Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"are you serious?"

Helena frowned.

Even Helena's mother, Maria, although she accepted the fact that Fim had multiple lovers besides her, deep down, Maria had never forgotten the beautiful idea of ​​a "one man, one woman" marriage.

Unlike the womanizing Fim, Li Xin was not a lecherous man, and according to her observations, he was respectful to women. Even when instructing Helena in martial arts, he only touched on the points and never made any physical contact with her. This was what Helena appreciated most about Li Xin.

In other words, if Li Xin, who is so earnest and not frivolous, were to seize the opportunity in his next life, it would be entirely possible for him to achieve the ideal marital relationship of "one life, one love, one partner".

She believes that women are selfish in matters of the heart, so why should Lai Sheng Lei give away a man who could have been completely hers to share with someone else?

Could it be that he has some kind of special fetish? But judging from Sheng Lei's appearance and demeanor, it doesn't seem like it!

Lai Sheng Rui first smiled, then a hint of helplessness crept into her smile: "I had no choice..."

As the saying goes, "There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing." People are selfish. Since there is only one ox, people naturally want it to plow their own fields and not touch other people's fields.

However, if the object is not a cow, but a tractor, and even a nuclear-powered tractor, then that's a different story.

Earlier, Li Xin's physical strength had already made Lai Sheng Lei somewhat unable to bear it, but she could still barely persevere.

Later, Li Xin learned some kind of Pure Yang Heart Method from the "Martial Arts Notes" that Hu Laoliu sold him. His energy in that area was like limitless, and he could really keep her entertained all night long.

She barely slept last night. Luckily, Li Xin used "Mingyu True Qi" to treat Laishenglei's body and restore her energy after finishing his business. Otherwise, Laishenglei would have slept like a log today.

Under these circumstances, Lai Sheng Lei really hoped that the tractor would use its power elsewhere and not keep focusing on her field, lest it ruin it!

Rubbing her temples, Lai Sheng Lei said wearily, "Well, I won't go into the specifics. You'll understand if you have the chance later. Anyway, I don't object to anything happening between you and Ashin, but don't expect me to set you up. What happens between you and Ashin depends on Ashin's wishes. I won't interfere. Okay, that's all I have to say. Ashin will be back soon. The coffee shop manager's coffee here is pretty good. Miss Helena, why don't you order one?"

Helena's expression changed, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Mary Rose, who had been listening in the entire time, silently lowered her head and drank water, as if she hadn't heard anything, but in her mind she was ranting and raving.

Is this what high society is like? It's so chaotic!

Li Xin returned from buying chewing gum and handed it to Lai Sheng Lei. Seeing that Helena's expression was very strange and she was looking at him with a complicated look, Li Xin asked Lai Sheng Lei in a low voice, "Little Lei, what did you say to Helena just now?"

Lai Sheng Lei gently brushed her hair aside: "It's nothing, Ashin, don't worry about it."

Well, since Lai Sheng Lei has said so, what can Li Xin say?

"Manager, we have prepared the ingredients for the kitchen."

Rachel walked out of the kitchen. Besides working as a waitress, she and Alma also knew a bit about cooking, so they also worked part-time as kitchen helpers. After all, it was a monthly salary of 600,000 yen, so they were willing to do more work.

"Oh, thank you, Rachel."

Hayato Ijuin thanked Rachel, thinking to himself that hiring these two waitresses was a good deal. Honoka was too busy entertaining guests to cook for him, and he felt like he was doing the work of four people. Now that there were two more people to help, both he and Honoka could relax a lot.

Rachel's voice caught Li Xin's attention. He turned to look at the kitchen and saw Rachel: "Rachel, what are you doing here?"

"I've come to Japan to find you!"

Rachel excitedly took off her headscarf and walked towards Li Xin: "Didn't I say before that I was going to come to Tokyo to find you? But I didn't know where you were, so I was thinking of settling down in Tokyo first and then slowly looking for you. I didn't expect to run into you on my first day of work!"

Li Xin apologized, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I kept forgetting to tell you my address."

Lai Shenglei looked at Rachel and asked Li Xin, "Xin, is this young lady someone you know?"

"Her name is Rachel, and she's a friend I met abroad."

Li Xin introduced the situation to Lai Shenglei.

"Sister, I think I just heard Mr. Ashin's voice..."

Alma also peeked out from the kitchen, and Li Xin introduced her, "This is Rachel's sister, Alma."

Rachel and Alma never expected that the job they originally chose because of its high salary would become the opportunity for them to find Li Xin.

Hayato Ijuin was extremely surprised to find that his new employee was actually a friend of "X". He knew that the two had come to Tokyo to look for someone, but he did not expect that the person they were looking for was "X".

After his initial surprise, Hayato Ijuin remembered something and cautiously asked Rui Kisugi, "Miss Kisugi, these two are my new employees. I let them stay in the rooms on the second floor. Is that alright?"

