"The doctor said it looks like someone went into the next room. Was that you?"
The moment he saw the text message, Guangyou frowned.
When I was teaching Conan how to make chocolate, he turned on the light because the room was dark, and he didn't turn it off until he left.
It probably took about ten minutes.
While making the chocolate, Kōyū didn't pay much attention to the time, and he wasn't sure how long the lights had been on. However, he was certain that Professor Agasa had used this to confirm that someone had entered the Kudo residence.
Coming to his senses, Guangyou focused his attention on the text message.
Judging from the surface meaning of the text message, Ai learned from Professor Agasa that someone had entered the Kudo residence, rather than seeing it with her own eyes, but it cannot be ruled out that she said it on purpose.
He wasn't doing anything shameful, but he still didn't want Ai to know so soon, otherwise the surprise of receiving the gift would be lost.
After considering it for a moment, Guangyou edited the good news and replied: "It's me."
In this situation, Kōyū felt it would be better to admit it directly, but he couldn't reveal his purpose. If Ai asked, he would just come up with a random reason to dispel her doubts.
Ai replied quickly, with a very brief reply: "Mm".
While waiting for a reply, Kousuke had already made up a reason, but Ai didn't even bother to ask him why he wanted to go to the Kudo residence, and simply replied with an "um".
Guangyou guessed that the girl just wanted to check if the person who came in next door posed a threat.
So after Ai confirmed that it was Kousuke who entered the Kudo residence, she didn't ask any further questions.
That simple "hmm" was filled with her trust in him.
"It feels so good to be trusted." Guangyou has lost count of how many times he has sighed this. Perhaps it is because he has experienced a lot of deceit and treachery in the past, but every time he feels that others trust him, a warm current surges in his heart.
At the same time, I also felt that the burden on my shoulders had become heavier.
I can't let these people down.
Kōyū put his change of clothes aside, leaned against the sink, and sent Ai a text message: "Are you free this Saturday?"
A few seconds later, Ai replied, "Where to?"
"Let's go watch the wrestling match at the Dongdu National Sports Hall." Guangyou typed out the text message and sent it. "It's just a bit early. The match starts at seven o'clock, so I might have to get up at six."
After sending that text message, Guangyou quickly sent another one: "Why don't you just not go? The competition is a bit early, you can sleep in."
"I don't have the habit of sleeping in late." After editing the text message, Xiao Ai suddenly remembered that morning at the hospital, and couldn't help but feel her earlobes getting slightly hot. She pursed her lips and sent the text message.
"Alright then." After receiving the text message, Kōyū didn't try to persuade her any further. Ai wasn't a three-year-old; she had her own judgment. He respected her choice and replied, "Remember to get some rest. I'm going to take a shower now."
"Okay, goodnight."
"good evening."
After confirming the arrangements with Ai about watching the game on Saturday, Kōyū took a long, relaxing bath before returning to his bed, closing his eyes, and preparing to sleep.
...
Time flies, and Friday is here soon.
In the past few days, Kōyū and Conan have been going to the Kudo residence to check on the chocolate.
Although Ai knew he had been to the Kudo residence, he and Conan still took a detour to avoid Professor Agasa's door so that Ai wouldn't see them.
If she gets spotted too often, Ai might get curious and follow us to take a look.
The method of entering the Kudo residence was still infiltration.
On the first day, Conan complained about this: "Why do I have to act like a thief when I come to my own house? It's just a gift, it's not like it's anything shameful."
At this point, Kōyū would always ignore him first, and then retort, "Don't worry about such details. Just leave after you've checked the chocolate's condition. Besides, this will also help you hone your stealth skills, so that you won't be discovered when you do something reckless later."
Upon hearing this, Conan was speechless.
Because he was indeed discovered by others during investigations, and not just once or twice.
He was asking for trouble, pshaw... After the investigation was discovered, he was worried that it would implicate the people around him, but luckily, none of them were seriously injured.
He himself had some problems.
If his stealth skills weren't lacking, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.
So, is Guangyou's perfunctory words actually for his own good?
The moment the idea popped into his head, Conan realized something was off. People who practice stealth would do things like avoiding cameras and minimizing the noise they make while moving.
What kind of training is this, infiltrating your own home...?
Was it just a way of fooling myself after all?
Whenever this thought crossed his mind, Kōyū would sneak into the house to check on the chocolate's condition.
Conan had a lot to say, but he had nowhere to say it, so he could only keep it to himself and silently follow along to check on the state of his chocolate.
This situation only lasted for one day, and in the following days Conan got used to the feeling of sneaking into his house.
Whether he complained about Kōyū in private is unknown, but on the surface, Conan followed him to the kitchen without saying a word to check on the chocolate.
The infiltration went quite smoothly. Because of their previous experience, Guangyou didn't turn on the lights when he went to check the situation. Both of them moved quietly when infiltrating and leaving, and only left after confirming that no one was around.
But things didn't go smoothly with the chocolates. On the third day, which is today and the day before the holiday, Kwangyu discovered that white oil spots had appeared on the chocolates.
