"No matter what choice you make in the end, Mingmei, I will support you unconditionally." Guangyou naturally knew what to say at this moment.
Moreover, that's what he thought too.
As an undercover agent, one should not develop feelings for the target.
But emotions are inherently difficult to control; they're not like a switch that you can turn on or off at any time by pressing a button.
Even the switches can break down.
Not to mention feelings.
Once feelings are formed, it's hard to let go.
In that case, Shuichi Akai needs to take responsibility.
It's important to understand that if it weren't for Shuichi Akai, Akemi would still be an unofficial member and would never have been on the kill list.
It's not that all the blame is placed on Shuichi Akai.
After all, it was all for the purpose of capturing Gin.
To achieve this goal, Shuichi Akai, an FBI investigator, chose to approach Akemi Miyano as a springboard to enter the organization.
By leveraging the sisterly relationship between Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano, as well as the latter's status as a formal member of the organization, they quickly gained the organization's trust.
This will allow them to obtain more intelligence and also provide an opportunity to capture Gin.
The plan itself is not wrong; it could be a very good plan.
But Shuichi Akai never expected that he would develop feelings for Akemi.
The uncontrollable variable of emotions caused things to change.
It was just an accident.
However, Shuichi Akai did not do a very good job, and Akemi wanted him to put in some effort to find her, which Mitsuyu understood.
Even if Mingmei doesn't choose any method in the end, he will still support her.
"Kuangyou, thank you." Akemi gently stroked Kuangyou's hair and smiled tenderly.
"It's nothing." Guangyou didn't shake off Mingmei's hand. He smiled and said, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Upon hearing this, Akemi raised an eyebrow at Kōyū, her lips curving upwards into a meaningful smile.
Then she asked:
"Since we're family, why are you still calling me Sister Mingmei?"
"If we don't call her Mingmei-nee, then what should we call her?" Guangyou was stunned and didn't react.
Seeing Kōyū's stunned expression, Akemi rubbed her forehead, shook her head, and sighed softly:
"You're usually quite smart, how come you can't think of that now?"
"Can't think of anything?" Guangyou was about to ask Mingmei, but he didn't ask, because he thought of a possibility.
Doubting his own guess, Kōyū frowned and looked at Akemi with a questioning gaze.
Then he saw Mingmei nod to him and say:
"It seems you probably guessed it."
That simple sentence seemed to possess some kind of magic, making Guangyou unable to suppress a laugh.
He was professionally trained, but those words were like an armor-piercing bullet, piercing through Guangyou's armor and striking his heart.
It took him several seconds to suppress his smile.
Seeing Kōyū like this, Akemi smiled.
Actually, she had wanted to say it for a long time.
They were discussing serious matters just now, so they only brought it up now.
"Mingmei-nee..." Guangyou blurted out, then realized it and quickly corrected himself, calling her that again.
"sister!"
It looks like it's just missing the first part of the name.
However, the two titles have completely different meanings.
Even if you're only slightly close, you can call him that, while the latter, from a certain perspective, indicates that he has already gained Akemi's approval.
It sounds like I'm meeting your parents.
This is similar to the difference between calling your girlfriend's mother "auntie" and "mom".
If the other person acknowledges the latter form of address, it means she accepts the relationship.
Of course, Guangyou doesn't think anyone would be so emotionally unintelligent as to call their girlfriend's mother "auntie." He's just giving an example.
"Mm," Akemi replied with a relieved smile.
"I didn't expect it to be so sudden." Guangyou said, "We're all family," but he didn't expect to change his tune like this.
"You and Shiho already have this kind of relationship, why the sudden change?" Akemi deliberately put on a stern face, her tone turning cold.
She asked:
"Don't you want to take responsibility for Shiho?"
"How could that be?" Kōyū quickly waved his hand, defending himself, "Don't worry, sis, I will definitely take responsibility for Ai."
After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong with what he said.
This sounds so much like something he did to Ai Haibara.
It involves human lives.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
That's not the point.
"That's good." Mingmei's expression softened, but her tone was still somewhat cold. "If you do something like that, I definitely won't let you off the hook."
This statement is six parts false and four parts true.
Although she believed in Guangyou, she still had to say these things.
If Kousuke really did something to wrong Ai, then she will definitely not let him off the hook.
Even if she can't beat them.
And it doesn't matter if she can't beat them, she can ask Shuichi Akai to come and help.
After being called a few times, Guangyou gradually got used to the name.
He knew there was a joking element to that statement, but he still patiently reassured Mingmei about it:
"Don't worry, sister."
"I wouldn't do such a thing."
"I'm a very narrow-minded person."
"So small that it can only fit Ai Haibara alone."
Changing her previous expression, Akemi smiled at Kōyū and said:
