The Royal Navy's dining room was located on the main island. It was shaped like a small palace with unique medieval carvings. The atmosphere around me felt very heavy and awkward because the Eagle Union military uniforms were striking in an elegant place like this.
With a small blink of my eyelids, I ordered Sofia to pay attention to the conditions around us. My movements were very limited in this place and any information would be very useful for a backup plan.
"USS Seawolf, we have arrived at small version of Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is waiting with her guards," said Belfast who entered her Perfect Maid Mode.
Belfast opened the entrance to small Buckingham Palace and a long red carpet was waiting for my arrival. A row of Royal Navy Maids were waiting for my arrival and bowed as if welcoming a special guest.
"Welcome to small Buckingham Palace, USS Seawolf!" the row of Maids exclaimed.
Sofia and I looked at each other. Our blinks and glares were directed at one of the Royal Navy Maid uniforms. They planted a voice recorder covered in cloth and left a strange trace on the proportions of their shoulders.
"Stupid!" Sofia's criticism moved naturally in her sharp gaze and was read by me.
Without verbal communication, Sofia's gaze had its meaning that belittled the Royal Navy Maid.
"Is this what you do to welcome someone?" I said to find out information about the Royal Navy Maid's habits.
"Yes, USS Seawolf. We provide special services only for special guests. Someone who can meet Queen Elizabeth in person is an important figure who deserves full service from the Royal Navy Maid Unit," Belfast replied.
"Of course, you have the right to choose one of them as a companion to pass the long night at small Buckingham Palace," Belfast continued with a sweet smile on her face.
"I understand," I replied briefly.
Doing something like that in a beehive? I'm not that stupid to do it.
"Hmm... Why only one?" I asked.
Technically, doing it with two other Maids is an ideal condition for cooperating with the Royal Navy nation. As a healthy young man, that condition is much more tempting than choosing one of them and the Honey Trap tactic will work effectively.
"A-Aaah, that's right. If USS Seawolf is not satisfied enough, we can do it alternately. We only provide one Maid because the Maid on duty at small Buckingham Palace has a tight schedule to keep Queen Elizabeth's residence clean and tidy."
Ah, so that's it. A network of spies disguised as Maid to be exact.
Queen Elizabeth, huh?
In terms of lore and the Azur Lane game story, HMS Queen Elizabeth is the most influential figure in the Royal Navy nation. The words that come out of her mouth are like absolute orders that must be carried out by Royal Navy ships. Putting aside her overly spoiled and pushy character, the fact is... HMS Queen Elizabeth is an old ship that has a hull design from the super-dreadnought era and is the main command of the Royal Navy's ship movements. So Queen Elizabeth's words are orders that must be carried out by the Royal Navy nation.
A little fact that is quite surprising, isn't it?
Yes, I understand that fact as a natural thing because the body shape of HMS Queen Elizabeth in the Azur Lane world is Loli Legal!
Uwaaaaah!!
Looooli!
Aaaarrrrgh!
Calm down me!
Yes, I have to stay calm to face this terrible reality.
A Loli who has a spoiled and pushy nature like that will be very troublesome!
"Belfast, tell me how to act formally before meeting Queen Elizabeth?" I asked Belfast.
"USS Seawolf, a man should be able to behave according to the circumstances of the place. Such things do not need to be taught but rather ingrained in the body and mind to behave politely."
What kind of poetic answer is that?
Does that mean... I have to adapt to the environment when meeting Queen Elizabeth.
"Take it easy, USS Seawolf. Queen Elizabeth is a leader who is easy to understand if they have the same goal," said Belfast.
"..."
"..."
Sofia and I fell silent after hearing that declaration. Belfast's words that gave instructions and threats were the flag of war that had been raised by the Royal Navy nation. The meaning behind the words was the Royal Navy nation's preparation to utilize Eagle Union's secret technology as part of their technology. There was only one small step that had to be taken, which was to ensure that my goals were in line with the Royal Navy's goals.
