How could that scoundrel Xia Ye possibly have his eye on an unattractive woman?
What's more, this Shizuka Ikebab is someone else's wife, how could that guy possibly let her go!
"But that belongs to the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief—"
"So what~" Xiaolan poked Yuanzi's little face and said with a mischievous smile:
"That scoundrel dared to mess with even the wife of the Suzuki Group, let alone the wife of a mere Osaka Prefectural Police officer, don't you think, Sonoko?"
Sonoko rolled her eyes.
As the person involved, she had nothing to say!
"I've heard of that Kuroba Chikage—"
At this moment, Elena, who had been watching them chat with a gentle smile, suddenly spoke up.
“Of course not now, that was eighteen years ago—” Elena said with a light laugh:
"Back then, I had a pretty good relationship with Vermouth. She once went with Yukiko to learn the art of disguise from the world-renowned magician Kuroba Toichi, whose wife was named Kuroba Chikage."
"Another wife!" Sonoko exclaimed.
"Otherwise what? That's just our boss's hobby, doesn't everyone here already know that?"
Ai thought she was making a fuss over nothing!
You're right—
Xiaolan sighed helplessly.
The situation in her family, her own family, and Sonoko's family all illustrate this point!
"But what do you want to do?"
"Hmph—" Ai's smile was sinister:
"Of course, I'm planning to get to know those women beforehand, so I can give Xia Ye a big surprise!"
"what?"
Xiaolan was both amused and exasperated: "You've really gone too far!"
"How about it?"
Ai looked up and asked, "Ran, are you interested?"
"Okay then~" Xiaolan nodded:
"You'll have to get to know each other eventually anyway, but you'd better talk to Yukiko about it. I think she'll be very interested!"
“Speaking of Yukiko—” Elena smiled and held up the journal in her hand.
"You guys have been chatting for so long, and Xia Ye has written a lot, including mentioning Yukiko~"
"Eh?"
Everyone turned to their own logs without prior arrangement.
Sure enough, there was a lot more content on it.
[Tomorrow I'm going to Izu with Sonoko, Ran, and Ayako. Should I bring Conan, that Grim Reaper, along?]
[I remember in the original story, as soon as Conan and Ran arrived at the Tomizawa Group's villa in Izu, a murder occurred there. Maybe if I take him there this time, Tomizawa Yuzo will be dead on the spot? That way, I won't have to do it myself!]
I need to hurry to see Yoko after I get back from Izu; she's been urging me to go on the phone several times these past few days.
[Then we have to attend the Suzuki Foundation's 60th anniversary celebration. I remember this is Kid's first appearance in the story, and his target is the legendary black pearl that the Suzuki Foundation keeps as a family heirloom—Dark Star 0...]
[Make sure to tease him properly then!]
[Thinking about it this way, even though I seem to be having a leisurely time every day, I actually still have a lot to do. But then again, over a thousand episodes of plot is indeed quite extensive. After all, I went through all that trouble to travel through time, so I was supposed to experience all this!]
It's good to live a fulfilling life!
[Speaking of which—]
When I first transmigrated and met Ai Haibara, I really wanted to collect every named female character in the Detective Conan world. After all, I don't like Bleach, Naruto, or One Piece; I only like Detective Conan, and I've liked quite a few female characters over the years!
But now, those feelings have actually faded!
【hateful! 】
【It's all because Ran and Ai are so cute!】
[I kissed Miwako the other day and suddenly felt like I was cheating on her. That's terrifying! I'm such a jerk!]
"Pfft——!"
"Hahaha!"
"Cuckoo~"
The girls, who were about to end their midnight hot spring tour, suddenly let out silvery laughter that echoed across the steamy water.
Mingmei looked at Xiaolan and her younger sister and teased, "You two are really amazing. As expected of the female lead, you actually managed to make Xia Ye suppress his lustful heart!"
"Pooh!"
Ran scoffed and said coquettishly, "It's not just me and Ai, it's clearly related to everyone, Akemi-nee, stop messing around!"
"I know~"
Akemi waved her hand dismissively and said gently:
"Even so, you and Ai are special, otherwise why would he mention your names?"
"I won't tell you anymore!"
Xiaolan wrapped her curvaceous body in a white yukata as she stepped out of the hot spring, browsing through the remaining entries in Xia Ye's diary.
