Conan kissed me again and again, and Huiyuan was stunned

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Shinichi Kudo's cheek as he inwardly stammered with utter embarrassment and bewilderment:

"Wow, he actually mentioned Shinichi Kudo...!"

"Because~"

Dongfang Mingri, seizing the opportunity, jokingly revealed his true feelings:

"I've been completely captivated by you ever since I saw you in the comics~"

"No...no way..."

Shinichi Kudo was drenched in sweat, and he confirmed in disbelief to himself:

"So Miss Tomorrow has liked me all along?"

No, to be precise...

Shinichi Kudo tried to calm himself down and regain his composure, thinking:

"Did Miss Tomorrow already like Shinichi Kudo, the character created by the manga artist on the planet before Haoyue traveled to?"

"That's right~"

After smilingly admitting it, Dongfang Mingri quickly denied it, saying:

"But don't get me wrong, my liking isn't romantic; it's more about appreciating beautiful things."

During this period.

Princess Mira easily realized that Dongfang Haoyue was hiding something from her, but trusting him, she didn't mind and was about to press him to find out what was going on.

Xiaolan noticed Haoyue and Mira's secret conversation and witnessed Haoyue's flustered actions. She asked in surprise:

"What's wrong, Mira, Haoyue?"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko curiously followed Ran's gaze and looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Princess Mira.

At this moment.

"Yes, it's me who's feeling sorry for Chie-san!"

Dongfang Haoyue, quick-witted, looked at Xiaolan, placed his fists on his thighs, and explained, half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"If Miss Chie's husband really wants to harm her, Miss Chie will be very sad."

So Mira noticed that I was sympathizing with Chie and was secretly concerned about me.

"Right......"

Xiaolan paused, her eyes lowered, and she loosely grasped the dessert bag resting on her lap, lost in thought:

"If we help Miss Chie find out that Mr. Akio is the culprit behind her dizziness and headaches, wouldn't Miss Chie have been living in a false happiness created by Mr. Akio all along...?"

"Then... how heartbroken must Chie be when she learns the truth..."

Thinking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help but imagine Yoshino Chie's tearful face after being betrayed.

Princess Mira stared blankly at Dongfang Haoyue, knowing she was deceiving Xiaolan. However, seeing Xiaolan's pleading look, she tactfully refrained from exposing her lie.

Sonoko Suzuki clearly heard Kogetsu's sympathetic voice and saw Ran's somber, beautiful face. Knowing what Ran was thinking, she hoped she would cheer up and spoke rapidly:

"It's not...it hasn't come to that yet!!"

We haven't found out the truth yet, have we?

Perhaps we're just overthinking things; in fact, Mr. Akio and Ms. Chie have a really good relationship.

“That’s right.”

Ran barely mustered her strength, turned to look at Sonoko Suzuki, and said with hopeful agreement:

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Ms. Chie's dizziness and headache are just a problem with her own body, not something that Mr. Akio did to her."

at the same time.

Some passengers, some sitting and some standing, were scattered in the carriage in front of Xiaolan, looking at her with surprise or confusion.

Ran and Sonoko belatedly realized the passengers' gazes and inevitably panicked for a moment. They quickly covered their red lips with their hands, pretending that they hadn't said anything.

Some passengers looked at Xiaolan and Yuanzi with suspicion, and when they found that they remained silent for a long time, they maintained the distance appropriate for the times and did not delve into their conversation, and all looked away.

Ran and Sonoko Suzuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with distress, and dared not say anything more.

Princess Mira, noticing the passengers' gazes, interlocked her fingers across her legs and muttered to herself with some apprehension:

"It seems we can't press Haoyue for answers now; we'll have to wait until we get off the bus to ask him what he's been hiding."

During this period.

Shinichi Kudo appeared to be glancing at the bright moon in the east the whole time, but in reality, he had his hands folded over his legs and was rationally investigating while suppressing his embarrassment:

"Putting aside my appreciation for beautiful things, what I really want to know is..."

What did Miss Tomorrow mean when she said there was no need to worry?
