Azur Lane Mobile Front

After thinking for a while, Rob decided that since he had already wasted so much time today, he might as well take a day off.

"Belfa, come with me."

After calling to the head maid, Robb prepared to go out and buy gifts for everyone.

"Oh my god, is this your way of inviting Belfast on a date?"

Now that the head maid still had something on Rob's hands, she had enough leverage to play some lighthearted jokes on him.

"Ahem... It's almost Christmas, let's go out and buy presents together."

Rob, embarrassed by the teasing, quickly offered an explanation.

"Then, Belfast will have to apologize and ask the host to wait a moment. After all, a lady always takes quite a while before going out."

With a slight lift of her skirt, the head maid silently withdrew, and judging from her words, she was probably going to put on makeup.

About half an hour later, the completely transformed head maid appeared before Robo.

Her upper body was covered by an off-shoulder knit top, which subtly revealed the head maid's impressive bust.

A bright red shawl was tied around her waist, but now that it was completely open, it seemed to serve no purpose whatsoever.

For her lower body, the classic combination of a black mini skirt, black stockings, and black boots made the head maid's perfect legs look exceptionally long.

The head maid's hat, matching the color of her shawl, added a touch of playfulness to her appearance.

The chain around Rob had always been so concerned about had now been replaced with a small ornament, which was finally less noticeable.

Rob was stunned.

"Hehe, judging from your expression, it seems this slightly different outfit hasn't disappointed you~"

Smiling, the head maid even circled around Rob twice to make sure he could see her clearly.

Even on the ship, the head maid was one of the most attractive women.

Back when Rob was still in school, this royal head maid was the dream girl of many students.

Therefore, as long as the head maid doesn't go overboard and wear anything too strange, she'll definitely look good.

"Hmm... let's go."

The streets were rather deserted because it was already winter and there was no concept of Christmas in Donghuang.

This saved Rob a lot of trouble.

With the head maid by his side, and her arm still linked with his, even though there were few people on the street, Rob felt like he had been killed by her gaze several times over.

The head maid, who was out shopping, was much more lively than usual, a far cry from her usual serious demeanor.

In her free hand, she was holding a small snack that she had pulled out from somewhere; it seemed that Donghuang didn't have these.

"This seems to be a popular snack among royalty these days. Would Master like some too? Here, ah~ hehe."

The head maid pulled out what appeared to be a chocolate bar and held it to Rob's lips.

Rob's mouth was neither open nor closed properly.

The head maid seemed to enjoy this little teasing; she dangled the snacks around Rob's mouth a few times before pulling them back.

It seemed that teasing Rob made her very happy, and the head maid put the snack she had just eaten into her mouth, laughing very happily.

The melodious, bell-like voices quickly spread throughout the street, drawing the attention of pedestrians who hadn't noticed the two before.

Feeling the gazes of passersby, the head maid smiled playfully and tightened her grip on her arm.

At the same time, feeling the soft touch on his arm and the murderous gaze of the pedestrian, Rob fully experienced what it means to be between heaven and hell in an instant.

"Belfast, what do you think I should buy for everyone for Christmas?"

Feeling that wandering around like this wasn't going to work, and that he would eventually die under the gaze of passersby, Rob needed to speed up his itinerary.

"Hehe~ Does Master not want to continue shopping with Belfast?"

The head maid activates a magic card: I don't think that will work.

"No, no, then... continue."

Having at least toughened up his skin, Robo gritted his teeth and decided that if he was afraid of dying, he shouldn't have taken the ship out. He continued exploring!

After receiving Rob's affirmative answer, the head maid's smile became even more captivating, and it seemed as if she was showing off her "affection" to the surrounding passersby.

Seemingly having spotted something interesting, the head maid grabbed Rob and ran off, leaving only her cheerful laughter behind.

In a men's clothing store, the head maid is helping Rob try on clothes.

"Belfa, we came out today to buy gifts for everyone, why are you letting me try on clothes?"

While being manipulated by the head maid, Rob did not forget to make some small protests.

"Oh, Master, how about this be a gift from Belfast to you? Or would you like more?"

The head maid didn't lower her voice when she said this, so everyone in the shop heard it.

"Holy crap, there's a murderous aura!"

In an instant, Rob felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Even the boss who was greeting the two of them had bloodshot eyes at that moment.

Hey kid, you've got some fun, huh? Don't leave yet, you'll get yours later!

In the end, Rob walked out of the store carrying several large bags of clothes without even buying a gift.

"As a maid, it is my duty to serve my master. However, in order to make a good impression on others, I would appreciate it if you could carry this half of the shopping bag."

The head maid smiled and handed half of the shopping bag to Rob, then casually put her arm around his arm.

"Belfa, we've bought the clothes, now we should go buy a gift, or the store will close soon."

"Oh, Master, don't be impatient. Don't you want to have dinner with Belfast and then have something romantic happen?"

The head maid put her mouth close to Rob's ear and whispered something softly, her warm breath tickling his ear.

