sun in blue

"...thanks."

Glancing at the paper towel handed over by Leon, the empire wiped his mouth with it after thanking him, stood up, squinted his eyes and stretched, and then looked at Leon with a smile on his face.

"Let's go, next... I'll show you around the library of the Sardinian Empire."

......

Leon already knew where the various facilities were located when he was visiting the port area of ​​Sardinia before. However, Leon has not visited those iconic facilities yet. Except for the bathing place he visited last night, the rest Leon also doesn't know anything about the internal situation of the facility.

For these facilities, Leon is still very willing to take the time to visit. When the port area is built, he must integrate the elements of each camp into the port area. Now he can just refer to the Sardinian Empire. Deco.

"This is our library."

After walking in the base with the empire for a while, Leon finally came to a circular building. From the outside, the exterior decoration of this building was somewhat similar to a bathhouse, but after entering, Leon Ang was shocked by the magnificent scene inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a golden hall. There is nothing in the hall. There is only a huge red carpet on the ground in the middle. Walking in, Leon saw the red stairs around. It leads directly to the highest floor of the library. The circular walls are full of bookshelves, and densely packed books fill the entire venue.

"There are so many books here..."

Leon could only express admiration for the huge storage of books. After walking around in the hall, Leon finally knew what is called the ocean of books.

"Of course, but most of the books stored here are ancient books. For us, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. The books we usually read are stored in these rooms. The types of books in each room are different. Every There are also some small differences in the books in each room."

Speaking of this, a look of pride appeared on the face of the empire. Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her fingers and pointed to the black wooden doors around the hall. Inside these doors was a small library. There is a special reading room for people to enjoy alone.

"Well, wouldn't it take a lot of time for you to organize these rooms?"

There are about a dozen rooms in the library, and it would definitely take a long time to tidy up every room.

"Well... It doesn't take a lot of time to tidy up these rooms. After all, there are not many ship girls who come to read books. Now everyone prefers to borrow books and take them back to their rooms to read. Only a few ship girls will like I'm still in the library."

Tapping his lips with his index finger, the Empire answered Leon with his head tilted after a little thought.

"So that's the case, but... Since I'm here, let me help you clean up these rooms today? Don't look at me like this, in fact, I still like doing housework very much."

After thinking about it, Leon finally decided to help the empire clean these rooms. If he sat there alone reading a book and let the empire clean it... Leon still felt a little sorry.

"Oh? You really want to help?"

Leon's words made the empire stunned for a moment. Sister Veneto emphasized to everyone that Leon and the others are guests of the Sardinian Empire. If you let the guests help you clean up...

Will I be disrespectful then?

"Of course, it's not a troublesome thing. It's just cleaning a few rooms. With my help, you can get out of this task quickly, so that you can introduce me to more beautiful books."

Looking at the still tangled empire, Leon said to her again with a confident face, this is a good opportunity for him to draw closer to the empire, so... he can also take this opportunity to give The empire talked about its own thoughts.

"...Well, since you are so active, I would like to thank you for your help, but...you must not tell Sister Veneto about this!"

After hesitating for a while, the empire finally nodded and agreed to Leon's proposal, but in the end, she couldn't help emphasizing to Leon to keep this matter a secret.

"Huh? Oh~ I see, don't worry, I won't tell Veneto, this is a secret between the two of us."

The emphasis of the empire made Leon stunned for a moment at first, but he soon understood what the empire meant, and smiled meaningfully at the empire, and then Leon nodded seriously.

"Well, if that's the case, which room should we start with first...?"

Seeing that Leon understood what she meant, the empire calmly looked at the surrounding rooms again. In the end, she chose to tidy up one by one from the first room.

......

"Huh~huh~ Why is it so exhausting to tidy up these rooms... When was the last time you cleaned the library?"

Leon thought this would be a relaxing experience, he had already thought about what he was going to say to the empire in his mind, but...

These dusty rooms ended up gagging Leon.

Except for the few rooms that everyone used frequently, the rest of the rooms were almost in a state of disorganization. Not only did the two of them have to sort the messy books, they also had to clean all the facilities in the room.

Now, Leon is sitting on the ground panting, and the empire sitting with him is not very relaxed at this time, the knitted sweater she is wearing has long been thrown aside by her, and a few buttons on the shirt are unbuttoned At this time, the empire also raised his head and leaned against the bookshelf behind him panting.

"The last time we cleaned the library was almost two months ago. After all, we have been busy attacking and destroying the sirens during this time, so..."

