After discussing the "hiring" of Guangyou, the private chef, the two watched a variety show in the living room for a while.
After the show ended, Ai told Kōyū to go wash up first, citing that it was getting late.
She went to the room to make up the bedding for Guangyou, and then read a book for a while.
Guangyou used to spend the night here.
For his convenience, Ai specially bought him toiletries such as a toothbrush and towel, which she placed in the bathroom.
It was only when he used these toiletries that he realized that they were usually cleaned by someone.
A figure appeared in his mind.
The saying that details are often the most touching is absolutely true.
At this moment, Kwang-woo was lying in the bathtub, his body submerged in the hot water.
After noticing this small detail, Guangyou could clearly feel a warmth welling up from within, not only physically.
...
After taking a shower, Kōyū changed into the pajamas that Ai had prepared for him, and put on the slippers that she had also prepared, before going to Ai's room.
The bedding had already been laid out, and Ai was sitting at the table reading a book.
Hearing the door open, she closed the book, then got up and walked to the wardrobe, taking out a set of pajamas.
After saying, "You can read a book or play on the computer for a while," Ai left the room with her clothes.
Guangyou didn't want to read, so he sat down in front of the computer, propped his chin up with one hand, and clicked the mouse around.
I'd like to see if there are any fun games.
"What are we playing...?"
Let's play Minesweeper.
He's never really been good at Minesweeper.
I only know a few basic rules.
For example, a number might represent the number of mines nearby...
There aren't many single-player games on his computer that interest him right now, and downloading them would take quite a while.
Minesweeper, a built-in game, is perfect for this.
With the help of luck, I quickly passed the beginner level without failing.
Guangyou failed three or four times in the intermediate level, but eventually passed it by luck.
Even with luck, Guangyou still couldn't clear the game at the higher levels.
Just as he had failed more than ten times and was about to play Spider Solitaire, Ai, who had changed into her pajamas, pushed open the door and walked into the room.
"Minesweeper?" Ai's gaze swept across the computer screen, where the word "failed" was very conspicuous. She glanced at Kōyū.
Then she asked:
"Don't you know how to play Minesweeper?"
It's not shameful to not know how to play Minesweeper, especially when facing Ai Haibara. There's no need to maintain a perfect persona where you know everything.
It's human nature to have flaws.
Therefore, Guangyou did not hide anything and nodded in admission, saying, "Yes, I haven't played much. I relied entirely on luck to pass the game."
"Looks like there are games you can't play either," Ai said, sitting down next to Kouyu. "I thought you were good at all kinds of games."
One of the impressions Guangyou left on her in the past was that he was a "gaming expert".
He can quickly master any game he gets his hands on and reach a certain level of skill.
"I don't have time to study it, I only know the basic rules." Kōyū stepped aside to make room for her and said, "Ai, why don't you give it a try?"
"Okay, I haven't played in a long time either." Ai didn't refuse. She pulled her chair forward a little, controlled the mouse, and pressed the start button.
The two were close together, and since Ai had just finished washing up, Kōyū could clearly smell a stronger fragrance emanating from her than before.
Even though most of the fragrance comes from shampoo and shower gel, it still leaves a lingering scent.
But in Kōyū's eyes, when it comes to Ai, it's special.
Just then, Ai's voice rang out, bringing Kousuke back to his senses.
"alright."
"All done?" Guangyou looked at the computer screen and saw the words "Level Completed" and the completion time displayed on the screen.
—38.57 seconds.
"So fast?" This was the first time Guangyou had ever seen someone clear the advanced Minesweeper game.
—Actually, this was the first time he had ever seen someone else play Minesweeper.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Ai cleared the game.
"Once you master the technique, it will be very simple." Xiao Ai pressed the button for the new game again and skillfully clicked the squares with the left and right mouse buttons.
She explained things to Guangyou while playing:
"Like this..."
"Using numbers to determine the number and location of surrounding mines..."
"And then all that's left is dots and dots."
She used to occasionally play a game or two while waiting for the experimental results to pass the time.
Soon, the words "Level Completed" reappeared on the computer screen.
This time it was a little faster than last time:
38.13 seconds.
Upon seeing the completion time, Guangyou, a complete novice who knew absolutely no tricks and could only rely on luck to complete levels other than the beginner level, unabashedly exclaimed in admiration:
"That's amazing! You beat the game in just over thirty seconds."
"If it were me, it would probably take more than thirty seconds."
"Hmm...it might be faster."
"The difference is your completion time, mine is failure time."
"It's nothing special, there are plenty of people who can clear a high-level Minesweeper in even less time." Ai didn't feel there was any sense of accomplishment in clearing a high-level Minesweeper.
However, the praise from Kōyū brought a smile to Ai's face.
"Do you want me to teach you?" Ai asked, releasing the mouse.
"Okay." Guangyou nodded in agreement, gripped the mouse, pressed the button, and started a new Minesweeper game on a higher difficulty.
Then Ai began her Minesweeper tutorial:
"Just pick anything at first, the first time won't be a disaster..."
