Detective Kazunobu Chiba arrived along with Ninzaburo Shiratori.
Seeing Detective Chiba appear while Yuu Hoshimiya was right by her side, Naeko's eyes were instantly filled with conflict.
Inspector Shiratori, who believed his sweetheart had been stolen, naturally had no good expression for Yuu. After understanding the situation, he immediately led everyone back to the Metropolitan Police Department to take their statements.
Once inside the MPD, the male officers who passed by looked at Yuu with very complicated gazes.
The situation regarding Yumi Miyamoto and Miwako Sato was already semi-public, but faced with Yuu—who was smart, handsome, wealthy, and powerful—they couldn't even summon the thought of making a fuss.
They could only watch helplessly as the two "flowers" of the MPD and the Traffic Department were plucked by Yuu, not daring to utter a single word of complaint.
As a result, when the male officers saw Yuu, they hid like mice seeing a cat.
The female officers, however, were full of worship, swarming around him to ask for details about the case.
Fortunately, Yumi-chan was full of dominance. With a stern face, she unleashed a "lion's roar" that sent all those "birds and butterflies" scurrying away.
Then, she linked her arm with Yuu's, as if marking her territory, and dragged him into the interrogation room to record his statement.
The female officer taking the notes also had a look of pure infatuation. If Yumi hadn't been watching from the side, she probably would have made a move right then and there.
This Metropolitan Police Department was truly a heavy burden!
Soon, Yuu finished his statement and came out. Noticing Naeko Miike entering the tea room, he raised an eyebrow and followed her.
In the empty tea room, Naeko was filling a cup, her brow furrowed as if she were troubled by something.
Ever since leaving Senior Yumi's house the other day, she hadn't been able to forget what had happened.
She had even dreamed of Yuu Hoshimiya several times, waking up each time in a state of flustered shame.
She didn't want to believe she was someone who could change her affections so easily!
She had silently loved Detective Chiba for so many years, even transferring from Haido to the Beika headquarters for his sake.
Convincing herself to have a change of heart so easily was something Naeko couldn't do.
Therefore, seeing Detective Chiba today had thrown her into a state of confusion and distress.
Suddenly, a warm and familiar male voice rang out.
"What are you spacing out for? The water is overflowing."
The moment the words fell, Naeko acted as if she had been scalded by hot water.
She instinctively pulled her small hand back, only to have it caught in Yuu Hoshimiya's palm.
Holding the small hand where the webbing between the thumb and forefinger was red, Yuu gently blew on it, activating his healing magic.
A surge of cool energy slowly transferred over, and the scalded red skin faded, returning to its jade-like perfection.
Naeko's face flushed red instantly, and her ears gave a little twitch.
She looked at the gentle expression on Yuu's face, and her heart rate involuntarily accelerated.
"What a dummy. Getting burned while just getting water... how can anyone feel safe leaving you alone?"
His voice was full of doting affection. When she looked up, Naeko immediately turned her small head away, not daring to meet his gaze.
She couldn't help but try to pull her hand back, her body curling inward slightly like a frightened quail.
She instinctively took a defensive posture, as if terrified that the previous incident would repeat itself.
A flash of amusement crossed Yuu's eyes, but he controlled his expression, putting on a look of guilt.
"Naeko, actually, I've been wanting to apologize to you for the past few days."
"That day at Yumi's house, I was too impulsive. I did such outrageous things to you, and I've felt guilty ever since. Naeko, I really didn't mean to hurt you. It was like I was possessed; I just couldn't control myself. I'm truly sorry."
The little policewoman shook her head gently, her twin tails swaying with the motion.
Her blue, cat-like eyes looked up timidly, glancing at Yuu's expression before she put on a look of indifference.
"Yuu-kun, you don't need to say sorry. I forgot about that day a long time ago. Don't worry, I won't tell Senior about it."
Hearing this, Yuu feigned a look of immense relief.
Then, he spoke as if testing the waters, "Naeko, do you still like Detective Chiba very much?"
Hearing Yuu ask this question, Naeko felt an inexplicable wave of irritation, and her eyes became very complicated.
She turned her head away, her gaze dropping, her lips pouting slightly as she gave a stubborn response.
"Mmm!"
That micro-expression was a sign of a lie. Language can easily be used to lie, but body language isn't so easily controlled.
This naturally didn't escape Yuu's notice.
Yuu continued, "Well then, to make up for my previous mistake, how about I teach you how to catch Detective Chiba?"
At these words, Naeko's cat-like eyes went wide with total disbelief.
