"..." Ai glanced at Kousuke, whose expression remained unchanged, shook her head helplessly, and then gave a faint smile.
Only he could say such a thing without hesitation or change in expression.
However, he is actually quite interesting in this way.
“I understand,” Takagi nodded in response.
The two exchanged knowing smiles, looked around to make sure no "fierce police officers" appeared, and then Takagi asked.
"Kuangyou, what's the hint?"
"Think about it, I didn't install any cameras on you or Miwako-neechan, which means we don't know what you're like normally."
"Yes, I know." Takagi nodded. Although he knew this, he couldn't say much since he needed his help.
"Have you ever thought about why I said that you and Miwako-neechan had made some progress?" Kōyū asked.
"I've thought about it." Takagi nodded.
"Have you figured out the reason?" To be honest, Guangyou had no hope of figuring out the reason at all.
If he could really think of that, Takagi would have thought of it long ago, why would he need to remind him?
"No." Just as Mitsuyu had predicted, Takagi shook his head.
“Just as I expected.” Kōyū wasn’t surprised at all, and continued, “Officer Takagi, since I don’t know how you and Miwako-neechan usually get along…”
"Think about it for a moment and you'll realize that the reason I judged that your relationship had progressed is because of what Miwako-neechan said to you just now."
Seeing that Takagi seemed to want to ask more questions, Kōyū spoke first.
"This is my reminder. As for the specific reason, Officer Takagi, you should think about it carefully yourself. It's very simple."
"Alright." Seeing that it was unlikely that Kousuke would give another hint, Takagi had no choice but to give up the idea of asking and start figuring it out on his own.
"If you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure it out." Kōyū patted Takagi's arm and comforted her. "It's really not difficult. After all, Miwako-neechan only said a few words to you just now."
"..." Takagi felt offended, but he could only keep it to himself because what Kousuke said was true and he was powerless to refute it.
Just now, Officer Sato did only say a few words to him.
He remembered those words very clearly, but was the answer really hidden in those words?
He felt that this sentence was very ordinary.
I don't know how Guangyou figured out that their relationship had progressed; judging from just these few sentences, he didn't see it at all.
After thinking for a long time without finding an answer, Takagi scratched his head with his other hand and complained:
"Ugh, this is so difficult!"
Just then, Sato Miwako's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Officer Takagi, what's so difficult? Is there some kind of problem with the case?"
"Huh?" Takagi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said nervously, "The case went very smoothly and is basically over."
"That's good." Sato Miwako nodded without asking any further questions. She walked to Takagi's side, patted his shoulder, and said.
"Officer Takagi, you should go eat now. You've been busy all morning."
"Okay." Takagi didn't react for a moment, but subconsciously nodded in response.
Unaware of Takagi's unusual behavior, after saying that to Takagi, Sato Miwako spoke to Miyamoto Yumi beside her.
"Let's go, Yumi."
"Hmm." Miyamoto Yumi patted Takagi on the shoulder and said mysteriously, "Officer Takagi, I'm rooting for you!"
Perhaps it was because of this statement that Miyamoto Yumi was immediately pulled away by Sato Miwako as soon as she finished speaking.
"Miwako, tell the truth." After being pulled away, Miyamoto Yumi leaned close to Sato Miwako, suppressing a smile, and asked.
"You actually wanted to have dinner with Officer Takagi, didn't you? You deliberately dragged me along so that Officer Takagi wouldn't find out."
“That’s not true at all.” Sato Miwako decisively pushed Miyamoto Yumi away and explained, “Inviting colleagues to dinner is perfectly normal.”
Their voices weren't quiet, and there was no noise around them, so Guangyou could vaguely hear their conversation.
"Sure enough, there has been some progress."
Sato Miwako's reaction just now confirmed Mitsuyu's previous guess.
If there's no romantic interest between the two, a woman with normal emotional intelligence and character wouldn't say something like, "Why don't we wait for you to come along?"
Those claims about "you can still be friends even if you don't confess your feelings" are just fooling naive young boys.
If a confession of love is unsuccessful, the girl usually won't deliberately avoid the boy, but she also won't deliberately say things like "Why don't we wait for you together and go together?"
For many boys, this can easily give them a sense of "there is still hope".
Some "green tea" girls use this "playing hard to get" tactic to make the other person their backup plan, or rather, their free tool or ATM.
Of course, it's possible that the woman genuinely sees the man as a friend or colleague, or that she simply has low emotional intelligence.
However, this possibility is not very high.
Especially for Sato Miwako, she also had a wingman who was trying to bring her and Takagi together, namely Miyamoto Yumi.
The reason for the matchmaking was that Miyamoto Yumi knew that Takagi liked Sato Miwako, and Sato Miwako also had good feelings towards Takagi.
There's a chance, that's why we try to match them up.
If there were no chance, Miyamoto Yumi wouldn't have tried to match them up.
Her words, "I believe in you!" are the best proof.
Besides proving this from the perspective of Yumi Miyamoto as her "wingman," Miwako Sato's tone in her explanation also serves as evidence.
Her tone was a little off, as if she was in a hurry to explain.
But if they were really just colleagues, given Sato Miwako's usually decisive and efficient style, it would definitely not be like this.
If she said in a very calm tone, "We're just colleagues, Yumi, don't overthink it," it would be more believable.
However, when Sato Miwako was explaining to Miyamoto Yumi, she pushed Miyamoto Yumi away, and at the same time, she spoke faster, and you could feel that she was somewhat ashamed and indignant in her tone.
Perhaps she was worried that Takagi would overhear what Miyamoto Yumi said.
Moreover, without any prior grudge, Sato Miwako pulled Takagi away simply because Miyamoto Yumi told her "I believe in you."
It's obvious that Sato Miwako didn't treat Takagi as just a colleague or a friend; she definitely harbored feelings for him deep down.
Most importantly, although Guangyou has forgotten a large part of the plot, he still clearly remembers that the two of them are an official couple.
