"A...date?" Yoruichi Toyama, who had been single for 24 years, only understood the word literally and couldn't find the words to respond.
Shall we go on a date... with Akemi?
That sounds...pretty good?
"However!" In her haste, Yoruichi Toyama, whose mind was already in a mess, made up an excuse.
"However, isn't it dangerous for Akemi to appear in public like this? Maybe I should call Amuro first..."
Ai rolled her eyes again, looking utterly exhausted.
If it weren't for the female PhD student's aloof image, she would have smashed Sailor Moon's cup in his face long ago.
The voice that answered Yoruichi Toyama was not Ai's.
"I think that since Mr. Amuro doesn't mind me acting as a detective at crime scenes, he probably won't mind me going to an amusement park either."
Akemi couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Yoruichi Toyama, who had turned around with an almost terrified expression.
Then she took his hand.
"Okay, let's just say I'm inviting my boyfriend—"
Would you like to go on a date with me at the amusement park?
"I...I..." Yoruichi Toyama stammered for a moment, then finally calmed down and nodded seriously, "Of course I'm willing."
As his gaze turned to her, Ai waved her hand and said, "I'm not going."
"I don't want to eat this kind of low-end dog food that's like high school romance between the two of you."
"Oh." Yoruichi Toyama didn't dare to object and could only obediently agree.
That's how it was settled.
...
Returning to Dorobiga Amusement Park would be impossible for Yoruichi Toyama to remain completely unmoved.
After all, this is the place I inexplicably traveled to.
I also caught a fleeting glimpse of the original size Shinichi Kudo.
I think I even said a few things to him back then.
Who would have thought that I would later actually become best buddies with the shrunken high school detective!
Overwhelmed with emotion, Yoruichi Toyama, while holding Akemi's hand, frequently glanced at Conan, who was following his girlfriend around like a little shadow.
"I think it would be better if Conan took this opportunity to reveal his identity?" Akemi whispered in his ear.
The warm breath, carrying the scent of a young woman, wafted towards his ear, and Toyama Yoru suddenly felt his face burn.
"I...I think so too, but..."
He stammered incoherently, unable to understand what he was saying. He felt as if the bustling amusement park had become a distant memory, like a scene from a two-dimensional cartoon.
Only the warm and gentle young lady beside me is real.
"Great Detective, you're blushing!" Akemi's voice still lingered in my ears, carrying an indescribable allure.
Yoruichi Toyama tried to raise her hand to check the temperature of her face, but found herself stiff and unable to move at all.
"Um, I... Akemi..."
He didn't know what he wanted to say, or even that he had opened his mouth.
My head was buzzing, and I felt like steam was rising from my head.
Seeing his embarrassment, Mingmei couldn't help but chuckle and pressed the Coke can in her hand against his flushed face.
"Hiss... Ah! So cold! What is that? A bomb? A nerve toxin?..."
Yoruichi Toyama's reaction was surprisingly intense; she jumped around wildly like a husky before suddenly realizing what was happening and abruptly stopping with an embarrassed expression.
The Mori family, who were used to Kogoro's antics, all skillfully cast concerned glances their way towards the mentally challenged.
Yuanshan Ye let out a soft chuckle, took the cola, and dejectedly thanked him.
"Calm down, great detective?" Akemi glanced at him with a half-smile, her tone ambiguous, neither teasing nor sarcastic.
After taking two gulps of iced cola, Yoruichi Toyama felt her heartbeat calm down a little and lowered her head to hum in agreement.
"I'm sorry, Akemi, I... I really don't know how to go on a date..."
"Pretty disappointing, isn't it, to have someone like me..."
"What are you saying!" Mingmei interrupted him before he could finish, her smile widening this time.
And it's the kind of smile you get when you encounter an idiot who's impossible to reason with, and you don't know whether to be angry or amused.
What do you think 'dating' is?
"Shouldn't that be..." Toyama Yoichi instinctively answered half a sentence before getting stuck.
By the way, what should a date be like again?
Just kidding! Even though I've never eaten pork, I've seen pigs run before!
Well……
Have you seen it before? ...
After racking her brains for a long time, Yoruichi Toyama finally remembered that several of her colleagues of similar age were also single.
As for the older ones... I don't know if they were married back then because the government assigned them wives or what, but anyway, they were already married.
Old married couples definitely don't go on dates anymore, right?
I have seen couples taking their kids to tutoring classes or something...
Go away!
Having shaken off the thought of immediately succumbing to the mundane realities of daily life, Yoruichi Toyama began to revisit the couples in the anime she had watched.
The first couple is probably the one right in front of us, Shinichi and Ran.
The question is, have they ever dated?
Didn't Shinichi run off to solve a case halfway through the appointment?
Hajime-chan and Miyuki... same as above.
Other than... Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon?
That cosplay seems too difficult, doesn't it?
Thinking of Tuxedo Mask's pretentious appearance, which rivaled that of Kaito Kid, the detective with his goofy personality was a bit stunned.
Seeing his dazed expression, Akemi, who was initially a little annoyed, burst out laughing.
