Chapter 94 02.0094: "Date A Live (Part )"

Horatio arrived at Major General Hood's residence as promised. Unlike the last time when he came secretly, this time he was dressed in a military uniform with four shining medals and a golden eagle ribbon hanging on his chest.

In recognition of his heroic rescue, the Navy Department awarded him the "Scarlet Skull" Medal.

The red-clad guard at the door checked his ID and saluted him solemnly before letting him pass.

He parked the car in front of the main residence, had the butler open the door, got out of the car alone, and then the butler drove the car into the garage.

There were three people standing at the gate in front of him, all of whom were familiar to him.

"Good day, Mr. Hood, and..." He looked at the girl next to the major general: "Miss Hood."

Major General Hood wore a neat general's uniform, not because Horatio came today, but because he was like this every day, always maintaining his honor and dignity as a soldier.

The blonde girl who looked like a canary smiled gracefully, with bright and attractive lip gloss on her lips. She was wearing a gorgeous black and red dress, and her beautiful and smooth blonde hair was styled into two layered short curly ponytails.

She wore a lace hat tilted on her head, her well-proportioned and slender legs were wrapped in black suspender stockings, and she wore high-heeled leather shoes with silk-edged bows on the ankles. She was beautiful and charming, and at the same time, she had a hint of sexy charm and gentle arrogance.

This was the first time Horatio saw Farida like this. He raised his eyebrows with a smile, feeling a little curious.

"Mr. Horatio, long time no see. Ah, maybe I should call you Mr. Sergeant Major now?" Farida stuck out her tongue playfully.

[I haven't seen this girl for a while, and she seems like a different person.]
"You can call me whatever you want," Horatio replied with a smile.

"Please come in, Sergeant Horatio, we can talk about the mission while we eat." Although Major General Hood's tone was the same as usual, he no longer put on airs like he did in the Navy Department office.

As the waiter brought the basin of water, Horatio looked into Farida's eyes and, knowingly, repeated the etiquette she had taught him perfectly and calmly.

"You look like a true noble now." Farida watched his every move and said with the fork against her pink lips.

"You taught me well." Horatio picked up his knife and fork.

The meal began, and as they ate and chatted, Horatio discovered that Farida's maid was also sitting next to her.

Seeing Horatio looking at her, Farida proudly introduced: "Lina is the daughter of Captain Elphinstone. She grew up with me."

Horatio was not surprised by this, as the maids of noble girls were usually lower-ranking nobles.

"As the Fleet Military Intelligence Command becomes increasingly busy, I have transferred Farida from the Ministry of Justice to the Imperial Navy. She will accompany you in the future and provide you with all the support you need. Lina will also follow her father and be responsible for providing you with intelligence support. They will all be your colleagues in the future work."

"Understood, Lord Hood." Horatio nodded.

"If I remember correctly, your surveillance location today is the B-1 giant commercial building in Vegas. Farida will go with you."

"Huh?" Horatio uttered a small questioning sound.

"I am your operations partner today, Sergeant Horatio. We haven't been partners for a while. Please bear with me."

"..."

Horatio said nothing, and gave Major General Hood a look that said, 'Are you serious?'

The major general chewed his steak, ignored Horatio's gaze, and continued, "Farida will not hold you back. On the contrary, she will be a pair of good wings that will make you even more powerful."

Horatio could see that his expression was clearly saying, "I haven't beaten your father in battle, so why can't my daughter beat you?"

"Thank you very much, General." Horatio said with a wry smile.

Seeing Horatio's reluctant expression, Farida curled her lips, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and snorted, "Please wait and see, Sergeant Major."

Horatio looked at Lina for help, and Lina simply closed her eyes, her attitude clear.

Finally Horatio sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "I will take good care of the young lady."

Major General Hood nodded with satisfaction: "Just drive mine."

After dinner, Farida couldn't wait to take Horatio to her father's car.

"I think it's your turn to drive this time?" Farida tilted her head and hinted to Horatio.

"of course."

The hovercraft slowly took off and headed for the most upscale commercial complex on the entire planet.

