"Ready!" The voice of the Meda Busoya Marine Corps officer was particularly crisp in the harbor after the snow.

The soldiers in the "Heart of Machine" armor lined up, shifting from standing with one hand holding a gun to manipulating two mechanical arms, raising a huge mecha-specific rifle and pointing diagonally into the sky above.

"Fire!"

"Bang!"

At the sound of the order, all the Marines fired once, and the gunfire was crisp and loud. Then he returned to the posture of standing and holding the gun. This is the standard Meda Busoa ceremony to welcome the returning soldiers.

By the third time the gunfire rang out, the armored cruiser's landing door had been lowered, and down at the front were the tank girls and ship soldiers who were in charge of the security work, and then Nakaku, who was supported by Brunhilde, who had changed into civilian clothes, a black Marine leather jacket, khaki pants, and his trademark gold-framed black sunglasses, and a bandage around his neck to hold his plaster right hand. In the end, Hong Yuesheng, Green Snake, White Tiger and other members of the Manta Ray team followed. Seeing the "Mechanical Heart" armor again, Hong Yuesheng unexpectedly felt kind, and his hands were itchy, and just a few days ago, he still saw the "Mechanical Heart" soldier running away.

The mechs retreated neatly, moving a distance of about a meter to each side at the same time like two rows of iron walls made of machinery. The officer in charge of greeting him made his way through the line in the middle and walked with his head held high in the direction of Brunhilde.

He was about thirty-five years old, tall and thin, with firm skin and heavy body hair, and wore a naval officer's uniform, the Order of Medabsoya on his left chest, the Medal of Major on his shoulders, and an army officer's brimmed hat with a beautiful golden brim on it. Behind him were two beautiful female soldiers of Meda Busoya, holding brightly colored garlands of winter materials such as pine branches, ginkgo seeds, and bay leaves. "Hey, welcome in line, it's so magnificent!" The green snake looked at the officer who was walking over with a big stride, and muttered to Bonnie in a low voice, "You little princess has a big face." "In fact, too, the rank of the comer is even higher than that of Brunhilde.

"Uh...... You're mistaken......" Before Bonnie could explain, the officer had already walked in front of them and stood upright.

“Your_Excellency_Ambassador，Lieutenant_Brunhild，welcome_back_safely！

(Your Excellency, Captain Brunhilde, welcome back safely!) He said, saluting Brünnhilde and Nakahisa.

"Your Excellency, Ambassador?" Hong Yuesheng was also confused when she saw the wreath of "Welcome to Your Excellency the Ambassador" written in both Meda Busoya and Yaning scripts.

Nakahisa raised his left hand, pulled the officer's saluted hand down, and then shook his hand with his right hand in a plaster cast that was tied like a ham, grinning his trademark mocking smile:

“Wow,The_welcome_is_so_impressive,and_you_also_preparing_such_garlands_for_me?

(Hey!) Why are you so polite, the welcome ceremony is not enough, and so many garlands are prepared? He looked behind the officer and scolded one of the black-haired female soldiers holding a garland of flowers:

“Those_flowers_will_decorate_my_funeral_too_if_I_die?

(Are you thinking that if I skip it, I will be buried directly?) )”

The female soldier gave him a wink with a flushed face, obviously the officer was not very comfortable with Zhongjiu's bad jokes, and quickly responded:

“You’re_quite_a_humorist,Your_Excellency!

(Look at what you say!) Mr. Ambassador is really joking! He laughed dryly,

“Colonel_Victor_arranged_all_of_this_by_himself,and_asked_us_take_good_care_of_Your_Excellency_and_captain.

(This is all arranged by Colonel Victor himself, so that he must take care of you and the captain.) )”

What's the horse? Not only Hong Yuesheng, but even the green snake was confused by the man in front of him who had been with them all the time, and was now called Mr. Ambassador, especially Hong Yuesheng, who saw with his own eyes that the new ambassador of the old city was cut by the prince in the backstage of the central square on the day of the Alliance! The white tiger didn't react, he thought about things and was always half a beat slower than others.

“Oh? Really? (Huh?) Really? The sunglasses blocked Zhongjiu's eyes, and no one could see what he really thought, but as always, he raised the corner of his left mouth and showed a smile that seemed not so serious:

“The_rescue_was_not_timely,but_welcome_very_impressive_and_carefully! Where_is_my_kindly_bro? I_can’t_wait_to_see_him!

