I, Azure Commander!

"Useless Master?"

"That's what he is... a hopeless loser..."

The second half of the sentence was spoken very softly and was vaguely inaudible, but it didn't matter. The girl seemed to be just expressing her dissatisfaction. As for the wording she used, she didn't deliberately organize it, and Lin Xiao didn't care either.

Lin Xiao slowly pulled out his arm that was pressed under the girl, feeling the numbing sensation. For a moment he could only smile bitterly.

What else can I say? I can only say that people should not be impulsive. If I hadn't said those words to Newcastle out of anger last night, things wouldn't have turned out like this, right?

Thinking of Newcastle, Lin Xiao immediately turned his head to look to the other side, only to find that the pair of blue-gray eyes had opened at some point and were looking at him calmly.

“…When did you wake up?”

"Just now... probably when the master started talking to Sheffield."

After Newcastle finished speaking, he was still unwilling to let go of Lin Xiao's arm. He still rested his head on his arm, hugged his waist, put his face on his chest, and rubbed it comfortably.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me last night... Newcastle, it seems like I have seen a completely different world..."

"Don't say weird things like this anymore. It can easily lead to misunderstandings and may teach children bad lessons."

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at her helplessly, then hugged the girl, his hand resting on the girl's waist without moving at all.

"Master, are you going to get up?"

Newcastle looked up at him, and seemed to slowly remember the identity and job of a maid, and slowly returned to reality from a beautiful dream.

"No, lie down for a while, it's still early..."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he reached out with his free hand to pick up the phone on the bedside table and began to scroll through the morning news as usual.

"Ah."

Newcastle did not say anything, but just hummed softly, sticking to him like a cat, with a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Owner……"

After a long time, the girl's voice finally came again.

"uh-huh?"

Lin Xiao responded absentmindedly while scrolling through his phone.

“Now I feel very happy~”

"……Really?"

"Of course, it's the kind of happiness that's about to burst my heart. It's really wonderful... My life before seemed so ordinary, but the days after meeting you again - although it was only a short day, it was so unforgettable. I feel that if it continues like this, it will be difficult for me to remain normal..."

The girl's sudden confession obviously caught Lin Xiao off guard, but Newcastle did not continue talking. Everything was just a hint or an indication.

She just boldly expressed her true feelings and thoughts. As for the specific choice... As I said before, a maid's job is never to make her master feel embarrassed.

After all, even if it is such a life... even if the happiness at this moment is just a short moment that will never come again, for Newcastle, it is already very satisfying...

They are girls born to serve. The meaning of their birth is dedication. They never ask for too much...

Chapter 31 Heading to Port Lemi

For the girl, it felt like a huge relief to have revealed all her feelings.

But for Lin Xiao, his mood is somewhat heavy... Or rather, it is not his mood that is heavy, but the overly selfless love of the girl beside him.

Isn't it too cunning to show such an expression and say such words at a time like this?

Finally, he couldn't help but pull his arm away and touch the hair of the somewhat uneasy girl.

"I think...it will probably take some time."

It sounds like nonsense words, like he is expressing something, or like he is just talking to himself.

But the petite girl narrowed her eyes, showing a relieved expression, and moved closer to her master, rubbing her chest, and making comfortable sounds from her throat like a cat.

Time passed little by little, and Sheffield on the other side also came up and stuck together with Lin Xiao, enjoying this moment of tenderness.

When she was called away by Newcastle at the beginning of last night, her heart was in turmoil. After all, it was too sudden, but she wanted to go and had to go.

It is a maid's duty to serve her master in every aspect.

After officially arriving at the room, the nervousness and uneasiness seemed to be mixed with excitement and anticipation. As a maid, Sheffield was a bit despicable, a maid with a bad taste who would play jokes on her master. However, as a girl, Sheffield had never concealed her love for the commander.

If I could get what I wanted, I would of course be very happy...but what about the result?

This guy... I really can't figure out whether he has a bad taste or is simply a coward.

But no matter how to say it, even though it felt a bit like a false alarm, last night was still a good thing after all. Even if I can only sleep with the person I love in my arms like this, even if it's only occasionally, it seems that I'm already very happy.

However, such happy time is short-lived after all - it is almost time to get up.

In fact, if it were in the past, they should have gotten up by this time. As maids, their work and rest schedule is naturally a little different from that of other ship girls in the port. They need to get up earlier because they have work to do in the morning. Similarly, they have to go to bed later at night. Compared with other ship girls, the daily life of the maids is obviously much harder.

Especially since there were only two maids in the house before and Sirius was not very reliable, Sheffield had a lot of work to do. It can be said that he was busy from morning to night every day. Even so, he had no complaints and even enjoyed it.

Now I feel more relaxed, which is a good thing, but I can't relax myself too much because of this. I have to get up when I should, even if...

