Town Guard House, early in the morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The soul network was withdrawn, and Lie slowly opened his eyes... This morning, Haiyan arrived at the target sea area and contacted Lie as instructed.

After descending his will, Lie made a fuss with Haiyan's body, and "kindly" told the nameless admiral that the belonging of the sisters had changed.

Now, Haiyan is on her way back, and Lie's soul network has been recovered.

…

"There's no need to be so cumbersome, right?" Lie said as he cooperated with Zero.

It's still early in the morning, that is, when Lie has just recovered the soul network, he finds that Zero is next to the bed... At the first moment, Zero sensed it and immediately ran in.

Originally, Zero was in the kitchen making breakfast for everyone with Aota and the sisters, or teaching Aota and the sisters how to cook.

Last night, when Zero and Qingtian returned, Lie and the Deep Sea Girls held a small welcome party for Zero. Although the scale was not large, everyone had a lot of fun until almost the early hours of the morning.

This time, Lie did not return to the room of the Zhenshou Mansion Building, but stayed in the Manomiya Restaurant, which was the room on the second floor that originally belonged to the Manomiya. Well, speaking of which, it's not the first time I've rested in the room of the palace, and I remember that I had similar experiences several times before.

At this time, Lie sat under the covers, leaning on a pillow, and several threads with patches were attached to Lie's head, as well as his arms and chest. At the same time, Lie was wearing a helmet with the same threads attached, and at the other end of those threads was a machine.

Zero was manipulating the machine, looking at the data displayed on it, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the face of the Admiral's complaints, Zero smiled mischievously... In any case, ensuring the health and well-being of the Admiral is zero of our responsibility. It's been a while since I've seen the Admiral, and with so much going on, Zero must keep abreast of the Admiral's situation.

"Twenty percent of the body's exertion is over, and the Admiral should pay more attention to rest... The soul network depletion is seven percent, Admiral, this has entered a negative value! Your soul network hasn't fully recovered, in fact it's only less than a fifth of it is currently restored! ”

Zero's expression was serious, and although there was no major problem with the Admiral's body, it was not satisfactory judging from the current level of recovery. According to Zero's estimate, the Admiral should have restored at least one-third of the soul network since the end of the Dongzhou City incident, but in fact it was only half.

Looking at the admiral who was smiling on the bed, he stroked his forehead helplessly and put away these machines. The Admiral's situation is already like this, and the next thing Zero has to do is help the Admiral recover, instead of complaining about the Admiral all the time.

"Zero is the cutest!" After disarming those devices, Lie felt a burst of relief, and couldn't help but say, "Come, let the Admiral hug him." ”

Lie stretched out his arm and took the zero beside the bed into his arms, feeling relieved at this moment.

"Ti, Admiral—" Zero's face was slightly red, so close to the Admiral's chest that he could even hear the "thump" of his heart.

"Zero, it's time for Zero to get breakfast!" Zero suddenly seemed to remember something, and gently came out of the admiral's arms, and left before blushing and heartbeat, explaining, "Qingtian and those sisters should have finished... Well, let's go see what they do! ”

Lie reclined on the head of the bed, smiling and watching Zero leave, only the sound of the door closing.

"Should I say zero frankness, or zero is not frank?" Lie muttered to himself: "However, Zero must be the world's cutest ship girl!" ”

Stretching again, Lie came out of the bed and began to wash. On a chair next to him, Zero had prepared a new Admiral's uniform for the Admiral, which was white, and a hat that was also white.

…

When Lie walked down to the palace restaurant, most of the Deep Sea Girls had already gotten up, perhaps because they knew that Lie was resting on the second floor today.

The hall of the Manomiya restaurant had been cleaned up, the tables and chairs were set up again, and Aota and the sisters were serving breakfast to everyone. Seeing Lord Lie coming down, many girls from the deep sea ran over, saying hello and discussing Lord Lie's new admiral uniform curiously.

During that time in Dongzhou City, the styles and textures were somewhat different, but they were generally black. Although there are no explicit regulations, it can be regarded as a convention, and most of the admirals wear white admiral uniforms, while most of the admirals of the deep sea wear black admiral uniforms.

As for Lie, most of the clothes he used to wear were white admiral uniforms, but because there are so many deep seas, he will often wear black admiral uniforms in the future.

"Lady Lie, who has changed into a white admiral uniform, feels very handsome?"

"What are you talking about, Lord Lie has always been very handsome!"

"Look, Lord Lie is looking over..."

Lie, who changed into a new admiral uniform, caused a commotion, but Lie did not refuse their enthusiasm, staying with them and chatting. When Zero came out of the kitchen, he saw this scene.

Putting the breakfast on the table next to him, he walked over with a smile and looked at the Admiral who was surrounded by the girls of the deep sea... Well, the Admiral is also very popular in the deep sea!

Squinting, Zero looked at the Admiral from the edge, not knowing what he was thinking.

