The external equipment on the feet has not changed, it is still the boot style, and the size is suitable. With a slight movement, she can jump far. And in the process of applying force, Su Xin can actually feel the heat wrapping around her whole body.
"Well, it's really warm. I think two or three pieces will be enough for the time being."
Sheffield stood there expressionlessly, watching Su Xin jumping around the room in her tights. She waited until she had enough fun before she took out a new set of clothes and handed it to her.
A sweater, a coat, and trousers are a simple outfit that looks good and is convenient for movement, but is obviously not suitable for wearing outside in low temperatures.
The young commander understood that the other party wanted him to try the clothes on and go out, so without much hesitation, he quickly put on the clothes and then opened the door to let in the cold wind.
She then discovered that when she didn't move, her clothes would indeed slowly become colder, but as long as she lifted her feet and took a few steps, heat would be generated continuously from her body, completely unaffected by the temperature.
Once the problem of keeping the torso warm is solved, everything else becomes even simpler. Gloves and hats are all provided. Keeping the face warm is a little difficult, but not unbearable. Just apply some more facial cream.
After trying [Set ], Su Xin simply couldn't let it go. She even wore it after meals and had the leisure to lean on the railing of the corridor to watch the snow.
"Tomorrow." Su Xin thought, "Tomorrow I can go out with everyone."
"We need to swipe more Siren ships so that the monarch can come out sooner... Well, by the way, we can find an opportunity to see if we can meet the Purifier."
"The problem of my body having inexplicable reactions has been around for a long time. If I don't solve it now... I don't know how many people will be added to the list of people I can't contact in the future."
"..your face is still a little cold, let's go in."
Su Xin looked up at the moonless and starless night sky, turned around and went into her room, changed into her pajamas, turned on the night light, and went to bed with anticipation.
Vanya, who was busy closing the shop and going back to sleep, stretched and looked for the chain to lock the door. Chen Yang, who was sitting by the window, tilted his head to look at the room in the middle of the fourth floor, then got up and left when he was called.
The pink-haired woman who had just returned from a bath heard her owl hoot twice. She glanced inconspicuously at the two people who closed the door and left together.
"...Did you hear me correctly?"
"Goo."
"...I understand. I will pay attention to it."
Chapter 465 Senior
Today is a new day.
For other shipgirls, the sky before dawn means that the busy life of killing monsters and collecting equipment is about to begin, but for Akagi...
"We will meet again today... the Commander and I's child~"
Akagi flicked his tail and pushed the quilt aside, then stretched out his hand to sit up. His long dark brown hair covered the bed, and his scarlet eyes lit up in the dim room.
After pressing the switch, the darkness was swept away. Akagi's expression was extremely gentle. When she thought of the appearance of her future child, her heart softened.
"Ah~ After all, she's my 'mom'... I have to dress up nicely, hehe..."
As she spoke, Akagi stepped into her wooden clogs, and with a slight "click" sound, she slowly walked to the bathroom, carefully did her daily cleaning, and took a comb to start tying her hair.
In the past, she always let her long hair hang loose without taking care of it, but today was her first official meeting with "Little Akagi", so naturally she had to leave a good impression on the other party.
"The hairstyle of the mother character." Akagi thought for a moment, "I remember that the hair was tied in front of the chest, right...?"
Recalling the unclear image in his mind, Akagi took a ribbon, tied his hair together, and put it in front of his chest, resulting in the ends of his hair hanging down to his legs.
"...It's too long."
Akagi stared at his own hair which was too long and silently said, "It's too long."
After a moment of silence, the paranoid fox picked up a knife and said with a smile, "Cut it off? Haha... The first impression is very important, just cut it off, cut it off..."
Just as she was about to take action, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Akagi's dressing process was interrupted. She was naturally in a bad mood, but thinking that it might be her sister or "daughter", she still patiently went to open the door first.
The pure white nightgown was completely unable to withstand the low temperature outside and was blown all over the place by the cold wind. But what was even colder than this was the look in Akagi's eyes as he looked at the person outside the door.
"...What are you doing here?"
"Shouldn't you invite me in first according to etiquette? Leaving a junior like me standing outside in the cold wind... Shokaku is really impressed by your upbringing~"
Akagi narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the junior in front of him who was in disheveled clothes and looked like he had not even had time to wash. He was not very willing to let anyone in.
However, when she thought that she had to do the commander's makeup and that the "daughter" she was going to meet later was also made by her, Akagi endured it.
