Belfast and Kong walked into the observation car carrying four large plates of breakfast.

“Morning, Danheng March!”

“morning.”

“morning!!”

Seeing that the person coming was Kong, Sanyue stood up suddenly. She was first attracted by the plate in Kong’s hand, and then looked over Kong’s shoulder and saw the flowing white hair.

“Wow, what a beautiful sister!!”

Sanyue was almost mesmerized by Beifa’s beauty, but she quickly reacted: “Wait, when did this sister get on the train? Could it be that…”

She remembered the agreement between Sora and Himeko——

“Is it the companion you mentioned…who might be summoned?”

“Yes, I was just about to introduce you to each other. This is Belfast, my old comrade.”

Sora stepped aside.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. I am Belfast, a maid. I hope I can provide comfortable service to everyone on the train.”

Befa also placed breakfast on the table in front of March.

“Old comrade? Like Uncle Yang?”

The steaming Yorkshire pudding made March gurgle in his throat, but more of his eyes were focused on the other’s chest.

Don’t look at the challenge there for today, March achieved a good result of zero minutes and zero seconds.

“Well, this time the main… commander called me to help. In addition to hoping that I can provide better logistical support for you, he also considered increasing combat effectiveness…” Befa bowed to March and Danheng.

“The commander said that he was afraid that recruiting me would upset everyone, so he came here to apologize to everyone as soon as possible.”

“Haven’t I already said hello to Sister Jizi? How come you’re overstepping your authority~”

“Gululu…”

Although Befa’s demeanor was so perfect and fascinating, March’s belly forced her to turn her eyes to the delicious food on the table.

“Thank you, Ms. Belfast—March?”

Compared to March, Danheng’s gaze was much more polite, so much so that it was hard to tell whether he was not interested in the opposite sex or was just too well-educated.

Kong had discovered before that some of Dan Heng’s secrets made him avoid many people and many things. He even saw through at a glance that Beifa was Kong’s “subordinate”… and he also saw that Kong was having an affair with her –

In order to express that he had no improper thoughts about Befa, he thanked her and began to enjoy the rich English breakfast without even raising his head.

“Ah, thank you for the cooking, Sister Belfast.”

A big bite of bacon made March’s expression melt instantly. The happiness brought by the sinful high-oil and high-salt food was far greater than before. It might also be related to Belfa’s exquisite control of the heat. In short, the head maid left everyone with the impression that her cooking skills were quite high when she appeared for the first time.

As the atmosphere continued to improve, with her hair still a little warm from a shower, Ji Zi appeared in the observation car.

“Sora, have you brought the people here? Hello, Ms. Belfast, I’m Himeko, the train’s pilot.”

Jizi, who came from behind, immediately noticed the shining white and reached out to her:

“I’ve read the text message that Kong wrote to me. We are in need of a professional logistics staff. He said that you are good at negotiating prices for procurement and other business matters.”

“Mr. Navigator, Befa will definitely not let you down.” But Befa still chose to bow to Ji Zi’s outstretched hand, keeping himself very humble.

“Ah, there’s no need to be so…formal.”

Among the well-organized crew members, Befa’s demeanor surprised Ji Zi, who was accustomed to a relatively casual life.

“You don’t need to be too polite on the bus. We, the Nameless Guests, don’t have any class. At most, everyone follows the rules set by Pam. Please get along with everyone according to your own preferences. You will get tired of being so formal every day… Once you get on the bus, you are a family.”

48. Go explore, young man!

In the end, Befa still shook hands with Jizi, and said according to Jizi’s joke that she would be terrified to see such a perfect person like her bowing to her with full respect.

Unlike Eula and Haiya who gained the trust of March and Danheng from the very beginning, Befa needs a longer time to prove his sincerity and ability to integrate into the train.

Kong has considered it more comprehensively…A major crisis that can quickly close the distance between crew members may not be encountered again in the short term. Lao Yang can handle the logistics work alone. After all, there are not many people who need to be supported – so cooking is indeed a very good entry point.

