Kazuki Karin was staring at Megumi Aiko.
Considering that she had been working for nearly four years, the memory problems didn't seem to be affecting her too much.
Still…
Kazuki Karin sighed.
If only Kurokawa Saki was not undercover, they would be able to work hard openly to help Megumi Aiko recover her memory.
Not to mention, she and Minoru were still in their secondment to ICPO right now.
"Also, I'm working together with Minoru. If you meet him next time, don't forget to greet him, Instructor Onizuka," Kazuki Karin added.
Thinking about their days in the police academy, Karin actually wanted to laugh. Minoru and Kurokawa Saki both tied for first place. At that time, they had actually agreed to join the public security and they didn't really want to give the speech.
But in the end, Minoru chose to be the one to step forward.
Anyway, he didn't believe that he would be selected for any strange mission.
So when they had that dispute in the Interpol, it was Kurokawa Saki who stepped forward and said that she will do it. In terms of personality, Minoru or her were actually more suitable to be undercover agents based on their personality, but Kurokawa Saki took a step forward and protected them.
The mission was supposed to be a short few months at most.
Who would have thought that Kurokawa Saki's acting would be so good that she would attract a transnational organization?
So their mission lasted for four years.
With her and Minoru being ordered around by Kurokawa Saki all the time.
It was really tiring.
"Ooh, so you're working together with Minoru." Instructor Onizuka laughed. "It seems that you're doing well now."
He didn't ask where the other party was working because some departments required confidentiality and this place was indeed not a good place to talk about it.
"Minoru…" Megumi Aiko murmured as she looked at the system log.
With her receiving his name, the log also changed slightly, adding his name there.
Kazuki Karin's name was also added.
But the other girl who was in first place and tied with Minoru was still not mentioned.
There was also another person whose name was still hidden..
Megumi Aiko had the feeling that this person would be someone important, at least for her, but she didn't know who it was.
"Do you remember him?" Kazuki Karin asked with a faint smile.
"Ah… barely." Megumi Aiko let out a weak smile.
It seemed that she wouldn't have any hope of solving the entire memory problem. The name didn't give out much information about the case.
The problem is…
Will Kazuki Karin be willing to speak about it when they had been warned not to speak about it?
Megumi Aiko was doubtful.
"Don't force yourself." Kazuki Karin sighed and familiarly pushed Megumi Aiko's favourite food forward. "Eat something and don't worry so much."
Matsuda Jinpei saw this and seemed to understand something.
Megumi Aiko and this Kazuki Karin should have been best friends in the police academy. Presumably similar to his relationship with Furuya Rei, Morofushi Hiromitsu, and Wataru Date.
But for some reasons, Megumi Aiko's memory has some problems.
He did hear that Megumi Aiko was involved in the cases of that live broadcast serial murderer when he helped to solve the bombs.
But he didn't know the details.
'Should I have stayed in the investigation section instead?'
Matsuda Jinpei felt his fingers were itchy. He wanted to go back and investigate this matter. But he also knew that Megumi Aiko wouldn't agree.
Last time, the two of them had already fought so much with each other.
Besides, Inspector Megure was also the one who asked him to transfer back… because his personality was not suitable to be here.
"Are you two together?" Megumi Aiko chose a safe and gossipy question.
"How could it be?" Karin shook her hand repeatedly with a shudder. She didn't like someone so old fashioned like Minoru. And, his face was too ordinary for her. "Besides, our superior is a devil who makes us work overtime every day."
When she said this, her expression looked bitter.
Coupled with the thick dark circles under her eyes that couldn't be concealed, it seemed that she had suffered a lot.
Even though work was good and fulfilling, Kurokawa Saki is really a devil. She seemed to have completely forgotten that people also needed to rest.
"Haha, being a police officer is indeed a tough job. But I believe you have been doing well, Karin." Instructor Onizuka smiled. "Speaking of which, are you not with Minoru today?"
"That guy ran to watch the Yoko Okino concert again." There was disdain in Karin's tone when she mentioned Minoru's hobby. She couldn't understand why he liked watching Yoko Okino's concert so much. "Anyway, I'm going back now, Instructor Onizuka. Let's talk again when everyone can gather together."
