"But I'll go first."
"In this respect, I'm afraid I've made you feel a little wronged, because I... I had a boyfriend before..."
Shuichi Akai?
Yoruichi Toyama immediately thought of the FBI investigator who was far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
He blurted out, "Ah, I know."
You know?
Akemi raised her eyebrows high, and stopped talking as she was about to continue.
"Um, I..." Realizing she was about to be exposed, Yoruichi Toyama quickly tried to salvage the situation, "I heard it from Ai."
"Honestly, why is she so gossipy!"
Akemi's expression softened, and she complained with a smile.
Because her younger sister always complains that "she only likes scumbags or silly guys," she doesn't think there's anything wrong with that explanation.
Yoruichi Toyama secretly breathed a sigh of relief and listened attentively as his girlfriend recounted the story of her ex-husband—no, her ex-boyfriend.
The story of an agent who meticulously approaches her in order to infiltrate the distillery through her.
"However, we did start dating later on."

If I remember correctly, Akemi sent a text message to Shuichi Akai before she went to rob the bank.
I don't know if "this time" was posted before.
After all, at that time, he and Mingmei had only just met, so it shouldn't have affected her actions yet.
Akemi's smile turned somewhat self-deprecating.
"Yes! I changed my phone number, so naturally he can't contact me..."
"However... nobody knows that I actually always remembered his phone number... Gin didn't know either..."
"Just before that bank robbery, I risked sending a text message to that number, wanting to ask him... to ask him..."
Even though she knew the contents of the text message, Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but feel her heart pounding with nervousness as she watched Akemi's changing expressions.
Does she still blush when she mentions Shuichi Akai now?
Does that mean...?
“I don’t know what I was thinking,” Mingmei said shyly. “Maybe I just asked it on a whim.”
"I asked him if, if I succeed in this mission and leave the organization, could we date as a real couple..."
