“Idiot…” she said.
Then she reached out again, not to clasp hands, but to gently hook her fingers with Yoruichi Toyama's.
"Just think of it as accompanying Conan and Kogoro to help Ran regain her memories."
“Consider this a special mission for our Black Cat Detective Agency… although,” she turned her head and winked playfully, “we didn’t bring Kotaro along.”
Yoichi Toyama was stunned for a moment, but the term "special mission" calmed him down unconsciously.
Oh, another mission!
That's easy.
The bustling amusement park is back, with the Ferris wheel, observation tower, and roller coaster cursed by some strange power clearly visible in the distance.
Not far ahead, Kogoro and Eri walked awkwardly side by side, while Ran and Sonoko linked arms, looking around and pointing and laughing.
Conan, with his short legs, struggled to keep up, his big head visibly churning with thoughts.
"Oh, right!" Yoruichi Toyama suddenly said, "We can ask Conan where he and Ran went last time and recreate the places. It might be helpful."
He remembered that it was like that in the movie, Conan took Ran to the musical fountain, and at the moment the water curtain shot up, Ran's memories were also unlocked.
This should be a good idea.
Yoru Toyama, brimming with confidence, strode up to Conan, wanting to whisper something to him.
Akemi, still holding his finger, was involuntarily led over, a helpless smile on her face as she walked.
“Idiot…” she murmured again.
...
Despite not having regained her memory, Xiaolan felt no sadness at all, with her parents and best friend by her side; on the contrary, she was carefree and happy.
Conan, who was struggling to keep up with the group, seemed a little down.
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't resist pulling him aside and whispering in his ear.
"Hey, you haven't forgotten where you guys went last time, have you?"
Conan clearly wanted to roll his eyes at him, but his gaze first fell on the hands he and Akemi were holding, and his expression immediately turned a little jealous and a little gossipy.
"So why are you still following us?" For some reason, Conan's expression at this moment was somewhat similar to Ai's.
It carried a feeling of disappointment and frustration.
"Aren't you and Miss Akemi supposed to be on a date?"
"Well……"
The mere mention of "dating" makes Yoruichi Toyama feel like she's in a steamer again.
Akemi had no choice but to pull him back, then turned to Conan and smiled.
"We'd like to help with your situation with Miss Xiaolan!"
"I think it's because someone simply doesn't know how to date."
Although he is only 17 years old in reality, Conan is surprisingly perceptive in this regard.
He even lowered his head with a deep expression, pushed up his glasses, shook his head, and sighed.
"Yuanshan, you can't go on like this! You're destined to be single forever!"
"I want you to be single!"
Yoruichi Toyama retorted, her face flushed.
Fortunately, we were just venting to each other with our best friends, and gradually we found our rhythm again.
"Okay, I've given you some good ideas, now let's go on our date, alright?"
"Where do you want to take her? We can't go on roller coasters anymore!"
The mere mention of roller coasters sent a chill down Conan's spine, leaving him with an expression of utter dismay.
"Of course I can't... Oh dear, I want you to be widowed!"
Conan, realizing he had almost revealed his entire plan, also blushed, and the two of them looked like a pair of steamed crabs.
Akemi burst out laughing.
"However, isn't it a bit too bold to confess in front of Mr. Kogoro and Attorney Kisaki?"
"I'm also worried about this..." Conan blurted out the truth without thinking, "W-what?! Who said I was going to confess?!"
Yoruichi Toyama is the type of person who, when it doesn't concern her, thinks faster than anyone else. She immediately started stroking Conan's big head and laughing.
"We all think that the most effective way is for you to formally confess your feelings and tell her your true identity."
"Otherwise, even if she regains her memory, waiting for you will be very painful for her."
When it came to practical issues, Conan couldn't help but sigh.
"Have you forgotten? Touko-ge told me not to leak any secrets..."
"No, I think you're having a misconception?"
Yoruichi Toyama did not refute this question at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized something was wrong.
"The only person the brewery is truly wary of right now is Ai Haibara."
"After all, she has access to the distillery's cutting-edge technology and can turn against them at any time."
"As for Akemi..."
When Yoruichi Toyama mentioned the girl who is now her girlfriend, she paused for a moment.
"I think if the distillery knew she was still alive, they certainly wouldn't have let her go, but that was just to establish their authority."
"Reasons such as not tolerating the existence of traitors."
“Mingmei is completely unfamiliar with the winery and poses no threat whatsoever.”
“And you, Shinichi Kudo,” Yoruichi Toyama said, a rather sarcastic smile playing on her lips, “know absolutely nothing about the brewery.”
"Even if you reappear in your original form now, the two people who attacked you back then, Gin and Vodka, won't feel any danger."
"Because at the time you couldn't be sure what illegal things they were doing, and you didn't know either of them."
"Moreover, Amuro once said that those two people did not reveal their identities and always operated in secret. Even if you reported them to the police, you would not know where to arrest them."
"What do you think you could possibly have that would make the distillery wary?"
