Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"Then it's settled. I'll head over now," Wen Shui said.

Asaya patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me!"

As he spoke, Asaya excitedly ran off to move his things. Judging from his happy expression, he was probably already fantasizing about interacting with the sexually charged anime characters once he got his hands on the manga.

Wen Shui walked up to Suzuki Sonoko and nudged her with his shoulder: "Hey, what are you standing there for?"

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly snapped out of her daze: "Huh? What?"

Wen Shui rolled her eyes: "I mean, if you just stood there motionless for so long, people would think you were going to commit suicide."

"Me? Suicide?" Sonoko Suzuki's long eyelashes reflected a captivating light in the sunlight. "Why would you think of that? Who would use a tap to commit suicide?"

"Why not? Don't you think this way of dying is quite unique?" Wen Shui reached under the tap to rinse off the dust that had stuck to the moving equipment.

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly took a step back, her face pale: "No, no! I'll back out voluntarily, okay? Please don't kill me!"

Wen Shui feigned ignorance: "Withdraw what? Why would I kill you?"

Sonoko Suzuki gave him a resentful look, wiping her wet hands on the front of her sailor uniform. "The Suzuran Detective Club, if I, the dragging one out, were to drop out, you and Ran might be able to catch that Slit-Mouthed Woman."

"Don't say things like that. Aren't we a team? We're going to be together for life." Wen Shui walked over and, imitating Suzuki Sonoko, wiped her freshly washed hands repeatedly on the front of Suzuki Sonoko's sailor uniform.

Mr. Nohara, who happened to be passing by, saw this scene from afar. He was about to shout to stop it when he suddenly realized that the person using the girl's body as a towel was Norizuki.

Ms. Nohara suddenly stopped talking, hesitating whether to pretend she hadn't seen it.

After all, Onami is now a well-known figure in Teitan High School, and he often gives TV interviews. More importantly, this kid always seems to encounter murder cases. Nohara-sensei thinks that Onami might have offended some kind of evil spirit and doesn't want to provoke him.

When Mr. Nohara saw that the girl being used as a "hand towel" was the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, he immediately turned around, grabbed the list in his hand, and headed towards the cafeteria.

Are you kidding me? The Suzuki Group is a behemoth that can change the course of his life with the slightest flick of its finger!

The pampered heiress, cherished by the president of the Suzuki Group, is being used as a hand-wiping tool. He might get implicated if he witnesses this, so it's best to pretend he didn't see anything.

Just then, Asaya walked towards us carrying two shot puts: "Mr. Nohara, weren't you going to take inventory of the equipment in the warehouse?"

Nohara-sensei's expression changed slightly: "Let's do it later. By the way, come with me to the cafeteria."

"Go to the cafeteria?" Asaya was completely confused.

With a dark expression, Nohara-sensei said, "Stop babbling, just come with me."

After being scolded, Asaya didn't dare to ask any more questions. He picked up the two shot puts and followed Mr. Nohara toward the cafeteria.

On the other side, under Sonoko Suzuki's shocked gaze, Wenshui slowly dried the water stains on her hands, and then said in a serious tone, "Sonoko-chan, you were the one who said in the beginning that our Suzuran Detective Club would be together for life, so you can't go back on your word now."

"You, you bastard, is this how you treat your comrades?"

Sonoko Suzuki's wheat-colored skin had already turned completely red. In fact, she originally wanted to use this method to slightly display her charm, so that Wen Shui would gradually fall into her trap and then slowly interrogate her to find out the truth she wanted.

But I never expected the warm water to be so direct.

This is on the playground! Although there are warehouses and trees to provide cover, it's still easy for passersby to see us.

Sonoko felt she should be angry and give the lukewarm water a good scolding, but she felt happy being used as a hand towel in her gymnastics uniform. She even straightened her back to make the contact surface of her body closer to the lukewarm water.

Warm Water: "Companions are for doing things like this."

Sonoko Suzuki: "Being your partner must be really tough. Can I apply to quit?"

The two stared at each other intently for a few seconds, then both burst into laughter.

