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

Xia Bai followed what he said, put War-weary on the ground and considerately put her scarf under the back of her head, then walked up to Elizabeth and said, "Your Majesty, I won the second trial."

This time he learned his lesson and did not mention anything about the third trial. He lowered his head and waited for the queen's reply.

Placing the ice cream in her hand on the handle of the throne, Elizabeth waved her hand and let out a soft cry.

Belfast opened his ship's space and took out a wooden box. When he opened it, he saw sparkling red points all over.

"Here is the Queen's reward for completing two competitions. The third competition will be postponed. I hope you can understand." Belfast handed the box to Xia Bai sincerely.

Could this be the legendary red tip? Feeling the weight of the box, Xia Bai couldn't help but sigh. Usually, the son of Prometheus would search for oil, but he didn't expect to see this legendary resource today.

Xia Bai excitedly thanked Elizabeth, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. With this thing, he could repair RX-02 and contact his companions on the island.

"There are still important matters to discuss within the royal family. The rewards have been distributed. Mr. Xia Bai can go back and rest." Belfast smiled slightly and politely began to see the guest off, while giving Sheffield a wink.

Sheffield observed the situation and immediately stood up and said to Xia Bai in a cold voice: "Master...it's time for dinner now, please follow me." After that, he led the excited Xia Bai out of the hall.

"Sheffield calls Mr. Xia Bai master? Haha, that seems quite interesting~" Belfast keenly noticed that this was the second time Sheffield called him master, and her soft hands brushed against her pretty face.

But now is not the time to worry about such details. Belfast looked at the messy hall, Sirius's matter, breaking the hole in the room and the Prince of Wales setting up a gambling game. There were still many things she needed to do.

Chapter 32: Sheffield is about to capture

In the royal corridor, Xia Bai took out the box of Elizabeth's reward, weighed it, opened it and took a look at the red beads inside. It was dazzling and beautiful, and he could not get tired of looking at it. Just by touching it, he could feel the powerful energy contained in it.

With this legendary material, he can quickly repair the mecha and get in touch with everyone, and there will be a lot left to improve the living environment of the Sons of Prometheus. Glory and Awesome will also help him open up public opinion within the ship girls.

I think I have fulfilled my responsibilities as an elder brother and a senior, Xia Bai thought happily. The future of the son of Prometheus is no longer filled with gloom.

"Master, I understand that you are very happy after obtaining the supplies, but can you please pay attention to your manners?"

The cold voice interrupted Xia Bai's beautiful fantasy. Looking at Sheffield's strange eyes, Xia Bai closed the box and put it in the ship's space, clasping his hands together and apologizing to Sheffield.

"I'm sorry, I got too proud of myself after the first victory and didn't understand your feelings." After War-weary's advice, Xia Bai finally understood some ways of the world. He really shouldn't have proposed a second trial to Elizabeth at that time.

"That's not what I meant." Giving Xia Bai a helpless look, Sheffield took out a nightgown from the ship's space and put it on Xia Bai. Looking at the scars on his body, he said softly, "Master, please pay attention to your image. Don't just wear pants and smile foolishly. Otherwise, the expellees will think you are a pervert."

Feeling the comfortable and soft fabric of the nightgown and the faint scent of irises, Xia Bai's softest part of his heart was touched by the maid.

In just seven months since he traveled through time, he has experienced so much: betrayal, abandonment, powerlessness, death, suspicion... Xia Bai's life is surrounded by all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues. After being hurt, he can only huddle together with his brothers and sisters to lick each other's wounds.

As a combat unit developed by research, no one cares about their emotions, and no one cares about their deaths.

But now, a simple action from Sheffield made Xia Bai feel that he was cared for.

"Thank you."

An inaudible voice came from my ear. Sheffield answered while carefully helping Xia Bai to arrange her clothes: "No need to thank me. This is what a maid should do. It's just that the color may not suit the master's aesthetic taste. Be patient. Sheffield will tailor the clothes for you tonight."

After helping Xia Bai tie the knot on his belt, Sheffield clapped his hands.

"Okay...Master, what's wrong with you?" She noticed that Xia Bai's expression was a little strange.

