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

Originally, this plan had some backup plans, but due to Zuikaku's carelessness, Elizabeth noticed something, and in order to avoid any further complications, they had to take action tonight.

They would not really set out first and wait for Xia Bai to recover from his injury before catching up. Belfast just hasn't figured it out for the time being. Once she recovers and contacts Ajax, it will be difficult for her to leave the Royal Family.

Everyone wants to have a piece of this cake, and the Royal Family turned a blind eye to Xia Bai establishing a mental link with their ship girls.

Do you really think the royal family is so easy to talk to? They just want to tie Xia Bai to this boat completely because of his fighting ability.

With a disdainful snort, Shokaku said to Zuikaku, "Zuikaku, go inform Shigure to be ready to leave at any time. I have already asked the monarch to go up first."

"I'll go meet Sheffield and see what the maid is thinking."

Chapter 79 Very smooth

into the night.

Sheffield helped Xia Bai to the infirmary, put him on the bed, took out a bandage from the medical cabinet, and said coldly: "I think the master needs this."

"I don't think so... This injury will heal quickly. You don't know my physical condition, Sheffield."

Hearing this, Sheffield put the bandage back on and sat next to Xia Bai: "Master is like this every time. Can't he fight without getting hurt? Even training with Zuikaku can make him look miserable."

"Although I know that the master is not an ordinary person, I still worry when I see you injured."

Seeing the maid's cold expression, Xia Bai knew that this was the other party's attitude towards him, and quickly said: "This was just an accident, it won't happen again in the future, I promise Sheffield."

"Promise..." Sheffield's golden eyes flickered as he silently chanted this word. He covered Xia Bai with the quilt and stood up. "I'm just a maid. The master doesn't have to promise me anything... Sheffield is already very happy to be by the master's side."

The subsequent voices became quieter and quieter, so Xia Bai couldn't hear clearly. Curiosity appeared on his face: "Sheffield, what did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. It's just that you have tinnitus. Okay, Sheffield won't bother you anymore. Please have a good rest, Master."

Although she has established a spiritual connection with Xia Bai, the stubborn maid still cannot express her feelings properly.

Perhaps this awkward characteristic is also what makes Sheffield so likable.

Giving Xia Bai a peaceful smile, Sheffield lifted her skirt, bent down, saluted, and prepared to leave.

She wanted to find Shokaku, even though Xia Bai was injured because of her, it was Shokaku's request to compete with Zuikaku.

Don't expect ship girls to be reasonable, especially those with commanders. After establishing a mental link with them, all matters will be given priority to the commander.

Just because Xia Bai said it didn't matter didn't mean Sheffield thought it didn't matter. After the Royal Family made her commander like this, if she didn't ask for an explanation, did she really think that Xia Bai had no one else on his side and would continue to let you bully her?

If Shokaku couldn't give Sheffield a satisfactory explanation, she would dare to bring Cowherd and Sirius to cause trouble the next day.

But when Sheffield just walked out of the infirmary, he saw Shokaku leaning against the wall with his arms around his shoulders, looking at him with a smile on his face.

His bright face was now gloomy. Sheffield quietly closed the door, walked quickly to Shokaku's side, and said without emotion, "I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to show up at my doorstep."

She was too lazy to even observe etiquette, and Sheffield's words were not polite at all. If other Royal Navy ship girls saw this, they would definitely doubt whether this was her.

Shokaku didn't care about Sheffield's somewhat sarcastic words and winked at her playfully.

"I also want to find Sheffield. What a coincidence. Is this considered telepathy?"

"Who has such a telepathic connection with the women of your Sakura Empire? I need an explanation as to why the Commander has become like this."

Sheffield was really angry, and he didn't try to exchange witty remarks with Shokaku. He just questioned him angrily.

"I don't think there's any need to explain anything. Sheffield, don't be so angry. We are a family." After saying that, Shokaku wanted to pat Sheffield's shoulder to ease the tense atmosphere.

