Tiancheng: “Okay, thank you for your help.
Yixian: “No, no…”
With that, Yixian left the room where the commotion was taking place. Miss Hood stood up with a sullen face, and she gently locked up the "Scarlet Fountain" and "Fini Yongxin" that had been caught in the chaos in the room.
"Sister Yixian."
"Ah... it's Susu." Yixian continued with his actions and chuckled, "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah." Su Xin nodded, looking at the pot in front of Yixian where he was frying dishes, "How was your discussion going?"
"......Huh?"
"About my birthday party."
"Ah..." Yixian was stunned, "Do you know everything?"
"I guessed." Su Xin was very confident. "The most special day recently should be my birthday, and you guys usually don't avoid me to get together."
"The most important thing is." Su Xin looked at Yixian who listened to her carefully after finishing the plate, and exposed her biggest flaw, "No one usually goes to Sister Hu De's tea party!"
Chapter 212 Learned New Skills
Now that the ship girls' half-hearted concealment plan has been discovered, they might as well start preparing for the birthday party openly.
Originally they had to worry about how to decorate the port area without being noticed by the commander, but now they can just let Su Xin do it herself.
But to be honest, Su Xin's aesthetic taste in this regard is as always... immature. Just look at the pile of colorful cardboard she is holding, and everyone knows what the port area will look like in the end.
Yixian took a group of restless destroyers to the market to buy ingredients. After all, the last time he asked the children to help make the cake, they got bored after a short while. Maybe they would be happier if he took them out this time.
Portland and Indy were responsible for planning and making all the desserts needed for the birthday party, including a big birthday cake, cookies, chocolates and other snacks for playing.
Originally Helena was worried that the two people might have too much workload, so she thought about going over to help, but Portland pushed her out with a silly smile.
"Hehehe...Indy and I can do it alone! It's not tiring at all! Helena, go do something else, please, please~"
"Ah...is it really possible?" Helena hesitated and looked at Indy behind Portland.
Indianapolis nodded and took out a lot of tissues. "...I will take measures to stop the bleeding..."
Helena watched Portland close the door with a smile on his face, and her uneasiness grew stronger.
"She...won't bleed into the cream, right...?"
Amagi and Shokaku are responsible for inviting other friends. Yubari and Kaga are teachers and they are tied up in teaching duties, so they probably won't be able to come.
Fang Yan was able to come, and even asked if she could bring two ship girls with her. Amagi readily agreed, and she could vaguely hear a child's voice on the other end of the phone asking:
[Can we eat delicious food again? Is there any meat? The kind of meat that is delicious!]
Of course Wu Mu could come, but he also hoped to bring his three ship girls to have a meal. Tian Cheng agreed with a smile, and after a few polite words, he hung up the phone.
"Well...I still have to go to the Military Police Station to meet Ayanami."
"In that case...why don't I go?" Shokaku put away the disappointment he felt because his senior didn't come, and volunteered, "The place isn't far away, so I can ask the Royal Ark if they can come out that day."
"Well... I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Well, I'll trouble you to make the trip."
"Then I'll go now." Xianghe bowed slightly, then went out and headed towards the gendarmerie.
Miss Hood was relatively free. She was in charge of supplying the day's tea, but had nothing to do during the current preparation phase, so she began to stare at Long Island.
Changdao followed Su Xin in decorating the port area, and used her years of experience watching anime at home to add to Su Xin's original "ribbon style".
As time went by, Changdao started to add more clothes.
"What's going on..." Nagashima pulled his coat, "It's chilly, and the air conditioner isn't on..."
Changdao was standing on the table, trimming the ribbons that had already been hung. When she looked around, she suddenly saw Miss Hood staring at her.
"Alas!"
Nagashima was so frightened that he lost control of the scissors in his hand and cut the hanging paper ribbon.
"Ah..." Su Xin looked at the ribbons falling from the ceiling, her expression a little frustrated, "Is it true that I did it too ugly..."
Just as Changdao was about to apologize, he saw Miss Hood standing up not far away with a happy smile on her face.
"Long-Island-!!"
"I, I, I, I didn't mean it! It's all because of you glaring at me that I got so scared that my hands were shaking!"
