In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Damn, Xia Ye's heart skipped a beat. This kind of direct confession was incredibly effective. Although Suzuki Tomoko clearly wanted something from him, he was powerless to resist after hearing this simple sentence!

When will the helicopter arrive?!

Why is it so slow?

Chapter 145 The Mermaid in the Hot Spring~

The Suzuki Foundation's helicopter landed directly in the plaza in front of the Tsukikage Island Clinic, and the sound of the propellers attracted the attention of the residents.

In the clinic.

Natsume bids farewell to Asai Makoto.

"Honestly, your injury has basically healed. The reason you're having trouble moving around right now is because the wound has just healed; it will be fine in a couple of days. Remember to rest!"

"I know~"

Asai Makoto kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

"Then I'm leaving~"

After Xia Ye finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.

"Xia Ye!"

A soft fragrance wafts over me, and my arms are filled with the warmth of jade.

Asai Makoto stretched out his arms and hugged Natsume, tiptoed and gently touched his face. His pretty cheeks flushed slightly, but he still bravely looked into Natsume's eyes and said:

"Thank you, Xia Ye!"

"Come visit me often, okay?"

"it is good!"

Xia Ye was caught off guard.

I'm not ready to make a move yet.

Why did the little white sheep offer itself up so willingly?

He hugged the girl in his arms, gently patted her back, and smiled, saying, "I'll come often, but don't get annoyed if I come too often~"

"No~"

Asai Makoto blinked, a mischievous smile flashing in her beautiful gray-blue eyes. "You can bring your friends too, preferably girls, so I can make more friends!"

"...Okay~"

Natsume sensed that Asai Honesty's words had a hidden meaning; it was probably that Sato Miwako had told her about other girls.

But have they become so close in such a short time? He can even tell her things like this?

and--

Asai Makoto heard all this.

Instead, he acted as if he didn't care at all.

It's a bit strange.

Recall.

It seems I haven't even experienced a chaotic situation. Even though Yukiko lived in my villa, Ai and Akemi never showed any aversion to her. It was the same with Ran. It was ridiculously harmonious!

This is not normal at all!

"What are you thinking about?"

Asai Makoto released Natsume with a smile on his face.

"No, it's nothing!"

Natsume waved to Asai Makoto.

"I'm going!"

Goodbye, honesty!

"goodbye!"

Makoto Asai watched Natsume board the helicopter, which gradually ascended and eventually disappeared into the horizon. After a long while, she returned to the clinic, sat on the sofa, and opened Natsume's log.

The log didn't contain much, and she finished reading it quickly. Although the content was limited, it was packed with information.

It can basically overturn a person's worldview.

Moreover, the other log holders all obtained the logs when Xia Ye transmigrated, and the information was gradually absorbed day by day. Only she read all the logs in just two hours, so the impact she received was unimaginable.

As for her actions just now.

On the one hand, there is the traditional feeling of being unable to repay a great kindness, and being able to repay it with one's own body.

On the other hand, having read the entire log in one go, she was still somewhat of an outsider. She could roughly guess that anyone whose name Xia Ye mentioned in the log was basically doomed. Rather than struggling in the face of fate, it was better to surrender.

Anyway, she quite likes men like Xia Ye!

Just

Isn't that a bit too many?

Asai picked up the log and counted the entries casually, thinking to himself, "It's alright now, but if there are more entries later, a week won't be enough! No wonder the guys I video chatted with wanted to hang out together!"

.....

Suzuki Estate.

Natsume, led by her maid Yuko, arrived at the reception room, where Tomoko Suzuki was already waiting.

The meeting place was rather formal.

But yes.

This is in broad daylight.

It's inappropriate for a handsome man to meet with the lady of the house in the guest room or her bedroom. Although Suzuki Tomoko has absolute authority in this family, she still has to be mindful of the impact on the household!

"Young Master Xia Ye, please have a seat. I'll make you and your wife some tea."

This time, Yuko wasn't as apprehensive as she had been before when facing Natsume; instead, she was respectful and enthusiastic.

There was no way around it; the lady had given too much hush money. Not to mention the promotion and raise, his sick father had even been admitted to Suzuki Hospital, a privilege usually reserved for core employees of the Suzuki Group. In short, Young Master Xia Ye was practically his lucky star!

If the lady were to ask him to serve her in bed again...

I would definitely do it without hesitation!

