Hood and Bismarck were also self-disciplined people. They would either leisurely drink tea instead of water in the morning, or wipe the blunt end of the flag with a soft cloth.
Su Xin looked quite embarrassed. After all, she was the one who borrowed the things to poke the person yesterday. It was normal for her to be despised by the other party now.
Bismarck was generous and didn't say anything. He simply wiped it twice and put it away, so that the kids next door wouldn't feel guilty.
At around seven o'clock, a gendarmerie officer took them to wash up and then led them back. At exactly eight o'clock, Befa appeared on time with breakfast.
As soon as she entered the iron gate, she went straight to the cell where the young commander was, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Commander, do you already... know?"
Su Xin's face turned pale and she nodded solemnly, "...I understand."
"I'm sorry, I was late yesterday. When I got here, you had already eaten. I thought I'd make the best of it, but when I got back, I found out that Ms. Atago had called the police."
"She submitted the recordings to the gendarmerie as evidence. They were filled with..." Befa glanced at Dafeng unkindly, "full of unbearable noises..."
"It's my fault for coming late, and it's also my fault for not keeping it secret. Please... punish me." Beifa frowned and reflected on himself
Su Xin was not so ignorant of right and wrong. She waved her hand and said, "Sister Beifa, please don't mention it again. I... I still need to eat breakfast."
"...Besides, I only ate three or four pieces in total. The rest were eaten by Sister Hood. If anyone should feel disgusted, it should be her, right?"
Hood silently waiting for breakfast: (._.)???
"Okay Commander, I understand." Befa nodded and began to arrange the meal.
After they finished eating quietly, Befa quickly cleaned up and said goodbye. "I've asked before, and you can go home this afternoon. Please be patient for a while. Thank you for your hard work."
"Well, no, thank you Sister Beifa for bringing us the food, bye~"
"Okay, goodbye Commander."
The cell was quieter today than yesterday. Everyone seemed to have finished talking and was silent.
Valentine's Day has passed, and the New Year is coming soon. It is Donghuang's festival, and I think there won't be any big problems. Su Xin silently breathed a sigh of relief and thought about the follow-up plans.
Tiancheng is an accomplice and will probably return to Hong Kong earlier than Akagi. Su Xin actually misses her very much, but when she recalls the binding and reverse pushing in the past few days, she feels a little unhappy.
She didn't like Akagi very much, and Tiancheng knew about this, but he still chose to help his sister without asking for her opinion as the person involved. Su Xin felt that this was inappropriate.
To be honest, he was angry. Yesterday afternoon, Commander Su had planned to talk to Tiancheng during the prison visit, but something unexpected happened and he was unable to go.
If this continues, Su Xin always feels that she will quarrel with Tian Cheng one day, but the scene of the quarrel between the two of them...
It’s actually hard to imagine.
"...I still have to find a chance to talk to my sister. At least...I have to tell her all my grievances. That way, I won't get angry and we won't have to quarrel."
Su Xin has always been rational. Even though she has seven emotions and six desires now, she will not be affected too much. She can always find the most efficient way to solve the problem.
As for Akagi...
The negative experience brought to Su Xin was so serious that she didn't know how she would face this man who almost offered his body and intended to force his way into her heart after he came back.
Su Xin understood the [Yandere] attribute, and she could also understand the cause of the disease, but when this attribute was really moved from the two-dimensional world to the three-dimensional world, it no longer seemed so cute.
After all, she is her own ship girl. She cannot be hit or scolded. Keeping her by her side is like a time bomb. Su Xin thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure out a perfect plan, so she simply decided to deal with it coldly.
Cold violence is the most unbearable. Su Xin understands this and doesn't want to treat others like this, so she doesn't plan to ignore Chi Cheng.
It's just that the distance will be more obvious. A sister is a sister, and she has to be polite when necessary. She hopes to use this to remind Akagi to be more restrained, and at least not to repeat what happened two days ago.
In terms of the virtual port area, the first phase of scientific research only produced the Monarch, and it is still in the process of adapting. If other ship girls still need her to gain experience, the workload will be huge, so we can only wait and see.
The progress bar had been stuck for a long time. Su Xin had absorbed a lot of Rubik's Cubes before, but the value seemed to have reached a cap.
Now that she had been to another world, she had brought back a dozen black [Meta-Cubes]. She might as well try to absorb them when she got back. It would be better than just waiting.
