When Miss Hood saw Guanghui's center of gravity move forward, she subconsciously stretched out her legs to step on the table legs, and ended up kicking Guanghui's calf, which startled him.
"Ah...I'm sorry, it's my- no, it's all your fault."
Glory: ???
Miss Hood coughed lightly and adjusted her mentality, "Well, no, I mean... I tried, Tiancheng did come, but I can see that she doesn't seem to be very interested in black tea."
"Well...what about Yixian?"
"Yixian... that's fine." Miss Hood paused, "But if she's in charge of cooking... I don't know why, but I always feel like I can't let go when I'm with her."
Guanghui was curious, "Why? I think Yixian is a very nice person. With her personality, if she says she is our Royal Navy ship girl, people will believe her."
"Uh... last time she suddenly taught me how to tell whether a box of something is sugar or salt by its appearance... but I never learned it."
"This... seems to be quite difficult..." Guanghui thought about it and found that the two things did not look much different. "But Yixian should have her own unique skills, right?"
Miss Hood nodded, “Yes, and it’s very simple, I remembered it after hearing it once.
"Then why didn't you succeed?"
Miss Hood was stunned for a moment, then said confidently, "I am nearsighted."
Guanghui was also confused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you don't usually wear glasses, I forgot about it... Um... What about Susu? Is she too busy to come?"
That's not the case." Miss Hood said with some disdain, "Susu is very smart and well-behaved, but she didn't feel anything after drinking the tea. I even wondered if her tongue was long for nothing. She could only say 'delicious'.
Two words…”
"Ah... that's true..."
Miss Hood waited patiently for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha... Guanghui, if you can't continue the conversation, don't force it."
Guanghui also smiled politely, said "sorry", and then fell silent again.
For a moment, the only sound in the compartment was the regular and boring sound of the train moving. Compared with the exclamations that came from nowhere, it seemed particularly lonely.
"...Are we getting old?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Guanghui said angrily, looking at the empty teacup on the table for a while. Just as he was about to suggest ending the tea party, he saw Changdao passing by the door.
Nagashima was wearing a white T-shirt with the words "Slacking Master" printed on it. The length of the T-shirt even reached the middle of his thigh, covering his shorts completely, making it look like he was not wearing any pants.
He had a head of unkempt hair and was holding a thermos bottle in his hand, the surface of which was covered with cartoon characters. He was walking forward while constantly looking back at something.
Although the other party is a ship girl from the White Eagle camp, Miss Hood of the Royal Family should not be able to interfere. However, today's tea party was really uneventful, so she had to use the unexpected appearance of Long Island as the starting point of a new topic.
"Long Island?"
"Hmm? Eh? Ah... It's Hood and Glory." Nagashima seemed to have just come back to his senses. He yawned and asked them, "What's going on?"
Miss Hood smiled demurely, "No, I just wanted to remind you about your dress and to pay attention to your image."
Changdao was stunned. "This carriage is full of our people, what should I pay attention to... Ah, are you Royal Family paying attention to this recently? Even the Royal Ark was forced to change its character design by you?"
Glory: "Royal Ark?"
Ms. Hood: "What do you mean by changing her character...she got into trouble again?"
"Well... not really." Nagashima made a "+" sign with his thumb and index finger, "It's just that I went from being a stalker and expelling lolita to being a simple and shy older sister. I can't get used to it all of a sudden."
Miss Hood's eyes lit up after hearing this. "It seems that I have played a certain role in her education. It sounds much better now. Maybe I can try to invite her to the tea party in the future."
Guanghui also smiled, then turned to ask Changdao: "Where are the people on the Royal Ark now?"
"Oh, she, she--" Nagashima said, tilting his head to glance at the aisle, "Ah, she just happened to come over, but it seems that the sage time hasn't passed yet."
The dignified Miss Hood and Guanghui obviously didn't understand what "sage time" meant, but they still understood the phrase "just happened to come".
So Miss Hood opened her mouth with satisfaction and called out, "Royal Ark? I heard from them that you have changed a lot, and I am very happy, so I want to invite you to participate in tomorrow's - who are you?
