Chapter 437: Unchanged Standards of Affection

In the house of Kogoro Mouri, inside the room belonging to Ran Mouri, Ran Mouri was currently lying on her stomach on the bed, holding a diary and reading it.

"A beautiful girl with a great figure... so this is how Ren Ren sees me."

Being praised for having a great figure, and being told it was just right—a figure that was both full and healthy—this should be the best praise a girl could receive.

Of course, when praised by others, Ran Mouri would simply thank them for the compliment; however, if it delved into matters of her figure, it would make her feel somewhat tainted by elements of sexual harassment.

But facing praise from an acquaintance was a completely different matter.

Her figure had never been a source of anxiety for Ran Mouri, because since her body began to grow, her development had always been quite good; among her peers, she even felt she had grown a bit too much.

But now, the rapid increase in her weight was truly her most anxious problem.

She naturally knew that strength and explosive power were based on a sufficiently strong body. Yet, as a girl, she was quite particular about this point; she hoped to obtain a healthy body, not one so strong that it possessed enough muscle mass.

And now, a familiar male of the opposite sex with a pleasant sense of touch had directly stated that her figure was very good, not fat at all, and her body did not look particularly strong, belonging to the category of a healthy beauty.

Closing the diary in her hand, Ran Mouri rolled to the side and got off the bed.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and looked at herself in it, especially her legs in the mirror; lifting her leg slightly, those fair and athletic thighs showed almost no flaws, and even obvious muscle lines were not visible.

"Indeed, they are slightly thicker than before, but... this must be the 'just right' that Ren Ren mentioned."

Her thighs were visibly a bit thicker than before, yet at this moment, Ran Mouri no longer felt the anxiety symptoms she had previously.

Having a male of the opposite sex whom she clearly liked say that the thickness of her thighs was actually just right—wasn't this much better than her own feelings?

It was just that wearing clothes made it difficult to see the condition of her body clearly.

Ran Mouri glanced towards the window, walked over quickly, and used curtains to block all the windows that might allow a view into the room.

After finishing everything, she returned to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, took off her clothes piece by piece, along with her skirt, leaving only her underwear on her body.

Only now could she see her entire body more clearly.

She reached out and pinched her lower abdomen; the firm muscles were almost impossible to pinch any excess fat, and she could control her abdominal muscles to tighten and relax.

When relaxed, it was soft and fluffy, but when tightened, it was extremely firm, almost like an iron plate.

Striking various seductive poses in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Ran Mouri carefully observed her body.

"It is... a very healthy physical condition. Not fat, and there are no muscle lines, and Ren Ren said my weight has already increased to the limit, so my figure should be able to maintain this level forever."

【A beautiful girl with a great figure.】

Suddenly, as if hearing a phantom sound, praise from Amamiya reached her ears.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ran Mouri's face flushed slightly, and her toes shyly curled against the floor.

"Since Ren Ren said so, then it must be no problem."

At this moment, Ran Mouri finally put down her anxiety regarding her weight.

At the same time, in the screening room inside the Suzuki family, the entire Suzuki family of four was watching the videotape separated by Ai Hoshino.

In the footage, Kaguya Sigong transformed into the Ice Empress; with merely a casual landing, she turned the sea surface into a frozen land.

Not only was Kaguya Sigong's extraordinary ability, but also the abilities possessed by Nagi Sanzenin and Maria made their eyes sparkle.

That was mystery in the true sense!

Those scenes were exactly like images that could only be created by special effects, yet Shi Lang Suzuki, Tomoko Suzuki, and Ayako Suzuki all knew that these were not images created by special effects; everyone in this videotape possessed extraordinary abilities of mystery.

The combat portion extracted from the videotape ended very quickly, and the lights in the screening room turned on again, but for a moment, the three members of the Suzuki family fell into shock.

"Beyond imagination..."

Shi Lang Suzuki's face was full of surprise, and at the same time, it also held an extraordinary longing.

In the past, he had always been exploring the realm of mystery; unfortunately, the past him had no opportunity to contact this realm, but now the opportunity had appeared; how could he have no thoughts at all?

"I knew mystery existed, but I never expected the so-called experience of mystery to have such expressiveness. Especially Kaguya Sigong; what she masters is completely superhuman power."

Tomoko Suzuki also agreed with this very much.

"Power beyond ordinary cognition is also power that can overturn everything. Placed in the world of ordinary people, this ability is complete suppression; the only power in the world that could threaten her might be large-scale heavy firepower."

Shi Lang Suzuki also nodded subconsciously, but Sonoko Suzuki shook her head slightly to negate her mother's statement.

"Mom, heavy firepower isn't that effective either. Kaguya's ability allows her to elementalize herself; even if the Sanzenins concentrated their firepower against her, they would have no way to deal with Kaguya."

"Not just Kaguya; her maid, Ai Hoshino, can also open doors to enter the alternate dimension. Large-scale heavy firepower cannot penetrate into the alternate dimension; for them to transfer and leave is far too easy."

Even heavy firepower used against those possessing mystery would most likely be ineffective.

The ability of the Door-Door Fruit was truly too overpowered, especially regarding the transfer of position; almost no heavy firepower could hit Kaguya and Ai head-on.

Her daughter's answer made the couple understand once again exactly how large the gap was between mystery and ordinary people.

They also understood once again in their hearts that the wealth and power of ordinary people looked like the most useless things to mystery.

If mystery reveals itself even slightly, the wealth of the ordinary world will pour in, requiring no so-called management.

Ayako Suzuki, who had not spoken until now, put away all her surprise and looked at her younger sister with curiosity.

"Sonoko, then what ability did you obtain?"

The topic mentioned by Ayako Suzuki was also one that Shi Lang Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki were quite interested in.

Even though the youngest daughter had not said it, the moment she brought out the recording of this weekend's trip, they already understood that Sonoko had also entered the Secret World.

Sonoko Suzuki's face immediately bloomed with a smile, and she took out a contract card printed with her image as a Young Lady from her bosom.

"This is the ability I obtained. This contract card is the embodiment of my power, the rights of a Young Lady. As long as I wish, I can meet with anyone without any appointment."

"And also, Mom and Dad, I think I really like a boy."

Shi Lang Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki exchanged a glance; they had actually thought of such a situation, but they were quite tolerant regarding the person Sonoko was dating.

It was just that the reason...

"Is it because he is very handsome?"

Tomoko Suzuki asked tentatively.

"Mm, he is really very handsome."

Hearing her daughter's answer, Tomoko Suzuki couldn't help but cover her face; it seemed Sonoko's judgment standard in this regard had not changed at all.
