Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"This……"

Seeing that Li Xin was still hesitating, "Shiranui Mai" couldn't help but say, "We just slept together and didn't do anything else. But after what happened today, I... also feel very uneasy..."

Seeing Mai Shiranui's worried expression, Li Xin immediately put aside all his reservations and said to her, "Okay, I understand. Let's sleep together then."

"Thank you, Ashin!"

Mai Shiranui smiled with emotion and leaned against Li Xin's chest.

Just because I have a good temper doesn't mean I'm easy to bully!

Chapter 727 Angel's Connections

The next morning, "Laisheng Lei" got out of bed feeling refreshed.

It's no wonder it's a rich person's bedding; it's like sleeping on a cloud, incredibly comfortable. The fabric of the pajamas is also impeccable—not only smooth but also incredibly light. When "Rise Tears" first put it on, she thought she had nothing on her body!

I'll definitely show this off to Yuri afterwards!

"Tears for the next life" he thought to himself.

After leaving her room, "Laisheng Lei" prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. After all, she couldn't just eat and drink for free at someone else's house; she had to do something within her ability to repay them.

As soon as "Raishou Rui" stepped out, she saw "Shiranui Mai" lazily walk out of the room. The two smiled at each other and said good morning.

But soon, the smile on "Raisheng Rui's" face disappeared, because behind "Shiranui Mai", Li Xin also walked out of the room, and what was even more noteworthy was the very strong romantic atmosphere that emerged between the two.

"Laisheng Lei" twitched her eye and said casually, "Miss Lei, why did Axin come out of your room? Did he come to wake you up?"

"of course not."

Mai Shiranui remained calm: "I just couldn't bear to see Shin sleeping alone in the living room, so I asked him to sleep in the room. Don't worry, we're just sleeping in the same bed. I absolutely didn't do anything to offend your body."

"What, what did you say..."

"Tears of the Next Life" suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

She flirted with Li Xin before because she was using Rui Kisaki's body. Since Rui and Li Xin were already in a romantic relationship, Mai Shiranui felt it was okay to do so. However, the fact that her body was sleeping with Li Xin...

Despite her revealing martial arts uniform and the fact that she dares to use any move during fighting tournaments without any regard for "respect between men and women," Mai Shiranui is, in essence, a very traditional woman.

She wears revealing martial arts uniforms because they are the traditional uniforms of the "Shiranui-ryu" school. Close combat with men is a way for martial arts practitioners to be uninhibited, but in ordinary times, Mai Shiranui pays great attention to physical contact with men.

For her, the only man she could sleep with was her future husband. But now, Lai Sheng Lei is sleeping with Li Xin with her body. Even if Lai Sheng Lei says that Li Xin did not violate her body, it is still unacceptable!

Oh no, I'm doomed! I'll never get married!

"Laisheng Lei" was on the verge of tears. She only wanted to tease Li Xin and "Shiranui Mai", but who would have thought that she would lose herself in the process!

Mai Shiranui was unaware of the profound impact her words had on Rui Kisei, as she was unaware that the seemingly open-minded Mai Shiranui was, at heart, a very traditional woman.

"Xiao Wu, I'm going to make breakfast. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Mai Shiranui asked Rui Kisugi, but Rui Kisugi was completely disoriented by the fact that she and Shin were sleeping in the same bed, and did not listen to Mai Shiranui's words at all.

Li Xin scratched his cheek and said to "Mai Shiranui", "Little Tears, haven't we gone too far?"

"But Xiao Wu herself gave permission!"

"Mai Shiranui" replied that she wouldn't have done this if it weren't for "Rui Shiranui's" comments yesterday. However, she didn't expect that the seemingly passionate and unrestrained Mai Shiranui was actually highly defensive. Even if nothing happened, she couldn't stand just sleeping in the same bed with a boy.

Ignoring the distraught "Rise of the Ninja," Mai Shiranui put on her apron and began preparing breakfast.

Li Xin wanted to comfort "Laisheng Lei", but he didn't know how to start. He could only say to "Laisheng Lei", "Xiao Wu, remember to come for breakfast later!"

After saying that, he tried to run away, but "Laisheng Lei" grabbed his arm.

Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Li Xin with a wronged expression: "Ah Xin, what do you suggest we do..."

"Oh no, what do we do?"

Li Xin blinked.

"You slept with me and now you want to deny it?!"

"Lai Sheng Lei" looked at Li Xin with a resentful gaze.