Her heart was full of resistance, and she glared at Yuu with a frown.
"What, you don't believe me? Only a man truly understands a man."
"Everyone has their own preferences and weaknesses. If you use the right 'medicine,' you'll get twice the result with half the effort. Not to mention, you two are childhood sweethearts!"
As he spoke, Yuu led Naeko to the door, standing extremely close to her.
They looked through the glass pane of the door at Detective Chiba, who was sitting at his desk outside.
Yuu began his explanation, "First, look at Detective Chiba's physique. As a detective, he naturally undergoes combat training, yet he's still this obese."
"This proves he doesn't like to move after work, and he specifically loves eating junk food like burgers."
"So, if you make some healthy, nutritious Western-style bento meals, he would probably love them."
"Furthermore, look at his desk. The surface is normal, but inside the lower cabinets, he has posters of various anime girl characters. It's clear he's an otaku who loves following anime."
"If you want to give him a gift, anime figurines and such would be very appropriate."
"Even though he's a bit childish, he's very loyal when his friends are in trouble..."
As Yuu continued his deduction, the little policewoman found herself becoming more and more annoyed as she listened.
She looked up at Yuu as if he were an idiot.
Soon, as she gazed at Yuu's side profile, her eyes grew a bit glazed, and she stopped paying attention to what he was saying.
When Yuu looked down, she panicked and looked away again.
She didn't even realize that a familiar large hand was now resting on her waist.
A wicked smile flashed on Yuu's lips as he continued, "In conclusion, Detective Chiba is just an otaku who has never had a girlfriend. Dealing with an otaku is very easy; you just need to be a little proactive to succeed."
As he said this, Yuu leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on Naeko's pink lips.
"Yuu-kun, what are you doing?"
The little policewoman's voice was trembling.
Yuu leaned close to her small ear, his warm breath hitting her skin.
"This is because Naeko is too shy and too clumsy."
"If you want to seduce a man, you have to master certain skills. For example, kissing skills require practice to be used proficiently."
"I'm helping you practice!"
Yuu spoke with a tone that sounded almost righteous, and Naeko was quickly led astray by his logic.
Then, with a slight exertion of force from his large hand, Naeko was pressed into his embrace, clinging tightly to him.
Yuu kissed her again.
It was bouncy and tender, and it tasted wonderful.
He wasn't going to let go so easily this time!
Under his practiced and masterful kissing technique, Naeko Miike was soon kissed into a daze, her head spinning.
Meanwhile, Yuu's large hands roamed and toyed with her body, taking every possible liberty.
Once he had had his fill of kissing, Yuu gripped the little policewoman's twin tails and spoke seductively.
"Besides needing to train your kissing skills to perfection, your oral skills also need diligent practice. Naeko, come, give it a try!"
Her face bright red and finding herself unable to resist, the little policewoman looked at Yuu and actually obeyed submissively.
Naeko Miike's blue cat-eyes were misted with moisture, and her face was as pretty as a sunset cloud. She looked incredibly adorable.
She was working hard, bobbing her head as she sucked on the "special ice cream."
However, this special ice cream was too large, and she struggled to fit it all into her small mouth.
Her pink tongue was working hard to lick and swirl around it, gathering as much as possible, while the sound of her swallowing echoed occasionally.
Seeing this scene inside the MPD tea room was truly not bad at all!
Yuu's large hand gently stroked Naeko's small head, toying with her twin tails as he spoke.
"Eat slower, eat slower. No need to rush; take your time."
Naeko pulled her mouth away and wrinkled her nose. "I can't! This is the tea room; people will come in. I have to hurry."
"Don't worry. I'm right here. I guarantee no one will find out you're 'sneaking a snack'!"
Leaning against the edge of the table, Yuu lifted his right leg and braced his foot against the door.
Of course, this was just for Naeko's benefit.
In reality, Yuu had already shrouded the tea room in a magical barrier, ensuring no one would discover them.
This move was quite a flex!
Naeko rolled her eyes at Yuu and went back to "gnawing" on the ice cream.
The mischievous Yuu continued to give instructions.
"You should lick down along the 'chocolate wafer' surrounding the ice cream, and don't forget to eat the special 'chocolate balls' too."
The little policewoman obediently did as told, her pink mouth moving slowly as she took a "chocolate ball" into her mouth.
Seeing this ultimate scene, Yuu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Hiss, this really has a unique flavor...
Yuu turned his head away, no longer watching Naeko eat the ice cream.
