But judging from the description of the Purifier, the Siren ships belonging to the [Arbitration Agency] seem to be more ferocious than those of the [Experimental Agency]?
"Oh, right." The Purifier seemed to suddenly remember something, and whispered in Su Xin's ear: "Don't you like dark skin? There is an arbitrator named Sterncus, who should meet your requirements~"
Su Xin glared at her, pushed her away and rubbed her ears, "It's better to talk nicely than to be so close. It's itchy when you blow into me."
"Okay, okay. If you have any questions, just ask. Consider this as payment for my staying so long."
"Hmm... I remember you said that when a world has a ship girl who can perfectly master [META energy], this world will be sealed up, right?"
"Yes, when they reach that level, the world will be almost destroyed, and they... will most likely join the Embers, right?" the Purifier explained casually.
Su Xin thought this was odd, and asked, "You mean... there's a small chance they won't join?"
"Hmm~ There are also those who have suffered so much and feel hopeless that they are unwilling to join [Ember] and make a meaningless struggle. They will probably just find a place to retire, right?"
"Then... will your [Arbitration Agency] also destroy them?"
"Really? But this situation rarely happens. Usually, the [Ember] interferes with the [Test Site] first, and then they follow the trail to deal with it."
The Purifier paused, then added, "If the people who are taking care of the elderly are well behaved, they won't be able to find any information, and naturally they won't be able to find the person who is hiding."
Su Xin was actually very curious. If this was the case, wouldn't it be impossible for her to enter Helena's world from the [Archives]?
But this ability is so special that she is not sure what kind of impact it will have after telling the Purifier. If the effect is huge, it will be equivalent to taking sides.
"Not being able to remain neutral is definitely a bad thing..."
Su Xin had a plan, so she didn't ask any more related questions, but instead turned the topic to her own world.
"What do you plan to do in this world later?"
The Purifier scratched his head. "In fact, we are just looking for different [opportunities]. No matter which world we are in, our ultimate goal is the same."
"We will help people in various worlds speed up their technological research and development, make them stronger, and then observe the subsequent direction of the world."
"The existence of the Sirens is probably a good thing for humans. They can become stronger at the lowest cost, and they also have a common 'enemy', which allows them to stop fighting among themselves and focus on progress."
"It's the same here. I will cooperate with the human leaders and give them technological products that are far ahead of their time. At the same time, I will be a good target."
The Purifier tilted his head to look at Su Xin and smiled softly, "But you are already a [variable], so to me, you are more important than the whole world."
Su Xin was stunned for a moment, feeling that the atmosphere was inexplicably orange, but after careful consideration, she realized that it was natural to pay attention to the experimental samples, and she was just being self-indulgent.
In order to dispel the sticky atmosphere, Commander Su finally asked a completely unrelated question.
"You said that the appearance of a ship girl will be affected by her own consciousness. Then... why is Saratoga, as an aircraft carrier, so flat?"
The Purifier was stunned by the question, thought about it for a few breaths, and then explained it in a nonsensical but confident manner.
"Oh, maybe it's because...she herself doesn't believe that she can grow bigger?"
Chapter 645 I am the Master!
During lunch, Su Xin noticed that Kewei looked dejected and guessed that he had been scolded.
She was a little curious about what would happen if she quietly called out that nickname at this time, but considering that this was a disdainful approach, Commander Su, who had a conscience, did not try it in the end.
Guanghui seemed to be in a good mood, and Dido also looked a little more relaxed. I guess the holiday did have some effect.
Commander Su felt much more at ease. He quickly finished his meal in a few bites, then ran into the kitchen, took the lunch boxes that were stacked seven or eight layers high, and prepared to deliver employee meals to Befa.
"I'm full, I'm going out first~"
"Well, drive slowly. Are you alone?" Yixian glanced at Tiancheng who was eating in silence and asked.
Su Xin calmed the slightly flustered maid with her eyes, nodded and replied, "I'm giving Sister Dido a day off today. It's close anyway, so it's okay."
"It's not that I'm worried about safety. If you go alone to help, the store won't be able to handle it, right?"
"It doesn't matter. I plan to recruit another person today, so Sister Beifa doesn't have to worry about this anymore." Commander Su was confident.
"But…"
Sheffield took out a napkin and wiped the corners of his lips, then stood up silently and followed Su Xin. He turned his head to look at Dido, then nodded to Yixian.
