Chapter 68 I hate detectives so much!

Chapter 68

The cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji are beautiful. Although this is not my first time here, it is my first time to come here completely for relaxation.

It was a rare fine day. Standing beneath the cherry blossoms, I felt the gentle breeze caress my face. In that instant, countless petals fell upon Kurokawa Kaoru. Quietly gazing at the pink world before him, his expression shifted slightly, his restless heart finally calming.

He bought two bottles of water from a mobile stall, unscrewed the cap of one of the bottles and handed it to Kurokawa Kaoru. Seeing the smile on his face, Miya You lowered his eyes and also smiled.

"When I was little, my mother once told me that sakura mochi were actually made of cherry blossoms."

"Where can you get so many cherry blossoms to make sakura cakes?"

Glancing at him with amusement, Kurokawa Kaoru raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but jokingly said, "If it were really made of cherry blossoms, the cherry blossoms in Japan would have disappeared long ago, and we wouldn't have come to Mount Fuji just to see them."

Didn’t he find out about that later?

He glared at the other person unhappily, and for some reason, Gong You's face turned red when he was met with the other person's gaze.

What on earth is this bastard Kurokawa trying to do by smiling so beautifully for no reason? For the first time, he clearly understood what the girls at school were talking about as "demonstrously charming." Looking at the boy in front of him, for a moment, this thought flashed through Gong You's mind.

It turns out that Kurokawa is really good-looking.

Come to think of it, this was the first time Miyagi had actually hung out with Kurokawa Kaoru. Before, it was either a duel with detectives or a game of mafia sparring. Whenever Miyagi thought about it, he felt his mentality was incredibly good.

"Speaking of which..."

While he was thinking about something, Kurokawa Kaoru suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about the future?"

Later? Gong You raised his eyebrows and spoke without thinking, "As for me, whether it's ten or twenty years from now, I'll probably still be playing volleyball."

"That's an answer you could give."

Having long known how much Miya Yuu loved volleyball, and having witnessed her performance on the court, Kurokawa Kaoru wasn't surprised by Miya Yuu's answer. Instead, he felt a sense of relief, having known this all along. "If you can become the best volleyball player in the world, I'll watch every one of your games."

“What’s the point of just watching the game?”

Gong You complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm already the world's top volleyball player, but I don't even deserve a bouquet of flowers?"

Kurokawa Kaoru was somewhat helpless: "After the game, do I have to find a place to treat you to a meal?"

"Of course."

Hearing what Kurokawa Kaoru said, Gong You nodded as a matter of course: "You should feel honored to be able to have dinner with Gong You."

Honored? Kurokawa Kaoru's shoulders trembled, and he had to suppress the smile in his heart so as not to laugh out loud.

"Since our contestant Gong You has said so, it seems that I should really feel honored."

"...Kurokawa, are you laughing at me?"

Kurokawa Kaoru blinked his eyes: "So you found out?"

Gong You: ...

That's too much! He says he'll break up with people for a minute!

Completely unaware that she had been unilaterally cut off by Gong You, Kurokawa Kaoru closed her eyes as she bathed in the magnificent cherry blossom shower, feeling the entire world go quiet. Meanwhile, Gong You, in a fit of rage, hadn't spoken to anyone for a full minute.

Gong You was a little angry when he found that the other party had no intention of reconciling with him. He turned around and was about to question the other party, but when he looked up, he saw Kurokawa Kaoru under the tree.

“…”

Oops, I seem to be distracted again.

In just a short while, this was the second time that he was amazed by Kurokawa Kaoru's appearance. He patted his face to calm down. Looking at Kurokawa Kaoru in front of him, Miya You opened his mouth, having forgotten what he wanted to say to her.

Looking at it this way, Kurokawa's eyelashes are really long, Gong You thought to himself.

We were living together and even sleeping in the same bed, but we only discovered this now.

As if he had discovered something interesting, Miya You took two steps forward and observed Kurokawa Kaoru's facial features curiously.

Her eyebrows were the width of willow leaves, making them look no different from him. Her nose was small, but exceptionally upturned, and below it were perfectly shaped lips that looked so soft that he wanted to poke them to see if they were really that soft.

Then there were those eyes, a beautiful gray-brown color that always calmed him down. Overall, judging by her facial features alone, it seemed like there wasn't a single flaw to be found.

