"Oh...it's okay. Resting anywhere is resting." Su Xin rubbed the back of Beifa's neck and said softly, "Just sleep here...Um, Observer, you should have changed the sheets, right...?"
"Shout, don't compare me to the Purifier."
"...That's right. After octopuses lay eggs, they often spray water to clean them. So you must be very clean, right? Then let me lie down for a while?"
The observer was annoyed, "My ship suit just looks more like an octopus! Don't compare me to animals casually!"
The extremely sleepy little commander hummed and moved towards the ball as the maid leaned over. After hugging the heavy "octopus eggs", he shrank into the quilt.
"Mmm...your balls are so warm."
"That's the [Core]! Don't say weird things!" The observer angrily stretched out his hand, pinched Su Xin's cheek and twisted it, "No! You! Can't! Sleep! Didn't you say you would come to see me? Did you bring any food?"
"...Hmm? I don't think I'm going to come and see it. If you're hungry, go get some breakfast first..."
"Su! Xin!"
"It's so noisy... What's that shiny thing over there?"
"Hey! Don't touch my screen!"
"This picture... is it of me? My face is not that round. Um... my nose should be a little higher..."
"Su!!! Xin!!!"
Chapter 823 Great!
Su Xin, who had fallen asleep holding the octopus tentacle, opened her eyes and saw the observer next to her with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Wipe your saliva! It's so disgusting..."
The little commander was stunned and raised his hand to touch his mouth. There really was a little bit. Then he looked at the tentacles held in his arms. Hmm... the tip was quite moist.
"...So I bit it?"
The observer pulled back his tentacle, ignoring Su Xin's disgusted voice, and deliberately rubbed it on the other's clothes again and again, "Bite? I think you think it's a chicken leg?"
"Hey! I have a handkerchief!"
"I'll just rub it!"
"you?!"
"snort?"
Su Xin was so angry that she turned around and put the warm iron ball in her arms. She was about to get out of bed and run away. "Even if she is a little octopus, I can't let you teach her bad things!"
The observer frowned, "Hey! Put it down! It's mine!"
"I was the one who caught it!" Su Xin ran away in her slippers, opened the door and jumped directly onto Beifa, "Sister, run away!"
Listening to the angry call of the observer in the room, the little commander touched the metal ball in his arms, humming with satisfaction, "I'll give it back to you when you get better~"
"Su-!! Xinyi!!"
The commander patted Beifa's shoulder and said, "Hey, hey, let's go. She didn't use her octopus claws to stop us, which means she has acquiesced!"
in the room
After closing the door, the octopus girl lowered her eyes to look at the tentacle covered with saliva, and then glanced at the face on the screen that combined the facial features of both of them.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. It's barely acceptable."
After a break, it was already afternoon.
The message from Tiancheng on the phone made Su Xin feel relieved. She finally didn't have to reply to letters anymore.
Of course, only today.
Although she had slept through half of her rare vacation, there was still half a day left. As for where to go and what to do, she had to think carefully about it.
"Well... I don't want to go back to sleep, but I haven't decided where to go yet. How about Sister Beifa, can you put me on the bench first?"
Belfa smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry. For a ship girl, your weight of less than 100 kilograms is really nothing. As for where to go... I do have a suggestion."
Su Xin patted the maid's shoulder and said, "Hmm? Tell me quickly, where are we going?"
"Since you need to rest and don't want to stay in bed, why don't you go to Miss Sakurano's place? The hot springs can relax your muscles and relieve fatigue. And if you want, you can bring Cheshire with you."
"Oh right! Wait, if Lafite went to class... wouldn't she be alone at home now?! Come on, let's go home first!"
"Don't worry, Dido and Sheffie are here."
"That's good... Well, I still need to add her contact information. I haven't been able to do so much these past two days."
"Thank you for your hard work. If you hold on for a while, this kind of social frenzy will probably calm down."
"Well, I hope so."
"Little Cheshire?"
"Hmm? Sister, are you calling me?"
"Well, um... could you please return the master's socks to me first...?"
