"Well, that's easy. I'll rent two-thirds of the store to open a cafe, and you can grow some specific flowers. I'll purchase from you regularly." Yorktown looked at the little commander and nodded slightly.
Of course Su Xin had no objection. Not only could she collect rent, but she could also see Harman, Nelson and the others more often, and she would have another place to go when she went out in the future.
The queen was happy that she was no longer a drag on others. As for Harman, although the deal was not negotiated by her, her "employee" was so capable that she, as the "little store manager", was naturally satisfied.
"How about it? I told you I could help you make it back, right?" The little cat girl asked for credit, "If I hadn't had such a good relationship with her, how could the rent be so cheap~"
"Yes, yes, our Haman is the best."
"Don't be so perfunctory, seriously...ah, and, change the password!"
"Haha, let's talk about it later."
The problem on this side was solved. Commander Su breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the small circle of Donghuang people who were chatting happily on the other side.
In fact, according to historical age, Haiqi is much older than Yixian, but the Donghuang ship does not care much about seniority, and the two of them tacitly call each other by their first names. (Note 1
Because they had just met as ship girls and were not very familiar with each other, they did not talk about any personal matters, but basically talked about the interesting things that happened to them.
Haiqi has been working outside for so many years and has been to many places, so naturally he has many memories to share.
Yixian likes quietness. Since its birth, except for large-scale events, it basically does not leave the port area too far, so it plays the role of a listener most of the time.
As for Ninghai and Pinghai, due to their early experiences as street performers, they could resonate with Haiqi's past and added a few words from time to time, creating a lively atmosphere.
Su Xin watched them talk about everything from past experiences to hobbies, poetry and songs, cooking, and everything under the sun. There was no topic she could join in on, so she simply got up and went out for a walk.
Quan Ye handed her a bottle of milk softly and reminded her to pay attention to the water stains in the corridor and be careful not to fall. The bathing pool in the corner was the staff pool, so if she wanted to go in, she could just go in.
After getting to know me, she became like a caring older sister, nagging me with a lot of words in a soft and timid tone, then belatedly realizing her shame, she let me go.
The young commander was very patient. After listening to a long speech and trying to gain enough favor from the commander, he pushed the door open and went out to get some fresh air.
There is a lot of moisture in the hot spring hall, and the lounge is not very spacious. The barbecue smell is a bit greasy. It is better to sit at the counter and greet any guests who may arrive.
But Su Xin was obviously overthinking it. After losing the living signboard of "Su Xiaozhijun", the hot spring center's business was no longer as good as before, to the point where customers had to queue up in the streets.
She sat behind the counter, drinking milk in gulps, and then she lay on the table, playing with her fingers out of boredom and swinging her legs.
Outside was a commercial street, bustling with people. The chattering was like a lullaby, which kept pulling her eyelids down until a scream rang out.
"Help! Someone is stealing something."
The young commander woke up from his half-asleep state, dazed and complaining about why he always encountered such things, while climbing over the counter and walking out.
The suspect pushed his way through the crowd and sprinted towards the end of the street, being so conspicuous that he couldn't be more conspicuous. Su Xin picked up a small stone on the side of the road and was about to launch a sneak attack when she was snatched away by a girl who fell from the sky.
“Ah!”
The little dragon with double horns and a fat tail stepped on the suspect and put his hands on his waist. "I am a samurai of the Sakura Empire, fighting for loyalty. Today, I see injustice on the road, and you met me, so you can only be defeated - Eh? Who are you? Don't rush over!"
Not long after, two taller women came. The one with silver-white hair and a forehead protector spoke first, "Longxiong, why haven't you come back for so long... Eh? What are you doing?"
Longxiong stepped on the prisoner, swung his big tail and wrestled with the girl with shining eyes. He was almost angry to death when he heard the sound, "Feilong! Don't just watch! Canglong, help me quickly, she, she is so strong!"
Canglong, who had black-blue hair and round glasses, frowned and looked at the human girl. He felt that she looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized
"You are the current commander of Sister Tiancheng, Commander Su Xinsu, right?"
The little commander who was obsessed with the big tail and dragon horns was stunned, relaxed his strength, caught the dragon that jumped on him, turned his head and asked in doubt: "Um... who are you...?"
"It was Sister Tiancheng who invited us here. It's our first meeting."
"ah·?"

PS: Note 1. After searching, it was shown that Haizhe was launched in 1898 and completed in 99, while Yixian was launched for sea trials in 1931, a difference of about 30 years.
Chapter 753 Fan Gets Up
"Commander Amagi-sister, can you please let go of my dragon tail?"
"It really has scales... So smooth! And soft, I thought it would be hard... Will it shed its skin?"
Longxiong moved his tail uncomfortably, causing the little commander who was clinging to his tail to shake as well and almost fall off his chair.
"...Why is Amagi-sister's commander such a strange person?"
