Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

This video in Chapter 510 makes me want to eat two more bowls of rice!
Night falls.

Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived at his house with Ai, Vermouth, and Miyano Akemi, who had come from her home. He was also carrying some braised pork and beef that he had prepared at his shop.

However, before he arrived, he received a call from Amuro Tooru, who told him that he would start work the next day.

"Look, Amuro Tooru is starting work soon," Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile. "Looks like his situation is all sorted out!"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth said, "In my opinion, the Japanese Public Security Bureau must have reached some kind of agreement with the US FBI, which is why James was released early."

"Given Amuro Tooru's cunning, James shouldn't be able to get out."

"As for what agreement, I have no idea."

Ai said, "I think so too. Although I haven't had any contact with these two organizations, it must be true."

"Alright, let's stop talking about this." Miyano Akemi said, linking her arm with her sister's. "These things don't really concern us. Let's think about what to do tonight."

"There are four of us, how about we play mahjong together?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "I have no objection. Anyway, I have mahjong and playing cards here."

"You can play whatever you want, and if you get tired, you can stay here."

"Ha, I don't want to live under the same roof as this woman!" Ai pouted.

"Don't want to live under the same roof?" Vermouth said with a half-smile. "Then what happened last time? Weren't we under the same roof?"

"And in the same bed, Sherry!"

Upon hearing this, Ai couldn't help but recall the scenes from her own home, which immediately made her fall silent again.

If she could, she really wouldn't want to live under the same roof as Vermouth.

Because this woman wanted to kill him back then, and even took action, if the organization hadn't been so vigilant, she would probably be several meters old by now, with grass growing on her grave.

All I can say is that Vermouth's words just now were the decisive blow.

"Alright, stop arguing." Miyano Akemi stood between the two and began to mediate: "We're all family now, all sisters, so say less!"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth didn't say anything.

After all, the matter was in the past. Elena Miyano was already dead, and even Sherry and Akemi Miyano had left the organization. She didn't want to keep dwelling on it.

She just wanted to tease Shirley when she saw her happy.

There was no way around it; the damage that Elena Miyano had caused her back then was still there.

However, she herself knew that the harm she suffered was not inflicted on her by Elena Miyano, but rather imposed on her by the organization.

She had always known about this, but she couldn't fight against the organization, so she could only direct her hatred at Elena Miyano. After Elena Miyano died, this hatred continued towards Akemi Miyano and Sherry.

However, thanks to Kitahara Natsuhiro's mediation, the situation improved considerably, at least the calls for war and killings ceased.

However, the two will still try to trip each other up.

These things were nothing to Kitahara Natsuyu; as long as no one died, even serious injuries were acceptable.

Because as long as he doesn't die, he's confident he can bring the other person back.

"Not at all!"

When Ai heard her sister's words, she couldn't help but pout, but she didn't say much, just muttered something.

Although the people around heard it, Ai Haibara felt that this situation meant she was agreeing with her sister.

There's no other way; life goes on. Sometimes being too unreasonable isn't good either. Let's just leave it at that!

Ding Dong
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and two people stepped out. They nodded to Kitahara Natsuyu and the others, then left the apartment building on their own.

Kitahara Natsuhiro went inside after they left, pressed the button for his floor, and the elevator started moving.

In fact, he didn't know anyone in the building, nor did he need to. They were all strangers, and he wouldn't have much contact with them anyway.

However, he would be interested in learning more about a beautiful woman.

Unfortunately, beauties like Vermouth and Ai are ultimately a minority.

Ding Dong
The elevator beeped and the doors opened again, but inside the elevator, none of the four of them spoke; they remained completely silent.

Kitahara Natsuyu took out his key and opened the door, glancing at the room next door as he did so: "Looks like Judy's gone out."

He quickly sensed that Judy next door had already gone out and wasn't home at this time.

As for what he went there to do, it's quite obvious; it must be related to James.

"Looks like knocking her out actually helped her and gave her a rest," Vermouth laughed.

She started observing Judy the moment she saw her; she looked unwell and smelled of secondhand smoke.

