of her or because he saw through her thoughts and deliberately comforted her in this way, it was good news for Suzuki Sonoko.

The two walked hand in hand in the hallway of the venue, just like a couple.

Sonoko Suzuki looked down at the tips of her little black leather shoes, barely daring to meet Wen Shui's gaze. Her delicate, soft palms were quickly soaked with sweat from nervousness.

Wen Shui quickly noticed the change in Suzuki's body and couldn't help but find it a little amusing. Despite her usually outgoing personality, she was now behaving like a little girl who had never seen a boy before—it was kind of cute.

A mischievous thought suddenly welled up in Wen Shui, so she gently hooked Suzuki Sonoko's palm with her fingertip.

"Hmm..." Sonoko Suzuki's eyes widened, and she let out a meaningful hum. "W-what are you doing?"

Wen Shui chuckled mischievously, "You seem so nervous, I was just kidding. But why are your palms so sweaty? Are you very hot?"

Sonoko Suzuki nodded awkwardly: "Yes, it's a little hot."

"Take off your coat, I'll hold it for you," Wen Shui suggested.

Sonoko Suzuki was still wearing her Teitan suit jacket with a white shirt because she hadn't gone home to change. Her pleated skirt had been shortened, and her long, slender legs, tanned to a wheat color by the sun, were as powerful as a female leopard's, making one want to touch the smoothness of her thighs.

Sonoko Suzuki hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to Wenshui and took off her coat.

Wen Shui held Suzuki Sonoko's small hand in one hand and her coat in the other, occasionally turning his head to shamelessly admire the girl's youthful curves under her semi-transparent white shirt.

After being stared at several times, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at with those lecherous eyes?"

"It's nothing, just admiring a beautiful girl's body," Wen Shui said bluntly.

Sonoko Suzuki was taken aback by Wen Shui's directness and immediately panicked: "Pervert, haven't you seen enough of this in PE class?"

Wen Shui was shocked: "When did I peek at you during PE class?"

“I’m not talking about myself,” Sonoko Suzuki sneered. “I’ve been watching you. Every time a girl with a good figure runs, you look at her with a lecherous eye. Humph, especially Ran.”

Wen Shui smiled and said, "It's a man's nature. Isn't it good to be full of fantasies about beautiful things?"

"I don't have a great figure, and my skin isn't as fair as Ran's, so what's so attractive about me?" Sonoko Suzuki complained while observing Awami's expression.

Wen Shui: "I think you're pretty good too. Your tanned skin looks sexy, it's just a different style."

"You really like it?" Sonoko Suzuki's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Warm water nodded gently.

Sonoko Suzuki said in a seductive voice, "Then next time after my PE class, I'll have you help me relax my muscles. You can even massage my body yourself~"

Wen Shui: "I don't really like it that much..."

What a joke! Xiaolan has always done this job. If he were to take Xiaolan's job, he'd probably get beaten to death.

"I was just kidding." Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but laugh. "How can a girl's body be touched by just anyone? This kind of thing should be left to Ran. You have no idea how good Ran's technique is..."

Sonoko Suzuki then recounted to Nukumizu how comfortable it felt when Ran relaxed her muscles.

Wen Shui was intrigued. Maybe he could find an opportunity to have Xiao Lan give him a full-body massage to relax his muscles someday? Wen Shui's physical strength was enhanced by the spell every day, so he was used to the feeling of muscle soreness and growth. He wondered if a massage would be ineffective.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Sonoko Suzuki said, looking displeased.

Wen Shui then came to her senses and realized that while holding Sonoko's hand, she was thinking about another girl. Was that a little impolite?

Feeling guilty, Wen Shui said apologetically, "Of course I was listening, but you described it in such detail that I'm a little curious about what it feels like to have your muscles relaxed."

"Why don't you just let Ran give you a massage?" Sonoko Suzuki said.

"That wouldn't be good. Xiaolan is a girl after all, and it would be a bit awkward for a man and a woman to be alone together." Wen Shui's eyes darted around. "Why don't you and Xiaolan go together? It won't be so awkward if there are two of you."

