Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

why?

Being punished like this by her master, as a maid, she should have felt ashamed and sad, but she should have been glad that the punishment was over.

But...but why do I feel lost?

Du Lin was concentrating on applying medicine when he suddenly heard sobbing sounds above his head.

"Wait, why are you crying?"

Du Lin's heart skipped a beat. Did he go too far?

Du Lin knew something about Dido's character. He wanted to use these means to make her stronger, but too much is as bad as too little. If he hurt Dido's feelings, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Just as Du Lin was about to apologize and comfort her, he suddenly noticed something strange.

Dido... doesn't seem sad?

In order to verify his guess, Du Lin exerted a little force with his fingers and pressed down with the intention of hurting the other person.

Dido's sobbing suddenly stopped.

Du Lin was speechless. This Dido had an extraordinary physique and psychology.

The "punishment" that I thought would be effective not only failed to achieve the purpose, but instead became a part of the other party's enjoyment.

It's really infuriating.

Du Lin felt quite aggrieved. He felt that his good intentions just now were like a punch on a pile of cotton. The seemingly sharp attack actually had no effect at all.

Feeling depressed, Du Lin began to look at Sirius, ready to use this accomplice to vent his anger.

"Sirius, you too..."

"Yes, I am Dido's accomplice."

Sirius quickly admitted her "crime". She took a step forward and gently lifted the hem of her skirt, her beautiful red eyes full of anticipation:

"...So Master, when will it be my turn to be punished?"

Du Lin swallowed back the words he hadn't finished speaking.

So that's how it is. As long as I'm proactive enough, then punishment is a reward, right?

Du Lin was completely speechless.

He suddenly felt that he had to re-examine the members of the Royal Maid Team from all angles.

Du Lin thought that he had gotten to know some of the members well after spending three years together, but now it seemed that he was still too young, naive and simple.

With the end of the war, some girls in Hong Kong experienced a major change in their mentality.

They no longer suppressed their desires and launched attacks on Du Lin, either actively or passively.

Seeing that Du Lin did not respond for a long time, Sirius quickly added:

"If it is a punishment from the master, Sirius can accept it at any time. Yes, right now!"

The charming words coupled with the expectant expression made Du Lin laugh and cry.

Sirius's performance is even more obvious.

Du Lin looked at Sirius, who was also wearing snow-white stockings with knotted red ropes on the edges of the stockings. The red ropes extended deep into her skirt, and their final destination made people imagine.

"Ahem, Sirius, I don't think your behavior is serious enough to require punishment, so I'll forgive you this time."

"Eh--"

Sirius showed her disappointment unconcealedly. She looked at Dido, whose face was flushed, and her heart was full of envy.

I really want...I really want my master to punish me too.

I have clearly made sufficient preparations, so why is my master unmoved?

Is it because I am inferior to Dido in some way?

Sirius' mind raced with speculations, each one enough to shake her.

"call......"

Thinking he had solved the problem, Du Lin turned his attention back to Dido.

This time he didn't intend to continue to be lenient with Dido. Even though she looked at him expectantly, Du Lin still stopped.

The application of the medicine was over and Du Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Sirius' voice came from behind.

"My proud master, please forgive Sirius..."

"Eh?"

Du Lin was about to look back when suddenly his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

In the office on the other side, Belfast, who was processing documents, looked up at the clock:

"...That's weird. Does it take so long just to take a walk?"

Volume 24: Chapter Belfast Arrangements

Belfast's words caught Sheffield's attention.

"...Could it be that he was tempted? The commander is coveted by many people nowadays..."

Sheffield's words make sense.

As a person involved, Du Lin has no idea what kind of turbulent waves are hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface of the port.

Charybdis, who was sweeping the dust off the bookshelf with a duster, looked back:

"But with Sirius and Dido following us, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

Sheffield shook his head and denied this judgment:

"No, no, maybe the two of them are the source of danger."

As a fellow member of the maid team, Sheffield is well aware of Sirius and Dido's personalities.

Both of them admired the commander immensely, and had morbidly strong feelings for him.

Normally, both of them could still restrain themselves, but once they were in the right environment and under the right stimulation, their suppressed strong emotions would probably erupt instantly.

