Hagiwara Kenji looked away and laughed as he recounted a childhood memory:

"When Zhenping was little, he often came to my family's auto repair shop and took things apart and modified them without permission. He was always scolded by my dad!"

"I just want to change the Porsche to have gull-wing doors, which would be cooler." Matsuda Jinpei stared with half-moon eyes, not thinking that there was anything wrong with his aesthetic taste.

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. It would be strange if they didn't get scolded. If they failed, the loss would be huge.

"Later on, he not only worked on cars, but also on bombs."

"Yeah, I can roughly understand what the structure is just by looking at it. Humph, pretty impressive, right?" When Jinpei Matsuda talked about the part he was good at, his face was full of confidence. He really had the capital to brag.

Suddenly, Rei Furuya remembered that Hagiwara Kenji was always lazy and asked curiously:

"Hey, Hagiwara, what made you want to be a police officer? Usually, sons follow in their father's footsteps. I see you're interested in cars, too."

"I really like tinkering with machinery, but my family's auto repair shop happened to open a branch during Japan's economic bubble, which led to a downturn in business. Eventually, my father had no choice but to close it down."

Hagiwara Kenji paused here deliberately, smiled and winked as if jokingly, and said:

"But the police are different. They certainly won't go bankrupt, right?"

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

"Bankruptcy is definitely not going to happen."

Fujiwara Yuu never thought that this was the reason why Hagiwara Kenji became a police officer, but for some reason, it seemed to fit Hagiwara's personality. Even though he said this on the surface, he probably really liked the police profession.

"Hey! Only one lap left, stop dawdling and speed up! Matsuda, stop whispering and run!"

Hearing Instructor Onitsuka's voice, Matsuda Jinpei pouted unhappily and said:

"Why did this foreign guy pick on me and criticize me? You guys are obviously talking more!"

"Who knows? Maybe he's the most disobedient person on a normal day."

"Nonsense!"

“Hahahahahahahaha——”