Sonoko Suzuki leaned closer with a cold smile, pinching the soft flesh of Wen Shui's waist: "Wen Shui-kun, I didn't expect you to have such grand ambitions, actually wanting me and Ran to serve you together!"

"It's just a body massage, you don't need to take off your clothes..." Wen Shui deliberately screamed.

The two walked toward the hall, bickering noisily. Although Sonoko Suzuki pretended to be angry on the surface, she actually enjoyed this way of getting along with Wen Shui.

Unfortunately, this subtle atmosphere didn't last long before Wen Shui was greeted by a spacious hall that resembled a comic convention.

There were long queues at several stalls selling related products, and even more people at the snack and drink stalls.

Upon arriving at a very crowded place, Wen Shui had no choice but to let go of Suzuki Sonoko's hand to avoid being photographed by reporters and having a scandalous date with a man. Suzuki Sonoko reluctantly accepted the suit jacket from Wen Shui's hand.

Why is this road so short?

The same thought arose in both of their minds at the same time.

After that came the purchase of masks and related merchandise. Actually, not everyone in wrestling matches wears a mask, but Wolfman's reputation for over 60 consecutive wins made him very popular, resulting in Wolfman masks selling the best.

Other wrestlers also wear eye-catching props to increase their visibility, trying to emulate Wolfface and boost their popularity. Most of the merchandise sold here is designed around the wrestlers' exclusive accessories.

For example, a Zorro-like eye mask, sparkly star stickers on the shoulders, a wig dyed red... and so on.

After walking around, Sonoko Suzuki and Nukumizu ended up with quite a few wrestler support items in their hands.

Sonoko Suzuki wore a mask similar to the Wolf Warrior's, and had a sticker tattoo of another wrestler on the back of her hand. Awami wore a tiger mask.

Wen Shui glanced at the time; it seemed the first match had already started. But Suzuki Sonoko insisted that it was a rare opportunity and wanted to take a photo with him wearing an animal mask.

Although she didn't know what the point of taking a group photo was when their faces were so obscured, Nuwa didn't refuse Sonoko Suzuki's request.

The two randomly picked a kind-looking middle-aged man and asked him to take a picture for them.

With her purchases in hand, Wen Shui couldn't pose for photos, so she could only smile awkwardly at the camera.

Sonoko Suzuki, on the other hand, boldly put her arm around Awami's and tilted her head slightly toward him, looking just like a couple deeply in love.

The middle-aged man was holding the digital camera that Sonoko Suzuki had prepared beforehand, and was about to take a picture when he suddenly heard his son crying behind him.

The uncle looked at Wen Shui and the others with a troubled expression, unsure whether it was better to finish taking pictures before taking care of his son, or to wait until he had calmed his son down before coming back to help Wen Shui and the others take pictures.

Just then, a sweet-looking girl with cute horns sticking up on her head walked over and said, "I'll take their picture."

"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble." The middle-aged man looked at Xiaolan gratefully, then turned and ran to his crying son.

Ran Mouri held up her camera towards Onami and Sonoko, only to find that the two had suddenly separated. Ran smiled and squinted, "What's wrong? Weren't you going to take a picture? Get a little closer and act a little more intimate."

Wen Shui could vaguely sense the atmosphere of a chaotic battlefield permeating the air.

Chapter 262 Explanation or Confrontation? Wen Shui Faces a Fateful Choice

Wen Shui was surprised that Xiao Lan had followed him. He quickly looked around and the good news was that he didn't see Haibara Ai.

That makes things much easier. Ran is a bit silly... ah, no! She's more like gentle and kind-hearted. Plus, she and Sonoko Suzuki are best friends, so explaining it should be much easier than explaining it to Ai Haibara.

Just as he was thinking, Numizu noticed that Sonoko Suzuki was giving him frantic winks, meaning "Hurry up and think of a solution."

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Xiao Lan is right, we should indeed be a little closer."

