Miwako turned to Takagi and said, "Officer Takagi, would you please treat our hero of the day to a reward?"

"this..."

Takagi wanted to say something, but seeing Kōyū frantically giving him a meaningful look, he simply nodded and replied, "No problem, I'll take care of it."

The man was finally handcuffed and taken away, looking utterly aggrieved.

Inside a restaurant in the building, Takagi and a few others sat down.

Genta hasn't been eating well these past few days, and that little bit of fries he just had wasn't enough to fill him up.

Fortunately, Takagi treated everyone to a meal, and the matter was resolved, so Genta returned to his usual cheerful self.

Takagi wasn't hungry, so he handed over the ordering to Genta and the others, and symbolically ordered a glass of juice for himself.

"You're really slow-witted. Think about it, why did Miwako-neechan ask you to treat us to dinner instead of someone else?" Kōyū whispered to Takagi, sounding exasperated.

Why...?

Looking defeated, Kōyū explained to Takagi, "Because she trusts you. It's obvious you already hold a significant place in her heart!"

"Really! That's great!" The expression of smugness that had been on Takagi's face disappears, and her cheeks are still a little flushed, though it's not very noticeable due to her skin tone.

He was initially hesitant to treat the guests, but the problem was that the chubby boy named Genta was a big eater; he could easily eat five servings of eel rice by himself.

I'm going to spend the bonus I just received in less than a month. I was planning to buy some gifts for Miwako.

That's why he was a little hesitant when he heard that he had to treat everyone, but after learning about it from Guangyou, he felt it wasn't so hard to accept.

"I'll have six servings of eel rice!" Genta said to the waiter with a smile, rubbing his belly. "I'm going to treat myself this time!"

Hearing his words, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also laughed.

Yuan Tai scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "Hehe, I was hungry."
