Yubari shook his head. "I just wanted to do my job well. It was a unilateral decision on their part. By the time I heard the rumor, everyone in the school knew about it."
Su Xin was not very good at dealing with human relationships. She tilted her head to look at the well-educated Yixian. Yixian also felt that this matter was not easy to resolve and shook his head.
Su Xin spoke again, "So you're competing to see who can come up with the research results first?"
"….They are the ones who want to compete. What's the point of competing? No matter who succeeds first, isn't it progress?"
The young commander asked knowingly, "Is it about the problem of the ship girl's breakthrough?"
Yubari sighed, "You knew? That's right, it's spread all over the place."
"Do you need my help?"
Yubari was stunned when he heard that and started to stammer. Su Xin didn't ask any more questions, but just stretched out her hand towards Yubari. In an instant, a big fluffy tail came over naturally.
Yubari was stunned when she saw her tail moving on its own. She wanted to retract it, but she was defeated by the comfort of the little conductor using his fingers as a comb to smooth her fur.
Su Xin gently stroked the tail and whispered, "The hair on the teacher's tail is all tangled together."
"Well... I'm busy..."
"My dark circles are much heavier too."
Yubari looked at the girl who lowered her head and pursed her lips. "I want to finish my research early and do what I want to do."
"Is that so..." The little conductor, who had only learned a little from TV dramas, didn't notice it at all, "You really don't need my help?"
"Well... I really want to, but this is a research topic, you know... it can't be leaked."
"Okay, can I come more often to remind you to rest? If you keep working so hard, your body might not be able to bear it."
"...How could the ship girl not be able to hold on?"
"But research efficiency will also decrease, right?"
“This… this is…”
"So can I come? It won't affect your research, and I won't look around. Besides, I don't understand these things. 99
"Um... this..."
Yubari still looked very hesitant. The little commander pinched the tip of his tail with his other hand with evil intentions. Yubari, who had been squinting his eyes in enjoyment, suddenly shivered and the words in his mouth came out at once.
"Come, come, come every day!" "Then come every few days."
Commander Su smiled and said, "Since the teacher has asked me to do so, I will come and urge you to rest every day, right?"
"Eh? No, no, no, I mean you only need to come once every few days. You don't have to come every day."
"But you just told me to come here every day, right, Sister Yixian?"
Yixian selectively ignored Commander Su's small gesture of pinching his tail, and nodded very impartially, "Indeed, just now Teacher Yubari hoped that Su Su would come here every day."
"Oh, this... I..." Yubari bit her lip, feeling the slight numbness from her tail all the way through her body and to her head, making her whole body feel weak.
"Okay...Okay, then come on."
Commander Su was very satisfied. He patted the straightened tail and withdrew his hand as Yubari looked reluctant.
"I'll come again tomorrow."
Chapter 231: Improved but not Completely Improved
Like Fang Yan who was still in class, Su Xin returned to her recurring life.
Every day she would eat breakfast made by Yixian at home, take little Ruyue to play with Yudachi at school, then change course and take breakfast to find Yubari, urging the researcher who slept on the floor to eat.
Although Yubari had a lot of wealth, she herself did not take it very seriously. When she did her research, she basically used boiled water and oil cans. She drank hot water when she was thirsty and swallowed oil when she was hungry. It was incredibly simple.
The reason why Commander Su brought breakfast was not to lower the other party's defense, but simply because she felt that skipping breakfast would affect the body. Her relationship with Yubari was not so close that she needed to use breakfast to show her sincerity.
Yixian would always accompany Su Xin there. He would wait for her to deliver breakfast and watch her finish her meal. After Yubari, who had been studying all night, went to sleep, he would follow Su Xin's instructions to go somewhere else.
After going back to cook at noon, he came over to wake up Yu Zhang. The three of them ate the food prepared by Yi Xian together without talking much. After eating, they packed up and left, leaving the space to Yu Zhang who needed to continue research. They came again in the evening.
trip.
Su Xin didn't feel that she was being too formal or that delivering meals was too cumbersome. After all, it was more like a kind of silent companionship for a friend. Yubari was always deeply moved, and every time they had a meal, there was a layer of determination in his eyes.
At other times, Su Xin would take Yixian to attend classes, such as light patrol classes, artillery classes, and evasion skills classes. Although Yixian didn't say it, he was actually very grateful to his little commander in his heart, so he always listened carefully.
Su Xin had actually heard of them all. When she was in school, she attended classes everywhere and listened to most of the courses that KanColle had to take. Now she only listened to new things when they came up. The rest of the time she was helping Yixian take notes.
