He spoke of it casually.
It was as if he could easily shoulder all the possible consequences.
It sounds like Guangyou doesn't take this seriously.
But not Conan.
Hearing this, Conan turned to look at Kousuke, feeling deeply moved, but still refused without hesitation:
"No."
"Let me decide this matter myself."
"Thank you anyway."
He wouldn't let Guangyou bear unnecessary risks because of his situation.
Without forcing Conan to agree, Kōyū withdrew his hand from Conan's shoulder and nodded, saying:
"what ever."
"It's not a big deal. If you want to be honest, then go ahead."
"Indecisiveness is not in your nature."
If he had been as hesitant and cautious as he is now, considering the possible consequences before doing anything...
Then there would be no "Conan".
He didn't tell Conan about their collaboration.
One reason is that the partnership hasn't been finalized yet.
He has only contacted the FBI so far, and he has no idea whether he will succeed.
However, the chances are quite high.
Secondly, it's because that's Conan's personality.
Even if he said it, Conan wouldn't change his mind.
"That's true."
Having composed himself, Conan responded with a smile.
His smile lacked the self-deprecation and helplessness from before, and instead contained his usual confidence.
This is the Conan that Mitsuyu knows as the "glasses-wearing brat".
He nodded in satisfaction:
"This is the Conan I know, who, after discovering the situation, ignored everything and went to check it out alone, only to be drugged as a result."
"..." Conan's smile became somewhat stiff.
Can't we just leave this topic out of the way?
The stiff smile didn't last long; after only a few seconds, it returned to its previous state.
"never mind."
"This feeling is actually quite nice."
He thought to himself that this.
After comforting Conan, Kōyū got up and moved the chair back to its original position.
He lay down on his bed and took out his phone to check it.
Seeing that Ai had sent him a text message, he replied with one.
Then, not long after, Ai replied to him.
He posted another message.
She replied to him again.
The two started chatting via text message.
While they were talking, Kwang-woo was thinking:
When will smartphones finally be released?
If he didn't lack knowledge of chip manufacturing and other mobile phone manufacturing technologies...
So he took care of it himself.
Why would anyone wait for those companies to build it?
Like that one that exploded last time...
Smartphones already exist in the world today.
The translated name would be "Simon".
This phone is widely recognized as the world's first smartphone.
It was manufactured in collaboration between IBM and BellSouth.
It has many functions and no physical buttons; it is operated entirely via a touchscreen.
The news was announced three or four years ago, and it went on sale the following year, priced at $899.
Converted to Japanese Yen, it's roughly over 90,000.
Converted to RMB, it's about six thousand.
It's a considerable sum.
This smartphone is sold in nearly two hundred cities in the United States.
This is not available here in Japan.
Or very few.
Anyway, Guangyou has never seen it.
This phone undoubtedly has a lot of functions by today's standards.
But in his opinion, the phone was still lacking because it couldn't even install third-party software.
However, this phone is indeed a milestone.
He wanted to set Ai's photo as his screensaver, desktop background, and app avatar.
These are things that "Simon" cannot do.
"Hopefully it will be done soon."
Thinking of the possible existence of a "Noah's Ark," Kōyū sighed for the mobile phone companies:
"If you guys don't step up your game, I'll do it myself."
He might not be able to build it, but Noah's Ark certainly could.
Let him research the core technologies, and he will fund the establishment of the company.
These are just thoughts, let's not even discuss whether Noah's Ark actually exists.
Even if it exists, it still needs time to grow and be studied.
During this time, those companies will surely be able to develop smartphones that meet his requirements.
After recovering from these events, Kōyū focused all his attention on chatting with Ai.
...
After Kōyū's simple and direct words of advice, Conan felt much better.
Although no decision has been made yet, it won't diminish his "positive and sunny" persona.
After moving the chair back, Conan glanced at Kōyū, who had a sweet smile on his face, and thought to himself:
"Should I confess my feelings first?"
"Let's talk about the honest stuff later?"
He had planned to confess his feelings along with his confession.
Just like what Guangyou told him before.
Being honest when confessing your feelings might be better.
But honesty also has its drawbacks.
In short, both have their advantages and disadvantages.
He's torn about this and hasn't made a decision yet.
"Forget it, let's put the honesty aside for now."
Sighing, Conan suddenly remembered the dog food that Kousuke had forced into his mouth earlier that day, and thought to himself:
"Let's think about how to confess our feelings first."
Having made up his mind, he left the room, intending to take a bath and relax.
On his way to the bathroom, Conan ran into Ran.