Upon hearing this, both Ran and Sonoko looked flustered and uneasy. They had both vaguely sensed each other's feelings for Wenshui, but because they were usually quite restrained when they were together, they had never made a move.

Judging from Wen Shui's words, is she planning to make a decision and lay her cards on the table?

Although Sonoko Suzuki was a little excited, she was more worried that this incident would affect her relationship with Ran.

Ran was even more confused. She was just saying it in anger, so how could that jerk Wen Shui actually be with Sonoko? They were just kissing a moment ago...

However, to the surprise of both Ran and Sonoko, Wenshui walked over and pulled Ran over as well.

Two youthful and beautiful girls stood on either side of Wen Shui, their two completely different perfume scents filling her nostrils.

The soft, elastic touch of the karate club captain is on my left arm, while the firm, delicate touch of the athletic girl is on my right arm.

Even in a light novel, this kind of scene would probably only be achieved near the end.

“Of course the Lily of the Valley Detective Club should be inseparable,” Wen Shui said with a smile. “Come on, let’s commemorate another new location we’ve visited. Hopefully, we’ll encounter a case this time too.”

Ran and Sonoko were silent for a few seconds.

Then, without prior arrangement, they both reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Wen Shui's arm and waist: "You bastard, can you please stop saying things that are so easy to misunderstand?!"

Wen Shui cried out dramatically, "Am I wrong? Is there anything wrong with wanting to be with Xiao Lan Yuanzi for the rest of my life?"

"Shut up!"

"You still dare to say that?"

Wen Shui spoke loudly, so many customers who came to buy food and support items looked at the pair curiously. After hearing Wen Shui say that he wanted to be with the two girls for life, everyone's eyes became ambiguous.

Ran blushed deeply with embarrassment after being surrounded by onlookers. Sonoko Suzuki's wolf-faced warrior mask wasn't very noticeable, but a faint blush could be seen on her slender neck.

Xiao Lan angrily snatched the wolf-faced warrior mask from Wen Shui's hand, put it on her face, and then dragged him away from the scene.

.

Ran and Sonoko originally intended to take Wenshui to a secluded place and punish the bastard properly, but they didn't expect that in their panic, they would choose the corridor leading to the players' rest area when they ran away.

After walking a few steps, I met the person in charge here, Mitsuaki Suzuki.

Mitsuaki Suzuki was taken aback when he saw Wenshui and the others wearing masks. Didn't Ms. Suzuki say that she and her friends were watching wrestling for the first time? How come they even bought support merchandise and went into the wrestlers' rest area?

Mitsuaki Suzuki's heart skipped a beat. He had long heard that the second young lady of the Suzuki family was a playful person. Perhaps seeing the lively atmosphere, she wanted to join in the fun.

I should have given them a few masks if I had known this would happen. I wonder if that would upset Ms. Suzuki?

Mitsuaki Suzuki walked over with a smile and said, "Ms. Suzuki, how did you end up backstage?"

Xiaolan: "Sorry, we took the wrong road. We'll go back now."

“It’s alright, if you’re interested, I can take you backstage,” said Mitsuaki Suzuki.

Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance and quickly reached an understanding.

Although they both really wanted to teach Wenshui a lesson, after they finished, they would have to face the somewhat pointed question: why did Sonoko and Wenshui act so intimately when taking pictures?

Neither Sonoko Suzuki, the person involved, nor Ran, the witness, were prepared to accept the answer to this question, so they accepted Mitsuaki Suzuki's invitation.

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, at least temporarily escaping the danger of the battlefield.

I wonder if leaving Ai there will cause trouble for Sherry-sama later. At this moment, Wen Shui suddenly felt the trouble of having too many wings.

Walk all the way to the end of this corridor to the wrestlers' rest area. Each person has a private room, as well as a large room where they can hold meetings and discussions together.

At the intersection near the rest area, two burly men in wrestling team uniforms and security personnel were guarding the area, making it seem like only insiders could get into the inner area.

On the other side of the blockade line stood a row of girls who looked like fans and several newspaper reporters holding cameras.

Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously, "What are those people doing? Are they fans?"
