The observer was stunned. "...What?"
"Bathroom, do you want to take a shower?" The little commander peeled off the towel and looked at the dirty green hair still in her hair. "She may need to take a shower three or five times. Let me see if there is enough water."
"...No."
"Oh...but you don't seem to be in a good mood?"
The observer paused, looked at Su Xin who was asking the question sincerely with an ambiguous look, then turned to look at Torricelli who was lowering his head obediently, "Wouldn't it be easier to refresh the status?"
"Ah... I asked her about it. She didn't want to waste resources, so she saved the two cans of oil I gave her."
"Can't she wash herself?"
Su Xin came to her senses and tentatively suggested, "You haven't combed your hair yet, how about...?"
"Great, great!" The Purifier who opened the door at the speed of light shook his head and shook his white hair, "Mine is messy too, let's wash them together, just to make up for today's shoulder massage!"
This is not a problem, and Commander Su is also happy about it, but the final decision still lies with the other "creditor". Only when the Octopus Lady nods, the matter will be settled.
Obviously, observers are willing to accept this kind of behavior, which is not very intimate but can still be considered interactive.
With the petite Siren ship's response, four people squeezed into the small bathroom at once. When the "hair salon apprentice" was washing the hair of one of the customers, the other two became conveyor belts.
"Um, dry towel, thank you."
"Help her blow dry her hair. Guan…uh, Beifeng, come over here. It's your turn."
"Close your eyes well."
"Hmm? Didn't you wash it already? Do you have to wash it again or it will be a waste? I really don't understand."
So the four of them continued like this for more than half an hour, until the trainee maid, who had extended her sleep time by an hour, came over and "Xinxin Hair Salon" announced that it would stop operating.
Due to washing too many times, the observer's and the purifier's hair became abnormally dry and fluffy, and felt very clogged, which was particularly obvious when blow-drying their hair.
Su Xin was afraid of pulling them when she moved her five fingers. In addition, the hair of the two white-haired girls was longer than the other. After working at high intensity for nearly half an hour, the poor hair dryer overheated.
"...Well, let's wait a little longer. The sun will be out soon and we won't catch a cold or get a headache." The young commander unplugged the hair dryer and put it aside to cool down.
Toricaili wasn't quite satisfied though, so he dug out some small tools and disassembled and reassembled them right under Su Xin's puzzled gaze.
"Hoo-hoo... The restrictions have been lifted, the firepower has been increased, you can continue blowing..." The green-haired submarine handed back the appliance that looked no different.
Su Xin plugged it in half-heartedly. The wind was indeed much stronger, and there was no sign of power outage. It actually worked quite well.
Until it emits thick black smoke and the stench of burning plastic
Little Beifa: "Commander, breakfast is already--huh?! It's on fire?!"
Su Xin: Unplug it and throw it out of the house.
Purifier: "My hair...wasn't burned black, no compensation..."
Observer: Nervous
Chapter 901 Kelp's Gratitude
After breakfast, the few people who had nothing to do gathered together again, but instead of doing their own things as usual, they focused on the same goal.
"...Don't stare at me like that..." Toricelli shrank his head and tugged at his new clothes.
This is a solid color T-shirt sponsored by Su Xin. The length is just enough to cover the hips so that the submarine boat will not be exposed. The black color is stain-resistant and is also very popular with the other party.
As for the pants...it was mainly because Toricelli didn't want to wear them.
The reason was that she often wore tight swimsuits, and if she suddenly changed into pants, she would not be used to the empty legs.
Su Xin did not force it and let him put on a short-sleeved shirt over his one-piece swimsuit. At least it looked less dangerous. Then she sat on a small stool and asked:
"Why did you give me so many fish? Um... and kelp, wouldn't it be a waste of time if I go to collect them every day?"
"Uhuhuhu... No..." Torricelli put his legs together stiffly and smiled grimly, "I picked them up. They are gifts from nature..."
"...They are the gifts of bombs and torpedoes, right? The holes on their bodies are quite obvious, and their internal organs are all mixed up into a mess." The Purifier crossed his arms and pointed out.
Facing the distrustful gazes of others, the witness who did not cook quickly added: "Why? I heard from Yixian that when she cooks, it takes a long time to wash off the blood."
