Tokyo Detective Chronicles

The plain-colored yukata, like a petal that has lost its support, silently slid down her rounded shoulders, fair arms, and slender waist, piling up on the tatami mat beneath her.

The afternoon sun shone unhindered on that young body.

In the light, the full curve of her chest rose and fell gently with her rapid breathing.

Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, and below that were the rounded curves of her hips and her long, straight legs that were joined together.

She knelt there naked, looking up at Fushimi, her face flushed even more.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of a bath and the natural fragrance of a young girl, almost overpowering the ever-present scent of Anbaichun in the mansion.

"Hello!"

Fushimi turned his head away and rubbed his temples: "Hurry up and put them on!"

Because of the presence of that Buddha statue, he had no mind to think about such things at the moment.

Even under normal circumstances, he would never have agreed.

Seeing the girl blushing and giggling, completely ignoring him and even becoming more demanding... she rubbed her knees against the tatami mat and moved a little closer to him.

Warm, damp skin almost touched his trouser leg.

Fushimi had no choice but to close his eyes and take a deep breath.

He has achieved his purpose for coming here today, so he should leave as soon as possible.

For some reason, he thought of Dr. Hoshino.

If we were to run into Hayakawa's mother right now...

I just took my girlfriend, who is suspected of being pregnant, to the hospital for a prenatal checkup today.

After it was over, she immediately came to find her daughter, still in such an outrageous state. It's hard to imagine what outrageous things might happen next.

"I have something to do today, so I'll go first..."

He tried to stand up and leave, but Hayakawa Chiho, contrary to her usual behavior, pounced on him, knocking him off balance.

Caught off guard, Fushimi lost his balance and fell onto the tatami mat. Chiho happened to tackle him to the ground and sat on top of him, completely naked.

The soft, warm touch instantly filled all the senses.

Fushimi opened his eyes and met Hayakawa's face, which was inches away from his.

He was pinned down by her, his eyes wide open, his expression smiling, but his face was so red it could drip water.

Burning body temperature, racing heartbeats, intertwined breaths... the atmosphere was filled with desire, and their hearts grew increasingly uneasy as the boy and girl...

"Senior..."

Hayakawa's voice was tinged with a slight panting, his warm breath brushing against his chin:

"Do you know? You are the second person, besides my mother, to have been this good to me in all these years."

She reached out, her hand trembling, and clumsily tried to unbutton Fushimi's clothes.

Her fingertips brushed unintentionally across his collarbone and chest, causing a tremor to run through him.

"Senior... please take everything that is precious to me, everything about me, with you..."

Fushimi still did not respond.

"..."

"If... if you're not willing to take the initiative, I can..."

But at this moment, Fushimi was concerned about something else entirely.

The girl's injuries... had all disappeared.

It's only been a few days?

Fushimi instinctively grabbed her wrist as she unbuttoned his shirt; the skin he touched was smooth, warm, and flawless.

The previous wound didn't even leave a red mark.

Chiho trembled slightly at his gesture, then a shy and joyful smile bloomed on her face, as if she thought that Fushimi had finally accepted her.

"Senior..."

She tried to continue, her body twisting slightly, the friction creating a deadly sensation... but anyone could tell she was very nervous.

She didn't really know what to do next; she was just relying on her imagination...

Fu Wen sighed deeply and closed his eyes again.

The severity of Hayakawa Chiho's psychological problems far exceeded his expectations.

Without further hesitation, he used his strength to lift the naked girl off his body and place her aside.

Then he got up and picked up the yukata that had slipped off.

Now that we've seen it, there's no need to deliberately avoid it.

He knelt down as if dressing a disobedient child, his movements somewhat stiff but as gentle as possible, and helped her put on her clothes, pulling up her sleeves and fastening her belt.

Hayakawa was stunned, blankly letting him do as he pleased, the blush on her face gradually replaced by disappointment.

"Chiho, listen."

