[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 19

Family’s sight and unspoken thoughts

When we returned to the safe base, the night was already dark.The warm yellow light in the house fell on the two of them, diluting the previous solemn atmosphere on the street.Gin casually took off his windbreaker and put it on the sofa. Without the cold and hard outer covering, his whole body became less aggressive and more relaxed, almost like everyday life.

Shuichi Akai walked to the window and confirmed that the FBI agents downstairs were still on tight alert before taking out his personal mobile phone and dialing Haneda Hideyoshi’s number.He must make sure that his brother is completely safe, and also vaguely remind him not to show up easily in the near future.

The call was quickly connected, and Hideyoshi’s brisk voice came: “Brother? Are you okay? There was a big commotion outside just now, and I was worried about you.”

“I’m fine. I hope you’re safe over there.” Akai Shuichi said softly, “Don’t go out much these days. I would also like to remind you from Mazumi not to have casual contact with strangers.”

“I know~” Hideyoshi paused, and his voice suddenly lowered a bit, with a hint of gossip, “By the way, brother, someone seemed to have helped me drive away the bad guys downstairs just now, and… I seemed to see Dad’s back. Although it was just a flash, it was definitely right!”

Akai Shuichi’s fingertips tightened slightly.

Sure enough, Hideyoshi also noticed it.

“Don’t think too much, take good care of yourself.” He didn’t call, he just said a few words and hung up the phone.

The phone call wasn’t long, but it was long enough for Gin beside him to hear the conversation clearly.He leaned on the sofa, picked up the water that Akai Shuichi had just poured on the table, and said slowly: “The whole family is about to know, how long do you plan to hide it?”

Akai Shuichi turned around with a calm expression: “I didn’t hide it, it’s just that the time has not come yet.”

“Timing?” Gin chuckled, put down the water glass, stood up, and walked toward him step by step, “From the moment you brought me back here, there is no such thing as timing. Judy knows, Conan knows, your father knows, and even your brother is vaguely aware… How long do you think you can hide it?”

He stopped in front of Akai Shuichi. The two were very close and their breaths were intertwined.

“Or are you afraid of your mother?”

Mary Akai, the tough and decisive mother who is also in the fog, once she learns that her son is too deeply involved with the core figures of the black organization, the consequences will never be easy.

Akai Shuichi remained silent.

It’s not that he’s afraid, but he doesn’t want to involve his family in deeper danger, and he doesn’t want to disappoint his mother.

At this moment, the phone vibrated again. This time, the caller ID showed – Mary.

Shuichi Akai’s eyes darkened slightly, and he answered the phone with his voice as calm as possible: “Mom.”

“Xiuyi, where are you now?” Mary’s voice was calm and sharp, with her usual strength. “The urban riots are related to the organization. Did you participate in the action?”

“Yes.” He didn’t hide it.

“Is that person… with you?” Mary’s tone suddenly lowered, with a hint of imperceptible solemnity, “I received news that this riot was organized for Gin.”

The air solidified instantly.

Akai Shuichi’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and he neither admitted nor denied it.

This silence is already the best answer.

Mary was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: “I don’t care what happened between you two. I only want to remind you one thing – don’t forget your identity, let alone your family. And…about your father, I think he will take the initiative to contact you soon.”

After saying that, the call was hung up directly.

The room fell completely silent.

Gin looked at his slightly solemn expression, her eyes darkened slightly, but she didn’t tease him. She just said lightly: “It seems that your mother has guessed it.”

Akai Shuichi put away his phone and raised his eyes to look at him, with complicated and difficult to distinguish emotions in his eyes.The awareness of his family, his father’s return, his mother’s warning, the shackles of his position…all the pressure fell on him in an instant.

Gin suddenly took a step forward and gently pressed his shoulders. His movements were rare and gentle: “Don’t be afraid.”

“I’ll face your family’s side.”

“I’ll hold the FBI over there.”

“The organization is over there, I’ll clean it up.”

“You just have to stand by my side.”

The light was soft and scattered, quietly superimposing the two figures together. In the long night, only each other’s quiet breathing was left.
