“I think you’re pretty clueless sometimes, too impulsive.” Egil was still a bit speechless about this big boy.

"Let's go check out the naval academy over here first. I'm very curious," Ren Shuo said.

Egil nodded: "Aren't we still waiting for Belfast?"

“I’m all better now…” Belfast’s voice drifted into the room.

Egil suddenly shuddered.

“Belfa, to be honest, ever since you got time stop, you’ve really become unpredictable, it’s kind of scary,” Egil complained.

Ren Shuo and Belfast exchanged a glance: "Really?"

“Commander, you’re used to it, aren’t you?” Egil said.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm going out."

"Oh."

Chapter 571 Next Time Forever

"Commander, Commander, come over here and take a look?"

Once on the street, Egil didn't resemble a mature and composed older woman at all; she was practically a curious little girl.

It's no wonder Egil was so curious; even Ren Shuo and Belfast were quite surprised.

Honestly, looking at the technology in this world, I thought it was very backward, but I didn't expect to see all sorts of things like cell phones and tablets on the streets.

"Could it be that this world's technology tree has gone astray? Has it all been put into civilian applications?"

Ren Shuo and Belfast exchanged a glance.

Egil thought for a moment: "Commander, how about we buy some and take them back to everyone?"

Ren Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's not even as good as Akashi's, why would we buy it?"

"Commander, you buy things based on practicality, but we buy things based on what we want to buy."

Egil was more reasonable.

"That's just how you women are. I can have things at home, but I can't not buy them..."

Ren Shuo was speechless.

Look at the liquor cabinet in St. Louis, the wardrobe in Victory, and the figurine cabinet in Long Island.

It's all the same; many things seem repetitive to Ren Shuo, but he always adds a sentence whenever this topic comes up.

How are they the same? Look at the pattern, look at the length, look at the style, there are very obvious differences, Commander.

Asking Ren Shuo to distinguish the differences between these things is like asking some girls to identify who Ultraman is.

Then it will be "Thank you, First Generation, you're welcome, Jack."

However, this thing is really useless. In Ren Shuo and Belfast's opinion, the design is not as good as the port area's, and the feel and experience are not as good as the port area's.

Buying it would be a complete waste of money.

So Belfast took Egil away.

Egil was a little annoyed, but he quickly put it out of his mind and went off to get coffee beans for Mainz.

Coffee beans from another world are very appealing.

"It's supposed to be just the two of us going out today, right? Egil is just tagging along, isn't he?"

Belfast was somewhat bewildered by Egil's shopping spree.

Ren Shuo was also baffled: "Could it be that you abused the child in the port area before? So you're here to retaliate by spending money?"

In short, Ren Shuo and Belfast found Egil's actions somewhat unpredictable.

"By the way, Master, should we buy some snacks to take back? The Fletcher squad will need these when they come back to rest after their shift tonight."

Belfast said.

Ren Shuo nodded: "You've thought of everything... Egil, have you bought everything? Let's go buy some snacks."

As soon as she finished speaking, Egil ran back, carrying nothing in her hands. Because of the ship girl's ship equipment space, it was impossible to tell how much she had bought.

But looking at Egil's guilty expression, Ren Shuo felt like the veins on his forehead were about to burst.

How much did you buy?

"Not many..."

"How much is 'not much'?"

"Twenty or thirty pounds of coffee beans..."

"anything else?"

"There are still fifty pounds of cocoa beans left..."

“You… never mind, come and buy supplies.” Ren Shuo glared at Egil.

Belfast called out, "Egil!"

"Coming, coming." Egil quickly left this troublesome place for the time being.

Ren Shuo looked at the various unfamiliar items on the shelf and found them quite novel.

"These must be the potato chips we have back home?"

"Behind Ren Shuo," Belfast said.

“Belfast? Aren’t you with Egil?” Ren Shuo turned around and saw Belfast smiling.

“Egil went to select the children to refine your things. I was worried about my master, so I came over.”

Ren Shuo was taken aback, then felt Belfast's meaningful gaze, and turned his head slightly to see a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a long white dress who looked very pure and holy.

Moreover, that woman seemed to be different as well. Her unusual elf ears, combined with her temperament, made it clear at a glance that she was a ship girl.

“She has been following us all the way.”

Belfast said in the mental network.

Ren Shuo remained silent, communicating with Belfast via the mental network.

Why are you following us?

"It's not clear yet, but rest assured, Egil has taken note and can come over at any time."

Belfast wasn't worried at all about Ren Shuo following him. Putting aside his own strength, he was probably the strongest in this world. At the very least, he could use time stop to take Ren Shuo away.

In short, nothing will happen.

As for the enemy, if they also have time-stopping abilities, they might be a formidable type of ship girl...

Then we'll show her what a nesting doll is like; Belfast's time stop also contains Ren Shuo's time stop.

"Should we just be direct?" Ren Shuo asked.

Belfast, however, said, "I think it's possible."

As they discussed this, Belfast casually approached the girl who appeared to be selecting merchandise, while also glancing at the stalker out of the corner of her eye.

Her long, flowing golden hair cascaded down her back, and her head was simply tied up with a white lace ribbon. Combined with her angelic face and holy aura, she looked like an angel.

Her eyes, as blue as the ocean, seemed to speak volumes, brimming with life.

From the side, her curvaceous figure is captivating, and her white dress appears quite conservative, concealing her swan-like elegant neck and her snow-white skin.

She is an absolute beauty.

Even Belfast, who was used to seeing all the stunning beauties in the port area, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

It's not just her exquisite appearance, but also her pristine aura that's absolutely captivating.

"Greetings, miss. What a coincidence, I've seen you several times."

Belfast wore a polite smile, as if she were talking to an old friend she hadn't seen in years.

"Greetings, Miss Heroine," a gentle voice, as soft as poetry, came from the other person's small mouth.

"The female lead?" Belfast frowned.

"Heroic epics are usually accompanied by romantic love stories, so isn't it normal for there to be a female protagonist?"

Although the two were talking, it was as if they were selecting goods, more like two old friends who had bumped into each other in a supermarket and were chatting casually.

"It seems our master is quite lucky. The shops they visited today are all very much in line with the local people's lifestyle, so there shouldn't be any worries about the quality of the goods."

Belfast said casually.

After all, we've encountered you, this "local," quite a few times.

"Yes, these shops are where locals buy daily necessities. They're good quality and inexpensive, so you can buy with confidence. But since the female protagonist said that, she's probably not a local, right? Is she here as a tourist? Or did she move here?"

Her tone remained gentle, but a subtle light flickered in her azure eyes.

“They’re here on a trip,” Belfast said.

"Travel?" The girl was taken aback. "Travel is great. There are very few people in this world who are willing to travel these days."

"Well then, goodbye for today. I've picked out what I need, so I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again sometime." The girl smiled slightly and then took her leave.

Belfast politely watched the girl leave, and only after she was out of sight did he turn his gaze away and walk to Ren Shuo's side.

Egil has returned with a basket filled with things for the children.

"How did it go?" Ren Shuo asked.

“We had a brief exchange,” Belfast said. “That person should be the ‘high-ranking official’ who will be visiting us in the next two days.”

"How exactly are you guys communicating? I always feel like you're just chatting about everyday things," Ren Shuo asked.

Belfast, however, wore a mysterious smile and remained silent.

Instead, Egil couldn't help but explain, "Look, with the current state of this world, how could there still be travel? Her question is really just about our reality and illusion; I don't know the specific meaning either. I'm not the one who uses my brain..."

"I guess it's because the spatial barriers of this world aren't very stable, so it's possible that people from other worlds have visited it?"

Belfast expressed some uncertainty.

“I see… No wonder Akashi was able to send people over so quickly,” Ren Shuo said.

"Alright, since they are high-ranking members of this world, they will definitely come looking for us later. We've finished shopping, let's go home."

Ren Shuo gave his final summary.

"Yes, Master."

"Understood, Commander."

…………

"Commander, let me tell you, the seabed in this world is really interesting, and there are many creatures that don't exist in our world."

After returning home, U556, who was resting after her shift, sat directly in Ren Shuo's lap and happily shared her experiences at the bottom of the sea.

"Really? Did you have fun?"

Ren Shuo remained silent, but Bismarck suddenly asked a question.

"I'm so happy, boss lady, let me tell you..."

As U556 was speaking, she realized something was wrong, and stiffly turned around, only to see Bismarck with a somber expression.

Bismarck and Tirpitz brought a pack of wolves with them to patrol and ensure the smooth progress of the mining operation.

Then, he returned to rest with the men who had changed shifts, while Tirpitz and the rest of the wolf pack patrolled... But what did U556 say?

Did they run off to play while on patrol?

“You’ve got some nerve,” Bismarck sneered. “Come here.”

U556 suddenly grabbed Ren Shuo's arm, refusing to come out: "Big Sister, let me explain!"

Meanwhile, U47 quietly found an inconspicuous corner to hide in, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
