There's nothing we can do about it.
After bidding farewell to Kaoru, Gensato, having returned empty-handed, looked at the sky, rubbed his face, looked in the mirror, and smiled.
After all, Mr. Godai also has his own life. It would be too much to ask him to stay still and wait for his requests.
So, I'll try my best this time. No problem, "Joker" and I won't lose! Absolutely! Absolutely! We'll protect the wind!
158 Sisters Reunited
After returning to the office, Yuanxiang went to Longmen to ask Chen Huijie about the supplies. Chen Huijie helplessly explained that the owner of the goods they had discussed earlier was maliciously raising the price, and Swire was currently negotiating with them, so they wouldn't be able to get the goods for a while. However, even if the negotiations broke down, it didn't matter, as she was contacting other sources of goods and it wouldn't delay things.
After a brief discussion about supplies, Yuanxiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Huijie and said:
"Um, do you have someone suitable to take over the handover? I'm going to be very busy lately and won't have much time to deal with this. I'm really sorry!"
Gensho lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and said with deep shame:
"I'm so sorry that I'm troubling you with this task, but I'll make it up to you later. Please forgive me."
"Manager, aren't you being too polite?"
Chen Huijie slapped Yuanxiang's hand, grabbed his shoulder in annoyance, made him straighten up, then slapped him hard with her other hand, looking at Yuanxiang with displeasure and saying:
"Isn't helping a friend a normal thing? You're making it sound like we're strangers who aren't even neighbors."
"Of course we're friends, but you can't say it like that."
Yuanxiang, wagging his index finger, said in a condescending tone:
"Grandpa once said that the closer the friends are, the less they should leave shadows in each other's hearts, so that the friendship can last."
"........"
Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie's expression became somewhat subtle. How to put it? Although she was happy that Yuanxiang considered her a good friend, seeing him speaking so seriously about his grandfather's words, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
"Anyway, you should contact your friend first and see how things are going on her end."
Chen Huijie picked up Chixiao, tucked it into her waistband, and looked at Yuanxiang, saying:
"Actually, the fewer people who know about this, the better, but if the other side doesn't plan to show up, I'll just find someone else on my side."
"Okay, I'll go contact them now. Sorry, wait a moment."
"Ha...I already said..."
Watching Yuanxiang disappear in an instant, Chen Huijie helplessly covered her forehead, sighed, and murmured the words she hadn't finished saying:
"You don't need to be so polite."
"Huh? Now?"
On the Reunion side, Talulah, dressed in men's clothing, stared in astonishment at Gensou, quickly putting down the box she was carrying, and said in surprise:
"I have no problem with that. To be honest, there's nothing to hide about my identity. Just like in the book you gave me, as long as the idea is passed on, everyone is me. And since you're my friend and helped us collect supplies, I should really think of a way to express my gratitude for that."
"Alright, go tell Alina and Patriot, then come with me."
"Need not."
Talulah waved her hand and pointed to the house behind her, saying:
"Alina is right by the window, look, she's already seen us."
Gensou followed Talulah's gaze and, sure enough, saw the little deer. Alina was also waving and smiling gently in this direction, a smile that truly had a healing charm. However, Gensou was more concerned about what Alina was holding. She was sewing something, and if he wasn't mistaken, she was sewing Talulah's strange military uniform.
"Ahem, well, it's not like I can't sew!!!"
Noticing Gensou's gaze, Talulah blushed slightly and tried her best to explain:
"After all, it's just a cut from a twig, something I could easily fix in no time. Back then, I..."
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."
Feeling that Talulah might reveal some embarrassing secret if she continued, Genji quickly interrupted the silver-haired dragon girl, saying without changing his expression:
"I'm just a little surprised, after all, your military uniform didn't have any problems during such a fierce battle before. Cough cough, speaking of which, Talulah, you look very beautiful like this too."
Indeed, although the dress was a bit too big for Talulah, it still accentuated her beauty. The belt outlined her slender waistline while slightly tightening the loose dress, making her look slimmer and more toned, highlighting her figure without being overly sexy or eye-catching like a tight-fitting dress.
"Is...is that so?"
Talulah smiled sheepishly, then looked down at herself, shifted her body slightly, and said:
"To be honest, I wouldn't want to wear this outfit if the women's clothes I have weren't too unsuitable for labor. But since you put it that way, Gensho, I should consider dressing like this in the future."
"Actually, for you, clothes and appearance are unimportant things."
This is not the time for idle chatter, so Yuanxiang intends to end this topic as soon as possible:
"The main reason is that you have good natural features. Even if you wear an old man's clothes, you will still be beautiful and charming. Okay, let's go. I need to go back and give someone an answer."
"...Okay, sure."
Watching Gensou turn to open the door, Talulah quickly grabbed a handful of snow from the side and pressed it against her cheek. She really couldn't get used to such straightforward praise, and she could tell that Gensou had no ulterior motives mixed in with it; he was simply expressing his feelings from an appreciative perspective, so the praise seemed particularly sincere.
"Talulah?"
"Huh? Oh, here it comes... Wow!!"
