Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 444 Meatball Impact
Yuan Yuzi was curious; she wanted to know what was recorded on the tape, but she also felt that it belonged to someone else and she shouldn't touch it.

What if Uesugi Shion used to dictate her diary? If she eavesdropped, wouldn't that be an invasion of her privacy?

Mentally ill people have human rights too!
After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Yuzi put the tape back.

She tidied up Uesugi Shion's room, feeling exhausted. She went back to her room, took a shower, lay on her back on the bed, and stared blankly for a while, feeling the emptiness beside her bed.

When Yuan Yuzi turned around, she saw that Ping Yingzi was not on the bed. She sat up and noticed that the cardboard box next to the bed was swaying back and forth.

“You can go to bed,” Genko patted the bed. “Fushimi-kun probably won’t be back tonight…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Minamoto no Tamako belatedly realized that from tonight until Uesugi Shion moved out, she and Fushimi-kun would be sleeping in the same bed and living in the same room!

Ughh ...
Gentamako's ahoge stood up, and she rolled around on the bed hugging her pillow.

Ping Yingzi peeked out of the cardboard box. She didn't know why Yuan Yuzi suddenly went crazy halfway through her conversation. She felt that this scene was worth observing and recording, so she secretly took out a small video camera, held it next to her right eye, and calmly filmed Yuan Yuzi performing her invincible whirlwind on the bed.

"Stop, stop filming!"

Yuan Yuzi noticed her little movement, hurriedly got out of bed, and blocked the camera with her hand: "Why are you filming me?!"

“Keep it as a memento. If you die, I won’t forget your face,” Hira Sakurako retorted. “Why are you rolling around in bed?”

"I...I'm doing yoga..."

Genji told a clumsy lie.

Ping Yingzi didn't expose her. Since Yuan Yuzi didn't want the recording to continue, she didn't insist. She silently shrank back into the cardboard box and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

"I won't bother you, come to bed and sleep together!" Minamoto Tamako likes to sleep with Sakura in her arms, it feels like hugging a human-shaped pillow, soft and comfortable.

"Let's not do it. What if Fushimi Shika comes back in the middle of the night?" Hira Sakurako asked.

Gentamako initially wanted to suggest that Fushimi sleep on the sofa, but then she thought that it was really unfair that Fushimi, who had been working all night on a secret mission, didn't even have a bed to sleep in when he got home.

"All right……"

Yuan Yuzi lay back on the bed, her mind gradually calming down.

It was just sleeping together; she and Fushimi-kun had slept together before. Besides, Hira-sakura was also in the room, so Fushimi-kun couldn't possibly do anything out of line.

Yeah, I'm just sleeping.

Gen Tamako turned over. She recalled the last time she slept with Fushimi-kun and felt a strange emptiness in her heart. She felt a little lonely sleeping alone.

If only it were winter now, when it's freezing outside, she and Fushimi-kun could snuggle together under the covers and have a legitimate reason to cuddle... Last time she was too embarrassed to get close to Fushimi-kun, which was a little regrettable.

As she pondered, drowsiness overcame her, and Yuan Yuzi drifted off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Minamoto no Tamako and Hirako were fast asleep when a strange noise suddenly came from outside the room, as if something was gently tapping the wall.

Genji threw back the covers, rubbed her eyes, and asked softly, "Sakurako?"

"Hmm?" Hira Sakura's voice drifted from inside the cardboard box.

"Are you knocking on the wall?" Gen Tamako asked.

"No, I thought it was you." Hira Sakurako was also woken up.

Minamoto Tamako thought to herself that there were only three people in the house. If it wasn't her and Hirako, then it was probably Uesugi Shion... If it were Fushimi-kun who came back, he wouldn't be banging on the wall out of boredom. He would most likely go straight to take a shower and go to bed, or sprawl on the sofa drinking cola and watching TV.

Dr. Miyazaki had instructed that the patient could contact her at any time if any special circumstances arose. Although it was 3 a.m., Minamoto Tamako felt it wasn't good to disturb her sleep, but she really couldn't do anything about Uesugi Shion and didn't dare to provoke the mentally ill patient. So she could only take out her small phone and type a text message to Miyazaki Yuuko.

She originally thought that Miyazaki Yuuko wouldn't reply, or wouldn't reply until the next morning, but to her surprise, Miyazaki Yuuko replied instantly:
Please explain in detail.

Minamoto no Tamako had no idea what Uesugi Shion was up to, so she couldn't explain in detail. In order to give Dr. Miyazaki an accurate answer, she had no choice but to get up and go see what was going on, even if it was a bit nerve-wracking.

"Moses Moses..."

Wearing a watermelon hat and holding a clothes fork, Yuan Yuzi tiptoed into the room.

She initially made a watermelon hat by hand as a prop for cosplay; later, she felt that the watermelon hat was very shockproof and that it was a waste to throw away the watermelon rind, so she kept making watermelon hats.

