Chapter 257 Chapter 257 "Don't take us to the Sanzu River...
257
Yokohama, Vongola Base.
In the consultant's office outside the door, Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki were sitting on the sofa, drinking the top-quality black tea brewed by Bajir calmly.
At this time, Bajir was busy processing confidential documents at the table. He didn't even realize that his hair was messy and even had some stubble on his chin.
"The work of an outside consultant seems very arduous."
Li Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Bagir, who looked like he had been working overtime for a week.
Sakata Gintoki pondered for a moment, savoring the aroma of his tea. "On such a beautiful, sunny day, it's a shame to waste all my time on work," he said.
Bajir smiled bitterly, frowning slightly, and said, "Stop mocking me."
During these two days, Jinguji Mai was not in the base, and Sawada Tsunayoshi and other guardians were not there either, so Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki were very free. They came to Bajiel for tea every day and watched him work hard, which earned Bajiel's envious remarks more than once.
In this base, apart from them, there were only Bajir and some grassroots members stationed there. No one knew what these Vongola people were doing, or whether they were making preparations for the organization's banquet invitation.
The banquet was originally hosted by the Vongola, but now it is being held on the organization's base, the White Whale. I wonder what changes will happen then.
The current system's live broadcast starts after Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki finish washing up during the day and ends before going to bed at night.
The CG "Underwater Kiss" produced by the system last time sold very well, and the two people earned 25,000 gold coins.
Then, the content of the barrage started buying stocks again, which continues to this day.
[I think this so-called strategy world dungeon is clearly directed at the system trying to bring Xiao Qi and Zai Ba together.]
[Yeah, I think so too]
[But, but, I want to see a multi-arrow harem, hehehe]
[Gin... Hey, they look like pure brothers.]
【Isn’t it? Hahahaha】
【Silver Seven is a brotherly friendship (dog head)】
Li Xiaoqi let out a breath, took out a popsicle from the freezer in the office, put it in his mouth, and looked out the window with lifeless eyes.
Undeterred by Mai Jinguji's fascination, Sawada Tsunayoshi allowed the situation to unfold, beginning to act out his own agenda. Could it be that Mai Jinguji is a spy? Is this a long shot?
If Mai Jinguji is a spy, which organization is she from?
Eh...that's not right. What does this have to do with them? They just need to get the dimensional virus core from Mai Jinguji.
Um.
Li Xiaoqi thought with certainty in his heart, and made the sound of sucking on the popsicle with his mouth.
Seeing this, Sakata Gintoki put down his black tea and picked up a strawberry flavored one and put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, Bajir licked his dry mouth carelessly and coughed lightly, "Um... can you help me get one too?"
"What flavor do you want?"
"Mango, right?"
Sakata Gintoki gave a mango-flavored popsicle to Bajir. Bajir thanked him, broke the popsicle open and put it in his mouth, then slumped in his office chair.
So, Li Xiaoqi, Sakata Gintoki and Bajir returned to the sofa, biting their popsicles listlessly, with their heads leaning against the backrests and their eyes dull.
"Ah... so free."
"Ah... so busy."
The three people made different sounds.
Bajir's mouth twitched and he said, "That's enough."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a familiar voice came from the other side.
"Bajir, can I come in?"
"Can."
When Tsunayoshi Sawada opened the door, the first thing he saw was Bajir, his "fiancée", and his "fiancée's" brother sitting side by side on the sofa, sucking on popsicles.
He blinked slowly and was slightly stunned.
Li Xiaoqi straightened up and saw that he was holding a black gift box. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Sawada, let's not beat around the bush. You..."
Suddenly, Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his left hand, put his index finger to his lips, and made a gesture of silence.
Li Xiaoqi was stunned, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
"After all, you are my fiancée. It is your duty to accompany me to the banquet."
He curved his eyebrows and smiled, then casually placed the black gift box on the table.
Sakata Gintoki seemed to realize something, frowned, and said, "Mr. Sawada, what are you doing here?"
He glanced out the window and cast a look at Li Xiaoqi.
A gentle breeze blew in from the window, bringing with it a fresh floral scent.
Li Xiaoqi knew it was the scent of a woman's perfume as soon as he smelled it.
It seems that there is someone outside the window, and it is most likely Mai Jinguji.
"Of course, Xiao Wu will attend with us. We won't give up on her."
Sawada Tsunayoshi said this without any doubt, without any trace of disguise on his face.
Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, feeling the test of time and the horror of the underworld.
Such a simple and kind boy has now become sophisticated and has to package himself for the organization.
"Although I don't know how you got the Ninth Generation to issue an order to designate you as my fiancée, otherwise I, the Tenth Generation, will have to replace someone else..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi spoke in a serious tone, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Li Xiaoqi looked at him and couldn't help but sigh that if he didn't work in mafia, he could be an actor, and his appearance would be quite suitable.
Listen to the story you made up, does it make sense?
What era is this? You still have to specify marriages. It's really ridiculous.
Tsunayoshi Sawada probably watched some short plays imported from China and acted like the male lead.
"Okay, okay, got it."
