Rome stood beside the Empire, and when Andrea's gaze shifted to her, she scratched her head sheepishly, then put her hands on the Empire's shoulders: "I am Rome, your sister! She is too."
Andrea looked at Rome, then his gaze moved down to Rome's ample bust.
Andrea swallowed hard, then lingered on the Empire's chest for a moment longer.
—How come younger sisters are so well-nourished these days?
“Veneto, are they your sisters?” Andrea murmured.
"Yes."
"Then what's the evidence?"
"..." For some reason, Veneto suddenly felt like he had been shot in the knee.
The electric fan has been buzzing in my head, giving me a slight tinnitus, and I'm feeling unwell, so I really can't write anymore. Continuing to write will seriously affect the quality of my work. I'll just post one update today.
By the way, let's make the number of chapters an even number. Actually, I was almost driven crazy when I got stuck on an odd number before.
Chapter 601 Daily Life 1/1
Andrea had barely uttered those words when he suddenly realized what he had said.
She quickly covered her mouth, looking at Veneto with an expression as if she had said something wrong.
Veneto looked at Andrea with a weary expression, his eyes filled with a sense of powerlessness against the cold society. The Romans beside Andrea, upon hearing Andrea's question about evidence, were so frightened they didn't dare breathe, immediately shrinking behind their sister empire as if haunted by some kind of psychological trauma.
Andrea suddenly realized that what he had just said seemed to have been a pretty big blow to Veneto.
Back when she and Veneto were both just ordinary navigators at the naval base, Veneto would always fly into a rage whenever the topic of her physical development came up. Now that Veneto was her husband, if she were still acting like she used to, and she had hurt Veneto like that, wouldn't Veneto have given her a hard time?
I've only just returned to the naval base, and I'm completely unfamiliar with the place. If I get bullied and treated unfairly, how am I supposed to live my life?
The more Andrea thought about it, the more convinced she became; the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became; the more she thought about it, the colder her heart felt.
"Veneto, um, I'm sorry..." So she quickly apologized to Veneto.
"Don't say anything yet." Veneto raised her hand to interrupt Andrea. She sighed with a weary expression, raised her head, and gazed at the blue sky. "Let me have some peace and quiet."
However, today Veneto did not seem to raise the 381 flying torpedo as Andrea remembered, when he heard the topic related to his physical development. Instead, he was surprisingly calm. After an initial silence, Veneto simply quieted down with a tired expression.
While surprised, Andrea couldn't help but look at Veneto with an apologetic expression.
You might not believe it, but Andrea really didn't mean to hurt Veneto. He only asked for evidence because he was simply taken aback.
This is due to the inertia of thinking. The Roman who led Andrea was tall and cheerful, while her sister, the Empire, was curvaceous and quiet. More importantly, both of them had large, round breasts that swayed as they walked. They were obviously a family. Since they had an older sister, their older sister must also be a voluptuous older sister, right?
Therefore, due to the interference of habitual thinking and preconceived notions, Andrea really did not associate the two women from the Roman Empire with the petite Veneto. Even after seeing Veneto come out of the bookstore, Andrea only regarded Veneto as a customer who happened to be browsing the bookstore.
“Actually, this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered this situation,” Veneto muttered to himself.
"Uh... what's going on?"
“I do look a little younger than Rome,” Veneto said earnestly to Andrea. “So, many times in the garrison, people have thought that Rome and I aren’t sisters.”
"Uh... Veneto, actually..."
“It’s okay, I’m not angry.” Veneto shook his head and looked at Andrea. “Actually, what you said earlier was quite right.”
"Huh? Did I say something?"
“I have indeed been searching for the reason why many people don’t see Rome and me as sisters,” Veneto said to Andrea, closing her eyes.
"Uh...why?"
Veneto didn't reply. She turned her head and instantly fixed her gaze on Rome, who was standing next to Andrea.
Rome, being watched by her own sister, instinctively let out a gasp. She quickly shrank back behind the Empire, her whole body trembling involuntarily.
“I…” Veneto said.
“…Hmm?” Andrea looked at Veneto with some curiosity.
