For Guangyou, no matter how you call him, he feels it's about the same.
His name was never as easy to pronounce as Ai's current name "Ai Haibara" or her real name "Shiho Miyano".
The character “哀” has only one syllable, and his real name “志保” has only two syllables, while the character “光” has three syllables.
Reading the name alone is fine, but once you add honorifics, it becomes a bit awkward.
Instead of using honorifics, it's better to just call him by his name, like we do now.
This is also because Kōsuke is not as concerned about titles as the Japanese are.
The typical greeting in Japan is a deep bow, without shaking hands, and when addressing someone, you add "san" after their surname, which is "san".
Only family members and very close friends address each other by their first names.
For casual friends, "kun" is added after the surname; for closer friends, "kun" is added after the given name.
Those with closer relationships or family members are addressed by their first names.
But for Guangyou, who is Chinese, he doesn't care about titles as much as the Japanese do.
When strangers meet, they usually just shake hands.
When subordinates face their superiors, they will bow slightly out of respect, but if the two are of equal rank, they will simply shake hands and introduce themselves.
When addressing someone, if they are in business, add "General Manager" after their surname, such as "General Manager Liu" or "General Manager Zheng".
If they are classmates, you will usually call each other by their full name, and in most cases you will not call each other "XXX classmate".
Even if they know each other, the guys who are nicer will usually just pat each other on the shoulder and exchange a glance, and that's considered a greeting.
Then, let's get straight to the point.
Some people who like to joke might pat the other person's buttocks when they're not looking and then make a joke like "it's quite bouncy."
The two might start fighting over this, or they might just exchange a few words of abuse.
Then, if you still want to say something, just get straight to the point; you don't even need to call out names.
Family members address each other similarly to those in Japan, using their given names directly, or sometimes using nicknames.
For example, names like "Xiaoming" and "Xiaohong" that are frequently seen in textbooks.
Because Japanese people value titles, they need the other person's consent before changing or omitting honorifics.
Of course, polite address is appropriate.
It's just that Kōsuke didn't care as much as the Japanese did.
So when Kousuke learned that Ayumi was thinking about what to call him, he casually said, "Ayumi, call me whatever you want."
Seeing Kōyū's expression, Ayumi was no longer worried that Kōyū would feel disgusted by the way he was addressed.
But this was the first time Ayumi had ever called someone by their name like that, especially a boy who was "about the same age" as her.
Upon hearing Guangyou's words, she first took a breath, and the pink blush that had just faded from her face reappeared.
The pink blush that appeared because of shyness made Ayumi's small face even more adorable.
But in Guangyou's eyes, Ayumi's expression was somewhat abnormal, which made him feel a little uneasy.
It's just a simple form of address, so why is Ayumi blushing?
Even Ai noticed that Ayumi was acting strangely.
She didn't know why Ayumi blushed.
If Kōyū and Ayumi grow up a bit more, and a few years later, in other people's eyes, this will definitely look like the girl is confessing her feelings to the boy.
You can express your feelings to someone by using a more intimate nickname.
This tactic is quite good; it allows you to gauge the other person's level of affection for you beforehand.
But Ai didn't think in that direction.
Because she knew it was impossible; Ayumi couldn't possibly have those kinds of feelings for Kousuke, and neither could Kousuke.
Aside from this possibility, Ai couldn't think of any specific reason why Ayumi blushed, only that it was related to "how to address Kousuke".
"Perhaps that kind of address is too intimate?" Ai wondered to herself.
“...”
Conan, who witnessed this scene, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He glanced at Kōyū, who was also somewhat bewildered, and was speechless.
This scene is just too...
Imagine a real little girl blushing as she looks at a guy who has a girlfriend and is very likely already an adult.
this...
Although Conan knew that Ayumi didn't mean it that way, the scene was just too misleading.
...
Next to Ayumi's seat, and in the passenger seat of the Beetle, Mitsuhiko and Genta, who were practically in love with Ayumi, swallowed hard.
They didn't think that much about it; after seeing Ayumi blush, the two of them misunderstood.
The two of them stared intently at Guangyou and Ayumi, listening carefully to what they were saying, afraid of missing any important information.
Dr. Agasa, who was driving, noticed that the atmosphere inside the car had suddenly become somewhat quiet.
When they usually go home, these children would discuss where to go next, but why are they so quiet now?
He was driving and couldn't easily look back, so he could only glance at the rearview mirror inside the car.
And so, Dr. Agasa witnessed this strange scene.
He didn't think in that direction, he just found it a bit strange.
But he didn't dare to ask what had happened, so he shook his head and continued to concentrate on driving.
After a brief pause, Ayumi took a breath, calmed her slightly shy feelings, and then murmured softly with a blush on her face.
