Note 2: Suzuka Gozen is a legendary figure of the Sakura Empire. She is a demon girl dressed in an elegant kimono, skilled in magical powers and swordsmanship. She is also the prototype of the Yura ship's shikigami.
Note 3: The character illustration is not posted because there is a requirement for the image size. The skin version will most likely be banned, so only this one can be posted.
Note 4: Some group friends have searched through all the ships that fit the description of "Big Sister with Horns" and guessed it was Yura, but unfortunately they didn't guess it was Suzuka (sophistry!). Suzuka will not leave with anyone and will always be with Su Xin and Wu Dao, so you can watch it with confidence.
Chapter 718 Suzuka
In the Sakura Empire, there are two versions of the legend of Suzuka Gozen, but in fact, neither of them can perfectly fit the current situation.
According to Nagato, Suzuka's spirit is very weak and attached to a small magatama, so it cannot survive as an independent individual.
Moreover, her intelligence was damaged, so it became difficult for her to understand the meaning of words during conversations, which was why she was unable to give much of a response.
Her intelligence was probably diminished during the wandering process. If she had been possessed somewhere from the beginning, it would not have affected her mind, and she would not have become as confused as she is now.
The possessed magatama is easier to guess. Perhaps a certain Yura ship lost its spare parts, and by chance, the drifting [Suzuka] came across it.
[She] is originally the shikigami of the Yura ship. If she wants to rely on an object, she can only be attached to something related to the Yura ship. For this, Nagato praised [her] for her good luck.
"If [she] hadn't touched this magatama, it might have dissipated one day."
As for the reason for the formation of [Suzuka], Nagato was not sure and could only guess that perhaps it was a Rubik's Cube that fell into the sea and was picked up by someone in the early days of awakening into Yura.
The spirit had a simple structure and was formed first, but before the hull could manifest, the spell was interrupted and the awakening was terminated, which caused [Suzuka] to drift alone in this world.
"...I don't know which careless guy is responsible." Nagato retracted his hand and looked at [Suzuka] floating behind the little commander. "But now, it's a blessing in disguise."
Su Xin felt melancholy about this. She raised her hand and gently pinched the magatama that was stained with her body temperature. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is there any way to recover?"
After all, Suzuka can't be considered a complete ship girl, so it's hard to say whether the small wrench will be useful to her. We might as well take this opportunity to ask Nagato, who really knows the business.
Nagato did not hide it. For a long period of history, as the symbol of Sakura Empire, she had a lot to protect, and listening to the voices of her people became a compulsory course.
Clairvoyance is just one of the basic abilities. She also has telepathy and the like. Therefore, no one is more qualified than her to answer the question asked by Commander Su Xiao.
"As for the method of recovery...if you mean to turn her into a complete Yura ship, I am sorry that I can't do anything about it, but if you want to restore her sanity, I can try."
Seeing Su Xin's serious expression, Nagato also straightened his face and answered seriously: "In fact, [her] spirit body has merged with the magatama."
"If you want [her] to recover, you just need to let her take good care of the magatama, but it will take a long time."
Su Xin was stunned. "How to raise it? Soak it in a special potion?"
Suzuka understood what was said, and kept shaking her head behind the commander. Unfortunately, only Nagato could see it, but fortunately, Nagato did not give a reply of approval.
"It's not that troublesome. You just need to wear it every day. It's best to avoid direct sunlight. If you sweat, remember to wash it in time and keep yourself clean."
"...That's it?" Su Xin was stunned. "I've been wearing it all the time, and I don't sweat much..."
Nagato nodded, "In that case, you just need to wait quietly."
"Then...what should I do to see [her] like you?" Su Xin turned her head and looked back, but there was nothing there except the Emperor Mama who was blocking the sunlight.
"Hmm... opening the third eye? Cow's tears or something?"
"...What eyes? Cow's tears?" Nagato frowned and hesitated, "If you mean spiritual communication, I can't help you. It should be in her magical power, but she can't use it in her current situation."
"And I don't recommend you try to communicate with spirits. After all, there are other beings besides [her], and it's better for you... not to see them."
Even though she had lost [Fear], Commander Su Xiao still felt a chill run down her spine. She remembered that Azur Lane didn't seem to be a horror game...
"For now, you should just live your life peacefully. She will eventually recover." Nagato advised, then turned around and said, "I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."
"Eh? Goodbye..."
The young commander thought silently. If he asked the Siren for help in this matter, he wondered if the Siren could use the magatama as the core to create a body for Suzuka.
After all, she had a very good impression of [Suzuka], and he had helped her more than once, but until now, she still didn't know what he looked like.
But this is something to be considered later. The most urgent task is to restore Suzuka's mental state to its previous level. Everything else can be put aside.
After figuring it out, Su Xin looked up and prepared to say goodbye to Frederick the Great, but she saw Nagato standing not far away, looking around, looking quite embarrassed.
