"I, I don't want to. I'm not as shameless as her." Elizabeth blushed after just thinking about it and immediately refused.

"Elizabeth, you don't understand. Only the shipgirls who know how to act like a spoiled child can get candy. How can you be more comfortable than the commander with your face?"

After leaning in You Ran's arms for a long time, he finally recovered. With the help of Elizabeth's words, Littorio forced himself to stand up on his weak legs as if nothing had happened.

It’s okay in front of the commander, but I can’t lose face in front of the little queen of the royal family.

Seeing through the situation but not saying anything, You Ran just smiled and said nothing. Seeing that Littorio had made himself blush again, You Ran looked at Charybdis on the side with satisfaction, "Okay, I have almost finished talking about the digressions. I am not here to chat this time. I am actually quite curious about how you normally train a qualified maid, Charybdis, besides being born with talent."

Chapter 170: The Bet with Elizabeth

"In fact, as long as you have a sincere heart towards you, your master, and then put a little effort into maid etiquette, it is quite easy to become a qualified maid." Charybdis said casually.

After all, it is not difficult to become a qualified maid. What is really difficult is to become an excellent maid like Belfast.

"However, the maid in charge of teaching during this Maid Experience Week is not me, but one of her sisters."

As soon as Charybdis finished speaking, Sheffield, who had been waiting behind the stage, walked out directly. After performing a standard maid's salute to You Ran, she stood beside You Ran and looked at the four war-weary people in front of her.

"As you can see, I will be in charge of the teaching of this Maid Experience Week. Your Majesty, everyone, if there is anything in the teaching that makes you feel wrong, please do not doubt it. It must be your fault, so you should first look for the reason from your own body."

Sheffield acted very indifferent, with no expression on his face while he spoke, and his tone was slightly faster without any ups and downs, which made You Ran think of the classic three-no attributes. However, if you really listen carefully, you can actually feel some emotions in Sheffield's words, which is not the same as the real three-no.

"Well, first of all, as the commander's maids, we must understand one thing from beginning to end. Just like we will always have only one commander, the same is true for the master, and the master's orders are above all else. So if the master does something to you in public that only pests can do, then you can only accept your fate. After all, who told you to have such a pest master?"

Sheffield spoke in the calmest tone, but his words succeeded in scaring Charybdis.

"Um, ahem, that, Master, please don't mind it, Sheffield is just like that."

Unexpectedly, Sheffield spoke so sarcastically in front of his master. Taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was listening to Sheffield's speech, Charybdis whispered to Youran.

"It's okay. It's nothing."

The ship girls all have different personalities. For example, Sheffield's sharp-tongued character is nothing special in the port area, and You Ran doesn't care much about it.

After hearing what Youran said, Charybdis breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back again, and continued to listen to Sheffield's speech.

"So from now on, the first thing you trainee maids have to do is to change the word 'commander' to 'master'."

"It just so happens that the master is here today, so everyone can try it out now. Remember, you must say the word 'master' with emotion."

After saying that, Sheffield stood back behind You Ran again, indicating that they could start.

"Although, Sheffield, does what you shouted really have anything to do with the word 'emotional'..." Littorio couldn't help but complain after listening to Sheffield's words.

"The tone of voice is not the key. The key is to shout it out from the heart." Sheffield explained and also defended himself a little.

"Well, now you're the teacher, and everything you said is correct."

Littorio did not argue. After adjusting his clothes a little, Littorio made an elegant turn and came directly in front of You Ran. He half-knelt on his knees, held up one of You Ran's hands and kissed the back of his hand.

After completing this series of actions that he had prepared in advance, Littorio looked up at You Ran expectantly: "How is it? My dear master~ What is now presented to you is Littorio's new maid posture. Are you amazed?"

"Well...I was indeed amazed."

You Ran smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether he was surprised or not, but he admitted that he was embarrassed. It must be said that every time they met, Littorio could always give him some unexpected tricks.

"Owner."

Unlike Littorio, Veneto shouted honestly and seriously.

"Master, Master..." Yan Zhan was a little embarrassed in his heart, and then he also shouted out.

After You Ran responded to everything, he looked at Elizabeth with a smile. She turned her head away and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"What about the other one, Sheffield, don't you care about it?"

"I'm sorry, Master. I can't control this. Or, in fact, I can't control anyone. It's all up to everyone's willingness, so you have to come in person."

"Hehe~!" Seeing Sheffield say that, Elizabeth immediately became arrogant, "I heard that I have no servants, you can't control me, I can call you whatever I want."

"Yes, yes, then Elizabeth, how about we make a bet?" You Ran suddenly said.

"Bet?" Elizabeth was stunned. "What bet?"

"Let's bet on whether you will call me master in person during the week you are a maid, and then the loser will unconditionally agree to one condition of the other party, how about that?"

After listening to You Ran's words, Elizabeth thought for a moment, then she was delighted and looked at You Ran quickly, "Servant, are you serious?!"

Then isn't this just a sweet dream that comes for nothing? After all, the mouth is on her, and she doesn't believe that the servants can force her to speak even if she doesn't want to.

