Yoruichi Toyama accepted the request without much hesitation, despite the fact that Superintendent General Hakuba had not come forward.

One reason is that he is quite familiar with the case; it's an old theatrical version, and the reasoning isn't too complicated. With a little guidance, he can find the culprit even faster than before.

There is no possibility that Chief Inspector Odagiri might be implicated, as Superintendent General Hakuba feared.

It should be said that the police were worrying unnecessarily because of the interference of Minister Odagiri.

For Yoruichi Toyama, the infighting between political factions was too distant to warrant concern.

As long as Minister Odagiri does not abuse his power for personal gain or deceive his superiors, the truth of this incident will come to light.

On the other hand, he also needs to improve Hakuba Saguru's favorability!

Given the current situation, Kaito Kid is unlikely to make an appearance, and his favorability rating will remain at 16. Meanwhile, the only character who hasn't appeared yet is Shuichi Akai…

Oh ho ho, he's even taken over someone else's ex-girlfriend now, and he's still hoping to win her favor?

If it's not negative, we should be thankful.

So, rounding up, he can squeeze nearly 300 points out of the three sheep in front of him: Conan, Amuro Tooru, and Hakuba Saguru.

On average, everyone scored 95 points.

In other words, if these three were girls, Yoruichi Toyama would have to build a harem, and they would all be devoted to him to the death, the kind of couple who would follow him in his suicide by burning themselves.

That's way too difficult.

As for simply not doing any missions and just staying in this world to live a quiet life with Akemi, Yoruichi Toyama had considered it.

If that's the case, without taking down the brewery, Akemi and Ai will continue to face danger, even the threat of death.

However, Yoruichi Toyama alone certainly couldn't accomplish such a difficult task as "taking down the brewery."

Moreover, what should have been a typical otome romance isekai story was turned into an RPG-style isekai story involving leveling up, or rather, not leveling up.

Something just doesn't feel right.

Since both missions were stressful, Yoruichi Toyama decided to just take it easy and do whatever came her way.

So he agreed to Hakuba Saguru's request and went to the Metropolitan Police Department to discuss a plan with the officer currently in charge of the case.

Upon hearing about the request, Akemi immediately said she would go along as well.

However, instead of going to the Metropolitan Police Department, they went to visit Ran, whom they had met once before and who was also an important witness in the case.

"Girls are always easier to communicate with," she said.

Yoruichi Toyama agreed with this.

But when the two decided to set off, Ai, who had been forced to keep her head down and do her first-grade homework, looked over coldly with her arms crossed.

"Are you just going to leave your little sister here all alone like this?"

"I was just genuinely kidnapped."

Even though she knew she was deliberately making things difficult for her, Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but chuckle.

Then he reached out and poked the little cherry blossom hair he had styled for her.

The female PhD student with her two tufts of hair sticking out is much more interesting than her previous short, ear-length hair.

"Actually, I think if you could do it all over again, you would probably still feel that the 'kidnapping' time was a bit short, and you didn't get to catch up with someone properly."

Yoruichi Toyama complained and surrendered before the female PhD student could retaliate.

"Well, let Kotaro and Pengzhi keep you company at the store."

"Besides, we're just visiting briefly and will be back tonight."

"I don't care!" Ai stood with her hands on her hips, looking completely unreasonable. "I've finished my homework."

"If I stay in the shop, I won't be able to make tea or coffee, and I won't be able to serve customers."

"They could even be kidnapped!"

"...I'm going!"

"Go! Go, go, go!" Yoruichi Toyama was completely at a loss and agreed repeatedly.

She thought to herself that Shiho-san was so childish and willful in front of her older sister.

It's really...delightful...in every sense of the word.

...

This wasn't Yoruichi Toyama's first visit to the Metropolitan Police Department building or the First Investigation Division's office.

However, perhaps because Hakuba Saguru was with him this time, the atmosphere felt very different from before as soon as he entered the room.

As I walked down the long corridor, I could feel the gazes of people who seemed to be just passing by, quietly following me.

Only after knocking on the section chief's cubicle did I understand the origin of that gaze.

It wasn't just Section Chief Yukita sitting in the room.

"This is Chief Detective Odagiri." After waving to the elders, Hakuba Saguru took the initiative to introduce them.

The dignified, thin middle-aged man on the sofa stood up and extended his hand to Yoruichi Toyama.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, but I've already heard about Mr. Toyama's deeds from them."

"The First Investigation Division has always received a lot of help from Mr. Toyama."

"You're too kind."

Yoruichi Toyama feels embarrassed when others express genuine gratitude, but she is completely unmoved by polite words.

As for the fact that the other party is a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department, well, he's not even in the same system as him, so what is he afraid of?

Department Head Odagiri showed considerable admiration for Yoruichi Toyama's composure.

"By the way, where is your partner, Ms. Lin?"

"She went to visit Ran... who is Mr. Mori's daughter."

Yoruichi Toyama thought to himself, if a bank robber caught in the act and a drug manufacturer who had worked for a criminal organization for a long time were to openly stroll around the Metropolitan Police Department, not to mention Chief Odagiri, even Superintendent General Hakuba would be slapped in the face.

Department Head Odagiri nodded and said nothing more.
