And now, when Xia Bai questioned her purpose, Belfast did not feel aggrieved, but just explained everything clearly with a smile.
"It turns out that my core was damaged from the beginning. My mental problems were caused by my impending death. My mental energy began to dissipate..."
After listening to Belfast's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, Xia Bai seemed a little unhappy and said, "Why don't you just tell me these things directly? Why do you have to do it so strangely?"
Gently wiping the sweat off Xia Bai's forehead with a handkerchief, Beifa said softly, "I'm very sorry. Kaga and Jiang Feng were not included in my original plan. I used such drastic measures to prevent the news of your death from spreading."
"I learned about the problem with the core from TB yesterday, but she didn't tell me that it could kill people...Akashi, be gentle, this examination device of yours hurts me so much."
Carefully recording the data on the instrument, Ming Shitou said without replying, "Commander, please be patient. After all, this instrument was made by Mingshi overnight, so some parts are not perfect yet."
"Is this thing really useful? Wouldn't it be better for me to find an open space and directly deploy the RX-02?" Xia Bai thought that the instrument that Akashi made overnight was not very reliable.
"It must be useful. This is a simple device made by Akashi based on the equipment at the research institute."
"Simplified device? Why do I feel it's even less reliable? It didn't hurt that much when I was in the research institute, and my whole body was hot."
Scratching his ear, Akashi scribbled on the paper for a while, then replied helplessly, "It's useful if it's useful. Commander, don't keep asking. Let Akashi observe the data changes carefully."
Hearing this, Xia Bai immediately gave up the idea of asking further questions and turned his attention to Belfast: "Why did you go after Essex? Did she do anything particularly abominable?"
"It doesn't matter what Essex did, if you die, she has to die, that was our unanimous vote."
"Can't understand."
"Then you don't have to worry about these troubles. I have already asked Kaohsiung and the others to come back. If you are in good health, just treat it as a misunderstanding."
Finding that Befa didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, Xia Bai pursed his lips and said, "Well, I don't want to get involved in this matter anyway. As long as Essex is not really killed, it's fine. I can only say that she is unlucky.
"I remember St. Louis telling me about someone he loved, and that made me a little curious about what Essex looked like."
"I still suggest you don't get curious about her...it's better for everyone if you don't see each other."
"I still don't understand. Stop saying these incomprehensible things."
Seeing Xia Bai's stupid look, saying, "I don't understand anything, please speak to me properly," Belfast chuckled and said, "How about this, let's make a bet?"
Before Xia Bai could respond, Belfast said to himself, "If you are still alive when Barton Bryan is tried in court-martial, I will agree to one condition of yours. Either you become my master or I serve you."
"On the other hand, if you are already dead by then, you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Looking at the other person's delicate face in confusion, Xia Bai said with emotion: "In order to make me want to live, Beifa, you really are 'unscrupulous'..."
"Of course, in order to keep you alive, Belfa racked her brains." Belfa said with distress, and blinked playfully, "So do you accept it? It's not often that you can make a profit without losing money~"
It was not until now that Xia Bai discovered that this royal head maid was so adorable, and one of the conditions she mentioned reminded him of my wife.
The same condition was used as the bet, and the same person could see through him, but he lost that time. But he wanted to bet again this time, because he didn't believe that he would really die suddenly.
Xia Bai raised his lips and put on a confident smile. He slowly said, "Why not bet? I will never die, especially if my core is damaged, which is a ridiculous way to die."
"Until I see a happy future with Shinano and the others, I firmly believe that I can overcome all deaths."
"Befa, just wash yourself and be ready to call me master like Sheffield does."
Chapter 180 The Reason for Fighting
"Well..."
After the examination, Akashi paced back and forth beside the bed with the data she had recorded, sometimes sighing, sometimes thinking.
This action made Xia Bai, who was originally not very concerned, become nervous. He swallowed his saliva and said anxiously: "Why are you still mumbling? Just tell me when you have the result. You are making me nervous."
