"If you're too rude in front of everyone, Befa will get angry."
“QA Q…”
Belfa glanced at her sister who was sweeping the floor with a wronged look on her face, sighed helplessly, and decided to keep a closer eye on the smaller version of herself. If she grew crooked and became like Edinburgh, it would be really difficult to deal with.
"Befa, the things over there have been sorted out..."
"Thank you, Dido. I'll take care of the rest." Seeing her colleagues' curious eyes on little Beifa, Beifa smiled and advised, "Go and get to know her. I may need you to take care of her in the future."
"Eh? I, I can't do it... I, I can't do anything well..."
"That's not the case. As an apprentice maid, she still has a lot to learn. And when it comes to taking care of the commander, you are obviously more experienced than me."
Dido blushed at the compliment and didn't know how to respond at this time. After being gently pushed by the head maid, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the little Beifa who was surrounded by everyone.
Watching her younger self overcoming her nervousness and trying hard to answer questions, Belfa couldn't help but feel a little emotional. However, when she thought of the not-so-peaceful port area and Commander "Magneto", she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I still have a long way to go."

Chapter 851: My childhood friend saw me being intimate with her sister after I grew up
My name is Count Zeppelin.
Yes, that’s my full name, five characters.
From a human perspective, it may seem strange to use a title as a name, but that's how KanColle is.
If you know Admiral Count Spee, you probably understand that this naming method is very common.
In fact, some members' names start with a letter and end with a number. Sounds even more impersonal, right?
In fact, this is also my consistent impression of the [Iron Blood Camp]
Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed a member of Iron Blood. However, this does not mean that I have a deep sense of belonging to it. On the contrary, I don't like it.
To tell you why...
If you compare it to a parent and me to a baby, it will feed me when it remembers, and leave me aside when it doesn't remember.
Even when danger came, he wanted to kill me. Although the motive can be summarized as "conflict" or "risk", from my point of view, it is not competent, right?
I once trusted it so much that after it got lost, I tried every way to get back. I gave up my close friends and endless cakes, just to get back to it and do my part.
But what’s the result?
The result was years of neglect and two sinkings into the deep and empty seabed.
If things continue to develop in this direction, I am afraid that I will continue to sleep in the sea with resentment towards my mother [Iron Blood]
Waiting for its body to decay, covered with mud and sand, and become a nest for water plants, fish and shrimps, hoping that one day it will be discovered and see the sun again? (Note 1)
Fighting, betrayal, pros and cons, human nature, what is the need for such a world full of contradictions? Or, is a world full of the smell of gunpowder and rust any different from hell?
I hate Iron Blood, I hate humans, I even hate everything, but I have never had any such thoughts towards her.
She saved me and brought me out from the cold and dark bottom of the sea, allowing me to escape from the ugly war and come to another relatively beautiful place.
Minato-ku
I have to admit that I like this place very much, but that is the inherent impression brought by my childhood memories.
Everything is still stored in my mind. Even though my physical condition has returned to that before the suffering, the leaden memories are real.
Happiness is too far away for me. Apart from the long wait and the betrayal of [Iron Blood], the related beautiful memories seem to have become a fantasy.
Moreover, this world also has struggles, humans who weigh the pros and cons, and another form of "Iron Blood". After experiencing all that, it is difficult for me to change my mind about it.
That's why I feel awkward, don't know how to get along with my childhood friends, and become cold and distant.
After all, what they thought was a brief separation actually encompassed my entire life as a "ship".
But I admire them very much, especially Ruyue. No matter how cold my face is, she will always come over timidly and share those meaningless trivial matters with me.
Although our consciousness levels did not match, I occasionally agreed and cooperated with her, and was gradually brought into the peaceful atmosphere of the port area.
I have to admit that I do like this place better than 【.
With everyone's help, or rather... under their influence, it is difficult for me to recall the painful past, and instead I have more memories of the trivial daily life.
"Is this probably what happiness is?" I once thought so.
