He had originally planned to take Ai out to play.

As a result, in the end, they didn't play much at all; all their time was spent on the murder case.

Compared to this kind of unpleasant holiday, this kind of holiday, where I sit on the sofa and watch TV, is definitely more pleasant.

Being surrounded by the girl I like, enjoying delicious snacks, and watching TV programs that aren't boring—this kind of holiday life is simply perfect.

It's just missing a bottle of soda.

"It's almost time, I'll go prepare dinner." After saying this, Ai got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Watching her retreating figure, Guangyou, as always, offered a reminder:

Be careful when you use the knife.

"Okay." Ai replied with her back to Kousuke and went into the kitchen.

Once Ai's figure disappeared from sight, Kōyū turned back to continue watching TV.

Just then, he heard Mingmei's voice; she said:

"Kuangyou, I want to talk to you."

"Talk to me?" Kōyū looked at Akemi, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Akemi-neechan, what do you want to talk to me about? Ai?"

After hesitating for a moment, Akemi shook her head, pursed her lips, and said:

"no."

“You two have a stable relationship, and I believe you can take good care of Shiho. There’s nothing to talk about.”

"My only wish right now is for time to pass quickly."

"That way I can see you two get married sooner, and then I can finally rest easy."

"Well..."

Hearing this, Guangyou blushed slightly, scratched his head sheepishly, and said in a slightly softer voice, "It's still early."

After hearing what Mingmei said, he really wanted a time machine similar to the one in Nobita's drawer, so he could go to the future and see those kinds of scenes.

“I know.” Mingmei chuckled a few times, putting away her teasing tone, and said, “I have something else to talk to you about.”

"What is it?" Kōyū controlled himself from imagining that scene and listened attentively to Akemi's words.

"There's something I want to talk to you about..." Akemi took a slight breath, her expression hesitant, but she finally spoke.

"It's about him."

"Him?" Guangyou was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.

He knew that Akemi was referring to Shuichi Akai.
