Chapter 22 Time is running out
The development of any town depends on local resources and population, and the construction of Blaycado with the coral reef town as the core has such characteristics, whether it is marine agriculture or shipping, it is also quite developed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking out the window at the sparsely populated street, the boy was observing and recording something in his spare time. He also planned to expand the annexed port and rebuild the town, so he naturally needed to do more about it.
Of course, even the most prosperous place in this sea area is Braccardo, compared to Cristobal where he once lived as a teenager, which makes him really feel the cruel reality that this place is far from the core of human civilization.
"Woo woo ~ I'm so happy to be able to taste such delicious things!" The girl who was holding a glass of strawberry sundae and quickly emptied it sighed with emotion after enjoying the sweet taste mixed with the cold.
Betty ...... This is already the second cup, huh? I still need to bring some to Suzuya-san...... "Looking at his companion who is enjoying the food wholeheartedly, even Mogador doesn't know what to say."
"Actually, it's not expensive...... Mogador or not? Alitus looked at Betty, who was looking at him wistfully, chuckled and asked.
"Huh? I don't mind......" Mogador looked at Betty's anti-expectant look and let go of his original reserve.
Aritus, who casually used the biochip and the light screen to resonate and transmit, quickly paid the account, but there was no reluctance or hesitation.
This kind of consumption may be a little higher for the average new human, but for Aritaus, who has not taken many considerations and devotes himself to the profession of admiral, he will not be stingy with the problems that can be solved with money.
The mental state is also an important factor in maintaining the combat ability of the ship's mother. Arietes, who had been taught by the Central Naval Academy, naturally knew this, not to mention that he was not a person with a cold nature, and he was still willing to pay some to improve the lives of the girls who had worked with him for a long time.
"Woo! Mr. Commander is really good! Looking at the sundae that had been brought to her, Betty said with joy.
Her innocent smile and light blonde hair unleash a strange charm that is not for her age, and this smile alone can dissolve the depression in people's hearts.
"There's still a lot of time left this morning...... Well, Torikai and I sent a message, and we still have more than half an hour to go. The young man, who was taking a break from his mind, said to the two girls next to him after checking the information in his personal account through the Internet.
"Okay~" Mogador and Betty surprisingly agreed on the young man's words, and then continued to work on the large sundae placed in front of the two.
There weren't many other customers in the shop, and although the problem of ingredients had been solved a lot in this era with the development of marine agriculture, it was impossible to enjoy such a refined diet, but it was not the old humans who were doing clumsy manual labor.
In order to think about long-term life and happiness, it is difficult for the new humans to spend too much money on such consumption, so that this restaurant is more open to receive the ship girls in the town guard's mansion.
Alitus didn't have to wait long, Mogador and Betty, who were already curious and exploratory about Bracador, quickly solved it and let Aritus wander the streets together.
In the process, the teenager inevitably had to buy some bits and pieces, but most of them were contained in the subspace by the two girls.
The boy carefully estimated the time, but after wandering around, he stepped on the time to arrive at the door of the Coral Reef Town Guard's Mansion, but he saw Bird Sea in the secretary ship of the Town Guard's Mansion again.
"Mr. Aritus, are you here for the monthly report?" Led the three of them to the sea of birds in the depths of the town guard mansion, and asked the young man beside him.
"Exactly, Miss Ellie's not there?" I was a little puzzled by Torikai asking Aritus like this.
"Oh no...... Looks like I misunderstood...... After all, Lord Ellie...... "Bird's reaction made Aritus stunned for a moment, and although he guessed a little, he didn't ask.
After telling Mogador and Betty not to run around, Arrites said goodbye to Torikai and stepped into the wider corridor alone, unconsciously releasing a sense that touched the slightly old town guard's mansion.
Unlike the humble decoration of the North Island Castle where he lived, the Coral Reef Castle that stood in this area for at least a decade or so can feel the traces of the passage of time. The old but neat frescoes seem to have faded, and the other objects hanging in the hallways seem to have been quite old.
This old-school scene brings an inexplicable sense of tranquility and tranquility, which makes people feel relaxed, and even the fatigue of the past will gradually subside.
Da-da-da-da! Looking at the half-hidden door in front of him, Aritus pushed the door in a moment after a slow and rhythmic knock, and the first thing that caught his eye was the graceful figure of a girl he had not seen in a long time.
Even if I have admired it several times, the delicate face with some kind of demonic gravity still makes people sigh, and there is a thrilling sense of temptation hidden in the pitiful exquisite body.
Vaguely, the young man glanced at her more, and because of the distance, his perception only vaguely sensed something, but for a while, he didn't know what was hidden in the girl's body.
