"Thank you."

Leon was still very clear about Ajax's intentions. After thanking her, Leon got up and walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Oh? Why are you thanking me?"

Smiling noncommittally, and putting down the teacup, Ajax raised his legs and looked at Leon with straight eyes.

"Heh~ Ajax, we are all smart people, smart people speak very simply, you know what I mean."

Substituting tea for wine, he picked up the teacup as a gesture, and then, Leon directly raised his head and drank the tea in it in one gulp.

"Okay~ It seems that His Excellency Leon is still willing to accept my offer. However, can I make some small requests?"

"any request?"

Without refusing, he looked Ajax up and down, and Leon nodded to signal the other party to continue talking.

"My request is..."

Boom-!

It's a pity that the weather is not good, and when Ajax said the request, there were bursts of violent thunder outside.

"Sure enough, it's going to rain...Fortunately, I brought an umbrella. Miss Ajax, please repeat your request. I didn't catch it just now."

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of pattering rain outside, and the sound of the rain became louder and louder. After a while, the entire Port Royal area was shrouded in rain.

"..."

irritable.

Ajax had already taken advantage of the fire to express her thoughts, but the rumbling thunder from outside overshadowed her voice. This is good, the atmosphere of talking about this matter is gone, if When you say your own thoughts out of nowhere...

Wouldn't that make him look perverted?

what can we do about it...

Although Leon did not use words to force Ajax to give an answer quickly, his concerned eyes explained everything to Ajax.

After thinking about it for a while, Ajax finally said to Leon with a smile: "It just so happened that I forgot to bring my umbrella when I went out this morning. Since it is raining now, I will ask you, Lord Leon, to send me off later." go back~"

"Send it back? Didn't you eat lunch?"

"Of course I eat~ So, I have to trouble Your Excellency Leon to take me to the cafeteria first and then send me back. Is that okay?"

As long as he can bring Leon into his room, more than half of his plan has been realized, and Ajax can only play by ear for the rest.

She originally planned to get along with Leon for a few days before slowly introducing herself to him, but today's rainy day happened to provide her with an opportunity, if she didn't seize this opportunity, then the resolution she made last night would be in vain .

"Okay, no problem, then when shall we leave?"

Ajax's request was a piece of cake for him, even if she didn't say it, Leon would invite her to share an umbrella with him out of courtesy.

"Let's take a while, I still have some things to deal with, you can rest here for a while."

"it is good."

After making an agreement with Leon, Ajax slowly got up and walked to the desk, sat on the chair again, and then Ajax began to deal with the remaining affairs.

......

I don't know how long it took, but Ajax finally finished dealing with today's work.

"Come on, have some tea, you've worked hard."

Holding the teapot and teacup in his hand, seeing that Ajax had finished processing, Leon poured her a cup of black tea that he had just brewed.

"Ah...thank you."

Looking at Leon in surprise, Ajax finally took the teacup and nodded to Leon with a smile.

"It's okay. From the perspective of the nature of our work, we are considered colleagues. It's okay to help each other. From today on, you should still call me Leon. It sounds strange if you always call me like your Excellency."

Standing by the window with his back to Ajax, watching the pouring rain outside, Leon took advantage of the opportunity and said a few more words to bring them closer together.

"Okay~ But, correspondingly, you can call me Ajax in the future. Speaking of which, Leon, after the United Port Area is established, should I call you by another name?"

"Well... that's about it. At that time, you can just call me Commander. Of course, it doesn't matter if you call me by my first name. After all, it's just a title. The most important thing is everyone's heart."

"Commander? Speaking of which, I seem to have heard other ship girls call you this before, but... I forgot which ship girl called you that..."

"You should be talking about Emden and the others, but after they were summoned by me, they directly called me the commander. I was a little surprised at the time, but later, more and more ship girls were summoned by me, gradually Yes, I'm used to that name too."

Adapting to a certain appellation is not just a matter of pleasing to the ear, some appellations can only be called out if you agree with them from the heart.

"I see~ Actually, if you like, I can also call you Commander~"

Ajax spoke very softly, and after she finished speaking, she blinked at Leon who turned his head to look at her.

"Of course~ I also need to collect corresponding rewards. After all, the agreement hasn't been signed yet, so it's not appropriate to call you Commander now."

"...So, what's the reward?"

For some reason, Leon suddenly felt that Ajax was very tight on the word remuneration today, no matter what she did, she had to mention the word remuneration.

Could it be that she wants to use this method to force me to compromise step by step because she wants something from me?

"Hee hee~ This is a secret, I haven't figured it out yet, why don't we talk about it after you send me back to the room?"

A charming smile appeared on his face, and after finishing speaking, Ajax shook his body happily again.

"...Okay, let's talk about that later."

......

After chatting in the office for a while, the two packed up their things and left here together.

It was raining heavily, and many ship girls chose to stand at the gate of the government affairs building and wait for their partners to bring umbrellas. The ship girls who participated in the sortie mission also came back one after another, making the hall of the government affairs building at this time extremely lively.

Chapter 545

Three women in one play, not to mention a group of ship girls chatting around the door, but when Leon and Ajax walked over, the royal ship girls who were still chatting closed their doors at the same time. mouthed.

"Um...good afternoon everyone?"

Leon was a little uncomfortable with the curious and scrutinizing eyes of the ship girls. He smiled and waved to everyone. Then, he went to the front and opened the umbrella.

Why are you all staring at me! ?

It's not the first time seeing me!

"Ahaha... Good afternoon, Your Excellency Leon."

