Usugi Yui's heart was still racing, but she restrained herself, keeping her voice and tone as calm as usual while speaking.

Just as the two were conversing, Kurashige Yui emerged after changing her clothes.

"Let me do it instead?" (Kurashige Yui)

"No need, it's already cleaned." (Usugi Yui)

Usugi Yui stood up while speaking.

"I'll go wash the cloth." (Usugi Yui)

"No need, just leave it over there." (Kurashige Yui)

"It's only right, it's the trouble we caused." (Usugi Yui)

Usugi Yui swiftly went to the kitchen carrying the cloth.

Upon entering the kitchen, Usugi Yui confirmed her position out of sight from the living room, then immediately took out her phone from her pocket and sent the five photos she had just taken to Chongzong.

—"Among these five people, one of them is the Kuroda we are looking for, analyze it." (Usugi Yui)

After sending the message to Chongzong, Usugi Yui hurriedly washed the cloth and returned to the living room.

The living room had now returned to a peaceful scene.

Yuki and Mizuo were happily eating cake, drinking juice, and swaying their bodies cheerfully.

Kurashige Yui was feeding some cake to the little Meiga while she blinked her eyes and hummed a joyful tune.

Katagiri Mai, as usual, sat expressionless watching everyone, as if she hadn't recovered from the incident just now.

As the head of the family, Dojou Kazuaki, a beginner in the high school girls' social circle, was chatting casually with Usugi Yui about interesting school anecdotes.

With the task completed and completely relaxed, Usugi Yui took the opportunity to ask Dojou Kazuaki in detail about what preparations should be made in advance to become a police officer after graduating from university.

"You're only in the first year of high school now, it's too early to prepare for this, hahaha!" (Dojou Kazuaki)

Although Dojou Kazuaki said it was too early for Usugi Yui to prepare, he couldn't help but start sharing various experiences from his time as a police officer and enthusiastically tell stories.

The standard "girl talk" wasn't like this, but this special "girl talk" with a police officer as a guest sharing life stories was truly enjoyable for everyone.

Dojou Kazuaki, who had always wanted to tell his daughters about his police stories, had his fill.

Finally, nearing lunchtime, despite Dojou Kazuaki's repeated invitations, Usugi Yui and the others insisted on having lunch together next time.

It's not that eating together was a bad idea, really.

It's just that Usugi Yui and the others felt guilty and wanted to leave the crime scene as soon as possible to avoid being caught red-handed.

So in the end, under the farewell of a family in Tsuchi City, Usagi Yui and her companions left the Tsuchi City home, concluding this visit to a classmate's house that had nothing to do with an actual visit to a classmate's house.

Usagi Yui's information theft operation ended without any major incidents.

At least that's how she saw it.

What she didn't know was the conversation that took place in the Dojou family home shortly after.

"Dad~" (Dojou Mei)

"What's up, Meimei?" (Dojou Kazuaki)

"That sister just now, she used your computer~" (Dojou Mei)

"Yeah, I know. There were search records of keywords I never looked up before. Thank you, Meimei~" (Dojou Kazuaki)
