"......right.
"Hmm... I can't really tell. Can I pinch it a little? Tell me if it hurts."
"......Um."
Su Xin raised her hand and slowly reached towards her right ankle, little by little, until her fingertips touched the delicate skin, but the door was suddenly kicked open.
"Commander?" Akagi narrowed his eyes, his expression freezing immediately after seeing the situation inside the house. "'A little while', are we there yet?"
Su Xin paused, withdrew her hand and stood up, choosing the latter between [forcing herself to stay and causing a quarrel] and [going home to reflect so that Dafeng can rest].
"...I'm sorry, Sister Dafeng. I'll go back first."
"......Um."
Su Xin turned around and took Chicheng away with the hand that had not touched Dafeng. After the two of them went out, they gently closed the door and the room became quiet again.
After a while, Dafeng, with a blushing face, raised her head. Her lower lip, which was slightly swollen from being bitten, was plump and attractive, just like her eyes filled with joy.
"...That's why Taihou likes you, Commander..."
Chapter 868 Unexpected Support Area
Early in the morning, two figures, one tall and one short, ran slowly towards us from a distance.
Although they have different hair colors, they have the same ponytail and wear the same color sportswear, making them look like a pair of close sisters.
This made Atago, who was resting on a bench, feel envious. After all, she had been waiting here for so many chance encounters, but there was still no progress.
In addition, Kaohsiung is self-disciplined and upright, and will not let her leave for too long, resulting in Atago having very few opportunities to meet the little conductor in 24 hours.
"But even if we meet, the most we can do is just say hello, right? Oh... I should get used to it."
The big dog relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair and sighed, then turned his head to look at the two people approaching, "Susu, Kewei, good morning."
"Good morning, Ms. Atago."
"Morning, Atago-sister."
The big dog smiled and nodded, ready to watch the two leave, but he didn't expect that the little commander, who would usually run away when asked to say hello, would stand still abnormally today.
Atago was quite surprised and sat up straighter. "Is there anything else you want to tell your sister?"
"Not really..." Su Xin thought for a moment as she continued to jog in place to maintain her form. "Well... nothing. Did you get enough exercise today?"
"I just played badminton for almost half an hour, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Huhu... Do you want to continue with me?"
"Yeah, sure."
"......Huh?" Atago, who had given up hope after hearing that, was stunned, somewhat unbelieving, "Are you serious? Don't you have work to do?"
The little commander took out his phone and checked the time. "Sister Kewei and I usually run for 40 minutes, then go to the cafeteria to eat, and then deal with work. In the morning... it may be too late. Is it okay before dinner?"
Atago didn't quite understand, "Why before dinner? You... don't have to force yourself."
"Don't force yourself. It will be hot when the sun gets brighter. The light in the evening is better and it will be cooler...Ah, do we really need to build an indoor stadium? I'll ask Ming Miao and Man Ju today."
This kindness came rather suddenly, like a bone falling from the sky, hitting the bowl in front of Atago, and even brought the chopsticks into her hand.
Everything was so beautiful, so beautiful that Atago began to doubt her life.
But Su Xin looked like she wasn't joking, instead she explained seriously: "I'm currently repairing the dormitories at Sardinia and Iris, so the stadium will be later. During this time, I can only accompany you in the evening."
"Eh? Ah... It's okay. What about today..."
"Well... let's see what the weather is like. I'll come find you when it's not so hot. If you happen to be free, why don't we go out and exercise for a while before going to eat?"
"Okay!" Atago smiled and waved her hand, "Then go ahead, Susu, I'll wait for your news at home, okay?"
"Well, bye then~"
"Goodbye."
The big dog gently watched the two of them go away, then he took out his phone, clicked into the chat interface of the little commander and turned off the screen, ready to reply immediately, and then he happily got up and went home.
“I don’t know why, but at least there is some progress. I hope…she doesn’t just want to walk the dog.
"Why did you suddenly say you want to exercise with her?" Kewei, who was walking side by side with her, asked in confusion, "You seemed to be quite afraid of her before, right?"
"Well...just correct your mistakes when you know them."
"Wrong? What's wrong?"
Su Xin shook her head. This situation was not easy to explain because Kewei had never been treated coldly since he joined the group. Naturally, he could not understand the feelings of Akagi, Dafeng and the others.
From a formidable perspective, Su Xin is an excellent commander who is nice to everyone and basically treats everyone equally. It is nonsense to say that he admits his mistakes and corrects them.
