.. "
"........."
Octopus Girl was puzzled by this unexpected silence, because she had expected Su Xin to run up to her immediately and curiously ask her about the specific operation process.
Instead of being silent like now, and even looking at her...belly with some very strange and subtle eyes?
Su Xin: "You...are going to lay eggs again?"
Observer: "...I repeat, that is the [core], not the egg."
Su Xin: “But it’s almost the same.
Observer: “You don’t need it?”
Su Xin: "No, no, no, of course I need it, but I always feel that asking you to make this kind of sacrifice again... isn't this a bit too much?"
The octopus girl frowned, and moved closer to the bed amid the nervous look on Little Beifa's face. She ignored the Purifier with shining eyes, and came in front of Su Xin and looked at her carefully for a long time.
"...From what I know, you don't seem like someone who would care about this kind of thing." The observer looked impatient, "After all, we are not shipgirls."
"That's what you said... but you are no different from the ship girls, right? Last time when you asked me to force labor, I felt very uncomfortable. If it happens again this time... is there no other way?"
"...I'll think about it."
The observer paused, then left. As the Purifier laughed at him, he walked out the door, walked on the wooden floor to the first floor, and locked himself in the bathroom.
Looking at her face slowly turning red in the mirror, and listening to the muffled laughter coming from upstairs, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and scolded
"Tsk... You are so good at talking, what were you doing earlier..."

"Is the strength okay?"
"......Um."
"Where is your location? Won't you tell me where you feel uncomfortable?"
"......casual."
"Well, okay then." Su Xin, who had just received praise from the Purifier, turned around and suffered a Waterloo at the hands of the Observer. "If it hurts, just tell me."
The octopus girl did not respond to this. With her physical strength, she would not feel anything even if an electric drill was hit on her shoulder.
Just say it when it hurts? That's totally funny.
The observer with a cold face glanced at the purifier who was holding the phone horizontally. She felt two parts helplessness, three parts familiarity and four parts disgust towards this guy who liked to make a fuss and was happy to pretend.
As for what the remaining point was, she lowered her eyes and felt the warmth on her back and the soreness on her shoulders. The answer that she had suppressed in her heart was about to come out.
Purifier: "Yinyin, why do other octopuses lay a bunch of them at a time, like grapes, but you only lay one at a time?"
Well, the last bit of different emotion was also classified as disgust.
The observer raised his eyes and glared at his colleague who was watching the video with Little Beifa. "Ovoviviparous hammerhead sharks give birth to 30 or 40 eggs at a time. Have you given birth yet?"
"I just... developed late." The Purifier began to talk nonsense, "Maybe I can do it in the future? Sharks are bigger than octopuses, right? My daughter might be smarter than your daughter!"
"...I repeat, that is an extension of consciousness, not mother and daughter in the ethical sense."
"Yes, yes, what the Observer said is right~" The Purifier unwrapped the potato chips and handed a piece to Little Beifa, "You know what? Your master doesn't like to eat these, so remember to give them to me next time."
Su Xin, who was massaging Octopus Lady's shoulders, glared at her and told the trainee maid, "Don't give it to her. You can eat it yourself or share it with your good friends. She has already eaten enough."
Little Beifa nodded with great trust and adapted well to the feeding from the Purifier.
The four of them sat cross-legged on the bed for a long time, chatting idly like this, until noon, when little Beifa, who strictly adhered to the schedule, wiped his mouth and jumped out of bed.
"I should go heat up lunch. Today's menu is... um... sweet and sour pork, water spinach, shredded pork with fish flavor, sandwiches, rice, and tomato and egg soup... um, that's it."
"We understand." Su Xin nodded and looked at the time. "Then you go first. I only have ten minutes left before I finish. I'll go down and help you later."
"No, no need. Commander, just continue chatting with... my sisters." Little Beifa shook his head, and then went downstairs with a "creaking" sound.
The Purifier, who had overheard the conversation between the master and the servant, paused, "... Could it be that he specifically told you not to touch any kitchen utensils?"
"........."
"Why are you suddenly silent?"
Su Xin sighed, "Because I always feel that you are right..."
The Purifier was overjoyed to hear that, and the Observer also lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth, but when he heard footsteps that were different from those of Little Beifa, he silently straightened his curve and leaned towards his calves behind him.
The sudden increase in weight made Su Xin stunned for a moment. Thinking that the other party was tired, she was about to suggest that the Octopus Girl lie down for a while, when she heard an increasingly familiar voice.
