"Achoo!" In the UDI office, Tokairin Yūko sneezed. The tracking from the night before had given her a cold.
Even though she’d taken cold medicine, she was still sneezing today.
As she wiped her nose with a tissue, Tokairin Yūko couldn’t help but feel resentful toward Misumi Mikoto. If it hadn’t been for her actions last night, she wouldn’t have felt compelled to follow her and ended up catching a cold from worry. Discover hidden tales at novelhall.Côm
With this thought, Tokairin Yūko couldn’t help but look at Misumi Mikoto, who was sitting nearby. Today, Misumi was looking radiant, with rosy cheeks and glowing skin. Even without makeup, she still looked stunning.
Seeing Misumi Mikoto’s appearance, Tokairin Yūko felt even more annoyed and couldn’t resist sliding her chair closer. With an accusatory gaze, she asked in a low voice, "Culprit Misumi Mikoto, what were you doing with Professor Chen Yu last night?"
"Tokairin? What’s up? Didn’t I tell you yesterday? Last night I simply invited Professor Chen Yu to dinner," Misumi Mikoto, looking at Tokairin Yūko’s strange expression and furrowing her brows, explained her whereabouts from the night before.
Of course, Misumi Mikoto hid the part about following Chen Yu to the Necromantic Space afterward. That was not something an ordinary person like Tokairin Yūko needed to know.
However, at that moment, Kube Rokuro, who was nearby, peered over at Misumi Mikoto’s wrist before interjecting to Tokairin Yuko, "Doctor Tokairin... I’m sorry, but I was the one who gave this to Dr. Misumi. I was supposed to give it to her yesterday, but I forgot to bring it. So, I ran into Dr. Misumi on my way here this morning and was able to give it to her."
As Kube Rokuro spoke, his expression turned shy and embarrassed, and he lowered his head in apology to Tokairin Yuko, "I’m really sorry for the misunderstanding."
Tokairin Yuko looked at Kube Rokuro skeptically. Although his gaze flickered, the shyness and remorse on his face seemed genuine. Doubtfully she asked, "You gave it?" After Kube Rokuro reaffirmed his answer, she nodded, finally believing his words.
Even though the matter of the bracelet could be explained away, Tokairin Yuko still harbored suspicions about what had transpired the previous evening between Misumi Mikoto and Chen Yu. But before she could speak again, the Nakado Department came by, dropping a file on Tokairin Yuko’s desk, "Here are the autopsy records of the body from this morning. Get the tests done quickly; I need the analysis report urgently."
Having said that, he walked away towards the water cooler with his cup, as if none of this concerned him in the slightest.
With the interruption from Kube Rokuro and the Nakado Department, Tokairin Yuko found it inappropriate to continue the conversation and returned to her desk. She opened the file that had just been thrown over by the Nakado Department and started working on it resignedly.
Behind her, Misumi Mikoto, watching Tokairin Yuko finally stop questioning her, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off her chest. Glancing at Kube Rokuro, who was busying himself with his work while Tokairin Yuko continued to mutter to herself, she picked up her phone and sent Kube Rokuro a message, "Thank you."
"Don’t mention it; I’m still looking forward to learning magic from you, Senior Misumi!" Kube Rokuro replied.
