Chapter 100 Sister Sister "Is that so... You know this child very well...
From adolescence to the present, Jinpei Matsuda has never felt that there is anything wrong with his XP.
Although he had blushed unexpectedly due to certain scenes before, he still didn't think it was his problem - he would blush when seeing a cat girl in a maid costume just because that girl was indeed a little cute, and he was obsessed with her because he was ashamed of losing his composure in front of a girl who was several years younger than him.
All in all, he has absolutely no preference for cat ears or maid outfits... and he definitely doesn't want to keep a cat!
The image of the girl with cat ears knocking on the door flashed through his mind. The next second, the curly-haired young man snorted and turned away in disdain. "What do you mean by a homeless savage without a cat... What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot?"
He actually had to explain the joke to the NPC. Chaomu sighed and reluctantly explained, "A stray cat without a cat is like a stray cat without an owner. Matsuda-kun doesn't have a cat, so he's a stray cat without a cat, isn't he?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
Although it sounds logical...but when these words come out of this guy's mouth, it really sounds weird.
"Eh? What are Asami and Jinpei-chan whispering about?" Hagiwara Kenji, still pondering the question, was two steps behind schedule and only caught the second half of the conversation about cats. "Why is Jinpei-chan suddenly wanting a cat? You've always been a staunch dog supporter when we've talked about it before, even saying you thought kittens were too delicate..."
"That's not true at all—I have no interest in raising cats," Matsuda retorted almost instinctively. "Some kid was meowing something with a stray cat, and I just casually asked a few questions."
Talking to stray cats? Sounds... cute.
The girl next to him was looking at him with a righteous look. Hagiwara Kenji coughed lightly and tried to make his voice sound less strange: "So what did Xiao Chaomu say to the cats?"
Although he tried his best, Matsuda couldn't help but cast a look of disgust: What is this guy saying in his hoarse voice? It's so disgusting.
Perhaps because he was used to it, Chaomu was quite receptive to this kind of voice. He seriously shared with him the information he had just gathered from his conversation with the cats: "We can't go to that Western restaurant we were originally planning to go to. The cats said the owner added a lot of additives to the dishes, and there's a strange aroma. In this case, should we call the reporting hotline?"
The girl's thoughts were always quite whimsical, but she wasn't the type to make up stories. The two active-duty police officers grew serious almost simultaneously, taking note of the information and discussing how to bring it up with their colleagues in charge of food safety.
"That's a popular online restaurant with a lot of traffic..." Hagiwara Kenji frowned slightly. "I was planning on treating Asami to a nice meal to celebrate getting your license, and I've already reserved a table..."
"That high-end restaurant? I think you mentioned it." Although he was tempted to make a surprise investigation, seeing the girl beside him, Matsuda Jinpei suppressed the thought and just pondered, "It seems to be owned by a large family. They say the prices are ridiculously high."
Not to mention that this kind of investigation was not their responsibility, and he and Hagiwara were not professionals... They couldn't just leave Chaomu here and let them investigate.
"It's the Watanabe family's restaurant—the family that owns the auction house we went on a last-minute police call." Hagiwara Kenji shared similar thoughts and simply made a note of it for now, intending to investigate further. "Last time, when I was investigating the bombing at their auction house, I passed by the kitchen and happened to see a flyer for their dishes that looked good, so I took note and thought I'd give it a try."
Matsuda also remembered that case, and upon hearing this, his brow twitched slightly. "...It's that case... But how could you have the energy to observe something like that while on duty? I remember that auction house was planted with five time bombs..."
"But weren't the bombs already defused by the time we arrived?" Hagiwara shrugged innocently. "Kofutani... the witnesses all said everything was fine, and the family who called the police seemed unwilling to cooperate with the investigation. So all I could do was look at the menu flyer. The matsutake and foie gras in the picture looked quite tempting."
Watanabe's house...bomb?
Hearing those two key words, Chaomu pricked up her ears silently. Five bombs? Wasn't that the main storyline mission she'd done earlier, stealing the chip? It turned out that the officers responding to the call were Hagiwara-kun and Matsuda-kun... What a coincidence! Were they the only two officers in the Explosives Unit?
For some reason, the eyewitnesses Hagiwara mentioned also made her a little concerned. He seemed to mention a name and then suddenly took it back. Her intuition told her that this eyewitness couldn't be some insignificant passerby.
As they talked, the three of them had already crossed the alley and reached the street, stopping at an intersection to change their destination. Asami keenly noticed that when she mentioned "witnesses," Hagiwara and Matsuda both glanced in her direction almost simultaneously, then quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
There is indeed something strange.
The player narrowed his eyes sharply.
She herself didn't know the details of the Watanabe family incident and wanted to hear more about the previous case. But they had reached a crossroads, and the two active police officers simultaneously stopped the topic, clearly not intending to continue discussing official business in a public place with so many people coming and going.
