Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

"Why are you dressed like this? It's nothing like you at all," Wen Shui asked curiously.

Previously, Ai Haibara's clothing choices tended to be more mature and adult-oriented, because she is an adult herself and has a good understanding of fashion and dressing, which made her seem somewhat out of place among her peers.

However, Ai Haibara seems to have abandoned her usual style of dressing today.

Ai Haibara blushed, lowered her head, and said, "It's just a slight change in style, doesn't it look good?"

"I'm just a little unaccustomed to it." Wen Shui looked at her slightly shy appearance and gently buried her face in her soft, fluffy short hair. "But this is the first time I've seen Shiho like this. I think she's kind of cute."

Ai Haibara blushed even more and pinched Wen Shui's thigh hard with her small hands: "Don't call me Shiho, what if someone hears us and we're doomed?"

"There's no one here." As Wen Shui spoke, she shifted the focus to Ai Haibara's slender, snow-white nape, and said in a muffled voice, "So what do you want me to call you?"

Ai Haibara shrank back, hurriedly broke free from Wen Shui's embrace, and returned to her seat opposite the Ferris wheel.

Ai Haibara's cheeks flushed slightly as she glared at Wen Shui and said, "Aren't you afraid that Ran will see this and throw you off the Ferris wheel?"

Wen Shui gazed at her tenderly: "Don't be afraid, I believe you will definitely make the most amazing parachute in the world and save me."

"You're mistaken. I'll just tie bricks to you to make you fall even faster," Ai Haibara said sternly.

Wen Shui looked completely innocent: "Huh? That's so cruel."

Ai Haibara couldn't help but laugh as she watched Wen Shui deliberately act silly: "Alright, since you've been very obedient today, I'll reward you a little."

As she spoke, Ai Haibara took off her left red leather shoe and gently placed her delicate little foot on her warm legs.

Her feet were very small, making her look quite young.

Fair, almost translucent skin naturally evokes a protective instinct, while neatly trimmed toenails reflect a dazzling light when exposed to sunlight.

Wen Shui subconsciously sniffed, and a faint scent of leather and soft milk entered her nasal cavity.

It's a scent that only Ai Haibara has.

However, Wen Shui was caught off guard by the unexpected surprise and was momentarily at a loss for words.

While he was still in a daze, Ai Haibara added quietly, "I... I took a shower this morning, so a little kiss won't be too dirty."

Wen Shui then came to his senses. He turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window. They were currently at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, with a panoramic view of the Dorobiga Amusement Park.

Cotton candy-white clouds floated in the azure sky, and the sun shone with warm and comforting light.

The scenery here is reminiscent of the ending of a fairy tale, which brings a sense of peace to the viewer.

"No, in such a romantic setting, how could you do something so inappropriate to a girl's legs? That would be such a spoilsport." Wen Shui righteously rejected Ai Haibara's suggestion.

Ai Haibara looked at the warm water with a surprised expression.

She thought Wen Shui had finally begun to understand the romance that girls wanted, but unexpectedly, Wen Shui said something that surprised her.

"Let's kiss when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point!"

Chapter 312 We still don't know what happened on the Ferris wheel that day.

"Ran, look, there are people kissing over there!" Kazuha Toyama said, pointing to the Ferris wheel basket above their heads.

Xiao Lan shielded her eyes from the glaring sunlight coming from the side and looked through the glass towards the distant mountains and the direction Ye Zhi pointed. Sure enough, she saw a young couple who looked about their age, passionately kissing in the sunlight.

"How romantic! It reminds me of a novel I read before, where the female protagonist had a terminal illness and, before she died, confessed her love to the boy who had always secretly loved her on a Ferris wheel." Xiaolan recalled the plot of the novel with a look of longing.

Kazuha Toyama: "Huh? There's such a plot? Did you successfully confess your feelings in the end?"

"Later, the Ferris wheel turned into a monster, and the male protagonist awakened superpowers and began to save the world," Xiaolan said.

