January 20, Tuyao day.
More than a week has passed since the short winter vacation, and Fujiwara Yu has gradually become accustomed to his days as a criminal policeman at the Osaka Police Headquarters. However, he knows very well that the main purpose of coming to Osaka is to reasonably transition his identity.
When the time is right, Toru Izumitani will arrange for someone to transfer him back to Tokyo to continue completing the tasks assigned by the CIA.
However, Fujiwara Yu was not on standby in the office of the Investigation Division today. He got a half-day holiday and contacted his confidant White as soon as possible. He learned that Hondou Eikai was going to Osaka on a business trip, so he saved the money for a JR train ticket.
The CIA is not as generous as the FBI. Transportation expenses are reimbursed based on a percentage. He still feels sorry for his hard-earned salary, so it would be good to spend less.
"Hmm? Where are you going, Brother Touji? Take me with you?" When Hattori Heiji saw Touji Sosuke walking towards the entrance in casual clothes, he quickly put down the PS2 game controller in his hand, lay on the sofa, and asked with his head out.
Fujiwara Yu squatted down and changed into casual sneakers. He originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking carefully, he felt that having more little people around him would make it easier for him to act. Anyway, it was impossible for him to communicate with Hondou Eikai in person. Even if there were organized people monitoring him, they would not think that the person he was meeting would bring junior high school students to carry out important tasks.
After thinking about the pros and cons, he stood up, put his hand on the door handle, and said without turning his head:
"There's a dessert shop in Shinsaibashi, but the most popular thing there is hamburger patties. Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course I'm going to go if Brother Yingsi is treating me. I'll go get a coat later!"
Fujiwara Yu narrowed his eyes. He hadn't even mentioned he was treating, had he? This guy was incredibly shameless. Never mind, he was pretty shameless anyway, because after Hattori Heizo offered to not rent a place outside, he'd just stayed put.
He certainly wasn't so narcissistic as to think it was his own personal charm that made Hattori Heizo willing to "take him in." It was simply because Izumitani Toru had given him a heads-up; otherwise, the head of the headquarters wouldn't have agreed to let him stay overnight.
Because of the extra burden, he couldn't ride his motorcycle to Shinsaibashi, so he had to take the subway with Hattori Heiji.
There was also a rather embarrassing incident along the way - after Fujiwara Yu was approached by an older woman, he inexplicably received a small card. After reading the words on it, he realized that the other party did not like him, but wanted to invite him to be a gigolo.
This quickly brought back a past event that he didn't want to recall. He wondered if the store manager still had kidney deficiency.
"The next stop is Shinsaibashi Station. Passengers heading to Shinsaibashi please prepare to get off."
After hearing the arrival announcement from the subway broadcast, the two stood there calmly, because they both knew that there would be a lot of passengers getting off at this station, so there was no need to squeeze to the door in advance.
Following the flow of people out of the subway station, I successfully arrived at Shinsaibashi, the largest shopping area in Osaka.
There are many boutiques and specialty stores here, and it is also one of the places that tourists visiting Osaka must check in.
As a native of Osaka, Hattori Heiji was very familiar with the place. After learning the name of the dessert shop, he smiled and led the way, and complained:
"So this is the shop. Someone in class said the pancakes here are delicious. It's the one with the little deer."
Fawn.
When Fujiwara Yu heard the name, he thought of what happened at the Sad Love Lake Campground. His impression of this girl whom he had never met was: She turned my vacation into overtime.
But if this girl hadn't delivered the invitation to Toyama Kazuha, the case of Lake of Sadness would have ended differently. So after hearing this name, he felt quite complicated, and couldn't help but think about what kind of ending Mingmei would have had in another possibility.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill down my spine. Sometimes it's nice to turn vacation into overtime.
"Any dessert shop a girl recommends shouldn't taste too bad." Fujiwara Yuu noticed the camera crew fiddling with their equipment outside the door and asked knowingly, "But this shop is really popular. Look at that group of people outside the shop. Are they going to record a food show here?"
Hattori Heiji, who was still in adolescence, was quite interested in exposure. Seeing that Toji-kun showed an expression of "not intending to go in", he quickly put his hands behind his back and did not allow him to refuse, and forced his way into this popular dessert shop.
Fujiwara Yuu, whose plan had succeeded, curled up the corners of her mouth when she looked at him from a place where Hattori couldn't see her, but when she noticed Hondou Eikai sitting in the booth area testing the microphone equipment, she quickly put away the smile on her face. When she subconsciously looked towards the door of the store, she covered her mouth with her hand and coughed lightly as a greeting.
Hondou Eikai, who was sitting on the sofa, raised her eyes and glanced when she heard the clerk shout "Welcome". After noticing that the customer entering the store was her only contact Claire, she quickly retracted her gaze and raised her hand to touch the bangs on her forehead, indicating that she had received the signal he sent.
After receiving the response, Fujiwara Yu randomly chose a seat by the window. As soon as he sat down, a man who looked like a manager walked over quickly, bowed slightly, and asked politely:
"Greetings, gentlemen. Excuse me, would you be willing to appear on camera? As you may have noticed, our restaurant has just received an invitation to be featured on a food interview program on Nichimi TV. We'll be doing some brief interviews with our diners later."
Fujiwara Yuu hadn't yet expressed his opinion, and Hattori Heiji, who had learned to answer quickly, pretended to be calm, with a stern face and a calm tone:
"We can accept interviews, but the time cannot be too long."