The girls of the deep sea still have to go to training, and they don't stay in the Manomiya restaurant all the time, especially after breakfast. When the last two deep-sea girls gathered around the Admiral waved away, Zero picked up his breakfast again and walked over.

"Admiral, your breakfast! Well, it's already a little cold~" With a smile on his face, Zero came to the Admiral leisurely, and sat down next to the Admiral naturally after putting it on the table.

Lie had noticed Zero a long time ago, and when Zero sat down beside him, his heart trembled... How to say it, Lie saw the shadow of the palace on Zero at this moment, that is, the kind of emotion that was obviously smiling, but felt infinite fear.

Well, it's an illusion, it must be an illusion!

"Come, Admiral, your breakfast~" Zero smiled, one hand resting on his chin, and the other hand reached forward and pushed the plate in front of the Admiral.

Lie breathed a sigh of relief, it was probably an illusion just now, yes, the world's cutest ship girl, how could she make such a terrible smile?

To be able to eat a breakfast made by Zero, Lie is naturally very happy... Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of taste, it's a top-notch treat.

For example, the breakfast in front of me, although simple, only has a night of white porridge, a small stack of green vegetables and tofu, a small stack of green pepper eggs, plus two wraps... In other words, the dishes are fine, but the portions are too small?

As an admiral, Lie's body has long been a little different from that of normal humans, especially in terms of stomach, with a tendency to move closer to the ship mother and the deep sea.

Glancing at Zero out of the corner of his eye, if Lie remembers correctly, Grisha has nearly 100 kinds of ingredients, and Zero didn't bring less than this time?

It's just, looking at Zero who is smiling at him, and he feels guilty... Zero early to make breakfast for yourself, how can you dislike less? Besides, it's a zero-made food, and it's not a top-notch taste that everyone can enjoy!

"Has Zero already eaten it? I got started. Lie said this while holding chopsticks in one hand and a burrito in the other. Or Zero knows himself better and knows what kind of food he likes.

After rolling it, Lie took a big bite, and the aroma of vegetable juice and food flowed in his mouth... Lie's expression became a bitter gourd face, because in addition to feeling the top delicacy, the taste buds were also stimulated by another strong stimulus.

Reluctantly swallowing the food in his mouth, Lie put the rest of the burrito on the plate, picked up the white porridge and took a spoonful, trying to dispel the taste. It's just that when the white porridge is in my mouth, the smell is not dispelled, but it is heavier...

Lie put down the dishes, the corners of his mouth pulled apart, miserable, and Zero still looked at the Admiral with a smile.

Sitting up straight, Lie's expression turned serious, he stretched out a hand knife, lightly landed on Zero's head, and said, "Lie's secretary ship and exclusive chef, Zero, Lie has a question for you." ”

Facing the serious Admiral, Zero also sat down solemnly, and when he heard the Admiral ask, he waved his hand and replied very rigorously: "The Admiral's secretary ship and exclusive chef must answer the Admiral's questions seriously." ”

The serious atmosphere lasted for two and a half seconds, and Lie's expression suddenly fell, and he said to Zero miserably: "Is Grisha too much vinegar to run out, why is it so sour?" Even the white porridge is like that. ”

Seeing the admiral's posture, Zero laughed out loud as soon as he "fluttered", and the movement became louder and louder, attracting the eyes of Qingtian and the pair of sisters who were still in the restaurant of the palace.

"Ahem" Lie coughed twice, looking at the smile very happily, and even holding his stomach Zero, inexplicably, but a little happy. Without hesitation, I picked up the burrito I had just eaten and took a big bite again.

The portion wasn't much, one was solved in three or two, and the remaining burrito rolled up the rest of the food. Frankly speaking, although it is a little sour, the food itself is indeed top-notch delicious, and besides, it is made by the ship's mother for herself, and it cannot be wasted.

Zero gradually retracted his smile and looked at the Admiral, who was eating breakfast seriously, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again. If Lie turns around at this time, he can find that Zero's current smile is no longer the half-black smile and some emotion just now, but only a gentle smile.

"Alright, Admiral, don't eat this." The breakfast was very sour, and Zero naturally knew it, because Zero had seen Sister Mamiya make it with his own eyes.

It was difficult for Zero to make a somewhat sour breakfast for the Admiral by hand. However, if it is just served, zero can do it.

Watching the Admiral eat up the food little by little, Zero began to feel distressed, whether he had done a prank.

"How can you not eat the breakfast in the palace after a long absence?" After drinking the last bite of white porridge, the breakfast utensils became very clean, and it looked like it had just been washed from a distance.

"Why, how can it be Sister Mamiya's breakfast, obviously yes, obviously zero..."

"I'm sorry, Admiral." Zero whispered.

Yeol's hand, which had been wiped with a towel, put it on Zero's forehead and touched her head, not feeling guilty at all.

The food made by the palace or zero, Lie can still distinguish it, maybe this is still a unique skill of Lie, and it is difficult for other ship girls to distinguish.

Most importantly, through that breakfast, Riol felt the message that Manomiya wanted to convey to himself.
