In fact, the current situation of Befa has many similarities with the Federation’s Salamis-class cruiser that Kong has visited, so it is not unknown whether the Federation’s cruiser tactics can be reproduced in the world of Star Dome Railway.

“Such a powerful ship, Sora, you’re not even satisfied with it?”

Speaking of shock, Eula was most shocked by the figure of Befa. She had never seen such a magnificent steel ship – even if Befa was “just” a light cruiser.

“I just hope that Belfa can continue to improve. Of course I am satisfied. After all, even if we have established a good relationship with the people here, warships cannot be sold to us casually. Belfa can help us with landing operations, and there is no need for the train to stop in a dangerous place to release us.”

Sora said sternly, “Although the train itself is protected by the power of the pioneers, it is not fully armed after all. We now have to consider operating in an environment where the train cannot easily approach… I will find a way to modify the weapons later, let’s take a look at the situation inside the ship first.”

The original bolt-type doors and waterproof designs have all been replaced by more advanced airtight doors. There is also a disinfection corridor behind the pressure relief chamber with quite complete equipment.

Touching the wall, Kong soon realized that the main metal that made up the Belfa’s hull had also been replaced with a more high-temperature and radiation-proof alloy, and his mood became even happier.

It was really thoughtful of Party A to strengthen Befa… It looked like it had figured out that if it wanted Sora to help it do more testing, it had to prioritize ensuring his safety.

But after entering the captain’s room in the bridge, a sense of royal style and age once again hits you.

“…You still have this table?”

“Yes, I have kept all the equipment that the master is used to using when he presides over the parade.”

Befa bowed slightly, secretly delighted by Kong’s eyes full of nostalgia.

The golden-orange ceiling lights, the British solid wood furniture, and one of the few luxurious wooden floors on the entire ship all highlight the uniqueness and importance of this area.

This used to be where Sora worked and slept. Every ship girl would carefully design a captain’s room for Sora in the not-so-spacious activity space on the ship, hoping that one day Sora would designate them as the flagship or even invite them to sleep with him… This has become a tradition in the port area.

For a long time, making love with the commander on one’s own ship has been the most popular entertainment for the ship girls, and Belfa is no exception.

Even after all these years since Sora’s departure, the girls still haven’t abolished the captain’s room out of nostalgia or some kind of naivety… Even though they have no use for it, they will occasionally board the hull of a colleague when visiting, go to the captain’s room they have kept, admire the room that was once used to cook the commander, judge the unique aesthetic of that ship girl, and have a cup of bitter tea… It sounds a lot like old sailors bragging about their bravery in a bar by the sea.

“… With so many things laid out… is there any problem with the structural strength?” Kong was surprised, but he did not turn around to face Befa, whose eyes were already filled with tears.

“The airtightness and additional armor of the captain’s room are of the highest level. Please don’t worry.”

“That’s good.”

“Wow… the furniture here looks more expensive than Diluc’s…”

Paimon, the money-grubber, started knocking here and there and expressing his feelings, but he missed the moment when Sora was at his most vulnerable.

“The space is spacious, and the captain’s cabin and the first mate’s room are also luxurious… If something unexpected happens and we can’t get back to the train for the time being, it would be nice to regroup on the Belfa’s hull. Hmm? What is this?”

Eula didn’t care much about the layout of the room. She immediately noticed the photos and medals on the shelves.

“That’s a photo of our maids, all the royal family members and the commander, and this is my platinum service medal.”

Befa introduced her sisters politely.

“The elder sister of the Edinburgh class, my dear sister, and the Dido class, and the Newcastle seniors—”

“Is the man above Sora?”

“Yes, it was the commander before we left the port.”

Looking at the “traveler” in the photo who looked shaky and dressed in a dark blue admiral’s uniform, Eula picked up the photo frame and compared it with Sora’s profile for a long time. Apart from the almost identical plain and sometimes worrying eyes, it was impossible to tell from their appearance that they were the same person.

50. The rich woman A went up!

After reminiscing enough about the past, Sora began to check Belfa’s engine room, turret and other facilities, and confirmed that her energy supply system had been completely replaced by a new system.

The antimatter engine gives Befa the ability to jump. Although she cannot compete with the train in terms of distance, she can still find the relative coordinates of the Black Tower Space Station under the guidance of the navigator and jump back to a safe place in a way that Sora can understand, rather than relying on the “destiny energy” of the train that cannot be perfectly operated to anchor an area. This is of great significance.

This means that even if the train has an irreparable failure, Befa can still take the train set away… As for this backup plan, Kong hopes that the day will never come when it will be used.

When she arrived at the deck, Eula was still immersed in her fantasy about Sora’s past. By asking Befa indirectly, she confirmed that the experience Sora revealed to her was not exaggerated or concealed at all.

My mood suddenly became good again.

