Girls und War

Xia Shu couldn't seem to find a reason to refuse, so he took the cup and took a sip.

The wine's flavor was so rich and intoxicating that if Sergeant Ruby were present, this glass of wine would have completely captivated her.

Not to mention the lady's gentle and beautiful eyes looking straight at him, as if they could ignite the fire in people's hearts.

Xia Shu didn't dare to drink anymore, nor did he dare to look anymore.

I could only put down the cup and smiled politely.

The lady propped up half of her cheek and asked lazily like a cat, "How is it?"

I don't know if she was talking about the taste of the wine or herself.

"Mom." At this time, Hua suddenly called out to the lady, interrupting the strange atmosphere in the pavilion.

Xia Shu seemed to be awakened by the word "Mom" and looked at the lady in front of him with a surprised expression.

The lady's rosy lips curled up slightly, and her eyes narrowed as she looked at Lieutenant Hua.

It does look somewhat similar to a flower.

"It's been a while since we last met. How have you been?" The lady smiled lovingly at Hua.

Hua nodded, but didn't seem to want to speak.

The lady asked again, "Why don't you sit down? Are we strangers now?"

Upon hearing this, Hua moved a stool next to Xia Shu and sat down, apparently unwilling to sit too close to this bright and charming enchantress.

Xia Shu now understood Lieutenant Hua a little better.

No matter who it is, having such a charming and beautiful mother, I'm afraid the mood will be very complicated.

Fortunately, Hua is a girl, otherwise things might have developed in a terrifying direction.

The lady stretched out a little tiredly, her graceful curves outlining her figure like a young girl.

But a young girl cannot obtain this mature and sweet taste of Mother Earth.

Xia Shu believed that the other party did not do it on purpose because of the seductive look that was ingrained in her bones.

But some women are born to be the queen of the beehive.

Whether she wants it or not, loves it or not, the bees will build a sweet and crowded hive for her.

"Hello, Natsuki. Let me introduce myself. I'm Rose, the honorary Dame of the Human Life Sciences Institute. As you can see, I'm Hana's mother. However, I prefer to be called Ms. Rose."

Natsuki nodded and gave Ms. Rose a polite smile.

Rose supported her chin and gave Xia Shu a sweet and innocent smile, her eyes fixed on him, like a girl infatuated with her lover.

Xia Shu felt a little embarrassed and glanced sideways at Hua.

This time, Hua did not notice Xia Shu, but looked at her mother with a tense expression, as if she was facing a mortal enemy.

Xia Shu was a little confused, then he heard Rose say, "I heard that Miss Xia Shu is currently leading the establishment of a special forces unit? How is it going? Is the work going smoothly?"

Natsuki turned around and quickly replied, "Ah, it's okay. It's just..."

He paused, then gave a wry smile, as if realizing there was no point in being too clear.

"What? You think I'm not interested in this?" Rose suddenly said with a teasing expression, "Don't look at me like this. After all, I'm an honorary major general in the sea area."

843. The Mother of Three Hundred Children, the Bewitching Temptress

After Miss Rose told him her honorary military rank, Xia Shu immediately showed a surprised expression.

Then she immediately turned her gaze to Hua, as if to ask what the meaning of Hua bringing her here was.

However, Rose seemed to see what Xia Shu was thinking, and she smiled and said, "I asked her to bring you here. It has nothing to do with her. Right, my dear daughter."

Hua heard this and said in a low voice, somewhat dully, "You don't need a good daughter like me..."

Xia Shu heard the conversation between the two and was a little confused.

Rose continued, "Yes, that's right. You're not the only one. And, Xia Shu, to be honest, I actually have hundreds of children."

Natsuki didn't even feel that strange when he heard what she said, for some reason.

Perhaps the stereotype of Miss Rose is so deep that no one would find it strange even if her private life were a little more chaotic.

Miss Rose paused for a moment and continued, "Speaking of which, I have a daughter, you may have heard of her. Her name is Guinevere."

When Xia Shu heard this name, he was shocked.

The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces in the sea area, Admiral Guinevere.

Is she the daughter of Ms. Rose in front of me?