Yixian no longer had any worries and watched the two of them leave with a smile.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after most of the diners had left. She first glanced at Dido who was sitting quietly and obediently, and then glanced at Tiancheng who stayed behind but was frowning and looking at his phone.
"... Let's talk."
"Ah."
"Sister Sheffield, it feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."
"...In fact, we see each other every time we dine."
Su Xin thought about it and changed her words, "Well...it just means we haven't talked for a long time."
"If you're not being cheesy on purpose, then your sense of time is wrong." Sheffield said with a wooden face, "After all, we just spoke the day before yesterday."
"...Yeah?"
Su Xin recalled for a while and found that it was indeed the case. She had just stayed in the [Archives] for several days, which led to some errors in her cognition.
But this is not a big deal. Su Xin smiled and said, "Okay, let me tell you, before... No, yesterday, yesterday I hired a new employee, also from the Royal Family. Guess who it is?"
"...Master, why don't you guess whether Befa told me after he came back?"
"Ah? Did she tell you that?" Commander Su was a little frustrated. "I was thinking that I'd invite your queen to come and give you a scare."
Sheffield drily complained, "That's a shame."
Su Xin tilted her head to look at the expressionless maid, "Hmm...why do I feel like your attitude towards me has become a little worse, sister?"
"I'm so sorry, it's just your illusion."
"Of course!" the young commander said firmly, "In the past, you would have said, 'If being forced to look down on others because of your height is considered a bad attitude, then you are right'!"
Sheffield paused, feeling quite surprised. This was indeed what she would say. In fact, given her personality, the probability of her saying it in this situation was very high.
I don't know since when, but she seemed to... start to consider Su Xin's feelings and royal etiquette again? She clearly didn't speak so roundaboutly before.
"...Sister? What's wrong with you..."
"...Nothing." Sheffield took another step, the distance between his legs almost equal, "You worry too much."
Su Xin thought about it carefully for a moment and caught a clue. "Sister, is this because you changed jobs?"
"Although having a rich imagination is an advantage, being too narcissistic and making unreasonable associations will damage your image."
"No, no, although that's certainly what you would say, but before when you spoke to me you looked at me like a bug, so it's still different."
Sheffield sighed and gave Dao a look of contempt, as if he were a pest. "...Sometimes I even wonder if you really have some weird fetish."
Su Xin smiled and didn't take it seriously, "I don't think so."
The two walked for a while before Sheffield breathed a sigh of relief, "As you can see, I'm just returning to my normal life as a maid."
She recalled the days when she force-fed Su Xin while she was reading, and the days when she quarreled and mocked her every now and then. "The things before... were against the maid code."
Commander Su didn't care at all and turned to ask about Sheffield's current job content, "Um... so sister has been cleaning the port area recently?"
"To be specific, it's the rooms of some of the ship girls." The scumbag maid told the truth
"Is that so... But I think you should clean your own room." Su Xin stopped, put her hands behind her back and smiled at Sheffield, "So... come back?"
Sheffield obviously didn't expect the conversation to develop. He took a step forward, then realized the distance was too close, so he stepped back consciously, not agreeing.
"I'd rather not do this idle job. As a maid, I have my own principles."
Su Xin understood immediately, "Oh~ That is to say, if I need help here, you are willing to come back, right?"
Sheffield thought about it, but couldn't figure out anything wrong, so he nodded and said, "Yes, but Dido is enough for matters related to you."
"Hehe~ That's not necessarily true. I'm a very troublesome person. I have to bring hot water with me, tie my hair up before sleeping, and there can't be alcohol in the room. Books have to be placed in order..."
Su Xin chuckled softly, "So... Sister Dido is too busy. She still has to make tea for Sister Yixian. What if I just happen to get up and can't pick out clothes?"
Sheffield replied calmly, "Once you have recruited the people today, Befa will take care of everything."
"Yes, but Sister Beifa will also be back. Um...she will help Sister Yixian and I with our work plans, and I want to give her Lafei's homework to check!"
"Anyway... there will always be a place where you are needed." The little commander muttered to himself.
Sheffield pursed his lips, suppressing the inexplicable joy in his heart, and finally added, "The tea party of Miss Hood and Miss Glory also needs the maid to take charge."
"Then go on schedule." Su Xin showed her authority as the Master, her eyebrows slightly raised, "I am the Master, so why can't I command you?"
Sheffield pursed his lips for a moment and sighed, "...as you wish."
