So they were all secretly giving these two girls advice!
"In that case——"
"Then I'm not welcome!"
...
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Sonoko lay face down on the bed.
It kicked its calves restlessly.
Her brown hair looked a little longer.
Because she noticed that Natsume seemed to prefer girls with long hair, she has recently started growing her hair long.
Xia Ye was still sleeping soundly beside him, and his handsome face, devoid of its usual expressions, even looked somewhat adorably dazed.
Sonoko gently poked his cheek with her slender fingers, her eyes filled with a tenderness she hadn't shown in her earlier teenage years—of course—
And her usual charming and mischievous personality~
In short, it seems like things have changed, but it also seems like nothing has changed.
"He's still so handsome even when he's asleep~"
Sonoko's pretty face beamed with a happy smile, and she pinched Natsume's nose again, like a child who had found a strange toy.
"Garden~"
Xiaolan's voice came from the living room~
"I ordered breakfast—"
"Come out and help me set this up~"
"coming!"
Sonoko responded and got off the bed. After taking two steps, she turned back and gave Natsume a quick kiss on the cheek, her face flushed as she giggled, "Having a boyfriend who knows medicine is really great! I don't feel anything strange when we move around, hehe~"
"Garden!"
"I'm coming!"
Sonoko opened the bedroom door and went out.
"You brat, have some shame!" Xiao Lan saw her come out and immediately looked speechless, scolding her in a coquettish tone, "You're such a big girl, running around in your underwear in broad daylight, can't you be a little more mindful of your image?!"
"Oh, it's okay~" Sonoko didn't care at all. She pointed out the window and said with a grin, "Ran, look, the Izu Hotel is the tallest building in this area, and we're at the highest point of the hotel. Nobody can see us here!"
"As for you and Xia Ye, that's none of my business~"
"Besides—"
"My lingerie isn't as sexy as my bikini!"
"Xiao Lan, what's all the fuss about?"
"I can't be bothered with you~"
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at her best friend and confidante, then laid out the lavish breakfast on the table, muttering with some regret, "Once it's all set, I can call Xia Ye for breakfast. It's a shame such a big hotel doesn't have Chinese breakfast; otherwise, I could order some steamed buns and fried dough sticks for Xia Ye~"
"Ran, you're such a good wife and mother!" Sonoko noticed that Ran's demeanor seemed to have changed somewhat; simply put, she looked more like a cute, newlywed wife preparing breakfast for her husband.
"really?"
Xiaolan touched her cheek. She did indeed think that way, but—
Was it really that obvious?
"of course!"
Yuanzi nodded vigorously.
Xiaolan was wearing Xia Ye's T-shirt. Given Xia Ye's figure, his clothes were naturally very loose on Xiaolan. The hem of the T-shirt covered her hips, and the neckline drooped to one shoulder, revealing her round, fair shoulder, making her look inexplicably sexy.
Because I just woke up.
Her originally loose, long black hair was tied up at the ends with a hair tie, giving her the hairstyle of a beautiful married woman from an anime.
Her originally pure and lovely face was now adorned with a gentle smile, as if it were glowing.
That was a maternal glow.
"Huh huh huh~"
Hearing her best friend's praise, Xiaolan happily hummed a cheerful tune and casually stuffed a piece of sushi into Sonoko's mouth as a reward.
Sonoko pouted, chewed for a while, and swallowed the sushi. Suddenly, she remembered something, glanced around furtively, and asked in a low voice with a flushed face, "By the way, Ran, where did that thing go? Did you put it away?"
"..."
Xiaolan paused for a moment.
"what happened?"
"Um—" Xiaolan bit her pink lips lightly, her beautiful eyes blushing, and finally lowered her voice to say:
"Sonoko, you were asleep and didn't know, but after that I saw Natsume put that thing away in his inventory..."
"..." Sonoko was a little dumbfounded:
"It's...into your inventory? Does that mean when I take it out next time, it'll still look the same as it did last night?!"
"Xiao Lan, why didn't you snatch it?"
"I'm out of strength, you idiot!"
Xiao Lan was speechless. Did this brat think I didn't want to?
Even just thinking about those embarrassing things with Xia Ye makes me blush!
"Forget it~" Sonoko said, giving up in despair, "That thing is, after all, Xia Ye's spoils and collection. He's probably very proud of it. Even if we asked him for it, he probably wouldn't give it back to us~"
"As long as you know!"