When that time comes, she can...

uh~

Elizabeth suddenly blushed.

"Of course, so many people are listening here, I'm not kidding." You Ran didn't think too much about it. After all, he felt that even if he really lost, Elizabeth's request would not be too excessive, not to mention that he felt he had a certain degree of confidence that he could make Elizabeth shout it out.

"Humph! Let's gamble, but don't regret it when the time comes!"

Elizabeth could already begin to envision her happy life a week from now.

"Of course not. Let's confirm again, what is the bet I just mentioned?" You Ran couldn't help but want to tease Elizabeth.

"What's there to be sure of? Isn't it just to see if I can call you Lord?" Elizabeth was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something and quickly covered her mouth. "Stupid, stupid servant! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?! How could I be fooled by such a thing!"

You Ran pretended to be stupid and said, "What are you fooling me about? Elizabeth, what are you talking about?"

"I, humph! I don't think you dare to tease me like this."

Seeing that she seemed to be overthinking, Elizabeth blushed a little.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Sheffield, you can continue."

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" You Ran looked at Elizabeth with some confusion.

"That's it? Servant, you just give up like that? Not going to...try a little longer?"

Ever since she agreed to You Ran, Elizabeth had already imagined countless ways that You Ran might use to make her say those two words, but now that You Ran suddenly ignored her, Elizabeth was a little at a loss, and for some reason she felt a little lost.

Chapter 171 Hum~ My stupid servant finally couldn't hold back anymore

"I'm talking about this week, not this day. There's still a lot of time, take your time." After saying that, You Ran smiled and waved his hand, "Sheffield, go on."

"I understand." After responding, Sheffield turned to the four war-weary people again, "Then what we are going to learn next is a skill that is not a hard requirement for being a royal maid, but basically everyone must master it."

"A skill that a maid must master...?" Littorio was stunned. "What is that?"

"Make tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheffield skillfully took out several sets of tea sets from the ship's equipment and began to place them one by one on the table beside him. Then, after a while, he began to explain the specific method of making tea.

Making tea is something that requires skill and patience, so it is quite time-consuming to learn. The whole afternoon passed quickly, and it was not until near evening that the ship girls finally learned the general idea.

Inside the house, holding a cup of freshly brewed black tea in his hand, You Ran tasted Yi Fan carefully and gradually formed an evaluation in his heart. Looking at Yan Zhan who was full of expectation, You Ran chuckled and encouraged: "Compared with the last time, it has been a great improvement. I didn't expect that you are quite talented in making tea, Yan Zhan."

"Really?!" Yan Zhan cheered in surprise, but when everyone looked over, he quickly scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hehehe~ Actually, Master, you taught me well. I didn't expect that Master could be so proficient in tea art."

She felt so satisfied in her heart that she felt all her hard work for the whole afternoon was worth it. War-weary suddenly understood what Charybdis had said before about the satisfaction of being a maid.

"Master! You should try mine too." Littorio, who had been waiting behind Yan Zhan for a long time, saw that You Ran had finally tasted the black tea brewed by Yan Zhan, and he immediately walked over with his own tea.

"Ding ding~! This cup of rose tea, which is specially decorated with rose petals and is as elegant and shining as me, has captured your taste buds immediately, right?"

Holding the bottom of the cup with one hand, Littorio turned smoothly and gracefully, and placed the black tea in his hand in front of You Ran.

After taking the black tea, You Ran took a sip, and then his expression became complicated: "Well... maybe it does look a little better, but... Littorio, can you tell me, what is the difference in taste between this cup of black tea and the one you brewed before?"

"This, haha." Littorio laughed awkwardly, "Master, don't be so serious. Although tea is tea, it doesn't have to be drunk. There is a saying in Donghuang that goes... "Beautiful, beautiful is delicious!" So as long as this cup of tea can make you feel a little better, it will be successful. As for whether it tastes good or not, that is secondary."

"And Master, you've been drinking black tea all afternoon. Tell me the truth, Master, do you really want to drink more now?"

Perhaps he understood You Ran's thoughts, so Littorio took the opportunity to excuse himself.

"Well, you win. I've been drinking all afternoon. I really don't feel like drinking anymore."

One or two cups a day was fine, but after drinking all afternoon he did get a bit sick of it.

"Huh..." Hearing this, Sheffield sighed helplessly, "Master, if you don't want to drink, just say so. Please don't act like you're enjoying it. Although it's my duty as a maid to read people's expressions, sometimes I really can't figure out what you're thinking, Master."

"So if possible, Master, you can actually do what you want. Don't worry. No matter how much of a pest you appear to be, as a maid, I will still do my best to serve you."

"Yes, yes, I get it. But Sheffield, why do you keep calling me a pest? Do you really want me to show my pest side to you?"

After a whole afternoon of contact, You Ran finally realized that even though Sheffield kept calling him a pest, he actually wanted good for him in his heart and would not refuse any request. How to put it, he was quite like the kind of person who would look at you with disgust.

