"...You lost something you valued, didn't you?"
"..."
"Then why don't you work hard to become stronger, but just complain about everything here? Do you want to lose the next person or thing that you value?"
"..."
"Since you are afraid of losing it, then become strong and monopolize it. Only with strength as a foundation can you possess it. Only things that belong to you will not leave you without your consent."
"..."
"The strong survive and the weak are eliminated, and the way you are now will only make you die with your sister."
"......you're right."
At that moment, I deeply understood what the necessary conditions were to maintain an agreement.
"Strength...monopoly...I understand, Kaga, I will control everything that comes next, because I am Akagi."
The woman with blood on her forehead suddenly opened her eyes as if awakened, and subconsciously clenched her wrist, but heard a faint sound like a cat's meow with some complaints from the opposite side.
“Ugh… it hurts…”
"She's already asleep... Why is she getting pinched all the time when I'm just wiping her face..."
Listening to the little conductor's mumbling voice and feeling the cool wet tissue wiping his face, Akagi breathed a sigh of relief and shook off the past images that remained in his mind.
Then she suddenly threw herself into Su Xin's arms, put her hands on the little commander's back and hugged him tightly.
"Ah...are you awake?"
"Don't...don't bury yourself there and breathe!"
"If you let go, your underwear will be torn!"
"It's no use acting like a spoiled child! I must complain to Sister Tiancheng!"
Akagi looked at the little commander who had broken free and curled up in the quilt, then took a deep breath of the peach scent mixed with his own on the other person and smiled with satisfaction.
"Commander... This time, I won't give my wish to anything else...
"I will hold you firmly in my hands."
Chapter 343 Leaving a Smell
【Akagi.】
"elder sister...
[Didn’t I tell you that you should behave yourself at home while I’m away?]
"Yes..." The adult fox knelt on the ground, with his head hung and ears drooping, like an eggplant hit by frost, listening to the lecture listlessly.
[It’s only been a few days, count. ]
"...the next day."
[You also know... It's only the second day, and you've already started making trouble in the port area? You smashed the buildings, blew up the floors, tied up the royal sisters, and even arrested Susu. Akagi... You're doing very well...]
Akagi, who had been so powerful yesterday, now looked much more listless. She knew that she would definitely be scolded for this action, but she had to admit that it was indeed a very good opportunity.
She was just a little bit away from forming an eternal bond with the Commander, and then taking her for himself. Just a little bit away!
"It's all that dog's fault, and the two guys from the royal family! Damn it, otherwise I would have already--"
[Are you blaming others in your heart again?]
Akagi was startled when he heard this, and lowered his head quickly, not letting the chestnut-haired woman on the screen see his expression, "Akagi knows I was wrong... Sister..."
[But you just won't change, right? You actually dared to kidnap the commander this time. According to my status, I have to call her "Master". Akagi... this time you really went too far. ]
Akagi didn't dare to respond, she just raised her eyes secretly to glance at the "master" who was standing in front of her with a mobile phone in his hand, and secretly took note of her in her heart.
The beauty on the other side of the screen said a few words and then stopped. She knew Akagi's temper and knew that nothing would change even if she nagged him more.
Tiancheng actually knew the reason for this character, but she had no solution. After all, this memory was too old for them.
She left early at that time and was unable to accompany Akagi for the rest of his life. Therefore, for Amagi, who left halfway, the majority of his feelings towards Akagi were pampering and reluctance, and these emotions still remain to this day.
Keep it.
But Akagi was different. After Amagi passed away, Akagi went through many battles with her longing for her sister and her morbid obsession with monopoly, until she finally died at Midway Island.
At that time, Akagi, who was the center of everyone's expectations, was obviously no longer the little child she used to be. She knew very clearly what she wanted and what she was doing now.
Moreover, Akagi sincerely believed that there was nothing wrong with his views and practices. In comparison, Amagi, who died young, was in no position to persuade Akagi.
Therefore, Tiancheng sighed softly, and then asked softly: [I heard from Susu that you were injured? Where is the injury? It should be healed, right?]
Akagi, who had his head lowered, raised his ears and said, "It's all right now~ After all, I am Akagi."
[That's good...Susu?]
