After hearing this, Akagi was stunned for a long time. It was really a long time, so long that Su Xin began to wonder if this man was angry and stupid.
When she couldn't hold it in any longer, she bent her legs and hit Akagi's abdomen hard. Then he stood up in a daze, stunned for a while, and his lips turned pale.
Su Xin felt uncomfortable, frowned and asked again, "Let go! I want to go to the bathroom!
Akagi looked at the girl lying on the bed, hesitated for a moment, stretched out four ropes, and lowered her down from the bed.
"...Go ahead." Chicheng looked a little flustered, as if he had not expected Su Xin to be so determined, "Go ahead... As long as you don't leave Chicheng..."
Su Xin looked at her doubtfully, and after making sure that Chicheng was not joking, she hurriedly ran into the bathroom barefoot, and then locked the door with the talisman paper and thin string.
After easily tearing off the Fu, he dealt with the pressing matters, then tentatively waved at the empty wall in front of him.
Feeling the light and soft touch on her face, Su Xin felt relieved. She turned on the faucet to cover up the sound and dipped the brush in water to write on the mirror.
[Find your phone and send a message to Tiancheng to tell him your location]
The slightly cooler spirit disappeared silently, and the surrounding temperature returned to normal. Su Xin knew that the [spirit] must have gone downstairs to deliver the message, and she felt much more at ease.
After thinking about it, she simply brushed her teeth several times with clean water, then pushed the door open and looked at Akagi who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Akagi seemed to be in a very low mood. When he saw her coming out, he subconsciously raised a smile, which was quite stiff and not very nice. "Commander...?"
Su Xin was silent for a moment, and finally responded, "Yeah."
Akagi won't tie you up anymore, please don't leave Akagi, okay?"
"......5
"Valentine's Day hasn't passed yet. Commander, give Akagi a chance? What I said before is what Akagi really wants, so... give Akagi a chance to prove himself?"
Su Xin was delighted when she heard this and quickly asked, "Then I want to wear my own clothes."
"...Okay." Akagi loosened the rope of the talisman paper, "As long as the commander doesn't run away, Akagi is willing to listen to the commander."
"But if the commander deceives Akagi again."
"What will happen? Akagi doesn't know either..."
Chapter 568 Delay
"..."
"..."
In this quiet atmosphere, Javelin looked left and right with a subtle expression, and couldn't help but gently nudged Z23 who was standing next to him with his elbow.
"… Nimi-chan…"
Z23 glanced at her, feeling somewhat helpless, but finally moved closer to her to save face, and responded in a breathy voice imitating the javelin: "...What's wrong?"
Javelin glanced at the group of people standing in front of him like a thief, "Why... do we have to walk? Isn't the situation very urgent now?"
"Because it's been a long time, the smell is not so easy to catch. If I run faster, I might miss some clues, right?"
Javelin sniffed along with his delicate nose, but smelled nothing except the exhaust fumes from cars in the city and the faint scent of ink from the people around him.
"...Don't say that." Javelin sniffed twice more, "Why does the exhaust smell pretty good...?"
Z23 hesitated for a moment, but still did not mention those complicated chemical formulas and combustion products, and chose a simple explanation that Javelin could understand: "...if you smell too much chemical substances, you will become stupid."
"Well!"
The javelin covered its nose and blinked its eyes, staying quiet for a while. But soon, it became a little impatient and simply changed its target, turning its head to poke the expressionless Lafite on the other side.
"Lafei-chan... do you think the commander will be at the coordinates given by the locator?"
Rafi, who occasionally unlocked his phone to check messages, was stunned when he heard this. Without much hesitation, he shook his head and said, "...No."
"...Then why do we have to go to the scene to see it again?" Javelin pursed his lips, "Look, I run so fast, can't I just go over and check it out?"
Rafi pursed his lips, looked up at Tiancheng who was walking in the front row, and frowned.
"...Who knows."
"Tiancheng, I don't understand why we gathered together to check the coordinates of the locator. Is this necessary?"
Following behind Atago, Taiho, Royal Ark and Yubari who was holding a panel, Amagi sighed and looked up to meet the eyes of the neatly dressed Hood.
Indeed, dozens of them walking on the streets in the city center were very conspicuous, and passers-by would subconsciously cast puzzled glances at them.
It was too conspicuous, which not only made it difficult to find clues, but also easily exposed their position, allowing Akagi, who had kidnapped the young commander, to leave before them.
But in fact... this is what she wanted.
She wanted to give her sister Akagi a chance.
Akagi is indeed a little slow, rather stubborn, and has a relatively pathological personality... Tiancheng has known about these problems for a long time, but no matter how many times he has tried to persuade him, both openly and secretly, there has been no effect.
