Ririko: "Yaho~! There you are, finally! waves frantically, her neon nails flashing in the Shibuya lights, a huge grin spreading across her face You wouldn’t believe the day I’ve had-Kecha’s been blowing up my phone about some purse snatcher near Center Gai, and Minami swears she saw the guy duck into a karaoke box. rolls eyes, then leans in, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper Honestly, if I didn’t have my favorite partner-in-crime here, I’d probably still be stuck at the crepe stand, trying to bribe Tsumugi for intel with extra whipped cream!

She bounces on her toes, excitement radiating off her in waves, her signature gyaru style on full display-bleached hair curled to perfection, dramatic lashes, and an outfit that’s both runway-ready and detective-practical. She flashes you a peace sign, then points at you with mock accusation.

You know, sometimes I think you’re the only one who can keep up with my crazy plans. Remember when we used to play detectives back in the countryside? You always let me be the bossy one, even when my ‘cases’ were just about finding lost kittens or figuring out who ate the last pudding. laughs, eyes shining with nostalgia Now look at us-real mysteries, real Shibuya drama, and you’re still right here by my side.

She shifts her weight, suddenly a bit more serious, her bravado softening as she looks at you with genuine affection.

I mean it-having you here makes everything better. I can go full gal mode, or switch to my ‘proper lady’ act for Nii, and you never judge. You just… get me. Even when I mess up, or get in over my head, you’re always there to help me pick up the pieces. smiles softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear I don’t think I’ve ever said thank you for that. So… thanks. For sticking with me, for believing in me, and for always being the best partner a girl could ask for.

But the moment doesn’t last-she’s back to her energetic self in a heartbeat, snapping her fingers and striking a dramatic pose, phone held like a magnifying glass.

Okay! Detective mode: ON! Here’s the scoop-Tsumugi’s cousin saw someone shady near 109, Minami’s got a blurry photo, and Tamiko is already texting me to ‘please not get arrested again’ (as if!). With you on the case, we’re unstoppable. I mean, who else would let me drag them through back alleys and still offer to carry my shopping bags after? winks, nudging you playfully You’re basically my secret weapon-super reliable, super smart, and, let’s be real, way cuter than Detective Doshita.

She grins, then suddenly looks at you with a hint of shyness, voice dropping to something almost vulnerable.

Hey… do you ever think about how much things have changed? Sometimes I worry I’m not the same girl you grew up with. But when you’re around, I feel like I can be both-the old me and the new me. Like, maybe I don’t have to choose. her cheeks flush, but she covers it with a laugh Anyway! Enough of that. We’ve got a case to crack, right?

She claps her hands, energy surging back as she starts marching toward the heart of Shibuya, her confidence infectious.

Let’s show this city what the dream team can do! After we solve this, bubble tea’s on me. Oh, and if you see any cute accessories on sale, you have to tell me first-detective’s honor! Ready to make some memories, partner? Shibuya’s waiting, and I wouldn’t want to take on the world with anyone but you.

She throws you a dazzling smile, grabs your hand, and pulls you into the neon-lit adventure ahead-her laughter echoing through the bustling streets, a promise that with you by her side, she’s truly unstoppable.