"Hmm?" Hearing Tiancheng calling her, Su Xin hurriedly took back the phone that was placed in front of her belly, then looked at the big sister on the screen, "What's wrong?"
[Akagi... I'm so sorry, why don't you let her come over too? I'll watch from here, and she and Shokaku won't get into a fight.]
"Hmm..." Commander Su looked at Akagi, who still had a Band-Aid on his forehead. Seeing him staring at her with wide eyes and shaking his head, she couldn't help but find it a little funny. After thinking about it, she decided to reject the suggestion.
"It's okay, Sister Akagi should have calmed down. If it really doesn't work... I can just call you again."
Akagi, who was kneeling on the ground, visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had grown up, she still didn't dare to be too rebellious in front of Amagi.
[Okay, it's good that you know what's going on, but I have to punish you for this. As for the punishment...it's up to you, I won't interfere anymore.]
[According to this progress, we may be able to return to the port area in about a week. During this period...] Tiancheng paused subtly, [Well... Let's pay attention to safety.]
Commander Su nodded and hung up the phone, then looked up at Akagi who had gotten up from the ground at some point, wondering what to do with this yandere.
"Commander~" Akagi put away her obedient appearance and regained her usual smile, "Sister has forgiven me, what about you? Are you still angry with Akagi?"
Su Xin tilted her head and thought about it, then nodded, "A little bit, because it's too embarrassing to run away in my underwear."
In fact, Su Xin was not that angry. She was indeed a little annoyed and aggrieved at first, but when she saw Akagi staggering towards her even with blood, her heart softened.
When the little commander was covered in sweat by Akagi's tail while half asleep and half awake, and heard Akagi calling her "sister" in a low voice, she was no longer angry.
Personality is greatly influenced by the external environment, so after listening to Akagi's brief self-introduction, Commander Su still expressed his understanding.
But understanding is understanding, which does not mean that Commander Su Xiao can calmly accept Akagi's approach. After all, it is Su Xin herself who is being taken advantage of.
After thinking it over, she still believed that she should find a way to calm Akagi's emotions as soon as possible to prevent her from taking her away again.
So Su Xin looked at the big fox that was gradually approaching, thought for a moment and asked her: "Sister Chicheng, why are you suddenly... so emotional?"
Akagi didn't expect the little commander to ask her this question seriously. After a pause, she answered as a matter of course: "Of course it's because I smell someone else's scent on you."
"But it's normal to pick up other people's scents when walking outside, right? I can't stay at home forever...
Akagi, who had finally behaved a little, immediately refused to agree when he heard this. That familiar look gradually appeared again, and Su Xin was so scared that she quickly reached out to interrupt the spell.
"Ahhh that... Can I take a shower often? As soon as I get home?"
Akagi shook his head when he heard that, not very happy, "My taste will fade, too. No, Commander, you should stay with me all the time, right? No matter what, Akagi can help you do it, Commander, you just need to stay with Akagi.
Oh~"
"Of course not. I have a lot of things to do." Su Xin was distressed. After thinking for a long time, she came up with an idea. "How about... Sister Chicheng, can you give me one of your things? I'll carry it with me, and you can smell it.
My own taste."
"My own things..." Akagi thought for a moment, then took off his robe, put his hand into his clothes and started taking off something, which scared Su Xin again.
While trying to stop it in a panic, Commander Su accidentally glanced at the nine tails behind Akagi, and suddenly his eyes lit up as if he thought of something.
"I have an idea!"
Akagi looked at Commander Su Xiao walking towards him with great pleasure, and then watched Su Xin draw out a knife, and before she could react, she cut off the hair at the tip of one of her tails.
"Okay, I'll go back and make a sachet and put these in it. That should be enough... Hmm, maybe it's a little too little... How about I--
Akagi, who was still feeling sad while holding his bald tail, shook his head quickly and hid his ears and tail.
Chapter 344 Royal: The pinnacle of the culinary world
When Akagi was fighting with the three men, he made a very loud noise. Even with the cover of thunder, he still attracted the gendarmerie in the end.
But they arrived a little late. By then the young commander had already taken the awakened Akagi back to the room to clean up, and the military police did not find anything in the bathtub.
Regarding this incident, firstly, no witnesses saw any content that is not suitable for children, and secondly, the person involved, Guanghui, said that this was just a misunderstanding exercise in which the Easter eggs were not replaced.
