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

Suddenly, Sirius seemed to remember something, and shouted at Xia Bai who had been silent, in a crying voice.

"Compete with me again."

Xia Bai lowered his head and ignored him.

Sirius endured the pain and crawled to his feet, raised his head and continued to beg: "Please, compete with me again, as long as you agree to compete with me again, I am willing to do anything."

She has no advantages except her excellent appearance since she was born, just like a nobody. Every time she sees her companions stand out because of their own characteristics, Sirius is very envious.

But she couldn't do anything. She couldn't make tea or sew... She couldn't even do small things like washing clothes. In the royal environment, she was more like a waste.

She longs to be needed by others.

So she, who knew nothing, could only practice her fighting skills diligently. Finally one day, her hard work paid off, and she performed well in the battle with the Siren and was selected into the Queen's Guard.

The praise from her companions and the admiration from her sister made Sirius feel that she was not a useless waste, and she was proud of this identity.

And now the identity that could prove his only advantage has been taken away.

"As long as I can defeat him, defeat him... I will definitely return to the Queen's Guard." Like a thirsty traveler seeing water, Sirius kept begging Xia Bai with this thought in mind.

Looking at Sirius crying bitterly, Xia Bai remained unmoved.

He could sense Sirius's mental fluctuations, the anxiety, sadness, despair, and the helplessness after being abandoned.

When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. When Prometheus' son was abandoned, they must have felt the same way.

Maybe Sirius was like this because of the fight with him, but Xia Bai just did what he should do. There was no room for him to speak here, and he had no right to speak.

This is the Royal Palace, not Splanland Island. Xia Bai came to see Elizabeth with a request. In order to achieve his goal, he could only turn his head away with a heart of stone and not look at Sirius.

Seeing that Sirius wanted to say something, the blond knight above him shouted, "Enough, Sirius, look at what you look like now, are you still a royal warrior?"

Sirius trembled when he heard this. He did not continue to beg. He looked at Xia Bai desperately and fell to the ground sobbing softly.

So why did it become like this? He was just here to borrow supplies, and it didn't matter whether he borrowed them or not, he could just figure out a way out, but now this situation made him look like an unforgivable villain.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xia Bai put these thoughts behind him. He asked Elizabeth on the steps: "Your Majesty, I have won the first trial. Please tell me about the second trial."

He still has important things to do.

Seeing Xia Bai asking the Queen a question at this time, the surrounding ship girls who didn't know the truth started to talk about it.

"He is the man brought back by Radiant and Awesome, right? Why did he fight with Sirius? Does anyone know what happened?"

"I don't know, but from what he said, it seems to be related to some trial of the Queen."

"Isn't he a little too inhumane? Sirius has done that and he still wants to continue."

"In my opinion, he doesn't take our royal family seriously. Why don't we sisters go together and let this man know that the dignity of the royal family cannot be offended."

"How can anyone bully our royal family? Sisters, teach him a lesson and avenge Sirius."

"You guys just want to watch the fun, don't you? You'd better wait for the queen's reply."

......

Seeing the chattering of the ship girls below, Elizabeth stood up and slammed the scepter in her hand heavily on the ground.

"Don't make any noise!"

The ship girls who were discussing heatedly immediately shut up and looked at the petite queen above.

Elizabeth felt guilty as she was being stared at by several pairs of eyes. She opened her mouth but could not say anything. She could only stand on the throne pretending to be majestic.

To be honest, Elizabeth was already having a headache because of the current situation. Seeing that the crowd was like a vegetable market, she stood up and interrupted them without having thought of what to say.

She just wanted to kill time while waiting for ice cream, who knew it would turn out like this. In her heart, the queen prayed that Belfast would come soon to relieve her worries.

As if he saw Elizabeth's dilemma, the blond knight at the side stepped forward and said to the queen: "Queen, please allow me to fight."

"Ah! What are you doing?" Elizabeth said in surprise. She blinked in confusion, not knowing why her most trusted knight suddenly asked for a fight.

"Although I don't know what your test is, Queen, the dignity of the royal family cannot be trampled upon." After saying that, the blond knight smiled brightly at Elizabeth, "Please rest assured, I will not lose."

Elizabeth didn't know what to do, so she cleared her throat and placed the scepter on the knight's shoulder.

"I'm counting on you, Lord War-weary."

"I will live up to your expectations." After saying this, War-weary turned around and walked down the stairs.

Coming in front of Xia Bai, her war-weary eyes were stern, and she summoned out her ship-mounted greatsword, full of fighting spirit.