Er and Beifa analyzed and recalled Kong together, and their relationship was heating up rapidly. The tension from last night seemed to have been thrown into the trash by the two of them.

Since she couldn’t destroy the enemy, she had to try to win them over. Unfortunately, she was slower than Holhaiya in realizing this.

But accepting Belfa doesn’t mean that Eula will accept other women——

“Mr. Kong! Your delivery!”

“We’ll be coming down right now!”

Seeing the pink-haired stationmaster carrying lots of things under the ship, with a freight robot waiting behind him, Eula’s lowly radar sounded the alarm again, like a Geiger counter squeaking.

It stands to reason that as the stationmaster, she doesn’t need to make a trip in person to deliver the things, but whether it was because she wanted to meet more friends, get closer to the train crew, or whether she came here specifically to get something empty, she deliberately wasted her precious rest time.

Without having to walk down through the docking channel, three “immortals” with strong bodies and a “floating spirit” jumped down from the six-meter-high deck of the Belfa and landed in front of Ester.

The moment she saw Befa, Ester was also stunned for a moment, but the other party’s posture of being one step behind him with the focus on the air, coupled with the more sophisticated maid skirt and peculiar metal gauntlets, immediately made Ester draw a clear line between her and the “hobby” of some old guys in the family… Her demeanor and appearance were not comparable to those of “mass-produced” women.

“Hello, Stationmaster Ester, the commander has already introduced you to me in advance.” Seeing that the other party involuntarily moved his eyes to his chest, Befa took the initiative to speak to break the awkwardness.

“Oh, sorry, but I don’t know your name yet.”

“Just call me Befa.”

“…There seems to be a package for Miss Befa in here? Although Hol Haiya helped place the order…and these, I helped her get the best small stargazing equipment on Azure Star.”

Esta carefully handed the heaviest set of astronomical equipment to Sora, seeming to treasure the equipment very much.

Apart from astronomical equipment, the rich woman in front of him has never shown any extra interest in any product, almost making it clear that she and Holhaiya have the same hobby.

“…I’m just using this as an excuse to deliver the goods. I have something else to discuss with you.”

But just like the label Eula had given Esta, as expected, she took advantage of the physical contact with Kong to wink at him, indicating that he had something else to do.

“Okay, let’s go back first.”

Dan Heng, who had just come out of the residential area after finishing organizing the think tank, saw Kong and four “girls” coming to the observation car. They sat together in a circle and drank tea. The scene was even more harmonious than when they had breakfast before.

In his heart, he mourned for March Seven’s ignorant emotions while gently closing the door, preparing to pack up his stall and go back to his room to read for a while – at least he couldn’t walk through the courtyard carelessly.

At this time, Lao Yang had just counted the inventory and came from the same direction, intending to rest in the viewing area.

But after nodding to each other with Danheng, Walter pushed open the door for only a few seconds, and then silently retreated in the same movement as Danheng, which was a highly synchronized move.

After turning around, he looked at Dan Heng, who also had a blank expression on his face. He had obviously experienced that kind of scene before. In order to ease the embarrassment, he pushed up his glasses and said, “…Captain Kong is still as popular with women as ever.”

“…Is this how it was when I first met you?”

Although one shouldn’t judge a person by his appearance, Dan Heng always felt that Kong’s mental age was a little younger than Lao Yang’s. But according to Lao Yang, Kong was still his senior.

“There were so many Valkyries on the ship at that time… Oh, forget it. I shouldn’t have talked about him behind his back. He is still a man of principle…”

……

Of course, Lao Yang and Dan Heng’s “peek” of just a few seconds did not escape Kong’s perception.

He was helpless. Even if he wanted to have a good chat with his brothers, or go out for a barbecue and a drink, it was just a luxury when the seats around him were occupied by girls all day long.

Fortunately, the news that Esta brought was all good news. In addition to the clothes that were expedited for Eula and Befa, which arrived on the same day, all the potions that the young stationmaster took away were reserved in just one morning. In addition, her personal number was almost blown up by her relatives, and the official number of the space station was frantically bombarded by the Development Department.

“They are so enthusiastic after just a simple look at the product information and some trial reports… What can I say… Should I say they are very forward-looking and have a good eye for investment? Or are they too thirsty for power…”

Esta knew that Kong’s product would definitely sell well, but she had just shipped a batch of goods. So far, it was estimated that only the head of the development department closest to the Black Tower Space Station had used the potion. She didn’t know how the P47-level personnel helped spread the news. All her relatives came to inquire about the potion, and even higher-level officials came to inquire about it.

Fortunately, the partners she found and Black Tower helped to withstand the pressure, otherwise the person calling Ester now would not be a relative, but her mother.

