Infinite Travel: I know a lot of goddesses

Chapter 823! A friend of a friend is a friend

……

After taking two puffs of her cigarette, Wakako suddenly showed an expression of realization. Then she pressed a button on the table and said to the transmitter beside her: "Have someone send a set of tea set over."

Then she said to Shen Ye: "I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I've formally entertained guests like this... What kind of tea do you like? Is matcha okay?"

"Is Ms. Wakako proficient in the tea ceremony? Or does she need help from someone?" Shen Ye glanced at the hidden corner covered by the gauze curtain without leaving a trace.

"I've learned a little, but I'm not proficient. In fact, when I was young, I also wanted to be a good wife." Wakako said with a smile, flicking the cigarette between her fingers into the ashtray.

Looking at the old lady's skillful flick of ash, Shen Ye grinned: "Yamato Nadeshiko?"

"It seems that Mr. Shen has some understanding of Japanese culture!" The old lady smiled kindly: "I heard from my subordinates that you can speak Japanese with a Kyoto accent."

“Been there for a while.”

At the same time, Shen Ye added in his heart: But not in this world.

Wakako said meaningfully: "I have also been in Kyoto for many years, but I don't think I have heard of Mr. Shen's name?"

"Just a small character." Shen Ye also said in a meaningful tone, so as to maintain his mystery.

Sure enough, under the influence of Shen Ye's tone, Wakako frowned slightly. Although she immediately returned to normal, Shen Ye still noticed it.

"It seems that Mr. Shen is a hermit."

"I told you it's just a minor role..."

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. After getting Wakako's consent, several women in kimonos came in, bringing tea sets and a small coffee table.

However, after they put their things away, they left the room and no one stayed to make tea.

"Mr. Shen, please come in!" Wakako stood up and made an inviting gesture to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye nodded, stood up and walked to the coffee table. However, after seeing the cushions placed next to the coffee table, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to kneeling. Can I sit cross-legged?"

"Go ahead." Wakako nodded kindly, then knelt down opposite Shen Ye and started making tea.

To be honest, this scene is a bit weird, an old lady in her seventies making tea for herself...

If it was the person hiding in a secluded corner, Shen Ye felt that he could still barely accept it.

"So, who are you?"

Shen Ye glanced over there again, but there was an opaque glass wall there and he couldn't see anything unless he opened a profession... After thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. It would be boring to know everything in advance.

While thinking in his mind, Shen Ye watched the old lady make tea, but to be honest, the old lady's tea ceremony skills were really not that good, far worse than the Kagura sisters, and she shortened a lot of steps, so the first cup of tea was brewed quickly.

"Please taste it." Wakako handed the tea to Shen Ye.

With the experience of drinking tea at the Kagura sisters' house, Shen Ye certainly knew what to do. He took the teacup, turned it three times, drank it slowly, and then after praising the taste, he began to praise the tea set. Finally, he handed the teacup back with a satisfied expression.

At this moment, Wakako's eyes when she looked at Shen Ye also became a little different. She was a little suspicious before, but now... in addition to suspicion, there was a bit more solemnity, and the rest was curiosity.

But she was also a shrewd person, and she still maintained a kind smile on the surface, saying: "Mr. Shen has a lot of insights into the tea ceremony."

"No, it's mainly because I drink more often and practice makes perfect." Shen Ye said casually.

"I see." Wakako nodded, then made a cup of tea for Shen Ye.

Compared to the matcha that leaves his mouth full of tea foam, Shen Ye still prefers to drink pure tea. He picked up the cup and gently blew away the tea leaves floating on it. After taking a sip, he said, "Mrs. Westbrook, you've smoked and drank tea, but you haven't told me what you want from me!"

"Just call me Wakako." Wakako said this first, then shook her head: "It's nothing, just a few days ago one of my son's subordinates told me that he met someone who spoke with a Kyoto accent, so I just wanted to meet who that person is."

Shen Ye didn't believe it, and tapped the coffee table impolitely with his fingers: "Is it just that simple?"

"If you ask if there is anything else, of course there is." Wakako didn't care about Shen Ye's little actions at all. At this moment, in her mind, Shen Ye's background went from mysterious to very mysterious.

Then she continued: "How did Mr. Shen know Rebecca and Pyrrha?"

"A friend introduced me to this." Shen Ye frowned, not sure why Wakako asked this. Even in the anime, Wakako had contact with Team Mann, but what did this have to do with Rebecca and her siblings?

With a cold tone, Shen Ye asked: "Ms. Wakako, why are you asking this?"

Hearing the change in Shen Ye's tone, He Gezi waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't get me wrong."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Wakako is very clear about Shen Ye's strength. If it weren't for the request of the Arasaka family, she would not want to sit face to face with such a dangerous person.

"Come to think of it, I was the one who brought Rebecca and Pyrrha into the ranks of mercenaries... Don't be surprised, this happened a few years ago." Seeing Shen Ye's surprised expression, Wakako said with a smile.

"Really?" Even though He Gezi was so sure, Shen Ye was still skeptical. He didn't understand this matter at all.

Wakako nodded: "If you don't believe me, you can ask the brother and sister later."

"Yes, I will...but Ms. Wakako, what does this have to do with them?" Shen Ye asked doubtfully.

"Nothing, just wanted to prove we have mutual friends."

"Then what?" Shen Ye narrowed his eyes, thinking, is this an attempt to build relationships?

However, Wakako is a pretty good person in the game, and she is a top middleman. She is also quite caring towards V who later works for her, so Shen Ye is not disgusted by this.

"A friend of a friend is a friend. It's a little confusing, but it's the truth." Facing Shen Ye's question, He Gezi explained: "There will always be times when we can use each other, so today I just want to get to know you."

"Is it that simple?" Shen Ye asked the same question again.

Wakako didn't say anything, but just glanced in the direction where Shen Ye had glanced for a few times, and then nodded slightly: "It's that simple."

Shen Ye naturally noticed this action. After pondering Wakako's words, he smiled slightly and then said: "In this case, we know each other now."

"I hope that when you need me in the future, it won't be something too troublesome, ma'am." Shen Ye added: "Otherwise I will refuse."
