Mitsuhiko stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.

"That's because I'm a little nervous."

Professor Agasa habitually touched his bald head. "Let's just treat this as a walk, stroll around here."

"Doctor, aren't you looking forward to meeting Aunt Kinoshita?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa stopped, looked up slightly, and murmured, "How could I not be looking forward to it..."

Just then, Yusuke Suzuki stepped forward, put his hands on Professor Agasa's back and pushed him forward, saying, "The professor and I will go first. You guys, just stay in the back, understand?"

"What? We really want to see it too!"

"That's it."

"I want to see Aunt Kinoshita!"

The three boys immediately protested, and Suzuki Yusuke's suppression followed: "Don't you know how to give others some private space?"

"It seems like I'm not here for you to watch the show."

After the black-faced singer finished singing, the red-faced Ai Haibara followed closely behind, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone, just wait here. If Aunt Kinoshita comes, we can see her from behind too."

"it is good......"

The three little ones stopped struggling.

Conan didn't care and continued to decipher the code.

......

The autumn wind in the forest did not change direction, blowing forward from behind Yusuke Suzuki.

But Professor Agasa's pace slowed down.

After thinking for a moment, Yusuke Suzuki stopped walking. "Doctor, you can walk the rest of the way yourself. I'll wait here."

"Judging from your expression, my guess about the location is correct."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Agasa's face showed a hint of helplessness. "I only realized it before I left. That day's events were so important to her that it could become a place full of memories."

Yusuke Suzuki interrupted, smiling, "Let's save the story for our loved ones to reminisce about. At least, let's give these 40 years an ending."

"..."

For once, Dr. Agasa did not refute the word 'lover'.

With a heart full of thoughts, he took a step forward that gradually became more determined.

Fallen leaves fluttered down in lines, retreating from the ground back to the branches.

And Professor Agasa's figure also transformed back into his youthful appearance in a daze.

Ahead, there was a familiar figure that seemed like a distant memory.

She stood under the ginkgo tree, her hat brim pulled low.

But Dr. Agasa was certain that when she turned around, the first thing she would see was those bright, big eyes.

Chapter 709 Ginkgo-Colored First Love (5)

Upon seeing the beautiful figure under the tree, Professor Agasa was stunned again. He turned around hesitantly, receiving a look of encouragement from Yusuke Suzuki.

I made her wait for forty years...

Professor Agasa took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward, his footsteps crunching on the fallen leaves.

In my youth, I wished the autumn wind would understand my heart and dispel the unease in my soul.

Now, I feel the autumn wind understands my feelings and helps me find peace in my heart.

As Professor Agasa approached, Shizuka, who was leaning against the ginkgo tree, slowly turned around.

She turned her head slowly, her eyes lowered like the bright moon.

It rises and falls.

I want to see it but I dare not.

She had looked back like that many times before.

But this time, that person finally came.

Fusae stared blankly at Professor Agasa, her pupils trembling, her slightly parted, thin red lips seemingly conveying a thousand words.

"Fu...Fusa E..."

When Professor Agasa met the other person's gaze, his face turned red, and his tongue seemed to be tied in knots, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

But Fusa chuckled softly, "So you only become brave when girls are in danger."

"I...I...was very brave when I was under this tree..."

Dr. Agasa forced himself to speak a few words a little louder, and then instantly returned to his 'old, weak, sick, and disabled' state.

Upon hearing this, Fusae immediately recalled the scene from that time.

The wind blew off her hat, revealing her blonde hair, which she was most afraid of showing.

Having suffered discrimination since childhood because of her hair color, she cried and squatted down, covering her head, trying to stop Agasa, whom she liked, from looking at her.

At that time, she thought she was going to lose this unexpected... encounter.

But what she heard was such a comforting sentence.

"I really like it! Look, it's just like a ginkgo leaf, so pretty!"

Perhaps it was at that moment that that kind and gentle face, along with the ginkgo leaf in the other person's hand, was imprinted in my heart.

Fusae's vision returned to reality; the boy she once knew had become an old man, but his demeanor remained unchanged.

She hesitated for a moment, then parted her lips slightly, "Aren't we right under this tree now?"

Answer me bravely, just like you always have.

Tell me you are not married.

Tell me you still remember the past.

It's selfish to ask others to spend as much time waiting as you do... but... please...

Fusae kept talking to herself, but her expression remained calm, and she even hid the urgency in her eyes.

But Professor Agasa still understood.

For some reason, he felt that the old friend in front of him needed an answer.

"I'm sorry, Fusae."

Upon hearing those words, Fusa's heart immediately tensed up, then quietly relaxed.

She clearly has a good grasp of controlling her emotions.

She felt a tightness in her nose and turned away involuntarily. Just as tears were about to fall, the voice rang out again.

"I was so stupid, it took me a full forty years to decipher your code."

Professor Agasa had his hands on his hips, completely unsure of where to put them.

After a few more breaths of silence, he closed his eyes and chose to shout, though his voice was still very low, "I still love ginkgo the most!"

Just then, an autumn wind, seemingly from nowhere, broke the tranquility, swirling up layers of fallen leaves from the ground.

Fusae bit her lip hard, but joyful syllables still managed to squeeze out, and tears welled up in her eyes.

......

the other side.

Yusuke Suzuki was smoking with a British man on the side.

To stop the man, Yusuke Suzuki unleashed his full power, spotting him when he was a hundred meters away.

Then intercept directly.

The original plan was to use force to coerce them if negotiations failed.

But the other party was clearly knowledgeable; after understanding the situation, they stopped.

This man is Billy, a friend of Fusae's stepfather, who comes with her every ten years.

In the original story, this guy made Professor Agasa think that Fusae was already married, and in the end, he didn't explain that the three little ones were not his grandsons.

Therefore, Yusuke Suzuki was determined to stop this person.

Furthermore, none of the three children, including Conan and Ai Haibara, are allowed to get close.

Of course, besides stopping people, Yusuke Suzuki was also using his super hearing to eavesdrop.

Ahem... If the professor is so dense, and he still fails to come clean, then he should try to find a way to make amends as soon as possible.

After finishing his cigarette, Yusuke Suzuki looked up and glanced to his side.

Professor Agasa has finished his work.

In just a couple of breaths, Professor Agasa and Fusae walked out together, though there was still a distance between them that was about the size of an adult.

Perhaps because he was still calm, Professor Agasa did not greet him.

Yusuke Suzuki simply waited for the other party to come over.

When Fusae approached, he took the initiative to introduce himself.

There's no way around it; what if the other person mistakes me for Professor Agasa's son?

Fusae was shocked to learn his identity, after all, the Suzuki Foundation was indeed well-known.

After a brief chat, Fusae left by car.

Yusuke Suzuki wasn't worried, as the two of them had a date later, scheduled for the evening.

He only needs to show a little curiosity now, and he probably won't get any answers.

Sure enough, Professor Agasa started scratching his head and stammering when questioned, and then simply pushed Suzuki Yusuke to go find Conan and the others.

As soon as the two returned, the three little ones who were sitting on the ground playing with leaves immediately gathered around.
