Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

Of course, the most important thing is to retreat in order to advance, making the other party think that they have avoided paying money. In this way, when you ask for free food and accommodation, the probability of the other party agreeing will increase significantly.

"But..." Jing Qinren had no idea that the beautiful girl in front of her could be so mean. She only felt that the girl in front of her seemed to have some sympathy with her. "But I was the one who didn't look at the road."

"Why are you so troublesome?"

Tsuzuki Chihiro put her hands on her hips and frowned, pretending to have a headache. "Forget it, if you really feel bad, then I'll treat you to a meal. Is that okay?"

"Eh?" Nina looked confused. "Shouldn't I be the one treating you to dinner?"

"Are you kidding me? Do I need you to treat me? I am..."

At this point, Qianxun pretended to take out her wallet to show off her financial strength. Then, when she took out her small wallet and opened it, her expression suddenly changed. She said in a panic, "Where's my money? Was it stolen?!"

Chapter 3: You Can Break In and Pick Locks Too?! (1/2)

Night has fallen. In a traditional Japanese ramen restaurant, Jing Serina sits at one end, while Tsuzuki Chihiro sits at the other.

As Renai looked at Chihiro who ate ramen quickly but at the same time maintained a ladylike demeanor, her thoughts became more certain.

It seems that this sister is similar to me and has also had some conflicts with her family.

The other party's situation was even worse than hers. The pampered young lady had her bank card frozen by her family after escaping overnight, and the only cash she had was stolen by a thief.

It seems that the security in Tokyo is not that good!

"Um, Tsuzuki-nee... where are you living now?"

"..."

Hearing this, Tsuzuki Chihiro immediately entered the state and began to perform according to the predetermined script, "I don't know... If it really doesn't work out, maybe I have no choice but to go home?"

"Go home?"

Rencai suddenly thought of herself and her family's lack of understanding of her. She was clearly the victim, but it seemed as if all the fault was on her.

If possible, she would rather live a hard life than go home.

"My original plan was to find a job in Tokyo, but now I've encountered thieves as soon as I get here. There's nothing I can do except ask my family to pick me up."

"or……"

Jing Qinrencai really wanted to find out why Chihiro left home, but she knew that she would not easily tell a stranger about such a thing, let alone others.

But it seemed a bit unfair for her to just leave it like that. If she had to give a reason, besides bumping into the other person at the station, it might be more because there was something about the other person that resonated with her.

"How about, Tsuzuki-san, why don't you come and live with me first?"

"Ah? No, no, it's already troublesome enough for you to ask you to treat me to a meal, how can I possibly stay at your house?"

"it does not matter."

Jing Qinren's little head shook gently, looking quite cute. In Chihiro Tsuzuki's eyes, it even seemed that her movements could shake out an endless stream of gold coins.

Ahem...it seems like she's finally showing her true colors.

"I'm alone... and I'm pretty scared. If you could come, at least I wouldn't be so lonely."

"...Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"Bad guy? How could it be!"

"..."

Chihiro Tsuzuki's beautiful eyes stared silently at the girl in front of her for a long time, and she suddenly didn't want to continue lying to the child.

Although she was able to live a comfortable life by relying on her self-packaging and excellent guitar skills when she was in the UK, even though she stayed in the band for a long time because she could not cooperate well with other members of the band.

But she felt that it was not good for a little fool like the one in front of her, who was most likely to have had a conflict with his family and ran to a strange city alone, to be harmed by someone like her.

At least, give the child some warmth in a strange city, and don't let the child think that Tokyo is not only "bad security" but also that they may encounter female scammers on the road at any time.

"Actually, I have a place to stay, so I don't need to go to your place. I just wanted to eat your meal on purpose."

"Eh?"

"As compensation for cheating you out of a meal, I'll help you get home. I'm afraid a fool like you will really run into some bad guys."

"Who is the little fool?"

Jing Qinrencai puffed up her lips, looking unconvinced.

However, she didn't believe what Chihiro Tsuzuki had just said at all. She now had a preconceived notion that her initial judgment was correct.

The reason why Sister Tsuzuki said this might be to make me give up helping her.

"Then let's go get the keys first. The keys to the house I rented are still with the agency."

"Okay, let's go now."

After Rencai paid the bill, the two of them each dragged their suitcases and walked on the street at night. According to Rencai, the agency and the housing location were not far from here.

Otherwise, if she had to take the subway, Chihiro felt that she would be so embarrassed that she would have to let this girl pay for her subway ticket.

"Tsuzuki-sister..."

"Call me Chihiro."

"Eh?"

"My name is Chihiro Tsuzuki, and Rakuna... is my sister's name." Chihiro Tsuzuki explained with a smile.

"Sister Qianxun, my name is Jingqin Rencai, you can just call me Rencai."

The inexplicable friendship between the girls was indeed inexplicable. They had just known each other for a short time, but they started calling each other by their names.

It didn't matter to Chihiro Tsuzuki. She had been abroad for a long time and was a little unfamiliar with the honorifics in China, so she didn't think it was that complicated.

"Nina isn't from Tokyo, is she?"

"Ah... I'm from Kumamoto Prefecture." Isenai Renai didn't want to talk much about family matters, so her answer was very brief.

"Yeah." Qianxun nodded casually, without asking any more questions, "Is the agency still open right now?"

It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, and I have to admire her for actually following Nina around in the suburbs of Tokyo for several hours.