So, Lieutenant Hua is Guinevere's sister? Then why haven't I ever heard her mention her?

And why should flowers be added to the flower area?

Lieutenant Hana, as if sensing Xia Shu's doubt, immediately said, "That's not surprising. Rose has three hundred children, all of varying appearances. Some are sworn enemies, others are incestuous and adulterous. Anyone who knows her wouldn't find it unusual that her daughter is different from ordinary people."

"After all, human society never stipulates the maximum number of offspring a person can raise. Don't you agree, Mom?"

The resentment in Hua's words was almost visible to the naked eye, and Rose was not surprised when she heard it.

Xia Shu once again refreshed his understanding of the social structure of the Indigo Star people.

I think the offspring born by Miss Rose must not be her own.

A large part of this probably comes from genetic surrogacy.

With the development of science and technology, many ethical issues have become a joke.

The continuation and development of mankind hopes to see countless possibilities, and the law will never restrict anyone's reproductive behavior.

So Rose can have three hundred children.

It is not impossible that among these three hundred children, one or two outstanding ones will emerge.

Even thinking more deeply, could this unbridled reproduction be a form of experiment?

Xia Shu knew that the Institute of Human Life Sciences had fertility research with considerable academic achievements.

Rose was able to obtain the honorary knighthood of the academy, but it was not something she could have obtained easily by simply spreading her legs.

However, what kind of academic value does this kind of transcendental reproduction that disregards human ethics have?

No, if I think about it any further, all sorts of super-contextualizations like Adam and Eve, the Old and New Testaments, and so on, all come flooding back to me. This book is, after all, a daily life novel, so I can't go in that direction.

So Xia Shu put aside these extensive thoughts about the society of Blue Star and focused his attention on the woman in front of him.

When Rose heard Hua's words, a teasing smile appeared on her lips. She then said, "You are very dissatisfied, my daughter. Is it because the love your mother gave you is not enough?"

When Hua heard Rose's words, her expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

Xia Shu couldn't imagine what it was like for a girl to grow up in an environment with more than 300 brothers and sisters. Therefore, she couldn't empathize with Hana's feelings at all.

At this time, Rose leaned back in her chair again, spread one hand towards the flowers, and said, "Now, I want to talk to Miss Xia Shu alone. If you still want to stay with her, I suggest you step away."

Hua hesitated for a moment after hearing this. Then she stood up and said to Xia Shu, "I'll wait outside."

Then he left the garden and walked outside the villa.

Natsuki saw Hana leave and turned back to look at Miss Rose.

Rose smiled gracefully again, lazily lying on the chair, holding up the red wine glass, and said while shaking it gently, "Xia Shu... Miss, I wonder what you think of the war zone conversion?"

As soon as Rose asked this question, Xia Shu knew why the other party came to see him.

To put it bluntly, changing war zones means changing jobs.

The Commander-in-Chief had done this before, as had Fafner. As for Lieutenant Hana... Natsuki didn't know her past, so he couldn't say for sure.

But if I were to choose, then of course it would be...

"Don't rush to answer. You must have your own opinion about what I said. I understand very well." Rose smiled and said casually, "What I'm saying now is not based on my own considerations. In fact, my daughter - oh, I mean Guinevere - has been very interested in you recently. However, she can't persuade you through her silly sister. So, she turned around and asked me for help."

Rose smiled as she took another sip of red wine, then continued, "My children have never dared to disobey me. So she had no choice but to find a way to bring you to me. They always think I'm good at persuading others, and regard me as a seductress who toyed with people with her words. Tell me, what other child in the world would treat their mother like this? Am I pitiful?"

Natsuki was silent for a moment, thinking about what Rose had said.

Then, she asked, "Admiral Guinevere, do you also want to form a special forces team?"

Rose smiled innocently, looking at Xia Shu with a slightly tipsy look, and quickly replied, "They all said you were amazing, smart, and steady. Now I know what they meant."

Xia Shu remained silent and thought about who the "they" she was referring to was.

But when I think about it, most of her daughters should have joined the military system, so it is normal for them to talk about themselves.

As for whether Hana would leak information about the flower district to the lady in front of him—Natsuki felt that it was unlikely.

