Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong put on a formal suit and went to the observation restaurant.

Although it's not yet the agreed time.

However, Zhiyong felt extremely nervous.

Just then, a beautiful woman walked into the restaurant.

A beautiful woman wears a pink rose-patterned sweater paired with skinny jeans.

Her short, jet-black hair gave her a refreshing and capable look.

Clear, bright purple eyes, arched eyebrows, a delicate nose, and a small, peach-shaped mouth.

Upon seeing the person enter the restaurant, Zhiyong stood up and waved to them.

When Liren saw Zhiyong, she walked over.

Upon reaching the dining table, Zhiyong stepped forward and pulled out a chair for the other person, allowing them to sit down.

Zhi Yong then sat down in his seat.

"Zhiyong, happy birthday, this is a gift for you."

"Thank you, Miwako-neechan."

The beautiful woman who arrived was none other than Sato Miwako.

Nearly half a year has passed.

Zhiyong and Sato Miwako have become very close.

However, for Sato Miwako, this intimacy was merely the intimacy she felt towards her younger brother.

However, this kind of intimacy is not what Zhiyong wants.

Zhiyong hopes the two can become a couple.

However, Miwako Sato is not very emotionally intelligent.

If Zhiyong hadn't spoken up, she might have continued to treat him like a younger brother.

Therefore, Zhiyong had been thinking about finding an opportunity to confess his feelings to Sato Miwako.

Today, Zhiyong plans to take advantage of his birthday to treat Sato Miwako to dinner.

Of course, the main purpose was to confess my feelings.

After ordering the food and the waiter left.

Sato Miwako said somewhat embarrassedly, "This restaurant is very luxurious, but I feel a little constrained eating here."

Zhiyong felt embarrassed after hearing what Sato Miwako said.

Miwako Sato is innocent, cheerful, and approachable; she prefers a more relaxed environment.

In fact, regardless of his past or present life, this was the first time Zhiyong had ever dined at such a high-class restaurant.

In this environment, Zhiyong also felt very restrained, making it difficult for him to say what he originally wanted to say.

Zhiyong sighed inwardly, "It would be better to create a romantic atmosphere at home; that would make it much easier to confess my feelings."

While eating.

Zhiyong looked at Sato Miwako and said, "I've learned a little bit of magic, how about I show you?"

Sato Miwako smiled and said, "Okay, let me see it quickly."

Zhi Yong first extended his hand to show her that there was nothing in it, and then made a few gestures to confuse her.

Sato Miwako was also looking at Tomoyuki, wanting to see what kind of magic trick he would perform.

After making a few feints, Zhiyong took out three roses from his spatial storage and said, "These are for you."

Miwako accepted the rose and said happily, "I didn't expect you to actually know how! I didn't even see how you conjured the rose. Chiyong, show me again."

Zhiyong's performance had already attracted the attention of the guests at the nearby tables.

Zhiyong no longer wants to be in the limelight.

Zhiyong feigned embarrassment and said, "Well, we don't have any other preparations for today, just this little performance."

Sato Miwako chuckled softly as she looked at Tomoyuki's embarrassed expression.

In fact, Zhiyong doesn't know any magic tricks at all.

Zhiyong simply put the roses into his spatial storage; he can take them out directly when needed.

Zhiyong can easily conjure up any item that exists in his space.

Zhiyong didn't want to perform anymore, mainly because he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would notice the problem.

Therefore, even when he took out roses earlier, Zhiyong didn't dare to take out too many.

I only dared to take out three roses, so that they wouldn't be too big and wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Both of them enjoyed the meal very much.

Fortunately, Zhiyong didn't have the Grim Reaper attribute, so nothing unexpected happened during the meal.

Today, Zhiyong wants to confess his feelings to Sato Miwako, so he hasn't made any plans for after dinner.

Inside this restaurant, Zhiyong couldn't bring himself to confess his feelings to Sato Miwako.

After dinner, Sato Miwako drove Zhiyong to his apartment building.

