KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Liu Cheng took a stool and sat in front of Tiancheng, saying, "You may not believe it, but they were the ones who took the initiative. Maybe I just have this kind of charm."

"I believe you. Of course you have such charm." Tiancheng smiled. "Didn't you just say that you have many friends and will have more friends in the future... Let me think about it. The only person who can have such attainments in Go is Zhenhai, the counselor of Donghuang, right?"

"Yes." Liu Cheng did not hide it.

"Not only Zhenhai, but you have met so many ship girls, and you have such charm and ability. I don't think you just want to be a scientific researcher in Iron Blood?" Tiancheng changed the subject, "Don't get me wrong, even if I am injured, I am still the military advisor of the Sakura Empire. You have a bond with the Sakura Empire's ship girls, so of course I have to consider the impact on the Sakura Empire."

"No misunderstanding."

Liu Cheng looked into Amagi's beautiful eyes and said frankly, "Since we both understand each other's intentions, let's get straight to the point. I do want to build a good relationship with the Sakura Empire's shipgirls, although I didn't expect the relationship to progress so quickly. I do have a bigger goal or ambition. Amagi, what do you think of the current situation of the Azur Lane splitting up?"

“What comes together must separate, but what separates must come together.”

Tiancheng did not hesitate for long. She had already made a similar judgment, and Liu Cheng's appearance made her more certain of her inference.

"Then do you think that a human being can integrate and command the entire Azur Lane?"

It is both a question and a statement.

Hearing Liu Cheng's words, Tiancheng opened her eyes wide. The ambition of the man in front of her was greater than she had imagined.

Chapter 52: Off-field is also a factor in winning or losing

"If it was before, I don't think it would work."

Amagi thought for a moment, her bangs falling down, covering her two red eyebrows, she had a delicate and elegant look, "When the Ship Girls were first born, it's not that humans didn't try to command us, but it was proven that it didn't work. The poor means of communication, the complicated political games, and the interests of all parties involved are all taboos on the battlefield. So the Azure Lane was established, and the war situation has become what it is now. We Ship Girls have become accustomed to fighting like this. If humans suddenly come out and want to command us, I don't think most of the Ship Girls will accept it."

Liu Cheng looked at Tiancheng calmly and said, "But the situation is different now."

"Yes, and you are different too."

Amagi held her chin lightly. Just as she had thought before, things that come together must eventually separate, and things that separate must eventually come together. Liu Cheng's existence was unprecedented. His ability to communicate with ship girls and even influence the mind cube alone was unprecedented. Therefore, it was useless to use previous experience to analyze the current situation. Faced with such an unprecedented situation, as a military strategist of the Sakura Empire, she could only make bold judgments based on the situation and people's hearts... So could the man in front of her become herself, the lord of the entire Sakura Empire?

The most important thing for a strategist is intelligence, especially intelligence that he has witnessed with his own eyes.

"I understand."

Tiancheng looked at Liu Cheng and said with a smile: "This is unprecedented. You really gave me a difficult problem. But you can say this, which means you trust me. I am the military advisor of Sakura Empire. Naturally, I have to consider the future of Sakura Empire. So please give me some time. If you can convince Tiancheng during this period of time, then I will worship you as my master."

Tiancheng's meaning was very clear. She wanted to know whether Liu Cheng really had the power to heal her body and mind cube. This power was enough to influence the situation... But there was one thing she didn't say clearly. If she was really healed by Liu Cheng, then this life-saving favor should be repaid with gratitude. Even without these words, their fates had already been linked.

"Okay, then I'll try harder and find a way to cure you."

Liu Cheng stood up, put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and moved forward. Amagi in front of him had gentle eyes and a mature and beautiful face that showed the quiet temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Ah? What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'll take advantage of your inability to resist and influence your judgment." Liu Cheng approached Tian Cheng's beautiful face, and her fair face was slightly flushed. "My friend told me that the victory or defeat of Go is not only on the chessboard. A true winner can seize all opportunities on and off the chessboard, so I'm going to use some off-board tactics."

"Huh? I'm not that easily influenced."

