As the morning light pierced through the mist, the newborn sun slowly rose from the east.

As the sunlight shone on the earth, Tokyo, which had been sleeping, seemed to come alive completely.

After finishing breakfast, everyone set off in their cars.

As usual, Conan and Ai Haibara sat in Asakawa Hayao's car, while the three little ones sat in Professor Agasa's car.

As they were getting ready to board the bus, Genta and the others complained that they had never ridden in Asakawa Yu's bus before, saying that they wanted to ride in it together next time.

Soon, after a period of driving, the group finally arrived at the camp.

"Alright! Next, we need to set up the tent!"

"Oh!"

At Professor Agasa's call, Ayumi and the others responded enthusiastically.

"Then Ai, you guys go and help set up the stove."

After explaining some tasks that Ai Haibara and the others could do, Asakawa Yu followed the professor to set up the tent.

"I'll have to trouble you with the rest, Ayu."

"No problem. Speaking of which, Professor Agasa, you really spoil these kids."

While chatting, Asakawa Yu and Professor Agasa worked together to secure the four legs of the tent.

"Haha, I can't help it, I really find it hard to refuse the kids' requests."

Professor Agasa scratched his head, looking quite helpless.

But Asakawa Yu knew that Professor Agasa really liked these kids, which was why he kept taking them camping.

"By the way, Yu, you're dating Miss Tang Ze now, right?"

"...Yes, it must have been those kids who told you, right?"

Asakawa Yu knew without a doubt that the three little ones must have told Professor Agasa in the car, but she still had to ask about it on the surface.

"Yes, by the way, I should first wish you all the best."

"Thank you."

Asakawa Yu wasn't pretentious; he certainly wouldn't let others' kindness go to waste.

"To be honest, I always felt that you two had a lot of chemistry as a couple. But now, Ai has someone to rely on again."

As Professor Agasa spoke, he unconsciously turned his gaze to Ai Haibara, who was making a fire with Akemi on the other side.

His gaze was pure and unadulterated, filled only with love and pride for the child, like that of a grandfather looking at his granddaughter.

No, it should be said that he had long regarded Ai Haibara as his granddaughter.

At first, he was very worried about Ai Haibara's emotions, fearing that this little girl who had escaped from the organization might one day do something drastic.

But later, Ai Haibara found her sister and had a family. She began to become more cheerful and warmer to others, no longer keeping her heart frozen like before.

And the person who accomplished all of this is the one standing right in front of him.

To be honest, Professor Agasa doesn't know anything about Asakawa Yu.

His past, his thoughts, and so on...

But one thing he was sure of was that he was a good person!

Despite Conan telling him that there were still many suspicious points about Asakawa Hayao, Professor Agasa still chose to trust his own judgment.

Now, Asakawa Yu has become Haibara's older sister's boyfriend, which is Haibara Ai's brother-in-law.

I believe that no matter what danger Ai Haibara encounters in the future, Asakawa Yu will definitely lend a helping hand.

Dr. Agasa firmly believed this...

"Alright, Professor, the tent should be fine now. Shall we go over there and help... Professor Agasa?"

After securing the last corner of the tent, Asakawa Yu looked up and spoke to Professor Agasa, but Professor Agasa seemed not to have heard him.

So Asakawa Yu had no choice but to walk up to him and wave her arm at him.

"Doctor? Doctor?"

After a brief moment of distraction, Professor Agasa finally came to his senses. "Hmm... huh? Oh! It's Yu. Are you all done on your end?"

"Um, by the way, Doctor, you were just now..."

"Oh, actually I just spaced out for a moment, haha. Okay, now that this is all set, let's go take a look over there."

After Professor Agasa laughed it off and let the matter drop, he led Asakawa Hayao toward Ai Haibara and the others.

Asakawa Yu didn't think too much about this little incident, assuming it was just Professor Agasa daydreaming.

How are your preparations going?

Arriving at Mingmei and the others' side, seeing them preparing firewood, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost ready. The only thing left is the ingredients."

Finally, after much effort, everyone completed their preparations.

The ingredients were then started to be cooked one by one.

…………

"I'm stuffed!"

After Mitsuhiko finished eating, he casually placed his bowl and chopsticks on the table, but the sharp-eyed Genta pointed out, "Hey! You didn't finish your food."

"Ok?"

Seeing Mitsuhiko's puzzled expression, Genta explained, "My mother said that if you leave even a single grain of rice behind, you will be punished by God."

Dr. Agasa chimed in, "That's right. Rice is made by farmers through eighty-eight painstaking processes."

"Eighty-eight?"

"Yes, if you break down the character '米' (mǐ), it becomes '八十八' (bāshíbā).

"Doctor, we're going out for a walk now. We'll leave these children in your care for a while."

Knowing that the professor was about to start telling his lame jokes, Asakawa Yu decided to take Akemi away first and see the surrounding scenery.

Because she didn't expect Asakawa Yu to make such a sudden decision, Akemi felt a little flustered for a moment, but then she quickly agreed, "Then Ai, you guys continue eating first, we'll be right back."

With a wave of her hand, and amidst her younger sister's helpless expression, Miyano Akemi was led away by Asakawa Yu.

The two walked side by side on the forest path, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

As they walked, Akemi suddenly took Asakawa Yu's hand. Although she was surprised for a moment, she quickly relaxed.

Since what happened last time, Mingmei has gradually become bolder, and she no longer feels shy about small things like holding hands.

"By the way, boss, those kids said they want to go see those twin skyscrapers tomorrow. How about we go together?"

Akemi was the first to break the tranquil atmosphere.

"No problem, since you want to go, let's go and take a look on the way."

"Hmm... Boss, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"...It seems that nothing can really be hidden from you."

Asakawa Yu was quite helpless. Did Akemi think he was so easy to understand now?

"Hmph! Need I say more? I'm your girlfriend."

Miyano Akemi raised her head with a hint of pride, as if she really wanted to prove herself to Asakawa Yu.

"Um... okay, actually I want you..."
