Her wish was very simple.
I just hope that the relationship between the two people is stable.
I didn't think about anything else.
It seems that her wish has been fulfilled.
Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Mingmei's face.
Since childhood, my younger sister has only been my family.
The only one who truly cares about her is her own older sister.
Now there's finally someone who truly likes her and cares about her.
...
While the two sisters were chatting, Guangyou had already bought the ingredients.
But instead of returning directly to the apartment, he went to another place.
On the way there, his face was full of smiles.
If someone were to get close, they could hear him saying:
"I wonder how Ai will react when she sees this."
"hey-hey..."
"I wonder if I'd offer a hug?"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
...
The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a while.
Chatting via text message and email never lasts long; it mostly involves talking about how things are going.
Both Ai and Akemi lead fairly regular lives.
Only Ai and Kousuke often go out together, and sometimes they encounter people who die.
But the two of them couldn't possibly discuss the murder case.
Mingmei rarely leaves the apartment. When she does leave, it's usually to go to the convenience store to buy something or to get some fresh air.
At most, I'll go to the movie theater near my apartment to watch a movie.
But once they met, it seemed like they had endless topics to talk about.
Although there were many topics to discuss, Akemi noticed that Kousuke was involved in almost every one of Ai's conversations.
Ai herself didn't realize it.
After ending another topic, Akemi said:
"Zhibao, have you noticed that two out of the three sentences you said today were related to Guangyou?"
Ai Haibara was indeed unaware of this.
After thinking it over carefully, she said:
"That seems to be the case."
"But my life is very regular now."
"Going to school, developing an antidote, going out with him..."
"Aside from that, I just borrow books from the library."
"If we don't talk about him, there doesn't seem to be anything else to say."
She did want to discuss the antidote with Mingmei; perhaps they could even come up with a solution.
Unfortunately, Mingmei wasn't in this field, so we couldn't have a proper conversation.
In her personal life, it was just as she said.
She currently leads a regular life.
Aside from things related to schooling and drug development, most of it is related to Guangyou.
Even when talking about movies, it's the same; she doesn't usually watch movies, and most of the time she goes with Guangyou.
The only films that truly piqued her interest were the "Glory and Troubles of Einstein" series.
But she could tell that Kwang-yu wasn't interested in the series of films.
This is normal.
She also felt that the film series didn't have a large audience.
That's why, even when discussing such obscure films, the topics she can talk about are all related to Kwang-yu.
If we discuss the plot of the film or the academic knowledge involved, Akemi might not understand much.
But setting aside the plot, all she can discuss is:
"Even though I'm not a fan of movies, I pretended to be very interested and watched both of them with her."
Even when she asked to watch it again, he agreed without hesitation and watched it with her again.
"Not only that, but we can also discuss the plot of the movie with her after watching it."
This explanation made Akemi laugh.
She said:
“Now, Shiho, Kouyu’s presence is everywhere in your life.”
"Yes." Ai nodded frankly, acknowledging the fact. Anyway, Kousuke wasn't in the apartment right now, and only her sister knew.
After finishing her milk tea, Akemi smiled and said:
"You're becoming more and more like a teenage girl."
"It used to be so cold."
"I used to worry that you might not be able to find someone you like, given your personality."
"He exudes an aura of 'Don't come near me'."
Holding the cup of milk tea in both hands, as the steam rose, Ai recalled the past and said:
"In the past, having too much contact with others was harmful to them."
"Perhaps she had just become friends with someone, and the next day her already cold body would appear in some corner of the city."
Who can say for sure?
"Those people have no principles; they only care about their own interests."
"and..."
"Back then, people like us living in darkness, how could we possibly have the right to like others or be liked by others?"
"The rats in the sewers reek of an unbearable stench; who would like such rats?"
“Shiho…” Akemi looked at Ai, a hint of heartache in her eyes.
She was an unofficial member and did not have an official code name.
They are able to attend school, work, and live normally in the outside world.
You can make friends, and go shopping, have afternoon tea, and watch movies with your good friends.
But his younger sister couldn't do that.
He studied abroad from a young age, and after returning to Japan, he stayed in the laboratory, facing cold, emotionless experimental tools all day long.
The only living creatures might be the lab mice used in experiments.
Just as Ai said.
Living in darkness, she had no right to like others or be liked by others.
but...
That was all in the past.
Gently patting Ai's shoulder to comfort her, Akemi smiled and said to Ai:
