"It's truly breathtaking. To think Wise's cooking skills have reached this level. Paired with a gentle personality, it's no wonder so many girls are devoted to you."
Qingyi, sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but exclaim. Her gaze, however, was on Aurelia and Odette, as well as Anby and Nekomata, who had happened to come over for a free meal.
"Hey, why is there a Public Security officer here? Could it be that you've already started to infiltrate the Public Security Bureau, Wise? Meow." Nekomata covered her small mouth with her hand and whispered to Wise beside her. She and Anby had judged from Qingyi's uniform that she was an officer. And it looked like her relationship with Wise was very good, so it couldn't help but arouse their imagination.
"Not at all. And that kind of thing is a crime, right? If I really did that, I would be taken away."
"Eh? But even if you don't do that, you'll be taken away if you're discovered, right..."
"Ahem, Nekomata..."
"M-meow, s-sorry, meow." After being reminded by Anby, Nekomata, who had almost let it slip, hurriedly corrected herself.
Qingyi on the side, seeing this, a smile outlined at the corner of her mouth. "Oh? What did Miss Nekomata mean just now?"
"Th-that... nothing. It was just a joke, meow~" Nekomata tried to get away with it.
But Qingyi, seeing this, forcefully suppressed the smile on her face and continued to speak in a serious tone, "So it was a joke? But I always feel something is not right. How about I send someone to investigate?"
"Meow-woo?! N-no need! There's nothing at all! There's no need for the Public Security Bureau to send a large force over, meow!" Nekomata's face was a little nervous. She looked at Anby on the side for help but found that the latter was quite calm and even wanted to pick up some food to feed Wise.
It was also at this time that she discovered that Wise and Belle, the parties involved, were also quite calm and even had a faint smile on their faces. At this point, Nekomata also realized that she should have been teased. But due to Qingyi's status as an officer, she was not sure.
Looking at her in a dilemma, Wise at this time also couldn't bear to continue to tease her and waved his hand at Qingyi. "That's about enough, Qingyi. If this goes on, Nekomata will be too pitiful."
"Ha, alright. Actually, I also think I went a bit too far. I'm sorry, Miss Nekomata."
"Meow?" Hearing their conversation, Nekomata finally confirmed the thought in her heart. This Officer Qingyi was clearly also one of them. Anby clearly noticed it before, and she didn't even tell me! Making me worry for nothing! So annoying, meow!
Afterward, Wise also explained his relationship with Qingyi. The latter decisively admitted it and at the same time observed Nekomata's and Anby's expressions. She found that there were no hostile emotions like rejection. There was only...
"Mhm. In that case, we can be considered to have a Public Security Bureau background in the future?" As Anby calmly analyzed, her gaze also fell on Qingyi, who was not far from her. The latter, however, shook her head.
"That's not possible. Although I like Wise, public duty is greater than private feelings. For now, we are only maintaining the status quo because there is no evidence."
"No evidence?"
"Yes. At least in my visual records, there is no evidence recorded that is unfavorable to Wise." As Qingyi spoke, she once again showed her signature gesture, closing her right eye while holding up her right index finger.
"I see, I understand..." Anby nodded after hearing this. She had been worried about Qingyi's identity before, but now the other party's answer could be said to be the most appropriate.
Just like that, the few of them finished dinner together. Wise also had to send Qingyi back. As for Anby and Nekomata, they would choose to rest here tonight.
After arriving at the station with Wise's company, Qingyi finally spoke up. "A life like that is also very good. If one day I leave the Public Security Bureau, I'll come and join you."
"Uh, is that something you can say?"
"It's just a joke. No need to care. After all, as a Jade Doll, my value is extremely high. Even if you really have the money to buy me, the Public Security Bureau will not sell."
Hearing this, Wise's hand holding Qingyi's small hand couldn't help but tighten a little. The latter, seeing this, seemed to have misunderstood a little but also had an indifferent look. "Could it be that Wise is worried about breaking me? You can rest assured on this point. High value means good quality. Of course, the premise is that the parts are not lost. Otherwise, it will be troublesome."
Qingyi said and also held the nano-electrostatic elimination device on her head with her hand. In fact, it was the pair of twin tails. Seeing this, Wise couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Because not long ago, he had been so emotional that he had accidentally pulled one of them off. At that time, it really gave him a scare. But Qingyi had quickly pressed it back, and then it was as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, I'll be careful in the future..."
"There's no need. It's easy to find if it's lost in the room."
After talking to this point, Wise already didn't know how to continue the conversation. Fortunately, Qingyi saw that it was getting late. After saying goodbye, she entered the subway station. And Wise, after Qingyi left, also chose to return to the video store. But he ran into someone when he passed by the ramen shop.
"Hm? Wise, to be able to meet you here at this time, we are really fated. Well? Want to have some together?"
The one who said this was naturally No. 11. At this time, she was sitting at a seat in the Koi Noodle Shop, with a bowl of ramen with a red soup base in front of her. She was very enthusiastic, and a rare smile even appeared on her cold face. A reminder here, No. 11's affection had already reached 90. She was the type who was quite cold when unfamiliar, but once familiar, could even get married on the spot.
Wise naturally also noticed this. The other party was very similar to Anby.
"I just finished dinner. I'm not hungry now..."
"Mmm..."
"Alright. Actually, it's not impossible to have a little more ramen." Looking at No. 11's obviously disappointed expression, Wise ultimately couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"Good. This ramen shop is one of the main reasons I come to Sixth Street... of course, you are too."
"So I'm that important in No. 11's heart?"
"I thought you knew... you are far more important in my heart than you imagine."
When No. 11 answered, a few dots of red also appeared on her calm little face. This was a situation that had not even occurred when she was eating extra-spicy ramen. "A neighborhood where an acquaintance is active always gives me a different feeling... I know some officers who would brazenly take their lovers for a ride in a military vehicle in the garrison. This kind of lax style will only weaken the will and combat power of the army."
