"Qinglan? Isn't that a seaplane? I couldn't fit it so I didn't bring it, but I remember Mingmiao had it in stock and always put it in the box to make up the number. Since no one was using it, she could take the opportunity to buy it back at a low price!" (Note 2)
Su Xin looked around but didn't find anyone. She looked away with a little regret and planned to just ask for a plane. But Portland in the crowd suddenly raised his hand, "Maybe I... have it?"
Changdao was stunned. "Ah? Why do you have it? Are you collecting it? But didn't you spend all your money on buying Indy's--"
"Waaaaaaaaa!! W-What are you talking about, Nagashima? I didn't!"
Portland glanced at his expressionless sister and quickly ran to Nagashima's side to prevent him from talking nonsense again. "Yes, it was when I made a wish to build Indy-chan."
As she spoke, she began to search the ship's interior, throwing all the messy things such as balls of yarn, flour, and egg beaters on the ground, and then she found a few carrier-based aircraft in the corner.
"I don't know him. Can you guys see if he's in here?"
Changdao squatted down and rummaged through the equipment, and actually found the special seaplane among the small pile of carrier-based aircraft.
After handing it to the happy commander, Changdao looked at the remaining equipment again, "Swordfish anti-submarine aircraft... Type 99 carrier-based bomber... Hellcat... Where did you get these equipment?"
Portland glanced at Indy shyly, "Well, didn't the commander ask me to build Indy myself before? I went to Boss Ming to try my luck in advance, and these are what I drew at that time..."
"...You won it? How much did you buy?"
Portland recalled carefully, "How many, how many hundreds of boxes?"
"Are you stupid?! So the Gandalf statue you worshipped was also bought from her?!"
"Gan...what blessing?"
Su Xin was actually used to seeing consumers being deceived. After all, if unscrupulous businessmen really had a conscience, they would not be called unscrupulous businessmen.
But thanks to Portland, at least the "toy" to coax the child was obtained.
The young commander held Qinglan in her arms, picked up the drill and stuffed it into the construction device, waiting for the cabin to be depressurized and the door to open. Then she raised Qinglan in her hand to Yi13 who was curiously looking out.
"Welcome, Yi13, is this a greeting gift?"
"Hmm? Are you the Commander? Ah, it's Qinglan!" The little guy with ice-blue hair trotted over and took the seaplane. "Commander, how did you know I like this?"
"Well... because the friend next to you is Qinglan, I just happened to find it from that Portland sister. I'll give it to you."
I-13 hugged the equipment and thanked the heavy cruiser very happily. She introduced herself to Su Xin, "I am I-13, the submarine aircraft carrier of Sakura Empire. My hobbies are airplanes and the sky. Please take care of me."
"Yeah, I am. Please take care of me."
“Okay!”
Su Xin was very satisfied after building three submarines at one time.
Considering that Befa had just left, it seemed a little early to stop and go to the command room, so the hesitant commander simply decided to send out ten consecutive attacks at the end.
After the button was pressed, the situation of the construction device was the same as before, showing nine [XX:XX:XX] in succession, but a duration of [05:15:00] appeared in the last column.
Su Xin has seen this number twice so far. The first time she thought it was Littorio, but it turned out to be Veneto. The second time it was Littorio, but the third time...
"Assuming that no ship of the same name is released... is it still the Veneto class? The remaining Roma and Empire are battleships, so they won't appear in the [Special Type Pool], right?" (Note 3)
"So who could it be...?"
The young commander was curious about this and quickly plugged the drill bit to clear the time. She waited for a long time after the cabin was depressurized, but no one came out.
Su Xin wondered if the other party was a big arrogant Xuefeng, who would only come out if she had to invite him?
What about the lines? Should she say something like "Your Excellency is cordially welcomed"? Xiao Xuefeng really likes this anyway.
Su Xin hesitated for a long time and felt that the other party was more and more persistent. She also thought that the second-year dialogue was necessary. She was afraid that Befa would wait too long in the command room, so she made up her mind to go forward with a red face.
"Your Excellency is welcome to the port area!"
"........99
"Um...um...are you there? Is there anyone inside?"
"...
Su Xin looked inside with a blushing face, facing the doting and teasing gazes of the ship girls behind her. She found that the tall ship girl who was supposed to be out of the cabin was sleeping soundly among several tails.
