Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 39 Resisting is Punished

Sonoko replied dismissively, "Are you implying that I'm in the wrong?"

"No, no, no, this must be my fault. Miss Ayako was supposed to be questioning me tonight, but because the lights weren't on, I mistook her for you, and that's how it turned out."

Sonoko fell silent for a moment, unsure how to respond, before asking again.

"Then why did you hide this from me? If I hadn't found out, were you planning to keep it from me forever? Shouldn't I know about this?"

“It happened so suddenly, I didn’t have time to tell you. And if I had told you suddenly, I was afraid you would blame your sister.”

"nonsense!"

"What are you thinking? That's my own sister. Even if I abandon you, I won't blame her."

Okay, as long as you don't blame Ayako, anything is fine.

Seeing that she no longer looked angry, he began a new round of PUA!

"The most, most, most important thing is that you should have slept alone last night. Why did you sleep with your sister? Do you know how much I miss you? I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep. That's why I became so beastly when I saw the door open."

"Tell me, don't you also bear some responsibility? You can't blame everything on me, right?"

"Hmm." Sonoko nodded in a daze, then immediately realized what she meant.

"Wait a minute, how come I'm responsible??? I didn't do anything!"

That's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say!

"How can you say you're not responsible? You're my girlfriend, the kind of girlfriend who's practically inseparable from me, but you just ignore it. If you slept in a room by yourself, wouldn't this kind of thing not have happened?"

The gardener's head is practically turned to mush, but somehow what he said actually makes a lot of sense.

Seeing that she seemed dazed, he gave her another injection of a stimulant.

She was immediately hugged by the scumbag and walked upstairs to her room.

After the matter was over.

Sonoko nestled quietly in his arms, and he could feel her breath hitting his chest from time to time, making him feel a ticklish sensation.

"So what are we going to do now? You've already won over both me and your sister. Which one are you planning to marry?"

This kind of questioning involves speaking to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way. Whoever asks you the question, you should say who it is, without the slightest hesitation.

"Then I'll definitely marry you!" he replied decisively.

Sonoko smiled upon hearing this, but then quickly realized what she meant.

"What about my sister? You're not going to shirk responsibility, are you?"

He shook his head; he had already thought about this problem.

"In a few years, we'll go abroad, find a country without restrictions, and marry you all." He deliberately didn't say "you two" here; he couldn't make a definitive statement, since there were already three of them.

If you keep it a secret for now, it's fine if the two sisters are close; they won't mind too much if they have a particularly good relationship.

If a stranger suddenly appears, things could get complicated; it would truly be a disaster, and there wouldn't be a moment of peace.

In severe cases, they might even run away, which would be a loss.

"Did you have this idea all along? You planned this all along."

"How could that be? I only met your sister yesterday. Okay, okay, you rest for a while and send me your sister's phone number so I can talk to her."

"Good~"

After getting the phone number, he immediately sent a text message to Ayako.

"Ayako, Sonoko has taken care of everything and is waiting for you to come back at the villa."

I received a reply shortly afterward.

"Really???"

"It's true, you'll see when you get back."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

After putting away his phone, he sat down and smiled, "Ayako said she'll be back soon, so you two can have a good chat later. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."

"You guys eat first tonight, don't wait for me. I'll let you know in advance if I'm going to come back to sleep."

Sonoko was immediately displeased upon hearing this. She wasn't mentally prepared, and he was already trying to escape. This behavior was truly appalling.

I've dumped everything on her; I've really had enough.

"I'll wait here for Ayako to come back. I'll leave after we've talked. Don't worry, I won't leave you to face this alone."

He could tell from her expression that she was unhappy, so he quickly explained.

I just managed to calm things down, but if I carelessly let my guard down at the end, I'll be completely devastated.

For the rest of the time, Sonoko sat alone downstairs in a daze, while he went upstairs to take a shower and change into a new set of clothes.

The smell of cigarettes on my clothes was too strong, so I had to change into a new one.

He already has his own room in the villa, and his wardrobe is full of his clothes.

Ugh.

He was genuinely envious of those who transmigrated and had systems for romance or affection, which were far superior to his system.

For example, once the favorability rating reaches 100, the person will be loyal to you and never betray you. Wouldn't that be great?

A harem-building artifact!

If all else fails, give them a dating gadget or something. Two people who truly love each other can disregard everything about the other, and that's perfectly fine too.

It's giving him a terrible headache right now.

He clearly has a villa to keep his mistress, yet he still chooses to live in this villa. I wonder when he'll be able to bring Mingmei over to live with him.

Just thinking about it makes me feel great.

I've been neglecting her a bit too much lately, so I'm not going to come back here tonight. I'll just go find Mingmei instead.

After going downstairs, I found Sonoko still in a daze. I first waved my hand, but when there was no response, I patted her shoulder again.

Why are you spacing out?

Just as Sonoko was about to speak, the villa door was opened, and Ayako kicked off her shoes and ran straight towards him.

He and Sonoko stood up at the same time. He smiled and opened his arms, closing his eyes and waiting for the hug.

After a dozen seconds, realizing they still hadn't arrived, I opened my eyes and saw the two Sonoko sisters embracing each other warmly.

It had nothing to do with him at all; he was numb and felt like he was superfluous.

The two women hugged for several minutes before he finally said he had to leave, and they reluctantly separated, but their hands remained tightly clasped together.

"Go ahead and do what you need to do. I have a lot to talk to Sonoko about."

Sonoko nodded in agreement.

OK OK.

So you don't need me anymore, right?

He shrugged helplessly and left the villa without looking back.

Weren't you the one who was spacing out just now? Weren't you the one who was constantly worried and afraid?

Are you sure you're all better now than I am? You guys make me look stupid.

He was still feeling down on the way down the mountain. It was clear that the two sisters had a really good relationship; they didn't need him to mediate at all.