"Others..."
Su Xin sighed, thinking of the Purifier and Observer who were killed by Helena that day. She wondered how these two were doing now.
She was not familiar with the observer, and before that, he coaxed her to come as a hostage to lure [Helena] into a trap. No matter how Su Xin thought about it, she didn't like it.
The Purifier, right? Su Xin didn't think that with the other party's intelligence, he could come up with such a way to trick her. She hadn't been in touch for such a long time, and she didn't know if something went wrong.
"..How about we use the New Year as an excuse to invite her to come over for a few days? She should agree, right?"
Su Xin was unsure of the attitude of [Siren], nor did she know the philosophy of [Ashes]. She felt that neither side was a bad person, but they had become enemies, and she was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.
"..We still have to talk to the Purifier. We can't just cut off contact like this, right?" The little commander groaned, "She still owes me a lot of money for snacks."
"...We are good friends, so should I spend more time maintaining this relationship?"
The young commander sighed, was in a daze for a while, had lunch, and entered the afternoon in a daze.
The military police came in and released the people at exactly three o'clock, freeing Hood, Bismarck, Su Xin, Lafite and Royal Ark, leaving only Dafeng.
The people of Dafeng were dumbfounded, lying in front of the iron bars with a look of disbelief on their faces, "What about me? Why don't you let me out?!"
"You? You still have two days to go." The police officer said in a businesslike manner, "Commander Su's maid reported you to us for trespassing twice. I hope you can reflect on this in the next two days."
"..Drink? I...Commander~Da Feng also wants to go back with you, Commander, please don't abandon Da Feng... Commander——
"Bang!"
After leaving the prison, Su Xin immediately closed the door to isolate the sound inside. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and stretched her body. "Well... I'm home!"
Bismarck, who was walking at the end, glanced at the four people in front of him, lowered his eyes, and thought about which direction he should go next. As a result, he saw a pair of thin legs in boots stopped in front of him.
"What are you standing there for? I told you I'm going to beat you up, don't even think about running away."
Hood took out his glasses and put them on. He looked unusually gentle and intelligent, but the words he said were not so harmonious. "I will teach you a lesson this time!"
Bismarck looked at his old friend carefully, then suddenly smiled, nodded and followed him.
"...good."
Chapter 594: Helping Others and Purifying Relatives
Su Xin just got out of the taxi and headed towards the command room.
Life in prison was too boring, so she wanted to find something to do as soon as she got home. As for Hood, who was leading his enemies to the training ground...
Fight if you want. It's not like the commander is going to fight himself. Besides, the practice bullets can't cause any serious injuries.
"File, file, file, file...
Su Xin walked forward with her relatively long legs, thump thump thump, head down, but before she had taken two steps, a "little cannonball" who loved sleeping hit her on the back.
"...Commander." Rafi found a good position and put his arms around the commander's neck, "...Rafi, I miss you."
Su Xin raised her hand and passed it through the white rabbit's legs, weighing her up, "Well...then I'll take you back to bed first, and wake you up when it's time for dinner?"
Rafi rubbed the commander's back, "...No need, we can go anywhere..."
Su Xin didn't say much and continued to head towards the command room with Lafite, planning to let him sleep on the sofa when they arrived while she approved the few documents she had accumulated with great difficulty.
God knows how much effort she made to keep herself busy. She forced herself to go to the command room every day and spent several days collecting money to compile a pile.
Small places are like this. Even if she becomes a little famous, the city is remote and few businessmen come to her for commissions.
After much thought, I think the thing that has been most busy lately is the application for the new commercial street near the port area.
On the way back, I saw that the construction was almost completed. Who would move into each store and what it would be used for, all these matters needed confirmation and approval from the commander Su Xin.
"Well, now I understand how Sister Sheffield and the others feel..." Su Xin sighed, "It's so easy during the weed season..."
Dido had caught up with her at some point, walking quietly behind the little conductor without saying a word, staring at her back with the watery eyes that she had lost but regained.
Su Xin heard footsteps and was about to say hello, but when she turned her head, she found that the white rabbit had fallen asleep with its head resting on her shoulder, so she had to give up the idea of saying hello.
The command room is closer than the dormitory and can be reached in a short walk.
Su Xin couldn't spare a hand, so Dido stepped forward and knocked on the door twice before she did. She opened the door and went in after receiving a response.
