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

Sirius and I have become so close, how can I still be with Sheffield? That's why first love is imperfect.

Thinking of Sheffield, Xia Bai couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. The maid who had always taken care of him in every possible way had always held an important position in his heart, but now there was no going back.

Seeing Xia Bai's expression become uncomfortable, Xianghe couldn't help but ask curiously: "Did I say something wrong? Why do you look uncomfortable, Xia Bai?"

Waving his hands, Xia Bai replied bitterly: "What you said just now reminded me of someone..." He suddenly felt that he was not loyal in his relationship, even though he already had Sirius.

"I thought of someone... is it Kouwei or Sheffield?" After hearing what Xia Bai said, Xianghe secretly thought about the candidate, and then pretended to be worried about Xia Bai.

"Then can you tell me who it is? One more person means more power. Maybe I can come up with a good solution."

Xia Bai secretly glanced at Sirius who seemed indifferent to the matter, and struggled in his heart for a long time. He should tell her about this matter, so he might as well confess it now. Maybe Shokaku would have a different opinion.

"It's Sheffield. I actually still have some feelings for her that I shouldn't have, but I have established a spiritual connection with Sirius..." After saying that, Xia Bai lowered his head in shame, reflecting on whether he was too bad. What if Sirius got angry? He couldn't accept that he would leave him now.

"So Sheffield was the one who criticized your poor playing of the piece, and Xia Bai, you found me online to learn playing techniques for him."

"Yes...but after I learned some techniques, I played all the songs for Sirius." After admitting it hesitantly like an elementary school student who made a mistake, Xia Bai immediately gave additional explanation.

Glancing at Sirius who was looking out at the sea, Shokaku sighed that one should not judge a person by his appearance. She was not criticizing Sirius's appearance, but praising him.

With the relationship between Xia Bai and Sheffield, she was able to intervene forcefully and take the lead in establishing a mental connection. Wow... isn't it said that she is a battle maniac and not good at other things? How come she acted so quickly, fiercely and accurately and gained the upper hand in no time?

But why can't this man think in a tactful way? Can they, the ship girls, be the same as ordinary people? It is normal for two people of the opposite sex to develop feelings beyond comrades-in-arms by spending time together day and night with their mental powers fluctuating?

If a commander can only share his love with one ship girl, then the other ship girls under his command will be left in the cold? Is there still harmony in the fleet?

Thinking of this, Shokaku was ready to speak up and give Xia Bai some advice to make some preparations for the Sakura Empire's plan.

"It doesn't matter if you like Sirius and Sheffield at the same time. We, the ship girls, won't care about that. After you become the commander by linking with the ship girl, Xia Bai, you can't treat yourself as an ordinary person. Your love doesn't belong to just one person."

"Huh? Shokaku, you are kidding, right? No one would accept someone who is indecisive..."

Using his hand to stop Xia Bai from saying the next thing, Shokaku turned his head and said to Sirius beside him: "Why don't you explain it to your commander... or do you really want to eat alone?"

The topic was brought to his side by the bad woman of the Sakura Empire, and Sirius would not sit idly by. He turned his head and looked at Xia Bai gently with his crimson eyes.

"I don't mind how many ship girls the commander has and how many of them he has relationships with, as long as he can love me as always... On the contrary, your ship girls in the Sakura Empire have a bad habit of being jealous. I heard that the First Fleet Battle Akagi was like that."

Seeing that Sirius had brought the war to the Sakura Empire again and specifically named Akagi, Shokaku couldn't stand it anymore. He could be sarcastic to Akagi, but he couldn't accept what others said, especially since Sirius was a member of the royal family.

So with a mocking smile, he took a step forward and bumped into Sirius, gritting his teeth and said, "Ah, please don't slander us, Sakura Empire. Senior Akagi has been looking for her destined person, but there is no commander yet."

She puffed out her chest, hoping to make the Sirius light cruiser retreat, but Shokaku found that she, as an aircraft carrier, seemed to be no match for her. Instead, she was knocked back by the opponent.

With crimson eyes filled with disdain, Sirius sneered, mocking Shokaku's arrogance.

"That's it?"

After hearing what Sirius said, veins appeared on Shokaku's smooth forehead, and he kept tightening his grip on the flute in his hand. It was so infuriating. Even she, the great Onmyoji, would be controlled by Onmyoji one day.

