My Boss, A Clear And Perfect Beauty Who's An Elite Police Bureaucrat, Turns Out To Be My Sweet And Doting Childhood Friend Who Loves Me Dearly At Home. - Chapter 33

The Person I Like

Hearing Kana’s words, that she wanted to be with him forever, Shinichi was taken aback.

With a blush on her white cheeks, Kana giggled.

“I mean, I want to become a detective soon and continue working with you, senpai.”

“I-I see…”

“Did you think I meant something else?”

Kana teased. Shinichi felt completely at the mercy of her whims.

Despite what she had said, Kana was still clinging to Shinichi’s arm.

She did let go when it was time to pray. In front of the main shrine, Kana closed her eyes and brought her hands together.

(I wonder if she really prayed to be with me forever…)

The thought made him feel shy. Regardless of what Kana meant by her words, if she needed him, that was something to be happy about.

(But my wish is…)

Instinctively, Shinichi thought of Maho.

What he wanted to happen between him and Maho, he didn’t know.

But, he ended up wishing to be with Maho.

Finishing their prayers, Kana glanced at Shinichi.

“Want me to guess your wish, senpai?”

“I don’t think you’ll get it right.”

Shinichi felt a twinge of guilt towards Kana. She had wished for something regarding him, but he had been thinking about Maho.

Kana gave a gentle, somewhat lonely smile. The expression made her seem much more mature than usual, startling Shinichi.

“You’re right. Someday, I’ll make your wish to ‘be with Kana’ come true.”

Whispering this, Kana’s face brightened again, and she bubbled, “Now let’s hurry and eat some tempura donburi♪”

“Senpai, I’m scared of getting lost, so please hold my hand.”

“Wha!?”

“Do you mind?”

As Shinichi hesitated, Kana said, “Senpai, you’re so indecisive…” and forcefully placed her small hand in his.

And then, she entwined her slender fingers with his. It was the so-called lovers’ handhold. Even though it was less intimate than arm-in-arm, it still made him blush.

Kana giggled softly.

“For now, senpai is mine.”

“Don’t tease me.”

“I’m not teasing. Besides, I’m always yours, senpai.”

“Azusa-san… You shouldn’t say such things lightly…”

“I’m not saying it lightly.”

Kana said firmly. She squeezed Shinichi’s hand with strength in her fingertips.

“I see.”

“Hey, senpai. Do you have someone you like?”

With her beautiful black eyes, Kana stared at Shinichi and quietly asked.
