Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy
Chapter 547: Candidate for the next marshal
"Sir, sir, we're here."
In the afternoon of the next day, the warship of the Zhanye detachment returned to Marineland. Compared with the time it took to recharge, the time it took to run back was less than half.
This morning, Nurkic heard his parents mutter something like "charge for two hours and talk for five minutes." Although Nurkic didn't understand, he was used to his parents' nagging.
There is nothing we can do about the slow charging. After all, driving such a huge warship consumes too much energy. Currently, there are only three places that can achieve the "fast charging" that our parents say.
One is Marine Fando, the other is the G-5 branch, and the last is Vegapunk's experimental base. Only these three places are equipped with matching charging devices.
Although the Seven Rivers Capital is the best shipyard in the world, its engines have lagged far behind. Even Bingshan was a little surprised by this engine driven by all internal power.
Although some charging piles have been built in the Capital of Seven Waters, they are prepared for other ships that use engines as backup energy to escape in some special sea areas.
Under normal circumstances, you only need to rely on sails or paddles to travel on the sea, so the ship's energy reserve does not require much at all.
However, the warships of the Zhanye detachment are too big and heavy, and they have no oars. If they only rely on sails, even with a favorable wind, they will be pitifully slow. Therefore, the sails are only used to adjust the direction of the warships of the Zhanye detachment.
To drive such a large warship, the energy required is extremely terrifying. In addition, in the Seven Waters Capital, there are small water pipe energy transmission lines that are thinner than faucets. It is not easy to charge so much in one night.
Skyler was awakened from his nap, rubbed his head, straightened up, and found that the Zhanye detachment was slowly heading towards the harbor at an unprecedentedly slow speed.
The Zhanye detachment has never been so gentle. When was it not drifting into the warehouse?The navy officers on duty at the harbor probably didn't know how many times they had scolded the Zhanye detachment in their hearts.
But today's speed is too slow, right?Nurkic seemed to sense Skyler's doubts and explained: "Sir, the energy has just been exhausted, and now it relies on inertia to move."
Hearing this, Skyler twitched the corner of his mouth, isn't this Nurkic too extreme?I asked him to charge the warship to the point where he could return to Maleinfandor. Did he really charge it to the point where he could return to Malinfando?
Not leaving any margin at all?Is this what normal people should do?
Nurkic was also a little embarrassed at this time. It was impossible for him to calculate so accurately. After all, a little bit of wind direction, wind volume, ocean current direction, and flow speed would change the endurance time.
When he thought about it, he had reserved some energy, but who knows, as soon as he entered the Gate of Justice, the engine stalled completely, so it was such a coincidence.
Skyler didn't want to say too much now. He stood up from his beach chair and walked to the fence, waiting to dock into the harbor. I have to say that being so slow for the first time made Skyler a little uncomfortable. .
Also unaccustomed are the navies on the harbor who are ready to get wet. When has the Zhanye detachment not caused trouble?Didn't the officers who didn't look at them move aside to avoid being splashed by the sea water?
This was the first time they had seen such a "gentle" Zhanye detachment, but many people still speculated that these were all illusions. By the time they got close to the harbor, Zhanye detachment would already be speeding up.
When the warships of the Zhanye detachment really approached the harbor, they were thinking that when the warships of the Zhanye detachment turned around, they would deliberately turn on the engines to give them a sea bath.
But until the Zhanye detachment broke down, they did not receive the physical baptism of the Zhanye detachment, which made them even more confused.
It wasn't until Nurkic got off the warship, started the handover, and used the charging pile that they realized belatedly. It seemed that it wasn't that the Zhanye detachment had reformed, but that it simply ran out of energy and couldn't do it. .
Skyler also got off the warship at this time, holding the gift sent by Dorag in his hand, and headed towards the headquarters building.
At this time, Marineland was much more prosperous than during the war. Some businessmen in the business district or family members of the navy had returned to Marineland.
However, compared with before the war, Malinfando looked a little embarrassed. There were scaffolding and black membranes pulled up everywhere, and almost all buildings needed to be renovated and maintained.
Even the headquarters building, which has always been neat and white, is now surrounded by scaffolding. The larger the building, the more difficult it is to repair the damaged structure and to conduct inspections.
Therefore, the headquarters building is expected to maintain its status quo for a long time.