But when he stretched out his hand halfway, the maid hit him back and spoke mercilessly to him.

"Don't have these ridiculous ideas. Now I just need to explain."

Looking at the back of his hand, Shokaku thought that this was the second time this had happened. The last time was with Sirius. You Royal Ship Girls are really rude.

So he stopped pretending to be friendly and said sarcastically with a grin on his face, "Explain! Why do you, a light cruiser, ask me for an explanation? Did the commander give you the courage?"

"..."

Facing Shokaku's contempt, Sheffield was silent for a moment, then he realized the problem in the other party's words. He unfolded his ship suit and murderous intent emerged on his expressionless face.

"The title of commander is not something you conspiracy animals can call casually."

After making a gesture to Noshiro in the dark to tell her not to rush into action, Shokaku held his chin with one hand while hugging his chest, and smiled.

"Ah, ah~ So Xia Bai didn't tell you?"

"say what!"

When Sheffield heard Xia Bai's name, his murderous intent became even stronger. These guys from Sakura Empire only knew how to take advantage of others. When they saw others had good things, they wanted to steal them away.

Why didn't Sakura Empire have any ideas before the Royal Family formed an alliance with the Son of Prometheus? Now that they have seen the benefits of the Royal Family, they can't help but want to seize it.

Who knows, their commander might have been targeted by them for a long time, just waiting for the chance to abduct him. With Xia Bai's appearance of being sold but still helping others count money, he would probably be beaten to the bone.

Thinking secretly about Shokaku's thoughts, Sheffield planned to call for help immediately if the situation became unsatisfactory, and no one could take away her commander.

"I forgot to mention that he has been with me since noon today. As for what we did together, hehe~ Sheffield, your man is very moist."

When talking about "very moist", Shokaku deliberately licked her lips with her pink tongue. She did this on purpose to annoy the other person.

A surge of hot blood rushed into her brain, and veins kept appearing on Sheffield's forehead. She raised the cannon on her waist and aimed it at the other party. She no longer wanted to listen to what Shokaku, the naughty woman, had to say.

Seeing that Sheffield was about to take action, Shokaku didn't want to let the plan go wrong and quickly said, "Wait... Xia Bai and I have established a spiritual connection, I am one of them."

Hearing this, Sheffield temporarily gave up the idea of ​​opening fire and asked questioningly: "How do you prove that a mental link has been established?"

"Isn't the commander in the infirmary? Just go ask him and you'll find out." After saying this quickly, Shokaku patted his chest and thought to himself that she almost went too far, mainly because Sheffield was impolite, which made her want to be sarcastic to him.

If Sheffield really wanted to take action, their plan to take Xia Bai away overnight would fail. Fortunately, the other party was a rational person. If it was Sirius or Kawai, Shokaku would not dare to say that.

Seeing that Shokaku's words did not seem false and that he could confirm the situation with Xia Bai at any time, Sheffield took back the ship equipment.

Calling the commander verbally is different from establishing a mental link. Before the mental link is established, unless they already love each other, most of the time they just obey the commander's attack orders.

But once a spiritual connection is established, it proves that the two people will never be separated, and will be together regardless of life or death, spending the rest of their time together.

Some commanders died in accidents, and the ship girls who established a spiritual connection with them would commit suicide by sinking into the sea.

So after hearing Shokaku say that he had established a spiritual connection with Xia Bai, Sheffield felt relieved and no longer had any hostility towards her. Just as Shokaku said, they were family.

Looking back at the door, Sheffield regained his usual expression, but his heart was not so calm.

The maid was going to ask Xia Bai how many women he had found outside without her knowing.

Chapter 80 Sharing Experience

After talking with Shokaku for a while in the corridor, Sheffield learned that the other party had established a mental link with Xia Bai after lunch. At the same time, she was the only Sakura Empire ship girl who established a link, so she felt less resentful towards Xia Bai.

