Yoruichi Toyama was speechless for a moment.
Although he had given away spoilers, he already knew that Akemi had sent that text message to Shuichi Akai's phone.
Furthermore, since that was the number Shuichi Akai used in Japan, especially when he was working at the brewery, it's very likely that it's been abandoned long ago.
Of course, Akemi herself knows these things best.
So rather than questioning Shuichi Akai, she was simply saying things to the tree hollow that she wouldn't normally dare to say.
But at this moment, Yoruichi Toyama, as her current boyfriend, still felt a little strange hearing his girlfriend mention this not-so-old story.
Akemi seemed to be waiting for his reaction as well.
"Ah, um..." Yoruichi Toyama finally spoke, somewhat hesitantly, "You...you still like him, don't you?"
"I don't know if that counts as liking someone..."
Akemi, who has always been very direct and honest with Yoruichi Toyama, became hesitant at this moment, as if she had thought through every word repeatedly, but still did not know whether she should say it or not.
“I actually had a feeling that his approach to me and even his relationship with me was for ulterior motives. I had a vague idea long before he told me his true identity.”
"If you look at it that way, our relationship was based on deception from the very beginning, so I have absolutely no idea whether the relationship itself is also a form of deception..."
"Sending that text message was, I'd say, a bit of a fit of pique... I just wanted to know, if we met normally in a different setting, under different identities, would he still..."
Akemi spoke thoughtfully for a while, then, seemingly noticing the atmosphere was too quiet, turned to Yoruichi Toyama and gave a wistful smile.
"Yoruichi, I'm saying all this so that you can understand me better..."
"I may seem like a well-behaved person on the surface, but I'm actually the kind of restless woman who loves pranks and adventure..."
"I'm worried that you're thinking too highly of me..."
How could that be!
When he heard her say these things, Yoruichi Toyama suddenly thought.
After all, she already knew that Ms. Hirota Masami, the bank employee, was a powerful figure from a dark organization who personally planned and carried out a 1 billion yen robbery.
As for her lack of disguise skills, yet ability to change her appearance with makeup alone, her love of the bizarre, and her ability to manipulate detectives, these were things she already knew long before the two became acquainted.
Only in this way, when she returned after haggling with the police and energetically took up half of the sky of that half-baked detective agency, did Yoruichi Toyama not feel any surprise and accepted it as a matter of course.
How could she think that she was "thinking too highly of her"?
What kind of "good" is the kind of "good" that she talks about, the kind of "good" that Japanese women are gentle, virtuous, and good at supporting their husbands and raising their children?
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it.
"But I didn't think of you that way!"
"I think I've suddenly forgotten who that girl was who shouted in the street that I was a pervert?"
“Ah, you…” Akemi blushed instantly when the old story was suddenly brought up.
"You're such an annoying person!"
But this "annoying" was said without any real harm.
She even stomped her foot as she spoke.
The stomping of her feet also carries a hint of coquetry.
Yoruichi Toyama's heart suddenly raced, and an inexplicable heat surged through her body.
Quite remarkably, this time he caught Mingmei's waist perfectly without any mishaps.
Akemi was pulled into his arms without resistance, and as they drew closer, she suddenly murmured, "I... my drink... is going to spill..."
Yoruichi Toyama was momentarily distracted, and sure enough, she felt her other hand had crushed the drink cup, the cold beverage dripping through her fingers.
“Mine spilled too…” he said as he continued to move closer, their eyes meeting as he used his lips to search for the other’s.
"Let's buy a new one later..."
"Then I want to drink... um..."
Akemi didn't finish her sentence, but she closed her eyes and gave up any more struggle.
Open your arms wide to welcome this long-awaited moment.
Yoruichi Toyama, of course, is the same.
...
Although it's a secluded, tree-lined path, with the high volume of visitors at an amusement park, it's not like no one will pass by at all.
However, everyone was sensible enough to walk around the young couples who were deeply kissing without disturbing them.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Yoruichi Toyama finally snapped out of her dizzy state.
But he still couldn't let go of the soft body in his arms.
Akemi smiled and gently nudged him.
"The drink has been spilled..."
"Oh right!" Yoruichi Toyama realized what was happening, took the two paper cups that were already in terrible condition from their hands, and threw them into a nearby trash can.
They looked for a place to wash their hands but couldn't find one.
“Maybe this place is too remote,” Akemi said, taking his hand, which was also covered in drink, “Let’s go back to the cold drink stand.”
"good."
Yoruichi Toyama, who had her first close encounter with a young lady in her life, has now become severely mentally impaired, and can only speak one word at a time.
Akemi glanced at him, suppressing a laugh, as if she was about to say "idiot" again.
But in the end, they simply held hands and walked forward quietly.
"Um..." Yoruichi Toyama racked her brains before finally finding a topic, "When is your ex-husband... no, ex-boyfriend coming back?"
"Hmm?" Mingmei turned to look at him, raising her eyebrows warily.
"No, what I mean is..." Yoruichi Toyama quickly explained weakly, "Isn't he going to take down the brewery? Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future..."