Whether in the army or in a brigade, the chef who accompanies a long journey is the one in the team who cannot be offended the most and is often the one with the best popularity.

Only those who have conducted deep space exploration know how much a hot meal can boost morale in the cold space. The “Befa Integration Plan” in the space has achieved great success in the trial stage.

After Pam had eaten Belfa’s cuisine, her eyes lit up at first, but then she seemed a little frustrated – she must have realized the gap between her cooking skills and Belfa’s.

“Jizi, how about we leave the dining car section to the Belfast crew?”

It suggested: “I’ll be in charge of shopping for the ingredients. Let her get used to the working environment in the car first.”

“Pam, you decide.”

Jizi had no objection to this and picked up the coffee that Beifa prepared for her:

“Kona coffee… It tastes incredible. I can actually taste the aroma of wine.”

“Unfortunately, Kona coffee beans are imported through the fleet channel, and I can’t find a substitute here for the time being.”

Befa held the plate with some regret. Although Ji Zi repeatedly invited her to sit down and dine with her, she was more accustomed to standing and admiring the satisfied expression of the person she served when serving drinks.

“What a shame. Sora, is there no way for you to get back?”

“The energy required to break through the barriers between worlds is an astronomical figure each time. The fact that Eula and the others were able to arrive and be qualified to be safely repatriated was the result of negotiations between the Suture System and other cooperative systems. I’m not sure if the system can find a way for me to travel freely between the worlds if I continue to develop it… at least not yet.” Kong told the truth.

“What about Walter’s hometown?” Ji Zi put down the coffee and looked much more serious.

She still remembered her promise to Walter.

“Old Yang is different. The planet he traveled from is inextricably linked to this world. But visitors from other unrelated worlds… all have an end to their journeys. Jizi, although it may be a bit disappointing, I still have to emphasize to you again that once the original energy carried by the crew members I summoned is completely used up, it will be difficult to replenish it. The energy provided by daily tasks is limited in endurance. They may become sick due to weakness and lose their energy. If the situation becomes more serious, they will be forcibly repatriated by the system… In order to save their lives, these are necessary emergency measures.”

Even the distance that the Navigator’s Potion could communicate was limited to the river system. A stable cross-border channel could only be formed if multiple former Party A’s reached an agreement and introduced rules to each other. It was not that Kong looked down on himself, but he was not important enough that any Party A would be willing to risk being invaded or polluted – just to help him visit.

As if to prove that what Sora said was true, Eula and Haiya at the table did not say a word.

As Kong said, they could feel a slight loss of strength. Although it was very slow, the experience of gradually weakening was like a countdown to the journey, making them unconsciously become irritated.

“Yes, the journey can’t go on forever. But until everyone reaches the end, I will do my best to take care of everyone.”

Jizi promised.

“Later, I’ll estimate the travel time the three of them can afford… Don’t be so sad, think about it, even a happy college life only lasts four years – just live every day happily, make money when you should, and see the scenery when you should! Even if we get off the bus, the memory of our travel together will not disappear.” Kong hurried to liven up the atmosphere.

Damn it, it’s not what Kong wants to have an atmosphere of a grand finale before we even set off. If no fighting breaks out, everyone’s energy can last a long time. Why does it feel like we’re about to part ways with each other forever?

“Eula and the others seem to have different opinions from you, Sora.”

Himeko picked up her coffee again and motioned calmly for Sora to look at his female companions.

Sure enough, the girls all understood, but no one could easily accept the fact that they would have to leave Sora in the end… Sora put the cruel reality on the table, fearing that everyone would be overwhelmed by the disappointment after hope, but the atmosphere on the table instantly dropped from happiness to freezing point.

“… Try to practice the path of pioneering… Perhaps the orbits between the stars will open up because of your true love.”

Ji Zi saw that Kong had ruined the girls’ mood, so she had no choice but to comfort them in this way.

