"Guangyou, have you finished eating?" Xiaolan came out of the bathroom and saw Guangyou standing in the living room with two buckets of instant noodles on the table next to him.
"After you finish eating, hurry up and wash up, then go to rest early. It's getting late."
It wasn't until he heard Ran's voice that Kōyū came back to his senses.
"Hmm... I'll go after I finish eating."
"Then we'll go back to our rooms first. Guangyou, remember to go to sleep early." Xiaolan sensed that Guangyou was acting a little strange, as if something was on his mind.
But she didn't ask.
Who doesn't have a secret they can't tell others?
"Okay." Guangyou calmed down and nodded.
After saying "goodnight" to each other, Xiaolan and Heye went back to their room to sleep.
Meanwhile, Guangyou continued to finish the instant noodles he hadn't finished eating earlier.
It's been a while, and the noodles have gotten a bit sore, but the taste is still okay.
After finishing his instant noodles, Guangyou tidied up the table, disposed of the leftover noodle soup and empty bowls, and then went to wash up.
After a quick wash, he returned to his room and told Hattori Heiji and Conan to go wash up, while he climbed into bed to go to sleep.
Before going to bed, Guangyou habitually took out his phone and glanced at it.
There is one unread text message.
Earlier in the park, he had put his phone on silent so he wouldn't be disturbed, although...
Not many people know his phone number.
But I still adjusted it.
Upon opening the text message, Guangyou's lips curled into a smile. "Why did this girl text me... Can't we just talk face-to-face?"
The person who sent the text message was Ai, and it was probably when he was eating noodles earlier.
"Don't overthink it, go to sleep early."
There's one more sentence.
"Good night."
The black characters on the screen seemed to gain a little warmth at that moment, and Guangyou smiled as he looked at the text message.
This text message was sent half an hour ago, and Kōyū didn't want to disturb Ai's sleep, so he didn't reply.
After glancing at the text message again, Guangyou turned off the screen and placed his phone next to his pillow.
Not long after he closed his eyes, Guangyou suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes again, got out of bed, and walked to his desk.
When Kwang-woo lay down in bed again, there was a Shiba Inu-shaped doll next to his pillow.
With his eyes closed, Guangyou smiled, as if to himself, or perhaps as if replying to the text message, and whispered a sentence.
"Good night..."
...
The following morning, after having breakfast and resting for a while, the group set off for Mihana Central Hospital.
Mr. Kusunoki, who is stubborn, is currently recuperating there.
In a private hospital room, Nan Chuan lay on the bed. Hearing the door open, he turned his head and glanced at it.
The door was pushed open, and Guangyou and his group entered the ward.
"It's you guys."
After resting in the hospital for a day or two, although Nan Chuan still had bandages on her body, her complexion had improved significantly.
He no longer speaks weakly like he did a few days ago.
"Mr. Kusunoki, how are you recovering?" Hattori Heiji walked to the bedside, and without much formality, simply pulled up a chair and sat down.
Supporting himself halfway up, Nan Chuan propped himself up with his hands, propped the pillow up against his back, and replied, "The recovery is going quite well."
"The doctor said the injury wasn't too serious, but I'll have to stay in the hospital for a week to be observed. If there are no problems, I can go home to recuperate."
"It's good that you're alright." Hattori Heiji nodded.
Kazuha stepped forward, placed the fruit basket she had bought on the way on the bedside table, and said, "Mr. Nanchuan, I wish you a speedy recovery."
"It's good that you came; there was no need to bring anything." Nan Chuan turned to look at the fruit basket, thanked them, and added, "But thank you anyway."
Turning his gaze away, Nanchuan added, "Please give my regards to Minister Toyama when you get back."
"I will talk to my father." Kazuha nodded in agreement.
"Thank you..." Nan Chuan glanced at the people in the ward and suddenly said apologetically, "I'm really sorry about what happened this time."
He had prepared himself before he went to persuade Misari Ito, and he anticipated that he was very likely to fail to persuade her, and might even be in danger as a result.
But he didn't expect that someone would come looking for him.
Ultimately, this is his own business.
It's wrong of him to put others in danger because of him.
"It's alright. If we're talking about apologizing, I think you should just say 'thank you,' Mr. Kusunoki," Hattori Heiji said, waving his hand dismissively.
“If we hadn’t come, you might have been silenced.”
He was trying to ease the current tension from a different angle.
"That's true."
Nankawa, who was able to come up with that code, wasn't stupid. After a moment of surprise, he understood Hattori Heiji's deeper meaning and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you so much this time!"
This thank you came from the bottom of my heart; Nanakawa was truly grateful to Hattori Heiji and the others.
Although he was prepared to die when he was arrested, it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy to have survived.
He only has one life, and he cherishes it very much.
"Mm." Heiji Hattori didn't say anything like "You're welcome," but simply smiled and agreed.
In these kinds of situations, you should do what you should do and there's no need to be overly polite. Doing so would not only make the other person lose face but also seem distant.
Beside the hospital bed, Guangyou inadvertently noticed a newspaper on the bedside table, which contained an article about the horse race that had taken place a couple of days prior.
"He really loves gambling..." Guangyou had no interest in this kind of thing. If it involved gambling, then he could cheat.
If even seemingly fair machines can be manipulated, it's even easier to cheat in a competition that can be controlled by humans.