But later, perhaps because I was too calm and had nothing to ask for, I suddenly had some thoughts that I shouldn't have had.
"Can I... like her?"
"Although before, I was more grateful, grateful that she could stay with me for so long as a human being, grateful that she could bring me back regardless of the cost."
"But gratitude... can also change, right?"
"Transforming into a human to repay a favor is a concept that only exists in the Sakura Empire and the Eastern Empire, but I don't think this way just for the sake of gratitude. It's completely meaningless."
"I just saw her good side, and I was willing to sign a contract with her, to take on the responsibility and entrust each other with each other."
"I just... like her."
"........."
"But what does a child know about love? What conditions does a child have to pursue these things? If I get too close, it will only cause trouble for her, right?"
"The disgusting gaze of the secular world, the imprisonment caused by the inexplicable, and the life that is no longer simple and pure..."
"Will I destroy her?"
"Then... stay away from me, right? Even if you can't help it, just use "I haven't thought about it yet, let's think about it carefully before we get over it" to fool her?"
But how can I let go of the feelings that have developed from being alone for nearly ten years?
So I kept backing off, not daring to consider the possibility of replicating Lafite's approach, because I knew that I was a greedy person and I would not stop at the red line like her.
If I were recognized, I would try to touch, try to go deeper, try to possess each other, but this body is not allowed.
It's like Pandora's box. Rather than opening it and releasing misfortune and disaster after touching it, it's better not to have it in the first place.
But I didn’t expect that the turning point of all greed would appear because of that “curiosity”.
Yes, I was as curious as Pandora in the story. I saw the light and was driven by curiosity to get closer.
But I was much worse than her because I knew that the box might contain a gift full of evil thoughts, but I still opened it with the fantasy.
Fortunately, reality is not a myth, and there will be no "greed", "plague" or "disaster" released by the lamp, disrupting the originally peaceful human life.
The bad thing is that reality is not a myth, and no one can stop me from being ecstatic after breaking through the obstacles.
Yes, that's right, I have changed back, and I am qualified to follow my greed and pursue the things I have longed for with all my strength.
It doesn't matter if I fail. I won't implicate anyone. At most, I will just return to my original distant attitude. Compared with the hesitation and suffering now, it doesn't cost much, right?
So, I am liberated, and I will follow this path to the end completely according to my own ideas.
Rather than wandering around like a dog and waiting, I might as well be a kangaroo that doesn't know what retreat is. Even if there is a cliff at the end, I will jump down.
"Zeppelin...Zeppelin?"
The white-haired woman paused, "Hmm? What's wrong, Susu?"
"Uh, this seems to be the first time I hear you call me that. It's a bit strange." The little commander following behind scratched his head, "Well, can you lend me the ray light again?"
"No, it means so much to me, there can't be any mistakes, not even the slightest bit."
“I won’t break it…”
The tall, iron-blooded aircraft carrier chuckled, then bent down and kissed the corner of the little commander's mouth, who was still chattering, with a very direct and handsome move. The touch was as wonderful as expected.
Unfortunately, before he could even utter "Woman, you're too noisy," he met Ruyue's eyes, who was so frightened that the flying dragon doll in her hand fell to the ground not far away.
Su Xin: “???”
Zeppelin: “............”
Kisaragi: "...Where's little Zeppelin QA Q??"
PS: Note 1: On July 2006, 7, a ship discovered a 12-meter-long shipwreck near the port of Leba. On the 265th, a Polish naval survey ship conducted a drill investigation on the shipwreck to determine its identity, and announced the next day that the shipwreck sunk at a depth of 26 meters was confirmed to be the Graf Zeppelin, whose whereabouts had been a mystery for many years. - Letter

Chapter 852 The Only Consensus
It may not be glorious to say sneak attacks, but it feels great to do them.
In a fight, this move can help you defeat an opponent who is several times stronger than you. In a relationship, you can use this move to break the deadlock and move forward. And when there are children around...
