Come and connect with me!

The head maid's eyebrows twitched, but she still tried to dissuade him in a gentle voice.

At this time, she missed the other maids very much - no, it should be every time like this.

The dimensional gate did not keep the ships waiting for long. The vortex fluctuated and Frederick the Great, who had taken off his apron, walked through the gate.

"How long did it take from the time the box came over to the time I came over?"

Altair thought for a moment, and the power from the universe was activated. At this moment, she gained the ability called precise timing.

"Two and a half minutes. One hundred and fifty-three seconds to be exact."

Frederick the Great nodded and said.

"I see. Wait a moment. Remember to ask Akashi to come over. Honey, I'll be back soon."

Without waiting for anyone present to ask questions, she went back in.

The head maid and Altair looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

After a while, the dimensional gate fluctuated, and Wuming and the two ship girls finally came back.

In the world of NieR, it was still daytime, but when he returned to the port area, the sky was gloomy. It was a rare cloudy day, which made Wuming feel a strong sense of unreality.

Shinano still looked sleepy. He had just been pulled out of bed, so it wouldn't be surprising if he fell asleep the next second.

Frederick the Great's expression remained unchanged. He slightly turned sideways and watched the movements of the dimensional gate out of the corner of his eye.

After a moment, the dimensional door slightly fluctuated, like rippling water waves, and two strange white-haired women walked out from it.

"Is this the world of the Commander? Sniff... the oxygen content is different from the original world. Hmm, the gravity has also changed slightly. It seems that this is indeed not the original world. But is it still in the original universe..."

One of them was a long-haired woman with plain glasses and a gentle temperament. She was muttering to herself and fell into deep thought for a moment with a frown on her face. She was wearing a white coat commonly used by scientific researchers, with a flat collar and every button properly buttoned. She exuded a sense of capability.

The short-haired woman next to her said nothing, looked at this place with a slightly vigilant look, and protected the long-haired woman behind her.

Not far away, a green cat-eared loli was humming a song and jumping over.

Chapter 332 Sirius and Cookies

Azur Lane port area, command room.

"Actually, that engine can..."

"I think so too, meow, but there are better ones..."

"You are right..."

Wuming supported his face and watched quietly this unique welcome ceremony.

The mechanical life form, Adam, and the research ship Akashi, had quickly become familiar with each other in less than fifteen minutes since they met, and could not wait to start a discussion.

Frederick the Great listened on the side and expressed his opinions from time to time. As the news of the newcomers' arrival in the port spread, more and more curious ships followed, which extended the time that was supposed to be used for the summary indefinitely.

Altair did not leave either. He whispered something to Shima Qi Shanna who had returned, and occasionally let out a silver bell-like chuckle. The female commander White looked at Wuming, as if she had some questions to ask, but the scientific group was in the middle of a discussion, so she did not interrupt.

Wuming felt sleepy after listening to this. His foundation was too poor. When he was on Earth, he was just an average guy. Although he tried to enrich himself during this period, he still couldn't keep up with the thinking of serious scientists in a short period of time. He yawned as he listened to this.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Shinano with a little envy. This lazy fox didn't care about the occasion at all. He slipped into a corner, wrapped himself into a tail ball with his big tail, and fell asleep comfortably. Maybe because it was quite noisy here, the two ears that usually stick out of the tail ball also went into the tail ball and floated in the air, swaying.

"Ah, my proud master, you seem a little sleepy now. If you don't mind, would you like to rest on Sirius's lap for a while?"

Sirius's big eyes were twinkling, and his wine-red pupils were looking at Wuming with anticipation.

She took off her maid boots and knelt on the chair. Her plump legs were wrapped in pure white stockings, which were flexible and elastic. She came closer, emitting a faint rose fragrance. Her eyes blinked. Although she was a girl with a mature figure, she had a childlike innocent temperament.

Wuming was somewhat tempted, but shook his head with difficulty.

Although he was 100% lazy, it was a bad influence when the newcomer found out that the commander was slacking off and sleeping on his first day in the port.

At least not on the first day.

"Oh, can't I?"

Sirius's eyes darkened and she said dejectedly.

2018-03-27

"After all, Sirius is not the head maid. This crude gesture really won't do."

