There were three long tables in the open space, covered with red and white napkins, and decorated with candlesticks and flowers. Three maids were setting the table.
In the open space next to it, there were many chairs of different colors. A maid took a cover and put it on the chairs to make their colors uniform, and then two other maids placed them on both sides of the table.
In the distance, on a small road, there were several maids running around pushing carts. Some were empty, while others were filled with tableware, chairs, covers, decorations, and the like.
The maids were busy, but there was an indescribable order in their busyness, like harmony in chaos, with a neat beauty.
"That's amazing!" Huang Chen couldn't help but sigh and walked to the pile of chairs.
From a distance, the only difference is the color, but when you look closely, you will find that even the shapes are different, as if all the chairs on the island have been looted.
"Commander, good afternoon!" The hooded maid noticed Huang Chen, but did not show much surprise. She just bowed slightly to him, and her long lotus-colored hair swayed.
Huang Chen took a look at the girl. She was tall and slender, with pigtails. She was wearing a thick dark blue and white maid skirt, which seemed completely different from the maids like Sirius.
In short, it is too strict.
Her movements were quite nimble, and she appeared composed as she saluted Huang Chen. She was a truly perfect maid.
"Good afternoon, Curlew." Huang Chen nodded, recognizing the girl, and then looked at the two maids who had just moved the chairs and came over. "Good afternoon, Curacao, Progress."
"Good afternoon, Commander." Curacao smiled slightly and bowed to him. "Are you here to inspect the work?"
"Just looking around." Huang Chen shook his head, looking at Jinqi with short gray-silver hair beside him with some surprise, "What's wrong? Are you staring at me?"
"Ah, nothing. I just haven't seen the master for a long time, and I found that he is a little different from the comics... Alas, no, nothing." Jinqu said subconsciously, then was stunned, and then hurriedly picked up the chair and moved it.
Comics? Why are there still comics?
Huang Chen was stunned and looked at Curacao, who shook his head. "I'm not sure either. Commander, perhaps you can ask Glasgow?"
"...Forget it." Huang Chen shook his head. Comics are just comics. It's not like he hasn't had experience before. Akashi has made figures of him, so he doesn't lack comics.
After greeting the two of them, Huang Chen led Sirius towards the table.
Jinqu saw Huang Chen following him from a distance and thought he was here for the cartoon. He carefully avoided him, tiptoed to put the chair in a far corner, and ran back.
Huang Chen was a little amused, but he didn't care. He waved to the girl with long gray hair who was setting the tableware, "Good afternoon, Charybdis."
"Ah, it's the master!" Charybdis looked up, a little surprised, his eyes shining. "It really is the master. Master, are you tired after inspecting the port for so long?"
The maid with gray-silver hair said happily, putting down the cutlery in her hands and walking towards Huang Chen.
But suddenly, there was a crisp sound, followed by the sound of a plate falling to the ground and breaking.
"Ah. What's going on?" Charybdis turned around hurriedly. "How could this happen?"
Huang Chen's eyebrows jumped. As expected, the pile of plates fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a layer of rubber on the ground, so they were not broken everywhere. It should be easier to clean up.
But the broken edges of the plates were also a reminder that the stack was unusable.
"It's okay, as long as the person is okay. If the plate is broken, just replace it with a new one." Huang Chen said, pulling Charybdis who wanted to pick up the plate with his hands.
The girl was a little flustered, "No, it seems that the plate will be gone."
"What happened? Oh, it's the Commander." A gentle but somewhat unexpected voice came from the side. Huang Chen looked up and saw that it was Hermione who had been placing tableware on another row of tables.
"Hermione, the plates, the plates fell to the ground." Charybdis said in a panic, "The last plate, it broke."
"Well, this is a bit troublesome." Hermione blinked, turned around and whispered to someone not far away, "Dido!"
"Ah!" The silver-haired girl not far away raised her head, a little flustered, "Is there anything else that needs Dido's help? Sure, please leave it to Dido... Yes, it's the master!"
The girl's gaze fell on Huang Chen, and she suddenly became panicked. "Master, Dido didn't even know that the master was here. Did he deliberately keep her in the dark? As expected, even if the master came back, he would care about other ship girls first..."
"No, no, there's no such thing!" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and explained hurriedly, "Something happened here and we need Dido's help."
"Do you need Dido's help?" Dido was stunned, then relaxed. "Great... As long as you still need Dido's help, you won't abandon Dido so easily..."
As she spoke, she ran towards Huang Chen with a red face.
