Looking at the two "strategists" beside him who were still arguing endlessly about "how to pursue Yuzuru Hanyu" and even started discussing the feasibility of "making it a fait accompli".
(Yumi: "I think we can get him drunk!")
Miaozi: "S-Senior! This is a crime!"
Sato Miwako suddenly found it both funny and reassuring.
She quietly took her phone out from under her pillow, unlocked it, and skillfully opened her email inbox.
The pinned message was one she had set to be saved forever, which she had read countless times but never replied to.
Sender: Matsuda Jinpei
Content: 【あんたの事わりと好きだったぜ】
(I quite like you. / I quite enjoy working with you.)
This text message was like a belated, vague confession, but it was also more like an acknowledgment of her work ability and a farewell.
It was like an invisible yet incredibly resilient thorn, deeply embedded in her heart for three whole years, occasionally popping up to prick her and reminding her of that past filled with the smoke of battle and helplessness, which ultimately ended in tragic sacrifice.
She stared at the text message for a very long time, as if trying to etch every pseudonym into her heart.
Then, amidst the background noise of Yumi Miyamoto and Naeko Miike arguing heatedly about whether to demonstrate their cooking skills or fighting techniques first, she gently, yet with unwavering determination, pressed the red "Delete" button with her fingertip.
A confirmation prompt appears on the screen.
Without any hesitation, she clicked "Confirm" again.
The text message that had troubled her for three years, carrying too many complex emotions, along with that heavy past that made her feel suffocated, disappeared into the data stream.
Sato Miwako let out a long, silent sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted, and she felt much more relaxed.
She looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window, a genuinely relaxed smile on her face, filled with anticipation for the future.
It's time to move on completely.
Only by saying goodbye to the past can we embrace the future.
Go and embrace... a new chapter in Sato Miwako's life.
...
At the same time, at Yuzuru's residence.
"Young Master Yuzuru, breakfast is ready!"
A maid's gentle voice came from downstairs.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Yu Sheng Nan had just finished washing up and was admiring his flawless, handsome face in the mirror, which looked as if it had been kissed by the gods.
"Tsk, with that face, why not cross-dress and scam some money... Ugh! What are you thinking!" He quickly shook his head, forcibly banishing a dangerous idea that might open the door to a new world from his mind.
His face was righteous and awe-inspiring.
"I will never cross-dress, not in my entire life! I'm a pure man!"
Muttering to himself, Yuzuru picked up his phone from the sink to check the date and weather.
Then he saw the unread text message from Vermouth.
Click to take a look—
The first thing that catches the eye is a visually striking photograph: London Bridge at sunset, where two mature women with contrasting styles but equally stunning beauty are kissing, one aggressively pursuing the other in a state of shock and anger, creating a highly dramatic scene.
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled: "What the hell? Akai Mary? The sister from outside the domain?"
He originally thought that because of his intervention, the blonde, blue-eyed, super-powerful little girl from the original story might not appear. How come Bayonetta secretly and arbitrarily brought back this "classic plot"?
"I have to say, aptX-4869 is really a 'miracle drug' under certain specific conditions..." he muttered, stroking his chin. "It's just that the triggering conditions are too damn mysterious!"
Vermouth administered the medication mouth-to-mouth.
A researcher with a death wish took his own medication on a rainy day.
The famous detective was knocked unconscious and forcibly given medicine;
Apart from that, all other situations are basically a guaranteed instant death package.
This probability is even more outrageous than the probability of encountering three consecutive murders in Beika Town and escaping unscathed.
This is the greatest insult to probability theory.
Yuzuru zoomed in on the picture with great interest, admiring the famous scene of Vermouth "forcefully kissing" Mary Akai in the photo. His fingertips traced the corners of Vermouth's mischievous smile and Mary Akai's humiliated and angry eyes on the screen.
He had to admit it with his conscience.
"No wonder everyone loves to see lilies in bloom and beautiful women cuddling together. Putting aside the underlying danger, the scene is indeed pleasing to the eye!"
However, Yuzuru quickly noticed the overly arrogant background of the photo: "Wait... right in front of MI6 headquarters, he's pinning down a former ace agent... oh no, I mean kissing him? And the thing is, MI6 hasn't even reacted? This..."
"Tsk~"
He shook his head and sighed, "The once mighty British Empire has finally set in the west; even the great general Lian Po is getting old."
My house was burgled right outside my door and I didn't even notice. I'm doomed.
But the suggestive, self-serving comment Vermouth added to the photo made his lips twitch involuntarily, and he felt his reputation had been damaged once again.
【Little master, I've created a freshly baked loli for you~ No need to thank me too much~ (*￣3￣)╭ Remember to check your package~】
Yuzuru felt a vein throbbing merrily on his forehead.
"What do you mean you created a loli for me?! I'm really not a lolicon!" he cried out inwardly, feeling utterly wronged. "This is slander! It's defamation! It's like snow in June!"
well......
Believe it or not, it really snowed.
He turned to look out the window—
Outside the window, snowflakes began to fall heavily, I don't know when...
Yuzuru Hanyu: "......" (￣_￣|||)
Well, the weather in the world of Detective Conan is just that capricious and unreasonable, even more unpredictable than a woman's mood.
He silently picked up his phone and sent Vermouth a text message filled with "condemnation":
【Bellette! How could you treat Ms. Akai like that?! She's my Akemi and Ai's real aunt! (Heartbroken.jpg) This behavior is so immoral! So disrespectful to an elder! ...Next time, remember to take more pictures from different angles, preferably with high-definition close-ups and slow-motion videos. (Dog head emoji for protection.jpg)】
After sending the text message, Yuzuru hummed a tune happily as he went downstairs to have breakfast.
Although she wouldn't admit it, the thought of a new blonde, blue-eyed, and possibly slightly arrogant little girl (auntie version) about to appear...
Hmm, for some reason, I'm actually feeling a little bit of anticipation.
At the dining table, the tea-haired girl, who was sipping milk and reading the morning paper, suddenly shivered and looked up suspiciously at the air conditioner: "The temperature is fine..."
...
...
(Happy National Day, everyone!)
