Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 192 This is what a man should do

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

It was around 8 or 9 in the evening, and the izakaya was at its peak dining time. The inner hall was full of diners, and a low wooden fence separated the dining area. Six patrolmen sat around the long table, their heads gathered together to order food; Chief Moriki sat at the head seat, inviting Watanabe Shun and Kazama Takusai to sit down... As for Fushimi Kaka and Minamoto Tamako, they sat side by side on the inside of the wooden fence, whispering something to each other.

By the time the welcome dinner started, everyone had already arrived and taken their seats, but Gen Tamako was still arguing with Fushimi Shika about the "egg sauce".

She was very angry, not only because Fushimi Shika was perfunctory and even refused to call her Tamagoyaki-chan, but also because 'Egg-chan' was her nickname in elementary school.

When she was in elementary school, the bad boys in her class often said, "Omako means egg, so you are a stupid egg," which left her with very bad memories as a child.

Giving random nicknames to others is really abominable!

You must apologize! Fushimi-kun must apologize to her! At least you must say seriously, "I'm sorry, I won't call you egg sauce anymore," and she will forgive Fushimi-kun!

"I think Egg Sauce is cute, what a great name, why can't I call her that?" Fushimi Lu kept dancing in her minefield.

"No means no!" Yuan Yuzi's cheeks puffed up.

"Then you have to give me a reason, right?" Fushimi Shika lowered his head and flipped through the menu.

"Think about it, when people mention eggs, they will think of bad words like 'stupid eggs', 'ovum', and 'fragile', so 'egg sauce' is obviously a derogatory term! It's like if I called you 'buck deer', would you be happy?" Yuan Yuzi argued convincingly.

"This is totally different, isn't it?" Fushimi Shika disagreed.

"It's the same thing!" Yuan Yuzi crossed her arms.

"That's really troublesome. What do you think I should call you?" Fushimi Shika asked casually.

"Of course it's Tamago-chan!"

After Gen Tamako said this, she realized that she had been fooled. As expected, Fushimi Shika heard this and immediately turned the tables, showing a smile of success: "Hey - so you really want me to call you Tamako-chan?"

Yuan Yuzi's face flushed red, like a magma egg, and hot steam came out of her head. She didn't care that Fushimi Shika was a patient, and waved her hands like a windmill, hitting Fushimi Shika's shoulders back and forth: "You, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm angry! I'm really angry!"

……

On the other side, Kazama Takusai sat down next to Moriki Yalan. He looked at Gen Tamaki and Fushimi Shika playing around, and suddenly felt that there was an invisible barrier between them - Gen Tamaki no longer greeted her enthusiastically like before, and Fushimi Shika no longer called her "senior" reluctantly like before - they were still laughing and playing, and he became an outsider.

Watanabe Shun didn't know what happened between them, and his slow brain nerves didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong. He kept shouting for the wine to be brought first, whether it was beer or sake, to be brought first.

The patrolmen all praised Watanabe for his heroism. The latter laughed heartily, slammed the table and said that he would not go home until he was drunk, and everyone joined in the cheering.

"It's great to be young." Senmu Yalan sighed.

Fengjian Takusai was stunned for a second or two before he realized that she was talking to him. He said "hmm" and sighed, "Yeah, it's good to be young."

"I'm not that old, am I?" Senmu Yalan frowned.

"Uh, that's not what I meant..." Feng Jiantuo thought to himself, wasn't it you who started it? How come it suddenly became my fault?
"Just kidding."

Senmu Yalan opened the disposable chopsticks, took a bite of the side dish, and said indifferently: "Be happy, smile, no one will look down on you, and today is not a heavy day."

Takuya Kazama didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say. Mori Mu Yalan felt that the "dejection" in him was surging, and felt that if she got closer, she would be assimilated into a decadent uncle. Without waiting for Takuya Kazama to adjust his mood, she suddenly elbowed him, hitting him in the side of his waist, causing him to gasp in pain.

"What are you doing?!" Kazama Takusai lowered his voice.

"Cheer up and don't look so hopeless! I'm counting on you seniors to set a good example for the patrolmen!"

Morimu Yalan showed a 'kind' smile and said in a threatening tone: "You are an elite criminal police officer. Even if you resign, you should at least act like an elite, right? Cheer up! I don't care what you have been through. Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be successful in your career and have a fulfilling life!"

Hearing this, Kazama Takusai smiled bitterly: "I know."

He paused, raised his voice, and announced loudly: "The next round of drinks is on me!"

Upon hearing this, the patrolmen cheered in unison and applauded Senior Kazama.

Nowadays, Japanese workplaces have two drinking parties. The first party is a pub party, where the meal is the biggest expense; the second party is a bar or karaoke, where the drinks are the biggest expense. Unexpectedly, the seniors paid for all the expenses of this party. The patrolmen suddenly felt that they had a bright future and might become such generous criminal policemen in the future.

The waiters brought the dishes one after another and each person was given a large glass of malt beer. As they ate and drank, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

When everyone talked about interesting things at work and complained about the hard training, Chief Moriki did not spoil the fun. Instead, he reviewed himself with an embarrassed look on his face, and then claimed that he was doing it for the good of his subordinates. The patrolmen were deeply moved and felt that transferring to the Sugamo Koban was the best choice in their lives.

As we chatted, the topic inexplicably started to go in a strange direction:

"By the way, there have been a lot of religious groups appearing in Sugamo recently."

"Oh! Are you talking about the Tianli Sect? They also stopped me and started preaching to me when I was on patrol..."

"There are also the Zhengyin Temple, Shengyun Temple, Zhiquan Temple, Baiquan Temple, Sozen Temple, Dongguangan, Anle Temple, and Hofu Temple... ah, there are too many to count."

"That's what I mean. I don't even know if he's a legitimate monk!"

"But I think the Aum Shinrikyo cult is quite interesting. I heard that the cult leader has superpowers and can levitate in mid-air!"

"Are you a bastard? You can tell it's fake right away..."

……

While the patrolmen were chatting, Yuan Yuzi's cell phone suddenly rang. She walked out of the pub quickly and answered the call on the relatively quiet street.

"Really? Thank you! Sorry for bothering you, I'll treat you to a small cake some other day..."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Yuzi hurried back and leaned over to whisper something to Fushimi Kaka. The latter's face changed slightly, and everyone noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and they consciously quieted down.

"Sorry, a case has come up, so we have to leave first." Fushimi Shika took out his wallet and paid the bill: "Everyone, continue. We'll meet again next time."

Gen Tamako was pushing a wheelchair. When Fushimika passed by Takusa Kazama, she motioned for him to follow her because she had something private to tell him. Takusa Kazama was stunned. He glanced at Gen Tamako, stood up without saying a word, and seemed ready to leave early. Seeing this, Watanabe Shun quickly put down his wine glass and shouted that he wanted to go investigate the case together.

The patrolmen looked at the backs of the four people and felt that this scene was like a classic scene in a TV series: the protagonists suddenly received a mysterious phone call, and left the banquet in a hurry to save the world, leaving the ignorant minions to continue eating, drinking and having fun...

They all felt that "this is what an elite detective should be like."