Hermione explained, "Actually, Dido has gotten much better, but the Commander came back so suddenly... Ah! I never meant to say that I didn't want the Commander to come back."
"I know, I know." Huang Chen shook his head and subconsciously glanced at the girls around him.
Well, Dido, Hermione, Sirius, Charybdis. You four sisters all seem to have your own unique characteristics.
Dido came over and Charybdis immediately explained the situation.
The silver-haired girl took a look and said, "There are more. There is a batch in the warehouse under the castle. It's okay."
Hearing this, Charybdis finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Sister Dido. Sister Dido is really amazing."
Huang Chen was watching from the side, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect Dido's maid skills to be so high!
Chapter 495 Commander, peeping
Hearing Charybdis' words, Dido showed an obvious smile on her face, and then looked at Huang Chen hesitantly.
"Hey, Master, Dido is very capable, right? So you won't abandon her, right?" But before the girl could finish her words, she suddenly became flustered and apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Master, Dido didn't mean to threaten you with this..."
Huang Chen saw that something was wrong and hurried forward to ruffle the maid's hair. "No, no, Dido is very capable. She is not blackmailing me."
Dido was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes, a happy expression on her face, and hummed softly in comfort, "Woo waaaah..."
Hao Min was still a little puzzled, shaking his head and whispering, "Diduo hasn't been like this for a long time..."
It’s all my fault... Huang Chen felt helpless.
Although Dido is full of negative energy and not very confident, she is actually very easy to coax. Just promise to never abandon her.
Anyway, Huang Chen held the girl and talked for five minutes, and Dido finally calmed down a little and was no longer as jumpy as she was at the beginning.
Soon Sheffield and Glasgow, who were carrying the things, came over with a cart. Hermione explained the situation and the problem was solved without any trouble.
I still have to emphasize that Dido's maid skills are beyond Huang Chen's imagination.
After all, Sirius is a useless maid, Charybdis seems to be sloppy in his work, Hermione is efficient, and I didn't expect Dido to be so capable.
But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. This girl has almost put all her value into her work. If she is not more efficient, she will probably become more autistic, right?
Huang Chen watched the girls busy for a while and found that his presence seemed to be a bit of a hindrance, mainly because Dido and Charybdis always subconsciously glanced at him.
The former made Huang Chen feel like he was a slave owner supervising his workers.
But the latter always feels that he will come over and ask at the next moment: Master, are you tired?
In short, Huang Chen looked for a while, said hello to the girls, and continued to visit other parts of the island.
After coming out of the playground, I felt that the atmosphere around me had become completely different.
Although the path still looked similar, the trees on both sides were no different, and the shady bushes blocked people's view, Huang Chen felt that the air around him became more active.
It was like walking from the outskirts of the city into a bustling market late at night. Although there was still no one around, there was a sense of life all around.
Sure enough, after walking a short distance, we saw a fork in the road leading to a small building of three or two stories high.
Before Huang Chen had time to ask, Sirius introduced that it was the library.
Then they walked on and passed by the small auditorium, cafeteria, practice field, classrooms, indoor swimming pool, etc. There were also some distant buildings that Huang Chen couldn't see clearly and didn't ask.
It has to be said that although there are only fifty or sixty people on Elizabeth Island, the various buildings on it are planned for hundreds of people.
For example, these buildings that he saw while passing by took almost all kinds of situations into consideration, and according to Sirius, these ones he passed by before were already very popular places.
For example, Hood often went back to the library, and the Knights often practiced in the practice field. Although not many people went to the cafeteria every day, at least all the maids ate there.
There are also many buildings that were built but no one visited them, and they have been abandoned ever since.
The main reason is that everyone has lived on the island for a long time, and building a house is not a complicated task for the ship girls. Maybe they suddenly become interested and spend half a month to build a small building dedicated to showing movies.
As a result, after it was built, few people came to watch movies, and it was eventually left there and ignored.
Or if they are not satisfied with the previous building, they may tear it down and rebuild it. For example, the garden we visited before was also rearranged together with the castle.
However, due to the construction of Elizabeth Castle in recent years, there have been no new additions or renovations to other buildings on the island. Otherwise, when Huang Chen came here, he would have had the opportunity to see how the ship girl built the building.
The two continued walking, and after another ten minutes, they suddenly heard some lively laughter.
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized and asked, "What's the place ahead?"
Sirius thought for a moment, "There's a stream and lake ahead, and then a small playground for the expelled children. My proud master."
