Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

The proprietress Kitamura Kayo greeted us warmly and pointed inside the house, "Come in and sit down. We just happen to have hot tea."

Kinoshita Akiko smiled softly and took off her scarf while saying, "It's been cold lately and we wanted to come here to relax. The 'Legend of the Snow Woman' has brought you a lot of business."

The boss, Genbei, nodded with a proud smile: "Thanks to Miss Akiko, business is so good. Look, we have a distinguished guest today!"

"Oh? Are there other guests in this room?"

Akiko Kinoshita asked as she peered into the large room, curiosity in her tone.

"Yes, and he's a celebrity from Tokyo."

The boss kept the other person in suspense and scratched his head, unable to remember the other person's name for a moment, "What's his name? Ah..."

"Maori Kogoro."

The proprietress reminded me with a smile, looking relaxed.

"Yes! Maori Kogoro, the famous detective!"

The boss slapped his forehead vigorously, as if he had finally remembered, "Besides, he's quite handsome in person."

The moment they heard the name, Akiko Kinoshita and Yoko Asanuma were both stunned and exchanged incredible looks with each other.

"Maori Kogoro?"

Akiko Kinoshita repeated in a low voice, with a hint of shock in her tone.

Asanuma Yoko opened her eyes wide and lowered her voice and said, "He's a big shot in the Beidou Group... How could he be here?"

Who in the Tokyo entertainment industry doesn't know Kogoro Mori? His reputation is not limited to being a "famous detective", but he is also quite influential in high society because of his relationship with the Hokuto Group.

The two actresses quickly adjusted their clothes and looked a little nervous.

"Can we go meet him?"

Akiko Kinoshita asked the boss, her tone filled with cautious respect.

"Of course." The boss happily led the two of them to the big room.

Pushing the door open, the two actresses walked in.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Maoli sitting on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were also sitting nearby chatting, Haibara Ai was quietly fiddling with her phone, while Conan was huddled near the cupboard, a look of helplessness written all over his face.

Akiko Kinoshita's eyes were immediately attracted to Mori - the man's casual yet elegant posture made him look particularly charming.

"Ah...it's the Snow Girl!"

Xiaolan stood up suddenly and looked at Kinoshita Akiko with surprise, "I just saw you on TV!"

When Akiko Kinoshita saw someone recognized her, she gave a polite and elegant smile: "Hello. I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm Akiko Kinoshita, and this is my stand-in, Yoko Asanuma~ Nice to meet you all!"

Asanuma Yoko also saluted to Mori and his group.

"We just saw your Snow Woman performance on TV, it was amazing!"

Xiaolan praised sincerely.

Sonoko also came over, her tone full of excitement: "Ms. Akiko is even prettier in person than on TV!"

Maori glanced at Kinoshita Akiko calmly, with a calm smile on his face: "Are you here to take a hot spring bath?"

Kinoshita Akiko nodded slightly: "Yes. I originally just came here to relax, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Maori here. It's really a pleasant surprise."

Yoko Asanuma stood aside, secretly looking at Maori, seeming to be very curious about this legendary figure.

The proprietress, Kadai, brought in some hot tea and said to them with a smile, "Since we all know each other, let's have a cup of tea together, chat and relax."

Akiko Kinoshita and Yoko Asanuma sat on the tatami in the guest room. Although they felt a little nervous, when they saw Kogoro Mori's deep eyes, they inexplicably relaxed a lot.

They had thought that this famous Tokyo detective would be cold and difficult to get along with. After all, his reputation was well-known. He was not only a famous reasoning expert, but also had considerable influence in the entertainment industry.

However, the Maori before them completely broke their expectations.

He was wearing a homely kimono, leaning casually against the tatami, holding a teacup in his hand, looking relaxed and calm.

His voice was deep and rich, with a magnetic tone: "Is life in Tokyo very stressful? I feel tired sometimes, and this kind of place is quite suitable for relaxation."

Kinoshita Akiko smiled and said, "Do you feel tired too? I thought a busy man like Mr. Mori would be used to that pace."

Mao Li chuckled, with a hint of laziness in his eyes: "Busy people always have to find a chance to take a breath, otherwise how can they survive?"

Asanuma Yoko couldn't help but agree: "That's absolutely right, places like hot springs are really relaxing."

As the topic unfolded, Maori's erudite conversation gradually emerged.

Not only did he talk about the history of the hot spring B&B, he could also discuss the legend of the Snow Woman, as well as recent popular movies and interesting anecdotes from the entertainment industry.

"I've seen your movie 'Snow Woman' on TV. It's well made."

Mao Li smiled, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Ms. Kinoshita's performance in it was outstanding."

Kinoshita Akiko blushed when she heard the compliment and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, it was thanks to Ms. Asanuma's double that helped me complete some difficult scenes."

Asanuma Yoko smiled shyly: "I'm just doing some small things, as long as I can help Sister Mingzi."

The two did not expect that Mao Li was not only well-informed about the entertainment industry, but also humorous and humble.

As time went by, they gradually let go of their reservedness and instead found chatting with Maori very relaxing and enjoyable.

There was a kind of calm elegance in his words and deeds. The calmness and unique charm of a mature man deeply attracted them.

Before I knew it, it was already late.

Asanuma Yoko glanced at the wall clock casually: "Oh, it's already so late without me noticing."

Kinoshita Akiko also stood up and bowed slightly: "Mr. Maori, we will not disturb your rest. We will take our leave first."

Mao Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite. You are welcome to chat anytime."

