In addition to the invitation, there were several gifts. The first was a bottle of red wine, the brand of which was unknown.

Guanghui explained, "This is the red wine that Befa brewed 17 years ago. It's everyone's favorite of all her creations."

Nagato nodded and carefully put the wine aside. She didn't actually drink.

Then there was a bone china tea set with blue flowers on a white background and gold lines, a large pot, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, and then six sets of tea sets including cups, saucers, spoons, and a tray.

"This is bone china produced in the town of Sut in District O. This one is called Rose Blue and White Porcelain. It is a type highly praised by Her Majesty the Queen." Guanghui explained further.

Nagato nodded and carefully put it aside.

Although the Imperial Navy's shipgirls love to drink tea, the Sakura Empire's shipgirls are also good at the tea ceremony. However, the difference between the two is quite large.

The royal tea is mostly black tea, and is served with milk and sugar. The tea of Juezakura is different, mostly green tea, which is divided into many types, including sencha, matcha, etc.

Although the tea set given by Kouki is beautiful, Nagato probably won't be able to use it much.

The last gift was a book. Nagato took it out and opened it with some doubt. Suddenly, a hesitant expression appeared on his face. "This is..."

"This is something Her Majesty Elizabeth insisted on sending." Guanghui also showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

You couldn't tell what was inside the white cover, but when you opened it, you saw a huge picture of a towering castle standing on a small island.

The waves hit the gray-white bricks and stones of the castle, breaking into pieces of water splashes, making the castle look even taller.

Tiancheng looked at it, "Is this a castle? The built castle?"

Guanghui nodded. "This is a set of atlases that His Majesty specially ordered the maid team to publish. It mainly introduces the situation of the castle."

Nagato's fingertips landed on the pages of the book and he slowly turned the pages while Amagi watched from the side.

It is more like an instruction manual of the castle than an atlas, which introduces the exterior and interior of the castle in detail.

The city gate, drawbridge, guard tower, corridor, main building, etc. were introduced as well as the canteen, residence, wine cellar, etc.

Each place was photographed from multiple angles and then accompanied by a text description.

For example, next to the image of the watchtower it says, "Although we don't need this, its presence makes this fortress more perfect and worthy of the royal glory."

The other descriptions are all like this, full of a smelly feeling from the inside out.

As Tiancheng watched, he seemed to see a proud little kid standing in front of him with his hands on his hips, showing off his new toy.

"What a beautiful castle," she said.

Guanghui nodded.

Nagato also put the book aside carefully, then looked at Guanghui and said solemnly, "I have received the invitation, I will definitely go."

Everyone tacitly agreed not to discuss the issue of the castle's instructions, and just regarded it as a little willful behavior of Her Majesty Elizabeth.

In the reception room next door, Huang Chen handed the snacks that Newcastle had just sent to the little girl in front of him.

The latter took it quite naturally, put it in his mouth, and commented, "Not bad, but it seems to have been stored for a long time."

Did this kid just fall and get his head hurt? ...Huang Chen watched silently from the side. He clearly looked sober, so why was he just focused on eating snacks?

Chapter 388: Sneak Attack, Unfair Victory

"This is very good, but a little dry." Bu Qu swallowed another biscuit and commented.

"Have some tea." Huang Chen handed over a cup of black tea, which was brewed by Newcastle and just delivered.

The little girl took it with both hands, gently put it to her nose and sniffed it, her small nostrils moved slightly, and then a happy expression appeared on her face, "It smells so good!"

The girl's eyes were curved like crescent moons, and the smile on her lips was as cute as a cat.

He drank half a cup of black tea in big gulps and reached out for the snacks on the table.

But he caught nothing, and Huang Chen reached out and moved the plate with snacks away.

"Hmm?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Huang Chen in confusion, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? How can you ask such a question? Don't you understand the current situation?

Huang Chen's mind was a little confused for a moment, and the girl's righteous words even made him speechless for a moment.

Bu Qu looked at Huang Chen who didn't answer, but didn't care. He stood up and reached for the snacks.

The veins on Huang Chen's forehead bulged. He pressed the little girl's head with one hand and pushed her back into her seat. "I say, don't you feel anything strange?"

"What's so strange..." Bu Qu muttered to himself, and suddenly realized, "I...why am I here? And Commander Huang Chen, when did you come back?"

Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Edinburgh had accidentally pushed the girl to the point of inaction. She seemed fine now; it was just temporary amnesia.

"Calm down first and think carefully about what happened just now. We were next to the torii gate..." Huang Chen raised his hand and spoke softly to prevent the little girl from overreacting.

"Just now..." Bu Qu lowered his head with some confusion. The next moment, his face began to turn red, spreading like a drop of ink in clear water. In less than ten seconds, his little face became as red as an apple.

"I'm a Vatican Knight, and I was actually... actually... pinned to the ground, right in front of Commander Huang Chen."

The little girl secretly raised her head and found Huang Chen staring at her silently. Suddenly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she pushed Huang Chen's face with a palm, then stood up as if she wanted to run away.

Huang Chen was quick to grab the girl's arm and drag her back. "It's okay, it's okay, calm down first, calm down first."

Buqu returned to the chair and squatted aside, his little face still red, and he didn't say a word.

After a long time, he finally seemed to calm down and explained in a muffled voice, "I, just now was careless, careless. If it was a head-on confrontation, this would never happen."

Huang Chen was a little amused. Although he had some doubts about the little girl's fighting ability, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he comforted her, "Edinburgh was ignorant and launched a surprise attack. It was an unfair victory."

"Edinburgh!" The maid standing at the door looked up when she heard her name.

Unyielding took a deep breath and nodded, "That's it. If it's a fair fight, there will be no problem."

Huang Chen was about to continue comforting her when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door. He turned around and saw Edinburgh walking in, walking quickly towards Buqu.

What does it mean? Edinburgh is not convinced and wants a fair fight?

Huang Chen was puzzled and felt a slight toothache. What was going on in Edinburgh? How did he get in by himself?

Bu Qu looked at the figure walking towards him in a maid uniform, and the scene just now seemed to emerge in his mind. He shuddered all over and jumped up to hide beside Huang Chen.

Pulling at the corner of Huang Chen's clothes, revealing half of his head, he pointed at Edinburgh and said tremblingly, "What are you going to do? I, I'm not afraid of you!"

Huang Chen also stood up and protected Bu Qu behind him.

Edinburgh's face was serious. He walked quickly to the front of Unyielding, then bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Unyielding. I was too aggressive just now."

Bu Qu was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Huang Chen in confusion, then looked at Edinburgh and asked carefully, "What did you say?"

Huang Chen also had a strange expression on his face, and he put down the hand he had just raised.

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Edinburgh looked up in confusion, pushed his glasses, and took another step forward, almost reaching the unyielding face.

Then he said loudly, "I'm sorry, Miss Unyielding, I just overreacted."

Bu Qu swallowed his saliva, as if he had not expected Edinburgh to come and apologize in person. He adjusted his hair in a daze.

Then he slowly said, "Although you were the one who attacked me, you have apologized so sincerely. As a Vatican Knight, I am not incapable of forgiving you."

A smile appeared on Edinburgh's lips.

Huang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. At any rate, as long as the conflict between the two of them was resolved, it was fine. He waved towards Edinburgh, signaling the girl to leave now.

Edinburgh nodded, stood up and walked out of the room.

The misunderstanding was finally resolved. Neither the Commander nor Bu Qu seemed to have any intention of pursuing the matter any further. So let's find a place to rest now!

Suddenly a small figure rushed over, and the huge impact hit Edinburgh's stomach.

"vomit--"

The maid girl stumbled and nearly vomited her breakfast, she looked down and saw a little girl with long silver hair.

"Edinburgh, what misunderstanding did you have with Buqu just now?" said Evil with a bad look on his face.

In the reception room, with Edinburgh's departure, Bu Qu also relaxed, walked out from behind Huang Chen and returned to his seat.

Huang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was still good. The next step was to have a good chat about why this little guy came to find him.

Although he was quickly subdued at the Torii Gate, Huang Chen still remembered the little guy's arrogant words, "Do you have a sense of honor commensurate with your status?"

To be honest, when Huang Chen first heard this, he thought this guy was looking for trouble, after all, this sentence sounded unfriendly.

But now it seems that the little guy might just be putting on airs out of habit.

He looked at the girl, only to find that she had been studying the dessert on the table again.

What a carefree guy... Huang Chen thought, then coughed, attracting the little guy's attention, "Um... unyielding, right?"