? "
Royal Ark, wearing a red scarf and having a new hairstyle, obviously has not yet recovered from the heavenly treatment, and a silly smile is still on his face.
"...Hey hey hey hey...
"Forget it, Guanghui, what do you think?"
"...Um.
Chapter 428 Family Relationship 6
"Indy sauce~"
"Ah."
"Indy~chan~"
"Ah."
"In-dy-chan-"
"......Um."
"Hehe...don't be so impatient with your sister, Indy-chan~"
Indy looked at Portland, whose smile was so bright that it seemed as if countless small flowers were spinning around him, and sighed softly, "...I am not impatient."
"Okay then, what are we going to do today?" Portland counted on his fingers, "Yesterday I told you a story... The day before yesterday we shared 'Indy Jam Cookies'... The day before yesterday I slept all afternoon... So today..."
Seeing Indy still showing no emotion, Portland simply jumped over from his bed and threw himself into his sister's arms. "Why don't we just have a private chat today?"
Indy actually had no opinion on this. She was usually quiet and her reactions were not as quick as others. She was always slow and hesitant. Fortunately, her sister Portland was always circling around her, so Indy didn't feel so bored.
Compared with the autistic Su Xin who is afraid of communicating with strangers, Yindi is actually more inclined to feel inferior because of her slow reaction. When she talks to others, she always pauses for a few breaths before giving a reply.
It may be considered a cute point in anime series, but in reality, seeing the other person patiently waiting for you to speak always hurts Indy's heart.
This makes it very difficult for her to communicate normally with others. Therefore, even though she has been in the port for so long, she can only be considered familiar with other ship girls at best, but not to the level of close friends.
Indy knew all about how good her sister Portland was to her. And precisely because she knew that, after being knocked down by her sister, Indy looked at Portland lying on her body and slowly rejected today's schedule.
"...No, sister...I need to rest."
"Eh——? Indy-chan, are you concerned about me? I'm in good health, right? I've always been healthy and don't need to rest. I've been looking forward to today's whisper session for a long time..."
After Portland finished speaking, she looked pitifully at the dazed Indy and waited patiently for her sister to give a reply. Unfortunately, the answer she got in the end didn't seem to be what she imagined.
"No... tomorrow." Indy seemed very determined, "Today... Sister, go out and play by yourself."
Portland, who had no idea what was going on, was devastated. He looked at Indy with tears in his eyes for a few seconds, then left the cubicle in his slippers, heartbroken.
At this time, Indy, who was a little slow, remembered to reach out for the tissue, but unfortunately the lost person had already left the scene.
Indy realized it later and felt anxious and sorry. She just wanted her sister to put herself aside for a while and talk to someone else.
Because in her sister's world, there can't be only one of her. Always taking up too much of Portland's time would make Indy feel a little uneasy, fearing that he was causing trouble for her.
But she didn't expect that her weakness in explaining and expressing herself would eventually lead to such serious consequences.
"...Sister...she has to apologize and explain properly when she comes back."
"...No, I'm just passively accepting things all the time."
"...I'm going to go out and look for her."
Even though he had made up his mind, Indy became extremely nervous when he thought about facing other people's questions and conversations when he went out.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the aisle outside, and the compartments near and far were also very quiet. This gave Portland, who was not yet ready to communicate with others, a good opportunity to head towards the aisle on the right that Portland took when he left.
Unfortunately, before she could take two steps, the ship girl in the compartment saw Indy, who was busy walking outside, and immediately asked: "Indy? Where are you going?"
Indy walked with his head down for more than two seconds before he realized that someone had called him. He quickly backed away and happened to meet the eyes of Ning Hai, who was supporting his chin.
Ning Hai smiled and waved the sticky rice chicken in his hand towards her, "Do you want to eat it? We made it before we left. There are gloves too."
Indy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and mustered up the courage to ask, "...Have you seen your sister?"
"Sister? Ah... Portland?" Ning Hai recalled for a moment, then pointed to the right, "I saw her passing by, and went to the right. She seemed to be in a bad mood."
"...Thanks."
Indy was about to leave in a hurry, but Ning Hai stopped him again, "Wait a minute, Indy, you don't seem to go out very often. Come and play with us when you have time? We are all very curious about you."
