Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"Ah-Xin, you've come..."

After changing her clothes, "Mai Shiranui" showed a helpless expression when she saw Li Xin. She had originally planned to enjoy a warm and romantic date with Li Xin, but unexpectedly, this happened, and it seems that the date is ruined.

"Xiao Lei, why didn't you tell me about this?!"

Li Xin said somewhat reproachfully that if "Shiranui Mai" had told him beforehand, that misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.

Mai Shiranui sighed, "I just didn't have time..."

She glanced at "Rai-sei," whose face was still flushed. Although "Rai-sei" only said that she met Li Xin outside the coffee shop and then didn't say anything else, "Shiranui Mai" was shrewd and knew Li Xin well enough to guess that something must have happened between "Rai-sei" and Li Xin.

Li Xin knew this wasn't the time to talk about that, so he quickly asked "Shiranui Mai," "Who owns that telescope? Let me see what she looks like so I can help you find her."

"Mai Shiranui" handed the printed surveillance image to Li Xin: "That's her."

Li Xin took the photo and looked at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."

"Mai Shiranui" quickly asked, "Oshin, do you know her?"

"Ah."

Li Xin nodded and revealed the blonde girl's identity: "Levinia Baldwin, the leader of the British magical society 'Dawn of Light' and a transcendent mage."

"Revinia Bardwell? Is that the extraordinary mage who attacked us in Athens? What's she doing in Tokyo?"

Upon hearing the name Levinia, Mai Shiranui also recalled the extraordinary mage who was at odds with Kanzaki Kaori.

She hadn't met Levinia in person during her last trip to Athens, so she didn't recognize her from the surveillance footage, but she heard about her from Li Xin afterward.

"An extraordinary mage? Such a tiny little thing?"

"Lai Sheng Lei" exclaimed in surprise. Although she had never seen the blonde girl in the video directly, judging from the objects around the video, the girl's height couldn't possibly exceed 1.4 meters, and she looked to be only ten years old. How could she be an extraordinary powerhouse like Li Xin? This was too much!

(Levinia's veins bulge: You're only ten or so, I'm twelve!)

"Don't judge a book by its cover, especially in the magic world. Judging a magician's strength by their appearance will lead to a big mistake."

Li Xin said to "Tears of the Next Life".

Unlike martial artists, who, no matter how talented, need to cultivate gradually and cannot achieve success overnight, magicians have many ways to reach the pinnacle of power in one step. Like "saints," they can gain extraordinary power even without cultivation, simply through their physical constitution.

Some ancient magic families can also grant people the same power as extraordinary experts in a short period of time through their inherited magical artifacts.

Of course, these quickly-made extraordinary powerhouses all have more or less problems. They are extreme cases with extremely strong strengths and extremely weak weaknesses, and cannot be compared with those extraordinary powerhouses who steadily and surely enter the extraordinary realm through self-cultivation.

However, with such a foundation, and by investing a great deal of time and diligent practice, a master of magic can indeed become an extraordinary powerhouse much faster and more efficiently than a martial artist.

"Ah-Xin, you know so much!"

"Lai Sheng Lei" looked at Li Xin with adoring eyes.

Although her appearance is that of Rui Kisugi, her adorable expression is completely that of Mai Shiranui, which makes Li Xin feel a little strange. Of course, he is more proud than anything else. You know, Rui Kisugi would never look at him with such an expression in the past. She is usually gentle and doting.

Yes, that's how relationships between older women and younger men work out.

"Now that we know who that blonde girl is, Ashin, do you know how to find her?"

"Tears of the Next Life" quickly asked Li Xin.

"do not know."

Li Xin shrugged.

He didn't have any connections in Britain, so how could he possibly know how to contact Levinia?

"I'll go ask Miss Kanzaki. She's a 'saint' of the British Puritans and might know how to contact Miss Patricia. Even if I can't contact her directly, I should be able to contact her subordinates."

"Mai Shiranui said."

Do you have Kanzaki-san's contact information?