Kazuha Toyama's face darkened: "Wow, this is quite an unconventional plot. I'm starting to want to read the novel myself."

"I think that book is with Sonoko. I'll get it for you when you get back." Xiaolan smiled. "The later part of the story is quite interesting. The female lead didn't die because she awakened her superpowers."

"Okay." Kazuha Toyama nodded, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "By the way, Ran, have you ever kissed Nukumizu-kun?"

Xiaolan was startled, and two alluring blushes appeared on her face: "Well... I, I try it occasionally, but it's always him who takes the initiative."

Ran was too embarrassed to tell Kazuha the truth about their relationship. She felt that it might scare the innocent Kazuha, and if Kazuha thought of her as a bad girl and stopped being her friend, she would be doomed.

Kazuha Toyama was indeed taken aback: "Occasionally? So you two have reached the point where you kiss frequently?!"

"No, I already said it's only occasional," Xiaolan quickly explained. "It's just that we might get a little more intimate on very important holidays or occasions."

Kazuha Toyama looked at Ran with admiration: "Wow, that's amazing. I thought you were the kind of person who wouldn't kiss your husband until your wedding day."

Xiaolan thought to herself, "I used to be like that, but then I was corrupted by that guy Wenshui."

However, she said, "It's okay to enjoy the feeling of youth a little. By the way, what about you and Heiji?"

"I have nothing to do with that bastard. I was only forced to get to know him because my dad and Uncle Hattori are old friends." Toyama Kazuha still looked angry.

Xiaolan smiled, but didn't expose Toyama Kazuha's thoughts.

Xiaolan could tell that the two of them definitely had feelings for each other, but the feelings weren't that strong, and ultimately, it was a decision about love that they had to make themselves.

Just like six months ago, before she met Wen Shui, she was thinking about going to Dorobiga Amusement Park with Shinichi.

However, just six months later, she started scrubbing her back with warm water in her own bathroom, leaving stains all over the walls.

Such a bold development—if Xiaolan traveled back in time and told her half-year-old self, she would probably think she was crazy.

But the truth is, after the warm water appeared, everything progressed slowly and naturally, and before Xiaolan knew it, it had developed to a point that would surprise her when she looked back.

Perhaps this is what they call the push of fate, Xiaolan thought to herself.

At that moment, Toyama Kazuha suddenly seemed to realize something: "Oh no, this is terrible!"

"What's wrong? Did you forget your phone when you bought the drinks?" Xiaolan asked anxiously.

Kazuha Toyama shook her head apologetically: "If I had known that you and Wenshui-kun had progressed to that point, I shouldn't have come to join in. If I hadn't shared a gondola with you, you two would probably be kissing on the Ferris wheel above us by now, right?"

Xiaolan had actually thought about this earlier, but she had plenty of time to come here with Wenshui in the future, so she wasn't in a hurry: "It's okay, we live close by, and Wenshui will bring me here to play whenever he has time. He's much gentler than Shinichi in that respect."

“Yeah, when it comes to dating girls, Wen Shui-kun really doesn’t act like a detective at all,” Toyama Kazuha said.

Xiaolan: "Okay, let's take a picture to remember this moment."

As she spoke, Xiaolan took out her phone from her bag and leaned over to squeeze into the same screen as Toyama Kazuha.

Girls are very enthusiastic about taking photos. Even with a phone with low resolution, they can still strike many different poses.

Just as Ran was immersed in the atmosphere of taking photos, Toyama Kazuha suddenly said something surprising:

"How about we kiss too?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan was startled. "This...this won't do, we're all girls..."

Kazuha Toyama blinked: "But I always feel a little guilty. Such a beautiful view, yet it caused you and Numizu-kun to break up."

"I told you it's okay, don't worry about it." Xiaolan smiled, but her gaze couldn't help but drift to Toyama Kazuha's lips.

Would Onamizu prefer Kazuha's lip shape?

Ran couldn't help but start having wild thoughts, but her actions caused Toyama Kazuha to misunderstand her meaning, and she gently raised her chin.

