Su Xin naturally had no objection. After using her smart device to determine her location, she opened WeChat and was shocked by the entire list of messages.
The system notification sound keeps repeating like a virus, freezing the entire WeChat page. There is no response when turning off the screen, so you can only wait patiently for it to stop.
Tiancheng was quite curious, but had no intention of looking at these private matters. After thinking for a while, he removed his main gun, grabbed the muzzle, and placed the main body at the feet of the young commander.
"If you can't recite it, then just sit down. It will be hard to explain if someone sees you."
Su Xin thought this was fine, so she sat on it, crossed her legs and made sure she wouldn't be thrown off, then let Tian Cheng, who was working as a laborer in front of her, pull her along.
Sitting on the main gun feels a bit like surfing, or a small jet ski?
Su Xin couldn't describe it, she just felt that the wind was quite strong and very interesting. However, there were a lot of unread messages on her phone, so she had to focus on the chat list.
In addition to the pinned port group chat, the first one is the Sakura aircraft carrier Akagi.
Even without looking at the note she set for the other person, Su Xin could easily recognize the other person's identity from the avatar that he specially uploaded.
In a small square frame, nine tails are arranged neatly and well-spaced, filling up the limited space, as if afraid that others would not know how beautiful her tails are.
Looking at the number of messages again, she sent the most out of everyone, [99+], and the most recent one was from six minutes ago, at :.
[Sister Akagi]: Commander, are you back?
[Sister Akagi]: Commander, are you back?
[Sister Akagi]: Commander, are you back?
【SX】: Just got back and now heading to the shore
Just as Su Xin was about to return to the interface to check the news about the next ship girl, Akagi called her instantly.
Tiancheng, who was "pulling the cart" in the front, obviously heard the bell as well, and slowed down his pace, and the fluttering sound came over with the wind.
"Hmm? Does anyone know we're back?"
"Ah... it's Akagi-nee, I just messaged her back."
Su Xin answered the phone, but before she could say anything, the voice on the other end came through the receiver like a tape recorder.
【Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander】
"beep."
Tiancheng was stunned again, "Why did he hang up?"
Su Xin looked at her thumb that moved quickly and pondered for a few seconds, "Maybe my hand... is too scared?"
Tiancheng: ?
Just as she finished speaking, Akagi called again. Su Xin felt that she could not afford the consequences of hanging up the phone again, so she chose her words carefully and finished the call directly after the call was connected.
"Sister Akagi, we just came back. We are healthy and in a stable state of mind, but I still have a lot of messages to reply to. Why don't we just text and communicate. Thank you, sister, goodbye!"
"beep."
Su Xin heaved a long sigh of relief, and suddenly she admired her friend named Fang who was far away from home. She could speak so many words in one breath, her lung capacity must be amazing, right?
Just as she was thinking about it, Akagi's messages began to flash across the screen again, one after another, and the phone kept ringing "ding dong ding dong". Most of the messages were asking about their location and status.
This speed is faster than her copying and pasting, and the contents are different. Su Xin has reason to suspect that the other party used all the nine tails in the avatar to type.
"...How flexible." Su Xin thought, "I wonder if I can type with my tail in the future."
In order to avoid being trapped in Akagi's chat interface, Su Xin quickly found the question, typed a long reply and sent it out, then returned to the list and continued reading.
[Sister Xianghe]: Senior is crazy. If you see my message, remember not to reply to her, or she will nag you endlessly.
[Sister Hu De]: Now everyone is spontaneously going out to sea to look for you. Please remember to pay attention when you come back. We are waiting for you.
[Long Island]: I didn’t hear that I was going to be beaten by the Siren… My phone fell into the sea when I fainted. Now I’m using the vicious pad. Um… Come back and help me pick a new one.
[Vicious]: ...Changdao used my account to draw from the permanent pool, save the child QA Q·
[Sister Guanghui]: I’ll tell you a secret. Your sister Hu De hasn’t had black tea for two days. If you don’t come back, she really won’t be able to hold on any longer.
[Sister Helena]: Atago said you and Amagi were taken away? But the Purifier said it was nothing... Anyway, if you see the message, remember to contact me as soon as possible.
