Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

After all, the clothes Belfast wore seemed too sexy, and they looked like sexy clothes no matter how you looked at them, while Sheffield's upper body was wrapped tightly.

But for this behavior of pulling the quilt and staring at his body, Xia Bai still labeled the maid in front of him in his mind.

'Crumbs.'

Chapter 19 If I had known earlier...

"Won't you introduce yourself, guest?" Sheffield asked as he looked at Xia Bai who was lying on the bed holding a pillow and trying to cover her body.

"I'm RX-02, just call me 02." Sitting on the bed, Xia Bai looked at the mean maid in front of him. He had nothing else to say.

After all, he was a person with social difficulties. He was fine with people he knew, but when facing strangers, especially a beautiful girl like this, he didn't know how to have a normal conversation.

But the situation of not speaking was too awkward, so Xia Bai immediately covered himself with the quilt and acted like an ostrich when he saw someone pushing the door in.

On the one hand, he was not wearing any clothes, and on the other hand, he really didn't like communicating with strangers.

......

"It's not gentlemanly to be naked in front of a lady." Sheffield stared at Xia Bai's face and nodded, as if he understood something, and spoke to break the silence.

"As a maid, I need to help you put on your clothes." After saying that, Sheffield picked up the pajamas on the bed and held Xia Bai down.

Slightly rough skin, tight muscles, different from the softness of girls, the body feels hard and full of strength, but you can feel the inner weakness. Well... I still need to check it carefully to ensure the safety of the royal family.

The touch of the man's body was clearly transmitted to Sheffield through her hands. Her cheeks slowly turned red but she still pretended to be calm as she examined Xia Bai's body.

Seeing the scumbag maid in front of her touching her body, Xia Bai began to struggle to ensure her purity. With fear in her eyes, she shouted, "I don't have the habit of letting others dress me. I can do it myself."

"I forgot to tell you that during your stay in the royal palace, I, Sheffield, will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation." Holding Xia Bai's limbs tightly, Sheffield whispered in Xia Bai's ear: "Or do you have extremely obscene desires and want me to call you master?"

The master and the beautiful maid, how desirable... no, what an evil capitalist oppression of the old society. He strongly condemned this petty-bourgeois decadent relationship.

Feeling the cool and slightly seductive voice and the fragrance of the girl, Xia Bai was stunned at first, and then began to struggle violently. However, how could the weak son of Prometheus be a match for the trashy maid?

Feeling Sheffield's increasingly unscrupulous methods, Xia Bai shouted, "Sheffield, don't." He was praying that someone could hear his cry for help.

"Please don't make things difficult for the maid, okay? Mr. 02, oh no, it should be Mr. Master." There was a hint of cruelty in the emotionless words.

"Be obedient."

——If I had known that I could be accepted without clothes in the royal family...

......

Looking at Xia Bai, who had put on her clothes and curled up like a young wife, Sheffield licked the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.

This man was really easy to deal with. I only used a few tricks and he was already unable to resist.

Belfast was right. How could he deceive Awesome and Glory with his condition? He was lucky not to be deceived.

Looking at Xia Bai's pale, lifeless and aggrieved face, Sheffield felt a strong sense of guilt for some reason.

Although she didn't know what happened between this man and the Guanghui sisters, she had heard a little about what happened to the Son of Prometheus. She guessed that Xia Bai must have been desperate and was deceived by Guanghui and Kewei to work illegally in the royal family.

Shaking his head and putting these unrealistic thoughts behind him, Sheffield could only be sure of two things.

First, this man is indeed not dangerous and will not pose any threat to the royal family.

Second, the man didn't realize that he was checking his body and was a stupid idiot.

After having this thought, Sheffield looked at Xia Bai with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Xia Bai came back to his senses and felt very uncomfortable seeing Sheffield staring at him. He remembered that when he heard his third sister say something strange before, he raised his hand to ask questions, and his third sister looked at him like that.

"Sheffield, why are you looking at me like that!"

Ignoring Xia Bai's shouting, Sheffield continued to look at her with pity.

Being stared at by Sheffield, Xia Bai shrank his shoulders and said timidly, "Well, now that I'm dressed, is there anything else?"

He hoped very much that Sheffield would just leave like this so that he could have a good rest. He was really afraid that this scumbag maid would do something strange again.

"It's okay, Mr. 02. Are you satisfied with my service?" Sheffield retracted her impolite gaze and deliberately said something bold. She had something to confirm.

"Uh, don't say something that could lead to misunderstanding. It's just changing clothes." Xia Bai scratched his head shyly after hearing Sheffield's suggestive words.

"Wait, how come it's Mr. 02 again? Isn't he the master's? Could it be that he was just teasing me?" Xia Bai discovered a strange blind spot.

Before he traveled through time, he had the same strange fantasy as most otakus - it would be great if there was a cute maid who could call him master.

In the six months after the time travel, I spent my days eating, sleeping, and fighting Sirens, and occasionally getting beaten by Sirens. I originally thought that this kind of thing could only be a fantasy.

But he didn't expect that there would be a maid today who would call him master, even though she was a despicable maid.

