My Kazumi Can't Be This Silly

In front of a public phone booth on a street near Tokyo Tower.

The car stopped by the roadside, Shu Yunwen got out and entered the phone booth, then dialed his own mobile number.

The call connected, and immediately, Shu Yunwen heard Tsukamoto Kazumi's voice on the other end: "Hello, this is Tsukamoto Kazumi speaking, this is Shu Yunwen's phone. If you are looking for Shu Yunwen, please leave your contact information, and I will relay it to him later..."

"Kazumi-san, it's Shu Yunwen!" Shu Yunwen announced his identity.

Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately replied, "It's Yunwen-san! You finally contacted me. Are you done with your business? It's already dark, and the children should be sent home quickly. If they don't go home soon, their parents will definitely worry."

Shu Yunwen smiled and said, "Thank you, Kazumi-san, for looking after the children for me. I'm done with my business and will be there immediately. By the way, may I ask where Kazumi-san is now, and are the children with you?"

"Yes." Tsukamoto Kazumi nodded, then turned to look at the four little brats happily discussing something not far away. "Because it's dark, I don't dare to let the children run around. I'm taking them to Mingqi Cafe to rest right now..."

"Hmm... Kazumi-san, you weren't near the children when you answered the phone, were you?" Shu Yunwen asked again.

Tsukamoto Kazumi nodded, "That's right, I'm standing nearby now... Is something wrong, Yunwen-san?"

Shu Yunwen smiled slightly and continued, "It's nothing. By the way, Kazumi-san, I need you to do something for me. You must keep this a secret from everyone, absolutely do not tell anyone, including those children. Can you do that?"

"Uh... What is it?" Tsukamoto Kazumi hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Shu Yunwen said, "Take a look around now. Can you see three men in black suits? One of them is Japanese, and the other two are foreigners. The Japanese man is of average height and has a mustache. As for the two foreigners, one is strong and tall, and the other is shorter. Do you have anyone like that there? By the way, be careful when you look, don't let them notice you."

Shu Yunwen had observed the characteristics of these three men during the day, so he described them clearly.

"Let me see..." Tsukamoto Kazumi cautiously looked around a couple of times, then whispered, "Yunwen-san, there are three people here matching your description. Their features are the same, they are inside the cafe, and they are wearing sunglasses indoors."

"Thank you, Kazumi-san. Now, please go back and sit down and wait for me at the cafe. Also, keep an eye on the children and don't let them run around," Shu Yunwen instructed.

"Okay, Yunwen-san, I'll wait for you," Kazumi replied.

After the call ended on the other side, Shu Yunwen also hung up. Then he heard a tapping sound on the glass outside the phone booth. A young man shouted at Shu Yunwen, "Uncle, hurry up and come out after you finish your call! I need to make a call too! Don't waste everyone's time, okay?"

Uncle? They're calling me uncle again?

Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched twice. He walked out of the phone booth and quickly got into the car.

Well, he couldn't be bothered to argue with this young whippersnapper.

He had Matsushita Heisaburo drive the car to a small alley near a more secluded public phone booth. Shu Yunwen, wearing a mask, got out of the car and dialed the emergency number. As soon as the call was connected, he deliberately altered his voice through the mask and said, "Hello, I want to report a crime. I just saw a Japanese man and two foreign men at Mingqi Cafe near Tokyo Tower. They were discussing in Italian about escaping from the police and finding Maple Leaf Gold Coins. I suspect they are members of the Italian Bandit Group that is currently being sought. Please apprehend them immediately."

The operator on the other end said, "Okay, sir, we are recording... Also, may I have your contact information?"

Shu Yunwen casually lied, "My name is Hirata Taro, and I study Italian at Tokyo University, which is why I can understand their conversation."

After finishing, Shu Yunwen hung up the phone, returned to the car, and instructed, "Matsushita-kun, please drive to Mingqi Cafe nearby."

"Hai!"

Ten minutes later, inside Mingqi Cafe.

Tsukamoto Kazumi and the four little ones were sitting on the sofa. The cute Ayumi held her cup with both hands, took a sip, and looked at Conan, who was still resting his chin on his hand, holding a piece of paper and deep in thought: "Conan, have you figured anything out?"

"Not yet." Conan shook his head. "...But, I have a feeling I'm close to figuring it out."

Conan looked out at the street, his cute eyes staring for a while, then suddenly jumped down from the sofa.

Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately reached out and gently pulled Conan, "Edogawa, where are you going?"

"Ah... I, I want to go outside and look," Conan said, scratching his head.

He had a feeling that the missing piece in his mind might be found if he just looked outside.

Tsukamoto Kazumi immediately put on a serious and earnest expression, "Edogawa, you can't be naughty like this! We have to wait here for Yunwen-san to come, and then go home, understand?"

"I, I'll just go out for a little bit!" Conan said with a cute smile.

"I said, you can't!" Tsukamoto Kazumi refused again.

"Hai~" Conan's mood became a little dejected.

"Welcome!" The part-time waiter at the counter bowed slightly, with a sweet smile on his face.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked up towards the entrance and saw a group of five people walking in. Shu Yunwen was not among them.

She retracted her gaze with some disappointment, only to hear the woman among the four bow slightly and say loudly to the waiter, "I'm so sorry. I came here with a friend yesterday, and my friend played a prank, took my work ID, and hid it under a seat in the cafe, making me search for it all day. Now, I have something very important to retrieve my work ID..."

"Is that so? However, we clean very thoroughly every day when we close, but we didn't find any lost work ID yesterday..." the waiter said in surprise.

"Maybe my friend hid it very well! So, please!"

After bowing, the woman, without waiting for the waiter to say anything, walked with her two friends to the seats of the three robbers and bowed slightly again, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry to trouble you. I hid my work ID under the seat, so..."

The Japanese man among the robbers spoke, "Alright, no need to say more! I heard everything just now. What a bother... Please hurry."

The woman nodded quickly and bowed thirty degrees again, "Thank you very much."

The three robbers stood up. The woman, still in a bowing posture, her expression changed. She suddenly reached out and grabbed the strong foreigner who was walking past her, let out a low growl, and took him down. She shook her hand, revealing a police badge with a cherry blossom emblem: "I am Sato Miwako of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department! You are under arrest!"

Beside her, the two men accompanying Sato Miwako moved almost simultaneously, each moving to apprehend the shorter foreigner and the mustachioed Japanese man. The shorter foreigner offered no resistance and was quickly pinned to the coffee table. However, the Japanese man, cursing, actually fought back, knocked down another police officer, and quickly rushed towards Tsukamoto Kazumi's coffee table, looking at Conan and saying, "Brat! If you don't want to die, hand over that piece of paper in your hand to me immediately!"

At the entrance, the two police officers responsible for blocking the exit rushed in. One of them roared, "Damn it! Sawada Jinmei, surrender immediately! You can't escape!"

Another young police officer shouted loudly, "Please remain calm, everyone, don't panic. We are the police..."

Thanks to this young police officer's interference, the cafe's customers became even more flustered.

Sawada Jinmei couldn't worry about what was happening behind him. Just as he was about to grab Conan, Tsukamoto Kazumi suddenly threw a punch, hitting one of Sawada Jinmei's arms. The intense pain made him stop and turn to look at Tsukamoto Kazumi. He suddenly swung his hand towards her and shouted, "Damn it! Get lost!"

Tsukamoto Kazumi calmly extended her arm to block, then delivered a flying kick towards Sawada Jinmei's stomach.

Sawada Jinmei must have practiced some karate or something. He quickly blocked with both hands in front of him, then reached into his pocket, trying to pull out a handgun to take a hostage.

Tsukamoto Kazumi had sharp eyes. Just as his handgun was revealed, she delivered another kick to his wrist. The handgun immediately fell to the ground and rolled under a nearby table. Without his gun and seeing several police officers rushing towards him from behind, Sawada Jinmei forgot about snatching the "treasure map" from Conan. He abruptly turned around, forcefully knocked down the police officers behind him, and, amidst their cries, fled towards the cafe's entrance.

Tsukamoto Kazumi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Conan and the others beside her, and ultimately did not pursue.

At that moment, a creak came from the doorway. Shu Yunwen walked in and immediately saw Sawada Jinmei charging towards him, shoving him hard with his shoulder, "Get out of my way! Old man!"

When Shu Yunwen wasn't using his Ghost Sorcery, he was just an ordinary person.

Sawada Jinmei's forceful shove caught Shu Yunwen off guard, and he fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

Damn it! This hurts like hell!

Wait, what was going on here? Were the police apprehending a robber? He'd only called them ten minutes ago. How could the cops be so fast?