"…What's wrong?"
"I, I'm lost..."
Su Xin was quite surprised. It seemed that the port area had indeed become much larger after the expansion. Those who had always lived here didn't feel anything, but the new ship girls might not feel the same.
"Looks like I need to find a chance to make some signposts?" Su Xin silently made a note for Ming Miao, "Well... then let's go together? I have to go back to my room too, so I can introduce you to the old and new dormitories."
Nagato blushed and nodded shyly, "Sorry to bother you..."
"Well, you're welcome."
Yixian in the room was checking her phone and heard the door open. Before she could say anything, she saw the little commander rushing into the bathroom.
"...Are you in such a hurry? Did you have a stomachache?" Yixian stood up worriedly and knocked on the bathroom door. "Susu? Are you okay?"
"Eh? Great, sister, do you want to use the toilet?"
"No, I thought you were feeling unwell."
"No, I just want to take a shower. It's okay. You can continue with your work, sister."
Yixian responded hesitantly, then sat back in her seat and continued to check the "Hong Kong News". She did not go out this morning and no one notified her, so she only found out now that there were several new members in the family.
Aside from Kui Neto and Deutsch, Frederick the Great and Jean Bart seemed to have not spoken since they joined the group, and there was also Nagato who seemed to... not have come in?
I don’t know if she didn’t buy a mobile phone or didn’t apply for a card in time. It is said that she is a little girl who speaks a little awkwardly. Yixian is quite curious.
I thought I would ask her when Su Xin came back, but she went to the bathroom as soon as she came in. The group chat said they had already taken a bath, so why were they in such a hurry to take a bath?
The more Yixian thought about it, the more strange it felt. She was afraid that the young commander had been bullied, so she simply stood up again and planned to knock on the door to find out what was going on. However, before she could raise her hand, she heard Su Xin inside asking in a low voice:
"[Suzuka], do you want me to apply some? Well... although that hole is not easy to clean, I will try my best to make you clean."
Yat-sen: ???
Chapter 719 Look at Your Ability
Today is the weekend, and the children have a rare holiday to play, but their rhythm is disrupted by the sudden "moving".
In fact, this decision was not made on a whim. After all, the camp dormitories have been built for some time, and the addition of new ship girls has made the rooms in the old dormitories a bit tight.
Su Xin thought about it and decided to let them move directly into the new house to avoid having to move again in the future. Although having a large space is convenient, rearranging the furniture is also a hassle.
It just so happens that the weather is very good today, so after moving, I can take the opportunity to dry my quilts and clothes to prevent mushrooms from growing on the beds of those guys who don’t go out for three days.
There are currently five camp dormitories built, including Donghuang, Chongying, Royal, White Eagle and Iron Blood.
Since there were only five people in Donghuang including Su Xin, she directly brought in the ship girls outside the five major camps to live with them. As for the original old dormitory, she just used it as visitor accommodation.
Rafi would obviously move in with the little commander. After all, after experiencing the happiness of sleeping in the same bed, she certainly wouldn't go back to the White Eagle dormitory to sleep alone.
"..Although the villa is very comfortable..."
"There's a big TV and Sister Helena..."
But Lafite is ambitious, and it is impossible for her to abandon her beloved commander and run back to her mother's home just for such a small convenience!
“…It’s definitely not for kissing, um, definitely not…” Having tasted the sweetness, Rafi licked his lips and obediently packed his luggage.
She actually has a lot of things to collect, such as a whole cabinet of red wine, a full box of rabbit ears, and pillows of various materials and styles.
There is no need to say much about red wine and rabbit ear hair accessories, and filling her closet with pillows is also a necessity for her.
Under normal circumstances, use a pillow made of normal material. If you are too tired, change to a softer one. If you take a nap in class, use a ring-shaped pillow with an opening in the middle.
If you want to sleep with your little conductor, take out the inverted "concave" pillow with space at the bottom to make it easier for your little conductor to put his arms through the pillow and hug himself.
And the special pillow I bought before, which has "YES" printed on one side and "NO" printed on the other side, is also very useful and I must bring it with me.
There were just too many things, and she would need to make several trips back and forth to get them all. Rafi sighed while hugging the pillow and glanced at the little commander who had very few things.
Su Xin noticed it, thought about it and laughed at her: "Don't count on me, Eugen is still here, how can I help you move, you should walk a few more times, you need to exercise."
"......snort."
Yixian also laughed, mainly because he thought Lafite was naive. What was the point of picking so many pillows? Anyway, they would have to sleep separately after moving to Donghuang dormitory.
After all, there are few people, so there must be enough rooms. Given Su Xin's personality, she probably won't continue living with three people in one room.
Besides, my wedding dress has been sewn and my feelings have been conveyed. I am just waiting for the little commander to come over with the ring and propose to me.
