I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

After letting the two of them wait for a moment, she walked into the kitchen and soon came out with a young man with dark skin.

Chapter 4 For Love

　　In the Sakura House, Shinichi and Xiaolan were led into a private room by a waitress.

Although it is essentially an izakaya, there are a few other things on offer.

After making a pot of tea, the waitress brought another plate of Kyoto’s specialty snacks, bean daifuku.

The glutinous rice pancake wraps the bean filling. The sticky pancake skin, chewy beans, and warm bean filling with a slight salty taste are perfect for enjoying on a winter morning.

After doing all this, the waitress slowly withdrew, leaving space for Shinichi and others.

"Kudo! If you need anything, just tell me! I have to go to the kitchen to help!"

Osaka Black Chicken still had the same impatience, taking a sip of tea, and his accent was mixed with the familiar Kansai accent.

If he hadn't changed into the same work uniform as the waitress just now, Shinichi would have thought that he was just here to investigate the case.

"There's no "one-zero-seven", it's just Aunt Jinghua who asked me to find out why you didn't go home."

Taking a sip of the steaming tea, Shinichi said calmly.

"That's right! It's not good to run away from home!"

Xiaolan also echoed, her little face full of seriousness and seriousness.

If she could wipe the bean paste from the corner of her mouth, she would be more convincing.

"Ah! That Obasan!"

After understanding Shinichi's purpose, Hattori Heiji slapped his forehead, his tone full of helplessness, but he didn't feel much surprise.

Ever since he made that call home, he had expected someone to come looking for him.

I just didn't expect that it would be Shinichi who came to my door.

Glancing at someone who was wiping the bean paste off the lips of the girl next to him, Hattori Heiji felt even more helpless.

He knew very well that it was not that easy to fool this guy.

After much thought, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"...In other words, you stay here to pursue love?"

After Osaka Black Chicken's emotional narration, Shinichi scratched his chin and concluded with a frown.

There were so many shortcomings that he didn't know where to start.

Likewise, he doesn't know whether he should tell this guy that Miss Chiga is not the first love you remember.

Just when Xinyi was struggling with pain in his face, Xiaolan showed eager eyes.

"It's so romantic!"

Regarding this situation, girls who are relatively emotional always have simple ideas.

Please!It's super cool to risk everything for love, isn't it?

Even her opinion of Hattori Heiji, which was not too high, rose a bit.

"Is it romantic?"

But Osaka Black Chicken, with his pitifully low emotional intelligence, completely failed to understand the girl's compliment, and instead began to think seriously.

These days he is basically working part-time in this izakaya, where he eats and sleeps.

As the son of the chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, although he is not the kind of pampered second-generation ancestor, he has never experienced the beatings of life.

A self-sufficient life was still a little early for him when he was still in high school.

Compared to "romantic", perhaps the word "reality" can better describe his situation these days.

His ability to persevere is all due to his beautiful vision of love!

Even if this love has not yet begun, Hattori Heiji firmly believes that as long as he persists, he will succeed!

In response to this, Xinyi had to hold back what he wanted to say and silently sent a blessing.

……

As time went by, the Sakura Room became lively.

After all, there are idlers everywhere. Even on weekdays, many customers come here to enjoy the maiko performance while drinking tea and chatting.

It seemed that because it was broad daylight, they did not drink.

Shinichi and Xiaolan were also able to rest for a while in Sakuraya, and after enjoying the free bean daifuku and tea, they left here.

"I never thought that Hattori would do such a thing!"

At this time, the little angel was still shocked by what she said, and he probably had already imagined a romantic drama in his mind.

Seeing her walking without her feet, Shinichi silently thought about whether he should let her watch less midnight TV series in the future.

"Go back to God!"

Shinichi said angrily as he stretched out his hand to pull her over to avoid an oncoming customer.

"what?!"

The girl exclaimed, then realized that she had almost bumped into someone else.

Fortunately, the guest seemed quite anxious. He glanced at the two of them and continued walking inside without saying anything.

"Disgusting! You're still laughing!"

Xiaolan took the initiative to throw herself into the embrace, and looked up her pretty face that had not been put on makeup. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of shame, and she was very dissatisfied with the smile on someone's face.

"Okay, I won't laugh~"

Xindian nodded, but the smile on his lips became a little brighter. 0

This caused an abnormal blush to gradually appear on the girl's face, as if she was angry.

"Uh-Ignore you!"

Her cheeks were as bulging as those of a goldfish. She tossed her head arrogantly, and her floating hair brushed against someone, bringing with it a faint fragrance.

Taking small, tight steps, she walked out without looking back.

"Slow down~ Do you know where you are going next?"

Shinichi chased after him unhurriedly, but glanced behind him without any trace.

He felt a familiar aura from the guest just now, just like he felt every time he met a prisoner.

But that's not what he needs to worry about.

Now he just wants to spend time with the little angel and start his proposal plan at the same time, but he doesn't want to be disturbed by other things.

Anyway, there is Osaka Black Chicken here. Even if any case does happen, I believe that guy can handle it.

……

"Hey! How long do we have to patrol?"

At the same time, in a patrol car of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, a patrol officer yawned greatly and asked his colleague next to him with a tired face.

They had been patrolling for a day and a night. Although they had some rest in between, they couldn't even get a good night's sleep during that time.

They had similar experiences during previous missions.

But at that time, they at least knew what they were doing, unlike now, patrolling aimlessly without even a direction.

"Who knows?"

The mental state of the patrolman who drove was slightly better by 3.3 points, but it was only a little.

He rubbed his eyes and slowed down the car to avoid an accident.

"I heard that something big happened, and people from Tokyo were sent over!"

"No way? Didn't you just come here a few days ago?"

"You don't know this, right? It is said that the last operation was not completely successful and the leader escaped!"

"Run away? I remember that the thieves were put with trackers? How could they still let people run away?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, the authorities have blocked this news, otherwise it would be embarrassing!"

"That's true. The prisoner escaped in our capital. Don't let your colleagues laugh to death if you tell him!"

After chatting for a while, the two patrol officers became quiet and turned their attention outside the car, paying attention to possible cases.

Chapter 4 A natural proposal

　　A lot of time was wasted in Sakuraya, but Shinichi still wanted to continue with his plan.

He has never been a person who dawdles. As long as the time is right and what needs to be done, he will definitely do it.

And now, he felt it was a very suitable time.

Holding hands with the girl, talking and laughing along the way, the two were walking towards the nearby tram stop.

"Where are we going by train?"

At an intersection, the two stopped and waited for the red light to end.

Xiaolan asked playfully with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She doesn't know her next destination yet.

"Togetsukyo Bridge, have you heard of it?"

"Togetsu Bridge?"

Flicking up her loose hair, Xiaolan looked at Shinichi and repeated it softly.

Of course she knew this place. As a famous attraction in Arashiyama, Togetsukyo Bridge is located on the outskirts of Kyoto. It is a bridge for vehicles and pedestrians over the Katsura River.

Every year when the cherry blossoms are in bloom and the red leaves are falling, it is a great place to watch.

The reason why she felt strange was that the journey to Arashiyama from here was not that close.
