Time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Xiao's sick leave was over. Today was the day he was to report to the Metropolitan Police Department.
So Qin Xiao woke up early and took a car to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Following the instructions of the reception staff, Qin Xiao arrived at the office of Deputy Commissioner Moroboshi Toshio.
"Isn't this Qin Xiao, our highest-scoring recruit in history! How is your recovery coming along?"
"Thank you for your concern, Deputy Commissioner Moroboshi, I'm almost fully recovered."
Hearing Moroboshi Toshio's words, Qin Xiao knew he was trying to win him over.
"Just in time, Inspector Megure's First Investigation Division is currently short-handed, so you'll go to them."
With that, he had his secretary call Megure Juzo inside.
"Deputy Commissioner Moroboshi, did you need me for something?"
"Ah, Megure, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Assistant Inspector Qin Xiao. He will be joining your First Investigation Division."
"Hello, Inspector Megure. I am Qin Xiao. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"Hello, Qin Xiao. I'm Megure. I've heard all about you. With you joining us, our First Investigation Division will be like a tiger that has grown wings."
After chatting for a little while, Megure Juzo led Qin Xiao to the office and introduced him to everyone.
"Everyone, please put down what you're doing for a moment. Let me introduce a new colleague. This is Qin Xiao."
"Hello, everyone."
Hearing Qin Xiao's name, Miwako Sato looked at him with great interest.
Meanwhile, the male members of the First Investigation Division glared at this scene with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
After all, Miwako Sato was the beauty of the Metropolitan Police Department, and they had never seen her look at anyone with such interest before.
Since it was his first day at work and his ID and uniform were not ready yet, Qin Xiao left in the afternoon.
On the other side, Yor was walking down the street with a troubled expression. She felt a splitting headache whenever she thought about what her colleagues had said.
"Lately, the government seems to be cracking down on single women over thirty who aren't married. I heard it's because they're afraid they might be spies sent by other countries."
"Eh! Isn't Yor-senpai twenty-seven this year? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Isn't our workplace holding a dance party soon? Yor, you can bring your boyfriend along!"
......
【Although I'm not a spy, my identity as an assassin cannot be exposed either, otherwise it would implicate Yuri and Anya.】
Just as Yor was pondering a solution, a stealthy figure began following closely behind her.
Taking advantage of the moment Yor was distracted, the person behind her suddenly accelerated, snatched the bag right out of her hand, and bolted away at high speed.
By the time Yor came to her senses, the robber was already out of sight.
Qin Xiao, who was walking down the street, was bumped into by someone running past.
Judging by the panicked look on the runner's face, he was likely a thief.
"Hey, brat! Get out of my way, or I'll gut you!"
With that, he pulled a switchblade from his waist, preparing to make his escape.
Qin Xiao sidestepped slightly, extended his foot to trip the man, and then pinned him to the ground with a swift takedown.
"You've got some nerve, threatening a police officer!"
Shortly after Qin Xiao captured the robber, Yor hurried over.
"Miss, check your bag and see if anything is missing!"
Looking at the handsome and sunny Qin Xiao before her, Yor's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
"Nothing is missing, thank you so much! My name is Yor. May I ask what your name is?"
【Yor! Isn't she the female protagonist of Spy × Family? Could this be a world where Conan and Spy × Family have merged?】
"Hello! My name is Qin Xiao."
After a little while, Takagi arrived with several other police officers.
"As expected of our genius officer! You caught a robber on your very first day!"
Takagi and the others departed after taking custody of the criminal from Qin Xiao.
"So Mr. Qin Xiao is a police officer! No wonder you're so amazing!"
Yor smiled and said, "To thank Mr. Qin Xiao, let me treat you to a cup of coffee!"
Figuring he had nothing to do for the afternoon, Qin Xiao accepted her invitation.
Watching the man quietly stirring his coffee across the table, Yor recalled what her colleagues had said.
【Mr. Qin Xiao is so handsome, and his heart is so kind. If we pretend to be a married couple, all my problems should be solved!】
So, gathering her courage, Yor said, "Mr. Qin Xiao! I'd like to ask you for a favor!"
Looking at the nervous Yor before him, Qin Xiao found this young woman rather adorable.
"No problem at all, as long as it's within my capabilities."
Then, fidgeting nervously, Yor said, "I would like to ask Mr. Qin Xiao to be my husband!"
Hearing Yor's words, Qin Xiao nearly spat out the coffee in his mouth.
Noticing Qin Xiao's reaction, Yor quickly added, "It's for my daughter, Anya. I don't want her to have any regrets in her childhood, so I'd like to ask Mr. Qin Xiao to pretend to be my husband."
It seemed this world differed from the original story, as Anya had actually been adopted by Yor.
Looking at Yor, who was waiting nervously for his answer, Qin Xiao thought for a moment and agreed. After all, who could turn down an adorable, combat-ready beauty?
Hearing Qin Xiao's affirmative answer, Yor let out a long sigh of relief.
"Well, Miss Yor, I look forward to working with you as a couple from now on!" Qin Xiao said affectionately, taking Yor's hand.
Seeing Qin Xiao's gentle expression, Yor blushed deeply with embarrassment.
"Oh, right! Since we're married now, you and Anya should move in with me!"
After thinking it over and deciding it made sense, Yor agreed.
Afterward, Qin Xiao and Yor went home to pack their luggage.
As soon as the two reached the doorway, a little girl with pink hair and two horns on her head leaped straight into Qin Xiao's arms.
"Mama! Is this my daddy?"
Looking at the little sprite in front of him, Qin Xiao felt his heart melt.
【What an adorable little girl! She's an absolute angel!】
Qin Xiao said, "That's right, Anya. I am your daddy."
『『System, does Anya's telepathy work on me?』』
『『No. The existence of the System is known only to the host.』』
Hearing the System's explanation, Qin Xiao felt entirely at ease.
Realizing that Qin Xiao liked her, Anya happily hugged him and chattered nonstop.
Since there were only two of them, Qin Xiao and Yor packed up very quickly.
Before long, they had moved their belongings over to Qin Xiao's house.
Gazing at Qin Xiao's magnificent mansion, Yor was utterly shocked.
【For someone of Mr. Qin Xiao's age to be able to buy such a huge mansion—could he be a second-generation rich kid?】
"I bought this during my university days using my scholarship earnings from stock investments."
『『Wow! I never expected Mr. Qin Xiao to be so amazing!』』
After Qin Xiao showed them around the mansion, he led them to their respective rooms—both of which happened to be right next door to his own.
