[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 18
byVolume 1: Finale: Returning on a rainy night, father’s sight
The chaotic streets gradually returned to calm, with only sporadic police sirens remaining in the neighborhoods disturbed by the organization.Gin and Akai Shuichi stood side by side downstairs in the apartment. The evening breeze picked up the corners of their clothes and diluted the chilling atmosphere little by little.
Akai Shuichi’s eyes were always focused on the disappearing direction in the dark, and his heart was still beating violently.The figure that he thought had passed away long ago, and the concern that had been buried for many years, finally had the most real echo at this moment.
“He’s still watching.” Gin suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Your father has not gone far.”
Akai Shuichi slowly turned his head and looked at the man beside him.The other party still had that cold and indifferent look, but there was no trace of hostility towards Akai Muwu in his eyes, instead there was an almost tacit understanding.He suddenly realized that Gin might have known that Wuwu was alive a long time ago, and had even been tacitly knowing each other.
“You’ve known it for a long time.” It’s not a question, it’s a statement.
Gin snorted lightly, leaned against the car, and looked into the depths of the building: “There is no other person in the organization who can repeatedly destroy Rum’s layout and hide quietly until now, except Akai Mutake. He doesn’t show up, he is just waiting for the opportunity, and he is also… observing you.”
“Observe me?”
“Observe whether I am worthy of you.” Gin said bluntly, without any dodge in his green eyes, “He didn’t stop me just now, but helped us clear out the ambush. He has already made his attitude clear.”
Akai Shuichi’s heart suddenly shook.
Even the family members he cared about most were silently acquiescing to this entanglement that was supposed to be confrontational.
At this moment, the communicator vibrated slightly, and Conan’s voice came, still calm and steady: “Mr. Shuichi, the commotion has been completely controlled. All the people in the organization have retreated, and Mr. Hideyoshi is safe. In addition… I just took a picture of the back of a figure who looks very much like Mr. Akai’s father nearby.”
Akai Shuichi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a complicated warmth in his eyes.
“I understand.”
After hanging up the communication, he looked at Gin, his voice slightly hoarse: “Let’s go back.”
“Go back?” Gin took a step forward and gently held his wrist. The force was gentle but did not allow him to break away. “Go back to the care point, or… go back to our place?”
Akai Shuichi did not break away, but remained silent.
He didn’t have an answer, but he didn’t want to push it away anymore.
The two drove back to the safe base, silent all the way, but instead of the previous depression and confrontation, there was a tacit calmness.When the car stopped, night had completely enveloped the sky, much like the first rainy night in Kitato Port.
Everything started on a rainy night and continued to get entangled in the rainy night.
“Akai Shuichi.” Gin suddenly stopped him, his tone unprecedentedly serious, “No matter what your father thinks, no matter what the FBI thinks, no matter whether the organization will come again… I will never let go.”
“I know we have opposing positions and opposing identities.”
“But I care about you, and this has never been false.”
Akai Shuichi’s body froze in place, and the long-standing disguise, persistence, and defense collapsed at this moment.He slowly turned back and looked into those green eyes full of persistence and tenderness. His Adam’s apple rolled, and in the end, it turned into only a very light word.
“…I know.”
These three simple words were already his greatest honesty at the moment.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was about to completely soften, at the edge of the woods in the distance, a tall and silent figure stood quietly, looking through the night and landing in the direction of the safe house.
Akai Muwu looked at the two overlapping shadows by the window, and gently put out the cigarette butts with his fingertips.
Mari, Hideyoshi, Masumi…the family he has protected for half his life, now finally has a new bond.
As for the man in front of him who made his son shaken and the organization crazy, but was willing to protect the Akai family with his life, he temporarily… recognized it.
The figure flashed and completely disappeared into the darkness.
No appearance, no interruption, but the future pattern has been set.
