In Detective Conan: Intercepting Miwako Sato at the Start

Page 113

Since he was already busy with work at the Metropolitan Police Department, and it was a rare break, Yuuki Takada naturally didn't want to be disturbed by the ringing of the bell.

I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to deal with them right now.

I casually tossed my phone aside, intending to rest for fifteen minutes before getting up, but I never expected to find my phone lying at the foot of the bed.

ding dong ding dong...

The bell kept ringing.

What exactly do you want?

How annoying!

Yuki Takada got up and went to the foot of the bed, only to find a text message from Miwako Sato on his phone.

Miwako Sato?

call!

It startled me; I thought something had happened at the Metropolitan Police Department again.

I glanced at the text message from Miwako Sato.

However, to be honest, I haven't really been in contact with Miwako Sato since the test of courage event ended last night.

Miwako Sato: I took the day off today.

Yuuki Takada: What's wrong?

Miwako Sato: Takada-senpai, I'm so bored right now.

Yuki Takada: Me too.

No, what on earth is Miwako Sato up to?!

Anyway, there shouldn't be anything important.

Seeing the few comforting words sent by Yuuki Takada, Miwako Sato suddenly became a little nervous.

Weiwei lay down on the bed, looking at the text message sent by the other party on her phone screen.

I hate it.

Why am I so nervous?

It's just a simple chat with Takada-senpai, why be so coy?

Thinking it over, Sato Miwako quickly typed a text message: "Let's meet at Takeshima Station in two hours. It'll just be the two of us. It's a date."

what?

Looking at the text message from Miwako Sato on his phone, Yuuki Takada was momentarily stunned.

Why would Miwako Sato suddenly invite him at this time?

If Miwako Sato is serious...

They just want to invite me as a regular friend. Should I refuse?

However, I just told her that I was just as bored as she was, so I guess I'll just go out for a bit later.

……

Not long after, Yuki Takada arrived at Takeshima Station.

Yuuki Takada checked the time; there were still about ten minutes until their agreed-upon time.

However, out of politeness, Yuki Takada changed into a suitable white shirt before leaving the house.

Although he doesn't particularly like wearing white shirts, he still needs to be somewhat cautious when going on a date with someone.

However, there are really hardly any people around at this time.

"By the way, has Miwako Sato arrived yet? It's almost time for our appointment."

Fifteen minutes later, Yuuki Takada glanced at his watch and said indifferently, "What? It's already this late and she still hasn't arrived, even though I already knew."

About five more minutes passed, and Takada Yuki looked down and murmured, "I think we should go back."

"Takada-senpai..." Just then, a figure came running up from a short distance, panting heavily.

"Thank goodness you're still here, Takada-senpai. It seems this trip wasn't in vain." Sato Miwako came up to Takada Yuuki breathlessly and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Takada-senpai."

"I spent so much time preparing for this date, and I was in such a rush that I realized I'd forgotten my phone when I got to the station. I'm so sorry," Sato Miwako said, bowing sincerely.

"I'm very sorry."

"Takada-senpai, you're not angry with me, are you?" Sato Miwako glanced at the other person and couldn't help but ask.

"No...no, that's all." Yuuki Takada replied simply. "I glanced at the time, and it's already this late. I didn't expect you to actually come."

"What?" Sato Miwako asked accusingly, "Wait... what did you mean by that just now?"

"I...I'm sorry." Yuki Takada immediately panicked and became nervous. "Because we rarely go out together like this, except for the last time we went to Kyoto."

"It still feels a bit hard to imagine."

Sato Miwako lowered her head slightly and said softly, "So...didn't I tell you this was a date just for the two of us..."

"...I went through all that trouble to dress up like this to see you, how could I not come?"

Sato Miwako blushed slightly and whispered in Takada Yuuki's ear, "Hey, Takada-senpai, do I look good like this?"

When Yuki Takada's gaze finally fell on Miwako Sato in front of him, his breath hitched slightly without being noticed.

She wore a light lavender chiffon blouse with a delicate, drooping bow at the neckline, which trembled slightly with her still-breathing breaths.

The shirt is made of a slightly sheer material, and the cuffs have an elegant flared design, revealing a section of her slender wrist.

She paired it with a high-waisted, off-white A-line knee-length skirt. The skirt's clean cut perfectly accentuated her well-proportioned waistline, making her legs appear even straighter and longer.

She carried a small, off-white chain bag over her shoulder and wore a pair of low-cut flat shoes in the same color as her dress, revealing her clean ankles.

