"The commander doesn't like it?" Littorio was a little surprised.

"No..." Huang Chen blinked and suddenly smiled, "This is a gift from me to Littorio to commemorate our reunion."

Littorio was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "As expected of my commander, you truly possess the same brilliance as me. I hope to continue learning from you and making progress together."

Huang Chen grinned, but his smile was a little stiff, and he felt inexplicably regretful.

"Okay, I won't delay you from meeting Roma." Huang Chen waved his hand and was about to leave with Sirius.

Littorio said in surprise, "The Commander doesn't plan to meet with Roman?"

"Forget it now, I have things to do." Huang Chen shook his head. In fact, he was still a little concerned. But there were still many girls on the island that he hadn't met yet. This Rome... should be put aside for now?

"I understand." Littorio nodded, and suddenly winked at Huang Chen, "But Commander, you can look forward to it. She might join the port area."

"...Well, if it's possible, of course it would be good, but there's no need to force it." Huang Chen said. He had an inexplicable feeling that Veneto, Littorio and Empire all had strange personalities. As their sister, Roma would be no exception, right?

He smiled and led Sirius to the side, intending to stroll around the garden.

But suddenly he felt the girl pulling at his clothes from behind.

Turning back, he saw Sirius holding a sharp sword in his hand, "My proud master, I want to give it to you as a reunion gift."

Chapter 492 Xiaobei’s method

"Gift?" Huang Chen looked at the sharp sword in Sirius's hand and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How can you think of something like this as a gift? Besides, it's part of your ship's outfit, right? Is it okay to just give it away casually like that?

Despite this, after thinking for a moment, Huang Chen understood the girl's thoughts and took the sword from her hand.

"Okay, thank you Sirius."

Huang Chen couldn't help but look at the sword carefully after getting it. As one of the girl's ship equipment, it felt very heavy and solid in his hand. The hilt was red, the guard was wide and golden, and the sword jaw was also golden with gorgeous carvings.

It can be considered a sword no matter how you look at it.

"It's a beautiful gift." Huang Chen smiled. After playing with the sword for a while, he looked at Ai Ai's expression and handed it to her. "Well, this is my gift to Sirius, to commemorate our..."

Sirius' eyes lit up, and before Huang Chen finished speaking, he took it excitedly, "My proud master, I will never disgrace the sharpness of the sword and will defend your glory and majesty!"

"Okay, okay." Huang Chen waved his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

It is obvious that someone gave it to you, but you turned around and gave it back as a gift.

It was okay for him to do this in front of Littorio just now, but now he was doing it in front of Sirius, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Sirius, on the other hand, looked so excited that he completely forgot that the sword was originally his own ship equipment. He held it in his hands as if it were a precious treasure.

Because Sirius was immersed in the joy of the gift given to her by the commander, she forgot to lead Huang Chen to introduce the garden, so Huang Chen was left to his own free will.

The garden is quite large, and the small pavilion where Littorio is located is only a corner of the garden. Different areas have different styles. Not only do the shrubs and flowers look different, but even the trimming methods of some haystacks are slightly different.

The front area is mostly spherical, and the next area is square or cylindrical.

Probably because of the arrival of the Windward, most of the girls on the island went to the vicinity of the pier, and the garden seemed much emptier. Huang Chen walked for several minutes before finally seeing a girl in another pavilion.

Compared with Littorio's pavilion just now, the pavilion in front of him was much larger and could accommodate almost ten people sitting together.

At this time, there was only a girl in a black and white maid outfit sitting in the pavilion, with a bucket and a rag beside her. She was holding a book in her hands and reading it with relish, and she didn't notice Huang Chen and Sirius walking towards her.

"Edinburgh?" Huang Chen looked at the girl twice and couldn't help smiling.

"Oh! I'm not being lazy, I'm just taking a break, a short rest!" Edinburgh's whole body was shocked, and the books in his hands flew two meters high. Without time to clean them up, he hurriedly picked up the rag beside him and wiped the table.

Halfway through wiping, the book that had just flown up happened to fall on her head. The girl was startled and hurriedly took a step back, but her foot stepped into the bucket and she fell down.

"..." Huang Chen was at a loss and didn't even know what to say for a moment.

Is it Edinburgh after all?

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Really, don't scare me like this, ah, is it the Commander?" Edinburgh fell to the ground, covering his head and muttering softly, but he unexpectedly saw the guy standing in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.

"It turns out to be the Commander and Sirius. I thought it was Belfast." Edinburgh breathed a sigh of relief, pushed his small round glasses, got up, hummed an unknown song, and packed up his things.

So I am not as majestic as a Befa... Huang Chen looked at Edinburgh speechlessly. Although she was a clumsy maid, at least she was quite good at tidying up the things in front of her.