Just then, Inspector Megure's voice came from outside.
"Strange. It was working fine when I got water earlier. Why does it need maintenance now?"
Before he finished, Detective Chiba's voice also rang out.
"Inspector Megure, are you getting water too? How is the situation with the refugees Superintendent Odawara mentioned?"
Hearing their voices, Naeko's eyes were instantly filled with panic. She looked at the small glass window on the door with a sense of total despair.
If we're caught, I'm dead!
Yuu picked up a piece of printer paper, dampened it slightly, and pressed it against the glass pane, sticking it there.
Naeko finally let out a sigh of relief and continued her efforts to finish the "ice cream."
The conversation outside continued.
Perhaps because they were both chubby, Juzo Megure and Kazunobu Chiba got along quite well.
After about five minutes, once they were certain the tea room's water dispenser was out of commission, the two fat officers walked off together toward the stairs.
Inside the tea room, the weight was finally lifted from Naeko's heart. She couldn't help but hammer her fists against Yuu's chest a few times.
The little policewoman broke into a coughing fit. She had just swallowed the entire "ice cream," and it was so large she couldn't handle it; she had clearly choked.
Naeko turned to the sink, let out a few muffled coughs, and cleaned herself up before finally calming down.
Then, her watery eyes glared at Yuu. She didn't speak, her cat-eyes staring him down directly.
A faint smile appeared on Yuu's lips. He slowly reached out, his movements extremely deliberate.
The little policewoman saw the slow motion of his large hand and her body trembled slightly, but she didn't move.
Yuu wrapped his arm around Naeko's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, and planted a kiss on her cheek and then her pink lips.
Naeko's small hands gripped the hem of Yuu's shirt, her eyes trembling. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke in a small voice.
"I don't want to know about Detective Chiba's preferences. Yuu-kun, can you tell me what you like?"
As she said this, the blush in Naeko's cat-eyes was replaced by a look of firm resolve.
Yuu's smile deepened as he pressed his forehead against Naeko's, rubbing it gently.
"Me? I just need you. I don't need anything else."
Hearing this, a smile also flickered in the little policewoman's eyes, shining like stars.
"Sorry, Naeko. It seems I was too impulsive again..."
Before he could finish, a slender finger was pressed against Yuu's lips.
"I don't believe you. You do this every time. You're clearly doing it on purpose."
"You're right. I am doing it on purpose. Who told Naeko to be so cute?"
"Nonsense. Clearly Senior is cuter... Yamete... mmm... Mua..."
The sound of wet kissing filled the tea room again, thick with the scent of romance!
A long while later, Yumi-chan, having waited for Yuu to return for too long, finally came out to look for him.
Unfortunately, with the magical barrier in place, her search was destined to be fruitless.
Inside the tea room, Yuu and Naeko had progressed from intense kissing to heavy petting.
However, since it was the little policewoman's first time, Yuu suppressed the urge to start a full-blown battle right there after their brief intimacy.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet that night, they tidied their appearances and walked out of the tea room side-by-side.
Yuu took the opportunity to deactivate the magical barrier.
As they turned a corner in the hallway, the two of them—just having left the tea room—ran straight into Yumi Miyamoto.
A woman's sixth sense is a marvelous thing. Even though Yuu and Naeko were walking normally with a gap between them, Yumi immediately got the feeling that her man and her junior had hooked up.
Specifically, the way Naeko lowered her eyes and smiled bashfully toward Yuu gave Yumi the distinct sensation that she was being "greened."
"Yumi-chan, what are you doing here?" Yuu reached out and draped an arm over Yumi's shoulder.
Yumi smiled slightly. "Nothing much. Ms. Yoshida and the kids finished their statements. I wanted to see what your plans were."
"Alright then. It's almost noon. I'll take the kids for a meal and then send them home. Yumi, Naeko, come eat with us."
Naeko was about to agree, but Yumi reached out and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Yuu-kun, you guys go ahead. Naeko and I still have patrol duties, so we won't join you."
With that, Yumi dragged Naeko away.
Yuu shrugged, not minding at all.
He turned toward the interrogation room, picked up Sakurano and the others, and drove to a nearby restaurant.
Yumi and Naeko returned to their mini patrol car to begin their rounds.
Naeko's face was the picture of a guilty conscience. She didn't even dare glance at the Senior beside her, focusing purely on driving.
Back in the tea room, although Yuu had been the one to initiate things at first, it eventually amounted to her seducing her Senior's man!