However, Judy doesn't smoke, so she must be with people who do smoke, and if nothing unexpected happens, she's probably with those guys from the FBI.

After all, James was arrested, and these FBI agents were bound to have a discussion about it. In this situation, getting some sleep was a luxury.

In other words, it was also a lucky thing for Judy to meet Vermouth after returning to her apartment.

Because he was knocked unconscious, he also rested after being knocked unconscious.

“Maybe she originally wanted to come back and rest.” Kitahara Natsumi chuckled, then went to the entryway and took their shoes out of the shoe cabinet.

He remembered the shoes of Vermouth, Ai, and Akemi Miyano, and each of them was a different color. He also remembered the shoes of the other women.

This will prevent accidents from happening.

After all, women can be quite petty to some extent.

If you can't remember her things, she'll get angry, and you have to treat her equally.

"That's none of my business." Vermouth shrugged, went to the entryway to change into slippers, and walked straight to the living room.

Then Ai and Akemi Miyano changed into slippers and came to the living room.

"Do you want me to go to the kitchen to help you?" Miyano Akemi asked Kitahara Natsuhiro, who was carrying large bags.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "No need, you should go to the living room and keep them company, otherwise they might start fighting again."

He enjoys watching women fight, but he's too busy to see it now.

Even if we're going to fight, we'll wait until he's free, or we'll fight in bed.

"Okay." Miyano Akemi covered her mouth and laughed, then turned and went to the living room.

When she arrived in the living room, the television was already on.

Ai and Vermouth sat on opposite sides of the sofa, not disturbing each other, but...
"This isn't good, let's watch another TV program," Ai said to Vermouth.

“I like watching this.” Vermouth smiled slightly, shaking the remote control in her hand with a smug look on her face.

At this point, whoever controls the remote control holds the initiative.

Vermouth is now in control.

"Hmph!" Ai wasn't angry, but she still snorted and crossed her arms: "What a childish girl!"

"Yes, you're an adult, you're not childish, so let me continue being childish!" Vermouth wasn't angry at all. Instead, she took off her slippers, revealing her legs and feet clad in flesh-colored stockings, which she placed on the sofa. Her excessively long legs had already reached Ai's side.

"Hey, your feet are over here!" Ai glanced at her delicate feet, looking disgusted. "You've crossed the line!"

"Is this your sofa? You're overstepping your bounds!" Vermouth said with a half-smile, "You should refrain from saying things like that in someone else's home, it makes people laugh."

"It stinks! It smells sour and foul!" Ai covered her mouth and nose with one hand and fanned the air twice with the other, as if something was indeed emitting a sour and foul smell.

“Sherry, you really do have a sharp tongue.” Vermouth wasn’t angry, and retorted, “Isn’t that sour smell coming from you?”

"Now you're actually accusing me? That's really going too far!"

Upon hearing this, Ai laughed dismissively: "What a clumsy provocation!"

She's past the age of getting angry over such petty tricks, so she doesn't care at all.

And she would never smell like that, absolutely not!
then
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Vermouth's foot touched Ai's, which made Ai unable to resist.

"Hey, you touched me, get your foot off me!" Ai said in a deep voice.

"Hehehe," Vermouth laughed, raising an eyebrow. "If you don't take it, what can you do to me?"

"Or do you want to fight me?"

She's not afraid of fighting; in fact, it's one of her strengths!

Although we've already played one match in the store, it's not a bad idea to play another one, since we're just killing time anyway.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Ai retorted, but she didn't want to fight because she really couldn't win.

Even if we can't win, we can still annoy Vermouth.

That is.
"Sherry, your foot!!!" Vermouth's face darkened as she looked at the jade-like foot rushing towards her.

"What's wrong with my foot?" Ai asked calmly, wiggling her toes. "Does it even smell?"

If you put your feet on my side, I'll put my feet on your side.

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

She's not afraid of hurting each other; as long as they don't actually start fighting, it's not a big problem.

And this time it was Vermouth who provoked them first; she was only forced to fight back.

Most importantly, her older sister is here too, and she'll definitely help if she sees her being bullied.

As for Kitahara Natsuyu, let's not even mention him!
He just wants to watch women fight, you bastard!

