At this moment, Guangyou was comfortably soaking in the bathtub.

He leaned against the bathtub, exchanging text messages with Ai on his phone.

Ai started the conversation today.

She said that after dinner today, Ayumi and the other two would come to Professor Agasa's house to play video games.

The research into the antidote must not be discovered by Ayumi and her two companions.

So she treated it as a few days off for herself.

I conducted research for so many consecutive days, often staying up late into the night.

Moreover, she had been sick not long ago, and although she had recovered, her body had not fully recovered.

She really should take a day off.

It's important to balance work and rest.

Health is the most important thing.

After taking a bath, Kwang-yu leaned against the headboard of his bed and continued exchanging text messages with Ai.

Before they started their intensive research work, Ai and he would often exchange text messages like this until they went to sleep.

The same applies today.

Wanting Ai to get some rest, Kousuke deliberately ended the chat early.

They said goodnight to each other, and Guangyou put away his phone, lay down in bed, closed his eyes, and waited to fall asleep.

...

Early the next morning.

After washing up and having breakfast, Kōyū took the things he bought for Ai and went to find her.

When he arrived, Ai was already awake and sitting at the table eating breakfast.

Ai greeted Kōyū upon seeing him.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

After Kōyū replied, Ai asked him:

"You went shopping again yesterday? So much stuff."

Sitting next to Ai, Kōyū said to her:

"Isn't it because the weather has turned cooler recently and the temperature is fluctuating a lot?"

"I happened to be out yesterday, so I bought a few outfits."

"These bags are all for you."

"Besides clothes, there are also scarves, gloves and the like."

"I'll go back to my room and try it after I finish breakfast," Ai said after taking a bite of her breakfast and swallowing it.

"Okay." Guangyou put the shopping bag aside first.

Then he said:

"I'll knit you a scarf by hand someday."

"It's really surprising that a boy like you can knit scarves," Ai said, stirring the oatmeal in her bowl with a spoon.

"When I wasn't on missions and was bored, I learned a little bit of everything," Guangyou explained to her.

He used to stay at home after his missions were over.

Because I was so bored, I started finding things to do.

He learned to knit scarves when he was bored in winter and suddenly became interested in it.

"By the way, what are Ayumi and the others doing?" Kōyū asked Ai, looking to the side.

When he arrived, he saw not only Ai Haibara, but also Ayumi and the other two on the other side.

Not knowing if something was missing, Ayumi, her two friends, and Professor Agasa, a total of four people, searched everywhere.

While eating breakfast, Ai explained:

"There's a letter that the doctor has somehow put away."

"They are searching for it now."

"Believe me? Okay."

After glancing at Ayumi and the other two who were searching everywhere, Kōyū asked Ai:

"Speaking of which, why did these three children arrive so early?"

"Or maybe they didn't go back at all yesterday."

“I didn’t go back at all.” Ai raised her chin, gesturing towards the bed in that direction.

She said:

"Just like the last time we went to the preview screening, the three of us were lying sideways on the bed."

"Oh." Guangyou nodded.

While the two were chatting, Conan arrived at Professor Agasa's house.

In the morning, Xiaolan and Yuanzi went shopping together.

Having little interest in shopping, he chose to stay at the firm.

He was bored by himself, so he thought he'd come and take a look.

Pushing open the door and entering, Conan saw the living room in complete disarray and approached Kōyū, asking:

What are they doing? Spring cleaning?

Afterwards, Mitsuyu told Conan about Professor Agasa losing the letter.

Since he had nothing else to do, Conan decided to go and help look for it.

Guangyou, on the other hand, slightly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

He always felt like he had forgotten something.

I just can't remember it right now, just like a few days ago.

By this time, Ai had finished her breakfast.

After putting the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, she said to Guangyou:

"I'll go try on the clothes you bought."

"Okay." Guangyou also stood up from his chair, preparing to clear the dishes.

...

After trying on the clothes, Ai put them away.

By this time, Guangyou had almost finished packing up.

However, even now, Ayumi and the others on the other side still haven't found the letter that Professor Agasa lost.

"Professor, what does that letter you mentioned look like?" Conan asked Professor Agasa.

If he wanted to be distinctive, he would probably own many luxury homes.

After recalling what the letter looked like, Professor Agasa said:

"The letter was in a postcard-sized envelope."

"I don't remember the specifics very well."

After saying that, Professor Agasa scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Doctor, what did that letter say?" Ayumi asked, not knowing much about these things.

"It's a wedding invitation for the son of a PhD friend of mine," Dr. Agasa said somewhat awkwardly.

He said:

"It seems there's also a reply postcard in the envelope to be sent back today to confirm whether I'll attend."

"You should keep something this important safe, Doctor," Genta said as he helped search for it.

“That’s right,” Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement.

Just then, Kōyū suddenly noticed a "decoration" on Ai's hair as she returned to the living room.
