PS: Although it's a little sudden, it seems to be within reason. Well, I hope everyone can support me as always in the future. I'm very grateful. Thank you! The following text:
After taking his revenge, the thing that Sasama Akira was thinking about was the exchange with Fantasy Night. Previously, revenge was everything to her. However, now that the hatred had disappeared with Ehara Tokio's death, the problem that she had neglected before became important again. The most important thing now was the agreement with Fantasy Night. After this, was she really going to be a maid for Fantasy Night?
A maid was nothing in this country. Any villa or manor would basically have a maid. Moreover, it was not like before. A maid was just a job and not a servant that completely belonged to the master. No matter what, it was in the hands of the master. However, being a maid for Huan Ye was obviously not as simple as a job.
After taking revenge, Akiko Sasama started to think about whether it was worth it.
However, this problem wasn't something that could be solved so easily. Before that, there was another problem. After the police's questioning, he washed up and prepared to rest in the room with Satoshi Maeda.
"I'm sorry, Ah Cong. If only I hadn't said that I wanted to join this tour group.”
"Don't say anymore. I insisted on coming with you.”Satoshi Maeda said while brushing his teeth," And it's all the Dark Duke's fault.”
" Ah Cong…" Akiko Sakayama looked at Satoshi Maeda's back and felt a little complicated." Could it be that you…"
"Hmm?"
"Ah, nothing." Zuoshan Akiko smiled." Then I'll go to bed first. Sleep early."”
"Good night."
" Yes," Satoshi Maeda replied. Akiko Sasama walked towards the bed, but she sighed helplessly. She knew, or rather, she had guessed, that the person who pretended to be the Dark Duke and appeared in front of her and Conan Xiaolan was Satoshi Maeda. She thought that as long as she appeared in front of others with the Dark Duke, she would be able to clear herself of suspicion. Satoshi Maeda was obviously helping her, but she did not know how he knew that she was the murderer.
Satoshi Maeda sighed helplessly. He loved her more than he loved himself, so even if he knew that Akiko Sasama had killed someone, he did not plan to expose her. Instead, he chose to help her hide it and even take the blame for her.
There were so many people in the world, and there would always be someone who would love without caring about anything, even though many relationships these days had become fragile in the face of reality.
On the other hand, Conan had already cracked the so-called secret chamber, but he was still a little short. Although there were suspects, the decisive evidence seemed to be a little short, so Conan had not completely solved the case.
Fantasy Night was still looking up at the stars in the sky. He calculated that it was about time and said to Taki Naoko," Naoko, do me a favor."”
"Please instruct me, Master." Takei Naoko was playing the role of a qualified maid. She and Quantum both satisfied Fantasy Night, unlike Sasuyama Akiko, who knew that resistance was a good thing. However, meaningless resistance would only harm others and herself in the end. Moreover, was being Fantasy Night's maid necessarily a bad thing?
No one could say for sure, but in the eyes of Takei Naoko and Quantum, it was not bad. Perhaps it was because their requirements were not high.
Fantasy Night took out a specially made piece of paper and quickly wrote down the new terms of the exchange. Then, he handed it to Takei Naoko." Take this to Akiko Sasayama and tell her that I'll give her a chance. As long as she signs this and leaves her fingerprints on it with her blood, I'll let bygones be bygones no matter what her previous plans are. Otherwise, the exchange will end here."”
The exchange was something that Satoyama Akiko had done first, so it was considered Satoyama Akiko's responsibility. Although it did not break the previous agreement, Huan Ye did not have the time to care about this.
Takei Naoko didn't say much. She took the light blue translucent paper and left without even looking at it, leaving Huan Ye alone to look at the galaxy in the night sky.
……
Without any delay, Takei Naoko quickly arrived at the room where Akiko Sasaki was. Akiko Sasaki was still awake. When he realized that Takei Naoko was looking for him, he immediately followed her out. Satoshi Maeda frowned as he watched the two of them leave, but he did not say anything or follow them. Perhaps he knew that doing so would be useless.
After handing the contract to Sasuya Akiko, Takei Naoko repeated what Fantasy Night had said. Hearing her words, Sasuya Akiko was a little panicked. However, after reading the contract carefully, she frowned. The conditions were even harsher. The maid term that should have been ten years was now fifty years. There were also several new terms. The most important point was that Fantasy Night wanted her to kill Satoshi Maeda.
" This condition is impossible!" Sasama Akiko rejected him without even thinking. He was even a little angry." We've already discussed the conditions. Why did you suddenly change them?”
"You were the one who violated the exchange agreement first. You don't intend to honor the previous exchange agreement, right?”
"I didn't!" Of course, Sasama Akiko would not admit it. Although she had this idea, she had not put it into action yet, right? "You can't make me sign such a harsh treaty based on your own guesses. It won't do me any good.”
