Chapter 13: Dates for Sale

Shinichi stared at the big screen in front of him, his eyelids almost falling down to the pits of boredom.

'This was supposed to be a comedy but it's just an hour-and-a-half of green jokes, drunk men and sexy ladies.' He took a sip of his drink as he shifted on his seat. 'Not my kind of movie, really. There’s no mystery to solve or mind-bugging matters at least.' He looked at the blond girl to his left. 'It's not like I have a choice anyway. My dates get to choose what we’ll do and I am bound to follow. I don’t even know why I allowed my so-called managers to do this to me.' He couldn’t help but sigh and smile halfheartedly at his last thought.

Although it was dark, he has noticed so far that the girl was enjoying the show. She was laughing at the licentious scenes and not blushing or getting offended like how typical girls would be. This unusualness made him smile a little before he focused on the screen again. ‘Well, at least we don’t have to talk that much in a movie-date. This kind of date must be the easiest.’

Suddenly, he sensed the device on his jacket pocket vibrating. Being familiar with this signal, he discreetly turned his head towards the seats to his right and in a few rows behind his seat, he quickly spotted the two girls he was looking for. "Don't look bored! It'll ruin the date!" was written on a flashcard Sonoko was holding. She looked agitated, very different from her companion, Ran, who looked embarrassed as she lit up the cardboard with her cell phone’s backlight.

He gave the two a tepid smile before he looked straight ahead. ‘Ran doesn’t have to be embarrassed; we’re the only ones here, anyway.’ He glanced at the empty seats around. ‘With the Suzuki family being a big stockholder of this mall, Sonoko was able to make the cinemas and the mall itself be open as early as 6am. She’s really a spoiled kid.’

A few more minutes later, the movie ended. Shinichi and his date were now walking outside while the girl enthusiastically discussed the parts she liked about the movie. From the way she laughs and the cheerfulness she was showing, he figured she must be the kind of girl who plays pranks on her friends while in the girls’ changing room or talks about embarrassing stuff in a carefree manner. Or maybe not. Guessing someone’s personality is not as easy as guessing their occupation. But at least his detective mind had something entertaining to do.