Zhiyong said to Sato Miwako, "It's still early, why don't we go upstairs and have a cup of coffee?"

Miwako hesitated for a moment, checked the time, and said, "Okay, it's still early."

While going upstairs.

Zhiyong grabbed Sato Miwako's hand.

Sato Miwako struggled slightly, but when she couldn't break free, she didn't resist anymore and let Zhiyong hold her hand.

We arrived at the room on the third floor.

Sato Miwako rolled her eyes at Zhiyong and said, "How long are you going to keep holding my hand?"

Sato Miwako's single glance was incredibly alluring.

This left Zhiyong stunned.

After a moment, Zhiyong regained his senses and pulled Sato Miwako into his arms.

He embraced Miwako Sato's slender waist.

Zhiyong looked directly at her and said, "From now on, no matter what storms we face, I am willing to sail with you. Along the way, I am willing to hold your hand for a lifetime and grow old with you."

As he spoke, Zhiyong lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

……

Chapter 16 Christmas Eve

When Sato Miwako confessed her feelings to Chiyu.

To her great surprise, before she could react, Zhiyong succeeded.

Sato Miwako was caught off guard by Zhiyong's sudden attack and was initially a little stunned, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

She never expected Zhiyong to be so bold, and stared at him with wide eyes.

Sato Miwako was initially a little resistant.

However, Sato Miwako felt as if she was being electrocuted by Zhiyong.

Just as Zhiyong was about to take another step.

Sato Miwako suddenly pushed Zhiyong away and said, "Zhiyong, we...we can't do this."

Zhi Yong felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and hurriedly asked, "Why?"

“I’m your older sister, we… how can we be together?” Sato Miwako looked at Tomoyuki with some unease.

Zhiyong asked seriously, "What does it matter? Although we are from the same clan, there are countless generations between us. The law allows us to marry, so why can't we?"

“We…we are too far apart in age, it’s not appropriate for us to be together, it would only hold you back,” Sato Miwako replied.

The way Sato Miwako looks now is a far cry from her usual decisive and efficient demeanor.

“We’re only a few years apart in age, which isn’t a huge difference, not decades. I’m unmarried now, and you’re unmarried, so we’re both single. There’s no question of infidelity, and our relationship isn’t against ethics. I’m already twenty-one, and I could have gotten married long ago,” Zhiyong added.

“This… this… anyway, it just won’t work. We really can’t be together,” Sato Miwako said, shaking her head.

"Am I really that hateful to you?" Zhiyong asked sadly.

"No, no, I don't hate you, really. I like you a lot too, but... but we really can't be together," Sato Miwako said hurriedly.

"Since you like me too, why can't we be together?" Zhiyong asked again.

"I...I...I've been cursed for a long time. Anyone I consider important will disappear before my eyes, like my dad, my elementary school PE teacher, my senior in the baseball club, and now, Officer Matsuda. I really don't want to feel this way anymore." Miwako's eyes were full of sorrow and loneliness.

Looking at Sato Miwako's forlorn eyes, Zhiyong felt a pang of heartache.

He then grasped Sato Miwako's hand and said, "With me here, no one dares to curse you. Don't worry about what others think. As long as we're happy together, what's wrong with that?"

Sato Miwako was a little flustered and said, "This... we... we've moved a bit too fast. I'm not prepared at all. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

Zhiyong hugged Sato Miwako tightly again and said, "Okay, Miwako, don't keep me waiting too long. Otherwise, I'll go crazy."

Sato Miwako hummed in agreement. Seeing that Zhiyong was just holding her and didn't make any further moves, she lay still in Zhiyong's arms.

The two chatted and embraced for a long time. Finally, seeing that it was getting late, Sato Miwako drove away.

On his birthday, Zhiyong confessed his feelings to Sato Miwako, and she neither rejected him nor accepted him.

In order to make his dream come true, Zhiyong needs to work even harder.

But after this confession...

The relationship between Zhiyong and Sato Miwako has also taken a little further steps.

In order to successfully confess my feelings again.

In private, Zhiyong also made a lot of efforts.