"Your clothes are wet too. Go change into something later. If you change clothes, Belfa won't be able to find a reason to blame me, right?" After cleaning up the water stains, Edinburgh said while pulling the corner of his clothes.

However, the girl did not seem to feel troubled, but rather seemed to be secretly happy.

I feel like a primary school student who finally found an excuse to skip class.

"What were you doing here just now?" Huang Chen smiled and asked without caring.

"Tidying up the garden. His Majesty is hosting afternoon tea this afternoon." Edinburgh said as a matter of course, but suddenly froze and looked at Huang Chen, "Hey, Commander, why are you here? When did you get here?"

"So you don't know anything?" Huang Chen shook his head. "The Windward has already docked, so of course I came along. As for Silly Bai's afternoon tea, it might be postponed, right? After all, there was an unexpected situation."

"Postponed? Does that mean it won't be held this afternoon?" Edinburgh's eyes lit up. He took the book from the table and sat down next to it, reading it with relish.

Huang Chen was speechless, "You just said you were going to change clothes..."

"Oh, I'm a ship girl. It's just a small matter like my clothes getting wet. There's no need to choose clothes specially." Edinburgh said proudly.

"Haha, okay." Huang Chen shook his head and didn't intend to continue talking to this useless maid. He led Sirius to the side.

"Ah, Sister Edinburgh is here!"

Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind, followed by rustling footsteps and a chaotic sound.

She calls her Sister Edinburgh, but it doesn’t seem like she’s called Befa… Huang Chen’s heart moved, and he turned around with some speculation.

Sure enough, I saw a petite silver-haired ship girl running towards this side. She had a small figure but was wearing a black and white maid uniform. Her big slate blue eyes were twinkling, and her sparkling appearance seemed to break into people's hearts.

It’s indeed Xiao Beifa!

The girl ran towards Edinburgh first, but unexpectedly glanced at Huang Chen on the way. She was stunned and stopped in confusion. After hesitating for a long time, she lifted her skirt with both hands and saluted, "Good afternoon, Commander."

"Well, good afternoon, Xiao Beifa." Huang Chen pursed his lips and looked at the little girl standing in front of him, looking bewildered, as if she had forgotten why she came here.

"Commander." Little Beifa said softly, unconsciously walked in front of Huang Chen, and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "I..."

"What's wrong? What does Xiao Beifa want to say?" Huang Chen squatted down, looked at the little girl at eye level, rubbed her hair and said.

"I don't know." Little Beifa said blankly, "I, it seems, it seems that my throat is a little uncomfortable... Uh..."

"Not feeling well?" Huang Chen was startled, but he found that the little girl's slate-blue eyes became moist, and crystal tears slid down the corners of the little girl's eyes.

"Commander, would you like some black tea?" Little Beifa raised his head and said with a hint of sob.

Chapter 493: Useless Maid

"Ah! Don't cry, don't cry." Huang Chen's fingers gently brushed across Xiao Beifa's eyes, trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Little Beifa shook his head, his voice more choked than before, "No, no. I, I'm not crying, Commander, would you like some black tea? Beifa is already very good at making black tea. Or, or coffee and whiskey will also be fine... So please don't disappear again, Commander, okay?"

"Okay, anything is fine. Black tea is fine, coffee and whiskey are fine too." Huang Chen's heart trembled, and he hugged little Beifa into his arms. "It's the commander's fault for disappearing for so long."

"No, it's okay." Little Beifa nodded, no longer choking, tugging at the corner of Huang Chen's clothes, and murmured softly, "Befa is already a formal maid, no longer an apprentice maid, so, please, Commander, don't disappear again, okay?"

"Okay, the commander won't disappear again." Huang Chen nodded.

Little Beifa continued, "You can ask me for other things as well. Commander, don't worry about becoming a cripple. So, please don't disappear again, okay?"

"Yes, I will rely on Xiao Beifa more and will not disappear again." Huang Chen said seriously.

"It's okay to be lazy sometimes, and it's okay to do all kinds of strange things. Commander, you can do anything. So, Commander, please don't disappear again, okay?"

"No, no, I won't disappear again." Huang Chen gently held Xiao Beifa in his arms and rested his chin on her head. "I will always be with Xiao Beifa."

"I, I understand, Commander." Little Beifa whispered, burying his head in Huang Chen's chest. After an unknown amount of time, the little guy struggled to get up. He had stopped crying, but his eyes were still slightly red.

"I'm sorry, Commander, for letting you witness my incompetence." Little Beifa wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, smiled sweetly at Huang Chen, and lifted the hem of her skirt to salute. "But, Commander, please believe me, I'm already a qualified maid."

"I believe it, of course I do." Huang Chen smiled and was about to say that he was looking forward to your black tea, but suddenly he remembered that the little guy seemed to have come to look for Edinburgh just now.

I subconsciously looked back and saw that the useless maid was no longer in the pavilion.

