Chapter 690: Prepare for Life in the Royal Camp in Advance

Chapter 689: Prepare for the life in the royal camp in advance

In front of Hiei, there was a white carpet on the ground.

On the carpet, there was a complete set of white royal-style tables and chairs and tea sets. On the table, there were various cakes and Sakura-style snacks.

But what attracted Lin Lan's attention the most was the black tea in the teacups, which was still steaming with white steam.

Undoubtedly, these two Kongo-class battleship girls had lunch directly in the main hall of the shrine while waiting for him to come back.

"Hey, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

After being released by Kongo, Lin Lan also smiled and apologized to Kongo and Hiei.

At this time, in addition to Kongo and Hiei, the Yamashiro and Harutsuki he saw in the morning, as well as the two general-purpose Bri sisters, were no longer in the shrine.

There were only these two battleship girls in the huge shrine.

It can be seen that they should have been arranged by Nagato or Mikasa to come here to wait for his return.

Sure enough, after hearing his apologetic words, Kongo took his hand in an elegant and natural way, and said to him with a smile:

"Well, I was just joking when I said I had been waiting for a long time. It's better to say that Hiei and I just took this opportunity to come here and spend a leisurely morning."

After that, he was led by Kongo to Hiei and the set of royal-style tableware.

And Hiei also took out a chair from the ship's storage space with a smile, put it beside the table, and invited Lin Lan:

"Commander, you probably haven't had lunch yet, why don't you enjoy lunch with us here?"

"I haven't had lunch yet, so I'll trouble you."

As for the information he got from Shen Lianying and his subsequent plans, he was not particularly anxious to tell Nagato and the others.

Moreover, it was lunch time at this time, and Nagato and Amagi might still be eating.

So Lin Lan gave Hiei a thankful smile, accepted the invitation, and sat down at the royal-style white table with two Sakura Empire battleship girls.

Although Hiei was a gentle lady with beautiful black hair, Lin Lan still felt a natural elegance and noble temperament from her that was not inferior to Kongo.

This is no wonder. Whether it is Kongo or Hiei, they are both famous battleships in the Sakura Empire camp in the history of Blue Star.

The eldest sister Kongo, as the last batch of large battleships ordered from abroad by the Sakura Empire camp, served as the flagship of the seventh generation of the Combined Fleet.

And Hiei has served as the imperial ship of the Sakura Empire fleet review ceremony many times, and her popularity is even comparable to that of the flagship idol Nagato of the Combined Fleet.

After taking the cutlery handed to him by Hiei, Kongo also took the teapot and poured him a cup of fragrant black tea.

"Commander, you know the style of our four Kongo-class sisters, so just treat it as an early experience of the royal camp's tea party, hehe~"

After Kongo sat back in the chair, he elegantly picked up the unfinished teacup in front of her, and said with a smile to Lin Lan.

"Then I won't be polite, Kongo, you are right, I really need to learn royal etiquette from you before returning to the port."

In response to Kongo's joke, Lin Lan cut a cake, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and nodded thoughtfully.

He was very sure that when he returned to the port, he would definitely be invited to the tea party by the royal ship girls headed by Shabai.

It would be better to ask Kongo for advice in advance when he was in Sakura Empire than to be dragged by the head maid Belfast to make up for the etiquette class at the last minute.

What's more, because of various coincidences before, he did not greet Queen Elizabeth.

Based on his understanding of Queen Elizabeth, after the arrogant queen learned that he had communicated with Yingyong, she would definitely want to lock him in the royal castle in the port area for 24 hours and prohibit him from going out.

Rather than waiting until that point to learn the lifestyle of the royal camp, he still had to make various preparations in advance.

"Oh? Commander, are you interested in royal etiquette? Don't worry, you will never find a better person to learn from in the entire Sakura Empire except me, Kongo."

Kongo immediately agreed with great interest when he heard him say that, and his tone was full of pride like a young lady.