Amagi's heart was beating uncontrollably. Even though she was the military strategist of the Sakura Empire, she could only control her expressions, words and actions. Some feelings and reactions could not be controlled no matter what.

"Maybe I'm an exception." Liu Cheng paused, looked into Tiancheng's beautiful eyes and said, "Sometimes when things are too easy to get, we tend to overlook some things. It was only until Kaga reminded me of the significance of kissing to women that I realized it."

“It’s just for healing…” Tiancheng murmured.

"Then continue with your treatment. No matter what your final choice is, I will respect you."

As he spoke, Liu Cheng leaned down and kissed Tiancheng's pink lips once again. Through this connection, his heart sank into Tiancheng's body.

Tiancheng's eyes were as beautiful as water, and her pretty eyelashes trembled slightly. It was most taboo to add some personal emotions when planning strategies, but this world has never operated strictly according to logic. If it was not a truly loyal master, how could he be willing to serve him?

A trace of impatient whimper came out of Tiancheng's throat, and the beauty closed her eyelids. After losing her vision, the touch of her lips became clearer and clearer, rushing straight to her heart.

this time

The result was the same as last time. Although Liu Cheng could feel Tiancheng's emotional fluctuations, it was still a long way off. He still couldn't wake up the sleeping mind cube. This was also related to the fact that Tiancheng's injuries were more serious than those of Bal, Bismarck and others.

Pushing Tiancheng's wheelchair out of the scanning room, Liu Cheng was still thinking about how to make up for the last bit of distance, but Chicheng who was waiting outside snatched the handle of Tiancheng's wheelchair.

"Leave it to me, and go do your thing."

Akagi had a cold and beautiful face, and her actions were somewhat direct and merciless, but there was not so much coldness and inhumanity in her words. After all, even Kaga's test had led to such a conclusion, and Akagi's hard heart couldn't help but give rise to a glimmer of hope - so many ship girls believe in him, maybe I can trust him a little, just for a little while.

Liu Cheng said: "I have nothing else to do now."

"Really? I see some people don't think so."

Following the direction of Akagi's gaze, Liu Cheng found someone leaning against the wall not far away. She had neat short black hair, and the white lace embroidery and black front revealed large areas of white skin. Under the short skirt covered with an apron were long, straight legs. The long boots and leather socks made her look gentle and sharp.

Liu Cheng in maid costume was recognizable, but Liu Cheng, the owner of the maid costume, was almost unrecognizable.

"Hu Teng? Why are you dressed like this?"

"What's so surprising about the outfit? I can wear anything I want." Hu Teng walked up to Liu Cheng, grabbed his arm, and said as he pulled him away, "But you, you look busy and worried all day long. Have you forgotten what you should do?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten..."

Liu Cheng waved goodbye in the direction of Amagi. He certainly did not forget what he should do. He had to heal Amagi, make friends with the Sakura Empire, and prevent or bridge the split in Azur Lane. Compared to these big things, other small things could be put aside for the time being... This is of course true in theory, but life never develops strictly according to theory. If it favors one side, the other will be ignored.

Smiling, Liu Cheng knew what he should do. Sometimes it was unnecessary to be too rational.

"But Hu Teng, have you forgotten something?" Liu Cheng looked at the familiar ship girl and said, "You are wearing a maid outfit, it seems that you shouldn't talk like this."

Hu Teng stopped, and without hesitation, she covered her skirt and bowed slightly to Liu Cheng, saying, "Welcome, my master. May I ask what service you may need... Okay, are you satisfied now?"

“Very satisfying.”

Such a cool ship girl like Hu Teng's words and actions, handsome and feminine, really make people's hearts beat fast, "Then where are you taking me?"

"Go to the research room and meet your other maid."

"what?"

Chapter 53: Maid Outfit Is Not Important

"Welcome back, Master. You can order your maid Auguste to do anything."

The elegant and charming witch lady already had experience in dressing up as a maid, so she saluted Liu Cheng gracefully. Because she still had a hair tie in her pink lips, every word she said had a low and charming ending, as if it could tease people's hearts.

