Su Xin pecked at the rice like a chick, and Ayanami was half-believing and half-doubting.
In the end, Ayanami let Su Xin go and said simply, "I was wrong. I'm sorry."
Su Xin didn't know how to accept her apology, so she just said "hmm" vaguely and walked away from the basin. After cleaning up, the three of them finally sat together and talked again.
"So what did you talk about with Lord Amagi?" Ayanami asked first with a wooden face.
"Well... I made some promises, Sister Tiancheng..." Su Xin paused and looked at Tiancheng. Tiancheng heard the pause and understood that it was his turn to express his position, so he nodded.
"She is willing to stay in my port area for a while."
Ayanami pinched her index finger again, wondering what conditions could impress Lord Amagi.
"But this may be a good thing. At least Amagi-sama won't have to suffer outside. However..."
Ayanami looked at Su Xin from head to toe. No matter how she looked at her, she felt that something was not satisfactory, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"I'll have to go to her port more often."
After making up her mind, Ayanami didn't object much, and the matter was temporarily settled. Amagi didn't have anything to pack, so she just picked up her scratched wooden stick and put on the clothes that Ayanami bought for her yesterday.
, and got on the car slowly.
Ayanami insisted on sending the two of them to the port area, and personally watched Su Xin arrange Tiancheng next to her, with all the daily necessities complete, and she was wrapping the corners of the table, the legs of the bed and other places in the room that might be bumped with clean towels.
Ayanami finally left, looking back every few steps, and even threatened to visit again tomorrow.
Later, Su Xin brought Tiancheng to meet with all the ship girls and a trumpeter. After they were told the whole story, everyone accepted it well. Only the trumpeter Fang Yan felt uneasy after hearing that Ayanami might come to visit often.
I'm scared. After all, I've been caught once and the psychological trauma is still there.
I'm not used to living in Tiancheng. In fact, it's impossible to adapt to a new environment immediately.
To be honest, it wasn't something else that I was not used to, it was just the bed.
During his wandering days, Tiancheng didn't have a good rest. He often spent the night on a park bench or leaning against a wall in an alley. After all, the military police station was an office, so they just put a thin layer of cotton and a sheet on the bed.
It's much better than outside, but not comfortable.
Now the bed in his room is no longer hard to the touch. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he can clearly feel the sinking of the mattress under him. The softness and comfort make Tiancheng, who is used to sleeping in the open air, feel very uncomfortable.
When Tiancheng was adapting to the new room, he could only vaguely see the general shapes of things due to his poor eyesight. After a few bumps and bruises, he finally memorized the layout of the room.
While groping, she touched the towel wrapped around the sharp corner. It was dry and soft, giving her a strong sense of security.
There are red and blue stickers on both sides of the shower switch and bathtub drain switch in the bathroom. In my field of vision, they are two distinguishable red and blue light balls, representing hot water and cold water respectively.
As she explored, she discovered more and more small details, which shocked Tiancheng's heart. But the more she did this, the more her self-loathing began to emerge.
"Are you really worthy of her doing this..."
"You are no better than an ordinary person now...
"Are you enjoying this so peacefully?"
"burden."
"Everything she said was a lie. She was just feeling sorry for you."
Tiancheng would lie on his soft bed every day, staring blankly at the ceiling. After turning off the lights, there was nothingness there, and Tiancheng's thoughts seemed to drift into the abyss.
She began to feel inferior, her smiles became forced, she no longer had her own pride, she didn't like going out, she didn't like talking, and sometimes she even skipped meals because she couldn't see the way others looked at her, which made her very uneasy.
"The kids in her harbor must all hate me... I can't do anything, but I still have the nerve to stay here."
The better the conditions become, the more severe the mental torment becomes.
After just a few days, Amagi looked much more haggard. Su Xin saw it and was worried. When Ayanami came to visit him, she almost had a big fight with Su Xin.
Su Xin thought about it, wrote a letter and sent it out. After receiving the reply, she decided to talk to Tiancheng.
"Knock."
"Sister Tiancheng, it's Su Xin, I want to talk to you.