The young cat girl glanced at the white cotton socks in her hand, blinked, and began to put them on her little feet, "But I want to try them on..."
Dido swept the messy room, wanting to cry but unable to, "I, I have a new one here, okay? Can you put the master's back?"
"But I want to wear the same socks as Sister Su, and... clothes! But it's so big... Wow~ It's turned into a skirt!"
"Then, then I'll go and help you find it? How about you take off the master's clothes first?"
"Hehe~ No! It smells so good!"
Sheffield, who was cleaning up the mess, received Dido's gaze asking for help. She turned around without hesitation and started cleaning in another direction. After all, she was not very good at taking care of children.
Especially for a child who is curious about everything, you can't say she did anything wrong, nor can you easily summarize it as "making trouble". After all, most of the time she just finds it new and interesting.
Sheffield, who is known for his tough attitude, announced that he would give up resistance, and Dido, who is soft-hearted, was even less able to stop the curious little cat girl.
Seeing Cheshire exploring everywhere with her little body, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and crawling into any hole she saw, she finally dug out the stockings that had been kept at the bottom of the closet from the corner.
"Everyone knows this! Sister Hao and the others all like to wear this! It feels very comfortable!"
Dido glanced at her legs and silently took two steps back. "Then...then can little Cheshire come out first? Otherwise, when the master comes back and sees the mess in the closet, he will definitely punish Dido..."
Little Cheshire's expression became serious, and he immediately puffed out his chest, "No! Sister Su is very good, and she will take the initiative to admit her mistakes!"
"No, so that..."
"Ah, I return the white socks to you."
"Eh? Ah...thank you?"
"I want to try these black socks that feel good..."
Dido was shocked and rushed forward to stop her, "No, no, what if it gets snagged... and, and the size is not suitable..."
Little Cheshire refused. It's not like she has never worn stockings before. It's just that the stockings that come with her war suit are white. She has never worn black stockings, so she just wanted to try it. Is it necessary to be so nervous?
Neither side wanted to give up, but was also afraid of really tearing their socks, so they could only stand inside and outside, confronting each other.
Dido thought this was a fine idea. Sheffield could take the opportunity to clean up the room, and she would be responsible for delaying time. When Su Xin came back, she would be free.
But the clever little Cheshire rolled his eyes, raised his hand to close the wardrobe door and propped it with his foot, then began to put on stockings on the other foot in the dark.
The wooden door was not as strong as steel. Dido did not dare to pull it hard, so she could only tap on it to persuade the person to come out. Cheshire, however, huddled in the middle of a pile of fragrant clothes and continued to work hard.
When she had put one leg on and was about to switch legs, she heard Dido outside the closet calling out in panic, "Master, Master, Sister Befa, you are back..."
Little Cheshire's eyes lit up, and he wanted to go out to show Sister Su the "short-sleeved skirt" he had found, but he suddenly realized the dire situation.
Not to mention the room outside, the clothes that were bunched up in the closet and wrinkled from her sitting on them for a long time were enough to make her panic.
"It's over... I wanted to help the maid clean up after I got dressed... Why did Sister Su come back so early?"
Listening to the approaching footsteps outside, little Cheshire subconsciously buried himself in the pile of clothes, but it had little effect. After the closet door was opened, the pair of cat ear headbands were really conspicuous.
Little—Chai—shire—?"
"Um...I'm sorry, Sister Su...I just wanted to try on your clothes..."
Su Xin, who had recovered some strength, took off the pants covering the other person's head, lifted the little cat girl out of the cloth by her armpits, and patted her little butt in front of the helpless Dido.
"You want to apologize to Sister Dido and Sister Sheffield? Look, it's a mess."
"Ugh... Sorry... Cheshire didn't mean it..."
"Okay, it's my fault for leaving you alone at home, so...how about we go out and play?"
"......Huh?" The little cat girl with red eyes was stunned, "Are you really not angry?"
"No, just wear it if you like. It's just this length... you can wear my short-sleeved shirt as a skirt."
Speaking of this, Cheshire immediately turned from sadness to joy and laughed softly, "Right, right? I knew it would be nice...ah, where are we going to play?"