It seemed that the atmosphere was a little silent. Seeing that everyone was silent, Grenville on the side took the initiative to say hello to Leon.

If someone took the lead, the remaining things would be much easier. They all said good noon to Leon, and after a while, the quiet and eerie hall resumed the livelyness just now.

The only difference is that the eyes of the girls are still looking at Leon from time to time.

Ajax, who originally walked side by side with Leon, chose to stand aside and observe silently when everyone looked at Leon. She is a little hesitant now, if she shares an umbrella with Leon in front of everyone and leaves here if...

So will everyone think more about it?

Although I do have different ideas about Leon now, but to make this idea public...

Isn't something bad?

"Miss Ajax, do you have an extra umbrella?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Ajax, who was meditating, only heard someone calling her, and looked up, and then, she saw Grenville, who was looking at her cautiously.

"I mean, did you bring an extra umbrella when you went out today? Or do you have a spare umbrella in your office? I just asked Firefly and asked them to send me an umbrella, but everyone now I'm having lunch, and I'm embarrassed to ask them to deliver it in advance, and when they finish eating, I..."

Grenville now only feels that she is very embarrassed. The ship lady who is on duty in the government building has lunch later than other ship girls. She usually doesn't like to ask other royal partners. On the contrary, she is the one who is often asked. She was a little overwhelmed by the feeling of the role reversal.

"Oh~ so, I understand. You go to my office, the last drawer on the left hand side of the desk is the umbrella I just brought over this morning, you can use it."

"Really...really? Thank you! Miss Ajax!"

He looked at Ajax gratefully, and after walking a few steps, Grenville came back with some doubts.

"what happened?"

"Miss Ajax, if I use your umbrella, how will you go back?"

"Heh~ You don't have to worry about such things~ Look, my umbrella is waiting for me now~"

With a chuckle, while speaking, Ajax pouted his lips and signaled Grenville to Leon who had already walked outside the door.

"Huh!? Your Excellency Leon!?"

"Shh~ don't be so loud, I just borrowed Leon's umbrella to go to the cafeteria to have a meal and go back, nothing like what you imagined happened between us~"

Smiling at Grenville with a mysterious face, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. After speaking, Ajax walked out with easy steps and came to Leon.

"What did you talk to Grenville just now? Why do I think she seems a little excited?"

Leon saw all the chatting between Ajax and Grenville, but he could only judge the content of their chatting based on the expressions on their faces.

"It's nothing~ It's just some work matters, Leon, let's go~"

With a sweet smile on his face, he winked at Leon, and Ajax took Leon's arm again.

"Oh..."

A faint fragrance came to the nostrils, and was instantly covered by the smell of soil. He nodded, and Leon left here with Ajax holding an umbrella.

......

Ajax eats faster than Leon imagined, perhaps because he works in the government building all the year round, so every second counts. By the time Leon finishes eating, Ajax has almost eaten.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get some snacks and fruit."

He wiped his mouth with a tissue from a small box beside him, tilted his head and smiled, and after speaking, Ajax got up and walked towards the dessert area in the distance.

There is another difference between the Royal Restaurant and the Iron-Blooded Canteen. They not only have windows for displaying food, but also special areas for placing snacks, snacks or fruits.

Of course, you can also ask the royal maid to deliver these things to your room during afternoon tea, provided you can wait for such a long time.

Sitting in his seat, watching the figure of Ajax leave, Leon took out his communicator and looked at the information in each group.

Different from Iron Blood and other Red Axis camps, the Royal Ship Girls seem to like the group chat function on the communicator very much. Not only the Royal Maids, but even other Ship Girls have their own group chats.

The big group where all the royal members were there was silly Bai who pulled him into it, and King Qiao Wu pulled him into the group where their sisters of the same level and the monarch were, and the monarch pulled Leon into only the royal plan After that, Cheshire took this opportunity to pull him into entertainment groups of all sizes.

Leon didn't know what these groups were for, he only knew that these girls would chat in the groups when they were free.

Ajax pulled Leon into the official business group because of business, and then, on the night of the afternoon tea held by Guanghui, Guanghui also pulled him into the group chat with only the Royal Aircraft Carrier in it.

All in all, Leon has been pulled into many group chats during the past few days when he came to the royal family. Everyone seems to have endless topics to talk about every day. After meeting and chatting online, this is part of the daily life of the royal ship girl. .

Of course, after joining these group chats, Leon never said a word. He prefers diving to "sneak peek" at the life of the girls on the Royal Fleet. Sometimes, he even saves the selfies of the girls on the ship.

This is appreciation of beauty, this is not

Holding the communicator and flipping through the various chat records idly, after a while, Ajax came back with two bags.

"Okay~ let's go back."

"Ah."

Put away the communicator, put on his coat and hat, glanced at Ajax, and Leon reached out and gestured to her again.

"...Thank you~"

Knowing Leon's intentions, Ajax handed some heavy fruit bags to the other party, took Leon's arm again, and the two left the cafeteria staggeringly like this.

......

at the same time.

"Humph!"

In the room, Silly Bai was lying on the sofa looking at the communicator in his hand, and what was displayed on the communicator screen was a photo of Ajax leaving the restaurant with Leon's arm.

Swiping his finger upwards, the photo of the two leaving the government affairs building also appeared in front of Shabai.

This guy...

It's only been a few days! ?

How did he get along with Ajax?

Silly Bai originally wanted to let Ajax let her make things difficult for Leon, but now it's good, the way of letting it go made the relationship between the two closer.
