Those who cuckold for too long will face retribution.

Morofushi Hiromitsu was rescued in a way that completely surprised everyone and has now been transferred to a safer location by the police department. Furuya Rei was also quickly transferred, evacuating before Vermouth's people arrived. Since the space jump was in a cooldown state and the Yomi puppy was not capable of taking care of herself, Furuya Rei put her in his pocket and took her back to his apartment before leaving.

As for how the long-haired FBI agent, whose identity had already been confirmed, would explain Scotland's whereabouts to the organization, that was beyond Lai Chuan Huang Quan's consideration. However, judging from his calm demeanor, he must have already prepared an escape route.

Rei Furuya put Yomi on the bed and left. Yomi sat on her pillow, sulking for over an hour, ignoring the administrator's clumsy attempts to appease her, which only made things worse. By the time Rei returned, the night had completely fallen.

Rei Furuya had specially brought back a serving of stewed beef from outside, as a gift for Yomi Laichuan. He glanced at the little dumpling sitting on the bed, kicking its legs in anger, and opened the box full of beef. The aroma of beef, soaked in broth, instantly filled the room. Rei Furuya poked Yomi Laichuan's back with his finger: "Want some beef?"

Lai Chuan Huang Quan was so angry that even beef couldn't appease her, but she still puffed out her cheeks and crawled into Furuya Rei's palm, where he picked her up and placed her on the table.

A large chunk of beef brisket was piled high in a white porcelain bowl, and Raikawa Yomi was eating with relish while leaning over the edge of the bowl. Furuya Rei suddenly spoke up: "Thank you this time."

His voice was slightly hoarse, as if it were soaked by rain and carried a heavy weight.

Lai Chuan Huang Quan paused in his act of gnawing on beef, and looked thoughtfully at Furuya Rei.

Rei Furuya rested his chin on his hand as he looked at Yomi Yorikawa, but his gaze was blank, his thoughts drifting to an unseen distance.

Just a hair's breadth away, and a blood-red flower would bloom on Morofushi Kagemitsu's chest, time forever frozen at the moment the gun was fired.

If he hadn't rushed there, Morofushi Kagemitsu wouldn't have chosen to shoot himself to protect his comrades; and if Yorikawa Yomi hadn't been there, the bullet would have pierced Morofushi Kagemitsu's chest.

As humans face death, hearing is the last sense to disappear. If the bullet had successfully pierced his chest, in his dying moments, if Morofushi Kagemitsu heard Furuya Rei's voice, would he regret committing suicide, or would he breathe a sigh of relief for the security of the intelligence?

Rei Furuya doesn't know.

But he knew he would never forgive himself.

If the bullet truly pierced Morofushi Kagemitsu's chest... then Furuya Rei was one of the factors that led to Morofushi Kagemitsu's death. Because Furuya Rei rushed to the rescue, the hurried footsteps alerted Morofushi Kagemitsu, causing him to disregard his last chance to turn the tide and choose to fire.

The right choice, the wrong result.

It was the lightness of being that Furuya Rei could hardly bear, yet had to grit his teeth and swallow. Like shards of glass, cutting through his throat, leaving him a bloody mess.

Lai Chuan Huang Quan looked up at Furuya Rei, remained silent for a moment, then stood up, cupped his hand in her hair, and vigorously rubbed it against him.

"Awoo~ Awoo~!"

"Um?"

Pulled from his chaotic thoughts, Rei Furuya looked down at the little Yomi puppy clinging to his hand and whining, "Are you... trying to comfort me?"

Yomi Laichuan couldn't answer; she just let out a soft howl and wagged her tail, signaling to Rei Furuya to pet her.

Rei Furuya sighed and gave a faint smile. He scratched Yomi's head with his fingers, his fingertips sliding down her back.

In some European and American countries, there is a treatment method called animal therapy for patients with mental illnesses, which involves allowing patients to spend time with trained dogs to alleviate their psychological state. Furuya Rei slowly stroked Yomi Laichuan again and again; the chest, which felt like it was being suffocated by a plastic film, finally had an opening, allowing fresh air to rush in and easing his restless emotions.

His furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he said softly, "Thank you."

...

When Kenji Hagiwara returned home from work, he found that Yomi Yorikawa was nowhere to be found. After searching the room thoroughly, he quickly concluded that Hiromitsu Morofushi was in danger.

The process of arriving at this conclusion is very simple.