But the other person's appearance just happened to fit his aesthetic. The hair covering the eyes was so cute, the expressionless face was also cute, and the thin figure also indirectly raised the average level of the son of Prometheus.

So Xia Bai paid special attention to this and was a little concerned.

Sheffield understood Xia Bai's thoughts from his expression. His expressionless face immediately showed a look of seeing a pest. He said sarcastically, "Are you still wondering why I don't call you master?"

The trashy maid looked at Xia Bai with trash eyes, and the latter slowly lowered his head.

His thoughts were seen through again. How come these ship girls are so powerful? Can't they leave some private space for others?

But then again, why didn't Guanghui and Kewei see through him? Is it only the maid who can see through him?

"Since you want, I'll change the address. The consequences of asking me to call you master will be very serious." Sheffield said perfunctorily to Xia Bai who lowered his head.

"Really?" Hearing this, Xia Bai raised his head and looked at Sheffield's delicate little face.

Don't ask me in such a serious tone, anyone can tell that what I say is false. Sheffield sighed, she was sure.

This man is very easy to guess. He can't grasp the key points of things, and can't tell the truth from falsehood in his words. Maybe it's because he can feel that his mental fluctuations have no malicious intent.

In short, as Belfast said, a man who is very easy to deceive, although he can also feel the mental fluctuations of others, will fall into the trap as long as others use that kind of "deception without malicious intent".

Thinking of this, Sheffield felt that Xia Bai was very interesting and too naive. She somewhat understood why Ajax had such an inexplicable sense of superiority, because she looked at other people just as she looked at this man - this was an intellectual crush.

'Just change the title, it's just a title anyway, he won't stay in the royal family for too long. ' Sheffield thought so and replied, "Really, Master, you can tell me what to do during your time in the royal family."

"Forget it. I wouldn't be used to it if you really call me that. Um... my name is Xia Bai, you can just call me by my name." It was just a thought in his mind. Xia Bai would feel quite ashamed if someone really called him master.

Name? Was he just telling me his codename because he was on guard against me at first? It seems this man is not as simple as he thought.

After a moment's thought, Sheffield answered without changing his expression.

"Calling the master by his name is extremely disrespectful to the royal family and would be unbecoming of a maid. Please let me call you this." With an unyielding tone, Sheffield covered Xia Bai with the quilt.

Then he picked up the broom, looked around the room, and said, "Master, please take a good rest on the bed. Sheffield is going to start cleaning."

Chapter 20: Fools Attract Each Other

The midday sun shines directly in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the room brilliantly.

Sitting on the bed, Xia Bai saw that the already clean room was made sparkling by Sheffield. He picked up the black tea that the maid had just brewed and took a sip.

The taste is quite special, but I still think the Fat Otaku Happy Water tastes better. Unfortunately, ever since the military gave up on them, the money they get from above has become less and less, and by this month they probably won’t even have an allowance.

The next time I drink 'happy water' feels like a long time away...

'How long will she finish cleaning? This is the nth time, isn't this room clean enough? ' Looking at Sheffield who was still working hard, Xia Bai couldn't help but think.

"Perhaps I should apologize for her. Sheffield is not a 'disdainful' maid at all. On the contrary, she is a very diligent maid." Xia Bai hesitated and said.

"Sheffield, there's no need to clean anymore. Look, this room is already very clean. It would be counterproductive to work too hard."

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Sheffield did not stop the work in his hands. He turned his back to Xia Bai and replied: "If you don't clean it carefully, there will be 'pests' in the room. Please allow me to continue cleaning."

After saying that, the maid turned around as if she had discovered something and asked, "Are you hungry, Master? That's right, after all, Master didn't have any breakfast."

Without any expression on his lovely face, Sheffield continued, "If the master wants to eat anything, please tell me and Sheffield will prepare it and bring it to you."

After saying that, he stood beside the bed, looking like he was waiting for Xia Bai to give orders.

"..."

Looking at Sheffield who was enjoying his work, Xia Bai wondered if he was too lazy. He still had important things to do, and everyone on Spland Island should still be worried about him.

How can I lie in a comfortable bed and enjoy the attentive care of the maid now? Anyway, I will get some resources from the royal family to repair my RX-02.

With this thought in mind, Xia Bai asked, "Miss Sheffield, can you lend me some supplies?"

When Sheffield heard the word "supplies", he became alert and asked tentatively, "What does the master need resources for?"

"Including today, I have been missing for almost three days. I want to contact other sons of Prometheus and let them know about me—" After a pause, although he knew that he was asking for too much, Xia Bai still said shamelessly: "It would be great if you could lend me fuel, please."

Supplies are divided into resource coins and fuel. Fuel contains more energy than resource coins and is more effective. Legend has it that there is also a kind of material called "Red Tip", but Xia Bai has only heard of it and has never seen it.

Although supplies are not particularly rare, they can only be obtained by finding supply points on the sea and defeating Sirens.

This new energy source also appeared on the sea along with the appearance of Siren. Generally speaking, the ship girls rely on this new energy source to maintain their ship equipment expenses.

