Tokitsu Junya paused, looking at Matsuda's departing figure with a puzzled expression.
Before he could figure out what was going on, several reporters from Nichiri TV squeezed through the crowd.
"Mr. Tokitsu Junya, are you willing to sacrifice an innocent girl for your own reputation...?"
"Mr. Tokizu Junya, do you really feel absolutely no remorse towards Ms. Mizuguchi Kana?"
"Mr. Tokatsu Junya, how could you..."
Chapter 139 Drunk
The reporters' questions, one after another, made Tokitsu Junya instantly understand Matsuda's meaning.
As he recalled the words he had just spoken, his body and mind felt as if they had instantly fallen into an extremely cold ice cave.
From top to bottom, inside and out, everything was ice-cold.
……
"Aren't you going?"
Matsuda, seeing Tokitsu Junya surrounded by reporters from Nikko TV, asked Mizunashi Rena beside him,
"I remember you also hosted a news program, right?"
"I've already benefited greatly from being able to host the Detective Koshien tournament; it would be better to give this opportunity to other colleagues."
Rena Mizunashi shook her head, her beautiful blue cat eyes fixed on Matsuda for a moment, then she suddenly said,
"Officer Matsuda, you are a very good policeman."
"what?"
Matsuda was taken aback, somewhat confused about what she was trying to say.
"To do so much for a girl who attempted suicide, Officer Matsuda, you are truly great," Rena Mizunashi praised.
"great……"
Matsuda never expected that this Detective Koshien tournament would leave such an impression on the beautiful host.
"Don't forget, I'm a renowned detective in the Metropolitan Police Department. Isn't it my duty to do these things?"
“Detective…” Rena Mizunashi bit her lip and suddenly said, “Officer Matsuda, if I ever need your help in the future, will you… help me?”
"Why do you ask that? Are you in trouble?" Matsuda asked, looking into those beautiful, deep blue eyes.
"Not yet, I'm just saying in case in the future..." Rena Mizunashi shook her head.
“Of course,” Matsuda nodded. “As friends, it’s only right that we help each other.”
"Friends?" Rena Mizunashi was taken aback.
"What? The famous TV host, Rena Mizunashi, doesn't recognize me as a friend? I'm truly heartbroken!" Matsuda covered his face with one hand and said, feigning disappointment.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant..." Rena Mizunashi quickly shook her head.
"Hehe, it's okay, I was just joking,"
Seeing the somewhat flustered but beautiful news anchor, Matsuda smiled and assured her,
"In short, if you encounter any trouble, Miss Mizunashi, please feel free to call me anytime, and I will definitely help you."
……
The first episode of Detective Koshien has ended, and everyone else has left.
In the studio, only the staff cleaning up the scene remained.
Matsuda put on his coat and had just stepped out of the studio when he ran into Sato at the door.
"Miwako, weren't you... supposed to be taking Tsuchio Hiroki back to the detention center?"
Matsuda suddenly felt a little guilty; he had the feeling that his girlfriend had caught him cheating.
"Are we going to find Nanatsuki?"
Sato glanced at Koshimizu, who was standing in the stairwell waiting not far away.
"Yes, you saw her condition today. I think it's best to stay with her for now."
Matsuda thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
"So, I can't be with you today..."
"Alright, now that you've said that, why would I stop you?" Sato smiled and gave Matsuda a push. "Go on."
“Miwako, Nanatsuki and I really…” Matsuda wanted to explain.
"Alright, I'll lend you to her tonight. Keep her company and help her relax."
Sato looked at Matsuda, straightening his collar as he spoke earnestly.
"But you also need to tell her that this is only for today; I won't be so generous again in the future!"
……
After parting ways with Sato, Matsuda accompanied Koshimizu as they walked out of the Nichiri TV station.
At the main gate, the two encountered Tokitsu Junya, who was being besieged by reporters from various media outlets.
This guy used to desperately want to be famous.
And this time, with the live broadcast of the first episode of Detective Koshien, he did indeed become famous.
Looking at Tokatsu Junya, who appeared increasingly disheveled under the reporters' questions, Yue Shui softly uttered two words.
"Deserved it."
"Alright, we need to hurry up and leave. If we get spotted by reporters, we probably won't be able to leave either."
Matsuda took Koshimizu's hand, and the two of them, with their heads down, quickly left the Nikko TV station while all the reporters were surrounding Tokatsu Junya.
Where do you want to go now?
On the street, Matsuda looked at Koshimizu and said,
"Your sister Miwako instructed me to keep you company and help you relax tonight."
"Did she really say that?"
Koshimizu was somewhat surprised. Although she and Sato had been calling each other "sister" these past two days...
But at most, it's just a superficial sisterhood, and both of them are well aware of that.
“Of course,” Matsuda reached out and patted Koshimizu’s head. “Miwako may be a little fierce at times, but she is very kind at heart.”
“Miwako-neechan,” Koshimizu bit her lip, seemingly hesitating about something.
However, when she looked up at Matsuda, her initial guilt instantly transformed into determination.
"sorry."
"Huh? What do you mean, 'sorry'?" Matsuda was a little confused.
"It's alright, this apology isn't for you, senior!"
Koshimizu put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and almost touched Matsuda.
She tilted her head, her gaze sweeping over Matsuda's still slightly damp chest, and suggested, "Senpai, how about we go for a drink?"
"Now?"
Matsuda glanced at his watch; it was almost 11 p.m.
"What? Didn't you just say you'd stay with me all night? Are you going back on your word?"
Yue Shui pouted and complained.
"...Fine, I'll do whatever you say tonight!" Matsuda nodded helplessly.
That night, Matsuda was dragged to several bars by Koshimizu.
Every time she went in, Koshimizu would order a lot of drinks for Matsuda, but she herself would drink very little.
Matsuda didn't want to drink too much, but he couldn't resist Koshimizu's coquettish pleas and ended up drinking it all.
Then he fell into a daze.
……
The next day, when Matsuda woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
He rubbed his head, which ached from the hangover, and looked at the unfamiliar room in front of him. The events of last night, when he was drunk, gradually came to mind.
No wonder that girl didn't drink herself last night, but kept urging me to drink. So that's what she was thinking.
Thinking of this, Matsuda hurriedly threw off the covers.
He was getting ready to get out of bed, but as soon as he sat up, he heard a "hissing" sound.
Looking down, he saw that the bed sheet beneath him had been torn with a large rip by his hand.
It turned out that the hotel sheets were already torn, and when Matsuda got up, he didn't notice it. His hand accidentally snagged on the torn part, tearing the already tattered sheets even further.
"What a lousy hotel! The sheets are even tattered!"
Matsuda grumbled, jumped out of bed, and tried to find Koshimizu in the room.
Unfortunately, after searching all around, we couldn't find the girl.
On the table, there was only a cold breakfast, a meat bun that Matsuda always liked.
Chapter 140 Ran away again
Is this something left behind by the Yue River?
What about her?
The Matsuda couple ate the cold meat buns, then drank their milk as they walked out of the room.
At the hotel reception, Matsuda inquired and learned that Koshimizu had left just as dawn was breaking.
"By the way, I think I tore your sheets just now?" Matsuda asked irritably. "How much do you owe me? Also, were your sheets already torn? Were they specifically designed to rip off drunk customers like me?"
