"Ah? Ah... OK..." Ruyue climbed down from the sofa and walked over, excited but a little nervous, "Actually... Ruyue is a little bit older than you..." (Note 1)
"Hmm? I am the first aircraft carrier of the Iron Blood! The great Count Zeppelin! I...I can call you Kisaragi, right?"
"Okay...okay, put on my clothes first. The shower is...over here..."
Su Xin watched the two little ones go into the bathroom. She heard Ruyue's happy scientific research and little Qipplin's surprised shouts from inside. She smiled silently, but when she thought of little Qipplin who was full of doubts, she straightened her expression unconsciously.
Shokaku thought for a moment and asked her, "What should we do...let Zeppelin live at home for a while?"
Su Xin nodded, "Let's keep her for a while. I'm going to take her to the military police tomorrow to check the situation. I'll make a decision after I get more information...Ming Miao, do you have any new clothes? Sell me a few sets? Regular clothes
Just fine. "
"Yes, yes. You want children's clothing in Kisaragi's size, right? Hehehe... I've already bought some good stuff, Commander, take your time choosing, meow~ Ah... I'm making an exception this time and giving you a 20% discount, because you helped me rent the shop, meow~"
"Well, thank you, Boss Ming."
"Hey, you're welcome, meow~"
Yixian looked at the little conductor beside him who was carefully selecting clothes, thought for a moment and suggested, "Since there is one more person living here, we have to change to a combination of two people per room."
Xianghe looked at Yixian and didn't refute. At the moment, she didn't have any special feelings towards the young commander. The most urgent thing was to give Kaga a good warning in the etiquette class next week.
Seeing that no one objected, Yixian continued, "Ruyue should want to sleep in the same room with Xiao Qipinglin, so... I will sleep in the same room with Susu, right? Susu? Is that okay?"
Su Xin actually had no problem with it. She had chest discomfort before, but the symptoms had eased a lot recently. Although she would occasionally have a slight pain, it was only intermittent and no longer affected her life.
The.
So the little commander nodded, looked at Yixian's black hair again, and sighed: "It feels a bit like a real sister."
Yixian smiled from the bottom of his heart when he heard this, and when he saw that no one had any objections, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Helena, you asked me to protect Susu, and I did it!"

ps: Note 1925: In fact, if we count by years, the Ruyue is quite old. It was launched and completed in 38. The Zeppelin was launched in , but it was never completed. In the end, it was a tragedy. It was sunk by the Iron Blood and then salvaged by the Northern Alliance.
Finally, the target ship was sunk. It seemed like it was a knife. QA Q...
Chapter 238 A Beginning
It was another morning. The little conductor, who was sitting at the table eating breakfast, saw little Zeppelin coming out of the room rubbing her eyes. He said good morning and asked her, "How did you sleep last night?"
"Well... the bed is very comfortable, and the air-conditioning is also very cool. But Kisaragi always kicks off the quilt, so I have to cover her up all the time... ha——
Su Xin looked at the little Zeppelin who had obviously become much closer to her after staying overnight, and praised her with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Earl Zeppelin. Sister Yixian prepared a very delicious breakfast. Go brush your teeth and eat."
So little Zeppelin washed up very quickly with a desire and anticipation for delicious food, and was then taken by Su Xin to sit at the dining table, where Yixian brought him the breakfast.
We had noodles for breakfast, but Yixian also prepared some buns with different fillings. Although the quantity was not large, it was definitely enough for us to try.
This time, little Zeppelin's eating manners were much more pleasant. At least he didn't eat as voraciously as he did yesterday, as if he wanted to bury his entire little head in the plate.
There were only four of them left at home. Ming Miao had already gone to her new shop to continue her business, while Xiang He ran to the etiquette class early to observe. She firmly believed that after studying hard, she would be able to make a comeback today.
city.
Su Xin, who had already finished her meal, propped up her chin and looked at the little Qi Peilin across from her, and asked her casually, "Qi Peilin, what do you like to eat? Steamed buns?"
Hearing this, little Zeppelin, holding a bun in one hand and a fork in the other, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Hmm... either is fine. I actually prefer desserts."
"Um... cakes and snacks or something?"
"Mm! Yes, yes, yes, they are fragrant and sweet, and they are very delicious!"
The little commander thought of a sweets lover in the harbor who was very charming. "You should be able to get along well with Eldridge. She also likes sweets."
"Really? I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to meet her. Mmm... delicious!"
The little commander waited for the other party to finish eating, thought for a while, and handed over two pieces of red date cake for blood tonic. Little Zeppelin ate without any pressure, so she smiled and felt extremely satisfied with the act of coaxing a child.
After feeding little Zeppelin, Su Xin entered Ruyue's room and called out to Ruyue, who was still asleep, because she was too excited about having a new friend last night.
The three of them were getting ready to go out, and they didn't know how long it would take, so Su Xin woke up Ruyue and assured her that the child would have breakfast later before she felt at ease.
