"Where are you planning to live next, Commander?"

Chapter 525 Tangled

"I?"

Huang Chen was stunned and confused for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Although the girls' sight was calm, it was like the surface of a deep lake. Although the waves were uneven, it was hard to tell how much was hidden underneath.

"Hasn't the Commander always said that he wanted to move to a more spacious place?" Enterprise said with a smile.

Huang Chen pursed his lips and nodded.

He was indeed a little tired of living on the Windward, as it was cramped and narrow. Now that he had the opportunity to leave, he naturally felt excited.

"There are many vacant rooms on the island, as the Commander just saw. They can be found in the dormitory area or in the castle." Hood looked at Huang Chen's hesitation and said softly, "Perhaps the Commander wants to build a small building himself?"

"I think it would be better for the master to rebuild it. Most of the vacant rooms are suites. They are a bit too big for the master alone, and it is not very convenient to clean them." Tiancheng sat next to Nagato and said silently.

"We can let Befa go over there. It'll be more convenient for her to take care of the Commander," Hood said immediately, as if he had already thought of how to say it. "The rest of the rooms can also be left vacant. We can turn them into entertainment rooms, lounges, cloakrooms, and the like. More rooms are always better than fewer."

Huang Chen nodded. This was indeed the case. If he had Beifa, many problems could be easily solved.

"Befa, Befa is still mainly taking care of Elizabeth, right?" Enterprise raised his hand and asked.

"It's also possible to have other maids take care of His Majesty," Hood explained. "Besides, Belfar is also a wedding ship, so it's convenient for her to take care of the Commander."

The blonde girl glanced at everyone and immediately added before Tiancheng was about to speak, "Besides, even if we build a new one, the commander will need a residence for the time being, right?"

Amagi pursed his lips and glanced at Nagato, who tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"Indeed." Enterprise nodded, and took out a document he had read before and handed it to Huang Chen, "Then Commander, can you take a look at a suitable place?"

Huang Chen took the document, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he glanced at everyone and asked, "If I want to build a bungalow with a yard, how long will it take?"

"A bungalow?" Tiancheng pondered for a moment. "How big does the master want? A bungalow with a yard, a private courtyard, with wing rooms and ear rooms? Do we need a courtyard wall? Do we need front and back rooms?"

"W-what?" Huang Chen was stunned. Tiancheng, what are you talking about? What are these messed up things?

He waved his hand. "No need to go through so much trouble. A bedroom with a living room and a bathroom will be enough."

"Don't you need a cloakroom and a study?" Hood asked doubtfully.

"Isn't it really necessary?" Huang Chen scratched his head. "I don't have many clothes. A study and some books can be placed in the bedroom. There's no need to set up a separate study room."

It could even be simpler, without even a living room or bathroom, just a bedroom would be enough... He thought silently in his heart, but it felt a little wrong to say it out loud.

"If that's the case, it will only take five days at most." Tiancheng thought for a moment, "But the prerequisite is that the building materials and other materials are ready and don't require too much maintenance."

"I remember there are quite a lot of supplies in this area. They are enough to build the kind of house the commander mentioned." Enterprise said as he looked through the documents.

"So fast." Huang Chen was quite surprised.

Although Hood had told them before that building a small house wouldn't require much effort, he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"If we invite a professional construction team, it will be even faster." Tiancheng said with a smile.

Hood nodded, took a sip of his tea, and then asked softly, "Has the commander decided where to build the bungalow?"

"Built in..." Huang Chen then turned his gaze to the map of the island area still spread out on the coffee table.

He couldn't see any difference between these areas for the time being, and couldn't tell which one was good or bad.

"Nagato-sama, do you still wish to build the shrine?"

Before Huang Chenqi could speak, Tiancheng suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Nagato, who had been looking a little bored, twitched his fox ears and immediately turned his attention back to thinking about Tiancheng's problem. "I, do have this idea..."

"Then where does Lord Nagato plan to build the shrine?" Amajo asked.

"Where?" Nagato shook his head, glanced at Huang Chen, and said nothing.