[Sister Sheffield]: Master, your room hasn't been cleaned for two days. Please forgive me if I accidentally find anything strange.
[Sister Beifa]: It’s my fault. They said nothing should happen, but I still blame myself. Please come back soon. Beifa will be here waiting for your punishment.
[Sister Yixian]: Be safe, I'll take care of everything at home. Also... come back early.
Su Xin suddenly didn't want to continue reading. The messages everyone sent her were full of worry and anxiety, which made her throat feel more and more bitter the more she read.
Moreover, she didn't know what Rafi would say to her, blame or sadness, uneasiness or fear, all of which would make her feel guilty.
Su Xin wrinkled her face and began to worry about how to face everyone after returning, especially the secretary ship Lafite. As she was thinking about it, she suddenly realized that the Tiancheng in front had stopped at some point.
She was a little confused, and leaned over the sky city, and saw the girl standing not far ahead, and her expression was stunned.
"..·Rafi found you."
[Rafi]: Rafi will find the commander.
Chapter 505 Squirrel's Tree Hole
......"
"..."
Tian Cheng, who was still pulling the main gun forward, smiled and said, "How come after not seeing each other for a while, you two have become estranged?"
Su Xin didn't dare to speak and secretly glanced at Lafite who was following her.
There was no expression on the other person's face, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he was feeling. He looked a bit like me when I had facial paralysis in the past.
Su Xin felt it was good to be in this stubborn state. At least it was not easy for others to see through her, and she would not expose her nervousness.
But now the person with the wooden face was replaced by Lafite, and the young commander realized how nervous he was facing this situation.
She was not afraid, but simply thought that she had done something wrong, but she didn't know how to deal with it or make up for it, which made Su Xin speechless.
"Will she be angry...?"
"Are you blaming me for not contacting her for so long? But I don't have any signal..."
"Or is it because I didn't reply to her message after I came back..."
"...Is it too late for me to see it now?"
"...If you do that, she'll get angry...
Su Xin was feeling a little depressed, and when she thought about how she had made everyone worry, she became even less happy, so she stared at her shoes with a bitter face.
Rafi looked at her for a long time and couldn't help asking, "...Commander, do you like shoes?"
"Hmm, eh?" Su Xin tilted her head and looked up at the white rabbit beside her, looking confused. "Shoes? They're... okay, right? At least they're waterproof?"
"......Oh." Lafite pursed her lips and closed her mouth without saying anything.
The young commander sniffed the scent on Lafite very cleverly. It was a light bitter smell, which meant that the other party was feeling sad, mixed with some sourness, and probably a little aggrieved.
As for why she was sad or why she felt aggrieved, she couldn't smell it with her nose alone, but Su Xin was still able to use the exhaustive method to try the most likely options.
"...I'm sorry for making Rafi worried."
"...Um."
The bitter taste faded a little, indicating that this factor was indeed a factor in her bad mood. Su Xin secretly took note and asked her, "How have you been these past two days? Did you sleep well?"
"...Rafi didn't."
Well, it's a little thicker again. It seems that Rafi didn't sleep well because of the danger she encountered. Maybe she didn't sleep at all. This is too big a sacrifice for the White Rabbit.
"Then...then take a good rest when you get back. It doesn't matter how long you sleep, okay?"
"...good."
Su Xin sniffed the bitter smell that hadn't gotten any better, and after thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I...I will sleep with Lafei."
Rafi glanced at her and said, "Well, Rafi remembers it."
The sour feeling lingering at the tip of his nose was greatly reduced, which made the little commander feel relieved, but at the same time he began to worry about himself silently.
As far as she knew, when Enterprise sent her back, it did not take back her strange physique at all, but instead took away something else.
So far, Su Xin has not been able to find out what she is missing, and her tolerance to strange physical conditions has decreased a lot.
When the time comes, I will accompany Lafite to rest. I can't just stand by the bed and watch her sleep, right? She is not a ghost.
It probably doesn't work if one person sleeps on his own quilt. Doesn't that mean you don't want to be with others?
What should I do then? Will she sleep under the bed?
Tiancheng had obviously anticipated that scene, but she was very stable now. She had already won anyway, so she should really show some bearing of a queen.