As the matter was urgent and little Zeppelin was eager to return home, the three of them chose to take a taxi to the gendarmerie.
Little Zeppelin seemed very interested in the car as a means of transportation. He kept looking at it with his eyes wide open until he sat in it.
“This car is great looking!”
"Oh ~ the cushion is so soft..."
The driver was also a talkative person, or perhaps people in this line of work all have some chatting skills, and the child was cute, so little Zeppelin was chatting with the driver and asking questions all the way.
The more Su Xin listened, the more she felt something was wrong, but the information she knew was too little to judge what was going on, so she had to keep her doubts to herself for the time being.
When she arrived at the Military Police, little Zeppelin was obviously very nervous, but after seeing that most of the ship girls in the bureau dressed in a similar style to her, she relaxed a lot.
Su Xin went directly to the reception desk to report the situation. "There is a lost child here. She doesn't know where her home is, so we want to ask the gendarmerie for help."
The ship girl at the reception desk asked them to sit aside while she contacted the relevant departments to investigate. As a result, both parties happened to meet Eugen who was out for inspection (strolling).
"Hmm? Ah... Nice to see you again, Commander Su. What's the matter with you this time?"
Su Xin had no choice but to repeat her purpose.
Eugen's expression was very serious after hearing this. "Well... I just happened to meet you. Then you can come to my office to talk."
The young commander saw that the ship girl at the reception desk seemed very confident in Eugen, and thought that she and Eugen would have a second contact, so he had to follow Eugen silently and walked to the office.
To be honest, the little commander didn't really want to have too much contact with Eugen. Ever since she started learning about emotions, her subconscious mind was always very sharp. She didn't know what Eugen was going to do, but she could sense that his attitude towards her was abnormal.
Come.
As soon as the four of them arrived at the office, Eugen's serious expression suddenly disappeared. He just sat on the sofa, pinched his shoulders and sighed, then smiled at the little commander, "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Su Xin nodded but did not respond. She always felt that Eugen was plotting something, but she couldn't figure it out now. After thinking about it, Su Xin still felt that it would be better to have less communication.
Eugen didn't get angry when he didn't get a response. He took a deep breath and started working. "So what's the matter this time? The problem with the stall... I think you should have solved it?"
"Well... it's resolved." The conversation was inevitable, so Su Xin had to take a businesslike attitude, "This time it's about her."
"She?" Eugen looked at the little girl sitting next to Su Xin, who was looking at the objects in the room with curiosity, "What happened to the destroyer?"
Little Zeppelin was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the other party was talking about him and got furious. "I am the Iron Blood Empire's first aircraft carrier, Count Zeppelin! I am not a destroyer!"
"Zeppelin?" Eugen was also stunned. In his impression, Zeppelin and this person were not the same size. "You... are her daughter?"
Little Zeppelin was puzzled. "Can ships also have daughters? Aren't they just made directly?"
"It is... it is indeed made, but you are still young, so it is normal that you don't understand." Eugen didn't want to give a physiological science lesson to the child in the office, "So what happened to her?"
Su Xin took over the conversation and briefly summarized the situation, "She said her home was in Tiexue, but she appeared here inexplicably a few days ago and now wants to go back, but we asked her and she didn't know where she lived..."
"Hmm... this is easy." Eugen thought for a moment and asked little Zeppelin, "Which area of Sangfor is your home in? Are there any architectural features?"
"Well...it's a big port, and there are a lot of people."
Eugen listened and recorded the information, "Well, is there any more big...port?"
"Uh... the sea is cool?"
"Hmm? Location information, not how you feel."
"Eh? But I don't know. I only know that I live over there at the port..."
Eugen sighed, "So where's your builder? What's his name?"
Little Zeppelin was also confused, "I don't know, how can I remember this."
Eugen rubbed his brows and asked her if she had anything to add. Seeing that little Zeppelin shook his head, she put down her pen, thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.
"Once we take on a case, we will be responsible for it to the end. But to be honest, the chances of finding it are not very high because there are too few clues. We can only look in the direction of 'a port that is still in use.'"
"But there are too many ports of all sizes in Iron Blood, and the concept of 'big' is difficult to define. It is possible that it is a small, nameless port, but she thinks it is very big, which makes it even more difficult to find."
Little Zeppelin retorted angrily, "No, it's real, it's very big! There are many people working there!"
Eugen nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart. How could a child who couldn't even remember the builder's name really understand these things? Could he have mistaken pedestrians or residents for staff members? But that certainly couldn't be the case.
"We will do our best to investigate. During the investigation, it is best for you not to leave the city so that we can determine the situation and notify you as soon as possible."
Eugen took out his phone and smiled, "Add your contact information? I'll let you know as soon as there's news."
Su Xin had no choice but to agree, so she reluctantly exchanged contact information. Eugen was amused by the little commander's reluctant expression, and laughed and scolded: "I don't give it to others who want it, but you despise it."