Yumi, meanwhile, was leaning against the window, her arm propping up her cheek as she scrutinized Naeko with half-closed eyes. An occasional, strange low chuckle escaped her.
That laughter made Naeko feel incredibly nervous!
Naeko couldn't help but ask, "Senior, why are you laughing like that?"
"I was thinking... since you like Detective Chiba so much, Naeko, let me organize a mixer for you. I'll give you a chance to get close to him. I love playing matchmaker, and since Miwako and I both have someone now, I can't just watch you be lonely, can I?"
Hearing this, Naeko groaned inwardly.
"There's no need for Senior to worry about that. I can handle it myself."
Yumi-chan laughed like a big-sister mob boss, patting her own chest and causing her impressive assets to jiggle.
"Don't be shy! How could you handle it on your own? Leave it to me; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Naeko's expression became increasingly strained as the patrol car's speed began to climb.
In that tea room, she had finally recognized her own heart, and she had just shared intimate interactions with Yuu.
They had even made a date for tonight to share a romantic and wonderful "first time."
Now her Senior wanted her to go to a mixer with Detective Chiba? Just the thought of it was unacceptable! She couldn't stand it!
Seeing Naeko's face grow darker, a cold glint flickered in Yumi's eyes, and her smile became even stranger.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Don't tell me Naeko has had a change of heart and doesn't like Detective Chiba anymore?"
Having her secret pierced by her Senior in one go, Naeko's face filled with pure panic. The patrol car immediately swerved.
It wobbled and pulled over to the curb.
Naeko had the look of someone who had been caught red-handed. Sweat began to bead on her forehead, and she instantly turned into a pathetic, cowardly mess.
Yumi leaned over, her presence overwhelmingly dominant and terrifying: "That man couldn't possibly be Yuu-kun, could it?"
Naeko instinctively protested, "How is that possible?!"
"Oh? It isn't? What a pity. I thought Miwako and I were about to get another sister."
As she spoke, Yumi shook her head and sighed, putting on a look of regret that instantly left Naeko bewildered.
The little policewoman was easily misled and couldn't help but ask, "What? Senior... you and Inspector Sato... the two of you... how can that be?"
Yumi grinned wickedly, her tongue licking her lips seductively.
"That's right. You have no idea, Yuu-kun is very 'fierce.' One session lasts several hours; one person alone can't handle him."
Hearing this, Naeko instinctively frowned.
"That's not right... even though it's very big, the duration seemed pretty normal!"
Despite all her defenses, she had accidentally let it slip.
Naeko looked up and saw the treacherous look in her Senior's eyes.
She knew she had spoken out of turn and immediately tried to push the door open and escape.
But Yumi was faster. She ripped off her seatbelt in one motion.
With one step, she was sitting right on top of Naeko.
The driver's seat was reclined, and Yumi grabbed Naeko by the collar, beginning her interrogation.
"You still dare to say it's not him?! Tell me! When did you hook up with my man?"
Yumi intimidated the "little lamb" Naeko like a big bad wolf.
Soon, the little policewoman couldn't withstand the "delinquent-like" threats and finally spilled everything.
After hearing Naeko's confession, Yumi couldn't help but say, "Well, you're honest enough. You haven't done anything too transgressive yet."
"Hmph. Men are all pigs; they just love the young and pretty ones."
"Though you're only a few years younger than me. And what, is your chest just more elastic? What's so great about that?"
Yumi couldn't resist squeezing Naeko's breasts before comparing them to her own.
"Doesn't feel much different. Mine are actually bigger."
"Senior..."
"What 'Senior'? From now on, you call me 'Sister,' understood?"
Naeko was momentarily dazed.
"Senior Yumi... you aren't angry?"
"Of course I'm angry! But is being angry useful? Are you going to give up on him?"
At this, Naeko fell silent, but her cat-eyes were filled with a look of firm resolve.
"There you go. Besides, Yuu-kun is so outstanding, how could he only have a few women?"
"You have to call me Sister, and you have to call Miwako Sister too. There are others I need to introduce you to. From now on, you follow my orders, got it?"
Looking at Naeko's still-dazed expression, Yumi continued to explain.
"You didn't think Yuu-kun only had the few of us, did you? The battle hasn't even begun yet!"
As she said this, Yumi clenched her fist, her eyes burning with a competitive spirit.
Naeko, meanwhile, could only let out a mournful sigh.
She thought she was boarding a fast speedboat, but from the looks of it, she had just been dragged onto a luxury ocean liner. This time, she had truly been pulled onto a terrifying pirate ship!
