Inside the hot spring house, Yuu Hoshimiya had achieved his heart's desire, enjoying the ultimate bliss of a harem.
He finally understood the true meaning of being the filling in a sandwich.
With his back against a large stone, Miwako Sato pressed against his left, Sumiko Kobayashi against his right, and in front was the most seductive of them all, Yumi Miyamoto.
The three women pinned Yuu in the middle, and Yumi was gently pecking him with kisses over and over; it was pure, unadulterated pleasure.
However, right next door to this hot spring pool, a sneaky man was pressing his ear against the wall, desperately trying to eavesdrop.
It was none other than the miserable Ninzaburo Shiratori.
To the very end, Shiratori couldn't bring himself to believe it. After pulling himself together, he had booked the spring right next to theirs.
He didn't even care about soaking; he just wanted to hear the movements inside to confirm if it was real.
Unfortunately, the soundproofing of the building materials in this establishment was too good, and Shiratori could hear absolutely nothing.
The three women stood on the stone steps, treating Yuu's head like a ball as he sat, giggling while bumping and grinding their perky buttocks against him.
Bell-like laughter echoed through the entire hot spring area—a scene of harmony, beauty, and playful fun, yet filled with boundless eroticism that Yuu thoroughly enjoyed.
His large hands occasionally covered their long legs, taking full advantage of the proximity.
Soon, however, the three women grew tired of playing and sat down to begin soaking in the spring properly.
Miwako was on the left, Sumiko on the right, and Yumi sat directly on Yuu's lap.
Even after sitting down, Yumi remained restless, playfully splashing water at the other three, and Miwako and Sumiko fought back, not to be outdone.
A hot spring battle instantly erupted, with screams and giggles drifting out continuously.
Faced with such a chaotic situation, Yuu sat in the middle with his eyes closed, remaining as steady as a mountain.
But beneath the water, his large hands secretly controlled everything, climbing along curve after curve until they settled on Yumi's sexy body.
He wrapped his arms around Yumi's soft waist and captured her pink lips in a deep kiss.
Mid-kiss, the beautiful police flower's small face turned bright red, her breathing grew heavy, and her large eyes shimmered with watery desire.
Miwako and Sumiko exchanged a glance and stopped their splashing, their small hands covering Yuu's body as they too began to get unruly.
Miwako's eyes were full of tenderness. Her light purple gaze flickered before she dove straight underwater, taking the already erect "Little Yuu" into her mouth.
In an instant, her small mouth was filled to capacity, yet a portion still remained exposed.
Miwako pressed closer, tilting her head back to create a straight line between her mouth and throat, finally managing to take "Little Yuu" in completely.
Hiss!!!
The intense pleasure brought by the contractions on both sides of her throat made Yuu groan aloud uncontrollably.
Miwako then opened her mouth slightly to let the warm spring water rapidly fill her oral cavity, applying force to make the water roll back and forth over "Little Yuu."
"Little Yuu" was like a small boat in the middle of the ocean, being tossed back and forth by giant waves.
Experiencing this intense stimulation, Yuu's hands kneaded Yumi even harder, and he began to suck on her tongue frantically as if trying to steal her very soul.
Sumiko, not wanting to be left out, stood up and pulled Yuu's head into her bosom, her eyes full of gentle affection.
Yuu's head was instantly buried between two snowy peaks, the fragrance of her breasts washing over him.
The beautiful teacher raised her hands to grasp her own mounds and began to churn them, giving Yuu's face a massage while occasionally feeding the two large "cherries" into his mouth.
This kind of treatment was hardly different from that of an emperor.
Soon, Miwako surfaced, unable to hold her breath any longer.
Yuu pulled her close and kissed her lips, savoring her soft, fragrant tongue.
Miwako allowed him to take whatever he wanted from her lips, her sweet nectar being sucked away by him.
Mmm... mmm...
Meanwhile, Yuu's hand reached into Miwako's embrace, kneading her full, towering breasts, causing her to let out seductive gasps.
Reluctantly, Yuu released Miwako's delicious mouth and pulled all three women into his arms, beginning the night's conquest in earnest.
Water splashed everywhere amidst continuous moans of pleasure. Round after round, Yuu went full throttle, driving these three top-tier luxury cars without a moment's pause.
At times, he used both his hands and mouth to drive two at once.
Driven by excitement and with the proactive cooperation of the three women, he even stacked them together for a shared session of "universal blessing."
