Chapter 83 "41"

Following the eyes of the crew, at the end of the passage is a double door, which looks slightly luxurious and has a decoration style that does not fit a military ship.

"Please."

The demihuman crew took a step forward, slightly pushed open one of the double doors, and motioned for us to enter the venue.

Both Titus and Bilo looked at me, although I just silently followed the three of them to the end, but at this time it seemed that it was to show respect for me, and some other etiquette things, they seemed to want to I'll go in first.

"Please~"

After thinking about it, I still spread my hands and expressed to them the attitude that they should go in first.

In order not to cause some unnecessary troubles, people like me should follow behind quietly, and it is best not to be noticed by anyone, right?
The faint sound of music passed through the slightly opened door, which made me feel what kind of scene might be inside the door.

Boom!Da da dong, da da dong!

Although it is not the kind of explosive music that can be heard in the ballroom, but this kind of ritual music with a navy style and a strong sense of rhythm is still very exciting?

It was a lively scene, with a lot of people I might know, and of course a lot of people I didn't.

The three sides of the venue seem to be made of transparent glass, which seems to be a fragile structure protruding from the outside of the ship.

The gloomy environment outside the window means that we are actually undergoing a low-speed transition. This economical long-distance sailing method can extend the maximum range of the ship to a considerable extent.

Moreover, the impact on various equipment on the ship will be reduced to an acceptable level accordingly.

When looking in the middle, the huge ring-shaped multifunctional table surrounds a stage-like site structure, leaving only a few gaps for people to enter and exit.

Although there was no show on the stage at this time, and I shouldn't say that, but looking at it here makes me feel that it is not so serious.

Teacher Prussia, my senior brother and other freshmen recruited by Prussia sat on a corner of the circular table, which should be an arc to be precise.

Naturally, they also saw us. Out of politeness and positional considerations, they should greet them first at this time, right?

Although I looked a little surprised when I saw it, Eiffel's expression was still calm. Maybe he didn't expect that I was invited here?
So it seems that this occasion still needs some so-called "identities" as admission tickets?
Let's make a guess first, shall we?

Of course, there are some people I haven't seen sitting on other arcs, and it seems that they should also be recruiting units picked up by this ship from other planets.

It seems like they've been on this ship before.

Our arrival naturally attracted the attention of everyone present, but it was limited to polite glances and some curious whispers.

"Um……"

In this way, I seemed to hear Titus humming embarrassingly, maybe he was a little timid about the battle in front of him.

After all...he is just a pampered noble young master.

"Let's go, let's go to Mr. Pruss first."

It can be considered that there is some intersection, I don't know what kind of consideration I am in, I actually made a similar move to comfort him.

But it's also possible... It's just that I am looking for a reasonable excuse for my next preparation, right?
Rationalizing one's own behavior is also a common means of deceiving oneself by human beings.

If you think about it this way... am I actually timid too?

What are you doing... Lin Man...

Although soon, our arrival became calm after causing a small disturbance, and we also consciously took the long way to sit down in an inconspicuous position near Mr. Pruss.

But unfortunately, things don't always go so smoothly. The captain who made me feel sorry has always kept his eyes on me.

Even if I have been as low-key as possible, reducing my unnecessary movements as much as possible.

There is some curiosity in the eyes, and a little bit of banter, and I can even reasonably guess that maybe he will use me to have some fun next time.

Speaking of which, I've been blacklisted by others before I even know what this guy's name is.

And I found a strange phenomenon, since I came in, I have been observing Li Fuer, she didn't have much reaction when she saw me before, but after seeing the two Titus who followed me, her eyes happened changed.

Ouch, there are too many troubles, I should have found an excuse just now if I knew it earlier, it would be better not to come here alive or dead.

Although it is indeed unclear to me, in some respects I have failed as a human being, and this has already attracted people's hatred.

"Why are you here too?"

After sitting down next to Eiffel who had been watching my approach, he seemed to see me who had been watching the captain not far away, and began to wink at me.

