"Excuse me... What kind of ship girl is the Royal Ark?"
"Ah... This is hard to describe..." Z20 touched his head, "It's still pretty dangerous for us, right?"
“Is… is that so?”
"Yeah, we're almost there. Miss Hood will be able to feel it intuitively soon."
"Okay... but why not keep him here? There are so many empty cells, right?"
"Ah... This is because she said before, 'It's great to be closer to Captain Ayanami,' so the other sisters in the bureau got angry and locked her in the innermost cell."
Miss Hood suddenly felt something was wrong. She nodded with a tense expression and followed Z20 in front of her to the innermost part of the prison. She saw a compartment that was locked with an iron door and only had a small window.
Miss Hood took out a pen and paper and was about to speak when she heard a strange "hissing" sound suddenly coming from the cubicle, followed by a very strong voice.
"Sniff, Z20! You came to see me?! Um hehe... I'm so touched that my exorcist sister came to visit me!"
"Hmm? Wait... sniff... who is that strange guy next to you who exudes a mature aura? He has disturbed the beautiful fragrance of my expelled sister and made it less pure!"
Miss Hood's smile suddenly broke, but she refrained from speaking. However, Z20 didn't seem to be scared at all and even started a conversation with the Royal Ark.
"You should improve yourself. If you feel bored, you can go for a run in the cubicle. If you run, you will feel better."
"Wuhu - My beloved sister cares about me! I'm so happy! Ah... smelling the scent of my beloved sister, I feel like I can eat two more servings of lunch today!"
"Um... no? There's only one." Z20 replied, then looked up at Miss Hood, whose expression had already become serious. "Look, we don't torture criminals here. We have food and drinks well provided.
of. ”
"...torture it."
"Eh? Miss Hood, what did you say?"
Miss Hood took a deep breath and said, "Just abuse her. Don't save face for us."
"Please let the expulsion sister do it! Please! This is my lifelong request!"
Miss Hood broke the pen in her hand that she had intended to use to record the conversation with one force, and then felt a deep sense of fatigue in the Royal Ark's uninterrupted happy speech.
"Kui... when exactly are you coming...
Chapter 209 Wishful Thinking
"Shokaku, you're here."
"Senior Tiancheng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Well... I'm a little ashamed to say that."
Amagi took a sip of tea and looked at Shokaku, who was sitting upright in front of him. He was not as aggressive as he was when facing Kaga in the past. After thinking it over, he made a decision.
"You should know that the commander is somewhat…" Amagi hesitated, as if considering the wording, "Regrettable."
Xianghe nodded. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Commander Su was indeed lacking in this aspect. Favorable events rained down on her, but she dodged them one by one. Could a normal person do that?
"You know, I have some ideas for the commander that are beyond my job, but due to the commander's slowness, there has been no progress..."
"Amagi-senpai...are you planning to get some advice from me?"
"No, you misunderstood." Tiancheng shook her head. She didn't think the advice was useful. The fundamental problem was with the people. "I came to you because I wanted you to do me a favor."
"Please tell me."
"Little Rafi and I have the same idea, but we are facing the same dilemma. If we want to make progress now, we must start with the commander himself."
Xianghe had a solemn expression, and he took a sip of tea from the cup. Then he put it down slowly and placed his hands on the table with his fingers crossed, as if he was plotting something big.
"You mean... drugging?"
"Pfft--cough cough...cough, sorry...I didn't mean it."
Shokaku calmly shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then took a pure white handkerchief to wipe his face. Amagi looked at the calm and sincere look of this Sakura Empire junior, and suddenly felt a little hesitant about his decision.
After wiping his face, Shokaku helped Amagi pour another cup of tea, then bowed slightly and respectfully.
"Shokaku overstepped the boundaries."
"Well, actually I want you to help teach the commander to distinguish emotions and recognize himself."
Shokaku was quite surprised. She didn't have much contact with the young commander. They were only together during the two months away from the port. But most of the communication and handling of matters were done by Helena. She and the commander were not really close.