After taking a few deep breaths, Shokaku resisted the urge to draw his sword.

It was a misstep. She hadn't expected that Sirius had such a vulgar figure wrapped in a combat suit. She was no match for him at all. Although her size was not particularly large, she was still considered to be in the upper-middle level among the ship girls.

I didn't expect to be hit hard by a small light cruiser today. Then I thought of Belfast and Dido... Are all the royal light cruisers monsters?

The words "bringing shame upon oneself" appeared in Shokaku's mind. Perhaps only if Daiho comes here can he get back at his old self.

Forcing a smile on his face, Shokaku covered his lips and laughed: "I hope Miss Sirius, you will still be so confident after returning to the royal family."

Then he looked at the Royal Island gradually emerging on the sea level and bowed slightly to Xia Bai: "I won't bother you anymore. I hope you can understand what I said just now, Xia Bai. Giving your love to only one person... is also a selfish behavior."

After saying that, Shokaku turned and walked aside, waiting for the warship to approach the Royal Port, leaving behind the shivering Xia Bai.

"Women's fighting... is so terrible." The brief confrontation between Sirius and Shokaku made Xia Bai not know what to say. Anyway, he heard a message from it - the Sakura Empire seemed to have ideas about him.

And what Shokaku said about selfishness...should I abandon some of the ideas I had before I traveled through time, and just live a day-to-day life without so many complicated emotional entanglements? I want it all!

Xianghe's reminder brought out some dark thoughts in Xia Bai's heart. Which otaku doesn't want to have a harem, especially when they are all very beautiful girls.

Shaking his head, Xia Bai decided to stick to his beliefs. He is the god of pure love, and being loyal in relationships has been engraved in his bones since he was a child... maybe?

Things will work out when the time comes. Sheffield still refuses to pay attention to me now. Let's see what she thinks.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would never be unfaithful again, and would confess his love to Sheffield when he got back, and at most get together with the maid, and then be a good man who managed the household, and would not be easily fooled by any temptation.

At this moment, Xia Bai's brain began to wander and he suddenly remembered the words of the riddler in his dream. Should he go to Sakura Empire to meet him? After all, he still had many questions that he wanted him to answer.

Chapter 28 Safe Arrival

The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the sea level, as if putting a layer of golden filter on the clear blue sea. The Royal Island was no longer the war-torn and smoke-filled island it was yesterday. It was full of life again, sitting alone on the sea, looking a bit more desolate and lonely.

The steel battleship slowly approached the shore. Xia Bai jumped off the Shigure first, feeling the touch of solid ground, raised his hands and shouted: "We are back! Ahem..."

The powerful voice stopped halfway through, and was replaced by a violent cough. Sirius behind him quickly stepped forward to support Xia Bai, and said along his chest with some complaints: "Don't get too excited, your injury is not healed yet."

While explaining to Sirius, Xia Bai stared at Sirius's pretty face, thinking viciously in his heart that his injuries would have almost healed a long time ago. If you hadn't forced yourself on me three times in the crew room, I wouldn't be having difficulty breathing and my legs and feet would not be so weak now.

Just wait, tonight... no, tomorrow night you will have something to worry about. Although he and Sirius are still one step away from upgrading their relationship, the other's curvy body still brings Xia Bai many exciting experiences.

Especially the pair of giant cats, which made him addicted to it.

Before he started having sex, Xia Bai didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but after he started having sex, he couldn't control himself anymore. He imagined Sirius's slender legs wearing white silk stockings as thin as cicada wings, and his snowy lotus feet painted with light pink nail polish...

No, I can’t imagine this anymore. My brother can’t bear it anymore. Xia Bai quickly recited the Ice Heart Spell several times in his mind before letting Xiao Xiaobai lower his head.

Then he put on a frank look and looked at the empty port.

"Why didn't anyone come to greet us?"

"They have other things to deal with now... Let's go, Belfast is waiting for us not far away." After patting Xia Bai's shoulder, Shengyu walked past him with a calm expression, followed by a group of little loli from the Sakura Empire.

It was only then that Xia Bai realized that there were so many people in the Second Torpedo Squadron of the Sakura Empire, and they all had various kinds of furry ears, and some even wore golden hats on their heads. He had not seen them on Vanis Island or on the battleship.