Li Xin exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Miss Huozhi and I exchanged contact information when we last met, and we agreed that I would visit her when I have time to go to Britain."

Mai Shiranui smiled slightly, then said to Rui Kisei, "Mai, could you please give me your cell phone?"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Raisei Rui" quickly started rummaging through her handbag, taking out her cell phone to call "Shiranui Mai".

After taking the cell phone, "Mai Shiranui" hesitated for a moment, then said to "Rui Kisugi" after some thought, "Why don't you make the call?"

Since Kanzaki Kaori isn't on the other side, explaining the body swap to her would be too troublesome. It would be better to have "Kisugi Rui" directly ask Kanzaki Kaori for Levinia's contact information.

"Ah... okay then..."

"Tears of the Next Life" nodded.

Mai Shiranui dialed the number, and Rui Kisugi took the cell phone and contacted Kaori Kanzaki. After a brief conversation, Rui Kisugi said to Mai Shiranui, "Miss Kanzaki doesn't know how to contact Dawnlight, but she promised to ask around and get back to us later."

This reply was very satisfactory to Mai Shiranui. She nodded and said, "That's all we can do for now. Let's wait for Miss Kaori's reply."

Li Xin also said, "I will also use my connections to help find Levinia."

Levinia should still be in Tokyo. Let Noah help us use his abilities to find her; perhaps we can find something that way.

"This is the only way."

"Mai Shiranui" nodded.

At this moment, "Raisheng Rui" timidly raised her hand: "Um, Miss Rui, I need to go to the restroom, is that alright?"

Mai Shiranui smiled and said, "Of course, just turn left after you leave the changing room, and the restroom is right next to the stairs."

"Thank you."

"Tears of the Next Life" said to "Mai Shiranui".

After "Riri Tear" went to the restroom, Li Xin hesitated and said to "Shiranui Mai," "Riri, Mai, go to the restroom..."

Mai Shiranui rolled her eyes with a charming expression: "What does it matter if Xiao Wu is a girl? Or is it that only you are allowed to see that part, and no one else is allowed to see it? Besides, Xiao Wu and I don't know when we will be able to turn back, so these kinds of things are always unavoidable."

"This……"

Li Xin was speechless and even somewhat embarrassed by Mai Shiranui's words.

Well, what "Mai Shiranui" said made so much sense that he didn't even have a chance to refute it.

In the second-floor restroom, "Raisai Rui" sat on the toilet, but not to relieve herself; rather...

Damn it, is this body so easily embarrassed? I just hugged and kissed Ashin, and I'm still blushing and my heart is pounding!

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

Mai Shiranui is waiting for Kanzaki Kaori's reply, while Li Xin has sent Noah to find Levinia's whereabouts. Now all they need to do is wait.

"Let's go home first."

"Shiranui Mai" said to Li Xin and "Laisheng Lei".

In this situation, it's inconvenient to do anything, so it's better to go home and wait for news.

"Yeah, it's better to go home."

"Lai Sheng Lei" nodded; she felt the same way.

"Can I come to my house?"

"Mai Shiranui" said to "Rai no Namikaze".

"Ah I?"

"Tears of the Next Life" paused for a moment.

She thought that when "Mai Shiranui" said "go home," she meant that everyone should go back to their own homes.

"Of course I'll go back to the same home. It's not convenient for me to go inside in my current state."

"Mai Shiranui" said with a wry smile.

"Rui" was somewhat puzzled, but when she arrived at the tower apartment where Rui lived and entered the tower apartment with the security guard bowing, she understood the meaning behind "Mai Shiranui's" words.

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter this apartment without the owner's accompaniment."

"Mai Shiranui" explained.

This tower apartment building was built to high-end apartment standards, and its property management and security are naturally top-notch.

"It looks so high-class!"

"Lai Sheng Lei" looked amazed, while Li Xin secretly covered his mouth and laughed.