Then, with a thud, Veneto knelt on the ground, her small hands trembling as she gripped the stone bricks. Soon, Veneto's hesitant murmurs could be heard.
"I...really...can't produce any evidence."
Veneto's voice was filled with helplessness and confusion about living in a cold and ruthless society.
Andrea was stunned, Caio was stunned, even Rome was stunned.
Everyone present stared blankly at Veneto, who was leaning on the floor, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
“If I were like Caio and you, with somewhat similar looks and style… and a similar bust size with a slightly different smile, that would be fine…” Veneto said, a strange expression creeping onto his face. “But the difference between zero and one is infinitely large…”
"Eh??!"
"Because no matter how much you multiply zero, it can never become one!"
"Eh???"
"Even I have things I can't do. Asking me to produce evidence... Come to think of it, isn't Rome just an outsider who's only using my sister's name as a front?"
"Alas??"
"Speaking of which, we didn't all come from the same construction device. Maybe Rome is actually Lexington's sister..."
"Sister, what are you trying to say?!" Rome, who was hiding behind the empire, couldn't stand it anymore. As she listened to Veneto's increasingly frightening words, her heart was pounding. She swallowed hard and hurriedly stood in front of Veneto.
"Let's get a bloodline test!"
"What the hell?!"
"Where would ship girls make that kind of thing?!" Rome was startled by her older sister's bizarre idea.
Even if you weren't my sister, I would still treat you like my own sister!
“I am your own sister!” Roma shouted to Veneto.
Andrea and Caio both gasped as they looked at Veneto, whose nerves seemed to have snapped.
Although she felt like she was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Andrea felt quite guilty about it, she couldn't help but have these thoughts.
This woman has finally gone mad.
"Caiyo!" Andrea turned around and took Caiyo's hand.
"Huh? What's wrong, sister?"
What is the last strategy in Sun Tzu's Art of War?
"Hmm... is running away the best option?"
"Let's go!" Andrea nodded, then quickly grabbed Caio's hand and ran swiftly towards the office building he remembered.
Andrea didn't even have time to say goodbye to Veneto before he and Caio fled Veneto's bookstore as if their lives depended on it.
The two gradually stopped crying after they could no longer hear Rome and Veneto's commotion or see the bookstore.
“…Phew, we finally escaped.” Andrea wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Sister, why are we running away?"
"Silly girl, she's already married to us. If we don't retreat quickly, what if she notices and makes things difficult for us?" Andrea said to Caio. "Let's get out of here first. We can apologize to Veneto tomorrow after she's calmed down."
“Oh…” Caio thought for a moment, then, “That’s also an option…”
Andrea has always been the type to avoid trouble, and Caio is used to it.
Although I don't know why Miss Veneto suddenly exploded like a powder keg of negative energy...
As Caio thought this, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
She lowered her head and looked at her right hand.
The cotton candy we bought in Rome has been almost eaten up, but the remaining chopsticks have become sticky and are quite uncomfortable to hold.
"I need to find a place to throw it away," Caio muttered, and began looking for a trash can on the ground around him.
"Does anyone need to throw away trash?" Just then, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang in Caio's ears from afar.
Caio and Andrea looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired woman dressed as a maid carrying a large garbage bag walking towards them.
The white-haired maid walked up to Caio, smiled at her, and then looked at the chopsticks in her hand.
"Is this what you're going to throw away? Give it to me." The maid opened the bag in her hand and held it up in front of Caio.
"Ah, thank you, you've been a great help." Caio smiled at the maid and then threw the chopsticks in his hand into the trash bag.
"You're welcome, it's just my job." The maid smiled, her purple eyes lingering on Caio's hands for a moment. "Your hands are still quite sticky, aren't they?"
"It's alright, you can just wash it off when you get home," Caio said with a smile.
"That's too much trouble, let's just take care of it here." After saying that, the white-haired maid put the trash bag on the ground and then let out a long whistle.
Not long after, another white-haired maid, who was noticeably smaller than him, appeared out of nowhere and walked up to Caio with a mineral water bottle in her hand.
