Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

A feeling of lightness throughout the body.

The girl in the mirror was only wearing a pleated skirt and black knee-high stockings.

Her flawless, snow-white skin was exposed to the air.

Ai Haibara's skin is really fair, the kind of cool white skin that European and American women have, while also having the delicate touch that comes with Asian blood, combined with her excessively graceful and amazing curves.

In the words of her older sister Akemi, Shiho could make any man in the world go crazy for her even if she didn't say a word.

Ai Haibara leaned closer to the mirror and focused her gaze on Usagi-chan.

Then she was immediately filled with rage. Just as she had thought, the injury from being hit by the door was much more serious than she had imagined.

Usagi-chan's nose tip is sunken, making the two sides look very asymmetrical in the mirror.

Ai Haibara frowned slightly and tried to adjust it with her slender fingertips, but unfortunately, just like an elastic foam earplug, it quickly returned to its asymmetrical state.

"That bastard Wen Shui and Shu..."

Ai Haibara's forehead bulged with veins in a grid pattern, and she felt a little uneasy.

Because when she was with her older sister, Akemi Miyano, Akemi Miyano often teased her about her figure.

They would make jokes like, "I wonder which man will end up with her?" or "I'm so envious of Shiho's figure!"

Although Ai Haibara knew very well that as a member of the Black Organization, she would never meet someone she could entrust her life to, she didn't want to cause trouble for unrelated people.

So having a great figure is useless.

But a young girl's heart will inevitably retain a faint glimmer of expectation deep within.

As a result, that bastard Wenshui directly destroyed this wonderful possibility.

Even though only half of it was damaged, it makes things even harder to explain, doesn't it?

Even if she is lucky enough to leave the organization and meet a suitable person, the other party will probably misunderstand that she has had a disgraceful past.

Ai Haibara grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she decided to go and settle accounts with Nuwa and Kazuki.

However, after taking only two steps towards the door, Ai Haibara suddenly realized that she wasn't dressed yet. If she went out wearing only a short skirt and stockings, it would definitely cause a commotion.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ai Haibara took a deep breath and adjusted her tone to be relatively calm: "Who is it?"

"It's me. Are you alright? I brought you some pastries that Ayako-nee made." The culprit's voice came from outside the door.

Ai Haibara said irritably, "Take it away, I'm not eating it."

"Oh."

The warm water and trees outside responded, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning.

Ai Haibara was shocked and, dragging Usagi-chan along, slammed into the door that had been slightly ajar, exclaiming in anger and shock, "Are you crazy? Didn't I say I wasn't going to eat this?"

Wen Shui: "I thought you meant 'Hurry up and bring it to me!'"

"Who would express it like that? You bastard!" Ai Haibara roared through the door like an angry little lion.

Due to excessive blood flow caused by her anger, Usagi-chan once again revealed her usual sharp gaze.

Wen Shui was also a little unhappy and retorted, "Of course it's you, Haibara-san, who always likes to say the opposite of what you mean!"

Ai Haibara was speechless.

Because Wen Shui was right, she did sometimes say the opposite of what she meant.

But isn't that how good friends interact? She just keeps a cold face and doesn't say a word to others, and Wen Shui always seems to enjoy it.

Just then, another boy's voice came from outside the door: "Are you Sonoko's classmate? What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"

Holding a cup of warm water and some snacks, I looked in the direction of the sound.

Near the door of the room close to the staircase stood a handsome man wearing a green headscarf, who also had long hair.

The name Ota Masaru immediately popped into Wen Shui's mind.

It seems to be the lead actress in Ayako Suzuki's university club.

Wen Shui smiled and shook her head: "No, it's my colleagues from the Literature Department. I woke up late this morning and they've been sulking ever since."

“Sometimes you have to be a little assertive with women,” Ota Katsumi said with a smile as he walked over.

"I can't handle her. I'm afraid the person in this world who can handle her hasn't been born yet?" Wen Shui smiled, making a slightly sarcastic remark about Ai Haibara.

Ota Katsu looked nostalgic: "But I really miss it. This kind of relationship where you get angry over small things and then make up by treating the other person to a bowl of ramen is something you can probably only experience during your student days."

Ota Masaru found that Onami was very handsome, which reminded him of himself when he was young, so he chatted with him for a while longer.

As for Wen Shui, although he really wanted to ask about Amuro Tooru, since Amuro was Suzuki Ayako's classmate, he could only chat with him for a few minutes.

While the two were talking, Ai Haibara used her fingers to type Morse code for Nuwa through the door: "Make him leave! Make him leave..."

Wen Shui was speechless for a moment.

