Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Mingxia did nothing wrong and knew nothing, but out of jealousy, he actually regarded his only friend as an enemy. Wasn't his behavior childish?

Ayane stood up from the ground, patted her slightly wet bottom, and just as she turned around, she was suddenly bumped into, and the two of them fell into the sea together.

Ayane, who had fallen into the water, saw that the person who had knocked her down was Kasumi. Her initial feeling of guilt towards Kasumi vanished instantly, and she angrily shouted, "Kasumi, are you trying to drown me and eliminate an opponent ahead of time?!"

Ayane was furious, but Kasumi, who had pushed her into the sea, hugged her and kept apologizing to Ayane: "I'm sorry, Ayane, I'm so sorry, Ayane! I'm so sorry!"

Kasumi apologized and cried at the same time, which confused Ayane. What was wrong with Kasumi?

"I'm such an idiot! I even resented you for breaking off our friendship, but I didn't even think to understand why you broke off our friendship... I'm sorry, I'm not a good older sister. Ayane, you can hit me or scold me, I will make it up to you!"

Kasumi hugged Ayane tightly.

"No, let go..."

"I won't let go! Ayane, I'll never let go again! We'll be together forever!"

"Let go! It's sinking! It's sinking! It's sinking!"

"I won't let go, I'd rather die than let go!"

"Cuckoo..."

"Cuckoo..."

Chapter 706 Family Reunion Ceremony

Ayane and Kasumi were pulled from the sea by Angel.

"You two, you can joke around all you want, but don't kill anyone!"

Angel lectured the two of them.

Thankfully, the two of them didn't actually sink. Angel pulled them up from the shore. If they had really sunk, Angel wouldn't have been able to retrieve them; she's as heavy as a rock and sinks faster than the two of them once she's in the water.

Ayane and Kasumi emerged from the sea and saw that each other was soaked to the bone. Thinking back to how they looked just now, they couldn't help but laugh.

How stupid!

Both of them thought to themselves, but neither of them could say for sure who was the dumbest.

"sorry."

Ayane spoke first, saying to Kasumi, "These past few days, I've been deliberately bullying you. I know it has nothing to do with you, you know nothing, and I shouldn't resent you, but... I can't help it..."

Kasumi hugged Ayane and said to her, "It's okay. If I were you, I would have been even worse."

"The shoes in your shoe cabinet before were all stolen and thrown away by me."

Ayane confessed to Kasumi.

“I know I set up a trap in the shoe cabinet. No one but you, being a ninja, could take it. And the second time, I put drugs in the shoes.”

"No wonder I suddenly developed a rash on my hands!"

Ayane suddenly felt a surge of anger again, but then she realized she had gone even further and her anger subsided.

"A classmate from the third year of junior high confessed his feelings to you. I was the one who encouraged him. I told him you had feelings for him..."

Ayane added.

"It's you!"

Hearing Ayane mention this, a spark ignited in Kasumi's heart.

Previously, a very popular boy in the third year of junior high school confessed his feelings to Xia. Xia naturally rejected him, as she had no interest in such a brat. However, this still aroused the jealousy of the female students in the school who admired the boy.

Who understands the malice of middle school girls? After that, Xia was targeted by those girls almost every day. Fortunately, she graduated from middle school a few days ago, and she no longer has to face those people, otherwise she would be annoyed to death.

But after thinking about it, Kasumi realized that she had also schemed against Ayane, and her anger subsided.

“Ayane, those otaku in the class always hang around you because I secretly told them that you also like the anime they watch.”

Kasumi whispered to Ayane.

"you……"

Ayane's eyelids twitched.

She said that a few days ago, those sly students in her class suddenly asked her whether she liked Rei Ayanami or Asuka Langley Soryu, and kept recommending anime to her, and even said that "it's cute that the seemingly strict disciplinary committee member likes lewd things in private"...

If it weren't for the fact that as a member of the disciplinary committee, she couldn't be violent with those students for nothing, she would really want to beat up those guys who couldn't listen to others!

