Holidays are something eagerly anticipated by every working individual. After a busy week or even longer at work, having one or two days of completely self-directed time is an immensely enjoyable thing.
However, as adults, even in these leisurely holidays, there are impediments. Married individuals might waste their holidays on family trivialities, but some enjoy these domestic trivialities, considering it a form of enjoying home life.
For the singles, though, in these leisurely holidays, they might encounter a terrifying thing that makes the holiday feel like hell, making staying at home almost unbearable: blind dates.
It's this term that changes the expressions of countless single individuals, who fear it like it's a tiger.
This was the case for Sato Miwako. After escorting three kidnappers yesterday, Today, on her day off, she chose to stay at home and became a recluse.
Nestled inside a kotatsu, she was happily eating mandarins while watching TV shows. The day was quite delightful.
However, unfortunately, this calm and lazy routine was abruptly shattered by a female voice.
"Hey! Miwako!!"
A middle-aged woman looked at Sato Miwako lying in the kotatsu and scolded, "You, a detective from the Criminal Investigations Division, are actually lazily lying in the kotatsu eating oranges in broad daylight. That's so unlike you!"
"Oh, what's the big deal? It's my day off today, at least let me relax a bit..." Sato Miwako lazily yawned and waved her hand nonchalantly.
But faced with her daughter's laziness, Sato's mom directly placed a towering stack of documents in front of Sato Miwako.
"Once again, you brought over these profiles for blind dates..." Sato Miwako dragged her chin, wearing a face of utter speechlessness.
"Of course! Even if you're not in a hurry, Mom is worried for you!" Sato's mom patted the thick stack of documents, almost as thick as a high school textbook, and advised, "If you have nothing else to do, take a look at these profiles and photos!"
"(￣3￣) No thanks!"
Sato Miwako turned her face away. "I've seen enough of those miserable, bloodied corpses every day. Let me have some peace..."
"Wuwu!! How did it end up like this? How did my child become such an unwomanly tomboy..."
However, Sato Miwako's words didn't have the desired effect. Instead, they gave Sato's mom the chance to showcase her acting skills. "I'm sorry to your father, who sacrificed himself in the line of duty! I let you have too much freedom, and that's why you've turned out like this..."
As the saying goes, "When the tears start flowing, who can compete?" This move by the elder generation is an almost insurmountable move against the younger generation.
Soon, Sato Miwako couldn't resist her mom's assault. She casually pulled out a file from the stack of documents, without even looking at it, and threw it in front of her mom. "Alright, alright, just this one, but let me make it clear in advance—it's just a meeting, okay!"
"Ah, oh!"
Sato's mom opened the profile Sato Miwako had chosen. After seeing the information about the potential blind date, her eyes brightened. "Like mother, like daughter. Even your taste in men is just like mine."
After that, under her mom's urging, Sato Miwako, looking bewildered, started to groom herself, putting on a kimono that she almost never wore. With her mom, she went to the agreed-upon place to meet the blind date.
Of course, Sato Miwako wasn't going to sit idly by. She immediately contacted her good friend, Yumi Miyamoto, asking her to find a way to save her.
Coincidentally, when Yumi Miyamoto learned about this, she happened to run into Ran, Sonoko and others on the street. So she shared the story with them.
"Is it true? Detective Sato is actually going on a blind date!?" Ran and the others were incredibly surprised upon hearing the news.
"Yeah," Yumi Miyamoto said with a mischievous laugh, "Right now, Miwako is probably all dressed up, meeting her blind date..."
"Miss Yumi, do you know who Detective Sato's blind date is?" Conan looked up at Yumi Miyamoto curiously from the inside of the car.
"Well... Miwako doesn't know either because she randomly picked someone from the blind date profiles," Yumi Miyamoto scratched her head and said with a sigh.
"W-What?!"
Hearing Yumi's words, Ran and the others exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean Detective Sato is going on a blind date with someone she has never met before!?"
"Well, well, don't worry." Yumi Miyamoto smiled and said, "If someone is willing to go on a blind date with Miwako, a woman who is like a thunderstorm, the other person is probably old-fashioned and innocent..."
"Does anyone in the Criminal Investigations Division know about this?" Ran asked. "Detective Sato should be quite popular. If her admirers in the division find out, they should be able to rescue her quickly."
"As for that... besides me, no one else knows," Yumi Miyamoto scratched her head.
"What?! No one knows?! Even Detective Takagi?"
"Yeah, Miwako felt embarrassed to let her colleagues know, so she didn't tell anyone. Besides, if those admirers found out, it would cause a big commotion."
Yumi Miyamoto chuckled, "But I've also left a backup plan. Help is on the way for Miwako, so rest assured."
"The help you're talking about, could it be Detective Takagi?" Conan speculated as he observed her slightly cunning smile.
"Oh? Little guy, you're quite smart. Yes, it's Detective Takagi," Yumi Miyamoto revealed a sly smile. "I've already sent him a message informing him about the situation. Once he reads the message, he'll definitely rush back in panic. Maybe at a crucial moment, Takagi will confess his feelings to Miwako."
"You tricky ghost..." Conan looked at the mischievous Yumi Miyamoto and couldn't help but silently complain.
On the other hand, upon hearing this news, Sonoko's gossip-loving heart instantly ignited. She directly negotiated with Ran, "Hey, Ran, since we have nothing else to do, why not go check it out together?"
"Well, that's not a bad idea, but it's quite far," Ran hesitated a bit.
Sonoko clasped her hands together and looked at Yumi Miyamoto, "Miss Yumi, could we trouble you to take us there? We'll report everything that happens to you~~"
"Sorry, even though I'd really like to drive you, I'm still on duty..." Yumi Miyamoto smiled helplessly and reluctantly declined the proposal.
However, at that moment, the car beside them suddenly honked. When the group looked at the source of the sound, they unexpectedly found the driver in the driver's seat was the new doctor.
Sonoko and Ran exchanged glances, then showed smiling faces. "It's truly fortunate! It seems like fate wants us to go!"