Li Xin was taken aback.

Honestly, last night Li Xin and "Mai Shiranui" were just sleeping in bed. Nothing else happened. At most, Li Xin lent "Mai Shiranui" his arm as a pillow.

There was no way around it; Mai Shiranui was a terrible sleeper. She'd drifted off to sleep and snuggled up to him, and he couldn't very well push her away…

Uh, is bad sleeping posture a form of bodily memory? He remembers that Rui Kisugi herself was a very peaceful sleeper.

Never mind, that's not important. What's important is that he really didn't do anything indecent to Mai Shiranui's body!

"What? Who slept with whom and is now denying it?"

Lai Sheng Ai burst out of the room, and Lai Sheng Lei blushed and ran away as if fleeing: "No! There's nothing there!"

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief at "Lai Sheng Lei's" escape, but soon he met Lai Sheng Ai's curious gaze again.

"Brother Ashin, I went out for a drink of water yesterday because I was thirsty, and I didn't see you in the living room. Whose room were you sleeping in? Was it Big Sister or Master Xiao Wu?"

In his next life, he will love narrow passages, and then Li Xin will chop him on the head with a hand chop.

"What are you saying! Go wash up and eat breakfast. You need to study hard at school. You're already in your senior year and you're still so careless. If you don't get into university, I'll see how you cry!"

Li Xin, displaying the authority of an elder, gave Lai Sheng'ai a severe scolding—"I can't handle those two, but I can handle you!"

Lai Sheng Ai's lips curled into a smirk, and she almost lost her temper: "Brother A-Xin, you're bullying me! I'm going to tell Big Sister!"

After washing up, Li Xin went to the restaurant. Lai Sheng Ai was pouting and sulking. Clearly, his attempt to complain had failed.

"I'm stuffed!"

Lai Sheng Ai hastily finished her breakfast and then left this unfriendly home, making a face at Li Xin before leaving.

"Walk slowly and be careful on the road!"

"Mai Shiranui" reminded her, although she also knew that these words would mostly go in one ear and out the other for Lai Sheng Ai.

After breakfast, Mai Shiranui cleared the dishes to wash, leaving Li Xin and Rui Kisei alone in the restaurant.

Li Xin was at a loss. He stood up and said, "Um, I'll go help Xiao Lei wash the dishes..."

After a while, "Laisheng Lei" had calmed down and stood up, saying, "Kitchen matters are for us women. You, as a man, should just sit aside."

Then he went to the kitchen, leaving Li Xin alone in the dining room.

I hope nothing bad will happen...

Li Xin was somewhat worried and wanted to go over, but "Shiranui Mai" and "Kiwai Rui" said at the same time, "Xin, don't come in!"

Well, Li Xin had no choice but to go to the balcony alone to get some fresh air, and then he heard a beautiful song.

Li Xin looked down and saw that it was Helena singing on the balcony downstairs.

Helena sang with abandon. Every morning, she would sing on the balcony. Thanks to the fact that Rui Kisei had bought all the apartments in this tower, there was only one neighbor nearby, and the apartments were well soundproofed, so Helena didn't have to worry about her singing causing complaints.

Practicing singing every morning was a habit Helena had developed long ago, and after coming to a foreign country, this habit became even more indispensable, because only when singing could she briefly forget her worries.

After her heart-to-heart talk with "Heart," Helena's troubles not only didn't disappear, but actually increased.

Helena was thoroughly annoyed by all the nonsense about "sisters united, their strength can break gold" and "seizing Ah Xin and keeping the other bitches out."

"Clap clap clap!"

As applause erupted, Helena looked up and saw Li Xin clapping at her from the balcony upstairs.

"Helena, you sing so beautifully!"

Li Xin praised without reservation.

Here it is, the source of all this trouble!

Helena thought to herself, then said to Li Xin, "Xin, you spent the night at Miss Laisheng's house again last night!"

"Ah ha ha……"

Li Xin gave an awkward smile: "Well, there's a special reason!"

I don't believe you! You big pervert, Ashin, just like your dad!

Helena glared at Li Xin, then went back into the house and left.

Li Xin was completely bewildered. How had he offended Helena? Helena used to be such a well-mannered lady, how could she have become like this?

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it. After all, women have those few unreasonable days every month.

Li Xin returned to the house. At this time, "Shiranui Mai" and "Kiwai Rui" had finished washing the dishes and were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Yes, one dish for each of them.

