After hanging up the phone, Guangyou didn't immediately return to the screening room. Instead, he went in the opposite direction and bought something.
When I returned to the screening room, the movie had just started.
"Did you eat something bad?" Ai asked with concern, noticing that Kousuke had been gone for so long. "How are you feeling now?"
"No." Guangyou shook his head.
He put his hands behind his back, as if he was hiding something.
"What are you hiding?" Ai glanced at it and then asked Kousuke.
"This is for you." Guangyou stopped hiding it and brought the thing from behind his back to the front.
The light from the movie screen allowed Ai to see clearly what Kousuke was holding in his hand.
It's a rose, a vibrant red rose.
Seeing the flowers, Ai's lips curled up slightly, forming a barely perceptible arc. She asked Kōyū:
Why did you suddenly buy this?
"This is our first date since we last met, so how can we go without flowers?" Guangyou said, handing the flowers forward.
"It's quite pretty." Ai took the flower, examined it for a moment, and then smelled it. "It smells quite nice too."
After sitting down, Kōyū made up an excuse for himself and explained to Ai:
"I don't know why, but there were several people queuing up to buy it just now."
"That's why I came back a little late."
"It's not too late, the movie is just starting." Ai seemed to have no doubts. She held the flowers in her right hand and placed her left hand on the armrest next to her seat, and said to Kōyū, "Let's watch the movie."
"Hmm," Guangyou responded, glancing to his side.
He instantly understood what Ai meant, and reached out his right hand to take Ai's hand.
The two were completely absorbed in watching the movie, not chatting, and their only interaction was feeling the warmth of each other's hands as they held each other's.
After watching the movie for an hour and a half, Kōyū and Aoi left the cinema hand in hand.
Their date for the day has come to an end.
After dropping Ai off, Kousuke returned to his agency.
The first thing I did upon returning to the agency was to talk to Conan about the plans for the operation.
When Conan found out, a hint of joy appeared on his face, which he could not hide.
He asked about the specifics of the Guangyou Plan.
Guangyou also revealed the details of the plan without any concealment.
Conan originally wanted to ask if there was anything he could help with, but after listening to what Conan said, he realized he couldn't offer any assistance at all.
After Guangyou's encouragement, he is not as upset as before, but he still feels guilty and regretful.
The culprit who turned him into this is Gin.
As a result, he was unable to participate in the mission to capture Gin.
“You’ll be there when we take action,” Guangyou said, seeing through his thoughts. “But you have to listen to me and not act on your own.”
Upon hearing this, Conan seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline, instantly energized and answering without hesitation:
"no problem!"
"Don't just say it." Guangyou gave him a meaningful look and said.
He was skeptical about whether Conan could obey him.
"Don't worry." Conan seemed quite confident.
After saying this, Guangyou went to take a shower and prepared to go to sleep.
He expects to fight Amuro Tooru tomorrow, so he needs to be mentally prepared.
...
The next day, after having dinner, Kōyū arrived early at the place he had arranged to meet Akai Shuichi, but he didn't expect that Amuro Tooru and the others would arrive even earlier.
It wasn't until today that Kōyū finally met Amuro Tooru.
She had short, light blonde hair that cascaded down her back, naturally tanned skin, and distinctive purplish-gray eyes. She was dressed in casual clothes.
These are the physical characteristics of Tooru Amuro.
When he arrived, Shiyou didn't pretend, nor did he intend to. He met Amuro Tooru directly with his true face.
When Amuro saw Kōyū, even though Akai Shuichi had already told him, he was still surprised by Kōyū's appearance.
On the surface, Amuro Tooru is cheerful, sunny, and a little mischievous, giving people the impression that he is easy to get along with.
This was also the impression that Amuro Tooru left on Kōsuke after they had chatted for a few minutes.
But knowing that Amuro Tooru wasn't as simple as he seemed, Mitsuyuu, upon seeing this appearance, also formed the label of Amuro Tooru in his mind:
He is very shrewd and arrogant...
He has spent too little time with Amuro Tooru, so this is all he can tell so far.
Amuro Tooru wanted to meet with Kousuke for two reasons:
Firstly, I really want to see just how extraordinary the person Shuichi Akai described as extraordinary really is.
Secondly, I wanted to test Guangyou.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Amuro Tooru took the initiative to suggest a fight with Kōyū.
Character and personality can be faked, and even if they are not faked, it takes time to verify them.
While strength can be faked, it's easier to discern certain traits from one's attack methods and style compared to character and personality.
Guangyou had already prepared to take a taxi before coming, so he readily agreed.
Before the fight, Amuro Tooru kindly reminded Kōyū:
"I won't hold back."
"That would be best." Kōyū replied to Amuro Tooru without the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.
The meeting place had a large open space, enough for the two to fight.
The two were not wearing protective gear, and it was as if they were really fighting an enemy. They even included the warm-up steps in the actual fight.
Except in special circumstances, neither side can go all out from the start. They may appear to be evenly matched, but in reality, they are both testing each other.
Besides the two fighting, there was also Shuichi Akai watching the show.
He's been very busy lately, and now he finally has some free time.
He had fought with Guangyou before and knew that the two of them would not be able to determine a winner in a short time, so he picked up his phone and started replying to Mingmei's text messages.
Because it was a test, Guangyou was able to spare some attention.