It is really too much to ask her to suddenly carry out the task of teaching the commander, which is to help the young commander learn to feel and express emotions, a task that is not required in the process.
Therefore, Shokaku was rather hesitant. Although she was very happy to be able to get along with the little commander, the request came too suddenly. This purposeful approach made her feel like she was seeking something.
Amagi seemed to see Shokaku's hesitation and said comfortingly, "It's not a hard requirement. Just do your best. I won't complain no matter what the result is."
Shokaku: "But...why me?"
"It's like this. Little Rafi and I have our own selfish motives, so it's not easy for us to interfere in this matter." Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "Hood looks more like an etiquette teacher, and Helena and the others don't quite understand the situation.
Can't teach the commander."
"You are the only one, Shoukaku. You are mature, intelligent, and virtuous. You treat the commander like a younger sister. I feel more at ease leaving this matter to you."
Shokaku understood. What he meant was that she came late, had a clean background, her IQ and EQ met the requirements, and she had no idea about the little commander, so she was a very useful tool, right?
After thinking it over for a moment, Shokaku agreed and chatted with Amagi for a while before leaving the other's room and returning to his own room to make a plan.
In fact, Shokaku didn't think there was anything wrong with her accepting the mission. Although she didn't have any ideas about promoting the young commander to a higher level, she was very happy to be closer to the destined person who awakened her.
As for what to do if they develop feelings in the future...then she can seduce the commander and let him immerse himself in her tenderness. As the emotional mentor of the commander, she will definitely have the opportunity to get the moon first.
some.
However, the problem she is facing now is how and under what name and in what way she should naturally approach the young conductor and subtly let the young conductor make up for the missing parts.
"Hmm... After all, I think it would be more practical to find an opportunity to serve as a secretary ship for a junior commander...
"But Helena won't agree, right?"
"It seems that I have to wait until she and Cleveland have established a relationship, and then persuade the commander to give Helena a honeymoon vacation, so that I can naturally take over the position of secretary ship."
"I'm sure Amagi-senpai will help me then, right? After all, I'm helping her...
"Now... let's get closer to the little commander first."
After making up her mind, Xianghe went out to the restaurant, planning to make some desserts and snacks. As long as she could cultivate the habit of eating snacks in the little commander, she would not have to worry about not having the opportunity to meet the little commander in the future.
"Hmm... As expected, knowing some cooking skills is quite useful~"
"Pancakes... Daifuku... Hanami Dango, which one should I make? I have no idea what the Commander likes to eat..."
"How about making a crepe? It seems like the kids in the Sakura Empire anime love it."
"Hmm... Let's test the little commander's taste first!"
"Huh." Tiancheng knelt down and blew on the hot teacup, then took a sip, then put the cup down and smiled, "Little Lafite is already able to sit with me and drink tea, which surprises me."
Lafite blew a few puffs of the teacup expressionlessly, then took a small sip, "...It doesn't taste good."
"Don't force yourself. It's okay to drink red wine."
Lafite nodded, took a bottle of red wine and drank two sips as he was told, then paused before speaking again.
"...Aren't you afraid of Shokaku-nee, Amagi-nee?"
"Hmm? You mean...Shokaku also likes Susu like us?"
Rafi nodded silently. She actually didn't quite understand why Tiancheng took such action. After all, this might very well add a new competitor to them.
"First, it is difficult for us to come forward, so as to avoid subconsciously comparing ourselves with others and causing the same blunder as the one in the submarine last time."
"Secondly, Shokaku is indeed the only suitable candidate in Minato. She is very suitable in all aspects, and there will be no problems if we ask her for help.
“As for why I’m not worried…” Tiancheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Kaga will come sooner or later. Her predecessors are not just Kaga, there are also Akagi, Soryu, and Hiryu…”
"I think... after they come, Shokaku's attention won't be on the little commander."
