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

"Boss, have you forgotten? Today isn't the weekend, Ai and the others have to go to school."

After Mingmei explained it to me, I remembered this incident.

After all, I've been here for so long that my concept of time has become quite vague.

Today might be Monday, but tomorrow could be the weekend.

He had experienced this situation many times before. At first, he would try to figure out how to resist this strange phenomenon, but after many attempts, he... gave up.

There's nothing we can do about it; since we can't change it, we might as well try to adapt.

"That's true, it was my own fault for not considering that," Asakawa Yu replied casually, trying to cover up his inability to tell time.

"Boss, you still have no sense of time at all," Mingmei said with a hint of exasperation.

In Mingmei's and the others' view, it's not as simple as just not having a sense of time.

Fortunately, after experiencing it a few times, they got used to it.

"But speaking of which, I really missed you while you were away, boss."

As if she had thought of something interesting, Akemi suddenly said to Asakawa Yu.

"Huh? You say that too?"

Asakawa Yu was startled because Professor Agasa had told him the same thing when he returned. He had initially been somewhat skeptical, but now even Akemi was saying the same thing. Could it really be true?

But he simply couldn't imagine what the proud little girl he remembered would look like if she missed him.

The thought of Ai Haibara standing there with teary eyes, crying out, "I miss Asakawa-nii-san," gave Asakawa Yu goosebumps.

Seeing Asakawa Yu suddenly shudder, Akemi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, I just can't quite imagine what Ai would think of me." Asakawa Yu said the truth, but unexpectedly, this remark aroused Akemi's teasing.

"Pfft! If Ai knew you were talking about her like that, she'd probably argue with you again." Akemi covered her face and laughed.

"By the way, didn't anything interesting happen during your trip abroad?"

When Akemi suddenly asked, Asakawa Yu replied, "For example?"

"For example, seeing some pretty girls or something." Akemi said with a smile, saying things that would make most men break out in a cold sweat.

But Asakawa Yu thought about it and realized that Shinichi Kudo's mother should be considered a beauty, right?

So, under Akemi's dumbfounded gaze, Asakawa Yu nodded.

???

"No, you actually have one!"

Seeing Asakawa Yu nod, she was momentarily at a loss whether to praise him for being brave or for being honest.

Immediately, Mingmei laughed in anger, clenched her fists tightly, and glared at him fiercely, "Then why don't you spend a few more days with her over there?"

Asakawa Yu was a little confused by Akemi's words, but she still carefully imagined what it would be like for her to go out with Kudo Yukiko and her family.

"No, that's not appropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

For a moment, neither of them realized that they were chatting across servers.

"Because her husband won't allow it."

Asakawa Yu wasn't wrong in saying that. Before he fully trusted him, Kudo Yusaku wouldn't agree to his wife getting close to him.

But when these words reached Akemi's ears, they took on a different meaning.

"What?! The other party is married?!"

Seeing that Akemi's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, Asakawa Yu belatedly realized that Akemi must have misunderstood something, so she quickly began to explain.

As expected, after Asakawa Yu's explanation, Akemi realized that she had misunderstood.

Instantly, Akemi's entire face turned bright red. "It's...it's all because you made it so easy for people to misunderstand!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't make it clear from the beginning. I'm sorry."

It came and went quickly; soon, Mingmei had completely forgotten about what had just happened and began asking about the important matter.

"Won't this put you in any danger?"

Akemi asked worriedly. Although she was very familiar with Conan, she really knew nothing about his parents, so it was normal for her to be cautious.

But Asakawa Yu quickly dispelled her doubts, "No, at least under the current circumstances, they would never do anything out of line to me."

Asakawa Yu is absolutely right. The current situation is actually quite simple.

Conan needs to find and destroy that organization, and the final antidote will require Ai Haibara's help in its development.

Asakawa Yu was one of the few people who knew his identity, and he also possessed a lot of information about the organization. Therefore, the Kudo couple had no reason to be enemies with Asakawa Yu when it came to fighting against the organization.

Not to mention, the two of them are far away overseas, and their own son still needs Asakawa Yu's help to take care of him. In this respect, they are indebted to Asakawa Yu.

After explaining things carefully to Akemi, Akemi finally felt relieved.

Without asking any further questions, he quietly drove home.

"Crack!"

As Asakawa Yu closed the car door and looked at the mansion she had seen again after more than a week, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

"By the way, since Professor Agasa went abroad like you, Ai has been staying with us for a while."

Akemi only remembered this after she got home, so she only told Asakawa Yu now.

"It's okay, Ai can come if she wants to. It's just across the street anyway."

Asakawa Yu didn't seem to care about the matter. Even if Haibara Ai wanted to stay here for a few days, Asakawa Yu wouldn't say anything.

After all, she was Akemi's sister, so she was his sister.

Although Ai Haibara might not agree, after all, she wouldn't abandon the Doctor no matter what.

"Let's go inside first. By the way, it seems like Ai and the others are bringing those kids over to play after school. Is that okay?"

Are those kids coming to our house?

"No problem at all."

These were Asakawa Yu's honest thoughts. Although those kids often caused trouble, they were still quite responsible in times of crisis, so Asakawa Yu didn't dislike them.

"Okay, I'll go prepare dinner tonight. You should go and rest for a while. You've been working hard lately."

Under Akemi's persuasion, Asakawa Yu could no longer refuse and went upstairs to take a break.

Until the sound of a door opening woke him from his sleep.

"Hey, aren't you planning on getting a haircut yet?"

The door to the room clicked open, and Ai Haibara's cold voice echoed in the air...
