Commander Su took a hot bath, changed his clothes, and leaned against the window, feeling warm, staring in a daze at the rain outside that was gradually getting heavier.
"Well... It's raining so hard, I really don't want to go out, but there's nothing to do in the room..." Commander Su glanced at Sheffield after saying this, wanting to hear other people's opinions, but unfortunately the maid didn't respond at all.
"Ah..." Commander Su sighed. He really couldn't muster the energy to read and study. In addition, the physical strength he had overdrawn when charging his equipment had not yet fully recovered, so he seemed a little lazy.
After lying on the table for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had not yet visited Lafite, who had been working too much recently, so she quickly cheered up, straightened her clothes and prepared to leave.
Sheffield didn't say much, but just followed the little commander silently, playing the role of a standard maid.
She had been more restrained towards Su Xin recently, mainly because Hu De had talked to her once before leaving Hong Kong, asking her to take good care of the little commander during this period of time and to control her temper, so that the little girl would not get angry and no one would comfort her.
Sheffield certainly knew what Hood meant. After all, she was the one who spent the most time with the little commander in the day. If she kept making fun of Su Xin, and she made the other party angry and didn't let her follow, then there would be no one around.
Look after the little conductor.
Therefore, Sheffield became extremely taciturn, strictly abided by the duties of a maid, only did her work, never talked to her superiors, and regarded herself as a ruthless human being who could pull out a gun from under her skirt at any time.
This made Commander Su very bored, and there was even no one to talk to, so he thought of a way to go out for a walk. Soon, he ran to the door of Lafite's room.
"Knock knock."
"Rafi? Are you there?"
"...Rafi?"
"Can I come in?"
Su Xin knocked for a long time but no one answered, so she turned the handle and successfully pushed open Lafite's door, then walked in with the maid.
The room was dark, which made Commander Su realize something. Instead of pressing the switch, he chose to turn on the night vision, and then he saw the small bulge on the bed at a glance.
Although Su Xin was bored at the moment, she couldn't bring herself to wake up the sleeping Lafei just to find something to do, so she just helped lift the quilt and quietly left.
After closing the door, Su Xin thought for a while and decided to go find Ruyue and the others to play. However, before she took two steps, she ran into Atago who seemed to be looking for her.
"Ah, Commander, I'm looking for you." Atago was obviously very happy to see Su Xin, and hurriedly moved closer, "I tried to make some daifuku today, with peach meat filling, do you want to try it?"
"Uh...thank you, Atago-sister, but I don't particularly like sweet things...so..."
"It's okay." Atago smiled gently, "I put less sugar in it on purpose. Would you like to try one?"
Commander Su looked at the small box of Daifuku that Atago took out, and felt a little conflicted. To be honest, she didn't dare to eat anything made by Royal, Akagi, or Atago. After all, their personalities and characteristics were there.
This time, too, Su Xin hesitated for a while, a little afraid that Atago would catch up, so she gave up the idea of looking for Kisaragi to play with, and just said, "Well... Actually, I'm going to go back to bed, so I probably can't talk to you, sister."
"
"Ah... It's okay. I have something else to do and can't go to the Commander's place." Atago waved her hand and naturally handed over the small box of Daifuku in her hand. "Commander, take it back and try it. Sister has to go and get busy first.
See you next time~"
Commander Su Xiao took the Daifuku, then waved to Atago blankly, then looked at the Daifuku in her hand. After all, it was made by her own ship girl, so she couldn't just throw it away, right? So she thought about it for a long time and decided to take it back to have a look.
After Su Xin carried Dafu and led Sheffield back to the room and closed the door, she put down the things in her hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the round and colorful Daifuku on the table, the little commander didn't know what to do with it. After thinking it over, she decided to find someone to test the poison.
As for who to find... Commander Su looked at Sheffield who was standing in the corner without saying a word.
"Sister Sheffield? Can you come over here for a moment? I need your help with something."
Sheffield followed his instructions and bowed politely, "Master, what can I do for you?"
"Well... I may not be able to finish all these snacks, how about... you eat some too, sister?"
Upon hearing this, Sheffield looked at the young commander as if he was looking at a fool. After enduring for a long time, he couldn't help but said, "Your smart head should still remember that I have always been standing behind you, right?"
Commander Su was stunned and found that it was true, but Sheffield didn't say anything today, and she was not on guard against people close to her, so she forgot about it for a moment.
But the words have been spoken, even if she has to find an excuse, she has to let Sheffield take the first bite.
"Well... of course I won't forget this, but I want you to try it too. What Atago-sister gave you isn't some weird food, so it won't be dangerous."
