[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat

Being forcibly sent back to the command post is nothing new to Zhou Jianwen.

It can be said that he is familiar with the first time and the second time. Looking at the dazzling white light in front of him that almost blinds his eyes disappears in an instant, and is replaced by the office of the command post that he is very familiar with. Apart from the discomfort in the eyes, Zhou Jianwen Other than that, there was no other big reaction.

Watching Zhou Jianwen, who was wearing a white navy uniform, return to the command post, Veneto and Yixian, who had previously retreated to the command post because of her mandatory order, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jianwen, who fell down on the sofa, waved at them feebly, signaling them to be calm, but she slumped on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength.

Zhou Jianwen's head rested on the soft back of the black sofa, and the forearm of her right hand was in front of her eyes, as if trying to resist all the light that tried to break into her eyes.

Although most of Zhou Jianwen's face was covered under the sleeves of her uniform because of her actions, Veneto and Yixian still saw their commander's pale face and dry skin. Almost lost all the color of the lips.

Yixian and Venetto looked at each other subconsciously, and then nodded towards each other knowingly, after that, Yixian didn't bother Zhou Jianwen who was trying to recover her strength before reaching the next teleportation point, just quietly He left the office without hesitation, and did not forget to close the door.

Although Yixian's movements were so light that he barely made a sound, he still couldn't hide it from Zhou Jianwen, who had gone through all the battlefields in the three worlds.

Even without looking, Zhou Jianwen can guess who the person who just went out is, and what she is going to do, after all, her subordinates know it by themselves.So Zhou Jianwen just half sat and half lay on the sofa quietly, trying hard to recover her mental and physical strength as soon as possible.

About 10 minutes later, Yixian returned to the command post again, and at this moment Zhou Jianwen finally recovered.

She didn't lower her right arm—perhaps because she was still a little sensitive to light from the recent battle—but she asked wearily, "How's the situation in the command post? Have you and Yixian been corroded by that black mud?"

Hearing that their commander didn't forget to care about their physical condition even when they were tired, Veneto and Yixian said that it was impossible to be unhappy, but facing the commander at this moment, they couldn't fully express their joy. Showing off, so in the end, he could only use business as usual—and replied with some concerned tone:

"Everything is fine in the command post, and nothing unusual happened," Veneto, Zhou Jianwen's secretary, replied, and then looked at Yixian who was making tea for Zhou Jianwen.

After noticing Veneto's gaze, Dongfang Jianniang, who was wearing a red cheongsam and had her hair tied, didn't stop moving her hands, but quietly showed her a gentle smile as always, so Veneto Continuing to report to Zhou Jianwen, "We don't have any problems."

"That's good," Zhou Jianwen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Hei Ni hadn't caused any harm to his wife.

Yixian has already made tea at this moment, and she came to Veneto's side with the exquisite teacup in her hand. The exquisite white porcelain teacup in her hand was made by Zhou Jianwen when she was still in the port area. One of the collections, at the moment there is half a cup of fragrant scented tea in the teacup, and the scent has filled the whole room after a while.

Naturally, Zhou Jianwen didn't miss the fragrance, and she had almost rested—at least she recovered from her senses. She finally put down her right arm, put her hands on the sofa and adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and then she came from Yixian. He took the cup of scented tea in his hand.

"It smells so good, as expected of the tea made by Yixian," Zhou Jianwen smelled the refreshing aroma, and then took a small sip from the teacup, "I'm really thirsty."

In fact, among the ship girls in the port area, Yixian, Hood and several Japanese ship girls are good at making tea—but because of their different nationalities, they are good at different types; as for Veneto, she is actually good at making coffee .

Every time Zhou Jianwen stays up late to work, although Veneto feels helpless, but in the end, Veneto, who can’t hold back Zhou Jianwen, has no choice but to give her a cup of refreshing coffee according to Zhou Jianwen’s request, and then continue to accompany her. Zhou Jianwen stayed up all night fighting.

But at this moment, scented tea is more suitable than coffee for Zhou Jianwen, who has been exhausted from fighting with Masters and Servants all night.

Hearing Zhou Jianwen's praise, Yixian just smiled implicitly and didn't say anything else.

Zhou Jianwen, who was really thirsty, drank the slightly astringent scented tea with half a pinch, then handed the cup to Yixian who was waiting in front of her, showing an embarrassed smile, "Thank you, Continued Cup."

