Chapter 21
Seeing that even Kenji Hagiwara's smile had become forced, Saiki Usuba had a change of heart.
"I was just kidding."
Hagihara Kenji: "…………"
You deadpan comedian?!
The system exploded too: [What a joke! You're Han Chuan Shen Liu now! Can't you just be a quiet, composed man?!]
There's no way around it; someone as lively and cheerful as me, always bringing laughter and joy, has reached my limit by not saying much for so many days.
system:【……? ? ? 】
A cheerful and lively person... Don't you feel guilty describing yourself like that? You're the only one who's happy, aren't you?!
As if sensing the system's suffocation, Bo Yezaki confidently stated: "Stay calm, don't panic, we can do it. I think I'm pretty quiet and composed."
【……hehe. 】
The Suspicion System was desperate. It felt that the undercover system should never have signed a contract with a guy who had such terrible acting skills and no professional conduct.
Wouldn't it be better to sign a Best Actor award winner?
If it had hair, it would probably be bald by now.
As it turns out, the system was indeed a bit too anxious, and Usakata Saiki still had a better grasp of the bottom line.
It was just a joke, and Kenji Hagiwara, speechless for a moment, accepted the premise.
After all, Kenji Hagiwara had previously felt that Shinryu Samikawa not only had an excessively clear self-awareness, but was also very easygoing. He had even mentioned last time that sending cookies would be mistaken for poisoning the police academy…
However, while Kenji Hagiwara might laugh at someone else for making fun of himself, he often finds it too much of a joke to laugh at Shinryu Samikawa.
But wouldn't some people feel that the joking Shinryu Hanchuan gives off a more approachable vibe?
As Kenji Hagiwara thought this, he quietly glanced at the people around him.
He had always known that these people didn't dare to speak to Han Chuan Shenliu, but they had been secretly watching him. Those who were close by must have heard what was said just now.
Kenji Hagiwara glanced at it and knew he was overthinking it.
These people had forgotten to act nonchalant; they were probably too engrossed in their thoughts, their expressions growing increasingly serious. It was obvious they were trying to figure out whether Han Chuan Shenliu was genuinely joking or testing something.
Hagihara Kenji: "…………"
It's hopeless... No, there's hope!
If someone encounters danger like him and is saved by Hanchuan Shenliu, this prejudice can probably be broken.
Even without actually encountering danger, just trouble, there might be opportunities for good collaboration in future team projects.
Thinking of this, Kenji Hagiwara relaxed a little.
If you know you can't rush it, then don't rush it.
Seeing that the students around him had already quietly sped up their meals and left with their trays, Kenji Hagiwara didn't mince words and asked directly, "It's almost the weekend, what are your plans? Do you need to submit an application form?"
Police academy regulations stipulate closed training during the training period, and even mobile phones must be handed in, but on weekends, students can pick up their phones and apply to go out to relax or have some fun.
Usoba Saiki was racking up points at the police academy, but he was really getting restless and desperately needed an outlet. So he answered decisively, "I'm applying to leave the academy."
The reasons for leaving school are generally acceptable, unless it's like the five troublemakers in Rei Furuya's class, the instructors usually don't care too much.
However, when Usui went to submit his application, Instructor Onizuka looked at the reason for the application and gave him the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
"...to allow students who wish to stay on campus to apply for weekend leave without worry..."
After reading the line, Instructor Onizuka was speechless for a moment.
Well, it seems that Hanchuan Shenliu really cares about everyone's mental health! It's a little heartbreaking that he himself has such a clear understanding of this.
Usoya Saiki asked calmly, "Is that alright?"
"...Okay!" Since they'd already said that much, what else could Instructor Onizuka do?
As he brought over the box containing the cell phones and let Bo Yezai take back his phone, he reminded him, "Although you are still in training, you are already a police officer in essence. Don't forget your identity when you are out and about."
"Please rest assured." When speaking as Hanchuan Shenliu, Bo Yezai always spoke politely, presenting an image of someone who wanted to be a good person. "I know what to do."
Usakabe returned to his dormitory, put the phone he had just retrieved aside, and took out another phone to turn it on.