“A road that goes out but never returns is not pioneering. A road that goes out and returns, telling people what is on the other side of the world, is complete pioneering.”

But Pam suddenly raised her cute doll-like hand in a mature manner and patted Sora’s knee:

“Try your best, flight attendant. As long as you can get the coordinates of their hometown, we can try to warp there and pick them up to play.”

…As if she realized that her job of comforting Sora had been taken away, Paimon, who was eating like crazy, put down the bacon and stretched out her greasy little hands to rub Sora’s golden hair—

……

Pam and Himeko’s consolation cheered up Sora and the girls.

Of course, Paimon’s clever way of comforting her also made Sora retaliate by smearing her face with pancake syrup. As Pam angrily called for not wasting food, the scene became more chaotic.

No matter what… life must go on. At least now the addition of Befa has improved the overall quality of life and security level of the train. From the perspective of extending everyone’s journey, it is also something to be happy about.

In order to understand what changes have occurred in Belfa’s ship equipment after her level cap has reached level 130, Kong specifically went to Estelle to apply for a space station berth to release Belfa’s complete ship.

According to the sunlight cycle of the Azure Star, at 10 o’clock in the morning, a giant steel beast that only existed in documentaries and ancient legends appeared silently behind the platform of the support module.

It floats quietly on the ripples of the damper, its slightly rusted hull looking as if it is still on the Thames, reminiscing about the former glory of the empire.

But some things are different.

The stern section of Belfast is filled with a complete set of attitude control nozzles.

Now, she seemed to have the power to chase the stars.

49. The memories of the dead suddenly began to attack me

“so beautiful.”

The staff members stopped in front of Belfast one after another – admiring her physical hull rather than her person.

“Is this a design from before the Dreadnought era? It has a weathered and salt-corroded effect. The person who bought it must be a super retro rich man.”

“Look at this thick freeboard, this sense of power, my God, it’s so beautiful!”

Although the comments of “irrelevant people” on Belfa were all positive, after the initial excitement, Kong stared at Belfa’s high-tech weapons “disguised” as old-fashioned cannons and fell into deep thought, and then called Eula and Paimon to board the ship to check it out.

As a 10,000-ton large light cruiser, a product of the early arms race, although Belfast has undergone modernization modifications, Kong still has some concerns about whether her hull can support combat outside the atmosphere.

The first is the problem of blind spots in the ship’s firing range. There is no weaponry on the torpedo belt under the belly of the Befa and the firing angle of the main gun is also worrying. This problem cannot be reflected in combat on a flat surface, but as long as free maneuvers are carried out in deep space, all the problems will be exposed.

“Befa, after reaching level 130, did you upgrade your main weapon to a more powerful version? Or can the bow of the ship be cracked to create a super-gravity cannon?”

So empty and whimsical.

“…Master, I’m afraid that Belfa will disappoint you. Even the META-class ships don’t have that function.”

Befa said tactfully: “Although it doesn’t have those exaggerated weapons, all the main guns have been replaced with mind unit drivers, and with the joint fire control system, they are the main guns of the Siren light cruiser of the same level as the ‘Temperance’, and the firepower has been enhanced.”

“That’s not bad.”

After fighting with the Sirens for many years, Kong could only recall the power of their weapons. As the main gun of this class of ships in interstellar wars, it was barely qualified.

“But the layout problem still can’t be solved. It seems we have to come up with a special tactic for you to avoid blind spots.”

“Master, what kind of weapon layout do you think a cruiser that can soar into the sky should have?” Befa was certainly not complaining about Kong’s demands. This was also her first time to come into contact with the field of space navigation, and she hoped to get more opinions from the commander.

“My ideal spaceship is similar to Ji Zi’s railgun… but it is larger in size and capacity, and is equipped with additional shields and anti-high temperature ray plating. It should snipe the enemy at the farthest distance possible, rather than relying on more secondary guns to engage the enemy.”

Sora slowly pushed open the hatch of Befa – or rather, it was Befa who operated to open the airtight door.