The entire building is in Gothic style and shaped like twin towers, but the main structure adopts luxurious Baroque style. It looks magnificent rather than rigidly solemn, and its purpose is clear at a glance - a place for rich people to entertain themselves.

"It is said that there is nothing here that you can't imagine." Farida said comfortably while enjoying the breeze blowing across her face.

After she put her long black silk legs together, she leaned towards Horatio playfully, less than 10 centimeters away from his hand on the gearshift. The absolute area between the black straps of her stockings and her snow-white thighs was faintly visible as she twisted her legs.

The girl's blue eyes would glance at his face from time to time to see how he reacted.

But Horatio drove with the same intense concentration as he steered a battleship, not looking anywhere unnecessary.

"Really... Then next time I come here, I'll investigate whether there are any heretical behaviors that threaten the Imperial Navy." Horatio narrowed his eyes alertly.

"?" Farida raised her eyebrows and looked at Horatio strangely.

"Well, it seems that your sense of humor has decreased after not seeing you for a while, but it's okay, I will help you recover."

Horatio smiled and said, "So, Miss Hood, you came out this time just to go shopping, right?"

"Who... who said that! You can have both. There's no need to separate life and mission so closely." Seeing that she was exposed by Horatio's words, Farida's cheeks turned red instantly.

Horatio smiled, she did bring a high-powered rifle in the trunk.

Horatio was wearing a gorgeous navy uniform. It seemed normal to wear such clothes in such a high-class place. After all, those cannibalistic cultists would not give up just because there were navy soldiers shopping here.

According to intelligence, cultists were suspected of launching the first wave of terrorist attacks today, and he was responsible for supervising and defeating the attackers who came to the B-1 commercial complex.

He was confident about this, after all, he had already dealt remotely with his "old acquaintance" in the Legal Department in advance.

Horatio deliberately parked his car near the reservation, which was an ordinary underground parking lot, and the luxury car he was driving should have been parked in the VIP position.

But his intelligence intercepted that the attackers would enter the building of the B-1 commercial complex from this underground parking lot and place thermal bombs, which would collapse the building and cause heavy casualties.

Horatio stepped his shiny leather boots onto the ground and walked over to Farida and opened the car door for her. "Please, miss."

Farida had a slight smile on her lips, her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings stretched out of the car, her high heels making clicking sounds on the ground.

"Come on, 'officer'." She took Horatio's arm, and through the uniform he could feel her extremely elastic and soft natural touch. Horatio instinctively wanted to pull away, but she held him tightly.

[? ]
“Isn’t that what a gentleman does when he accompanies a lady shopping?
You are responsible for protecting my safety~ "Battleship Savior" Sergeant Horatio." She blinked her almond eyes, raised a beautiful smile with a girlish mind, and chuckled.

"Okay, but only today." Horatio couldn't do anything with her, so he smiled bitterly and raised a finger in response.

"You are so stingy."

Horatio smiled and said nothing more, pressing the elevator button.

He had a communication device in his ear and a neural plug behind his head connected to a tiny receiver, so no matter what he was doing, it would not affect the mission.

The work of sorting and diverting intelligence was handled by Captain Elphinstone and his daughter Lina.

Along the way, Horatio met many naval officers. Although they did not know each other, they were all in the navy, so they saluted each other to show respect.

At first, they just glanced casually at the young sergeant, but they were more attracted by the elegant and beautiful girl who was standing next to him with her arm around him.

When these officers gradually saw the identity of the woman accompanying the young man, they were all dumbfounded.

This girl turned out to be the famous naval beauty, the jewel in the crown of all stars - Miss Farida Hood.

The only daughter of the Imperial Navy's rear admiral who was said to be about to be promoted to vice admiral.

When did this proud young lady have a man holding her arm?!

At the same time, the row of shining medals on Horatio's chest also attracted the attention of many female officers.

When they asked their partners whether they had all these honors in the hope of competing with them, almost all the young lieutenants smiled bitterly with shame.

They knew very well that for a man who could have Miss Hood holding his arm, his starting point was already the end point for many others.

Not to mention that he still looks so young and has an immeasurable future.