Every time she finishes eating a watermelon, Tamako produces a watermelon hat.

Right now, Minamoto no Tamako was on high alert, fearing that Uesugi Shion might jump out from a corner and attack her. She quickly and silently crossed the living room, her expression as if a ghost was chasing her, and in a flash ran to the wall and turned on the light switch.

The living room lights came on, a bit too brightly.

Gen Tamako squinted, looked around, and finally found Uesugi Shion.

The latter was in an upside-down position, with her hands supporting her on the ground, her legs against the outer wall of her room, her hair hanging down to the ground, and the hem of her clothes sliding down.

Yes, a little older than her.

Genji asked tentatively, "What...are you doing?"

Uesugi Shion didn't reply. The two looked at each other in confusion. Her arms gave way and she fell to the ground with a thud. She lay flat and meditated for a while before getting back into position. She braced herself against the wall, pushed off with her feet, and did a handstand against the wall.

Genji finally understood where the soft thumping sounds were coming from.

She stared at Uesugi Shion and texted Miyazaki Yuuko on her pink flip phone, detailing the situation. The latter replied as follows:

"She's exposing her belly because she wants someone to play with her. Just play with her for a while, and try not to upset her."

Playing with mentally ill people?

Gen Tamako looked up and met Uesugi Shion's gaze once again.

How can we play together?

It's 3 a.m., and she's so sleepy she just wants to keep sleeping.

But if left unattended, Uesugi Shion will be doing handstands outside, banging her heels and body against the wall, which will also keep her awake.

Yuan Yuzi used to have a dog, not Ajun, but a silly and stubborn Shiba Inu.

When the puppy first came to the house, it also liked to howl in the middle of the night to attract its owner to come out and play with it, or it would scratch at the door, wanting to sleep with its owner. At the time, Yuan Yuzi found it both annoying and heartbreaking, and now she feels the same way again.

Fine, I'll play with her for a while.

Once Uesugi Shion is tired from all the commotion, she will naturally go back to her room to sleep.

Minamoto no Tamako felt guilty, after all, she had accidentally let Uesugi Shion drink Nue tea, so she was more patient with Uesugi Shion, treating her as if she were taking care of a mentally challenged child.

"Yoshi yoshi, good boy good boy~"

Genji Tamako cautiously approached and poked Uesugi Shion's waist with a clothes fork. The latter felt ticklish, couldn't help but squirm, and frowned, looking quite displeased.

Yuan Yuzi felt that what she was doing was impolite, so she quickly put down the clothes fork.

She originally wanted to play with Uesugi Shion, but now she's made Uesugi Shion unhappy... Isn't this indirectly provoking a mental patient?! Genji Tamako took a deep breath, warning herself that she couldn't continue like this.

She must soothe Uesugi Shion's emotions, reach a consensus with her, and understand what she is trying to say so that they can get along better in the future, and even have a chance to figure out the antidote for Nue tea!
For Fushimi-kun's sake, and so that she can get a good night's sleep in the future, she must do her best to play with Uesugi Shion!
Genjiro made up her mind, switched to work mode, propped her chin up with her index finger and thumb, and began to think from Uesugi Shion's perspective.

How exactly do I get to play with Uesugi Shion?

Suddenly, Yuan Yuzi had a flash of inspiration. She remembered an old joke in the newspaper about a doctor who saw a patient squatting in the corner of his room every day with an umbrella. In order to understand the patient's mental world, the doctor also squatted down next to him with an umbrella. After more than a while, the patient finally spoke and asked the doctor, "Are you a mushroom too?"

This joke prompted Minamoto Tamako to reflect on "understanding differences," suggesting that sometimes companionship and empathy are more powerful than forceful correction.

With that in mind, Minamoto no Tamako decided to do a handstand with Uesugi Shion!

Perhaps after she does a handstand, Uesugi Shion will take the initiative to talk to her; or perhaps after she does a handstand, she will understand what Uesugi Shion is thinking!

Gen Tamako took a deep breath, braced her hands against the wall, and pushed off forcefully, causing her body to stand upside down against the wall.

The world seemed to spin upside down in her eyes.

Uesugi Shion turned her face away, looking at her in surprise; Minamoto Tamako, on the other hand, looked determined, trying to understand the thoughts of a mental patient.

"..."

The two were silent for a minute.

Uesugi Shion suddenly released her grip, her feet touched the ground, and she stood up again.

Under Minamoto no Tamako's astonished gaze, Uesugi Shion suddenly reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her back.

“Hey hey hey!!”

Genjiro crawled on her hands, alternating between them, trying to maintain her balance. She tried to pull her feet back, but Uesugi Shion grabbed her calves with her arms, forcing her to maintain a stroller-like position.

"Hahahahaha!!"