If Yomi Laichuan had regained her human form, she would have carried her cell phone even if she had been teleported away. There were no signs of the doors or windows being forcibly opened, and no signs of a struggle in the room, meaning there were no intruders.

In her puppy form, Yomi Laichuan couldn't even take care of herself. Even so, the administrator still decided to send her away, presumably because she was in a very dangerous situation.

Matsuda Jinpei spent the entire day with Hagiwara Kenji, so it couldn't have been him who was in danger. Class leader Date Wataru's cause of death was a car accident; if he had known beforehand and been more careful on the day of the accident, he could have avoided death.

That leaves only Morofushi Kagemitsu.

However, Kenji Hagiwara did not completely rule out the possibility that Rei Furuya might be in danger due to the butterfly effect.

Just as Kenji Hagiwara had deduced, the next morning, Yomi Laichuan, who had regained her human form, went home on her own initiative. As soon as she knocked on the door, she threw herself into Kenji Hagiwara's arms for a kiss, and took the opportunity to complain to him, listing all the evil deeds of the administrator.

"You have no idea how stunned I was when I used my flesh to block the muzzle of the gun. I never want to talk to that stinky old man again!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she received a call from Mr. Lai Chuan from this world.

"You brat!"

From the other end of the phone, Mr. Lai Chuan said through gritted teeth, "Where did you put the mattress and pillows in the house! And my coffee machine too!"

Mr. Raikawa was furious. He had been working non-stop at the police station for several days and finally got a break. As soon as he got home, his maid told him that Raikawa Yomi had taken away the coffee machine he had bought for 100,000 yen.

Mr. Raikawa: ...?

He hurriedly checked the room and instantly became furious. Look at this little girl he raised, she's siding with outsiders, she's practically emptied the bedroom.

If she had received this call at a different time, Lai Chuan Huang Quan might have felt guilty and remained silent, or perhaps tried to gag herself and cover it up. But she was currently furious, and being questioned by Mr. Lai Chuan with a stern face only made her angrier: "How dare you yell at me! Am I not your little darling anymore?!"

Yomi Laichuan roared like a little lion with its mane standing on end. Mr. Laichuan was stunned by the roar and forgot all the lines of questioning he had prepared.

Lai Chuan Huang Quan grinned at the person on the other end of the phone: "If you keep being aggressive, believe me, I'll run away from home!!"

Mr. Raikawa: "..."

Mr. Lai Chuan: "...Is there any difference between what you're doing now and running away from home?"

Mr. Lai Chuan's words made perfect sense. Lai Chuan Huang Quan was stumped for a while before he finally managed to argue, "I asked for your opinion before I moved my things, and you agreed!"

Lai Chuan Huang Quan spoke with such confidence that even Mr. Lai Chuan began to lose his self-assurance. He silently took the phone away from his ear, carefully checked his email and Line accounts, and only after confirming that he hadn't received any messages from Lai Chuan Huang Quan did he frown and retort sharply: "When did you ask me that!"

Lai Chuan Huang Quan: "I did ask! It's just that the timeline is wrong."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Kenji Hagiwara quickly took the phone from Yomi Laichuan's hand, calmed the sulking Mr. Laichuan on the other end of the line, and then turned around to coax Yomi Laichuan, who was sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed and was already furious, thus ending this nonsensical war.

There are some things that only Kenji Hagiwara can do.

If Yomi's boyfriend were another ace in the Mobile Unit, and the two Yomi, one big and one small, started arguing face-to-face, Matsuda Jinpei would probably be so overwhelmed that he'd want to take Yomi and disappear on the spot.

The matter of Morofushi Kagemitsu has come to a temporary end. In order to ensure the personal safety of him and those around him, the National Police Agency has so far completely prohibited unrelated persons from visiting Morofushi Kagemitsu.

In other words, apart from Furuya Rei, no one can see Morofushi Kagemitsu.

However, having shed all his duties, Morofushi Kagemitsu was finally able to be himself again. Aside from being confined to a room of about ten square meters and unable to move around freely, Morofushi Kagemitsu had plenty of time to do what he wanted.

Those police academy elites were elites wherever they went—within the Ministry of Public Security, within the organization. Even now, with his freedom restricted, Morofushi Hiromitsu remains an elite.

He gets up at six o'clock every day to exercise for two hours to ensure his body is always in top condition. Afterwards, he chats with Lai Chuan Huang Quan via Line, reads and studies, plays the guitar for a while, and continues to exercise.

