"Actually, it's not entirely for you." Kōyū glanced at Conan, who couldn't suppress his smile, then turned to Ai. "Another reason is that I want to help Ai share some of the burden."
Upon hearing this, Conan's heart skipped a beat; this was the start of a public display of affection.
To be honest, he was quite touched a second ago, but that feeling vanished the next second.
All he wants to do now is complain about how unexpectedly this display of affection came.
but...
He ate that dog food!
“Developing an antidote all by yourself, especially since there’s no data on the drug yet, it’s no exaggeration to say you’re starting from scratch.” Kōyū held Ai’s hand, pursing his lips, and said, “Developing an antidote is incredibly difficult. I also have to go to school, so I don’t have much time for research; I mostly use my sleeping time…”
"It's okay." Ai lowered her eyes and gently patted Kyou with her other hand, as if to comfort him. "Actually, I'm not tired at all, don't worry about it."
"Anyway, it's both: I want Conan to regain his identity as Shinichi as soon as possible, and I also want to lighten your burden," Mitsuyu continued. "Once this is over, I'll take you out for a good trip."
I often go out to play, but I don't play all the time. There are times when I stop, like when I was resting in my room a few days ago.
During her breaks, Ai would occasionally think about how to research and develop an antidote.
They said they were playing, but they weren't fully engaged in it.
Kōyū's words reminded Ai of something he once said, which was that he wanted to take her around the world. So much so that she later bought a book about travel.
The world is vast, but she hasn't seen much of it.
Apart from that study abroad experience that she will eventually forget, she has never left Japan.
Previously, Ai had never had such a vague idea as where to travel in the future, nor was she particularly interested in it.
However, things were different then. Suddenly, a figure entered her life, and this figure changed many of her thoughts.
Ai is quite interested in traveling, especially traveling with him.
What exactly is the experience of traveling?
In any case, Ai knew that this experience would be anything but bad; on the contrary, it would become an experience she would remember for a lifetime.
Kōyū had no idea that Ai had thought about so much in such a short time, even about future travels.
There was indeed time for this, and the trip was definitely going to happen, but at that moment, Guangyou didn't think that much about it or that far ahead.
His idea was simple: as he said, once this matter was completely over, he would take Ai out for some fun.
It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you're both happy, that's enough.
Seeing Kōyū's serious expression, Ai smiled slightly, nodded, and simply replied, "Mm."
She knew these days might not end anytime soon, but Guangyou's words gave her more hope for the future.
Artificial intelligence needs to grow, and this growth is not something that can be achieved overnight. Rather, it is like drops of water forming an ocean, requiring time to accumulate and must be done gradually.
"This dog food is really choking."
Standing to the side, Conan looked at the two people in front of him and shook his head with a helpless expression. "You chose this dog food, so you have to force it in."
Despite the complaints, Conan has to admit that Kōyū is incredibly doting on girls, spoiling them rotten.
He didn't know about others, but that was the feeling Guangyou gave him.
"I've said enough about what I needed to say, so I'll be going now." Guangyou snapped out of his reverie, glanced out the window, and realized that it was almost sunset. He then told Ai, "Take care of yourself. Don't stay up too late tonight. If you get stuck in a research dead end, don't push yourself. Get a good night's sleep, and you might just have some inspiration."
This advice was similar to what she had heard before; Ai had heard it dozens of times, but she still hadn't gotten tired of it.
Every time I hear it, a warm feeling always wells up in my heart.
This feeling is really nice.
She nodded, suppressing a smile, and said calmly, "I understand."
Before leaving, Kōyū said to Ai, "If anything happens, remember to message me."
"You're so long-winded," Ai said, feigning impatience. "Let's go, it's getting late. Remember to send a message when you get home, that's all."
"Alright, alright." Kōyū shook his head with a smile, then said goodbye to Ai, "I'm off then."
"Um."
Next, Kouyu and Conan left Professor Agasa's house and headed towards the agency.
The sky outside was already golden, and the sun, with only half of it visible, was still radiating its last bit of light and heat for the day.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky the same color as it, a scene that always seemed somewhat melancholic, especially when combined with the occasional flock of crows flying overhead and the silent environment around them, this feeling was intensified.
However, this is not absolute; the quality of the scenery ultimately depends on the mood of the person viewing it.
At this moment, Kwang-yu was in a pretty good mood and didn't feel any sadness at all.
Conan, who was walking with him, did not feel this sadness, because he had finally seen the hope of turning back into Shinichi Kudo, and the joy in his heart was already showing on his face.
“Oh, right, Conan.” Kouyu suddenly remembered something and turned to Conan, saying, “You can tell your dad about this later, but whatever you do, don’t let him tell anyone else, especially not the FBI.”