I don't understand why this woman insisted on eavesdropping at the door. Why didn't you just open the door and end the conversation?

At this moment, Wen Shui was unaware that Ai Haibara was still in shock because she had almost been exposed by the "door-opening kill" and her mind hadn't processed what had just happened.

She instinctively felt safer by holding the door shut with her hand, even forgetting that the door could be locked from the inside.

But Ai Haibara soon realized that she was only wearing a short skirt and listening to two men talking through the door seemed a little strange!

Her face flushed bright red, and her body temperature rose rapidly.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ota Masaru finished his conversation with Nukumizu and went downstairs to have some snacks.

Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Shui said through the door, "Okay, stop knocking. Open the door quickly. I have something important to tell you."

"okay."

Because Wen Shui's tone was very serious, the same tone he used when discussing the Black Organization, Ai Haibara lowered her guard and directly turned the doorknob with her hand.

Then Wen Shui discovered a holy light appearing before her eyes.

Chapter 35 Ai's Revenge is a Battlefield

The door was opened about thirty centimeters before Ai Haibara quickly closed it.

The heavy slam of the door echoed down the corridor.

Wen Shui could faintly hear Ai Haibara's rapid heartbeat behind the door.

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, Wen Shui still saw a holy light appear before him.

The pure white flowers, exposed to the air, seemed like a divine miracle descending from heaven, making one want to throw oneself into the embrace of the Virgin Mary to dispel all worldly troubles.

But... why is that?

If she wanted to seduce him, she should at least wait until nighttime when no one was around, right? And judging from her stunned expression at the time, she didn't seem to have that kind of idea.

Honestly, this woman has been acting strangely ever since earlier.

Although she didn't know what Ai Haibara was thinking, Nuku Shui, with her keen detective instincts, judged that it might be dangerous to stay there any longer.

After regaining his senses, he picked up his tray and turned to walk downstairs.

As soon as she turned around, the door behind her opened, and a slender, fair arm reached out from the room and accurately grabbed Wen Shui's neck.

"Wait a minute, don't spill the tea!"

Ignoring Wen Shui's warning, Ai Haibara roughly pulled him into the room and then locked the door.

The warm water stabilized the teapot on the plate. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Ai Haibara had already changed her clothes, and a slightly sheer white shirt hugged her graceful curves.

The holy light, which was full of sacredness, disappeared.

"What's with that regretful look on your face?" Ai Haibara asked, her expression unfriendly.

Wen Shui first placed the plate on the bedside table, then sat directly between the two single beds: "I thought you were going to kill me to silence me."

Why kill them off?

Ai Haibara also came over and sat on the bed opposite him, her expression appearing relatively calm.

Wen Shui looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you come here to talk to me about serious business?" Ai Haibara smiled calmly and brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "I was just using my computer to hack into the Metropolitan Police Department's database to retrieve the list of victims of the Slit-Mouthed Woman. I was worried about being seen by outsiders, which is why I didn't open the door."

To protect the victims, the identities of all those previously attacked by the Slit-Mouthed Woman have not been released.

Wen Shui and the others only knew the name of the girl who was murdered in the park, and that was only because they were eyewitnesses.

Finding a list of victims and identifying commonalities among them could be very helpful in solving the case.

Wen Shui glanced at the laptop on the bed; strange code was indeed flashing rapidly on the screen.

However, although you appeared very calm, the logic behind your explanation was quite reasonable.

But where did the missing "baptism of holy light" go?

Wen Shui clearly saw through the crack in the door the shy expression on Tu Mei Jiang's face when she looked at him!

How dare you erase my memories without my permission?!

The warm water was slightly insufficient.

However, the unspoken understanding between adults led Wen Shui not to pursue the matter further, but instead to cooperate with Ai Haibara and pretend that nothing had happened.

After all, the two are currently just business partners, and with the Black Organization looming over them, they don't yet have the right to enjoy love.

Moreover, judging from Ai Haibara's panicked reaction at the time, it was most likely just a misunderstanding.

Continuing to dwell on this topic makes it seem like they're eager to be a sycophant.

However, on the other hand, if she were really willing to send Usagi-chan over as a hostage, Wen Shui might consider helping her fight against the Black Organization.

Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Numi was cooperating with her acting so sensibly.

She had thought she would have to use a lot of words, but the kid turned out to be quite perceptive. Ai Haibara's gaze towards the warm water softened.

"By the way, what brings you here?" Ai Haibara changed the subject.

Wen Shui: "Bourbon has also come to the villa. He's the chef hired by Ayako Suzuki. Did you know that?"