But after listening to Kongo's words, Hiei covered her mouth elegantly and chuckled.

The golden-eyed lady with red rope bells and red flower headdresses tied on both sides of the white pointed corners on her forehead whispered to her sister:

"Sister Kongo, have you forgotten? Senior Mikasa is also like us, and returned from studying abroad in the royal camp."

It would have been better if Hiei didn't say it. Lin Lan then remembered that Senior Mikasa was also born in the royal camp.

The so-called study abroad is actually Mikasa and Kongo's view of their past experience after becoming ship girls.

Even Lin Lan still remembers that Mikasa had a set of clothes, which was the youthful school uniform she wore when she was studying abroad in the Royal Faction.

When she put on that set of clothes, Mikasa would also joke with him very rarely:

"At that time, many people would travel across the ocean to study in the Royal Faction. Should we go too? Although the Royal Faction dormitory is only a few minutes away, haha."

However, after hearing his sister's friendly reminder, Kongo's face changed immediately.

After putting the teacup back on the table, the blond-haired battleship girl looked at Lin Lan, her tone already showing some worry:

"Commander, you just said that you wanted to ask me for advice on royal etiquette, you won't regret it, right?"

It can be seen that even the always confident Kongo is a little unconfident about the oppression brought by the senior Mikasa, who is admired by everyone in the Sakura Empire.

However, in response to Kongo's worry, Lin Lan smiled and gave her a reassurance:

"Don't worry, once you say something, it's over. How can I regret it?"

"Besides, Mikasa has to deal with a lot of affairs in the camp on weekdays. Apart from you, there is really no better royal etiquette teacher in the Sakura Empire."

After getting Lin Lan's firm answer, Kongo's face showed a bright smile again.

"Then since the commander said so, let's start from now."

"First of all, it's about the dining etiquette of meals and tea parties..."

I have to admit that once Kongo gets serious, he is really a strict and good teacher.

Lin Lan also learned a lot of new knowledge during this lunch under the guidance of the two battleship girls, Kongo and Hiei.

Of course, the real royal etiquette is not as easy as he saw in the short video of Blue Star, but a very complicated subject.

It is impossible for him to fully master it in just over an hour.

Not to mention that in addition to dining etiquette, royal etiquette also includes all aspects of daily life.

In Kongo's words, these etiquettes even include the way of speaking and seemingly casual movements.

However, Lin Lan is not a royal family after all, so Kongo also suggested that he does not need to learn many particularly demanding etiquette.

After enjoying the food on the table and tasting the royal black tea brought by Kongo and Hiei from the port area, Lin Lan and them packed up the tables and chairs and left the shrine from the main hall.

The shrine and the surrounding streets were still very quiet in the afternoon. When Lin Lan followed Kongo and Hiei to the five-story pagoda, she said to Hiei:

"Hiei, please contact Fuso and tell her to bring a food lunch box into the sacred tree barrier after she has rested."

"Commander, does the great sage want to eat?"

After hearing his arrangement, Hiei looked at him with some surprise and asked.

In her and Kongo's impression, Yunxian should be the only one who needs to eat in the sacred tree barrier.

And Yunxian can often go for several days without a meal. It is rumored that she can absorb energy from heaven and earth like a fairy.

Even after they came to Xueying Island from the port area, they almost never saw Yunxian again.

Hearing Hiei's curious words, Lin Lan also understood that Kongo and Hiei seemed to be unaware that the demon king had awakened.

Probably, before Yunxian used the butterfly to convey the message, they had been arranged by Nagato to come to the shrine to pick him up.

So Lin Lan shrugged and explained to Hiei with a smile:

"It's not that Yunxian wants to eat... But it's true, let Fuso prepare an extra portion of food for Yunxian."

"Didn't Nagato and I solve the problem of the Demon King in the Imperial God Tree barrier yesterday? The Demon King woke up today."