Sakura Beast Ears Kindergarten? After complaining in his heart, Xia Bai quickly pulled Sirius to follow.

The group walked for about five minutes and finally saw Belfast and Dido. The head maid lifted her skirt and bent down slightly with her signature smile.

"Excuse me, the royal family is unable to spare any manpower at the moment, so I have to come to greet you all." Xia Bai is currently considered a member of the royal family, and Belfast was speaking to Shokaku and the others.

"That's not the case. I'm very grateful that you took the time out of your busy schedule to visit us, not to mention that you sent troops to support us in such a critical situation... I really don't know how to thank you."

In response to Belfast's apology, Shokaku stepped forward and spoke. Perhaps because she was still angry at Sirius, what she said didn't sound very interesting at first, but upon closer inspection, you could find that it sounded strange.

Belfast pretended not to hear Shokaku's sarcastic words, and moved his hand to the side with his formal smile on his face.

"Thank you for coming all the way here. The Queen has prepared a dinner for you. Please follow me."

Seeing that the head maid had no other reaction, Shokaku didn't say anything else. He took the Sakura Empire's ship girls and followed Belfast to the Royal Palace.

When Xia Bai heard about the dinner party, he immediately wanted to follow. He was really hungry after not eating for a day, but he was stopped by Dido halfway through.

The other party said in a low voice with grievance: "Thank you for helping Sirius. Dido knew everything from Belfa... Thank you."

Seeing Dido bending down to thank him all the time, Xia Bai felt very embarrassed. He helped Sirius out of trouble, but he also became good friends with Sirius. The other party asked him to help his sister, and he helped her to the bed.

This situation is a bit tricky. How should I explain it to Dido?

Quickly thinking about how to deal with it, Xia Bai pressed Dido's shoulders to stop her movements, and said seriously: "No need to apologize, I will tell you the details later. Let's go to dinner first, don't let Elizabeth wait anxiously."

Then, with a hungry and anxious look on his face, he quickly caught up with the main group, but halfway through, Dido grabbed the corner of his clothes. Confused, Xia Bai turned around and asked, "Dido, is there anything else you want?"

"Well...your sister is here. Belfast asked Dido to tell you to go meet her."

"RX-03 is here! Where is she now?" This was really an unexpected surprise. After not seeing each other for a week, Xia Bai missed his younger brothers and sisters a little, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to tell RX-03 about the changes in the mecha.

"In...in your room." Maybe Xia Bai's voice was a little loud, Dido thought he was being angry with her, and tears were about to flow out again. She was such a sensitive ship girl.

After quickly comforting Dido who was wiping away her tears and waving at Sirius, Xia Bai quickly walked into the royal palace.

"Sirius, are you okay? Dido feels like you've become a different person." Looking at Sirius who was exuding a gentle aura, Dido asked curiously in a low voice.

Change? The white soft hand touched his face, Sirius nodded to Dido with doubt: "Well... I'm sorry for making you worry before."

"Now I have found my own pursuit, my own meaning. I will no longer be abandoned, nor will I fight aimlessly. I... am no longer alone."

Recalling the experiences with Xia Bai, a smile called happiness suddenly appeared on Sirius' face for some reason, without her even noticing it.

Sirius is so beautiful at this moment, shining like a diamond in the cold winter.

Dido took all of this in and lowered her head silently, feeling inexplicably envious of Sirius.

She also wants to be needed and not abandoned...

Dragging his weak legs, Xia Bai quickly came to the door of his room, tidied his clothes a little and was about to open the door, but he heard different crying sounds one after another and his hand stopped on the handle.

RX-03 was not the only one here, there were others as well. Did something happen on Spland Island? Thinking of this, Xia Bai wanted to eavesdrop on what happened. After all, RX-03 might think he was too stupid to tell him some things.

Just when Xia Bai was about to put his ear to the door, the movement of the handle made him quickly return to his original position and pretend to knock on the door.

A blond boy walked out with red eyes, still wiping away his tears. When he saw Xia Bai, he wiped his eyes in disbelief.

"It's a fake corpse!"

Chapter 29 Xia Bai: Are you here to mourn?

With a backhand slap, RX-16's head made a crisp sound. Xia Bai was so angry that he cursed: "You want me to die, right? How dare you curse your brother like that?"

