Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Unlike the experience of the team led by Horn, the Rhodes Island Office in Hill County is filled with a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Several Rhodes Island operators are working at their seats... or maybe they are just daydreaming?

After all, I sat there for a long time without even opening the book in my hand.

However, Beichen and Outcast were not in the Rhodes Island office at this time. There were only a few other operators stationed in the office in the room.

dong dong.

There was a sudden knock on the door and an operator yawned. His workstation was closest to the door, so it was natural that he was responsible for opening the door.

If this happened in school, he would probably be honored as the door god.

(After all, a certain author is the door god of the dormitory. Not only the door, but also the switch of the dormitory light is next to the author's bed)

The seat turned half a circle and he twisted the door handle in a stretching posture.

"Please come in."

The door was opened, but before anyone was seen, an enthusiastic voice came in from outside the door.

The operator who had just stretched to open the door now couldn't help but straighten his waist, looking full of energy.

"Good morning, everybody! It's a lovely day today, isn't it, Uncle Oliver?"

A young girl carrying a basket - she looked quite young - walked directly into the Rhodes Island office.

There was a smile on her face, and even people who saw her for the first time would be involuntarily attracted by her smile.

Of course it’s not just because of her beauty!

Although her appearance is attractive enough, the most attractive thing is her manners, which seem to be too elegant.

"It's you. I was wondering, who else would come here and knock on the door so early in the morning? But it's obviously a cloudy day today, how can it be good weather?"

I glanced out the window and saw that the sky was overcast, but I've been working here for so long that I'm used to this kind of weather.

Although the operator called Uncle Oliver complained, a smile soon appeared on his face.

"As long as it doesn't rain, it's good weather. This is in Xiaoqiu County. Besides, how do you know if it will clear up in a while?"

What does this mean? Are you mocking my Empire, where the sun never sets, that there are almost no sunny days all year round? (Great Britain is furious)

"Okay, I can't beat you."

Oliver shook his head helplessly, then shouted at another operator who was still pretending to process documents in the back.

"Hey, Shredder, stop dawdling. There are no customers. It's just little Jenny who's slacking off every day."

(Jenny, also known as Qin Liu, but this code name was given to her after she joined Rhodes Island, and it is different from bagpipes and horns)

(So ​​do you feel the city is falling apart?)

By the way, the operator code name "Shredder" is also quite abstract.

"Today I brought everyone banana toffee pies and shortbread. Last week my father sent me some tea, so I brought that too."

Jenny opened the lid of the basket. Just hearing the description was enough to make the operators sitting in the office start drooling, not to mention the aroma that filled the entire room.

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Oliver, do you have any evaporated milk left?"

Jenny suddenly remembered and asked.

"Well......."

Oliver was stunned for a moment. The Shredder who came over glared at him and then accused him.

"It's already grown hair, he just didn't remember to buy it."

Of course, it's just a joke.

"Damn it, it's clearly your turn to buy it, did I remember it wrong?"

Oliver argued angrily, pulling in the other two people who were there to watch the show.

"Fred! Will! You two can say something too!"

"Okay, okay, it's not worth arguing over such a small matter."

Although she could see that they were just joking, Jenny still tried to smooth things over and took out a lot of things from the basket.

"Look, what is this? It's fresh evaporated milk and cheese. I bought it when I passed by the morning market. I'm giving it to you first. Also, I've wanted to try making milk tea for a long time. I think at least Uncle Oliver would like it."

Oliver rolled his eyes at his colleagues and sighed, "Ah, little Jenny is the most considerate. Will, I hope you can learn from her and at least don't grow up to be like the guy next to you code-named Shredder. His character is so bad, tut tut tut..."

“This shortbread tastes really good.”

"I feel so too."

Will and Shredder already have a cookie in each hand, so what about Oliver? Just go away for now.

"Hey, you two! Leave some for me!"

Ignoring Oliver who started shouting, Will wiped his mouth, looked at Jenny with some confusion and asked.

"Miss Willow, won't you be punished by your superiors for running out like this every day to bring us breakfast?"

The shredder next to him also thought of this problem and said to himself.

"That's true. The rules of the Victorian Army are quite strict."

"Ah... Well, don't worry about that. I'm just a ceremonial guard. If there's no important event or recruitment propaganda, I won't be of any use. The sergeant won't even think of me at ordinary times."

If Beichen were here, he would probably be very confused.

After all, in his impression, the ceremonial guards are selected from tens of thousands, and it is not an adequate description to say that they are selected from one out of a hundred thousand.

But it might be a little different here in Victoria... How can it be okay that the guards of honor are just treated as mere decorations?

"Besides, it's not like I don't have any work to do."

Jenny proudly unfolded what she had in her hand. It was a flag, the flag that symbolized Victoria.

"The first thing I do every morning when I get up is take the flag down from the stand, and while I wait for the flour to ferment and the coffee to brew, I iron the wrinkles out of the flag bit by bit."

Jenny continued as she stroked the flag.

"After baking the shortbread, I have to rinse the flour off myself. It takes time for my hair to dry, so this is the perfect time to take care of the flagpole and make it shine like new."

As Oliver listened to her description, he couldn't help but focus his attention on the flag in Jenny's hand, and didn't notice the boiling hot tea in his cup at all.

If you drink this, your mouth will probably be covered with bubbles.

The degree to which a person values ​​the national flag directly reflects how much he values ​​his motherland.

But...is Victoria worthy of her love at this moment?

"Uncle Oliver, please don't touch the cup yet. It's still hot."

"Ah, thank you."

Oliver put down the cup and was about to take another shortbread when he suddenly noticed that there was a lot less food on the plate.

"Damn, you guys eat so fast."

"Huh? You're not ashamed to say that. Did you steal my pie?"

Just as the two began to argue about who ate the most, no one noticed that there was less food on the plates, and the plate with toffee pie was even empty.
