Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 32, Romantic Rain

Ikeda Erena's personality is actually quite extroverted.

Yes, Ikeda Erena looks pessimistic and vigilant, sharp and heroic, can't get along well with anyone, and is known as the boss killer.

But this is just a mask she uses to protect herself.

Because she doesn't have a real friend!

The Japanese, especially Japanese women, have a special term called "reading the air", which means how to hide yourself perfectly in the crowd, blend in with everyone, refuse to attract attention, and refuse to be unique. This is a lesson that almost every female student in junior high school and high school must learn, otherwise it is easy to be excluded and bullied.

However, Ikeda Erena is born unable to "read the air". With her exotic looks and 1.7-meter-tall female giant height, she looks like a Want Want snow cake mixed in with the Want Want buns wherever she goes, so eye-catching.

There are few people of the opposite sex who don't have dirty thoughts about her, and there are few people of the same sex who don't envy her and gossip about her. Those who can compare with Erina in terms of appearance and figure are all arrogant and proud.

Therefore, after suffering repeated setbacks, Erina became extremely cautious and vigilant about the external environment. Not only others, but even Uesugi Sosetsu was one of the victims.

but it does not matter.

The more cautious and vigilant Erina is, the more it proves the position of Uesugi Sosetsu in her heart.

The tall beauty followed Uesugi Sosetsu into the car without hesitation. After getting into the Lexus, Erina said in surprise, "Is this your car?"

"I can't afford this kind of car with my income... This is my father's car." Uesugi Sosetsu said with a smile, "He always said he would stop driving this car and gave it to me to drive, but I didn't want it."

"You can actually drive?" Erina thought that she had always been driving for the past month, and Uesugi Sosetsu had always sat in the passenger seat with peace of mind. She couldn't help but complain a little: "Why don't you take turns driving occasionally? You always let me drive."

"I just don't like driving, but that doesn't mean I can't drive." Uesugi Sosetsu said casually, "There's still some time before the dinner, let's go buy you some clothes first. You're not going to wear this to a restaurant, are you?"

"I haven't agreed to go yet." Ikeda Erena hesitated subconsciously. She stretched out her beautiful long legs in the passenger seat. Even the suit pants could not hide the straightness and length of her legs, and obvious muscle lines could be seen in her thighs.

What a pity, Uesugi Sosetsu muttered to himself.

Only during that incident in the train corpse case did Uesugi Sosetsu have the good fortune to see Erena wearing a police skirt, stockings and high heels. Although the two met almost every weekday in the following month, Erena never dressed like that again. She always wore a standard suit, trousers, casual clothes and leather shoes, which made Uesugi Sosetsu a little disappointed.

"Please give me a chance to thank you." Uesugi Muneyuki said naturally, "We have been partners for a month. My father and mother also want to know who is the policewoman who is my partner. Ikeda-sama, please accept the invitation of the family."

"..." As Ikeda Erena looked at Uesugi Sosetsu's serious request, the resistance on her face eased.

He was indeed very sincere. He came to the police station in person to ask and help me out, and didn't feel like driving to pick me up.

Ikeda Erena thought so and felt a little sweet in her heart.

Especially when she saw that Uesugi Sosetsu's trouser legs were wet because he came to pick her up, Erina lowered her head and said nothing, giving up resisting.

Not answering is also an answer, so Uesugi Sosetsu set off immediately.

God seemed to be blessing the two of them.

Just after the start, the rain became more and more heavy. Amidst the lightning and thunder, the drizzle that had already weakened became heavier again. The water flowing down from the sky was like a column. In the howling wind, the rain kept spinning, sometimes bombarding the windshield, sometimes falling on the roof, and sometimes hitting the window from the side.

But the environment inside the car was very quiet, with cologne lingering in the nose. Uesugi Sosetsu chatted with Erina calmly all the time, talking about cases and some interesting things, and even making Erina smile knowingly. The tall beauty's nervousness slowly dissipated, and she began to enjoy this relaxed atmosphere.