Su Xin herself didn't believe this, and Sheffield certainly didn't take it to heart. However, it was the master's request after all, and these Daifuku were indeed made by colleagues in the Hong Kong area. Logically speaking, he couldn't poison her, right?
So Sheffield was silent for a while, and finally reached out to take the light green matcha daifuku handed over by the little commander, "Thank you, master."
Then, under the young conductor's fixed gaze, Sheffield slightly covered his mouth, took a small bite gracefully, and chewed slowly for a few times.
Daifuku is indeed as Atago said, with only a light sweetness. The outer skin is matcha flavored, wrapped with sweet and fragrant peach flesh inside. It has a rich taste and will not make people feel greasy.
"delicious."
Commander Su heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then observed the scene for a while in a very rude manner. After confirming that everything was fine, she ate all the remaining Dafu.
To be honest, she also thought that these desserts tasted good. She ate several of them without feeling choked. The matcha crust was very much to her taste, but she didn't like the peach filling very much.
After all, Su Xin had smelled something from other people before, and her own smell was a faint sweet peach scent, so it always felt strange for her to eat this kind of fruit.
Not long after Commander Su finished eating, she felt a little sleepy. She stretched lightly, yawned, and then climbed onto the bed with a pale face.
"Hmm... I don't have much energy. Maybe I've overdrawn my energy. I'll sleep for a while. Sister Sheffield should also go and rest for a while..."
Sheffield was not actually very sleepy. She stood in the corner of the room, staring at the little ball on the bed in a daze, when her cell phone suddenly vibrated.
I unlocked the screen and found that it was a text message from Guanghui.
[I just happened to get some new black tea. No one has been drinking it since Hood left. Do you want to try it?]
Sheffield paused, looked at the little master who was sleeping soundly on the bed, remembered the other party's words asking him to go to rest, and after hesitating for a moment, he moved his fingers.
【OK.
Chapter 334: The oriole is behind
“Kerala…”
"Giggle..."
"Giggle..."
“Squeak… click…”
The door of a room that was locked from the outside by a maid with a key suddenly opened quietly after a series of tiny noises, and a slim and nimble woman flashed into the room.
After slowly closing the door, she gently pulled out the key that the maid had inserted into the keyhole in the room to help the little commander open the door and then put it in her pocket.
After completing this step, the agile woman patted her plump chest, breathed a sigh of relief, then sniffed the peach fragrance that filled the room, feeling extremely satisfied for a moment.
"Commander... Sister Atago is here to see you~"
Ai Dagou, who had learned the lock-picking skill from somewhere, walked towards Su Xiao who was lying on the bed with a happy look on her face, then knelt down beside the bed. The soft carpet did not make her legs feel uncomfortable.
Atago folded her hands on the edge of the bed, then tilted her head and lay on the soft bed, silently watching Commander Su who was nearby.
"Hmm... Commander's taste is still as tempting as always..."
"I've made peach daifuku many times, but I still can't recreate this taste that makes people feel happy. What a pity..."
Atago just lay on the edge of the bed, like an older sister taking care of a child, her eyes focused and gentle, talking to herself as she looked at the sleeping Su Xiaozhi.
"Hmm... Really, why do you always avoid me? I haven't done anything wrong..."
"I just wanted to get to know you better, but I didn't expect that I would end up having to spend time with you in this way. Really..."
Ai Dagou sighed, stretched out a hand, and gently poked the little commander's cheek, which had grown some flesh. Looking at the face that was constantly sinking and recovering with her strength, she smiled with satisfaction.
This feeling of peaceful coexistence made Atago very happy, but to go further...it was too early for the little commander and for the relationship between them.
Therefore, Atago only rubbed her face and talked to herself, and did not want to do anything else. Although the process was quite imaginative, her original intention was pure...
But others may not think so.
“Kerala…”
The sudden sound of the door lock startled Atago, who was addicted to poking her face. She stood up in a panic and looked around the layout of the room where Su Xiao was directing.
"Giggle..."
The situation was somewhat urgent. No matter who the visitor was, she had no way of explaining why she had broken into the house by picking the lock. In addition, the ship girls of the Sakura Empire were quite famous in some ways, so the visitor would definitely not believe her explanation.
"I can only hide... on the table... under the quilt... under the bed...
Atago took off her silver high heels and walked quickly on the carpet wearing only stockings so as not to make too much noise and attract attention.
It was obviously not feasible to put her under the table or in the bedding, but anyone with normal eyesight would not ignore a person of her size.