(The rescue was not so timely, but the greeting was quite thoughtful!) Oh my thoughtful big brother! Where is he? Let's catch up! )”

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and raised his hand in a white plaster cast to his brow, knowing that it was impossible to look around from side to side, looking like a zoo kangaroo, which embarrassed the officer's face.

“I’m_sorry,Colonel_Victor_also_just_arrival_at_Mirage,there’s_not_enough_time_to_attend_the_welcome_ceremony.

(I'm sorry, but Colonel Victor's plane had just arrived at the mirage, so I don't think we had time to get here.) )”

“It’s_ok,bro. Let’s_go. You_make_Major_in_a_very_difficult_position.

(Okay, brother, don't make a fuss.) It's very difficult for a major like you. Brunhild was on the sidelines to relieve the officers. After Zhong Jiu gave up, the military official breathed out and relaxed, and only then did he notice that there were three Yaning people behind Zhong Jiu.

“Your_Excellency,these_Yanin_people…

(Your Excellency, Ambassador, these Yanin people...... ）”

According to the regulations of the new city, Yaning people must get the official permission of the mirage Asian and American joint government to enter the new city, and its procedures are complicated and the review is strict, only those who are recognized by the government as having recognized qualifications, can contribute to the Asian and American joint government and society, and have a clean family can stay in the new city, even so, it is common for Yaning people living in the new city to be checked for identity documents at any time.

“They’re_mybest_friends_and_loyal_subordinates. Just_treat_them_as_you_treat_me,would_you? Any_problem?

(They're my close friends and loyal subordinates, and it's good that you treat them like me, what's the problem?) ）”

Hearing Zhongjiu's words, Brunhilde lowered his head slightly, hiding the facial expression that flashed in an instant.

The officer of the "......" stood for a while, and then replied:

“Yes,Your_Excellency.I_will_arrange_to_complete_necessary_procedures_for_them_living_in_new_town. But_before_that,to_avoid_unnecessary_trouble,please_keep_your_friends_any_activities_with_thecompany_of_Medarbussoya_people.

(No problem, Your Excellency, Ambassador, I will arrange for someone to handle the relevant formalities for them at once.) Until then, make sure to let your friends get around the New Town accompanied by Meda Busoya to avoid any unnecessary trouble for them. ）”

In this way, Zhong Jiu was barely satisfied, so he walked towards the port exit in front of a group of people.

"Ambassador?"

Hong Yuesheng, Green Snake, and White Tiger, who were following behind, looked at each other, still hard to believe, but Zhong Jiu's right to speak just now proved that it didn't seem to be a clumsy joke. Zhong Jiu turned his head and glanced at Hong Yuesheng's blank face, then winked his right eye playfully at him through the edge of his sunglasses.

Hong Yuesheng's mind flashed back to the fragment that happened a few days ago:

A snapped photo was thrown on the insect-eaten oak table in front of Hong Yuesheng, the photo was taken in a hurry, a little blurry, and the people on it seemed to have just gotten off the plane, apparently taken secretly.

"I heard you're the fastest in the area?" A man with a big waist asked.

"Hey, Brother Bear asks you, don't patronize and eat!" A girl leaning against the door of the bun shop, wearing a blue and white porcelain cotton jacket and two long braids, was looking at the skating men and women on the skating rink in the humble old city outside the house, when she turned her head and said to a pale and thin child squatting at the table in front of her, her freckled face shaped like a cat. "I'm really taking myself as a corner." She didn't forget to make up for it.

From time to time, there was a "rock sugar gourd!" outside! Rock sugar gourd! The cries of selling.

This short boy due to malnutrition is Hong Yuesheng, who is desperately stuffing buns into his mouth at this time, one after another, ignoring the heat of the buns and burning his mouth. Hearing the question, he looked up at the bear, nodded, still did not forget to continue eating, and in a blink of an eye he ate half of the drawer of buns, and then he wrapped the other half of the buns and stuffed them into his pocket.

"Hey, boy, you still know how to bring takeout!" The man next to him scoffed.

"Bring it to my sister." Hong Yuesheng wiped her mouth, sucked her nose, and replied.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." The bear sat down impatiently and pointed to the person in the photo on the table: "The bun is not for you to eat for free, do you see the person on it?" Whatever method you use, bring at least one of them to Thirteenth Street tomorrow. ”

"Why are you looking for them?" Hong Yuesheng asked.

"They are the personal entourage brought by the new ambassador, and if there is any one of them, you can know tomorrow ......"

