Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 437 Making a Great Cause

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the living room of the apartment.

It was unusually quiet all around; even Hira Sakurako inside the room didn't make a sound.

The only sounds in the living room were heavy breathing and rapid heartbeats.

The lights had dimmed at some point, with only faint moonlight filtering through the cracks in the windows.

Yuan Yuzi lay face down on the sofa, her right hand hanging limply at her sides, her breathing unusually heavy.

After a 20-minute examination, Fushimi-kun confirmed that she was fine, but she was completely unable to stand up.

"No, didn't we agree... we couldn't touch strange... places?"

Minamoto no Tamako didn't look up. Her speech was mumbled, but Fushimi Shika still understood her.

“I didn’t touch it, you know that.” Fushimi Shika wiped his hands and said, “It’s just a routine check-up, your body is too sensitive.”

Minamoto no Tamako couldn't refute it. Fushimi Shika hadn't done anything out of line, but the way Fushimi Shika pressed her fingers was too bizarre, causing a tingling sensation in her connected meridians every time... and after pressing and pressing, it turned into this state.

She felt that if she moved even slightly, the dam would burst.

Before Minamoto no Tamako could recover, Fushimi Shika's fingers were placed on her cervical spine again, gently tracing down her spine and back.

"Oh hoo..."

Genji trembled as if electrocuted. She finally raised her head, her eyes misting over, and pleaded softly, "No... please stop..."

"Don't want what?" Fushimi Shika leaned down slightly, tilted his head close to her ear, and whispered seductively, "You really don't want it?"

Minamoto Tamako felt like she was listening to AMSR; she could sense Fushimi-kun's presence in her cochlea. Her mind went completely blank: "I...I..."

"Then I'll take it as your acquiescence."

Fushimi Shika's sinister hand grew increasingly restless.

Yuan Yuzi was powerless to stop it; she was unable to think clearly, and it was already difficult for her to suppress her physical instincts.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, Fushimi Shika couldn't help but say a few sweet nothings, such as, "You look so beautiful tonight," "I really like you," and "It would be so great to be your boyfriend..."

Genjitama blushed deeply, and Fushimi Shika himself was also embarrassed. He regretted what he said as soon as he finished, wondering why he had said such a thing. He guessed it was because his little head was controlling his big head.

In short, getting down to business is the most important thing.

Just as Fushimi Shika had wiped off his socks and hadn't even had a chance to take off his clothes, the landline phone rang.

Undeterred, he thought that at least a kiss would be a major breakthrough. Unexpectedly, when Minamoto no Tamako heard the bell, she panicked and, seeing that Fushimi Shika was about to kiss her, quickly covered her mouth, so that the latter only kissed the back of her hand.

"Leave it alone."

Fushimi Shika urged, "Let's continue..."

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang.

Fushimi Shika wanted nothing more than to smash his phone. He pulled it out, answered the call, and wanted to see which guy was so blind as to ruin his plans at such a crucial moment.

"Moses Moses."

Kujou's voice came through.

Fushimi Shika suddenly snapped out of it, his intelligence regaining its dominance. He sat up straight, glanced at Minamoto no Tamako, and tried to keep his tone calm so that Kujo Yui wouldn't sense his guilt: "Commander Kujo? What's the matter so late?"

Kujo Yui naturally wouldn't mention the surveillance footage. To avoid arousing Fushimi Shika's suspicion, she brought up official business: "Did you know that the Sugamo Police Station recently established a Narcotics Investigation Division?"

"Uh……"

Fushimi Shika has always been a man of few words: he doesn't care about things he can manage, because those things don't need his attention; he doesn't care about things he can't manage, because he can't control them; and he doesn't care about things his superiors ask him to manage, because he doesn't want to.

"Have you been too lazy lately?" Kujo asked resentfully.

Fushimi Shika had no idea what had gotten into her. She had never cared about this before, so why did she suddenly decide to reorganize the workplace tonight?
Moreover, as the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, why would Kujo Yui meddle in the work of a mere detective? Is she just bored?
Fushimi Shika was beginning to suspect something, but he hadn't yet figured out why.

Before he could even offer a perfunctory reply, Kujo Yui continued her reprimand: "Don't think I don't know that you've been using Tamako's connections to hold a position in the police station without doing anything, showing no respect for your superiors and doing whatever you want... I'm making this call to give you a warning."

As she spoke, Kujo Yui emphasized, "Even if you and Tamako are a couple, it doesn't mean you can enjoy special privileges. Within the Metropolitan Police Department, no one can enjoy special privileges, do you understand?"

"..."

Fushimi Shika remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Minamoto Tamako. Upon hearing that it was Mama-chan calling, the latter hurriedly tidied her clothes and staggered back to her room.

He sighed, thinking that there was definitely no chance tonight, and could only honestly reply, "Understood."

