The New Light - Fugou Keiji

Part Extra - White Day

Kambe Daisuke blinked several times looking at the diverse, luxurious and elegant supplies at the confectionery shop he used to go to with Kambe Suzue and also some of his extended family relatives. They sometimes buy and enjoy the sweets that are available there. Not only chocolate, there are also sweets from outside Japan, as well as Japanese specialties. After getting chocolate from Katou Haru, his senior at school and his partner now in the Tokyo police, and also from Suzue who is a close relative, Daisuke thought of buying chocolate or other items in return.

Daisuke frowned. "For Suzue, I think this chocolate flower is enough." The black man turned towards the shelf which was filled with chocolates which were beautifully shaped like flowers.

Daisuke will give her one of the chocolates wrapped like a bouquet of roses. Daisuke is satisfied with the shape and detail, and he is sure Suzue will be happy to get it. That's how he judged her.

But what is difficult for Daisuke, is the chocolate for Haru. His upperclassman gave him the handmade chocolates he made together with Saeki Mahoro, the only female colleague in his current division. Even though Haru said he was fine with buying or ready-made chocolates, Daisuke thought that something more special would make him happy. Unfortunately, Daisuke didn't know what kind.

"He'll get angry if I give him something too luxurious and majestic..." The black man frowned. "But if it's too ordinary the taste isn't that special..."

The rustling sound in Daisuke's ear made him blink. "How about asking what Katou Haru-sama likes?"

Daisuke blinked at HEUSC's suggestion. It was very unusual for the tool to voice its own opinion, especially after it had been used by Haru. There seems to be a slight change to that tool as well as Daisuke himself. As the successor of the Kambe family.

"What he likes? About sweets?"

"Yes. Sort of prefer dark chocolate, or white chocolate, it could have an effect "

Daisuke frowned, but he thought about the advice given by HEUSC. He grabbed a bouquet of roses which were chocolates and took them to one of the cashiers.

"Please wrap it in a beautiful color."

"Understood. Please wait a moment."

Daisuke folded his arms and thought.

"What does Haru like...?"

---------------------------------------------

Haru felt something strange since a few days ago from his junior and partner, Kambe Daisuke. Despite not saying anything, Haru knew there was something the young master was expecting from him. But Haru didn't know what it was. Daisuke sometimes stares at him for too long, and manages to make the hairs of his neck stand up as if he was being interrogated and noticed by an invisible creature. Not that Haru was reluctant. He was just confused about what made him look at himself like that.

Haru has survived to this day. He was no longer strong to be viewed like that and without cause by the young master who was a friend from his school days.

"Daisuke."

The black man turned to Haru who was walking beside him. "Is there something you want to say?" Haru's words made Daisuke widened his eyes.

"No."

Haru knew Daisuke had no intention of answering his questions, but if Haru didn't know why he was looking at him like that, his daily life would be filled with strange tensions.
