[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 66
byThe evening breeze knows its will, and everything goes well
As the night gets darker, the aroma of barbecue in Dr. Ali’s courtyard still lingers, and the gentle beating of the charcoal fire warms everyone’s faces.The evening breeze blew through the cherry trees, carrying tiny petals and falling down, clinging to the ends of hair and corners of clothes, like a gentle dream that refused to let go.In this gathering that transcended attitudes and let go of the past, there was no awkwardness or alienation, only the most genuine stability and warmth after the storm.
Fangtani Ling cleared away the empty plates on the table, his movements were skillful and brisk, and he always had a relaxed smile on his face.For a long time, he has been trapped in the disguise of an undercover agent and the heavy responsibility of his family and country. Never before has he been able to completely remove all his defenses like this, sit together with his former rivals and now close friends, and enjoy this pure fireworks alone.”I’ll take care of the rest. You guys sit down and rest.” He raised his hand and wiped his fingertips with a natural and easy-going tone. He lost the vigilance and fierceness of the former undercover police officers, leaving only the gentleness and down-to-earthness of an ordinary young man.
Akai Shuichi did not refuse, nor did he let him work alone. He stood up and walked to the sink to help sort out the scattered tableware.The two stood side by side, one cleaning and the other wiping, working in perfect harmony.The years when they once faced each other tit for tat in dark alleys and tested each other during missions have long gone with the collapse of the organization. Now, they are close friends who protect the same stability, and they are partners who can be trusted to back them up.
“Planning to stay in Tokyo from now on?” Akai Shuichi said softly, the gurgling water making the night even more quiet.
Rei Fukutani nodded, with gentle determination in his eyes: “Well, it’s enough to guard this land I want to protect, be an ordinary policeman, handle daily chores, and see that everyone is safe.” He paused, turned to look at Takeru Sato not far away, and said in a softer voice, “He is in good condition now, and he has really let go.”
Akai Shuichi followed his gaze and saw that the person by the window was sitting quietly, taking the candy from the Young Detective Team. He did not refuse or be cold, but nodded slightly and gently held the colorful candy with his fingertips.The hand that used to hold the gun now holds a small candy, and only peace and warmth remain in the eyes that were previously frozen.”He deserves such a life.” Akai Shuichi’s tone was firm but gentle. That was the person he tried his best to protect, and it was the most precious light after he emerged from the darkness.
On the other side of the courtyard, Kudo Shinichi gently held Mao Lilan’s shoulder and whispered interesting things about the high school campus. Xiaolan leaned on his shoulder, her eyebrows curved, and all the waiting and uneasiness turned into the stable happiness at this moment.Suzuki Sonoko took Kyogoku Makoto and planned her next trip with great interest. From the cherry blossom scene in Kyoto to the seaside of Okinawa, Azhen always listened quietly with doting eyes. No matter where she wanted to go, he would accompany her without hesitation.
Hui Yuan Ai sat on a small stool, looking at the lively crowd, with a slight smile on his lips.Ayumi leaned next to her and chattered that she wanted to go to the amusement park together. Mitsuhiko and Genta echoed beside her, their little figures full of energy.Ai nodded gently, without any resistance, only complete acceptance.She finally doesn’t have to be Shirley, or Miyano Shiho who carries a heavy past. She is just Haibara Ai, an ordinary girl who can grow up slowly, have close friends and laugh.
Takeru Sato looked down at the candy in his palm, hesitated for a moment, then gently peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into his mouth. A faint sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue, as gentle as the evening breeze at this moment, like the eyes of the people around him, and like this hard-won light.He never thought that his life would fall from endless darkness into such warm fireworks. There would be no instructions, no pursuit, no blood, only stability, companionship and goodwill.
After finishing everything, Fangtani Rei sat back at the table and took a sip of warm tea. He looked at the harmonious scene in front of him, and at the people who had been entangled in the darkness, all having their own happiness under the warm sun, and the last trace of tension in his heart completely dissipated.The home and country he protects are safe and sound, the people he cares about are safe and happy, and he himself has finally stepped out of the abyss and ushered in a new life.
“It’s getting late, I’m going back first.” Fangtani Rei stood up and smiled and waved, “Next time I will bring freshly baked snacks over, so everyone can rest early.”
Shuichi Akai and Takeru Sato stood up to see each other off. When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Rei Fukitani suddenly turned around and whispered: “Everything will be fine from now on.”
“You too.” Akai Shuichi responded softly.
The evening wind picked up again, and cherry blossom petals were dancing in the air. Takeru Sato raised his eyes and looked at Shuichi Akai beside him. For the first time, a clear and gentle smile appeared in his dark green eyes.Akai Shuichi stretched out his hand and gently held his hand. Their palms touched each other, and the warmth flowed, which was worth a thousand words.
All suffering comes to an end, and all tenderness appears.
The evening breeze knows what it means, the mountains and the sea are flat, the light falls on the world, and the rest of my life is peaceful.