After a while, the door opened and standing behind it was Tiancheng, who was dressed neatly. She blinked her lavender eyes and smiled gently, but her face could not hide her haggardness.
"come in."
Tiancheng turned and walked in. The curtains were wide open, and the room was full of light. The room was incredibly tidy, clean and tidy, and there was not even a wrinkle on the sofa from anyone who had sat on it.
Su Xin pulled Tiancheng to sit side by side, noticing her calm and composed expression, as well as the hand beside her that was quietly pinching a small corner of clothing, with the fingertips so tight that they turned white.
"Little Su Xin, do you have anything to tell me?" Tiancheng still smiled warmly.
"......" Su Xin pursed her lips and suddenly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sister Tiancheng."
Tiancheng's pinched fingers turned even paler. "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Ah... Do you want me to leave? After all, I've been bothering you for so long... I can't cause any more trouble. Recovery is really..."
Tiancheng suddenly lost his composure and tears rolled down his cheeks. "Um... I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
She quickly wiped her eyes, sniffed and controlled her emotions, like a sinner waiting for trial, "Go ahead."
Su Xin hugged Tiancheng lovingly. Because she was not tall enough, she could only kneel on the sofa to complete this action. She patted Tiancheng's back gently, and a pleasant sound slowly sounded.
"Sister Amagi, I went to ask the research instructor at the Command Academy these days and asked a lot of questions about repairing ship equipment. She said that retired shipgirls cannot have their ship equipment repaired."
"...I know...I know..." Tiancheng seemed to be relieved and prepared to face his own end, "So..."
"So we may have to go to the academy in person to discuss the issue of remaking the ship's equipment."
"Remake...of the ship's uniform?" Amagi seemed to have realized something, and a faint light rekindled in his tearful eyes.
"Yes, it may take a long time, but according to the other party, it is feasible. In addition, I want to take you to meet one of my teachers."
Su Xin thought of the beautiful woman with white hair and fox ears in her memory, "You will like her."
Tiancheng hugged Su Xin back, hugging her so tightly that her body even trembled slightly. She heard herself speaking in a choked voice with tears in her eyes.
"...good."
ps: My roommate saw me writing halfway through, so sorry ==b
Chapter 34 True - Departure
The ship equipment of the KanColle can be remade, but after all, it is the ship equipment of the KanColle, it is impossible to count it as a ship equipment by just making a few guns.
Remaking ship equipment requires various data, huge amounts of resources, and a long time to adjust the parameters of each part to ensure the fit between the ship equipment and the ship girl.
At first, after each ship girl was successfully born, the Navy Headquarters would collect detailed data on the ship girl and her ship equipment. However, the emergence of ships with the same name later made the data collection not continue.
The initial abilities of the same-named shipgirls are not very different, and the physical fitness and ship equipment data tested are not much different. The strength of the shipgirls is mostly affected by the acquired experience and skills, as well as the shipgirls' equipment such as guns, carriers, and aircraft.
To improve.
Therefore, it is theoretically feasible to remake the ship's outfit, but it will take more time and resources to adjust the parameters, and the ship girl equipped with the remade ship's outfit will have to adapt to her own outfit again, which will cost her experience.
Skills and the like also need to be accumulated again.
Besides, most ship girls retire voluntarily, so there is no need to rebuild the ship's equipment, and no one has mentioned it for a long time.
Su Xin just remembered that this matter was mentioned in a miscellaneous book she had read, and there was such a method that could be tried, so she wrote a letter to Yubari, the chief scientific research director and tutor of the Command College.
These past few days, Su Xin had been waiting for the other party's reply. She knew that before getting a definite answer, any consolation or explanation would be useless and not as real as a realistic hope. Therefore, she had been holding back until she received the reply.
Go find Tiancheng with confidence.
After hearing the news, Tiancheng could not control his emotions and his suppressed sobs came out intermittently.
She had stayed in the darkness for too long, so long that she had almost forgotten that she was once a glorious and powerful ship girl. Her own powerlessness and experiences during her wanderings had worn away all her pride, leaving only day after day of torment.