"Hmm? Ah... here it is."
The young commander tilted his head and saw Xiao Ye Xing, who was dressed coolly and had a beautiful smile, standing outside the door that was not closed.
"I just asked that little sister, and she said you were upstairs, so I took the liberty to come over." Xingzi bowed slightly to the three people on the bed, "Can I...can I come in?"
A person labeled "suspicious" came into Su Xin's comfort zone, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, but it seemed strange to ask the other person to leave directly.
In addition, she had never sensed any malice from the other party, and was also curious about Ono An's behavior of showing up again and again to show her presence.
So after a brief pause as if in a daze, Su Xin curled her lips and politely invited the person in, "Of course, you don't have to take off your shoes, just sit anywhere."
"Thank you, Xin-chan."
Kyoko came in with a smile, nodded to the friendlier Purifier and the indifferent Observer, and sat on the sofa.
Her outfit today is in line with the summer image of a Sakura Empire woman: a sailor suit, a pleated skirt, and a pure red scarf tied in a beautiful knot.
The slender arms look very soft, the naked straight legs are close together and slightly tilted, and the skirt covers the middle of the thigh just right. It is a relatively open but not arousing length.
Compared with the human population, Ono An's appearance, attire, expression and demeanor are all so pretty that they can appear directly on the cover of a magazine.
However, the overall level of the ship girls is relatively high. Apart from their advantages in appearance, they are not affected by factors such as sleep and diet. They are in a truly perfect state.
Su Xin, who spends all day with such a group of ship girls, has reached a very high level of resistance to appearance, not to mention herself who is also a good fighter.
Besides, there are also some good-looking ship girls wearing sailor uniforms in her port area.
Therefore, Commander Su completely ignored the white patch and continued with his actions, even very politely fixing his gaze on the other person's nose.
This is a good way to avoid making eye contact and make the other person feel that they are not respected.
"Xingzi, you came to me, do you have something to say?"
"Ah... yes, because I've been eating at Xinjiang's place these past few days, so..." Ono Xing took out some banknotes from her cross-body bag, "It may not be enough, but please accept it!"
Su Xin was speechless. Since you've decided to eat for free, why not just eat to the end? If you really wanted to pay, you should have paid at the beginning. Why would you remember it halfway through?
But this is definitely not the case. Even if she has no intention of making close friends with the other party, it is better to maintain a superficial relationship. So between accepting the money and not accepting it, it is obviously more appropriate for her to choose not to accept it.
This was a question with a pre-written answer. Su Xin knew what she should do, and the other party also knew what Su Xin would choose. The reason for putting on such a show was probably just a formality.
"...No need, I thought we were already friends, there's no need to be so formal." The young commander showed a slightly disappointed expression.
As expected, Ono An became flustered. She put the banknotes back into her bag and waved her hands, eagerly explaining, "Sure, I thought it was one-sided..."
"It's okay, let's have lunch together. Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, you should like it."
"Really? That's great, thank you, Xin-chan!"
The performance, which lasted less than a minute, ended here. Su Xin ran out of things to say and stopped speaking. She knew that the other party must have come to see her for more than just this matter.
As expected, after a few minutes of silence, Ono An lowered her eyes and broke the awkward atmosphere in the room, "Um... Xin-chan?"
"Um?"
"I've actually always been curious, are these two... also ship girls?"
Su Xin glanced at the back of Octopus Girl's head, then looked at the Purifier who winked at her, and finally nodded, "I guess so. We have a good relationship, but they haven't joined yet."
"I see... Um, can I ask their names? I've been reviewing the KanColle illustrations lately, and I can't recognize these two... I'm really sorry!"
Su Xin thought to herself, "As expected," and gave the answer that had been discussed long ago, "The one playing with the phone is the Sakura Empire's heavy cruiser Maya, and the one in front of me is the Sakura Empire's destroyer Kitakaze."
Ono Anne's expression froze, and she was obviously very surprised. She knew both names, but one was in the picture book, and the other only existed in a niche chapter of the history textbook.
Kitakaze was the first ship of the "Kai Akizuki-class" destroyer that the Sakura Empire had planned to build. Later, the plan was cancelled and the record of Kitakaze remained only in name.
If Su Xin is telling the truth, then this means that the KanColle illustrated guide that is still in use today is incomplete.
But KanColle has been around for a long time, and because of the popularization of identity registration measures, the relevant records are also very detailed. Why is there an exception here?