Sonoko Suzuki covered her sailor uniform, which was now slightly transparent due to water stains, with her arm, and pouted, saying, "Hmph, you're really dishonest. I have to keep an eye on you for Ran, lest she be fooled by your sweet talk."

"I've already tricked you, right under your nose," Wen Shui thought to herself with a smirk.

"So you're not quitting?" Wen Shui asked.

Sonoko Suzuki: "I've changed my plans. Instead of living in constant fear, I'd rather find a way to marry Ran so we can be together forever."

Wen Shui was stunned by Sonoko's plan: "No, you should take care of your gender first, okay? It's not that open here. It wouldn't be legally permissible, would it?"

“Who said I have to marry him?” Sonoko Suzuki’s lips curled up. “I can find someone that Ran and I both feel we can entrust our lives to, and then bring him into the Suzuki family as a son-in-law. That way, I can stay with Ran forever.”

"That kind of thing is even more fantastical, isn't it? It seems like it only happens in fantasy novels," Wen Shui couldn't help but complain.

"Haven't you heard the saying that reality is often more magical than fiction?" Sonoko Suzuki beckoned with her finger. "Warm Water, how about considering becoming a son-in-law of the Suzuki family? You can skip half a lifetime of hard work."

"Never mind, I still prefer a free and unrestrained life."

Despite Sonoko Suzuki's attempts to seduce him, Nukumizu did not fall for it.

He immediately saw through Sonoko Suzuki's scheme; if he agreed, she might use him as a weak point.

Sonoko Suzuki immediately put on a sour face, seemingly dissatisfied with Numizu's answer.

On the other hand, Wen Shui didn't seem to care much. But then again, if Suzuki Sonoko's plan could be put to good use, it might be good news for him.

Since Sonoko didn't say who the candidate was, as long as he works hard to become that candidate, putting aside Ran's situation for the time being, at least Sonoko has found a breakthrough.

As for how to satisfy both Sonoko and Ran, Wen Shui knew exactly what to do. After his transmigration, apart from Ai Haibara, the people he spent the most time with in his life were Ran and Sonoko.

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly noticed that Numizu was smiling maliciously, and couldn't help but poke him with her hand: "Hey, why are you making that weird face? I'll tell Ran if you're not careful."

"No, that..."

Warm water's gaze traveled down from Sonoko's sun-tanned, wheat-colored neck, past her collarbone covered in sweet beads of sweat, and then revealed the outline of her underwear beneath her semi-transparent leotard.

"Ah, pervert!" Sonoko Suzuki suddenly covered her body and turned to run away in a panic.

Her behavior made Wen Shui begin to doubt whether there was something wrong with the underlying logic of this world. She had a satisfied expression on her face when she was wiping her hands just now, so why did she run away shyly after being looked at?

Women are truly enigmatic creatures.

.

In the afternoon, after the club activities ended, Wen Shui and Xiao Lan went to the commercial district of Tokyo together.

To make up for her mistake at noon and to test Ran's attitude, Wen Shui offered to treat everyone to barbecue, but only for a small gathering of the Mori family.

Originally, Wen Shui had also invited Miss Sonoko, since she had wiped his hands at noon and kept saying that the Suzuran Detective Club would be together forever. It would be too much not to invite her now.

But unexpectedly, Sonoko Suzuki was dragged away by her mother to attend a dance party and couldn't come to eat with them.

Without Sonoko Suzuki accompanying them, Onami became a little bolder. Before going to the barbecue restaurant, she took Ran to an arcade, intending to strengthen their bond there.

Since the restaurant reservation is already made, Uncle Mori can just take Conan there after school.

Wen Shui and Xiao Lan walked into the arcade in the bustling city center of Tokyo. Although they didn't hold hands because of the crowd, anyone could tell from their expressions that they were a couple deeply in love.

This arcade is newly built and is said to have introduced many of the latest game machines. It is very popular. As soon as Wen Shui stepped into the door, her ears were filled with the noise, the sound of hitting the machines, and the sound effects of the game machines.

Xiaolan seemed a little uncomfortable in this environment and subconsciously moved closer to the warm water.