Although Kisugi Rui had already said that Ijuin Hayato could use the second-floor room at will, since Kisugi Rui was here, he still had to tell him.

"You mean the room Xiao Ai and I share..."

Lai Sheng Lei sized up Rachel and Alma. Rachel was tall, voluptuous, and hot, while Alma was pure and cute with short hair, which reminded Lai Sheng Lei of her own younger sister, Xiao Ai.

Looking at the two sisters, Lai Sheng Lei smiled and said, "Of course, no problem! These two ladies are Ah Xin's friends. Please feel free to use the rooms on the second floor. Don't be shy!"

Alma aside, this woman named Rachel is so big, she looks very strong and durable!

Chapter 715 Sword Technique

"Mr. Naijuin, we'll be leaving now. We're so sorry to have kept you from opening your shop."

Checking out the newly opened Cat's Eye Cafe, having a heart-to-heart talk with Helena, and even making two new friends, Rei's trip was truly fruitful.

"You're welcome, Miss Laisheng is welcome to visit anytime... Oh no, look what I'm saying, Miss Laisheng is clearly the hostess!"

Hayato Ijuin tapped his head: "I should say, welcome, Miss Kisugi, to your inspection!"

It was rather comical for a muscular man to make such a move. Rui Kisugi was amused by Hayato Ijuin's appearance and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Ijuin."

After Rui and the others left Cat's Eye Cafe, Hayato Ijuin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Honoka, "Honoka, let's open for business!"

"Ok!"

Honoka is full of energy and authentic.

After leaving Cat's Eye Cafe, Helena suddenly said to Laisheng Rui, "Miss Laisheng, I just remembered that I have some things to take care of, so I won't stay with you any longer. Goodbye."

Knowing that Helena needed time to process what she had just said, Rui Kisugi smiled and said to Helena, "It's alright, we're neighbors now anyway, we can visit each other often."

Helena then remembered that Laisheng Rui was her neighbor, and it wouldn't be easy for her to avoid her in the future. She could only say, "Please let me know before you come, Miss Laisheng, so that I can prepare in advance to welcome your visit."

Lai Sheng Lei was very satisfied with Helena's proper demeanor. She took Li Xin's arm and said to Helena, "Then I'm going on a date with Xin. Miss Helena, you go ahead and do your work."

Helena's breath hitched for a moment, and she forced a smile: "I hope Miss Laisheng and Ashin have a good time!"

After Helena and Mary Rose had walked away, Li Xin couldn't help but ask Lai Sheng Lei, "Little Lei, what did you and Helena talk about just now?"

He knew perfectly well that when Lai Shengrui asked him to buy chewing gum earlier, it wasn't to clean her mouth, but rather because she had something to say to Helena and was deliberately trying to get him out of the way.

Lai Sheng Lei rested her head on Li Xin's shoulder and smiled as she said to him, "If I were to tell you, why did I send you away just now?"

Li Xin was speechless. What he said made so much sense that he had no reply.

However, since Lai Shenglei was unwilling to speak, he did not force her. Otherwise, it would not have been difficult for Li Xin to eavesdrop on their conversation using his spiritual perception when he left earlier, and he would not have been discovered by the two of them.

He believed that Lai Sheng Lei was a sensible person and wouldn't bully Helena... right?

Lai Sheng Lei shook Li Xin's arm and said to him, "Let's go shopping."

Li Xin nodded. He and Laishenglei had been separated for over a month. Although neither of them were clingy, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and they wanted to spend more time together.

After parting ways with Li Xin and Lai Sheng Lei, Helena did not return to the tower apartment. Instead, she said to Mary Rose, "Come on, Mary, let's go see 'Heart'."

"Kokoro" now lives in the "X" agency, sharing a room with Kasumi. For some reason, the two of them get along very well with each other, so they don't dislike living together; on the contrary, they like it.

"Sister, what brings you here?"

When "X" Agency's "Heart" saw Helena arrive, he was initially delighted, but then became puzzled.

Shouldn't my sister be in Paris with our parents? Why is she in Tokyo?

Helena could only repeat the same line she had told Li Xin before, along with "Xin," and then said, "'Xin,' I have something I want to talk to you about. Can we talk alone for a while?"

"Heart" naturally had no doubt that Helena was trying to frame her by orchestrating a power struggle within a wealthy family, and said directly, "Of course."

The two sisters went to the rooftop, while even Mary Rose was left downstairs by Helena.

Helena saw a tent on the rooftop. "Heart" explained to Helena, "This is Miss Leanna's tent. She usually lives here, saying it's a habit she had when she was in the army."

But the problem is that the military doesn't live in tents anymore; there are dedicated military camps, aren't there?

Helena thought to herself, but then she thought, maybe Leona was deliberately living in a tent to toughen herself up, because she was afraid of being influenced by the peaceful life in the city.