Yixian took the teacup with a smile, and ran to the side to refill a cup of tea for Zhou Jianwen, and Zhou Jianwen's gaze shifted to Veneto at this moment, "All the ship girls have returned to the command post? "

Knowing that Zhou Jianwen is entering work mode, Veneto immediately looked serious, "Sì, signorina ammiraglio, before you return to the command post, I have commissioned Lexington, Bismarck, Chongqing, and Renren to conduct statistics. , the original 302 ship girls in the port area have indeed all returned."

Holding the teacup that Yixian sent again, Zhou Jianwen let out an expressionless "oh" when she heard Veneto's words, and then fell into deep thought. Venetto and Yixian looked at each other, but found that No one knows what their commander is thinking at this time.

But Zhou Jianwen didn't think about it for too long. After a while, she finally made a move: first she drank the cold tea in the cup, and after handing the cup to Yixian, Zhou Jianwen pushed it away. He took off the buttons and collar of the military || suit on his body, and with a flick of his index finger, a silver chain was drawn from his neck.

At the end of the chain is a silver ring.An oval milk || white gem is inlaid on the ring setting, and there are silver wings on each side of the gem.

Veneto is no stranger to this ring, but Yixian doesn't know when his commander started to wear jewelry—or even put the ring as a necklace on a string.

Zhou Jianwen held the ring that didn't belong to her with her palm, and after looking at the white gem quietly for a long time, she looked at Veneto again, "Where's Bailan?"

Veneto, who was asked by Zhou Jianwen in this way, said "Hey", she turned her head and looked at Yixian in some surprises, knowing that Veneto was asking if she had seen Bailan, Yixian shook her head quickly. After communicating with their eyes and confirming each other's information, Veneto and Yixian looked at Zhou Jianwen at the same time.

"Is he...not with Signorinaammiraglio?"

Veneto asked back with some doubts.

She and Yixian returned to the command post because of Zhou Jianwen's order. Although they were worried about Zhou Jianwen's safety-after all, they already knew that world and the "Holy Grail War" through the few battles in the past few days. How dangerous—but under Zhou Jianwen's order, they still had to retreat to the command post.

As for what happened afterwards, if it weren't for the command spell between Veneto and Zhou Jianwen, as well as the special connection between the commander and the secretary ship, the entire command post would feel overwhelmed by Zhou Jianwen's safety. worry.

In fact, everyone is indeed like this.

Under such circumstances, who cares about Bai Lan's life?

Zhou Jianwen didn't miss Veneto and Yixian's small actions. Hearing Veneto's question now only made her more convinced that Bai Lan was not in the command post.

It's just that Bai Lan is not in the command post, so where is he?

Did they die together because the Holy Grail was destroyed by her?

Or did he complete his mission after she got all the girls back, so they can go their separate ways too?

That full of doubts was a kind of trouble for Zhou Jianwen. She leaned back on the sofa again, frowning and struggling for a long time, but soon realized another problem, "strange."

Since Zhou Jianwen came back after completing the mission in the third world, not only has she not shown the slightest joy, she even still looks worried, which makes Veneto and Yixian feel a little worried.

In particular, they also know that their commanders have never been people who worry about nothing or cause trouble for nothing-but any problem that comes to her attention will happen in nine out of ten, the difference is only in the time of day.

"Is there a problem?"

"It's been a while since I've been back," Zhou Jianwen looked out of the window—at this moment, there was still chaos outside the window without the curtains drawn, which was exactly the same as every time he was in the transmission before. No response?"

The previous two transmissions can basically be completed within one to two hours, but this time she drank two cups of tea after returning to the command post, and took a rest for a long time, so there is no movement until now ?

Is it because of the "unknown fault" mentioned before the transmission?

But after that, the system also said that it will be sent to the special event map.

After being told by Zhou Jianwen, Veneto and Yixian also noticed the problem, "Indeed... the transmission seems to be slower this time."

Zhou Jianwen didn't mention that they hadn't found it yet, but after they found it, they felt that it was really weird. Before the third world, there had been space shocks, but this time there was no reaction at all. , It was so peaceful that it was not so peaceful.

Realizing that something was wrong with the teleportation this time, Zhou Jianwen felt strange, but then heard the familiar system sound ringing in her ears at the right time——

【Dear Commander, due to an unknown failure in the system, this transmission time is estimated to take 50 hours】

【During the teleportation period, please wait quietly in the command post with the ship girl】

[The system will send maintenance compensation to the command post in the form of mail before you arrive at the map in the next chapter]

【Hope my dear Commander can understand】

[The compensation for this maintenance is: character data]

After the system sound ended, Zhou Jianwen, who realized that the transmission would take more than two days, directly put down the small and meaningful pendant on her neck, then got up without saying a word, and was ready to go outside the house. Walk.

