Chapter 91 Jinjiang Solo Hair (2 in 1)(2/3)

An hour later, in Toru Amuro's living room, the dining table was filled with a variety of Japanese and Western home-cooked dishes. It was hard to believe that these dishes had been cooked quickly in just one hour.

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the side dishes on the table that clearly came from two styles, and felt a little dumbfounded.

…Is this your men’s strange desire to win?

The four of them sat down at the table. Furukawa Kumisa silently picked up his chopsticks, as if he was not listening to what was happening outside the window and was only thinking about eating.

Fortunately, the three of them calmed down during the meal, no longer arguing with each other, and did not open their mouths to embarrass her. This meal was very comfortable.

On the other hand, Edogawa Conan yawned loudly in the middle of eating. Only then did Furukawa Kumisa notice that there were two obvious dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept well last night.

"Conan-kun, didn't you rest last night?" Furukawa Kumisa asked casually.

Edogawa Conan rubbed his eyes and subconsciously replied: "Well, I didn't sleep..." Then as if he remembered something, he added stiffly, "...Okay."

Furukawa Kumisa looked a little surprised when he blurted out: ...What a coincidence, you also went to kill someone?

The key is, was it a sleepless night last night? Didn't everyone sleep?

She and Tohru Amuro are gone, Gin and Mescal ran away last night, and now even Edogawa Conan...wait a minute.

Furukawa Kumisa suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked at Subaru Okiya opposite him.

Edogawa Conan... knew that Subaru Okiya was Shuichi Akai, right? After all, he had let him live in his home, and it was even possible that the entire fake death plan was made by the two of them.

If Edogawa Conan did something without sleeping last night, what about Akai Shuichi?

——Edogawa Conan is trapped in the body of a 7-year-old child, Akai Shuichi is different, he just wears a mask.

She observed Okiya Subaru carefully, but because he was wearing a human skin mask, she couldn't tell any clues from his face.

What's more, as far as she knows, Akai Shuichi is a devil who can spin for a week without getting tired.

Last night, Gin went on a mission and was shot in his body armor. Vodka was seriously injured and fell into a coma in the hospital. He would not wake up until tonight.

——In the entire world of Ke Xue, she had only seen Gin become deflated once, and that was at the hands of Shuichi Akai.

...could this be a coincidence?

With this horrifying question in mind, Furukawa Kumisa waited in silence until the end of the meal.

She helped clear away the dishes, and then thanked Toru Amuro: "Thank you so much, Amuro-kun for today. It's getting late, so I won't stay here to disturb you."

Okiya Subaru stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

For the first time, Toru Amuro just glanced at Subaru Okiya without stopping him.

However, Furukawa Kumisa was a little confused: "What about Conan-kun?"

He came with Okiya Subaru, and thought he would leave with him.

The person who answered the call was Toru Amuro: "I have a commission that I need to ask Teacher Mouri for. I will visit the detective agency in the evening. Conan-kun can let me send him back."

This explanation was reasonable, but Furukawa Kumisa instinctively felt it was a bit strange, but he couldn't find fault with it.

Doubts flashed through my mind: ...Toru Amuro seems to be very close to Edogawa Conan? Even because he is disguised as a disciple of Kogoro Mori, is the relationship too good?

But her question was quickly interrupted by Toru Amuro, who handed the ointment to her hand: "Remember to apply the ointment according to the instructions. The injury on your back..."

Furukawa Kumisa took the ointment and said: "It doesn't matter, I can apply it myself."

Amuro Toru swallowed the interrupted sentence "I can come and help you apply medicine every day" and replaced it with: "...can you do it yourself?"

Furukawa Kumisa gave him a strange look: "My housekeeper comes regularly to clean and cook. I can ask her to help me."

She's not really alone.

And as long as he doesn't come to check her wounds every day, there is hope that she can let the system help her quickly repair her hands and feet.

Subaru Okiya picked up Furukawa Kumisa's bag and opened the door for her. He turned around and smiled kindly: "I will remember to remind her to apply medicine on time."

Toru Amuro:......

Furukawa Kumisa pretended not to see the last flash of swords between the two men, tightened the scarf around his neck and went out.

...Then she took off her scarf as soon as she got to Okiya Subaru's car.

"Oh my gosh, it's too hot to wear a scarf today."

She pulled off her scarf and fanned herself desperately.

