Fortunately, Fushimi Roku reacted quickly and explained that he was just pretending and wasn't really unwell, thus avoiding getting an injection.

After all the commotion, the emergency doctor told the nurse to quickly send the people away; the patient indeed needed to rest and wasn't suitable to receive visitors.

But just as Minamoto Tamako and the others left, Kujo Yua came over. The little nurse was in a dilemma, unable to drive her away or let her stay, so she could only look back at the emergency doctor.

Kujo Yua saw their predicament and voluntarily said, "I'll just say a couple of words, it won't take long."

The emergency doctor led the nurse away, providing very responsible instructions before leaving: "Be careful not to agitate the patient, and if there's any unusual symptom, press the emergency button immediately."

Kujo Yua nodded, indicating she understood.

Once the outsiders were gone, Kujo Yua sat down by Fushimi Roku's bed and peeled an orange for him; if outsiders saw this, they might think it was a mother visiting her severely injured son.

Kujo Yua prepared herself, having the draft ready in her mind: "Fushimi-kun..."

Fushimi Roku turned his head: "Yes?"

Kujo Yua asked, "Want an orange?"

Fushimi Roku said, "If there's something, just say it directly. If you really want to offer me an orange, feeding me is fine too."

If it were someone else, Kujo Yua might actually feed them herself, showing respect for talent, nothing to be embarrassed about!

But since the other person was Fushimi Roku, her daughter's boyfriend, she couldn't do that, so she ate the orange herself.

Tsk, so sour.

With a straight face, Kujo Yua put the remaining orange aside and asked, "How did you know the coordinates of Cat Island?"

Fushimi Roku retorted, "How should I know?"

Kujo Yua said, "I told you, I sent you to Cat Island for a mission."

Fushimi Roku agreed with an 'um' sound, not opposing. Kujo Yua continued asking, but Fushimi Roku didn't answer. Instead, he countered with 'how should I have done it' and 'how should I have known,' to which Kujo Yua answered one by one.

Finally, after completing the report, Kujo Yua knew it was time to negotiate terms, so she forced a smile and asked, "When are you planning to take Tamako back to Hokkaido?"

"I don't know, the tickets aren't booked yet."

Fushimi Roku rested his chin on his arm, pondering as he spoke: "She feels it's a bit too soon to meet the parents, maybe not quite appropriate..."

"You're overthinking it; it's just meeting the parents, not an engagement," Kujo Yua said, "There are couples who meet the parents two or three years before getting engaged. Meeting the parents is just a sign of 'serious dating.'"

"Meeting the parents and meeting the family head aren't the same thing, right?" Fushimi Roku wasn't fooled. He snapped out of it and looked at Kujo Yua, "If the family head isn't satisfied with me, won't they chop me up?"

"Of course not," Kujo Yua said earnestly, "Back then, I was with Tamako's father against my parents' wishes too, and yet my father didn't chop him up."

Fushimi Roku felt slightly relieved, thinking Kujo Yua made sense. Originally, he also thought it was a bit soon to meet the parents now.

He and Tamako had been ambiguous for over a year, yet they've officially been together for less than four months. To be directly engaged felt somewhat rushed... But if it's just to meet an elder and express a 'serious dating' intention, it seemed fine.

It might even heat up their relationship!

Fushimi Roku agreed, saying he would take Tamako back to Hokkaido at the end of the month, and Kujo Yua also agreed, promising to contact the family head and schedule a time before informing Fushimi Roku.

Then she would give Minamoto Tamako some time off to visit her family.

The first transaction reached a conclusion, but Fushimi Roku wasn't easily fooled and wouldn't give up the chance to profit just for beauty. His 'um-ing' just now was buying time to harvest the fruits of victory!

"Oh, right!"

Fushimi Roku pretended to just remember something: "I have a friend who wants to hire me as a company legal advisor... I'm not planning to climb higher in the Police Department, just preparing for retirement later. Do you think it's suitable to juggle two jobs?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Kujo Yua said: "You're saying you want to be both a policeman and a legal advisor for the underworld?"

"Is there a problem with that?" Fushimi Roku asked, looking innocent.

"..."