Yixian was very embarrassed, but the little conductor insisted on helping. She thought this was the most efficient way to learn. She listened to the class once and reviewed the notes after class. So every class, the little conductor would pick out the key points and write them on a thick notebook.
On the notebook.
Several times, the strangers sitting next to me expressed their envy of Yixian for having such a good destroyer sister. When they learned that she was the commander, they were shocked.
Every ship girl who learned the truth would carefully look at the little girl who was concentrating on writing, and then silently raise her own requirements for choosing a commander.
Commander Su didn't know all this, and Yixian wouldn't tell her. He just felt proud of her and satisfied with himself in his heart.
There are always limited courses suitable for Yixian in a day, and Su Xin will take Yixian to other classes during the rest of the time.
Sometimes when she met Fang Yan who happened to have classes, or the three little girls, Kisaragi, Shigure and Yudachi, who were taking classes together, she would sit with them for a while, occasionally saying a few key points. After a while, she actually became a little famous in the group of ship girls.
Popular.
Su Xin had originally planned to visit Kaga often, but after she went there once with Yixian and witnessed Xianghe, who was frustrated in teaching, running to Kaga to find fault with him, she gave up the idea.
The atmosphere was filled with too much tension, but she couldn't possibly persuade Xianghe to go back. How could she resolve the long-standing obsession with just a few words?
Shokaku often said in a sarcastic tone that Kaga was not standard in some way or was incorrect in some way, and then when he went on stage to demonstrate, Kaga repeatedly pointed out his mistakes.
Wow, the students love watching this, and the teaching quality is much higher than before.
Ming Miao has been going out early and coming back late every day recently, and no one knows where she goes to hang out every day. Until one day, she ran to Su Xin excitedly, took out a document and asked Su Xin to sign it.
The young commander took a quick look and the gist was: he agreed that his own ship girls could set up stalls outside, obey the supervision of the gendarmerie, and sell legal items within the designated area. Violators would be investigated.
All right, this cat lady who only thinks about making money all day long will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't open a shop. Su Xin carefully looked at the contract documents and signed them after confirming that there was no problem. In return, Ming Miao flew over and rubbed against her, and a
Lots of nice things.
"I hope it doesn't bring me any trouble..." Commander Su prayed silently in his heart.
There are two purposes for coming to [Call the Tide] this time. One is to hand over Bri's research and development documents to Yubari, and the other is to find a way to solve the problem of insufficient firepower and inability to kill monsters.
But both of these problems are not easy to solve. At least the first goal is in progress, but the second goal cannot even be started.
Not to mention how to explain the purpose of this equipment, just because of how busy Yubari is, Su Xin can't say anything. No matter what, she has to wait until the research is completed before she can make a request.
Su Xin was still thinking that such peaceful days could last a little longer, but problems came knocking on her door.
On the fifth day after arriving at [Calling Tide], Commander Su Xiao took Yixian to deliver lunch and woke Yubari up. As a result, when the two arrived at the small bungalow, they ran into four people who were in a confrontation.
Yubari saw them first, opened his mouth but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the three people standing opposite him.
"You are speechless, right? You know this is against the rules." The short-haired woman who seemed to be the leader in the middle said to Yubari, "I thought you were really devoted to your research, but I didn't expect you to spend every day with people other than researchers.
People contact.”
The other person seemed to have discovered something. He turned around following Yubari's line of sight and saw two people standing at the gate of the courtyard. "Deputy team, they are here."
The short-haired woman was stunned, then turned around and saw two people, one tall and one short, who looked like sisters. She seemed to be sure of something and became more confident.
"You are the ones, right? Non-relevant personnel are forbidden to approach the research site, otherwise we have reason to suspect that the security of the data will be threatened."
Su Xin looked seriously at the serious-looking woman, who was in her twenties, with shoulder-length hair, wearing a white coat and no makeup. She was now looking at her with a frown.
Yubari hurriedly walked in front of Su Xin, slightly blocking the friend who was a little shorter than her, "You misunderstood, she just came to bring me food..."
"Don't make excuses. Why should I eat with you when I deliver food to you? I know - they are suspicious anyway. This is against the rules!"
"But we really—
Commander Su tugged at the hem of Yixian's cheongsam, signaling her to take out today's lunch. After taking the lunch box, Su Xin handed it to Yuzhang very straightforwardly.
"That sister is right. It's really not appropriate for us to come over to see you all the time."
Su Xin looked at Yu Zhang's somewhat aggrieved expression, thought for a moment, reached out and hugged the fluffy tail that she had been combing for the past few days, and gently smoothed the fur.
The young commander looked up at the short-haired woman opposite him, who had a slightly cracked expression, and said to Yubari, "Then we will leave first. Teacher, remember to eat well and rest on time.
