"You're welcome."
After exchanging a polite greeting, Guangyou glanced back at the apartment with the door tightly closed.
His gaze softened, and his tone became very serious:
"I saved Mingmei because I felt sorry for her."
"It breaks my heart that she has to bear so much since she was a child..."
"Both parents died, and I was separated from my sister."
"It's heartbreaking to see her carrying so much burden while still maintaining a gentle personality and a kind heart."
"I also feel sorry for her. She finally fell in love with someone, but was taken advantage of and almost lost her life because of it."
"If I hadn't saved her back then, she would have never known your real name, Shuichi Akai, until the very last moment of her life."
"At the moment she closed her eyes completely and could never open them again, all she knew was your alias 'Moroboshi Dai'."
"Many reasons can be summed up in one: I feel sorry for this girl."
"She deserves a better life."
As he spoke, Kōyū turned to look at Akai Shuichi, and his gentle gaze vanished instantly.
He added:
You don't need to thank me.
"You should go and apologize to her."
"I've said it before, I understand you."
"If it were me, I would do the same."
"But you didn't handle it very well."
"You're so confident."
"I'm confident the organization won't lay a hand on Akemi because of my girlfriend."
But that's not the case.
"However, Akemi forgave you a long time ago."
A verbal apology is not enough.
"Let's make up for it with concrete actions."
"You need to remember, you only need to do something like this once."
"Just because I can save someone once doesn't mean I can save them a second time."
"Treat her well and don't let her suffer any injustice."
"Although I can't beat you right now, you'll definitely feel bad if she suffers any injustice."
“I am confident that I can do it.”
In response to Kousuke's warning, Shuichi Akai replied with a serious attitude:
"Don't worry, I won't let this happen a second time."
"That would be best."
After making those harsh remarks, Kōyū didn't forget to give Akai Shuichi a sweet treat:
"Treat her well."
"I hope one day I can call you 'brother-in-law'."
After saying that, without waiting for Shuichi Akai's reply, Kōyū turned around and walked into the apartment.
A gentle breeze blew by.
A few strands of hair peeking out from under the black knitted hat swayed gently in the wind.
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Shuichi Akai exhaled a puff of smoke.
The rising smoke obscured part of the view.
At this moment, Shuichi Akai recalled the scene of his time with Akemi two years ago.
Although he didn't have a smile on his face at that time, he actually enjoyed the time he spent with her.
Just as Guangyou said, he was too confident at the time and almost never saw her again.
Now that he has a chance to make amends, he naturally won't miss it.
He couldn't let anything else happen to that girl, no matter what.
This is a promise made by a man.
and...
"Brother-in-law?"
Shuichi Akai chuckled as he repeated the title to himself.
He smiled and said:
"Sounds pretty good."
I must say, this jujube tastes really good.
After finishing his cigarette, Shuichi Akai turned and went back to his apartment.
...
As an FBI investigator, Shuichi Akai naturally couldn't be as leisurely as Kosuke, who had holidays.
After chatting with Akemi for a while longer in the apartment, he prepared to leave.
He said his colleague seemed to have made a new discovery and asked him to go and take a look.
The two had just reunited, and Mingmei naturally felt a little reluctant to part.
However, she can distinguish between what is important and what is not.
Knowing about Shuichi Akai is more important than the brief reunion.
Besides, it's not like they'll never see them again.
Just like two years ago, before leaving, Akemi told Shuichi Akai to be careful.
Shuichi Akai nodded calmly in agreement.
Seeing this, Kwang-woo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:
"Let's start pursuing it again."
"The sense of ritual is indeed stronger."
“They’re already acting like a couple even though they haven’t even ‘caught’ each other yet.”
"Never mind, as long as they're happy."
After listening to Akemi's instructions and giving her his contact information, Shuichi Akai left the apartment.
After Shuichi Akai left the apartment, Akemi said to Mitsuyu:
"Kuangyou, I won't say thank you or anything like that."
"That idea really touched me."
She was referring to Kōyū's idea of getting Akai Shuichi to pursue her again.
In response, Kōyū smiled and said:
"I just think you should experience what it's like to be pursued."
"You can't possibly like someone else, so you can only let him pursue you again."
Upon hearing this, Akemi smiled sincerely and said:
"It's not that important, really."
"For me, just being together is enough."
She doesn't ask for anything; being together is the best thing.
However, Mitsuyu's opinion differed somewhat from hers:
Things are different now than before.
"You didn't escape from the organization before because of special circumstances."
"But now you are free."
"Once we destroy the organization, you'll be no different from other ordinary girls except for having more experiences."
"If I had to say something different, I'd say she's just a little prettier than the average girl."