"And then what? You just say you understand?" Kujo Yui questioned, "Do you know how much pressure I'm under? How many people are watching me every day? Do you know what kind of impact your actions will have on the Kujo family's reputation?"

Fushimi Shika was in a real bind. He wasn't even married to Minamoto no Tamako yet; they were just dating. And this was already affecting the Kujo family's reputation.

What, are people secretly saying things like, "The rich heiress of the Kujo family is dating a slacker, how lame!", "Yeah, yeah, let's all discriminate against the Kujo family!", "Looks like the Kujo family is doomed..."

Fushimi Shika, not wanting to kiss his boss, could only reply evasively, "Uh, I'll come to work as usual tomorrow and do my job diligently..."

"Anything else?" Kujo Yui asked.

Fushimi Shikashin thought to himself, "What else could it be? How can I be your daughter's dog in my spare time? Do I have to be your dog when I'm at work?"

He briefly considered his superior's intentions and tentatively asked, "And... join the Narcotics Investigation Division?"

“Hmm,” Kujo Yui said noncommittally, but judging from her tone, she probably answered correctly: “I’m very pleased that you’re so proactive. I hope you can have a brilliant performance in the investigation department.”

"..."

Fushimi Shika really wanted to say that he didn't want to go on a drug bust, much less fight drug dealers in the streets, but since he had already said it, he couldn't take it back. He could only say tactfully, "Tamako has taken the next few days off, and I want to take care of her for a while..."

“It’s alright, I’ll send a caregiver and a rehabilitation therapist over,” Kujou Yui said decisively.

Fushimi Shika wished he could slap himself. If outsiders came to his house, how could he and Minamoto no Tamako continue to take things to the next level? It would be a miracle if their relationship didn't cool down!
He could only be honest and say, "This mission is far too dangerous. As you know, I've always loved being on the front lines, fighting against evil; but now I have something to worry about. I'm afraid I might die in the line of duty. For Tamako, this is..."

“That’s wonderful.” Kujo Yui interrupted, “The entire Metropolitan Police Department has seen it. If you perform bravely, you will naturally be commended.”

"..."

Fushimi Shika opened his mouth and said, "In that case, I plan to resign. As you know, my days are numbered, so it's more important to enjoy life."

"Is that so? That's really a pity..." Kujo Yui paused, then said in a flat tone, "I was originally planning to take you to see the head of the family if you achieved good results in this operation, and consider letting you marry into the Kujo family... Since you plan to resign, then forget it. The Kujo family doesn't need a coward who backs down."

"Marry into the family?" Fushimi Shika raised an eyebrow.

“You can keep your surname if you want,” Kujo Yui said, “but that was just the original plan.”

Fushimi Shikama felt that officials were corrupt, even using their own daughters as bargaining chips, but Fushimi Shikama just couldn't refuse the price offered by Kujo Yui.

He hadn't forgotten that Minamoto Tamako planned to use that 'ill-gotten gain' to hire all the famous detectives and police inspectors in Japan to solve the mystery of the Heavenly Punishment and find the real murderer... This matter was very important to Minamoto Tamako, as it concerned her promise to Kawai, and she would never give it up.

For now, Fushimi Shika is lying that he is going to die, temporarily diverting Minamoto Tamako's attention. But when the lie is exposed, his relationship with Minamoto Tamako may not be able to progress further, and at the same time, Minamoto Tamako will have enough energy to do this.

Therefore, Fushimi Shika actually had a sense of urgency in his heart. He was eager to get closer to Minamoto no Tamako and seek the security of an intimate relationship.

At the same time, he knew in his heart that once Yuan Yuzi discovered the truth, he would have no way to stop this landmine.

If I could marry Minamoto no Tamako, there might be room for maneuver.

By then, they will have already consummated their relationship and might even have a child... For the sake of the child, Yuan Yuzi might compromise. She can't let her child be without a father, can she?
Just as Fushimi Shika had sorted out his thoughts, the devil Kawai popped up and clamored in his ear: "Marrying into the Kujo family doesn't necessarily mean you have to marry Minamoto Tamako. I think Kujo Yui is still quite charming..."

Fushimi Shika slapped the demon Kawai away, cleared his throat, and replied, "But then again, plans are just plans. Now I feel that in the last period of my life, I should do something great and spectacular, so that I won't have lived in vain!"

"hehe."

Kujo Yui laughed. She was quite satisfied with Fushimi Shika's shamelessness. She had long thought that if this guy had any ambition, he would be very suitable to be a politician.

Fushimi Shika, seemingly unfazed, continued to speak eloquently, claiming that his passion for the police cause was no less than that of Minamoto Tamako, otherwise Minamoto Tamako would not have taken a liking to him and regarded him as a formidable rival, partner, and confidant.

Kujo Yui couldn't take it anymore. She softened her tone and said, "Work hard in the investigation department. If you can truly prove your abilities, the Kujo family will not treat you unfairly."