In this port area, Amagi, as one of the ship girls with higher status, can indeed help a lot in various aspects, but she does not want Akagi to be trapped in the pain of the past all her life like she is now.
Now, what Chicheng cares about most is Su Xin. Chicheng doesn't listen to what Tiancheng says as a family member. So if he changes it to "the baby I love", it should have some effect.
Yes, "favorite treasure" or "favorite thing" might be more appropriate, but Tiancheng doesn't really want to use the word "thing" to refer to Su Xin.
But... the nature is actually similar
Akagi's "love" for Su Xiaozhizhi is different from Tiancheng's. Tiancheng had foreseen this. If she had to describe it, she would say that she "fell in love with him over time." As for Akagi... it can probably only be described as "delighted at the sight of a prey."
This kind of liking is similar to the feeling when you see an exquisite item in a store. You always feel that you must buy it no matter what to make yourself feel satisfied.
Akagi's nature is even worse. I guess liking her only accounts for a small part of it. What's more important is probably her boundless possessiveness.
[I am quite interested in her, but she doesn't belong to me. She is closer to someone else. I want to get her, so I like her. I like her so much, how can I tolerate her becoming someone else's? So I want to snatch her away!]
The problem with this logic is that Akagi takes possession of Su Xin as the premise, and gradually deepens her illusion about Su Xin until she thinks she is deeply in love with the little commander.
This is wrong, Tiancheng knows, but this problem has become a mine lurking in the port area, and sooner or later a dispute will break out. It is expected that the right of choice will be given to Akagi who may defect at any time. It is better to give her a chance and solve it early.
As for whether Su Xin can succeed...it actually has little impact.
If the young commander could directly convince Akagi to calm down her temper, untie her knot, and think about her real demands, then everyone would be happy.
If the little commander fails to convince her and causes a rift between the two of them, that doesn't matter. After all... what's most tempting is what you can't get. As long as Su Xin has the initiative, Chicheng will naturally change under the guidance of the little commander.
Tiancheng was not worried about personal safety. She had instructed [Spirit] a few days ago to stay close to Su Xin and find a chance to show up. If there was any danger, the little commander knew what to do.
"Tiancheng? I'm asking you a question." Hood repeated it in a serious tone.
"Ah... sorry, I was worried about Susu and got distracted... I'm so sorry." Tiancheng lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly like fragile butterfly wings, which made Hood calm down silently.
"...I should apologize as well. My tone wasn't very nice. I'm sorry."
Tiancheng shook his head. "It's my fault for not disciplining them well... The children at home don't want to stay behind, and it's not convenient to go at full speed in a big city. If I let the children go alone to investigate, they might get hurt."
This reason was far-fetched, Tiancheng knew it, and Hu De, Yixian and other smart people knew it very well, but they did not question it any further, but gave him trust because of the young commander's liking for her.
However, this trust could no longer be maintained when they saw the abandoned objects.
The location was not difficult to find, and the route was determined by looking at the map. The group turned left and right, squeezed into an alley, and saw the discarded clothes in the trash can.
And underwear
Yixian's originally calm expression collapsed in an instant. She turned her head and looked at Tiancheng with a stern look. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she had to take out the phone and request intervention.
Since the city that Su Xin was in charge of was relatively stable and there were usually no police incidents, the "busy line" situation did not occur and the gendarmerie quickly answered the call.
Before Yixian could describe the situation, they had already given a reply that "the case is being processed". The reason was that Befa and Sheffield, who were staying in the gendarmerie to assist them in strengthening the surveillance deployment in the city, reported the case nearby after receiving the news.
[We are very grateful to Guigang for providing supplies and equipment to the gendarmerie, and for providing valuable advice on the security deployment of the entire city.]
[After learning the news, our captain took this incident very seriously and is currently using the system to track the location information of the relevant personnel. Please be patient and we will take responsibility to the end. ]
Yixian opened his mouth and could only respond, "...Thank you."
[You're welcome. This is what we should do. If you have any new clues, please call us in time to let us know. Bye.]
"it is good."
Yixian hung up the phone, looked up and glanced at Tiancheng who was silent on the opposite side, but in the end he said nothing and turned to walk towards the gendarmerie.
Someone took the lead, and although everyone hesitated, they still followed and left. Only Tiancheng, Hood, Guanghui and others were left behind.
"...Don't be angry, she is just worried." Hood patted Tiancheng's shoulder gently and comforted him.
Tiancheng shook his head, "I know."
