"what?"
"I remember you were very resistant to being with others last time."
Su Xin was stunned, remembering when she was referring to last time, "No, I...can't really accept strangers, and Tiancheng and the others are not too..."
"But people like Sister Yixian, Sister Helena, and Changdao have nothing to do with them, because... because... well, it just doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter to you either."
The young commander didn't say all the words, but Sheffield understood. To sum it up, it doesn't matter if it's her family who don't covet her body.
"But Miss Yixian..." Sheffield glanced at the innocent Su Xin, "Forget it, this is not within the scope of work."
Because she is usually too idle and her master is too slow, there has been no substantial progress after almost 500 chapters, so the trash maid decides to get started right away.
"Then please take off your clothes quickly, Master.
Su Xin:???
After hearing the maid's fierce words, the little commander remained calm. After all, since she didn't smell his peach scent on the other person, it meant they were sisters.
So she really sped up, and only stopped and turned her back when she was left with only the "Mobile Floor Heating " set.
"Sister Sheffield, can you help me unzip my zipper? I can't unzip it with my hands behind my back."
The maid was very skilled in doing it. She pulled open the secret button with a "click", pinched the tiny zipper, pulled it out a little, and then pulled it down smoothly.
Su Xin knew that the other party pulled the zipper deliberately to prevent it from getting stuck on her flesh. Although she felt a little stuffy in her chest, the feeling of being treated with care made her feel good.
In order to prevent there from being someone inside, the young commander left on his underwear, followed the maid carrying a small basin, and pushed the door open to enter the bathtub.
He looked around and listened carefully to make sure there was no sound. Then he walked naked into the shower room, rinsed quickly, and then jumped into the pool.
Sheffield was still standing on the shore in her maid outfit, staring at the little conductor who was standing steadily in the pool, lost in thought.
The owner's skin is really excellent, white and shiny. He is not very tall, but his waist is obvious, giving people the feeling of being slender. It is just the right place to grow meat...
Su Xin was paddling towards the middle depth area when she felt the gazes from the shore. She subconsciously covered her chest and asked, "Where are you looking?"
"How do you know where I'm looking?" Sheffield stepped on the shore and leaned towards Su Xin, "...Please be more confident, my master."
Su Xin glared at her and sat down on the steps where the water depth transitioned from low to medium, feeling the comfort of being wrapped in hot water.
Seeing this, Sheffield sighed silently, took off his ship uniform and followed him into the water.
The little commander secretly looked up at her. She was indeed much older than herself. After thinking for a while, she tentatively suggested: "...Can you replace my boiled water with milk in the future?"
"I think it would be better if you gain some weight. You are too thin."
Su Xin understood all these principles, but she really didn't eat much to gain weight.
After becoming a Kanmusu, her appetite increased a lot, but the change in weight was small. The extra weight was probably caused by her height growth.
Seeing that the little commander didn't say anything, Sheffield wrote down the matter of [increasing the feeding amount] and asked her again: "Do you need me to wipe your back?"
"Um... no, no, I'll just soak for a while, sister, don't worry about me, just take a rest."
"...I usually get enough rest." Sheffield sighed, feeling sorry for his career that was completely unbearable.
Taking a bath in a pool has always been a good way to relieve stress and relax the body and mind. The slightly warm water wraps the whole body and the heat is directed to every part of the body. Combined with the slightly lower temperature outside, people don't want to get up.
Su Xin thought so too. She had planned to soak for twenty minutes before getting up, but she didn't expect that after sitting down for only about five minutes, she heard some noises coming from the locker room opposite.
"...wait for me here..."
"...Um?"
.. "
Su Xin was stunned, and subconsciously took a few quick steps on the bottom of the pool, hiding behind Sheffield who also stood up, and poked her head over the other's white shoulder.
Just as I hid myself, the door separating the changing room and the bath opened, and a ship girl with long pink hair walked in holding a wooden basin, with an owl on her shoulder.
Su Xin had no interest in the ship girl. Although the fact that she didn't know her was enough to arouse her curiosity, compared to strangers, furry ones were obviously more attractive.
So the little commander leaned on the maid's shoulder and stared at the chubby owl.
The pink-haired ship girl didn't seem surprised that there was someone inside, but when she saw the appearance of the girl behind Sheffield, she was stunned for a moment.
"...You are, Commander Su."
