Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

However, Xiaolan was not fooled this time. She used brute force to snatch the warm water blanket away and then went to the window and opened it.

It rained last night, and the air was still a bit chilly this morning.

The warm water, cooled by the cold wind, dissipated most of the heat in my heart.

He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and said with a wronged expression, "Sister Xiaolan, you are so cruel."

"Don't talk like Conan!" Ran said, both amused and exasperated, as she began to fold the blanket she had snatched.

With a change in tone from his usual manner, Kogoro Mouri stuck out his tongue and said, "Ran, I work so hard all the time, what's wrong with sleeping in a little?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Uncle Mori appeared at the door like a ghost, his face covered in dark circles: "Why are you imitating me, kid? It's weird. I'm starting to worry about letting Ran date you."

"No, I was just kidding."

Warm water was startled by Kogoro Mouri's state.

What the heck? Could this uncle have stayed up all night just to watch over him and prevent him from touching Xiaolan inappropriately?

But last night when he was taking a shower, Kogoro Mouri had already fallen asleep from being drunk and missed the most exciting part.

Last night in the bathroom, after Xiaolan finished scrubbing his back, she insisted on using warm water and ended up getting shower gel everywhere.

After a long time of cleaning, Uncle Mori finally woke up to the sound of Yoko Okino's song playing on the TV.

Xiaolan put the bedding into the closet a little guilty, then coughed and said, "Dad, why don't you eat breakfast and take a nap before going to Beihu Town?"

"It's okay, I'll come back and sleep this afternoon." Kogoro Mouri said while brushing his teeth. His gaze towards Wen Shui was clearly unfriendly, probably because he felt that if Wen Shui hadn't come over with ill intentions in the middle of the night, he wouldn't have had to stay up all night watching over Ran.

After being disturbed by Kogoro Mouri, Wen Shui's evil thoughts had long since vanished. Perhaps because she had lost a lot of energy last night, Wen Shui was extremely hungry.

He really wanted to have a big meal right away to replenish some of the energy he had lost.

Breakfast was a fusion of Chinese and Japanese styles, as always. With Conan gone, Ran could make one less serving, so she quickly laid out a sumptuous meal on the living room table.

Kogoro Mouri, probably because he had stayed up all night, was also starving, and he and Nukumi ate all the food on the table.

After Ran finished cleaning up the dishes, Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama arrived at the hotel where the Mouri Detective Agency was located. Breakfast was served that morning, so the two of them had already eaten before coming over.

Heiji Hattori yawned, the bandage on his head not being removed for several more days, so he had to cover it with a baseball cap.

Kazuha Toyama was dressed in a sweet outfit today, looking youthful and charming, which made Wen Shui take a second look. Then his gaze was blocked by Heiji Hattori: "Where's that brat Conan? Isn't he with us today?"

Xiaolan: "They said it was because of the sneaking out yesterday that I was punished by the Junior Detective League and I have to do community service at school today."

"Community, voluntary labor?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding why Kudo was being punished by those kids and had to do voluntary labor at school.

Wen Shui explained, "It seems that Genta and Ayumi broke the statue in the art room last week, so they were punished by having to clean it during their day off. They probably dragged Conan along with them."

"That's really tragic," Hattori Heiji said with a look of sympathy.

However, Heiji Hattori was actually a little relieved that Conan didn't come. He was really afraid that the kid would bring up the sensitive topic of his kidnapping the day before at the amusement park.

In contrast, Wen Shui was much more sensible and wouldn't actively use this topic to hurt his self-esteem.

The only downside was that the way Numizu looked at Kazuha made Hattori Heiji a little uneasy.

Damn it, can't these two combine their strengths?

"People in Tokyo are really unreliable," Hattori Heiji thought to himself.

.

When we arrived at Dorobiga Amusement Park, it was already past nine in the morning.

Xiaolan proactively bought tickets for the two friends from Osaka who had come all the way from afar, and even made a reservation at a restaurant for lunch. Although Xiaolan doesn't usually have much pocket money, she is very generous to her friends.

Of course, how much of that money came from Uncle Mori's drinks is unknown.

Just after Wen Shui and her group finished getting their tickets checked, and before they had even left the gate area, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind them:

"Sister Xiaolan, wait a minute, can you buy me a ticket too?"

Wen Shui turned around and saw a little boy in a blue suit with a skateboard tucked under his arm standing outside the gate, waving in their direction.

Ran was also startled: "Conan? What are you doing here?"

"Well... it's a long story." Conan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Anyway, today's voluntary work was canceled. I heard you guys came here to have fun, so I came along."

Ran didn't think much of it and bought Conan another ticket.

While Ran was negotiating with the staff, Wen Shui couldn't help but ask Conan, "Aren't you worried that Genta and the others will cut your body into five pieces and keep it if you sneak away for two days in a row?"

"W-How is that possible? Brother Wen Shui, you're too much of a joker... Huh?" Conan suddenly paused, "Why are they divided into 5 parts? The Junior Detective League only has 4 people."

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Because I also want to keep a copy. The thought that I might not be able to see you, my naughty little devil, in the future makes me feel quite sad."

"That won't happen! Brother Wen Shui, if you keep scaring the kids, I'll tell Sister Xiao Lan!" Conan stomped his feet angrily.

At this moment, Kazuha Toyama said to Heiji Hattori, "Conan and Nukumizu have a good relationship. It feels like he has some kind of magic that can attract older brothers who are much older than him."

Hattori Heiji looked suspicious, somewhat unable to understand Kudo's thoughts.

Conan and he are on good terms because he knows Conan's true identity. The two talk to each other as adults in private, but Nuku clearly doesn't know Conan's identity.

Moreover, when these two interact, Conan seems to be acting a bit coquettish.

I have a feeling...

Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment, then a thought flashed through his mind: That's right, it felt like a father taking his son out for a trip, but not the kind of father and son with a particularly good relationship.

I feel like Wen Shui is more like Conan's stepfather.

Hattori Heiji never expected that he would guess the truth so easily. It has to be said that, at least this time, his detective's keen sense of smell outperformed Kudo Shinichi, who was caught in the middle of the situation without even realizing it.

After buying the tickets, Wen Shui held Ran's hand with her left hand and Conan's hand with her right hand as they walked into the Dorobiga Amusement Park.

Although Conan was somewhat reluctant about Wen Shui and Ran holding hands, he couldn't resist Wen Shui's repeated attempts to break down his psychological defenses.

Over time, Conan became numb to such trivial things as holding hands.

Anyway, as long as Wen Shui doesn't do anything too outrageous to Ran, Conan feels he can accept it, since his body has shrunk.

At this point, Conan was unaware that once a person crosses the line, they will gradually slide into the abyss, and may not even realize that there is any problem in the process.

After wandering around Dorobiga Amusement Park twice and playing a few fun rides, everyone went to a stall in the middle of the park to buy water.

As a result, I saw three little devils with dark faces in front of the stall, and a little girl with short brown hair and a calm expression.

Conan froze on the spot.

Wen Shui whispered to him, "It's over. Looks like you won't even have a chance to be dismembered. Yuan Tai's eyes look like he wants to devour you."

Conan rolled his eyes, then ran over with a forced smile to apologize to the Junior Detective League.

Of course, the Junior Detective League wouldn't let Conan off so easily. However, attracted by all the fun things at the amusement park, they decided to let Conan go for now and deal with him later that night.

While Conan was being criticized, Ai Haibara walked up to Nukami with her hands behind her back and said calmly, "I'm so sorry to have interrupted your date."

"I bet it was you who brought those kids here, right?" Wen Shui couldn't help but complain.

Ai Haibara smiled sweetly: "You guessed it! You're so amazing, Wen Shui-nii!"

Wen Shui was speechless.

He had originally planned to kiss Ran at the highest point of the Ferris wheel and take a picture as a souvenir, but with Ai Haibara here, that opportunity probably won't be fulfilled.

Ai Haibara is not as naive as Ran. This woman grew up in the Black Organization and is much more perceptive than Ran.

And so, Wen Shui and her group gained another group of little followers.

While riding the Ferris wheel, the Osaka duo got into another argument. Judging from Hattori Heiji's expression, Nukumizu probably wanted to do something on the Ferris wheel.

However, he couldn't express himself, which angered Kazuha Toyama.

Finally, Ran and Kazuha rode the Ferris wheel together, while Heiji Hattori took Conan along.

Logically, the remaining four members of the Junior Detective League could be divided into two groups, but Ai Haibara used her feigned crying skills again and successfully snatched the lukewarm water to be in her group.

Genta Kojima had to ride the Ferris wheel with another stranger, and he didn't seem very happy.

Wen Shui didn't waste this opportunity. After getting on the Ferris wheel, she took out her camera and wanted to take some photos with Ai Haibara as souvenirs.

This guy has been researching an antidote for aptX-4869 lately; maybe one day he'll figure it out and turn back into Sherry.

In other words, Ai Haibara's current skin can be considered a "story-limited edition skin".

If you don't cherish it, you may never have another chance in this lifetime.

Ai Haibara didn't resist Wen Shui's actions much, but she wasn't good at expressing her feelings. With her tense little face, at first glance, it looked like Wen Shui had kidnapped her.

Wen Shui put down her phone and said helplessly, "I said you should at least change your expression. You looked quite convincing pretending to cry and act like a child just now."

"I'm not a real child, why should I pretend?" Ai Haibara snorted. "Besides, don't you think it's a bit strange that you have to pretend you don't know my true identity in front of outsiders?"

Wen Shui frowned slightly. Was Ai Haibara going through another emo phase?

I just had a video call with Akemi Miyano a while ago, so I should be in a good mood.

Could it be that Ai has been spending too much time with Mrs. Kudo and Ran lately, neglecting her and causing her to feel uneasy?

Wenshui sighed, "Alright, let's just treat it as a normal date then, Shiho."

The change in address from "Warm Water" made Ai Haibara's shoulders tremble slightly, perhaps because it brought back some unpleasant memories.

Wen Shui reached out and picked up Ai Haibara from the seat opposite the Ferris wheel, gently placing her on his lap. Her body was very light, small like a young lion.

Soft, brown short hair pressed against her chin, which was covered in warm water, and a gentle scent of shampoo wafted into her nostrils.

"Didn't I tell you not to treat me like a child?" Ai Haibara said, her expression displeased.

Warm Water: "But lovers sometimes do that too, like lying in their boyfriend's arms."

Ai Haibara stared blankly into space: "Who, who is your girlfriend? Stop dreaming. Have you forgotten the contract you signed with me? I am your master."

"There was no contract at all, we're clearly partners," Wen Shui couldn't help but complain.

“That’s what a partner means.” Ai Haibara sat on Wen Shui’s lap, raising her small face to argue her point.

Looking at Ai's delicate skin so close to hers, Wen Shui suddenly lost the urge to argue with Ai Haibara. Why did she feel that Ai was even cuter than before?

After examining the warm water thoroughly, the cause was quickly identified.

It turns out that Ai Haibara's outfit today is quite different from her usual style. She wore a light yellow puff-sleeved dress, which dispelled her usual coldness and made her look exceptionally sweet and cute.

Her slender, white legs dangled in mid-air, and her fair, soft feet were encased in a pair of small red leather shoes.

Wen Shui suddenly realized that these shoes seemed to be a style that Bu Mei often liked to wear. Wen Shui had seen them many times, so she had a preconceived notion.