Ayane paused for a moment, then said, "Those stray cats you used to feed at school, I asked the teachers to chase them away."

Xia's cheek twitched, then she said, "You... I added the wasabi to your bento box before!"

"Hiss... I knew Risha wouldn't make such a basic mistake!"

Recalling the tingling sensation of swallowing a mouthful of wasabi, Ayane couldn't help but gasp, then gritted her teeth and said, "Last time during the math exam, it was I who reminded the math teacher that the test papers had been stolen, and that's why he changed the papers."

"You did this too? Ayane, you're so cunning!"

"You're the one who never says anything to my face, but always tries to trip me up from behind!"

Seeing the two sisters start bickering again, Angel shrugged and said, "Sisters are such strange things. Luckily, I don't have any."

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

Although the process was a bit tortuous, Ayane and Kasumi finally recognized each other, but their relationship didn't seem to have improved.

But it's alright, Li Xin believes that time will improve their relationship... right?

Seeing Ayane and Kasumi fighting like it was their life or death in the match, Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The battle between the two sisters ended with Kasumi's victory, but it was only a Pyrrhic one. In the next round, Kasumi was defeated by Helena, who had won easily all the way.

In terms of true strength, Helena is naturally far inferior to Kasumi, but Kasumi was almost exhausted after fighting Ayane, while Helena's previous opponents were either weak or had a very difficult time fighting other opponents in previous matches and were not in good condition, so she had not expended much energy.

Why is this happening? It's so hard to guess!

In short, a fully refreshed Helena defeated an exhausted Kasumi and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. She was then defeated by another female ninja, Mai Shiranui, the captain of the "Women's Fighters Team".

There's no way Helena can continue; all the teams capable of making it to the quarterfinals are tough opponents.

After defeating Helena, Mai Shiranui successfully advanced to the semifinals, where she faced her final opponent, Gen Fuku.

Yuanfu may look like an ordinary old man, but he is quite strong. Although his body is not as good as before due to his age, his profound internal strength and rich experience are beyond the reach of the younger generation.

Mai Shiranui was no match for Genpuku, but she pulled a little trick during the battle—using the "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu" to unleash flames.

Unlike the special flames of Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, the flames generated by ordinary tools could not burn Genboku, but they were enough to melt the ice beneath his feet.

After the ice melted, it became even more slippery. Yuanfu was getting old and his reactions weren't as agile as those of the younger people. He slipped, lost his balance, and was then quickly knocked off the designated match area by Mai Shiranui, losing the match.

However, Yuanfu was not too upset about it.

The DOA tournament doesn't only award prizes to the champion; anyone who enters the official tournament receives 500,000 francs, and the prize money doubles with each subsequent win. Although he only made it to the semi-finals, the prize money he received was enough for his granddaughter's surgery, so he had no regrets.

After the referee announced the victory, Mai Shiranui immediately ran down to help Genpuku up and apologized to him in Chinese: "Sir, I'm sorry, are you alright?"

Yuanfu wasn't a petty person, and since Mai Shiranui's attitude in admitting her mistake was so good, he couldn't be angry at all. He smiled and gave Mai Shiranui a thumbs up: "Little girl, you're very clever and quick-witted, not bad! And your Chinese is quite good!"

Mai Shiranui chuckled and said, "It's because you're so powerful, sir. I can't beat you without using some tricks."

With the end of the match between Mai Shiranui and Genpuku, the DOA Fighting Tournament has come to a close.

What? You're saying this is only the semi-finals, and there's a final to play?

Haha, who wants to fight that monster!

In the other semi-final, King didn't even play and forfeited, as did Li Xin's other opponents.

Even those who are stubborn enough to want to fight Li Xin would lose all courage if they just looked down at the Icelandic island beneath their feet.

In conclusion, the first "DOA" fighting tournament came to a successful end after the match between Mai Shiranui and Genpuku.

Yes, the first one.

Phim Douglas expressed his deep regret for the many complications that had arisen in the tournament, and announced that a second tournament would be held soon, which he believed would be much better and more organized.

As for when it will be held, that depends on when Fim is available.

