Chapter 231: A Beautiful Fish

Regarding the conversation among the few people of Vajra, Qin Ge naturally didn't know about it; at this moment he was watching Belfast help him tidy the beds on the ship.

"Belfast, why don't you go help others instead? I can completely handle these things myself." Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Master, why are you saying this again?" Belfast said while busy, "I am your exclusive maid, after all, so of course I tidy your side first before helping the other young ladies."

"Everything has its priorities; you, Master, are always number one in my eyes."

"Well, even though you say that, I'm really happy." Qin Ge smiled, turned his head, and looked out at the sea from the cabin window, "By the way, I've unknowingly been in this world for a year already."

Belfast's hand paused while tidying the bed, "Could it be that you're feeling homesick, Master?"

Qin Ge nodded, then shook his head, "Feeling homesick is natural, but I'm not sure now whether my home is in that world or this one."

Because in that world there's no one left who's close to me; I recall telling you that my parents passed away early, and I have no relatives. Even friends are only a few, or rather they're often busy with their own affairs and rarely socialize.

But now in this world I have you all, I have Wan Da Niang and Wan Lao, so sometimes I can't tell whether this place is my home or the original world.

As Qin Ge said that, he fell into thought again; at that moment Belfast set down her work, walked behind him, opened her arms, and embraced his waist.

This action startled Qin Ge, pulling his thoughts back; he felt the soft touch behind his back and the strength of the arms hugging his waist.

Qin Ge said somewhat embarrassedly, "Belfast, what, what are you doing?"

"Master, please forgive my rudeness, because I want to tell you that you are not alone here. No matter when or where, we will always be by your side." Belfast said softly.

Qin Ge originally wanted to pull Belfast's arm away, but after hearing those words he gave up the action.

"Sorry for making you worry." Qin Ge said softly.

"Actually, Master, you don't need to think that way." Belfast said, "I've noticed that whenever you're in front of us, you always keep a happy expression, and you're very kind and gentle to each of us."

"Yet you keep all the troubles to yourself to bear alone, which is wrong. We also very much want to share all your burdens with you, whether joyful or sorrowful, because that's what family does."

"What do you think? So please, Master, when you encounter problems in the future, don't always insist on shouldering them alone; try confiding in us, so that sharing the load will ease some of the sorrow."

"So Belfast, you're not planning to tease me today, are you?" Qin Ge said with a smile.

"If you're willing, Master." Belfast said with a smile.

Qin Ge let out a slight sigh, "Thank you all, sorry for the trouble."

"Being able to relieve the Master's worries is the greatest honor of a maid." Belfast gave a small smile, then released Qin Ge's waist, turned around, and continued making the bed.

Feeling his strength fade away, Qin Ge glanced back and saw Belfast walking toward the bed, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He then looked again at the vast, boundless sea, and suddenly felt his mood relax considerably. Perhaps, as Belfast said, occasionally finding someone to confide in is also a very good method.

After Belfast finished tidying Qin Ge's belongings here, the two walked out of the cabin together. Yet they saw, at the end of the passageway, on the platform for shipgirls to go up and down, several people standing there chatting.

Qin Ge smiled and walked over, saying to the few people, "Have your rooms been tidied? Why are you all crowded here?" Gu

"Yah, it's the Commander." Biaoqiang turned his head, surprised at the approaching Qin Ge, and said, "It's because just now we saw a very beautiful fish; since it swam extremely fast, it dove underwater, and just now U96 jumped down from here to catch it; we're waiting here."

"Huh? U96 jumped into the sea?" Qin Ge blinked, then asked.

"Yes, big brother." The Du Jiao Shou beside him, holding Youjiang, said to Qin Ge.

"With her speed, can she keep up with this command ship? Should I go up and say something to have the ship slow down a bit?" Qin Ge hurriedly said.

"Commander, you don't need to worry; U96's speed is indeed very fast, because we've already seen it in the training ground." Biaoqiang said to Qin Ge.

"Huh? Really?" Qin Ge asked.

"Hehe, Commander can take a look here; U96 should be back soon." Biaoqiang said confidently.

"Okay." Qin Ge nodded, "By the way, have your rooms been tidied? If not, Belfast, who is here, can help you tidy them."

Biaoqiang glanced at Belfast and smiled, "We tidied our rooms as soon as we came up earlier; they're already done, and I also helped tidy Si Peng Si's and Ling Bo's rooms."

Qin Ge said with a smile, "That's impressive."

"Hehe, of course, Biaoqiang is quite capable." Biaoqiang said with a giggle.

At this moment, Qin Ge turned his head to look at the Du Jiao Shou beside him and said, "Then how about you? Du Jiao Shou, have you tidied up?"

"Hmm." Du Jiao Shou nodded, "Everything in my quarters is already tidied."

"Hehe, Commander probably didn't know? Du Jiao Shou lives together with me." Biaoqiang said with a laugh.

Qin Ge chuckled, "That's good; the two of you living together can help each other. But I recall that Du Jiao Shou used to live with Guanghui, didn't you?"

"I've already told Elder Sister Guanghui, and she agreed." Du Jiao Shou said.

"Hehe, not bad." Qin Ge chuckled.

At that moment, on the distant sea surface, a figure emerged from beneath the water, riding something resembling a submersible, speeding rapidly toward this side.

"Commander, look, U96 is back." Biaoqiang said excitedly.

Qin Ge looked up and saw, sure enough, a U96 wearing a swimsuit and a blue jacket speeding over; she was currently wearing goggles, and the submersible beneath her was her ship equipment.

When she drew near the sailing command ship, U96 leapt from the submersible onto the table, landing steadily, still holding a wriggling fish in her hand.

"Ah, it's the Commander; take a look at my catch this time— isn't this fish beautiful?" U96 said happily.

Qin Ge looked at the colorful fish, smiled and nodded, "Beautiful."

"Hehe, I'm quite skilled at catching fish."
