sun in blue

Taking out a tissue and wiping his mouth, Leon looked at Hu Teng seriously. This was the first time he received a mission, and he didn't expect it to be a mission that would allow him to go out.

"The content of the task is very simple, it is to escort some guests with us to visit our iron blood."

Smiling at Leon, Huteng reached out to help Leon wipe away the food residue that hadn't been wiped off the corner of Leon's mouth, and licked his own fingers, then Hutten took out a tissue and wiped his hands.

"With you...? Let me ask first, who are these guests...?"

The two consecutive incidents did not make Leon react to Hutten's actions just now, but this caused the dissatisfaction of Prince Eugen who was sitting aside.

Could it be that...Huten also felt that way about Leon...

"They are...some guests from Sakura. They came here this time to discuss something important with us. Some of us went to them before. It was Ron and the others who came back yesterday. You should know."

Playing with the food on her plate, Hu Teng said to Leon casually, but she found that Leon, who was still a little excited just now, suddenly froze there.

Jagged Sailing: Chapter 18 Because You Are Frederick

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Stopping his boring movements, Hutten looked at Leon with some curiosity, not only Hutten, but also Peter and Prince Eugen also looked at him with doubts, because Leon's attitude change really It was a bit too fast, the person who was so excited just now was so stunned, the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost, which inevitably made people a little worried.

"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little excited, don't worry about it."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Leon immediately recovered from the shock and smiled awkwardly. Leon began to eat the food on his plate.

"Really? Leon, you have grown up too, sometimes you have to learn to restrain your emotions, you can no longer be like a child, understand?"

Seeing that Leon had no objection, Hu Teng said to Leon earnestly and earnestly, the appearance just now was really disrespectful, although here are all his own people, it doesn't matter what happens, but since there are guests coming, they should come at any time Get ready to show your iron blood.

"I see, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Leon naturally knew what Hutten wanted to express, but... this was in line with his wishes, because he was... really excited just now.

Unexpectedly, not only can he go out this time, but he can also see Shige Sakura's ship girl. For Leon, this is as exciting as discovering a new world.

"Sakura's guests...? What are they doing here?"

Compared to the excited Leon, Prince Eugen was a little curious. She hadn't heard of the fact that Sakura's people were coming here.

"Frederick had an important talk with them. This matter must be said in person to show our sincerity. Before you were away, we had sent Ron and the others to invite them, and the other party also showed great enthusiasm. Sincerity, but... As for what to talk about, you'd better ask Frederick."

All these things happened after Prince Eugen went out. Hu Teng didn't mind explaining to Prince Eugen again. It was no secret, after all, he was coming soon.

"That's it...then I'll go and ask at that time. Speaking of which, when will their people come?"

Hearing Hutten's words, a smile appeared on Prince Eugen's face. Since he wanted to discuss something...it doesn't have much to do with him.

"About two weeks later, so...during this period of time, Leon, you need to learn how to treat guests. After all...we don't know whether the people of Sakura will have a good impression of humans."

Hu Teng raised her head and looked lightly at Leon who was sitting across from her and buried her head in eating. She felt that it was time for Leon to learn the etiquette of eating, and she couldn't be alone when everyone was sitting together for a banquet... Sitting there with his head down, he ate fiercely.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me?"

Hu Teng's gaze forced Leon to look up at her. Seeing Leon looking at him, Hu Teng shook his head gently.

"I've decided, let's start with eating. From now on, you have to get rid of your eating habit."

"Ah? Is there any other request for dinner?"

Leon looked at Hu Teng with some puzzlement, did he still have to sit there and sip his meals like a nobleman?

"Heh~ Do you know why Frederick asked you to perform this mission this time?"

Hu Teng didn't answer Leon's words, but chuckled, and Hu Teng looked at Leon with a smile on his face.

"Why... why?"

Hu Teng's change of attitude made Leon not keep up with her thoughts for a while. Could it be that there are other things that need to be done by himself?

"Because you are Frederick Felix Leon, the iron and blood leader is now Frederick, and will be Frederick in the future, and you are also Frederick, so...do you know why?"

"Uh...you mean..."

"That's what you think, so...you have to get in touch with at least a little knowledge about the outside world now, but...that day is still early, so you don't need to have any psychological burden."

Putting the last bit of food on the plate into his mouth, Hu Teng took out a paper towel and wiped his mouth. Leaning comfortably on the soft backrest, Hu Teng just looked at Leon who was gradually falling into shock.