"Only pests would have such pest-like thoughts." Although his face remained expressionless, You Ran's words still made Sheffield couldn't help but think wildly.

"Actually, I'm not as exaggerated as you say. I just realized it after Littorio said that. Before that, I was actually enjoying it."

You Ran explained it casually. After all, he was also making tea while the ship girls were making it. Although he was already a master of theory and knew all the techniques of making tea by heart, it was still fun to actually try it out.

"But Xie Fei, you are right. It's almost time. Let's have dinner first. It's a good opportunity to taste your cooking skills."

As soon as You Ran finished speaking, Sheffield on the side obviously did not expect the commander to suddenly call him with such an intimate name, so his whole body trembled noticeably.

After You Ran finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong with Sheffield's expression. After a moment's pause, You Ran realized this and then explained, "I heard Charybdis call you that before. Is it okay?"

"Master, you can call me whatever you want. No need to ask for my opinion." With a slightly red face, Sheffield pretended to be indifferent.

"Then I will call you that from now on, Xie Fei~"

It was the first time that he saw such a big fluctuation in Sheffield's expression. You Ran couldn't help but smile and stared at Sheffield. You Ran called him again in a more intimate tone with a very evil sense of humor. Seeing a blush finally appear on Sheffield's face, You Ran stood up with satisfaction and walked towards Elizabeth and Veneto.

Not far away, Elizabeth, who had been daydreaming for the entire afternoon and had fought countless ideological battles in her heart, was cheered up when she saw You Ran finally coming over. She immediately perked up.

Hehe~! My stupid servant, what's the point of suppressing the desire in his heart and not coming to find me for the whole afternoon? Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore, right?

Really, after all this trouble, you're just torturing yourself in the end, so why don't you just come over and accept your true thoughts as soon as possible?

Seeing You Ran getting closer and closer to her, Elizabeth was so happy that she almost stood up with her hands on her hips.

Chapter 172 I want the master to teach me step by step

But soon, Elizabeth's excitement came to an abrupt end, and the smile that she couldn't help but overflow on her face also froze.

Because You Ran just passed her by and walked straight towards Veneto behind her.

Seeing this scene, Elizabeth felt mixed emotions and felt extremely aggrieved, and her eyes were about to fall apart with every blink of her eyes.

"Elizabeth, why are you standing here? Is there something you don't understand?"

You Ran originally wanted to go see what Veneto had been researching all afternoon, but seeing that Elizabeth hadn't moved for a long time, he turned around and asked.

Seeing that You Ran finally remembered her after a long time, Elizabeth was a little angry and didn't want to talk. Seeing that You Ran seemed to be leaving, Elizabeth became anxious and immediately said, "I, I have drunk more black tea than you have eaten potatoes! Servant, don't look down on me!"

Elizabeth regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth, but the words had already been said, and as the queen of the royal family she naturally would not take them back. So although Elizabeth looked proud on the surface, she was actually very scared in her heart, fearing that You Ran would be angry and ignore her.

This is often the case, especially for You Ran. Elizabeth obviously didn't want to say it so harshly, but she didn't know why her attitude changed completely as soon as she opened her mouth. In the end, she could only regret it secretly in her heart.

Elizabeth had thought about changing this situation, but it seemed like it was innate. No matter how determined she was in secret, she always said one thing and meant another in front of You Ran. In addition, it was difficult for other ship girls to talk about this kind of thing, so in the end Elizabeth could only let it go and could only hope in her heart that You Ran would not hate her.

Knowing Elizabeth's personality, You Ran didn't really care. He just smiled and said, "Just because you drink a lot doesn't mean you'll be good at it. Although the tea you make is okay, you still have a lot of room for improvement."

With the help of War-weary, I did taste the black tea brewed by Elizabeth. As for the taste... I can only say that there is a lot of room for improvement.

"Servant, you have never tasted the tea I brewed...how do you know whether it tastes good or not..." Elizabeth felt a little guilty as she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Then I'll have to taste it carefully next time I have the chance."

He just chuckled and didn't say anything. Then You Ran quickly came to Veneto's side. Looking at Veneto who didn't notice him coming and was concentrating on making tea, You Ran didn't step forward to interrupt him.

I have to say, I don't know about other aspects, but Veneto is definitely a serious ship girl. She sat here for the whole afternoon and concentrated on making tea. Apart from that, she did nothing else and didn't even get up.

He didn't know how many sips of War-weary and Littorio's black tea he had tasted. He even tasted Elizabeth's tea twice through War-weary's hand. But he had never tasted a single sip of the tea brewed by Veneto. So it's impossible for you to say that he was really not curious.

"Almost done. Don't wait until the water boils and bubbles. It's just right to pour it out now."

After watching for a while, You Ran saw that Veneto seemed to want to wait until the water boiled completely before pouring it out, so he immediately reminded him.

Hearing this, Veneto on the side was also shocked. Without even having time to speak, he quickly picked up the teapot that was boiling water in front of him, and then poured the water into another preheated porcelain teapot with an exquisite appearance.

"The kettle is too low. Raise your hand a little higher."
