"It's always better to be prepared. If you need to go to the restroom while you're at work, having this will make things easier."
Matsuda waved his hand.
"Alright, it's almost time. I need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department now."
Just as Matsuda was about to leave, Kujo's second-in-command, Sasaki, came running in, panting.
"Prosecutor Kujo, I've heard..."
He had just come in when he saw Matsuda about to leave.
"Officer Matsuda, are they talking about you?"
"Who said anything?" Matsuda paused for a moment. "Prosecutor Kujo injured her foot, so I brought her here this morning, and I'll pick her up after get off work this afternoon."
“No need. I will personally escort Prosecutor Kujo back tonight,” Sasaki said hostilely.
“Well…” Matsuda looked at Kujo.
"Ahem," Kujo coughed lightly, "Sasaki, my leg has been bothering me these past few days, so I might not be able to handle some of the work properly. You just focus on these tasks."
“But isn’t it inconvenient for Officer Matsuda to be at the Metropolitan Police Department…” Sasaki still wanted to persuade him.
"Alright, that's enough. You can go back to work now," Kujo instructed with a stern face.
"……yes,"
Sasaki glanced at Matsuda resentfully, then turned and left the office.
"No wonder she's the Madonna of the prosecutor's office. Looks like your deputy has a crush on you too?" Matsuda joked.
"Alright, stop joking around. Aren't you going to the Metropolitan Police Department?" Kujo glanced at his watch. "Hurry up and get there, or you'll be late."
"What happened..."
Matsuda noticed the time and hurriedly ran towards the parking lot.
……
In the evening, just as it was time to leave work, Matsuda arrived at Kujo's office.
"You..." Kujo glanced at the time, "You skipped your post early?"
"Isn't it because I was worried you'd be getting impatient?" Matsuda chuckled.
Actually, it was almost time to leave work today.
Professor Agasa made a phone call, saying he was taking Conan and the others on a treasure hunt in the countryside, and the four mischievous kids ended up catching two jewel thieves!
It was already close to evening, and Matsuda didn't want to wander into the wilderness so late at night.
Anyway, the culprit has already been caught by Conan and the others. After reporting the matter to Inspector Gure,
Before he could speak, Matsuda slipped away first.
Inspector Megure searched the office for a long time but couldn't find Matsuda.
In the end, they could only take Takagi and Chiba, the two laborers, and head to the location mentioned by Professor Agasa.
……
Just like in the morning, Kujo was carried by Matsuda in a princess carry from the office to the parking lot, once again drawing everyone's attention.
This made Kujo bury her face in Matsuda's arms, feeling a little embarrassed.
One day is more than enough time for the prosecutor's office to investigate Matsuda's identity.
Throughout the journey, Matsuda was constantly met with angry glares, but he was long since immune to it.
Because of Sato, he's constantly being glared at by those people in the First Division at the Metropolitan Police Department.
And then there's Yumi, who mentioned last time that she was harassed by Matsuda.
Even today, when Matsuda goes to a restaurant at noon, he is still targeted by male patrol officers from the Ministry of Transportation.
……
"Prosecutor Kujo, let me take you..."
When Matsuda carried Kujo to the parking lot, Kujo's deputy, Sasaki, was already waiting there.
“No need, Sasaki,” Kujo said calmly. “There are still some parts of the previous case that I haven’t figured out yet. I’ll need you to work overtime tonight to study them carefully.”
“Yes…” Sasaki replied in a low voice.
Matsuda helped Kujo into the passenger seat, then started the car himself.
As I turned out of the parking lot, I saw Sasaki standing there, stunned.
That figure looked incredibly forlorn...
"It seems your deputy is quite devoted," Matsuda remarked.
“He’s not my type,” Kujo said softly. “I told him that before, but he just kept insisting.”
Bro, this won't do...
Matsuda looked at Sasaki with sympathy, then drove Kujo back to her apartment.
……
The same thing happened every day for the next few days.
Until a week later.
That evening, Matsuda carried Kujo on his back and had just entered the apartment.
Kujo calmly replied, "My foot is much better now, so you don't need to take me tomorrow."
In fact, except for the first two days when her foot injury was severe and she couldn't walk, she was actually unable to walk.
In the following days, Kujo was able to walk a little on the ground.
For some reason, she didn't tell Matsuda about these things.
She didn't say anything, and Matsuda didn't ask.
"If you don't need me to see you off tomorrow, then I'll be leaving tonight." Matsuda stretched. "I've been sleeping on the sofa every day for the past few days, and I'm feeling a bit unwell. I'll go home tonight and get a good night's sleep."
Chapter 68: To be a beast, or worse than a beast?
"You...you should sleep here tonight. It's not convenient to go back so late," Kujo said in a low voice.
"Huh? Sleeping on the sofa again? I've really had enough of that!" Matsuda complained with a bitter face.
"I only told you to sleep on the sofa on the first day, but I didn't make you sleep on the sofa afterwards!"
After saying this, Kujo quickly walked into the bedroom.
They let me sleep on the sofa on the first day, but then they didn't let me sleep on it afterwards?
Matsuda pondered the meaning of her words carefully.
"No way..." Matsuda scratched his face, then quickly looked up at the bedroom.
Normally, after Kujo goes in, he will close the door.
But today, the bedroom door was left a crack open.
Upon seeing this, Matsuda felt his whole body and heart pounding violently.
To go in, or not to go in?
That's a problem!
I swore on the first day that if I sneaked into Kujo's room that night, I would be a beast!
Matsuda stroked his chin, looking troubled.
But now that the woman has made it so clear, if he doesn't go, wouldn't he be worse than an animal?
Is it to be a beast, or worse than a beast?
And why does Kujo seem so strange tonight?
Matsuda paused for a moment, then quickly put the question out of his mind.
As for the former beastly issue...
Sigh... Men really are all beasts!
After only a second of thought, Matsuda decisively chose to reveal his true nature.
He ripped off his tie, quickly pushed open the bedroom door, and slipped inside.
……
The next day, when Matsuda woke up in bed, Kujo was already up.
She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, combing her long hair one stroke at a time.
"About last night..." Matsuda began.
“Nothing happened last night,” Kujo said calmly. “My foot is healed, and I’ve packed your things. You can take them with you in a bit.”
"……it is good."
Matsuda never expected that Kujo would become so cold after just one night. No wonder he felt her attitude was a bit strange last night...
From getting dressed to leaving the house, Matsuda was somewhat dazed.
Something's not right with this plot.
Why do I always get the feeling that he got dumped by a girl?
……
Kujo's foot injury has healed, and today she drove Matsuda to the Metropolitan Police Department first.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, Matsuda, carrying his belongings, was about to get out of the car...
Kujo suddenly said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but when I passed the prosecutor's exam, I swore an oath at my father's grave to dedicate my life to the prosecutor's office."
"Your father certainly won't be happy with you looking like this."
Matsuda lowered his hand, which had already touched the doorknob, and turned to look at Kujo.