"Eh? Ah..." Su Xin responded subconsciously, and came back to her senses from the owl's round eyes, "Hello... hello..."
No one knew what the other person was thinking. He was naked, holding the basin, staring at the little conductor, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Sheffield knew that his master was shy, so he frowned and asked, "Hello, is there anything you want to tell us?"
The pink-haired ship girl opened her mouth, and it seemed like she was stuck there like a network wave. After a long while, she uttered softly, "Nice to meet you, Commander, who is as beautiful as a lychee."
"...Huh?"
The ship girl took a step back, as if she was a little panicked, but the owl was very calm, it moved its feet and hooted twice.
"Cuckoo One"
Su Xin's eyes lit up when she heard the sound, and she thought the bird of prey was adorable.
The pink-haired ship girl seemed to be suddenly awakened, and introduced herself a little anxiously: "I am Perseus, you...you can also call me Perseus..."
"Perseus?"
Su Xin went over the name in her mind twice and found that she had no impression of it. She did know a little about Perseus, the son of Zeus in ancient Greek mythology. As for the constellations, she had not studied them much.
"Hello, my name is Su Xin."
After Perseus introduced himself, he relaxed his shoulders as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, and after being in a daze for a while, he remembered that he came here to take a shower.
Then Su Xin saw her turn around as if she was about to leave, and she could vaguely hear her mumbling.
"...Is it her?"
"...So you want to go back to the closet?"
"What if the feathers are wet..."
Before Su Xin could figure out the meaning of the other party's words, the owl suddenly flew off her shoulder and flew towards her while Perseus was stunned.
Sheffield frowned and was about to reach out to stop this unidentified guy when he heard his young master's slightly joyful words.
"Ah, is it okay to put it on my hand? It should be stable, right? It won't get wet, right?"
Hearing this, the maid looked up at Perseus standing on the shore. Seeing that the other party also looked very surprised, she put her mind at ease for the time being and let the owl fly over her head and land on Su Xin's forearm.
The slightly heavier bird of prey stood on the little commander's white arm, and its sharp claws cleverly formed a ring, locking it firmly on her arm.
"Goo."
Su Xin didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from sniffing the fur at close range. At the moment, she was staring at the owl with extreme concentration.
Perseus felt a little uneasy and moved his white jade feet, but he didn't dare to move forward.
"It...it has no ill intentions. It is as harmless as an earthworm that pops up after the rain. Please don't throw it into the water..."
The young commander was stunned when he heard Perseus's magical metaphor. He wanted to complain but felt it was impolite, so he just nodded and said nothing more.
The owl stood quietly on Su Xin's forearm, without moving, like a sculpture. After a while, it curled up into a ball and closed its eyes to rest.
Although Perseus was soaking in the pool at a distance, he would always look up at the little commander from time to time, fearing that his owl would become a drowned chicken.
Fortunately, Su Xin knew her limits. After staring for a while, she looked at the time and decided to leave. So she poked the owl's furry belly under the gaze of Perseus.
"Are we going back? Are you going back to your sister Perseus' place?"
The owl seemed to understand human nature. It looked at her and made a "coo" sound. Then it spread its wings and flew to the shore, where it stood still on the tiled floor.
Su Xin was in a good mood. She got out of the water very quickly and put on the bathrobe that had been placed on the shore. After Sheffield came ashore and called out the ship uniform, they went to the locker room together.
"Sister Perseus, we'll be leaving now. Bye."
"... Stop for a moment."
The young commander was stunned and stopped. "Anything else?"
"Gugu (Note 1) It... heard it." Perseus seemed to be trying to find the right words. "That human named Chen Yang is very strange."
Su Xin, who had gradually forgotten Chen Yang after not seeing him for a long time, was naturally concerned when someone mentioned this again, "Why do you say that?"
"...She and I are a bit alike, and I wanted to be friends, so Gugu helped me observe..." Perseus paused, "Her smile was like a snail full of mucus... It was very uncomfortable."
Su Xin couldn't quite understand this alternative metaphor, but she received Perseus's kind reminder.
The young commander had no intention of taking the initiative to contact Chen Yang to confirm the authenticity of the words, but this did not prevent her from burying the seeds of doubt in her heart.
"Thank you, I understand." Su Xin responded, and turned and left with Sheffield.