As the only unemployed person at the time, Lai Chuan Huang Quan was treated like a treasure by several old professors after entering the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tokyo. They wished they could stuff all the knowledge into her mouth.

Mechanical engineering books and coursework piled high on the desk, taller than Yomi Yosemite. The little girl, praised as a once-in-a-century genius following in the footsteps of Matsuda and Hagiwara, pouted as the dean gave her a stern lecture, leaving her no chance to slack off.

—[Ugh, Mr. Hikaru, the professor assigned so much homework again today! I'm going to die! (Photo) (Photo)]

—[There are indeed many. It seems the professors have high hopes for you, Raikawa.]

—[I don't feel happy at all...]

Since Morofushi Kagemitsu was secretly placed under protection, his relationship with Yomi Yorikawa has rapidly improved.

There's no way around it; Lai Chuan Huang Quan is a natural chatterbox. But there aren't many people who can keep her company while she talks.

Because of Furuya Rei's special status, Yomi Raikawa never chatted with him casually. Date Wataru wouldn't be transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a few more days, and he and Yomi Raikawa were only acquaintances at the moment.

As for those two snipers from the Mobile Unit... for some reason, cases in Beika Ward have been increasing, and they often disappear from their phones halfway through a conversation due to an unexpected mission.

Over time, Morofushi Kagemitsu became the perfect listener for her chatter. Not only did he have plenty of free time, but he was also gentle. More importantly, like Hagiwara Kenji, Morofushi Kagemitsu had high emotional intelligence, and chatting with him always made Yomi Laichuan feel like she was basking in a spring breeze.

A few weeks later, when Yomi Yorikawa passed the audition of Nikko TV and made his television debut, Morofushi Kagemitsu asked Kazami Yuya to send him a super gift—a super luxurious sashimi set for five people.

—[Thank you, Mr. Hikaru! I absolutely love the photo!]

—[If you like it, that's fine.]

Lai Chuan Huang Quan was so excited that she clenched her fists and kept taking pictures and posting them on Twitter to show off, while her boyfriend next to her rested his chin on his hand, looking incredibly envious.

Kenji Hagiwara clicked his tongue, took Yomi Laichuan's phone, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Soft bread..."

Kenji Hagiwara pulled Yomi Laichuan onto his lap, then buried his face in her neck. Her long hair brushed against her skin, and her warm breath seeped into her clothes, like a wicked flame being ignited.

"What's wrong?"

Kenji Hagiwara said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not happy."

"Um?"

His straight nose gently brushed against the skin on the side of his neck. He opened his mouth and took a light bite, his tongue tracing over the smooth skin: "You've been getting quite close to Xiao Zhufu lately."

The wet, itchy sensation made Lai Chuan Huang Quan subconsciously shrink back: "I can't help it, I'm so busy in my second year of graduate school, so I had to chat with Mr. Guang."

Upon hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara said nothing more, but simply hugged Yomi Yorikawa tightly.

The spacious and quiet room was filled only with the sound of breathing. After sitting on Hagiwara Kenji's lap for a while, feeling a little bored, Raikawa Yomi twisted her body and stretched out her hand, trying to grab the phone that Hagiwara had taken earlier.

She kept twisting and turning, but Kenji Hagiwara let out a muffled groan and suddenly tensed up. The hand gripping Yomi's waist tightened, stopping her from twisting.

An invisible flame ignited in the air, making their nerves crackle. Kenji Hagiwara looked up from Yomi Yoru's neck, his purple eyes as captivating and bright as the moon over the sea through a thin mist.

A hand that had been around her slender waist moved upwards, now encircling Yomi Lai's back, preventing her from escaping. The scent of eucalyptus mixed with a faint orange fragrance, a unique aroma belonging to Kenji Hagiwara, enveloped her completely.

His jawline tightened, his sexy Adam's apple bobbed, and Hagiwara Kenji stared intently at Raikawa Yomi, his eyes filled with her image. He affectionately rubbed his nose against hers and said in a hoarse voice, "Softie, can you kiss me?"

Their lips touched.

It got out of control.

The sofa was soft, and the bathtub water was warm.

It took a long time, and I was very tired.

Jingguang: (Innocent smile) Oh? Are you jealous?

Second year of graduate school: Are you really not getting revenge for me forcibly cheating on you?