【certainly--】
[And then there's Yukiko and Tomoko, the two of them teaming up almost couldn't handle it, ouch! *smack!*]
Speaking of Yukiko—
[She just tried on the Spider-Man suit and actually managed to use Spider-Man's powers! But she looks so sexy in it, I don't want her to wear it out. But she wants to go out and do some good deeds, so I'll have to think of something~]
【Hey, System!】
Do you have any ideas?
How about providing a suitable identity?
Looking back now, you've gone through two upgrades, each time requiring either the acquisition of consciousness or the triggering of certain conditions!
【Name your conditions. Yukiko is, after all, my first woman, and I'll definitely fulfill her wishes. If you can't, I'll completely give up and stop even writing in my diary!】
Ran and Ai couldn't help but laugh after reading the log.
Xia Ye actually started threatening the system.
Although both of them believed that the system and logs should have a certain logic, would threats really work?
【Ding! 】
[The log is about to be updated. During the update process, the log may not open normally. Please do not panic. The new log will be fully updated at 00:30. Please check the log after the update is complete to get the update content.]
Too exaggerated?
Is System 0.2 really being threatened by Xia Ye?
The group, who had already put on their yukatas and were about to return to their rooms, were startled. The logbook beside them had disappeared in an instant. If they hadn't been able to sense it and hadn't received the notification earlier, they probably would have panicked by now!
"What do we do now?" Sonoko asked.
"Just wait, it's only half an hour anyway. This looks like a major version update, so it's normal for it to make a big splash."
Xiaolan remained calm.
"That's right. The previous two minor updates made communication much easier, and this major update will definitely have even more useful features!"
Ai looked forward to it, but then sighed: "To be honest, I've gotten used to the log. It's only been gone for a short while, but I feel a little empty inside, like I've lost something very important!"
"We're all the same, just to varying degrees—" Xiaolan said with a smile:
"Ai, you were the first to get the log, and you were affected by it for the longest time, so it's normal to feel this way!"
"Actually, if it weren't for the log and Xia Ye, we probably wouldn't have had this opportunity to sit together and chat like this—" Mingmei thought of her original ending, her light blue eyes softening, and a faint smile appearing on her pretty face:
"Isn't it?"
"That's right!"
"Indeed it is!"
The women exchanged smiles; it was indeed true.
A log can be a great tool for log holders to make friends.
Otherwise, even if we start counting from when Xia Ye transmigrated, we've only known each other for a short time. How could we have become so close and confided in each other so easily?
That's why we're like-minded people!
The girls were in a good mood.
Even though it was past midnight, they were still very energetic.
And so they sat in a circle and began their nighttime chat at the hot spring.
Chapter 277 A More Free Version Update
Meanwhile, on the other side—
At the Suzuki family's estate.
Xia Ye is currently in dire straits.
He had just finished writing his log and hadn't even confirmed whether the system had compromised when a pair of soft, smooth arms wrapped around his neck.
"Husband~"
Yukiko's voice was melodious, her breath sweet as orchids, and her beautiful eyes were full of charm; she was clearly overwhelmed with emotion and unable to extricate herself.
Beauty in arms.
Xia Ye enjoyed the experience while simultaneously feeling puzzled.
Wasn't Yukiko chatting with Tomoko Suzuki? Why did she suddenly become so agitated?
Looking at Suzuki Tomoko beside him, he saw her smiling broadly, ignoring his questioning gaze. Her alluring red lips were slightly pursed, and her beautiful, watery eyes were eager to try, as if she might try it at any moment!
What happened?
【Ding! 】
[System upgrade in progress!]
[Upgrade completion time: 12:30 AM]
Xia Ye was taken aback; the system had given in.
However, the moment he lost focus, Yukiko launched a sneak attack, and he forgot all about the system notification while he was passionately kissing her.
Anyway, there's still half an hour left.
Rather than just waiting, it's better to—
What to do to kill time!
This is why Xia Ye is so "hot"!
As for "water depth"—
Ahem! Those who know, know!
...
00:30.
The system notification came to Xia Ye's ears right on time.
He glanced down.
Yukiko and Tomoko Suzuki leaned against his chest, whispering and chatting, seemingly wide awake.