Uesugi Shion, with the handle of the 'trolley' tucked under her arm, ran around the living room laughing; Minamoto Tamako didn't care about scolding her at all, and with her hands flying in afterimages, she crawled upside down quickly, afraid that Uesugi Shion would knock her face down.

How could it have turned out like this?!
Gen Tamako completely gave up. Normal people simply cannot understand the thought process of a mentally ill person. All she wanted to do now was to break free from Uesugi Shion's grip as soon as possible and continue climbing. She would eventually be exhausted!

"Let go! Let go now!" Yuan Yuzi shouted.

Uesugi Shion completely ignored her, or rather, she didn't understand what Minamoto Tamako was saying at all.

She drove the 'trolley' around the living room a few times, then, feeling a bit bored, she suddenly stopped.

Yuan Yuzi took the opportunity to pant heavily; those few laps had almost exhausted her.

Before she could catch her breath, Uesugi Shion suddenly turned around and pushed her toward Jun, who was lying in the corner watching the show.

"Woof woof woof woof woof!!"

Ah Jun was startled, his paws slipped on the spot, and he hurriedly dodged; seeing this, Uesugi Shion urged the Tamako brand stroller to chase after him, determined to make Ah Jun fly away.

"Help! Sakurako, help me!!" Minamoto Tamako cried out for help.

She was about to give up; her arms, from the strenuous upside-down crawling, were now as sore as two noodles. If she continued running, she would have to use her face to brake.

Hearing cries for help, Hira Sakurako went out of the room to check the situation.

Seeing this, she didn't rush to help immediately. Instead, she took out the video camera again, pointed it at the two people and the dog in the living room, and calmly encouraged them, "Go for it! Yuzi, I believe you can do it."

"What do you mean 'can't'?! I can't do it anymore!!" Minamoto Tamako shouted.

"How can you become a famous detective or police inspector without going through grueling training?" Hira Sakurako thought the two of them were doing some kind of special physical training.

"What kind of hellish training? It's Uesugi Shion acting crazy!" Minamoto Tamako was almost in tears: "Stop her!"

Upon hearing this, Ping Yingzi placed the video camera on the ground, found an excellent angle to shoot from below, and walked over aggressively like a cowboy facing a bull.

Uesugi Shion sensed the presence of someone of her kind; the newcomer was no ordinary person. She immediately stopped and stared intently at Hira Sakurako with a serious expression.

Ping Yingzi also stood opposite her, clenching her small fists as if staring at a tiger.

The living room suddenly fell silent, the two men's gazes burning with aggression, like bounty hunters facing off in a desert.

Only Minamoto no Tamako remained, panting heavily as she supported herself on the ground.

With a thud, the watermelon hat on Gen Tamako's head fell off and rolled between the two of them like a tumbleweed.

"Drink!!"

With a sudden shout, Uesugi Shion pushed Minamoto Tamako and charged towards Hira Sakurako!

"Come!!"

Hira Sakurako responded with a thunderous shout, assuming a sumo wrestler's stance to meet Uesugi Shion's fleshy impact!
In the blink of an eye, the three were about to collide when Hira Sakura suddenly stepped to the side, letting Gentama pass, and then swept her leg, hitting Uesugi Shion's ankle squarely.

With her restraints gone, Minamoto no Tamako collapsed to the ground with a thud. Gasping for breath, she looked back and saw Uesugi Shion, unable to stop her momentum, trip over her foot and also fall to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment, Hira Sakura rushed over and braced Uesugi Shion's legs with both hands, instantly reversing the roles of offense and defense, with Uesugi Shion now relegated to a pushcart. The latter looked utterly dejected, giving off the vibe of a female knight defeated by a goblin.

"Ah... phew..."

Yuan Yuzi rolled over and lay on the ground. She felt her heart rate had just soared to 180 miles per hour.

While she lay on the floor recovering, Hira Sakurako rode Uesugi Shion's stroller back and forth in the living room, like a goblin showing off her spoils.

Uesugi Shion did not resist, but kept her head down and crawled on her hands in silence.

"What are you doing?" Gen Tamako asked, looking up.

“Isn’t that obvious enough?” Hira Sakurako retorted. “I thought you had already understood the rules of the game.”

"……what?"

Genji was puzzled.

“Whoever gets their legs grabbed has to be the dog,” Hira Sakurako said calmly. “I’m walking my dog ​​right now, so don’t bother me.”

"..."

Genji's ahoge (cowlick) was practically turning into a question mark: "Didn't you just think I was doing some kind of special training? You made up these game rules yourself, didn't you?"

“You can tell from her expression. As expected, ordinary people still can’t understand,” Hira Sakurako shook her head with a tsk tsk, and said to Uesugi Shion, “Come on, say it.”

"Woof woof woof woof!" Uesugi Shion shouted in perfect unison.

"..."