With a sleepy mind, there is no reason for him to choose a traitor to participate in his personal work.

"Special forces, or departmental commanders? I don't understand these things, and I'm too lazy to understand them." Rose smiled again and said, "It's just that one of my daughters asked me for something, and I passed on her request to you, that's all."

Xia Shu nodded, indicating that he understood.

But before she could say anything, Rose continued, "But after seeing you today, I had other ideas. It's a pity that such an outstanding girl like you always ends up inferior to others. I have other suggestions for you. Would you like to listen to them?"

844. Let's play the exciting coloring game

Since Miss Rose had taken the initiative, Xia Shu couldn't refuse her, so he nodded and said, "I'd like to hear the details."

Rose tapped the table with her slender fingers and said to her, "I know that in the military, your favorite thing is to organize and lead a rising unit, starting from scratch and making a name for yourself. I also know that the special forces unit you are discussing now was single-handedly promoted by you, Xia Shu."

"It's unrealistic to ask you to give up this great opportunity, jump to a completely unfamiliar environment, and start all over again for some empty promises. So I won't advise you to go to Guinevere to do such tiring work.

"My suggestion to you is to choose an option with greater potential and more opportunities. You know, besides the major war zones, the smaller ones also have great potential, right? There are some particularly high-quality ones, and some of my sons and daughters are serving as senior generals there. If you're interested, I can promote you to a position and let you lead one."

After Rose finished speaking, she held the wine glass and looked at Xia Shu with a satisfied look on her face.

Xia Shu thought about it and felt that this proposal was indeed quite attractive.

To put it in another way, it is like finding a small Roman orthodox country in a historical strategy coloring game and starting your own journey to restore Rome.

After all, who doesn’t like watching little blocks of color on a map eventually integrate into a bright, solid color?

Moreover, this way of playing the game is much easier than groping your way through a large war zone bit by bit, fighting your way to the top.

After all, the larger the war zone, the more difficult the path to promotion will be.

Just look at the young commander. He is obviously such a talented general, but because the promotion path in the Eagle District has been blocked, he has no hope of promotion. That's why he was recruited by Princess Zhao to join the Flower District Generals Center.

Looking back, if the young commander had focused all his attention on Eagle District, who knows what she would be like now.

The same principle applies to Xia Shu. For example, she is still a lieutenant, and with the special forces as her advantage, she has a lot of room for promotion.

But if she waits until she is promoted to the rank of general, she will then face countless powerful promoted opponents in the flower area.

By then, it will be almost impossible to get promoted as quickly as now.

But if she is valued in a small war zone with potential, it is a completely different matter.

Because there are fewer competitors, there are more opportunities, and anyone with a little ability will be promoted quickly.

Wouldn't it be easy and enjoyable to become the leader of a small area and play coloring games?

Maybe if you are lucky enough to recover Rome, you can even be crowned the yellow emperor of Europe. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Xia Shu has such potential, and now, Miss Rose, who has three hundred children, also admires her very much.

As long as she nods, being crowned king or appointed prime minister will not be a problem.

But Natsuki is Natsuki after all. If she could give in to temptation so easily, Haruka would have taken maternity leave long ago.

So she quickly smiled at Rose and said, "Thank you very much for your advice, Miss Rose. But my answer is - being faithful is my personal spiritual pursuit. If I change my partner casually, I will definitely regret it later."

Rose nodded in surprise at Xia Shu's words and said, "Loyalty, loyalty. That's a truly excellent quality. I admire you more and more. Xia Shu, what are your thoughts on the continuation of your genes?"

As she spoke, Rose licked her wet lips and gently and wantonly stroked the back of Xia Shu's hand.

Xia Shu was flattered, shrank back into the chair while holding her own little hand, and said politely, "I haven't considered it yet. I don't want to think about it."

Rose narrowed her eyes and smiled at Xia Shu for a long moment, making her feel creepy. Then she said seriously, "But I still want to remind you that although your promotion journey is smooth sailing now, once you pass the second or even third level, what lies ahead of you will not be just simple military achievements and resume."

Xia Shu naturally knew what Rose said.
