"Yes, that's right."
After agreeing, Professor Agasa then said:
"Um, I'm so sorry..."
He wanted to apologize to Fusae to express his remorse.
Kofusa seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, so she interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
She blinked rapidly, looked up at the ginkgo leaves on the tree, and said:
"I happened to pass by here this morning and was immediately drawn to this grove of ginkgo trees."
"It's so beautiful that I came back to admire it again this afternoon."
Composing herself and suppressing her turbulent emotions, Fusae smiled and asked Professor Agasa:
Don't you like ginkgo trees?
The words that Professor Agasa was about to say were swallowed back down.
He shook his head in denial, saying:
"I like it, it's really very beautiful."
"Actually, I..."
When Professor Agasa said that she didn't dislike it, Fusae looked up at the ginkgo leaves falling from the sky, a forced smile on her lips.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her cheeks, and combined with the surrounding environment and the temperament she exuded in every gesture, there was an indescribable beauty.
Looking at Fusae, Professor Agasa opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
It's too late to say it now...
This is what Dr. Agasa was thinking at that moment.
He felt that it was better to leave it at that than to talk about it.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Several people nearby were worried about Professor Agasa.
They really hope that Professor Agasa will take more initiative.
When faced with their first love, most people experience a special feeling, and Professor Agasa is no exception.
Not to mention, Professor Agasa has never been in a relationship.
The joy he felt for Fusae, coupled with the guilt he felt for missing so many promises, left Professor Agasa with a complex mix of emotions.
He ultimately remained silent, simply gazing quietly at Fusae.
He looked at this girl who, even after forty years, still held an important place in his heart.
When silent, Dr. Agasa's thoughts began to wander uncontrollably.
Memories from that time flashed through my mind like a slideshow.
...
It wasn't just Professor Agasa who was reminded of the past; Conan was too.
He remembered seeing Fusa once here ten years ago.
Ten years ago, he and Xiaolan were in first grade at Teitan Elementary School.
It was a rainy day.
He forgot his umbrella and wanted to wait for the rain to stop, but he waited for a long time and the rain still didn't stop.
So he used his schoolbag to shield himself from the rain.
On his way home, he happened to see Ran, who also didn't have an umbrella, waiting by the roadside for the rain to stop. She seemed to be talking to Fusae.
After that, he saw Fusa lend her only umbrella to Ran.
At the time, he only glanced at her because Fusa lent her umbrella to Ran.
Of course, he didn't know at the time that the woman's name was Fusa.
They had no idea that there was this hidden story between Fusae and Professor Agasa.
Looking at Professor Agasa and the other person, Conan remarked:
"It's been forty years!"
“...”
He wanted to use some adjectives to describe this feeling that had remained unchanged for forty years.
However, those adjectives seem somewhat inadequate in the face of this relationship.
All I can offer is my heartfelt blessing:
"I hope you can spend many more decades together."
