Although it was a kind gesture, Guangyou politely declined, saying, "No need for that. We just finished eating hamburgers and aren't hungry at all."

"All right."

Miwako didn't dwell on the issue. She crouched down and whispered in Kōyū's ear, "Thank you for helping me solve the case earlier."

She could see that Takagi had changed a little. Compared to before, Takagi now exuded a confidence that he hadn't had before.

Although it's not that obvious, it's better than nothing.

Guangyou also replied softly, "It's nothing, just something I did along the way."

At that moment, a phone rang suddenly on the field, followed by Takagi's voice.

"Inspector, the case here is completely closed."

"Brother Takagi, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Inspector Megure's slightly pleased voice came through the microphone, "I originally wanted to call and check on you, but since you're doing so well, I won't disturb your vacation any longer. I'll hang up now."

After hanging up Inspector Megure's call, Takagi breathed a sigh of relief once again, worried that his hard-earned vacation would be ruined again.

Thankfully, Inspector Megure didn't make him end his vacation early, or he would have been devastated.

"Miwako-neechan, we'll be going now."

Kōyū didn't want to stay there any longer, firstly because he had plans for the afternoon, and secondly because he didn't want to be a third wheel between Takagi and Miwako.

Miwako nodded, her tone full of concern, and said, "Yes, please be careful when you're out having fun. Call me if anything happens."

"OK."

After responding, Kōyū led Ai toward the next location.
