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

Just as the two sisters said, when the time is right, Asakawa Yu will explain everything to them. For now, all they need to do is maintain the status quo.

"So... boss, do you need to go on a long trip recently?"

Mingmei didn't care about anything else; she only gleaned some important information from the phone call. What concerned her most was that Asakawa Yu might need to meet with someone, and that person seemed to be of a high status.

"Yes, I might need to go to the United States, so I may not be in Japan for a while."

As expected, Akemi's guess was correct. Although she had a premonition, she still couldn't help but feel sad when Asakawa Yu was really going to leave her for a while.

This scene made Ai Haibara's lips twitch slightly. "No, it's not like you'll never see each other again, is this really necessary?"

This earned Akemi a glare in response, "Hmph! Ai, the fact that you would say something like that means you don't have a boyfriend and can't understand how I feel."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's my question."

Ai Haibara gave a perfunctory reply, knowing that arguing with her sister about this was the most unwise choice.

However, I don't plan to find a boyfriend.

Watching Asakawa Yu comfort Akemi at the dinner table, this heartwarming scene made her smile involuntarily.

I'm so grateful to have you all...

Ai Haibara silently repeated this to herself before joining the effort to comfort her older sister once again.

--------------------------------

"Well then, I'll be going now. Please take care of things at the shop while I'm gone."

At the airport, Asakawa Yu, carrying her suitcase, said goodbye to Akemi and the others.

"I know, I know. You've said it so many times, I'm sick of hearing it."

Ai Haibara still had that sharp-tongued look on her face, her expression full of impatience, as if to say: 'You're such a busybody.'

Akemi held onto Asakawa Yu's arm, constantly murmuring words of concern.

"Take good care of yourself over there. If anything happens, remember to prioritize your own safety, and also..."

Seeing that Akemi was about to continue speaking, Asakawa Yu quickly stopped her:

"Okay, okay, I got it. I feel like you're treating me like a child."

Hearing this, Mingmei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't it because you, boss, don't care about yourself at all?"

"However, the most important thing is that you must come back safely. Ai and I will always be waiting for you at home, so... have a safe journey."

Akemi looked at Asakawa Yu with gentle eyes, her deep blue eyes filled with unspoken concern.

Asakawa Yu didn't say anything more, but gave Akemi a hug.

Then, pulling his suitcase, he walked towards Tsugami Shoichi, who was standing some distance away.

"Won't you say a few more words, boss?" Tsugami Shoichi asked.

As for who would accompany Asakawa Yu this time, Asakawa Yu decided to have Tsugami Shoichi go with her.

The organization's personnel selection is almost complete, and Tsugami Shoichi's work has temporarily come to a standstill. Kido Shinji still has newspaper work to handle, so Tsugami Shoichi is the only candidate.

Tsugami Shoichi hadn't clearly heard Asakawa Yu and the others talking in the distance, but just from Asakawa Yu's embrace, he had already keenly understood one thing.

So, that lady from earlier must be my boss?

She seems like a very gentle and easy-going person...

"No, let's hurry up and get things done so we can come back sooner."

Asakawa Yu ignored what Tsugami Shoichi was thinking; even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Now he just wants to get things done quickly and return to Japan.

"I understand."

Since this is the boss's order, I just need to obey it.

Accompanied by Shoichi Tsugami, the two quickly boarded a plane bound for the United States.

On the other side, watching the plane gradually leave and then disappear from sight, Akemi finally came to her senses.

"Alright, sister, stop looking. They're already gone."

Ai Haibara tugged at Akemi's sleeve, pulling her out of her 'waiting-for-her-husband' state.

After calming herself down, Akemi returned to her usual self.

"Yes, the boss has already left. Okay, Ai, we can't let him down. We must arrange everything in the store properly before he comes back!"

After saying that, Akemi took Ai Haibara's hand and walked towards the airport exit...

………………

Time flew by, and the plane carrying Asakawa Yu and the other person gradually arrived at their destination.

"Boss, let's head to the hotel to drop off our luggage now. As for the meeting with Chairman Sindora, we've already arranged it for 9 a.m. tomorrow. We can then take a car directly there..."

Tsugami Shoichi reported on their itinerary for the trip, while Asakawa Yu listened quietly. After Tsugami Shoichi finished reporting, Asakawa Yu replied, "Understood."

When the two arrived at the hotel, it was already evening.

Because of the time difference between Japan and the United States, and because Asakawa Yu and his group set off at eight in the morning, they arrived here late at night.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Asakawa Yu put down her luggage and, alone in her room, began to think about her meeting with Shimosindora the next day.

For someone like Sindora to suddenly agree to meet with me, there must be some deeper meaning behind it that I don't know.

Even Asakawa Yu had no idea what this old fox was really thinking.

Asakawa Yu dislikes dealing with people who dominate the business world, and even when facing the winery, he never felt this much pressure.

Don't be fooled by Sindora's seemingly weak performance in the movie, where her schemes are easily seen through by Yusaku Kudo, and think she's easy to manipulate.

As he just said, the fact that he was able to build such a large business empire proves that he is no ordinary person.

The only blemish that isn't really a stain is that the other party is a descendant of Jack the Ripper...

Although I planned to approach him in order to obtain a ticket to the game and see if I could get Noah's Ark, now that I think about it, the pressure of this whole plan is immense.

Asakawa Yu lay on the bed, her arm completely covering her eyes, thinking about tomorrow's matters.

Before she knew it, Asakawa Yu gradually drifted off to sleep, still clutching something tightly in her hand.

That was the talisman that Akemi personally gave him the night he confessed his feelings...