"Oh...so strong!"
Longxiong, who was easy to appease, immediately straightened his chest and said, "Of course! My persistence is beyond your imagination! My strength is beyond your reach!"
Yixian, who knew the reason, smiled helplessly, turned to Canglong and nodded, "Sorry, guests who came from afar, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
"No, please don't mind it. We have heard about Commander Su's special hobby a long time ago."
"Really? I'm quite curious, can you tell me about it?" Yixian pushed two cups of tea over.
After taking it, sister Feilong raised her head and drank it down, then smiled widely. She was very bold and didn't keep anyone in suspense. She said whatever she wanted to say.
"I heard half of it from Sister Tiancheng. She said that Commander Su is curious about new things. Cases like the Sakura Empire that are slightly beastly might be given special attention, so we don't need to pay too much attention to it."
"The other half is a summary post I saw on the forum. It seems that the shipgirls who have seen her summarized it themselves, saying that they have been watching their butts for a long time.
The little commander whose reputation was falling retorted on the spot: "I was just curious about the feel of their tails. It was a complete misunderstanding. Why would I be interested in their butts..."
Feilong was stunned for a moment, and replied without a word, "Generally speaking... people are interested in butts, right?"
"...Are you a pervert?" Su Xin pinched the fat dragon's tail and complained very seriously, "It's very rude to stare at those places, okay..."
Longxiong could no longer bear it, "Then you should let go of my tail!"
"Hahahahahahahaha, sis, she, she is really interesting hahahaha—
Canglong pushed his glasses and tensed his expression. He raised his hand and patted his laughing sister. He asked Yixian, "We are very concerned about Sister Tiancheng and are curious about her recent situation. So we want to go to Guigang District to bother her for a few days."
"Of course there is no problem. She should be at home now, right? But why didn't you go directly to the harbor to find her?"
Feilong laughed enough and took a photo of the two people who were still entangled. "Well, it was Senior Longxiong who said he wanted to eat something before leaving, so we changed our route and came here to stroll around." (Note 1
"I, I am... I am replenishing my nutrition to deal with possible adverse events that may occur next!"
Longxiong put his hands on his hips and said, "If I hadn't asked, wouldn't that human's things have been taken away? Wouldn't I have lost an opportunity to practice justice?"
"Can I touch your horns?"
"Go away! What about pervert!? (Pervert!?)"
Yixian held his forehead helplessly, "I'm really sorry, Susu...is usually very serious."
Canglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, we understand."
"I can't understand it!!" Long Xiong, who was holding his head and not daring to let go, retorted angrily, until she saw the skewers that the little commander turned out, "Ah, this... it's not that I can't make compromises..."
Yixian saw this and made a decision, "If you don't have anything to buy, why don't you go back to the port? We will prepare the meal. You must have had a hard journey."
When Longxiong heard that there was food, he immediately perked up, and even the little commander who was touching his tail became less mean.
Canglong smiled faintly and accepted the favor. After all, they were really hungry. Talking to a smart person was less troublesome and she didn't have to make any requests herself. This made her impression of Yixian much better.
It wasn't that they didn't have money to buy food, but the train was delayed due to an accident on the way here, and they were delayed for about two days while changing trains.
Longxiong was always shouting "exercise, get stronger" and so on, controlling the talisman-shaped carrier-based aircraft to fly around him, resulting in a large consumption of oil.
The shortage of energy materials makes them always feel lack of energy, which cannot be compensated by eating rice or noodles.
Now that Yixian provides them with food and oil, they are of course relieved. At least they won't go hungry after entering the port. A ship girl will feel more comfortable only if she has ship equipment.
After listening to Yixian's words, Su Xin was a little confused, "Should I take them back? Then you...ah, want to continue chatting, right?"
"Yes." Haizhe was obviously very excited. "I haven't asked her for sewing skills yet. After I learn how to sew, I can mend my pants myself if they get torn."
Yixian did not refute. She really had not heard enough about Haiqi's experience. Besides, the other party was at work and could not invite him to the port area as a guest.
She could come back tomorrow, but tomorrow's work might not be as busy as today, so Yixian wanted to stay a little longer, but Su Xin's safety made her hesitate.
Fortunately, Ning Hai stood up and patted the little commander on the shoulder, "We should go back and prepare dinner. With guests coming, it may be more complicated, so I have to go back with you."
After saying that, Ning Hai winked at Yixian cutely, receiving a grateful smile from the other party in return.
Canglong stood up and said, "Then we will enter the port first and not disturb everyone's work here."
Yixian said goodbye and said, "You're welcome. Please don't be polite in the port area. Just treat it as your own home. We'll see you later."
"Do you shed your skin? Or do you shed your scales? Like snakes, three or four times a year?"
Longxiong licked the stick and muttered, "I am a dragon, not a snake. I cannot shed my skin. My scales... don't seem to have fallen off yet."