The cat ears drooped weakly. Akashi pointed to the data sheet filled with dense symbols on his hand and answered hesitantly: "The instrument detected that the commander's core was damaged, and Akashi also calculated it. It will probably be in the next few days..."
"But now the damaged core seems to have been temporarily repaired, so it's not that serious. If there is no fierce battle, there probably won't be any problems."
Slowly walking to Xia Bai's side, Akashi looked up and stared into his eyes, and continued with embarrassment: "Although the commander may not agree, Akashi still wants you to give up the fight."
"This is for the good of everyone in the Sakura Empire. If the commander dies because of this, Akashi knows that a minister cannot serve two masters..."
Xia Bai understood the meaning of the other party's words very well. As for the radical ship girls of the Sakura Empire, most of them would choose to sink themselves after his death, while a small number would continue to wander on the sea until the day they sank.
It’s not that his bond with the Sakura Empire is so deep, but that most of the Sakura Empire’s ship girls are just so sick.
The most dangerous one among them is Akagi. God knows whether she will come up with the idea of dragging the whole world to be buried with her after her death.
If you fight you can't live, if you live you can't fight. Just as Akashi said, for the sake of everyone in the Sakura Empire, Xia Bai is better off choosing the latter and being an 'ordinary' commander with good physique and great strength from now on.
But can he really choose this? He has great power, but he lets his ship girls fight bloody battles on the front line, and then waits anxiously for their triumphant return.
Recalling everything he had experienced along the way, Xia Bai fell into a dilemma, while Beifa and Akashi looked at him eagerly, waiting for the result of his choice.
"Thank you, Befa and Akashi, for doing so much for me. I'm sorry."
Belfast was very excited after getting the answer. He turned over and sat on Xia Bai, pulled up his collar and asked: "Obviously this world doesn't need you to save it. Obviously this world has given you so much pain."
"If you don't continue fighting, you can easily win the bet and live as an ordinary commander."
"Why do we have to fight for someone who has nothing to do with us..."
The expression on his face was extremely sad, with crystal tears falling from the corners of his eyes. Belfast at this moment was completely different from his former self, appearing so hysterical.
"Maybe it's because I still have a reason to fight. After all, there is still a big fox waiting for me to save."
"Besides, aren't you shipgirls always fighting for people who have nothing to do with you?"
Looking at the calm smile on the man in front of her, Belfast was stunned. Then she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears on his chest.
Ship girls are all emotional creatures, and Belfast is no exception. No matter how rational she is in her daily life, everything she does is for the benefit of the royal family.
But now she really couldn't help it, and chose to give up the hope of living, just to fight for others, never considering herself, this is really...
"That's really stupid, isn't it?"
Understanding Beifa's thoughts from his mental fluctuations, Xia Bai blinked slyly, and then said in a gentle voice: "I admit that I am not very smart, and even a little stupid."
"I can't read the air, I can't understand the atmosphere, and I'm incredibly lazy. I even need Sheffield to help me with things like washing clothes. But even if I'm like this, they still like me."
"So it's not that I never thought about myself, on the contrary, everything I have done so far has been for myself."
"Completing the revenge on the military will make me happy. Saving Shinano will also make me happy. In the end, no matter what we fight for, the purpose is to comfort ourselves psychologically."
"So there is no such thing as not considering yourself and only thinking about others. You have to know that even if a licker doesn't get any results, he can still be moved by himself, and this self-movement is the motivation for them to keep licking."
After hearing Xia Bai's words, Befa seemed to calm down, wiped away his tears, and untied Xia Bai's mechanical shackles.
"It's a farce... but it's also one of your strengths."
After adjusting her clothes, Belfast resumed her usual formal smile, lifted the hem of her skirt and bent down.
"I'm so sorry for being so rude. I want to witness your theory of purpose with my own eyes, so..."
"I am Belfast, a maid. From now on, I will dedicate my life to you. Of course, I need the master to win the bet before I can sleep with you (laughs)."