It will be regarded as a hooligan behavior that corrupts children.
Looking at the commander's surprised expression and the destroyer's terrified performance, Zeppelin felt very intuitively that he had messed up.
According to the human habit of weighing the pros and cons, she should consider "saving the big and saving the small" as soon as possible. (Wrong)
Should he seize the opportunity to catch Su Xin and make her clear so as to see what will happen next, or should he first appease Ruyue who is unable to accept the current situation?
Love or friendship? That is the question
But Zeppelin thought that since she was already greedy, why couldn't she choose "I want them all"? So she grabbed the little conductor's wrist and moved closer to Ruyue.
The result is obvious, the little guy slipped away.
This made Zeppelinton not know how to react. Su Xin rubbed the corners of her mouth and said helplessly: "Children have rich imaginations. I suggest you chase them and explain it clearly now."
"...What about you? Don't you need me to explain it to you?"
"Me? I don't think so..." Su Xin looked quite calm. Perhaps she was mentally prepared after talking to you a few times in the past. "It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable seeing you suddenly change from a world-weary persona to an anorexic persona."
"Isn't this all thanks to you? If you hadn't been there all those years, I would definitely hate everything just like you said, right?"
The little commander touched his nose and said, "Uh... you are not mocking me, are you?"
"Ah."
"Okay, then you should go find Ruyue and explain it clearly. It's best to take out the lamp and change it once for her to see. The one on the ground is her and... um, it's a gift she wants to give you, remember to take it with you."
Zeppelin glanced at Su Xin suspiciously, then finally let go of her hand and quickly went over to pick up the stuffed toy. Then he looked back at the calm commander again and chased in the direction Ruyue ran.
After he could no longer see anyone, the young commander heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed his lips awkwardly, "...What are you doing?"
"...Yeah, what's going on, sister." A voice that hadn't been heard for a long time sounded not far away, "I've only been out for a short while... Why is there another strange person trying to please you...?"
Su Xin was stunned, turned around and looked over, a little surprised, "Ah, it's [Helena]? I don't know when you--
"Is it Nana?"
"Well...Okay, [Nana], I don't know when you went out, [Enterprise] wasn't here either. I heard from the observer that you guys went to deal with some... [disturbance]?"
[Helena] looked at the little conductor for a long while as if she was particularly nostalgic, and finally walked forward with a smile and took the hand that was one size smaller than hers.
"That's great. Let's talk, shall we? There are some things that may require my sister's help."
"...Huh?"
"coming."
"Well, and sister, didn't you say that it was necessary to explain the situation to her?" [Helena] took Su Xin to [Enterprise], "Where are the two Sirens?"
"The Purifier just got up and prepared to come down. As for the Observer...she is not in this port area."
After hearing what Enterprise said, Commander Su muttered softly, "She's not here? Didn't she just leave without telling me?"
She felt a little blocked. In fact, she couldn't clearly explain what she felt in her heart, but at least she could tell that she was not very happy emotionally.
Helena, who was concentrating beside him, naturally heard it. She subconsciously touched the metal ring on her ring finger with her thumb, with an inexplicable expression.
[Enterprise] always has a cold face, as if he has become expressionless due to carrying too much, and he even speaks very little. It seems that he is not going to speak before everyone is present.
The three people with different thoughts made the atmosphere in the room very serious, until a cute Siren boy who was said to have particularly big eyes broke in.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why did you call me here? I played ranked games all night yesterday and I'm very sleepy now..."
Su Xin came back to her senses, dispelling the remaining confusion and inexplicable melancholy in her mind, and turned to look at the ponytail-wearing Qingqin, who was using it as a scarf, "Good afternoon, are you hungry?"
"Hehe...Susu is still good to me. Is there anything to eat? The sweet kind!"
"Yes, there are candies and cakes. You can fill your stomach first."
The Purifier was not polite. He took the food that Su Xin took out from the sachet and sat down opposite the [Enterprise]. He put the plate on the table and patted the adjacent seat.
