"We're responsible for diverting Yui's attention, right?" (Mizuo)

Although showing disappointment upon learning that they wouldn't be infiltrating the police station just now, at this moment Koga Mizuo was once again excited.

This keen-scented little pixie smelled trouble in the air, eager and ready, eyes shining.

Like the big bad wolf spotting the little white rabbit.

"Yes, we need your help causing some trouble, distracting Mai's father, Uncle Tsuchi." (Yui Uesugi)

"Causing trouble? I got it, I'm a pro at this~" (Mizuo)

Koga Mizuo proudly put her hands on her hips, and even excitedly wiggled her butt a little.

When it comes to mischief, she is known as the true Master Mischief Maker, Koga—Mizuo!

"I'll take care of keeping Mie company." (Yuki)

Yuki added quietly on the side.

"Yeah, and then I'll look up information on Kuroda from the system and take pictures with my phone." (Yui Uesugi)

After some discussion, the outline of the whole plan had emerged.

At this moment, Chongzong raised a question.

"I wonder if Katagiri will cooperate?" (Chongzong)

Unlike last time when she borrowed the wireless communicator, in a way, it's fair to say Katagiri might be deceiving her own father this time.

So, getting Katagiri to agree to help is no walk in the park compared to last time.

"Well... I'll figure something out." (Yui Uesugi)

This question did indeed hit a sore spot for Yui Uesugi. After some contemplation, she still gave a resolute answer.

She was confident she could persuade Mai Katagiri to help.

"But what if, during the operation, Dojou Kazuaki catches you secretly using his computer, what then?" (Chongzong)

After confirming the feasibility of the operation, Chongzong brought up another difficult question.

This is a question that must be faced.

If you don't plan for the worst-case scenario, then once faced with unexpected developments, it would be a sure death.

"By then... by then, I'll just say, I was curious and wanted to see what the police station's system was like." (Yui Uesugi)

"I've talked with Dojou Kazuaki before, mentioning my future interest in becoming a police officer, so I'm naturally curious about police-related content, which should be plausible." (Yui Uesugi)

Surprisingly quickly, Yui Uesugi came up with a quite clever response that caught Chongzong off guard.

This made Chongzong increasingly feel that the former rigid and rule-following Yui Uesugi was gradually evolving, becoming more and more flexible.

But here, he had to confront this issue because the reply from Uesugi Yui was not the worst-case scenario.

"What if, he catches you red-handed and finds out that you are looking into Kuroda's information?" (Chongzong)

Yes, that would be the worst-case scenario.

This question left Uesugi Yui unable to provide a quick response like before.

She fell into contemplation, her brows furrowed in worry.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Yuki broke the silence.

"...In that case, wouldn't it be better to be honest? Instead of trying to be slick?" (Yuki)

In the room, there remained one last trace of precious integrity from Yuki, who awakened Uesugi Yui with those words.

"Yes! Yuki, you're right! If we are truly discovered, then honesty is the way to go. Even though our plans may be disrupted, it won't be too disastrous." (Uesugi Yui)

"I agree too." (Chongzong)

Chongzong nodded, casting a approving glance towards Yuki, making Yuki feel a bit embarrassed as she lowered her head.

Thus, a conclusion was finally reached regarding the acquisition plan for Kuroda's intel.
