The little swan forked a piece of cake and whispered to Neptune beside him, "Who is Sister Hood talking about...?"
Neptune didn't move his mouth, and answered vaguely: "Her boyfriend..."
“…Huh?!”
Looking at the little swan's surprised expression, Neptune shook his head helplessly and took a big sip of tea, feeling like he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.
The Glorious Sisters on the other side were obviously discussing similar topics.
"Terrible?"
"Hmm? Sister, what's wrong?"
"How is the progress between you and Susu now?"
Kewei, who maintained her ladylike image in front of her elder sister, spat out a mouthful of tea back into the cup, took the handkerchief that the maid had prepared in anticipation, and coughed for a long time before she refuted with red eyes.
"Sister~Don't mention this kind of thing anymore..."
"Haha, my Kewei is shy. I saw all the photos in your room last time clearly, okay?"
"Those are not
Before he finished speaking, the real owner arrived, "Ah? What photos?"
Guanghui glanced at his stunned sister, patted her hand, then turned to the little commander and said, "Susu, are you here? Come and sit down. Kewei and I have a lot to say to you."
"Eh? Really?" Su Xin sat down and glanced at her, biting her lip and frowning, her face flushed red. After hesitating for a moment, she asked her, "So angry? I should... not owe you salary, right?"
Awesome: ...?
Chapter 784 Preparations before Birthday (2
"Susu, did you come here specially today to meet someone?"
The seated commander took a sip of the tea and was a little confused by Guanghui's slightly teasing question. "Hmm... No? If I must say, I came to see everyone."
The face of Kewei, who had lowered his eyes and remained silent, tensed up, and his originally slightly shy expression suddenly became complicated.
How should I put it? This answer was within her expectations, but it also buried some of her expectations in her heart. As expected, one cannot have too much hope for wood.
Guanghui, on the other hand, was very happy about this and became visibly happy after hearing it. "Ah... If I say this suddenly, someone will be unhappy, right?"
"...Who is it?" Su Xin glanced at the ship girls present, and finally fixed her eyes on them. "Sister Sheffield, do you already know?"
The maid carrying the teapot glanced at the carrier, who looked even worse, and then replied expressionlessly: "Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Well... the observer accidentally crushed your package when he was picking it up, and the teacup inside..."
Hood was stunned when he heard this. When he realized what was going on, he immediately became angry and smiled through gritted teeth, "That's the cup I spent a lot of money to customize...!"
"Uh... She said she can make one for you out of gold. Crystal is also fine. We have plenty of them in the base..."
"Who - ahem... who would care about the compensation she offers?" Hood took a sip of red tea to calm his nerves. "Just pay according to the price. After all, I really don't agree with her aesthetics."
Su Xin couldn't make the decision on this matter, and she wasn't the one passing the message, so she scratched her head and didn't say anything. Little Swan stared at Hood for a while, as if he wanted to see a flower in him.
As for what was scary, although it was her own problem to have unauthorized expectations, she didn't necessarily need a legitimate reason to be angry and embarrassed. What's more, the other party was really blind, and she felt suffocated if she couldn't vent her anger.
The little commander who was about to ask about the birthday party suddenly felt a pain in his foot. He pulled his legs back and subconsciously used his knees to push against the table. "Ah?!"
The porcelain tea set, which should have jumped up on the spot after being hit, was easily suppressed under the weight of Guanghui's forward leaning, making only a slight noise. It was Su Xin's scream that was more frightening.
Everyone looked at the little commander wearing a mask of pain, not quite sure what was going on. They wanted to ask about the situation, but Kewei, who was sitting next to the little commander, took the lead and asked with concern:
"Ouch, Commander, did you bump into something? Why are you so careless? Let me see, does it hurt?"
Su Xin glared at her, "Being hit by a force strong enough to pierce the center of the earth, what do you think...?"
Terrible: (X·v·⊙)
Guanghui, who was sitting next to the little conductor, was leaning on the table the whole time, so he didn't see the "collision accident" below. He thought he had kicked something, so he turned around and bent down to see.
As a result, he felt top-heavy and almost fell into the ground with a forward fall.