Just then, a gust of wind blew from the side, causing the Ferris wheel gondola, suspended dozens of meters in the air, to sway violently.

.

A dozen minutes later, the Ferris wheel slowly rotated a full circle, and tourists disembarked one by one.

Wen Shui and his group stood next to the crowd queuing to ride the Ferris wheel.

Of the group of three girls, apart from Ayumi, they all blushed and stared at their toes without saying a word.

I can understand Ai Haibara's state, after all, he smeared her face with saliva on the Ferris wheel earlier, but what's going on with Ran and Kazuha Toyama?

Was it because you saw the couple being affectionate in the hanging basket next door that you blushed?

But then Wen Shui thought again, something wasn't right. Yuanshan Kazuha might still be able to act shy because he didn't have this kind of experience, but Xiaolan had recently been made to be used to this kind of thing by him.

Wen Shui was completely baffled. Later, while visiting the amusement park, he secretly asked Xiao Lan about it, but Xiao Lan remained tight-lipped and didn't say what had happened on the Ferris wheel.

During their visit to the Dorobiga amusement park, Ran and Toyama Kazuha would occasionally exchange glances, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.

In addition, Ai Haibara, who was given special care by Wen Shui, has become much more obedient.

Of course, this kind of obedience is not the kind of obedience that Ayumi and Genta and the other kids have, but rather the kind of obedient and docile girl who tries her best to show her girlfriend power in front of the person she likes.

We had lunch at a restaurant near Dorobiga amusement park.

During the meal, Ai Haibara remained very considerate, even serving food to Wen Shui. Even when she saw Ran and Wen Shui exchanging glances, she didn't get angry or upset like before.

Instead, she quietly showed her thoughtfulness and care for the warm water.

Unaware of the situation, Kazuha Toyama even joked: "Ai is just like a wife who's always warm!"

These words immediately made Ai Haibara blush deeply, and also caught Ran's attention and alertness, who began to ask Ai if she had a crush on any boys at Teitan High School.

Then Ai Haibara bluntly stated at the dinner table that she wanted to marry Wen Shui when she grew up.

The Osaka duo and the kids in the Junior Detective League all took that as a joke.

Of those present, only Wen Shui, Xiao Lan, and Conan were lost in thought.

Ran was worried that Ai Haibara, being too young, might be attracted to Nuku's charm. In addition, Nuku sometimes acted recklessly, and it would be troublesome if she did something that would lead to her being taken away by the police for investigation.

Conan, on the other hand, is hoping that Ai Haibara will quickly develop an antidote for APTX-4869 so that she can quickly return to Sherry and join the battle for the warm water.

Whether it's defeating Ran and taking Wenshui away, or delaying the time for Wenshui and Ran's relationship to develop, it's the best thing for Conan.

As for Wen Shui, she was somewhat surprised by the romantic kiss on the Ferris wheel earlier. Was the effect really that obvious?

It seems I need to find a way to contact Vermouth and get her to finalize the castle matter.

After a simple lunch, Wenshui and the others went to explore some fun places in Beika Shopping Street in the afternoon, showing the Osaka duo the local customs and culture of Beika Town.

In the evening, Ran received a call from Uncle Mori, who said he had returned from Beika Town and asked how the barbecue dinner went.

Heiji Hattori had already made reservations at the restaurant. After all, the Mori family and Nukumizu had gone to great lengths to save him yesterday, so it was only right that he thanked them.

When Wenshui and his group arrived at the restaurant, Kogoro Mouri was already waiting at the door.

"Dad, you look terrible. Did you not get enough sleep during the day?" Ran asked with some concern as she looked at Kogoro Mouri's face.

Kogoro Mouri: "I was asleep, on my way back from Beika."

"Are you sure you're alright? You should drink less later." Xiaolan asked with some concern.

Kogoro Mouri patted his chest and said, "It's okay. Your dad used to be a detective. Staying up all night won't cause any problems."
