"...No." Si Pei pursed his lips, glanced at the little conductor helplessly, and then quickly looked away. For some reason, he felt a little flustered when being asked about his grades by a parent. "She...seems to be very busy. She has been...reading."
"Hmm... maybe she's preparing for class?" Commander Su said expressionlessly and seriously, looking very serious. "It's okay, the university still has some time left, and her tasks aren't that heavy. You can go find her without worry.
Play. "
"I...I will try my best..."
"Have you talked to Javelin, Rafi, or Royal's sister? You should be less restrained when you're with them."
"...Sorry, not yet." Spey gently kicked the little shark at his feet, "Except for Iron Blood...I haven't been there yet...but I liked their Moments."
"Why should I apologize? These are just small matters." Commander Su said calmly, but from her expression, she looked like a mother whose child got a zero on the test paper. "After your eyes are better, I will take you to participate.
Tea party?"
"Um... OK, thank you."
"Don't be so polite. Um... we should be almost at the restaurant, right?" The little conductor was multitasking while silently counting the steps to test his memory.
Spey, who seemed to have been criticized, raised his head when he heard the words, and then he realized that they had arrived at the door of the restaurant. "Yes, we are here. I will go back first."
"Eh? Don't you want to eat something?"
"Well...I...I'll go back and talk to Z23."
Commander Su was quite pleased to hear this. "Is that so? Goodbye then?"
Hearing Spee's footsteps fading away, Commander Su turned around and wanted to go to the restaurant to see if Sheffield was there, but he felt a soft, cool hand in his palm again.
"Hmm? Sister Sheffield, you're back, why is there no sound at all..."
"..."
"Well... let's go in and find Sister Yixian. I'm a little hungry."
"..."
So the young commander dragged "Sheffield" towards the restaurant, but after taking only two steps, he heard a familiar cold voice coming from not far in front of him.
"Master, it is extremely rude to suddenly abandon your maid and run away. Even if you are a pest, you should know this."
"Eh? Sister Sheffield?" Commander Su was stunned when he heard that. "Why are you over there? Who's the one next to me?"
"Next to you? If I'm not mistaken, you should be the only large pest here."
Commander Su was stunned for a moment and subconsciously pinched the soft spot in his palm, but the other party responded again.
Su Xin:???
ps: There is still only one chapter...Please wait a few more days QA Q
Chapter 383: Progress in a sense
"So...what did you call me to do?"
Shiranui was very dissatisfied because she was forcibly pulled over by Sheffield and missed the best time to sell goods. You know, every minute and every second of the day is a huge fortune for her.
Thinking about the profiteer Ming who was shouting in the equipment store, and then looking at the head of the port area who was shivering in the arms of the Donghuang chef not far in front of him, Shiranui felt deeply magical.
Sheffield was also a little helpless, "...The owner said that she encountered something unclean, so I asked you to come and take a look at the situation."
"...'She' is much cleaner than your coward..." Shiranui squinted and glanced at the little commander who was wiping his sweat, "At least 'she' won't break out in cold sweat.
"...her?" Sheffield glanced at the little commander who had curled up into a ball again, and tried to recall, "Oh, last time you said that you really liked the master's... spirit?"
"Well, a few days ago, she came back feeling aggrieved. I didn't expect that she would get back together soon after your commander got home." Shiranui floated in the air on the ship's outfit, "What a pity she's a coward."
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Yixian patted Su Xin's back, feeling angry and amused. "You know that Su Su is afraid of these things."
Seeing that the two stopped making sarcastic remarks, Yixian finally had time to ask the frightened person, "Susu? Are you okay? Can't you see her? Why are you so scared all of a sudden..."
“…I touched it…”
"Hmm? How can you be sure it's her and not someone else?"
"Thank...thank you—
The scumbag maid replied coldly: "You're welcome."
The little commander choked, and Yixian patted his back twice before he spoke more fluently, "I always thought I was holding the hand of Sister Sheffield, but she just said that she was never by my side..."
"And her hands were very cold... like they had been soaked in cold water for a long time. I... I thought Sister Sheffield was too cold, and I... I held it even tighter..."
When Commander Su said this, he shuddered unconsciously, and clenched the spirit's hand into a small fist, looking as if he didn't want to open it again.