Such situations are not uncommon in the port area, but most of them are rational enough.

And this is exactly what Dido and Sirius lack.

"Wow~ Isn't the master in danger now?" Charybdis showed a worried look.

"...Master, he always puts himself in danger. But..." Sheffield showed his hand directly:

"Belfast, why did you choose Dido and Sirius as the secretary ship? Aren't Sister Edinburgh and Hermione obviously better choices?"

After saying that, Sheffield narrowed his eyes:

"...Please don't say that you are attracted by their fighting power. Such a reason may deceive the master, but it cannot deceive me."

This question had arisen since Sheffield learned of the list of candidates. Now that the two people involved were not around, it was the best time to ask.

"Hehe~ Xie Fei, you really can't help it~"

Belfast smiled as if he had expected it.

Although Sheffield was a little uncomfortable with this calm and confident smile, he had to admit that it was very charming.

She is worthy of being called "Maid God" by the commander.

"Since Xie Fei asked, I can't hide it~"

Belfast put down the pen in his hand and moved his wrist gently:

"...You two, why do you think we need five secretary ships?"

"Hmm..." Charybdis thought for a moment and said softly:

"Is it to better assist the master?"

"Haha~ That's right, as expected of Charybdis, the first thing he thought of was to serve." Belfast praised and continued:

"But apart from that, setting up five secretary ships is more for ourselves."

"In the past three years, we have worked together under the leadership of the commander to fight against powerful enemies. We have never had the opportunity to express our feelings to the commander."

"So, this arrangement of five secretary ships per week is to create this opportunity."

Belfast stood up and walked to the French window, looking out at the harbor view:

"...So, no matter what you do to the commander during this period, it can be forgiven~"

"I see~" Charybdis' eyes sparkled. The naive girl didn't think too much about it. She just felt that the scope of her service to her master had increased.

Sheffield was confused, and she finally understood Belfast's intention.

"But... why Dido and Sirius first? In terms of eagerness alone, the Queen is definitely not inferior to them."

In fact, when Queen Elizabeth learned that she was not among the candidates for secretary ship in the first week, she was devastated and it took a lot of fuss to calm down.

"Oh, is this hard to understand?" Belfast said as a matter of course:

"Of course it's because His Majesty is too shy. If she comes, the whole week will be wasted in a tug of war. It's better to let Sirius and Dido get what they want first. The two of them... especially Dido, although they are usually very weak in front of the master, once they get serious, their boldness will exceed our imagination."

Belfast looked out the window.

"According to my estimation, a week is enough for their relationship with their master to develop by leaps and bounds. I am really looking forward to seeing how far they can go. They are qualified warriors, but they are lacking in service~"

Charybdis didn't notice this, she was thinking about how to cure Durin next. I have already cleaned his ears, do you want to massage his feet next time?

Sheffield's heart was beating faster.

She knew exactly what Belfast meant.

Since Belfast chose Dido and Sirius with this in mind, what about me? Was I chosen for this reason as well?

Really... I was underestimated.

Sheffield was in a state of confusion, when she suddenly noticed that Belfast was smiling at her.

At this moment, Sheffield felt that his thoughts had been completely seen through.

"Tsk, worthy of being called the 'Maid God'..."

"Hehe~ Thank you for the compliment. I like this title very much."

Belfast smiled sweetly, and then returned to work gracefully:

"Okay, the break is over, let's get back to the work at hand."

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

As Belfast expected, Sirius and Dido really lost control.

However, this loss of control came earlier and was more intense than Belfast expected.

"Woo..."

Du Lin regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, what he saw was the familiar ceiling.

"I am..."

Many scenes flashed back in his mind. He remembered that he carried Dido back to his residence, prepared to apply ointment to her, and then...

"Wait! Sirius!"

Du Lin suddenly remembered that he was attacked from behind by Sirius and then fainted.

Realizing this, Du Lin wanted to get up, but was shocked to find his hands and feet were tied.

"How is this going?"

"Ah, Master...are you awake?"

A familiar voice came from above his head. Du Lin struggled to twist his neck to look, and the scene he saw made his heart and lungs stop.

At this moment Sirius and Dido were standing there.