“Good, very good, excellent!” Vermouth’s expression stiffened slightly before returning to normal: “Sherry, it seems you’ve really grown up.”

Since that's the case, she doesn't need to hold back anymore; she'll just go for it!
So Vermouth and Ai started attacking each other with their feet on the sofa, stuffing their toes into each other's faces, bodies, and clothes.

He vowed to transfer the smell of his feet onto the other person.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro was unable to enjoy this scene, as he was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

However, another brave soul took over the task for Kitahara Natsuhiro.

And this warrior was none other than Akemi Miyano.

After arriving in the living room, Akemi Miyano remained silent, watching the two bicker and argue. When she saw them start fighting, she immediately took out her phone, switched it to camera mode, and began filming, a smile playing on her lips.

Yes, yes, that's it! Ai is so cute when she lets loose!

This is what Akemi Miyano is thinking right now!
Vermouth and Ai noticed this, but by then it was too late for them to stop.

Go ahead and take the pictures!

Soon.

Kitahara Natsuhiro then brought out five dishes and a soup.

Akemi Miyano brought out the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, while Ai and Vermouth sat on one side of the table, arms crossed, looking at each other with displeasure.

At this moment, Akemi Miyano handed her phone to Natsuhiro Kitahara and began serving rice.

Kitahara Natsuyu took the phone, pressed a few keys to enter the password, and the phone unlocked. He then accurately opened the camera function, opened the video he had just recorded, and began to watch it with great interest.

"Wow, you two have such a great relationship!" Kitahara Natsuyu glanced at the video, then looked at the two people beside him and laughed: "It's really enviable."

"Are you being sarcastic?" Ai rolled her eyes at her.

“I don’t have that kind of relationship with this woman!” Vermouth said calmly.

"Here, this is your food."

Miyano Akemi handed three bowls of rice to Kitahara Natsuyu and the other two, then served herself a bowl before sitting down and taking a delicious bite of her favorite pork ribs.

"Thank you." Kitahara Natsuyu said thank you while holding his bowl and chopsticks, then picked up the twice-cooked pork and started eating. He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Just looking at these dishes makes me want to eat several bowls of rice. With these videos, I think I could eat ten bowls of rice!"

Akemi Miyano's videos are so good for watching while eating, even better than the delicious food itself.

Beautiful, love watching it!
Upon hearing this, both Vermouth and Ai showed expressions of disgust.

"How disgusting! Saying these things while eating!" Vermouth said irritably.

“I agree!” Ai said, “Let’s not talk about these things while we’re eating.”

After saying that, she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, then ate her rice, and glared at Vermouth.

Vermouth glared back without any hesitation.

"What's wrong with that? I like it. It's not like we don't have them. Besides, I..."

"Have a meal!"

"Eat vegetables!"

Before Kitahara Natsuhiro could finish speaking, Vermouth and Ai together covered his mouth.

One person serves food to the chopsticks, while the other delivers the rice.

What a perfect teamwork!
Rice flower town.

Judy, Malfoy Owen, and Jason Koch arrived at a certain place under the cover of night.

This is the place that the Japanese police and the FBI handed over to James.

The time, location, and number of FBI personnel were all arranged by the Japanese Public Security Bureau. If this limit was exceeded, the Japanese Public Security Bureau would not teach anyone.

After all, this is Japan, not America, even if there are American troops stationed here.

We should at least give Japan some face.

So the FBI headquarters in the United States had no objections, after all, it would be bad if they went too far and could easily backfire.

Even so, the FBI remained quite firm; otherwise, James wouldn't have been released from Amuro's clutches so quickly.

"Judy, do you think the Japanese police will be able to return James to us this time?" Irving asked Judy through his headset from the shadows.

Upon hearing this, Judy's somewhat tired voice came through the earpiece: "There shouldn't be any major problems."

"The headquarters has already reached an agreement with the Japanese police, so it's unlikely they'll go back on their word on this matter."

"Although this is Japan, and Japan's police force is on home turf, we are the FBI, and our strength is far greater!"

Judy was quite confident about this matter.