"That would be very helpful to me," I replied with a small smile.
"Then, I need a record of the schedule of the Maid on duty at small Buckingham Palace so that I can arrive on time to receive their special service," I continued.
"Is that all?" Belfast replied with a surprised expression.
"Yes, that's all. What else?" I replied with a question.
Another small goal of mine has increased...
The reason why I said that sentence was to take advantage of the layout of small Buckingham Palace as a hunting ground for sensitive information through the Royal Navy's spy network. Planting recording devices and hidden cameras would be my little hobby to monitor the Royal Navy's movements from behind the scenes.
Ahem! It doesn't mean I want to peek!
This is just an espionage activity by taking advantage of the carelessness of the Royal Navy Maids spread throughout small Buckingham Palace.
"Humm.. What's that?" My gaze shifted to the mysterious figure standing in the corner of the room.
There were two small children wearing maid clothes standing in the corner of the room.
"Why are there small children in a place like this? Moreover-"
"Is that your child?"
My question caused a small silence that spread widely.
"USS Seawolf, they are Novice Maids who are undergoing training as Royal Navy Maids. Regarding their similar appearance to me, it can be said that she is my cute little sister named Little Bel."
"Then.. Beside her is Little Chesire who is currently learning how to welcome special guests for an important event like this," said Belfast who introduced the two little children.
Little Bel and Little Chesire walked towards me and saluted me as the Royal Navy Maid introduced etiquette.
"G-Good evening, Mr. Seawolf.." they both said.
"Mr. Seawolf, huh?" I muttered after hearing their greetings. Even for a Novice Maid, my identity as the USS Seawolf had been spread to them. As expected from the Royal Navy's spy network.
That means the Royal Navy has made very thorough preparations to drag me into the Royal Navy nation.
"Good evening... Little Bel.. Little Chesire" I said to return their greetings.
"Aren't you working too late for little children?" I continued.
Little Bel and Little Chesire rose from their respectful positions and looked at me with wide, innocent smiles.
"Kuuuhu!" Sofia accepted the sweet attack and held her chest.
"Can I kidnap her?" Without a word coming out of her mouth, Sofia's gaze that watched them and turned towards me had explained everything.
With my cynical gaze that denied the bad idea, I refused Sofia's request for the sake of the future of the two little Maids.
I mean, in terms of appearance and physical condition. These two Maids are child versions of the HMS Belfast and HMS Chesire. Their status is a subclass ship of the ship object that has been created.
So, as a form of respect for Belfast and Chesire. I tried to restrain myself from physical contact that might ruin their future.
Y-Yes... Hold on to me!
Age is just a number!
Prison is just room!
But pride is very expensive!
"USS Seawolf, it's time for us to head to Queen Elizabeth's throne room," said Belfast who reminded me of my purpose in coming to this place.
I almost forgot about that one because of the cuteness of these lolis.
Before I go... And as a wise young man. I gave Little Bel and Little Chesire a gentle caress on their hair.
"Hnnngg~"
"Muuunyaa~"
Little Bel and Little Chesire enjoyed the gentle caress by closing their eyes.
Damn!
How can I avoid this cuteness?!
With a heavy heart and full of regret, I was forced to release my stress with this cuteness.
The Loli parameter has peaked and my pent-up desire filled with bad ideas has risen!
I let go of the gentle caress and rushed towards Queen Elizabeth's throne with Belfast.
With a wink, I told Sofia about the secret plan to ward off the Royal Navy's unreasonable demands.
Whether it's a ship or a human, greed will always exist.
And I will face it after passing through the throne door.
"USS Seawolf, please wait here for a moment. I will inform Queen Elizabeth of Seawolf's arrival," Belfast said as she left me.
"..." I just kept quiet and observed the conditions around me.
"The game has begun, Master?" Sofia asked.
"Yes, Sofia. Let's see how cunning the Royal Navy is in taking advantage of the situation," I replied with a sneer.
