People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Oh, I see. It seems this crybaby doesn't realize how outstanding she is."

A gentle voice reached Akemi's ears without her noticing, and before she could react, a pair of strong arms hugged her tightly from behind.

Miss Crybaby?

This title actually seems quite suitable for my older sister.

Ai Haibara glanced sideways at Akemi Miyano, who was looking completely bewildered, and couldn't help but think to herself.

However, unlike others, Ai Haibara noticed the hint of bewilderment that flashed across Yu Asakawa's face, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

So it seems this guy isn't as experienced as I thought.

That makes sense, though. Aside from herself and her sister, she really couldn't think of any other woman who could get along with him so naturally. Saying she had no experience was actually true.

"Boss, you...you heard everything?"

After an unknown amount of time, Miyano Akemi, whose mind had completely shut down, finally came to her senses and stiffly turned around in Asakawa Yu's arms, not even daring to meet Asakawa Yu's gaze.

"Yes, I heard every single word."

Asakawa Yu reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her movements very tender.

"Hu~~"

Asakawa Yu slowly exhaled, feeling a rare emotion he had never experienced in his two lifetimes—a feeling called 'heartache'.

In his past life, he was destitute and had no one to rely on, not even a friend, let alone a girlfriend.

Even if I had such feelings, I have long forgotten them.

Now, he truly felt it, and this was all thanks to the girl in front of him, the one he called his lover.

"...Did I disappoint you again? I already told you last time, but... but I just couldn't help being afraid. Afraid that you'd have a bad impression of me, afraid that you'd leave me, afraid... that's why I thought of deceiving you..."

Akemi buried her face in Asakawa Yu's arms, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, as if afraid that Asakawa Yu might leave her at any moment.

This was the first time Asakawa Yu had felt a sense of disgust towards Akai Shuichi.

If it weren't for him, Akemi Miyano wouldn't be where she is now.

He probably understood that it was because in their past interactions, Mingmei had always been the one giving and had acted too humbly, which led to her developing a people-pleasing personality.

This made her more insecure and self-conscious after she had everything she had, and she became more prone to overthinking.

In layman's terms, Akemi may have developed some fear of being in a relationship.

He felt that he appeared too mysterious in her eyes, that he had too many secrets he couldn't tell her, and that her lack of self-confidence led to the current situation.

A storm raged through his mind. Asakawa Yu looked at Miyano Akemi in his arms and was at a loss for what to do. He felt helpless.

Ultimately, this is his first time in a relationship, and the fact that he can still hold Miyano Akemi is already quite impressive; we really can't expect him to do any better.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response from Asakawa Yu, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but break free from Asakawa Yu's embrace, carefully raising her head, but still holding onto the hem of his clothes with both hands.

"I'm not disappointed, but I think you're really incredibly stupid." Asakawa Yu placed her hand on Miyano Akemi's face and said irritably.

"Huh?" Akemi asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you say you would always believe in me?" Asakawa Yu didn't answer Akemi's question, but instead said seriously.

"Yes, yes, I've always believed in you, boss, but I don't know what I..."

"Then I'll do the same. As long as you trust me, I'll give you 100% trust in return. So, you don't need to do this anymore. Trust me, okay?"

Asakawa Yu gently stroked her back while tenderly interrupting her.

"Hmm~"

Akemi felt ticklish from Asakawa Yu's caresses and couldn't help but let out a soft moan, but she didn't argue anymore and just stayed quietly in Asakawa Yu's arms.

"Honestly, you're completely unlike your usual self right now."

Seeing this, Asakawa Yu could only shake his head helplessly, but he didn't disturb her little actions. Instead, he let her continue like this.

"that……"

It was at this moment that Ai Haibara, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but speak up.

Asakawa Yu looked up at her in confusion, wanting to see what was wrong.

"Hehe, although I really don't want to bother you two right now, I have to say that if we don't leave soon, we might be on tomorrow's headlines."

Ai Haibara glanced at the growing crowd around her and gestured as she spoke.

As soon as Ai Haibara finished speaking, Yu Asakawa quickly turned around.

The customers who had just been shopping had all turned their attention to them, looking at them with curiosity, astonishment, and excitement. Many of them had even taken out their phones to take pictures.

Then they realized that they were still in the supermarket!

"ah!"

Akemi, of course, heard what Ai Haibara said. She glanced at the customers around her who were watching the drama unfold, and her whole body turned bright red. You could even see steam rising from her body.

She then buried her head in Asakawa Yu's arms, trying to hide herself.

"I think we should go out for a bit now."

Asakawa Yu gently patted Miyano Akemi's back and whispered softly in her ear.

"Hmm..." Akemi nestled in Asakawa Yu's arms, feeling quite embarrassed.

Then, ignoring the surprised looks of others, the three hurriedly fled the scene, leaving behind a crowd of onlookers who hadn't had enough of the gossip.

As soon as she stepped out of the supermarket, the cold night wind hit her face, causing Asakawa Yu to exhale a breath of cold air.

"Okay, stop looking so embarrassed, we're already out."

Asakawa Yu looked at Miyano Akemi, who was still looking down, and a sense of helplessness flashed through his mind.

“…I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made you angry…” Akemi’s head seemed to lower even further.

"I already said I'm not angry, or rather, if you keep going like this, then I'm really going to get angry!"

Seeing Miyano Akemi's expression, Asakawa Yu finally couldn't help but pretend to be about to get angry.

"Huh?!" Akemi exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

Asakawa Yu didn't say anything more, but instead pulled her step by step toward the car, while Haibara Ai followed slowly behind.

After walking for a while, the three of them stopped in front of Asakawa Yu's car.

"Phew~~ Didn't you say you didn't know why I like you..."