Keenly realized that maybe the problem was not quite right, and started talking to me proactively in order to avoid some bad situations, right?

"Haha, why are you here? Naturally, I received an invitation."

Pruss on the side also glanced at me slightly, and after getting closer, I could find that there was still some worry in his eyes.

While laughing at Eiffel, he began to think about what direction the next situation would develop.

Just because of the performance of these two masters and apprentices, I'm sure I'm [-]% persona non welcome here!
The captain who was staring at me like a tiger, Livre who might be hostile to me again, and these two unreliable "friends" beside me just now...

While I was thinking about it quietly, the crew on the ship had already started to add some food to the table of almost the newcomers just now—except for me.

There was no surprise at all, as if my existence was ignored, and I didn't get anything that could be called food.

Oh yes, except for what looks like a glass of plain water.

But that's fine, I just need to keep a low profile, quietly participate in group activities here, and show that I am indeed a new student of this batch.

Looking at the half-smile expression of this private cargo captain, I'm afraid he is waiting for me to provoke a dispute to get me killed?

My good brother also noticed my embarrassment, and took the initiative to push one of his meals to me who seemed to be adjusting his emotions, a plate of fried meat dishes that I didn't know what it was.

On the right hand side, Livre, who was chatting with her "staff" at the beginning, has also fallen into a thoughtful look, and from time to time looks at the two Titus brothers who have begun to eat.

Titus himself was not unusual, but Bilo on the side observed this strange scene vigilantly from time to time. Just now, he collided with my eyes and smiled a little awkwardly, as if he said again: "Really?" Sorry for dragging you into this shitty quagmire!" Same.

It is the greatest comfort to me that you can have such self-awareness.

As for me, it's best for everyone to just pretend that I don't exist, and nothing happened just now, and I'll take the opportunity to sneak out when something else attracts your attention.

Staying here no matter how strong my concentration is, I still feel uncomfortable all over.

It was too quiet. Compared with the stormy preset scene I expected, everything in front of me was too harmonious, so harmonious that it made me feel scared.

People are always afraid of the unknown, and I am no exception.

Now as far as I know, people who may have potential interests are all drinking at the same table with their own ghosts and harmony. The scenery in front of me has to be regarded as a world-famous painting!
Ugh!
But when there was bad news, that guy was looking at me straight now, showing a playful smile that he didn't understand.

Maybe looking for a chance to have some fun with me...

"Boom~!"

kid?

I continued to fantasize about strange things, but the discordant voice caught my eye again.

A small door opened in the dark not far away, and a short man with the appearance of an officer ran towards the captain with a document.

The bridge commander was in casual clothes, without armor or protective gear, and with the rank of midshipman, it seemed that he might be someone's adjutant.

And the document in hand might be some important information, right?
Almost everyone's eyes were attracted to it, and through the not-so-bright light, one could see that the person's face was serious, maybe... not a very good thing, right?
Sure enough, the captain's face changed suddenly after reading it, and the red wine glass he was holding trembled slightly.

"Everyone, I have some troublesome things to deal with here, please continue to enjoy your meal here."

Then he got up and left.

I knew the problem might be serious, because he didn't even remember that he was still holding the wine glass in his other hand.

What will happen?
When I turned my head to look at Eiffel, he had already exchanged glances with Prussia, and now he just nodded slightly when he saw me.

The meaning may be: let me not worry, just continue to wait here.

Looking around, although most people did not show any abnormalities, there was still a scene of whispering.

It should be a military issue that makes the chief military officer leave. Is it because the captain must be present to change the established route, or to authorize the weapons to fire?
If it was just to change the established route, then why did he show such a rather anxious state?
If the authorized weapon fired, did it encounter an enemy ship?
Just kidding... Encountering enemies in the star field that I completely control, this is not those galaxies that are located in the contested area...

I don't even believe it myself.

Could it be pirates or something?

Well, it's not impossible for pirates to rob warships...

What else could be the reason?
