㈢"How could that be? This is a rare and high-quality lunch box."
Wu held Hina's pearl heel and arch, and Kong solemnly posed as a waiter.
land"/////"
Thought 423. Witness the power of Demon King Gehenna!
Hinata's worries did not become a reality - Kong proved through his actions that his love for her was not just spiritual.
The banquet temporarily ignored the two and continued with Esta's excitement. Only Befa smelled a hint of need for service. She first changed into a set of equipment at the dining car on the pretext of making ice cream, then strolled to the guest room with a small dry cleaner and hair dryer. Twenty minutes after the "real host" disappeared, she brought the two back before everyone realized that something was wrong.
After all, the speed was still quite fast. Apart from a few old gourmets who had followed Sora for half his life, no one thought that they would be so bold to take advantage of any opportunity. No one guessed that Sora would be so "intolerant of alcohol". They also didn't understand how Hina lived up to the name of Kivotos Superman and returned to the observation car with a normal expression and a light posture after drying his slightly worn socks.
She drank Liu Yun's soup while retaining her sense of taste, and praised it as "the most delicious" chicken soup she had ever tasted, which made Liu Yun's neck straighten when he was praised for his cooking skills.
But the lonely old crane who accepted the praise secretly wiped his arm... If it wasn't for the illusion that had been covered, Kong would definitely notice something was wrong -
Everyone who knows her knows that she never cooks bird dishes...so where does the chicken soup come from?
To compensate for the double injury of the misunderstanding of Hinata's age and size, she plucked a feather and threw it into the soup.
After drinking the soup, Hina felt that her spirit was better than ever before, and her aura was bigger. In addition to the fact that the teacher had already given her the answer, which made her happy from the inside out, it was also because the old crane fed the cub with his own body...
Liuyun thought that the immortal power in the feather was enough for her to squander for a while, but she didn't know how efficient the energy conversion was and how much could be retained... But Hina felt as if she had drunk several bottles of energy potions at a convenience store, and could withstand the bombardment of the big snake.
During the period, Hina's smile and responses were nothing strange, and she was much more active than before when she was like a doll and allowed herself to be manipulated. Except that she seemed not very familiar with high heels and always walked on tiptoes, even a "gourmet" like Kama could not tell that she was injured - she was even too excited and did not have any of the fatigue that a first-timer should have.
...If she transformed into a spirit and followed them secretly, she would most likely be discovered - and her master would be shocked. She could only judge whether these two had gone crazy or not based on external signs.
But after looking closely at Hina's collarbone and neck and other sensitive places for a long time and finding nothing, she could only leave a word "weird" and retreat indignantly before Hina's face could change.
Perhaps it was because the Master had difficulty and was reluctant to give in to her in her first form, and the contrast with how attentive he was to Hina, that made her feel extremely unbalanced. She wanted to find some clues from Hina and tease Sora, but ultimately failed - and Belfa, who had hidden his achievements and fame, chuckled and was already thinking about the evening shift.
The welcome party was over, and her request to help Befa clean up the dishes was rejected. She received a look that said "Go and finish the fun you didn't have just now". Under the encouragement of her two classmates, Hina... was reserved, shy, and evasive. She said goodnight to Himeko before Sora took her hand and returned to the living room of the wing room.
"Are you still going to play with Silver Wolf tonight? I haven't heard you complain about being in jail in a few days... uh..."
Paimon thought that Sora would cuddle with Hina for a while, hugging her and occupying her projection screen before getting down to business. However, when she was just stretching, she looked down and saw Hina with purple eyes coming out from a corner of the darkness, grabbing Sora's hand and pushing him deep into the student-only room.
The pearl high heels fell outside the door. It turned out that she felt uncomfortable on the soles of her feet. After finally getting rid of the seal, her toes decorated with purple nail polish slid backwards and hung on the door magnet like a hook. The metal interlayer of the door gap bit the tip of her reinforced socks, but when Hina quickly closed it, the toe of the sock was torn by the reaction force...
The small piece of toe exposed in the hole made the whole set of smooth movements indescribably charming, completely liberating Hina's hidden femininity - although Paimon couldn't imagine what the scene was like in Sora's vision, but just by an unintentional glance outside the door, she could see a glimpse of the coming storm from the twists and turns of the charming heel.
Gehenna, the "big devil" that countless violent groups are afraid of, has not been on a mission in person for a long time since she became the student council president. But that terrifying side of her seems to have been reborn on the Starry Sky Train. A sense of oppression continues to erupt from her petite body, and black air emanates through the door - as if the "silver-haired bear" that everyone had indulged in on the dining table before was just Hina's disguise.
As the light went completely dark, Paimon seemed to see Sora's body being suppressed and stretched into a string by a student who was more than twice as short as him - tears welled up on the paper man's face. Although it was unknown whether Sora was really defeated, at least his emotions fluctuated greatly.