"...Come in."
Shokaku looked at Akagi's back as he entered first, then glanced at the other's still intact long hair, breathed a sigh of relief, and then closed the door.
Just after she walked in a few steps, Akagi in front of her stopped and looked back at her expressionlessly, "What are you doing here? Sorry to bother me."
Shokaku hesitated for a few words, not knowing what to say. She heard Akagi was going to have her hair cut, so she dropped her headphones and ran over. She didn't have time to think of an excuse.
Feeling Akagi's slightly impatient gaze, Shokaku's mouth was one step faster than his brain. Before he could think of an excuse to come over, he had already uttered sarcastic words.
"I never thought that my senior's pajamas would be so plain... I said that according to my senior's aesthetics, shouldn't the purple pajamas be embroidered with red flowers?"
As soon as she said this, Shokaku knew something was wrong. Seeing Akagi's increasingly stern expression, she felt a little annoyed. She clearly didn't mean to anger him this time.
Fortunately, Akagi seemed to be in a good mood today, and his patience was much better. When he heard this, he didn't rush to chase people away, but became thoughtful instead.
"Tell me...if you had a mother, what kind of pajamas would she wear to sleep?"
Shokaku was stunned, "What do you mean? I don't have a mother?"
"Oh, I didn't have any in the first place? That's fine."
"...That's not right. What's wrong with this fox today? Not only did he want to get a haircut for no reason in the morning, but he also asked about my mom."
Shokaku frowned, feeling that the situation was serious. Seeing this, Akagi, who had asked a strange question, no longer had any hope, "Heh... What's the point of asking you? So can we get out now?"
"How can you chase people away for no reason? I haven't done anything yet." Shokaku retorted subconsciously, but then felt something was wrong and took two seconds to react.
"Senior, you are worthy of being a senior. You are so arrogant. It's not even daybreak outside, and you are showing off here. You are really a fool.
Akagi smiled, and her red eyes, which had not yet been painted with eyeshadow, stared straight at Shokaku. The knife that she had intended to use to cut off her long hair was back in her hand, shining brightly and blindingly.
As a ship girl, Shokaku should not be afraid, but when she made eye contact with Akagi, she felt inexplicably panicked.
But she herself was not sure whether she was worried about her personal safety or something else.
"You're interrupting..." Shokaku heard Akagi say, "My dressing time..."
"Hehe... If you don't leave a good impression... I won't let you go~"
"This is the first time I met my 'good daughter'. You should be more sensible, right? Even if I am angry about this, you will understand me, right...?"
When Shokaku heard the key words, he was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously ignored the knife and asked Akagi instead.
"What... my dear daughter? What do you mean by first meeting?"
"Oh, yes...it's up to you to do it." Akagi restrained his smile, "Go out, I'm busy now, don't disturb me."
Shokaku pondered for a moment, "Let me... You're not talking about the Commander, are you? Although she does look like you after putting on makeup, isn't it a bit too far-fetched?"
Akagi didn't think there was anything wrong, "I know, but we will have a child sooner or later, and she will definitely grow up to be like this, like the two of us."
"I'm going to prepare for the meeting with my daughter in the future. Is that okay? I'm going to get used to the way of getting along with my daughter in advance... Do you want to intervene?"
"Hehe...you want to hinder me?"
Perhaps it touched Akagi's heart. Shokaku watched him slowly approaching, feeling very oppressive. He suddenly thought of a solution, "If I were to meet my daughter, it would be very rude of you to behave like this, Senior."
Akagi paused when he heard that, then slowly stepped back, but his cold gaze still remained on Shokaku.
Shokaku thought of his hair and started to talk nonsense along this line, "Senior, you need to change your hairstyle. With your hair down, you look like a lunatic... Uh, I mean
"I have this plan."
Shokaku opened his mouth, surprised at how easy it was for Akagi to talk to him, "Well... you need to change your clothes... your usual short skirt is too revealing, and you don't have any dignified manners at all!"
Akagi crossed one hand over his chest and put the tip of the knife against his white chin to think, "What you said... makes sense."
"Uh... if you ask me, I can change your look before I help you put on makeup. I just don't know if you-
"Please help me."
Xianghe was simply shocked. Even a bolt from the blue was not so scary. She and Akagi had been fighting for so long and they both disliked each other. She never thought that because of Su Xin, the other party would give in for the first time.
"...Shouldn't I be happy? Why do I feel so empty all of a sudden..."
