Chapter 97 - 5.8
Mamoru drove the car through the busy street, he took a few familiar shortcuts, these shortcuts were what Yukio showed to him once he was still in police force. It was convenient if they were chasing a criminal or hiding from them.
"You still remember the narrowest road shortcut I told you before, impressive," Yukio praised. Which made Mamoru laughed embarrassedly;
"I always take Amano-San’s teaching in heart! You are really a great cop, Amano-San. I strive to be like you!" Mamoru said. He glanced at Yukio who didn’t seem to like what he just said.
"Don’t be like me, you will get beaten by the people in power. We are just small ants to them," Yukio sighed, "I really appreciate your dedication, Mamoru. But I want you to have a good life first in Neo Yokto. Besides, you are already twenty five, right? You might already have someone you love, maybe someone you plan to marry. You should focus on that first."
Mamoru’s heartbeat skipped for a second, he glanced at Amano-San while slowing down the speed of the car, he gulped and replied in a low voice, "I do..."
Yukio smiled and rubbed Mamoru’s head, "You are a handsome, sunny man. That girl must be lucky to have someone like you."
"It’s not a girl..." Mamoru said.
"Not a girl?" Yukio was a bit surprised, but then he laughed it out, "Fine, fine! We are in 2121 already, you can pick whoever you want, I will always support you!" Yukio patted Mamoru’s back like a proud father figure.
[Mamoru is so cute! Look at that cute blush! He is obviously in love with Yukio! Maybe it is an admiration that turns into love? I’m positive that he is in love though.]
[Pupa: And then what? You want to date him too? Don’t you remember our past world with Bi He? You might mess the world again.]
[No, no, don’t worry~ Sakuma is holed up inside his man cave for a long time. He won’t be able to know. Besides, Mamoru fits my taste more, too bad he is not the master of the world.]