Chapter 26 Hao discovered something extraordinary

"Is that guy so stupid? He still proposed another trial under such circumstances." Seeing that War-weary had already started a confrontation with Xia Bai in the hall, Sheffield became worried.

Don't think that Waryan is easy to bully because of her petite body. You should know that Waryan is a real battleship, and her title of Royal Guardian Knight was earned through dozens of battles of all sizes.

Sheffield didn't think Xia Bai would be a war-weary opponent. She squinted her eyes and tried to remind Xia Bai, signaling him to stop while he was ahead, but Xia Bai didn't notice her look.

His eyes were fixed on the petite girl in front of him. Xia Bai could feel a sense of oppression from War-weary that was completely different from that from Sirius, which made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Your name is Xia Bai, right? I've heard of you from Guanghui and Kewei. You performed very well in the battle of Port William." With a smile on Yan Zhan's young and immature face, she praised Xia Bai. She really thought Xia Bai was very powerful and could even turn around such a situation.

He stuck the sword in his hand into the ground, stretched his wrist, and continued, "That's all for now. Now I want to tell you the content of the second trial—"

"Defeat me!" After saying this, War-weary showed confidence on his face and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Hearing that the content of the second trial was to defeat the opponent, Xia Bai lowered his head and looked at War-weary. He wanted to carefully analyze the information revealed by his opponent's appearance.

Confident smile, mature temperament.jpg

"This child, judging by the way she just scolded Sirius and the big sword in her hand, she should be Sirius's sister or elder. I just don't know which Dido-level one she is."

"But no matter who it is, I have the confidence that I can defeat him."

Son of Prometheus is so confident when facing small ships such as light cruisers and destroyers.

However, Xia Bai, who had already secured his second victory in his heart, immediately heard his opponent's self-introduction.

"I forgot to tell you just now, I'm war-weary...what does that expression of yours mean!"

Seeing Xia Bai's sudden look of fear, Yan Zhan stamped his feet in anger. His mature and serious temperament was gone, and he screamed like a little girl who was poked in the sore spot: "I am Yan Zhan. The Queen Elizabeth II ship... is not small because I thought it was small. I am also very upset about this matter!"

Seeing that War-weary's expression was gradually becoming agitated, Xia Bai, who felt something was wrong, hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Ms. War-weary, please calm down. I didn't mean to comment on your appearance, but I didn't expect you to be a battleship, so, so..."

"There is no point in saying more, let's get started." Interrupting Xia Bai's explanation, Yan Zhan picked up the giant sword with both hands, made a sword flower and stared at him fiercely.

However, even if he makes a vicious expression, War-weary does not look scary. Instead, he looks very cute, like a little adult.

Seeing that he seemed to have offended War-weary, Xia Bai had no choice but to prepare himself and signal Sheffield that he could announce the start of the competition.

"I'll go find her and explain everything to her face to face after the competition is over." With this in mind, he waited for the competition to begin.

He was a little surprised at first when he learned that Warspite was actually a battleship. For the Son of Prometheus, battleships were invalid targets, so Xia Bai was not sure when facing Warspite.

But later Xia Bai calmed down. He remembered that in the battle with the Breaker, he seemed to have broken the Breaker's armor.

Opportunities to engage in one-on-one close combat with a battleship like this are rare, so the outcome of the second match is no longer important to Xia Bai.

The most important thing now is to find out whether the Son of Prometheus can cause damage to the battleship, which may change their current predicament.

"The competition begins."

As Sheffield's voice fell, the atmosphere around War-weary changed, and Xia Bai felt a suffocating feeling.

The hair stood on end and he felt as if there were thorns on his back, just like a weak animal facing its natural enemy.

He felt the same way when facing Tempalans.

After taking a deep breath, Xia Bai did not rush to approach Zhan Yan. He was still carefully observing Zhan Yan's flaws.

"Aren't you going to attack?" Seeing Xia Bai was hesitant to take action, Yan Zhan smiled and greeted him, "Are you afraid?"

Xia Bai was stunned when he heard this.

War-weariness seized the opportunity and launched an attack.

"It's a bad habit to be distracted during a battle." As the voice came out, the greatsword turned into a stream of light and slashed down.

Feeling the sharp stinging of the sword wind, Xia Bai finally came to his senses and jumped on the spot to narrowly avoid the slash.

"Don't try to escape."

Upon seeing this, War-weary twisted his hands, forcibly changing the trajectory of the greatsword's attack and slashing it upwards with tremendous force.

