Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 289, Not for You~
"Finally, I can rest! I'm exhausted!"

In the Special Missions Unit of Sakuradamon, Minami-sama excitedly sprawled on the table: "Vacation, vacation, vacation~ Hakone, Hakone, Hakone~ Hooray! Two nights, three days, desu!"

"I haven't complained about being tired yet, why are you complaining?" Uesugi Muneyuki had a cup of coffee with his father-in-law in the morning to discuss the vacation, and then he returned to the Special Missions Unit to inform them of it.

Inspector Okada neither confirmed nor denied the news. He said it would be best if he could take a vacation, but it wouldn't be too bad if he didn't. After hearing the news, he went to the Second Investigation Division to give some instructions and then prepared to go home after get off work.

Ikeda Erena didn't care. In her opinion, as long as she was with Uesugi Muneyuki, that was enough. Erena's world was different from others. Others had a lot of their own lives besides going to work, but for Erena, once she left Uesugi Muneyuki and returned to her own world, she had no idea what to do except exercise.

"What? I'm tired too, okay? Even though I didn't go to the front lines, I had all sorts of things to do back home—signing reports and documents, coordinating logistics... Finally, I can rest!" Minami hummed casually. "Anyway, I've finally got a vacation, and I've been wanting to go to Hakone for ages! Oh, the autumn leaves, the Gates of Hell in Owakudani, the black onsen eggs, and Mount Fuji on Lake Ashi, Uesugi, Ikeda—let's go together~"

“I haven’t agreed yet,” Uesugi Muneyuki said with a smile.

"Objection overruled!" Minami grabbed Erena's hand and put her arm around her waist. "If you consider yourself my subordinate, then this is your superior's order and you must obey. If you consider yourself equal to me, then it's a matter of majority rule, two to one. Ikeda, you definitely support me, right?"

“Hmm.” Ikeda Erena sided with Watanabe Minami on this issue. The tall beauty was clearly looking forward to Watanabe Minami’s suggestion, and she naturally knew what would happen: “I support the section chief.”

"Hehe~" Uesugi Muneyuki chuckled and didn't say anything more, which was taken as an agreement: "Then I'll go and talk to the First Investigation Division."

The man left, leaving only Watanabe Minami and Ikeda Erena in the office. Minami's sweet and lovely apple-shaped face was full of mischief, a mixture of anticipation and shyness. She seemed to have made up her mind: "Ikeda?"

"Hmm?" Reina Ikeda responded blankly, though the tall beauty's heart had actually flown to Hakone.

"Didn't I tell you last time? You have to help me!" Minami's face gradually turned redder and redder. She weakly grabbed Erena's hand: "I can't do it alone."

"You...have you thought it through?" Erena was particularly quick to react to these kinds of things. A blush rose on the tall, beautiful woman's face as she thought to herself that this day had finally come. Her expression was somewhat complicated.

"Well, it's about time." Minami nodded gently. "Would you like to start a family with me and Uesugi?"

"I..." Erena thought to herself, at this point, did she still have a reason to refuse? But she felt embarrassed to say it out loud: "I had no choice, it was your request, so I could only..."

It was at this time that Mikoto Ishihara returned.

The forensic beauty, dressed in an elegant and demure black pearl-embellished shirt and pencil skirt with a white coat over it, strode into the Special Missions Unit with her beautiful feet in black patent leather high heels and stockings, her expression revealing her excitement: "I just ran into Uesugi. He said we're going to have an emergency two-week leave? Really?"

“Really.” Miss Minami put her arm around Erena’s waist. The two policewomen, one tall and one short, one sweet and one mature, formed a beautiful scene. “Father approved our annual leave. We’re planning to go to Hakone Onsen for two nights and three days.”

"That's really great!" The forensic pathologist was so moved she almost cried. "It's so good to be a government employee. At least I can enjoy some benefits, like the Metropolitan Police Department's women's dormitory and annual leave."

"Hmm?" Minami tilted her head. "Ms. Ishihara, it's our Special Missions Unit taking annual leave. What does it have to do with you?"

"Huh?!" Mikoto was stunned.

"The leave Father approved for us was for the Special Missions Division, which includes Division Chief Watanabe Minami, Acting Division Chief Okada Masayoshi, Forensic Officer Uesugi Muneyuki, and Patrol Chief Ikeda Erena. It doesn't include the forensic assistant Ishihara Mikoto," Minami said with a sly smile, her cute apple-shaped face down and her sweet almond-shaped eyes up, looking exactly like a mischievous little fox. "Since we're on leave, Miss Ishihara, you can stay behind and keep watch."

Sorry, there's none for you!
You bitch who rejected Zong Xuejun's marriage proposal and treated me, whom you cherished like a treasure, like trash, taste the methods of this young lady! Kora!

"Hey???"

