Asada was the first to take off her fisherman's hat, brush her bangs back, and remove her sunglasses.

"Asada?" Takikawa asked uncertainly, hiding behind a staff member.

"Yes, it's me." Asada said awkwardly, taking off the last thing covering her face—the mask—revealing her entire face.

He then quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Takikawa's gaze.

“So that’s…” Takikawa narrowed her eyes, the lingering fear in her eyes quickly replaced by rising anger as she looked at the guy standing in front of Asada.

Just as Ito raised his hand to take off the fisherman's hat that was pulled down low, Takikawa couldn't wait any longer!

She rushed out from behind the crowd and reached Ito in a few steps. She tilted her head back, her red eyes staring intently at the blurry outline of Ito behind his sunglasses.

"Itou Yuhito!"

Chapter 176 The Smartest Detective, Asada

As the wind blew across the lawn, Ito could feel many eyes focused on him.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. His original plan was to find an opportunity when Takikawa was alone and then capture him with a sack.

He was alone, but it seems that Ito has been captured.

"Takikawa, are they people you know?" The middle-aged police officer also noticed that the group seemed to know each other.

“Yes.” Takikawa stared at Ito’s fully armed face, then turned to everyone and bowed. “I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

"I'm sorry." Asada and Ito also apologized to the staff.

"It's alright."

"It's alright, it's someone I know."

The crowd dispersed; they already had work to do anyway.

As the middle-aged police officer left, he did give Ito a warning, though it was more of a muttered remark, "I don't think this kid is a good person."

"Remember to call me if anything happens. This kid probably has bad intentions," he whispered to Takikawa.

There was no attempt to avoid Ito's presence; even when they lowered their voices, it was almost a mere formality.

After all, Asada, who was the furthest away, heard every single word.

After everyone else had left, only the three of them remained.

The situation became very awkward.

Although Ito felt sorry for scaring Takikawa to tears, that cannot be a reason for him to refuse to pay the debt.

But just as he was about to step forward and speak, Asada grabbed his trench coat, subtly preventing Ito from speaking.

But Ito isn't the kind of guy who can be controlled by women, except for Nagano Sae and maybe Mori Kami.

"Takikawa, you..."

"You must have something to do right now, go back to the film set," Asada interrupted Ito.

“I do have a job…” Takikawa nodded slightly, but she still stared fiercely at Ito, “but it will be some time.”

"Since that's the case, let's talk..."

"I'm so sorry about what happened earlier." Asada interrupted Ito again, walking up to him with an apologetic expression. "It was our fault."

Asada's moral standards are too high; that alone makes it impossible for him to survive in the entertainment industry, which is a huge and corrupting place.

I didn't expect that after so much training, she still has the original Asada flavor.

Or perhaps she's planning to lower the other person's guard after gaining their forgiveness, so she can then carry out her plan to capture Takikawa.

Courtesy first, then force?

"How did you find this place?" After saying this, the other person immediately realized the answer, "Xinye?"

"No, it wasn't him." Asada quickly waved his hand, afraid that the other party wouldn't suspect Shinno.

“That’s Shinno.” Takikawa nodded knowingly.

"Uh..." Asada stopped waving his hand and shaking his head, seemingly shocked by Takikawa's wisdom.

She turned stiffly to look at Ito, her eyes seeming to say, 'When did Takikawa become so clever?'

As expected, Miss Idol remains forever innocent.

"So why did you come here?" Takikawa kept a safe distance from Ito, but she vaguely felt that Ito still had ulterior motives.

Ito was about to make a move, but seeing Takikawa suddenly retreat made him abandon the plan.

She remained wary of herself.

“You don’t know?” Ito stepped forward naturally.

"All I know is that you two were dressed like shady gangsters, chasing me through the countryside in broad daylight!"

Takikawa still can't forget this incident, and it's clear that it hurt her a lot.

"A third-rate yakuza?!" Ito looked down at his clothes. "They're clearly..."

He wanted to argue again, but Asada covered his mouth.

