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

"Um, do you mean that we should join Azur Lane?" Xia Bai seemed to have grasped the key point. He wanted them to cling to Azur Lane.

"What I mean is that we can refer to Azur Lane and develop into a neutral force with a say! I really admire you, you idiot."

After hearing what RX-03 said, Xia Bai suddenly realized what she meant. He didn't care that his third sister called him a fool. After all, he was used to it. He complimented her, "A real man lives in the world, how can he stay in two or three places for a long time? Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. I understand."

"Alright, alright, stop interrupting me, hurry up and finish. I still have to tell others that you are not dead." Ignoring his second brother's compliment, RX-03 continued to ask, "Who have you been close to during your time in the Royal Family?"

"Glorious, Awesome, and Sheffield, right? War-weary can also be counted?" Facing his own brain, Xia Bai told it all, although he only thought that they had a good relationship.

"Of course. You've become good friends with so many people in just a few days. Weren't you quite quiet on the island?" RX-03 was a little surprised when she heard that. Her second brother had always been a bit withdrawn, and it got even worse after RX-01's death. He could lie in one place all day and no one knew what he was thinking about.

She really didn't know that Xia Bai could socialize with so many ship girls and have such a good relationship with them. The Glory was a formidable old aviation battleship. She had also heard of the Royal Family's war-weariness. A guardian knight with great military exploits, he probably had a lot of say in the Royal Family.

Wait, maybe her naive and foolish second brother was bewitched and deceived by the women of the Royal Navy, otherwise he would not be able to get along well with others with his personality? RX-03 had doubts in her heart and asked tentatively: "Second brother, who do you think is the most beautiful among them?"

Xia Bai really needed to think carefully about this question. The figures of Gentle Guanghui and Playful Kewei appeared in his mind but were quickly replaced by an expressionless maid.

When did he start to have such a deep affection for Sheffield? They had only been together for one day, so Xia Bai himself had no idea. Perhaps it was when Sheffield gave him resource coins, put on his pajamas, and prepared lunch for him and cut his clothes.

The maid always understood his thoughts and took care of him meticulously. Although she sometimes looked at him with a scumbag look, Sheffield was also very cute like this.

Scratching his face, Xia Bai twisted around in the cockpit for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "This, hehe..."

It's aborted! The apparent leader of the Son of Prometheus was fascinated by the woman of the Royal Ship. As the actual leader, RX-03 couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Forget it, you don't need to say anything now. I will come to the Royal Family to see for myself which ship girl is so attractive."

"You're coming to the Royal Family?!" The tone rose and was full of disbelief. Xia Bai felt that this matter was indeed a bit surprising. He could just go back. What was the purpose of his third sister coming to the Royal Family? However, RX-03's next words dispelled Xia Bai's surprise.

"Yes, I will come to the Royal Family to discuss an alliance. You are popular, right? Go talk to the leader of the Royal Family about my visit."

"There are no miracles in this world. There are only coincidences or inevitabilities, and what someone did. In order for the Son of Prometheus to truly live in this world, we must take the initiative to seek allies."

"Don't have such naive and ridiculous fantasies, my stupid second brother. You always think that I am too weak to be so cozy with the military, but if we directly break off relations with them, our situation will become even worse."

Xia Bai was speechless after being told by RX-03. Perhaps his idea was a little naive. He had never thought about how they would survive after the falling out.

Xia Bai paused for a while, put his hands on the operating table, and said hoarsely: "How can you be sure that the Royal Family will ally with us?"

An alliance cannot be formed just out of pity for them. Both sides need to gain certain benefits. Now the sons of Prometheus have nothing. After the alliance is formed, only they will benefit unilaterally. Xia Bai thinks there is little hope.

"We work hard for the Royal Family in exchange for support. If the Royal Family doesn't work, there are still the White Eagles, the Iron Bloods, and the Sakura Empire. Even if we are considered as highly mobile light cruisers specialized in light armor, there are still more than 50 of them. I don't believe that no one would be willing to ally with us in the face of such a force."

"Besides, you also said, second brother, that we have found a way to deal with the heavy sirens. Although we still need to try, this is also a big bargaining chip."

It seems that RX-03 has had this idea for more than a day or two, but he only told it to himself today when he had the chance.

Alliance? Although it sounds like a fantasy, it is practical. It doesn't matter who you work for. Compared with others, Xia Bai still believes that the Royal Navy will not lead the Sons of Prometheus into the abyss.