Su Xin pulled the maid's sleeve and smiled, then led her out to the commercial street. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Halfway through, she seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, it's been so long, how is your electronic piano practice going?"
"......Owner.
"Um?"
"You never disappoint me when it comes to making people feel uncomfortable."
"......Thanks?"
Chapter 646 My sister's name is Soy Sauce (wrong
On Sunday, the number of guests visiting the bathhouse increased compared to usual. A small number of them were regular customers, while the others mostly came to interact with the little conductor.
I heard that Commander Su Xiao came to help on Friday and Saturday, so there was no reason for her not to come on Sunday, so the ship girls who were interested in her came over to try to meet her by chance.
Beifa knew, but everyone who came was a guest. Besides, even if she didn't need money, Ye and Tianhou did. She couldn't just drive away the people who were watching the fun, right?
And according to the temperament of her little commander, she said "just today" or "not tomorrow", but as long as she, the maid, is away for a day, the other party will come that day.
This made Beifa both moved and helpless. He was pleased with Su Xin's care and consideration, but also worried about her enthusiasm regardless of occasion and time.
As a maid, Beifa's primary job principle is to take good care of Su Xin, ensure her personal safety, and arrange all matters for her in an orderly manner.
But there are too few tasks to be handled in the port area, and there is also the secretary ship Yixian to help. In addition, the commander is very capable, so there is basically no room for the maid to intervene.
In terms of personal safety, Akagi has been much more well-behaved recently. I don't know if he has been treated coldly enough and has become quiet. Su Xin has moved in with Yixian, so there is no need for the maid to worry about him.
As for taking care...to be honest, Befa even felt that in life, the maids could not help the little commander at all. Su Xin could do everything they could do by herself. She was incredibly self-disciplined.
She was useless in any of the three areas of work, so she had to settle for the next best thing and help the people Su Xin wanted to help, so that she would at least have something to do.
But if Su Xiaozhi is forced to come here every day to work for free because of this, wouldn't she be causing trouble for her master? Besides, with so many people coming and going, safety cannot be guaranteed.
"Ah..." Befa sighed silently in her heart, "I always feel that... too good business is not always a good thing..."
"Okay...Okay! Now that you've finished your bath, please leave. Eh? Are you giving me the milk? You're really... No, that's not right. You're hinting at something, aren't you?!"
Belfa looked at another customer who had just run away after teasing Her Majesty the Queen, smiled helplessly, and said, "Please go to the counter with number 397 and follow the staff into the store to take a shower."
Elizabeth, who chased after him in a light shirt, wiped her sweat and stood with her hands on her hips to correct him: "It's Your Majesty, the staff is really beneath my dignity!"
Beifa nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's almost time for dinner. Please hold on for a while longer."
"Hmph~ I can do it without you telling me. I'm not doing this for food, I just... I just promised that commoner to work hard, so...
Just at this moment, a "commoner" who came to deliver food squeezed in from the crowd and glanced at Belfa, who had an impeccable smile, and Her Majesty the Queen, who was sweating profusely but still did not strike.
"Sister Beifa, Silly Bai, we are here to deliver food."
Elizabeth, whom she had only known for two days, seemed happier than the maid, Befa. She raised her hand as if to say hello, but then she remembered her royal manners, coughed lightly and stood up.
"Who... who allowed a commoner like you to call me like that?" Elizabeth paused, "... Wait, is your pronunciation really okay?"
"Oh, it's Sabrina, that's right." Su Xin pretended to be dumb and led Sheffield to the counter to take over. "Thank you for your hard work. Let's eat quickly. Everyone has brought their own~"
Elizabeth raised her chin and groaned, "Isn't this a matter of course?"
Beifa looked at Sheffield, then glanced at Su Xin helplessly, "...Commander, thank you for your help."
"No, go eat now, and remember to call Ueno-sister and the Queen."
Befa nodded, took Elizabeth and Sheffield, who was temporarily replacing her, into the store, and told her the general content of the job as they walked.
Su Xin stayed outside, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on a chair behind the counter. After looking at the ship girls who were blinking their eyes outside for a moment, she smiled and greeted them.
"Good afternoon, um... they are going to have lunch, so the calling speed will be a little slower, please understand..."
Having meals is a normal thing for people, and besides, it doesn't mean that reception has been completely suspended. In addition, most people are still looking forward to meeting the young commander, so everyone accepts it well.
Su Xin chatted with the guests for two consecutive days. The topics were varied. Basically, the ship girls asked questions and she answered them. Today was no exception.