The three of them had different thoughts and didn't want to talk, which resulted in a very quiet journey.
Fortunately, they met many ship girls intermittently in the second half of the journey, most of whom were not from their own family. After all, the number of ship girls in their port area was not as large as that of the other side, and it would be even more difficult to find them after they dispersed.
These ship girls were all very worried about Su Xin's situation and asked her where she had gone and what had happened.
Without her facial paralysis to cover her up, Su Xin became nervous whenever someone asked her a question. She stuttered and her cheeks turned red, and she forced herself to read out the short explanation as if it were a text.
Because of the "teachers" who came to check one after another, I recited this text over and over again for more than twenty times, and only returned to the shore with a dry mouth.
There were almost no ship girls left in the gathering place. The cafeteria was completely empty. Even the kitchen goddess was not in the cafeteria.
Su Xin was very hungry again. She was sitting at the dining table and was surrounded by a group of ship girls who kept asking her questions. No matter how she answered, she would not be able to finish the conversation until her stomach protested.
“咕
"..."
"..."
I don't know which ship girl in the crowd laughed out loud first, but then everyone started to laugh too, enjoying the wonderful fun of teasing children.
Tiancheng left Lafei to keep her company, and went to the kitchen, planning to make some food for Su Xin, and at the same time reward himself for eating raw fish for nearly half a month.
Lafei was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, so he could only sit next to Su Xin, put his hand in the palm of the little commander, and started looking at her without saying a word.
This made Su Xin, who was thin-skinned, suffer. After being joked about by others, her face temperature would not go down and it turned red like a little apple.
"Hmm, why didn't I notice that you were so shy before, Commander Su? You seem so cool and aloof."
"That's fine too, but the little conductor who blushes now is cuter after all~"
"Hey, sister, I have some snacks here. Do you want to fill your stomach? Just call me 'good sister' and I'll give it to you!"
"The members of the Military Police are still here. Can you be more restrained? You want to go to the cell tonight, right?"
"Ah? Sister, I am the military police. I brought the key, okay? Commander Su, how about it? The cake is delicious, isn't it?"
Su Xin stammered and couldn't say anything, and her blushing face made the older sisters call her adorable. They all contributed all the snacks in their hands, piling them up into a small mountain on the dining table.
When Tiancheng brought out the noodles, he saw Su Xin, who had eaten her fill timidly, and Lafite, who had also been fed a lot.
Helplessly, she could only hold the bowl and chopsticks, and stand leisurely at the door of the restaurant to eat by herself.
After their sisters came back, the group of ship girls who had taken advantage of the situation dispersed and sat down in scattered places, leaving the center position to the ship girls in the port area.
But in fact, Miss Hood and the others didn't have much to say. Seeing that their little commander was fine was more important than anything else, so they just asked a few simple questions and left it at that.
As for whether everyone thinks this way... who knows? Anyway, "revenge will be settled later" has become the consensus of all of them.
As a support commander, Su Xin's task is not heavy. At most, she only needs to provide a redemption channel for the unorganized ship girls.
Now that the two Siren leaders have disconnected, the Siren ships will no longer come out to die, and the activities in City H will be declared over ahead of schedule.
The non-organized ship girls were very satisfied. Their equipment was basically refurbished. What's more, they even saved up their food expenses for the next year. The early end of the event did not affect them at all.
This incident was caused by Siren. The official lost a senior executive, which was force majeure, so they had to transfer a new one.
The surveillance investigation on Su Xin naturally came to an end with the accidental death of the leader.
After taking some time to say goodbye to everyone, Su Xin and her group took a boat from the gathering place back to H City, preparing to take the train back home.
Nagashima sighed, "Ah...why do I feel like every activity is not so stable."
"...Didn't the commander buy you a new phone? Instead, who is responsible for the garbage coming out of the permanent pool, me?" He glanced at the culprit viciously.
Miss Hood breathed a sigh of relief, and under Guanghui's amused gaze, she secretly checked the space and saw that there was still black tea in stock. She felt relieved and prepared to enter the station and get on the bus.
Yixian, as always, handed some dried meat to Su Xin and rubbed her hair lovingly, "You've lost a lot of weight... I'll have to cook some special food for you when I get back."