Chapter 361: Snow Girl Appears in Hot Spring

The two men bowed slightly and then retreated one after the other.

As she walked out of the room, Asanuma Yoko couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Mr. Mori is such an unexpected man."

Akiko Kinoshita also nodded in agreement: "He is not only handsome, but also knowledgeable and talented. I don't feel distant from him at all when I am with him."

After returning to their room, the two looked at each other and gave each other meaningful smiles.

As they changed their clothes, they recalled their conversation with Maori and felt as if they had experienced a wonderful encounter.

"Sister Akiko, if it weren't for his reputation, I would think he was a gentle older brother." Asanuma Yoko laughed softly.

Kinoshita Akiko also chuckled: "But don't underestimate him. We can't afford to offend a man like him."

The two smiled at each other, tidied their clothes and prepared to rest.

……

After the two girls left, they saw the boss of Beicun happily bringing them midnight snacks.

The boss also smiled and said: "The hot springs here are unique, you can go and try it."

Mao Li's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hot springs? Great, I'm really exhausted from the journey."

Everyone agreed and prepared to go to the hot springs to relax.

Mao Li sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that it's not a mixed bath. It would be more lively if everyone bathed together."

When Xiaolan heard this, her face suddenly turned red and she muttered in a low voice: "If everyone wasn't here... I actually want to take a bath with Dad..."

Hearing this, Sonoko rolled her eyes and said jokingly, "If Mr. Maori wants to come to the ladies' hot spring, we don't mind~"

She narrowed her eyes and smiled wickedly.

"Hey, Gardener!" Xiao Yinglan was so anxious that she quickly pushed her father out, looking embarrassed, "Quan, don't always think about these messed up things!"

Sonoko laughed, obviously not intending to let her go so easily: "Hey, Xiaolan, don't be shy!"

Seeing this, Xiaolan felt both embarrassed and annoyed, and hurriedly pulled Yuanzi towards the ladies' hot spring, as if she would be betrayed by this bad friend if she stayed any longer.

……

Ladies spa.

The air is filled with mist, heat rises in the night, and the stone walls surround the hot spring pool, making it seem like a paradise.

Sonoko took off her yukata and jumped into the hot spring, sighing with pleasure: "Ah~ It feels so good!"

Xiaolan followed her and gradually relaxed, the shyness on her face being washed away by the warm spring water.

Haibara Ai walked in gracefully, yawned after soaking in the hot spring, and leaned lazily against the stone wall.

She glanced in the direction of the next door and said nonchalantly, "If that little brat Conan hadn't been following me, I would really like to go to the men's bath and bathe with Uncle Maori."

Xiaolan's eyes widened: "Habara?! How can you say such a thing! "

Huiyuan blinked calmly: "What's so strange? Uncle Maori is not an outsider."

Sonoko laughed out loud at the side: "Hahaha, I like your idea, Xiaoai! Xiaolan, why don't we call your dad to come over?"

"Yuanzi! Shut up!" Xiaolan's cheeks were burning with shame. She could only cover her face helplessly and bury herself in the hot spring to soak in the bubbles.

……

Men's spa.

Maori and Conan entered the men's bath, and the hot steam from the hot spring hit them in the face.

Maori sighed comfortably, unbuttoned his yukata, and shook his shoulders: "I'm really alive. This is relaxation."

Conan followed behind, and although he didn't react on the surface, he was also enjoying the comfort of the hot spring.

Looking at Mao Li's leisurely and contented look, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: This uncle is really an expert in enjoying life...

Maori soaked in the hot spring without a care in the world, feeling so comfortable that he even squinted his eyes.

The faint sounds of girls playing could be heard from the bamboo forest; it was clear that the atmosphere in the ladies' hot spring was very lively.

"Uncle Maori!" Suddenly, Yuanzi's clear voice came from the bamboo forest, "Would you like to come over to our place? You are welcome anytime~"

Mao Li snorted and laughed, then shook his head: "What a bold girl."

He also shouted over there: "Wait, I'll be there soon!"

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but complain: "You are really leisurely, Uncle Maori."

"It's called the art of living, kid."

Mao Li curled his lips slightly and soaked in the hot water with satisfaction, "Isn't this what life should be like - comfortable and free to do whatever you want."

With Maori's superior hearing, he could clearly hear the laughter and splashing sounds coming from the ladies' hot spring.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were playing in the water, while Haibara Ai watched coldly.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan! Are you really not going to let your father come over?"

Yuanzi teased.

"Shut up! Yuanzi!" Xiaolan was so embarrassed that she rushed over and tried to cover Yuanzi's mouth.

“Hahahaha! Help—”

Sonoko was laughing and dodging in the hot spring.

Maori listened to the noise here and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

By the way, the flowers in the garden are almost ripe, so I can find an opportunity to eat them.

Tomoko and Sonoko, both mother and daughter, have their own charms. If they could be together...

He gently closed his eyes and let the warm spring water wrap around his body.

At this moment, it seemed that only the tranquility of the hot springs and the quietness of the night were left in Maori's world.

The laughter on both sides of the bamboo forest and the comfort of the hot springs seemed to wash away all the worries.

……

The steam from the hot spring hung in the air. Xiaolan and Sonoko were playing by the pool. Their laughter was like bells, rippling in the silent night.

Yuanzi said with stars in her eyes: "Hey, Uncle Maori is so handsome. If I can become his woman, I will be so happy."

Xiaolan blushed and slapped Yuanzi: "Can you please stop talking nonsense! He is my father! Do you want to be my mother?"