As a result, many officers with higher ranks than Horatio even smiled and took off their hats to salute the two young beauties in their prime.

Farida, holding Horatio's arm, was like a star on a tour, smiling and waving in return. She enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

But soon, like all women, she bid farewell to ceremonial socializing and headed straight for high-end tailor shops.

The waiter inside diligently promoted and displayed the most expensive, fashionable and elegant clothing accessories and handmade leather bags in the store to this wealthy young lady from a prominent family.

The lowest price starts at one million, and even tens of millions is just the average unit price consumed by this noble lady.

Even though the price was high, to her it was just a matter of signing her name and stamping her seal on a check.

Horatio sat directly on the soft sofa, crossed his arms and legs, and began to monitor the intelligence.

Suddenly, he saw two familiar figures, stood up and walked out.

"Miss Perroux, you are here too." Horatio greeted Miss Thei Perroux first, then turned to the girl with an Asian face: "And Miss Yin."

Both of them were dressed well today. Miss Peru wore a white floral lace pleated skirt, like a plump cream cake. Her legs were wrapped in white stockings, and on her feet were white girlish-style leather shoes with white bows tied at the ankles. In her hand, she carried a delicate and small pure white leather bag.

She was dressed in the most fashionable clothes, yet still reflected her natural girlish purity.

Yin Shuyao, who was traveling with her, was not dressed as gorgeously as Miss Peru.

She was wearing a sky blue long plain dress and small leather shoes of the same color. You could tell they were all new and they fit her well with her nice figure.

The two were followed by two maids and six navy red-coat guards holding guns. As the daughter of a brigadier general, the travel ceremony was just right, ensuring safety without being pretentious.

"Mr. Cochrane!?" Yin Shuyao didn't expect to meet Horatio in this situation and was a little at a loss.

Miss Perroux, on the other hand, seemed calm and composed: "Mr. Cocoron is here too, what a coincidence, would you like to go shopping with us two ladies?"

"I'm on a mission." Horatio declined. "Why are you two together?"

"Yin Shuyao is the junior who was admitted this year. Our family sponsors a civilian student to attend Plymmorp Girls' College every year. Miss Yin is our candidate this year. Her grades are the highest in the class. I like to make friends with smart people." Tei covered his mouth and laughed.

Horatio looked at this delicate 15-year-old junior schoolmate, who was calling Yin Shuyao, who was only or years old, her junior schoolmate. He always felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Carrying out a mission?" Thei tilted his head, looking a little confused.

"It's not safe here today. Ladies, please go back as soon as possible." Horatio said tactfully.

"It would be so safe to have a handsome soldier like you accompany us, right?"

Thei looked at Yin Shuyao beside her with a smile, then took Horatio's arm and moved closer.

A soft and elastic touch squeezed Horatio's upper arms.

"Okay~ Please send it directly to my residence. Don't forget to print the greeting card with gold. It's a gift for St. Gilles' Day."

Farida signed the check gracefully, blew the ink dry, and walked out of the store in a happy mood.

She bought herself a complete set of gorgeous accessories and clothes. The maid measured her body and made a one-to-one custom-made outfit according to her choice of style, which took quite some time to deliver to her house.

She also bought a diamond bow tie for her father, Major General Hood.

Also, a St. Guinness Day gift for a man who looked reluctant to go shopping with a beauty like me.

She had already imagined in her mind the scene of Horatio crying after receiving the gift, and being grateful that someone who cared about him gave him a gift on the holiday.

Just as she walked out of the tailor shop triumphantly, looking for Horatio with a smirk on her face.

But the next moment, she saw Horatio being hugged by another noble girl with a voluptuous figure and beautiful face.

Farida's pupils suddenly dilated, and the air around her seemed to freeze in an instant.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Farida Hood? Nice to meet you. Are you shopping as well? What a coincidence~"

After seeing Farida, Thei still had a smiling look on his face, and shouted to Farida who was standing not far away in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

It was as if a layer of lightning, thunder, and violent storms had been torn apart between the girl in black and white stockings, invisible to others.
