The golden afterglow bathed the modern city, and the crisp sound of the school bell suddenly rang, breaking the previous tranquility.
Shortly after the bell rang, the campus, as if draped in a golden veil, was filled with the joyful laughter of students.
"Conan, Kouyu, we're planning to go to the park later, do you want to come?" Ayumi blinked, looking at Kouyu and Conan, and asked.
As for Ai, Ayumi didn't intend to ask her first.
Because she knew very well that if Kōyū went, Ai would definitely agree.
Conversely, if Kōyū doesn't go, then Ai probably won't go either.
The last time Ai agreed to go to the Kuroki family with them was just an isolated incident.
According to observations, Ayumi believes that Ai agreed last time because she had a minor argument with Kousuke at that time.
However, she believes that the two had already made up on their way to the Kuroki family's house.
"Hmm..." Guangyou thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "I'll go play with you guys for a while, but I have to go back after a short time."
Then, Ayumi turned her gaze to Conan.
"I'll go too." Conan thought for a moment. He didn't have anything to do at home, so he might as well wander around outside for a while. So he agreed, "I'll just play for a little while."
"Ai, are you going?" Kōyū turned to look at Ai. In the afterglow of the setting sun, her brown hair shimmered with a faint luster, and the expression on her face seemed to soften a lot because of it.
"How about I take you home first?" Guangyou asked with a slight smile.
"No need, I'll go too," Ai said softly, shaking her head.
“Okay.” After agreeing, Kōyū turned to look at Ayumi, who had a smile on her face, and said, “Let’s go together and play in the park for a while.”
"Yay!" Ayumi laughed happily.
After reaching an agreement, Kōyū and his group left Teitan Elementary School and headed towards the park.
...
Teitan Elementary School is not far from the park. After walking along the road for about ten minutes, the group arrived at their destination.
After entering the park and putting down their schoolbags on a bench, Ayumi and her two friends began discussing what to do.
"How about we play hide-and-seek?" Ayumi suggested.
“Great!” Ayumi’s suggestion was agreed upon by Genta and Mitsuhiko.
After the three finished their discussion, Ayumi turned to Kousuke and the others standing to the side and asked for their opinion: "Kousuke, Conan, do you want to play hide-and-seek?"
“Sure.” Guangyou nodded without even considering it and agreed.
“I’m fine too,” Conan chimed in.
They didn't care what they did; they only agreed to come over to wander around outside and kill some time.
After all, staying at home all the time isn't good either.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide who will be the detective!" Ayumi said to the group with a smile.
Perhaps because of the Junior Detective Club, in Ayumi and her friends' game of hide-and-seek, the person who is chasing others is called the detective, while the person hiding is naturally the criminal.
"Okay!" Genta and Mitsuhiko naturally didn't care.
Relatively speaking, it would be fairer to decide who is the detective by playing rock-paper-scissors.
"No need for rock-paper-scissors, I'll be 'it,' and you guys can hide." Kōyū suddenly remembered that he still needed to call Heiji to invite him over for Saturday.
So he volunteered to be the detective.
"Alright then." After thinking for a moment, the three agreed to let Guangyou be the detective.
Before the game started, Ayumi earnestly instructed, "Kuyou, you have to count to one hundred before you come to catch us, and you absolutely cannot peek!"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't peek." Guangyou disdained doing something as dishonest as cheating, especially when it was just playing hide-and-seek with a child.
If he cheats again, does he have no shame?
Although a face isn't really that useful anyway...
You still need to wash your face if you want to save face.
But he still couldn't possibly do something like cheating.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and hide. Remember to hide well, or it won't be good if I catch you too early." Guangyou took out his phone from his pocket, looked down at it, and said, "I'm starting to count now."
Upon hearing this, the three children seemed to have made a pact, and instantly scattered, searching for hiding places in the park.
Conan, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed, looking around as he slowly walked forward, and even teased, "Kuangyou, you absolutely can't peek!"
"This guy..." Kōyū looked up at Conan's back and pursed his lips.
Then he turned to Ai standing beside him and said with a smile, "Ai, why don't you go find a place to hide too? Let's see if I find them first, or if I find you first."
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling a strand of hair near Ai's ear.
Seeing the strand of hair sticking to Ai's face, Kōyū naturally reached out and tucked the slightly mischievous strand behind her ear.
Therefore, Kwang-yu clearly saw the slight smile on her lips.
"Then you can't peek, okay?" Ai teased.
Although he knew Ai was joking, Kousuke still found himself both amused and exasperated after hearing her words.
Do I have a face that looks like I'm cheating?
"Alright, stop joking." Guangyou felt a little tired, sighed, and repeated, "Don't worry, I definitely won't peek."
"That's good." Ai said with a smile on her face.
Sitting on a park bench, Kōyū said to Ai, "Remember to hide well, or you might be the first person I find."
"Don't end up looking for ages and not finding a single person. That would be so embarrassing," Ai said defiantly, pulling her gaze away from Kousuke.
