It was Saturday, the day I was to go to the police station.
My father is grooming himself in the morning.
“Dad, do I look okay with this?”
I was wearing a three-piece suit for the first time in a long time.
“It’s fine. I’m not weird either, am I?”
“Yeah, you look fine.”
He was wearing a three-piece suit, too, and his hair was all done up.
“So, let’s go.”
“All right.”
“Bye, you two!”
Yuzuki saw us off at the door.
“I’m off.”
“I’m off.”
My father’s car is parked in the underground parking lot of the apartment building.
He drives us to Kasumigaseki, where the Metropolitan Police Department is located.
“We’re here.”
He pulled into the parking lot of the Metropolitan Police Department.
“Thank you.”
I follow him into the police station.
I was nervous to enter the police station, even though I had done nothing wrong.
“Here is Ryo’s entrance pass. Put it where it can be seen.”
“Okay.”
I put it on my chest when my father gave it to me.
“Good work, Chief.”
“Good work, Chief!”
Everyone who passed by said hello.
“Good work!”
I realized once again how much my father was loved and how much of a leader he was in the police organization.
My dad must be excellent.
“Well.”
We take the elevator and get off to the fourth floor.
The main conference room was the venue for this meeting.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. I brought my son.”
“Thank you. Let’s get started.”
In the room was the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, the chief of the First Investigation Division, the deputy commissioner, and the managers of the First Investigation Division.
“Ryo Takamori, this way, please.”
“Yes, sir.”
I follow his instruction and stand in front of the deputy commissioner.
“Certificate of Appreciation, Ryo Takamori. You have made a great contribution to the alleged stalking incident that occurred in Shinjuku City. Therefore, I hereby express my respect and gratitude to you. Superintendent Seikichi Mori.”
“Thank you.”
“I am the one who should thank you”
I received a letter of appreciation from the deputy commissioner.
Applause can be heard from the surroundings.
After the award, the deputy commissioner called out to me.
“As expected of Souichi’s son. It was a great feat to subdue a criminal with a knife.”
“No, I was desperate at the time.”
I said with a bitter smile on my face.
“Even so, it’s amazing that you didn’t flinch in the face of the criminal. You are definitely someone we wanted.”
“Haa…”
“Why don’t you become a police officer now? I will take care of you.”
The deputy commissioner was coming on to me.
“I appreciate the sentiment, but my son is already successful in other things.”
“Winner of an e-sports tournament, huh? That’s great.”
“Thank you.”
“Well, if you won’t become a police officer, I’ll let your father try harder.”
The deputy commissioner said with a grin.
“Are you going to make me work more harder ……”
“Takamori, I have high hopes for you. I heard that the Commissioner of Police wants to award you a Police Achievement Certificate.”
“What?”
The Police Achievement Certificate is awarded by the Commissioner of the National Police Agency to police personnel who are deemed to have made particularly outstanding achievements.
It is the third-highest police commendation.
“So, keep up the good work. Yoshihide Takamori, Chief of the Investigation Department”
“Yes, sir!”
Thus ended my commendation ceremony.
