@smokesworn Hard to miss the smell of expensive cologne and cigarettes.
I'm guessing your release is why Higashi-san took time off work. Thought it seemed oddly out of character for him to take time off.
@ijinchobenriya Yeah, us Yokohama 99 boys are still taking on cases. Someone had to take on the odd jobs around Ijincho in your absence.
Speaking of, if you're looking for work, we'd be happy to take you in.
Despite everything that went down, me and Tsukumo-san still owe you.
@ijinchobenriya That's certainly one way to look at it.
Can't say Yagami would describe it similarly. Whatever magnetic force keeps drawing you back is more like bad luck in his eyes.
Well, guess that's just his problem now. What's got you back out and in business?
@madd0gmjm ⤷ But, I'm getting carried away.
Short answer ; he's open to exploring a relationship if the chance comes up and he feels comfortable with that person, but he's not in any rush.
Of course, his way of saying it was more sophisticated and drawn out. But that's the gist of it.
@madd0gmjm ( A shrug. )
Depends on your definition of 'a lot'.
Tsukumo makes a lot of online friends, and his group try to meet up monthly to hang out in person. It was Yagami-san's idea.
Then, he started going on a few dates. One of the girls in his party took interest in him. ⤷
@ijinchobenriya Of course. Who else but Kamurocho's most wanted detective.
I wouldn't get too comfortable. Doubt Yagami-san will be giving out a warm reception anytime soon.
@madd0gmjm Who the heck is Sugikumo?
You're a weird guy, Majima-san.
But, since you were rooting for me... I guess I can share a few small details.
We mostly just talked. About business, plans for the future... Then, I asked if he had been on any more dates recently. How they were going.
@nagoyaloanshark Wait, really?
( He fakes a look of surprise, both hands coming to his cheeks in an expression of silent shock. )
Duh.
Respect is earned. You should know that at your age.
So. What's your name, old man?
