Subaru Okiya's life has been very regular lately.
Of course, he was a very disciplined person, and he never stopped doing the physical fitness and simulated shooting training he was supposed to do, even during the two years he was undercover at the distillery.
That's why he and Gin, that workaholic, have a lot in common.
If it weren't for their differing stances, Subaru Okiya would sometimes think that he might be able to become friends with Gin.
At least we can smoke together, and neither of us will look down on the other.
As for Akemi's current boyfriend, Yoruichi Toyama, he's simply...
If we say that we and Gin are on different paths and cannot work together.
Subaru Okiya felt that even if he and Yoruichi Toyama shared the same ideals, they could not work together.
Can you believe this guy's coffee shop is non-smoking?
According to him, it was because some of the coffee shop's regular customers were minors, and he wanted to create a good environment for their growth.
When I was studying in the United States, I even tried marijuana, but I didn't become addicted or experience any adverse effects.
Subaru Okiya thought to himself with considerable disdain.
Isn't this something that relies on personal willpower?
Who cares if someone who is easily tempted goes astray goes to die?
I always felt that Yoruichi Toyama, the detective, had more worries than the police.
sentimental.
Furthermore, it's astonishing that a grown man like him can even cook.
The dishes I made were simple and home-style, but they were really delicious.
It's clear he doesn't have any grand ambitions.
Despite his thoughts, since Subaru Okiya had said he wanted to become an apprentice, he still appeared in the kitchen next door every night to learn how to peel and shred potatoes from Yoruichi Toyama.
In addition, every afternoon from 3:00 to 4:00, Yoruichi and Akemi would walk their cat in the nearby park.
Subaru Okiya, who discovered this pattern, tried to follow them a few times, but the only park in Fudoyama City was too small, and he was soon discovered by the two men.
Whether Yoruichi Toyama suspected anything or not, Akemi warmly invited him to go out for a stroll together.
Subaru Okiya had no choice but to harden his heart and decline, handing over the task of tracking to his colleague.
A woman's intuition is always accurate, he thought.
Given time, Mingmei will surely recognize him.
It's best not to leave her with too bad an impression.
This is also for the sake of future work.
With that in mind, Subaru Okiya decided to use this time to conduct a survey of the surrounding area.
For a time, life was quite peaceful.
...
[Host, shall we discuss this?]
After walking halfway through the park, Taro lay down in the shade of a tree, helplessly seeking Yoruichi Toyama's opinion.
[I won't be coming next time we go for a cat walk. You two can walk the cat by yourselves.]
"Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?" Yoruichi Toyama rolled her eyes at him.
"If I go out to walk my cat, what am I walking if I don't bring my cat?"
Are you trying to walk the FBI?
Taro simply lay down on the ground and acted like a spoiled brat.
[I don't care, I'm a cat, what's wrong with me not speaking human language?]
Yoruichi Toyama clicked her tongue, bent down to try to lift him up, and suddenly her eyes flashed as if she had seen something.
"Hey, Kazami's here. It's your turn to shine again!"
【Huh? Oh…】
Taro reluctantly agreed, but still struggled diligently. Taking advantage of Toyama Yoruichi's momentary lapse in attention, he suddenly darted out.
"Kotaro? Kotaro, come back here right now!"
Yoruichi called out twice in a mock manner, then turned to give Akemi a word of advice before chasing after her.
Akemi didn't seem to see the figure that ran out with Yoruichi Toyama, nor did she see the other figure that was still hiding in the shadows observing her.
She smiled and looked around for a moment, then turned and walked away, sitting down on a park bench.
He watched her figure as she hid motionless behind the bushes not far away.
But not long after, meowing sounds came from the bushes on the other side.
"Kotaro?" Akemi called out, walking deeper into the bushes.
With a whoosh, the black cat pounced into her arms, then turned and meowed in an unknown direction.
Seeing Mingmei approaching, the figure hiding in the shadows simply revealed itself.
"Oh dear, you startled me! Miss, is this your cat?"
The blonde woman had fair skin, striking and beautiful features, and distinct Western characteristics. She also spoke with a somewhat non-standard foreign accent.
Akemi quickly hugged Taro, who was still meowing defiantly, and nodded apologetically.
"I'm sorry, miss, did Kotaro scare you?"
"So its name is Kotaro!" the blonde woman laughed, and the two quickly began exchanging pleasantries.
As young women of roughly the same age, we quickly became acquainted despite our different races.
They talked about pets, fashion, and even gossip.
This is Xiu's ex-girlfriend...
No, it should be considered a new love he met after breaking up with me...
But that's all in the past now...
FBI agent Judy Starling, and Shuichi Akai's ex-girlfriend, thought to herself.
...
"Are those kinds of people even considered FBI agents?"
Kazami looked through the car window at the burly man who was looking around in the park and had clearly lost sight of his target, and said disdainfully.
Yoruichi Toyama shrugged beside him.
"Perhaps it's because Shuichi Akai doesn't value me that much."
To be fair, Andre Carmel, also an FBI agent, cannot be considered entirely without merit.
However, they are quite inept at surveillance.
Kazami gave a cold laugh with the arrogance typical of public security officers.
"Then he'll regret it... when he finds out that you rescued Shiho Miyano and handed her over to the police."