There were also reasons why the empire wanted to reject Leon before, but...seeing that Leon was so kind, the empire could only keep this matter in its heart in the end.

"Two months!? Forget it... A gentleman can't follow his words. This is something I promised you, and I will definitely stick to it until the end."

For some reason, Leon suddenly felt as if he had been tricked by the empire, but when he thought of his enthusiastic appearance before, Leon could only blame himself for not asking more.

"It's okay, we've finished cleaning the library now, wait for me to wait a while, and then I'll find you some nice books."

Looking at Leon with his head sideways, the Empire immediately unbuttoned another button to make his chest more comfortable. After noticing the movement of the Empire from the corner of his eyes, Leon also subconsciously looked at the Empire.

At this time, the empire's collarbone was already covered with thin beads of sweat, and the fair skin also revealed a touch of tenderness, and the front armor that was tightly bound by the clothes was also relaxed at this time, and it was ready to appear. It made the empire look a lot more charming. It seemed that the body felt a little hot. At this time, the empire also reached out and took off his shoes. The little feet in black socks were also very cute from Leon's perspective.

Hmm... It seems that I still made my own money, at least ordinary empires would not do these things in front of themselves.

Appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of her, Leon felt a little more comfortable in her heart, but at this time, the empire didn't think so much at all, and the feeling of relaxing her body even made her want to sleep here.

"Huh~ It's almost time to rest, I'm going to get you a book now."

The two sat side by side for a while like this, seemingly rested, then the empire put on his shoes again and walked towards the distant bookshelf, and after a while, the empire came back with a few books in his arms.

"These are the books I usually like to read. See if there is anything you are interested in. If it doesn't work, I can find some other types of books for you."

"okay, I get it."

After handing the book in her arms to Leon, the empire sat next to Leon again leaning on the bookshelf behind her, and then she took out another book from it and read it with relish.

Entering the state so soon?

Looking at the empire that just picked up the book and plunged into it, Leon also opened a book at random and read it. The books recommended by the empire were basically brain-burning reasoning, which was a good time for Leon. good choice.

Um...?

However, after watching for a while, Leon suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and then, he saw the empire falling asleep on his body.

Fall asleep so fast! ?

Return to iron and blood, Sardinian style: Chapter 368 The thousand-layer routine of the empire

Looking at the little head of the empire that was constantly shaking slightly with the ups and downs of his body, Leon hesitated for a moment and then gave up the idea of ​​waking her up.

Why can the empire sleep so peacefully...

Is this what she said before, that you can have a good dream after reading the book?

Or was she tired and fell asleep?

The faint fragrance gradually lingered in Leon's breath. After thinking about it, Leon still decided to read a book to pass the time.

However, after reading the book in his hand for a while, Leon finally couldn't help looking at the sleeping empire.

How could the book in my hand look as good as the front armor of the empire! ?

I have to say that the empire wearing a uniform shirt is more charming than before, plus the few buttons that the empire unbuttoned due to the heat before and the little bit of fragrant sweat on the white skin, Leon feels...

If he doesn't take a closer look at the front armor of the empire now, he will be sorry for how hard he cleaned it before.

"Hmm... tuna... crucian carp..."

While Leon was staring intently at the front armor to observe its structure, the Empire, who was still asleep, suddenly let out a few ravings, and then she subconsciously hugged Leon's arm with her own hand .

fish...?Does the Empire like to eat fish?

Leon doesn't know much about the empire's preferences now, but... the content of his conversation with the empire that he had prepared before is obviously in vain. He gently shook the body of the empire with his arm, and Leon finally gave up resistance.

But... the empire doesn't seem to be so guarded against herself, otherwise she wouldn't be falling asleep like this now...

The feeling of being forcibly hugged by the empire made Leon uncomfortable. Sitting on the ground in this position made him feel uncomfortable on his back and buttocks. He adjusted his sitting posture slightly to make himself more comfortable. Leon He lifted his head and let out a long sigh.

A little hot.

The two are sitting next to the bookshelf in the corner of the room. In this slightly crowded environment, Leon can clearly feel the hot and humid air exhaled from the slightly opened mouth of the empire. Picking up a book in his arms as a fan and fanning himself, Leon felt better now.

Forget it, let's read a book.

Leon has already engraved the appearance of the front armor in his heart, and he can't continue to explore the places he can't see. After looking at the smooth and beautiful legs of the empire again with admiring eyes, Leon put his own Attention is on the book.

......

