How could you argue with the person you're trying to woo?!
Was he wrong? No, wasn't he? Wasn't protecting Shiho Miyano the most important thing?
[Besides, Gao Yuan, you know he wouldn't hurt children, right? So why are you worrying about the ozone layer?]
Now that Amuro Tooru isn't playing with you anymore, it'll be harder to raise your affection level with him in the future.
Let's see how you complete your mission and return to the real world!
【…Hey! I'm talking to you, host! Don't pretend you didn't hear me!】
[If you're so capable of arguing with the police, then go ahead and speak up!]
Seeing Yoruichi Toyama lounging on the sofa watching cartoons, Taro grew angrier and angrier, suddenly jumping onto his lap and slashing his face with his claws.
Yoruichi Toyama effortlessly caught the cat's paw, examined the howling black cat for a while, and then said calmly, "Check Amuro Tooru's favorability rating."
【Varied……】
Tyro paused for a moment, but still pulled up the data as instructed.
[Toru Amuro: 51 (friend). 】
[Falling valley zero: 51 (friend). 】
[...]
What... what's going on?
Before Yoruichi Toyama could speak, Taro was already dumbfounded.
[Didn't you say you two had a fight, and he kicked you out, preventing you from participating in any more actions against the distillery?]
[Why did my favorability rating increase?]
"Probably because he's also a tsundere..."
Yoruichi Toyama answered in a calm tone, as if she had expected this outcome.
Amuro Tooru, or rather, Public Security Police Officer Furuya Rei, had long regarded Toyama Yoruichi as a partner, just like the five members of the police academy group back then.
Yoruichi Toyama had already discovered this after returning from Tsukikage Island.
As a police officer, Rei Furuya also agrees with Yoruichi Toyama's philosophy of "protecting the people".
Although he claimed that duty came first, he could understand and accept Yoruichi Toyama's stance of considering the safety of innocent civilians.
These points were already clear when he kicked Yoruichi Toyama out of the action team under the pretext of "saintly sentiments".
He wasn't against this sentiment, but he worried that Yoruichi Toyama might be hurt when faced with difficult choices in future events.
How could his favorability rating drop if he could do something like that?
So, what are your plans...?
Seeing Taro's suddenly excited eyes, Yoruichi Toyama shook her head.
"By the way, Conan's affection level is almost at 50, right?"
Taro quickly checked and then nodded.
I'm 48 now...
"So, unless absolutely necessary, I plan to reduce my interactions with these two people in the future."
"But anyway, we still have to wait for Kid and the like to come out. When that happens, I can just casually refresh my game. Conan and Amuro Tooru can both get 60 points."
Although the goal is to score 300 points for the five targets, averaging 60 points per person, this calculation is correct.
But Taro still felt the decision was a bit abrupt.
【No, didn't you say before... that we should farm more points with those we knew first, so we wouldn't have to go through the trouble of farming for Kid?】
[An average score of 60 points, but not everyone is limited to 60 points...]
"I remember you said that once the affection level reaches 61, you're considered a 'heart's desire'?"
Yoruichi Toyama was still staring at the cartoon on TV, her gaze somewhat distant.
What's that same-sex relationship called?
[Close friends.]
Taro answered instinctively, but was still completely confused.
So what...?
"You know, Officer Furuya originally had four classmates from the police academy, all of whom later died in the line of duty."
"Now, regardless of whether it's compensatory psychology or what, he seems to have already regarded me as one of his partners."
"But I have to leave after I finish my mission..."
"What will he do then? Will he be all alone again?"
Watching Sailor Moon, who was alone on TV going to challenge Queen Belial, Yoruichi Toyama sighed deeply.
"The same goes for others, Conan, and Akechi..."
Especially that guy Akechi, who is clearly not a target of his affections, yet he still tries to make his presence known every day.
"I was transported here by accident, and when it's time for me to leave... I hope I won't affect them too much..."
...
Taro strongly suspected that his host's emotional confession was actually an excuse to give up.
During the week he returned, Yoruichi Toyama would go to the coffee shop to open for business before noon every day, trying out the coffee-making skills he had learned from his former boss, Takato. He wasted countless coffee beans and coffee powder.
In the afternoons, a few regular customers would occasionally come. Besides making the same few decent drinks, he would spend his time arguing with Kindaichi, who came to relax.
The detective agency hadn't received any clients, but he didn't seem to care.
This guy, relying on the rent from Poirot Cafe and his salary as a consultant at the Metropolitan Police Department, is blatantly slacking off.
Hmm...
Slacking off...
As Taro thought this, he hugged the dried fish in his arms tighter and yawned.
Actually... the feeling of slacking off is pretty good...
Just as I was thinking this, a "ding" sounded from the door.
"Welcome... Oh? What brings you here?"
Yoruichi Toyama's greeting abruptly ended upon recognizing the person, replaced by a casual and unpretentious question.
As usual, with a shimmering star backdrop, Akechi first politely greeted the store's heavyweight members, Kotaro and Pengnosuke, before turning to Toyama Yoruichi with a smile.