But if it was a lie, why did they choose such an unconventional name? Wouldn't it be better to just give it a name with the same hair color as "Maya"?
"Unless... this is indeed a new ship girl, and like those ship girls of unknown origin in her port area, it is a so-called "research ship"."
"...But if it's a research ship, why did the smaller one use the "Kitakaze" which meets the requirements, while the larger one uses the "Maya" which has many flaws?"
"...What on earth does she mean?"
With her mind racing, Ono Anzi controlled her expression and didn't frown. Instead, she maintained her newbie status as a "reserve commander" and asked out of curiosity:
"Maya...ah, I know, it's the Sakura Empire's heavy cruiser, right? The third ship of the Takao class, but I remember... her hair wasn't this long..."
The Purifier nodded, "I... hate myself as a combat tool and don't want to continue living as a ship girl. It was her who asked Yubari to make a full set of equipment for me so that I could change my appearance."
Ono Anto was dumbfounded. She had never heard of a ship girl with such a requirement or a device with such a function. But before she could question it, the white-haired guy opposite her removed the long hair that covered the bed.
Removed...
Lost……
Up...
Ono An: Z(⊙8⊙)…
"...That's it, this is just a wig..." The Purifier touched his shoulder-length white hair with a serious expression. "Ears...don't use them. I don't want to see my old self..."
"Uh, this, that... I'm sorry, Miss Maya..." Ono An was frightened and quickly waved her hands to apologize.
The Purifier sighed, "It's okay, I don't mind. Besides, I changed my name. Spring is here and everything is coming to life. From now on...just call me Jingzhe."
"I, I understand, Miss Jingzhe... I'm so sorry! I, I really didn't mean to make you recall these things..."
"It doesn't matter. At least... I'm very happy now." The Purifier clutched her long wig and shrunk to Su Xin's legs. The Observer secretly rubbed and pinched her calf. "Hiss... It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Whether Ono An believed it or not, at least on the surface she looked very sympathetic, "I understand... Sorry, should we talk about something else...?"
"......Um."
The Purifier rubbed his calves quietly and shrank behind Su Xin, his shoulders shaking as if he was trying to adjust his mood.
Only the little conductor who was still massaging the observer's shoulders knew that this actor was biting the clothes on his back, trying hard to hold back his laughter.
"...wouldn't it be better to just use the name of the research ship instead..." After watching the performance with many flaws, Su Xin felt helpless, "Why did they have to do this? They said it was more interesting this way...really?"
Ono Anne on the other side should have taken the opportunity to ask for information about "North Wind", but even if she was asking for intelligence, she had to abide by the Basic Law.
Given the sad atmosphere in the room, if she continued to ask about his identity in an unsociable way, it would be too purposeful and totally inconsistent with the image of a rookie.
So after a brief silence, Ono An blinked, changed the subject, and started talking about herself.
"I actually... don't have the same sad experience as Miss Mo... Jingzhe, nor do I have the courage to take action..."
"My father and mother died when I was very young... I was raised by my grandparents, uncles and aunts."
"Although my family was relatively wealthy, at the same time, because of the image and face of the elders, I was required to learn a lot of things that I was not interested in..."
"Painting, vocal music, dancing, cooking... they all say that this is for my own good, for my own good. If I ask them carefully, what will they say... Everyone likes such women..."
"It's as if... my existence is just to please those 'everyone'."
"I am very grateful to them for raising me. Although I have never felt their care, the servants who took care of me at home were indeed hired by them..."
"I have no way to repay you for raising me, so it is only natural that I should spend the rest of my life... expressing my gratitude, right?"
"...Actually, I went to the Command Academy secretly because I didn't want to stay at home. Later, they found out and got very angry and beat me up."
"Fortunately, for the sake of 'face', I don't have to drop out of school. These few years of campus life will probably be the most beautiful memories of my life...?"
"...Including now." Ono Xing smiled, "Including meeting you, I am...very happy."
The Purifier who was hugging the little commander's shoulders trembled even more violently, as if he was sad because of empathy. Su Xin also frowned, as if she was angry.
Only the observer still had a cold and indifferent expression. He just twisted his shoulders, got out of Su Xin's hands, and turned his head to look out the window.
After telling the story, Ono Xing woke up as if from a dream. She wiped the corners of her eyes, which were still sparkling, and forced a smile. "Ah, I'm so sorry. Telling you all this has affected your mood..."
Su Xin shook her head, "...It's nothing, everyone has difficulties, it will be easier to talk about it.