"Get down here! Do you know what a lady should do? You're wearing too casual clothes, your hair is not done, and you even ruined the decorations that Susu worked so hard to make!"
"I really didn't mean to do that. I'll just fix it... Don't pull your ears, don't pull your ears..."
"Today I will teach you what a royal lady is!&#*$t￥&~@￥6......"
Su Xin looked at Miss Hood, who was scolding people with a lively look on her face, then looked at Changdao, who kept looking at her for help. After thinking for a while, she lowered her head.
"Make another one."
Changdao: "Save me, Susu!!! Ah——I was wrong, I was wrong, don't pull my ears...QA Q"
Since Long Island was arrested, the help came from Cleveland and Phoenix.
Cleveland knows a lot of tricks. She can even use scissors and paper to fold and cut out a "囍" (囍) character. No one knows where she learned this skill from, but Su Xin is amazed.
Phoenix was not convinced, but her skills were limited. After randomly cutting a few corners and spreading it out, she found that the paper had become a torn piece with several holes in it. So she had to follow Su Xin and cut the strips silently.
Cleveland gave the word "囍" to Su Xin, and then began to express himself freely. Su Xin liked this little gift very much, not because of the meaning of the word, but simply because the paper-cut was beautiful.
After a while, the people who had finished decorating the room were ready to go outside. They planned to hang some small lanterns on the street lights. Although it didn't quite fit the theme, at least the decoration function was achieved.
However, the street lights in the port area are a bit high, so Cleveland needs to find a ladder. Although they can climb up with their bare hands, it is still not very convenient.
It happened that not long after Cleveland left, Yixian came back with the children.
When she saw Su Xin, she smiled and waved, then headed towards the restaurant, intending to simply arrange and prepare the ingredients.
The three destroyers ran up to Su Xin with a "patter", and each of them hugged the little commander stickyly.
"Commander, what are you...doing?" Ruyue asked curiously, looking at Su Xin who was holding lanterns in both hands.
"Well...we were going to hang the lanterns, but they were too high, so Sister Cleveland said we had to find a ladder."
Kisaragi: "Oh! I can help you by lifting this up high!"
Su Xin looked at Eldridge in confusion as he stretched out his arms expressionlessly and showed off his uncurved biceps.
She took Su Xin's lantern, unfolded her ship suit, touched the street lamp with two translucent hoses behind her, and then climbed up one by one like some kind of creature. Ruyue was jumping below to cheer her on.
Su Xin: (*°一°*)???
Rafi: "...We just bought some baby octopuses...She..."
In the distance, Changdao, who had just escaped from Miss Hood, saw this unique skill and was so scared that he blurted out an interjection.
"Fuck! Can tentacles be used like this?!"
Miss Hood stared at Long Island: "Hmm? Didn't I just teach you that ladies should always pay attention to the appropriateness of their words?"
"Oh my, don't pull my ears, don't pull my ears... I was wrong, I was wrong QA Q..."
He held the lantern high and hung it up, then he pounced from the top of the lantern into the arms of Su Xin, who had reacted very quickly, and rubbed her with his head raised.
"...to praise..."
"Hmm...Jiu Gaogao is really great, he helped me a lot..."
"...happy."
Amagi stood in the building opposite, looking at this lively and warm scene, a smile revealed to her inadvertently. When she heard the returning Shokaku say that Ayanami would come by then, she felt even more satisfied.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shoukaku, go and rest first, and we can do the rest tomorrow."
"I understand." Xianghe nodded and walked out the door. She decided to go downstairs to see if there was anything she could help with. She always felt something was wrong.
"...Is there something I haven't finished yet?"
ps: Thank you for your concern, I feel better but not completely. I will try to recover in the next few days. I really want to eat instant noodles o(T^To)
Chapter 213 Friends
After most of the preparations were completed, there was nothing left for Su Xin to do. The ship girls often went out, probably preparing their own gifts, so Su Xin was sensible enough not to ask.
On May 20th, Wu Mu came with his family of three.
At that time, Su Xin was sitting on a bench by the roadside reading a book. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. She looked back from the book and found that it was Wu Mu who was smiling ostentatiously.