Fushimi tied the last knot, looked up at her, and spoke with unprecedented seriousness:

"This kind of thing can only be done with someone you truly like, and who also truly likes you."

It should never be a reward, much less... a transaction of any kind or self-degradation... Understand?

"Senior, I..."

Hayakawa opened his mouth, his eyes seemed a little red, but he instinctively tried to force a smile.

Fushimi guessed what she wanted to say.

He reached out, gently pinched the girl's soft cheek, pulled it slightly, and chuckled, "You should have some self-respect, okay?"

The girl looked at him, the light in her eyes gradually dimming, and finally she lowered her head, her small shoulders seeming to slump.

"...Am I really that unattractive?"

Her voice was muffled, with a slight sob in it.

Upon seeing this, Fushimi felt somewhat uneasy.

He thought for a moment, then took out a talisman made of dark blue brocade from his pocket.

Unlike the one given to Hoshizaki before, this amulet is quite exquisite. It was obtained by Fushimi from the Sphere of Obsession and can provide quite good passive protection.

As for storing the Obsession Ball, it's not as useful as I imagined; it's a one-way, disposable item, and easy to retrieve.

It's impossible to stuff it back in...

Therefore, it cannot be used as storage space like in the novel.

The effect of this amulet is not much different from the one that I folded myself and gave to Hoshizaki, but this one looks nicer and is not as abrupt as giving away a talisman directly.

As for why we do this?

Fushimi himself couldn't explain it.

Perhaps it was the intense unease brought on by the Buddha statue, perhaps it was Hayakawa's current appearance that moved him, or perhaps... it was simply a kind of intuition.

As he spoke, his gaze turned back to the direction of the Buddhist shrine, then quickly returned to it.

"This is for you." He placed the amulet into Hayakawa's palm.

"Huh? No way!"

Hayakawa reacted as if burned, quickly refusing, "I haven't even been able to repay my senior yet, how can I accept a gift in return!"

She turned and reached for the money jar again: "At least... at least please accept this!"

Fushimi looked at the jar of loose change and smiled helplessly.

"Here's the money. If you really want to repay me..."

He thought for a moment and said, "When you have some free time, you can treat me to a meal."

"That's not enough!" Hayakawa shook his head.

"..."

"Then..."

Fushimi's gaze swept across the desolate courtyard outside the window, and a sudden thought struck him: "If we're both free during winter break, how about we go on a short trip together?"

"You will cover all the expenses."

"travel?"

Hayakawa was stunned, seemingly completely unprepared for such a request.

She blinked, her eyes lighting up, a smile returning to her face, and nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

"But...winter break is too long, how about the weekend at the end of this month?"

She looked up, her eyes filled with cautious anticipation.

Fushimi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"OK."

"Okay! It's a date!"

……

It was 5 p.m. when I left the Hayakawa residence.

Only after walking far enough to the street corner did Huali slowly emerge halfway from the shadows.

"You really are unmoved by a woman in your lap, Lord Fushimi."

She twirled around and said sarcastically, "The girl's already like that, so why don't you just give in to her?"

"Let's get down to business. What's been going on with you these past three days?" Fushimi was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"I'm trapped..."

At first, she didn't notice anything unusual...

Until the day after Anbaichun arrived at the Hayakawa residence, she was inexplicably trapped in the flower's exotic fragrance, lost in the room, unable to find the exit or contact Fushimi remotely.

"That thing...you saw it today, didn't you...?"

Later, while pacing around the room, she also discovered the Buddha statue...

I spent three days in a state of anxiety and unease...

In the past three days, Akiyama's matter has been resolved, so Fushimi has not gone to look for Hayakawa Chiho again, and therefore has not discovered that Karin is trapped.

Karin looked at him with a resentful expression.

Fushimi pretended not to notice and nodded thoughtfully: "It's good that you're alright."

He checked the time and decided not to go home.

Instead, they turned back towards the Katsushika Ward Third General Hospital.