"She can stay at the Military Police for now until the results come out. Of course, she can also go back with you. It all depends on her intention."
"Eh? Me?" Little Zeppelin pointed at herself. Seeing everyone nod, she made the decision without hesitation, "I want to go with Su Xin."
"I guessed it." Eugen nodded, and followed the regulations to leave Su Xin's basic information on the document. He also said seriously, "If there are any problems, we will visit you. Please treat her well."
The three of them walked out of the gendarmerie. When they stood at the door, little Zeppelin put his hands on his waist and looked very proud. "Look, the police said you have to treat me well, so you can't deny me food. Um... I also want to eat a lot of desserts!"
"I will. Ask your sister Yixian for dessert." Su Xin touched Qi Bailin's head and said amid the other party's dissatisfied murmurs, "We may have to get along well for a while. Qi Bailin, please give me more advice.
"Hmm... Please give me some advice~"
Chapter 239 Revealed
Ming Miao has made a lot of money these days by selling equipment. He is in high spirits 24 hours a day. He even gives snacks to Ruyue and Xiao Zeppelin for free, which shows how much he earns.
However, even though he made a lot of money in business, Ming Miao did not forget the task that the commander had asked him to do. Therefore, after earning supplies for several days, Ming Miao decided to go to [Call the Tide] to visit Yubari.
"The sooner I finish the task, the more time I'll have to make money, meow~" Ming Miao thought as he hummed a song on the way to [Calling Tide].
[Calling the Tide] She hasn't been here very often, but there are signposts here, and with the location given by the commander, it is easy to find. I think this process won't be too difficult.
But what Ming Miao didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the gate of [Calling Tide], she was recognized by many people who had bought boxes before, and they all came up to her.
Ming Miao thought that the low probability of getting a technology box caused public outrage, but she found that it was not what she thought. The students who came praised Ming Miao's equipment and said that they would continue to patronize her store when they had money.
Wow, Ming Miao never thought that she could be so popular. She would meet customers from time to time when walking on the street, and they would greet her with a smile on their faces.
"Looks like I need to step up my game, meow!"
Yubari's residence is quite special, with a square courtyard, which doesn't match the exquisite dormitory buildings standing around it. It feels like a hidden gem in the city. Did they really run to the city to build a thatched house?
However, unlike what the commander had said before, there were three young men standing outside Yubari's yard, looking down at their phones.
When Ming Miao came over, the three of them looked at her, one lowered his head, and two smiled and greeted her. Ming Miao thought about it and walked towards the two people who greeted her.
"What are you doing here meow?"
"Hello, Boss Ming. We... um... it's okay to tell you. We are ensuring the fairness of the duel."
"Duel?" Ming Miao looked confused. "What kind of duel, Miao?"
"Boss Ming, you are not a student of our school, so it is normal that you don't know." Another person explained, "The leader and deputy leader of our school's scientific research group are competing against each other, and they must use the breakthrough of the ship girl as the topic to determine the winner.
"I see... Then what does fairness mean?"
"Oh, it's like this. Teacher Yubari's former students always came to see her, and the deputy team leader was worried that fairness would be affected, so he asked us to watch over here to prevent any outside help from appearing."
Ming Miao nodded when she heard this, knowing that they were talking about her young commander. She thought that she would not be able to see Yu Zhang this time. As a result, just when she was about to go home, they asked her, "Is Boss Ming here to see Teacher Yu Zhang?"
"Ah... yes, I want to ask her some advice about equipment, meow. Since the timing is not right, I will go back first, meow."
"It's appropriate. There's nothing inappropriate about it. As long as Mr. Yubari agrees, it'll be fine." One of them explained, "We are mainly trying to prevent Mr. Yubari's student from coming. I heard that she is very smart."
"...But doesn't your deputy team leader have many researchers to help him?"
The student who was following her was stunned for a moment, "Ah... yeah, it's mainly because Ms. Yubari won most of the awards by herself, so everyone assumes that she would do research alone..."
Ming Miao didn't want to dwell on this issue any more, "So... I can go over, right, Miao?"
"Of course, as long as Mr. Yubari agrees to let you in, if not... then there is nothing we can do."
"Okay, thank you guys, I'll go ask Meow."
"Okay! By the way, boss, next time we go shopping, remember to give me a discount!"
"Ahahaha, of course, meow~" Mingmiao greeted with a smile and walked towards Yubari's residence, thinking secretly in his heart: "I will definitely let you eat the guaranteed meal, meow!"
Ming Miao walked into the yard, climbed two or three steps, and then, following the instructions of the little commander, knocked on the heavy wooden door of the Yuzhang family with a little force.
"Teacher Yubari? The little face paralysis came to see you!"
The three people outside the yard had no reaction to the title of "Little Face Paralysis". At most, they couldn't understand why Boss Ming called them that. However, the fox inside the door jumped and opened the door in one go.
"She's here? Where?"