"Nothing, just some emotion."

"Huh?" Sheffield cutely tilted his head to express his confusion.

"I feel that Sheffield is so cute, haha." Xia Bai quickly interrupted because he didn't want others to notice his embarrassing look.

"Can I understand that you are harassing me, Master?" Sheffield said calmly, holding his hands tightly against his chest, "After getting the supplies, Master can finally stop hiding his dirty desires and want to attack me?"

"You should have some expression on your face before you say something like that. I can tell from Sheffield that you haven't had any formal acting lessons."

"Master, are you referring to Miss Warspite's acting class? Maids don't need to learn that kind of thing."

Xia Bai was suddenly choked and speechless. He scratched his head and looked at Sheffield embarrassedly. It seemed that they had not concealed the fact that they had played a fake match from others. Was it because Yan Zhan's acting was too exaggerated?

"Master, your acting skills can't be hidden from many people. You can tell from the moment Miss Yan Zhan slapped you and sent you flying. She was simply letting you win."

Hearing this, Xia Bai asked Sheffield awkwardly, "Is it really that bad? Yan Zhan said that her acting is very good, but not everyone can see it."

"Miss War-weary has no scars on her body, she's just a little dusty. Besides, do you really think that no one can see your classic moves from The Lion King?" Sheffield shook his head, interrupting Xia Bai's hope.

“The Queen probably won’t pursue the matter of match-fixing, but…” Sheffield suddenly felt worried when he mentioned this.

The matter of match-fixing was a minor one. After all, the Queen just wanted the competition to end quickly. However, Sheffield himself did not place any bets on the gambling that emerged from it, but many of the excitement-seeking Royal Ship Girls lost a lot of money, especially the Prince of Wales.

Just counting Howe and King George V, she lost nearly 150,000 red tips. Even if she sold herself, she couldn't get so many red tips, not to mention the other bets that Xia Bai won.

Seeing Xia Bai's nervous face, Sheffield originally wanted to tell Xia Bai to be careful of the Prince of Wales, but then he thought that it would seem as if it was all Kewei who was fanning the flames, so what he said changed to asking Xia Bai to be more careful in the future.

Then he took the confused Xia Bai back to the temporary room where they were staying.

-------Royal Hall------

After dismissing all the onlookers, Belfast looked at the mess on the ground helplessly.

The hall is probably unusable for the time being, as it is covered in cracks and sharp scratches from swords. The most troublesome thing is the holes in the wall, and I don't know how many rooms are connected by them.

Belfast's head hurt even more when he thought of his capable assistants Dido and Sheffield who were currently busy and couldn't help him. As for his sister Edinburgh, it didn't make much difference whether she was there or not.

Originally, I didn't want to ask the former head maid Newcastle for help. After all, I had only been the head maid for a short time, and it would be too embarrassing to ask Newcastle for help so soon.

But under the current circumstances, I don't know how long it will take to repair it by myself. It would be great if the royal family had a high-tech repair ship like Akashi.

Thinking of this, Belfast's eyes turned to Elizabeth, who was sitting on the throne, swinging her legs and eating ice cream. It seemed that Her Majesty the Queen had put all her worries behind her and was enjoying her leisurely lunch break.

Forget it, forget it, she is the head maid after all, so Belfast walked up to Sirius, who was curled up on the ground with his knees hugged.

"What do you want to do next Sirius?"

Sirius raised his head, the tears on his hollow eyes were not yet dry. He looked at Belfast and buried his head between his knees, ignoring him.

It seems that being eliminated from the Queen's Guard was a heavy blow to Sirius, and even the only recognized identity was taken away. But it must be said that Sirius's character was too extreme, and he had expressed his war-weariness to the Queen countless times.

But at present, we need to find a meaning for Sirius' existence, an identity recognized by everyone. Thinking of this, Belfast asked tentatively.

"Interested in doing the same thing as Dido?"

Chapter 33: War-weariness: No one can stop my dream

Watching Sirius leave, Belfast felt that she was still too anxious. She would definitely not be able to accept Sirius being a maid all of a sudden.