Next door, Ninzaburo Shiratori was scratching his head in frustration. He tried every method possible, using bowls and basins against the wall to eavesdrop, but he heard nothing.
In the end, Shiratori had no heart for soaking. He left the private pool and sat on a stone bench in the corridor.
He stared at the door Yuu's group had entered, beginning his long vigil.
He refused to believe he wouldn't see Yuu come out.
He waited for over three hours, and just as he was getting drowsy, he finally heard voices at the door.
Shiratori immediately covered his head with a towel, leaving only one eye exposed to peek.
The four people emerging from the bathhouse were fully dressed and chatting happily. Yuu looked completely refreshed, while the three women had rosy complexions and looked to be in peak condition.
The three women would occasionally lean against Yuu, looking entirely intimate as they chattered away.
Yuu pretended not to see Shiratori and walked out with his arm around Sumiko.
"Sumiko, your stamina is too weak. Even though you look so much like me, you aren't like me in this regard at all. No, I have to find a chance to drill you properly."
"Sumiko, don't listen to Miwako. You're fine just as you are; being 'frail' is the most perfect state," Yumi said, her large eyes darting around as she tried to mislead the dazed teacher.
"Who's like you two who went through police academy training! Perverts! You're still talking about it even after coming out. Yuu-kun, handle them! They bully me all day."
"Alright, alright. Miwako, Yumi, both of you settle down!"
The four drifted away, and Shiratori, watching this, trembled with rage, his teeth grinding audibly.
This is absolutely detestable!!!
Unacceptable! Does being handsome really mean you can do whatever you want?
The heavens are blind! The heavens are blind!
Yuu and the group reached the front desk, handed the key to the owner, and even paid extra for the waterbed they had damaged.
The owner, seeing Yuu's spirited expression and the three women looking like little birds clinging to him, couldn't help but give Yuu a thumbs-up.
Yuu offered a calm smile, a man of hidden depth and achievement.
He led the women out and got into the Lexus, which roared to life and sped off instantly.
Behind them, Shiratori, who was still questioning the owner, didn't even have time to react before the car vanished from his sight.
This time Yuu didn't bother controlling his speed. After shaking off Shiratori, he drove straight to the best Sukiyaki restaurant in Tokyo, taking the famished women for a feast.
Afterward, he drove each of the three women back to their respective homes.
After kissing each of them goodbye, Yuu finally drove toward his own home.
At six in the evening, Yuu returned to the tower apartment.
Walking into his home, he was surprised to find that Masumi Sera, that tomboy, hadn't left yet.
During these past few hours, Sera had carefully investigated Yuu's home and continuously tried to fish for information from Ran.
But she had found nothing.
This was normal. Not to mention Ran and the others had been informed by Yuu in advance, the Suzuki Manor was their true base; the apartment only held traces of daily life.
In a bit more time, even the Suzuki Manor would just be an ordinary estate; if anyone wanted to find out anything, they'd have to go to the Kingdom of Vespania.
Sera was starting to wonder if her mother's decision had been wrong.
However, upon seeing Yuu, she still felt he was quite reliable.
After all, this special consultant was a genuinely formidable figure.
It had to be said that having god-tier charm was a huge advantage, especially when dealing with the opposite sex.
The moment Yuu arrived home, he instantly swayed Sera's thoughts, making her feel he was incredibly trustworthy.
But if Yuu knew what Sera was thinking, he would surely find the girl too young and naive.
Just then, Ran walked over and said, "Brother Yuu, you're back! Dinner happens to be ready. Come eat quickly."
"Sonoko, Sera-san, you two should stay and have dinner with us too!"
Sonoko naturally didn't stand on ceremony, and Masumi Sera, intent on making contact with Yuu, used her tomboyish, familiar personality to giggle and thank Ran before decisively agreeing.
Although Yuu was full, eating a bit more was no problem.
With a powerful physique, he required a massive amount of energy.
Fortunately, Yuu could now supply his body with the necessary energy through magic; otherwise, he would have long since become a glutton.
Dinner proceeded smoothly, with everyone chatting casually about interesting daily events.
It wasn't until after the meal that Ran pulled out a letter and handed it to Yuu.
"Brother Yuu, take a look at this. I saw it while sorting through the mail this afternoon. There was also a commission fee of ten million yen, and this map was attached to the back."
