The mornings in Shanghai were not sunny like those in the rural areas. Smog drifted through the window, making the whole atmosphere seem more British rather than Chinese. The only thing that had not changed was the smell of fried dough sticks and warm soy milk. The typical smell of the most common Chinese breakfast came wafting up the staircase as 'Fengling' appeared, a meal of fried dough sticks and a glass of warm soymilk in her hands.
"Morning, Lenalee." "Morning, Fengling. Did I miss anything?" I asked as I accepted the food 'Fengling' had offered. 'Fengling' smiled and replied: "Well, Baishi did receive a call from the Order. It seems that Allen has completed his mission and made a new friend on the way, and Lavi's group brought a new exorcist to the Order, not just the Innocence. It appears that she is of royal German lineage." I laughed: "I bet he's flirting with her all the time." Saeko: "Yes, I would expect so of my idiotic cousin, but it seems that Komui says otherwise." "Oh, that's unusual." I bit into my breakfast a slight smile on my face.

As Lenalee and I reached downstairs, it seemed that several members of my old gang were curious about the ruby-inlaid silver ring that was the Innocence of 'Baishi'. Inaudibly, his mouth formed the shape of the command "Innocence activate", and the ring spun into a giant scythe. I could not help but chuckle at the surprised looks on the Chinamen's faces. Soon, they attempted to recruit 'Baishi'. Really, normal humans are too easily impressed.

Well, our mission this time was to retrieve a Innocence that was causing abnormal success to a certain mafia member of the Wohu Gang – Wuqiang. This man wields twin guns that have the Innocence in them. Unfortunately, Wuqiang is not compatible, as it is clear that his success was massive after his possession of these guns, yet he is weakened and frequently gets sick after use of the guns. Typical.
Apparently, he's sick again and is residing in the Fafu Inn as an emergency. If we don't act tonight, Wuqiang would be transported to a heavily-guarded hospital which will make the whole mission more troublesome; which is precisely why we're walking down the street to Fafu Inn.
As much as ruining one's life is an awful deed to do, we must get the Innocence under any circumstances to avoid confusion and all that stuff. Even though we'll be sacrificing one for billions, well, we have to do it. After all, we're all "Destroyers" in this world.
Let it begin.

The night was quiet tonight – the perfect setting for our job. So, our plan was for me to steal the twin guns. That was easy, and convenient too, considering that I used to be professional thief for some time. So here I am, wearing black, tight-fitting clothing and with a pair of guns so similar to the pair Wuqiang possessed that only Bookmen and Inkshadow were able to tell the difference. Hey, you can get all kinds of things from the black market, you know.
I heard the heavy sound of a man sleeping. The coast was clear. The bonus in for us was that the window was (unwisely) open. The expensive flaps of cloth fluttered in the night wind like mad ghosts, making extra noise to disguise the sound of my cloth-bound feet.
After having everyone help hoist me up to the window, I carefully contorted myself to slide into the window, and landed onto the floor expertly with a soft thud. I twirled out the fake Innocence guns and laid them on the floor carefully, while reaching for the real Innocence guns. Quickly, I slid the real Innocence gun into my holsters, feeling their tingling aura that unmistakably belonged to the Innocence. Then, I laid the fake Innocence guns onto the table accurately were the real ones had just been.
Suddenly, the man stirred in his sleep. I had quickly activated my own Innocence and turned invisible. The burly man muttered something that sounded like "midnight snack" in Chinese, but before he left the room I had already slid out the window.

Well, saying goodbye to China again was a hard for me. The mafia wanted us to say, but 'Fengling' explained to them that we had another job already, so they gave up, but the disappointed look on their face was still obvious.
After we got on the boat, Saeko took out the Innocence and asked: "Why don't we name it?" Shirou thought for a while: "How about … Twin Happiness?" "Yes, that makes sense … like how it gave happiness and success to its owner, even if its owner is not compatible …" I agreed to Shirou's suggestion. "Yes, that'll be its name. Let's hope that it will take us back to Europe faster." Saeko said as she packed the Innocence away and looked out to the sea, in the direction of Europe.