In comparison, Egil was much more constrained. Her outfit was lighter and bolder. Her sleeveless top was made up of only a few pieces of cloth, with only a bandage-like chest binder on her chest, revealing a large area of ​​delicate whiteness on her round and perky upper and lower body, like a ripe fruit that seemed ready to break free from its restraints at any time. The skirt of her maid outfit was very short, not even covering her plump thighs in her white stockings. The suspenders squeezed her thigh flesh, and the shallow indentations could arouse people's deep desires.

"You're here. Good afternoon, Master...Master..."

Egil opened his cherry lips slightly, his cheeks flushed, the bold words he said before putting on the maid outfit were still ringing in his ears, such as "Even if I don't wear a maid outfit, Liu Cheng can't go against my wishes. I am the God of the Wild Sea", "Forget it, just treat it as satisfying his hobby", "Hmph, as long as I put on a maid outfit and say a few words, Liu Cheng can't help but sing "Conquer" in front of me". So even though he felt that the outfit was a bit embarrassing in his heart, he still put it on with a swagger. Now that he was really facing Liu Cheng and saw his astonished and fiery gaze, he was a little panicked.

"Lord... after all, forget it!"

Egil gritted her teeth, unable to speak. She crossed her arms and pretended to be proud, using words to cover up the shyness hidden in her heart. "It is already a great favor for me to wear a maid outfit for you. Do you still expect me to call you master?"

"Hey."

Liu Cheng responded and winked at Egil.

“…Huh? You, you…”

Egil was suddenly flustered. She was a bold and confident person, but her cheeks turned red with shame just because of the title of master. She simply sat back on the sofa, crossed her legs and looked angry.

"Isn't it normal to call your master after putting on a maid outfit?"

Hu Teng said: "The key is not the maid costume."

"I see."

Liu Cheng took a breath. He looked at Hu Teng and August. Zeppelin, who was also sitting on the sofa, said nothing and was as cold as ice. However, the fact that she was still sitting there was already the best statement. And Strauss, who was standing there smiling without doing anything, represented her meaning. She was the witch of time. What could be more precious than time?

The key is not the maid outfit, but the willingness to wear a maid outfit for yourself. If it is not for an important person, how could you do such a thing?

Liu Cheng turned to Stella

Sai nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy with other things these past two days and have fallen behind on a lot of work. Please criticize me harshly, team leader."

"You know how precious my time is. Of course, your time is precious too. We should all be aware of this." Strasser had a stern face at first, but as he spoke, he finally showed a beautiful smile. "Forget it. It's good that you know your mistake. You know how to make up for it, right?"

"I understand. Since there is a maid here, I will be the master."

Liu Cheng then really started giving orders: "Hu Teng, go check if the door of the research building is closed. If not, close it. Don't let the open door tempt me to leave early."

"Oh, what a troublesome master."

Hu Teng smiled faintly, but then turned around and did it.

"August, bring some beer. Any kind will do."

"Yes, Master." Miss Witch said gracefully, "If you need some wine to liven up the party, I can bring some strong liquor over."

"No, just beer."

"Drinking is prohibited in the research building... this will not happen today."

Strasser smiled. Of course she would not ruin the atmosphere. Habits are really terrible things. They used to be like this. In the cold laboratory, the sisters would only say a few words occasionally. But after Liu Cheng left, this atmosphere became unbearable. When he was around, it was no longer boring. When he was not around, I realized that it was really boring without him.

Liu Cheng gave Strasser a thumbs up, then sat down on the sofa between Egil and Zeppelin. He didn't say a word, but just held his head with his hands, sitting like a master.

"Really? The dress is so short that even my hair gets tangled in it."

"Why do you have such a strange hobby?"

"Parseval seems to be enjoying it... I'm not happy with the fact that I'm being treated as a maid! Are you listening?"

Egil muttered to herself, totally disregarding her confident and bold personality. Wearing a maid outfit that showed she was someone's vassal made her feel uncomfortable all over, as if her true character hidden in her heart was exposed and discovered by others. But what Egil didn't know was that Liu Cheng had already known it.

"I'm listening. It's a beautiful day today, Egil."

"Hey?"

