Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner

It might be because the hairdryer was of poor quality and too hot, turning her into a gold-maned lion, with all her bangs becoming little antlers.

Fushimi Roku told Minamoto Tamako to look in the mirror, but Tamako refused, thinking it's just another trick from Fushimi to change the subject.

Tonight, no matter what, she needs to get to the bottom of Fushimi's emotional knot, or else she won't sleep well.

Soon they will meet the Family Head, and Fushimi plans to express his intention of "seriously dating," but he actually has an unknown burden in his heart. As his girlfriend, how could she not care?

Moreover, Minamoto Tamako is inherently curious. She wanted to ask about this earlier, but Fushimi kept pretending to be sick, claiming he was still recovering from severe injuries from an explosion, which made her hesitate to ask. She was extremely happy upon departure and didn't want to spoil the mood, so she held back.

Now that there's a bit of downtime, it's time for Fushimi to come clean!

"What do you mean come clean, I've already said everything that needs to be said." Fushimi Roku looked innocent.

"You're lying!" Minamoto Tamako didn't believe him at all.

"How am I lying? Do you have any evidence?" Fushimi had always been a little concerned. He always felt that Minamoto Tamako had a way to determine whether he was lying because every time he lied, Tamako would clearly say 'You're lying' or 'You're deceiving me.'

Minamoto Tamako squinted and said, "I figured it out using the Super Cold Reading Skill."

...Ah, so it was a probability issue after all.

Fushimi Rokushin suddenly understood; every time Minamoto Tamako probed, he basically lied, so Tamako was likely to guess accurately.

"Anyway, I'm upright and not afraid of shadows." Fushimi Roku assumed a "dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water" stance and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

Minamoto Tamako patted his forehead with her small hands, but he showed no reaction, deliberately snoring even. Tamako became more suspicious; the less Fushimi spoke, the more she cared.

"Don't push me." Minamoto Tamako pouted, looking like she was about to count to three.

"This is confusing," Fushimi Roku turned over and asked, "Or what do you plan to do?"

The moment he finished speaking, Lion King Tamako stood up, opened her suitcase, and rummaged through it.

Fushimi Roku felt a bad premonition. He lifted the quilt, sat up, and looked over, seeing Minamoto Tamako carefully take out a Red Redemption Coupon from a folder.

"Hehe," Minamoto Tamako took it out as if she were holding a royal decree with a feather.

"You want to use the Redemption Voucher?" Fushimi Roku lay back down: "For this matter? That's too much of a loss. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't use it like this."

"I've already decided, the Redemption Voucher can be accumulated again if spent. If not spent, it's just a piece of paper; leaving it unused is such a waste."

Minamoto Tamako kneeled on the bedding beside her, swinging the corner of the Redemption Voucher: "I doubt you'd waste the Stamp Grand Prize over such a small matter, would you?"

Fushimi Roku did not answer and countered with a question: "So you're going to redeem it?"

Minamoto Tamako was on guard: "If I say I'm going to redeem it, will you use the stamp to cancel it out?"

Fushimi Roku chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.

Minamoto Tamako was infuriated; every time she wanted to redeem, Fushimi used this move to intimidate her, swiftly turning it into a tug-of-war of 'Lunge Push Palm' and 'Gaze at the Moon Balance.'

Determined, she gritted her teeth and said, "I've redeemed it, so you have to tell the truth! What's your move? Are you going to redeem too?"

Fushimi Roku chuckled again, saying, "I won't redeem."

Now it's Minamoto Tamako's turn to feel a bit itchy in her scalp. Suddenly, it seemed like a loss; wasting hard-earned Redemption Vouchers over this trivial issue made her heart bleed, and she was also a bit afraid of the Stamp Prize in Fushimi's hand.

Isn't she like fish on a chopping board now?

Just as Minamoto Tamako was about to retreat, Fushimi Roku stretched out his hand and plucked away the Red Redemption Coupon: "Congratulations, redeemed successfully, ask whatever you want, restricted to matters occurring in dreams after hypnosis."

Minamoto Tamako was astonished, pouncing forward to press on Fushimi Roku, pulling the quilt and yelling, "Give it back! I, I haven't decided yet!"

"Just moments ago, I confirmed with you, 'So you're going to redeem it,' those were my exact words. Don't tell me you forgot in a few seconds?" Fushimi Roku folded the Redemption Voucher and held it in his palm, planning to reuse it in the future.

"Ugh ahhhhh!!!" Minamoto Tamako angrily pounded the bedding, fell on her stomach on the bed, and let out a mournful cry.

This time, she couldn't even blame Fushimi Roku, for it was her own heat-of-the-moment decision to redeem it.

Minamoto Tamako hemorrhaged, her mind not reacting in time. Fushimi Roku had disrupted her judgment, purposely refraining from using the stamp, waiting her out until she couldn't hold back and used it first, allowing Fushimi to decide afterward whether to counteract.

Furthermore, generally, those who compromise in the end will try to recoup by selling their currency at a very low price.

"But to speak frankly, are you sure you want to ask about dream matters?" Fushimi Roku shrank within the quilt, maintaining a state of safety.

"Can it be revoked?" Minamoto Tamako sharply lifted her head.

"Once redeemed, it cannot be revoked, but I will be magnanimous and make an exception; you can switch to another question." Fushimi Roku attempted to persuade Minamoto Tamako: "Give it some thought because there might be nothing but trivial matters in my dreams. I just don't want to talk about them because I care about appearances."

"Ha! So you really are hiding something from me!" Minamoto Tamako pointed at Fushimi Roku's nose and said, "Now you slipped up, didn't you?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't have to be about what happened in the dreams." Fushimi Roku replied with a half-smile, "You better think it through."