"Signorinaammiraglio?" Seeing that Zhou Jianwen exuded a calm but frightening aura, Veneto quickly stopped his commander.

There are really not many people who dare to call Zhou Jianwen at this time, if it is not for her confidant who would struggle to speak in front of such Zhou Jianwen—but no coincidence, Veneto is one of those who dare to call her at any time. Among the confidantes who express their opinions in front of Zhou Jianwen anywhere.

Realizing that something was wrong with her emotions, Zhou Jianwen showed a rather difficult smile at Veneto, and then said, "This transmission will take two days, and everyone is back, Veneto, Find some reliable helpers and arrange a small celebratory banquet."

"It doesn't need to be too lively, the main thing is to allow everyone to adapt to the life of the command post again, by the way..." Zhou Jianwen frowned and thought for a while, "Let them know something about what happened recently."

As Zhou Jianwen's confidant, how could Veneto not know what she meant by her words, but she still nodded and accepted the job without hesitation, "Sì, signorina ammiraglio."

After giving the order, Zhou Jianwen, who originally planned to wait for a chance to rest after arriving at the new map, didn't waste any time, and walked directly towards her room in the command post.

Now she just wants to take a comfortable hot bath, and then lie down on her soft bed and have a good sleep——

In fact she did.

He didn't think about what the situation in Fuyuki City would be like after he dismantled the Holy Grail. After all, for Zhou Jianwen, after she finished her mission, everything had nothing to do with her.

As for Bai Lan...

Zhou Jianwen is not sure whether he died, stayed in Fuyuki City, or returned to his original world... Maybe he may have gone somewhere else, but as long as Marley's ring is still with her, Then Zhou Jianwen believes that she will meet him again sooner or later.

After a good night's sleep comfortably, Zhou Jianwen had already passed more than ten hours after getting up.It was still pitch black outside the closed windows, but the interior of the command post was brightly lit.

Hearing Veneto report that the "small celebration banquet" she ordered before going to bed will be held in three hours, even Zhou Jianwen couldn't help but be surprised by the efficiency of her ship girls.

Although there is more than enough food in the command post—after all, this is a problem that Zhou Jianwen has been paying attention to since he arrived in the second world—but even cooking takes time, plus the so-called venue layout. It was a temporary idea. Zhou Jianwen didn't expect that everyone would finish it so quickly.

This speed is too fast, right?

"Because everyone is very excited." Hearing Zhou Jianwen's doubts, Veneto replied with a smile, "Although for the sleeping ship girl, the disaster in the port area just happened not long ago, but For the companions who wake up first..."

"That was a long time ago," Zhou Jianwen sighed, and continued Veneto's words.

Ever since the "Deep Sea Vengeance Fleet" launched its attack, Veneto has been by her side. After that, she awakened the garrison fleet that was sacrificed at that time in the first world—and the short time she stayed in the first world aside. Not counting, they spent more than 100 years in the second world alone.

Now that I can finally reunite with my former sisters and comrades-in-arms, it is inevitable to be excited.

Even the ship girls who had mediocre feelings in the command post back then, or who regarded each other as mortal enemies due to historical reasons, will let go of all grievances because they can reunite at this moment.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianwen also showed a comfortable smile, "Forget it, anyway, there is still time, so you can make a fuss."

Veneto immediately responded with a smile. Just when Zhou Jianwen went to the cafeteria where the banquet was held to see how they were arranged, there was a sudden violent earthquake in the command post. The boat that was sitting on the sofa Jian Min almost fell to the ground, and Veneto, who was barely able to maintain her balance, looked a little grim.

This kind of shock is not the first time for the command post. The last time it happened was just before crossing to the third world. Now...

Zhou Jianwen moved the corner of her mouth, showing a wry smile, she was about to say something, but in the next second, she heard the system's prompt sound again in her mind:

【Dear Commander, due to an unknown failure in the system, we will now make an emergency landing on the special event map】

[The difficulty level of this event map is: Difficult]

【Please enter the special event map within 5 minutes】

【Compensation for system maintenance and emergency landing will be delivered to you later】

【Dear Commander, I wish you prosperous martial arts】

Since the first time I heard it, the prompt sound has always been steady and steady. It is rare to be tainted with a little haste. Although Zhou Jianwen doesn't know whether it is related to the so-called "unknown fault" or because of the "emergency landing", But there is one thing she understands.

That is……

"It seems that we have to wait until later to hold the banquet," Zhou Jianwen showed a wry smile at Veneto, then grabbed the suit jacket that she had put aside and put it on her body, hurriedly Ready to run towards the gate of the command post.