"I agree. I will speak to the Queen of the Royal Family about this tomorrow."

"Then I'll go discuss it with others now. I'll leave first." Seeing that Xia Bai was convinced by him, RX-03 Lei Lingfeng immediately began to prepare for the alliance.

"Wait, RX-03, you should be able to grasp the degree of alliance, don't go too far." On the one hand, this is to remind RX-03 not to be too pushy, and on the other hand, it is also to let her not be too tolerant.

RX-03 had never heard his second brother speak to him in such a serious tone. He was startled and replied, "Don't worry, I will be prepared."

"It's good that you know. There's one more thing—"

Hearing this, RX-03 held his breath, trying to listen carefully to what Xia Bai wanted to advise him. Xia Bai changed his tone and said in an embarrassed tone.

"Bring me some cigarettes when you come, I'm afraid..."

"Get lost!" RX-03 said angrily and turned off the communication.

'Ding--'

The dim cockpit was filled with the sound of the communication being hung up and Xia Bai, who was full of confusion.

Chapter 38: Royal Stormy Night...Why did the style change?

Putting away the RX-02, Xia Bai lit a cigarette and started puffing smoke on the shore.

Although he has seen the sky over the sea many times, Xia Bai still thinks it is very beautiful. It has not been polluted by modern technology. Looking up, he can see the starry sky, as if he is in a dream. The stars spread their light all over the earth, whether it is bright or vivid.

Quietly admiring the night sky, Xia Bai stretched out his hand upwards, as if trying to grab something and squeeze it hard.

In the past, he always felt that the future of the son of Prometheus was as shining as the stars but out of reach. However, now the road to the future is not so far away, and he can grasp it firmly as long as he reaches out his hand.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and a drizzle began to fall from the sky, dripping onto Xia Bai's shoulders, and it seemed to be getting heavier. He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it on the ground, then turned around and returned to the royal palace.

In the royal corridor, Xia Bai looked through the window at the pouring rain and the howling wind outside, and was glad that he did not stay for too long and returned in time.

Although I won't get sick after being caught in a heavy rain, I will still feel uncomfortable, and I will have to trouble Sheffield to dry my clothes for me tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai stopped and looked around in confusion.

"I think I've been here before." Touching his chin, Xia Bai took out the route map. He still overestimated his ability to find the way or the complexity of the royal environment.

"Turn here, turn left after seeing the last room and go up the stairs...where are the stairs?" Looking at the empty wall, Xia Bai returned the same way and tried to follow the route map again.

After going around in circles, he found himself back to where he started, and he was dumbfounded.

"Am I lost?" Xia Bai, who didn't believe in evil, wanted to leave the palace again and come back in to try again, but he couldn't find the exit after searching for a long time. Now, let alone going back to the room to rest, he didn't even know where he was and was completely lost in the royal palace.

After walking around for a few times, Xia Bai put away the route map and decided to shamelessly knock on doors in the middle of the night to see if there were any female Bodhisattvas who had not yet rested and could help. However, there was no response after he knocked on several doors in a row.

"Maybe they are all asleep, so it's better not to disturb them." With this thought in mind, Xia Bai looked at his watch. It was already two o'clock in the morning, so he gave up knocking on the door and continued to look for the way.

Suddenly, all the chandeliers on the ceiling went out, and Xia Bai fell into darkness. The only sound that could be heard in the silent corridor was the sound of wind and rain outside.

The sudden change caused some subtle changes in Xia Bai's heart. Could there be something dirty in the royal family?

Although he is a materialist and does not believe in these superstitious things, the world itself is not very scientific. No matter how materialistic one is, he will become idealistic after staying in it for a long time.

The more Xia Bai thought about this, the more frightened he became. He swallowed and began to move forward cautiously, hoping to meet Sheffield. However, the maid was sleeping soundly at this time and did not appear in front of him as he wished.

After a while, Xia Bai found a half-open door in the distance, with a dim light coming out of it. Seeing this, he cursed himself for thinking too much and scaring himself all day long. How could there be dirty things in the royal family? Then he quickly ran towards the light.

But the closer Xia Bai got to the door, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt that the light was not like a lamp, but more like fire. You know, every room in the royal family has chandeliers and table lamps, and who would have nothing better to do than light some firewood in the middle of the night?

Faced with such an unusual thing, Xia Bai's pace became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely.