"Hmm? You're back." Yixian, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled faintly, "I see the time, it's almost time for you to come over."
He then stood up and helped the little commander take Rafi from his back, placed her gently on the soft cushion, took a blanket from the space, and covered her carefully.
As Lafei was fast asleep, Su Xin tried to lower her voice and asked, "How did Sister know I would come here...?"
"Because I'm your secretary ship, of course I have to know you well enough." Yixian pointed to a small pile of documents on the table, "Go and take a look. After you finish, we can almost finish our meal."
Su Xin nodded, walked to the chair in two or three steps, sat down, picked up the pen and began to carefully review the documents.
【About the specific facilities of the lecture hall】
[The lecture hall was originally designed to allow everyone to learn all kinds of knowledge. The instructors can be destroyers, cruisers, battleships, etc. There are no specific requirements for their identities. ]
[There is no restriction on teaching topics, but the commander must approve and agree before classes can begin.
【…】
【Given the diversity of the courses, more infrastructure is required than originally planned, so the commander is requested to increase the corresponding amount of funds to prevent budget shortfalls.】
"...Oh, it costs money."
After reading the first page of the document, Su Xin thought about it and turned to the second page. As expected, she saw the name of the profiteer in the applicant column.
"...Sister Yixian, do you know what exactly she wants to buy?"
Yixian walked over to Su Xin's side and read the whole thing in her hand. After a brief recollection, he answered, "I remember she said... she wanted to buy tableware for the cooking class, flowers and vases for the flower arrangement class, and..."
"Wait, cooking? Flower arranging?" The little commander was stunned. "I haven't heard of it."
"Well, she's even planning to open a paid course and have Dafeng come on stage to teach everyone how to get your favor."
Su Xin was confused. "...You mean the one who's still in jail? That won't do. He'll corrupt the kids. No way!"
The little commander put the file aside and continued to read.
【About the application for funds for the expansion and renovation of the port area】
【Regarding the application for construction permit for each camp’s independent residential area】
[The equipment store is too small, I want to make it bigger and ask for support]
Give me money
...
Su Xin sighed and looked away, "Didn't she make a lot of money by selling equipment? Why is she still thinking of asking me for money..."
Yixian also found it funny, but judging from the commander's attitude, he probably wouldn't approve it, so she simply counted out seven more and put them aside.
"These are also Ming's applications. The reasons are pretty much the same. It doesn't matter if you don't read them."
The young commander nodded and continued to look through the documents, and found that the following application matters were much more normal.
Most of them want to open shops on the commercial street near the port area, including flower shops, coffee shops, clothing stores, snack bars, etc.
Su Xin was naturally happy to make the surrounding more lively. She asked Yixian for his opinion, which was no problem. She approved them one by one.
By the time all the documents were processed, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
Su Xin got up at Yixian's reminder, and woke up Lafei who hadn't gotten enough sleep yet. She prepared to take the maid with her, and the four of them went directly to the cafeteria for dinner.
But when she opened the door of the command room, she immediately saw U-47 standing outside for who knows how long.
As a submarine, U-47 is not very tall, but its development is surprisingly good. Sometimes it looks more like a smaller version of a light cruiser.
Su Xin had not spoken to the other party since she built U-47. This time, the other party was waiting at the door. I guess there must be something important.
So she stopped and asked softly, "U-47? What's wrong?"
"...Yesterday, I saw a very strange person outside." U-47 silently took two steps back to distance himself. "He had long white hair and was riding a shark... Well, it should be a shark."
"Riding a shark?" Commander Su had some guesses in his mind.
U-47 nodded and added, "I didn't know which ship it was. I didn't feel it, so I... attacked it with torpedoes. It was useless. She yelled twice and disappeared."
"Is that so..." Su Xin thought for a moment and handed over a candy. "I see. Thank you for telling me. This is a reward, right?"
U-47 looked at her twice, reached out to take it, but didn't eat it. He thanked her coldly, turned around and left.
Su Xin didn't mind it much. The other party was rather introverted, and it was good enough that he was willing to talk to her. She shouldn't ask for too much, and she thought things would improve as they got to know each other better.
The most important thing now is that she should call a friend who came to visit secretly.
The commander flipped to the chat panel of the Purifier, called the other party, and waited patiently for dozens of seconds before the other party reluctantly answered the call.
[…What are you doing.]
"...You came here yesterday?"
[No! I'm very busy, don't flatter yourself!]