Sensing an eerie atmosphere, Li Xin turned back to the balcony. Even if Helena disliked him, it felt better than being here.

However, someone didn't want Li Xin to have his way. "Shiranui Mai" patted the spot next to her and said with a smile, "Xin, what are you doing on the balcony? Come sit here!"

"Ah-Xin, you're Miss Xiao-Lei's boyfriend, you can't cheat on her. Come, sit here."

"Lai Sheng Lei" patted the spot next to her.

Li Xin: "..."

Why did I come back from the balcony? What was I doing?

Seeing the intense tension between "Mai Shiranui" and "Raisai Namiya," Li Xin thought for a moment and suddenly used a move from "Boundless Divine Palm" that he hadn't used in a long time: "Earth Spin and Heaven Twist."

With a gentle force, Li Xin swept up Mai Shiranui and Rui Kisei, making them spin 360 degrees in the air before sitting on either side of the same sofa. Li Xin then swiftly sat down in the very center of the three-seater sofa.

perfect!

Just as Li Xin was feeling smug, "Shiranui Mai" and "Kiwai Namikaze" leaned their elbows against him.

"Ah-Xin, you've become cunning!"

"You think you're very smart, right?"

Li Xin took two blows to the chest and immediately showed a pained expression. "Shiranui Mai" and "Kiwai Rui" glanced at each other and suddenly laughed, and the tense atmosphere dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin felt relieved—he had done it on purpose; he would rather the two of them turn their anger on him than see them arguing with each other.

Mai Shiranui rolled her eyes at Li Xin and said, "You got off easy!"

"Tears of the Next Life" also said, "At other times, I wouldn't let you be so smug!"

Now that Rui and Mai have swapped bodies, they are intertwined, and many things are indistinguishable. So even if Li Xin does this, they can't find much fault with him. If they had to point it out, it would seem that they are petty and not generous enough.

The three of them were in the house together. Although the space wasn't large, they didn't feel bored. However, being in such close proximity still led to many unexpected incidents.

Hmm, what a wonderful surprise.

As evening approached, Mai Shiranui finally said, "Shin, let's think of a way to end this situation as soon as possible."

She originally thought that it wouldn't matter if this state continued for a while, but today's interaction made her realize that if this mismatched state between her and "Laisheng Lei" continued, something bad would happen sooner or later. As for what kind of thing would happen, well, I won't say.

Of course, Mai Shiranui doesn't think that "something can't happen," but even if something does happen, it has to be after the two of them have regained their bodies and clearly separated their feelings. Only then can everyone accept "something happening." Also, Risha needs to be informed as well.

When Mai Shiranui spoke up, Li Xin naturally agreed. He said, "I'll go find someone to inquire and see if there are any other ways to break this situation."

Although the magic system, spiritual cultivation system, and Taoist system are not the same, there should be commonalities among the three, and perhaps they know the way to break the body swapping problem.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ashin."

Mai Shiranui nodded.

After leaving the tower apartment, Li Xin's first stop was back at the agency to ask Mo Lixia about the body swap.

"Body swap? So Ashin, that's why you didn't come back yesterday?"

Mao Lixia suddenly realized why Li Xin said he had to go out for a few days yesterday; it turned out that Lai Sheng Lei had encountered this kind of thing.

However, even Mo Lixia was helpless when it came to matters of the soul. She told Li Xin, "Ah Xin, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this regard."

"Although the 'Mysterious Heart Orthodox Sect' also has a method for astral projection, this is different from body swapping. Moreover, it requires the person astraling to have a very deep spiritual cultivation, otherwise there will be great risks, and it cannot be used to swap the bodies of Sister Xiaolei and Miss Xiaowu."

"Perhaps you could ask Miss Chizuru. She is an extraordinary expert in spiritual cultivation, far superior to me, a half-baked cultivator. She might have a solution."

Although Mao Lixia did not offer a solution to the problem, she pointed Li Xin to another path.

Li Xin thought the same way, but because he was closer to Mori, if Mori could solve the problem of the body swap between Kisugi Rui and Shiranui Mai, then there would be no need to bother Kagura Chizuru.

Just as Li Xin was about to go find Kagura Chizuru, he suddenly saw Angel and the others returning from school.

Upon seeing Li Xin, Angel immediately exclaimed happily, "Uncle, you're back after you've finished your business!"

Li Xin shook his head casually: "No, I'm busy right now."
