The commander of Azur Lane? But I have never heard that Azur Lane has a commander? Or is it a separate commander of the royal family... This kind of mental fluctuation is really worrying, why not ask directly. Thinking of this, New Jersey spoke.

"Guanghui, would you like to introduce me? This man..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of a trombone.

Royal Vanguard support troops arrive.

Chapter 15: The Stupid Half-Year-Old Boy Does Not Dream of the Lazy Riddler

"Sister Guanghui, Sister Kewei, are you okay--" On the sea level, Xia Bai could see a short figure waving her little hands and shouting, and then she approached Xia Bai and the others.

Violet has short hair, tender facial features with baby fat, and a spear in her hand... No, she looks like a junior high school student no matter how you look at her. Look at the ship girl following behind her.

A fleet of light cruisers or destroyers? Sure enough, my decision was right...

Resting his head on Guanghui's legs and feeling Guanghui gently stroking his hair, Xia Bai felt sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

After fighting for a whole night, the mecha suffered varying degrees of damage and was finally broken apart. The pain was clearly reflected in his body.

From an ordinary Siren to a Breaker and then to Tempalans, his nerves have always been tense, but now he is safe.

Xia Bai could no longer hear the voices of the ship girls, and he closed his eyes as he watched the little ship girls getting closer and closer.

......

"Second brother, what are you thinking about? Why don't you join everyone?"

It seems to be the voice of 03.

When Xia Bai was about to turn around, he found himself suddenly strangled by an arm.

"02, don't be shy, we are brothers."

Xia Bai glanced to the left and it was indeed this silly brother. He was the only one who was so careless.

So what's going on? Why did Big Brother and 03 suddenly appear? Xia Bai was about to say something.

The scene suddenly changed.

......

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Looking at the short-haired guy bowing to him and the noisy environment around him, Xia Bai seemed to understand something.

This is CX-21. He remembered that it was a one-on-one combat training. He easily defeated CX-21 and was a little complacent at that time?

However, Xia Bai later discovered that fighting against the son of Prometheus was completely different from fighting against the Sirens.

"That's pretty good, 21." After encouraging the guy with the bald head, Xia Bai turned around and left the training ground.

......

"Brother, you looked so handsome in today's battle."

"Yes, Senior is really strong. He defeated those Sirens in just a few moves. We didn't even contribute at all."

"The military is very happy about our victory today and has given us a lot of material rewards. There will be a celebration banquet tonight."

"Brother, will you go to the party tonight? Don't be so withdrawn. The younger generations all want to meet you."

......

Xia Bai experienced the memories of the past over and over again, and finally came to a dark environment.

He clenched his fists and then unclenched them, and then clenched them again. After doing this for several times, feeling this sense of illusion, Xia Bai was sure.

"As expected, am I in a dream? But why am I dreaming about things in the past? Is it because I saw Temparans today?"

Just as Xia Bai was thinking, a group of orchid butterflies appeared in front of him, dancing around him, and then disappeared.

A lazy and charming voice came to him.

"Why did I enter your dream..."

"Who are you!"

Without answering Xia Bai's question, the voice continued.

"Is it me who dreamed of you, or you who dreamed of me...Zzzz"

"Which is more unfortunate: knowing your fate but being powerless to change it, or knowing nothing and not being able to change it..."

"?"

"Get out of my dream, Riddler!"

As if frightened by Xia Bai's shouting, the voice paused.

"I entered your dream and learned about your past... But I don't understand why you were able to suppress your anger and despair. Is it because of fear... What are you afraid of?"

fear?

Everything about her past was known to the owner of the voice. Could it be that, as she said, she was suppressing her anger and despair out of fear?

No, it's not like that.

"I have never felt despair." Xia Bai answered with certainty.

"You don't deny your anger...but you are indeed afraid. You are afraid of that Siren - Tempalans."

Hearing this, Xia Bai's pupils dilated. Was he afraid of Tianpalans?

"Because you were afraid of her, you suppressed your rage for revenge, didn't you?"

"I...no, it's just that I can't drag glory and terror into this." As if his true feelings were spoken, Xia Bai's rebuttal seemed a little hesitant.

"After watching your past, I know you very well, perhaps even better than you know yourself."

"Look at yourself, fear is not to be ashamed, son of Prometheus."

"You are a person similar to me, unable to change anything in the face of fate. I choose to submit, but you want to resist it all."

Hearing this, Xia Bai came to his senses. He knew him better than he knew himself, knew everything about him, and showed up to guide him when he was at his lowest point.

He clapped his hands together and understood. Isn't this one of the "grandfather" that time travelers must have golden fingers?

According to the setting, the owner of the voice should be a big man who was betrayed and fell in ancient times. As long as he is sincere, she will accept him as a disciple, and he will reach the top of the world from then on.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai said excitedly: "Master, I understand. Please tell me what to do next. Do you have any powerful equipment?"

"Are you still running away... Because you have a responsibility on your shoulders, and this responsibility is not yours to bear. So the huge pressure makes you start to run away."

"The last words of the deceased are the greatest curse to the living."

"Are you still holding on to these unrealistic ideas? Praying for an external force to help you achieve everything."

Upon hearing this, Xia Bai stood there in a daze.

Everything, everything she said was right. After RX-01's death, the pressure on him was enormous, because he was the senior and the second brother, so he had to lead the Sons of Prometheus.

He has no extraordinary strength and no reliable wisdom, so he fantasizes about the appearance of a "golden finger". He was just an ordinary person before he traveled through time.

"......" Xia Bai remained silent.

"I told you that I know you better than you know yourself. Um...are you going to wake up? Although I still want to have a good chat with you, the situation doesn't allow it anymore." The owner of the voice seemed a little sleepy.

