"By the way, boss, why did you suddenly come here?"

After embracing, Akemi finally asked the question she most wanted to know. She hadn't told Asakawa Yu and the others where they were going before she set off, but Asakawa Yu still managed to find her way here.

Asakawa Yu smiled helplessly, turned to look at the person who was talking to Sonoko, and replied helplessly, "Actually, I really didn't know you were coming here beforehand. I was just bored at home when I received a call from Kyogoku Makoto."

"He started by saying that Sonoko didn't like him anymore and that she was going to be kidnapped by someone else, which left me completely confused. But after he mentioned that Sonoko and the others were coming to make chocolates for that guy, I knew roughly what had happened."

"You saw what happened next. After I learned that Sonoko was going to make chocolates, and you had told me before that you two would be going out together during this period, I guessed that the purpose of you two coming out together was to make Valentine's Day chocolates."

“But at that time, Makoto Kyogoku wouldn’t listen to anything, so in order to let him know the truth, I had no choice but to bring him along.”

With Asakawa Yu's explanation, Akemi and the others also learned why they were there—it was all due to a misunderstanding.

"So, the phone call you answered back then wasn't from anyone else, but from Kyogoku?"

Ai stood beside him with her arms crossed and suddenly said something.

"That's right, but I didn't expect that I would run into something like this when I just came out to make chocolate. Should I say you are lucky or unlucky?"

"Heh, you'll have to ask a certain great detective for that." Ai Haibara glanced at Conan with a sneer, the implication of which was self-evident.

"It seems the misunderstanding has been resolved." Asakawa Yu sighed, seeing that everything was fine on the other side.

"Yes, Sonoko was worried when she came today, but now it seems she was just scaring herself."

"By the way, I heard your reasoning just now. It was very good. It seems you have the potential to become a detective."

As if recalling something amusing, Asakawa Yu looked at Akemi with a smile, her words full of teasing.

"Ugh~ How annoying! So you were already outside back then. Why didn't you come in sooner!"

Akemi covered her slightly flushed cheeks with a shy expression, like a bashful little hamster, which was quite delightful to look at.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. But seriously, I'm happy and proud to see that you actually figured out the truth on your own."

Asakawa Yu stroked Akemi's hair, squatted down slightly to bring his perspective to Akemi's, and quietly gazed at her with tender eyes.

Mingmei stared at him blankly, her mouth opening and closing, and finally she could only ask shyly, "Actually... I'm not as good as you think, I'm probably not even at the level of an ordinary person."

Asakawa Yu chuckled, "If you can't be considered an ordinary person, then all the truly ordinary people aren't human. Besides, no matter what you say, in my eyes, you are the best."

Hearing these sweet words, Mingmei's already fluctuating heart beat even faster, and her face flushed even more. "Why do I feel like you're talking more than usual today? It just feels... a little strange."

"It's just the atmosphere. But then again, if we don't rein ourselves in, we might not be able to get out later."

At that moment, Mingmei turned her head and realized that everyone else had been staring at the two of them for some time now, and everyone couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

That night, all Asakawa Yu knew was that Akemi's face was flushed, and the matter only ended when she went back to her room to rest...