Xia Bai was knocked flying, and with a sound of breaking through the air, he smashed through one wall after another and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Xia Bai!"

This scene was seen by Kewei who happened to arrive. After a scream, she immediately wanted to stop the fight, but was stopped by Hao who had been watching the show for a long time.

"Hao, let me go!" Kewei wanted to break free, but her strength was not enough to break free from Xia Bai, so how could she compare to Hao, who was a battleship.

"Kewei, don't get too excited. Your presence here will only make things worse." After suppressing Kewei, Hao nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, Yan Zhan is not serious. He let us off so obviously that we can't see it."

"Let it go? But..." After hearing Hao's words, Kewei was still a little worried.

"He just looks scary. You should know better than me that he is not an ordinary person." Hao continued, interrupting Ke'er's wild thoughts.

"Don't get involved in this battle. Don't worry, your 'little lover' will be fine." Then Hao looked at Kewei and smiled secretly.

Royal gossip is everywhere.

"Who is my 'little lover'! Hao, don't listen to Sister Shengli's nonsense. Xia Bai is just my friend... Yes, just a friend. He is only half a year old." Facing Hao's teasing, Kewei's cheeks turned red as she retorted loudly.

"..."

He silently let go of Kewei's hand and took two steps back without leaving any trace. He thought that Kewei was so cruel that he could even harm a half-year-old child.

Should we say that appearance is not the best way to judge a person? Hao originally just heard some gossip from Seungri and wanted to tease Kewei, but he didn't expect her rebuttal to be unconvincing and revealed such information.

Looking at the little face that was as shy as a red apple, Hao wondered whether he should send her to the confinement room to keep her company with another problematic person.

"Ahem, let's just continue watching the battle here." Pretending to cough twice to make Kewei pay attention to his image, Hao took out a small box from somewhere and blinked his green eyes.

"I have some homemade cookies here, would you like some?"

Chapter 27 Amazing acting skills

"This kind of reaction speed and strength... ahem, it's worthy of being a battleship." Xia Bai climbed up from the ground in a panic, groping for his chest that was hit with pain.

There was no obvious fracture, but it was just a little hard to breathe. That was not bad, Xia Bai thought that if he was hit like that, his chest would be directly concave. It seems that the body of the son of Prometheus is quite hard.

Looking around, he had no idea where he was. Xia Bai estimated that he must have broken through three or four walls and arrived at someone's room.

Secretly apologizing to the owner of the room, Xia Bai dusted himself off and found that his pajamas were already torn during the fight with Sirius, so he simply took them off and threw them on the ground.

click, click, click—

With the sound of boots hitting the ground, Yan Zhan walked out from the wall with a hole in it, and stopped when he saw Xia Bai with his upper body naked.

"You have a pretty good figure, with well-defined muscles and a mermaid line, but you should work on your strength."

Unlike other girls, Yan Zhan stroked her chin and commented on Xia Bai's figure. Then she threw the sword aside and said, "It's your turn to attack now."

There was disdain and contempt in his words.

Xia Bai was not easily angered, but stood there with full vigilance.

Although Xia Bai is a little stupid in daily life, he has an amazing talent in understanding combat. He can clearly sense the strong fighting spirit contained in the fluctuations of war-weariness.

Only Sirius would fall for such an obvious provocation.

But staying in the same place like this was not a solution, so Xia Bai looked around.

Different from the royal luxurious classical style, there is no gorgeous decoration. It is a relatively simple bedroom with a girlish style. There are a few maid-style clothes hanging on the hanger by the window.

Having a clear understanding of the situation, Xia Bai decided to take a gamble.

He was seen bending his right leg slightly and jumping high up, moving quickly like a spider on the bedroom ceiling, corners and all places where he could gain leverage, leaving a web-like crack wherever he stepped.

He is like a ghost and it is impossible to tell where he moves.

This way of moving was what he saw killer-type characters in anime use before he traveled through time. After traveling through time, he found that his body was very strong, so he tried it a few times while suffering from the second year syndrome.

However, after destroying several dormitories and being taught a lesson by RX-06, it was never used again. This way of moving has no advantages other than being cool and is very energy-consuming.

He had to use it in front of War-Yan because War-Yan's overall physical quality was much stronger than his. If they fought head-on, he would only be suppressed.

So he was gambling, betting that War-Yan was not as flexible nor as fast as him. After all, War-Yan's short legs couldn't be much faster.

"Your fighting style is quite unique, but there's no point in running around. You're going to hit me eventually."

"How will you know if you don't try?"