However, when she saw that the young commander had no intention of speaking, she was very considerate and did not ask any further questions. Instead, she started chatting about recent events.
"Kuan, do you remember? The ship girl who got the extra ticket and sat next to us at the concert."
"Hmm? Ah...Blücher?" Su Xin still remembered it, a heavy cruiser that looked a bit like Anchorage. "Why did you mention her suddenly? Ah, have you become good friends?"
"Hehe... I can't say we're good friends, but we do share the same interests. She's very enthusiastic and cheerful, and we had a very good chat."
"Is that so? Congratulations then."
Kewei wrinkled his nose playfully, raised his hand and patted the little commander's shoulder, "Aren't you the commander? Don't you want to bring her back?"
Su Xin was helpless, "Why is it '拐'? And who told you that commanders are keen on this? Look at Wu Mu, who complains all day that there are too many things to deal with at home."
"Then you can handle it, Tiancheng is also helping you. Besides, our family is in very good condition. I came to you to propose it because she said that the commission was hard to snatch. Well, I didn't force you."
"Yes, yes, yes... Of course I don't mind having an extra pair of chopsticks at home, but this kind of thing depends mainly on the other person's opinion, right?"
Ke Wei was even happier after hearing this. "So you agree? Then I'll go and try to persuade her?"
"You can try it. If you can really bring her back, Eugen should be happy, right? After all, she is her second sister."
"Hehe, as long as you nod, then there will be absolutely no problem."
After finishing her morning run and having breakfast, Su Xin took her maid to the command room to work as usual.
Tiancheng sat there sorting documents as usual, but unlike usual, she seemed to be in a good mood today.
Seeing the young commander and Dido, Tiancheng immediately smiled and waved, "Susu, come and see what this is."
"Hmm? What is that?" Su Xin took the envelope and took out a thick piece of paper from it. After unfolding it, she saw the seal on the lower right corner. "Is this from the Navy Division?"
"Hmm, let's take a look at the contents?"
"Okay, praise... commend... keep up the good work... um? [So Su Xin is specially appointed as the commander-in-chief of this support operation]?!"
Amagi nodded and sighed, "It seems that Yubari's research status is still there. She is more authoritative than most researchers, and the influence of her words is much better than I expected."
The young commander blinked happily, "So this time, like last year's winter event, I'll be the only commander?"
"Yes, the chances of getting the top spot will be much higher, but the destination is a bit far, in Sakura City. I guess it's because of Yubari. The researchers there probably have a selfish desire to meet her, right?"
"Ah...star chasing?"
"Hmm... I can understand it that way." Tiancheng pinched the little commander's cheek, "But you still have to be careful, okay? Don't be seduced by girls who deliberately come close to you."
"I came here on purpose...so there will be people like Vanya to guide the event, but this time the officials arranged it for me personally?"
“Susu is really smart, and after screening, I may have guessed which families they will be from.
The little conductor was curious, "Who is it?"
"Well... you can't find photos on the Internet anyway." Tiancheng kissed Su Xin gently, "Anyway... they must be beautiful and dignified girls, so when the time comes, you must think of me all the time, okay?"
"Hmm...Okay..."
Chapter 869 Skilled
She told me to be careful not to be seduced by others, but Su Xin thought that such a thing would never happen.
The reason is very simple. She doesn't like humans.
Compared to her peers who have complicated minds and countless intentions, this simple and beautiful one, who drinks oil instead of rice, is essentially a humanoid Gundam with an overflowing sense of security.
Aren't these ship girls who can act like a spoiled child, blow up houses, resist and fight, and save food so attractive?
Anyway, Commander Su Xiao, who was kissed and hugged, was not worried. She replied to the Navy Division in a serious manner, quickly dealt with the work, and then ran away with the maid.
In addition to the summer activities in July and her daily work, she also needs to worry about the construction of dormitories for several camps, the plan for the large indoor gymnasium project, and...
"Well, I have to go visit the ship girls that I'm still relatively unfamiliar with."
After all, the summer event is approaching, so she would reveal her situation to everyone and take this opportunity to deepen her relationship with everyone, especially Ron and the others, which would contribute to the harmony and tranquility of the port area.
"Let's talk about the gym after Ming Miao comes back tonight. Ah, we also need to ask her to find a chance to move the store out so that there won't be so many people coming to the port area."