"Brother Dog Bear~" The braided woman interrupted the bear in time, she walked into the table, looked at Hong Yuesheng, and spit out the white mist in the winter with her small mouth with inferior lipstick: "Boy, why don't you worry about it, just do it well." No, this is a big son, as a deposit, and there will be another reward after the deed. After speaking, she flicked a coin with the thumb of her right hand and landed on the table in front of Hong Yuesheng. Then the girl snapped her fingers, and a few boys around her followed her out of the bun shop, and the sound of their chat was still faintly heard.

"Sister Kiki, where are you going to cook at night?"

"Sister has an appointment tonight, the new ancestral hall has been completed, and the drama troupe has been invited."

"Yo! It's not with the prince, sister~"

"Go to the side, don't have anything to do here, take the sister to make fun of ......"

Hong Yuesheng grabbed the eldest son on the table and stuffed it into the inner pocket that he sewed in his underwear. Then pick up the photo and observe.

Among the several "ambassadors' personal entourage" in the photo, the one in the middle is particularly eye-catching, standing out of place with several people in suits and leather shoes around him, and he is putting his hand on the shoulder of a strong Yaning man in a suit and leather shoes next to him to borrow fire. Hong Yuesheng leaned his face closer to the photo to see the person's face, it was a young man with a gold chain, gold-framed sunglasses, dark brown curly hair, and a gangster-looking face, with a cigarette in his mouth, and a provocative evil smile at the corner of his mouth, which can be called his own logo, as if to say: "Look at what to see!" Haven't you seen the stars descend to earth?!"

How did such a person become an ambassador?! "Hey! What a daze! Emily patted Hong Yuesheng on the shoulder.

"Ahh Hong Yuesheng shook his head and returned to reality, looking at Zhong Jiu's back scratching his ass while walking, and hurriedly followed.

From the port, you will enter the waiting hall in the style of an ancient oriental temple, which is very decorated with bright red carpets, and the pillars connecting the ground and the top floor are coiled with a golden Yaning snake body and a long dragon with a camel head, symbolizing good weather and good weather. The huge transparent roof allows you to see the golden sunlight through the clouds when you look up – the glass roof itself has the function of automatically regulating the heat, so the snow melts as soon as it falls. The wall next to it is also composed of translucent glass of different solid colors that open and close, and through the glass, you can see the various plants planted in the greenhouse behind it, which are still in full bloom even on a cold winter day.

Due to Zhong Jiu's arrival, the waiting hall was temporarily under martial law, so there were no other passengers except for the arranged security and staff, but the regular equipment of the waiting hall was still on, and the most eye-catching thing was that when Hong Yuesheng passed through the central area of the waiting hall, the giant 3D screen above showed that a woman wearing a traditional Yaning red and white dress was dancing on the wooden stage, her costume was wide, except for a belt around her waist, which was not loose or tight, just exposing her slender waist. In order to show charm, the female dancer painted a touch of red at the corner of her eyes, her figure is soft and light, there is a kind of Yaning women's unique softness, every move must be drawn into an arc shape, around the stage, there are drummers, there are flutes, each sitting in the front, the back wall is painted with plum blossoms.

When Hong Yuesheng noticed the image, the dancer was screaming with the wooden knife in his hand, symbolically removing the head of the man wearing the dazzling golden Yaning royal costume in his arms, and then reverently handed the head to the elder Meda Busoya in the iron-gray dance costume behind him. An actor wearing a mask that symbolizes the soul of a dead man rises from behind the man's body to the stage in a gloomy smoke to bow down to the female dancer in repentance and realize his actions before his death.

The people in the play sing dialogues in their own Chinese languages (Yanin and Meda Busoya) according to different ethnicities, symbolizing the collision and integration of multiple cultures, to the effect that gods from the West spread paganism in the East, but the Eastern monarchs are obsessed with it, not only unwilling to believe, but also disrespectful. Eventually, his mother, who converted to a Western god, cut off his head herself, and her mother led the people to convert to the more prosperous Western paganism.

Although it is a new drama adapted from the traditional Yaning dance drama method, it also contains two languages, but the singing voice is gentle and tactful, and the tone and frustration convey the traditional rhythm. For the newcomers to the Mirage New Town, especially the colonized Yaning people, they are usually not able to resist their own traditional culture, so this kind of cultural export hidden in beauty and nostalgia is more likely to play a subtle and educational role than the coercive rule initially implemented by Meda Busoya.

"Ahh Yes! Yes!!!! "Underneath the soft music paired with hypnotic culture invasion videos, there are strange sounds......