"How is it? Is the day I came here very memorable?"
Su Xin didn't understand why she said that, but she nodded out of courtesy and looked carefully at this beautiful woman whose temperament was free and easy.
She still had big brown wavy hair, and her slightly classical and dignified facial features were forced into a nonchalant expression. She wore an extremely simple short-sleeved shirt and denim hot pants, revealing her elastic white thighs.
"What's wrong? Are you suddenly attracted by my charm?" Wu Mu raised his eyebrows and blinked at Su Xin in a very artificial way. "No wonder, after all, my sister is naturally beautiful. She looks beautiful in whatever she wears~"
Su Xin was silent after hearing this, looked at Wu Mu who was constantly changing his posture, thought about it and told the truth: "You seem to have gained a little weight?"
Wu Mu paused, her bright expression quickly turned into grief and anger. She put her hands on her waist and looked at Su Xin and said confidently:
"How can a beautiful girl get fat?! Stop talking nonsense, I'm a beautiful girl who doesn't need to go to the toilet and only drinks dew!"
"Then he is not a human being..."
"...This is exaggeration, exaggeration, understand? This is a rhetorical device used to emphasize my beauty, okay!"
"But you did gain some weight..."
"I know!" Wu Mu gritted his teeth, "It's all that Xiong Ye guy's fault. He doesn't let me do anything. Every day I don't have to do anything except eating and sleeping. How can I not be fat?!"
Su Xin looked at Wu Mu's expression and found it very novel. "Don't you like this kind of life?"
“But my waist can’t bear it!”
"What do you mean?" The innocent silly roe deer didn't understand, "Is your waist uncomfortable because you slept too long? Then I suggest you change to a harder mattress."
Wu Mu was furious. He stretched out his hand and pinched Su Xin's cheek and started to pull, "I curse you to become like me in the future! Your port is so big, and there are so many ship girls, hehe... just wait!"
"My creation is very cool, but not too warm..."
"Humph! Why don't you lead the way for your sister? I haven't really seen your port area. It's much bigger than my home. There's even an amusement park. Tsk tsk... That's outrageous."
Su Xin covered her slightly red face and nodded, and obediently took Wu Mu to visit her own port area.
"This is the bathhouse. Ming Miao used Japanese style when decorating it. There is a lot of space inside, and there are some decorations such as stones and green plants. It looks pretty. We come back here occasionally to soak for a while."
"Ah...bath...bathroom."
"...Why are you blushing?"
"No, no, no, you don't have to pay attention to me, just go on your way."
Su Xin was completely confused, so she had to take her to continue shopping, "...This is a warehouse for construction, it seems like it hasn't been used for a long time."
"Hmm...Hamster Party? I understand. I have saved a lot too."
Su Xin would never say that she absorbed all the magic cubes herself. It was good to be misunderstood like this, so that she wouldn't have to spend a lot of time explaining.
"This is the amusement park. It was built by the destroyers. There are many facilities inside."
"Hmm... this is quite novel. I just saw the Ferris wheel. Can I bring my ship girls to play here?"
"Of course." Su Xin nodded, "But the operation of the equipment is managed by the little yellow chickens, and they will charge a small fee."
"Oh, it's nothing." Wu Mu, whose family is very rich, waved his hand to show that he didn't care at all. "It's best if they can have fun."
Su Xin: "I didn't expect you to be so considerate of others... I thought you were the one who always ordered others to do it."
Wu Mu looked at this naive sister who was ignorant of the world, sneered and did not explain.
"This is the restaurant in the port area. Sister Yixian is usually the head chef and is responsible for our meals. Her cooking skills are really good."
"Well... Becky's cooking skills are pretty good too... ah."
Su Xin turned to look at Wu Mu, and then followed her line of sight to the two people standing at the door of the restaurant. They were Xianghe with a smile on his face, and a little girl in cool clothes with golden twin ponytails. She could hear them from a distance.
See the sound of the conversation.
"Oh PP~ The careless commander can't do without Becky's care~"
"Becky is really amazing. I want to ask how does Becky usually take care of your commander?"