The latter suddenly understood that it was hard to say where to choose for his bungalow.

Once you decide where to build it, there will soon be other girls' houses densely packed around it, right?

I had originally thought of staying on the Windward for a few more days and quickly building a bungalow, but now it seems that is not appropriate.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a toothache.

The reason why I didn’t choose directly from the existing vacant houses at the beginning was that I wanted to achieve the so-called balance.

After all, most of these existing rooms are clustered together, surrounded by royal girls, and are some distance away from the dock.

It seemed to him extremely inappropriate to leave the girls on the Windward Ship to live in cramped rooms while he himself lived in a spacious place.

And if the girls on the boat were from other camps at this time, and he happened to stay away from them and live with the royal girls, it would be even more inappropriate.

There seems to be a hint of something in it, both overtly and covertly.

"Let's wait until the port is built." Huang Chen thought about it and decided to stay on the Windward for a few more months. Although he didn't like it, he had gotten used to it.

"After that, I have to go to Area C2 to find Yixian and the others, and then go to Area C1 to find New Jersey, Bismarck and the others. Then there's the training. It will take at least one or two months to finish all these things, right?"

He paused and continued, "I don't think I'll be able to stay on the Windward for long. As for where to live after that... I'll decide after the dormitories are almost finished. I haven't decided yet."

"Then let's do as the commander thinks..." Enterprise hesitated for a moment, unable to think of a better solution, and nodded.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Before he could respond, a young girl's puzzled voice rang out, "Is no one here? Didn't you say you were going to discuss the port planning? War-weary, open the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then another girl's voice was heard, and at the same time the door slowly moved, revealing two blonde figures.

Elizabeth looked around curiously, her eyes fell on Huang Chen, and then she showed a look of surprise, "Sure enough, you are here, I thought there was no one here, servant."

War-weary followed behind the girl, nodding to the crowd.

"What are you discussing? Has the port area planning started?" Elizabeth walked to the coffee table, put her hands on her hips and squinted her eyes.

"Discussing the commander's quarters," Hood said softly.

Chapter 526 Silly Bai’s Invitation

As soon as Hood said this, everyone silently turned their eyes to Elizabeth and War-weary who was standing behind Shabai.

The latter was startled, and her knight's intuition made her discover the depressing atmosphere in the office.

She hurriedly took a step forward, wanting to interrupt Sha Bai before she spoke again, but she found that Her Majesty the Queen had walked up to the commander at some point.

It’s too far away from me, and I can’t take a single step forward.

"A servant's residence?" Elizabeth blinked, completely unaware of the gazes around her. She tilted her head and looked at Huang Chen, quite puzzled, and asked, "Servants of course live in the castle. As my servant, how could you live somewhere else?"

It’s too late... War-weary swallowed his saliva, looked around quietly, and found that everyone was silent and didn’t say anything.

This made her feel relieved. She slowly walked to Elizabeth's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, let's discuss the port planning first."

"What?" Elizabeth turned her head and moved her ear closer towards War-weary, as if she didn't hear what she was saying.

"Your Majesty, let's discuss the port planning first." War-weary raised his voice slightly.

As she spoke, she looked around cautiously, as if she was afraid that others would discover her little actions.

Then she noticed that the commander sitting not far away was watching here silently.

This made her subconsciously want to explain, but then she thought again, there didn't seem to be anything that needed to be explained.

Just a reminder, Your Majesty, is this strange?

She stood up straight and repeated her words, much louder than before, so loud that they could be heard throughout the room. "Your Majesty, let's discuss the port planning first."

"Let's discuss the port planning first. Why? Aren't the servants' residences part of the port planning?" Elizabeth seemed to have just heard it clearly and immediately raised her doubts.

"This..." War-weary glanced around, not knowing how to explain. Is His Majesty really not feeling anything at all about this atmosphere?

Hood sat on the sofa and shook his head imperceptibly. He then brought over a teapot and teacups. "Your Majesty, would you like a cup of black tea? This is Luxi Black Tea from District O."

This is her treasured collection. Theoretically, the production of this kind of black tea is not low, but it is difficult to buy in Area C. Hu De also collected it for a long time before saving some, and usually she would not drink it.

