…Anyway, tomorrow’s tasks are all in the evening.

The system silently complained: "A song called "Heart Is Too Soft" is given to you."

Furukawa Kumisa ignored it and worked hard all afternoon, trying to leave early without having to work overtime.

When she finally organized and uploaded the last information document, the sky was already dark.

She stretched, freed herself from the desk, said hello to Mirai Shimada, said goodbye, and left with her bag.

As a result, as soon as she walked out of the second class gate, she saw Matsuda Jinpei waiting for her.

When he saw her coming out, he stepped forward and invited her: "Tonight... want to have dinner together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of what Shimada Mirai said at noon today... No, we have to be tougher.

So he stepped forward and took Furukawa Kumisa's hand directly: "Let's go have dinner together."

Furukawa Kumisa was confused by him, stood still and shook off his hand, and said as coldly as possible: "I'm sorry, I've already made an appointment."

Matsuda Jinpei was stunned: "Who?"

Furukawa Kumisa fooled him without changing his expression: "Boyfriend..." Then after thinking about it, he added a critical hit, "We."

Matsuda Jinpei:......

Then she saw Matsuda Jinpei's expression change, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "...take me with you, there are so many people and it's so lively."

Furukawa Kumisa:......???

She cleared her throat: "...cough, I don't think this is appropriate..."

Matsuda Jinpei silently recited "tough" and "tougher" twice, and then said: "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel."

Furukawa Kumisa:…………????

"...The system, Matsuda Jinpei is also broken??"

System: "...don't ask me, I've told you that I've never seen this scene before."

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the abnormal Matsuda Jinpei in front of her and felt her hair standing on end. She found an excuse and evacuated quickly, fearing that he would do something to her like the first two bad men.

Matsuda Jinpei stood there, looking at Furukawa Kumisa who had fled, sighed, and called Takagi.

"Takagi, this is a bad idea of ​​yours..."

Furukawa Kumisa stepped into the door of Kudo's house and was dazzled again by the large bouquet of flowers in front of her.

Furukawa Kumisa: "...the Kudo family's garden is about to be wiped out by you."

But after saying this, she still took the bouquet of flowers, and then as expected, she heard the favorability prompt again.

"Congratulations to the host. The target Shui Akai's favorability with the host has increased by 2 points."

The reminder of a good impression is always pleasant, and it even puts a sincere smile on her face.

Seeing the smile on her face, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but move forward to hug her, but she stepped away: "Stop! Eat first!"

She discovered that since his favorability level soared, Akai Shuichi had become a maniac about sticking up, and he wanted to give her a kiss from time to time. Once he got involved, the meal would probably be sticky.

Furukawa Kumisa often hallucinated that the current Akai Shuichi was a huge black cat, walking with expensive steps, and would nuzzle up to him from time to time to act coquettishly, gentle and sultry.

Furukawa Kumisa feels that now he can understand a little bit how Haibara Ai felt when he saw his love brain.

The difference is that she was acting in the beginning, but Shuichi Akai is real now.

...even more terrifying.

She looked at Akai Shuichi who was busy serving her tea and fruits after the meal, and sighed: "Shuichi, actually you can... don't have to do this."

She picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth, then slowly said: "...I know you volunteered..."

Akai Shuichi rarely spoke and interrupted her, "Actually, I have always been curious... Why don't you accept my kindness to you?"

Furukawa Kumisa was stunned for a moment.

Akai Shuichi sat on the sofa next to her and put his arms around her from behind, "I know you are rejecting me... I can feel it. I thought you were still unwilling to forgive me at first, but I think I can wait. I

You can wait until the day you truly forgive me—"

He gently straightened her body so that she could look directly at her from the front, "But then I discovered that it's not that you haven't forgiven me - you would even be soft-hearted to me, but you just refused to accept me."

Akai Shuichi's tone was still very gentle, but she couldn't help but feel stiff: "You are soft-hearted towards me, feel guilty, and even feel a lot of reluctance... but you just refuse to accept it - as if there is some external force blocking you.

."

Furukawa Kumisa huddled in his arms, never expecting that he was supposed to be enlightening Shuichi Akai, but he would suddenly turn his back on the guest.

The secret in her heart was suddenly exposed, which made her feel a little cold all over.

