Chapter 363: Today’s Defeat: Yuan Yuzi
The sign at the izakaya clearly states that it closes at 2 a.m.

As time passed, and the waiter would occasionally come into the box to take a look, everyone except Yuan Yuzi began to feel uneasy.

Fushimi Shika had an injury on his leg and could not walk fast. No matter how much Gen Tamaki urged him, he could only push his wheelchair at a snail’s pace – the wheelchair was bought when he was recuperating after his last fracture, and he didn’t expect to use it again now.

When they arrived at the door of the izakaya, Fushimi Shika stood up and asked the waiter to help him put away the wheelchair. He slowly walked into the private room, holding on to the wall.

Originally he didn’t want to come, as going out for a dinner party would easily expose the injury on his leg, and he would have to endure Kujo Yui’s scrutiny while eating, and he might even be questioned by Moriki Yalan and others. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

However, just as Yuan Yuzi was sending him a message, an unfamiliar text message popped up on his phone, containing only one word:

“Come”

Even if Fushimi Shika used his nose to think, he could guess who sent the message.

The person who sent this message must be at the dinner venue, otherwise the word would not be “come”, “go” would be more accurate; he had notes and contact information for the people that Gen Tamako invited, except for Kujo Yui.

He couldn’t just ignore what Chief Kujo had said.

Maybe Kujo just had something serious to talk to him about?

There is nothing wrong between him and Minamoto Tamaki. As the Superintendent of Police, Kujo Yui would not argue with him in front of so many subordinates, right?
At this moment, Fushimi Shika lifted the curtain of the box, looked around, and said with a smile: “Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, I am late.”

“Aba Aba Aba…” Watanabe Shun waved repeatedly.

The low pressure in the room melted away like ice and snow, and the box finally had a dinner party atmosphere.

The waiters had all gone off work, and the boss came to serve the food himself; Moriki Masaru helped to clink draft beer, and everyone got a big glass; Watanabe Shun was typing, but no one paid attention; Kazama Takusai glanced at his calf and picked up some food by himself; Gen Tamako grinned wickedly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

“The bayonets are firing! The bayonets are firing!”

Watanabe Shun held up the pager, and everyone realized that what he meant was “penalty drink for being late.”

Fushimi Shika did not shirk his responsibility. He drank a glass of draft beer and burped loudly. The atmosphere became more and more heated. Everyone tacitly understood each other and did not mention the matter of Cat Island in front of Kujo Yui.

Moriki Miyaran took the lead and talked about the nearest ski resort. She planned to take a leave to go skiing in two days. Kazama Takusai rarely spoke and said that he also wanted to go, which surprised everyone. Gen Tamako hurriedly asked what to do with her shooting practice, and Watanabe Shun immediately raised his hand to say that he could do it for her…

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became harmonious, and Fushimi Shika suddenly asked:
“By the way, Yuzi, didn’t you say you had something important to discuss?”

Yuan Yuzi paused while picking up the food. She glanced at Kujo Yui secretly. Seeing that Mama-chan didn’t seem to intend to mention marriage, she took the initiative and said, “Yes, that’s right, it’s about Cat Island…”

“Ah!” Senmu Yalan suddenly interrupted: “Well, my stomach seems to be a little uncomfortable.”

Kujo Yui suddenly said, “Just drink some hot water.”

Moriki Yalan had just left the stool, and she had no choice but to sit down. Kazama Takusai and Watanabe Shun also kept silent. They put down their chopsticks and crossed their arms, as if waiting for Yuan Yuzi to speak.

Seeing this, Yuan Yuzi vaguely felt that she seemed to have said something wrong.

“The reason I called everyone here today is actually…”

She was just about to go on and let everyone talk about what happened on Cat Island.

Didn’t mom want evidence? There happened to be four eyewitnesses here. With evidence, we have to file a case for investigation. Now mom has nothing to say, right?
However, before she could finish, Kujo Yui immediately took over the conversation: “It’s for socializing.”

……

Everyone was stunned.

The box was eerily quiet, with only the sound of Fushimi Deer chewing.

“Ah Ba Ah Ba…” Watanabe Shun raised his pager to Kujo Yui, and the unsent page had four big words written on it:

“You want to socialize? My boss is a good man.”

Moriki Yalan and Kazama Takusai also saw it. The former burst out laughing, while the latter slapped the pager away and apologized to Kujo Yui with a wry smile: “I’m sorry, my subordinate has suffered a brain injury recently…”

He slipped his tongue for a moment and forgot that he was no longer Watanabe Shun’s boss.

Kujo Yui didn’t care, nor did she correct his slip of the tongue. She just said indifferently, “It’s not me, it’s my daughter. She’s now of marriageable age. You are all her friends. If there are suitable people of the same age, I hope you can help introduce them.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuzi’s ahoge immediately responded.

I’m coming!

I am finally coming!
She straightened her back, put on a ladylike look, and stiffly covered her mouth with her hands, smiling awkwardly: “Mom, Mom, don’t say that anymore…”

Unexpectedly, the others did not introduce the young talents as expected, but turned their heads to look at Fushimi Shika who was eating peanuts. “Why are you all looking at me?” Fushimi Shika looked innocent.

Kujo Yui put his elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a smile: “Is Fushimi-kun single now? Have you thought about this?”

wrong!