Perhaps he should still discuss it with War-weary. After all, Sirius was like a walking corpse now and he couldn't just leave her like that. Making up his mind, Belfast looked towards War-weary's position.

But the Warspite that was supposed to be lying on the ground had already disappeared, leaving only ruins and gravel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, have you seen Warspite?" Belfast tried to seek an answer from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, who was dozing on the throne, shuddered when she heard the question and squinted her eyes and said, "War-weary, I just saw her go out with the others, and she seemed very happy."

"Let's not worry about that for now... I'm a little sleepy, please take me back to the bedroom." After saying that, he closed his eyes and opened his hands.

Belfast understood what was going on and stepped forward to hug Elizabeth and carry her back to the bedroom. It seemed that these things could not be rushed and could only be done slowly.

-----------------

Xia Bai relaxed in the bathtub, enjoying the hard-earned bath time. He really didn't notice that this room was equipped with such a large bathtub. According to Sheffield, every room has one. Xia Bai could only deeply envy such a generous and luxurious behavior.

'Boom dong dong'

"Master, I'm going to prepare lunch for you. The clothes for changing are on the chair outside." Sheffield's voice came from outside the door. Even through the opaque glass door, Xia Bai could vaguely see the slim figure of the maid.

Xia Bai thought that Sheffield might do something strange while he was taking a bath. After all, the maid had experienced this before. But he didn't expect that after confirming the water temperature, she went to make lunch.

"I understand. Thank you, Sheffield." Xia Bai replied while lazily soaking in the bathtub.

Sheffield bent down, hesitated for a moment and continued, "Master, I know you are very happy to have obtained the supplies, but please do not lend them to New Jersey and conduct exercises with her."

Sheffield was a little worried that this stupid man would become arrogant and go to New Jersey to do something stupid. You know, New Jersey is a big consumer of supplies. He has traveled around the world for so long without any savings and has to borrow supplies everywhere to continue traveling.

Most of the materials that were loaned out never returned, so she was blacklisted by many naval bases and Azur Lane. But New Jersey has a good personality and is beautiful, and her strength is just as she claims, the strongest in the world.

Even so, some garrisons were happy to lend her supplies, hoping that New Jersey would join them.

It would be fine if Xia Bai was cheated of supplies, but if he really couldn't figure it out and went to the exercise with New Jersey, he might be killed if he was not careful, so the kind maid specifically reminded Xia Bai.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I know very well how powerful New Jersey is. I won't go looking for her."

After hearing Xia Bai's reply, Sheffield nodded, turned and left the room.

After making sure there was no movement outside the door, Xia Bai buried his head in the water, spit out a series of bubbles, and muttered to himself.

"New Jersey...?"

Sheffield's words just now reminded him of something. It seemed that New Jersey was short of supplies, and it pitifully asked Sheffield to borrow them, and also asked him to help him deal with Templars.

It was impossible for him to conduct an exercise with New Jersey, not in his lifetime. He couldn't even defeat War-weary, so how could he conduct an exercise with that powerful Miss Rabbit? However, if he lent New Jersey some supplies, she would not refuse when he went to trouble Tempalans.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Use supplies to attract New Jersey, use mechas to attract Warspite, and I have a good relationship with the Glorious and Awesome... Well, maybe I can add Sheffield, and then bring the Sons of Prometheus along.

It seems like big brother’s revenge can be avenged?

Xia Baiteng stood up from the water in an instant. It was better to take action than to just think. Why take a bath anymore? He quickly repaired his mecha and went to find Zhan Yan to form a team to attack Tianpalansi.

Time stop, shield, powerful firepower, plus the Sons of Prometheus' ability to crush light Sirens, and now they have discovered a way to cause damage to heavy armor.

Wuhu, take off!

In his mind, he was almost thinking about sinking the Templars to comfort the soul of RX-01.

"Xia Bai, are you there?"

The sudden voice interrupted Xia Bai's fantasy. He immediately sat in the bathtub again, splashing a large amount of water, and shouted at the bathroom door: "Who is it?"

"I am War-weary, and Dreadful came with me."

