Chapter 117: Mermaid Mouri Ran

Ran swam in the seawater like a white mermaid.

Akaso Kaze accompanied her, and the two avoided the crowd to reach a deeper area.

"Oh my, Akaso-san, my leg seems to have cramped."

Ran felt her lower leg sinking and hurriedly called out to Akaso Kaze beside her.

"The water is too deep here, hold onto my waist, and I'll take you back."

Akaso Kaze swam in front of her.

Ran wrapped her arms around Akaso Kaze's neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, and hung her entire body on him.

Such intimacy made Ran's pretty face flush red.

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled slightly, silently canceling the mental hand that was pulling on Ran's leg.

Ran's weight, combined with the buoyancy of the seawater, was nothing at all for Akaso Kaze.

But he pretended to have a strenuous expression.

While paddling with one hand, he used the other to support Ran from behind.

Ran's face was so red it looked like it could drip water.

She wanted to leave, but her body felt soft and powerless.

The seawater swayed, and her heart swayed along with it…

"Let, let me down…"

Her voice was lower than a mosquito's.

"Wait a moment, we're almost there."

Akaso Kaze dawdled while moving in the sea.

Half an hour later, they finally reached a depth where they could stand.

Ran instantly broke free from his embrace.

She jumped into the water and ran toward the shore without looking back.

"Huh, Akaso-san, why did Ran go back?"

Mouri Kogoro had forgotten to bring a swimsuit for Conan again and had to wait in a long line to buy one.

As a result, it was delayed by a full half hour.

When the two of them arrived at the beach, they happened to see Ran running back to the hotel with a red face.

"Maybe she was in a hurry to go to the restroom."

Akaso Kaze stood in waist-deep seawater, a triumphant smile on his face.

Conan smacked his lips with regret.

He had originally been looking forward to Ran's swimsuit.

It was all Uncle Mouri's carelessness; he always forgot to bring his swimsuit, and as a result, it was delayed again.

In the afternoon, when it was time for the tour group's scheduled meeting, several people changed their clothes and came to the hotel lobby.

"You must be the Night Baron."

A voice suddenly rang in Mouri Kogoro's ear.

"…Me?" Mouri Kogoro was bewildered by the question.

Akaso Kaze looked at the person who spoke.

Konno Shiro, looking gloomy, holding a computer all day.

He asked the same question to everyone in the tour group and recorded their reaction times, feeling a bit neurotic.

"Hmph, you're really boring. If you could judge who the Night Baron is just by response time, that would be great." Someone voiced a sarcasm.

Ebara Tokio, carrying a beer can, drunk.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon become a soul in Akaso Kaze's space.

"He's not boring at all. Sudden questions are the easiest way to make people reveal flaws."

Kinjo Genichiro, a major shareholder of a computer company, not young anymore, wearing sunglasses to pretend he couldn't see, followed by a chubby female secretary.

"It seems like some people's information is missing, isn't that right?"

A sexy woman stared at Akaso Kaze with burning eyes.

"Hello, I'm Kamijo Hideko, president of a computer software company. May I know your name, handsome?"

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly, making Kamijo Hideko's eyes shine even more.

Then he reached out and hugged Ran's waist, saying lightly: "Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Ran's face flushed, but she didn't refute. ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