"Why are you telling me this?" Xia Bai asked slowly, his voice a little hoarse. Perhaps he really wasn't working as hard for the Son of Prometheus as he thought.

"Fate has led us to meet in a dream. It's all fate. And I am very interested in your existence. Try to let go of your stress and get to know the world more seriously."

The lazy voice became smaller and smaller. It seemed that she would wake up soon as she said. Thinking of this, Xia Bai hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"

"Go to Sakura Empire and become a commander, and you will know..."

...................................

"!"

Waking up from the bed, Xia Bai held his face, which was still covered in cold sweat, and gasped for breath.

“What on earth is this dream about?” Then he looked up and around.

unfamiliar environment.

Classical oil paintings, exquisite wooden furniture, Victorian-style decorations, noble and luxurious. This is the feeling that the room brings to Xia Bai.

After observing the environment, Xia Bai found that his clothes had also been changed into pajamas with fine and smooth fabric.

"Who changed my clothes? And where am I?" Xia Bai wondered.

Thinking back carefully, I should have fallen asleep enjoying the glorious lap pillow after the battle.

Uh, glorious lap pillow.

I was too tired at the time so I didn't feel anything. Now thinking back on it, I couldn't help but blush when I thought about resting my head on Xia Bai's shoulder.

"So, Guanghui must have brought me here... Then who changed my clothes?" Xia Bai leaned against the pillow and pondered the cause and effect.

"Squeak~"

The door was opened.

Chapter 16 Belfast

"Dear guest, are you awake?" The girl who entered the room lifted her skirt with both hands and bowed slightly towards Xia Bai who was lying on the bed.

"Hello, I am the Royal Light Cruiser Belfast."

Xia Bai, who was lying on the bed, stared blankly at Belfast. She had long silver hair and a beautiful figure. Was she wearing a maid's skirt? And what was that thing on her neck? A chain collar?

After a moment's hesitation, he said to Belfast, "Hello, I am RX-02, affiliated with the Son of Prometheus. May I ask how long I have been resting and where is this place?"

"The guest has been asleep for a day and a night, and this is the royal residence." Belfast replied in a gentle tone.

"It seems that Guanghui and Kewei have brought me to the Royal Family. Have I slept for so long? Also, looking at Belfast's clothes, is she a ship maid or something like that?" Xia Bai guessed in his heart.

"Yes, she is a maid. Although she still has a lot to learn, Belfast is the head maid of the Royal Maids." As if seeing through Xia Bai's thoughts, Belfast said slowly.

"You can also read minds?" Xia Bai looked at Belfast with horror. A riddle man appeared in his dream and claimed that he knew him better than he did. Now there is another one in reality?

"Hehe~ Belfast can't read minds." The maid covered her mouth with her jade arms wrapped in white silk gloves and chuckled. Her blue-purple eyes stared at Xia Bai's face carefully. "After all, the guests' thoughts are printed on their faces. They are too easy to guess." Then she bent down to Xia Bai and apologized.

"As a maid, it is really rude to guess what a guest is thinking. I'm sorry, Mr. 02."

As Belfast moved, the chains on her swan-like neck swayed and made noises, and her chest rose and fell.

It's good that it's not another "Riddler", Xia Bai secretly rejoiced. However, are all the shipgirls so plump? Whether it's the Awesome Glory, New Jersey, or even Belfast in front of him, there are a pair of "Giant Cats".

Xia Bai shyly moved his gaze from Belfast's chest to other places, and in his heart he madly complained about his "poor" sisters.

As expected, Son of Prometheus has a fatal flaw compared to KanColle (sad).

"It's okay, it's my problem, Miss Belfast, you don't have to apologize."

"Don't be so polite, Mr. 02, just call me Belfast."

There is nothing to criticize about her etiquette or words. She is a rigorous, elegant, perfect and chic maid.

Belfast left a deep impression on Xia Bai.

Xia Bai didn't say anything. Faced with such a maid, his emotional intelligence was lost again and he fell into social difficulties.

"How is Mr. 02's health? Miss Glory and Miss Terrible are very worried about you." Belfast whispered tentatively.

"Are Guanghui and Kewei still worried about me?" Thinking of this, Xia Bai lifted the quilt and supported himself on the edge of the bed, preparing to stand up.

: "It's okay now. I'll go see them. It's not good to keep them worrying about me."

In fact, this is not the main purpose. In an unfamiliar environment, rather than talking to the maid he met for the first time, he is more inclined to look for the brilliance and awe that he is already familiar with.

After struggling to stand up and stepping on the red fine-pile carpet, Xia Bai said, "Please tell me about the glorious and terrible room, Miss Belfast."

Just as he was about to stand up, Xia Bai felt a strong sense of weakness in his body, his legs softened, and he fell heavily to the ground. Obviously, his body had not fully recovered.

Belfast saw this and quickly stepped forward to support Xia Bai, and put him back on the bed. He frowned and said with concern: "Mr. 02's physical condition has not recovered yet. Don't be too stubborn. This will make it difficult for us maids."

"Hmm... sorry."

Looking at Xia Bai who was breathing heavily, Belfast thought for a moment, then he smoothed Xia Bai's body, gently covered her with the quilt and said, "I will tell Miss Glory and Miss Awesome that you woke up. Mr. 02 still needs to rest, so Belfast will not disturb him too much."

After saying that, he bowed, turned around and left, leaving behind a graceful back.

"I, what's wrong?"

Xia Bai stretched his arms out from under the quilt, and tried to clench his fists to unfold part of his mecha RX-02, feeling the powerlessness and weakness of his body. Not to mention summoning RX-02, he couldn't even clench his fists.

Thinking back carefully, although the core was not hit, Tempalans' terrifying attack still completely shattered the upper body of his machine.