Rob was completely speechless at this point.

He finally experienced firsthand what it felt like to be teased by someone, and he realized that he was no match for the head maid; he could only handle the company.

So, they're both white-haired, why is there such a big difference in their ranks?

The head maid, feeling that things had gone far enough, stopped adding fuel to the fire for Rob and instead began to seriously help him choose a gift.

"cat?"

Standing in front of the pet store, Rob watched the head maid carefully selecting cats, and he found it somewhat incomprehensible.

"That's right, that cardinal's favorite thing is cute cats."

Belfast, having chosen a half-grown Donghuang specialty cat, held the little creature in her arms and weighed it in her hands, nodding with apparent satisfaction.

After handing the cage containing the kitten to Rob, the head maid beckoned him to the next place. It seemed that this head maid was extremely familiar with the market in Donghuang.

Chapter 95: Sitting in a Row, Sharing Fruit

In the end, Robb managed to have dinner with the head maid.

He had seriously underestimated the head maid's fighting prowess while shopping, and he also hadn't expected that she had arranged everything perfectly before even leaving the house.

Ignoring the head maid's several ambiguous invitations, Rob dragged his tired body back to his familiar port courtyard.

He really didn't dare to agree. He could tell at a glance that the head maid was just teasing him and waiting for him to fall into the trap.

After putting away the gifts he had bought, all Rob had to do now was quietly wait for Christmas to arrive.

...

Before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve.

New Jersey somehow got hold of a tree, supposedly to be used as a Christmas tree, but in the end, Rob did the work.

It's been a long time since the small courtyard in the port area has been this lively.

Moreover, Rob believes that the upcoming Eastern New Year will be even more lively.

Ultimately, they didn't have this habit; the ships of Donghuang had no concept of Christmas and only passively participated because of the influence of New Jersey.

After dinner, Rob gathered everyone together and began distributing gifts.

"Come on, come on, one by one, everyone's here!"

The younger children seemed particularly excited, chattering excitedly as they huddled together.

The two experienced warships, Yixian and Zhenhai, looked helplessly at their commander, feeling as if he were treating them like children.

Of course, the most excited ones are actually from New Jersey...

The energetic Miss Black Dragon was currently circling around Rob, and even tried several times to snatch the gift from Rob's hand to see what it was all about.

"Go away, get in line! How old are you?!"

Rob finally pushed the curious, clumsy rabbit away and began handing out gifts.

"Yes, Miss Richelieu, this is for you. You've just arrived in the port area, so feel free to come and find me if you have any questions."

As he spoke, Rob pulled out a cage containing a kitten from behind him.

The cardinal's eyes visibly began to light up.

Richelieu snatched the cage from Rob's hands, released the kitten, and held it in his arms, stroking it for a while before realizing that his actions had been somewhat inappropriate.

"Ahem... Thank you, Commander!"

Well, normally, this cardinal is quite thin-skinned.

Then, Robb took out a hardcover Bible and handed it to Joan of Arc.

Rob wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the skin under the other person's clothes was... glowing?

...

After all the gifts were distributed, only Zhenhai and Xianghe had not yet received theirs.

Ignoring New Jersey, who was happily bouncing around wearing the bunny ear hair clip she had just received, Rob called over Zuikaku.

"Zuihe, where's your sister?"

"In the room."

"Go, go, help her up."

Before long, Zuikaku helped the weak Shokaku to the front of the group.

This ship, which has the lowest profile in the port area, still looks sickly and weak, and even a glance at it evokes pity.

I realized that I had left this Sakura Empire aircraft carrier in the port for so long, especially since it was in a weakened state due to equipment problems.

This made Rob feel guilty.

"Ahem, Commander, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Shokaku, you've been in the port area for so long now. There's been nothing we can do for you before, but now it's time to help you get better."

"Zuihe, take your sister and come with me."

With that, Rob took the lead and walked ahead.

Realizing what was happening, everyone followed suit; their commander was about to release the mechs.

Considering that Shoukaku was not in good health, Robo didn't go far and simply told everyone to disperse in the courtyard.

With a wave of his hand, a Gundam with a somber overall color scheme appeared before everyone.

Aside from the enormous black rifle on the right hand, which is almost twice the length of the arm, the most distinctive feature of this mecha is the several dark-colored discs resembling cannon barrels inserted on its back.

"ZGMF—X13A, God's Will Gundam. Shoukaku, go!"

Since learning that ships and mechs automatically receive all information about the mechs after synchronizing, Robo stopped wasting time on mech introductions.

After a familiar flash of light, Shoukaku was finally reborn.

"Hmm... this behind me, I'm not quite used to it."

Looking back at the disc behind him, although it was much smaller in proportion than the original Gundam, Shoukaku still felt that he couldn't get used to it for a while.

"Sister Xianghe!"

Zuikaku threw herself into Shoukaku's arms. Shoukaku gently stroked Zuikaku's hair, emitting an unknown aura called "Sister Ray".