Yuu took the letter and asked in surprise, "Isn't this a commission letter sent to Uncle Mouri? Why is it with you, Ran?"
Ran spread her hands helplessly. "Dad seems to have taken Conan out of town to handle a commission recently; he's been gone for days. I passed by the agency and saw the mailbox was overflowing, so I helped sort it out and found this."
"Ran, are you asking me to handle the commission for Uncle Mouri?"
Yuu naturally had no use for a ten-million-yen fee, but if Ran wanted him to, he didn't mind spending some time on it.
Ran shook her head. "It's up to you, Brother Yuu. I just felt this commission might interest you, which is why I showed it to you."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Yuu raised an eyebrow, opened the letter, and began to read aloud.
"Detective Mouri, I am the owner of the Twilight Mansion. I cordially invite you to my humble abode this Thursday for dinner. Other renowned detectives will be gathered there as well. I look forward to conversing with you."
"Signed: The Phantom of the Child Whom God Forsake!"
Yuu nodded slightly. The Twilight Mansion incident—the Karasuma Renya case. This was a major event.
Opposite him, Masumi Sera pondered for a moment after hearing the signature, her brow smoothing out as if she had realized something.
Sonoko flipped through the map. "What the heck is a 'Phantom of the Child Whom God Forsake'? What kind of ghost is that? And inviting Teacher Hoshimiya to such a remote place."
The corner of Sera's mouth curled up as she asked, "Teacher Hoshimiya, do you know who this 'Phantom of the Child Whom God Forsake' is?"
Meeting Sera's scrutinizing gaze, Yuu smiled. "Of course. The 'child whom God forsake' comes from the New Testament—the goat."
"In English, a goat is 'goat,' but it specifically says a 'child,' which is a young goat, or a 'kid.'"
"Add the word 'Phantom,' and you get the Phantom Thief Kid!"
"So, the literal meaning is that this invitation was sent by Kid."
After hearing Yuu's analysis, Sonoko and Ran's eyes were full of admiration.
Masumi Sera also showed a look of appreciation; he truly was a brilliant detective, figuring it out instantly.
Sonoko even gasped, "Teacher Hoshimiya, you're amazing!"
Ran, however, frowned. "But Kid isn't..."
Since Chikage Kuroba had become one of them, Ran and the girls were well aware of Kid's situation.
Clearly, it was impossible for Kid to have sent this letter.
Ran wanted to ask directly, but with Masumi Sera there—whom she had only known for a day—she swallowed the question.
She felt Sera was a good person, but they had only just met.
So, Ran changed her question. "Brother Yuu, what does he want with my dad?"
Although Yuu knew the reason, he didn't reveal too much.
"Don't worry. Since Uncle Mouri is busy, I'll go check it out for him."
Masumi Sera stood up and bowed, looking entirely sincere. "Teacher Hoshimiya, please be sure to take me with you. I want to meet the other detectives too."
Yuu pondered for a moment and nodded. "Mmm, fine."
Sonoko wanted to ask to come along too, but she was stopped by a single look from Yuu.
Sonoko immediately pouted, unwilling but not daring to object, only casting a resentful glance at Masumi Sera.
Sera was stared at until she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she had done something terribly wrong to Sonoko.
Afterward, Sonoko and Masumi Sera both politely said their goodbyes.
"Thank you for the hospitality today. We should be going. Goodbye."
The two went downstairs together and got into their respective cars.
Sonoko was picked up by a private car, while Masumi Sera took a taxi.
Twenty minutes later, Sera returned to the hotel where she was staying.
She had no residence in Tokyo. For the past few years, she had lived in America, and after returning to Japan, she had lived in the countryside. She had only come to Tokyo after receiving information while on the run.
Sera reached the door of her room and knocked gently: three long and one short, four long and one short. She waited a moment.
The door opened, and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl peered cautiously to the left and right before unlatching the security chain to let Sera in.
This foreign girl looked frail and pale, coughing occasionally.
She looked about seventy percent like Haibara, but older—about four or five years older, roughly the age of a middle schooler.
Her eyes and eye shadow were very similar to Shuichi Akai's and Masumi Sera's, marking them as family.
The room was very dark, and Sera quickly adapted to the gloom, not thinking to turn on the light.
She casually tossed her schoolbag onto a chair. "Well? Are you satisfied with that guy?"
The blonde girl coughed twice and spoke. "I can't be sure based on this one video alone."
