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

She didn't know what the point of doing this was, but she knew that 'searching' could make her forget the pain temporarily and stop crying.

Perhaps after accepting the reality, she will say goodbye to Elizabeth and follow Xia Bai to that lonely and dark world.

It wasn't until cracks appeared in the pale sky again and two familiar figures wrapped in bubbles returned to this world that color returned to his eyes.

After being illuminated by the faint blue light in the cracks, the Basaka and CX-21 also regained their vitality.

"That's it... When you came back, Master, we found a note on you that said only you could open it."

This sounds a bit weird, with bubbles and light. Apart from knowing that the 'resurrection of the dead' is not limited to one, Xia Bai could only gather from Befa's story that someone resurrected himself and sent him back.

Judging from the situation in the universe at that time, that person should have also killed Qian Gong, and there was probably only one guy who could do that.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai looked at Beifa from the gap of "Justice" and said anxiously: "Who put away the note?"

Hearing this, Beifa handed the note to Xia Bai from the ship's space and chuckled, "I kept it for safekeeping. I wanted to give it to you when the master wakes up."

"But the master made such a commotion as soon as he woke up, and Befa forgot about it in a hurry. I hope the master can understand."

After saying that, the head maid winked playfully, and a shadow like a devil's sharp horns appeared on her fair forehead.

It was intentional. It was definitely intentional. I didn't expect that you, the girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes in Belfast, are actually a bad woman.

Complaining in his heart that Befa's behavior was inconsistent with the usual maid character, Xia Bai looked at the note in his hand.

"I am very satisfied with this test. As a reward, the dead son of Prometheus will be resurrected. I look forward to your next performance."

"Observer Zero."

"..."

Chapter 4: Hair Split

Ling-chan, she really... made me cry to death.

In short, Xia Bai is very touched now. If Observer Zero appeared in front of him now, he would probably hug him and lick him hard to express his gratitude.

Regardless of whether Ling-chan's test was a bit excessive, when Ling resurrected the deceased, she was an extremely shining existence at that moment and was Xia Bai's superman.

All regrets have been made up and everything is back to the best.

Why are there always tears in my eyes? It’s because I love Ling-chan deeply.

Wiping away the tears of emotion that were streaming down his face, Xia Bai carefully put the note into his ship's suit space and put it away, then put on a solemn expression.

"This note was written to me by Observer Zero. She was also the one who did the resurrection. It's a reward for my hard work."

After all, the Siren are still their open enemies, so Xia Bai decided to express his position to Befa in a serious manner and not let the other party find out that he has "inappropriate thoughts" about Observer Zero.

"I see..." With an expression of sudden enlightenment, Befa said in a deep voice, "Then everything makes sense. Resurrection is not difficult for the Siren. After being sunk, they will return to the [host] to reshape their bodies."

"But why is that? As one of the leaders of the Sirens, Observer Zero shouldn't care about the destruction of this world. The original owner asked her for help but was rejected."

Xia Bai knew the reason why Lingchan did this, but now was not the time to reveal it to anyone other than Shinano, so he laughed and replied: "I don't know about that, maybe there is some dark plan."

After hearing Xia Bai's answer, Befa seemed to suddenly think of something. He pulled out his legs, bent down and stared at his face carefully, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Master, since RX-01 is still alive, this means that Tempalans is no longer your enemy."

"Without a reason to fight...will you continue to help Azur Lane resist the Siren's attack?"

This question is very important. Although Befa is now Xia Bai's ship girl, if the other party withdraws at this time, the plan to attack the Solomon Line of Defense will immediately be declared bankrupt.

Apart from anything else, if Xia Bai chooses to stand by and watch, then the Sakura Empire will also choose to stand by and watch, and Splanland will also choose to stand by and watch. It is impossible for the Royal Army to capture the Solomon Line alone, unless the Iron Blood and White Eagle join in now.

But the Iron Bloods obviously did not want to attack the Solomon Line of Defense right now. They had their own battle plan, and Takors, where the White Eagles were located, had suffered heavy losses due to Ajax's "full-dress combat", which led to many internal problems.

They couldn't get away until these problems were resolved, so Xia Bai's thoughts at this time were very important and directly affected the future of the Faro Sea and the Chester Sea. Now, let alone Veneto, even the 'Cardinal' Richelieu had lost contact.

During the month that Xia Bai was in a coma, the news that Azur Lane received was that the Iris Church split into Free Iris and Vichy Church. God knows what happened over there, and whether Richelieu was sunk by his own rebellious people.

Facing Beifa's question, Xia Bai thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "I personally want to continue fighting, but after all, I have received such a great favor from Ling-chan, so I feel a little embarrassed."

"I have to go back and discuss with Tiancheng what to do next... Sorry, I can't give Befa an answer immediately." Xia Bai was indeed in a difficult situation because Befa was right. He had lost the meaning of continuing to fight with the Siren.

Unless they use the 'hypocritical' reason of protecting humanity, given the current relationship between Xia Bai and Observer Zero, there is really no need to take any further action, unless Zero uses the news from Shinano to emphasize the hostile stance and force them to attack the Solomon Line.