There was no need to identify her based on her features. She must be a Sakura Empire shipgirl, but her appearance looked really unfamiliar, and it would be impolite to call her that.
Since it was a fox, it would not be wrong to ask Tiancheng to come over and take a look. After the little commander figured it out, he turned around and waved at the wedding ship, calling softly: "Sister, come quickly."
Tiancheng understood what he meant and approached silently, looking into the cabin past the expectant Su Xin.
"This is... Shinano?!"
"Ah…who?"
"A Yamato-class aircraft carrier? Susu, you are truly...amazing."
Su Xin: (0)?
Shinano: (Qv-⊙)~Zzz…
PS: Note 1. The Taiho has a nickname called the Leaky Phoenix, because in history, a bomb exploded after eating a bluefin tuna, causing an oil pipeline leak. Due to the closed design of the hangar, the oil and gas were trapped inside and could not be evacuated at all. Finally, the hull broke and sank due to continuous explosions.
Note 2: The seaplane Seiran cannot be obtained by opening technology boxes in the game, it can only be exchanged or researched. There are very few people who can use it, except for the four Sakura Empire battleships that were transformed into carrier battleships, the only other ships that can use it are the submarine mother I-13 and the Donghuang light cruiser Zhenhai.
Note 3: The Empire is an aircraft carrier in the game, but historically it was originally built according to the specifications of a battleship. The project was stalled at a later stage and was not even completed in the end (Zeppelin: QA Q). The plan to convert it into an aircraft carrier only existed on the design drawings.
Note 4: Thank you for the tips, blades and votes from the bosses. There may be another chapter in the evening? But I am not sure how long it will take for the night review to be released. You can wait until tomorrow to read it together.
Chapter 860 White Eagle Family (Wrong
"Ah... today is a workday, right?"
"Hmm? Let me see... Thursday, indeed. What's wrong?"
Holding a plastic basket filled with washed clothes, Helena glanced at Cleveland who was sitting on the sofa drinking milk, and then looked at the clear sky outside.
"Nicholas...does he have to go to school too...?"
Cleveland was stunned. It was true. She looked at the time again. It was past nine in the morning. She and Helena had both come back from dinner, but Nicholas had not shown up.
"You haven't gotten up yet? Really, the morning is the most important part of the day." Cleveland sighed like an old father, "You hang out the clothes, I'll go see her."
Helena nodded and added, "Don't be mean to her, okay? It's normal for a girl to need time to adapt to the new family."
Cleveland began to hesitate after hearing this, and stood there for a long time, "So... should I call her or not?"
"Hmph~ Can't you make your own decision? You can't even take care of a child... Should I go and hang out the clothes? You should think about it quickly."
"Eh? Helena? I... this..." After watching his girlfriend leave, Cleveland hesitated for a long time, and finally scratched his head and turned around, "After all, I have to eat breakfast, right?"
"knocking"
"knocking"
...Hmm?"
In the still plain room, the white-haired destroyer opened his red and yellow eyes in his bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while.
"...Hallucination?" She opened her mouth and yawned lazily, "Well...it seems to be very late...but I'm so sleepy..."
…”
"Sleep for another five minutes...?"
"Five points... huh... Zzz."
"Knock knock knock, Nicholas?" A vague voice came from outside the room, interrupting the sleep that could have lasted indefinitely. "Are you awake? If you're sleepy, why don't you have breakfast before going to sleep?"
Nicholas sighed on the bed. She could pretend not to hear it, but she was so lazy when she first arrived at the port. She might be dragged away by the commander to run commissions.
After all, the commander is an energetic and serious person, and his requirements for ship girls are probably not low, so there is such a large and luxurious port area.
"I really hope she will never assign me a mission..."
"Knock knock, Nicholas? Can I come in?" Cleveland was still calling from outside the door.
Lazy Bug No. 2 got up reluctantly. Wearing the pajamas he just bought yesterday and the cotton slippers sponsored by Lafite, Nicholas staggered forward to open the door, "...Morning, Sister Cleveland."
"Ah, good morning, sorry to disturb your sleep."
"...No, I woke up a long time ago."
