Online Guidance from Life Mentor Mr. Fujino

Fujino glanced at the group speechlessly, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Is it reasonable for me to die in the line of duty due to an explosion?

"Wow, a hero, Naoki!"

"The hero's car looks like it's coming!"

A sudden commotion arose among the onlookers of the parade. Upon hearing this, the children rushed over with great interest, and Mitsuhiko, carrying a video camera and having changed the videotape, followed them.

"But is it really okay for such a lively parade to continue like this?"

Professor Agasa glanced at the bustling crowd and asked Shiratori, "You just said that the fax mentioned something would happen during the parade..."

"That must have just been a prank."

Shiratori pondered, "At least for now, nothing unexpected seems to have happened."

"At least, does it look respectable?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes, observing the parade.

At the same time, a mission light screen appeared before his eyes:

[System Job Quest: Maliciously Hides Within the Parade]

Mission Summary: Amidst the grand parade, a bomb is hidden from everyone's attention, and behind the bomb seems to lie an unknown evil plan.

Mission Overview Objective: Locate the bomb hidden in the parade, solve the bombing case, and apprehend the criminal gang behind it.

Mission Rewards: 10 Detective Coins, 10 million Yen, 1000 Detective Reputation Points

"The bombing during the parade..."

Fujino lowered his eyes, rubbed his temples, took out his glasses and put them on, silently activating his Eagle Vision.

In an instant, the world became black and white.

As the world around him gradually became clearer, Fujino felt as if he had seen through the essence of this world.

He glanced back slightly, looking in the direction where Takagi had just parked his car.

In his memory, the first bomb in this case was placed under the car.

In the distance, there was a black sedan.

Underneath the car, a square spot of light stood out conspicuously.

"It really was there..."

Fujino murmured to himself, then glanced around.

However, with insufficient clues at the moment, he is unable to identify the suspect.

However, in his memory, the reason why that gang of robbers made bombs and attacked the parade seemed to be that they wanted to rob the Miho Post Office.

Okay, let's use the protest as an opportunity to bomb and loot the post office...

I really don't know what kind of people this gang of bandits are.

"Hey Yumi, what brings you here?"

"Of course, it's for issuing parking tickets."

Yumi Miyamoto looked at Takagi and replied, "I heard that a lot of people parked their cars on the side of the road here to watch the parade. Thinking about it, it seems like there's a lot of business to be made... so I came to take a look."

She paused, then glanced at Takagi's car parked on the side of the road. "Speaking of which, Takagi, your car seems to be parked on the side of the road. If you don't move it soon, I'm going to give you a huge ticket!"

"Yes! I'll move it right away!"

Takagi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked towards his car.

"Wait, Takagi."

Fujino followed suit.

"Um?"

Takagi turned around. "Advisor Fujino, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Have no idea."

Takagi looked at Fujino, who seemed to be saying he wanted to chat but didn't know what he wanted to talk about, and fell silent.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Takagi covered her slightly red face and couldn't help but whisper, "By the way, Advisor, could it be that Sato dislikes me?"

"I wouldn't say I'm annoying."

Fujino pondered, "She's just worried that you'll end up like Matsuda. After all, she herself said that the people she used to care about all met their tragic ends..."

"It's good that you don't hate me."

Takagi breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly thought of something, "But if that's the case, then she must care about me a lot too!"

Fujino: "..."

Your focus is really bizarre.

With a sigh, Fujino looked at him suspiciously. "Takagi, you don't actually like Sato, do you?"

"Well?!"

Takagi panicked for a moment. "Advisor... don't talk nonsense, I just think Officer Sato looks cool... not at all."

"You're really not being frank, huh..."

Fujino glanced at Takagi and thought the guy was such a coward.

After thinking for a moment, Fujino continued, "Actually, it's nothing. Anyone with eyes can see that Yumi has been shipping the two of you for a long time."

Well... that's one way of saying it.

Takagi scratched his head. "Sato doesn't seem to have any particular ideas. She just buries herself in cases all day long, like a crime-solving machine."

"That's normal, after all, she's the kind of tough, strong woman."

Fujino quietly said, "But deep down, he's actually quite vulnerable; he just uses a strong exterior to disguise himself."

"Well?"

Takagi was taken aback. "Advisor Fujino, you know Sato very well?"

"I'm just good at understanding people's hearts."

Fujino crossed his arms and said, "A person's character can generally be seen from their words, actions, and thoughts."

"Is it really possible?"

Takagi frowned and couldn't help but glance at Fujino.

"Don't look at me, you can't tell, I'm very good at pretending."

Fujino walked forward silently and slowly, thinking, "If you can see through other people's personalities, you naturally have to disguise yourself well."

"Haha, is that so?"

Takagi scratched his head. "But what kind of personality do I actually have?"

"Your personality..."

Fujino glanced at Takagi: "He seems a bit unreliable, but he is actually unreliable, even a bit hesitant, and has terrible luck. He's always confused... But he's quite reliable in crucial moments, like an unkillable cockroach."

Takagi: "..."

What's with this "looks unreliable, and actually unreliable" nonsense?

Okay, that makes a lot of sense.

"That makes sense."

Takagi sighed, "How could someone like me possibly be considered good enough?"

"Looking down on someone is one thing, looking down on someone is another."

Fujino crossed his arms. "It's just that you don't know how to please girls or create opportunities."

"Um?!"

Takagi was taken aback by these words and looked at Fujino: "What should we do?"

"Well, this level of difficulty is definitely beyond the scope of any walkthrough, but going out for a meal or shopping is still an option."

Fujino pondered for a moment, then spoke in the manner of a limited-time returning life mentor, Mr. Fuji, "For example, if you were slapped by her today, it's not necessarily a bad thing. You could say you said something wrong... Since you did something wrong, it's reasonable to apologize by taking her out for dinner and shopping, right?"

"That's right, very reasonable!"

Takagi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then a glint of light appeared in his eyes. "Thank you, Advisor Fujino!"

"Not loud enough, be more energetic!"

"Yes, Mr. Fujino!"

"Yoshi!"

"What are those two up to...?"

In the police car behind, Yumi Miyamoto looked at the energized Takagi and the teacher-like Mr. Fuji, and was momentarily bewildered.