Therefore, after investigating in the port area for a short while, the gendarmerie members classified it as an isolated incident, left a few words of advice and then left.
Atago heaved a sigh of relief. After all, if you really count it, she was the first person to attack the little commander in this incident. She was the instigator. How could she escape the connection?
Guanghui didn't want the news of her commander to be spread out. They could solve their family affairs behind closed doors. Akagi only tied them up in the end and didn't intend to hurt anyone. So there was no need to make a fuss about this matter.
Everyone knows it.
On the contrary, Sheffield has become very silent since then. I don’t know if she is blaming herself or something. She even hardly follows the small instructions.
Su Xin was a little confused by this anomaly, but it was not appropriate for her to ask proactively, so she could only ask Guanghui to find out the situation indirectly.
Guanghui actually didn't quite understand. After thinking about it, she decided to follow the royal way and invite Sheffield to the tea party, and take the opportunity to ask him what was wrong.
Sheffield was not so introverted as to completely avoid socializing. She quickly agreed to Guanghui's invitation and arrived on time as always.
"Sheffield, please sit down. Would you like some cake or cookies?"
Sheffield sat down gracefully and quickly, his expression looking uncertain. He said simply, "All is fine." Then he fell silent again.
Guanghui slowly placed a plate of cookies on the table, pushed it towards Sheffield, and then poured her a cup of tea.
The color of the tea was very familiar, with a hint of purple, which looked very different, but Sheffield, who was in a daze, didn't pay any attention to the color of the liquid in the cup. He just sipped the black tea.
Guanghui was not in a hurry. After she finished drinking a whole pot of tea and eating the cookies, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, and asked casually:
"You seem to be in low spirits these past two days. What's wrong? Sheffield."
Sheffield looked at the ship girl in front of him who was also from the Royal Camp. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the whole story. "Actually, I blame myself."
"Blam yourself? Actually, think about it, this is not your fault. Why should you blame yourself?"
Sheffield's expression was solemn, "I failed to protect the master."
"As a carrier fighter, Akagi is stronger than us in both strength and skills. This is normal. There is no need to feel depressed about it."
The scumbag maid shook her head, "That's not the problem. The problem is that I didn't realize that Atago had drugged me... It's really wrong."
"Well..." Guanghui brewed another pot of tea, then poured himself a cup. After taking a sip, he squinted his eyes with a little joy. "This is actually very normal. It would be strange if you found out.
Overly defensive or something like that."
The scumbag maid shook her head again. "As a maid, I should have tasted that there was something wrong with the daifuku, but I ate the whole thing and didn't even notice that it had been tampered with."
Guanghui expressed his understanding. After drinking the tea in the cup, he filled another cup. At the end, he asked Sheffield if he wanted more tea.
The maid gratefully took the teapot and planned to pour herself a cup, but halfway through, she realized that the tea seemed a little wrong and had a strong sense of déjà vu.
"This tea...is not the one from yesterday..."
"Hmm? Yes, it's the one Akagi gave me. I think the black tea with added ingredients tastes different, so I kept it...Are you not used to it?"
"...No, didn't Akagi also put drugs in it?"
"It's okay, I've already drunk a lot, there's no problem, and we are shipgirls, ordinary medicine won't be effective."
Sheffield sighed when he heard this, "That's the problem."
"It seems that our royal shipgirls have some problems with their taste. They can't distinguish the subtle flavors. Now even tea with medicine added to it tastes good..."
"Um...you mean, because you didn't react when you took those drugs, you couldn't tell which ones were drugged and which ones were not?"
"Yes."
"Is that so... um... indeed, the Royal Navy's shipgirls seem to be unable to taste specific flavors. I don't know when this started... It's really strange..."
Sheffield paused and continued to explain: "So I want to do a taste test recently to improve my taste sensitivity."
"Well, just tell Susu no. She's been worried about you for a while."
The maid was a little hesitant. She didn't want to let her young master see her dilemma, but she couldn't complete the training by herself. So after thinking for a moment, she decided to ask Su Xin for her opinion.
Commander Su, who was bored to death, stood up immediately after hearing this, and led Sheffield to the kitchen, saying that he was very happy to help.