Then the two of them had a full exchange of thoughts about Xiao Xiaobai, during which Sheffield shared his own experience in serving, especially talking about the matter of xp, which made Shokaku think deeply.

At the same time, Shokaku also shared with Sheffield how his gentle offensive made Xia Bai addicted to it, which made Sheffield greatly impressed.

Regardless of how pleasant the communication between them was, Noshiro, who had been hiding in the dark, blocked her small ears with all her strength.

I'm just here to help, why do I have to hear such dirty words and feel so miserable.

She had already got stye when she went to deliver the red bean rice. When she had almost forgotten what she had seen, it now reminded her of Xia Bai's sturdy body and Shokaku's flushed face and shameless appearance.

'Is it really that comfortable?'

Such a thought flashed through Noshiro's mind, but she quickly shook her head to put the idea behind her. She didn't want to become such a promiscuous woman. She prayed in her heart that the conversation between the two would end quickly, as they still had plans to carry out.

Seeing that she had almost finished talking with Shokaku, Sheffield's trust in her, which originally only amounted to five points, was now raised to nine points. Shokaku knew Xia Bai's body very well, which could not be false. This was very much like what a mental link ship would do.

If it was a lie, Sheffield could only admire the other party's courage. The person involved was in a room not far away and could be confronted face to face at any time. He could tell such a lie without changing his expression or heartbeat. Even if she was deceived, she would admit it.

Sheffield bowed to Shokaku as an apology for his hostility, and then asked coldly, "Shokaku, what do you want from me? If you want to claim sovereignty, forget it. I'm just a maid and I'm not interested in these things."

Seeing that Sheffield no longer had any hostility, Shokaku covered his mouth and chuckled, "Of course not, I just wanted to come and meet you and see what the commander's first favorite ship girl is like."

First... Hearing this word, Sheffield raised her eyebrows. Not getting first place was the thing she regretted the most. If she hadn't seen that Shokaku didn't seem to be teasing her, she would have turned hostile and left long ago.

"It is Sheffield's honor to be loved by the master. There is nothing special about it... Now that I have seen it all, I will take my leave."

Sheffield bowed politely to Shokaku and was about to leave when Shokaku stopped him.

"Wait a minute, fellow commander, I have something important to tell you."

Sheffield stopped and looked at the other person in confusion.

"I'm going to take the commander away to Sakura today."

These words were like thunder, causing Sheffield's eyes to widen slightly. He quickly thought about the purpose of Shokaku's actions and said coldly, "Whether the master goes to Sakura Empire or not is not something a maid like me can decide. Shokaku, you have to go and talk to him."

"I've talked to the commander and he agreed... I just want to tell Sheffield that we will have many tough opponents in the future."

Sheffield looked indifferent after hearing this and said to Shokaku: "I don't mind how many ship girls the commander has around him..."

But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Shokaku. Didn't she know what the Royal Navy ship girls were thinking? She was best at watching a fire from the other side of the river, and would take the initiative to add fuel to the fire if she saw the fire was not burning well.

Thinking of this, Shokaku stopped being a riddler and said straight to the point: "I don't mind how many ship girls the commander has, but I want to earn a place as a secretary ship."

"The commander is going to take over the Sakura Empire. We have a lot of sick and capable people in the Sakura Empire. I'm sure they will rush over as soon as they see the commander."

"Take the Akagi in the First Fleet for example. Her possessiveness is very strong. If she becomes the secretary ship, Sheffield, your position as a personal maid will be lost."

In response to Shokaku's alarmist remarks, Sheffield lowered his eyelids and said, "How can you be sure that Akagi will like the master?"

She didn't want to fight for the secretary ship, nor did she have the ability to do so. As long as she could be Xia Bai's personal maid, Sheffield would be satisfied, but she didn't want to take sides easily.

"Do you have no confidence in the commander's charm, or do you think that I, as a member of the Fifth Air Combat Association, don't understand your seniors... If you don't want to support me, then forget it."