However, Skyler didn't often work here, so he didn't care what it looked like. After walking into the headquarters building, Skyler went straight to the staff department, came to He's office door, and knocked on the door.
“Tuk Tuk Tuk~”
In the office, He immediately put down the pen in his hand and looked out the door with a dangerous smile on his face. She reminded herself again that she had nine ways to make Skyler kneel down and beg for mercy, nine ways!
"Come in!"
He cultivated hatred in his heart again, and He said to the outside. Skyler carefully pushed the door open and entered, not even daring to straighten his back. With a flattering smile, he walked to He's desk.
Just when He was about to say something, Skyler placed a box wrapped in brown paper on her desk. He frowned, but quickly relaxed.
"This damn kid has a very good attitude towards admitting his mistakes. At least it's much better than those two old guys."
When he thought of the two old guys, Sengoku and Garp, returning from the New World empty-handed, the anger against Skyler that had been re-cultivated in Crane's heart could not help but be transferred to these two old guys.
"what is this?"
He asked with a gesture, Skyler smiled, pushed the box forward, and said: "Sister He, you will know after you see it yourself."
Skyler didn't dare to tell He that this gift box was given to her by Dorag. She didn't even know what was in the box, she only knew that it was a specialty of Beihai.
If she said this, then giving gifts and apologizing would be self-defeating. She was not that stupid.
Seeing Skyler actually playing mysterious, Crane didn't know why, but he was even more pleased, so he didn't rush to care about Skyler's fault, but opened the kraft paper outside the box, revealing the wooden box inside.
Seeing the wooden box, He smiled slightly. This kind of wood can only be grown in the North Sea. Because of its low density, low hardness, and no conspicuous wood grain, it has no export value and is only circulated in the North Sea.
She also roughly guessed what would be in the box. Sure enough, as Skyler grew up, he began to give gifts and apologizes to what kind of gifts could show sincerity.
Skyler saw Crane smiling, although he was a little puzzled. After all, what's so happy about a wooden box?However, this was a condition that was beneficial to her, and she did not ask out loud.
He looked at the box and found that it was divided into two layers. She slowly pulled out the lower layer, which contained handmade soaps wrapped in oil paper. They were not valuable, but they made He's smile softer.
This is a handmade soap from a not-so-well-known workshop in Beihai. It is He's favorite hand soap, but He hasn't used this hand soap for several years. After all, she hasn't been back for a long time.
Moreover, it was hard to find cheap items like this, so she couldn't let the local navy purchase them for herself, so she couldn't get them replenished. This was a gift that suited her very much.
But He was also a little confused, because she had never mentioned it to Skyler. The only possibility was that Skyler knew about it when Skyler still lived in her house more than [-] years ago, and she still remembers it until now.
Thinking of this, He's eyes became gentle. This kind of silent attention was indeed very touching.
Pushing back this layer of handmade soap, He opened the small drawer on the upper level. It was divided into grids, and each grid contained some candies. The candies were ugly.
Not only because it is handmade, but also because it is slightly melted and ugly after a long journey in summer, but He's smile is extremely bright, after all, this is a specialty of her hometown.
It was even harder to find than those handmade soaps. Handmade soaps were still circulating in several kingdoms, but such candies were only available in the small town where she lived when she was a child.
He casually took a licorice-flavored candy and put it into her mouth. This was her least favorite taste when she was a child. Every time she bought candy, she ended up with licorice-flavored candies.
But I don’t know why, as I got older, I fell in love with the feeling of sweetness from the mouth to the throat, and then to the lungs. The strange smell of licorice has now become a flavor worth appreciating.
Just like many people did not like to eat bitter melon when they were young, but at some point when they grow up, they are suddenly able to taste the taste of bitter melon. Bitter melon is called a half-ripe melon. Perhaps young people cannot appreciate its deliciousness.
He unknowingly stuffed three or four pieces of licorice candy into her mouth. It wasn't until the medicinal smell appeared when she swallowed that she woke up. She put down the piece of licorice candy she had picked up at some point and pushed the small drawer. go back.
After adjusting the position of the licorice candy in her mouth, she looked at Skyler and said with a smile: "Now that you're interested, if you have nothing to do, just go back and rest. You must be very tired after cruising for so long after the war, right? "
Hearing He's gentle tone, which was similar to Skyler's when he was a recruit in the Navy training camp more than [-] years ago, Skyler himself was very surprised and wondered if Dorag had put Ecstasy in the sugar. .
