Did You Go Too Far?

But the decisiveness and action the other party is showing are clearly far superior to his own.

When they arrived at the front of the crowd, Fushimi Makoto had already walked up to the policeman.

The police officer was startled when someone suddenly approached. "Please go back, it's dangerous here."

"I'm a negotiation expert, and I happen to be eating nearby. I know the situation here, so let me give it a try." Fushimi Makoto's lies came out without hesitation.

"Huh? A negotiation expert?"

The two police officers were somewhat suspicious.

But Fushimi Makoto and tall that even though he looked very young, the police didn't completely disbelieve him.

"There's no time to hesitate now," Fushimi Makoto reminded him.

The police officer paused for a few seconds, then said with a troubled expression, "We've already contacted the Metropolitan Police Department, and backup will be here soon, so... please be careful."

"Leave it to me."

Fushimi Makoto took three steps forward, and the gambler who was holding his girlfriend hostage immediately yelled, "Don't come any closer!"

"Don't be nervous, I'm a negotiation expert."

"Huh? I don't care what kind of expert you are, get out of my way!"

Don't you want your lost money back?

Fushimi Makoto's words left the gambler speechless.

But the other party quickly realized, "Are you kidding me? I've gambled away all my money, how could I possibly have any to give?"

"Under normal circumstances, you definitely wouldn't get it back, but this is a special case, so they will most likely return the money to you to minimize the impact of the situation," Fushimi Makoto said calmly.

This time, the gambler hesitated.

Fushimi Makoto calculated in his mind that the distance was just right; with his current superhuman explosive power and speed, he could subdue his opponent in an instant.

"You... you really can guarantee I'll get my money back?" The gambler asked hesitantly, but the greed and expectation in his eyes were very obvious.

Fushimi Makoto: "These are all open to discussion."

"Okay, then I not only want my money back, I also need a car to get out of here."

"No problem."

"I also want you to tell those police officers that they are not allowed to follow me."

"Can."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The gambler stared blankly at Fushimi Makoto for several seconds, then said in astonishment, "No, why don't you go tell the police? What good is it if you just agree so quickly?"

Fushimi Makoto simply replied, "Okay."

The gambler's face flushed instantly, and he gripped the knife tightly, Fushimi Makoto: "You tricked me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fushimi Makoto, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed the other man's wrist in a flash.

This scene drew gasps from the crowd behind them.

But then, with a sharp "crack," Fushimi Makoto easily broke the gambler's wrist holding the knife, the sound of bones breaking sending chills down the spines of many.

The moment the knife fell, the gambler screamed in agony, his face contorted in agony.

Fushimi Makoto the opportunity to grab the severed hand of his opponent, lowered his waist and exerted force, and executed a standard Kogoro Mouri over-the-shoulder throw.

With a thud, the gambler was slammed to the ground, nearly fainting from the pain.

Law enforcement is compassionate, but throwing people is forceful.

Fushimi Makoto lifted the hostage, whose legs had given way and who had collapsed to the ground, and dragged him away, saying to the bewildered policeman, "The negotiation was successful, and the prisoner cooperated well."

Two police officers. "???"

Onlookers: "Who taught him to negotiate like that?"

Chapter 195 You've already done it?

From the Fushimi Makoto broke the gambler's wrist to the moment the man was thrown to the ground and screamed in pain, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

So much so that when Fushimi Makoto dragged the hostage back, everyone, including the hostage, was still in a daze.

Fortunately, the police officers didn't forget their roles and, upon regaining their senses, immediately rushed forward and subdued the gambler.

"It's alright now."

Yukino and Utaha simultaneously relaxed their tense nerves.

Mrs. Yukinoshita did not show too much worry on her face, but after seeing Fushimi Makoto resolve the crisis with her own eyes, her expression returned to calm.

And Eriri Spencer Sawamura...

"You were so impulsive! Do you know how scared you almost killed me?!"

The moment Eriri Spencer Sawamura realized what was happening, she rushed towards Fushimi Makoto without any regard for anything else.

Her delicate, fair face was filled with anger, and her eyes were glistening with tears.

Fushimi Makoto hadn't expected Eriri Spencer Sawamura's reaction to be so strong. He immediately smiled and reassured her, "See, I'm perfectly fine now. I knew I wasn't lying when I told you not to worry."

"But you really scared me just now." Eriri Spencer Sawamura's chest heaved slightly, her voice full of complaint and worry.

She was a head shorter than Fushimi Makoto, and now, because she was so excited, she tilted her small, cute face up, which, combined with her charming eyes, made her even more alluring than usual.

Fushimi Makoto couldn't resist and gave him a gentle pat on the head. "Thank you."

Eriri Spencer Sawamura paused for a moment.

Her face suddenly turned bright red, and she quickly took two steps back, stammering, "You... you know it yourself!"

But she was still shyly thinking: Why did he suddenly touch my head so gently?

Seriously, you can't just touch a girl's hair like that!

