"It's this restaurant again." Megumi Aiko yawned while leaning against Matsuda Jinpei.
"Tsk, didn't you say that you missed the taste?" Matsuda Jinpei clicked his tongue but didn't push Megumi Aiko away.
"Yeah. I have been so busy these past few days…" Megumi Aiko sighed when she thought about her business in the past few days. Conan is really making everyone in the investigation section so busy that they barely have time to rest.
If it was possible, Megumi Aiko really wanted to rest.
"Eat something first." Matsuda Jinpei shook his head and quickly ordered food.
"Yes."
After the food was served, the door opened again and a very familiar person walked inside.
"Huh? Instructor Onizuka?" Matsuda Jinpei saw the other party and unconsciously shrank his neck. He could still remember being beaten and punished so much by this instructor in the past.
"Instructor Onizuka?" Megumi Aiko also raised her head curiously and saw the other party. She had never seen this instructor before and only read the record.
Apparently, she was also in Instructor Onizuka's class and was considered a poor student.
Haha…
Her theoretical classes were extremely bad and Megumi Aiko felt that the system truly referred to the player's real condition when making their character's profile. Because she could feel that if she truly attended the police academy, that was how it would be for her too.
The only good point that she has is her strong physical strength.
And it seemed that she was tutored by others in order to be able to graduate….
*cough*
"Hmm? Matsuda Jinpei and Megumi Aiko." Instructor Onizuka's expression turned a little strange when he saw these two people. "So it seems that two people with strong strength and troublemakers do gather together."
"Instructor!"
"Hahaha." Instructor Onizuka laughed as he swept his gaze across the place casually, but his eyes paused for a moment when he saw a familiar face.
Kazuki Karin.
The student whose entrance exam and final exam remained stable at the second place among the girls.
The reason why Instructor Onizuka remembered the other party was because she's one of the few troublemaking students during their time. And the one he remembered the most of was Kurokawa Saki even though she was actually not that eye catching in the academy and many people might not even know who she is from the same year. The two girls were close to each other in the police academy.
And their personality was exactly the opposite.
Kazuki Karin was an outgoing and cheerful girl who made a lot of friends.
On the other hand, Kurokawa Saki was a shy and introverted girl who was very studious and smart but often remained alone.
The two of them complemented each other well…
If only things were that simple.
They were also making some troubles that made Instructor Onizuka feel headache in a completely different way from the era of those five troublemaker students.
The problem is…
All of them looked rather normal in the beginning.
But he quickly learned his lesson: appearance can be deceiving.
They kept on getting involved in various cases even though they didn't do anything much and then that incident happened…
But seeing the other party's casual clothes, Instructor Onizuka chose not to greet the other party. Considering how high Kurokawa Saki's talent and performance was in the police academy back then, Instructor Onizuka would never believe the other party would not be famous.
The reality is, Instructor Onizuka had never heard about them.
Not long after graduation, he only knew that the two of them seemed to be scouted by the public security and then disappeared.
The other in their small group was not much better.
Only one person was still making her name.
Megumi Aiko.
Probably because of her own position and personality too, she was famous in the workplace.
He didn't expect to see the other party again after so long.
"You two are famous and I have naturally heard about it." Instructor Onizuka acted naturally and sat down in front of Matsuda Jinpei and Megumi Aiko without hesitation. He smiled as he looked at the two of them.
They were indeed troublemakers too, but he was happy to see them shine brilliantly in their work.
This made him feel that his suffering was not for naught.
"Of course." Matsuda Jinpei snorted with a confident smile on his face.
"Ehehehe." Megumi Aiko laughed awkwardly.
They talked about the recent case and at this time, Kazuki Karin had already finished her meal. She looked at the three people over there and smiled internally.
Well, she wanted to talk with Instructor Onizuka for a bit.
As she came closer, Karin could hear Instructor Onizuka revealing Megumi Aiko's black history when she was in the police academy.