The little commander was standing under the shade of a tree making arrangements. "Then let's go first... Well, usually Sister Befa is the one who makes the plans, and I feel a little uncomfortable without her."
"Hmm... then let's go to the Royal Palace first?"
"Miss Guangrong, please don't put the sugar cubes you use for coffee in your tea this time."
"Ah, no wonder that cup of tea tasted sweet yesterday..."
"If you like this flavor, we will prepare special milk tea for you next time. You just need to tell us the sweetness."
The slightly careless aircraft carrier waved her hands, with a hint of embarrassment in her azure eyes, "No, no, thank you, Belfa... On the contrary, His Highness the Hero... Is it really okay?"
The head maid glanced at Yingyong who was making demands on the apprentice maid but was extremely frustrated by the little Beifa who was not familiar with the business, and said, "It's okay, Your Highness knows your limits."
"Ah... I don't think Your Highness is really sensible to ask, 'Give me a cup of black tea without milk but with a milky flavor'..."
Guangrong glanced at Yanzhan, who disagreed but didn't know how to start the conversation. Suddenly, she couldn't understand what the royal family should do in the chaotic situation, so she was so happy when she saw Su Xin coming to visit.
"Commander? Ah, please, please have some tea!"
"Well, thank you, Sister Guangrong, but this cup is yours, right?" The little commander gently pushed the cup back after sitting down, and turned to look at Beifa who was smiling, "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome. Please wait a moment." The head maid bowed gracefully and turned to the tea room.
Su Xin leaned on the sofa. Before she had the chance to say a word to Guangrong, Yingyong, who claimed to be a leader, came over to her.
Yingyong: "Servant! This new maid doesn't know anything. I want some tea. Please help me make it!"
The young commander didn't mind. He looked at the arrogant warship with his hands on his hips and asked, "Of course you can. What kind do you want to drink?"
"Well... I don't like drinking pure milk, but I want to drink milk tea! Milk tea without milk!"
"Sure, wait a minute." Su Xin stood up and took the little Beifa, who was still deep in thought, and led her into the tea room. "Sister Beifa, is the tea ready?"
The head maid turned around and lifted the tray with a cup of clear black tea on it. "It's ready. Do you want me to take it out for you?"
"No, no." Su Xin took the tray and put it back on the table, dragged over a stool and helped little Beifa stand on it, "Watch it, next time she asks you to do this, you do it this way."
The trainee maid opened her eyes wide and watched attentively, only to see her commander casually pick out a candy and put it into the boiling tea, stirring it to melt.
The color of the tea soup gradually becomes lighter and is no longer as transparent as before, but it is predictable that the original mellow taste will definitely be replaced by sweetness.
"Is this all right?" Little Beifa looked at the slightly turbid liquid.
Su Xin took her down from the stool and then looked at the head maid, "Sister Beifa, can you make me another cup? I'll give this to Yingyong."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The little commander nodded, holding the tray and leading Little Beifa to the long-awaited Yingyong, "Here, I carefully prepared milk tea without milk."
"Hmm? This color is too ugly!" Yingyong frowned in disdain, and took a sip in the nervous look of Little Beifa, "Hmm, it's just so-so, squire, what did you add?"
"It's a secret. It's fine as long as you like it." Su Xin winked at the little maid and led her to sit down again. "Would you like some cake?"
Xiao Beifa: "Drink? Thank you, Commander..."
Yingyong glared, "Servant! You should have asked me if I needed anything!"
Su Xin: "But she is still young. His Highness Yingyong is so mature now. You are a magnanimous person. You should not care about these trivial matters or embarrass the child, right?"
"Uh... I, of course I wouldn't do that kind of thing! How dare you doubt my authority?!" Yingyong blushed and puffed out his chest, with [easy to fool] written all over his face.
As he was talking, another arrogant veteran came late, holding a piece of paper and rushed to the young commander, "Why, why should I accept your commission to be a teacher?"
The young commander calmly comforted him, "It's like this. I think that although you are a destroyer, you are more mature than the others. In addition, you are a veteran, so you must be better at teaching than the others."
The female general was stunned. "Drink? This, this is..."
Su Xin continued, "Because the children are not very familiar with fighting skills, I want you, who are very capable, to be the teacher. After all, I trust you very much."
"Well... if you say that... there's nothing we can do..." the female general said, silently taking back the appointment letter.