"Small playground?" Huang Chen blinked and walked over quickly. The first thing he saw was the so-called stream and lake.
There is a path built along the lake, followed by shrubs trimmed into squares and long wooden benches, as well as a few willow trees that obviously could not have grown naturally.
"Your Majesty used to hold tea parties here, but after the new gardens were built, they are no longer held here, my proud master," Sirius explained.
Huang Chen nodded and looked in the direction of the laughter.
The small playground was not far from the lake, and the facilities inside looked like the facilities for citizens to enjoy in some parks, but the ones in front of me were obviously much more luxurious.
In addition to the sand pit, parallel bars, swings, and seesaws, there are also inflatable castles specifically for children, a roller coaster with ups and downs of no more than three meters, a carousel with only three seats, a small car that can only trot within a hundred square meters, and so on.
If these facilities were only for the original royal exiles on the island to play, it would obviously be too rich.
But as the Windward came ashore, the destroyers above came together and seemed a little small.
There were seven or eight little guys piled up in the small sand pit. There was not much sand to begin with, and it turned out that there was not even enough sand to build a small house.
There were only two swing positions, and there were five or six guys gathered around making a lot of noise.
The inflatable castle was almost squeezed to the point of bursting. As soon as a little girl climbed up from the door, another one would fall from the edge over there.
The carousel, which only had three seats, was spinning with difficulty, carrying nine little girls, in the spirit of an Indian military parade.
Huang Chen sighed.
"So there are already so many little guys in the harbor?"
"My proud master, I do not understand what you mean." Sirius tilted his head, confused.
"Nothing, I don't mean anything." Huang Chen didn't walk over, but looked at him from a distance.
In fact, he had seen many of the little girls before when they came ashore, but the scene was a bit chaotic at that time. Huang Chen didn't even recognize them clearly. He felt that he was surrounded by girls and didn't have time to see who they were.
Now that I am far away, I can just pick up the royal expulsion inside and get familiar with it.
"Akastar, enthusiastic... Well, the fireflies are really happy to meet their good friends again?" Huang Chen looked at them one by one.
Silently recall the little guy's name.
At this moment, a voice full of energy and surprise suddenly came from behind, "Commander! Why are you here?"
"Ok?"
Huang Chen was stunned. Before he could turn around, he heard Ayanami's calm voice, "Commander, are you spying on the destroyer game?"
Chapter 496 Javelin
Who is talking nonsense? I just stood here and looked, how did it become peeping?
Huang Chen turned around and was about to hug the nonsense Ayanami and rub her when he saw a little girl with long purple hair jumping towards him excitedly.
"commander!"
"Ah!" Huang Chen was stunned, and subconsciously caught the little girl. Then a smile appeared on his face, "It's a javelin!"
"Hehe!" Javelin hugged Huang Chen's arm and sighed with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet the commander here. Javelin is really lucky, right?"
"At the dock before..." Huang Chen was about to say that they had met before, but suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have seen the javelin when he was at the dock just now.
The little girl scratched her head and explained in a low voice, "Just now, it was because I didn't get any news. Sister Guanghui clearly said that the Commander would be back in a few days, but I didn't expect him to come today..."
"Why, Commander, are you unhappy that you came early?" Huang Chen joked.
"No!" Javelin raised his little head and smiled with a hint of embarrassment, "I just prepared a gift for the Commander, but I didn't expect the Commander to come back so suddenly..."
"..." Huang Chen rubbed the little girl's head helplessly, "I disappeared for so long and suddenly appeared again. Even if there is someone who should prepare a gift, it should be me. Besides... the javelin is so cute, why do we need other gifts?"
"Ah—are javelins cute?" The little girl smiled. "Really, Commander, are you kidding me again?"
"No, Javelin is so cute." Huang Chen smiled and ruffled the little girl's hair. Javelin smiled and laughed. The two of them looked peaceful and happy.
"Ah!" Javelin suddenly panicked, as if he had finally remembered that there were other people around. His face flushed with shame, he ran out of Huang Chen's hand and changed the subject, "Commander, what are you doing here?"
"The commander was peeping." Before Huang Chen could say anything, Ayanami added expressionlessly.
Good guy!
Huang Chen raised his brows. "I just let you off, but you're still not convinced, right?" He raised his hand and pinched Ayanami's face.
"Ayanami, don't talk about that, Commander. He must have his own reasons for being here, right? Right, Commander?" Z23, who was standing behind Ayanami, said helplessly.