The destruction of the USS Freedom Survivor, the impact of Donovan's death, and the drop in DOATEC's stock price after such a horrific event...

Fim has too many things to deal with, and he doesn't have the energy to organize such a fighting tournament anytime soon.

After Ayane and Kasumi recognized each other, it's time for another pair of sisters to recognize each other as well.

The cruise ship returned to port, and the many fighters who had been battling all day arrived back in Paris late at night.

This time, instead of taking Li Xin and the others to the castle in the suburbs, Fim took them to his mansion in the city.

"Yay! I don't have to live in a room without even a bathroom anymore!"

Angel said happily, and then Li Xin gently tapped her on the head.

Fim smiled and said to Angel, "That castle is indeed not very suitable for living. I only use it when I hold banquets, as it's quite grand. But tonight, I guarantee you'll have a very comfortable stay."

After leading everyone to the mansion, Fim left Helena to entertain Li Xin and the others before departing—a lot had happened that day, and his lovers had been frightened; he needed to comfort them.

Yes, people with many lovers are always so busy.

As soon as Fim left, a beautiful figure rushed over: "Lord Ashin!"

Xin carefully examined Li Xin's body and, finding no injuries, breathed a sigh of relief. She then asked, "Lord Xin, how is my mother?"

Like Fim's other lovers, his "heart" was also moved to this mansion for easier protection.

She waited all day and worried all day, worried about both Li Xin and Miyako.

Now that Li Xin is safe and sound, she naturally wants to care about Miyako.

"Uh……"

Upon hearing the mention of Miyako, Li Xin paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, 'Xin,' your mother has passed away."

"What……"

My heart was struck by lightning.

Even though "Xin" already knew that Miyako was just using her as a tool and had been exploiting her all along, she was still her mother, who was connected to her by blood, and the closest person to her in this world!

She always fantasized that one day, Miyako would suddenly realize her mistake, give up those useless powers, and then she could reunite with her family and enjoy a happy family life. But now...

"How did my mother die?"

"Heart" grabbed Li Xin's collar and asked.

"Your mother was killed by Donovan during her escape."

Li Xin told her the truth, since there was nothing to hide. He had done his best to protect her, but fate had decreed her death, and there was nothing he could do.

Such a ridiculous way of dying made "Xin" feel even more sorry for her mother.

Yes, to negotiate with a tiger for its skin means to be prepared to be hurt. Miyako's fate was certainly well-deserved; it's no exaggeration to say she deserved to die.

Seeing Heart sad and upset, Helena, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see such a thing happen, so she stepped forward and said, "Heart, don't be sad. Your mother certainly wouldn't want to see you so upset."

She didn't know that "Heart" was her sister, but she vaguely knew that "Heart" was the daughter of an important figure on Donovan's side and had escaped for some reason.

Although, strictly speaking, "Heart" is an enemy, the vague sense of closeness still makes Helena want to care for "Heart".

Faced with Helena's comforting words, "Heart's" grief suddenly burst forth like a flood, and she hugged Helena, saying, "Sister!"

Helena was stunned when "Heart" called her "sister," but she didn't think much of it and assumed that "Heart" had just misspoke in her excitement. She gently stroked "Heart's" back and said to her, "Cry. After you cry, everything will be alright."

The "heart" cried out for Helena, and Helena gently comforted it; everything seemed exceptionally harmonious.

At this moment, Fim and Maria came over. Seeing this scene, they were stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "'Heart,' you and your sister have told us everything?"

"what?"

Helena stopped stroking the back of the "heart" and looked at Fim with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Helena's expression, Fim immediately realized he had misspoke and coughed, trying to smooth things over.

He underestimated his daughter; almost instantly, Helena understood the identity of "Heart".

"Dad, is 'Heart' my sister?"

Helena questioned him, and this was the first time Li Xin had ever seen Helena with such a serious expression.

"Uh, that..."

Fim hesitated, then Maria shook her head, walked up to Helena, and said, "That's right, 'Heart' is indeed your sister. You two played together when you were very young."