He lifted her chin, lowered his head and came closer to her, "Can you tell me why?"

Furukawa Kumisa only felt extremely regretful - she should have known how perceptive Akai Shuichi was. She had shown so many unusual behaviors in front of him, and with his observation skills, he should have discovered the problem long ago.

He has never been a docile black cat, he has always been a cunning panther lying in wait.

As if aware of her stiffness, Akai Shuichi took her into his arms again and sighed to comfort: "...I'm sorry, I know you must have your own difficulties, I shouldn't have asked so frankly."

He stroked her back gently: "Your body feels a little cold. Is it uncomfortable somewhere?"

Furukawa Kumisa calmed down for a while, straightened up, and left his arms, "It's okay... then what, I have to leave first..."

She just wanted to leave this place that made her feel terrible, but Shuichi Akai held her shoulders.

He picked up the black tea on the table and said, "Drink some tea to warm yourself up."

She stiffly picked up the teacup he handed her, took a casual sip, almost just moistened her lips, and then hurriedly put down the teacup: "I really should go..."

Furukawa Kumisa was in a very confused state of mind right now. When Akai Shuichi opened his mouth to point out the "external force", her mind was in chaos. She just wanted to leave here first and then discuss the long term with the system.

If she was conscious, she would definitely be able to see the glimmer in Akai Shuichi's eyes when he looked at her teacup.

--but she didn't.

She could only hear Akai Shuichi sigh softly: "...I didn't drink enough."

Furukawa Kumisa's confused mind did not react: "What?"

Then she saw Akai Shuichi picking up the cup she had just put down, raising her head and taking a big sip. Just when she was still confused, he leaned over and hugged her.

Her waist was held by him, and the back of her neck was gently pressed by him. She was forced to stay in his arms, raised her head, and met his lips.

The warm tea was brought in, and she subconsciously frowned and rejected it, water stains dripping from the overlapping lips and teeth.

Akai Shuichi pinched her waist gently, she exclaimed and subconsciously swallowed the tea in her mouth.

After a moment, a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly swept through her body, and she realized that there was something wrong with the tea! She had been drugged!

She began to struggle and wanted to leave before the effects of the medicine took effect, but Shuichi Akai held her in his arms. He pinched her chin open and forced her to swallow all the tea without leaving a drop.

"Akai...Shuichi..."

Her consciousness was gradually pulled away from her body, her struggling strength slowly weakened, and she finally fell asleep in his arms.

At the last moment of her confusion, she heard his gentle voice.

"Sorry, this is the only way I can keep you."

Seeing Furukawa Kumisa fainting in his arms, Akai Shuichi restrained her for a while, and then slowly released his strength.

He glanced at the cup, hesitated for a moment, then took all the tea in the cup into his mouth and gave it to her again.

In the coma, she relied on her instinct to swallow subconsciously and drank all the tea mixed with medicine.

Akai Shuichi kissed away the water stains dripping from her lips, picked her up, took her back to the bedroom, carefully placed her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

When he was sleeping, Furukawa Kumisa removed all the defenses around him and lay on the bed quietly and obediently, lying next to him, just like the beautiful appearance they had in the long-lasting memories.

Akai Shuichi quietly stared at her sleeping face for a long time, then gently kissed her on the forehead.

She is a difficult person to deal with, and it is worth noting that he has revealed her worries in advance and confused her, so that he can take advantage of her and drug her.

It's just that... probably all his previous efforts were in vain.

He smiled bitterly, rubbed his eyebrows, and walked out of the room.

He dialed the phone: "Hey, she's already asleep... Well, the amount of medicine is enough for her to sleep until 4 o'clock. You can rest assured tomorrow... Just in case, I will turn on all the surveillance and infrared devices in the house."

, all the doors and windows are locked...well, everything is going according to plan."

After thinking about it, he still felt that for Furukawa Kumisa, one could never be too careful.

So Shuichi Akai walked into the room, took out the handcuffs, reached out and cuffed Furukawa Kumisa's right hand, and locked the other handcuff on the pillar at the head of the bed.

In order to prevent her from injuring herself while struggling in the handcuffs after she woke up, he thoughtfully put a towel on her wrists.

After everything was done, he kissed her forehead again.