"No, it's just that everyone is discussing it now. I can't be lazy during work hours. Sirius is very good, so don't underestimate yourself."

Wuming said in a gentle voice, and did not forget to touch the maid's cool and soft silver hair.

"Eh, eh? Yes, really?"

Sirius's frustration came and went quickly. After receiving the praise, she immediately became full of energy. Looking at the empty table in front of Wuming, she quickly put on her shoes, and only had time to say that she would be back soon before she hurriedly left the command room.

The head maid was beside him. Even when she saw the clumsy maid's lap pillow, her expression didn't change. But when she saw Sirius's hurried look, her brows frowned.

"Master, please be careful."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

The head maid's incoherent words made Wuming a little confused.

"While you were away, the child seemed to have started to practice cooking in order to impress his master."

The head maid said this and her eyebrows twitched again.

"Any questions?"

Wuming only felt more confused.

"........ Well, it's hard to explain to you why a royal maid could do such a surprising, surprising......"

Whenever the head maid mentioned anything related to Sirius, she would always take the time to find less direct adjectives from her language library to give Sirius a little respect.

After a while, she said with some embarrassment.

“…It’s a pity.”

Wuming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

The head maid and Frederick the Great are two similar yet different types. If the latter doesn't like someone, the sarcasm in her words will often be impressive, but the former, even if she meets someone she doesn't like, tends to express her dissatisfaction in a more tactful way, and "regret" is one of the few words in the head maid's vocabulary that tends to be straightforward and derogatory.

Just as the two were speechless, the sound of footsteps came outside the command room. The scientific team was in the middle of a lively discussion and did not notice that a rash maid had gone out. Several people subconsciously glanced at her, and when they found out it was Sirius, they continued talking without paying any attention.

Sirius came over excitedly with a tray, and Wuming noticed that there was a pile of steaming cookies on it, obviously freshly baked. There was also a cup of hot drink next to the cookies.

"Come on, please eat it with big mouthfuls, my master. Thinking that my proud master is in a desolate other world and may not be able to eat enough, Sirius feels that he must do something!"

The tray landed lightly in front of Wuming. It was a plate of cookies that were quite filling and exuded a mouth-watering aroma. If you sniffed carefully, you could smell the sweet taste of brown sugar. The hot drink was used to pair with the sweet cookies. It had a bitter and fragrant smell. It was a rare black tea that didn't contain much sugar.

"Well, Master, you had breakfast half an hour ago. If you eat some cookies now, I'm afraid it won't be good for your stomach."

The head maid said seriously.

"Eh? Is that so?"

Sirius did not doubt the news of the head maid, but still looked at Wuming with pitiful eyes, hoping that her master could taste her work.

Wuming's eyes were wandering, but he still extracted a key piece of information from the head maid's words.

Black tea is fine!

"Ah, yes, yes, I forgot about that. No wonder my stomach feels bloated. Well, I'll drink some Sirius tea then."

Wuming looked at Sirius's disappointed expression, picked up the teacup, took a sip tentatively, and felt that the tea was quite refreshing. If there was nothing wrong with the fragrant biscuits, then it would be just right to pair them with this cookie which had an overwhelming amount of sugar content as you could tell by the smell.

Sirius carefully observed Wuming's reaction and found that he really liked this cup of black tea. Only then did he feel relieved and smiled again.

"If Sirius had known earlier that the master had already eaten, then Sirius would have prepared a meal that was easier to digest."

Sirius was very satisfied with Wuming's performance, but he still grumbled with some dissatisfaction.

At this moment, a voice that Wuming felt was somewhat unfamiliar came from beside him.

"Um, Commander, can I ask you for some of these cookies? Al-chan seems a little concerned."

Shima Qi Shana came to Wuming with a nervous look, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, just like an old mother buying snacks for her beloved daughter.

"I....."

Wuming was about to say something when he saw a small hand quietly stretched out from under the table. The fingertips touched the plate of cookies, then quickly grabbed one and shrunk it back under the table.

The next second, the sound of biscuits being chewed was heard.

Chapter 333: The vague fog

In the noisy conference room, there was endless discussion, but on Wuming's desk, there was an inexplicable silence.