She seemed to have curled the ends of her hair specially for this meeting. Her chestnut-colored short hair was gently tied into a neat ponytail, giving her a more gentle and graceful look than when it was usually loose.

Her makeup was light and natural, except for her eyelashes, which were made exceptionally long, making her bright eyes even more striking. They were also glistening with moisture from running.

A ray of morning light shone on her, bathing her in a soft, warm glow.

Seeing that Yuuki Takada had not answered for a long time, Miwako Sato leaned forward and asked, "Don't you... have no thoughts at all?"

“…It looks good.” Yuuki Takada heard his voice was slightly lower than usual, with a hint of tension that was barely perceptible. “It’s a little different from usual, it has a very fresh feel to it, and it suits you very well…”

Chapter 137 Indirect Kiss

"And then?" Miwako Sato said softly, with dissatisfaction.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Yuuki Takada immediately praised, "I think the outfit you're wearing today is very nice."

"Thank you, I'm so happy," Miwako Sato said softly. "I dressed up especially for this date."

"What?" Yuki Takada was immediately startled upon hearing this news.

"Didn't you say before that you liked this kind of outfit?" Sato Miwako placed her hands on her upper body and said softly, "So..."

"Although I'm not used to wearing this kind of clothes out normally, this is the first time I've bought it to try it out."

"Why?" Yuuki Takada looked at Miwako Sato in front of him with an incredulous expression. "Wait... Miwako Sato just said that she dressed up specially for this date."

Could it be... that she's going along with her own preferences?

Before Yuuki Takada could react, Miwako Sato stepped forward, took Yuuki's hand, and ran towards a short distance away, saying, "Okay, let's go quickly."

"I have a lot of places I want to go today, and you have to come with me the whole time."

Seeing the current situation, Takada Yuuki was at a loss for what to do. "No, what... what's going on here!"

The two of them arrived at a dessert shop. Looking at the menu handed to them by the clerk, Sato Miwako was at a loss for what to do.

"Which one should we choose?" Seeing this, Sato Miwako turned to Takada Yuuki beside her and asked, "Takada-senpai, have you decided what to choose?"

"Not yet." Yuuki Takada didn't react for a moment, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face. He immediately said, "Sorry, to be precise, I don't quite understand the menu here. Let's choose this one then."

"Hehe..." Sato Miwako smiled faintly.

Yuki Takada is currently in a state of confusion.

I'm a little confused as to why Miwako Sato came with me...

Sato Miwako seemed to notice Takada Yuuki's confusion and immediately explained to him, "You probably don't know anything about this kind of shop, do you?"

“I know, I know.” Yuuki Takada listened, then suddenly remembered something. “I think I heard you mention it before. I remember you said it was your favorite shop.”

"So you remembered." Sato Miwako looked at him, a satisfied glint in her eyes. "This is your first memorable chocolate smoothie. Take a look, and try it."

Seeing how expectant the other person was, Yuuki Takada couldn't very well disappoint them, so he picked up the chocolate smoothie in front of him and started eating.

After taking a small bite, Yuuki Takada smiled with satisfaction.

"Is it good?" Sato Miwako asked, looking at Takada Yuuki beside her with expectant eyes.

"Hmm..." Yuki Takada nodded and said, "It tastes better than I expected."

"Really?" Sato Miwako asked softly, "But don't you think it's a little bitter?"

"Although it was a little bitter at first sip, I still thought it tasted great. After all, I just love drinking things that are a little bitter," Yuuki Takada commented on the chocolate smoothie in his hand.

"Then let me try it."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Yuuki Takada suddenly realized something and unconsciously exclaimed.

"Is that not okay? You're such a cheapskate." Sato Miwako looked at him with a serious expression.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Yuuki Takada decided to hand the chocolate smoothie in his hand to Miwako Sato beside him, saying, "You drink it."

Sasato Miwako leaned slightly forward and put the straw in her mouth, using his hand as a guide.

She drank very lightly, but her eyes remained fixed on Takada Yuuki, a sly glint in them.

"Hmm..." She let go of the straw, a little bit of chocolate residue on her lips. "You're lying! It really is a bit bitter."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, watching Takada Yuuki freeze in place, still holding that glass of shaved ice.

"Takada-senpai, you didn't expect me to indirectly kiss you, did you?" Sato Miwako looked at his strange expression.

"Don't worry, I was just teasing you." After saying that, Sato Miwako continued to drink the strawberry smoothie she had ordered.