Tired of war? Terrible? The pillow was delivered just when I was about to take a nap. I was about to go find them but they showed up right away. Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xia Bai quickly replied, "I'm taking a shower and will be there soon."

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Yan Zhan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then I'll wait for you." Then he sat on the chair and waited quietly for Xia Bai to come out.

Originally, War-weary was lying in the Royal Hall and continuing to show off his acting skills. He closed his eyes for a long time and found that he didn't hear any movement, so he quietly opened one eye to observe.

My goodness, almost everyone had left. She was anxious, so she got up on tiptoe and blended into the crowd with her short legs. No one could stop her dream, no one!

Maybe because he was too petite, or because everyone else was distracted by gambling, his war-weary behavior was not noticed and he successfully left the hall.

After coming out, she wanted to go directly to Xia Bai and wait for him to repair the mecha, but she didn't know which room Xia Bai lived in, so she wandered around like a headless fly. At this moment, she happened to see the lifeless Kewei walking past her blankly.

So Yan Zhan pulled Ke Wei to come to Xia Bai.

Five minutes later, the bathroom door opened a little, and Xia Bai's hand stretched out.

"Well, the clothes Sheffield prepared for me are on the chair outside. Can you pass them to me?" There was some embarrassment in his voice.

After hearing this, Yan Zhan found the clothes on the chair, picked them up and looked at them, and asked curiously: "Are you sure it's the clothes on the chair?"

"Yes, Sheffield told me that the clothes were on the chair. Is there anything wrong?" Xia Bai seemed to realize something was wrong.

According to Sheffield and myself, the royal family had no male visitors in the past, so all their clothes were women's. Could this dress be a skirt or something like that?

If that's the case, I'd rather stay in the bathroom and not go out.

Chapter 34 I was smart and stopped asking immediately

"Xia Bai, are you dressed? There's no need to waste time." The clothes had been sent in for more than ten minutes, and seeing that Xia Bai hadn't come out yet, Yanzhan urged him impatiently.

In the bathroom, Xia Bai tied his tie into a knot and pulled it up. It felt wrong, so he simply took it off and put it in his pocket, then opened the door and walked out.

"Okay, okay, this dress is really hard to wear... Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Bai found that Yan Zhan's gaze was a little strange, so he carefully checked himself, then turned his head to try to see if there was anything wrong behind him.

There was nothing strange about the clothes except that they were a little tight. She didn't know where Sheffield found this neutral clothes for her. It was really difficult for her.

"Is it because the clothes don't fit?" Xia Bai, who was somewhat concerned about this, asked.

"No, I just feel...how should I put it? You feel like a different person wearing this black tuxedo, completely different from before." Yan Zhan looked at Xia Bai for a moment and then responded.

It is indeed true that clothes make the man, and gold ornaments make the Buddha. After changing his clothes, Xia Bai formed a sharp contrast with his previous appearance when he fought with himself. Yanzhan felt that he was very elegant now.

"You're very handsome, but it would be better if you fixed your hair." With a bright smile, War-weary gave a thumbs up.

"Really? I think it's just average." Xia Bai was secretly delighted by Yan Zhan's compliment, but he still waved his hand modestly. Then he walked directly to the bed and sat down. He unbuttoned his collar and let out a long sigh.

This kind of formal attire is too uncomfortable for Xia Bai to wear; he prefers looser clothes.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Kewei." Seeing that Xia Bai didn't quite believe what he said, Yan Zhan threw the question to Kewei.

But Kewei's face was pale now, and he was obviously absent-minded, and he didn't hear what Yanzhan said.

Xia Bai also noticed this. He was a little puzzled. When he was with Kewei, he felt that she was very talkative, but today she just sat there without saying a word.

"Terrible, terrible?"

Facing other people's questions, Kewei ignored them and just moved his lips, immersed in his own world, as if he was possessed by evil spirits.

Seeing that Xia Bai was about to call Kewei's name, Yanzhan quickly grabbed him, smiled awkwardly and whispered: "Don't call her, her condition has something to do with us." Seeing that Xia Bai was still puzzled, Yanzhan continued: "We faked the match today and made Kewei and many others lose a huge amount of money."
