"...So Tiancheng-sister also likes to have her belly touched?" The little commander tried to draw inferences from her example.
Atago was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to be asked this, but at this moment, hesitation was the adjuvant for doubt. If she hesitated, all the persuasions before would be in vain.
Therefore, Ai Da Gou nodded affirmatively, "Yes, foxes are also canines. It's not just about patting the belly, head, and chin. It's the same for any shipgirl from the Sakura Empire."
Su Xin seemed to have understood. According to this line of thought, what Atago said seemed to make sense. So it was indeed a bit too much for her to rush over in such anger to ask for accountability.
"Uh... yeah, I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood you..."
Atago leaned closer to the little commander, and seeing that he didn't resist, she made a request, "In that case... can you touch me? My belly or somewhere else, as long as you want, it's all fine~"
Su Xin looked at the deformed leg flesh due to squeezing, and the armor that still had its shape under the loose clothes. She swallowed her saliva and shook her head in a very useless way, "It's still, it's the belly..."
Atago laughed even more happily, because what she said just now was "anywhere", deliberately leaving a gap for the little commander to drill in. Touching the hand or the face obviously made sense, but the other party chose to touch the belly...
"It looks like the good days are coming soon~ I'm really looking forward to it..."
Ai Dagou, smiling, straightened his waist and lifted up his shirt, exposing his flat and tight abdomen to the public. Although he had no private parts, the atmosphere was unusually ambiguous.
This was the countermeasure she came up with after much thought. If it was too radical, she would be disliked like Dafeng. If it was too tactful, she would just stay where she was.
The best approach is to strike a balance, maintaining contact beyond the normal scope while avoiding rising to an overly high level of harmony.
Little by little, like a spider hunting, is the best way to get her into the other person's heart.
Su Xin, who was regarded as prey, was like her hands were entangled by sticky spider silk, and she moved closer to the opponent's waist and abdomen little by little.
In the moment before your fingertips touch your smooth skin, the classic project arrives late but arrives.
"bang bang bang"
"Atago! I know the commander is here. For her safety, open the door quickly, or we will break in!"
Ai Dagou's expression suddenly darkened, but softened before the startled little commander noticed, "Well... what a pity, save it for next time, remember it, okay?"
"Eh? Ok, ok..."
"Then I'll take you out. Remember to come and sit with me often next time."
Atago opened the door, ignored Daiho and Akagi at the door, smiled and saw the young commander and the maid off, then turned around with a cold face and slammed the door and locked it.
"It's so annoying."
The amount of information Su Xin received today was a little too much. She had never thought that it was wrong to treat the Sakura Empire's ship girls as normal people. It would be more appropriate to treat them as beast girls.
This theory that slightly overturned her worldview made her a little dazed, so that before she knew it, she walked to the gate of Tiancheng and stood still.
It seemed that there was a guest, as the door was not closed but wide open. Su Xin took off her shoes without thinking and walked in front of the four people who were drinking tea.
Amagi was a little surprised by the young commander's visit. She did hear the voice just now, but it was obvious that the other party was looking for Atago. She didn't expect him to come to her room at this time.
"Susu?" She smiled gently, "What's wrong? You look dizzy. If you're still sleepy, why don't you go inside and take a nap? Where's Dido? Do you want to drink with us?"
The maid shook her head and declined, while the young commander slowly walked up to Tiancheng and sat down. Amidst everyone's puzzled expressions, he raised his hand and gently scratched the battleship's smooth chin.
Tiancheng was stunned for a while, blinked, and opened his mouth slightly in the horrified eyes of his old friends.
"......Meow?"
Chapter 774: Sharing the Blessings 1
Atago's theory seems to make sense, and it is quite effective when implemented.
Commander Su, who had received the benefit of a cat's meow, believed it for the time being. She ran away before her face turned completely red, and trotted out of the Sakura Empire dormitory with her maid.
It was early in the morning and she hadn't even had her meal yet, but she had already started exercising. She had just been concentrating on digesting the "new knowledge" and now she realized that her stomach had been growling for a while.
"Master, if you're hungry, Dido has some cake here...Would you like to eat some first?"
Although she was not a big fan of sweets, it was good to fill her stomach, so Su Xin, whose appetite had grown, touched her stomach and nodded, saying "OK".
Then the maid held the cake in one hand and her collar in the other, pretending to smear the cream on strange places. The commander was so scared that he snatched it away. Then he looked around and criticized with lingering fear:
"Sister Dido, you really don't have to treat me like this... You've taken good care of me. What you've learned is useless. You've already been an indispensable part of my life. Really, really!"
The maid was stunned after hearing this, then turned from sadness to joy, and she handed over a fork in a coaxing manner. Seeing her master eating the cake with a sigh of relief, her heart was filled with joy.
"Master actually cares about Dido so much... wuwuwu... Dido, Dido must work harder!"