Of course, Aritus, who had been with the girls under his command for a long time and had become accustomed to such amazing charm, only looked at it for a moment because of his pure affection for beauty, and there was no confusion and affection in his dark blue pupils.
"Long time no see, Mr. Aritus." The tactful and light voice seems to be natural, and with the girl's otherworldly beauty, it can't help but make people feel good, but Aritaus only laughs at it.
"Lord Ellie seems to be working hard, but I'm going to trouble you today." Arites solemnly sent several documents to the girl in front of him through his personal account, seemingly without the intention of chatting at all.
"It's a monthly report, and Mr. Riyuan also came here some time ago." The girl who received the information said casually, but her eyes were more focused on the image and text message.
"I've already sorted out the information...... The archives and video evidence are complete, with a total of 16 E-class missions and 38 voyages; 15 Category A missions, sinking a total of 23 deep-sea ships; Category R tasks once with a thank you note. Aritus, who had already memorized the contents, summed it up as Eurie read it quickly.
"The rescue mission was the freighter that ran aground in the waters under the jurisdiction of the North Island Town Guard?" Seemingly noticing the more peculiar R-type mission, Yuri Ellie asked softly.
"It was this accident." Aritus readily admits that he is also indirectly responsible for maintaining the security of that area.
"I need a little gratitude to Mr. Aritus for this, and the freighter also carried important supplies that belonged to the town guard." As she spoke, Eurie seemed to cast an interesting glance at Aritus.
"That's just what I'm supposed to do." Alitus said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but there was no hint of flattery.
"Well...... However, it will take some time to process these things, can Mr. Arrites wait a while? Eury Ellie looked at the information flashing through the light screen, frowned slightly, and asked.
"Miss Ellie, can you borrow a web host from your town guard's house? During this time of waiting, I happen to need to use this item, and I will pay for it myself. The boy replied.
"Well, that's fine, you can follow Torikai to room C-04." Eurie responded instantly, because this was a right that Aritaus could enjoy, and asking her at this moment was just a report.
"Well, but I do have one thing I want your help with, I wonder how much extra materials the Reef Warden has?" Arrites asked these words before he wanted to get up and leave.
"Huh? Are you going to take some of the materials from me? The quota is limited and a certain percentage of the materials are charged. Eury Ellie, who had experienced something similar, temporarily stopped tapping her fingers and looked at Aritus in question.
"Yes." Alitus nodded in response.
"That's right...... I'll only be able to allocate 500 units to you this time, and you can then withdraw them in the port depot along with last month's mission rewards. The girl lowered her head again, as if preoccupied with her official business.
"Thank you, Miss Ellie, I've paid for it." Aritaus quickly transferred the resources to Eury Ellie's account through the account originally opened in the Federal Guardhouse, and added a sum of money along the way.
After doing this, Alitus did not continue to bother, and left the office after taking his leave.
And not long has passed, and Toriumi, who was waiting in place, saw Aritus and had already spoken:
"Mr. Aritus, the monthly reward and the materials you need are all available in the port warehouse, but you still need to handle the transportation."
Aritus personally traveled to the Reef Town Guard's Mansion, partly to deliver information on this month's mission, and secondly, to receive the rewards of the Commonwealth mission issued to the Admirals here.
As a commander, you need to let your subordinates fight with the deep sea, but many times some admirals will not try their best to complete their duties for various reasons. In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Admirals and help the new Admirals, it took decades of evolution to create this mission system, and it took a certain amount of deep sea to obtain the material rewards issued by the Federal Mayor.
Of course, this amount is not too much for the experienced admiral, but for the fledgling new admirals, it can solve the shortage of materials in the operation.
"It's just...... A thousand units of various resources is neither too much nor too little......" Thinking of this, Aritus sighed slightly, although he had broken through the shackles of spiritual power, and the number of ships under his command continued to increase, but the problem of resource consumption brought about by the expansion of the fleet should not be underestimated.
There are only eight of them left with a lot of material left, but as he continues to summon new companions in the days that follow, the rate of depletion will become more and more worrying, as Veneto had warned him about not so long ago.
However, this is also a problem that must be faced in the process of improving the strength of the fleet, and Arritheus can only temporarily transfer part of the materials reserved in the original academy, and expects that the addition of more combat power can improve the efficiency of the town guard to obtain materials.
He was well aware of the advantages of combat experience gained by expanding the fleet at an early stage, and that the accumulation of sufficient strength would allow him to withstand such a drain with ease. For him, he can find ways to obtain more materials, but the time is not increased by his actions.