"Wash." The new white-haired maid stared coldly at Kayo with her icy blue eyes, opened the mineral water bottle, rinsed the water onto her hands to remove the sugar, then tightened the bottle and left without looking back.
"Thank you very much." The maid with purple eyes smiled at the maid with blue eyes.
The blue-eyed maid didn't say anything, just gave her a cold stare, and then walked towards a secluded spot.
Caio and Andrea looked in the direction the blue-eyed maid had gone, and there they saw a third white-haired maid sitting on a bench, engrossed in eating a bunch of snacks from street vendors, including fried noodles, fried skewers, apple candy, potato pancakes, grilled cold noodles, stir-fries, and ice cream.
"If you want to leave, go that way. The office building is over there," the purple-eyed maid pointed out to Kayo.
"Thank you very much!"
"Then I'm leaving. Is there anything else you want to throw away?"
"No more, no more!"
"Hmm." The purple-eyed maid shrugged her slender shoulders, turned around, and left.
Andrea and Caio watched the maid slowly leave.
“What a generous and considerate maid,” Andrea said.
“Yes.” Kayo nodded. “Sister…”
"what's wrong?"
“It feels like I haven’t been back for years, and I don’t recognize many people at the naval base anymore,” Caio said to Andrea, pointing to the departing maid.
Let me rest for another day today, so I'll only post one update.
Tomorrow, Xiaobai will embark on a new journey to collect new concubines, hmm.
Chapter 602 The Panty Thief (6,000 words)
Andrea looked at Caio, who was supporting the departing maid, and stared at her for a moment before nodding in deep agreement.
Andrea hadn't been back to the naval base for two or three years. Just as Caio said, when they returned, they did feel a sense of things being different.
First of all, the naval base has undergone a complete transformation. What was once a monotonous and boring large courtyard mansion has been expanded into a small city encompassing an amusement park. The land area is now significantly larger. Along the way, Andrea saw no fewer than twenty small shops on both sides of the road, all owned by ship girls from the naval base. The shops range from small to large, from basic to specialized, from arcades and small restaurants to department stores, supermarkets, clothing stores, and even housekeeping centers—it's a city with everything you could need.
Then there are the ship girls. From the time Andrea and Caio entered the naval base until now, all the ship girls she has encountered—from Rome and the Empire to the cunning cat-eared girl who sells clothes, to Veneto who became her marriage ship, to the generous and enthusiastic maid—all these ship girls, whether familiar or unfamiliar to Andrea, are telling her one very obvious thing.
That means the situation at the naval base has changed. In the time Andrea was away, so much has happened at the naval base that the two sisters are now out of touch.
"After the change of admiral, the naval base is no longer the naval base we remember..." Andrea said with some emotion.
—Damn, I'm unexpectedly feeling a little sad, what should I do?
"So, sister, do you prefer the old one or the new one?" Caio asked.
“…” Andrea thought for a moment, “It’s all alright, but this one should be a little more lively.”
Although there was always a subtle feeling that something was missing, Andrea still felt that the naval base was at least changing in a positive direction.
In any case, the current naval base is much, much better than the lifeless, coffin-like naval base that Andrea and the others left behind.
“It’s good to have a lively atmosphere,” Caio said with a smile.
"Hmm," Andrea said noncommittally. She raised her chin and pointed ahead, "Let's go report to the office building first. The direction of the office building should be right, right?"
“Rome just gave us directions, so there shouldn’t be any problems,” Caio nodded.
"Then it's time to find a new admiral." Andrea lifted the luggage in her hands. "Speaking of which, the new admiral is Admiral Lu Yun's sister, right?"
“Yes, Mrs. Lie mentioned it when she contacted us before. The new admiral is Admiral Lu Yun’s sister,” Caio said. “After all, it’s a million times better for the new admiral to be his sister than some other unfamiliar admiral.”
"What kind of person is the new admiral?"
"Judging from how she's with the Prince of Wales, she must be a nice person. Didn't Admiral Lu Yun always say that Little Sister was cute and well-behaved?"
“Hmm…” Andrea made a series of sounds.
