Why the Hell Didn't It Explode?!

"Seeing how nervous you were, I was just joking."

Fujino glanced at the fist in front of him and gave a soft, awkward laugh.

Although that fist would not hurt him much now.

This Tough Woman Miss was just far too big...

Of course, he meant her intimidation factor.

"..."

Sato Miwako unclenched her fist and pouted, finding those words far too familiar.

Back at the stadium, she had teased this brat in exactly the same way!

Damn it, and now the boomerang had come back to hit her!

As for being one-sidedly teased by a younger boy.

A Tough Woman Miss who had spent her whole life refusing to lose naturally could not accept that.

After reconsidering, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly. She feigned surprise. "Eh, so I'm a beauty in your eyes too?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

Fujino was speechless. He had no idea what this fierce woman was plotting again. "I was just telling the truth. Otherwise, why would so many officers be pursuing you?"

"Actually, big sis here likes you quite a bit!"

Sato Miwako wore a gentle expression and smiled teasingly. "When you think about it, a forbidden romance between a High School Detective and a detective, dying together because the world refuses to accept them... that really is romantic, isn't it?"

"Is that so? I recorded everything you just said. I'll report you in a moment."

Fujino silently pulled out his phone and pretended to ponder it. "A serving police officer targeting a minor—I don't really mind, but if this gets reported to the Metropolitan Police Department..."

He opened his contacts and curled his lips into a faint smile. "Officer Sato, you wouldn't want to get fired from both positions on the spot, would you?"

"Hey, are you actually taking this seriously?"
