Come to think of it, how could Ai possibly care about such a trivial matter?
Besides, he has no interest in Ayumi.
He only saw Ayumi as a little sister.
That's why he smiled with satisfaction when he saw Ayumi gain Ai's approval.
Besides, Ai knows his feelings very well, and she's not that kind of person.
After calming down, Kōyū noticed Ayumi's somewhat worried gaze.
Even though Ayumi didn't say anything, Mitsuyu still understood what she meant from her eyes:
"Would Guangyou approve of this title?"
That's probably what she was thinking about.
"Okay." Kōyū nodded in response to Ayumi's expectant gaze.
Seeing that she had gained Guangyou's approval, Ayumi's worries vanished instantly, and a smile appeared on her rosy cheeks.
Just like when she received Ai's approval, Ayumi couldn't contain her joy, and a clear, bell-like laugh came from her mouth.
The car was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Only one person breathed a sigh of relief in this atmosphere, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
That person is Mitsuhiko.
He was more mature than other children, something he realized very early on.
He enjoys reading and has gained a lot of knowledge from books.
He knew a little about both the things he used and the things he didn't use often in his daily life.
Perhaps this is why he is more mature than his peers and was able to sense his unusual feelings for the opposite sex at a very young age.
Moreover, he is still far inferior to both Kouyu and Conan.
That's why he felt inexplicably worried after seeing Ayumi blush.
Although he knew it was nothing serious, he was still a little worried because of his lack of self-confidence.
Only now did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Looks like I was overthinking it."
After silently telling himself this, Mitsuhiko looked up at Ayumi's smiling face and felt much more at ease.
Although he went through a complex internal struggle, no one noticed the change in his expression because everyone's attention was not on him.
This situation might make him seem like he has no presence, but that's exactly what Mitsuhiko wants to see.
If someone discovers it and smells it, he won't know how to explain it.
Did he confess because he was worried that Ayumi would confess to Kousuke?
That would also reveal that "he likes Ayumi" while admitting it.
If Ayumi finds out, their relationship will probably be affected.
Someone once told him:
He's still young, so he should cherish this feeling, start by being friends with Ayumi, learn more, and become more attractive.
As for those things, it's best to wait until you're a certain age before considering them.
These words left a deep impression on him, and he still remembers them clearly to this day.
"Keep trying!" Mitsuhiko encouraged himself in his heart.
...
"Ai, this name is just a name, it doesn't mean anything else." Kōyū leaned slightly closer to Ai's ear and whispered an explanation.
Although he knew Ai wouldn't mind, and he understood that Ayumi didn't mean it that way, he still had to explain to Ai.
By the way, can I call Ai Haibara that from now on?
Just imagining Ai calling out "Yu-kun" made Kōyū's lips curl into a smile.
Suppressing the upward curve of his lips, Kōyū whispered in Ai's ear, "Don't overthink it, it's just a name."
"I didn't think much of it." Ai glanced at Kousuke and said calmly, "I know it's because of your name that Ayumi calls me that."
She was taken aback when she first heard that title, but within seconds she understood why.
Because it was awkward to pronounce Kōyū's name with the honorific title, Ayumi omitted the three-syllable "Kōyū".
Even if she didn't know the reason, out of trust in Mitsuyu and considering Ayumi's current situation, she wouldn't think too much about it.
However, if Ayumi and Ai's "real age" are similar and they are both good-looking, she might overthink things.
As far as Ayumi is concerned, Ai doesn't feel threatened by her at all.
"That's good."
Hearing Ai's response and seeing no unusual expression on her face, Kōyū breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease.
Sure enough, things turned out just as he had expected.
Putting aside the matter of Ayumi calling him, Kōyū remained close to Ai and whispered in her ear, "What do you mean by that?"
"Ai, why don't you call me that from now on?"
"What should I call you?" Ai looked at Kōyū with a playful gaze, pretending not to know what was going on.
"..." Kōyū could naturally see that Ai's expression, which seemed to say "say that name," made him hesitate.
But after hesitating for a moment, Guangyou whispered the name.
No, he still really wanted to hear Ai call him "Yu-kun".
After repeating the form of address, Kōyū's expression became somewhat unnatural.
He would feel satisfied if Ai called him that.
But when he had to shout it himself, he only felt ashamed.
Even though it's his own name, he still feels ashamed to call out a term of endearment that a girlfriend would use for her boyfriend.
Because just now, Guangyou imagined a scene:
He was calling out "You-kun" to a boy whose name also contained the character "You".