"Lucy black tea?" Elizabeth's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have forgotten her question. She slowly walked to the sofa next to Hood and sat down. She picked up the black tea and took a sip, a smile appearing on her face.

Then he looked up at War-weary who was still standing beside him and waved, "Come over here and have a drink, this is Hood's treasure!"

War-weary pursed his lips, then slowly walked over and picked up a cup of black tea. After taking a sip, his eyes lit up, and he simply found a comfortable position on the sofa and sat down.

"I remember the commander said before that he didn't like the castle very much?"

Seeing Elizabeth sitting aside with no intention of continuing the previous topic, Enterprise spoke first.

"Almost." Huang Chen nodded.

I didn't say it too definite. After all, I can't really say that I don't like or hate it. I'm just not used to it and always feel that it doesn't suit me.

"Huh? The servants don't want to live in the castle?" Elizabeth pricked up her ears and asked in confusion.

"The master has not yet decided where to live. He hopes to consider it after the dormitory is basically completed." Tiancheng chuckled and explained the situation just now.

"Is that so?" Elizabeth sighed while holding the black tea, but said nothing else.

This left Huang Chen, who had a lot to say, speechless - he had originally thought that he would have to explain something before Silly Bai would accept this answer.

"Then, Your Majesty, these are some of the things we discussed before, about the port area..." Hood chuckled and explained the discussion just now to Shabai in detail.

During this time, Elizabeth listened silently, nodded slightly from time to time, and didn't say much.

Quickly, Hood recounted the basics, like a summary of the meeting.

"So today's work is actually over?" Elizabeth put down the tea and jumped off the sofa and said.

"...That's basically it. We've concluded the discussion." Hood thought for a moment and nodded. "Next, we'll begin preparing for the dormitory demand survey. We plan to complete it this afternoon. Let's see if we can complete the survey tomorrow. After that, we'll make the specific plans."

"Let's finish it quickly. I'm so tired!" Elizabeth said, stretching lazily.

"Yeah." Hood nodded helplessly and looked at the time. "It's already eleven o'clock. Let's stop here for the morning. What do you think?"

Huang Chen also nodded. Time flies when you are working hard. It felt like he had just arrived at the office, but an entire morning had already passed.

Enterprise also stood up and stretched. Tianchenghe was more reserved, but his sitting posture was also more relaxed than before.

"Then I'll be leaving first." Elizabeth called War-weary and then walked towards the door. Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to look at Huang Chen, "Servant, will you come for afternoon tea this afternoon?"

"Afternoon tea?" Huang Chen blinked and glanced at Nagato who was sitting across from the coffee table.

"I'll ask Befa to call you when the time comes." Elizabeth waved her hand and left the office without waiting for Huang Chen's answer.

It’s just afternoon tea, it shouldn’t take much time... Huang Chen blinked and didn’t call Shabai back.

"Where is the notice board on the island? I'll go and post these." Enterprise flipped out a few notices and asked a few people.

"Next to the playground." Hood smiled.

"Playground? I didn't notice it yesterday." The girl was about to leave with the notice when Hu Deqia stood up and said, "Let me go. It's on my way back."

"Oh, that's fine." Enterprise nodded and did not refuse.

Everyone was chatting casually.

Huang Chen did not leave immediately. He walked around the room casually and then went to the balcony to take a look.

Looking out from here, you can only see the endless ocean and the steep cliffs on both sides.

He stayed there for a while and heard the sound of the door opening and closing several times behind him. He turned around and went back to the room. Hood had left, but Tiancheng and Enterprise were talking about something.

Huang Chen didn't care. He walked over to Nagato, who was still sitting on the sofa, and invited him, "Lunch is still a while away. Let's go shopping."

Nagato nodded.

The two left the castle and instead of following the path, walked along the seashore to some rarely visited beaches.

"I'll go find you tonight."

Nagato nodded.

"If something unexpected happens... just tell Tiancheng and let her think of a solution."

Huang Chen paused and continued.

Nagato nodded again.