This greatly displeased "Laisheng Lei". She put her hands on her hips, leaned forward, and said to Li Xin, "What's so funny? Can't I say I've never been to such a high-class apartment before?"

"It's nothing, I wasn't laughing at you!"

Li Xin waved his hands repeatedly. He wasn't laughing at Mai Shiranui's lack of knowledge, but rather he found it hilarious that Mai Shiranui, who was used to make tears, was making such a surprised expression.

Mai Shiranui rolled her eyes at Li Xin and pinched his waist: "Don't bully Mai."

With the double protection of his combat suit and Fire Cloud Battle Suit, Li Xin was unaffected by even the slightest force from Mai Shiranui, let alone strong pliers. However, Li Xin still cooperated by feigning unbearable pain: "Little Tears, I was wrong!"

"Lai Sheng Lei" felt a surge of satisfaction and clenched her fist at Li Xin, saying, "Let's see if you dare to bully me again next time!"

"Don't dare!"

Li Xin said repeatedly.

"Rise of Tears" was so smug that "Mai Shiranui" couldn't help but smile – it was the first time she had ever seen herself make such an expression, but she didn't find it strange at all; on the contrary, she found it quite amusing.

In that instant, she felt that what she had experienced today wasn't so bad after all.

After entering the house, "Mai Shiranui" said to "Rui Kisugi," "Please sit wherever you like. This is a three-bedroom apartment. Besides Ai's and my room, there's also my other sister, Hitomi's, room. However, Hitomi isn't here right now. If you don't mind, you can stay in Hitomi's room for now. If you don't like it..."

Mai Shiranui paused for a moment, then said to Rui Kisei, "You can also choose a room you like in this apartment complex. All the apartments here are fully furnished and ready to move in."

"Wait, Miss Xiaolei, do you mean this entire apartment is yours?"

"Tears of the Next Life" gasped.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Mai Shiranui smiled slightly and said as Laisheng Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "There is one place that is not."

"Tears of the Next Life": "..."

That means it's all yours! Xiao Ai's family is so rich!

Time flew by and evening arrived. When Lai Sheng Ai came home from school and saw Li Xin at home, she happily jumped into his arms and said, "Brother Xin, you've come to see me!"

"Cough cough!"

"Mai Shiranui" coughed and told Lai Sheng Ai to come down, saying that this was improper.

However, Mai Shiranui forgot that her current appearance posed no threat to Ai Kisei. Instead, Ai Kisei asked in surprise, "Master Mai, what are you doing here?"

Mai Shiranui shook her head, walked up to Ai Kisugi, and tapped her on the head, saying, "Get down!"

"Ah, that familiar technique, that familiar force..."

Lai Sheng Ai vaguely sensed something.

"Laisheng Lei" said with a grin to Laisheng Ai, "Did you think of something?"

"Ah, you are Xiao Wu's master!"

Lai Sheng Ai fell off Li Xin in surprise.

It can only be said that Ai Kisugi is indeed one of the people who knows Rui Kisugi and Mai Shiranui the most, and she immediately guessed that the two had switched identities.

After Ai guessed it, Mai Shiranui also told Ai about the body swap between her and Rui Kisugi.

After hearing the whole story, Lai Sheng's first reaction wasn't anxiety, but excitement: "Wow, there are such fun things! Ah Xin, let me use it once we find it, just for a moment!"

Mai Shiranui tapped Ai Kisugi's head again: "No!"

How could she not know how Ai planned to use that telescope in the afterlife? She definitely wanted to use it to swap bodies with her, and then…

Her "treacherous plot" was exposed, but she was not disappointed. However, her eyes darted around and she quickly smiled. She said to Li Xin, "Brother Xin, I have a question for you."

Li Xin asked, "What is it?"

"Tonight, will you sleep with the eldest sister who has the body of Xiao Wu's master, or with the youngest sister who has the body of Xiao Wu's master?"

Li Xin blinked, momentarily unable to process the tongue-twisting words about "love in the next life".

"Xiao Ai!"