Seeing that Sheffield didn't care about it, Shokaku didn't want to continue to persuade her. Like to wait for the price? If you really wait until those sick ship girls take the position, you won't think so.

He waved his hand, indicating that he had nothing to say and told Xia Bai to do what he should do. Then Xianghe prepared to go into the infirmary to take Xia Bai away.

"Shokaku."

The maid's cold voice stunned Shokaku. She turned her head and looked at the other party, and said happily: "Sheffield, have you changed your mind and are ready to support me?"

"...Take good care of my master for me while we are in Sakura Empire." After leaving these words, Sheffield turned around and left without mercy. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but follow Xia Bai to Sakura Empire.

But now there are so few royal staff that she can't do that. Anyway, she can use the communication ring to keep in touch. It won't be too late for her to go to Sakura Empire after everything is done.

Watching Sheffield's figure gradually disappear, Shokaku thought that this guy was really awkward. Instead of expressing his concern to the commander in person, he told himself to take good care of the commander. That's why he said that the Royal Navy's ship girls were just pretentious.

Clapping his hands gently, Shokaku signaled Noshiro that he didn't need to hide anymore and could come out.

I saw Noshiro staggering out from the shadows, her face flushed, her head lowered, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Finding that the other person seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, Shokaku stepped forward and patted her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up, and asked curiously: "Noda, what happened to you?"

Noshiro shuddered all over, took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground, waved his hands in front of his chest and said, "No...nothing, Lord Shokaku, are we going to take the person away directly next?"

Whenever she saw Shokaku's face now, her mind would associate it with the face she saw in the afternoon. She couldn't accept that the dignified and elegant Shokaku-sama had become like that.

After rolling his eyes at Nouyo, Shokaku nodded and was about to open the door, but he didn't expect the door to open by itself.

Xia Baishuang pulled his arm, looked at Shokaku and then at Noshiro, and said curiously: "Hey! What a coincidence, I'm just going outside to smoke a cigarette. If there's anything, let's talk outside. It's stuffy inside..."

'thump. ’

Before he could finish his words, Xia Bai was knocked unconscious by Noshiro without any preparation. In front of Shokaku's shocked gaze, Noshiro carried Xia Bai on his back with a nervous look on his face.

"Shokaku-sama, the target has been captured, let's go."

"..."

Who told you to knock someone out? That doesn't mean you listened to us or not!

Chapter 81 Punishment of Noshiro

As dawn breaks, there are still sparse stars in the blue sky, twinkling their last rays of light.

The Shigure quietly left the Royal Island under the cover of night and sailed on the gray sea, carrying hope towards the Sakura Empire.

The waves hit its steel shell, making a rustling sound. The early morning sea breeze swept in with a chill, causing Xia Bai to sneeze and then shrink.

"Noda, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and close the window for me."

Noshiro, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded and was about to get up to close the window, but Shokaku got there first.

After closing the window, Shokaku gave Noshiro an apologetic smile, then turned to Xia Bai who was curled up on the bed and said, "Commander, please forgive Noshiro. She didn't mean to knock you out."

Wrapping the quilt tighter around him, Xia Bai said sarcastically, "Of course I won't do anything to Nodai. Humph, her hands are so quick that she didn't even let me finish my words."

He was still a little emotional. It was something they had already agreed to, so if something suddenly changed, couldn't they just come over and discuss it? It wasn't like he didn't want to go, but they had to knock him out.

Seeing that Xia Bai looked aggrieved, Xianghe hurriedly sat beside him and tried to comfort him in a soft voice.

"Noshiro just overreacted a bit, she didn't mean any harm. Besides, Noshiro will be your ship girl in the future, as a commander you can't be so petty."

With eyes wide open, Xia Bai raised his voice a little, and said angrily: "I am stingy? I didn't bully her. I can say that I am willing to do anything to express my apology. I asked her to close the window, but I am stingy."