Rafi understood immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "...Sister Tiancheng... is so cunning, like a vixen..."
Tian Cheng laughed when he heard that. "Are you praising me or insulting me...Aren't you much more mature than you look? When it comes to cunning, you are not much inferior."
"...Rafi doesn't understand?"
"Hmph... I think you are the little vixen."
ps: I caught a cold. I haven't had any symptoms since I've been at home all the time, but it still feels bad. My throat hurts and I got up several times at night to drink water. Don't be greedy for coolness when it's hot. Take care of yourself...90g
Chapter 210 Birthday Party Discussion
It is already May 15th, and the little commander's birthday is in seven days. Although she herself doesn't seem to care much, the ship girls in the port area take it very seriously.
However, no matter how much importance they attach to it, it is still very difficult for them to come up with something unique and a birthday celebration that everyone will remember for a lifetime.
Besides, this is not the young conductor's 18th birthday ceremony, there is no need to make it so grand and special, just a simple celebration will be enough.
But when they thought about how the little commander was all alone when he came to the port last year, and how his personality was so well-behaved and likable, the ship girls really wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to spend his birthday with him last year.
So during these tense days, the ship girls in the port area gathered in Miss Hood's room and held a combat meeting in the name of afternoon tea.
Miss Hood: "Well... let's have a glass of mellow red-_"
Nagashima: "It's almost too late, think of a solution!"
Miss Hood looked at the solemn expressions of the sisters around her and silently put down the teacup in her hand.
Ming Miao: "Actually, all you need to do is make a good plan. We have everything here, Miao~ But... expedited orders will cost extra, Miao hehe..."
Changdao: "What time is it and you are still talking about money? You are so obsessed with money. Are you..."
Ming Miao: "Then why don't you support me? Last year I was a poor guy who couldn't afford potato chips after buying a Coke."
Nagashima: "Then...then you are still a stingy freak who puts his face on the drinks cabinet to cool down!"
Ming Miao: "You are trying to get credit from me!"
Changdao: "You buy inferior goods and pass them off as good ones to deceive people!"
Ming Miao: "You are talking nonsense! What businessmen value most is integrity, Miao!"
Nagashima: “You used to brush boxes!”
Helena: "Um...can you guys stop arguing for now...?"
Ming Miao: "Well, well, well, that's because I have to make a living, meow! At least I'm still working hard to get boxes, meow. You won't go out until you run out of food!"
"So what? I have a little commander to support me now. Didn't you see what's written on my shirt?" Changdao proudly puffed out his chest. On his large-sized T-shirt was printed a very conspicuous word: [Retirement First!]
Ming Meow: "You, you, you... you have no fighting spirit at all! I'm ashamed of you, meow!"
Nagashima: "Then would you accept if the commander supports you?"
Mingmiao: "I...of course I accept it, meow."
Nagashima: "Aren't you the same as me?"
Ming Miao: "It's different, meow! While I'm being supported, I can also open a business to make more money! Who would be like you, meow!"
Phoenix: "Oops, stop arguing. We haven't even started discussing this and you're already arguing."
Miss Hood: "Well, let's have a cup of delicious black tea to calm our hearts."
Nagashima: "We are going to give the little conductor a very memorable birthday party!"
Miss Hood put down the teacup in her hand again, glanced at Long Island who was in high spirits without leaving a trace, and secretly made a note of her in her heart.
Cleveland: "So...what should we do?"
Yixian: "Let me prepare the meal. I promised Susu that I would treat her to a big meal when she comes back."
Portland: "Then India and I will be responsible for making a big cake? A very tall one!"
Indy: "...Okay."
Portland: “Hey hey hey…Indy…”
Indy: "Sister...I'm drooling..."
Portland: “Ugh!”
Shokaku: "What about the other items? If we want to make the Commander unforgettable, a big meal alone should not be enough, right?"
Amagi: “Hmm… Indeed, there should be some other projects to make the birthday party not too monotonous.”