Su Xin reacted quickly and put her hands on Guanghui's thin shoulders. The unexpected impact bent the chair legs and hit Kewei who was unprepared.
Then, like dominoes, the three people sitting in a row fell to the ground amid exclamations. The young conductor who was trapped in the middle even made a painful "uh" sound and fell silent.
The little swan was wondering who the "object" Neptune was talking about was, but he was so frightened by this sudden situation that he stopped eating his fork and opened his mouth, not knowing whether to eat or speak.
Sheffield and War-weary reacted the fastest, but the one with small breasts just took a look and sat back. It was really shameful to watch and it hurt her self-esteem.
It was the maid who performed her duty conscientiously. She put her arms around Guanghui's waist and dragged him up, then pulled up the little commander who was almost broken, and finally went to save the aircraft carrier whose butt was stuck in the ground.
After some effort, the trio finally managed to stand up, but the two uniquely shaped "radish pits" on the ground were really a bit outrageous.
"...Sheffie, can you take care of it right away?"
The maid paused and took out a small shovel, "...Miss Terrible, I will do my best."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to change my clothes. Sorry to leave you now."
The little commander, holding his waist, watched Kewei walk into the dormitory, a little dazed. Guanghui, holding a handkerchief, helped wipe his face, "Don't you want to go over and take a look? She will be very sad."
"Uh... will it help if I go...?"
"How do we know if we don't try? Anyway, it's better than us going there, right?" Guanghui blinked gently, showing her dirty skirt and palms, "Besides, it's not convenient for me."
"Oh... I'll go take a look then."
After Su Xin finished speaking, she quickly brushed the mud off her butt and started chasing after him. Guanghui looked at her with a motherly gaze until she disappeared from sight.
"Well... as your elder sister, I am also helping out."
"...Awesome sister?"
The aircraft carrier sitting on the single sofa in the hall moved, without looking back, just staring at the fragrant flowers blooming in the vase on the table in a daze.
Su Xin thought about it and didn't call anyone. Instead, she slowly walked to Kewei's side and sat on another single sofa across the low table in the middle.
She actually didn't quite understand why she became so unhappy after falling, even though she was so happy when her foot was stepped on.
"...Are you hurt from the fall?" the young commander asked tentatively.
Kewei blinked and looked at Su Xin, who was concerned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "...Am I really that heavy?"
“…Huh?”
"What's with that surprised expression on your face?" Kewei turned his head and looked around to make sure no one was around. He then leaned over and gently pinched the commander's arm, "It's all your fault!"
"Hiss...ah? What does it have to do with me? I didn't blame you for stepping on my foot."
"How can you discuss a girl's weight so bluntly? This is too much..."
Su Xin was stunned, and suddenly realized, "Oh... you pressed the grass out - woo woo -!"
"No, don't say that!" Kewei blushed and covered his mouth with his teeth. "It was an accident! It must have rained, or someone watered it this morning, so it became so soft!"
The young commander struggled to pull away Kewei's hand and ruthlessly said, "It's been sunny these past two days, so it must be getting harder and harder. Besides, no one is watering the grass, right?"
"You still say that!"
Su Xin was happy, "Sister Kewei, you are obviously a ship girl, your physical condition will always be in the best condition, why do you care so much about your weight?"
"Kanmusume are girls too." Kewei retorted unhappily, "Some girls care about their weight and some don't. I'm one of those girls who cares a lot about it. Is that okay?"
"Well... of course you can, but I think you're already good enough now, if you lose more..."
Ke Wei was stunned when he heard this, and a glimmer of hope ignited. He hurriedly asked, "What will happen if I lose more weight?"
"If it's any smaller, it won't look like a Glorious-class aircraft carrier anymore."
"Glorious class, what? You actually said we...Su! Xin!"
Chapter 785 Preparations before Birthday (3
"Don't mention what happened today anymore!"
"Yes, yes... But even if I didn't mention it, everyone saw it today. Changdao would still know about it. If she knew about it, then the whole Hong Kong area would know about it."
Kewei glared at the little commander angrily, "It's all your fault anyway!"
"Can this be blamed on me?" Su Xin felt wronged. "If you really mind, I'll help you lose weight next time? Exercise or something."
