Ai pushed the door open.
Seeing Kōyū on the phone, Ai stopped and pointed to the door, as if to say, "Should I leave?"
Ai shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to avoid him and could come in. Just as Kōyū was about to speak, he heard Hattori Heiji's voice.
"Uncle, in which chome is your detective agency located?"
Seemingly because Uncle Mori didn't respond, Heiji Hattori became a little anxious, and his tone rose slightly, "Which chome is it in?!"
"5-chome..." Uncle Mori seemed to be thinking, his voice not very loud, but Hattori Heiji on the other end of the phone definitely heard him.
“Then let’s hurry back and check,” Hattori Heiji said again. “Officer Yumina, could you please take us back?”
Through the phone, Kwang-yu could vaguely hear a man say, "Okay."
Then Uncle Mori's voice rang out again: "Kuangyou, tell Ran and the others to stay at home and not to wander off. We're going back right away."
"If you see any suspicious people near the office, call the police immediately and then notify me. Remember, don't wander off!"
"Okay, I'll tell Ran-neechan." As soon as Kōyū finished speaking, Uncle Mōri hung up the phone.
He understood why Uncle Mori and the others were so emotional.
They were probably worried that the arsonist's next target would be the Mori Detective Agency in Beika-cho 5-chome.
As for that Guan Yu keychain, Uncle Mori probably thought it was like a pre-announcement from Kaito Kid.
It serves as a notification and to indicate one's identity.
In other words, this keychain is basically saying, "I started this fire, you bunch of idiots, come and get me! Hehehe~"
Of course, this is just something Kōyū imagined.
Coming to his senses, Kwang-yu leaned against the headboard, placed his phone next to his pillow, and tilted his head to look at Ai sitting on the edge of the bed.
At that moment, Ai was looking down at a novel.
"Ai, is something the matter?" Kōsuke asked.
"What, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Ai lowered her head, her brown hair obscuring a slight smile from her lips.
After a pause, she said jokingly, "Men, as time goes by, their attitude is not the same as when we first met."
"How could that be!" Kōyū sensed the teasing in Ai's words and didn't take it seriously, but still offered an explanation.
"I was just thinking, it's already this late, why aren't you resting yet? We have to go to the theme park tomorrow."
Flipping through the novel in her hand, Ai said calmly, "I'm afraid we can't go to the theme park. The case hasn't been solved yet."
"If it's not resolved, it's not resolved," Guangyou said nonchalantly. "If it really doesn't work, I'll just take you there tomorrow."
"Let's wait until everyone goes together," Ai said softly.
She knew what Guangyou was thinking, which is why she said that.
She didn't care whether she went to the theme park or not; staying home with Guangyou, playing cards, and reading novels was just fine.
"Okay." Kōyū didn't say much more, and after ending the topic, he said, "Ai, watch for a little longer and then go to sleep. It's already past eleven o'clock."
"Hmm." Ai responded, then looked up at Kousuke and asked, "Do you remember what you said this morning?"
"That sentence?" Kōyū was taken aback. He had said quite a few things today, but he didn't know which sentence Ai had said.
"It's what you said to me this morning when I wanted to sleep a little longer," Ai said, giving Kousuke a hint.
“When you want to sleep for a while…” Kwang-woo slightly raised his chin, looking at the ceiling for a second in remembrance.
He then said, "Is it that line, 'My shoulder will always belong to you'?"
"Then, can I use my own things?" Ai asked Kousuke calmly.
"sure..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ai moved to Guangyou's side, rested her head on his shoulder, and opened the novel in her hand to read.
"You said it yourself," Ai said softly, looking at the novel.
"Yes, I said it." Kōyū smiled after realizing what he meant, and leaned slightly to rest his head on Ai's head.
Closing his eyes, and inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from Ai's hair, Kōyū's heart gradually calmed down.
Neither of them spoke, and for a moment the only sounds in the room were their breathing and the turning of pages.
About ten minutes later, a knocking sound suddenly broke the silence in the room.
Upon hearing the knock, Guangyou straightened up and said, "Is that you, Xiaolan? Why don't you come in and talk? The door isn't locked."
After Guangyou finished speaking, Xiaolan opened the door, and she and Kazuha walked in from outside.
"Guangyou, what did they say?" Xiaolan came in and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Guangyou and asking, "When will they be back?"
"They were supposed to be back soon, but something happened and my uncle and the others will be back soon."
Then, Kōyū repeated what Uncle Mori had just told him.
He didn't mention Guan Yu's keychain or the arsonist, so as not to affect Xiaolan and Heye's mood.
Let's talk about the rest after Uncle Mori comes back.
After asking about the general situation, Xiaolan stood up from the edge of the bed and said to the two of them, "Okay, then I won't disturb you while you're reading. You should also go to sleep as soon as possible and not stay up too late."
"Mmm," Ai and Mitsuyu both responded.
After receiving a response, Ran pulled Kazuha away from Kouyu's room.