Wen Shui gently squeezed Xiao Lan's soft little hand to reassure her, then quickly let go. This way, she wouldn't put pressure on Xiao Lan while still conveying a sense of security.

Xiao Lan glanced at Wen Shui with a complicated expression. This man really knew how to take care of girls, and he was also very good at detective work. If he didn't secretly go to other women's cars to eat ice cream, he would be the perfect boyfriend candidate.

As she was thinking, Xiaolan's gaze passed over Wenshui's shoulder and she saw a woman wearing a hat in the crowd.

Strange, how did she end up here?

Xiao Lan began to mutter to herself.

Please take one day off.

I have some things to take care of, will update tomorrow or 2.

(Thank you everyone for your votes!)

Chapter 276: What started as a sweet date with Xiaolan turned into a brutal love triangle.

Xiao Lan didn't initially recognize the woman's identity. He just felt that the woman wearing a baseball cap and a baseball team uniform seemed to be peeking at Wen Shui, so he became suspicious.

Xiaolan soon noticed that the man with dyed yellow hair next to the woman looked familiar.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the person was Detective Takagi in disguise, because normally, men dressed like yakuza would have a ruthless air about them, but Detective Takagi appeared somewhat humble when facing the woman in the baseball cap.

This familiar, humble, and ingratiating manner made Xiaolan immediately see through the other person's identity.

So the woman who always casts suspicious glances at the warm water is almost certainly Sato Miwako, who is out in disguise to conduct reconnaissance.

Thanks, Detective Takagi! But your makeup skills still need improvement.

Ran silently wished Detective Takagi well, then prepared to leave with Wenshui.

"What's wrong? Did you see someone you know?" Wen Shui noticed that Xiao Lan was acting strangely and turned to look in the direction she was looking.

Xiaolan hugged Wenshui's neck tightly: "No, um... I just think it's a bit noisy here. How about we go to the dessert shop next door to rest for a while?"

Wen Shui looked at Xiao Lan with some doubt. Xiao Lan had just been very interested in playing video games, and there was a claw machine here where you could win a limited edition Bubble Dog plushie. Xiao Lan had just promised Suzuki Sonoko that she would help her win one.

Wen Shui thought for a moment and then suddenly realized: "It's okay, playing video games doesn't actually cost much. Just come with me."

Wen Shui thought that Xiao Lan had seen how big the place was and assumed it was expensive, so she suggested going to the dessert shop next door to avoid him spending too much money.

But Wen Shui wasn't worried about this at all. After all, he had Vermouth's financial support. Although taking Xiao Lan out on a date wasn't part of the mission, he was, after all, a member of the Black Organization, and it was an old tradition for him to use his public funds for personal gain.

Amuro Tooru was working four jobs and still stealing the Black Organization's salary; his level of embezzlement was nothing compared to that.

Moreover, if Vermouth knew that he brought Xiaolan out to play, she would probably think that he embezzled too little money, how could such a small amount of money be worthy of the most innocent and kind girl in the world, and whether he even knows how to pick up girls... and so on.

Xiao Lan felt somewhat guilty knowing that Wen Shui had misunderstood her.

Yes, Wen Shui's family is clearly not in a good financial situation, yet she hadn't thought of this before. Was it because she wanted to go on a date with Wen Shui too much?

Looking at Wen Shui's smiling face, Xiao Lan couldn't help but reach out and gently hug him.

While Wen Shui was pondering how to embezzle the Black Organization's operating funds, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Lan's tie was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a sweet milky fragrance, he was enveloped in Xiaolan's gentleness.

What the hell?

So, Xiaolan wasn't worried about his financial situation, but rather that she wanted him?

But isn't this a bit too daring?

Wen Shui couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Meanwhile, Sato Miwako, who hadn't originally planned to join in the fun, couldn't help but come over after seeing this scene.

The reason Miwako didn't greet them first was because she and Takagi were on a mission to conduct a disguised investigation to find the whereabouts of criminal suspects, and greeting acquaintances abruptly might be noticed by those with ulterior motives.
