Chapter 96 - 5.7
Yukio Amano sat on top of a building, watching around the city. Usually, he would use a goggle that allowed him to zoom over the streets clearly. But after he got an upgraded biochip from Sakuma, his eyes were able to zoom in accurate clear view automatically.
However, Pupa noticed that Yunyu only zoomed on certain buildings or on certain people. It followed Yunyu's line of sight, and then bumped Yunyu's head with its body.
[Pupa: You pervert! Why are you using your zoom to peek on handsome men or men taking a bath! Go become a real vigilante!]
[What? I am working! Who knows those handsome men need my help? I'm very much dedicated to my work!]
[Pupa: Those men can protect themselves! Just admit that you are enjoying your perverted views!]
Yunyu giggled perversely, but he finally yielded and focused on scanning the city. When he noticed something in a dark alley, he immediately jumped from the building and landed in the alley. He appeared stealthily to observe what was happening, then he saw a slightly drunk man in police uniform hitting on a young woman.
"Hey, young miss, just come with me, it's a cold night today," the man said lecherously. The young woman looked disgusted. But she said nothing and tried to leave the scene.
Of course, the man didn't allow her and blocked her way out, "Come on, don't you see, I'm a cop! Do you want to get into trouble with a cop? Remember, you are just a regular citizen," the man said, half threatened.
[Sigh, this world has a very dirty cop. I don't think my real world has this much of a rotten justice system. This world is very advanced, but morale has regressed terribly.]
[Pupa: Because mankind focuses too much on technological development, but not educating the generations about what is right and wrong. People might say that it's just how the world evolves and we should ignore small acts, but many devil works start from small things. In the end, people will try to normalize something that has happened way too much.]
[…]
[Pupa: Hey! Are you listening to me?!]
Yunyu didn't listen to the system talking when he saw a man suddenly pass him, he pulled the drunk cop's collar and punched him on the face. The drunk man fell headfirst to the ground. He cursed and shook his head, he furiously pointed at his assailant and said, "Fuck! Who are you? Don't you see that I'm a cop!"
"Return back to your station, you useless bastard! One more time I see you like this, I will kick you out!" the man commanded with his powerful, heavy voice. The drunk man got sober instantly with this familiar voice, he stiffly stood straight and bowed his head deeply, "F—Forgive me, Chief!"
The man hurriedly left the scene, afraid that his chief would lashed out on him. The chief bowed his head courteously and apologized to the young woman, "I'm sorry for my subordinate's rude behaviour, this is my fault that I've been too lenient on him. Please forgive us, Miss."
The young woman was stunned when she saw the man's handsome face, she felt that she had been saved by a character in a movie, "T—Thank you so much! I—uhm, I will leave first."
The young woman left the alley. The young man sighed as he turned his back to leave the alley, he had some beating to do to his subordinate. However, his eyes met a rugged man in his early thirties, watching him from afar. He was surprised, but squinted his eyes to make sure that he didn't see the wrong person.
His face brightened once he saw the right person. He walked quickly and then bowed his head deep full of respect once he stood in front of Yukio, "Chief Amano! It's been a while since we met again!" said the handsome man who was probably in his mid-twenties, he was excited to see Yukio.
[What a handsome, well built man! System, tell me, who is this handsome beast!]
[Pupa: … did you ignore my long speech about humanity because you see a handsome man?]
[Quick, just tell me!]
[Pupa: Sigh, Mamoru Ito. Twenty five years old. He was your junior when you were a chief police officer, he has now replaced your position three years after your departure. He is righteous, and has been idolizing you since he first joined the police force.]
[How did I address him?]
[Pupa: He is quite close to you when you are in the police force, you just called him Mamoru.]
"Ah, Mamoru, long time no see," Yukio said, he smiled and continued, "Please don't call me Chief Amano, just Amano is alright. I'm not in the police force anymore."
"No, no! Chief Amano is still my senior until death! Nothing can change that!" Mamoru said courageously, "Chief Amano is a great police, but our corrupt system only hurts you! Thinking about it makes me angry, really!"
Yukio covered Mamoru's mouth immediately, he shushed him, he whispered, "Don't say something like that out loud. You're the chief now, learn from my experience."
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 30%.]
Yukio's lips were only an inch away from touching Mamoru's cheek. Which made Mamoru blushed. He had been idolizing Chief Amano for so many years, it was rare for them to encounter each other, let alone to be this close.
Mamoru nodded, and he cleared his throat to suppress his nervousness, "Then, would you mind going with me for a patrol?"
"A patrol? You are chief, why would you need to go on a patrol?"
"B—Because I learned from you, Chief—I mean, Amano-San!" Mamoru replied.
Yukio seemed to consider it for a while, and then nodded, "Fine then, I will accompany you. Please take care of me," he said.
"I will!" Mamoru said excitedly. He led Yukio to his police car and they went to patrol the night together in Neo Yokto.
Meanwhile, a man was watching everything from his lonely lab filled with androids. He frowned, dissatisfied, but said nothing.
It was his AI that finally asked, "Master, my sensor told me that you are dissatisfied. Is there anything I can do, Master?"
"No, W41-FU, not yet," Sakuma snorted coldly, his cold eyes watched over a huge monitor, showing everything that Yukio saw with his eyes, "I thought he is the same as me, lonely, craving for companionship. Turns out, he still has someone…"