"...Sorry...but kelp is edible." Torricelli thought for a moment, "I brought it back from the bottom of the shallow sea..."
Su Xin nodded, "Yeah, I know, thank you, the stewed pork ribs are delicious, everyone likes it, but is it really okay if you don't attack? Don't you need any equipment?"
"It doesn't matter... I... don't want to go back there..."
Commander Su Xiao, who always cared for children, became alert after hearing this, and even looked at the submarine with a different look in his eyes, "Go back there? Sorry... did you encounter something... bad?"
"...No, it's all good." Torricelli turned out a bone. The surface was smooth, without any tendons or meat. It was eaten very cleanly. "It's... the first time I've eaten something so delicious... uhuhuhu."
Su Xin had never learned anything about specimens, but she could tell from the shape that it was probably a leg bone of a bird.
But even so, she still didn't understand what this bone represented, or what meaning it had that made the other party keep it.
"Thank you for the food... I'm very happy, so... I want to repay you." Torricelli took the bone back like a treasure and smiled grimly.
Su Xin felt sad when she heard this and tried to recall when she had given chicken legs to others. After thinking about it, she finally remembered that at the end of the dinner that day, Dido said that there was a plate missing.
"Were you there that day? Where was the missing plate? Did you take it away too?" she asked curiously.
Torricelli faced several stares and shrank uncomfortably to the side of the sofa. "I came from... the deep sea... I'm very hungry, so I'm sorry..."
"...deep sea?"
I was born from the dark seabed, accompanied by darkness and dancing with mud and algae
Strange-looking creatures brushed against my skin, and swaying humus attached to my hair. For me, everything was unknown.
I don't like it here, it's too quiet, scary quiet.
The occasional noises were made by predators ambushing their prey, swiftly and powerfully, adding some dirt to the murky water while getting a good meal.
I didn't know what was on me, and I didn't understand where I should go.
The steel wreckage surrounded by mud and sand behind me is probably my mother, or it could be me, or it could have nothing to do with me and I am just a loser.
But it is undeniable that while it provides a hiding place for these wonderful creatures, it also gives me a lot of sense of security.
Sadly, I don’t want to be stuck here any longer.
After just a few hours, I felt a tightness in my chest and a daze. This was not physical discomfort, but my fear and disgust for this place. They were taking effect.
The bubbles that occasionally overflowed from my mouth proved that I did not belong here. The half-buried metal object beneath me had a special connection with me.
I yearn for light, for air, and for different sounds.
So I dug it out of the mud and sand, rode it on and adjusted the direction without any instruction, and drove at full speed straight up.
There were many noises coming from all around, small and fast. They were the creatures that I scared away. I was glad that the metal creature under my butt could make louder noises than them.
Because it gives me a sense of security and makes me realize that I have a chance to escape from here.
After climbing for more than ten minutes, I choked on my saliva, but the pressure on my body was relieved a lot without me noticing. I held the salty and fishy liquid in my mouth and felt my body getting lighter.
Unfortunately, physical sensation is not as direct as sight, I was still in the dark, and worse, I was about to suffocate.
I don't have gills and can't get oxygen from the water, so after a moment of relief, I felt the pressure in my chest again.
My instinct was to open my mouth and breathe deeply, but my mind told me that doing so would be tantamount to seeking death.
Gradually, I became unconscious. In a trance, I hugged the metal object beneath me tightly, emptied my mind, and felt despair.
It was not until bubbles appeared in front of my eyes and the dull pain in my chest quickly disappeared that I realized that I was getting oxygen from a vent on the metal object.
Just like a bird learning to fly, my understanding and control of metal creations suddenly deepened.
I knew that it was my submarine uniform, and I understood that I was a ship girl. When I broke through the water and saw the white sky hanging high in the night, I was finally sure that I had left there.
I got light, I got air, I got a different sound.
But at the same time, I lost my goal, I had no direction, and I didn’t know where to go.
It was the distant starlight that gave me reason to act, allowing me to spend several hours on the coast.
The noisy sound was a bit harsh, and the aroma of food made my stomach growl. I had been hungry for a long time, so I had no choice but to take a risk and approach the lively center in the shadows.
There were lots of tables, lots of dishes, and lots of people.