Therefore, supplies are extremely important strategic items, and are generally only possessed by the Maritime Administration and various garrisons. Of course, an organization like Azur Lane, which is composed of many ship girls without commanders, will also have them.

"Why contact others for supplies? Master, don't you have some weird ideas?" Ignoring Xia Bai's request, Sheffield stared at his face, trying to see something from it.

"To be honest, our lives have become very tight since the Battle of Faluo Sea. We can only rely on patrol fleets to search for Sirens to cover our daily expenses. We don't have extra money to purchase communication equipment."

Scratching the back of his head sheepishly, Xia Bai continued, "We usually use the communicators on our mechas to communicate, but my RX-02 was broken in the battle at Port William, so I need supplies to repair it."

After saying that, Xia Bai looked at Sheffield pitifully, hoping that he could impress her.

"As a maid, I am not qualified to lend you supplies." Seeing Xia Bai who immediately became disappointed, Sheffield sighed slightly. She felt a little bit sorry for her pitiful appearance.

After struggling for a moment, Sheffield said, "However, I can tell the Queen about your request. As for whether the Queen can agree to it, I don't know."

The maid's words were like God's salvation for the lamb. After hearing this, Xia Bai hurriedly thanked Sheffield.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

The visitor said in a delighted voice: "Lucy! Belfast told me not to disturb your rest. It's great that you woke up."

"This should be the second time we meet. The last time we met was in the waters of Port William." The man straightened his clothes and put his hands on his hips.

"Well, let me introduce myself once more. I am the new battleship, the largest and strongest Black Dragon - New Jersey. This is not a boast, or to say, "the strongest in the world" is not an exaggeration~ Once you get to know me well, your doubts about this topic will soon be dispelled~"

After saying that, he puffed out his chest slightly, looked at Xia Bai with pride, and waited for a response.

The person who came was the "unparalleled hero" in Xia Bai's mind. With one blow, he made Tian Palans flee in a panic, saving him and the glorious, fearful New Jersey from being in dire straits.

"Black Dragon? Pitch-black dragon? What kind of chuunibyou statement is this? But I believe in the saying 'world's strongest'." Suppressing the complaints in his heart, Xia Bai said, "Hello, Miss New Jersey, I'm RX... I'm Xia Bai, son of Prometheus. Thank you very much for your support yesterday."

After thinking it over, Xia Bai decided to tell his savior his name.

"Haha, no need to thank me, I just happened to pass by Port William. But Xia Bai, I heard from Guanghui and Kewei that you are very powerful."

Listening to New Jersey's praise, Xia Bai quickly said, "No, Miss New Jersey is more powerful than me. The black artillery fire that fell from the sky is still fresh in my memory."

"It's not that amazing. It's just that the Siren didn't notice the sneak attack I launched. Xia Bai, you are amazing. You are not afraid of danger, you are both wise and brave, and you made a plan to carry out the decapitation operation."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, New Jersey..."

Sheffield felt something was a little strange watching the two people in front of him flattering each other. After careful observation, he found that they looked embarrassed after being praised.

As if they were cast in the same mold, when Sheffield saw New Jersey's face, he always felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Oh, by the way, just like the master I'm calling now, simple-minded and easy to deceive. So, are these two people the same type of people?

The scumbag maid secretly slandered in her heart.

Chapter 21 Sheffield Can't Stand It Anymore

Looking at the two people who were still praising each other, Sheffield cleared his throat, coughed and said, "Excuse me, what can New Jersey do for the master?"

Hearing this, New Jersey clenched his right fist and clapped it on his left hand, and said with sudden realization: "Oh, right, I came here to ask Xia Bai something." Then New Jersey scratched his head and laughed: "I'm sorry, I don't know why Xia Bai and I hit it off right away, I always feel like we get along well."

"I have the same feeling. I always feel that New Jersey is like a familiar friend of mine, so I talk more." After Xia Bai said this, he looked at New Jersey and laughed.

"That's because idiots are attracted to each other. Can you grasp the point?" Thinking this in his heart, Sheffield's slender white fingers tightly grasped the broom.

"Then I'll tell you my purpose straight away, Xia Bai." She put away her smile, and it was as if the silly person just now was not her, and New Jersey's expression revealed a seriousness.

"Xia Bai, you should know the Siren who fought with you yesterday morning. What is that Siren with wisdom?"

"I asked Guanghui and Kewei, and they said that you know that Siren, and asked if you could tell me the details about that creature. After all, there has never been a Siren with intelligence and the ability to communicate."

New Jersey Star's blue eyes were fixed on Xia Bai, seeking an answer.

As the words fell, the room became quiet, and even the sound of birds outside the window stopped coming in. The relaxed and happy atmosphere just now disappeared, replaced by solemnity and heaviness.

After hearing what New Jersey said, Sheffield also looked at Xia Bai for an answer. This was not something to be joked about.

In all the years that Sirens have appeared, she has never heard of them being intelligent and able to communicate. If what New Jersey said was true.

So, this wise Siren may be the 'key' to the end of this war.

Being watched by the two ship girls, Xia Bai picked up the teacup and prepared to drink some red tea, but found that he had already finished it, so he put it back.