Hearing Gensou's call, Talulah snapped out of her daze. Seeing Gensou's puzzled look and remembering what she had just been thinking, the silver-haired dragon girl panicked and hurriedly tried to run towards Gensou. However, she forgot that there was a box next to her feet, so when she lifted her foot, the box flew up and headed straight for Gensou.
However, such an attack obviously could not harm Gensou. The boy caught the flying box with his bare hands, but to his surprise, it contained bread that looked like stones. The gaps in the box were relatively wide, and Talulah was strong. She was not paying attention and made close contact with the stone bread that rushed out with a 'bang'.
"Um... I didn't mean to..."
Talulah carefully took the box, her face flushed as she looked at the red mark on Genji's forehead. She timidly whispered something, and Genji casually wiped it away with a ripple, then pulled Talulah closer and said:
"It's okay, let's hurry."
"okay."
After passing through the door, Talulah
"Wait a moment, I'll call someone right away."
After Gensou and Talulah whispered to each other after hanging a 'Temporarily Closed' sign at the door, they went through the door again to Lungmen. Talulah, who stayed in the office, patted her chest nervously and let out a long breath.
Honestly, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous. To put it bluntly, this is the Reunion Movement.
So, Talulah, quickly recall the etiquette that stinky worm taught you... Wait, no, um... I should change my clothes. Even if they look nice, they're too informal. Why am I only realizing this now? What was I even thinking?!
Standing in front of the mirror, shaking her dragon horns in frustration, Talulah heard the sound of a door opening behind her. With lightning speed, she lowered her hand, her smile polite and composed, and turned around, saying:
"Greetings, sir. I am the leader of the Reunion Movement... Wait, what?"
"Hello friend, I'm glad you can be honest... um?"
"........"
"........"
? ? ? ?
Seeing the two dragon girls suddenly fall silent, Yuanxiang was filled with questions. The two hadn't even finished speaking when they looked at each other and froze on the spot. Um... do they know each other?
"I said, you two..."
"elder sister?"
"Hui Jie?"
Okay, I'll remain silent for now.
Just as Yuanxiang was thinking of easing the tension, he heard the two of them call each other by name accurately and their voices were full of excitement, so the detective decided to log off.
"I didn't expect the friend the store manager mentioned was you."
Chen Huijie released her grip on the sword hilt and looked at her sister, who had been taken away from Longmen twenty years ago. Overwhelmed with emotion, she never imagined that the two of them would reunite under such circumstances. But the reunion came too suddenly, and all her longing choked her words, leaving her speechless.
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be Huijie who helped... Huijie..."
Talulah smiled bitterly, opened her arms to Chen Huijie, looked at her younger sister, and said softly:
"I'm infected now, are you still willing...?"
"nonsense!"
Before Talulah could finish speaking, Chen Huijie strode forward, hugged her tightly, and said:
"I couldn't keep you back then, but this time... I'll never let you disappear from my sight, sister."
"Huijie..."
"Alright, sister, now is not the time to be sad or to celebrate a reunion."
Just as Talulah's eyes reddened, and she was about to hug her younger sister, Chen Huijie let go of her, took a step back, wiped away her tears, and said:
“Yuanxiang didn’t call us here to talk about this. Besides, if we’re all crying and sobbing, we’ll just become a laughing stock.”
"It's okay, it's okay, you can continue chatting. I can pretend I didn't see anything."
Leaning against the doorframe, Yuanxiang, munching on a peach, mumbled a reply, but his obvious desire to continue eating immediately drew angry glares from the two dragon maidens. The boy quickly tilted his head back, stretched his neck, patted his chest, swallowed a mouthful of peach flesh, coughed twice, and pointed to the door beside him, saying:
"If you don't mind, let's talk here."
"This... Manager, I remember Nanoha said that a demon is sealed behind this door..."
Looking at the door to the room with the dartboard hanging on it, Chen Huijie remembered something she had overheard during their last chat. Curious, she walked over and asked Yuanxiang, but the boy waved his hand dismissively and said:
"That was Grandpa lying to you, don't worry about it, haha, I didn't expect little Nanoha to still remember it. Come on, please."
Pushing open the door, Yuanxiang walked down the stairs to a spacious, warehouse-like area with scattered steel frames and other tools, suggesting that someone had planned to build something here but ultimately abandoned the idea.
“Grandpa once said that this was a laboratory and living quarters that he had set up for his friend, but his friend suddenly passed away, so construction here was stopped.”
Seeing the two women's curious eyes, Yuanxiang gave them a simple explanation, then turned around, put one hand on his hip, and waved the other, saying:
"So, since this place is just sitting idle anyway, we might as well use it for supplies. Hmm... Actually, Grandpa left me a proper little warehouse, but we can't just throw away the things inside, so I'm sorry, Talulah."
"No, no, no, Yuanxiang, don't apologize. I don't know how to repay your help and kindness to the Reunion Movement. I...I..."
Talulah hurriedly waved her hand and said to Yuanxiang, Chen Huijie also noticed that her sister's mind was a bit stuck, so she changed the subject and teased her:
"I never knew you owned such a large property, store manager. In a sense, you're quite wealthy."
"Sigh, all of these were left to me by my grandfather. I'm just a freeloader."
