"By the way, do you guys have Xtreme? If not, I can provide some data, do you want it?"

138. You guys still like this kind of thing?

"Xtreme? I think... oh, I remember now."

Dao Keji rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he answered:

"The documents from Foundation X also contain related information, but that thing is still only in the theoretical stage. In Mom's words, not even the basic framework has been built yet. How come you have it here?"

Huh? Is Foundation X on my side really that slow in its research on the Gaia Memory?

Upon hearing this answer, Gengo was slightly taken aback, but then he thought that compared to Shotaro-senpai's side, he might have acted too quickly. The Sonozaki family might have been wiped out before they could even conduct their research, which caused the progress of the Foundation X to be slowed down.

"It was just a coincidence. Here's what we'll do: if you don't plan to stay here long, give me your email address and I'll send it to you later."

"OK."

Da Dao Keji made a gesture, and at that moment, the office door opened. Chen Huijie walked in happily, hanging the Chixiao sword around her waist. Although she was colleagues with that char siu cat and couldn't kill her, it was really satisfying to see her weapon easily cut in half and look at her humiliated. She figured that after this, that Swire wouldn't come here to show off her so-called new weapon anymore. Seriously, how old is she? How childish!

Hmm? There's a guest. Wait, when I came in just now, wasn't there someone sitting next to me?

Chen Huijie stared at the people surrounding the table, momentarily stunned, then her face flushed slightly. She had been so focused on arguing with Swire that she hadn't really noticed her surroundings. Ugh... Chen Huijie, you're a police officer, after all.

"Hehe, your firm is doing pretty well. I won't bother you any longer while you're making money. See you later."

The moment they heard the door open, Gensou and Daido Katsumi quickly put away the memory modules on the table, so fast that the children next to them were dazzled. Then, Daido Katsumi stood up, glanced at Chen Huijie's horns and tail, didn't pay much attention, casually said a few words, and left.

"Manager, um... is this convenient?"

“It’s convenient. These three little ones are all like my sisters: Takamachi Nanoha, Kinomoto Sakura, and Daidouji Tomoyo.”

Seeing that the dragon girl seemed worried about disturbing him, Yuanxiang naturally took over the conversation. And seeing that Yuanxiang didn't intend to introduce himself, Chen Huijie looked at the children with a smile and said generously:

"My name is Chen Huijie, a member of the Lungmen Guard Bureau. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello, Sister Chen." X3

The three children called out obediently, then Takamachi Nanoha hesitated for a moment and asked softly:

"Did you come and leave again last time, Sister Chen?"

"Ah, it's me. Well, I suddenly remembered something urgent, so I didn't want to bother you any longer."

When Takamachi Nanoha mentioned it, Chen Huijie also remembered her previous experience and hurriedly explained. To be honest, although Takamachi Nanoha was just a child, she looked really scary when she got angry, so she had to get herself out of the situation as soon as possible to avoid being dragged down by the store manager.

I have a feeling that I'm being maliciously suspected.

A sudden thought popped into Yuanxiang's head, leaving him puzzled. However, compared to this question, there were more important things to deal with right now.

"Excuse me, Ms. Chen Huijie, there's a slight problem on my end."

Gengo first glanced at Nanoha Takamachi, who understood his gaze. However, it was clear that Chen Huijie's horns and tail had also aroused her great curiosity, so Nanoha Takamachi pretended not to see them and focused on studying the patterns on the table. Then, Tomoyo Daidouji also met Gengo's gaze. The meticulous child smiled slightly at Gengo, almost as if to say, "I'm pretending to be stupid too."

Ha... These kids aren't afraid of me at all, are they? I'm an adult, after all.

Yuanxiang muttered a helpless complaint to himself, then looked at Chen Huijie, who was full of doubt, and continued:

"I have some memory problems and can't remember anything related to you, so if you don't mind, how about telling me how we met?"