It shouldn’t be like this!

If this continues, won’t it turn out that she and Fushimi-kun are on a blind date? !

Yuan Yuzi was horrified. She quickly grabbed Kujo Yui’s arm and said sincerely, “Mom! Stop talking!”

Fushimi Shika straightened his collar, coughed lightly, and prepared to speak. Only then did Gen Tamako notice that this guy was wearing a formal black and white suit, with his hair combed back like an adult.

“Well, I am currently single… Come to think of it, my father’s biggest regret before he died was that he didn’t get to see me get married.”

As he spoke, Fushimi Shika shook his head and sighed, “I am not young anymore, and it is time for me to consider starting a family. You are all my friends, and if there are suitable people of the same age, I hope you can help introduce them to me.”

Shit!

Yuan Yuzi thought, didn’t your father run an izakaya? Isn’t your biggest regret that you didn’t inherit the izakaya family business?
“Abba, Ababa, Abba…”

At some point, Watanabe Shun picked up the pager, typed a new line of words, and came to Fushimi Shika. Everyone looked closely and saw that it said, “Yes, I know a waitress at Shibuya SG Club. She likes your type very much. She is a good match for you. I will introduce her to you later.”

“…”

“…”

Senmu Yalan couldn’t hold back her laughter again.

Yuan Yuzi’s face flushed with anger, and she clenched her fists. She thought to herself, what does “a good match for you” mean? Senior Watanabe really has no taste at all. How can a girl who works as a waitress in a bar be a good person? Isn’t this just a random matchmaking?
You’ve ruined Fushimi-kun’s happiness for the rest of his life, can you take responsibility?!
Kazama Takusai pressed down Watanabe Shun’s hand and said, “Speaking of which, the last time we went to the underground bar to investigate a case, a woman fell in love with you at first sight. During this period when I went there to drink, she kept asking me for your contact information… If you don’t mind, I can pass your contact information to her.”

Ever since what happened to Minamoto Naoro, Kazama Takusai has been thinking about atonement. Since he wants to protect Minamoto Tamako, it’s best to keep her away from Fushimi Kakashi – he used to think that the two of them were a perfect match, but now he’s just worried that Fushimi Kakashi will hurt Minamoto Tamako’s heart.

These words sounded like a devil’s voice to Yuan Yuzi’s ears. She didn’t expect that such a short sentence could actually attack her brain stem, causing her blood to rush to her head, her heart to beat faster, and her teeth to gnash. She wished she could just send Senior Fengjian to prison.

It’s okay that Watanabe-senpai is confused, but why is Kazama-senpai also like this?
Although it’s a bit of occupational discrimination, probability can’t lie! Bars are not a decent place to make friends, there are a lot of bad women in them!
What you call love at first sight, isn’t it just lust at first sight?

You don’t even know Fushimi-kun, but you still have the nerve to ask for his contact information… Ugh! How shameless!
Sen Mu Ya Lan had laughed enough. She wiped away her tears, waved her hands and said, “Can’t you be serious? Isn’t it obvious what I mean? Can’t you see it?”

Hearing this, Yuan Yuzi’s eyes lit up.

Good job!
Sister Yalan, I knew you were the most reliable!
She held the knife and fork and cut the teppanyaki gracefully, pretending not to care but actually pricked up her ears.

I only heard Moriki Yalan continue to say: “Fushimi-kun is looking for a marriage partner, not a love partner. How can you introduce a woman you met in a bar? Why don’t I introduce someone more reliable… There is a new person in the police station recently. She is a very cute girl! We are also police officers, so we must have a lot to talk about…”

Uh-huh! !
Yuan Yuzi suffered 10,000 points of critical hits. The knife and fork in her hands scratched the plate, making a harsh sound like nails scratching a blackboard, like a defeated dog’s silent cry.

why?
Why… even Sister Yalan betrayed me! !
This time, Gen Tamako really couldn’t find any fault with it, because she herself had worked as a patrol officer in front of Sugamo Station. If that girl was not good enough, then she definitely wouldn’t be good enough either. Denying the other person was the same as denying herself.

In fact, Mori Mu Yalan noticed the expression of Yuan Yuzi, and her cuteness aggression broke out again. Since Kujo Yui was present, she couldn’t have physical contact with Yuan Yuzi, so she had to tease Yuan Yuzi, thinking of looking at her shy expression for a while longer.

At this time, for some unknown reason, Kujo Yui smiled and added the final blow:

“That’s great. If they plan to date, they can ask me for half a day off.”

……

Yuan Yuzi’s blood bar was completely drained.

She silently put down her knife and fork, pushed away the chair, stood up, lowered her head and whispered, “I, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable… I’m going to the bathroom…” As she spoke, she sobbed.

Senmu Yalan was stunned, realizing that she had gone too far, and quickly tried to persuade him, “Ah, that’s not what we meant…”

Before she finished her words, she saw Yuan Yuzi covering her eyes with her arms and running out of the box. She ran too fast, didn’t look at the road, and slipped and fell. Without waiting for others to speak, she hurriedly got up and ran away.

“…”

Everyone turned their eyes to Fushimi Shika, who was still eating peanuts.

“What are you looking at me for?” Fushimi Lu looked innocent.