However, instinct still drove Skyler to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Skyler stopped, then turned around and said to He He: "Sister He, about the meeting..."
"It's not your fault."
He waved his hand gently and said: "This was originally the work of the Warring States Period. It was the old guy who acted arbitrarily and had nothing to do with you. And you didn't ask Nurkic to report the matter?"
He's change of attitude was still a little hard for Skyler to accept, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Then I won't bother you, Sister He."
After saying that, Skyler wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, He said: "Wait a minute."
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Skyler's forehead. Could Crane have woken up?She had never left the Grand Line at all, which Crane could easily check.
If the gift she gave to He was not her own intention, the effect would be greatly reduced, but Skyler could only turn around and wait for He's next words.
After she turned around, He pulled out the upper drawer again, took two licorice candies, handed them to Skyler, and said, "This is delicious, have you tried it?"
Skyler could only shake her head, because she knew what she had given her at the same time as Crane, so there was no way she could have tasted the contents.
Faced with He's "reward", Skyler could only obediently reach out and take it, and then put the two pieces of candy into his mouth under the gaze of He's gentle smile.
In an instant, an unconcealable strange smell exploded from his mouth. Skyler felt that his nose was clearer than ever before, his head felt a little cold, and his throat and lungs felt sticky and tight.
This was the weirdest candy Skyler had ever eaten. Skyler suddenly had a feeling that Crane wanted to punish himself by letting him eat this candy. !
But at this time, the crane's eyes were too gentle, and the kindness in them was difficult for Skyler to see from the crane, so she could only bear the thought of spitting out the candy, nodded to the crane, and said :"very nice."
"Hahaha~ Stop pretending. I have never seen anyone fall in love with this candy after eating it for the first time. It also took me decades to slowly accept it and finally fell in love with this taste. .”
He shook his head, then put the wooden box aside, picked it up again and prepared to work, but saw Skyler still standing there as if he was standing still, and said helplessly:
"Okay, go back and don't hinder me from working."
"okay!"
Skyler then ran out of He's office and wanted to find a place to spit out the licorice candy in his mouth, but after searching around, he couldn't find a trash can.
At this time, the licorice candy had almost dissolved. Skyler simply stamped his foot and swallowed the two candies, but the medicinal smell in his mouth could not be dispelled.
Skyler looked around and found that he was on the floor where Kizaru's office was, so he ran directly to Kizaru's office. Skyler was not so polite to Kizaru and pushed the door open directly.
Kizaru, who was cutting his nails, was startled. A bright light also lit up from his body, as if he was ready to run away. But when he saw that it was Skyler, he stopped glowing.
After Skyler came in, he didn't say a word to him. He ran directly to the reception area, sat on the sofa, and started to fetch water and boil water.
Kizaru was a little confused, looked at Skyler, and then said: "Skyler-chan, please come in~"
Hearing Kizaru's slightly dissatisfied teasing, Skyler didn't care at all, waved his hand and said, "What kind of tea do you have?"
"The lightly roasted rock tea is on your right hand side, yes, that's the box."
Seeing Skyler violently searching for his tea leaves, Kizaru was so frightened that he spoke faster. But fortunately, the box of tea leaves was placed quite conspicuously, and Skyler didn't look for it long before he found it. .
Skyler opened it, looked at it, smelled it, and said with a smile: "New tea again?"
“The green and astringent flavor of new tea is also a good flavor~”
Seeing that Skyler recognized the tea, Kizaru also smiled, but when he said this with a crooked smile and a crooked eye, it was hard to believe that the "new tea" he said was "new tea".
One advantage of lightly roasted rock tea is that you don’t need to care about the water temperature. Whether it is high temperature or low temperature, it will not have much impact on the final flavor.
So after Skyler waited for the water to boil, he just took the kettle off the fire for half a minute and started brewing. Kizaru also stood up from his seat and slowly walked to the sofa opposite Skyler and sat down.
He crossed his legs and waited for Skyler to bring him tea, but Skyler poured the brewed tea into a large sharing pot.
When the sharing pot was about to be refilled, under Kizaru's surprised gaze, Skyler picked up the sharing pot and started drinking heavily, just like an old cow drinking water, without any thought of appreciation.