Liu Cheng turned his back to Zeppelin and moved closer to Egil. This mature beauty, whose whole body was filled with a white glow, had a charming face flushed pink and her eyes wandered.

"I like the way you look, Egil. My heart was moved the moment I saw you. You are so beautiful."

"Of course, my beauty is irresistible." Egil patted his plump chest, "It's only natural for you to be conquered by me."

"Indeed, I like the maid outfit you put on me."

Liu Cheng stretched out his hand, grabbed a strand of Egil's silver hair, and let it flow along her round shoulders, across her swan-like neck, and stroked her delicate cheek. Next to her were her slightly open lips, with beautiful lines and a charming cherry pink color.

"...Wait, you, you are not serious!?"

"Yes, of course I am serious. As a maid, shouldn't I obey my master?"

"Who says that a woman wearing a maid outfit is a maid? My master is not one either..."

"obedient."

Egil's body trembled violently as her plump body was suddenly embraced by Liu Cheng. Zeppelin was sitting opposite them, looking at them coldly with his red eyes. The more this happened, the more Egil felt that she had no strength left in her body. She softened in Liu Cheng's arms like a pool of spring water, unable to resist and could only talk tough.

“…!? I wouldn’t have been a maid if I had known!”

Egil whimpered in Liu Cheng's ear, but his hands gently wrapped around the man's waist. It seemed like a long time had passed since he had felt such warmth in the past few days.

Chapter 54: I am quite angry, very angry, and no longer angry

"Speaking of which, these clothes of yours, weren't they prepared a long time ago?"

Liu Cheng pursed his lips, patted Egil's shoulder, and touched August's purple hair. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you knew my preferences so well and secretly prepared such a big surprise for me. It's worth it for me to work for you every day, bring breakfast, do chores, and work hard. If there is a next time, I hope it will be a nurse's uniform or a stewardess uniform..."

Hu Teng stood behind the sofa, tapped Liu Cheng's head with his middle finger and said, "Don't push your luck. Just because we are willing to wear this outfit doesn't mean we have to do what you want every time."

Liu Cheng was joking, of course. He touched the back of his head and asked, "What about these maid costumes?"

"We bought it from Akashi."

Egil had almost melted in Liu Cheng's arms like a ball of spring water just now. Now that she had regained control of her body, the sky cleared up and the rain stopped. She suddenly became confident again, as if she was not the one just now. "That little girl has something. It seems that you can buy anything from her. She actually prepared this kind of thing when she came here."

"Don't be fooled by her appearance, she's a profiteer." Hu Teng snorted coldly, and said, "During the previous joint attack, Akashi's ship was full of cargo in addition to fuel. It was inconvenient to resupply in the open sea, so she sold Coke to White Eagle, vodka to Northern Alliance, and red wine to Royal at a high price. In the end, she exchanged all of them with Donghuang for a strong currency like RMB. What a little brat, she was so greedy for money, a piece of waste paper."

"I didn't expect such a cute little loli

, it turns out to be like this, you can't judge a person by his appearance. "Liu Cheng paused and said to Qi Peilin, who had been folding his arms and not saying a word, "Qi Peilin, don't you think so?"

The Witch of the End raised her head proudly. She couldn't hear anything. She just couldn't hear anything.

Liu Cheng missed the target and asked, "What do you think Zeppelin would look like if she wore a maid outfit?"

"It's a bit hard to imagine." Strasser shrugged. His sister rarely changed her clothes all year round, but she changed her stockings and high heels more frequently recently.

"I'll die." August held his chin with his right hand and looked at Zeppelin seriously and said, "I'll die of laughter at her appearance."

"Hahaha……"

Egil stared at Zeppelin's expressionless face, thinking about how she would look in a maid outfit, and he burst out laughing heartily.

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny."

Liu Cheng pointed at the laughing ship girls with a serious face. He moved his body, sat next to Zeppelin and said, "You guys are just jealous that Zeppelin is prettier and has a better figure than you. If she puts on a maid outfit, she will definitely outshine you all. Zeppelin, don't you think so?"

The Witch of the End had a cold expression, but her eyes were no longer fixed on the empty corner like before.