Fushimi Shika nodded in agreement, exchanged a few more polite words, and then hung up the phone.

He casually tossed his phone aside, lay down on the sofa, and sighed deeply.

I'm going to be busy again...

While he was on the phone, Minamoto no Tamako took a shower, changed into her pajamas, suppressed her feelings of longing, and peeked out to eavesdrop on Mama-chan's phone call with Fushimi-kun.

She had naturally heard about the marriage proposal, but she did not object.

Before Mama-chan made this request, Fushimi-kun said he planned to resign. Minamoto no Tamako didn't want Fushimi-kun to resign, but there was nothing she could do to stop him. Indeed, as Fushimi-kun said, he didn't have much time left in his life, and it was understandable that he wanted to enjoy it.

Aside from offering this condition, it seems Fushimi-kun has no other reason to work hard.

Gentamako was not opposed to this; in fact, she was quite happy about it.

Fushimi-kun volunteered to join the Narcotics Investigation Division in order to marry me, intending to fight on the front lines and prove that his abilities were worthy of the Kujo family's daughter... Could there be anything more romantic than this!

Moreover, Fushimi Shika's words resonated deeply with her, such as "In the last period of one's life, one should do something great and spectacular" and "My passion for the police career is no less than that of Minamoto Tamako"... Kujo Yui just thought he was talking nonsense, but Minamoto Tamako took it seriously and was deeply moved by it.

Unfortunately, she injured her buttocks and couldn't join the investigation department with Fushimi-kun.

Yuan Yuzi was a little disappointed. She hated that her body was not cooperating and wanted to get better as soon as possible. To do this, she had to rest well and recharge her energy so that her body could recover faster.

With that thought in mind, she closed the door and prepared to go to bed.

To avoid putting strain on her bottom, Gentamako planned to sleep on her stomach tonight. She placed a pillow under her chest, her hands under her cheeks, and closed her eyes, looking like a caterpillar.

On the other side, Fushimi Shika sighed for a while, lamenting that the happy times were gone forever, and tomorrow would be another day of working like a slave.

To make sure he was well-rested, he decided to go to bed early tonight.

Fushimi Shika went back to his room to take a shower and then went to bed.

After falling into a deep sleep, he vaguely heard a voice in his ear repeatedly asking him: 'What do you want?' 'What do you want to become?'...

He had a vague urge to sleep more deeply and have a lucid dream where he could do whatever he wanted.

But this time, Minamoto no Tamako was not in the dream, and Fushimi Shika did not heed the voice.

He simply had a wet dream.

Perhaps he hadn't finished what he needed to do last night, which resulted in him having to clean the sheets the next morning. Now that he's in his twenties, it's quite remarkable that he still has the physical reactions of a teenager; he feels proud of it when he washes the sheets.

It was unusual for Minamoto no Tamako not to get up early; she had taken the day off yesterday, so she didn't set an alarm this morning. Fushimi Shika was also glad that she didn't get up early, otherwise she would have found out about the bed sheets.

After he washed up, Hira Sakurako also got ready to leave for school.

The brother and sister went out together, one after the other downstairs; this time, Hirai Sakura didn't need to push the wheelchair. Looking at the constant flow of traffic on the street, Fushimi Shika asked Hirai Sakura while waiting at a red light, "Do you think we should buy a car for transportation?"

"Didn't you mention this before?" Hira Sakurako retorted.

"Take it or leave it." Fushimi Shika gave her a choice.

"Of course." Ping Yingzi doesn't like crowds, and if she can take a car, she naturally doesn't want to walk to school.

"So, what do you think I should do to buy a car?" Fushimi Shika asked.

“Buy it with money.” Hira Sakurako thought he was talking nonsense.

"Where did the money come from?" Fushimi Shika pressed.

"Aren't you rich? You came from Cat Island." Ping Yingzi found him inexplicable.

"How am I going to explain this money to Minamoto no Tamako?" Fushimi Shika finally revealed his true intentions.

"How would I know?" Hira Sakurako was still angry about yesterday, and she disliked Fushimi Shika very much now.

Fushimi Shika stroked his chin, thinking to himself that it was time to put the money laundering plan on the agenda.

After dropping off Hirako, he took a taxi to the police station, clocked in for work as usual, and took the initiative to mention to Section Chief Kinoshita that he wanted to join the Narcotics Investigation Division.

Section Chief Kinoshita wanted to refuse, but he said in a tactful tone, "The situation is more complicated than we thought. The fact that those addicts can't test positive for drugs suggests it's likely a new type of drug. We need experienced officers..."

“This is Commander Kujo’s intention,” Fushimi Shika interrupted.

Since Kujo allowed him to buy and sell jobs, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"Oh, that's perfect, the investigation department is short-staffed!" Kinoshita Shojin said with an awkward laugh.
