The golden rays of the setting sun bathed the seemingly bustling modern city, urging on the people crammed onto the train and the students.
For office workers at this moment, it means the end of a hard day's work, and they can go home and have a drink.
For students at this moment, it signifies the end of a day of studying, and it's time to think about where to go and have fun with friends.
For Kōyū at this moment, it means that it's time for him and Ai to part ways.
Standing in front of Professor Agasa's house, Kouyu felt a pang of reluctance, and Ai didn't rush into the house either.
The two leaned against the recently repaired wall next to the doctor's house, heads bowed, silently enjoying their last moments together today.
"Thanks to you today, this is my first time celebrating Girls' Day, and I will remember everything that happened today."
Ai lowered her head, squinted slightly, and stretched out one foot, drawing circles on the ground with a very small motion.
Guangyou scratched his head, glanced at her, then turned back and said, "Then you're doomed. You'll probably have to remember so many holidays from now on... no, every single day."
Ai looked up, turned to look at Kousuke, and said, "Girls' Day will only last until you turn 18, after that you won't be able to celebrate it anymore."
Like Guangyou, she is also planning for the future. There are still ten years before the day when the plan is implemented, which is enough time for her to plan carefully.
Kōyū clearly didn't understand Ai's meaning. Although he didn't understand Ai's meaning, he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, after all, you can't celebrate Girls' Day forever."
"Um."
Ai thought that Kousuke understood her underlying meaning, blushed slightly, and said, "You can only live until you're 18."
Guangyou nodded and said, "Ah, I know, you'll be an adult by then."
Slightly shy, Ai continued drawing circles with her feet and whispered, "Then we can do something big that little kids can't do."
"Hmm? Something children shouldn't do?"
Upon hearing this, Guangyou froze on the spot, blinked, and thought to himself, "Why does this sound like something I'm saying? Or am I just being too dirty-minded?"
"Then I'll be able to wear that white..."
Xiao Ai stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence. There was a noun at the end of that sentence, and that noun was exactly the two words she couldn't say right now.
"White...adult..."
Those strange thoughts vanished instantly, leaving only these two seemingly ordinary words in his mind.
Although his emotional intelligence is not high, those two words probably only evoke certain things in his mind.
"Ah, that day is indeed very important."
Out of consideration for Ai's feelings, Kōyū didn't directly break the ice, but softly repeated, "That day is very important."
That's how it is.
Ai stood up straight, looked at Kyou, and smiled, "Then I'll go in first. You can just wait for me at the park entrance tomorrow."
Guangyou stopped leaning against the wall, turned around and nodded to her, saying, "Okay, you should rest early today, otherwise you won't have the energy to go out and play tomorrow."
"knew."
Ai pushed open the iron gate, paused for a second just before stepping into the courtyard, glanced at Kōyū out of the corner of her eye, and then stepped inside.
After hearing the iron gate close, Kōyū started walking towards the office.
On his way back, Guangyou recalled the girl's smiling face from earlier. He also remembered the words that had flashed through his mind at the last moment of his dream: "A dream of Nanke must eventually end; one cannot dream of the past life nor of the present."
Don't dwell on the past in your dreams, nor indulge in baseless and unrealistic fantasies about the present. Dreams are just dreams, and there will always be a day when you wake up and face reality.
That's what it means. Because of that girl's smile, Guangyou also wanted to truly wake up from the dream and completely wake up from it.
"I changed you, that's a fact."
Guangyou's steps gradually became lighter, humming the tune of that song, and he said softly, "But haven't you also changed me?"
"Ring ring~"
As soon as Guangyou heard the ringtone, he stopped in his tracks, took out his phone from his pocket, and skillfully opened the text message interface. A line of text immediately appeared before his eyes.
"Thank you for today, Mr. Sakura ＼（￣︶￣）／"
Looking at the text message, Kōyū's face was full of smiles. The last emoticon was not something he imagined; it was indeed part of Ai's text message.
Just this short line of text and a simple emoticon brought Guangyou's mood to its peak today.
"Mr. Cherry Blossom?"
Kwang-yu chuckled softly, put his phone back in his pocket, crossed his arms behind his head, and strode toward the agency, muttering to himself, "I like this title."
...
The agency remains the same as always: some are chasing celebrities, while others are reading mystery novels.
"Oh, you've finally decided to come back?"
Conan looked at Kōyū sitting next to him and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, "He's clearly an elementary school student, but he's busier than many adults."
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Uncle Mori, who was watching TV.
...
"Miss Yoko! Best!"
At this moment, Uncle Mori is wearing a headband with Yoko's name on it and is shouting at the TV.
His dedication made Kōyū and Conan think that Yoko, who was at the Osaka concert, could hear his shouts.
