The Tokyo Police Journey Begins with the Ability to See Evil Thoughts

In the early hours of the morning, along the riverbank in Uda-cho.

"Why does Kamiya-kun look so dejected?" Yuzuki asked, lying on the lawn with her eyes half-closed.

Looking at the moon's reflection on the water, Kamiya Gen sighed, "I didn't know that changing locations meant this..."

Logically speaking, the two should have changed hotels. As for what adults should do, Kamiya Gen thought that since Kiha Yu was so well-planned, she might have already prepared everything.

Even if some groundwork is needed, we can find an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Who on earth turned the result into this horrible mess?

Kamiya Gen couldn't understand it. He went to the supermarket to buy some emergency supplies in case something went wrong, but who would have thought that Mokuhe Yuzu would follow him in...

He was somewhat surprised at the time, suspecting that this silly goose might already be a seasoned veteran, and that he was just a novice compared to her. Otherwise, wouldn't girls usually be very shy in this regard?

Well, after seeing her pick up a case of beer from under the shelf, Kamiya Gen realized he had been overthinking things.

In short, the process was full of twists and turns, but in the end, the two neither went to a hotel nor to a bar or similar place. Instead, they went to the riverbank and drank wine under the moon.

After much deliberation, Kamiya Gen still felt that the art style was really off...

"I'm only moving because I'm worried about being disturbed... Don't relax too much, it'll be hard to save you if you fall into the river..."

Muheyou offered a reminder.

Kamiya Gen stared blankly at the shimmering river for a long time before finally coming to his senses and asking, "Shouldn't we go back to the hotel? Your family must be worried sick."

"Drink these last few bottles before you leave."

Muheyou reached into a cardboard box next to her and pulled out two more bottles of beer.

Kamiya Gen felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but he still took the medicine with trembling hands and swallowed it purely on instinct.

Muheyou raised the corners of her mouth, chug down a can of liquor in the same gulp, wiped her chin, and laughed, "Kamiya-kun, you've finally had your fill... Ugh—"

Kamiya Gen quickly dodged, afraid that she would vomit on him, only to find out later that she was faking it.

"Boring," Kamiya Gen said speechlessly.

Muheyou lay down first, then Guyong came to his side and said, "Have you noticed that neither of us is as drunk as before?"

"I suspect that the case of beer you bought later was expired and counterfeit..." Kamiya Gen said.

Muheyou frowned slightly and said, "You paid the bill...you should be the one who bought it."

She seemed a little cold, but since her clothes didn't have pockets, she reached out her hands, intending to put them into Kamiya Gen's pocket.

But the next second, he froze.

"Kami-Kamiya-kun, what is this?"

Kamiya Gen turned his head and saw what she was pulling out of his pocket. His heart immediately started pounding, and he snatched it away: "Chewing gum!"

"Do you think I'm an idiot..." Muheyou muttered.

"I'm sorry...it was my thinking that was dirty..."

"Kamiya-kun always seems to admit his mistakes very quickly. Even if it's not your fault, you'll quickly take the blame, to the point that the person you apologize to will start to wonder whose fault it really is," said Kiha Yuzu, making a strange remark.

"That's your fault," Kamiya Gen said.

"How...how is this my fault?"

"You dragged me into drinking, and you're the one who led me to jump off the hotel. Even if I made a mistake, you bear half the responsibility!"

"Are you drunk now?" Muheyou suddenly asked.

Kamiya Gen, unsure why she suddenly asked this, replied, "The beer in the back isn't very strong, though it could also be expired, but it's definitely more sober than before..."

"So, when you wake up tomorrow, will you not remember what happened tonight?"

Muheyou propped herself up on the lawn and looked down at him.

……

At that moment, the moon hid behind the clouds.

The gentle blue waves ripple in layers, and the three-colored forest stretches straight between the water and the sky.

Kamiya Gen suddenly felt a little flustered. He understood what Muhe You meant and asked in a low voice:

"Shall we...have some more?"

Muheyou didn't reply, but just looked down at him.

Moonlight filtered through the clouds, giving the place an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality.

—That seems to be called the Tyndall effect.

As Kamiya Gen thought this, he shook his head and cursed himself for being an idiot. Should he be thinking such nonsense at a time like this?

"Have you considered the consequences before buying this?"

Yuzuki reached out, pressed down on Gen Kamiya's right hand, and forcefully pried open his fingers, taking the chewing gum back into her own hand.

"No... I'm sorry," Kamiya Gen said.

"I'm not asking you to admit your mistake."

Kamiya Gen didn't want to look into her eyes, or rather, he was somewhat afraid to look.

After a long silence, he spoke: "What do you think? Do you have any feelings?"

"Explain yourself clearly, I'm drunk." Mu Heyou's gaze was unfocused, but she was actually secretly looking at the instruction manual on the small box in her hand.

"That's how it is..."

Kamiya Gen became increasingly flustered as he spoke, and he couldn't figure out the exact reason. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol.

"I asked you last time if you liked me, but your answer was very clear. I felt that I shouldn't bother trying to win you over, so I'm sorry for this. I shouldn't have been disrespectful to you. I had no choice but to buy this."

"Last time?"

Muheyou looked away, thinking about how she had thought he was narcissistic a few days ago.

"What are you thinking? And don't look at me like that, where am I supposed to look?" Kamiya Gen said, looking at her barren chest.

"I want to... try again," Muheyou said.

"What if you spit it in my mouth?" Kamiya Gen asked, somewhat frightened.

Muheyou was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself that this guy really didn't know what was good for him, saying such a spoilsport, and then she lowered her head and kissed him.

It wasn't until several minutes later that the two finally separated.

"Phew~ I almost suffocated..."

Before Kamiya Gen could finish speaking, his lips were sealed again.

He could only reach out and grab the other person's shoulders, worried that Muheyou would fall into the river.

After they parted again, Muheyou asked, "How are you feeling?"

"Actually... not so great, you're a bit like a block of wood."

"I have no experience," Muheyou said generously. "But you seem to have a lot of experience. My mother told me about your university days, about that girl from Nishino, right?"

"It's Mizuno," Kamiya Gen said instinctively.

Mu Heyou immediately frowned: "It seems you're quite lucid, otherwise how could you remember it so clearly?"

"I'm drunk, I'm just talking in my sleep..."

"Don't you want others to mispronounce your ex-girlfriend's name even in your dreams?" Muheyou asked.

Kamiya Gen then realized that she was actually quite clever in some ways, devising ways to trap him.

Even if he can't recall Mizuno's name, she might have a backup plan, like saying something like, "He can't even remember his ex-girlfriend's name, what a jerk."

Kamiya Gen was out of options and was preparing to admit his mistake.

However, Muheyou didn't give him that chance. She quickly got up from the ground and stuffed the chewing gum box back into his pocket.

"I'm drunk, I'm going back to rest," she said.
