Hikari Yuki stared blankly at the menu in front of her before pulling herself back. She had been absentminded a lot lately and this should stop.
It would be dangerous if she continued this way.
"Here you go, Miss Hikari." Amuro Toru put the bowl of ramen in front of Hikari Yuki.
"Thank you." Hikari Yuki gave a polite smile to Amuro Toru.
"Miss Yuki, are you troubled with something?" Amuro Toru asked with concern. "You seem absent minded just now. Is there anything I can do to help you? As you know, I'm a detective and if there's any trouble, I might be able to help you."
Hikari Yuki blinked her eyes. She was sure that even if her thoughts were roaming around, her body would remain in the state of alert. But it seemed that her situation was bad enough if even Amuro Toru could notice.
After all, even if he's a perceptive person, it was not that easy for him to notice when she herself didn't exactly show the sign all the time.
Unless he has been watching her.
But he has no reason to do that.
"Ah, it's ok, Mr. Amuro, my problem is not something that a detective could solve." Hikari Yuki shook her head politely.
Amuro Toru seemed to be thinking for a second before he said, "In that case, how about talking to me as a friend?"
Friend?
Hikari Yuki almost showed shocked expressions if not for her restraining her emotions.
She was absolutely sure that she would be digging her own grave if she accepted him as a friend of Hikari Yuki. Because when he found out that she's Midori Yuki, he will definitely hate her and might want to kill her directly.
… Why did she have the brilliant idea of pretending to be a boy in the first place?
Hikari Yuki wanted to face palm right now.
"Mr. Amuro, I don't think we're that familiar with each other?" Hikari Yuki said tactfully.
Since she's just an ordinary person in his eyes, he should stay away as long as she gives him rejection, right?
After all, the righteous police officer will not want to drag innocent people into his mess.
…Unless he was already suspicious of her.
After all, her height remained the same.
Her build when she acted as Sake was basically covered with her clothes, though.
"Well, I can be your friend from today, can't I?" Amuro Toru asked, his tone sounded pitiful and he tilted his head slightly, making the scene even more impactful.
Hikari Yuki: "..."
