26 Chapter 25: Adjustment period

After having removed the short term memories of Officer Sato, after accidentally tapping into the women hidden sexual fantasies, Conan tells her. ''You have seen nothing out of the ordinary...''

Still showing a dazed expression Sato repeats after him. ''I have seen nothing out of the ordinary...''

''... It was just another ordinary domestic violence case...'' States Conan, filling the woman's gaps in memory with a new one.

''... It was just another ordinary domestic violence case...'' Repeats Sato like a good puppy.

Smiling happy that everything seems to be working fine Conan says to her. ''... Kogoro Mouri assaulted his ex-wife and daughter...''

''... Kogoro Mouri assaulted his ex-wife and daughter...''States Sato matter of factly.

''... The situation went out of hand and you were forced to knock him out.'' States Conan to Sato completing her new set of short term memories.

''... The situation went out of hand and I was forced to knock him out.'' Repeats Sato, her eyes suddenly start clearing, but still dazed.

''So what to do with Dad?...'' Asks Ran, looking unsure of what to do with her father.

''Let me deal with this pervert. I guess I can manipulate his long term memories...'' Says Conan, now using his power on the still unconscious Kogoro. Entering the mind of the perfect Conan thinks. -As a fitting punishment for hitting my Erin and calling my Ran a bitch, I guess I'll have to make you someone's bitch.-

Shattering the man's sexual preference for young girls his daughter's age is an easy feat for Conan now, but that is not what he has in mind for Kogoro. Not only receives Kogoro a distaste for all think female, but also a preference for all thinks big cock related. -Better make him interested in big black cocks, otherwise I might end up as one of his 'objects of affection'- Conan thinks to go even a step further in making the former molester only get horny when having sucked cock and being fucked by them in the ass.

Exiting this gay man's head, Conan tells his woman. ''I bet from now on he will not bother you ever again. I have given him new tastes...''

''What did you do?'' Asks Erin, interested what kind of suggestions her lover gave to her ex-husband.

Smirking evil Conan tells her. '' Let's just say our dear Kogoro now has a very different taste. The gay kind, if you know what I mean...''

''We should unchain the officer. I guess her drowsiness wears off.'' Comments Ai, while Erin and Ran are blushing, the realization of what Conan did hitting them.

A short time later handcuffs snap around Kogoros hands, as officer Sato arrests him for assault and sexual harassment and takes him into custody. Seeing the old pervert, now gay pervert being taken away Ran as well as Erin take a breath of relief and turn to Conan.

''You will not use this power on any of us!'' Says Erin, for the first time ever giving Conan a lecture. Despite her being his lover in every way there was still their age difference when it comes to their bodies.

Thinking about it, Conan gets her point while thinking. -Compelling a woman to sleep with you is so boring and lazy. I like the hunt, anticipation, and effort it takes to thoroughly seduce a woman.-

Seeing Ran and Ai look at him wearily and suspicious, he says out loud. ''Ok. Deal. I will not use my new powers on any of you.''

Nodding while looking a bit mad, Ai stated. ''I hope so! I want to thoroughly study your ability!''

''Ai. Let me ask you a question...'' Asks Ran Ai, waiting for the woman/girl to look at her before continuing. ''... Do you have anything else to wear aside from this pullover?''

Looking down at herself and finding the pullover a bit dirty, Ai says. ''No, I don't. I also don't have anything else to wear that fits both my forms.''

''Oh, poor girl...'' Says Erin, still in her scolding mother mode. ''... ahm... woman?''

''Just call me Ai or Shiho depending on my form. Currently, I am a girl, so your first try was already correct.'' Explains Ai, seeing Erins confusion.

''So are we going shopping or what?'' Asks Ran, totally not ready to go shopping.

Seeing her daughter's dissatisfaction Erin tells her. ''Yes, we will, but first, let's eat.''

''Count me in. I hate shopping, but I love eating home cooked meals. I trust your judgment, Erin. Seeing your outfit, you surely must have good taste in food, too.'' States Ai, looking at Erins conservative business outfit.

''Oh, that's great I sure love to dress up someone.'' Says Erin, already mentally going through all kinds of outfits that would fit the girl and woman while walking in the direction of the kitchen.

Seeing Ran and Erin leave the library, to prepare the dinner, Conan takes a breath of release. Being forced to listen to woman conversation, sure is tiring. -How do they remember what the other said?-

''Don't even think that with them gone you would have a piece of quiet. We sure have a lot of tests to make lover boy.'' States Ai, looking like the mad scientist that she is. Before he knows it a needle is already taking a blood sample. ''Outch that hurts.''

Smiling like a vampire at the blood vial, Ai explains. ''Oh, don't be like that. I just need some blood of our to figure out what kind of mutation the APTX 5000 hast trigger and which organ has changed the most.''

''Can you figure out how I can better control my powers?''Asks Conan, hoping to get a clue on how to not use his powers.

''There is one week adjustment period in which you aren't able to properly control it. Your body and mind have to get used to them. For know having part of your mind focused on the cube of yours, should stop you from accidentally killing one of us.''

At the same time, while Conan is subjected to Ais repeated testing, Erin drags her daughter along into the kitchen.

''Mom I don't get you...'' Says Ran, as her mother opens the fridge looking into it. ''... Why did you accept Ai so easy?''

Looking at her beautiful young daughter, caressing her beautiful brown hair Erin tells her. ''Oh, silly darling daughter, didn't you see the attraction between Conan and Ai?''

''Attraction?'' Asks Ran, totally unable to understand her mother's words.

''Hm... you might not see it now, but...'' Erin doesn't know how to properly word her words, a first in her life, as she takes out some vegetables, fetches the cutting board and two knives, handing one to Ran she says. ''... Let me ask you this... if you heard to choose between staying by Conan's side with many other women or not staying with him at all, wouldn't you want to at least have friends also staying with him?''

''So what you mean to say is...'' Ran says trying to formulate her throughs proper words while cutting the vegetables. ''... that we are forced to share our love with other woman and it better be allies than enemies?''

Smiling at her smart daughter Erin says. ''Correct!''

''So you accepted Ai into our little family to make her an ally?'' Asks Ran curious as to what prompted her mothers to shift in attitude regarding the woman/girl.

''Among other things...'' Says Erin, seeing her daughters raised an eyebrow before further elaborating. ''... that being mainly her also saving me when she helped Conan escape the facility back then... She only owed Conan, not me, so her saving me also results in me owning her. Having her stay with us and be an ally is me returning the favor.''

''Ok. I get it now...'' Ran says, putting the cut vegetables into a bowl put in front of her. ''... but doesn't that mean that we better start searching for a woman that we can get along with to join our little family?''

Hearing her daughter give voice to that train of thought, Erin can't refute the logic. ''Better not call it that, but in general, you are right. I just hope that we don't break him if we get too many...''

''I don't think that would become a problem... he was able to handle the two of us even without his superpower...'' Sates Ran, very confident in her lover.

''You might be right, but don't you find his power scary?'' Asks Erin, knowing that there is no guarantee that Conan wouldn't use his power on them one day.

''If someone else like dad had this power I would, but...'' Ran says looking at her mother giving her an innocent bright smile. ''... we know Conan. He seems to love seducing a woman. A man like that would never want to destroy his beloved hobby by simply compelling us...''