"Well..."

I don't know how long it took, the empire finally woke up gradually from his dream, stretched subconsciously, and the empire saw Leon's expression that looked like a smile but not a smile.

!

The moment she saw Leon, the empire knew where the soft touch she felt when she was sleeping before came from. She was so tired before, and after reading for a while, the empire felt that her upper and lower eyelids were twitching. Fighting with each other, she originally wanted to struggle to prevent herself from falling asleep like this, but...

The struggle of the Empire ended in failure.

"Well, did you sleep comfortably?"

Seeing that the empire opened his eyes, Leon put the book in his hand upside down and moved his numb arm a little. Then Leon stood up and stretched his limbs.

His body's flexibility is not as good as Jianniang's. After sitting here for so long, Leon must move his body now.

"Shu...comfortable, that...sorry."

Leon's words and deeds made the empire only feel embarrassed for a while. This is clearly the Sardinian Empire, but in the end it was himself who was taken care of...

Kind of ashamed.

His cheeks were slightly red and he lowered his head. The Empire then apologized softly to Leon. Seeing the Empire's awkwardness, Leon suddenly had the idea of ​​molesting the Empire.

"It's okay, I'm just numb in my arms now, if only someone could help me relax..."

It doesn't matter what he said, but Leon still wants to ask for some reward now. Hearing what Leon said, the empire immediately raised his head.

"I... can I give you a massage? After all, this is my problem... I should be responsible for it."

Veneto once taught the empire that if she did something wrong, she must make a serious apology. Even if she is a great empire, she can't lose the most fundamental etiquette because of this kind of face problem.

The empire has always kept Veneto's teachings in mind, so...she now has to apologize to Leon for her previous behavior.

The relationship between her and Leon is not that close now. Now that things have happened, the empire can only bite the bullet now.

"Oh? You can also massage?"

Leon was stunned by the words of the empire. He just wanted to tease the empire to make her show a shy expression. The shyness of the empire is a good reward for Leon. After all, he has the ability to heal. He can easily solve the problem by himself.

But...he didn't expect that the empire would really agree to his request.

"Eh...I'm not very good at this kind of thing, but...I will try my best!"

After all, the empire waved his little fist with a serious face, and seeing the seriousness of the empire, Leon sat back in his seat again.

"Okay, since you've said that, I'll give you my arm, and you have to treat it well!"

Stretching his arm towards the empire, Leon immediately made a joke to her with a smile on his face. It is not what he cares most about the massage techniques of the empire. What he cares most about is...

What kind of method will the empire massage itself.

"Don't worry, I'll make you feel better."

Listening to Leon's joke, a smile slowly appeared on the face of the empire. After grabbing Leon's arm with his small hand, the empire began to massage Leon slowly.

The empire's massage method is almost the simplest. It is not so much a massage as it is a light pinch. The soft little hands are pinching Leon's arm with some effort. Strong curiosity.

Leon's body is so strong...

When taking a bath last night, the empire had faintly noticed how strong Leon's body was. After experiencing it with her own hands today, she felt the difference between him and herself again.

It feels so great!

"By the way, did Veneto talk to you after going back last night?"

Although he didn't have massage skills, the touch brought by the little hands of the empire was still very good. After squinting his eyes and enjoying it for a while, Leon opened his eyes and looked at the empire again.

"Huh? Sister Veneto? I went to bed after returning home last night, and Sister Veneto didn't come to my room either. Why are you asking this question?"

Leon's question also made the empire's eyes widen in confusion, but after hearing what Leon said, the empire is now very curious about what the two of them talked about on the balcony for so long last night.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking casually, but... Empire, what do you think of the current situation?"

Seeing that Veneto hadn't discussed what he said with the empire, Leon pre-emptively posed this question to the empire.

"Look at...? To be honest, I don't care much about the outside world. I only care about the interests of the Sardinian Empire, and I will only destroy the enemies of the Sardinian Empire. But... Leon, if you need help, Then I don't mind extending a helping hand to you, we are allies after all."

After all, the empire smiled sweetly at Leon again. Leon had spared no effort to help them before, so...they should treat Leon with the same attitude.

"Hehe~ what you sisters say is the same, but...if I say, I need you to stand with me to rule this sea...will you agree to me?"

After chuckling twice, Leon then asked his true thoughts. In a sense, uniting all camps and becoming a commander is another kind of rule. However, he It can't be regarded as a ruler in the true sense, after all...he won't force everyone to do anything.

"rule...?"