Hagiwara Kenji changed the subject quite naturally: "It's a shame though... If our original plan is forced to be cancelled, is there any restaurant that Xiao Chaomu would like to eat at?"
Chaomu was so curious that she was scratching her head. Seeing that he didn't continue, she couldn't ask any more questions. She could only reply regretfully, "The tabby cat just said that the oyster hotpot at the restaurant across the street is delicious and the ingredients are very fresh. Should we try that restaurant?"
"The hot pot restaurant across the street is really delicious."
A refreshing female voice came in naturally. Chaomu was attracted by the sudden voice and turned around to meet a pair of blue eyes.
Hagiwara Kenji stood up straight: "Sister? Why are you here?"
"I was just passing by on duty." The policewoman answered concisely and stopped the motorcycle.
Hmm? Sister? Is this... Hagiwara-kun's sister?
Chaomu blinked, looked at Hagiwara Kenji, then at the policewoman in front of him, his attention completely diverted by the beauty of the NPC: Judging from the exquisite modeling and painting style, these two really look like a family... They must have been painted by the same artist.
The long-haired policewoman sat astride a motorcycle, looking like she was on duty. She had just taken off her helmet, and the traffic department uniform on her body looked smart and stylish.
Her cold, beautiful face softened slightly when she saw her brother and his friends, and a smile lingered in her slightly hoarse voice: "That's not like you, Kenji—it's a rare day off, why are you taking Matsuda and this lady to the intersection instead of having fun? The light is green, isn't it?"
"Eh—no matter what, I wouldn't stay this long, would I? I was just standing here for a while because we were discussing where to eat tonight." Hagiwara Kenji was obviously very close to his sister. He explained with a smile and took Asagiri in his arms, introducing her, "This is little Asagiri, the child I was planning to introduce to you... This is my real sister, Hagiwara Chisawa."
It turns out that they are his biological children.
Chaomu greeted honestly: "Hello, sister."
This sister looks like she's from the traffic department and seems quite maneuverable. If she speeds in the city next time, will this sister be the one to catch her?
"Good evening—is this the kid you mentioned earlier, Kenji? What a good kid."
Despite their first meeting, Chisu Hagiwara didn't seem to be affected by Charm D, and her initial impression of the player was quite positive. She patted Chaomu's head, a hint of teasing in her smile. "You're so well-behaved, like the kids you and Matsuda kidnapped and led astray... Especially you, Matsuda, wearing sunglasses so late at night. If I hadn't known you, my colleagues would have almost mistaken you for someone suspicious."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
He tutted his words, took off his sunglasses, and muttered reluctantly, "Sister Qiansu, you have such bad eyesight. Who would think that guy is a good kid?"
He objected, but not loudly.
Asami was acutely aware that Matsuda had been silent ever since Chizuki Hagiwara appeared. A certain gossip-like string suddenly struck her mind, and she glanced thoughtfully at Kenji Hagiwara: Was it what she thought?
Kenji Hagiwara raised the corners of his lips and exchanged glances with her: Probably?
Their glances exchanged for a split second before Hagiwara Chisuga expertly tapped Matsuda on the head. "Who are you calling bad taste, brat? Miss Asamure looks more obedient than both you and Kenji."
Being used as a reference, Chaomu straightened his head and chest, looked back at Matsuda seriously, and agreed, "I also think I look more obedient than Matsuda-kun."
Although the player has Charm D, Matsuda-kun looks fierce with sunglasses and a dark face, and he doesn't look like a police officer at all. If we just compare the degree of obedience, she thinks she is better.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………?”
He glanced at Zhao Mu with disdain: "When have you ever been really obedient, even when you dressed up as a cat..."
She is also a cat girl who climbs up roofs and destroys houses everywhere. She has nothing in common with the image of a good child.
But he was halfway through his words when he realized that he was remembering what happened at that time. He suddenly shut his mouth again and only muttered a few words at the end: "Anyway, Sister Qiansu, you were deceived by her. That guy is not what you see at all."
Hagiwara Chisuku raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm...?"
Her eyes shifted thoughtfully between Chaomu and Matsuda twice, as if she had figured something out. The corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Is that so... You know this kid very well, Matsuda."
Her gaze seemed quite meaningful. The curly-haired young man didn't know why he felt a little guilty being stared at. His ears started to burn. He took a half step back and said, "It's just a little bit... I don't know her very well..."
【Jinpei Matsuda is a bit shy.】
Although Chaomu is usually too lazy to watch the plot, she still likes to read this kind of gossip.
She looked at Matsuda, then at Chisuku, and finally at Hagiwara Kenji, exchanging a look with him with a sharp gaze that saw through everything: This should be what she thought, right?
Hagiwara Kenji seemed lost in thought.
The young man with semi-long hair frowned slightly, looking at You Xunran's expression, his eyes gradually became confused: Is that so... ?