Because I have already had an experience before, some of the ship girls in the command post did not appear to be too flustered at the moment. The ship girls who were cleaning, or setting up the restaurant, or preparing for the banquet They quickly stopped what they were doing, while comforting their returning companions, they did not forget to send someone to Zhou Jianwen's office.

The fastest running errands were Utopia and Shimakaze. As soon as Zhengzhou Jianwen opened the office door, he saw two little girls running towards him.

Zhou Jianwen was hesitating whether to stop, but saw Xiangxiang falling flat on the red carpeted corridor——

Then fell to the ground.

The ship girls in the port area have long been familiar with Utopia's diving skills, and now they see that there is an additional flat throw on her skill bar, whether it is Zhou Jianwen, Veneto, or the island around her. The wind can only lament that it is nothing but fantasy.

Ordinary people really can't do this.

Seeing that Shimakaze had already lifted up the dream first, Zhou Jianwen also stopped, and explained the situation to the two destroyers in simple and concise sentences. After asking them to convey their apologies to the other ship girls , Zhou Jianwen hurried towards the gate again.

Even if it was delayed for a while, 5 minutes was enough for Zhou Jianwen, who was running at full speed, to run back and forth. When she came to the door, she checked the time and spent another 30 seconds quickly Organized the grooming --

Only then did the door of the command post open.

——Then, it was quickly swallowed by darkness.

I don't know how much time has passed. Zhou Jianwen, who was in the silent darkness, finally heard the sound of the outside world. Even though her consciousness is still a little fuzzy, Zhou Jianwen feels that the noise and chaos at this moment are not enough to describe the outside situation. .

Perhaps it is more accurate to use the land to shake the mountains.

Probably because the noise outside was too noisy, and even the atmosphere was a little weirdly tense, Zhou Jianwen gritted her teeth and finally broke free from the darkness.

But when she opened her eyes, she found that the goal she entered was not the familiar gunpowder and flames, but a Japanese room in darkness—quite similar to the room she once had in the Soul Realm.

"This is..." Zhou Jianwen struggled to sit up from the bed, and looked at the room carefully, but she was a little confused in such a noisy environment, how could she - herself in this world be able to be quiet Lie quietly on the bed.

But just now she said a few words, she found that there was a slight pain in her throat, which was replaced by dryness - as if she hadn't taken water for a long time.

The tightly closed sliding door was pulled open from outside the house, Zhou Jianwen followed the sound and saw a girl in a light-colored kimono holding a candlestick, kneeling respectfully outside the Japanese room, He greeted himself——

"Master Jianwen, are you awake?"

"Well, pour me a glass of water first," Zhou Jianwen, who has traveled through for the fourth time, already knew how to deal with it. She watched the girl enter the house and lit the candle lamp in the house with the candle in her hand. Finally, he poured himself a glass of water.

Zhou Jianwen was already ready to drink cold water, but when she reached out to touch it, she found that the cup was warm, and even the tea in the cup was steaming.

Just her favorite temperature.

Very thirsty Zhou Jianwen drank the tea in the cup in just three sips - that was the result of her paying attention to her image, she asked the girl to pour her another cup, and then she became concerned about the outside world ——Mainly referring to the situation outside this mansion.

"What's going on outside?"

The girl handed the refilled teacup to Zhou Jianwen, and then replied, "The people below said that a huge fox monster attacked the village, but I heard that the third and fourth generations have already been dispatched."

After hearing a few key words, Zhou Jianwen, who was drinking tea, paused, "Fox demon?"

"Yes, but it's in the middle of the village, not too close to the mansion of our Zhenzhou family." The girl seemed not to notice Zhou Jianwen, who had become a little weird, and continued, "Actually, even if that It doesn't matter if the fox demon really comes, after all, there is an enchantment arranged by you, Lord Jianwen, outside our Zhenzhou's house."

The surname Zhenzhou is no stranger to Zhou Jianwen, but she didn't expect to hear this name when she came to this world.

Just when she wondered if this world was the one she knew, she heard the little girl continue:

"Oh, that's right, I heard that Master Bai Lan at the root has also been dispatched, so there must be no problem."

"puff---"

Zhou Jianwen just drank a sip of hot tea because of the little girl's words, all spewed out of her mouth, and before Zhou Jianwen finished digesting, the little girl had already turned pale because of Zhou Jianwen's actions , and even let out a miserable scream:

"Master Jianwen, are you alright? Lord Jianwen, Lord Jianwen!!!"