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was... what did this guy just call him? Old man? Am I really that old?

Inside the cafe, Tsukamoto Kazumi, who hadn't intended to chase after Sawada Jinmei, became enraged when she saw Shu Yunwen get knocked down.

"Yunwen! Ah~! That damn guy!"

How dare he knock down Yunwen! Unforgivable!

Tsukamoto Kazumi stepped onto the sofa, leaped onto the table, and then, using the table, she moved with incredible speed towards the door. Seeing Sawada Jinmei running towards a car across the street to open the door, she dashed forward in three quick steps.

Sawada Jinmei had already quickly gotten into the car and was about to drive when suddenly, with a "bang," the driver's side window shattered. Then, Sawada Jinmei felt his neck being grabbed, and half his body was pulled out. He saw the person in front of him.

It was a girl with fire in her eyes.

What? Was she also emitting fire?

No, that must be an illusion!

Yes, it must be an illusion, absolutely.

"Damn you!!"

Tsukamoto Kazumi suddenly let go, then forcefully pushed off with her foot, spinning her body as she let out a low growl:

"Ah~~~~ Ah!"

With a "bang," a 360-degree spinning kick accurately landed on Sawada Jinmei's left cheek. The immense impact sent Sawada Jinmei into unconsciousness, his body hanging limply as if boneless.

Inside the cafe, the four kids were pressed against the window, watching Tsukamoto Kazumi's outburst.

"Sister Kazumi is so amazing!" Ayumi's eyes sparkled.

Genta and Mitsuhiko felt a chill. Mitsuhiko chuckled nervously, "Rather than amazing, shouldn't we say she's terrifying?"

Genta chimed in, "She smashed the glass with her bare fist and kicked that bad guy unconscious with one kick. Will she be my future sister-in-law? If I make a mistake..."

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all imagined Genta making a mistake and then being kicked unconscious by Kazumi. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko immediately offered Genta their sympathy: "Genta, you're so pitiful."

Conan ignored the three imaginative kids but was also quite taken aback. He muttered to himself, "Her combat power is so strong... she seems even scarier than Ran..."

At the cafe entrance, Sato Miwako and two police officers rushed out. Seeing the situation across the street, they breathed a sigh of relief. Sato Miwako stopped, while the two male officers quickly ran across the street.

Sato Miwako glanced at Shu Yunwen, who was still sitting on the ground, and turned to say, "Takagi, why don't you help this gentleman up?"

The young police officer immediately responded, reached out to help Shu Yunwen up, and asked with a smile, "Sir, are you alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?"

Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched. The words of thanks he was about to utter turned into, "Sir? Do I look that old?"

"Officer Takagi!" Sato Miwako glared at Takagi, then smiled at Shu Yunwen and said, "Sir, don't listen to him. He just joined the force recently and isn't very good with words. You actually don't look old at all."

Shu Yunwen immediately felt a bit better. Looking at the beautiful woman speaking, he thought--

Well, forget it. I can't be bothered to argue with this tactless police officer!

"... You look at most fifty years old right now, in your prime..." Sato Miwako continued to say with a smile.

Caw~ caw~ caw~ caw~ caw~

A flock of crows flew by, minding their own business.

Shu Yunwen felt as if he'd been stabbed in the chest, and the whole world seemed filled with malice.

Damn it! What do you mean, "at most fifty years old"? Just how old do you think I am in your mind?

Damn it! These two detestable people... I'm going to file a complaint! I must file a complaint against them!

"What are your names?" Shu Yunwen asked furiously.

"My name is Sato Miwako, pleased to meet you." Sato Miwako bowed slightly.

"My name is Takagi Wataru, pleased to meet you!" Takagi also bowed slightly.

Sato Miwako? Takagi Wataru?

Officer Sato? Officer Takagi?

The two main characters from the "Metropolitan Police Love Story" series?

Shu Yunwen stared at the faces of these two for a moment. They did look a bit like their anime counterparts. But...

Impossible! Get lost!

My favorite series protagonists, how could they be these two clowns?

PS: Lalala~ Muah, Miwako. I really like this oblivious, emotionally dense police officer~~

So, I'm having them appear this early, you guys definitely won't have any objections, right?

Who? Who said they had objections?

If you have objections, just say so! As for me... I'm just not listening anyway~

Not listening~

Not listening~

Not listening~~
