Knights: The journey of support starting with Faiz

"When did you discover me?"

Takatori Renka took a step forward, and the fragrance became even stronger, as if her long-dead taste buds were beginning to revive, constantly eroding her will.

"You only followed along for a short while this morning."

Jiang Ye took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "I thought the beauty had taken a liking to me, but I didn't expect that it would alarm the famous ZECT."

Takatori Renka remained silent.

She wouldn't be involved in investigating ordinary people; that's the kind of work done by people like Kagami, who are at the bottom of society.

But she couldn't bring herself to say it.

The aroma of the fried rice became increasingly overwhelming, making her want to smash the bowl of fried rice immediately.

But there was always a thought in my body that was stopping me.

I wanted to give up and try some food I hadn't tasted in years.

"Did you just eat dry rice?"

Jiang Ye noticed Takatori Renka's wavering resolve and asked softly, "I'm curious, do your superiors at ZECT also only eat this?"

boom!

Like the power of a demon's words, Takatori Renka's already shattered will was completely disintegrated.

Yes!

The bosses make it sound nice that eating only dried rice and some nutritional supplements every day can strengthen one's willpower.

Why aren't they eating?

They live a life of eating large amounts of meat and fish every day.

All I wanted was a bowl of fried rice, and I still had to struggle and hesitate.

Why?

As if to vent her emotions and dissatisfaction, Takatori Renka took a deep breath, the rich aroma of the rice hitting her soul.

She couldn't help but close her eyes and begin to enjoy the wonderful moment.

Jiang Ye stared blankly at Takatori Renka's rapidly changing expression, then glanced at his fried rice.

Golden fried rice is definitely the right choice.

It's not a "Heartbreak Rice" (a dish that evokes a sense of profound sorrow and longing).

Why does her expression look so...seductive?

Chapter 56: Finding Jiang Ye to be the groom.

Fragrant.

It smells so good.

Jiang Ye's creations are incredibly tempting to those who frequently enjoy fine dining.

Moreover, this applies to Takatori Renka.

As her willpower crumbled, she felt a deep longing emanating from every cell in her body.

Open your eyes.

Takatori Renka decisively sat down on the sofa, picked up the bamboo chopsticks placed next to the plate, and took a big bite.

For an instant.

It's as if a long-cherished wish has been fulfilled.

After endless waiting, dawn finally broke.

The overwhelming sense of satisfaction resonated through her soul, causing her to unconsciously let out a soft moan.

One mouthful.

Two mouthfuls.

Takatori Renka ate heartily, unable to stop.

Seeing that the other person seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, Jiang Ye got up, took a glass of water, and placed it on the coffee table next to Lianhua.

Less than five minutes.

A plate of golden fried rice was completely devoured.

Not a single grain of rice or a single piece of vegetable was left; the plate was so clean and tidy that it looked like it had been specially washed.

Goo, goo, goo!

After gulping down half a glass of water, Takatori Renka lay back on the sofa and let out a comfortable burp.

"thanks for treatment."

Takatori Renka turned to look at Jiang Ye, her voice slightly distorted.

When she tasted flavorful food again, especially the exquisitely delicious food made by Jiang Ye himself, she couldn't control her intake.

Too full.

"Small things."

Jiang Ye sat on the single sofa and said softly, "Alright, you continue with your mission. I'll pretend I didn't notice you."

Takatori Renka stared intently at Jiang Ye and asked, "Why are you cooking for me?"

"To break your will, corrupt your spirit, and destroy your faith."

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Is this reason acceptable?"

Takatori Renka shook her head.

There are many ways to break a person's will.

Cooking for others is not included at all.

"I want to know the truth."

Takatori Renka said earnestly.

"There's no reason for this."

Jiang Ye's expression became more serious as he said, "I just think you shouldn't just be a freeloader."

Takatori Renka remained silent.

After a long pause, she whispered, "Can I stay?"

"I can pay the rent, help clean the room, and I can also help you fabricate documents with ZECT."

This is all the bargaining chips she can offer right now.

"can."

Jiang Ye pointed to his room: "Besides the master bedroom, you can choose any of the other rooms."

Takatori Renka smiled genuinely, her adorable, childlike face like a sweet candy.

exactly.

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

Takatori Renka glanced at it; it was a message from Mishima Masato, containing only four words.

"how is the progress?"

After a brief hesitation, Takatori Renka took a deep breath, dialed the number directly, and turned on speakerphone.

"Did you find anything?"

Masato Mishima's deep voice rang out.

Takatori Renka deliberately lowered her voice and said, "The mission went smoothly, and we have already infiltrated his side."

"Oh?"

Masato Mishima paused for a moment and asked, "What identity did you use? The organization will help you verify the details of your identity."

"The God-waiting girl who ran away from home."

Takatori Renka said without hesitation.

Jiang Ye stared blankly at her. Other reasons were one thing, but wasn't this one a bit too outrageous?

"A good excuse."

Masato Mishima was very satisfied with this reason: "Perfect, I can observe it up close and learn more information."

After a brief pause, Masato Mishima changed the subject, his voice becoming even lower: "When necessary, we also have a legitimate reason to intervene."

"clear."

Takatori Renka nodded and said, "I will try my best to gather information."

"Yes, be careful to hide and don't let him find out."

Masato Mishima gave this earnest instruction.

"Yes."

Takatori Renka turned her head to look at Jiang Ye beside her.

Jiang Ye returned an innocent look.

"I will get your information as soon as possible and send it to you then."

After saying that, Masato Mishima hung up the phone.

"I want to tell you that from today onwards, I will no longer lie to you."

Takatori Renka said to Jiang Ye in a serious tone, "You can make any requests you may have in the future."

For her, it wasn't just a simple meal.

That was a struggle between years of brainwashing and bodily instincts.

It was also a good medicine that completely woke her up.

This reminded her of something very important.

I am a human being!

It's not a machine.

They survived on dry rice and nutritional fluids.

No matter how strong a young body is, it cannot withstand such a drain.

It may not be long before I die from the decay of my body's cells.

Jiang Ye got up and went into the bedroom, letting out a sigh: "Let's talk about that after you learn how to be a woman."

"woman?"

Takatori Renka looked bewildered.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ···

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the previous training.

The instructors' most frequent saying was, "Remember your identity: you are soldiers. Don't think of yourselves as delicate women."

How do you be a woman?

Takatori Renka murmured softly.

Countless thoughts and images flashed through her mind, all of them scenes of her hard training over the years.

It seems she has truly forgotten her gender, forgotten how to be a good...woman!

Ultimately, she chose to search online.

"Ten good habits to make you a happy woman!"

"The most important thing for a woman is to know how to be charming and interesting."