He heard some strange sounds, not the sound of the wind, nor the sound of heavy rain, but like someone was saying something, so Xia Bai held his breath and listened attentively.

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..." The sad and mournful crying voice came faintly from the door.

Xia Bai's hair stood up immediately, and his heart sank. It seemed that he was attracted by the fire and got hit. It was not just a dirty thing, but a female ghost.

The cry was shrill and miserable, as if she had been treated unfairly, complaining bitterly about the cruelty of the world. This was not just a female ghost, but a fucking evil ghost!

"Move, my legs, why don't you move!" Xia Bai wanted to escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move at all.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and since you won't let me go, I'm here." Xia Bai was determined and dragged his legs slowly towards the door. If anything went wrong, he was ready to deploy the RX-02 immediately.

He just didn't believe that this female ghost could withstand his 203mm continuous-fire artillery. At worst, there was still a 150mm penetrating beam. If the other party really wanted to harm him, huh, it was still unclear who would win!

Thinking that he had RX-02, Xia Bai became bolder and leaned close to the crack in the door to observe secretly.

Because the fire was not very bright, one could only vaguely see the debris and messy furnishings on the ground. It looked somewhat familiar, but the female ghost who made the crying sound did not see it.

Maybe it was because his legs were stiff and the blood had not circulated, Xia Bai pushed the door open unsteadily, making a creaking sound.

In an instant, the candles in the room were extinguished and the crying sound disappeared.

"You are still hiding at this time. Why don't you just take revenge and complain? Why don't you be honest with each other?" Seeing that the door had been pushed open by him inadvertently, Xia Bai walked in frankly.

He had lived an upright life, had never done anything wrong, and had never harmed anyone. Xia Bai believed that if he could appeal to her emotions and reason, the ghost girl would be able to understand him.

Just after Xia Bai entered the room, the door behind him slammed shut with a sound.

Seeing this, Xia Baili thought to himself that it seemed that this could not end peacefully. He also understood what the other party meant. Only one person/ghost could walk out of this room tonight.

Then he prepared for battle. In the pitch-black environment, he relied on the starlight outside the window to observe carefully, looking for the location of the female ghost.

At this moment, he sensed a strange mental fluctuation in his mind.

"Do female ghosts also have mental fluctuations? Oh no, she's behind me!" After carefully identifying the position, Xia Bai immediately turned around to meet the enemy.

‘Boom! ’

Thunder roared, and the pale lightning instantly illuminated the room. Xia Bai also saw a pair of enchanting rose-pink eyes staring at him.

"Wow!!"

"what!!"

Both of them were startled by each other and both fell to the ground, using their hands and feet to move backwards.

"I'm warning you, I'm just passing by, I haven't done anything harmful, if you really make me angry, you'll suffer the consequences."

"Wuwuwu, don't eat Dido, Dido doesn't taste good...wuwuwu."

Both parties seemed to realize something after they finished speaking. After a moment of silence, they stared at each other in the dark room.

Chapter 39 Unlucky Dido

After hesitating for a while, Xia Bai, still frightened, recalled what the girl had just said and asked, "Are you Dido?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Dido stood up and looked carefully at Xia Bai's face. She exclaimed and bowed repeatedly to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Dido didn't recognize you... Please forgive me Dido."

Xia Bai finally felt relieved upon seeing this. He held his chest and took a deep breath. It turned out to be a ship girl. He thought it was some dirty thing and it almost scared him to death in the middle of the night.

"I should be the one to apologize. I'm sorry for scaring you."

"No, it's all Dido's fault. Please don't tell Belfast about this." Dido ignored Xia Bai's words with a crying voice and continued to apologize humbly.

Listening to Dido's voice, Xia Bai felt like a heinous bully bullying a good girl. Was his image in the royal family so bad? It was obviously he who accidentally broke into Dido's room, but she kept apologizing to him.

Just when Xia Bai didn't know what to do, he suddenly remembered that Sirius was also a Dido-class light cruiser. No matter what happened to Sirius today, it was more or less related to himself.

Originally, many people lost money because of his match-fixing with War-Yan, and now he has offended Dido. To round it off, he has offended all of Dido's level. How can he form an alliance with the Royal Family if this continues?