"But I think... I don't seem to be suitable, right? Let me lead everyone like Frederick... Besides, aren't you here?"

Jian Niang doesn't grow up with the passage of time like herself, at least... In the ten years of living in Leon, everyone's appearance basically hasn't changed, the most change is the change of dressing style.

And... if you lead yourself, what can you do?Bring everyone together to fight the sirens?

"There is no right or wrong, no one is born to be a leader, and no one is born to master these things. As for what you need to do, we will teach you in the future, so...don't belittle yourself, Leon, you are everyone Good people."

Smiling at Leon again, Huteng packed up her own plate and left here. She still has other things to do. Since there are guests coming...the garbage in the surrounding sea area still needs to be cleaned up.

At least... Leon must not be put in danger.

"You have to treat me well in the future~ Lord Frederick~"

Seeing that Huteng was gone, Peter got up and followed her footsteps, but before leaving, Peter said to Leon jokingly.

"Tch~ what... I still treat you well..."

Seeing Peter's smile, Prince Eugen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but now she needs to appease little Leon beside her.

"Don't worry, although they said so, it will take at least a few years for this to be possible~ Besides, everyone will be here with you, so... Leon, you don't have to There is such a huge psychological burden.”

Stretching out her hand to caress the back of Leon's hand, Prince Eugen whispered to him, but she was somewhat puzzled, why Frederick would have such an idea now...

Could it be that Frederick has some special plan and needs to go out for a long time, so he came up with this idea...

"Well, I know."

Smiling at Prince Eugen, Leon lowered his head and began to eat silently again.

To be honest, what Huten said before had a great influence on him. Originally, Leon just wanted to be a carefree person, go out for a walk when he was free, and try his best to help everyone when he needed him, but now ...and became an heir again...

I always feel that the burden on my body has suddenly become heavier... In this way, can I still go out?

Jagged Sailing: Chapter 19 There are so many temptations outside, Leon, you can't hold it

After lunch, Leon didn't choose to go back with Prince Eugen. He wanted to walk around the base to relax. Prince Eugen thought he was preoccupied by what Huten said before, so he didn't stop him .

However, Prince Eugen still chose to go back to Leon's room. She wanted to take a peaceful nap there. In the space full of Leon's scent, Prince Eugen felt that he slept the most peacefully.

"Ugh…"

Looking at the blue sky, Leon couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The originally comfortable days suddenly put a shackle on himself. Although the final reward looked very tempting, but...he felt it was completely unnecessary.

Somewhat boringly kicking the small stones on the side of the road, Leon walked forward while kicking. He liked this kind of game very much when he was a child, such as not letting the small stones touch other obstacles, or letting the small stones along One line movement, which he sometimes enjoys playing until now.

"Leon? Why are you here?"

Leon, who lowered his head and kicked the pebbles, heard a nice voice. Looking up, Leon realized that he had come outside a small gazebo, and the person talking to him... was sitting in the gazebo Looking at his Mainz curiously.

"Huh? Why are you here in Mainz..."

"What do you mean I'm here too? I'm drinking coffee here, but you, why have you walked over with your head down all the time? What's on your mind?"

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Mainz walked up to Leon with some worry, watching his pebbles being stepped on the soles of his feet by the high heels worn by Mainz, Leon could only end in failure. game.

"I just finished eating, and I wanted to walk around to eliminate food, but I didn't expect to end up here. I don't know if it's because of fate... Hahaha..."

Naturally, it was impossible for Leon to let Mainz know the little game he was playing, so he smiled awkwardly, and then Leon followed Mainz to the small pavilion.

"Fate? Maybe, but since you just finished lunch, come and have a drink with me~"

Pulling Leon to sit beside him, Mainz took out an exquisite coffee cup from his ship's space, picked up the coffee pot on the stone table, and Mainz slowly poured fragrant coffee into the cup. coffee.

"Um...can I put some sugar cubes in my coffee?"

"No~ Leon, this kind of behavior is not allowed~ Doing this is a blasphemy against coffee. This is the coffee I ground with my own hands. Come and taste it."

Smiling at Leon, Mainz stopped pouring coffee by herself. This kind of conversation has not happened before, but she believes that Leon will like the coffee she ground herself one day.

"Okay, okay, I'll just drink it..."

Looking at the thick color in the cup, Leon swallowed subconsciously. It's not that he doesn't like to drink it, but that the coffee without adding anything is really too bitter for him. Whether it was before or now, he appreciates it. Not this kind of taste.