"Well... let's take a bath in the warm water. There's also sweet milk. Drinking it will help you grow taller, right?"
"Wow...ah, but I have to help the maid clean the room first."
Su Xin touched Little Cheshire's head, and seeing her narrowed eyes, she smiled as well, "Then let's do the general cleaning first. You're in charge of the wardrobe, okay?"
“Okay!”
Chapter 824 Should I say you have good hearing or are you hard of hearing?
Since little Cheshire had extraordinary expectations for the "sister outfits", Su Xin finally had to pick out a set of clothes she usually wore and help her change into them.
If the hem of your short-sleeved shirt is too long, roll it up to the side of your waist and tie a knot. Your shorts can be worn as cropped pants, which is quite suitable. Just tighten the belt a little to prevent the pants from falling down.
Socks are barely wearable, but shoes are a little troublesome.
Little Cheshire seemed to be even younger than some of the students in the Sakura kindergarten. He couldn't find a pair of casual shoes that fit him for a while, so he had to make do with the round-toed shoes that came with the original ship.
Even so, Cheshire was still happy to have a new set of clothes. He touched the small bag around his waist with curiosity and looked down at his ordinary pants.
"Do I look pretty?" The little guy looked up at Su Xin with his big eyes, "Will it be inappropriate?"
"Yeah...don't worry, it's cute and quite suitable."
"Hey hey hey... I'm being praised... So shall we set off now? Go take a shower?"
Su Xin nodded, then looked at the three maids, "Would you like to go together? I guess there's nothing I need your help with, right?"
Belfa smiled and took a step back. "Although I really want to agree to your request, I'm sorry. I need to take care of the royal tea party today. Dido and Sheffield are fine, right?"
Dido pinched her fingers and responded with a bit of embarrassment, while Sheffield was much more efficient. She pulled out a pistol from under her skirt and spun it on one finger, showing off her coolness, causing little Cheshire to exclaim repeatedly.
So the four people who were leaving the port decided to do so. They packed their spare clothes and set off right away while there was still time.
Sheffield is responsible for taking care of the baby. After all, as a secret agent, she carries all kinds of things with her. Although she doesn't know how to coax a child, as long as she is cool enough, she can ensure that the little one doesn't run around.
Dido followed behind Su Xin quietly.
She is not good at chatting, and most of the time when she speaks, she is apologizing and blaming herself. She thinks it is better to keep her mouth shut and do her job well than to hesitate and be unable to answer.
Unfortunately, the little commander did not do as she wished. He kept saying something about everything he thought of. Dido had to answer nervously, but after a while she relaxed a lot.
"So you guys are also the ones who clean the bathhouse that Ming Miao opened in the port area? That's too much..."
"No, it's okay. After all, it's a public facility... If it's clean, everyone will feel more comfortable using it..."
"But she asks me for maintenance fees every month! I thought she paid for the maintenance herself, but I didn't expect that the cleaning was done by the maid and the maintenance was done by Yubari. What a profiteer..."
Dido wanted to say something to help, but she couldn't find any advantages. After a long pause, she gave a dry compliment: "But...but Ming Miao, the cleaning tools she provided are very useful..."
Su Xin laughed, "What's that? Just to make you feel more comfortable doing hard labor? No, I will definitely not pay you this month!"
The maid nervously pinched the hem of her skirt, turned her head and looked back, exchanged a glance with Sheffield who was playing with a butterfly knife with one hand, then turned back to look at the little commander, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Su Xin didn't mind. She didn't talk to Dido to get a response, but just didn't want her to fall into that autistic state.
Unfortunately, she wasn't very good at finding topics to talk about. After thinking for a while, she couldn't figure out the follow-up, so she simply started requesting interaction.
"Sister Dido, my legs are sore. Can you carry me for a while? We should be there soon."
"Eh? Of course you can..."
The maid squatted down quickly, and waited for the soft body to cover her back. Then she raised her hands and hooked them back to fix her legs, then stood up and weighed them lightly.
"You...you seem a little light..."