Xiao Lan had already figured it out. They couldn't access Xia Ye's inventory anyway, so what could they do?
"By the way, have you checked the log information?"
"Not yet, I'll check right now~"
Sonoko opened her journal as she spoke, and then—
The beeping notification sound kept ringing in her mind. When she checked, she found more than thirty unread messages and two video requests!
I took a quick look.
Mingmei: Congratulations!
Ai: ...Hehe~
Mom: My little daughter has grown up so much!
Older sister: Sonoko, you and Ran are very decisive!
Sister: I'll tell you the details when I get back~
The most outrageous one is Yukiko.
Yukiko: Sonoko, secretly turn on the video!
Yukiko: Recording it is fine too!
Yukiko: The log now has a recording function!
Yukiko: Waaaaah, I really want to see it!
...
Sonoko rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Luckily we turned off our logs last night, otherwise they would have driven us crazy. Ran, don't you think they're so bored? Staying up all night just waiting for us..."
"Who told us our purpose to be so clear this time?" Xiaolan's bright eyes also showed helplessness. "Your mother and Yukiko-neechan can access our information. Once they know, it's the same as everyone else knowing!"
“You’re right. We knew they’d tease us when we were making the plan, but—” Sonoko pouted, “It’s a pity that we have no one to bully. Natsume is hesitant to make a move on Officer Sato’s side, and so is Yoko Okino. These are the only people we know!”
"What are you saying, Sonoko!" Xiaolan rolled her eyes at her best friend, annoyed.
"Today could be considered your first day of marriage, and you're still thinking about letting Xia Ye—really~"
"What does that matter!" Sonoko scoffed.
"Anyway, neither of us is quite normal right now. Have you ever seen a normal girl hanging out with her best friend—?"
"Nonsense!" Although Ran knew she wasn't a normal girl anymore, she still thought Sonoko was way too abnormal!
"Ding~"
"Whose information?"
"It's Kazuha's!"
Ran opened her phone and found it was a message from Kazuha, whom she had met yesterday, inviting her and Sonoko to the beach today.
“Kazuha~” Sonoko’s beautiful eyes darted around, “Since it’s a friend’s invitation, we definitely have to accept! I’ll go call Natsuha and bring him along too!”
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Xiaolan knew exactly what this brat was thinking, but she couldn't be bothered to stop her. Whatever, Xia Ye had already written her name in the diary, so let Yuanzi do what she wanted. As long as she was happy~
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Xia Ye walked out yawning, still sleepy-eyed.
"What are you talking about?"
"We're talking about going out to play later~"
Sonoko glanced at Natsume's well-defined abs:
"Go wash up quickly!"
"Then hurry up and eat!"
"Okay~" Xia Ye obediently walked into the bathroom.
"Put your clothes on when you come out!" Watching his retreating figure, Xiaolan said speechlessly.
"You two are really a perfect match. It's one thing to be in the bedroom, but to run around the living room in your underwear, aren't you ashamed!"
"Hee hee~"
...
We had a warm and loving breakfast.
Xia Ye led Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi downstairs.
The detective tour group participating in the "Izu Mystery Tour" is about to disband. The Izu police chief has issued an internal arrest warrant for the Dark Duke, and Ehara Tokio's death has been ruled as murder by him, so there's nothing left for anyone else to do.
The detective tour group came specifically for the Duke of Darkness.
Now that the Dark Duke virus has been taken by the real Dark Duke, there's no point in them staying, so they've decided to go their separate ways.
"Ms. Kamijou, are you leaving already?"
Kogoro Mouri was reluctant to leave. He had no regrets about the case, but he was quite disappointed that Hideko Kamijou was leaving.
"Yes, Mr. Mori~"
Hideko Kamijou found it somewhat amusing; Natsume and Mr. Mori's daughter were a couple, and Mr. Mori himself...
My relationship with Xia Ye is still the same.
Thinking about it, it's actually a little exciting!
"Are you and Akiko going back to Tokyo?" Ran was also saying goodbye to Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama.
Satoshi Maeda's face showed a relieved expression:
"Yes! And we're going to get married when we get back!"
"Really?" Xiaolan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
"Can I attend the wedding?"
“Of course!” Maeda Satoshi readily agreed.
"Welcome, Ran! Mr. Mori and Conan are also welcome. I'll send the invitation to Mr. Mori later!"