Being alone with Uesugi Sosetsu always makes her involuntarily let go of her disguise and heavy defenses.

However, this atmosphere only lasted for more than ten minutes before we arrived.

Uesugi Sosetsu parked the car, opened the door, got out, opened an umbrella, and trotted to the other door to help Erina get out of the car. It was raining heavily, and the two of them were huddled together, the man was cold and serious, and the woman was tall and sharp.

Anyone who sees them would think they are a couple.

Uesugi Sosetsu's action amazed a group of people who were taking shelter from the rain at the entrance of a hypermarket, especially couples and women, who all subconsciously felt envious.

This is called boyfriend power!

This is what we call a qualified boyfriend!

Uesugi Sosetsu's temperament is cold and majestic. With a height of 1.85 meters and dressed in a suit, he is full of charm under the blessing of the Dharma image of Aizen Myo-o. At this time, he holds an umbrella for Erina, and the two of them form a picturesque scene in the rain.

The strong wind blew the short brown hair around Erina's ears into a mess. Her beautiful and delicate face was tinged with shyness because of Uesugi Sosetsu's hand around her waist. A blush appeared on her face, making her originally sharp eyes soften a lot. There was a hint of shame in her light brown eyes, as if she was blaming Uesugi Sosetsu for the sudden attack, but she also understood that without such an umbrella, it would not be possible to cover two people, so she could only mutter and let the man go again.

Beautiful things will not be covered by the rain, but will become more dazzling because of the expression of their true nature.

At the entrance of the hypermarket, it was pouring rain and the noise was endless.

Under the umbrella, the two of them huddled together and looked at each other as if they had a premonition. Uesugi Sosetsu raised his eyebrows, meaning, "My umbrella is pretty good, isn't it? It's enough to cover the two of us~"
"Puchi~" Erina couldn't help laughing. She rolled her eyes at Uesugi Souji and was too lazy to argue with this guy.

Rainy days seem nice too?
Erina found that she kind of liked rainy days.

This large supermarket is where Uesugi Sosetsu often comes to purchase daily necessities. It is called "GACHIKUN" and is a small CBD in Bunkyo Ward. Due to time constraints, Uesugi Sosetsu took Erena directly to Uniqlo inside and began to choose clothes for Erena for today's dinner.

Uniqlo is the core brand of Fast Retailing. It was established in 1984 as a small clothing store selling suits. Now it has become a household name and one of the Fortune companies. This brand mainly sells affordable work and casual wear with relatively affordable prices. And because there are many categories, there should be clothes that fit Erina's size.

There's no way, Erina is too tall, and it would be difficult to buy clothes for her.

But at this moment, the difference between Uesugi Sosetsu and a normal boyfriend became apparent. He directly seized upon Erena, who had just entered the mall and wanted to go shopping, and pointed at the clock to tell her that there would be a banquet later. Without giving her a chance to observe, he directly called the clerk to choose a slightly more formal outfit for her on his own initiative, and then signaled to Erena that she could go try on clothes.

This simple, direct and purposeful way of buying clothes was originally very much to Erina's liking, but for some reason, she always felt a little lost.

This was a rare opportunity, and she had wanted to go shopping with Uesugi Sosetsu.

They had finally come out together, and she didn't want it to end so soon. She was a little greedy for the time alone together, but Erena also didn't want to attract too much attention and attract criticism. With such complicated emotions, Erena took the clothes handed to her by the clerk and walked into the changing room.

As soon as she spread it out, Erina frowned subconsciously.

Uesugi Sosetsu picked out a fine wool round-neck knitted long-sleeved cardigan and an ordinary light brown straight one-step skirt for her, paired with a pair of Atsugi-produced extended 20D ultra-thin flesh-colored transparent toe tights, and a pair of size 37 shallow-mouthed genuine leather bow white high heels that were exactly her size.

Erina really doesn't like wearing stockings. She really hates the feeling of being wrapped and restrained by stockings below the waist.

But that's not the point. Since I was going to a banquet, it would be impolite to wear work clothes. He already handed it to me, so I just put it on.

