She shook her head, looked around, and decided to go to the station.

So be it.

"jingle."

Unfortunately, there are always accidents.

The summer evening breeze playfully rolled up the wind chimes, and the crisp sound of tinkling bells passed through the sound waves just right, and fell into the girl's ears at the moment it was about to disappear.

Burgundy sighed slightly. It was still not appropriate to go back like this.

The sound came from a bookstore at the bottom of the roadside steps.

He seems to like books very much.

So the girl took a step forward.

The bookstore was deserted, and a fat cat was lying lazily at the door.

Looking at the person coming, the fat cat called out softly.

Burgundy pushed the door open, and the wind chimes began to tremble again.

"Hello" The one watching the shop is Edinburgh.

"Do you want to buy a book?"

The girl nodded slightly.

"That's really rare." Edinburgh looked a little happy. "Not many people like to read physical books nowadays."

"Maybe." The girl didn't comment.

This bookstore is different from the school library.

There is a scent of ink here.

It also has the unique atmosphere of old books.

The wooden planks under the girl's feet creaked as she stepped on them.

The lights above emit a soft glow, and the coffee in front of Edinburgh exudes a faint aroma, adding a bit of romance to the small bookstore.

Burgundy strolled slowly among the bookshelves.

"What kind of book do you want to read?" Edinburgh saw Burgundy's hesitation.

The girl shook her head. "Gift."

"For...your commander?" Edinburgh asked curiously.

Burgundy nodded.

"A commander who likes reading?" Edinburgh laughed. "It's even rarer."

"Look at the Bible in your hand. Is it the companion of Iris?" Edinburgh said.

"Yeah." Although I didn't really want to say that.

"I see. What does your commander like to watch?"

"Look at both, probably."

"Well... this is difficult to deal with." Edinburgh stood up and walked to Burgundy.

The bookstore is small, but it has a lot of books.

Some are left by predecessors, while others are brand new.

"If you really don't know how to choose, then just leave it to your intuition." Edinburgh said with a smile.

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

Some people like to touch the spines of rows of books when choosing books in a bookstore, as if they were watching a talent show.

But Burgundy didn't have that bad habit, she just watched.

Norwegian Wood doesn't seem to be the right fit.

He seemed to have read "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

Ok……

The girl paused.

This one seems good.

The girl reached out and took down a thick copy of "Faust".

"Beautiful, please stay for me?" Edinburgh said this with a smile.

Your mind has been confused, just like mine, seeking the relaxing daylight hours, only to be lost in the heavy darkness, in your pursuit of truth.

These words emerged in the girl's memory.

Yes, as a knight of the Vatican of Iris, she also possesses these aristocratic qualities.

So, are you also confused and lost at night like me?

No, you are Faust. The devil's temptation will not stop you, and the worldly complications will not stop you.

what about me?

The girl felt a little disappointed.

Maybe I'm the devil? No, I'm just...

"Miss Burgundy?"

"Sorry." Realizing that he had been distracted, Burgundy held the book and continued forward.

Wandering around, Burgundy stopped again.

I have no idea what he likes to watch.

He reached out again and took down a book of essays and a book of miscellaneous essays.

The prose is by Zhu Ziqing.

There is also a book called "If Our Language Were Whiskey".

I think you will like these two books.

"That's it," she said.

"Okay." Edinburgh took the two books with a smile and brought them to the front desk.

"A return gift?"

"Ah."

"I understand." Edinburgh took out a paper bag and carefully put the book in it.

It's a paper bag, not a plastic bag. It has patterns on it, which looks very nice.

"Miss, do you need a gift box?" Edinburgh observed that Burgundy was holding a Bible and a necklace in his hand.

"Is there?" Burgundy hesitated.

"Of course, please wait." Edinburgh searched and took out a jewelry box from under the counter.

The girl watched as Edinburgh carefully packed it up and took it.

"Thank you for your patronage." Edinburgh said with a smile.

Burgundy nodded, "Thank you."

"I should do it." The other party's smile did not fade. "Well, see you next time."

"Yeah." The girl nodded and turned to leave.

Burgundy quickly made his way through the noisy crowd and returned to the station.

Royal Oak and Rodney seemed to have arrived earlier than her, and the two girls were carrying large and small bags in their hands.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

I only had a lonely bag in my hand, which made me look out of place.

"Burgundy, what are you going to give?" Rodney smiled when he saw Burgundy coming.

"Books." Burgundy looked at them both.

"Commander Lorraine, do you like reading?" Royal Oak asked.

"I guess so." The girl nodded.

Rodney watched the tram approach, "How romantic."

"Romance?" Burgundy didn't quite understand.

“Amidst the clamor, it is truly romantic to be able to calm down and truly savor the weight of the paper and the words,” Royal Oak explained.

The girl nodded noncommittally.

The noisy commercial street was left behind by the tram, and Burgundy breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already night, and the distant Tianhai City might have already fallen asleep, but for the Maritime Academy, it was just dawn.

In the bustling commercial streets, the training seas with flickering flames, the classrooms and dormitories with lights still on, the trainees and ship girls always seem to have endless energy.

There was soothing music playing on the tram, which seemed to be Bach's "Preludes to the Well-Tempered Clavier".

Just like life here.

No war...

"An urgent message is informing you: The pro-Siren faction 'Dongzhu' is suspected of entering Donghuang territory. Please be aware of your surroundings. If you spot any suspicious individuals, please call the police immediately..."

Oh, I remember now. I think I mentioned in class that they were a bunch of crazy people who wanted to change the world with sirens.

Burgundy took note.

A betrayer.

There has never been a shortage of eccentric lunatics in the human community.

"Dongzhu has entered Donghuang... things are getting serious." Rodney said.

"Isn't their main area of ​​activity in Europe?" Royal Oak frowned.

"What the hell is this traitor doing again?" Rodney said unhappily.

According to statistics, there are always intelligence leaks in Azur Lane every year, and Vision is definitely the main culprit.

"Who knows..." Burgundy spoke rarely, with her head lowered and a distorted expression on her face.

“Burgundy, you…” Royal Oak felt that something was wrong with Burgundy.

The girl chuckled.

"If you meet a traitor like this, just kill him, that's all." She laughed softly.

"No, that's not right..."

"What's wrong?" Royal Oak swallowed.

The girl in front of her made her feel like a different person...

Rodney asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you." The girl looked up and smiled out the window, a somewhat twisted smile.

"You have security and wealth... why are you still not satisfied?" the girl asked again.

But the two young girls, who were not very worldly-wise, were destined to be unable to answer this question.

She didn't want to answer either.

"That's not right."

"Hehehe~, if you become a scum, you will be caught and killed." She laughed softly.

The two girls behind him were a little afraid to speak.

"It would be alright to just catch and kill this kind of rat, right?" The girl's smile grew wider, her eyes reflecting a strange light.

On the glass window, the inverted cross on Burgundy's chest emitted a faint fluorescence.