Thinking of this, Xia Bai stepped forward and pressed Dido's shoulders to stop her from bowing. He whispered, "Don't apologize to me. I won't tell Belfast about what happened today. Just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

As if frightened by Xia Bai's bold action, Dido's body stiffened for a moment, blinked her rosy eyes, and nodded slowly.

"That's good. What happened today is known to heaven, earth, you and me. Neither of us should tell anyone." Seeing this, Xia Bai let go of his hands, looked around and asked, "Is there no light here?"

Hearing this, Dido pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Dido's lamp is broken...now we only have candles, I'm sorry." From the sound of her voice, it seemed as if tears were about to come out again.

"My aunt, please don't cry. Calm down. I'll go light a candle for you." Seeing that Dido was in a bad mood, Xia Bai said anxiously. He wanted to kowtow to Dido three times. What if she continued crying like this and woke up others?

He broke into the girl's room late at night and made her cry. If he was discovered, social death would be the least of his punishment. He estimated that Elizabeth would hang him by cannon in front of the royal palace.

Seeing that Dido really stopped crying after hearing his words, Xia Bai groped in the darkness to find a candle and lit it. Seeing that the window was still open, he ran over and closed it.

When the dim firelight illuminated the room, Dido's appearance was finally seen.

Her long silver hair with a black headband was draped over her shoulders, her rosy pink eyes were like a clear spring, her warm jade-like earlobes were slightly exposed from the ends of her hair, her delicate lips were slightly pursed, and her aggrieved look made people want to bully her.

The bold maid uniform wraps up her broad chest, revealing her southern hemisphere. Her soft and boneless hands are clasped together and twisting restlessly. The black strappy ladies' shoes and white thigh-high socks form an alluring absolute area between her skirt.

Oops, it's a heart-throb. Xia Bai covered his chest with one hand and took a half step back. He couldn't stand the pitiful appearance and attractive figure. Although she was both glorious and beautiful, Dido in front of him made people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Thinking of Sheffield's expressionless little face in his mind, Xia Bai drove away the strange thoughts, cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Dido, nice to meet you, I'm RX-0... I'm Xia Bai, son of Prometheus." He originally wanted to say his code name, but then he thought that Dido also knew him, so he said his name anyway.

"The light cruiser Dido...a member of the Royal Maid Corps." Dido said quietly, her head lowered.

After a moment's silence, Xia Bai took the initiative to ask, "Why is Dido crying here so late? Can you tell me?" He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he just wanted to get closer to Dido and prepare for the upcoming alliance.

When mentioning this, Dido's tears fell again, and she whispered what happened today. At the same time, a wave of sadness swept through Xia Bai's body.

It turned out that after Sheffield left, she cleaned the storage room by herself. After she finally finished cleaning, Ajax asked her to wash her skirts, saying it was a punishment for a traitor.

After finishing these extra tasks, Dido went back to her daily maid duties. She finally had a chance to relax during lunch break, but was called by Belfast to help with the repairs of the Royal Hall. She was not released until the evening by the head maid.

Dido thought that today's events were over, so she made some snacks and wanted to find Sirius, but Sirius locked himself in the room and ignored her and she couldn't call out.

Thinking that she had done something wrong accidentally to annoy Sirius, Dido prepared to return to her room as it was getting late, thinking about explaining it tomorrow.

When I returned to my room, I found that the ceiling and walls were full of cracks, as if they had been swept by a strong wind. Most of the furniture was in tatters, and my favorite tea set was also broken.

Seeing this scene, Dido recalled what happened today. The bad things happened one after another and she could no longer hold back and burst into tears in the room.

"...That's it, that's why Dido... wuwuwu." After saying that, Dido wiped her tears, lowered her head and sobbed softly. After telling Xia Bai, she felt much better.

After listening to what Dido said, Xia Bai's mouth twitched. People's joys and sorrows are not the same, but he could hardly hold it back.

First, it was because Dido's spiritual fluctuations infected him and resonated with him. Second, the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Except for the cleaning of the storage room at the beginning and Ajax, who he had never met, why did he seem to be behind everything?

While comforting Dido, Xia Bai quickly glanced at the room. He said this place looked so familiar. Wasn't this the place where he and Yan Zhan had their final competition? He also saw his blood-stained pajamas lying quietly on the ground.

Looking at Dido's frowning and tearful face, a sense of guilt quietly crept up his spine.

So Xia Bai looked at Dido seriously, raised his thumb like a war-weary person, and said cheerfully: "Let me help you clean up the room."