"What about your horns? What are they made of? Are they really like deer antlers? Are they hairy? Do they change color?"
"Oh, don't ask anymore. You are not allowed to touch them!" Longxiong glanced at the chubby Dabao and Erbao. "If you like fur, why not touch them?"
"I've touched you too many times. You're more of a novelty."
Dabao, Erbao: ...?
Longxiong was furious and wanted to refute something, but after getting off the car, he was shocked by the long line at the gate of the port area, "This, this... do I have to queue to come to your house?!"
Canglong pushed up his glasses. "...It should be the equipment store mentioned in the forum, right?"
"Is it really so popular?" Feilong listened to the occasional exclamations of "Oh my god!" and pinched his fingertips, "... Yeah, my fingers are itching..."
Canglong gave his sister a subtle look of disapproval. It was fine to play flower cards in private, but what if he played it in public and was misunderstood by others, which lowered his impression score?
Who knew that the commander waved his hand nonchalantly, "The probability is actually very low. Although the buyer makes money from a practical point of view, the cost of the equipment is not high. If someone takes the guaranteed reward, Ming Miao will make more money."
This honesty made Canglong look up to the young commander. At least he was much better than those profiteers who kept saying "I'm selling at a loss for the sake of the ship girls".
A few people passed the team and headed inside along the road. Along the way, the three visitors could feel the gap more and more.
This layout, this greenery, this well-organized order, this peaceful and tranquil atmosphere are so different from their iron-gray port area.
And this surprise reached its peak when they passed by the amusement park.
Longxiong, with chili powder on the corners of his mouth, widened his eyes and forgot to flick his tail. "How dare you build an amusement park in the harbor?! Who are you?!"
The delicate-looking girl scratched her head sheepishly and explained softly:
"I, I just have a little money..."
ps: Note 1, Longxiong was launched in 1931, Canglong in 35, Feilong in 37, Longxiong is a few years older, but a few years younger (wrong
Chapter 754 Recognition
There was plenty of oil resources at home. After making sure the three guests did not need to eat in advance, Ning Hai took some oil, stuffed a few snacks, and went to the cafeteria to get busy.
Longxiong was still in the stage of being shocked by Versailles' speech. He forgot to eat the cake with both hands. The main reason was that the difference between the two sides was too big.
The commander of their port area loves merit very much, so the resources are controlled very strictly. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, everything is based on practicality.
The KanColle dormitory is square, with four people living in one room. There is a bed on the top, a desk below, a cabinet on the left, and a ladder on the right. It is not much different from a university dormitory.
Apart from the cafeteria, warehouses, dormitories, command room and training ground, there are no other facilities in the port area, let alone an amusement park for entertainment purposes.
The port area is usually very quiet. People are either out completing commissions or resting in their rooms. The busiest time is probably when they are racing on the training ground.
There is nothing wrong with doing this, the ship girls can understand it, but they are not born just for fighting, they also have their own lives, so the past can only be considered fulfilling, not happy.
The commander was summoned by his official superiors some time ago. The ship girls didn't know what happened, but the commander video-chatds with the secretary ship every day. I heard that there was nothing serious and it was just a discussion.
Without the commander, everyone was a little uncomfortable at first in the port area, and the air pressure was very low. But after making sure everyone was safe, things gradually became lively again.
The ship girls would occasionally meet in the square, stop and chat with each other, and there were more topics about eating, drinking and having fun, and the atmosphere became more lively.
But Longxiong felt that there was no difference. She had been under the command of the port's flagship Amagi before, and now she was under the command of a secretary ship of another faction. She had no special feelings for the commander.
When Tiancheng retired without saying a word, she was still out there earning merits, but when she came back, he was gone.
She always felt something was fishy, but apart from a farewell letter, there were no other clues. If she went out rashly, she would be charged with desertion, so she could only be patient.
Later, as time went by, Longxiong gradually became confused. She occasionally felt that it might be a good thing for Amagi to retire, which was better than dealing with the trivial matters of the major camps and commanding a large number of ship girls to fight every day.
This kind of life lasted for a long time, until some time ago, when the commander asked them to try to contact Amagi, she learned that Amagi had a new commander.
Longxiong herself didn't really want Tiancheng to come back. She would go online and find out who Tiancheng's commander was, so it would be easy for her to find him.
It was obvious that Tiancheng was living a good life, so there was no need for her to beg them to come back and make things difficult for them. She only did so because the commander simply asked them to send the photos and didn't ask for anything extra.
Then the commander was called away by his superior. Longxiong was bored, but when he saw Tiancheng's invitation, he became interested.
She didn't want to change jobs, she just felt that she should go see the other person and take the opportunity to hang out outside as a warrior.
Longxiong tried to invite other people, but very few responded. Everyone was quite satisfied with the current atmosphere and had no plans to take the opportunity to travel.