Li Xiaoqi picked his nose without caring about his image, and he and Sakata Gintoki looked at him with dead eyes.
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned and left, walking towards the door.
"I bet he'd snicker."
Sakata Gintoki leaned close to Li Xiaoqi's ear and said.
Li Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I think so too."
As expected, Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulders trembled slightly when he grasped the door handle.
He took a deep breath, turned around and smiled, then closed the door.
Bajir pursed his lips, covered his stomach and tried to suppress his laughter.
The fragrance brought by the wind disappeared, Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki curled their lips and glanced out the window.
"Well, it seems he left."
Bajir suddenly spoke.
He calmed down and said, "The banquet is tonight, please be careful."
"certainly."
Li Xiaoqi responded.
*
The party will be at 8pm at the White Whale, which will take off from Yokohama Port.
Li Xiaoqi opened the gift box sent by Sawada Tsunayoshi in the dressing room. Inside was a low-key and simple black dress with a strap style and a red rose made of silk on the right breast.
Suddenly, she felt a white light appear in the corner of her eye. She turned around and saw that Sakata Gintoki had changed into the fashion given by the audience.
It was a dark red suit with a pale yellow shirt and a green tie.
“…”
Li Xiaoqi was silent.
It didn't seem out of place when I watched it in the anime, but now it looks colorful, like a peacock.
She was at a loss for words and said, "Mr. Yin, how about you change into something else?"
When saying this, Li Xiaoqi even used honorifics.
Unexpectedly, Sakata Gintoki looked in the mirror and was very satisfied, and whistled.
"No need to change. Just do it!"
Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to support his forehead, "Okay."
The next moment, white spots of light also appeared on her body, and her casual clothes suddenly turned into a blue and purple strapless irregular dress. The dark patterns on the dress seemed to flow like a galaxy under the light, like a bustling starry sky.
The long black hair was curled into waves and tied at the back of the head, with star-shaped hairpins scattered irregularly in the hair.
Li Xiaoqi stared at herself in the mirror and thought the skirt was very beautiful.
She called up the backpack interface, opened the fashion page, and saw the donor next to the label of the skirt.
[This costume was given by Nakahara Chuuya.]
"Mr. Chuuya from another world, I really like this skirt, thank you!"
Li Xiaoqi smiled and made a heart gesture towards the screen.
Suddenly, a line of red words floated across the barrage.
"Nothing. You're going to a party, so you need a dress that looks presentable."
In an instant, the barrage of comments exploded, and many people began to post comments related to the "Chuya x Xiaoqi" cp.
"Mr. Chuuya, you're such a good man!"
Li Xiaoqi gave a thumbs up and said affirmatively.
Sakata Gintoki looked at the fashion interface and said, "Mr. Chuuya, you gave me this too."
Suddenly, countless ellipsis marks floated across the barrage, followed by a series of "hahahahaha".
There was a knock on the door and a male voice sounded from outside.
"Ms. Nana, Mr. Sakata, it's time to go."
Li Xiaoqi opened the door and saw an old man in his fifties outside.
The old man wore round-framed glasses and a well-fitting butler's uniform. He placed his hands on his chest and bowed politely, without the disgusted look that characterized most people in this base.
"I am the ninth generation's personal butler, and I am here to remind the two main participants of this banquet."
"According to intelligence, the people invited by the organization include the main members of the Armed Detective Agency, the Tenth Generation of the Vongola and the Guardians, Mai Jinguji, as well as Xanxus of Varia and Sperby Squalo."
He paused and continued, "The leaders and cadres of the port mafia will also participate."
Oh my.
Is the organization's appetite so big that it wants to swallow all of this at once?
For the Armed Detective Agency, being surrounded by a bunch of mafia is like being handcuffed on a hot rack.
Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, "I understand, thank you."
The old man bowed again, said goodbye and left the villa.
Footsteps were heard in the corridor, and a slender figure gradually appeared at the corner at the end.
He was dressed in a black suit and blended into the dim area of the corridor.
His sharp gaze fell on Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki. The man suppressed his politeness, curled the corners of his lips, and stood in front of the two of them.
“ciao.”
Pure Italian came out of the man's mouth.
The man raised his head, revealing his face hidden by the brim of his hat, with his curly hair on his temples slightly raised.
"Ms. Nana, Mr. Sakata, let me take you to the banquet venue."
Li Xiaoqi faced Reborn's direct scrutiny with a calm smile.
"Thank you very much."
Sakata Gintoki leaned against the door and sensed the aura of Reborn. He couldn't help but frown and a look of vigilance flashed across his face.
"Please don't take us to the Sanzu River."
He joked.
Reborn chuckled, his voice low and charming.
"No, it's a place of extravagance and decadence."
Li Xiaoqi folded his arms and walked forward, brushing past Reborn.
"Let's go then, Mr. Reborn."
"I think someone as smart as you, like Mr. Sawada, won't be fooled by some despicable means."
She tilted her eyebrows sideways, her eyes confident.
Reborn widened his smile and gave a gentlemanly salute.
"It's an honor to meet Miss Nana."