"No, you're all troublemakers." Instructor Onizuka scolded jokingly and Kazuki Karin ran out of the restaurant after making some funny faces much to their amusement.
Matsuda Jinpei listened to it and arched his eyebrows. "It seems that there are also troublemakers in your other classes in different years, Instructor Onizuka."
"Just some troublesome students." Instructor Onizuka glanced in Megumi Aiko's direction.
"Haha…" Megumi Aiko broke out in a cold sweat under instructor Onizuka's gaze. It seemed that she was not exactly a good student back then. In a way, she herself couldn't really imagine being a good student.
"They can't compare to you, Matsuda."
"Then I'm honoured." Matsuda Jinpei smiled brightly.
Instructor Onizuka just rolled his eyes.
What honour?
He had long wanted to beat up these brats.
The problem is, Kurokawa Saki was very good at wandering in the grey area and can reasonably make sure their actions were still within the rules in the academy. So much that even punishing those people was difficult to do.
Minoru is the thug responsible for most actions, Karin would be the support, and Saki would be the commander.
Those three students were really troublesome.
And when Megumi Aiko and that brat were added to the group, the thug's power was even stronger.
Once they graduated, the school's rules were improved further to prevent another Kurokawa Saki from appearing.
Anyway, the years after Furuya Rei's batch and Kurokawa Saki's batch were definitely the most unfortunate. Because many rules were fixed and improved, making things difficult for them.
How much the younger students suffered…
Well, it all turned into resentment for their outstanding seniors who have long graduated.
"At least, I'm still more famous than him!" Megumi Aiko raised her glass with a big grin.
"Tsk, you're just a violent policewoman."
"Matsuda Jinpei!"
Seeing the two people were arguing with each other, Instructor Onizuka couldn't help but laugh. He drank the tea and sighed deeply, missing those troublesome brats a bit. It was rare to have so many troublesome yet capable students in the same year, especially if there were more than one.
…
At this moment, Minoru was half crying as he was finally able to watch Yoko Okino's concert without being disturbed by his superior's message.
This is extremely rare!
Because Kurokawa Saki's often had an emergency mission, especially in the early stage when she didn't have any codename and they were stationed overseas. Minoru wanted to cry because he couldn't even watch Yoko Okino's concert freely.
But after coming to Japan, Kurokawa Saki was often sent away to various other cities.
Since they were arranged to support Kurokawa Saki in her undercover career, Minoru didn't have any other choice but to follow and went over to various cities.
Now that he had a break…
Ahh, he could finally watch Yoko Okino's concert.
Minoru was extremely happy.
"Finally, I'm not disturbed by my Boss when watching the concert."
Huh? Did I speak my mind?
Minoru was stunned and then saw that there was a man who looked like he was in thirties who was also half crying.
"It's not easy for us," Minoru couldn't help but echo.
The man, Kazami Yuya, looked at Minoru with a perplexed expression. But seeing Minoru's appearance, he had some guesses and asked, "Do you also have trouble watching Yoko Okino's concert?"
"My superior often gives me a lot of sudden tasks, even when I should have taken a break," Minoru said bitterly.
Moreover, his superior is his former classmate whom he used to be able to beat in the training ground. After entering the organization and being trained by them… Kurokawa Saki has become a monster who could beat him up without any difficulty.
Thinking about how many times he was thrown by Kurokawa Saki in the training ground, Minoru felt his body hurt.
"That's true, my Boss also often did that." Kazami Yuya sighed deeply.
"My superior will call me, even in the middle of the night, to work. How can I have enough free time to watch the concert in that situation?"
"It's the same for me. My boss will ask me to retrieve files out of nowhere and it has to be done within a short time limit…"
The two people who were 'oppressed' by their superior couldn't help but look at each other and felt that they had found a good friend.
They found that the situation of the other party was extremely similar to their own.
Moreover….
"But even if the work is hard, I admire my boss very much. He works even harder than me." Kazami Yuya admired Furuya Rei greatly. Even though he was so tired every single day because of work, he will still do it.
"You're right. I also admire my superior so much. She's so capable that she could do the work of 10 of us." Minoru sighed.