"Well...but she didn't do anything to you. From what you said, she even helped you, didn't she?" Yixian said as he wrapped his hand around the fist, allowing Su Xin's body temperature to gradually warm up.
Commander Su was not a stubborn person. She certainly understood the other party's good intentions, but it was too difficult for her to accept this strange existence all of a sudden.
Shiranui glanced at the spirit floating to the side, which only she could see, nodded helplessly, sighed, and said, "So why are you afraid of her?"
The young commander was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully with his offline brain, "...is it scary?"
"Scary? What do you mean?" Shiranui floated over. "If it's about appearance, 'she' is probably a big sister with long hair and horns on her forehead. Aren't there a lot of people with this appearance in the Sakura Empire?"
"Besides, you can't see her now, or at any time, you won't see her face, so it doesn't matter what she looks like."
"If you're afraid of making an unexpected appearance, why don't you discuss it and agree on a signal for your appearance?"
"She just wants to get close to you. As a spirit that can't speak, isn't your attitude a bit too much?"
Yixian frowned. This statement seemed to be correct, but in the final analysis, as "human beings", they actually had no position to consider the "spirits".
It's normal for Commander Su to be afraid of this, but Shiranui seems to have tacitly agreed that everyone can accept spirits, which is actually not fair to Su Xin.
But no matter what she thought, Yixian also knew that as "Su Xin", she didn't need to think too much about what decision the little commander would make.
"...Okay, I'm too timid..." The little commander closed his eyes and looked up from Yixian's arms, "But this is not something I can decide..."
"No, of course you can." Shiranui controlled the will-o'-the-wisp to float in front of Su Xin and then realized that she couldn't see him, so he took back the fireball in dismay, "As long as I help you avoid - um... paid training for a period of time
Enough. "
"...You're not going to scare me, are you?"
"How could that be? To me, the customer is God."
Shiranui's expressionless face looked unusually eerie under the reflection of the will-o'-the-wisp fire, but unfortunately Commander Su Xiao, who was blind, was completely unable to feel the strange atmosphere at the scene, and even began to think about it seriously.
Putting aside the opinion of the scumbag maid, Yixian seemed to be quite opposed to it. "I don't think Susu needs to change for an invisible...'stranger'. Does one-sided closeness also require Susu to respond?
? "
Shiranui knew that Yixian was not so easy to fool, but as soon as she took one look at the pitiful spirit floating in the air, she had to bite the bullet and find an excuse.
Fortunately, one of the parties involved was very self-aware and directly acted as the insider.
"It's okay. I... I sometimes feel like I'm a nuisance." Commander Su looked serious. "Because of my eyes, I have to take up Sister Sheffield's time for one night."
"She has to follow me during the day and stay with me in my room at night. She doesn't have much time to rest... I don't think this is good."
"Besides, I'm going to be an adult soon. I can't keep sleeping with others now..." Su Xin touched her head without any self-consciousness, "It's like I'm still a child..."
Yixian paused. After all, he didn't tell the truth. If it were Long Island or Phoenix, they would probably start complaining immediately.
Sleeping with someone is not just a matter of age. If this were to happen, Lafite would probably be the first one to be unhappy. Besides, judging from Commander Su's current personality, it's hard to say whether he has grown up or not.
If you want to know whether she can be independent, she can indeed take good care of herself. She does not need others to worry about her food, clothing, transportation and even financial expenses, but she is a little behind in other aspects.
At this moment, it would probably take Yixian and the others a long time just to find a way to teach Su Xiaozhi to be a little more selfish, let alone any progress in their relationship.
Unfortunately, Yixian was not a person who could complain. She just sighed a little and then asked, "Are you serious? Even if it is something you are most opposed to?"
"Well, I have to grow up too." Commander Su pursed his lips, "In various ways."
When Shiranui saw the inner demon win, he clapped his hands immediately, "Now that we've talked about it, let's discuss how much the tutoring fee would be -"
"Ahem." Yixian coughed lightly, turned his head and said with a rare cold expression, "Ms. Shiranui, I think you can grasp the scale, right?"
"... Of course the tutoring fee is free..." Shiranui silently floated back a few steps, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt at a loss. "Well... since we have reached a consensus, why don't you two get to know each other first?"
Before Commander Su could react after hearing what was said, he felt something cold touching his face. He shuddered and shrank back.
"I...I think I should...take some more time to get used to it..."
ps: Ling is a new character. Um...you can guess who it is. He will officially appear after the winter event.