Shokaku frowned and looked at Akagi's fixed gaze. She shook her head to get rid of all distracting thoughts, directed Akagi to sit on the sofa, then took out her makeup bag and started to put on makeup.
"Senior, your hair is so good. You must not comb it normally, right? It's so sloppy. You have brought shame to Sakura Empire..."
"...I want my mom's hairstyle."
"Tsk, why cut your hair? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to cut it in half? I don't know what you're thinking about all day long."
"Have a baby with the Commander."
"..."
Xianghe was silent for a while, then he couldn't help laughing, "You really have the style of a senior, doing things your own way, without any distractions..."
After saying that, Shokaku paused, took out the lip gloss, and dyed Akagi's lips a bright vermilion color, then gathered his things and packed them all.
Akagi got up impatiently and went to the bathroom. After looking in the mirror, he was very satisfied. "Hehe... you are indeed much better than me in this aspect."
Xianghe paused when he heard that, and didn't respond. He just put his messy hair back into the space silently, then turned around, opened the door and went out.
She had personally helped to apply the quiet and elegant makeup, but Shokaku had never expected to hear words of affirmation from the mouth of the senior who was regarded as "invincible" at this time.
"if…"
Xianghe leaned against the door, looking at the snowflakes blowing in his face with the cold wind, melting on his face with a cool touch.
"If you were still here then... would you recognize me?"
Chapter 466 Focus on the Present
In order to set off before other ship girls gathered, Su Xin got up early today.
After washing and bathing, she put on her suit immediately, then dared to open the door, locked the room against the cold wind, and prepared to go to Shokaku to put on her makeup.
"I wonder if Sister Xianghe has gotten up yet..." Su Xin thought and turned her head, but when she looked up, she saw Xianghe, who was only wearing a single piece of clothing, standing in the corridor in a daze.
It was freezing cold, and I had no idea what Shokaku was looking at. The commander followed his gaze and looked into the distance, "...There's no sun today."
Shokaku had just come out of Akagi's room and was in a daze for a while. When she caught a glimpse of a person in the corridor from the corner of her eye, she came back to her senses.
She didn't find it strange to see Su Xin. Her commander had a regular life and would get up early if he had something to do. So she casually opened the door and invited him in.
"Commander, please sit down for a while. I haven't washed up yet."
Su Xin nodded obediently, sat on the small sofa and watched Xianghe go into the bathroom, then she looked around the room casually.
The curtains were still open, the bedding was messy, and he hadn't washed up yet, so I guess Shokaku was in a hurry to go out for something.
There were some scraps of paper in the trash can, not very finely torn, but Su Xin didn't think of spending the effort to restore them in order to pry into their privacy. However, the empty juice can in it looked familiar.
She took it out casually, saw the lip marks on the edge of the can, and the word "Vodka" printed on the ingredient list on the can, and she had an idea in her mind.
"I guess I can't just drink whatever my sisters give me..."
In a familiar position by the wall was the monitoring device that Su Xin had seen last time, thrown on the ground by someone. Next to it was a notebook with the cover facing up, with a fox in the snow printed on it.
Su Xin thought about it and decided not to go over to look at the contents. She just helped Xianghe fold the quilt and sat back in her seat.
Xianghe moved quickly. After a quick wash and a hair tie, he came out. His unmade-up face looked a little pale. Su Xin inexplicably felt that he was not in a very good mood.
"Akagi-chan's makeup is quite simple. I won't put too much on you, Commander, you can rest assured."
Su Xin nodded, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to apply facial cream anyway."
Xianghe responded, accidentally glanced at the neatly folded bedding on the bed, then looked at the little conductor in front of him who closed his eyes obediently, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Commander Su heard the sigh and asked her with his eyes closed: "What's wrong, are you tired?"
Xianghe was carefully applying eye shadow to Su Xin with a soft brush. He paused after hearing this and replied as if he meant something.
“… Kind of.”
"Oh...why don't you just rest at home for now? We don't really need to attack with so many people."
Shokaku thought about it for a while, then shook his head. If she didn't go, that shameful senior would definitely do all kinds of weird things that would damage the reputation of Sakura Empire, right?
With her eyes closed, Su Xin could feel the tingling sensation of the soft brush gently caressing the tails of her eyes. It was soft and had a hint of the fragrance of cosmetics.
Mixed in this smell was a bit of the originally rich scent, but it was too light, so it seemed less offensive.
This is the smell of Akagi.
"Sister Shoukaku."