During the period before marriage, according to custom, it is better not to live together. As for after marriage... you can live however you want.
Yixian was still very much looking forward to marriage. During this period, she was extremely tolerant of making concessions. Besides, it was not called concession. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use the term "retreat to advance".
As if she had thought of something, Yixian pursed her lips and blushed slightly, then she hurried to cheer herself up so as not to let the other two see her embarrassing state and laugh at her.
She didn't have much to move. Ming Miao seemed to have prepared wooden tables and chairs. She only needed to bring calligraphy and paintings, tea sets and other things.
As for Su Xin, there was even less.
Most of the clothes were in the three maids' spaces, and the underwear was kept by themselves. Apart from the books, there were only a few documents and manuscripts recording data that needed to be moved.
Befa and Sheffield also went back to pack their things, leaving Dido to act as a human-shaped storage box. Su Xin only needed to take out the things and put them together. There was basically nothing else she needed to do.
As for not helping Lafite, of course she just said it casually. After all, teasing others can be a lot of fun. Even if it's just poking the puffy cheek, it is an important source of her good mood.
The packing process went quite quickly. Before the sun rose high in the sky, the four people in the room opened the door and headed for their new home.
The road was quite busy. The dormitories of several camps were relatively close to each other, so they all took the same route and soon formed a team.
Rafi was helplessly pulled to the back by Javelin, and started whispering with the other two members of the Big Three. Su Xin took a look and saw that it was basically Javelin who was talking.
Ayanami listened with a wooden face. Z23 was obviously distracted by something else and not paying attention to the conversation. As for Lafite, he answered something to Javelin with a slightly red face, causing the other party to cover his lips and exclaim.
"What's wrong? Susu?"
The little commander shook his head. "No, I just feel a little hot for no reason. Sister Yixian, has Changchun already set off?"
Yixian was not sure. "Based on her personality, she should not have gotten up yet, right? I will go and wake her up after we have cleaned up."
Ning Hai, who was following beside him, shook his head and sighed, "Alas... He is obviously one of the four sacred beasts, but he can only attack by throwing torpedoes with his bare hands, and he doesn't practice martial arts early. It's really..."
"Sister is right, but... do we still need to practice now?" Pinghai subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Ning Hai paused for a moment, thinking that it seemed so. They all made a lot of money each month, and they didn't need to perform on the streets like before. Was it really necessary for them to continue practicing?
Amid Yixian's chuckle, Ning Hai stammered and squeezed out a reason, "The main thing is that if we don't practice, Dabao and Erbao will definitely get fat!"
Dabao, who was standing on Ning Hai's shoulder, was stunned when he heard this. He was a vegetarian, so how could he get fat? This was absolutely slanderous!
Dabao, who took the blame, poked his head to glance at Erbao on Pinghai's head, and they nodded to each other. Each of them pulled Ninghai's hair, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Well, this is a good habit, so you'd better stick to it, okay?" Yixian poked Dabao's soft butt, "Don't learn from Changchun, who always stays at home all night without sleeping. It's not good for your health, you know?"
"Well, Sister Yixian is right!" Pinghai paused and added, "Sister Ninghai is right too!"
As a result, he enjoyed the disco service on Erbao's head and lost several hairs. It was not until Su Xin raised her hand and picked up the little panda and put it on her shoulder that Pinghai was saved from the baldness.
"Hmm... I really don't know what the new house will be like. Will there be no electricity?"
"What are you thinking about?" Yixian gave Su Xin a glare. "It's just that the exterior is more retro, and the facilities inside are similar to the villa in White Eagle."
Commander Su was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands, "I can take a bath in the tub at home!"
Yixian raised his hand helplessly and poked Su Xin's forehead, with a doting tone in his voice.
"Look at what you have accomplished..."
Chapter 720 Moving (1
"Hehehe... Let's move towards a bright future with Indy-chan... Hehehe..."
Indy was stunned for a moment, he looked up at his sister who was standing beside the bed, laughing and inexplicably closing her eyes and pouting. He felt that something was not right.
They just moved house, not replaced the super-powerful light bulbs. How can there be a bright future? Are the lights in the new house brighter?
Although he didn't quite understand, Indy knew very well that it would be better not to disturb his sister at this time, otherwise he would fall into an endless conversation hell.
Recently, she made friends with many people and found that her slow reaction was not laughed at by others, but was praised by Nagashima as a "cute point".
Indy didn't know what the "cute point" was, but she later checked it on her phone and realized that Nagashima was praising himself for being cute.
This is different from the feeling of her sister sticking to her all day and repeating "Indy-chan is the cutest in the world". Indy thinks what Nagashima said may be more true, which is why she feels happy.
When she was with everyone, there was always a specific time left for her to react or express her opinions, which made Indy feel like she was being pampered.
In fact, she felt a little ashamed, although not much, but the thought of "causing trouble to others" would still pop up occasionally.