Subaru Okiya opened the car window for her and turned on the ventilation. She fastened her seat belt and the two of them officially hit the road.

Furukawa Kumisa was thinking about his previous suspicions and was thinking about how to talk to him along the way. Unexpectedly, Okiya Subaru spoke up first.

"who is it?"

Subaru Okiya's tone is very cold, and his deep voice is very close to Akai Shuichi's original voice.

Furukawa Kumisa hadn't reacted yet: "What?"

"...Who hurt you like this?"

Furukawa Kumisa held the scarf in his hand, stirred it, and said truthfully: "...Gin."

She was so hesitant that she didn't want to excuse Gin. If she had the chance, she would be the first to shoot the bastard.

It's just that she knows that Akai Shuichi's current state is relatively... unstable. If she tells him the truth, she is afraid of causing any trouble.

She waited with bated breath for Akai Shuichi's reaction, and then it came——

"Congratulations to the host. The target of the attack, Shuichi Akai, has increased his favorability with the host by 2 points."

Furukawa Kumisa:...??Why is he so happy when he heard that I was beaten like this by Gin??

System: "...Is it possible that he is happy that you are willing to trust him and tell him the truth?"

Since the topic had already reached gin, Furukawa Kumisa simply asked: "Did you last night..."

What sounded almost at the same moment as her words was Akai Shuichi's voice: "Have you ever thought about leaving the organization?"

Furukawa Kumisa:……?

Furukawa Kumisa's mind was almost blank for a moment. She didn't expect that Akai Shuichi's topic could change so quickly, and it was such an abrupt topic.

She paused: "Why do you say this so suddenly?"

Akai Shuichi looked at the road ahead, his fingertips clenched tightly on the steering wheel, "It wasn't sudden."

"Um?"

"It's not something I want to say suddenly. I already had this idea back then." His tone softened a bit, "You once told me that you only helped the organization when you were adopted since you were a child, but with the organization

The feelings in it are not deep, are they?"

Furukawa Kumisa recalled that it was indeed her second life character, and she probably did say this sentence - although it was probably used to gain favor with Akai Shuichi at the time.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Akai Shuichi took it as her acquiescence: "...Do you still think so now?"

It was not easy to answer this. Furukawa Kumisa thought about it and could only mumble: "Well..."

Akai Shuichi slowed down and tried to make his tone less excited: "I have a perfect way to solve your identity problem. I can take you away. Leave the organization, leave Japan, wherever you want to go..."

At the end of his speech, he still raised his voice a little and his tone became excited.

Furukawa Kumisa didn't know what stimulated Akai Shuichi to suddenly say such words.

But she had an intuition that Akai Shuichi was not feeling right now, so she tried to comfort him: "Shuichi..."

The moving vehicle suddenly stopped on the side of the road. Furukawa Kumisa leaned forward due to inertia. She wanted to turn her head to look at Akai Shuichi, but she was immediately wrapped in a hug.

——The next second after parking the car, Shuichi Akai unbuckled his seat belt and hugged her sideways.

His embrace was very light, as if he was concerned about her injuries and hardly used any force.

His head rested faintly on her shoulder, and he gently held her in his arms, and the silent air passed between the two of them.

Furukawa Kumisa hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched his back: "Shuichi..."

Then she discovered that Akai Shuichi was shaking.

He was afraid, the moment he saw her injury, he was afraid - he was afraid of losing her again.

Furukawa Kumisa suddenly became speechless.

"I'll take you away..." He leaned on her shoulder and just repeated these words.

This was something he should have told her back then, something he repeated countless times in his dreams but never had the chance to say in person.

Her scars evoked Akai Shuichi's deepest nightmare, the nightmare in which she languished on the ground and lost her breath before his eyes, becoming a cold corpse.

——Akai Shuichi can accept anything except losing her again.

Furukawa Kumisa understood that he probably had PTSD, and just as she was thinking about how to comfort him, Akai Shuichi suddenly let go of her.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, delicate box. When Furukawa Kumisa saw the style and size of the box, his breath suddenly froze.

"...I know I shouldn't hand something like this to you at such a hasty moment. I have simulated this scenario many times..."

Shuichi Akai opened the box.

"But at this moment, I suddenly had a premonition - it's now."

In the velvet box, a ring shines brightly in the dim environment.
