Just as Takagi was engaged in a fierce internal struggle, Inspector Megure's chubby figure appeared, holding a large megaphone and wearing a smile:

"Everyone! Quiet down! I have some good news to announce!"

The busy police officers paused their work and looked over.

"The Suzuki Group," Inspector Megure's voice boomed, "and a kind-hearted colleague, Hanyu Nanasu, understanding everyone's hard work today, specially prepared a Valentine's Day gift package for all colleagues on duty! It has already been delivered to each department, and everyone can pick it up during their shifts; everyone gets one!"

"Wow!!!"

"Fantastic! Suzuki Group is the best!"

"Who is Yuzuru Hanyu? He's practically an angel! May he live a long and peaceful life!"

"Finally, it feels like a holiday!"

A small cheer immediately erupted from the crowd.

Receiving an unexpected gift, especially from a top conglomerate, during such a busy and hectic holiday always brings extra joy and a sense of being remembered by society.

Moreover, the Suzuki Group is known for its generosity, so these are probably not ordinary cookies or candies.

Suzuki Group has been doing a lot of things lately, such as distributing gifts and showing appreciation to frontline workers during holidays, from police officers and firefighters to hospitals and schools. Their reputation among the public is booming, a stark contrast to the aloof image of other conglomerates. They are a breath of fresh air and have won over a lot of public support.

All that's missing is a shout and they'll rise up in rebellion.

Miyamoto Yumi's eyes lit up, and she excitedly nudged Sato Miwako next to her with her elbow: "Miwako, is the Hanyu classmate that Inspector Megure mentioned named Hanyu Kusunoki? Last time, he represented the Suzuki Group and sponsored a batch of new equipment for our traffic department, and he even sponsored me a brand new Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa! I haven't had a chance to thank him in person yet!"

She treasured that monster motorcycle immensely, polishing it until it gleamed every day.

Sato Miwako nodded: "Yes, it's him."

She was indeed very familiar with Yuzuru, after all, her boss, Inspector Megure, was always exceptionally...respectful, even a little cautious, when facing that boy.

"What does he look like? Is he handsome? How old is he?"

Yumi Miyamoto immediately became interested, her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly.

Sato Miwako recalled Hanyu Kusunoki's near-perfect face and objectively stated, "...he's the most handsome guy I've ever seen, bar none."

That kind of beauty transcends gender.

With a touch of unreal beauty, it can instantly lift your spirits and leave a lasting impression.

Yumi Miyamoto immediately let out an exaggerated sigh, cupped her face in her hands, and said dreamily, "Sigh! Handsome, rich, and generous and considerate—he's practically the perfect ideal boyfriend! I'm so envious! Owning a motorcycle is expensive; my entire monthly salary goes to gas stations and tuning shops. I'm dirt poor, and I've practically licked the gas tank clean..."

As she spoke, she nudged Sato Miwako with her elbow with a mischievous grin, winking at her:

"Miwako, you're so beautiful, have such a great figure, and are the most beautiful girl in the Metropolitan Police Department. Why don't you give it a try? Being close to the water makes it easier to get the moon! Maybe you can win over this diamond-level young master? Then I can also get some benefits and have him support my motorcycle dream? Maybe get me some nitro boost or something?"

Sato Miwako glared at her, her face slightly flushed, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why aren't you going?"

"I'd love to!"

Yumi Miyamoto looked regretful and shrugged. "It's a pity he probably wouldn't be interested in a loud, boisterous traffic cop like me who only knows how to issue tickets and speed... Hey, Miyako, why don't you give it a try? Maybe he'd like someone as gentle and cute as you, the type who blushes when she speaks?"

Miike Naeko's face instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "Yumi-senpai! Don't joke with me!"

The three beautiful policewomen immediately burst into laughter.

Sure enough, girls in private always tend to veer off-topic; even the most respectable profession can't stop a gossipy and imaginative heart.

Especially when talking about a handsome guy.

.........

The backyard of Yuzuru's house.

"All done! We're done!"

Under the willow trees by the river, a handsome and extraordinary young man finished his last set of sword moves and sheathed his sword with satisfaction.

Today's kendo practice (with some posed photos) has come to a successful end.

He really worked hard!

"Bu-i-bu-i~ (Master is the best~)"

With the phone balanced on its head, Little Ibuki leaped down from the willow tree and landed precisely in the boy's arms.

It recorded the entire process of its master practicing swordsmanship.

Yu Sheng Nan took the phone, rubbed Yingying's little head, watched the video for a while, nodded in satisfaction, then clicked save, selected the contact "Master Jinghua", and sent it.

Daily check-in task completed.

He received his master's Valentine's Day chocolates an hour ago, along with He Ye's chocolates.

Compared to the young girl's undisguised affection, her master's chocolate seemed much more mature and composed. Along with the chocolate came a short handwritten letter.

The main purpose was to remind him not to forget to practice his swordsmanship.

As the next legitimate successor of the Ikenami-ryu swordsmanship, Ikenami Shizuka had high hopes for her talented but clumsy apprentice who preferred "riding the horse and disdaining the ancestors".

"Po~"

A clear chirping sound rang out in the sky above the backyard.

Bobo descended from the sky, carrying a beautifully packaged little gift box tied with a purple ribbon in its tiny beak.

Today is Valentine's Day.

The busiest person wasn't Yuzuru Hanyu, but Bobo.

Having evolved into Pidgeotto and only one step away from becoming Pidgeot, the strongest Pokémon in the Hanyu family in terms of individual combat power, it also made a guest appearance as a gold-medal messenger today.

Not only is it responsible for flying to Osaka to collect the chocolates from Master Shizuka and Kazuha, but it also has to become a secret messenger, shuttling between Beika Town and even further afield to collect the chocolates from the "beautiful young women" and "older sisters" who are temporarily unwilling to reveal their special relationship with Hanyu Nanami to other girls.

Valentine's Day is a time of anticipation and trepidation for other guys, a time of harvest for Yuzuru Hanyu, but for Bobo... it's just pure physical labor and an experience day as an air courier.

"You've worked hard, Bobo. You're the number one hero today."

Yuzuru smiled as he took the chocolate from Bobo's mouth and patted its little head.

"Po~"

Bobo squinted comfortably and rubbed his fingers against his.

The half-human-sized Pidgey, though no longer able to snuggle into Yuzuru Hanyu's arms like before, is still a baby who loves to cuddle with its owner.

The only problem is that the force used to stick the sticker is a bit too strong, which can easily knock the delicate owner down.

Seeing the newly added chocolate on the stone table, Yuzuru's smile deepened.

Trash... Ugh!

The advantages of being a warm-hearted man were fully demonstrated on this day.

—No way, really? There can't really be someone who doesn't even receive a single chocolate on Valentine's Day, can there?