Unfortunately, when Yuko looked back as she walked out of the living room, she saw that Young Master Natsume had already started chatting with his wife with a big smile on his face and hadn't paid any attention to her at all!

As expected, it was a beauty like Madam who could attract Young Master Xia Ye's attention.

but--

Yuko blushed instantly as she recalled the stimulating scene beneath the surface of the hot spring water that night.

She glanced at the lady discreetly. How could such a noble and elegant lady be so... "wild"? Even if she and the master had been sleeping in separate rooms for several years, she shouldn't be so proactive, right?

The contrast is too big!

but--

It really does look very tempting!

......

"That girl is absolutely willing now—"

As Tomoko Suzuki watched Yuko disappear through the door, a smile played on her lips: "She specially changed into white stockings, didn't you even give her a second glance?"

"It really is quite beautiful~"

The Suzuki family's maid outfits aren't the revealing type; rather, they give off an aristocratic air. Combined with white stockings, Yuko's outfit is indeed quite eye-catching, except—

Natsume looked Suzuki Tomoko up and down:

"If you weren't sitting here, I might have flirted with her a bit, but since you're here, my gaze is destined to stay off her."

Today, Tomoko Suzuki wore an elegant black dress that reached her calves, revealing only her fair and rounded shoulders. Overall, it wasn't a sexy style.

Even so, her alluring curves beneath her long dress, as she sat on the sofa, still exuded a strong sense of charm and elegance.

"so--"

"Did I stop you from flirting with the maid?"

Suzuki Tomoko's lips curled up slightly. She was quite pleased with Natsume's sweet words. Of course, it depended on who said them. If it were someone else, she would just smile and wouldn't feel anything. But it was Natsume who made her feel different!

After all, Xia Ye is special!

"Tomoko, are you trying to sell Yuko to me so enthusiastically because you want something from me?"

Xia Ye said with a half-smile:

"If you hadn't told me, I would have gone to find Yuko to soak in the hot springs right now. I'm actually quite nostalgic for that night. Yuko may not be as good as you, but white-stockinged maids are still very attractive to me~"

"Alright, let's get down to business."

When Xia Ye mentioned hot springs.

Suzuki Tomoko's delicate face changed slightly. Originally, she didn't care about a little maid. Even if Natsume wanted her, she could have her anytime.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ··

However, the hot spring in the bathhouse was her exclusive space, a place where she could let go of all constraints and be honest with Natsume. She didn't want any other woman to touch it, not even a maid, let alone her own daughter!

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

Xia Ye easily discerned Suzuki Tomoko's thoughts from her pretty face, and chuckled inwardly: "The mistress of the Suzuki Group, actually jealous of a mere maid—how unexpectedly adorable!"

He smiled slightly:

"However, after we finish our business, I really need to go soak in the hot spring. After all, mermaids can grow in your hot spring, and I'd like to see that for myself. What do you say, Tomoko?"

"Go if you want to!"

Tomoko Suzuki pouted and gave Natsume a charmingly disdainful look. "As for mermaids, who knows!"

"Yeah, who knows?"

Natsume looked at Suzuki Tomoko with a smile in her eyes:

"Now you can tell me. What's the rush to get me here? The Moonshadow Island matter isn't that urgent!"

"I've already sent people to make contact with Moonshadow Island—"

When Suzuki Tomoko got down to business, her pretty face turned slightly serious: "First, we'll get the village chief there to work for us. Then I'll work on things in the Diet to buy the whole island. After all, Moonshadow Island is just an ordinary island, except for its beautiful scenery. There shouldn't be any problems!"

....... .. .......

"That's good~"

Xia Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Pengzi. Things aren't even settled yet, and you're already getting started on my business."

"What are you talking about!"

Tomoko Suzuki retorted with a light pout:

"This isn't me helping you, it's you helping me! I thought you'd slack off, but I didn't expect you to be so dedicated. You not only have a plan, but you've even thought about the follow-up!"

"Are there any rewards, like a mermaid in the hot spring or something?"

Xia Ye's gaze lingered on Suzuki Tomoko, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she said expectantly:

"A reward would motivate me even more!"

"Of course!"

Tomoko Suzuki raised her slender neck, her beautiful lake-blue eyes shimmering with a captivating light, and a charming smile graced her delicate face as she spoke:

"As long as you put your heart into it, you'll not only get the mermaid, but you'll also see many more fun rewards!"

"Then it's settled!"

Xia Ye's heart was burning with excitement, and she couldn't wait to go to the hot spring room and have some fun!

But at this moment—