"This girl is not any better than you. She's fighting with the second place in the police academy just two days after starting the academy. The difference is that she didn't continue to make trouble with the other party but simply challenged the boys in private." Instructor Onizuka sighed deeply when he recalled those days.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at Megumi Aiko and nodded in appreciation.
As expected of Megumi Aiko.
"Instructor Onizuka!" Megumi Aiko shouted with embarrassment.
Ahhh!
These things were indeed written in the system log, but she didn't remember these things at all. Besides, it was a good thing that Megumi Aiko didn't have such a strange dream (goal) when becoming a police officer like Matsuda Jinpei who wanted to beat up the Superintendent.
"Pfft."
The laugh from the side made the three of them turn their heads.
Seeing the unfamiliar face, Matsuda Jinpei arched his eyebrows while Megumi Aiko stared blankly.
On the other hand, Instructor Onizuka smiled but didn't greet the other party. He was waiting for her words.
"Sorry, sorry, but I can't help laughing when I think of that fight." Kazuki Karin shook her head. Seeing the unfamiliar look on Megumi Aiko's face, she shrugged. "But I guess you have completely forgotten about our fight since you challenged many other people back then, Officer Megumi."
"You are…" Megumi Aiko looked at the other party with disbelief.
It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Instructor Onizuka laughed. "Kazuki Karin, you haven't changed at all even after four years. It's been a while since I heard from you."
Kazuki Karin.
Both Matsuda Jinpei and Megumi Aiko felt the name was unfamiliar.
"Yes, Instructor Onizuka." Kazuki Karin grinned widely. "I was busy with work."
Instructor Onizuka nodded helplessly. "It seems that you're doing well, though."
Kazuki Karin could only smile at that.
Doing well?
Hehehe, under Kurokawa Saki devil style, she almost feels like dying several times. She was really ruthless.
It was really hard to imagine that this is the same shy girl as the one she met in the police academy before…
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You and your group, I mean" Instructor Onizuka said.
"We've been quite busy. So, it can't be helped." Kazuki Karin shrugged.
"Where are the others?" Megumi Aiko's eyes flickered.
This was the information she had been looking for. The name allowed some information to appear in the chat log.
Even if it's not much, it would be useful.
"How should I know? Everyone is busy with their own work." Kazuki Karin shrugged.
Instructor Onizuka seemed to understand something when he saw her attitude since he knew how close she was with those people and sighed. "No wonder…." But their selection each year seems to be a bit outrageous.
Why are those who were selected as undercover were the people who were ranked first in the police academy? Do those people don't think that they were eye catching enough?
"Who?" Megumi Aiko asked, hoping to get more information from Kazuki Karin.
"Officer Megumi, you're really bad at remembering people." Kazuki Karin looked at Megumi Aiko with bewilderment.
Is she really Megumi Aiko?
But no one could pretend that insane strength and Kazuki Karin was still familiar with the other party.
Wait, did she also forget about their experience?
"That…" Megumi Aiko wanted to make excuses but she couldn't say anything. At this moment, she felt a sense of frustration that she didn't know existed.
"Did your memory get affected after that?" Kazuki Karin seemed to remember something and looked at Megumi Aiko with concern and then some relief.
If Megumi Aiko could even forget Kurokawa Saki…
It meant that when she appeared, Megumi Aiko's performance would be the most authentic.
For them, it would be a good thing.
But thinking that Megumi Aiko could even forget these things, Kazuki Karin felt sad.
They experienced so many things together in the police academy and Megumi Aiko couldn't remember them?
"Wait? Are you injured?" Matsuda Jinpei suddenly turned to look at Megumi Aiko, his expression was sharp and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"No, I'm fine… it's just that some things are not clear to me." Megumi Aiko felt a bit desperate. "Don't worry, I won't forget anything about our work."
"Is it before you enter the workplace?" Matsuda Jinpei frowned.
Megumi Aiko nodded and then said, "Uhm, part of the events in the police academy?"