“It may be because our product is under the banner of Black Tower. Everyone knows that Black Tower is aloof, but they also trust her scientific research level… The most important thing is that this is a very small way for the vice president to get promoted. By the way, have you told the people in the company about my membership of the club?”

“Since he is the actual developer, it is impossible for him not to make it clear.”

“After that, you have to help me push back those guys who come to test me – okay?”

“Hehehe!! Of course no problem, at worst I can just turn off the terminal and the bracelet~ But the celebration day is only four days away, Mr. Kong will have to help me push back those annoying ‘butterfly waves’, okay?”

Esta looked around and found that Belfa and Eula didn’t seem to have any objections, so she moved a little closer to Sora.

51. Esta’s Thousand Layers of Routine

When Esta approached Kong, she lowered her head slightly and looked at him sideways.

The control of her position and angle makes her look like a little bird to Kong even though she is taller than him, and her cuteness is magnified exponentially.

This little trick to please others was specially trained by her mother – and it was also the first time she used it on the opposite sex.

A wonderful excitement flowed around the rich woman. She was full of anticipation when she thought that she finally had the opportunity to put into practice all the tricks she had learned for girls to deal with boys.

As the saying goes, “one is afraid of comparing goods”, the “young talents” in Heping Company are all discarded goods in front of Kong’s ability and appearance. For the first time in her life, she spontaneously wanted to get close to a person of the opposite sex who at least looked like a peer. Out of curiosity, interest binding, and a vague affection, with a combination of emotions and purposes, she decided to officially start to conquer Kong and cultivate his affection for her.

Although she knew that Kong had many female companions and many close female friends, Esther had a firm grasp of a key piece of information, that is, they were all Kong’s past tense, and what she wanted to fight for was Kong’s current position.

If she succeeds, she won’t have to worry about the pressure from her family for a long time and will be treated as a true lover.

Even if they are bound to separate in the future, it doesn’t matter – Esther has seen the world and has very modern ideas. She is not the kind of person who doesn’t know how to let go. What matters is that the establishment of this relationship can bring her pleasure, excitement, and tangible benefits, so she can take it one step at a time.

As for if you find yourself unable to let go of Kong after being together for a long time… that’s something you need to consider in the future. Even stars decay, so how can you be sure of human emotions?

The cleverness of the little rich woman lies in that, just as Sora predicted, she turned all her advantages into help in the love field, supporting Sora’s career and caring for him with her looks and youth – but she also made some mistakes that young girls take for granted…

I always feel like I am special and can let go easily.

Besides, no matter how scheming he was, his age was still there, and she had no idea how capable the women around Sora were.

…Sora is now in a strange sage time.

This body will definitely be extraordinary after it adapts to the power of the star core, but people will become numb if they do that kind of thing too much, and their perception and reaction speed will decrease. Even with Ah Ha’s BUFF to strengthen his beautiful perception of the opposite sex, he is still in the process of CD.

Two days and three people, a Genshin, a Quetzalcoatl and a boat. They are not ordinary people, and it is a double test of their mental and physical strength.

So when Esta came close to him, Sora’s reaction wasn’t “Oh, she’s so cute, she smells so good.”

Instead, I was thinking… this girl is trying too hard not to be disgusted by the accountability personnel sent by the company. Should I tell Heita indirectly about it, and the two of them can play the bad guy together to scare the people from the company back?

It’s not that Heita doesn’t care about Ester, but their relationship is very subtle, as if she is Ester’s irresponsible stepmother – she gives her everything she needs and also practices happy education, but she is always nowhere to be found at critical moments such as parent-child meetings and parent-teacher meetings.

Given the Black Tower’s actual age, this illusion may not be much of an illusion.

“I’ll have to choose a handsome outfit for Mr. Kong when the time comes! I prefer this one – you see, this suit of mine was custom-made by them!”

Esta was still trying hard to show off the beauty of her figure, and she also blatantly showed her mobile phone, which should be considered a “private item”, to Sora, and even exposed her personal clothing purchase history in her shopping cart without any hesitation.

My mother once said that if you want to pursue a boy, you should first try to kidnap him materially. If you meet someone who cannot be kidnapped materially, you have to be shameless. The status of a young lady is nothing but a cloud. Instead, you have to take the initiative to break the “arrogance” of this status to create a contrast and make the other person feel that he is being treated with care.

The key is that when it comes to the person you love, you will remove the two layers of protection of your identity and be devoted to her, and then when you enter the working state, you will quickly switch back to your previous authoritative and majestic posture, and use the energy in your hands to draw the respect of others – most men will be touched by this contrast.

“…Ah, it’s not within the delivery range… Is it because of the Legion that the route is blocked…Even the high-end store I buy from most often, it probably won’t be able to send someone to measure your data in time. By the time we get here, the celebration will be over. Sorry, I can only inconvenience Mr. Kong. Let’s invite a tailor from the high-end store from the Azure Star!”