However, after this incident, she realized that this guy who would occasionally deliberately annoy her had already occupied a very important place in her heart.

You know, the moment Fushimi Makoto, she almost couldn't help but rush over out of worry.

Fortunately, Yukino grabbed her arm in time.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura savored the feeling of Fushimi Makoto touching her head earlier, feeling a little shy yet inexplicably happy.

So much so that she couldn't suppress her laughter and couldn't help but smile.

But when Yukino and Utaha saw this, they couldn't laugh anymore.

My friend might not be safe.

Utaha's brows furrowed deeply.

Yukino, on the other hand, met Fushimi Makoto's gaze with a cold smile, sending a signal through her eyes: Congratulations on flirting with another beautiful girl.

Fushimi Makoto: You're making baseless accusations!

After this little incident, Fushimi Makoto and his group naturally had to go to the police station to give statements.

Only now do the police realize that this bold, meticulous, and agile young man is not a negotiation expert at all.

"Although we know you were acting bravely and respect your courage and ability, you must never pretend to be a negotiation expert again next time."

The two policemen, who had been Fushimi Makoto earlier, gave him a helpless and earnest warning.

Fushimi Makoto nodded. "Understood, next time I'll just impersonate a police officer."

"That won't do at all!"

After resolving the minor issue at the police station, before Fushimi Makoto, a policewoman specifically reminded them, "There are a lot of independent media reporters outside. If you don't want to be disturbed by them, you can leave from the side."

Fushimi Makoto smiled and thanked her.

The policewoman paused, then blushed and waved her hands repeatedly.

The senior's [Charm Badge] is a bit too overpowered.

Fushimi Makoto quickly turned around.

After leaving the police station, the girls lost all interest in shopping.

Utaha really wanted to stay a little longer on this special day, and it would be even better if it were just her and Fushimi Makoto.

Unfortunately, there were more than just the two of them here.

Not only is there Eriri Spencer Sawamura, who is "potentially unsafe," but also Yukino in Utaha eyes, and the elders she respects.

Moreover, after leaving the police station, Mrs. Yukinoshita kept chatting with Fushimi Makoto. Although it was just ordinary words of concern and advice, Utaha realized that she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Under these circumstances, she had no choice but to take her leave.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura was with her too.

"Let's go back too." Mrs. Yukinoshita watched the two girls walk away, then glanced Fushimi Makoto and his youngest daughter. "Shall I have the driver take you home?"

Fushimi Makoto could answer, Mrs. Yukinoshita seemed to remember something and continued, "Oh, by the way, Ms. Sayuri gave me a lot of sweets the other day, which her husband brought back from abroad, but I don't really like them. I'll keep some for Haruno, and you two can take the rest."

This time, neither Fushimi Makoto Yukino refused.

The three of them agreed to go to the house that Mrs. Yukinoshita had bought in Tokyo first, and then go home.

Although Fushimi Makoto thought to himself that he probably wouldn't go straight back, but would instead visit Yukino.

Mrs. Yukinoshita went to contact the driver, Yukino immediately said to Fushimi Makoto, "You were too impulsive just now."

"I was confident I could handle that gambler, which is why I took action." Fushimi Makoto understood her meaning, indicating that he was not acting rashly.

"I know you're very confident in yourself, and I know your physical abilities far exceed those of the average person, but you should try to avoid doing such dangerous things in the future..."

Yukino added, "Even if you're going to do it, you'd better discuss it with me first."

"Discuss?" Fushimi Makoto pretended not to understand.

Yukino, not wanting to play along, suddenly changed the subject. "I really didn't expect that on such a special day Tanabata, you would be spending time with my mother."

"Because I have important business to discuss with her."

Do you think I would believe that?

I think it's okay.

I don't think that will work!

Yukino directly refuted this.

A mocking look appeared on her pretty face. "But I can also tell that you're a little nervous about the arrival of Tanabata, otherwise why would you run away to your elders' side?"

"Nervous? Not at all. I even prepared a gift for you. How could I be nervous?" Fushimi Makoto denied it.

"Then let me ask you, you definitely prepared more than one gift, right?" Yukino asked with a half-smile.

Fushimi Makoto, of course, could not answer such a potentially disastrous question.

In fact, Yukino's guess was very accurate.

Two days ago, he went to the florist to order several gifts.

He had originally planned to contact the florist that evening.

But now he's changed his mind.

So, Utaha, who had just returned home, unwittingly signed for a bouquet of flowers.

When she saw the name and holiday greetings on the card, she muttered softly, "Since you played the hero and saved someone today, I won't bother you."

She had already guessed that Fushimi Makoto would be very busy today.

When her parents, looking surprised and concerned, asked about the roses in her arms, she calmly replied, "Just one of my suitors at school. Don't worry, I know how to handle it."

The Kasumigaoka couple were immediately relieved.

Their daughter's outstanding image was already etched in their hearts.

Since their daughter said she knew how to handle it, they didn't ask any more questions.

At most, we'll observe from the shadows.