Su Xin patted Yubari's tail lightly, nodded to the three people opposite, turned around and left with Yixian.
Yubari swung his tail and remained silent for a while. He did not look favorably upon the uninvited guests, but he also knew that what he did was somewhat against the rules, so he did not say much, but just walked around the three people and entered the house.
Yubari: "I won't see you off."
"Bang."
The short-haired woman opened her mouth, paused for a while, and then shouted into the room: "Don't be complacent! Wait and see what I have to say!"
Then he left with the two researchers.
"Sister Yixian, is that researcher sister not as bad as she looks?"
"Hmm?" Yixian looked at the little conductor who was thinking seriously and asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"
"It feels like... she seems to be jealous of me? Her expression was unnatural when she touched her tail." The little conductor paused, "It's a bit like the person who likes the protagonist in a TV series... She likes Mr. Yubari, right?"
Yixian smiled and touched the little conductor's head, "There is progress, but still needs to work hard."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Well...Susu, think about it yourself?"
Chapter 232 Classic Project
The task progress was stuck, but Su Xin could do nothing about it.
Without the daily contact with Yubari, the possibility of providing reasonable design drawings became even lower. Commander Su was somewhat troubled, but no one could help her with this matter.
After thinking it over, Su Xin had no choice but to make a phone call and make an agreement with Yu Zhang about resting and eating on time and other trivial matters. She planned to make plans for other things slowly.
Yubari on the other end of the phone was of course deeply moved when he heard this, and at the same time he became more determined in his idea to work hard and produce results as soon as possible.
In the days that followed, Su Xin still accompanied Yixian to class and helped take notes, but when there were no light classes, she would go back first and think about countermeasures in the empty home.
Yixian originally wanted to stay by the side and look after the little conductor, but Su Xin felt that it was a pity for Yixian to always follow her since it was a rare opportunity for him to come out. It would be better for him to go out more often, so she gave Yixian a day off.
Yixian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the young commander's decision. She said that she rarely went out and that was just an excuse to accompany the young commander. If she really had to choose, she would probably prefer to stay at home and cook and drink tea.
However, it was impossible to explain to the young commander at this point, so Yixian could only thank him and then went out for a stroll.
After leaving home, Yixian went to school again. In the past few days, she had been running back and forth between the teaching building and Yubari's residence. She had not been to other places. This was a good opportunity to take a look at where Su Xin used to study and live.
[Calling the Tide] covers a large area. In fact, when they took classes these days, they only went to a few fixed teaching buildings. There are many other places that Yixian has not been to.
The sun in early June was somewhat hot, with scorching sunlight scattered everywhere in large patches, so bright that it was disturbing.
Yixian was wearing a cheongsam and not holding an umbrella. She didn't seem to care much about the midday sun. Bathing in the sun, a simple thing that could be done, seemed to make her quite satisfied. However, not everything went so smoothly.
Just a few steps from the main entrance of [Calling Tide], Yixian met a human who spoke to her.
"Hello, are you Yixian from Donghuang?" a young-looking man asked her.
Yixian said politely, "Yes, hello."
"I don't think I've heard of you in school before. I guess you're new to [Calling Tide], right? Do you need me to show you around?"
Yixian looked at the polite man in front of her and could easily guess why the other party came. As long as she agreed to such a small invitation, subsequent invitations would follow.
Therefore, Yixian did not hesitate. She first expressed her gratitude to the man for his kindness, and then stated that she was not a wandering ship girl, and stopped there.
The other party was also a reasonable person. After Yixian refused, he apologized and left gracefully. This made Yixian have a better impression of [Calling Tide]. At least from the perspective of the quality of the students, it was still very good.
Later, Yixian met many reserve commanders, who all extended olive branches to him. After being rejected, he did not feel ashamed or angry, but just left after expressing his regret.
"Next time, let's come with Susu."
Yixian sighed softly and looked down at her own outfit. The slim-fitting cheongsam, the shorter hem, and the seductive stockings were indeed quite eye-catching.
She didn't bring much of her own clothes this time. After all, the ship equipment was very convenient. No matter what the problem was, she could just refresh it and it would be clear.
At this moment, there were only a few sets of Commander Su Xiao's clothes in the ship's equipment space, which were stuffed in by Helena.
It is said that Helena prepared a bunch of clothes for Su Xin, but the little commander felt that there were too many and only took a few sets. This made Helena very worried, so she had to ask Yixian to bring a few more sets.
"Hmm...it should fit, right?" Yixian thought about it and decided to go to the bathroom to try it out. It was really inconvenient to move around in the original ship uniform all the time.
Yixian randomly picked a building and found the restroom at the corner of the first floor. After locking the cubicle, he took out several sets of clothes of the little commander.