There was a fire burning in the middle, it was a bright orange-red and warm color, and it made the person next to the fire look very good, even though she was already beautiful.
I was so hungry, but I didn't dare go over, and I couldn't even take a step out of the shadow of the house.
It was that person who said these were prepared for everyone, thanking everyone for taking care of her and letting everyone enjoy them.
I was dirty and smelly, and there were a lot of weird things stuck in my hair. I didn't help or take care of that person, so I was not qualified to participate.
But in the end, I couldn't help it and stole a plate of hot food from the table with the least people, and ate it with my sandy hands.
Delicious, really delicious
But I quickly felt guilty after eating it.
I hope I can help, I hope I can take care of that person, because only in this way can I prove that my favor is not in vain.
I thought, I can, I know where the most fish are and which fish are most popular with predators.
I will provide her with food until she has the same satisfied expression as I do.
"Uhuhuhu. So, please enjoy the fish and kelp. I will continue to work hard..."
Chapter 902: Turning Point
"So... you want to adopt this little guy?"
"Uh... almost. And I always feel that she is not as childish as she looks. She was the one who repaired the hair dryer, although it still broke in the end."
Tiancheng looked at the little submarine who was hiding in the corner and didn't want to make a sound. Without much hesitation, he nodded gently, "Well... okay, but after we go out, you will be the only one who can take care of her."
"I know, it's better to keep her. At least little Beifa will have a companion. I just don't know if there is an empty house nearby." Su Xin thought for a while, "Or should I sleep on the floor?"
"Well...you and Rafi can sleep. I'll go ask Dido if she has an assembled single bed." Tiancheng touched the little commander's head. "It's just right that you can wake her up. Dido is having a headache about this."
Su Xin nodded in agreement.
Tiancheng turned around to settle the new member. White Rabbit, who had just returned after a day's run, took the opportunity to come over and hugged the little commander's arm stupidly and refused to let go.
When I smelled it up close, I could smell a faint smell of alcohol. I guess it had been practicing drunken boxing on the sea for a long time and now it was exhausted and on standby.
Su Xin was very aware of her alcohol tolerance. She stretched her neck as far as possible to stay away from the alcohol and waved to the head maid, "Sister Beifa, can you make me a cup of honey water?"
"Of course. Wait a moment."
The maid bowed, went to the kitchen, took out honey and a glass, borrowed the hot water that Yixian had boiled, mixed it with purified water to lower the temperature, then scooped out two spoonfuls of sticky honey and stirred it evenly.
"What's wrong? Do you want to give her Lafite?" Yixian, who was cleaning the internal organs of the sea fish, asked her casually, "It seems that you must have drunk it on the way back, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so confused."
Befa nodded, "I think so. I heard from Miss Helena that she worked hard in the daytime battle and didn't drink a drop of alcohol. She only drank a little when she was returning.
"Is that so? Well... then we shouldn't ban her from drinking, right? I'll let Su Su give her some advice later and she should just drink less.
"Do you need my help? Although the royal family's cuisine is not trustworthy, I am still familiar with the procedures." The head maid placed the glass in the center of the tray and prepared to go out.
Yixian shook his head and declined. "It's okay. You're tired too. Go to bed early tonight. You didn't smile as much today as before, did you?"
Beifa was stunned, and paused for a moment before he quietly agreed, "I see, thank you for your concern."
"Well, hard work."
"Commander, the honey water you requested."
"Ah, thank you." Su Xin touched the cup with her hand and passed it to Bai Tutu's lips after making sure it was not hot. "Lafite? Drink some, and you won't feel dizzy after that."
"Hmm? Mmm... gulp, gulp... sweet..."
"It's a good thing that Hai Ma was holding you, otherwise you would have gotten lost somewhere."
Beifa lowered her eyes and did not tell Yixian about her plan. As a maid, she did not need to, nor could she, interfere with what her mistress was about to do.
But there was one thing she really needed to mention to the young commander.
After making sure that the new submariner was taken to the room and settled down, the head maid gently called Su Xin's attention back, "Commander, there is something that Beifa wants to ask you."
"Hmm? What?"
"Excuse me, do you have much contact with Miss Ono Xing?"
"Not a lot... basically she comes to see me, and chats for a while, and leaves in about an hour." Su Xin paused, "What happened to her?"