Indy found this very unbelievable, and turned to ask Ning Hai: "... Curious?"
"Yeah." Ning Hai said as he naturally reached out his hand to take the rice off Ping Hai's lips and stuffed it into his own mouth. "Portland always praises you to us."
"They say you're cute and kind, sometimes silly and adorable, and that even though you look a bit dull, you're a kid at heart. But in the end, they just don't want to take you out to play. How can we not be curious?"
As Indy listened, he suddenly remembered the scene of Portland sticking to him and coaxing him to eat heart-shaped cookies in a long voice, and he felt even more guilty.
"...I'm leaving now, let's go together next time..."
"Eh? It's a deal? I'll prepare a lot of delicious food for you to come and play?"
Indy didn't have time to respond. In order to find Portland quickly, she had to hurry and turn her head to look at each compartment when passing by to confirm whether her sister was inside.
It wasn't long before she saw the second scene that brought back memories.
Phoenix, who was unusually serious, was pulling Helena to sit on the bed, reminding her seriously not to suffer any grievances, to tell him if anything happened, and that she could return to her parents' home at any time.
The nonsense of the instructions, the solemn expression, and the irrelevant words made the educated Helena smile bitterly.
For some reason, Indy thought of Portland again. The other party had done the same thing to her before. He told her where the hot water in the shower was, what not to eat, and how to pay attention to electrical safety.
"..I know all this."
Thinking of this, Indy wanted to find Portland more urgently, apologize to her sincerely, confess his thoughts, and finally ask his sister to take him out to play.
She has figured it out. The only way to make herself happy while not affecting her social life in Portland is to open her heart, face her own shortcomings, and let everyone accept her.
Indy strengthened his will and continued to move forward. Finally, he heard the voice of his sister Portland, but it seemed that there was another person talking to his sister.
"I spent a lot of effort to buy this, so I won't bargain for it!"
"Eh? Well... well, who made me think that I urgently need fresh Indy-chan energy..."
"Deal, meow!"
"Hey hey hey...Indy-chan..."
Indy always felt that something was not right, so he subconsciously walked forward with light steps, and found that his sister was sitting opposite the green-haired profiteer, holding a comic book in her hand and grinning foolishly.
That comic book...
"... Taboo Sister
"Huh!?" Portland quickly buried the comic in his chest after hearing the voice, and then looked at his sister in panic, "Indy-chan?!"
But unfortunately, although Indy-chan was slow to react and speak, the visual transmission process of the picture was very fast, so she was still reading smoothly at this moment.
"Sister relationship...eh?"
So both of them fell silent.
Only Ming Miao, who received the transfer, was satisfied and even generously provided after-sales service:
"I still have electronic copies here. If you need them, I can sell them to you at half the price, meow~"
New Year's Extra-story-Amagi
Today's weather doesn't look very good, a little gloomy, like it's going to rain, with strong winds and the temperature dropping to around three or four degrees.
There will be no snow in winter at this temperature, but the biting cold wind will penetrate through the several layers of clothes and go straight into the bones, making it unbearably cold.
In such a temperature, most normal people would choose to stay indoors unless there is something important to do, and enjoy the warmth indoors for a while.
But nothing is absolute. In the cold wind of the early morning, a glass window of the building was pushed open, and then someone stuck his head out and looked at the sky outside.
She was a woman with long chestnut hair. She looked like she had just woken up. She was wearing a very simple white Sakura-style pajamas. She stood in front of the window in the cold weather and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh...it feels like it's going to rain..."
The hot air that came out of her cherry lips turned into a smoke-like mist that slowly dissipated in the cold air. She seemed to find this quite interesting, and exhaled lightly and watched for a few more breaths before turning around with satisfaction.
"I have to remind Susu to wear more clothes."
This is a port area that accommodates a large number of ship girls. Today is the New Year's Eve of Donghuang. According to the customs of Donghuang, the new year will begin after today.
However, for the Sakura Empire, today is not a day to remember. After all, their "New Year's Eve" is on December 31st. But since the commander in the port area is a Donghuang person, they naturally need to pay more attention.
Let's talk about this aspect.