Just like a few days ago, the phone was clean and tidy. No one contacted him, and there wasn't even a single advertisement in his email.
Usoppei found Vodka's email address and sent an email asking when he would return the music box he had forgotten in the safe house.
Although the people at the brewery seemed unwilling to see him and pretended he didn't exist, Lord Bo Yezhai was magnanimous and didn't hold it against them. He would still take the initiative to maintain a relationship with them!
A little while later, Vodka called back directly.
Bo Yezaki turned off the "shadow aura," cleared his throat, adjusted his voice back to his normal tone, and answered the phone: "Hello?"
Recognizing Usakata Saiki's voice, Vodka asked, "Where are you now?"
"Tokyo."
"That's perfect. I've entrusted your music box to Amuro Tooru for safekeeping. He's in Tokyo these days, so you can just ask him for it."
Vodka has certainly learned his lesson.
Why should Bo Yezaki have to accept him just because he's told to? There are so many useful newcomers, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of them and squeeze them dry?
Usakabe Saiki sensed Vodka's evasiveness, raised an eyebrow, and opened a map to search: "Where are you now? Aren't you in Tokyo?"
“Not here.” Vodka replied firmly.
Usakabe Saiki looked at the vodka label near Tokyo Tower, paused for a moment, and then pretended to believe it: "Okay, then I'll go find Amuro Tooru... By the way, it's been so long since we last met, how about we get together?"
"I'm on a mission!"
"Is Gin free?"
Vodka replied firmly, "My brother is with me, and he's too busy." To make his point, he added, "You don't know, there's a traitor in the organization. My brother is currently investigating the rats and has no time to play around with you! If you can't help, don't come and cause trouble."
"How can I not be of any help? You won't let me help, so you just say I can't help. Aren't you underestimating me?"
Unsatisfied, Bo Yezhai asked, "Where did the rats come from?"
“Yes, this guy’s name is Sakata Jiro.” This wasn’t exactly classified information, so Vodka answered directly. “Speaking of which, you really know how to gather intelligence… Here, if you have any information, just send me a copy.”
Bo Yezhai chuckled twice: "Alright, if I can help, I definitely will."
He was clearly in Tokyo, but he lied and said he wasn't there. If we don't teach Vodka a lesson, he's not worthy of the name Usaku Saiki!
He had been suffering a lot at the police academy, but now he suddenly felt energized and decided to let loose.
Soon after, Usakabe Saiki left the police academy, found a place to switch back to his original self, and then kept staring at the vodka and gin tags on the navigation in his apartment.
Then he discovered that the labels for these two people seemed to be moving closer to those of Rei Furuya.
The location where Rei Furuya was standing was a karaoke room.
It seems these three are going to meet at the karaoke bar to exchange information or something.
Without hesitation, Bo Yezaki got up and started changing his clothes, preparing to give his colleagues a surprise.
Although the system wasn't entirely satisfied with this host, it still tried its best to help him accumulate suspicion points: "[Wear that wool sweater that your boss's biggest worry is. It'll be too hot to wear it now.]"
What you said makes sense.
For once, Usoya Saiki obediently agreed to the system's suggestion.
In this weather, you can wear a wool sweater and no longer need to wear a haori like last time. Just turn your back and you can see the words "Great Calamity" on your back, which will steadily stimulate Gin's nerves.
However, if Usakabe Saiki were to simply appear quietly in a karaoke room, then it wouldn't be him.
He hailed a taxi, kept an eye on the roadside, and only called Vodka when he was almost there.
"Vodka, you said you and Gin aren't in Tokyo, right?"
Vodka was exasperated: "I told you I wasn't here, why are you asking this again?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw Gin's car and thought you guys were back. Since you're still out of town, I must have been mistaken. I'll hang up now."
"Wait, don't hang up yet!!!" Vodka had a bad feeling. "Where are you now?"
"Me? I'm in Tokyo."
"No, I'm asking you which road you're on and where you're going."
"I'm going to a karaoke bar to sing, is that okay?"
Vodka: "…………"
—This is a huge problem!!! Could it be that the karaoke bar that Usakata Saiki is going to is the same one they're going to?! What kind of luck is this?!