Perseus, who was still soaking in the pool, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the hair dryer in the locker room, and turned to look at the owl on the shore.
"Gugu...did I do well this time?"
“Gu, gu.”
Perseus curled the corners of his lips and shrank back a little deeper into the pool, his cherry-pink mouth spitting bubbles into the water, obviously in a good mood.
"...Yeah, that's good."
ps: Note 1, the information doesn't seem to say what the owl calls, combined with the setting of Perseus's communication barrier... just coo, it shouldn't have much of an impact...
Chapter 476: Hygiene
Since there were usually few people on the [Men's Bath] side, even after Su Xin finished her bath and blew her hair dry, the other ship girls still couldn't come out of the bath.
The young commander thought for a moment and decided to go to Ming Miao first to check out the situation. While waiting for his own ship girls to have dinner together, he could also find a chance to take a look at Chen Yang.
Although it was dark outside, the area around Ming Miao's small tent was still bustling with people, and the scene was as lively as usual.
I guess it was because it was getting late, and there were fewer KanColles queuing up, but there were quite a few people watching the unboxing out of interest. They gathered in a circle, and from time to time, they could hear shouts of joyful congratulations.
Among the ship girls with different hair colors, Vanya with her coat hood looks very out of place, like someone who is still living in the cold winter in late spring.
She was speaking an extremely authentic Donghuang language, moving among the group of ship girls, breathing out hot air while accurately handing the food in her hand to the ship girls who had paid.
As if she raised her eyes unintentionally, Vanya saw Su Xin standing outside the crowd. She smiled and waved at her. After making sure that she was seen, she squeezed out.
"Ah... I'm sweating all over." Vanya pulled down her hood, wiped the sweat from her forehead with gloves, and exhaled saliva.
"Thanks to your shipgirl, the money I made from selling these two days is comparable to what I made in the entire summer vacation."
Su Xin didn't think it was a big deal. Her original intention was not to help Vanya increase her income, so she didn't take credit for it. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the open window of the grocery store.
"Um...Sister Vanya, is Chen Yang in there?"
"Hmm? Ah." Vanya glanced at the little conductor and paused before answering, "She's here. What's wrong? Do you have anything to do with her?"
"...No, I just haven't seen her much recently, so I just asked you casually."
Vanya raised her eyebrows and nudged Su Xin's shoulder in a familiar manner, "You sleep all day long, don't you? Be a little more restrained...it's not good to develop a chronic disease."
Su Xin thought the other party was advising her not to stay up late, and nodded in agreement, "Of course I know."
Seeing Commander Su being so frank, Vanya stretched out her finger and scratched her chin lightly, then raised her hand to put it on his shoulder and pushed him forward.
"Let's go, let's go. Since you are so open-minded, I can't hide it anymore. I was afraid of scaring you at first, but now it seems that you might need it."
"What is that?" Su Xin tilted her head and was forced to walk towards the door of the store.
Vanya's lips curved, keeping it a secret, "You'll know when you go in and I get it for you..."
The young commander didn't understand, but since Sheffield was following him, he thought there would be no danger, so he took advantage of the force and entered the store.
Chen Yang was still dressed warmly, wearing a pair of round glasses and pigtails. She was sitting at the cashier desk by the window. When she saw the three people coming in, she didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.
"Xiao Chen, didn't you say you can take whatever drinks you want?" Vanya pointed to the drinks on display in the warming cabinet. "You're welcome. I've made a lot of money with your help these days."
Chen Yang lowered his head and shook his head, "I... I brought hot water... Thank you..."
Vanya didn't force it and patted Su Xin on the shoulder, "Don't mind it, she's just a little timid, I'll take that thing out for you later."
Su Xin nodded with a calm face. When she saw Vanya went to the innermost part to look through something, she turned to look at Chen Yang.
The other party seemed to feel his gaze and shrank his head like a rabbit, not daring to look up. Su Xin couldn't observe anything and withdrew her gaze.
Vanya moved quickly. After flipping through the boxes for a few seconds, she came back holding two boxes of something.
Commander Su was curious, but the box was not big and was partially blocked by the thick down jacket, so he couldn't tell what was inside, so he just asked her directly.
"What is it? Vitamins?"
"Huh? Vitamins?" Vanya was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, you do need that, but I don't have any prepared. If you want, you have to buy it yourself."