Everyone lined up outside the toilet in the central area of the waiting hall, and the sound of women's moaning _yin came from the men's handwashing indirectly. The members waiting outside, especially the members of the manta ray squad, the officers who came to greet them, Brunhilde and Hong Yuesheng, were extremely embarrassed.

A few minutes ago, Nakahisa took the pretext of urinating, but on the grounds that he needed assistance due to his injury, he brought one of the more beautiful female soldiers of Meda Busoya who was in charge of welcoming the garland just now into the bathroom, and then the two of them who were dry and burning couldn't wait to hey directly! At this time, Zhong Jiu was pushing the female soldier to the wall of the bathroom, and his left hand, which was still able to move freely, pressed the buttocks of the female soldier's pants that had been removed, and the speed of movement from the waist down was getting faster and faster, the female soldier facing the wall was panting, her chest was violently shaken, and the sweat soaked the military uniform, and finally she couldn't help it, and she couldn't control herself and continued to shout: "Ah, ah, Fxxk!!!"

Outside the bathroom, listening to the sultry voice inside, the officer swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Bonnie gently grabbed the green snake's hand behind his back, his face red and his breath was short, and the green snake was already sweating profusely. Emily looked disgusted by what was happening inside, and cursed in a low voice at Zhongjiu's excesses regardless of the occasion, while White Tiger stood next to her and listened silently. Hong Yuesheng can adapt to it, he has encountered this situation outside the Phoenix Butterfly Gate before, and he accidentally saw Brunhilde's face, she was lowering her head, her face was ruddy and embarrassed. Noticing Hong Yuesheng's eyes, Brunhilde immediately turned his head to avoid eye contact between the two. The red-haired Arya observed her words and stepped forward with her hands behind her back in a traditional military standing, blocking between the two of them, protecting Brunhilde's private space.

Finally, after both men and women screamed at the same time, the bathroom fell silent.

Halfway through, Zhong Jiu whistled and walked out with his pants tied with one hand, and when he saw everyone, he stretched his waist as if nothing happened: "Oops, it's much more comfortable to exercise!" ”

Then the female soldier blushed and straightened her collar as she walked out the back door, beads of sweat on her chest.

Everyone had to pretend that nothing had happened, and when the group reached the end of the waiting hall, Mr. Stephens, who was wearing a straight three-piece suit as usual, his shoes were shiny, and his little hair was combed to the back of his head, was standing sideways at the door, waiting there, showing his perfect butler demeanor all the time.

When the leading officer saw Mr. Stephens, he immediately stood up and saluted, and fell a big stone in his heart for finally getting rid of this difficult ambassador.

“I_can‘t_believe_that! Mr.Stevens,you_come_here_for_me!”

(I didn't expect Mr. Stephens to come to pick up the wind himself!) In the face of Stephens, even the usual casual Zhongjiu will inevitably restrain himself.

“Your_Excellency.The_Viceroy－Mr.William,your_father. He_heard_you_came_back_safely,and_told_me_to_pass_the_message_on_to_you_that_hope_you_can_visit_him_after_a_good_rest.

(Your father, Governor William, heard that you had returned safely, and told me to tell you that you would be able to see him after your rest.) )”

"Thanks to his old man." Zhongjiu muttered in Yaning, "Where is my father?" ”

"The Governor's Residence." Mr. Stephens also replied politely in Yanin.

Zhong Jiu smiled bitterly, his father may not care about his life or death either, "I'll go see him right away." ”

"Your body can ......"

"It's out of the way, I relaxed my muscles and invigorated my blood just now, and I felt a lot more energetic."

Mr. Stephens tilted his head slightly, not understanding what he meant. Others were beside them, their heads bowed and their faces blushing.

"Hey, little sister," Zhongjiu turned to Brunhilde, "you help me take care of my brother." ”

"Huh??" Brunhilde didn't expect Nakakuda to do that.

"As you heard just now, you need to be accompanied by a Meda Busoya before you can move around the new city before you get your legal documents."

"......" Brunhilde smiled, but the joints on his hands almost clicked behind his back.

Nakahisa's father, Governor William? Your Excellency the Ambassador? There is a beautiful sister, Captain Brunhilde, not to mention, who is that big brother named Colonel Victor??

Suddenly, the amount of information was too much, and Hong Yuesheng and the green snake (let's not consider the sluggish white tiger for the time being) were completely confused. This Zhong Jiu, who seems to be deaf, unprofessional and lustful, suddenly became a mysterious existence in their eyes.
