As Akemi said, the apartment building is not very large.
Furthermore, when Guangyou spoke to Mingmei, he deliberately lowered his voice in the first half because of the topic, but not in the second half.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen.
Ai Haibara smiled as she prepared dinner.
She had naturally heard what her older sister said.
She was preparing dinner in the kitchen when she suddenly heard Akemi bring up what had just happened.
Like Mitsuyu, she felt that since she could kiss Akemi in front of her, what was the big deal about bringing up a sweet nothing from back then?
I didn't feel embarrassed at all; I just felt a slight sweetness in my heart.
"This guy is just so-so," Ai pouted, a hint of disdain in her smile as she looked at Kousuke. "He's not that great."
Only she could say such a thing.
If someone says something bad about Guangyou, she'll be the first to refute it.
...
"Whatever, it doesn't matter whether I hear it or not."
No longer dwelling on whether Ai had heard him, Kōyū looked at Akemi and changed the subject:
"Mingmei, have you decided where to meet him?"
"Should I have him come to the apartment, or..."
"I haven't thought about it yet." Mingmei shook her head. Guangyou had just told her that he would arrange for the two of them to meet. In such a short time, she hadn't even considered these things.
"I'll see how it goes." Guangyou also thought of this and added, "As for the method, I guess you haven't thought of it yet, Akemi-nee."
"I haven't decided yet." Mingmei nodded.
"Actually, when I came last time, I thought about how to arrange for the two of you to meet."
Under Akemi's curious gaze, Kōyū told her about all the ways he had thought of to meet her:
Method 1
“One of my ideas is to have him come and say goodbye to your ‘remains’, Sister Mingmei.”
"Let him see the silent 'you'."
"Then you come out and tell him you're not dead."
Before she could finish speaking, Akemi couldn't bear to listen anymore.
She gently tapped Guangyou's head, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction with the plan.
However, Mitsuyu seemed unaware of Akemi's meaning and added:
"Don't worry, Mingmei, I'll find someone to impersonate you."
When it comes to impersonation, the first name that comes to mind for Kōyū is Kaito Kuroba.
“That’s not what I meant.” Akemi tapped Mitsuyu’s head again and said, “I just think this plan isn’t very good.”
"Actually, I think it's pretty good."
Before Kōyū could finish speaking, Akemi added:
"I don't think this plan is very good."
"You should still remember the time you saved me, right?"
"According to your line of thinking and ideas, you should arrange a scene where I am shot in front of him."
"In that case, the effect should be better."
“...”
Upon hearing Akemi's plan, Kōyū's mouth slightly agape, and he inwardly sighed:
"You're really ruthless."
"Mingmei is a true socialite."
In comparison, his plan was utterly crushed.
"Kuangyou, do you have any other plans?" Akemi asked again without explaining in detail how the plan would be implemented.
Judging from her attitude, she was just saying it casually.
It's not that I really want to follow this plan.
“Yes, there are.” Kōyū continued, introducing Akemi:
Method Two
"This method is quite heartwarming and is often seen in movies and TV dramas."
"If I remember correctly, he likes to drink black coffee."
"Let's meet at a coffee shop."
“Mingmei, you disguised yourself as a waitress.”
"Let's see if he can spot you."
"This plan sounds quite plausible." Mingmei considered it for a moment, nodded, and said, "We can consider it."
Meeting in a coffee shop is indeed a common scene in movies and TV shows.
However, there's no need to pursue anything special.
The two of them are the focus of the story.
"There are others," Guangyou added a few more methods:
Method 3
“I’ll have someone impersonate you, and then have that person walk around in front of him, deliberately letting him see you.”
"But we won't let him find it."
"Just keep him hanging."
"Finally, Mingmei, please come out again."
"If the emotions are right, I feel pretty good."
Method Four
"Or use the most old-fashioned kidnapping method: I kidnap you, and then tell him the false information that I'm going to kill you."
"This way, we can make up for the regret from last time."
“I believe that back then, Mingmei, the person you most wanted to save was him.”
Without hiding anything, Akemi nodded and said:
"That's exactly what I've thought."
"Which girl wouldn't want someone she cares about to rescue her in that situation?"
"Shiho must think so too."
“Yes.” Guangyou nodded in agreement, “The hero saves the damsel in distress trope is old, but it has to be said that it’s a classic.”
No matter what tricks they come up with, the core is still the hero saving the damsel in distress.
There's a similar scene at the end of Iron Man 3, where Tony Stark goes to rescue Pepper Potts.
No matter how dazzling the special effects or how convoluted the story, the core of that plot is the hero rescuing the damsel in distress.
Um...
It seems like the damsel in distress saved the hero in the end?
No, you could also say it was a hero saving a damsel in distress.
Looking towards the kitchen, Guangyou slowly said:
"No matter how classic it is, I don't want this kind of thing to happen."