What really made Erina frown was Uesugi Sosetsu's level of clothing selection.

Why is this guy so skilled?

How many women has he chosen clothes for?
Uesugi Sosetsu waited outside the locker room for a while, and Ikeda Erena came out. The tall beauty moved quickly because Uesugi Sosetsu was chatting happily with the female clerk outside. Ikeda Erena suspected that if she didn't come out, the female clerk would exchange contact information with Uesugi Sosetsu.

"Okay." Erina interrupted their conversation. Uesugi Sosetsu's eyes lit up.

The tall beauty changed into a dark grey round-neck knitted cardigan. The slim-fitting shirt outlined her slender waist, and the cashmere collar made her towering breasts look great and magnificent, forming a high arc.

From her slender waist with a few muscular lines comes a knee-length light brown skirt, which tightly hugs her waist and round figure, extending to her long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. Ikeda Erena has a tall figure, and her legs are even more beautiful under the skirt. The velvet stockings produced in Atsugi are smooth and delicate, and her calf muscles are tight without a trace of excess fat, but with obvious streamlined lines, like an attractive crescent-shaped curve, as if perfectly fitting the surface of the skin, flashing an attractive fluorescent light under the light of the store, all the way to the ankle, where the stockings can be recognized by a very subtle wrinkle, and the small white bow leather high heels make her look more gentle.

The tall, beautiful and heroic beauty stood in front of the locker room. She was extremely beautiful, with a neat and neat short brown hair, and a questioning look in her light brown eyes.

how about it?
And she soon got enough positive feedback.

Uesugi Sosetsu thought that these legs were truly a work of art. He took the initiative to lean over and observe her round and slender legs wrapped in a pair of ultra-thin flesh-colored stockings. He couldn't help but want to pick them up and caress them carefully.

It's not the plump and voluptuous beauty of a mature woman, nor the slender and bony beauty of a young girl, but a kind of fitness that is round, firm, elastic, and yet tender and energetic, with beautiful proportions and a perfect fit.

When a tube skirt and tights meet, it is better than anything in the world.

"Great, Ms. Ikeda, it suits you very well." Uesugi Sosetsu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Let's take this one. It's my way of thanking you for taking care of me for the past month."

"Go directly?" Ikeda Erena felt better after receiving the man's praise. She felt Uesugi Sosetsu's gaze lingering on a certain place on her again, but after being together for so long, she was used to this man sometimes not being able to control his gaze.

Well, only this man.

The two of them were getting a little close. Ikeda Erena raised her head and the hot breath she exhaled touched Uesugi Sosetsu's chin, making him feel a little itchy. She found that she had no intention of resisting in her heart. She just bit her lips and her face flushed, indicating that as long as you think it's okay, it's fine by me.

"Well, just go ahead." Uesugi Munen didn't react. He nodded repeatedly: "I'll give you this suit. It's not expensive anyway, less than 20,000. You probably don't like trying it on endlessly, right?"

Hui Lingna pouted slightly, and the tips of her white high-heeled shoes under her skirt drew a circle on the ground. It was rare for her to come out, and she was not unwilling to try other things, but since Uesugi Sosetsu said so, she naturally would not say anything else: "As long as you think it's okay."

"Ms. Ikeda, this outfit really suits you." Uesugi Sosetsu thought that Erina might not be satisfied, so he took the initiative to say, "Your skin is not that white, so you should wear a darker top to highlight your beauty. And then... your facial features are different from others. Whether it's your temperament or the lines of your facial features, they are more European and American and three-dimensional, which will make your eyes and expressions aggressive, so it's best to match this more casual and homely style, so it won't be so aggressive."

"The same goes for shoes. Black high heels would look too formal. White high heels with bows would look softer." Uesugi Muneyuki concluded, "And stockings are a must. Bare legs would be a bit disrespectful."

I always feel like this guy is very skilled at buying clothes for women.

Erina's eyes became dangerous. She was about to pay the bill with her own money, but the female clerk came with her changed work clothes and said that Uesugi Sosetsu had already paid the bill. The two sides started arguing, and in the end Ikeda forced a 10,000 yen bill into Uesugi Sosetsu's pocket and it ended.

