He slightly speculated on his boss's intentions and tentatively asked, "And... join the Narcotics Investigation Department?"
"Hmm," Chief Kujo neither confirmed nor denied it, but judging by her tone, it seemed he guessed right: "I'm glad you're being so proactive, and I hope you'll have a standout performance in the Investigation Department."

Fushimi Roku really wanted to say that he didn't want to join narcotics or go head-to-head with drug dealers on the street, but since he had already spoken, he couldn't take it back. Instead, he said softly, "Tamako has taken leave for a few days, and I want to take care of her for a while..."
"No worries, I'll send a nanny and a rehabilitation therapist over," Chief Kujo said decisively.
Fushimi Roku wished he could slap himself. If outsiders came to their house, how could he and Minamoto Tamako proceed with the next step? If their relationship didn't cool down, it would be a miracle!
