In Detective Conan: Intercepting Miwako Sato at the Start

"Is your bathhouse big?"

"Hmm...it's quite big. Aren't all the hot springs the same size?" Yuuki Takada looked at Miwako Sato in front of him, somewhat confused.

"Is that so?" Sato Miwako looked up, cold sweat dripping down her face, her expression panicked as she looked at him.

Yuuki Takada looked at Miwako Sato and felt that something was off, but out of kindness, he slowly walked towards her.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Sato Miwako suddenly spoke up: "Was your neck sunburned before?"

"Hmm?" Takada Yuuki reached out and touched the back of his neck, but didn't feel anything. "You mean that? I'm not sure if it got sunburned."

"No wonder I kept saying that I felt a throbbing pain in the front, especially in the back of my neck."

“Wait a minute, I remember…” As she spoke, Sato Miwako took out a sunscreen from a bag behind her, sat on the bench, patted the bench with her left hand, looked up at Takada Yuuki, and gestured, “Come here, I’ll help you apply it.”

"Ah..." Takada Yuuki hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and scratched his head: "This...this might not be a good idea?"

He slowly turned around and sat down on the long bench.

"My God... the back of your neck is so noticeably tanned." Sato Miwako stared intently at the back of his neck.

"I'm saying... is it okay if you don't go back to your room now?" Takada Yuki suddenly became a little flustered, and his face clearly showed some embarrassment.

"What do you mean?" Sato Miwako asked while helping out, "I'm trying to help you out of kindness, Takada-senpai, do you really want me to go back?"

"No, that's not it!" Yuuki Takada looked embarrassed and said, "It's just... it feels a little strange that we're all together like this right now."

"It wouldn't be good if other people we know saw us."

A blush crept onto Sato Miwako's cheeks, and her eyes became incredibly serious: "Takada-senpai, I think you might be overthinking things."

"However... you don't seem to be ticklish on the back of your neck."

Yuuki Takada unconsciously turned his gaze behind him. "Don't be afraid. I've never been ticklish anywhere."

"And here!"

Sato Miwako's tone was tinged with a defiant excitement, as if she had discovered a new breakthrough, before she had even finished speaking.

She leaned forward slightly and raised her hands.

Her slender fingers curled up gently, the pads of her fingers feeling warm to the touch.

With a force that was neither too strong nor too weak, he scratched at both sides of Takada Yuuki's waist without hesitation.

She stared intently at Yuki Takada's profile.

I waited to see him flinch as usual, but after tickling him several times, he only moved his shoulder slightly and didn't even frown.

Seeing this, Sato Miwako was puzzled and increased the force in her hands, trying again.

Seeing that the other party still didn't react, a hint of frustration crept into his words.

Her voice softened, and she pressed on tentatively, "You...you don't feel anything?"

But at that moment, all her attention was focused on the movements of her hands and Takada Yuki's reaction, and she didn't notice her posture when she bent over at all.

Lost in her confusion about why the other party wasn't responding, Miwako Sato was completely oblivious to everything around her.

"Huh?" Takada Yuki immediately panicked and became extremely agitated, shouting, "Sato, let me go! If others see this, things will get complicated."

She hugged him from behind, and Sato Miwako didn't say a word.

She simply leaned against Takada Yuuki's back, her arms gently encircling his waist.

Her cheek pressed against his warm back, without making a sound, only the soft touch of her hair brushing against his clothes as she breathed.

"Huh?" Yuuki Takada suddenly felt a weight on his back, his body stiffened abruptly, and he even subconsciously softened his breathing. His heart skipped a beat.

"I hope that you, Takada-senpai, can let me lean on you a little today." Sato Miwako's voice came from behind, as light as a feather, with a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

Her voice trembled slightly at the end, and her hands tightened their grip, as if she was afraid of losing this support in the next second.

"This...this isn't appropriate!" Yuki Takada's cheeks flushed instantly, and cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead.

The drops landed on his collar, and he could even clearly feel the body heat coming from behind him.

His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He frantically tried to turn around, but was afraid of making too much noise and hurting her, so he could only stand there, feeling a bit flustered.

Sato Miwako slowly moved her hands down and gently placed them on Takada Yuuki's hands hanging by his sides. The slight coolness of her fingertips passed through the fabric. "I feel like ever since you took leave last time, you seem to be keeping a little distance from me. It makes me feel like something's off."

"Please, just this little bit, can you let me get close for a short while?"

As Sato Miwako spoke, she gently rubbed her head against his back, her hair brushing against his back and causing a slight tickle. Her tone was full of pleading, making it impossible for him to refuse.

Yuuki Takada looked at the hands resting on his, the slender fingers slightly curled, a hint of helplessness and tenderness flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't actually trying to avoid her on purpose; it's just that he had figured some things out when he took leave last time, and when he came back, he took over Yoshihiro Nakamura's case. Plus, there was an internal meeting that day where they were instructed to keep it confidential and not to spread the word.