Well, Sheffield was just about to take action, feeling the warmth in the quilt, feeling the owner who was so close and visible, and thinking back, the last time he had such an experience was when he had just returned.

Otherwise, just lie down for a while, just a little while...

The ticking sound of the clock hands kept echoing in my ears. As time passed, the two maids who had been staying in bed at the same time finally had to get up.

Fortunately, although they appeared in their master's room early in the morning, they were maids after all, and they had legitimate reasons.

To wake up the owner, or to help clean the room, in short, as long as the clothes are put on and get into the working state, any explanation is possible.

Lin Xiao watched the two girls get out of bed, quickly washed up and changed into maid outfits.

It was almost time for him to get up.

"Master, it's time to get up~"

Just as if he had just knocked on the door and entered his room, Newcastle, who had entered working mode, slowly lifted a corner of the quilt, but saw a strand of long brown hair fallen on the bed. His face suddenly turned slightly red. He quickly picked up the hair and put it in his pocket. Then he slowly supported Lin Xiao's back to let him sit up, helped him unbutton his pajamas little by little, and then changed him into the clothes he was going to wear today.

I have to say that the feeling of completely emptying my mind and letting the maid help me put on my clothes is a bit strange and a bit uncomfortable, but it is really nice.

It was not until the little maid lifted his feet and helped him put on slippers that Lin Xiao finally woke up completely. He stood up and walked to the bathroom. Another little maid, Sheffield, had already prepared hot water for washing his face and wiped his face with a hot towel.

The toothbrush was already filled with toothpaste and placed on the quilt filled with warm mouthwash. Newcastle chuckled and said, "Do you want me to brush your teeth for you, Master?"

Isn't this not good?

It’s okay for getting dressed and washing your face, but wouldn’t it be too depraved if you need a maid to help you brush your teeth?

But Lin Xiao finally nodded reluctantly, and the maid, who was not tall enough, quickly brought a stool for him to sit on by the sink - otherwise, she would have to stand on tiptoes to help him brush his teeth, and that was obviously not a good choice.

Sheffield did not stay any longer and left first, probably to do his daily cleaning work.

After washing up, he went out with the maid in high spirits. Because he got up a little earlier than usual, breakfast was not ready yet. Several children were already sitting on the sofa and watching TV. For them, such a leisurely and comfortable life was only limited to the period before they returned to the port area.

Lin Xiao thought about it and decided not to tell the children the cruel facts at this time.

I picked up a loli at random. Today it was the Dragoon. This child had a serious personality and immediately said that this was inappropriate - as a ship girl and a subordinate, how could she sit on the commander's lap?

But Lin Xiao didn't care. Although the child wanted to insist on his own opinion, he couldn't get rid of the commander after all. After a while, with a rosy little face, he sat obediently in the commander's arms.

The little head rested on the commander's chest, and the small, soft belly was hugged by the commander. She didn't want to watch the originally interesting TV program anymore, and her attention was not on the TV at all.

Lin Xiao was very used to holding a child, even to the point where she felt uncomfortable sitting on the sofa without the cute child in her arms, so she was watching the TV program with great interest.

The morning time was always so leisurely. As the number of maids returning suddenly increased to five, even the maids became much more leisurely than before, and all this continued until after breakfast.

"Let me simply summarize the current information..."

Lin Xiao and a few reliable girls sat together and began to discuss business.

"According to the information provided by Dido and Aurora, they should be the only ship girls stranded in this port in our port area, so logically speaking, there is no need to stay in this city any longer and we can go to the next location."

"But as for where to go next... Aurora and the others don't know the situation in the nearby cities, so we have two choices now - one is to search each city one by one, and then go to Remi Port to find Elizabeth and the others who have already been confirmed, or go directly to Remi Port and find Elizabeth and the others first to see if we can get more information. This will make it easier to find the remaining girls."

"From the perspective of efficiency, the latter is better..."

Based on the information compiled by Tianying, Lin Xiao thought that it would be too time-consuming and troublesome to search one by one.

Dido and the others were separated from the main force, so it was normal that they didn't know the news of other ship girls. However, as Elizabeth was a large force, it was very likely that someone knew where the scattered ship girls had gone, and they now knew where Elizabeth was - that girl seemed to live in the old palace of the queen of Area E, and I really don't know how she lived there...

Another reason that prompted Lin Xiao to choose the latter was that the palace was big enough and there was no need to worry about accommodation. If he went somewhere else first, he would have to bring so many ship girls with him now, and there might be more and more in the future. He might even have to bring thirty or forty ship girls with him in the future, and the accommodation issue alone would be a headache.

Go to Elizabeth first, and then you can place the ship girls there first, and you can take a few less ship girls with you to find people elsewhere.