"Hiccup~"
After drinking, Skyler burped, and the licorice taste in his mouth was not so obvious. At least it was acceptable, but the taste of licorice spread instantly.
Kizaru pinched his nose with his hand, feeling very disgusted. He fanned himself with the other hand, and then said: "Smells like licorice?"
Skyler nodded, Kizaru rubbed his loose skin and said: "The sweet taste enters the spleen~ The spleen is weak and cannot tolerate sweet taste~ so the stomach is full... thinking hurts the spleen and anger hurts the liver~ Skyler-chan, You’ve been very worried lately~”
Skyler asked with a surprised look on his face: "I didn't expect that. Do you still understand this?"
"Slightly understand~slightly understand~"
Kizaru had a calm expression on his face. Of course, he felt that he was just calm. Then he pointed at Skyler and said: "Continue making tea, I will help you relieve your worries~"
Hearing this, the corner of Skyler's mouth twitched. She felt that Kizaru was too lazy to make tea by herself, but she did not refuse. After all, she just drank Kizaru's tea and didn't leave a drop for Kizaru, so she still felt a little sorry.
There was nothing going on anyway, so Skyler stayed in Kizaru's office, making him tea and occasionally chatting.
But I have to admit that the effect of the conversational therapy this time was very good. When he left Kizaru's office, Skyler was in a much better mood. Of course, it may be that he drank so much tea in Kizaru for nothing.
Originally, Skyler wanted to see Sengoku and Garp, but it seemed that these two big shots, who had taken sick leave and left the headquarters, ended up in the medical department due to injuries when they came back.
Skyler had no intention of visiting them in the medical department, and it would not be too late to have a party after they recovered from their injuries.
However, when the two were discharged from the hospital a few days later, before Skyler had time to visit them, Sengoku directly contacted him for a meeting, and made it clear that Skyler must attend, and that he could only participate in person.
Such a request made Skyler extremely confused. After all, bringing Nurkic to meetings has been a tradition for many years. Without Nurkic to meetings, Sengoku really thought she would remember the contents of the meeting?
And the location of the meeting was even stranger. It was not a conference room, but Sengoku's office.
Although he was doubtful and complained constantly, Skyler did not bring Nurkic with him. After all, Warring States had made it clear that she would only be allowed to attend the meeting. If Nurkic was brought here again, no one would look good.
Arriving at Sengoku's conference room, Skyler found that there were only a few people attending the meeting. There were only Sengoku, Zefa, Garp, He, and...himself?
Skyler couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall. He clearly stepped on the time, but there were only these people. If Aokiji and Kizaru were late, Skyler could accept it, but how could Akainu be late?
Seeing Skyler looking around, Sengoku waved his hand and said, "It's just us."
Skyler walked in doubtfully and took the empty seat between Zefa and Garp. He looked at the tea table and saw that no one was making tea. Is this the attitude he should have when he comes to a meeting?
So Skyler showed his initiative and started rummaging around on the coffee table. Sengoku, who was just about to start the meeting, was interrupted by various tinkling sounds, and the veins on his forehead kept beating.
But when he saw Skyler finding a bag of tea and then starting to get water to boil water, his dissatisfaction instantly subsided. How could it be a beautiful thing to have tea without having to do it yourself?
Different from the coffee table in Kizaru's office, the Sengoku coffee table is larger, so the water receiving station and stove are integrated on the tea table. Except for receiving water, other actions can be completed on the seat.
Skyler slowly started making tea, and the meeting that was about to start was postponed tacitly. Who would refuse to drink some tea to moisten their throat before speaking?
However, the good mood Sengoku expected did not last long, because Garp, an old bastard, also began to show his initiative. Garp ran to the desk and found Sengoku's senbei.
After returning to his seat, Garp "generously" distributed Sengoku's senbei to everyone. Sengoku took his own senbei from Garp. The veins on his forehead appeared and jumped quickly. stand up.
"Kala~Kaala~"
But no one else seemed to be discerning. Even Zefa and He tore open the packaging of the senbei and started to eat it.
After all, it was already close to noon. This marshal was unethical. He actually called a meeting when the rebate point was approaching. It was simply...squeezing his subordinates.
"Warring States, don't you want to eat?"