"...Is this a lingering effect of that data virus from last time? Didn't that pink guy cure you?"

"It's magenta."

Hearing this, Chen Huijie touched Yuanxiang's forehead with some concern, while Yuanxiang subconsciously corrected her inappropriate word choice. After the correction, the boy also realized a problem. In his memory, when Kadoya Tsukasa came to remove the virus data, there was no one beside him. However, the inexplicable smoke coming from the kitchen and the double set of utensils on the dining table indicated that he was indeed not alone at the time.

Hmm... Not only have things related to her been forgotten, but her existence has also been replaced by 'books'? Is this... a kind of unique kind of luck?

"Manager, what's with that look of sympathy mixed with amazement on your face?"

Chen Huijie couldn't help but complain, and then she was about to talk about what happened between them, but after saying only half a sentence, "We were together one night...", she suddenly stopped. How could she say that? Did she get drunk and smash up your firm? Oh right, I haven't even paid the compensation yet. Ugh... how am I supposed to bring this up?

"we?"

"Are you there?"

"night?"

"and then?"

Nanoha Takamachi started the conversation, then Sakura Kinomoto instinctively followed, and then Tomoyo Daidouji, while agreeing, subconsciously pulled out a camera. Gengo, meanwhile, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, eagerly awaiting what would follow.

You just want to hear a story, right?!

Chen Huijie glared at Yuan Xiang, embarrassed and annoyed, then sat down on the sofa, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and said angrily:

"That night, when you saw I had horns and a tail, you beat me up without saying a word. Tell me, what should I do...?"

"That's impossible!"

Takamachi Nanoha interrupted Chen Huijie without hesitation. She could tolerate her own rambling, but she would never allow anyone to slander Gensou's image like that, especially since there were two friends here.

"Brother Yuanxiang is not the kind of person who would attack without knowing the facts!"

"Forehead....."

Unexpectedly, she was met with a protest from such a young child. Chen Huijie paused for a moment, then looked helplessly at Yuanxiang, hoping he would give her a way out. However, she found that Yuanxiang was looking at her with a look of enjoyment and anticipation, as if he hoped she would say a few more words so that he could feel the feeling of being protected by his younger sister.

This store manager is surprisingly adorable... Oh wait, why do I have to be the villain?!

Chen Huijie turned her head unhappily, glancing at the table out of the corner of her eye. Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Takamachi Nanoha and said:

"What if I just accidentally crushed the peaches the store manager bought?"

"This...maybe...perhaps...you did it on purpose...um...Brother Yuanxiang, apologize."

"Wait, wait a minute!!"

Genji choked a little and then retorted to Takamachi Nanoha, whose gaze was starting to wander:

"Don't make me sound like someone who only cares about the peach and not the person. Ahem, okay, enough joking around, let's get down to business. Ms. Chen Huijie, do we have any requests between us?"

Hearing this, Chen Huijie breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to recount her embarrassing past. So she quickly picked up the conversation and continued:

"Manager, you promised to make me stronger, and that's the truth."

"Huh? Were those all fake?"

Regardless of Sakura Kinomoto, who only now realized she had been deceived, Gengo thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Huijie and said:

"I suppose I told you something like 'haste makes waste' when I took on this task, so if you have time, we can come and exchange ideas and experiences."

"A friendly spar? How about I join?"

Another voice that sounded very familiar to Yuanxiang came from the doorway. Everyone looked up and saw a pair of petite sisters carrying swords walk in.

"This is Shinobu Kocho, a swordsman who has trained for many years. If we're going to spar, she can definitely be included, since her sword techniques were honed in actual combat. Hmm... Shinobu, and who is this...?"

Gensou introduced the guest who had spoken to everyone, but upon hearing his last words, Shinobu Kocho's expression froze. The girl behind her sighed helplessly, pointed to her own face, and said with a smile:

"My name is Kanae Kocho, Mr. Gengo, is this your..."

