Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

Even if he didn't say it, Sheffield cared about Du Lin no less than anyone else.

The important matters had been taken care of, and the maids' tea time continued.

This time their conversation turned to other matters.

“What a peaceful time.”

Sheffield squinted his eyes and enjoyed the warm breeze blowing in from the window.

In the past three years, there have not been many moments like this to enjoy afternoon tea in peace.

Charybdis also looked relaxed:

"I always feel like... these days are like a dream. The master doesn't have to work so hard, and everyone can stay in the port area. Ah, this kind of life is really wonderful~"

Most of the ship girls are not warlike, and their battle with the Sirens is only to protect the commander.

They have been looking forward to a peaceful life for a long time.

Moved, Sheffield whispered:

"...But if we keep going like this, we will only become dull. Charybdis, what else do you want to do besides fighting?"

It's not just Du Lin who is struggling with how to enjoy a peaceful life. Many ship girls, including Sheffield, are also confused.

Over the past three years, they have become accustomed to being in a state of war.

So what's next?

Besides fighting, what else can they do for the commander?

In response to Sheffield's question, Charybdis responded with a matter-of-fact expression:

"Of course, I serve the Master~ Actually... I have a lot of things I want to do for the Master, but I haven't had the chance in the past three years. In addition to today's ear cleaning and knee pillow, I have more skills to serve the Master~ Of course, these are all secrets~"

"As expected of you..."

Sheffield looks to Belfast:

"...What about you?"

The head maid, who had remained silent until now, was stunned when she heard this.

Volume 29: Chapter Preparation before a date

In Belfast's heart, maid is not just a label, but also the path she pursues throughout her life.

Taking care of the Queen and serving the Commander has been Belfast's unswerving goal over the past three years, and she has never doubted her choice.

But today, when Belfast learned what Dido and Sirius had done, his heart was shaken.

On the one hand, it was because people were amazed at the two people's excessive behavior, and on the other hand, Belfast saw a completely different possibility in the two people.

Sirius and Dido are also beings who practice the way of maids.

Although they have many shortcomings now, with their qualifications they will definitely be able to become qualified maids in the future.

But today, the two of them broke the boundaries they had adhered to in the past and did all kinds of "excessive" things to their master.

Belfast did not agree with the behavior of losing one's mind for the love in one's heart, but he felt a little...envious.

In the past three years, Belfast has always adhered to the way of a maid. While serving Du Lin wholeheartedly, she has always endured her inner feelings and deliberately maintained a minimum sense of distance from her master.

Because Belfast knows what a heavy responsibility lies on the master's shoulders.

I can't cause more trouble to my master because of my own problems.

But now that the war is over, do I really have to continue to maintain the same way of getting along as in the past three years? Can I really still face my master with the same mentality as in the past three years?

Belfast was not sure, and her heart was unable to give an accurate answer when faced with this question.

"What's wrong?" Sheffield frowned and asked without waiting for an answer:

"...You've been acting weird since you came back."

"Yeah......"

Belfast gave a bitter smile, but she did not deny it.

"By the way." Belfast did not respond to the question directly, but suddenly asked back:

"Speaking of which, do you know what to pay attention to when dating?"

In an instant, the room was dead silent.

"A...a date?!"

Charybdis cried out, and covered his red face with his hands.

"With...with the master?"

"Of course~" Belfast smiled brightly:

"I can't have any other date except the master. Not long ago, the master invited me to a date tomorrow."

Charybdis had steam coming out of his head, and he said dizzily:

"A date with the master..."

This was something Charybdis dared not even think about.

The teacup in Sheffield's hand was shaking slightly.

"...Really? Is this a way of showing off?"

Sheffield put the cup down, took a deep breath and calmed down:

"...I'm sorry, but I don't have any advice to give. After all, I have never had any relevant experience. Is it the same for Charybdis?"

Charybdis nodded heavily.

There is only one person who can be their date, and that is Du Lin.

However, in the past three years, no ship girl in the port has ever dated Durin.

If you must say, then the previous time when Durin and Frederick the Great went out on business could probably be counted as one time?

But no one thinks so.

"As expected..."

Although he knew the result, Belfast still felt a little melancholy.

She had no way of gaining any useful experience from her fellow members of the Royal Maid Corps.

"Sorry, I'll leave today."

Belfast put down his teacup and stood up:

"I need to go gather some information about the date first."

After saying this, Belfast bowed slightly to Sheffield and the other man, then turned and left the office.

"...How meticulous."

Looking at the departing figure, Sheffield muttered to himself.

"After all, it's a date with the master, so I must be adequately prepared!" Charybdis smiled and looked very excited.

Sheffield blinked:

"...Charybdis, don't you feel...jealous?"

"Jealous?" Charybdis asked puzzledly:

"Why are you jealous? Isn't the master the master of everyone?"

Sheffield was defeated, Charybdis's "consciousness" was far above hers.

But Sheffield was also happy for Belfast.

During these three years, Belfast's contribution to its host city and the port area has been witnessed by all.

It would be great if the Commander really made the invitation with that kind of feeling.

Charybdis was in high spirits:

"It would be great...a date with the Master...when will I have such an opportunity?"

Sheffield asked meaningfully:

"...He will definitely be willing to date you."

"Really?" Charybdis was excited:

"But why are you so sure?"

Sheffield glanced at Charybdi's heavy load of fruit and did not answer the question.

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

Belfast left the office and returned to his residence in the residential area.

Unlike Frederick the Great, Belfast did not live alone, but lived in the same dormitory building with many of his companions in the royal camp.

Of course, even though it is a dormitory, everyone has their own room.

Belfast's room was large, tidy and spotless, a manifestation of her meticulous character.

"I remember... it was here. Ah, I found it."

Belfast took a book from the bookshelf and sat down at the table to read it carefully.

Belfast's room is filled with books, which she uses to while away the time between her daily missions.

Belfast had never read the book titled "Super Useful! Capture the One You Love in One Day!" before, because in her opinion, there was no need to learn it.

Flipping through the slightly yellowed pages, Belfast began to read carefully.

Maybe there is something in here that can help me.

But as he continued reading, Belfast's confusion not only did not ease, but became even worse.

"Dating... is this what you're doing?"

The content of the book is very... bold.

She didn't expect the content of the book to be so radical.

There are not only text descriptions, but also a large number of exquisite drawings as auxiliary explanations.

Belfast read the contents very carefully and tried to remember them as much as possible.

"Snapped!"

She closed the book.

Belfast had finished reading, and she had a vague feeling of certainty about her date tomorrow.

Although it is the host's invitation, you must also be careful not to do anything to spoil the fun, because that would be trampling on the host's good intentions.

"The first thing to address... is the clothing issue."

Belfast stood up and walked to the closet. When she opened the door, what came into view was a long row of maid uniforms of exactly the same style.

"There really is no choice."

Volume 30: Chapter : First Date

Late at night, Du Lin was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, already thinking about tomorrow's events.

dating?

This is a first for Du Lin.

Although she had gone out alone with Frederick the Great before, it was due to annoying official business and had nothing to do with a date full of romantic fantasies.