Sirius looked at Wuming, whose eyes widened unconsciously, and the head maid, who opened her mouth slightly, and asked cautiously, "Do you need Sirius to catch the criminal who stole the cookies?"

Shima Qi Shana blinked, bent down and tilted his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Xiao Xiao sitting on the ground biting the biscuits in big mouthfuls.

"Well, no need..."

Wuming was silent for two seconds, waiting to hear the familiar scream.

He could already imagine Xiaochuan's deflated expression.

After a while, the gentle chewing sound stopped. When the restless little hand tried to grab the biscuit again, the calm head maid had already picked up the plate and sniffed the cookies with a suspicious look on her face.

The hand was groping around restlessly, and only shrank back angrily after being slapped by the head maid.

The cuffs have thick black collar buttons and the lining is bright red, and you can tell at a glance who this greedy little guy is.

The head maid put down the plate, picked up a cookie and looked at it, then her eyes twitched, her expression changed, she took a deep breath, looked at Wuming again, and then continued to pick up the cookie and put it to her mouth. When she was about to eat it, she hesitated for a while, broke the whole cookie into two pieces, and then divided it into fingertip-sized cookie crumbs without changing her expression, and then put it into her mouth with a heavy face.

Wuming watched in silence for a while, and when the head maid was cutting the cookie, he simply put the whole cookie into his mouth.

"Click."

The head maid didn't notice it, and her hands shook in fear when she heard the sound.

"wait wait wait!"

But it was too late, Wuming had already eaten most of the biscuit.

The greedy little Zeppelin is not an easy guy to deal with. She eats the food in the port in different ways. Today she eats Iron Blood, tomorrow she eats Royal, and every day is different. The chef in the cafeteria is very skilled and has grasped the culinary characteristics of each camp very accurately. This seemingly young little boat has eaten much more delicacies from mountains and seas than guys like Enterprise who can be dealt with with only dry food.

She doesn't look like someone who would eat dark food without batting an eyelid.

Wuming bit into the biscuit and felt the rich and pure taste of brown sugar, but not as sweet as he had imagined. The taste and cooking method of the pastry did not seem to be the mainstream Western style in Hong Kong.

Sirius didn't notice anything strange at all. She looked at Wuming with a little expectation and asked in a low voice: "Master, Master, how do you feel?"

"Very good, Sirius, this tastes unexpectedly good."

Wuming quickly gave a positive review.

The head maid, who had also tasted the biscuits, couldn't help but relax her expression. She then looked at Sirius with some guilt, feeling that she was too harsh on her.

Could it be that Sirius’s learning progress is so fast?

"Hey hey hey."

Sirius scratched his head and laughed happily.

"Well, Ms. Shimazaki, if Altair likes anything, you can take it all over. Well, you can also tell her that there is nothing to be ashamed of in liking sweets. I am also happy to share snacks with everyone."

Wuming saw that Shima Qi Setsuna was still confused, so he simply handed the plate to her.

"Well, thank you, Wuming... No, I will call you Commander just like that kid."

Shima Qi Shana smiled slightly, nodded shyly at Wuming, and left with the plate. However, Wuming had already discovered that a small tail was following him quietly. The greedy little boat seemed to have made up its mind to continue plucking. The other little friends in the little boat also gathered around Altair, who had a headache on his face, and looked at Shima Qi Shana with shining eyes.

"It seems that the boats are a little greedy."

The head maid concluded quietly and continued writing in the little notebook in her heart.

The boats playing around must have smelled the aroma of cookies and sneaked in because they were greedy, but the head maid was by their side and strictly controlled snacks and other things, and would never let the boats eat too much, so they simply got along with Altair and tricked her mother to come over to bypass the restrictions. Speaking of which, this style, if I remember correctly...

Xiao Tiancheng felt his nose itchy and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Ahhh!"

She raised her head and saw the knowing look in the maid's eyes. Her smile became a little unnatural.

Oops, I got caught this time!

Wuming did not notice the eye contact between the head maid and Xiaochuan, but the noise made by the Xiaochuan brought the discussion of the science group to an end, and it was time for him to announce the addition of new members in such a formal occasion.

"I'm sorry, Commander. I overstepped my bounds. Thank you for keeping me waiting."