(Leona: Actually, living on the second floor means I can't sleep because of that jerk couple.)

However, Helena had nothing to do with why Leona was sleeping in a tent, so the thought only flashed through Helena's mind before disappearing.

She said to "Heart": "'Heart', you returned to Tokyo to follow Ashin, but Ashin already has a lover, and more than one. Can you accept that?"

"Of course you can!"

The "heart" answered instantly, as if it didn't even need to think.

Of course, no thinking is required.

Unlike Helena, a lady from a prominent French high society, Kokoro received geisha training from a young age. For Kokoro, it was almost a given that wealthy and powerful men had many women. A geisha's patron would certainly not have just one woman, or even just one geisha. Therefore, Miyako taught Kokoro mostly "bedroom skills" and tricks to win favor, so that Kokoro could hold onto men tightly in the future and not end up like her, being dumped by men in the end.

(PS: Although Miyako deserved to be dumped.)

The answer from "Heart" was so straightforward that Helena couldn't help but wonder if she, who was thinking of "one love for life," was the abnormal one.

"Also, I would be very happy to share Ashin with my sister!"

The word "heart" was another surprising remark, leaving Helena momentarily stunned.

Holding Helena's hands and placing them against her chest, "Heart" said with a very innocent smile, "We're sisters, aren't we? Since we're sisters, we should share everything! Sister, you don't need to hide it from me, we know, you like Lord Ashin too, right?"

"Even so, you shouldn't share men!"

Helena tried to pull her hand away from "Heart's" grasp, but found that "Heart" was holding on very tightly, and she couldn't pull it away at all.

"Why not?"

With an innocent expression, "Heart" said, "Didn't Father also maintain relationships with seven mothers? Sister, you didn't say anything, did you? Or do you think Mother Maria made the wrong choice?"

"I...I didn't say that..."

Since it involved her parents, Helena couldn't say anything bad about them.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem!"

"Heart" said to Helena, "Sister, we need to hurry up! There are a lot of girls who like Lord Ashin. Besides Sister Lisha, who has already confirmed her relationship with Lord Ashin, I think that woman from the 'Female Fighters Team' who sells her body is also subtly flirting with Lord Ashin."

“I know that the landlady’s daughter of the house where Lord Ashin lives has been looking for excuses to get close to Lord Ashin.”

“Ayane often sneaks into Lord Oshin’s room at night.”

"And those two women, Mature and Vice, are also eyeing Lord Ashin..."

"Sister, if we don't win over Lord Ashin soon and drive away the women around him, we'll get much less love in the future!"

"Heart" said it in a very serious tone.

Are you planning to weld the car doors shut once you get in?

Helena stared at "Heart" in shock, never expecting her sister to be so cunning. She had always thought her sister was an innocent and naive person.

But what's wrong with a woman using her wits to win over a man she likes?

Helena sighed, suddenly feeling a bit resentful towards Li Xin. But upon closer reflection, well, Li Xin had never actively flirted with them; in fact, he had even helped and saved them. It was just that he was so outstanding that he naturally attracted them, nothing more.

After talking with her sister, Helena's mind not only didn't become clearer, but became even more confused, so she had to take her leave in a hurry.

Helena felt she hadn't made up her mind yet, but "Heart" could tell that Helena was almost ready to side with her.

Okay, let's bring my sister on board too. That way, we'll have a much better chance of winning over Lord Ashin's favor in the future!

The heart clenched into a fist.

....................................

After spending some time in Tokyo, Li Xin and Lai Sheng Lei boarded a bus to Yokohama, their destination being the Chung Hwa Lou restaurant.

"It's been a long time since I visited Xiaoxue. And Boss Yuan has taken care of Xiaoxue for so long, we should go and pay him a proper visit to express our gratitude."

This is what Lai Sheng Lei said to Li Xin, which made Li Xin slap his own head.

Ah, I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten about Xiaoxue. Xiaolei is so thoughtful!

Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but hug Lai Sheng Lei tightly. What would he do if he didn't have Lai Sheng Lei?

The two cuddled for a while, and then headed to Zhonghua Restaurant together.

Inside the Zhonghua Building, Sect Master Luo Xiu was also visiting his disciples.

"Chion, Taro, Hidehiko, Eiji, Shoya... Your master has come to see you again!"

Luo Xiumen looked at his five disciples with emotion.

Previously, the "Loser's Team" and the "X" team split the championship prize money. Neither Wuji nor Haogui had any interest in such mundane things as money, so the prize money was left to Sect Master Luo Xiu. With the prize money from the "KOF" tournament plus the money that Sect Master Luo Xiu had saved up, he finally raised six million US dollars. Although he couldn't redeem all his disciples, he could still redeem three of them by redeeming them separately, and that was exactly what Sect Master Luo Xiu wanted to do.