"Hmm?" Bu Qu stuffed half a peach slice in his mouth and swallowed it with black tea, then raised his eyebrows in some confusion.

"I say... have you forgotten something?" Huang Chen looked at the girl's self-righteous and doubtful expression and said unhappily, "You asked me before whether I have a sense of honor commensurate with my status. What did you mean by that?!"

Chapter 389 I Want to Try to Get Along with You

A sense of honor commensurate with one's status.

What identity? Huang Chen was puzzled for a long time.

Bu Qu was stunned for a moment, then stood up, wiped his mouth, straightened his clothes, and put on a stern face again, as if trying to look dignified.

"It's like this. Commander Huang Chen, I would like to live in your port area for a while."

"What?" Huang Chen frowned, thinking he had misheard.

After all, a strange ship girl suddenly ran up to a commander and said something like, "I want to live in your port for a while," and it was almost as if she had the words "I want to join your port" written on her face.

But the key point is that Huang Chen doesn’t know the guy in front of him.

"I want to live in your harbor for a while." Bu Qu thought Huang Chen didn't hear clearly, so he repeated, "I want to try to get along with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Chen's expression suddenly became even stranger.

Try to spend some time together... That's what most people say on a blind date, right? What on earth does this guy mean?

In addition to what I just said about being commensurate with one's status.

Could it be that she is the ship girl who became famous after hearing about my achievements in the C14 area?

Bu Qu looked at Huang Chen's troubled expression, but misunderstood him and asked hesitantly, "Commander Huang Chen is unwilling?"

"This is not a question of willingness or not..." Huang Chen grinned.

Bu Qu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said solemnly to Huang Chen, "I know that Commander Huang Chen looks down on my current strength. After all, I'm just a newly born ship girl. Although I carry the honor of a Vatican Knight, I don't have any actual combat experience."

"But I swear by the dignity of a knight. I will continue to grow stronger, overcome all difficulties, and learn from the powerful Commander Huang Chen!"

"And Commander Huang Chen can dispatch me at will. Just treat me as an ordinary ship girl in the port area. You can order me about anything, such as sorties, combat, or daily work!"

Unyielding said firmly and seriously.

Huang Chen was a little confused. Although he understood what the girl meant, he still couldn't figure out what she was trying to do.

After you complete this process, all that’s left for you to join the port is to call me commander, right?

"Actually, that's not what I meant." Huang Chen thought for a moment and said slowly. Seeing the determination flash across the girl's face again, he quickly added, "If you want to come and live in my harbor for a while, of course there's no problem. I welcome you, very much."

Joy finally showed on the little girl's face, and she nodded towards Huang Chen, "I will definitely work hard! Commander Huang Chen..."

Huang Chen sighed and finally asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time, "Um... where did you know me, KanColle Headquarters?"

Unyielding raised his head, as if wondering why someone would ask such a question, but he still answered, "Vile told me. Vicious is so kind to me. Not only is she powerful, she's also willing to share the method to become powerful with me."

"She was the one who told me that Commander Huang Chen was a powerful and honorable commander, and she also suggested that I follow you to meet him."

Unyielding said, a look of shame suddenly appeared on his face, "But I was afraid of contact with the commander at the time, so I kept hiding in the vicious room."

Huang Chen had a strange expression on his face. It turned out he'd been tricked by Evil. Along the way, Evil had often disappeared inexplicably. Perhaps it was during his encounters with Unyielding? He nodded, motioning for the girl to continue.

"Fortunately, I met Miss Tiancheng again. She made me understand that only by personal understanding can we make judgments. She made me determined to get along with Commander Huang Chen." Bu Qu said seriously, and there seemed to be a hint of gratitude and guilt on his little face.

It turns out there's Tiancheng, who, along with Evil, has tricked Unyielding into submission... Huang Chen listened silently. Unyielding before him, yet there's still Unyielding Guanghui. Unyielding, it turns out your sister is the best at deceiving people.

He grinned, "Vicious is your sister, and Amagi is the secretary ship in the port area. They are both very good people. You can ask them for help if you have any questions in the future."

Unyielding nodded, "I will learn from Vicious and Miss Tiancheng."

Huang Chen poured the girl another cup of tea and pushed the dessert over to her. Bu Qu took it with a smile.

So both of them were very happy.

The tea was finished and the snacks were almost finished.