"Is that so? Hahaha, you'll get used to it, you'll get used to it, maybe there's more..."

Yuanxiang originally wanted to laugh it off and brush the matter aside, but this time he provoked everyone again. Feeling the dissatisfied, sympathetic, or worried looks around him, the boy immediately made an excuse and slipped into the basement.

A long time ago, Gengo had exchanged the funds left by the Demon Slayer Corps for gold, but he was too busy to deliver them. Now that Shinobu Kocho has come, he can have her take them back with her. However, a rather troublesome problem has arisen for the boy: he seems to have forgotten where he hid the gold.

The box...the box...where should I put it?

Yuanxiang stood in the center of the basement, tapping his forehead with a slight headache. But since he was the one who hid the things, he only needed to guess based on his own way of thinking and habits. So much gold, I should have put it here...?

Gensou lifted the carpet, slid along the pattern on the floor, pulled up the unlocked floorboards, and opened the safe underneath. Sure enough, he saw a box containing gold. The boy was very satisfied with this, since there were many places to hide things in this agency, and it would be too troublesome to search them all one by one.

Hmm? You've already started chatting?

As they approached the basement door, Gensou's exceptional senses detected the seemingly harmonious laughter and conversation coming from the living room. Chen Huijie appeared to allow Kinomoto Sakura to poke her horn, Daidouji Tomoyo seemed quite interested in Kocho Kanao's medical skills, and Konaha seemed to be chatting with Shinobu about their past shopping trips.

Well, I felt a bit out of place there. After all, they were all girls, and it was a bit awkward for a grown man like me to be standing there. Hmm... I should have kept the Dao of Self-Discipline for myself, even if it was a bit stingy.

"You know what, that outfit is really beautiful. I feel like it would look great on Yuanxiang too."

"That's right, after all, Yuanxiang-nii has a great foundation, his women's clothing is really good..."

"Nanoha, wait for me!!"

Just as Gengo was wondering whether he should wait until they finished talking before going out, Takamachi Nanoha's strange remarks startled him so much that he immediately pushed open the door and rushed out, trying to interrupt and cover up Takamachi Nanoha's voice.

At the same time, Nanoha Takamachi, who had blurted out the words, realized that she had said something terrible in the heat of the moment and quickly stopped talking, but it was obviously too late.

Shinobu Kocho: "Woman?"

Chen Huijie: "Pretending?"

Kinomoto Sakura: (°ー°〃)

Kanae Butterfly: (^U^)

Daidoji Tomoyo:?(????)

Seeing the group of girls who had suddenly become inexplicably interested, Yuanxiang sighed with a headache, picked up his suitcase, and walked over, saying helplessly:

"I'm a detective. In order to gather intelligence and complete the case, I sometimes have to take some special actions, so don't think I'll dress up for you. You guys... you're even interested in women's clothing, your tastes are really beyond my expectations."

“We are not interested in men wearing women’s clothing.”

Shinobu Kocho chuckled as she looked at Genjiro, and then Chen Huijie quickly added:

"We're just interested in your cross-dressing."

After saying that, Shinobu Kocho and Chen Huijie gave each other a hearty high five, showing that their friendship was progressing rapidly.

You guys... never mind...

Yuanxiang gave up the opportunity to criticize them, feeling that if he did, he would lose.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Daidouji Tomoyo and Kocho Kanae had smiles that seemed to be full of restless desire, making Gengo want to stay away from them. Kinomoto Sakura seemed to still be imagining what Gengo would look like in women's clothing, but this was clearly beyond her imagination, and she was now in a daze.

Nanoha Takamachi was so embarrassed that she almost hid her head under the table. Even though Gengo was comforting her by rubbing her head, she didn't have the courage to look up at him. After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, it was like reading out her embarrassing past in public.

And the reason I was able to see Genjiro dressed as a woman was because he tried to cheer me up, but I... Ugh... Genjiro, I'm so sorry, Nanoha...

139 can't retire yet.