But Xia Bai now has a hunch that as long as he asks for it, Observer Zero will give him the vibration device.

The relationship between the two of them is a bit complicated. They are enemies on the surface, but they are secretly colluding with each other. If either Lingchan or the black-skinned arbitrator appeared when attacking the Solomon Line, he would not be able to do it.

Even if we take a step back and ignore the fact that Observer Zero resurrected those idiots who died in battle, the greatest hatred between the Son of Prometheus and the Sirens was written off when RX-01 was resurrected.

It was enough that RX-01 was still alive, and even if he died in the Solomon Line, it seemed that they had no legitimate reason to bring trouble upon the Siren.

Because RX-01 was not destroyed by Tempalans. According to him, it was hit by a strange golden beam. In line with the Arbitration Agency's action plan of "Destroying the Embers", Xia Bai has reason to believe that Tempalans appeared on the Solomon Line of Defense in order to destroy the Embers.

It's just that he didn't hit the target, but ran into the Son of Prometheus who was fooled by Edward. After that, he met the Embers who came to this world.

After getting Xia Bai's answer, Befa did not seem to be very disappointed. She was now the opponent's ship girl, and it would be a bit inappropriate for her to consider the royal family.

She also believed that her master would be able to find a better way to resolve the siege of the Faru Sea and would not watch the people there suffer a tragic fate.

Although he has always denied his sense of justice, Befa knows that Xia Bai is just a arrogant person who says one thing and thinks another. If he really sees a tragedy, he will still try his best to stop it.

Otherwise, he would not have forcibly used his ability to deploy Su Jian Ming Zun in order to reduce losses for the human army during the full-scale battle.

"Well, Befa won't make things difficult for the master. Let's discuss this with Miss Amagi when we return to Sakura."

Nodding, Befa leaned over and kissed Xia Bai's forehead, then stood up and adjusted her maid skirt.

"What does the master want next? Are you hungry after sleeping for so long?"

"Do you need Befa to make you a nutritious meal now? I am very confident in my cooking skills. I am not inferior to Sheffield~"

With a teasing look in her eyes, Befa slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing the absolute territory formed between her white silk stockings and thighs, and continued in a drawn-out tone: "Or does the master want to take a bath now?"

"General Barton Bryan's military sentence has ended, and the master has fulfilled the bet with Belfa, so you can serve me~"

By the way, I also have a bet with Beffa. If I live to see the end of Patton’s military court, then... wait, the military court is over?

After discovering that Beifa had revealed an important piece of information, Xia propped up his chin and asked in confusion, "Let's not talk about the bet first. How long have I slept?"

"One month. The master has been in a coma for a whole month since the end of the grand battle."

Chapter 5: Is being a commander so tiring?

A month is not a long time, but considering the average age of the sons of Prometheus, it is a long time. At least for Xia Bai, he missed his first birthday perfectly and postponed his reply to Nagato.

Of course, Nagato probably didn't have time to care about these things, because when the news of Xia Bai's death spread, the Sakura Empire was already in chaos.

If Amagi hadn't persuaded Akagi to wait for news, the crazy red fox would probably have destroyed itself after burning everything it could see.

Considering the complex personalities of the Sakura Empire shipgirls, Xia Bai said worriedly, "I want to go back now, back to the Sakura Empire."

"Master, you can go back anytime you want, but you don't need to be there to take charge of the situation right now. Miss Tiancheng has already arranged everything."

"Besides, there are still many things waiting for the master to solve. If you leave now, the company will be in trouble."

While trying to dissuade Xia Bai, Beifa took out a thick booklet from his arms, flipped through a few pages, and smiled, "According to this itinerary, Master, you will have a meeting with the iron-blooded Miss Bismarck. She has been waiting in Takors for a month."

"The next thing is the aftermath of the grand costume battle. The Takors government requested to meet with you on the grounds of discussing major human affairs."

"Then there was the celebration banquet held by the Maritime Administration, which was delayed for more than a month. There was also a medal awarding ceremony and a memorial service for soldiers who died in full uniform. This was the military's thing."

"Oh, this is the invitation letter from the Signus chaebol, sent in the name of Governor Takors. There is also a separate meeting with the commanders at the end..."

Oh my god, what a mess. There are so many things to do as soon as I wake up. I might as well continue to sleep. Helping Amagi to process documents in Sakura Empire is already costing me my life. I'll probably get skinned alive after going through this process.

The corners of his mouth began to twitch, and Xia Bai said pitifully: "I just woke up and need to rest... Can Beifa give me all the push?"

Hearing this, Beifa bowed slightly and said slowly: "As a maid, Beifa will obey the orders of the master."

"But as your ship girl, I suggest you accept the invitations from all parties. This will be beneficial in every way."

Hearing this, Xia Bai's face lengthened, and he said tentatively: "This is too much, how about selecting some and rejecting them? For example, I don't think I need to go to the military one."

"Befa has already turned down some invitations from other forces. The ones listed on this schedule are the most important ones."

"Befa knew that the master was at odds with the military, but the soldiers were innocent. They fought against the foreign enemy together with the master and suffered heavy losses..."