Just as he was thinking this, Kurokawa Kaoru, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Miyagi You's figure was clearly reflected in the gray-brown lake. Being met by someone's gaze, Miyagi You's expression froze, and he froze in place for a moment.

After a while, as if he finally reacted, he walked towards a bench not far away with the others. Gong You took a deep breath and said, "Don't just talk about me. What does Kurokawa think about the future?"

"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

My future self? Kurokawa Kaoru's expression shifted slightly.

Is my future self really still alive?

Without a way to confirm the time, Kurokawa Kaoru didn't really want to think. But when he looked at Gong You, the words on his lips changed to something else: "First, get into university. Maybe I'll find a major I like there. Right now, I don't have a clear idea."

"After all, Kurokawa has good grades. Even if he wants to change his major after he gets admitted to university, it should be easy."

"Change major..."

"Are you trying to say it's troublesome again?"

"I wasn't wrong."

"Since you don't want to go through so much trouble, then think about it carefully during high school. Maybe when we graduate, we'll have an idea of what we like."

Seeing the man's tangled frown, Gong You was successfully amused by his expression. He smiled and shook his head, saying helplessly: "If there is really nothing you want to do, then wait until I become the world's top volleyball player and become my investor. You can't even find it troublesome to spend money, right?"

Is there such an option?

This is what Kurokawa Kaoru's expression means.

He could tell immediately that the other party was attracted by his proposal and was even considering its feasibility. For a moment, Miya Yuu didn't know whether to lament that his future would be tied to Kurokawa Kaoru, or to feel sympathy for the fact that such a large mafia family like the Kurokawa family was willing to invest its money in volleyball players.

If you think about it carefully, it turns out that the Kurokawa family, whose "reputation is about to be damaged", is more miserable.

I don’t know if God felt Miyaji’s obsession far away in Inarizaki, and actually asked them to find a restaurant selling rice balls. They asked the owner to make six rice balls, four of which they took back to Miyaji and the Miya couple, and the other two were taken care of by the two of them.

The restaurant that made rice balls was very small. He randomly chose a seat and sat down. Watching the boss walking around in the kitchen, Kurokawa Kaoru squinted his eyes and inexplicably felt sleepy.

Just at this moment, another person walked in. Not paying attention to Kurokawa Kaoru who was sitting in the corner, the man in black tights and jeans, with a very ordinary backpack on his back, took two steps forward and finally stopped at the kitchen door.

"Two rice balls, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Hearing the sound coming from the kitchen, Kurokawa Kaoru yawned and looked over there lazily——

Wow, he thought to himself.

This kind of person, who you can tell is thinking some bad things in his mind, but gives people a feeling of being timid and fearful, and will most likely end up failing for various reasons, why does he live in this world?

At the same time, Gong You beside him also saw that person, and his expression looked a little surprised.

"That person..."

"It always feels a little suspicious."

A voice came from behind him, seemingly out of nowhere.

"That's what I thought."

Gong You nodded.

Wait a moment--

His body froze, and a terrible thought came to his mind.

That voice just now...could it be?

Almost at the same time, Miya Yu and Kurokawa Kaoru turned around and asked questions from the bottom of their hearts.

"Why are you two here too?"

Behind them, two detectives, one who was supposed to be in Beika-cho and the other in Osaka, were trying to use Kurokawa Kaoru and Miya Yuu as their "cover" in a very strange... posture that looked like a kangaroo taking care of a child.

The cherry blossoms outside were still blooming wantonly. Should he accept his fate or just give up? Kurokawa Kaoru sighed, a sound only he and Miya Yu could hear, and said quietly, "Looks like we can't continue to enjoy the cherry blossoms."

It seems that I can’t continue to see the cherry blossoms.

I can’t continue to see the cherry blossoms.

I can't continue to watch the cherry blossoms.

I can continue to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Continue to watch the cherry blossoms.

See the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms.

it took.

.

Those few words hit him like a hammer. From a young age, Miya Yuu had supported Hattori Heiji's desire to become a detective. Because they were close cousins, Miya Yuu had a certain bias towards the detective profession.

But when he saw the regret on Kurokawa Kaoru's face, for the first time in his life, Miya You felt from the bottom of his heart... As a group of detectives, they are sometimes really annoying.

TBC.