"...Didn't you say that the physical condition of the ship girl won't change?"
"Then why do you care so much about your weight... when you know it won't change."
Kewei opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to say that he looked at the face on the electronic scale every day, and let the data determine his mood for the whole day.
The weight of the ship girls is quite mysterious. If you want to say how outrageous it is, it is at the level of tens of thousands of tons that can easily crush the ground, but if you want to say how reasonable it is, it is the weight of a normal person.
If you really want to use a scale to measure, it is obviously not very reliable. If you are not careful, you can step on the precision instrument and break it into pieces.
Although she knew all these truths, she still cared about them. After all, the root of the problem happened in her memory. That "impatient" entry into the water caused the big waste of weight today.
Su Xin looked at the lost aircraft carrier, thought for a moment and simply invited: "Why don't you exercise with me? It will definitely be useful."
"......real?"
"Well, really."
According to the "cognition affects the body" theory mentioned by the Purifier, it is actually useful. As long as Kewei sincerely believes that he has lost weight, his weight will actually change.
But the difficulty of this method lies in how to change the concept of a person who subconsciously believes that KanColle is eternal.
Su Xin was not sure, but she felt that exercise was always beneficial. At least it would make her more energetic and give the other person a positive psychological hint.
Kewei didn't have much confidence, but she was still moved by the encouragement of the young commander and agreed without much hesitation.
"Well... it's a deal then? Get up early tomorrow and I'll take you jogging."
"Eh? But what about the clothes?"
"Oh, you don't have any sportswear, right? Then I'll borrow—" The little commander glanced at the other person's size, "...you can buy it yourself."
"......oh."
The two of them ran out of topics to talk about, and the hall suddenly became quiet, until Kewei remembered the promise the young commander had made in the past, and immediately brought up old accounts.
"You asked me for help before, and even said you wanted to treat me to a concert, but now you won't even take me shopping for clothes?!"
"When was it?" Su Xin also remembered that she wanted to use the awesome time stop to grab the pants, "... Sorry, I can't remember it all of a sudden, when was the concert held?"
Kewei seized the opportunity and hummed proudly, "Not yet, but since you dare to forget the promise you made, I can charge you some interest, right?"
"The interest is...shopping?"
"Hmm~"
The two absent people finally came back. Seeing the smile on Kewei's face, Guanghui, as an elder sister, was quite satisfied and asked them to come and sit down.
Kewei was almost suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) about that position. She reluctantly moved over and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the hole on the ground had been filled.
Su Xin took a closer look and found that the soil at that location was relatively soft and the grass had just been covered. It was probably because Sheffield had found some soil from somewhere to fill it up.
Kewei was embarrassed by the little commander's curiosity. He pushed her back gently and said to her softly, "Stop looking!"
"Ah? I just think Sister Sheffield's craftsmanship is very good, and the traces of repair are not very obvious."
The maid standing not far away bowed slightly and said, "You are too kind. If you really believe in my skills, please don't repair clothes without permission in the future. This is our duty."
"Uh... I just did it casually..."
Kewei couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his hand and pressed the young commander's shoulder, pushing him to his seat. Then he sat down and stretched out his legs to quietly kick the ground a few more times to erase the traces and make the grass more solid.
Su Xin learned her lesson this time. She pretended not to see anything and turned her attention directly to the other ship girls at the tea party.
"I came here to ask you about the arrangements for the birthday party."
Everyone was stunned. Hood was the first to come to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Guanghui, "Exposed again? Did you tell Changdao?"
Guanghui shook her head. She was also puzzled. She couldn't even enter the scary room. She was spending time at home these days. How could she have the chance to tell Changdao?
Hood certainly believed in Guanghui and turned his head directly, "...Royal Ark, do you have anything else to say?"
"Ah? What?" Royal Ark, who had been secretly staring at the little swan eating the cake, was stunned. "What should I say?"
Neptune was so happy that he added, "No need, just say you did it."
Royal Ark was not to blame for this inexplicable incident. After listening to Hood's description, she immediately said righteously: "Hood, you know me well. My loyalty to the little angel is evident to all!"
Hood looked at the little swan with cream on its mouth again, but the little swan felt wronged.