He decided that if he really became the person in charge of Iron Blood in the future, his first task would be to ask Mainz to bring him a cup of coffee with sugar cubes and milk.

"How? How do you feel?"

Looking at Leon who raised his neck and drank coffee slowly, Mainz looked at him with his hands on his head in anticipation. She liked to use this movement to watch Leon do everything.

"It feels...it's okay...it's just too bitter..."

Putting the cup on the table, Leon had an indescribable expression on his face, this bitter feeling...he really couldn't digest it.

"Okay, okay~ Actually, it's not that hard. People who are almost adults, how can they not even bear this bit of hardship?"

Smiling a little happily, Mainz moved his butt slightly, and raised his legs with some ease, Mainz kept this posture and looked at Leon.

"What's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me like this?"

Leon was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Mainz, turned around and looked at Mainz with the same posture, Leon asked curiously.

"It's nothing~ Can't I see you?"

Today, Mainz is still wearing her military uniform, her beautiful legs under the short skirt are wearing white knee socks, and her black-edged red-soled high-heeled shoes are shaking casually. It can be seen that Mainz should be in a good mood now.

"Of course it's fine, but this posture is really uncomfortable. Forget it, it's up to you."

Seeing that Mainz didn't restrain himself but stared at him more carefully, Leon finally gave up the idea of ​​staring at Mainz because he couldn't hold on anymore.

No way, Leon feels that he has no resistance to people with silver hair or white hair. He will blush after just looking at it for a while. This has been practiced on Elbe before. No matter how funny Elbe is usually, Leon After watching Elbe for a long time, I still feel shy.

"Really~ Speaking of which, you seemed to be thinking about something before, did you encounter any problems?"

Mainz could see what Leon was thinking at a glance. In fact, she would feel shy looking at Leon now, but...she hid this shyness very well, and no one has discovered it so far.

"Actually, it's not a problem at all~ It was when we had lunch before..."

Leon, who was a little bored, just lay on the table and talked about the previous things to Mainz, including the fact that he wanted to go out. Now Mainz looks like an intimate big sister, this kind of It made Leon feel very comfortable.

"It turns out that this is the case..."

Listening to Leon's words, Mainz felt a little surprised in her heart. She was surprised not because of other things, but because... Leon actually showed a strong yearning for the outside world just now.

"But it's good, at least Frederick is willing to let me go out for a walk. Although it's just a simple reception of guests, it also allows me to leave the sea and go to other places."

Leon, who spoke his mind, felt a little relaxed, and stretched comfortably, and Leon looked at Mainz with some joy.

"Yeah... It's a good thing to be able to go out, but..."

"But what's wrong?"

Leon looked at Mainz curiously, he felt...something was wrong with Mainz's expression.

"No, nothing."

Seeing Leon looking at him worriedly, Mainz shook his head lightly, although he said it was a good thing, but...

There are so many temptations outside... If Leon went out once... would he still be willing to stay here?

Jagged Sailing: Chapter 20 Big idiot!

"Speaking of which, Mainz, have you dealt with people from Sakura before?"

"The people from Sakura... I've seen it a few times, but I don't know if the people who came this time are the ones I've seen before."

The beautiful brows were tightly frowned, and while drinking coffee, Mainz carefully recalled the ship girl of Shige Sakura in his image. Although there were only a few faces, Mainz still had a deep impression of several people .

"Then can you tell me about it? Maybe I will see it this time, so that I can be fully prepared."

Seeing that Mainz was thinking, Leon didn't rush to ask, and kept his posture lying on the table, Leon waited expectantly for Mainz's answer.

"I remember... there was a ship girl named Atago. I carried out a mission with her at the time, but... that person didn't look like a serious person. She liked to make jokes, but her sister was quite What makes people care, it seems to be called Gao..."

"Kaohsiung?"

"Yes, her name is Kaohsiung. She seems to be a very serious person... Wait, how do you know her name is Kaohsiung!?"

Mainz looked at Leon with some doubts. She hadn't realized just now, how did Leon know the other party's name! ?

"Ah... this... this... this is what Huten told me before..."

Mainz's scrutiny made Leon instantly realize that he was talking too much, and sat up straight in embarrassment. Leon touched the tip of his nose guiltily.

"Since Hutten has told you, you still come to ask me...that's all I know. As for the rest...I haven't seen them. Maybe Hutten has more detailed information."