After moving his wrists a few times, Xia Bai stood up and sat on the bed with the help of Beifa, saying helplessly: "If I take away the head royal maid, Elizabeth will definitely kill me."
Facing Xia Bai's worries, Beifa said in a gentle voice: "Her Majesty the Queen is magnanimous and will not do such an extreme thing."
"And if it weren't for the Sakura Empire using despicable means while Ajax was away, I think the master would be the Royal Commander now."
God knows how they were brought down by Shokaku at that time. Ajax had already made up his mind to make Xia Bai the commander in a while and tie him up in the Royal Family forever.
But at that critical moment, Elizabeth and Belfer were fooled by Shokaku and easily agreed to lend the person to Sakura Empire, but the other party had no intention of returning the person.
War-weariness was even more outrageous. When Ajax came back to question her why she didn't stop him, she said, "Robbery is part of the Gundam. If you don't agree, don't play."
Ajax was so angry that she almost died on the spot. If she really couldn't beat Warspite, she really wanted to give this guy who was obsessed with Gundam a good beating.
It can be said that Belfast has a deep resentment towards the Sakura Empire, especially the live broadcast of the opponent's commander, which made everyone else angry to death except for the heartless Elizabeth.
Seeing that there was a strong sense of complaint in Beifa's words, Xia Bai smiled guiltily and didn't intend to respond. This matter was indeed not very authentic on his part.
But Akashi got furious on the spot, waving his hands and saying, "Befa, don't lie. What do you mean we Sakura Empire used despicable means?"
"You don't want someone yourselves, but you don't allow us to accept him?"
Chapter 181 Maid's Close Surveillance
Seeing that Mingshi's tail was standing up and she took out a wrench from her sleeve, Xia Bai hurriedly hugged her and persuaded her kindly.
"Befa is just talking, why are you doing this, Akashi?"
Originally, I thought that since I had already given up, Akashi would back down. After all, she, a maintenance ship, was no match for a light cruiser.
But who would have thought that Akashi would get even angrier after hearing what Xia Bai said, and turned around and asked angrily: "Commander, which side are you on, meow? Do you think that we, the Sakura Empire, used despicable means to snatch you away?"
Aren't you clear whether it is despicable or not? Why do you need me to think...
Complaining about Mingshi's angry behavior in his heart, Xia Bai said calmly: "I'm on Naizi's side. Mingshi, you are not good enough. Go find Dafeng."
"Hmph, Commander, you are just prejudiced. You are coveting Befa's body..." With a cold snort, Akashi also understood that Xia Bai did not want to dwell on this matter.
Then he picked up a wrench and knocked on his forehead, saying seriously: "The damaged core Akashi will take some time to fix, Commander, don't fight with others recently."
"Especially for monsters like the Supreme and the Arbiter, once they continue to develop a form like Tsukuyomi, the core that was originally urgently repaired by TB will be damaged again."
"Akashi doesn't want to see the Commander's lifeless body, understand meow?"
Seeing the serious expression of the profiteer cat, Xia Bai reached out and ruffled her emerald green hair, and said with a smile: "Akashi said so, of course I understand, the Supreme and the Arbitrator are not cabbages, how can it be so easy to bump into each other..."
"Even if you run into the commander, you can't do it, otherwise Akashi will have Kaohsiung take you back to the Sakura Empire today."
"Yes, yes, you have the final say, Akashi. I understand why people are afraid of seeing a doctor."
But Akashi still refused to give in. She insisted that Xia Bai sign a letter of guarantee, put an energy monitoring device on him, and demanded that the authority of RX-02 be opened to her.
It’s not that Akashi doesn’t trust Xia Bai, but she knows her commander too well. Tolerance just appeared in Fulk City the day before yesterday, and who knows what strange things will happen tomorrow.
With Xia Bai's personality, if he ever saw Qian Gong again, he would definitely forget all these things, drive the RX-02 forward and fight with the opponent for three hundred rounds.
