Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 232: Chapter 153 I will forever spy on you...

Minamoto Tamako struggled with herself in her mind but eventually restrained herself.

Just getting Mr. Fu Jian to run an errand was already so satisfying, she couldn’t imagine how satisfying it would be to redeem a Red Redemption Coupon... A truly mature adult must learn to delay gratification!

Only with self-discipline and control can you achieve your goals!

"I won’t redeem it, I’ll save it for now."

Minamoto Tamako carefully folded up the Redemption Voucher and returned to her room to store it properly.

Since she had accepted the Redemption Voucher, the previous matters were considered settled. She wasn’t the type to hold grudges and crossed off over a dozen items from her mental grievance list without hesitation.

Not getting angry, not getting angry—getting angry leaves room for the devil. As a future famous detective and police chief, one must have the ability to let go!

Minamoto Tamako gave herself a pep talk and finally calmed down. She inadvertently discovered a bundle of money and said, "Oh, right! Ah Jun stole quite a bit of money from your room and hid it under the sofa... Luckily, I found it."

Taira Sakurako couldn’t find it funny anymore.

She turned around, burped after drinking cola, and kept giving Fushimi Roku meaningful looks. Seeing her anxious like this, the latter immediately guessed where the money had come from.

A smile appeared on Fushimi Roku’s face as he took the stolen money from Minamoto Tamako and pretended to reprimand Ah Jun.

Ah Jun whimpered with grievance, barking at Fushimi Roku one moment and then at Taira Sakurako the next, as if wishing it could speak.

Fushimi Roku scolded him a couple of times, telling Ah Jun to shut up, then waved the money in his hand, lay back on the sofa, and exclaimed, "Wow, a sudden windfall, I don’t even know how to spend it."

Taira Sakurako was so anxious that she burped after drinking soda.

"But wasn’t this originally your money?" Minamoto Tamako felt puzzled.

"That’s true, but haven’t you ever experienced finding a few hundred yen in your pocket while doing laundry? Or discovering some change in an old jacket you haven’t worn for a long time..."

Minamoto Tamako suddenly understood, "Indeed, it does feel like an unexpected windfall."

"Right! That’s exactly the feeling!" Fushimi Roku said, putting the money into his pocket in front of Taira Sakurako.

Taira Sakurako put on a demon mask, glaring at Fushimi Roku to express her anger. As Minamoto Tamako returned to her room to hide the Redemption Voucher, she softly warned Fushimi Roku, explaining how the secret stash had been exposed.

Fushimi Roku, after listening, agreed to return the money, but only if Taira Sakurako cooperated with him to hype up the Redemption Voucher, disguising as ’lucky users’ cashing in daily while secretly helping to destroy the excess vouchers.

Taira Sakurako refused; she still wanted to use the Redemption Vouchers to boss Fushimi Roku around for a few more days! Moreover, she wasn’t the only one with a secret stash; if Fushimi Roku dared to take her money, she’d tell Minamoto Tamako, and they’d all go down together!

"These are two different matters: you didn’t hide your money well, you can’t blame me; secondly, I paid you to help cover up and keep Minamoto Tamako out of the room, which was your job originally. So why should I compensate your losses?"

Fushimi Roku lowered his voice, continuing in a tone used to coax children, "If you agree to this deal now, you can get your money back. You can’t be too greedy; you should know when to stop. Besides, you haven’t really lost anything... How about this: I’m kind-hearted, so I’ll pay you an additional thousand yen as your fee for being a Redemption Voucher destroyer, deal?"

"One thousand yen per day?" Taira Sakurako asked.

"What kind of dream are you having?" Fushimi Roku scoffed.

Taira Sakurako hesitated for a moment, but given the situation, she reluctantly nodded and said, "Fine, deal, give me back my money."

Fushimi Roku pulled the money from his pocket and slapped it into her small hand, saying with schadenfreude, "Next time, don’t let yourself get caught."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Minamoto Tamako suddenly poked her head out of her room and asked, frowning, "What are you talking about not getting caught?"

Taira Sakurako was startled, hurriedly shoved the money into her mask.

Fushimi Roku thought to himself, "This girl has really sharp ears. Just a slight raise in voice, and she almost caught us."

"Nothing," he waved his hand dismissively, "go about your business."

Minamoto Tamako squinted, her expression suspicious, thinking that Mr. Fu Jian was definitely hiding something from her... This guy must have quite a few secrets hidden, refusing to share, which was really infuriating!

How could good partners keep secrets from each other?

Minamoto Tamako turned her attention to the little piggy bank. She had already put the green Redemption Voucher inside, but now she felt an urge to pull it out and use it to pry into Mr. Fu Jian’s little secrets.

Since it’s a secret, it surely can’t see the light of day, so maybe Mr. Fu Jian has been up to no good behind her back—to uphold justice, she felt the need to uncover the truth!

Besides, once Mr. Fu Jian confessed, she might even be able to exchange for more Redemption Vouchers, feeling like buying a lottery ticket, perhaps achieving more with less...

Minamoto Tamako quickly patted her cheeks to drive out these thoughts, knowing that it’s wrong to do so; everyone has their privacy, and gambling for bigger returns is a dangerous mindset.

Since it had already been put into the piggy bank, it shouldn’t be easily taken out!

Minamoto Tamako’s little face flushed red from her self-inflicted slaps, feeling a bit ashamed, so she borrowed Sakurako’s unfinished cola to cool her face and dutifully went to the kitchen to clean the dishes.

Meanwhile, Taira Sakurako, sneaky as ever, was peering around the house wearing a mask, searching for a perfect spot to hide her money.

Previously hiding the money under the sofa cushion was too hasty; what if Minamoto Tamako got a sudden urge to do a major cleanup? She’d be doomed again.

Taira Sakurako learned from her lesson, avoiding the places that Minamoto Tamako had previously searched. She started selecting hidden nooks and crannies, tapping on the clotheslines, fiddling with the photo frames on the coffee table, and occasionally turning the cookie box upside down.

Minamoto Tamako, having finished washing the dishes, walked past the living room. Fushimi Roku still lounged like a salted fish on the sofa, while Taira Sakurako wandered around. She couldn’t help but ask, "What are you looking for? Let me help you search."

"No, no need." Taira Sakurako flatly refused.

Minamoto Tamako’s suspicion reached its peak. Those who knew her understood that her curiosity was frighteningly intense—if Fushimi Roku could have secrets, why would even Sakurako also have something to hide from her?

What could be so important that it had to be hidden?

Feigning indifference, Minamoto Tamako returned to her room. Once the door was closed, she immediately lay on the ground, using a small mirror to reflect the floor’s image, peeking under the door crack to see what Taira Sakurako was up to.

Taira Sakurako searched for a long time and finally found a decent spot: under the TV stand, there was a small drawer. She planned to pull out the drawer and hide the money in the gap between the drawer and the cabinet.

Squatting down, just as she was about to act, she noticed a flashing light in the corner of her eye. Turning her head, she saw a sparkling light under the crack of her room door... She was stunned for a good four or five seconds before realizing it was probably Minamoto Tamako using a mirror to spy on her.

What should she do?

Taira Sakurako was at a loss, then sat back on the sofa. She inserted a straw through the nose hole of her mask and started sipping her cola.

Minamoto Tamako was exceedingly patient, even finding joy in it.

For her, continuously monitoring those she cared about gave her a strange thrill, so Minamoto Tamako began observing Fushimi Roku as well... She herself was unaware of this, simply immersing herself naturally in the act.