"If he cannot become the candidate we expect, we must withdraw immediately and explore new territories!"
Sera's expression was also very serious. "Don't worry. I'll observe him further."
"Also, this Thursday, I'll be following him to the Twilight Mansion. Perhaps I'll find something there!"
Hearing this, the blonde girl's eyes contracted sharply.
At noon the next day, after all the women in the house had left, Yuu finally stretched and got out of bed to wash up.
He didn't plan on going to the MPD today; he intended to enjoy some long-overdue quiet time alone.
Yesterday during the day, he had helped solve a case, then took the three women for a hot spring battle.
After seeing off Sera and Sonoko in the evening, he had engaged in nighttime exercises with Ran, Eri, and later the returning Azusa Enomoto, Midori Kuriyama, and Narumi Asai.
The official excuse was that he had overexerted himself yesterday and needed a good rest to recharge, but in reality, he was just being lazy.
After washing up, Yuu walked to the living room and collapsed onto the sofa.
With no one home, he took a short nap on the sofa, then got up when he felt bored.
Changing his clothes, Yuu intended to head out and enjoy some leisure time by himself.
After strolling down the street for a while, he saw a cafe on the corner. With a thought, he walked all the way to the building housing the Mouri Detective Agency.
Under the surprised gaze of Azusa Enomoto, Yuu pushed open the glass door of Café Poirot.
He ordered a cup of coffee and began to enjoy the afternoon sun while admiring the street scenery.
However, this peace was soon broken.
Today, the only person in the shop was the cute waitress, Azusa Enomoto.
She had shoulder-length hair and bright light green eyes, wearing a red top and a pink apron.
The moment she saw Yuu, she couldn't help but blush. After serving the coffee with flustered hands, she stayed at the table next to Yuu's, wiping the smooth surface with a towel.
She didn't leave to wipe other tables for a long time.
Watching Azusa hovering in front of him, her thoughts were practically an open book.
It seems she wasn't thoroughly fed last night...
It couldn't be helped; there were too many people last night and time was limited. Filling each of them once was about all the time they had before they needed to rest.
Yuu curled the corner of his mouth, took a sip of his coffee, and spoke. "Azusa."
"Yes!"
Azusa turned around immediately, her light green eyes fixed on Yuu.
"Where's Amuro? Does he not have to work today?"
"Amuro-san seems to be busy with some private matters lately; he usually comes in the afternoon. Why, Yuu-kun? Do you need him for something? I have his number here; should I call him now?"
"No need. I was just asking."
Now that the Akai family had appeared and the main storyline was moving again, Yuu wanted to check on Toru Amuro's current state. But since he wasn't here, he let it go.
With Noah's 24-hour monitoring, he wasn't afraid of any problems arising.
Besides, even if a problem did occur, with his current strength, it would be a minor inconvenience at most.
Looking at the blushing Azusa who wanted to get close but felt shy, Yuu beckoned to her. "Azusa, since there are no other customers right now, why don't you sit with me for a bit and chat?"
Azusa glanced around before cautiously sitting on the sofa beside Yuu.
Yuu hadn't even done anything, yet the girl was already blushing.
She balled her hands into tiny fists on her knees, looking incredibly nervous.
Seeing Azusa like this, Yuu found it exceptionally amusing.
Especially since she had been so bold last night when she said—
Unfortunately, he really didn't want to do it today; he just wanted to spend a quiet, leisurely day.
Yuu didn't tease Azusa further. While drinking his coffee and talking with her, the two spent a very pleasant afternoon tea time together.
It wasn't until a customer entered the cafe that Yuu rose to leave. Azusa watched his retreating figure, feeling a bit of regret, but also a great deal of joy.
She wanted Yuu to satisfy her body thoroughly, but this warm interaction also made her heart feel exceptionally fulfilled.
Leisure time, of course, was incomplete without music, especially Reiko Akiba's soprano.
Yuu had never forgotten her magnificent soprano voice, particularly that one song she had sung for him alone in the concert hall; it was truly moving.
As it happened, the beautiful soprano had returned last night from an international concert tour, and it was the perfect time to go and experience her talent again.
Yuu returned home and called Reiko Akiba. After making an appointment, he drove straight to Reiko's detached villa.
The car soon reached the villa district. Upon ringing the bell, the front door opened immediately.
A soft body carrying a floral fragrance crashed directly into Yuu's arms. It was Reiko Akiba.
