The next day.

When Lin Xiao came as agreed and saw the desk full of documents when he was brought into the meeting room, he was shocked.

Claire might not be that smart, but she was first-rate at executing. In just one night she was able to prepare all the information.

“Why is there so much?”

“You wanted me to collect all of it, so I did my best to get them all brought over.”

“Okay, you did good, but the problem is… how are we going to read all these documents?”

“What? … Are you saying that we have to read all of these?”

“No shit! Why else would I have you bring these here, to eat them?”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier! … What should we do now? Where would we get the time to finish?”

She just thought that Lin Xiao was telling her to prepare the stuff, but didn’t know they had to carefully read over these documents… the meeting was tomorrow and they were making a hasty last-minute effort, there was no time to waste.

“Sigh, let me see what these are first… ‘The 7th Army Idol Selection Program’, ‘Lunch Menu List’, what is all this crap? It’s all useless!”

At first, Lin Xiao was annoyed and casually looked at some before tossing them aside, but as he looked around, he got more into it.

“Wait, ‘Roster of Outstanding Female Soldiers (Internal information)’, with pictures as well? Private photos please do not distribute, cough, this is interesting! I have to investigate this… hm? This is even better! ‘Maid’s Guide to Militarization for Beginners’, so there are even intermediate and advanced levels? I probably have to use advanced for Elena! Hehe, let me look for it…”

As if he found a treasure trove of books, Lin Xiao looked around nonstop and carried several rosters with private pictures.

“Hm? What’s this? ‘Claire George’s childhood photo collection’ … Claire George, what a familiar sounding name, who is it? Let me see… woah! What a cute little girl… no, no! Claire George, isn’t that the tomboy’s name? I thought she would look like a boy back then, who could have thought she would be a cute loli, my god… woah! This picture is also beautiful, blonde hair and blue eyes, how cute! T-this is illegal, right! … Damn, she was so cute, how did she become so violent?”

“Hey, Lin Xiao, what are you looking at?”

Claire walked over with curiosity when she heard him mumbling and also wanted to take a look.

“Uh… it’s nothing, just a photo album.” Lin Xiao jumped and quickly hid it behind him.

“If it’s just a photo album, why are you hiding it… whose is it?”

“Hehe, it’s not yours, so don’t worry.”

“Hm? I never said it was mine, why did you mention it?”

“Uh… it’s really not yours! How could such a cute loli be you?”

“Damn, I think I accidentally mixed the photo album my father made for me in there… Lin Xiao, give it to me!”

“No.”

“Hah? It seems like that’s what it was… s-stop looking, give it to me!”

Claire blushed and already guessed it so she quickly tried to snatch it back, but Lin Xiao easily avoided her, then ran around to the other side of the large table.

“No, no, I can’t give it to you.”

Lin Xiao got more excited when he saw her embarrassed demeanor and wouldn’t give it to her no matter what. He continued running around the table to avoid her then flipped to a certain page and pointed to a picture of a little girl in a swimming suit and pretended to be surprised while asking.

“Hey Claire, this little girl is so cute, do you know who she is?”

“I don’t know, give it to me!”

“No! … Tell me who she is and I’ll give it to you.”

“Okay, then I’ll tell you!”

Claire blushed and picked up a book while throwing it at him, but he ended up dodging it.

“She’s your mom! Bastard, do you understand? If you understand, hurry up and hand it over!”

“Tsk, tsk, what kind of princess has such a dirty mouth, and you still won’t admit you’re a tomboy?”

“That’s mine, you can’t look!”

“What do you mean it’s yours? Could this little girl be you?”

“No! I…”

“If not, then who cares if I take a look?” As he said that, Lin Xiao flipped another page and pointed at it.

“Wow, why is this girl crying on the ground? Was she bullied? How embarrassing… Claire, is she a crybaby?”

“I already said she’s your mom!”

Claire was angry and cussed again then tried picking up speed to pin him down, but Lin Xiao and very quickly and began running laps around the table until they were both panting.

At that time, Lin Xiao was suddenly tripped by something and he lost balance and fell forward. The album in his hand flew up and gently landed in someone’s small hand.

“Bastard, just watch as I… eh?”

Claire snorted when he tripped as she clenched her fists and planned to give him a beating, just as she raised her fist a slender finger pressed up against her forehead and stopped her.

“… Weren’t you two searching for information? What is this?”

When Claire raised her head, a charming older sister with black hair and eyes and long slender legs appeared in her vision.

“Sister Ying? And Elena? W-why are you here!?”

As Lin Xiao was about to get up, he saw two people he was familiar with.

“Hehe, why can’t we come? If I came a bit later, you would have been skinned alive, right?”

“ShenDai Ying told me to come and monitor… oh no, serve you.”

“Hey! You just said monitor, right!”

“No… master, please do your best.”