"Stop, stop, stop talking. I'm going to do it all. That should be enough."

Now that such words have been spoken, what else can Xia Bai do? He is not really heartless. He should just hold out against the evil beasts alone until the arrival of the Ship Girls Alliance. As an ally in the joint battle, he should attend the banquet.

Seeing that Xia Bai was no longer in a bad mood, Beifa smiled brightly and nodded, "Then Beifa will answer for the master."

"Please reply. Try to split up your schedule... Remember to carve out two days of free time for me. I want to take Sirius and Awesome out to play."

Xia Bai did not forget the purpose of coming to Takers. In addition to helping Barton and killing Edward, the most important thing was to play with Sirius and Kawei whom he had not seen for a long time. This was what he had promised in advance.

But plans cannot keep up with changes, so there has been no plan. Anyway, I have to stay here for a while, so I might as well make up for it.

"I understand. Befa will make two days for the master in the schedule... If there are no problems, after Akashi examines the master's body in the evening, he can talk with Miss Bismarck."

After hearing that Xia Bai was going to take Sirius and Kewei out to play, Befa felt a little dissatisfied. She was also a royal contract ship, so why didn't he think of her?

As a maid, Befa did not show her dissatisfaction, but buried it deep in her heart. When it was time to sleep with Xia Bai, if she didn't squeeze Xia Bai dry and make him beg for mercy, she would write her name upside down.

Having decided on the night battle plan in her mind, Befa left the room, and was replaced by the little maid Dido.

"Master, why is he staring at me? Is that weird, Dido?"

Under Xia Bai's gaze, Dido shrank her obscene body and asked weakly.

"Dido is not surprised. I'm just wondering why it wasn't Sirius who came... If you mind, I won't watch it."

How should I put it? Because of Sirius's matter, Xia Bai has always felt a little guilty towards Dido. The other party asked him to help Sirius out of the predicament, and he helped him to the bed.

Shaking her head, Dido twisted her body uncomfortably and said weakly, "Although Sirius is much better than me in combat, she is not very suitable for taking care of people."

"I, I don't mind the Master's gaze, as long as the Master likes it and doesn't abandon Dido."

Dido's character made Xia Bai feel even more guilty. He actually hoped that Dido could be stronger and not speak to him in such a timid way, making him look like an unforgivable criminal.

If someone saw him, they might think he was bullying the little maid and punch him in the face with two righteous iron fists.

But then again, they are both Dido-class light cruisers, so why are Sirius and Dido so different in character? One is sentimental and a little cowardly, while the other does whatever she wants and doesn't care about what others think.

Comparing the two people's figures in his mind, Xia Bai said calmly: "Diduo, can I ask you a question?"

"Well, what question does the master want to ask Dido?"

Dido seemed very happy when she heard Xia Bai asking her a question. Her face was full of brightness and she nodded vigorously.

Touching his chin, Xia Bai glanced at Dido with a look that treated him like a prisoner, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you call me Master from the beginning? You always called me by my name before."

"..."

Seeing Dido covering her mouth, as if she had let the cat out of the bag, Xia Bai immediately confirmed that the other party was hiding something and raised his tone.

"Befa calls me Master because she has established a spiritual connection with me, but Dido, I'm afraid it's not a good idea for you to use this title."

"Tell me quickly! Did Ajax send you to play a trick on me, or do you want me to agree to something again, so you used this method to let my guard down?"

Want to use the maid trick? What a joke. Xia Bai is no longer the innocent virgin who can be happy for a long time just by Sheffield's word "master". If he wants to use this trick against himself, he should not even look at how heavy his chest is.

Chapter 7 Essex Melancholy

The warm and moist sea breeze blew, bringing with it a light salty smell. Under the sunshine, the White Eagle's little ship girls played and fought on the beach, chasing each other.

The affairs of 'adults' have nothing to do with them. Not all destroyers are as mature as Jiang Feng and Ayanami. Most destroyers have relatively immature mindsets, not much different from elementary school students.

Being able to play for a while after completing the mission is undoubtedly a very happy thing for them, just like the little ship girls of the Sakura Empire like to gather around Xia Bai and play around.

But all these were so "dazzling" to Essex. All the laughter and happiness belonged to them, and she had nothing.

Sitting on the steps, Essex hugged his knees like an abandoned little animal, staring blankly at the destroyers playing on the beach, his heart full of complexities unknown to others.

She wants to let it go but can't. She is not as rational and cold as she looks. After being PUA by Xia Bai that day, the girl's mind became confused.

"You've already decided to give up your life, but you still say embarrassing things..."

"I'm not Azalea, I'm Essex...his business has nothing to do with me."

Essex muttered unclear words, her expression becoming even more confused. She had no idea how to face Xia Bai after he woke up.

Should we continue to pretend to be familiar strangers, become two parallel lines that will never communicate, or return to the way we were on Spland Island.

Will he still accept such a relationship? Will I accept it?

With her mind in a mess, Essex didn't know what to do. Sometimes she even felt that she was a bit cheap, being hesitant because of a man and unrequited love.

"So you are here, Jiaozi."