Then he felt that something was wrong with the current situation and looked into the house. A sea of ​​people were looking at him with red eyes. He quickly closed the door and opened it again to confirm that he was not mistaken.

"Um... why are you all here?" Xia Bai asked in confusion, scratching his head. He clapped his hands as if he suddenly thought of something. "Are you here to have a party? My room is a bit small. How about asking Queen Elizabeth to give us a banquet hall?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a flat head rushed out from the crowd, hugged him and started crying loudly.

"Senior! It's great that you're alive."

Being hugged unexpectedly by the other party, Xia Bai took a small step back, steadied his body, and began to pat the other party's strong back and comforted him softly.

"What happened? Why did you think I was dead... And, CX-21, don't wipe your snot on me, it's disgusting."

CX-21's emotions infected the others, and they rushed forward and pressed Xia Bai to the ground, checking whether they had seen it wrong, while Xia Bai struggled and shouted on the ground.

"Come on, tell me why you said I was dead first... Stop touching me, CX-18."

"How's the CX-18? Is it warm?"

"Well... I still need to confirm whether Senior is still alive."

"Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity? Get out of the way! Let me do it."

"It's fine if CX-18 wants to take advantage, but why are you joining in the fun, Fourth Brother?"

"..."

After a commotion, the dishevelled Xia Bai was helped up by Weilai, clutching her collar tightly like a wronged young wife.

These guys are so scary, especially RX-04, who actually put his hand on his butt. If he hadn't struggled hard, he would not have been able to keep his innocence for Sirius.

"Have you had enough fun? If you have, someone come out and explain to me what's going on!"

RX-03, who was watching coldly on the side, waved her hand, and the Sons of Prometheus who were crowded in front of Xia Bai immediately dispersed. She took a few steps forward and spoke.

"It looks like the second brother is fine, so we can rest assured."

"Okay, stop talking about this nonsense and just tell me what's going on." Xia Bai was a little impatient with RX-03's pretending to be reserved.

Who was I trying to hide from when I pretended to be calm with red eyes? I was a little stupid, but I wasn't blind.

"While we were testing the Solomon Line..."

Listening to RX-03 slowly telling the story, Xia Bai nodded and touched the other's head, rubbing his long black hair a few times and whispered: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Xia Bai knew that he had done something wrong and he shouldn't give up his life so easily. There were still a group of lovely brothers and sisters waiting for him. But if he were given the chance to choose again, Xia Bai would still fight with Tester α.

If he had really run away at that time, it would have brought shame to the sons of Prometheus, and Xia Bai had also made a vow not to let anyone he knew die in front of him.

In short, he knew he was wrong, but he would dare to do it again next time.

The apology made RX-03's eyes red again. Holding back her tears, she asked Xia Bai about the situation on the battlefield.

Xia Bai got excited when he talked about this. He walked into the room, stepped on the chair, and slapped his thighs hard, attracting the attention of the sons of Prometheus. He cleared his throat and said in a pretentious operatic tone: "When my team first set out, there were only four or five people and seven or eight cannons..."

RX-03 was so angry that she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him, saying, "I asked you to explain the situation, not to sing Sha Jia Bang."

He hurriedly caught the teacup that was thrown at him and put it aside. This was something Sheffield gave him, so he couldn't just break it. Then Xia Bai licked his face and said, "I just wanted to add a little drama. What do you think? I changed the words well, didn't I?"

"Good!" The CX-21 sitting on the ground shouted and applauded. He always gave unconditional support to his beloved predecessors, and then led all the sons of Prometheus in the audience to applaud together.

For a moment, the room was filled with thunderous applause, cheers and applause.

He looked at them one by one with a cold, blade-like gaze, and finally stared at CX-21, forcing the other to lower his head. RX-03 thought to himself that his second brother was such a nuisance. Why didn't he just die on Vanis Island? He made him so upset and he cried for him for so long in vain.

The same goes for the CX-21. It doesn't learn good things but instead learns bad things. Just like Xia Bai smokes, he also learns to smoke, taking the bad from the bad and discarding the good. Second brother is right, this guy is probably useless.

Thinking of this, RX-03 was also helpless, so he said to Xia Bai in a cold voice: "Now tell me everything that happened, and why the life sensor shows that you are dead."
