Yokohama is Japan's third-largest city after Tokyo and Osaka, and its population and economy also rank at the top in Japan.
After a two-hour train ride, he finally arrived at the station.
Heiji walked out of the station.
"Heiji, over here."
Outside, next to a sedan, a woman waved at him.
She was tall, wearing a dark green top, dark capri pants, and a light scarf around her neck. She had a cap on her head and large sunglasses covering her face. She stood prettily not far away, looking fresh and beautiful.
Heiji walked over and smiled at her. "Yoko, I called not long ago, and you're already here."
"Heiji, get in the car first."
This woman was Yoko Okino. She looked around, signaling him to get in.
Heiji was speechless. Get in... why are you sitting in the passenger seat?
Looking at Yoko Okino, who was already seated in the passenger seat, he had no choice but to drive.
The black Mazda drove smoothly on the highway.
"Heiji, I'm so happy to see you."
Yoko Okino took off her sunglasses, her beautiful eyes smiling.
"It looks like I will have to trouble you to take care of me. I am not familiar with Yokohama at all."
Heiji gazed ahead, smiling faintly.
"No trouble. It is my honor to entertain you, Heiji."
"Yoko, if others hear you say that, I will be in danger."
Heiji made a joke about Yoko Okino's enthusiasm.
"How could that be? Heiji, you are my idol. Didn't we agree before? Just call me Yoko."
Yoko Okino blinked her beautiful eyes at Heiji, full of expectation.
Glancing at Yoko Okino's expectant look, Heiji thought for a moment and nodded. "Then I will rely on the superstar Yoko's care from now on."
"Hehe."
Yoko Okino's crisp laughter rang inside the car.
"I happened to be shopping nearby just now. I received your call and came right away."
Heiji nodded. "No wonder you were so fast. I thought you were waiting for me on purpose. It seems I misunderstood."
Yoko Okino paused slightly, then smiled brightly, her face slightly red. "If it is for you, Heiji, I don't mind waiting."
Her voice was very quiet, and cars passed by on the road, creating noise.
Heiji drove the car with a calm face.
Yoko Okino breathed a sigh of relief, the blush on her face slowly fading. He shouldn't have heard it.
"Heiji, can you help me buy some clothes?"
Since he didn't know what to do in Yokohama anyway, accompanying this big star shopping was fine.
Yoko Okino smiled faintly.
Heiji parked the car in the shopping street's parking lot and followed the disguised Yoko Okino inside.
"Heiji, what do you think of this dress?"
"Heiji, say, should I buy the green one or the red one?"
"Heiji, look, aren't the pants a bit big?"
"Heiji, the hats here seem very nice."
Without realizing it, Yoko Okino was already holding Heiji's arm, strolling through the entire shopping street.
Heiji didn't mind. He could see that Yoko Okino was very relaxed and happy.
Someone seemed to be following them.
Heiji frowned. No killing intent, and the tracking technique is unprofessional. It must be paparazzi.
Since there was no danger, he didn't bother to pay attention.
Later, in a coffee shop.
Yoko Okino sat down with a satisfied face, gazing at Heiji. "Heiji, thank you. This is the happiest shopping trip since I became a star."
Her voice was sweet, but deep down it carried a trace of loneliness.
Heiji smiled faintly. "If you feel bored, come to Osaka to find me. I will take you around Osaka."
Yoko Okino's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Really?"
"Mm, it is a promise."
Yoko Okino suddenly smiled a beautiful, genuine smile.
Click!
Suddenly, the faint sound of a camera shutter reached Heiji's ears.
"Yoko, there seem to be paparazzi nearby."
Heiji raised his head and looked outside the coffee shop. Through the glass, the crowd moved by, and there was no sign of the paparazzi anymore.
"They already left."
Unexpectedly, Yoko Okino didn't care at all.
"Why don't you care?"
Yoko Okino smiled faintly. "I don't like scandals, but if it is a scandal with you, Heiji, it is a good thing for me. The modern-day Sherlock Holmes, the genius detective who leaves both the Night Baron and Kaitou Kid helpless. Hehe, I am very willing to have you as my rumored boyfriend."
Yoko Okino looked at Heiji proudly.
Heiji shrugged casually. "It seems I am going to have a rumored superstar girlfriend."
"Hehe."
Yoko Okino was amused by Heiji again, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.
In the darkness, looking at the photo in his hand, a shadowy figure revealed a sinister smile. "Tsk tsk, the superstar's secret boyfriend should be worth quite a bit of money."
He accompanied Yoko Okino for the whole afternoon.
When the sun set, Heiji arrived at a hotel following Yoko Okino's directions.
"Heiji, let's stay here tonight."
Heiji frowned. "Yoko, aren't you filming a TV series? Why not stay with the crew?"
Yoko Okino blinked her big eyes mischievously. "Because I want to entertain you alone. The crew stays in countryside hotels, and that wouldn't be good enough for you."
In the corner opposite the hotel entrance, camera flashes flickered constantly.
Heiji turned his head to look.
The street was busy with traffic; a large bus blocked the view.
"Heiji, what's wrong?" Yoko Okino looked at Heiji doubtfully.
"Now you can't escape being a rumored girlfriend."
Heiji smiled helplessly.
"Paparazzi again?"
Yoko Okino frowned. If it was just being photographed eating, that was nothing. But being photographed entering a hotel was completely different. The paparazzi would blow it out of proportion.
"If Kazuha and Sonoko misunderstand, that would be troublesome. Heiji, let's hurry. Call them later to explain."
Watching Yoko Okino hurriedly walk into the hotel, Heiji shook his head helplessly. Like this, we are probably getting photographed again.
Sure enough, flashes flickered again in the opposite corner.
"One after another. Yoko Okino discovered she was being photographed and felt guilty, leaving her boyfriend behind and hurrying into the hotel. Tsk tsk, the news publisher will be very happy."
"However, let's first see if this big star is interested in these photos. If she is, then we can get money from her for a long time, hahaha."
In the corner, sinister and arrogant laughter rang out.
When Heiji walked into the hotel, Yoko Okino had already booked the room.
"Heiji, let's hurry."
Room 520!
Yoko Okino opened the door with the key card and walked in quickly.
"Heiji, hurry up."
Seeing Heiji still standing outside, she immediately pulled him in and closed the door.
"Yoko, where is my room?"
"Your room?"
Yoko Okino looked at Heiji with confusion.
The room fell silent.