Just when Sengoku's face was filled with black lines, Garp suddenly stretched out his long arm, trying to grab the senbei in Sengoku's hand. Sengoku made a deft half-turn, avoided Garp's claws, and said:
"Who said I don't want to eat?! Take your hand back!"
After Sengoku finished speaking, he tore open the senbei package and started eating.
"Kala~Kaala~"
The crispy senbei tastes very good, and the sound is even more beautiful. After several people finished eating the senbei and felt a little thirsty, Skyler brought the tea that had been brewed and dried to a suitable temperature for the entrance and served it to them. .
"Gollum~ Gollum~"
Everyone had a happy look on their faces. Sure enough, not having to work, just eating snacks and drinking tea is the happiest thing in the world.
However, the happy time always passed quickly. After the tea was finished, Warring States said: "Okay, just order a little. We will go to eat after the meeting."
"By the way, what's the meeting?"
Skyler asked, Sengoku looked at her and said, "Discussing the choice of the next marshal."
In the afternoon of the next day, the warship of the Zhanye detachment returned to Marineland. Compared with the time it took to recharge, the time it took to run back was less than half.
This morning, Nurkic heard his parents mutter something like "charge for two hours and talk for five minutes." Although Nurkic didn't understand, he was used to his parents' nagging.

"Okay, go back and don't hinder me from working."
"okay!"
Skyler then ran out of He's office and wanted to find a place to spit out the licorice candy in his mouth, but after searching around, he couldn't find a trash can.
At this time, the licorice candy had almost dissolved. Skyler simply stamped his foot and swallowed the two candies, but the medicinal smell in his mouth could not be dispelled.
Skyler looked around and found that he was on the floor where Kizaru's office was, so he ran directly to Kizaru's office. Skyler was not so polite to Kizaru and pushed the door open directly.
Kizaru, who was cutting his nails, was startled. A bright light also lit up from his body, as if he was ready to run away. But when he saw that it was Skyler, he stopped glowing.
After Skyler came in, he didn't say a word to him. He ran directly to the reception area, sat on the sofa, and started to fetch water and boil water.
Kizaru was a little confused, looked at Skyler, and then said: "Skyler-chan, please come in~"
Hearing Kizaru's slightly dissatisfied teasing, Skyler didn't care at all, waved his hand and said, "What kind of tea do you have?"
"The lightly roasted rock tea is on your right hand side, yes, that's the box."
Seeing Skyler violently searching for his tea leaves, Kizaru was so frightened that he spoke faster. But fortunately, the box of tea leaves was placed quite conspicuously, and Skyler didn't look for it long before he found it. .
Skyler opened it, looked at it, smelled it, and said with a smile: "New tea again?"
“The green and astringent flavor of new tea is also a good flavor~”
Seeing that Skyler recognized the tea, Kizaru also smiled, but when he said this with a crooked smile and a crooked eye, it was hard to believe that the "new tea" he said was "new tea".
One advantage of lightly roasted rock tea is that you don’t need to care about the water temperature. Whether it is high temperature or low temperature, it will not have much impact on the final flavor.
So after Skyler waited for the water to boil, he just took the kettle off the fire for half a minute and started brewing. Kizaru also stood up from his seat and slowly walked to the sofa opposite Skyler and sat down.
He crossed his legs and waited for Skyler to bring him tea, but Skyler poured the brewed tea into a large sharing pot.
When the sharing pot was about to be refilled, under Kizaru's surprised gaze, Skyler picked up the sharing pot and started drinking heavily, just like an old cow drinking water, without any thought of appreciation.
"Hiccup~"
After drinking, Skyler burped, and the licorice taste in his mouth was not so obvious. At least it was acceptable, but the taste of licorice spread instantly.
Kizaru pinched his nose with his hand, feeling very disgusted. He fanned himself with the other hand, and then said: "Smells like licorice?"
Skyler nodded, Kizaru rubbed his loose skin and said: "The sweet taste enters the spleen~ The spleen is weak and cannot tolerate sweet taste~ so the stomach is full... thinking hurts the spleen and anger hurts the liver~ Skyler-chan, You’ve been very worried lately~”
Skyler asked with a surprised look on his face: "I didn't expect that. Do you still understand this?"