She can let Uesugi Souji go with the small part, since this is for his party, but she must go with the big part herself, this is the principle that Erina insists on.

After buying the clothes, Ikeda Erina calmly glanced at her phone and found that she still had some time.

You can also go shopping.

Just as Erina was thinking about how to put forward her request reasonably, Uesugi Sosetsu's cell phone suddenly rang.

Telephone?

Erina glanced subconsciously and saw the note from Uesugi Sosetsu "Musashino University, Saito".

The tall beauty's eyes suddenly became sharper.

Uesugi Sosetsu had no reservations and he answered the phone directly in front of Erina.

"Well... yes, I'm in Bunkyo now. What's the matter... No, there's a party at home tonight... What do you want... A Toshiba notebook? Are you serious?... I can't think of any need for this... Didn't I promise to buy you two pairs of shoes last time..." Uesugi Sosetsu's tone was a little impatient, and he became more and more irritated as he spoke.

Erina could faintly hear a young female voice coming from the other side, and her tone was humble.

The tall beauty felt a sense of loss rising in her heart, and she always felt a little uncomfortable, but she concealed it well. After Uesugi Souyuki hung up the phone, Erina immediately asked, "Is it your colleague?"

Uesugi Sosetsu frowned and squinted his eyes, then shook his head: "No, it was a friend I met in a cram school when I was in college. I borrowed her notes to copy, but I didn't expect to get into trouble with a debt collector."

Hearing his frank admission, Ikeda Erena's expression became much gloomier.

It has been raining, and the atmosphere is not harmonious.

In an instant, all the good mood that Erena Ikeda had accumulated disappeared in the heavy rain.

This rain doesn't seem so romantic anymore.

"Oh." Reina suppressed her displeasure. Seeing that Uesugi Souji was in a bad mood, she didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions.

From her tone, she doesn't sound like an ordinary friend."

Uesugi Sosetsu shook his head in annoyance, as if he was covered in mud: "Let's go, it's better to arrive earlier."

The tall beauty could sense the annoyance in Uesugi Sosetsu's tone. It seemed that he disliked the other party very much. However, this guy might have owed the other party some favors, so he had to express something, but he was already deeply dissatisfied.

Although she recovered a little, Erina still had doubts in her heart. She couldn't help but want to ask more questions, but the timing was not right. However, she felt anxious to give up. She got angry and said coldly, "Forget it. I won't go."

This rain is not romantic at all!
“???” Uesugi Sosetsu was suddenly filled with question marks.

What's going on? Wasn't she very happy before? Aizen Myowang Dharma Image can clearly feel it.

Suddenly you say you can’t go?
This won't do! He spent so much effort just to create an environment where he could ask this tall beauty for a big favor!

Why did Ikeda suddenly say he couldn't go?
No way! You coming here tonight is part of my big plan!

Uesugi Sosetsu quickly grabbed Erina and said, "Please don't do this, Ms. Ikeda, I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too!" Ikeda Erina's answer was short.

"I really have something to discuss with you." Uesugi Munen said seriously, "I know you may not want to get along with those people in the office, so I specially opened another one for the two of us, with no one else present. Please believe my sincerity, okay?"

Ikeda Erena's loss lasted only a few seconds and disappeared when she heard Uesugi Sosetsu say that he had opened a new place just for her, just the two of them.

The tall beauty suddenly felt secretly delighted that she had "won".

Compared to that Saito from Musashino University, he seems to value himself more?

"It's getting late, let's go." Not answering is the best answer. Uesugi Sosetsu quickly pulled Erina out of the hypermarket, and the tall beauty reluctantly followed him into the car with her high heels on.

The night was dark and the lights were bright. When I came out, the heavy rain outside had turned into a drizzle. According to experience, this kind of August rain would stop after a while.

Erina's mood also changed from rainy to sunny.

This rain is quite romantic after all!
　What is the protagonist's big plan? Hehehe~