"Hina, lose your shoes... Never mind. You're not Cinderella. You probably won't react if you lose your shoes when you're having fun, right?"
Paimon pinched Hina's shoes, and for some reason he looked at them for a long time before he found a trace of drainage on the insole.
Good fellow, it turns out you guys have already...
"…The traveler is in trouble."
Paimon clasped his hands together, with a ethereal look as if to say "I hope everyone is okay", and then he did what he had to do, took out some popcorn from under the coffee table, and started to enjoy today's little awkward drama.
What kind of wonderful tools has she not seen, such as Xiaogong's cloth strips, Keqing's black silk, Ningguang's hairpins? It's just a lunch box, a small scene.
……
This whole process lasted until late at night.
The moment when the human body's biological clock is the most tired and the peak of deep sleep arrives is actually the best opportunity to hand over the baton.
"Asuina, Karin, it's past three o'clock, you can go in."
At this time, the female companions of the previous round were defeated, and the female companions of the next round were ready to go. Kong also took about 15 minutes of rest and tender time according to the arrangement. As a ship girl who also did not need sleep to recover her spirit, Befa would wait in the living room, waiting to clean up the battlefield or entertain those girls who might be at a loss due to delays or the extremely low probability of early summons.
The objects of service changed from ship girls to students, gods, and Terran women who she didn't know how to categorize.
But after having two students who developed their inner potential and became equally motivated, racial differences were no longer a concern for her - showing students how to squeeze the commander's potential to the maximum extent and keep him energetic to a minimum so that he would have enough motivation for tomorrow's work was the highest secret of the butlership she taught and applied.
It just so happened that Hinata had occupied the commander's position for a full fifty hours. Beifa planned to use this opportunity to teach the two maid stars of the Millennium Academy whom she valued very much - how to restore his fighting power and make him not realize that he had been exploited and PUA -
When she first learned this strange knowledge, Hua Lin was still confused... Is this really what a maid or butler should do?
…Now she was used to all the experiences that Befa had brought from the port area, but she still stopped her when Befa was about to open the door:
"We have decided to give the time alone with the teacher in the early morning to the president."
"This is what the Chairman deserves." Asuna also agreed.
"You are very generous, but the matter of shifts... it is not as simple as giving up the commander's time to show your consideration."
Befa stretched out a slender finger:
"You must show up no matter what, then quietly exit, make the beds, change their sheets and underwear, and after fulfilling your duties as a maid, you must also let the beneficiaries, the mistresses tonight, know that you have been here and have considerately prolonged her undeserved possession."
“…But that’s Hinata…”
Even though C&C rarely worked together with the Student Council, they could not forget Hinata's longing yet cautious look when the teacher turned his back to her - wouldn't she be struck by lightning if she disturbed them?
"Love is like a battlefield. Giving without hesitation shows that we have not forgotten our duty, but appropriately showing our desire through subtle details is also a basic right earned after serving the commander. As long as we grasp the right degree, we will not incur the resentment of the mistress, nor will we annoy the commander."
Belfasa smiled. Although she didn't know what was so great about this, it gave Karin a sense of ease, as if she was in control of the battlefield.
"I've already laid the groundwork for you. I planted some seeds for intervention when I was assisting during the day - now they won't resist. Noshiro, are you listening?"
"Why did you call me for this kind of thing..."
A certain JK weakly tugged at the hem of her skirt. Although she was unaware of it, she had already become a god who controlled the "absolute domain"——
"Of course it's because you want to get close to the Commander, but you don't dare to compete for the limelight too obviously - why not try to cover it up by using the field you are not good at? Maybe after the novelty, you and the Commander will be more excited?"
"Excited...? I guess I'm just uneasy, right? The maid outfit still makes me feel a little insecure... I'm almost getting into the silver track... Why, why do you and my sister like the half-protected and half-unprotected one, Ms. Belfa..."
The girl with devil horns pulled her over-the-knee socks, and the elastic force rebounded and created a series of eye-catching ripples on her thigh skin.
Although they look rather revealing, Noshiro considers her tights to be a "fairly conservative" piece of tactical equipment that covers a sufficient amount of skin.
"It's just a form of self-stimulation. It may not necessarily change the Commander's mood, but at least we can use it to change our mood. It's a little trick - using non-daily and personal style of dressing - I will also try to serve the Commander with different clothes, including but not limited to the pantyhose and sailor uniforms you like."
"Have you ever worn a sailor uniform? I can't even imagine it!" Noshiro felt uneasy at the thought that he might be outshined by Belfa's huge bridge.
"If you want to see it, I will satisfy you, okay?"⒐
"Forget it, it's embarrassing...? You're not going to wear a sailor suit and I'm going to wear a maid outfit, right?"
"Haven't you mastered the key points? Listen carefully, Asuna, Karin, the application mode that the Noshiro trainee maid just mentioned - swapping elements and identities, increasing the fun and anticipation, and cooperating with friendly ships with great contrast to 'hunt', is a very advanced technique, right?"