When you open your eyes, you see foggy nothingness; when you close your eyes, you see darkness with nothingness. The serious lack of a sense of security even causes a series of psychological changes.
Fortunately, things turned around for her.
With Su Xin's gentle patting and comforting, Tiancheng finally calmed down. He wiped the tears from his cheeks before standing up.
"Sorry to make you laugh..." Tiancheng sniffed, trying to hold back his own physiological reaction of hiccups but failed. His beautiful body twitched with a slight sound coming out of his throat, which was out of shape.
Elephant is cute.
Su Xin was also happy for her, and she took some tissue paper and gently wiped the remaining tears from Tiancheng's eyes.
Tiancheng blushed, feeling very embarrassed. He took the paper and wiped it himself, "Thank you..."
"It's okay, Sister Tiancheng." Su Xin didn't respond to this. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth to discuss with her, "But I have to discuss the operation of the port area with Helena and the others after leaving, so we may have to postpone our departure for two days."
"Well, it's okay, it's okay." Tiancheng still seemed a little cautious, "I'm very grateful that you can take me there..."
This made Su Xin very distressed. She asked Tiancheng to have a good rest and she went to discuss things with the ship girls.
Later, after Su Xin asked this question, the first person to raise his hand and express his desire to go with them was Portland.
Su Xin thought about it and understood.
"Probably to see if he can run into his sister Indianapolis."
Fang Yan also wanted to go. After all, she wanted to be a commander, so it would be a good idea to go to the Command Academy in advance to check out the situation.
Soon the number of people traveling reached four, so Su Xin finalized the personnel and left a white rabbit who seemed to be indifferent (expressionless and sleepy) but felt aggrieved in his heart in the port area.
Afterwards, Su Xin sent a message to Ayanami, tactfully rejecting Ayanami's excited words and wanting to go with her, and set the departure time for two days later.
The port area is quite far from the Command Academy. One needs to take two different trains and it takes four days to get there. It would take about half a month to go back and forth.
Helena's mother was very worried and she was helping Su Xin pack her luggage.
Fang Yan can do it herself. Tiancheng has basically nothing except a few clothes. Portland... I'll just persuade her to bring fewer clothes for the dolls later.
But Su Xin...Helena was a little distressed.
"I need to bring two coats. The weather might get colder..."
"Take four dresses. It's more convenient for girls to change and wash them."
"Ah... I need to bring my toiletries. I almost forgot."
"Which set of underwear should I choose... this white set... or this blue and white set?"
Should I bring a down jacket...what if it's really cold?"
"Shoes...bring two pairs of sandals and two pairs of sneakers. They'll be more comfortable if you need to walk or something."
Su Xin helplessly watched Helena busying herself. In fact, she could handle it all by herself, but Helena's mother was afraid that she would miss something and insisted on helping her clean up, so she had to let her do it.
Helena moved quickly but not in a panic, and the various items in the suitcase were neatly arranged in partitions.
"Why don't you bring an umbrella? It'll be useful if it rains."
"Which pajamas is better, this white one or this pink one..."
"Snacks, snacks! You have to eat something on the road..."
Helena murmured as she sorted, "What else...what else..."
"Well... Hai Ma, I think that should be enough..."
"Enough? What's enough? Ah, shopping card!" Helena suddenly realized and took out a VIP shopping mall clothing card from the ship's space. "Don't be stingy when buying clothes. Buy what you need, Susu."
"Um...I actually have money..."
"Otherwise? Ah... yes, you can take a few sets of chess and play with them when you're bored on the train." He took out flying chess, beast chess and chess and stuffed them in.
(..)...
Su Su was silent.
"How about Hai Ma, you go check on Portland, she might bring clothes for the doll but not the fuel."
"Although I also have fuel," Su Xin complained secretly.
"Portland? That's right!" Helena seemed to suddenly react, "She is a ship girl, she has a ship suit space."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked towards Portland's room with his suitcase. Not long after, he heard faint sounds of an argument.
".....Hurry up and take out...the clothes..."
"don't want!"
"...Put these in there, Commander!"
"...No no... Ugh...Indy-chan..."
".........99