If he gains access to RX-02, even if Xia Bai wants to fight the enemy to the death, he won't be able to do anything once Akashi pulls the start switch.
Faced with the conditions demanded by Akashi, Xia Bai seemed very embarrassed. He didn't think he would die at all. This was too funny. But Akashi and Beifa looked so serious, and he didn't want to make them worry anymore, so he started bargaining.
Xia Bai could agree to other things, but he didn't want to give the authority to RX-02. The main reason was that he was afraid that when he was having the best of it, Akashi would see the violent reaction of the energy and block the energy output of RX-02.
If this situation really happens, wouldn’t we just turn off the power?
Akashi argued with reason, as if to say, "If you don't give me the authority today, I will let Kaohsiung and the others take you back to Sakura Empire."
Just as the two of them were arguing and their faces were red, Beifa reminded them, "How about this, from today on, I will be responsible for the master's daily life."
"First, it can be used as surveillance, reporting the master's situation to Akashi at any time. Second, it can also prevent the master from getting carried away and fighting with others. What do you think, Akashi?"
Touching his round and smooth chin, Akashi's little ears wiggled and he said unwillingly: "Hmm...it seems to make some sense, meow."
Although she was very dissatisfied with what Befa had just said, she had also seen the other party's current attitude. If Befa was the one to monitor Xia Bai, Mingshi could naturally rest assured.
Then tell Dafeng about the seriousness of the matter and ask her to observe secretly. As a double insurance, this will ensure that Xia Bai will be stopped if he wants to take action.
After a little thought, Akashi agreed to Belfast's suggestion and told the other party not to let Xia Bai do whatever he wanted.
As for whether Xia Bai himself had any resistance to this, the two of them said that it was good enough to be alive, so there was no point in resisting.
Seeing that the two of them were openly discussing how many eavesdropping devices to place in front of him, Xia Bai's mouth twitched and he said hesitantly: "Befa, you have to take care of Elizabeth and monitor me at the same time. Aren't you too busy?"
"I think we can let Sirius come, after all, she is also a maid now..."
But how could Xia Bai's little calculations be hidden from the perfect and elegant head maid? She immediately rejected Xia Bai's suggestion and said lightly: "Sirius listens to the master in everything. If you meet an enemy, she will only fight alongside you."
Let Sirius monitor Xia Bai? Are you kidding me? Doesn't Belfast know this stupid maid who can do nothing but fight?
The other party was the master who was trained by her maid, and given Sirius's personality, he was the one who cared the least about Xia Bai's life or death.
For Sirius, her feelings for Xia Bai had long surpassed the boundary between life and death. If Xia Bai died, she would not be sad, but would just sink to the bottom of her body with an expressionless face, and continue to follow the back of her proud master.
Thinking of Sirius, Befa couldn't help but reveal a strange expression. In addition to helplessness, he also felt a little embarrassed.
"As a guard, Sirius is undoubtedly excellent, but as a maid, I can only give her a passing score, considering how hard she works."
"Although the purpose is to monitor the master, she is also responsible for taking care of your daily life. However, Sirius can't even take care of herself."
"Befa will explain to the Queen, so please don't worry about it, Master."
Since the other party had already said so, Xia Bai could only nod and agree with Belfast's suggestion to take care of his daily life.
The two of them didn't leave him any loopholes, so what else could he do? If he dared to reject Belfast's suggestion, Akashi would ask him for the authority of RX-02.
Between two evils, choose the lesser evil. Rather than letting Akashi switch off the power freely and independently, Xia Bai still thinks it is better to let Belfast monitor him.
Although your freedom may be restricted, it is still much better than fighting with a guilty conscience.
After the two of them had discussed the details of the surveillance work, Akashi took the equipment and left the room. There was no time to lose, she had to try to find a way to save her commander.
Belfast stayed, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes that made Xia Bai's scalp tingle.