"Slightly understand~slightly understand~"
Kizaru had a calm expression on his face. Of course, he felt that he was just calm. Then he pointed at Skyler and said: "Continue making tea, I will help you relieve your worries~"
Hearing this, the corner of Skyler's mouth twitched. She felt that Kizaru was too lazy to make tea by herself, but she did not refuse. After all, she just drank Kizaru's tea and didn't leave a drop for Kizaru, so she still felt a little sorry.
There was nothing going on anyway, so Skyler stayed in Kizaru's office, making him tea and occasionally chatting.
But I have to admit that the effect of the conversational therapy this time was very good. When he left Kizaru's office, Skyler was in a much better mood. Of course, it may be that he drank so much tea in Kizaru for nothing.
Originally, Skyler wanted to see Sengoku and Garp, but it seemed that these two big shots, who had taken sick leave and left the headquarters, ended up in the medical department due to injuries when they came back.
Skyler had no intention of visiting them in the medical department, and it would not be too late to have a party after they recovered from their injuries.
However, when the two were discharged from the hospital a few days later, before Skyler had time to visit them, Sengoku directly contacted him for a meeting, and made it clear that Skyler must attend, and that he could only participate in person.
Such a request made Skyler extremely confused. After all, bringing Nurkic to meetings has been a tradition for many years. Without Nurkic to meetings, Sengoku really thought she would remember the contents of the meeting?
And the location of the meeting was even stranger. It was not a conference room, but Sengoku's office.
Although he was doubtful and complained constantly, Skyler did not bring Nurkic with him. After all, Warring States had made it clear that she would only be allowed to attend the meeting. If Nurkic was brought here again, no one would look good.
Arriving at Sengoku's conference room, Skyler found that there were only a few people attending the meeting. There were only Sengoku, Zefa, Garp, He, and...himself?
Skyler couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall. He clearly stepped on the time, but there were only these people. If Aokiji and Kizaru were late, Skyler could accept it, but how could Akainu be late?
Seeing Skyler looking around, Sengoku waved his hand and said, "It's just us."
Skyler walked in doubtfully and took the empty seat between Zefa and Garp. He looked at the tea table and saw that no one was making tea. Is this the attitude he should have when he comes to a meeting?
So Skyler showed his initiative and started rummaging around on the coffee table. Sengoku, who was just about to start the meeting, was interrupted by various tinkling sounds, and the veins on his forehead kept beating.
But when he saw Skyler finding a bag of tea and then starting to get water to boil water, his dissatisfaction instantly subsided. How could it be a beautiful thing to have tea without having to do it yourself?
Different from the coffee table in Kizaru's office, the Sengoku coffee table is larger, so the water receiving station and stove are integrated on the tea table. Except for receiving water, other actions can be completed on the seat.
Skyler slowly started making tea, and the meeting that was about to start was postponed tacitly. Who would refuse to drink some tea to moisten their throat before speaking?
However, the good mood Sengoku expected did not last long, because Garp, an old bastard, also began to show his initiative. Garp ran to the desk and found Sengoku's senbei.
After returning to his seat, Garp "generously" distributed Sengoku's senbei to everyone. Sengoku took his own senbei from Garp. The veins on his forehead appeared and jumped quickly. stand up.
"Kala~Kaala~"
But no one else seemed to be discerning. Even Zefa and He tore open the packaging of the senbei and started to eat it.
After all, it was already close to noon. This marshal was unethical. He actually called a meeting when the rebate point was approaching. It was simply...squeezing his subordinates.
"Warring States, don't you want to eat?"
Just when Sengoku's face was filled with black lines, Garp suddenly stretched out his long arm, trying to grab the senbei in Sengoku's hand. Sengoku made a deft half-turn, avoided Garp's claws, and said:
"Who said I don't want to eat?! Take your hand back!"
After Sengoku finished speaking, he tore open the senbei package and started eating.
"Kala~Kaala~"
The crispy senbei tastes very good, and the sound is even more beautiful. After several people finished eating the senbei and felt a little thirsty, Skyler brought the tea that had been brewed and dried to a suitable temperature for the entrance and served it to them. .
"Gollum~ Gollum~"
Everyone had a happy look on their faces. Sure enough, not having to work, just eating snacks and drinking tea is the happiest thing in the world.
However, the happy time always passed quickly. After the tea was finished, Warring States said: "Okay, just order a little. We will go to eat after the meeting."
"By the way, what's the meeting?"
Skyler asked, Sengoku looked at her and said, "Discussing the choice of the next marshal."