Mikoto Ishihara watched helplessly as Minami and Erena finished their handover and then slipped away, leaving the Special Missions Unit empty.

You're not taking me on vacation? You're not taking me to the Hakone hot springs?

But before she could think any further, a phone call had already reached the Special Missions Department.

It was Nakado, a forensic pathologist from the forensic department. He still had that tired and world-weary tone: "If you're here, hurry up and come down! We have a case!"

When Mikoto Ishihara arrived at the forensic department, she was stunned by the scene before her.

A row of handcarts filled the entire corridor with fifty or sixty oversized cardboard boxes, and a mountain of second-stage forensic examination requests covered the forensic department's desk. When the three forensic pathologists from the forensic department, Higashiyama Takeshi, Kamioka Hideo, and Nakado Kei, saw her arrive, they all smiled maliciously.

Are you coming?
Get to work! You female forensic pathologist who got in through connections with Uesugi Muneyuki, we've finally caught you!
"Your Special Missions Unit has been doing something really big lately. Right now, all the secondary investigation applications from all over Japan are going to the Metropolitan Police Department. Ms. Ishihara, could you please talk to the First Investigation Division and tell them to stop doing this kind of thing?" Takeshi Higashiyama complained. "Are you trying to make us busy enough? The work of the forensic department is already exhausting enough, and you're just making things worse for us!"

"Don't worry, Section Chief Watanabe of the Special Missions Division has already agreed. The Special Missions Division will be on leave for the next two weeks, and Ms. Ishihara will be temporarily transferred to our forensic department to help out." Nakado said with a hint of sarcasm, "Please take good care of me for the next two weeks, Ms. Ishihara."

"No way? So many?" Ishihara Mikoto knew that each cardboard box contained a case file, and the forensic beauty swallowed hard.

"So many? This is only a small part of it." Nakado walked to the window and gestured for Mikoto to look down.

Below, two large trucks are loading and unloading goods, which are also boxes of cardboard.

"Aaaaaaah!" Mikoto Ishihara broke down.

Why can they go on a two-week vacation to Hakone Onsen, while I have to be seconded to the forensic department to work as an assistant to Nakado and his ilk?
Minami is taking revenge for personal reasons! It's using her position for personal vendettas! It's workplace bullying, it's...

Mikoto suddenly understood the meaning behind Minami's look before she left.

Sorry, there's none for you!
The forensic expert looked at the mountain of cardboard boxes in front of her and the trolleys still being delivered to her in the distance, and felt like crying.

I want a vacation too!
........................

Just as Mikoto began to bury herself in the case files, at the Sakata Bridge Tower in Bunkyo Ward, 1802.

Uesugi Muneyuki and Ikeda Erena began packing their things, preparing to go to Hakone for a vacation.

"Aren't you taking Asuka this time?" Erena was full of anticipation for the trip. The tall beauty felt a series of sharp, cramping pains in her lower abdomen and couldn't wait to get intimate with Uesugi Muneyuki right there.

“Asuka has her final exams coming up soon, and her workload is heavy, so let’s just forget about it.” Uesugi Muneyuki shook his head repeatedly. He thought for a moment and took out a history exam paper: “If her grades are good, I won’t say anything. If her grades are bad, she should just work harder.”

The girl only scored 49 points in the history exam, especially in foreign history, which was a particularly difficult area.

One of the questions is a fun quiz: "Who were the four regents of the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in his early years? Sony, ( ), ( ), ( )?"

Asuka's answer was: Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Toyota, leaving Uesugi Muneyuki both amused and exasperated.

What the heck? How can this be on a history exam? The teacher who set this question must have a twisted sense of humor, deliberately using Chinese characters in the question. Who can understand this?
However, Uesugi Muneyuki remained completely calm; he knew the answer, of course.

It's clearly Sony, Nintendo, Bandai Namco, and Capcom!

"Is that so?" Unfortunately, Uesugi Muneyuki was talking to a brick wall. Erina didn't understand any of this and didn't get the joke. The tall beauty just proudly puffed out her chest.

You won't get any!
What Erena hates most is having someone else at Sakata Bridge. Intimacy between two people is supposed to be a very private matter, but Asuka's presence makes her afraid to be too open.

This trip to Hakone... I really need to... release all the stress I've been accumulating lately...

Erena blushed and stuffed three sets of winning lingerie, along with a bundle of several Wolford Lycra pearlescent silk stockings and French Cervin vintage non-elastic nylon stockings, into her suitcase.

“What a pity. Let’s take Asuka next time. Besides…” Uesugi Muneyuki didn’t notice Erina’s little gesture. He thought to himself, “Besides, we’re going to soak in a hot spring after all.”

"Just soaking in the hot springs?" Erena's bright eyes held a half-smile, filled with a special kind of anticipation.

"Mainly for soaking in hot springs." Uesugi Muneyuki blinked.

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything understood without a word.