Little Beifa also followed Huang Chen's gaze and was stunned, "Where's Sister Edinburgh?"

"I'm afraid he just slipped away." Huang Chen grinned helplessly, but suddenly heard Edinburgh shouting from the side, "Let me go, let me go quickly! I want to go back and change clothes!"

He looked over curiously and saw Sirius holding a sword in one hand and dragging Edinburgh towards him. The useless maid was dragging herself on the ground with her limbs weakly, with an expression on her face that looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

"I'm not really running away, I'm just changing clothes..."

"My proud master, I have brought back the escaped Edinburgh." Sirius dragged Edinburgh in front of Huang Chen, then knelt on one knee with the sword in his hand.

Like a knight returning with spoils.

"Well... you did a good job." Huang Chen nodded with a helpless smile and rubbed Sirius' head. The latter narrowed his eyes and accepted the reward like a cat.

Edinburgh hugged Huang Chen's legs with a bitter face and cried, "Commander, I really just went to change clothes, and even if I was lazy, there is no need to be so scary..."

It's so scary, so Sirius, how did you bring her back?

Huang Chen looked at Sirius with a little helplessness. The girl tilted her head in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Alright, alright, get up quickly. Xiao Beifa wants to talk to you about something." Huang Chen picked up Edinburgh by the collar. After all, she was a ship girl, so it was impossible for her to be injured.

Little Beifa straightened her clothes and said seriously, "Sister Edinburgh, because we have a dinner party, the maid team is a little busy right now, and we need your help..."

Edinburgh had a sad face and tugged at his clothes. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just uttered, "I know."

Little Beifa winked at Huang Chen and said, "Sorry, Commander, I may not be able to prepare black tea for you now."

"It doesn't matter, there will be plenty of time in the future." Huang Chen touched the little girl's head, then watched Xiao Beifa lead Edinburgh away.

He thought that Edinburgh would still deny it, after all, little Beifa didn't look very majestic, but he didn't expect that she would still follow little Beifa obediently.

Huang Chen was thinking, and suddenly found that Sirius was looking at him thoughtfully.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and opened his arms to hug Sirius tightly before the girl could speak.

Compared to little Beifa, hugging the slender Sirius seemed much more exciting, so Huang Chen only hugged her for a moment, then let go, and said with a helpless smile, "It's better to just say this kind of thing directly, don't try to learn everything."

"I understand, my proud master." Sirius nodded, his expressionless face filled with joy and a smile.

"And there's your sword. Put it away when you're not using it." Huang Chen thought about it and couldn't help but say, although it was a very beautiful sword, it looked quite out of place when held in the hands of a cute maid with silver hair and red eyes.

"I see." Sirius nodded.

This is also a useless maid... Huang Chen sighed as he looked at Sirius's dazed look, but suddenly he was stunned.

Now the maids on the island are so busy that they even call out a good-for-nothing like Edinburgh to do the work.

At this time, Befa asked Sirius to come and accompany him.

It's one thing that the commander is important, but it's probably also a consideration to have a maid who won't affect the maid team's strength to take care of and follow the commander, right?

He shook his head, threw these messy thoughts out of his mind, and continued to visit other parts of the garden with Sirius.

I didn't run into any other girls. Actually, I was surprised to find a lazy, useless maid. But then again, Cheshire and Neptune were also half-maids. I wondered if they would go and help?

As the two walked, they left the garden and passed by the pavilion where they had seen Littorio before, but they did not see the green-haired girl, and naturally did not see Roma either, which made Huang Chen feel a little regretful.

Outside the garden, continuing along the path, is an open grassland. The vastness of the grassland makes you forget that you are on an island.

Huang Chen originally thought that this was the playground, but Sirius said it was not. It was just an empty lawn with no plans. There was a beach along the coast outside the lawn, and many people would come here to rest and play on weekdays.

After introducing the lawn, the two followed the path and soon came to a quite lively place.

Looking at the maids coming and going in the distance, Huang Chen also realized that this was the playground.

Chapter 494 Maids

The island is quite large and the path is surrounded by woods.

Some places seem to have been processed and look like street trees, while some still retain their original appearance.

In short, Huang Chen followed Sirius in circles, feeling like he was circling the garden, but he didn't expect that the front suddenly became lively. It turned out that they had arrived at the playground.

The playground is quite large, with a red rubber track and green lawn, which made Huang Chen feel dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to his previous life and came to a school somewhere.

Only the busy maids not far away reminded him that none of this had happened.

The grass is divided into two parts. One half should be professional football grass. After careful construction and maintenance, it feels quite thick when stepped on.

The other half is a rubber floor with green paint. Judging from the lines on it, it is probably used as a basketball court, badminton court, etc.

Now the tall basketball hoop has been pushed into the corner, and the badminton net has been put away.