Chapter 384 The First Ghost Who Was Not Feared
"Um... is it morning yet?"
Commander Su stuck her head out of the bed with her eyes closed, and while stroking her slightly messy long hair, she asked into the room, "Sister Sheffield, are you there?"
"Yes, Master. It's already morning. Judging from this time, the chickens must have just had breakfast."
Commander Su Xiao, who had lost his sight, could not see the darkness before dawn outside, so he misunderstood and tilted his head with some curiosity.
"Have you guys had breakfast yet? Well... it seems a bit late..."
Su Xin reached out her hand and touched the bedside table next to her, and found that the clothes she had placed there last night seemed to have disappeared inexplicably.
"Sister Sheffield? Did you take my clothes away?"
Sheffield looked up into the air with a wooden face. There was a whole set of folded clothes floating there. These were exactly the clothes that Commander Su was going to wear today.
Commander Su, who had not received an answer for a long time, was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he suddenly felt the familiar soft texture in his hand.
"Ah, thank you, sister. I'll go to the bathroom and change my clothes first."
"You're welcome, Master." Sheffield stood there, not wanting to move at all. "After all, it's not a useless maid like me who's helping you get your clothes."
"...Huh? That is..."
Commander Su paused for a moment, then immediately reacted, and nodded towards the empty space with his suddenly pale face, "Thank...thank you..."
After saying that, Su Xin didn't care whether there was a response or not. She went into the bathroom without stopping. Before closing the door, she warned seriously: "You...you can't come in."
"boom!
Although Commander Su Xiao did promise Shiranui yesterday that she would try to get along well with the "spirit", she did not expect that the place to get along would be in her room.
Thinking in this direction, she probably found the reason why she felt colder than usual while sleeping last night.
It was all because of the existence of the "spirit" that the surrounding temperature was affected, causing some areas to become colder. Fortunately, the other party also knew the limits and did not get too close, otherwise Commander Su would have gotten sick from the cold today.
"...So, this is Shiranui's guidance..."
After washing up, Commander Su quietly put on another piece of clothing, thought for a while, climbed back onto the bed, tucked his legs into the quilt, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"...If my dear master could know how to say no, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Commander Su wisely chose not to say anything, and the little maid stopped talking too. The whole room suddenly became quiet.
At this time, the slightest sound would be very obvious, so the little conductor easily heard the slight rubbing sound of porcelain cups and plates on the side table, and then a cup of hot water floated in front of her.
Su Xin didn't hear Sheffield's footsteps, so she naturally understood that this was the "spirit" showing goodwill. Although she was afraid, the little commander still stretched out his hand and took the glass of warm water.
"...Thanks."
"...
"Ling" and Commander Su did not get acquainted quickly, mainly because her mind seemed not very mature, and the Commander was somewhat afraid of her, which resulted in a difficult adjustment process for both sides.
But compared to his previous fear of "ghosts", after at least two or three days of getting along with them, the little commander can now live in the same room with the "spirits" quite normally.
Well, I just need to put on more clothes.
"Ling" seemed very satisfied with this, and Yixian, who came to look after the little commander from time to time, was also in a good mood.
In fact, Yixian was not too worried about the little commander's daily life. After all, the royal maid was only slightly bad at cooking. Well... what she meant was that, apart from being particularly bad at cooking, there was basically nothing else to complain about.
Ultimately, what Yixian was more worried about was the problem between the little commander and "Ling", but fortunately, from the current point of view, the two sides were getting along fairly well, and what made her even happier was probably the little commander's eyes had recovered as before.
With the help of the "small wrench", Su Xin's eyeball has basically been repaired, but some details still require more time to be repaired using the "small wrench".
Her current condition is like that of a person with extremely severe myopia. Although her eyeballs are intact, her eyesight is so poor that she cannot tell who is who even if they are right next to each other.
In comparison, Commander Su Xiao's current situation is probably a little better than the original Tiancheng. At least it is no longer like the previous Tiancheng, where he can only rely on color blocks to identify objects or people.
This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for Su Xin.
The benefit is, of course, that she no longer needs a bamboo stick, and she no longer has to force herself to move with her eyes closed every day, fearing that her appearance would scare the children in the harbor.
The feeling of regaining color and light is truly amazing, but the troubles that come with it should not be underestimated.