After all, the United States is a superpower, and it even has troops stationed in Japan, so naturally they can't cause trouble.

Unless they really want to turn against each other.

Therefore, under these circumstances, James should return safely.

However, it's unclear exactly what "safe and sound" means.

But Judy felt that even if James got out of the hands of the Japanese police, he would still need to rest for a while.

As a special agent, she knew very well that once someone fell into someone else's hands, it was impossible for them to come out unscathed.

They would have to undergo at least one round of severe torture, and in more serious cases, they might die upon release.

However, after negotiations between the two sides, James will not die.

“That’s what I think too,” Jason joined the chat. “James will definitely come out safe and sound.”

"But since the Japanese police dared to do this, they need to be taught a lesson!"

They are all elites from the United States, and in their hearts they still think of me as the boss and everyone else as the second-in-command.

Now that they've been humiliated by the Japanese police, they naturally have to retaliate properly.

Otherwise, if I go back, wouldn't my colleagues at headquarters laugh at me?

They absolutely will not allow this to happen.

Upon hearing this, Judy remained silent, which was unusual for her.

Because she didn't know how to start the conversation in this situation.

Her current goal is to defeat the Black Organization, but in the current situation, let alone defeating the Black Organization, even those on the same side are going to fight each other. Wouldn't that make the Black Organization laugh at her?

Therefore, it's best to remain silent for now.

Moreover, she is currently just an agent for the FBI's Japan branch, and there are some things that are not up to her to decide.

We'll discuss not eating anything after James comes back.

"somebody is coming!"

Just then, Shuichi Akai's voice came through the headset.

At this moment, Shuichi Akai was on a high-rise building somewhere, conducting surveillance, and he had a sniper rifle with him.

Is Shuichi Akai alright?

Not!
He was able to come out now only because it was nighttime, there weren't many people around, and he was alone, so he came out to act with Judy and welcome James' return.

Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible.

However, this also indicates that Shuichi Akai has recovered somewhat, since he even brought out a sniper rifle.

It has to be said that Shuichi Akai has a pretty good mental fortitude.

If Kitahara Natsuyu hadn't used such force, he would have emerged from the shadows long ago.

After all, someone who can infiltrate a criminal organization must have extremely strong mental fortitude.

Unfortunately, there was Kitahara Natsuyu, a half-human, half-ghost, who existed!

Upon hearing Shuichi Akai's voice, Jodie and the others looked into the distance and saw a black van driving towards them.

The van stopped when it got close to the spot, and the door opened at that moment.

As the car door opened, a person was pushed out and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

After doing all this, the van immediately reversed and quickly left the area.

"James!"

Judy and two other FBI agents rushed out from the corner and came to James' side.

It was only then that Judy noticed that James was covered in bandages, clearly indicating that he had already received treatment.

And he was still in a coma.

Judging from the appearance, they were drugged or used a sedative.

For example, anesthetic injections!

She also checked James and found that he hadn't been fitted with any transmitters or similar devices!
"Judy, take James with you and get out of here quickly!"

"okay, I get it."

Judy nodded, looked at her two companions, and gestured for them to carry James on their backs and leave immediately, getting into their car and speeding away.

However, instead of taking James to the hospital, they brought him back to their base.

Their base also has doctors and some basic medical equipment.

After all, in this situation, it's best to avoid going outside if possible.

soon
Judy and her two companions brought the unconscious James back.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai quietly returned to the base and locked himself in his room.

Meanwhile, he was also watching the doctor examine James through the external surveillance cameras.

"Jessica, how is James?"

Upon hearing this, the doctor named Jessica said, "James was severely tortured and has multiple fractures all over his body, including his limbs."

"Apart from that, there was no major damage to his internal organs. He is still unconscious because he was given anesthesia and it will take some time before he wakes up."

"But it's not life-threatening, I can handle it!"

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, even Shuichi Akai behind the scenes.

After all, James being alive is the best news for them, as it means that there is still room for maneuver for both sides, and that they don't have to actually fight to the death!

In that case, the Black Organization would be laughing their heads off.

P.S.: I'm still short 2,000, I'll continue paying tomorrow.
