Chapter 16: Conversation

"Is this the place where your evil capitalist consortium meets?" Natsumi leaned against the door frame on the side, pulled the secret door with her hand, and stared at Sakura's figure

"This is the place where the meeting takes place, but whether the Snake Eight Family is a capitalist consortium or not should not be judged by me," Sakura walked over to the sandalwood table in the middle of the room and slowly knelt down

"Oh, so this place is your den where you control the underworld and do illegal things, right?"

"The underworld does not necessarily violate the law and commit crimes, and there must be corresponding rules in any field, so that there will be no chaos"

"So the Snake Eight Family is the rule, right" Natsumi touched his chin

On the table was a charcoal stove, on which sat a Kansai iron kettle, the iron kettle was dark and heavy, the upper half of which had countless blunt thorns like durian, and the lower half was carved with a red-faced, long-nosed crow tengu, spreading its wings and flying in the flames of flowing clouds. The charcoal fire burned the bottom of the pot red, and the face and wings of the Raven Tengu glowed with glowing fire

The water is about to boil

The breeze blows, the water in the pot gurgles, and from such a high point you can directly see the sea of Tokyo Bay, and the white sails are patches in the sun

"Can we continue with the conversation now?" Sakura said, "There's nothing to entertain, so let's use the Japanese tea ceremony."

"Are you Japanese?" Sakura asked

"No" Natsumi walked over, stood at the table and paused, glanced at the lady's leather shoes on his feet, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down cross-legged opposite Sakura

Sakura's pupils are a little blue, the bridge of her nose is relatively high, her facial lines are cool and soft, and her pure white blouse is tied to her waist with a dark blue robe that looks heroic, and her every move is as sharp as a sword

"You should want to ask where that one is, right?" Xia Mi frowned, "Ask directly if you want to ask, there's no need to test me"

Sakura was noncommittal, her hands didn't stop, her eyes stayed on Xia Mi for a while and then she concentrated on dealing with the things in her hands, "Then you speak Japanese very well"

"Thank you for the compliment" Natsumi's mouth turned up, thinking to herself, "I've been here for so long, how can I learn anything about Japanese"

When the water boiled, Yabuki Sakura lifted the iron kettle, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and then poured the water out

This is a standard Japanese tea ceremony, where the first hot water is just used to heat the bowl, then he uses a wooden teaspoon to pick out two spoonfuls of tea powder and put them into the bowl, then takes a large spoonful of hot water from the iron kettle and pours it into the bowl, stirring gently with a whisk

Sakura pulled out the golden silk yarn around her waist and padded it to the tea bowl, gently rotated it in her hand, and turned the side with the bamboo finch pattern towards Natsumi, and handed it over

Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "There's no need to engage in those heavy etiquette, I'm not here to drink tea, and you don't just want to show me your skill in the tea ceremony."

"Everyone who comes to this house has to be entertained with a tea ceremony, but I didn't think you actually knew the Japanese tea ceremony," Sakura smiled and nodded, and then put on a straight face

"How is he now?"

Natsumi glanced up at Sakura, the girl who exuded a strong momentum in her gestures, and now looked at her with an eager expression

Xia Mi took a sip of tea, "It's still alive, but in another form, it's not convenient to tell you now"

"Another form?" Sakura frowned, opened her mouth and was about to say something when Natsumi interrupted her

"Don't guess, it's not Deadpool, it's not anything, don't think about it"

"Yes," Sakura said softly, visibly relieved

"I answered you a question, and you should answer me a question too," Natsumi placed the teacup in her hand on the table

"What's wrong with Iko Kamihisa?"

"What do you mean by what's wrong?" Sakura's complexion does not change

"That's what you said about leaving the center of power" Xia Mi silently clenched his fists, and only after half a sound did he ease down

"What do you say" Sakura sighed, "Sister Iko didn't know what order she received, and after he disappeared, she forcibly terminated all activities, and the only thing that continued to run was the custom shop, but the income from the custom industry had to be used to feed everyone, and it was okay for a short time, but something went wrong after a long time."

Xia Mi's heart tightened, but she still listened to Sakura silently

"These people are all moving towards interests, and there are very few who are really willing to follow Sister Yiko" Sakura sneered, and her eyes suddenly became cold-blooded

"After these losers tasted this benefit, they began to deliberately seize power"

"Seize power?" Xia Mi sneered, and silently made a note in her heart

"I won't talk about the process, the ending is that Sister Yizi silently left that position and returned to the place where she thought it was originally and began to live an ordinary life"

"Where did it start?" Xia Mi was stunned, "So what's going on now?" ”

"That's it" Sakura frowned, "I like to bargain for a little cheap, the unscrupulous kind, and I can't make any waves."

"Oh?" Natsumi was a little surprised, but when she thought of Sakura's identity, she silently lit a wax for those people

Probably they didn't expect that such a cold-blooded and sloppy Lori would be taken by the young master of the Yuan family, and then take power as an assistant

And this Lori actually has a lot to do with the smoke and Jiu Yizi who they are planning to drive down·····

It's embarrassing for the thief

Wow, in other words, she estimated that her heart was half cold

Is it so social?

Is there any such operation?

This group of people is expected to complain wildly: This shit is the young master of the source family, why do they actually like Lori!! And it's the kind that doesn't have a mouth!!

Oh no! This is to destroy my Great Qin······ Uh, ahem

Unconsciously, Xia Mi's face showed an admiring expression of "I am Sister Sakura in society, and I am beautiful and beautiful".

After speaking, Sakura inadvertently pulled her thoughts back from the place of reminiscence, and when she saw Natsumi's expression that looked mentally retarded, she was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly hesitated

Is this stupid girl really okay? Why do you look like you're mentally retarded?? Why does it look so unreliable??

What to do??

What if you suddenly want to take her off the terrace?

Then I thought that this girl had done a big thing today, and her ability to do things was good. Thinking of this, Yabuki Sakura made up his mind

So, he gave Xia Mi a caring look, and there was a faint hint of encouragement in his eyes

Xia Mi looked at Sakura in front of her with a black line, suddenly showed a caring and mentally retarded look, stretched out her fingers, stretched, and finally resisted the idea of rushing up and grabbing Yabuki Sakura's face and shouting "Lao Tzu is not a staff maker".

"What, I think, what" Natsumi gritted her teeth, thinking about how to bring up the picture she wanted Sakura to help her appear openly at the Law Enforcement Bureau

Sakura's eyes became more and more kind, and Natsumi, who was pierced by the caring gaze, couldn't help but turn her face away

What to do, is it really okay for such a stupid-looking girl to let her go on a mission alone?

Sakura thought for a moment, then made a decision, so she coughed lightly twice, "You can follow me in the future, I think since you belong to that person who sent you, then we should need more communication, so let's decide"

"Huh?" Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, secretly happy in her heart, and nodded quickly, "This will also be able to realize my plan."

"Plans? Do you have a detailed plan? Sakura asked

“······”

“······”

Sakura and Natsuya looked at each other

"Hey~" Natsumi tilted her head and stuck out her tongue

"Don't sell me cute!" Sakura looked at the girl in front of her who was trying to pass the test with a black line, and hesitated again

Is this stupid girl really okay??