Upon hearing what Akiko said, Takei Naoko looked at her calmly. She was a smart woman, but unfortunately, she was not smart enough to understand her situation.
"You're wrong. To you, signing this contract will bring you great benefits. At least you won't have to pay the price for going against the previous exchange.”
Yes, this was the benefit of signing this contract. It would allow Sasuyama Akiko to not have to pay the price. In Takei Naoko's opinion, this was already a great favor. If it were anyone else, perhaps Huan Ye would have directly killed him.
"The exchange is opened by the master. The rules are also set by the master. He can set the rules and change them. The master will abide by the rules he set, but if someone breaks the rules first, the master will not be polite.”
After saying that, Takei Naoko turned around and left. However, after a few steps, she suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, she said," No matter what choice you make, I just hope you don't regret it.”
This time, after he finished speaking, he really left. Zuoshan Akira was still a little angry, but he forced himself to calm down. He looked at the contract in his hand and wanted to throw it away. However, he did not throw it away in the end. Instead, he put it away because he was inexplicably worried. Huan Ye seemed to know what he was thinking. It did not seem so easy to not be his maid.
……
Takei Naoko quickly returned to her room. She did not say anything else because she knew that everything was definitely under Fantasy Night's control. She did not need to tell Fantasy Night to know.
Huan Ye placed his hands on the railing, his fingers tapping rhythmically. He did not ask, but waited for the final moment to arrive. At that time, everything would be over.
……
The police's investigation was still ongoing, and Conan's investigator was also doing well. It was as if something was blessing him. All kinds of coincidences and unintentional words always gave him inspiration, allowing his deduction to flow smoothly. Although it was already late at night, he was still not sleepy at all. Instead, he was full of energy and quickly solved the case.
The sleeping Kogoro appeared once again, and the members of the detective team were also gathered. In front of everyone, Maori Kogoro was sleeping soundly, but Conan used Maori Kogoro's voice to complete his deduction. Without Fantasy Night's obstruction, it seemed that no one could stop Conan.
Satoshi Maeda really loved Akiko Sasaki. Even though there was conclusive evidence, he still wanted to exonerate Akiko Sasaki and take the blame for her. However, in the end, Akiko Sasaki still admitted that he was the murderer. Perhaps she had some other plans and wanted to free him from Fantasy Night. This was the first big thing after completing his revenge.
However, she was still very touched by Satoshi Maeda's actions. Before he was taken away, he even said," Ah Cong, I'm such a woman. You'd better forget about me as soon as possible, hahaha…"
She laughed as she was taken away by the police, but Conan clearly saw the tears at the corner of her eyes. This was a moderate move for Conan. Although killing was wrong, he couldn't completely deny this person just because someone else had made a mistake!
"I will always wait for you!" Satoshi Maeda said and made Akiko Sasayama stop. The police seemed to understand and did not say anything.
"Until you come out, I will definitely wait for you!”
Upon hearing Satoshi Maeda's firm tone, Akiko Sayama's body trembled slightly. Trembling. At this moment, she was a little glad that she did not accept Huan Ye's new exchange agreement. In life, it was not easy to find someone who loved her.
"Idiot."
Perhaps she was really stupid, so stupid that she could no longer hold back her tears. At this moment, she suddenly felt much more relaxed. Perhaps, something bad would happen if she violated the exchange agreement, but just as Takei Naoko said, no matter what choice she made, she hoped that she would not regret it.
Now, he had no regrets!
……
Standing on the balcony, Fantasy Night watched as Sasuyama Akira was taken away. He was silent for a long time before he shook his head." What a pity!"”
He thought that someone would take over after Quantum left. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. It seemed that he needed to find a new maid to take over Quantum's position.
However, since Sasuyama Akiko had already decided to completely violate the exchange agreement, there was no need for him to hold back. This was the first time that the exchange had failed, right? However, it was not considered a failure. At the very least, he had done what he should have done. Although Sasuyama Akiko had still been captured, this was not the main point.
"Master."
"What?"
"I will use my future in exchange for you not attacking her. Until the day I die, I will be your maid.”
Takei Naoko said calmly, but Huan Ye still frowned when he heard this.
"Are you very familiar with her? There's clearly no relationship between them. Is she worth exchanging your life for?”
"She's not worth it." Takei Naoko shook her head. Without waiting for Huan Ye to respond, she continued," But that relationship was worth it.”
In this world, there was always such a feeling that could move people. Although the conversation between Akiko Sasuyama and Satoshi Maeda was very far away, Takei Naoko heard it through Fantasy Night's ability. Therefore, she made this decision in an instant.
Moreover, there was another reason. This way, it seemed that he could avoid the incident with Quantum from happening to him. Quantum would not be able to continue being a maid by Fantasy Night's side in the near future. He would not face such a thing if he used his entire life in exchange, right?
"Feelings…huh?" Fantasy Night looked up at the endless night sky again.”
