The landlady smiled meaningfully at Qin Guan. As he looked at the delicious food in front of him though, he had no time to explain any further.

　　Eating silently was traditional Chinese table manners. It was impolite to make indelicate sounds. In Japan though, if one sucked their noodles silently, it was an insult to the cook.

　　Qin Guan took that rule very seriously, so he buried his face in his bowl. In a few minutes, he had finished all his noodles and soup.

　　The sweet wheat noodles, light soup and thick pork slices had all been perfect. Both his stomach and heart had warmed up.

　　The graceful girl was shocked by his behavior. Her face looked cute and lively. Qin Guan held up his bowl and let out a long breath of satisfaction. "Thank you for your hospitality. I’m full," he told the owner. When in Rome… [1]

Both the owner and the other customers smiled. It was a small pleasure to enjoy warm ramen in a small, warm restaurant.

　　"Can I have the check, please?"

　　When all the bowls were empty, Qin Guan took out his wallet.

　　"5,050 yen in total. Thank you!"

　　…..

　　Qin Guan stared at the smiling owner and explored his pocket. He had 5,000 yen, no more or less.

　　Qin Guan blinked at her. The two of them went around the corner and whispered to each other.

　　"Can I have a discount? Just round down the total."

　　"Our business is small, and the prices are reasonable."

　　"I’m the latest Asian Fashion Man. I can take a photo with you. In one week, news about me will be on every magazine."

　　Such a shameless guy!

　　"Deal! Darling, get the camera!"

　　"Okay!"

　　The owner did as soon as possible.

　　"Look at me! Three, two, one… Cheese!"

　　Qin Guan hugged the woman and smiled.

　　"Me, too! Me, too!" The spicy girls had spotted them.

　　"Together!"

　　They stood by the entrance as a frequent patron took their picture. Suddenly, Yamaguchi Tsutomu took Qin Guan's arm, while the owner embraced Qin Guan from the other side.

　　It was the Ice-Flame Island come to life [2].

　　When Sister Xue arrived at their meeting place, Qin Guan was eating small octopus balls bought by the girls. Even strangers could sense his thirst for food.

　　They talked with each other happily, and Sister Xue discussed Qin Guan's work in Japan with the president. Yamaguchi Tsutomu listened to her with a serious expression. It would be helpful to work with her in the future.

　　They said farewell reluctantly. Only when Qin Guan disappeared at the end of the street did Yamaguchi Tsutomu turn her gaze away. She got in a black car not far away.

　　Sister Xue was quite curious about the girl.

　　"She seemed delicate, but no one ignored her. There is something special about her."

　　"Yes. Nowadays, it's rare to see people in formal Japanese kimonos except during festivals or ceremonies. Oh, I remember! Her bodyguards were wearing the same brooch. It looked like a water chestnut. She must be from some big ancient family."

　　"Judging by her family name, she could be from Yamaguchi-gumi [3]," Sister Xue joked.

　　"Ha ha! Impossible! She looks like a royal lady not good at expressing feelings. She has nothing to do with gangsters."

　　"That sounds reasonable. I’m thinking too much."

　　They returned to their rooms, and Qin Guan took a nap. After going through a long Japanese-style corridor, Yamaguchi Tsutomu also returned to her room.

　　A strong man kneeled on the floor respectfully and pulled the sliding door open for her.

　　The black kimono fell down to the tatami to expose her fair back. She had a large tattoo of albizia flowers. A fierce black dragon stretched from above the flowers until her bottom. She looked gorgeous in a strange, enchanting way.

　　She put on a white kimono with the pattern of a dragon. As she pulled the sliding door open, she changed into another person. She was no longer the cold doll she was before, but a powerful leader.

　　"Follow me."

　　"Yes!" Her strong followers kowtowed before her. Fierce tattoos were visible under their collars as they lowered their heads.

　　Qin Guan and Sister Xue’s instincts always came true, especially the bad ones.

　　The two seers were sitting in the Citizen meeting room. Zhuchuanlongfu and the other directors were sitting across from them.

　　They were having a heated discussion about the expiring contract. Qin Guan would be leaving China soon, so it was difficult for them to renew it.

　　Sister Xue was bargaining with them cleverly. As an agent, she had to get a general idea of Citizen's policies and development trends.