“Yes, I also think they’re a third-rate yakuza.” Asada said, trying to avoid Ito angering Takikawa.

She noticed that the middle-aged police officer was still watching Ito warily.

"Hmph!" Takikawa angrily turned his head away. "If Asada hadn't been there..."

In Ito's view, the other party's actions of leaving without saying goodbye (at least without telling him the specific time of departure), cutting ties (deleting him as a friend and blocking his number), and forgetting his roots (forgetting that he was able to get the job so quickly with Ito's help) were far more serious.

Now, the other party has become the righteous judge, while I have become the evil villain.

"One of the reasons we came here is because we missed you." Asada covered Ito's mouth without letting go. "And also... uh..."

She glanced at the cherry blossom trees blooming along the roadside in the distance. "I'm a tourist, here to relax."

"Relax? Dressed like that," Takikawa didn't believe it at all. "Besides, the way this bastard looked just now, he didn't look like me at all."

"It's more like they want to take my life."

What exactly is wrong with this outfit? Ito is very satisfied with her own styling.

If you put it in a game, it would be a 648 RMB outfit.

"I've been thinking about you all along." Ito pulled away from Asada's hand.

Ever since discovering that the other party was unable to repay the debt, Ito has been going crazy thinking about Takikawa.

"Is this how people express their longing?!" Takikawa retorted, meeting Ito's gaze head-on without backing down.

“And…” Takikawa changed the subject, “I don’t think I have anything that you’d miss.”

What is this guy talking about? Why doesn't he mention money at all? Instead, it makes Ito feel that he has a hidden inferiority complex.

There's a problem, a very big problem.

Asada was caught between the two men, and every moment she spent with them felt like torture.

She felt that both of them were idiots, blatant idiots.

They're not even talking about the same thing.

The clever idol has completely figured out the psychology of the two people around her.

She put her sunglasses back on, placed one hand on her chin, and pressed the other hand against Ito's chest, pushing him backward.

"You two calm down," Asada raised her voice, suppressing their aura. "You're both acting strangely! You're both acting very strangely!"

“I should have realized it long ago, Ito.” She first proclaimed Ito’s sins, “Although you explained to me why I came here, I only realized it after facing Takikawa.”

"What normal person would dress like that to go looking for a girl? You..."

She paused for a moment, then held out her hand as if it were a gun. "Are you trying to see if Takikawa will recognize you?"

“Eh~” Asada shook his head vigorously, “Ito, that’s your problem.”

"?"

Has Asada gone mad? What nonsense is she talking about? They're eating the same food... Does practicing electric guitar all night make someone stupid?

“And you, Takikawa!” Asada suddenly turned around and cupped Takikawa’s face in her hands.

“Although Ito is really strange, you can’t say it out loud.” She stared into Takikawa’s beautiful sky-blue eyes.

"And Ito went to great lengths to say he missed you, so you should understand what he means. If you really dislike him, you should clearly reject him."

"This current state of wanting it all but not wanting it all is not right!"

Chapter 177 Everything is going against the plan

"I don't understand what you're saying." Takikawa stubbornly turned his head to the side.

"I have to go to work now, goodbye."

After saying that, she walked straight toward the tents set up by the film crew in the distance.

"and many more."

Takikawa's steps did not stop.

"This guy." Ito jogged over quickly and put his hand on Takikawa's shoulder.

"No, Ito, come back quickly." Asada looked at this scene with a worried tone, because she caught sight of the middle-aged police officer walking towards her with an unfriendly look in his eyes.

Neither Ito nor Takikawa seemed to hear the sounds around them.

"You've left something behind," Ito said, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Don't try to fool me with this lame excuse." Takikawa's clever mind took the lead.

"Eh~" Ito sighed deeply, his tone unusually serious, "I really didn't lie to you today."

"Which sentence didn't lie to me?" Takikawa asked instinctively, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt a slight weight on the top of his head.

That familiar blue distressed baseball cap was now gently resting on the top of her head.

It perfectly concealed her slightly disheveled hair, which had become messy from running and excitement.