Cleveland blinked and wiped away the unknown liquid from the corner of Nicholas' mouth. "But the sound doesn't seem right. It's much lower than yesterday."
"Ahem..." Nicholas cleared his throat, "...does it look like that now?"
"He's not quite like Lafite. He seems a bit like a smart kid." Cleveland secretly complained in his mind and glanced around the room.
Maybe because they haven't bought all the furniture yet, except for the quilt on the bed which is messed up, the rest of the room has not been touched. It looks like a hotel suite.
"Did you sleep well? Is there anything you are not used to?" Cleveland touched the little guy's head.
Nicholas thought about it and actually asked a question, "...I heard the ringing sound this morning, it was very loud...but I don't have an alarm clock...did you secretly install it somewhere? To wake me up..."
"No, the morning bell..." Cleveland recalled for a moment and then realized, "Ah, it's the school bell, right? You may have to go next week?"
Nicholas felt tired when she heard this, but she also knew that resistance was futile, so she turned around and walked silently towards the bed.
Cleveland didn't expect this reaction and asked her, "Are you going to...?"
"...I should sleep a little longer before class starts..."
"Are you still sleeping? Why are you so listless? Can I come in?"
"Ah."
Cleveland walked into the room, sat down next to the neatly placed pillows, picked them up and held them in his arms, disrupting the overly regular scene in the room. "How do you feel? Do you still like it?"
"...Um."
"I think I've given you pocket money, right? You can buy whatever you like. As for the room, of course it's according to your own preferences. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more, okay?"
"Well, thank you..."
Cleveland was silent for a moment, scratching his head, "Then... do you want to get up and have breakfast? You should have tasted it yesterday. Ning Hai and the others' cooking skills are very good!"
“Not very hungry…”
Although he is sunny and cheerful, taking care of children has never been Cleveland's strong point, especially in this awkward situation where they are still strangers to each other.
If she was more familiar with him, she wouldn't knock on the door so many times, wouldn't ask about everything, and wouldn't speak so carefully, for fear of scaring the other person.
In this kind of thing, the thoughtful Helena always does better than her and is more like a kind sister than her.
"No wonder I'm called 'Dad Ke' and Helena plays the role of 'Mom'... Is it because of the power of women?"
"Well... No, I'm a girl too, I have to overcome it!"
"But what should I say? She probably wouldn't be interested in basketball or tennis... So what should I say? Tips on driving an excavator?"
"Ah... If Helena comes back, she will definitely laugh at me and say things like how the gap between one girlfriend and another can be so big...?"
"...Girlfriend?" The lazy bug who had shrunk back into bed turned around silently, "...your girlfriend?"
"Desire? Ah, I said it?!"
"...Um, so Sister Helena is Sister Cleveland's...girlfriend?"
Cleveland became embarrassed when talking about feelings, "Yeah... I, I actually find it weird..."
"Why?" Nicholas got up from the bed and looked at Cleveland who was scratching his head. "...Why is it so incredible?"
"Ah, this all started with the strange atmosphere between us. At the beginning--"
"Well, that's it."
On the top floor of the White Eagle Dormitory, Helena clapped her hands and breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up her dress, then thought of her girlfriend who was always unromantic.
"Ahh...I'm sure he went to knock on someone's door again and said he wanted to get up and eat, right?"
"Really... can't you find some appropriate topics to talk about and build a good relationship with her first? You are so stupid, you must be sitting in her room now, not knowing whether to leave or stay, right?"
Helena bent down to pick up the clothes basket, walked back to the second floor hall along the stairs, put the things back in the public bathroom, and then turned and walked towards Nicholas' room.
According to her guess, the atmosphere in the room should be rather awkward right now, so she needs to speak up to break the situation. While coaxing the little one, she must not forget the big one.
But to her surprise, when Helena approached the room, she heard a conversation coming from inside. The volume was not loud, but the content was very clear.
"So, I am very grateful to the Commander and Sister Phoenix. Of course, I am most grateful to Helena. Thank you for being with me."
"Oh... you look very happy, although I think sleeping is the happiest thing..."
"That's because you haven't tried anything else... Ah, I'm going to play tennis with Bremerton later, why don't you come over? Maybe you'll like it?"
"Want to...? I don't want to go..."