"I don't think you need to teach them this. Isn't the fact that they formed a group spontaneously enough to prove that they are well versed in this?"
Noshiro sighed. In her eyes, the two students' cooperation was perfect. It was impossible for the commander to hold back under such strong contrast and color difference stimulation: "They are geniuses."
"Only by combining theoretical teaching with practice can we exert a combat effectiveness of 120%. They may have realized this, but they need me to point it out - to make it controllable and modular."
"So this is possible! I've learned something! Karin! How about you try wearing my bunny outfit next time?"
"Senior, are you serious..."
"Noshiro, you reminded me too. Next time when I'm on duty, we'll go together. I'll prepare a sailor suit and a wedding dress~ hehe~"
"Ah! I forgot to have someone pack my 'Black Flawless'! Am I going to miss it?"
"If Asuna and the others can still contact Donghuang, there might still be a chance."
Belfa knocked on the door twice. "Remember, don't say anything extra when you go in, but when you pass by the commander, you can use some... physical contact to let him know that we are here to clean. As for where to use it, based on your physical advantages, I strongly suggest that you choose the bridge like me, if possible..."
"...I know. I'll rub him with my lightning protection belt...You don't have to single me out for this kind of teaching...It can be very hurtful sometimes, you know?"
"Haha, there is another key point. No matter how messy the battlefield is, don't be too surprised. After confirming that the commander is not injured, help them wipe their bodies and quickly exit. Do you understand?"
"learn--"
After the two students nodded repeatedly, Befa elegantly opened the door and called softly:
"Master, I'm here to clean the room..."
...But the tragic scene that came into her eyes made the head maid, who thought she had seen the most difficult post-war filth and could remain calm even when facing the surface of the moon... stunned for a full five seconds.
This scene could only happen because the three battleships, Musashi, Frederick the Great and New Jersey, were plowed by the commander's artillery fire, hit by the bridges of Taiho and Kyoukai like sledgehammers, and dragged around the room for several kilometers by Eugen, Atago and others.
Sora had been like his Q-version image of a crying man in the Purgatory Galaxy, maintaining the appearance of a tearful emoji for at least half an hour.
When he saw Befa coming in, the first thing he did was not to get up and spread open the bed sheet, but to pick up his thin, white socks tremblingly, silently accusing the little sleepyhead who had used him as a mattress and fell asleep.
424. Fight again after breakfast!
...Good morning Luofu.
Perhaps because the student dormitory was adjacent to the public bathroom, after multiple disastrous divisions, it was not possible to adjust the position to a window. Every time Sora woke up from this bunk bed, the first ray of light he saw was the only light from the corridor refracted by the star buttons on Paimon's body and her dispensable headband.
"Hey, are you still alive? Can you hear me?"
For a moment, Paimon popped out from his left eye, holding a corn cob in his hand and putting it into his mouth, which reminded Sora of a guy who invited him to blow up Night City.
Of course, the two were still far different in terms of how friendly their faces were. It was only a moment of soul returning to his body that made him realize that he and Hina had probably gone too far, and their psychic powers had merged, and Hina's mystery had spread over, touching the memory bank that the system had helped to pack, and summoning out many things that someone didn't really want to recall actively.
“Can you hear it at this volume?”
Paimon waved the corn at the air again, until Kong's eyes moved over and paused for a long time.
"…What did you say?"
"It's bad, I've been fooled..."
Sora's eyes were almost floundering, and he looked indescribably dumb. Paimon could only hold the corn and pat his cheek twice without watching: "Hina has been out for a long time - what are you going to do today? Go see that Rakshasa? Or go and give instructions to the people that General Jingyuan has prepared for you?"
"Go check on that otherworldly counterpart - how long have I been in the state of string transformation?"
"I don't know. When I came here, you had already returned to normal... Why did you turn into a paper man? To avoid Kama?"
"In addition to Kama, there is now another little greedy cat. Ugh, my headache is as if a pistol was stuffed into my head..."
"Hearing you describe it so specifically, I feel as if you have experienced the same thing."
"The system was forced to search for a while... It was caused by Hinata's 'mystery'."
"... Serious? I knew something must have happened after hearing the commotion yesterday... but I didn't want to interrupt you."
It was rare for Paimeng to show such a look of fear that his long-term meal ticket would burp.
"No, strictly speaking, this is not a problem to worry about. As long as the souls of each other are connected, there will be a fusion of memories. Didn't I also open a part of it to you?"
Seeing Kong’s expression that said, “I rely on being honest to pick up girls,” Paimon didn’t know where to start complaining.
But as he said, those memories that were evoked were harmless, and Hinata also accidentally released the "Baal" side of her true self, which stimulated the reading function of the companion system to self-check. The whole self-check process did not last long -