After determining the target, there was naturally no need to waste any more time. After Lin Xiao asked Haitian to finish everything here, he simply packed up his things and planned to drive directly to Remi Port.

Although this place is not very close to Remi Port, the total area of ​​Zone E is not large after all. Even if it is far away, it actually does not take too much time. If you drive, it will take about half a day to get there.

Of course, there was no need to worry about vehicle issues. After getting in the car one by one, everyone drove straight towards Remi Port.

The time on the road would be predictably boring, so Lin Xiao deliberately chose to be in the same car with Javelin and Dido. He could hold the children and play with his mobile phone. When he got tired of playing, he could lie on Dido's lap and take a comfortable nap.

By the evening, they arrived at their destination as scheduled.

Remi Port is worthy of being the most famous port in Zone E. It is also basically one of the most developed cities in Zone E. The previous port was not small in scale and the urban construction was also very complete, but compared with the current Remi Port, there is still a big gap.

There was no need to waste time elsewhere, nor was there any need to waste time looking for a place to stay. Everyone's target was directly in the direction of the old palace, to find Elizabeth and the others directly.

The sunset glowed gradually and quietly in the sky. Since we had not left home very early and had been on the road for a whole day, everyone was somewhat tired.

However, looking at the world that was gradually dyed red, such a unique scenery seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, and the fatigue of the journey seemed to be slightly relieved. After a while, the outline of the palace could be seen outside the car window...

Chapter 32 Little Beifa is so cute

The palace looks particularly magnificent under the setting sun. The pure white walls against the red glow show a beauty that is not there during the day. It seems like something out of a dream. It is really a great feeling.

The vehicle stopped at the gate of the palace.

Because it is the old royal palace, there are no guards guarding it, and now the owner has changed, so the front of the gate seems a bit deserted.

However, the door was simply closed, and when I looked inside through the gap in the iron railings, I didn't see any figure.

How to do this?

Lin Xiao got out of the car and saw the tightly closed iron gate. If the ship girls lived in the palace, they probably wouldn't be able to hear him even if he shouted from outside, right?

Besides, this place is not far from the residential area, so shouting is obviously not a good option.

"give it to me."

Sheffield, who got out of the car right after him, suddenly took a half step forward, walked to Lin Xiao's side and said.

The next moment, she quickly stepped forward, jumped lightly, put her palms on the iron bars, and jumped directly over.

With amazing jumping ability and agile body, although she looks like just a petite girl, I believe that no matter who sees this scene, they will not be stingy with their applause.

Should I say it's you?

Lin Xiao was reminded of some of Sheffield’s “agent” settings.

After entering the iron gate, Sheffield quickly regained the elegance of a maid, walked quickly towards the interior of the palace, and soon entered the palace. After only a short while, she came out with an even smaller child.

The child seemed to be only as tall as Sheffield's shoulders, much smaller than a child like Javelin. She was wearing a tiny maid outfit and trotted over with her skirt slightly lifted. The lace headband on her head looked to complement her tiny body and was as cute as an angel.

"It's really the master!"

The adorable child almost jumped for joy. She hurried forward to open the door. Before she could perform a standard maid's salute, Lin Xiao picked her up. With very skillful hands, he lifted up her calves wrapped in white silk and held her in his arms.

“Waaaaaa——! Master?”

Little Beifa was obviously startled and cried out in surprise.

"Xiao Beifa, it's really Xiao Beifa, I miss you so much..."

"Woo... Master, little Beifa misses you too."

Little Beifa hugged his owner's neck with a red face, rubbed his little face against the side of his face, and gave his owner a kiss on the cheek. He blinked his eyes and looked at his owner who was so close to him coquettishly.

Lin Xiao was stunned on the spot for a moment, the excessive feeling of happiness made him a little absent-minded for a moment, he touched the face that had just been kissed, hugged the little angel in his arms tighter, and kissed little Beifa on the face, which immediately made her laugh like a silver bell.

There are many children in Hong Kong, many of them are cute, many are obedient and sensible, and many are naughty and lively. But if you ask Lin Xiao who his favorite child is, little Beckham can definitely be in the top three.

She is so cute!

The small body is cute, the slender legs wrapped in white silk are cute, the soft face is cute, the big eyes are cute, and the way she looks at you with her mouth slightly open is even cuter. When she lifts up the slightly long skirt to salute, it is so cute that it almost makes people vomit blood.

Who could resist a little maid like this?

As soon as Lin Xiao held the child in his arms, he couldn't bear to put her down, so he walked directly into the courtyard of the palace with little Beifa in his arms, staring at the little girl's cute profile, almost wanting to bite it to feel the softness and smoothness like jelly.

"Well... well, Master."

Little Belfast seemed a little uncomfortable, and poked Lin Xiao's face carefully, "Belfast thinks it's not good for the master to carry the maid like this... Belfast is obviously a maid, and should serve the master."