Although the area under the bed was clean and a great place to hide someone, Atago's front armor was too thick, causing the thickness of her body to obviously exceed the height of the bottom of the bed, so she had to give up.
"Giggle..."
In a panic, Ai Da Gou saw the wardrobe opposite, his eyes lit up, he got up and ran straight there. The wardrobe was large enough, easy to get in and out, and there were clothes to help cover up, making it a classic hiding place.
Atago quickly opened the closet door and saw that it was full of clothes, most of which were skirts, but in fact she had rarely seen her little commander wear them.
But now she didn't care about that anymore. She directly opened the ship's space and swept through it, collecting half of the closet's clothes. Only then did she have space to hide.
Ai Dagou squeezed in like this, and then pulled up two other hanging skirts so that the hem of the skirt could cover most of her body while ensuring her own vision.
The wardrobe itself has a grille design. Although it is only a small part at the lower part of the door, it is just enough for the squatting Atago to see the situation of the commander opposite clearly.
"Squeak... click..."
The door opened.
Atago, hiding in the closet, held her breath and was extremely nervous. She curled herself up into a ball and tried not to move, making sure not to make any sound so as not to be discovered.
The person who opened the door seemed to have stopped moving after opening the door. At least Atago waited for a while and didn't hear any other sounds, nor did she see anyone approaching the little commander on the bed.
Just as she was feeling strange, a tall figure entered her field of vision.
With brown hair, pointed ears, and a fox tail that blooms like a peacock, Atago is obviously the psychopath from the Sakura Empire who often fights with her.
Although Akagi can be considered her senior, the two have been fighting for so long that Atago no longer regards Akagi as a senior in her heart. She just punches when it is time to punch. Anyway, Shokaku has already set the precedent of disrespecting seniors.
However, it is obviously inappropriate to rush out to fight at this moment. Fighting can wait until later. Now Atago just hopes that Akagi will leave quickly so that she can run away.
It was a pity that Chicheng didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately. She approached Su Xiaozhi's bed step by step, then supported herself on the mattress and sat on the edge of the bed, helping the little commander, who looked ruddy after being poked, to tidy up his hair.
"Ah... Commander... Akagi is here..."
"But why did you fall asleep first? Really... didn't we agree to wait for Akagi?"
"But... that's fine."
Akagi bent his arms, and slowly approached the sleeping Su Xin in the closet, as Atago's eyes gradually widened. Then he smiled and said, "Commander... Akagi has been thinking about you, during the day and at night..."
"But why do you always abandon Akagi and go after those annoying guys instead?"
Akagi sniffed at Su Xin's neck, "Hmm... Fortunately, those mixed, disgusting smells have disappeared... Commander, did you take a good shower?"
"It's a pity... It seems that a stray dog broke in and left a bit of a bad smell here..."
Atago, who was hiding in the closet, was shocked when she heard this. Just when she was about to go out and confront the enemy head-on, she found that her hands and feet were tightly entangled by airplane-shaped paper talismans without her knowing when.
These paper talismans are abstractions of Akagi's carrier aircraft and are considered part of the ship's outfit. Therefore, once they are entangled together, Atago's strength alone cannot free them.
Akagi stood up from the bed with his eyes bent, and walked slowly towards the closet that was making slight noises. Then he casually opened the door, looked at Atago who was unable to move and had her clothes in disarray, and smiled gently.
"A stray dog is a stray dog. After being caught, all it can do is wail...and pray, right?"
"Tsk, are you crazy? You're using the power of your ship suit? Let me go quickly--ah! Ah--!"
Akagi hooked his fingers, and thickened the paper charms covering Atago's mouth a few more times, then chuckled twice, "Don't wake up my commander. Speaking of which...she fell asleep, it must be because of something you did, right?"
"Heh... you've done everything you can, and yet you can still confidently ask me to let you go?"
“Mmmm! Mmm!!”
Commander Su on the bed heard the sound, rubbed the pillow twice, and uttered a dazed syllable, "...Hmm...?"
Akagi's eyes became fierce, and she used a paper talisman to wrap Atago like a dumpling. After making sure that she couldn't move, she turned around and walked to the bed.
The nine enlarged tails gently surrounded Su Xin, then gathered together, wrapped up the little commander, and then gently led him away from the bed.
"Commander... let Akagi take you to a quiet place to rest?"
ps: This is a piece of cake (hey~)!
Chapter 335: Unqualified Royal Poison Tester
"Mmmm! Mmmmm!"
Atago, who was pressed into a ball by the carrier aircraft talisman, was unable to move. She watched helplessly as the fox, with a gentle face but terrifying possessive eyes, took the little commander away.