Hood sighed and was about to turn around and catch up with the main group when he heard Tiancheng's cell phone ring. He asked hurriedly, "How is it? Do you have any clues?"
Tiancheng lowered his eyes and looked at the message sent from an unknown number on his phone: [Next city, Yuelai Hotel, 306]
She turned off her phone, smiled, and headed for the gendarmerie.
".No."
Chapter 569: Easing
His face was touched by the cool softness again. Commander Su, who successfully delivered the message, was in a good mood immediately. He sat cross-legged on the bed and thought of a solution.
She found that after the quarrel, Akagi seemed to have become much easier to talk to. Although his eyes were always on her, at least he didn't lock her in the bed anymore, which was a big improvement.
It was not long after breakfast that Su Xin was not hungry. She wanted to find something to pass the time while waiting for rescue.
But she left her cell phone at home, and she couldn't even find a book in the treasure bag. There wasn't even a TV in the room, and there was no furniture except a bed and a cabinet.
The talismans on his body were still attached. Although it was indeed warm, it would not look good if he was wrapped like a mummy. In addition, these talismans were controlled by Akagi.
"cough…!"
Akagi's somewhat dull expression suddenly changed, and he looked much more lively. "Commander? What's wrong? Is it cold? Akagi can help you raise the temperature a little bit?"
"Um... No, Akagi-nee, can I... wear my own clothes?"
These words, which sounded like they were distancing themselves from her, made Akagi a little unhappy, but considering that they had just had a fight, she didn't say anything and just nodded resentfully.
With a hook of his slender fingers, the talisman papers wrapped around his body began to peel off one by one, and after the paper surface was stretched out, they flew back into Akagi's wide sleeves.
Su Xin suddenly lost the heating and shivered in the cold air. She remembered that her clothes were not ready yet, so she hurriedly pulled up the quilt and got in before she was skinned like a boiled egg.
"You...you're too fast, couldn't you tell me first...?"
There was little hint of blame in her voice, but more of the joy and tenderness that seemed to be revealed involuntarily after her wish was fulfilled. This made Akagi's eyes light up, and his mood improved a lot.
The young commander huddled in the quilt, intending to take out clothes from the brocade bag to change into, but suddenly discovered that there were only a few sets of underwear he had prepared, and no outer clothes.
Su Xin was stunned, and then she remembered that her space had always only been filled with private items. Shirts, coats, pants, shoes and socks, etc., were basically put away by the maid.
In the past, Sheffield was in charge of her clothes. Every morning, he would take out a new set of clothes for her to change into, and then take the old clothes away for washing.
Later this task was handed over to Befa, and Sheffield was responsible for the busier and more fulfilling cleaning work.
Later, the clothes were handed over to the new maid Dido, who was responsible for handling the daily needs of the little commander, so... Su Xin's clothes are probably all in Dido's space at this moment.
Thinking of this, Su Xin felt a little regretful. She was naked under the quilt now, so it would be better for Chicheng to wrap her up with talisman paper.
The little commander hesitated for a moment, then took out his underwear and put it on quickly. He stared at Akagi who was kneeling beside the bed with great vigilance, and at the same time, he put his hands behind his back and pressed the buttons tightly.
The extra layer of clothing that covered very little area made Su Xin feel a little safer. She covered herself with the quilt and looked at Akagi for a moment, then spoke tentatively.
"Um...Akagi-sister."
"Hmm? Commander~What's the matter?"
"Do you have any... extra clothes?"
Akagi was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand and took out the seven trophies obtained from the [Pants Battle] and laid them out on the bed in a row in front of the shocked gaze of the little commander.
"Yes, they are all clean. Choose one? But remember to return them to me after you wear them. These are Akagi's things~"
"You, you, you...why haven't you thrown it away yet!" Su Xin was embarrassed and stretched out her arms to grab it, "Give it to me now!"
Akagi refused and quickly put away the seven pairs of pants. He also looked inside along the arm of the little commander and caught sight of the pure white bra.
"...so cute."
"What's cute? What are you looking at?" Su Xin looked down and quickly retracted her hand to roll up the quilt. "No...no love allowed!"
Akagi restrained himself and didn't go close to her. He just stayed where he was and smiled. The atmosphere between the two of them was so good that it seemed as if the quarrel just now was just imagination.
"Hehehe~ Is that something you need to wear outside? Akagi only has her own, right? It's probably a bit too big for the Commander, right?"
"Who are you looking down on?" The little commander grumbled, "Why don't you give it to me and let me try it and see?"
Akagi didn't hesitate, she took a set of open-chested heavy Sakura-style lining, matched it with a short skirt, and a dark thin robe, which looked not much different from her own ship uniform.