Alas, the efficiency of defrauding money is the lowest ever, right?

"It's indeed a bit late compared to the agreed time..."

"But maybe it's not closed yet?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought, and if I don't have the key..."

"You have to do the same as me... Oh no, you have to stay at my place for the night."

"..."

Sister Tsuzuki really can't lie. It is obvious that Chihiro Tsuzuki, who is almost 10 centimeters taller than herself, still insists that she can solve all problems by herself.

But soon, Rencai was faced with her own problems.

"Oh no, they're really closed." Looking at the darkened store, Jing Qinrencai felt somewhat helpless. "But it's indeed much later than the agreed time...

Oh, maybe there’s a spare key at the door!”

After coming up with a new idea, the daredevil Nina directly pulled the confused Chihiro Tsuzuki and ran in another direction.

However, the result disappointed her again.

"You should still have the agent's number in your phone, right? Why don't you contact him?"

Looking at the little girl squatting on the ground looking for the non-existent key, and then trying to rummage through the distribution box when she couldn't find it, Chihiro Tsuzuki felt a little amused.

She didn't just get sucked in, she got a stupid fool with no brains.

"But my phone is out of battery..."

"Oh, forget it, I'll do it."

"Eh? Tsuzuki-san, do you have the agent's phone number?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki smiled slightly and did not answer the question. Instead, she picked up a thin wire that she had just noticed from the ground beside her, and twisted it into an irregular shape under Nina's dull gaze.

Then, under his doubtful and skeptical gaze, after trying a few times...

Click.

“Is it really open?!”

Jing Qinren looked at the wide-open door in disbelief, then looked at Chihiro beside her with a surprised look, "Sister Tsuzuki, why are you..."

"Ah, my family manufactures all kinds of locks, so this is a simple case for me."

"Oh I got it……"

What the hell! Are you sure you're not an agent?!

Chapter 4 Where are you from, female agent? (2/2)

"Do you have any bedding for sleeping?"

When they walked into the house, the entrance was pitch black. When Rencai was groping for a light in the dark, Chihiro asked curiously behind her.

"Ah... there should be."

"should?"

"Well, I told the agent to prepare it for me in advance...ah, I don't know if there are two quilts."

There are generally two situations when renting a house in Neon. One is for long-term tenants, which usually come without furniture or with some basic furniture.

The other type is short-term rental, which is often rented to foreign tourists. Such houses are fully equipped.

However, looking at Rencai's house, it seems to be somewhere in between the two. After all, when the two came to the bedroom, they did see a bed and a cabinet, well... it seems that's all.

"You... don't have any lights or air conditioning?"

"hey-hey……"

Looking at the reddish-brown-haired girl who was touching her head and grinning foolishly, Chihiro Tsuzuki was really defeated by her.

However, for a girl who came to a strange city alone, having a place to live was already great, at least much better than someone like herself who had no relatives.

Oh no, it can’t be said that she has no relatives. Chihiro Tsuzuki has a grandmother in Tokyo who was once a famous musician, and a little cousin Lena who is probably in the third grade of junior high school now.

Thinking of her lovely sister, Chihiro couldn't help but smile.

If she hadn't gone to England to develop her career out of spite with her grandmother, and hadn't refused to go home for more than two years because of her ridiculous pride, she estimated that the person who had been hanging around her wouldn't be Aine or Nina, but her younger sister Lenai who liked to sleep with her head resting on her belly.

"Um... Sister Qianxun, why don't you sleep on the bed? There's a quilt in the closet, and I'll sleep on the floor."

"Are you really going to let a stranger like me live in your place?"

"What's the big deal? It's already 10 o'clock. Where else can you go, Chihiro?"

Seeing that she had achieved her original goal inexplicably, Tsuzuki Chihiro did not continue to be pretentious, but she stopped the girl's action, snatched the big quilt that could cover the little girl's body and threw it on the ground.

"I can't let you sleep on the floor. I'll stay with you tonight. I'll contact my family tomorrow."

"But……"

"Is there anything to drink? I'm thirsty."

"I have water in my schoolbag."

Jing Qinrencai clapped her hands, then quickly ran back to the outer room and walked back while rummaging through her schoolbag.

But when she returned to the bedroom, she saw Chihiro Tsuzuki holding a guitar and gently wiping the fine dust on it with a piece of toilet paper.

Nice old guitar.

This was Jing Qinren's first reaction, and she happened to turn her head to take a look at the open small suitcase next to Qianxun, and this glance made her mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Wigs of various colors, disposable gloves, a notepad, a box that looked like it contained cosmetics, and an ordinary pen next to it. Then there were several dozen cards tied together with rubber bands...

Um, that looks like a business card? But the words on it are in English, which Jinna can't quite understand.

What was left seemed to be just a few sets of clothes, but there was no way for Rencai to know if there was anything hidden under these clothes. After all, it was very impolite to peek, and she couldn't possibly rummage through things out of curiosity.

But Rencai honestly felt that if there were a few more eavesdropping devices or pistol parts in this box, she wouldn't even find it strange.

The main thing is... this sister Qianxun just showed off her skills in sneaking in and picking locks.

But everyone actually has secrets. Although Nina wanted to ask, it was obvious that she and Chihiro Tsuzuki were not that familiar with each other yet, so she just knelt on the ground, handed the drinking water to her, and asked quietly:
