"So this is the commander's world …."
The vampire squinted her eyes at the Tendo Temple in front of her. She raised her hand and stretched her body.
"The scenery looks pretty good. I like it!"
"But … .why are there only children here …."
Rodney looked around curiously. Although the whole street was lively, whether it was the staff in the shops or the pedestrians talking and laughing on the street, they were all little girls who looked less than ten years old. Because of this, she and Gao Xiong had attracted the attention of many children along the way.
"It's really strange …."
Gao Xiong also felt it was a little strange. Although the Sea Mists were not familiar with humans, they still had a certain understanding of human society. According to the information about humans that the Sea Mists had downloaded from the internet in their world, humans would generally only start working after they matured, which was the so-called adulthood. Their young bodies would then learn knowledge and skills in places called schools.
Of course, this was a very time-consuming method for the Sea Mists. They could obtain information through "concept transmission" and "data transmission", so they naturally wouldn't be interested in such a backward information-gathering method.
At that moment, a soft voice rang out beside the Sea Mists.
"Excuse me …. Are you the sisters of the Royal Fleet?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, everyone turned to look, only to find a girl with blonde shoulder-length hair standing not far in front of them, wearing a dark green dress. She looked to be about eight or nine years old. Her eyes were half-closed, and she seemed to be half-asleep, as if she was sleepwalking.
"I'm Iona, the flagship of the Royal Fleet."
At this moment, Iona also stepped forward and greeted the girl in front of her. The girl smiled when she heard Iona's answer.
"Ah …. As expected, I guessed it when I saw a big sister I didn't know …. Ah, big brother Fangzheng asked me to take you to the Guardian's Mansion …. That's the home of the big sisters. Please follow me …."
As she spoke, the girl turned around and walked forward. But after two steps, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and lowered her head at the crowd.
"Ah …. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tina, Tina Sprout. Big sisters, just call me Tina. Now then …. Let's go …. "
"Haa …"
The Sea Mists couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as they gazed at the young lady's swaying steps as though she was sleepwalking. Then, they followed behind her and walked along the street.
"That's the shop, that's the restaurant … Ah, there's also a fast food restaurant. Big sisters, if you want to eat, you can come here. That's the cat restaurant. There's so much food that we can't finish …"
As the number of cursed children increased, the number of houses in the Tendo Temple also increased. However, most of the cursed children lived in the school, so other than the dormitory, the streets were mostly filled with shops.
Originally, Fangzheng wanted to exchange for some shops in other worlds, but he decided to only exchange for the storefront and leave the rest to the Cursed Children. After all, not all of these children wanted to go to the battlefield. Many of their future dreams were actually very ordinary, such as opening a small shop, growing flowers, being a fashion designer or a baker.
So, Fangzheng finally decided to exchange for some storefronts and let the children run them. Of course, these raw materials and materials were all transported from the Shana world. If the cursed children wanted to rent the storefront and buy the materials, they would have to pay with points.
Similarly, if the cursed children wanted to buy the things in the store, they would have to do the same.
But it wasn't good to always "import" raw materials from other worlds. In fact, the interior of the Tendo Temple had become self-sufficient. For example, in the "Cradle Garden", there was a greenhouse specially used to grow vegetables and flowers. Some cursed children who liked farming joined the gardening and agriculture departments, then sold the crops here to the cursed children who opened flower shops and food shops in the Tendo Temple. Although it was a very simple beginning, for those children who could only live in the sewers without knowing if they would have a future or not, it was already a very happy and normal life.
The Guardian's Mansion where the Sea Mists lived was not too far from the "dock", so it was very conspicuous. Compared to the European style buildings with yellow bricks and red tiles around it, the building called the Guardian's Mansion was pure white. It was a three-storey rectangular vertical building. It looked solemn and dignified from the outside.
"This is the home of big sisters …. When there are more people in the future, big brother Fangzheng will build new buildings for all of you …."
Hina said while looking up with a smile. The Sea Mists also widened their eyes curiously and stared at the Guardian's Mansion in front of them.
"This is our …. home?"
Although they often heard the word "home" from humans, it was still a rather new word to their mental models.
"Home …. In human language, it's a place where you live with your family …."
Musashi, who had been standing quietly at the side with her eyes closed, said in a low voice. Then, she looked at Hina.
"Does father live here too?"
"…. Big brother Fangzheng?"
Hina was slightly taken aback by how Musashi addressed her, but she did not think too much about it in her muddled state. She just shook her head.
"If it's Brother Fangzheng, you live there. Me, Sister Nimfu, and the others also live there …"
"Then I want to live there too …."
"Wait a minute, Musashi!"
Just as Musashi was about to turn around and leave, the vampire beside her grabbed her hand.
"Don't even think about running away. I'm the secretary ship this month!"
"But isn't home a place where family lives together in human cognition? I'm father's daughter, so isn't it normal for father and daughter to live together? "
"Not at all! You're just saying that! If that's the case, then I'll say that too! "
"Hah …."
Hina blinked as she watched the argument between the vampire and Musashi. She looked at Lodney in confusion.
"Big sister, what's the secretary ship they're talking about …."
"That's the rule of the Royal Fleet."
Facing Tina's question, Lodney revealed a bitter smile and explained.
"The secretary ship is the Commander's assistant. It mainly deals with the internal affairs of the Royal Fleet and some resource allocation, as well as notifying and assigning attack orders for the Commander …. Originally, the Commander appointed Iona to be the secretary ship. But because everyone wants to be close to the Commander, they decided to draw lots every month to decide who will be the Commander's secretary ship …. "
"Is it that good to be a secretary ship?"
"Of course, because if you become a secretary ship, you can be with the Commander 24/7."
"Oh … I see …."
