“Shiho wouldn’t do that.” Akemi took a deep breath and forced a smile. “If she says anything about you, I’ll explain for you.”
"That's good." Guangyou patted his chest with his other hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
But inwardly he sighed:
He could tell that Mingmei wasn't feeling much better.
I was just forcing a smile so as not to worry him.
She was still very upset.
That's normal; try to put yourself in their shoes.
When you find out that the person you like is actually an undercover agent, and an undercover agent sent by an enemy, those with poor psychological resilience may break down on the spot.
Not to mention pretending nothing's wrong and chatting and laughing with the other person.
It's like if Pleasant Goat falls in love one day, only to find out that the person he likes is actually Big Bad Wolf in disguise, he would be very upset.
If it were Guangyou, he might be able to do it, but due to psychological resistance, he couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't notice.
Seeing Akemi's expression, as if she could burst into tears at any moment, Kōyū couldn't help but feel resentful towards Akai Shuichi:
"Shuichi Akai..."
"As an FBI agent, pretending to be a suitor to get close to someone is indeed a good way to complete a mission, but... your approach was really inappropriate."

When you're being honest, why not confess your feelings to the other person at the same time?
No matter what, you have to face your inner feelings first.
In fact, Kōsuke can understand how Akai Shuichi joined the organization, as it was something he had done before.

Before the relationship has developed to a certain extent, they deliberately create conflicts in order to achieve the goal of breaking up.
Although he had no feelings for that person, he couldn't let the other person think about him.
Because it's too troublesome, he won't use this method unless absolutely necessary.
He probably only used it once or twice.
Having experienced the previous accident, he had almost forgotten about this trivial matter from so long ago.
Anyway, it's not much.
As an undercover agent, one shouldn't develop genuine feelings, but since one has, then one should make proper arrangements and at least give a positive answer.
Even if it's just like in movies and TV shows, setting a goal or setting a flag is fine, for example:
"I will definitely rescue you!"
Unfortunately, Shuichi Akai did not do that.
This is also why Guangyou said he handled it rather poorly.