Naturally, he had very little contact with Miwako Sato.

Another point is that he was afraid that getting too close to Sato Miwako would cause her unnecessary trouble, but seeing her looking so aggrieved now, how could he bear to refuse her?

Yuuki Takada sighed softly, relaxing his stiff body slightly, and said calmly, "...Alright, then lean against me for a while."

Chapter 113 Miwako Sato's Beach Invitation

"Miwako?" Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from not far away, and a figure slowly walked towards the two of them.

Fortunately, Yuki Takada reacted quickly, stood up from the bench, leaned against the wall with both hands, and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Sato Miwako immediately sat up straight and smiled at her.

Later, Miyamoto Yumi's figure gradually became clearer.

"Strange..." Miyamoto Yumi turned to look at the two of them: "Takada-senpai, you're here too!"

Did I interrupt your conversation?

“No, no…” Sato Miwako waved her hands repeatedly and said, “I was just asking Takada-senpai to buy me a drink.”

Miwako Sato turned her head and smiled: "Takada-senpai, may I have a bottle of Coke?"

“No…who said they were going to invite you?” Yuuki Takada said softly.

"I see." Miyamoto Yumi smiled and looked at Takada Yuki. "Well, I'm thirsty, give me a bottle of orange juice."

Yuki Takada turned around and went to the vending machine next to him.

Miyamoto Yumi came up to Sato Miwako and handed her the newspaper she had been holding. "Miwako, look at this. These people are really unreasonable."

“Um…” Takada Yuki looked at the vending machine in front of him and started operating it. “Miyamoto Yumi, I remember you wanted orange juice, right?”

Immediately, a voice came from behind: "Please, Takada-senpai."

"Miwako...Where's Sato?"

"What did you just say you wanted to drink?" Yuuki Takada asked, looking at the vending machine in front of him.

Seeing that Miwako Sato did not respond for a long time, Yuuki Takada turned around, only to find that Miwako Sato glared at him.

"Cola……"

"Yes." Yuuki Takada handed over the two drinks.

Yumi Miyamoto said to Yuki Takada, "Thanks."

He then followed Miwako Sato forward. "Miwako, let me tell you, that guy is really unreasonable."

Yuki Takada stared blankly at the two figures as they left, thinking to himself: No, I didn't do anything to anger Sato, did I?

She looks really angry!

Women are so fickle!

I just hope nothing bad happens later.

Ding Dong!

Just then, Yuki Takada's phone suddenly rang.

A text message from Miwako Sato came through my phone: "Wait for me at the ice cream parlor on the beach in ten minutes."

Miwako Sato turned around and gave Yuki Takada a knowing look.

Although Yuki Takada was somewhat puzzled, he decided to go over anyway out of good intentions.

"Yumi, I know you want to talk to me about something, but I have something more important to do right now. We can talk about it later."

"Hey... Miwako, where are you going?" Before Miyamoto Yumi could finish her sentence, Sato Miwako's figure had already disappeared in front of her, quickly boarding the elevator and leaving.

A short while later, Sato Miwako arrived near the ice cream parlor on the beach. After waiting for a while, she finally saw Takada Yuki slowly walking over.

"Um... I'm sorry, although I didn't know what happened to you just now, I still wanted to say sorry to you." Takada Yuki said directly when he saw Sato Miwako.

"Takada-senpai, you clearly don't know why I'm angry?"

"Anyway, I still think I should apologize to you first." Yuuki Takada nodded: "Indeed, I really don't understand what you're angry about, but I still think I should apologize to you first."

"sorry."

"I already said, if you don't know the whole story, then don't apologize like this, okay?" Sato Miwako suddenly became emotional.

"Do you not think before you act?"

Yuuki Takada was speechless for a moment: "..."

After thinking about it for so long, he still couldn't figure out what made Sato Miwako angry.

Yuuki Takada instinctively replied with a few words: "I'm sorry..."

Seeing this, Sato Miwako sighed helplessly, then zipped up her cardigan jacket, revealing her full-on state.

Yuuki Takada immediately closed his eyes. "No, no, no... Miwako Sato, what are you doing? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

“No…” Sato Miwako clearly displayed a slightly daringly styled swimsuit in front of the other person, “What are you thinking?”

"I've been looking forward to coming to Odaiba Seaside Park with you. Although a case happened along the way that upset us, it was still a great relief to finally be at the beach with you."

"So, all along, Miwako Sato has been serious!" Yuuki Takada looked at Miwako Sato, momentarily at a loss for words.

"So I hope you can ignore what other people are looking at you, and act like I'm having a great time talking to myself."

"That feeling is really annoying to me." Sato Miwako turned her head to the side and turned her body.

"Ugh..." Yuuki Takada thought to himself, "This feeling is like... Miwako Sato is jealous."