Su Xin thought the matter was resolved, so she finished her appetizer in a few bites, then tilted her head back and let Dido wipe her mouth. Only after she was sure that the other party had done her job and looked satisfied did she feel relieved.
"...That's not right. Why do I always feel like I'm the one taking care of others...?"
After calming down, the two people with different thoughts headed towards the cafeteria together, but they saw a certain iron-blooded submarine in the grass on the side of the road.
The young commander stopped and watched for a moment, then said, "Um... U-47? Are you here to catch up on some sleep?"
U-47, who had been looking at the insects with his head down, looked over in a daze, as if considering whether to answer. After a few moments of hesitation, he shook his head, "...No."
"That's... well, have you eaten yet? We're going to the cafeteria, do you want to join us?"
U-47 blinked, nodded, stood up, patted her butt, and lifted her leg to step over the green bushes and walked between the young commander and the maid, "Well, let's go."
Su Xin was happy about this, thinking that it was a rare opportunity for the lonely submariner to come and get close to her, so she immediately smiled and casually asked about his preferences.
"What do you like to eat? Do you like snacks? How about cakes and candies?"
"......bread."
"Bread? What about cookies? If you like, I can ask Sister Dunkirk to make some more, okay?"
U-47 shook her head. But whether she didn't like cookies or didn't need to make more of her own, Su Xin, who had basically no chat skills, really didn't understand.
She wanted to get along well with everyone. After all, the ship girls were very nice people. Since she couldn't make any breakthrough with the food, she could only try asking about other things.
"So what do you like to do? Reading? I always thought you would like to do puzzles."
U-47 tilted her head and glanced at the young commander. "Yeah, I prefer quiet things."
Okay, he just thinks she is noisy. Su Xin is not stupid. She shut up and planned to walk the whole way quietly. Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, U-47 took the initiative to talk to her.
"...What do you think of Sister Frederick?"
"Eh? You mean the Emperor's mother? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"...Mom? Why?"
"Ah... a nickname. She seems to like me calling her that. It was a bit awkward at first, but she seemed to get used to it after a while..." Su Xin touched her head embarrassedly because of the overly serious question.
U-47 obviously didn't care about the name, and continued: "Do you... like her very much?"
For a moment, Commander Su Xiao thought that something had gone wrong in her own port area, or that an irreconcilable conflict had occurred between the ship girls, which scared her.
Fortunately, the other party's next words dispelled her doubts, "...Then, can you spend more time with her?"
"Eh? You suddenly say that...what's wrong?"
"...Little Zeppelin runs very fast, I will always be found..." U-47 lowered his face into the mask, "...She is a little noisy..."
"Ah... you mean the Great Emperor's mother? No way... she should like you very much, she would feed you and tell you stories... did she read you stories?"
U-47 nodded, "...I'm used to watching it myself."
This is actually easy to solve. Su Xin suggested: "Then why don't you just tell her, 'I prefer to watch it by myself'?"
"...she would hug me, it was weird..."
This is true. Frederick the Great seems to like physical contact very much. Maybe in her opinion, this is a kind of parent-child interaction? Anyway, when Su Xin is with her, she is always wrapped in her arms.
It was really "wrapped up", not an exaggeration at all. Due to the huge difference in body proportions, when Su Xin sat on the emperor's lap, with his arms around her and her chest pressed down, she always felt like she was covered with a quilt.
She has to "shoulder the burden" even though she is 47 meters tall. With U-'s height, it would be even worse. It is very likely that she would be "under a lot of pressure", not to mention Frederick the Great's slightly aggressive gentleness.
I used to like quietness, so if I put myself in her shoes...Su Xin seems to understand U-47's feelings.
"Then, then you should run faster too?"
U-47 nodded, "...Just now, I was hiding."
"Ah... so why did you suddenly stop hiding?"
"...because you are here."
U-47 glanced at the dazed little commander with gratitude, feeling relieved for his outstanding contribution in attracting firepower. After all, in the emperor's mind, all those with petite figures were considered second-tier, and Su Xin was the only one.
"Ahahaha... somehow I feel a little unhappy..."
U-47 was quite happy anyway, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "...Is there a quiet place?"
"Well..." Su Xin rejected her own room, the bottom of the sea, and the public restroom where few people went, and came up with the answer, "The command room? Because no one has been there for a long time because of the weeds."
U-47 nodded. "...Thank you. Do you have any books?"
"Well... yes, but if you want to read it, remember to put it back in its place after reading it. Although Sister Beifa will tidy it up every day, try to avoid unnecessary work if possible."
"......Thanks."
The young commander, who had been taken advantage of to some extent, smiled and said no, then remained quiet all the way and finally led the two of them into the cafeteria.
Frederick the Great, who was sitting in a chair but seemed to be standing, had been waiting for a long time. He originally wanted to call U-47 over, but when he saw Su Xin was there, he immediately changed his target.
"Susu, my child, breakfast is your favorite. Come and eat with us?"
"Okay, Mama, the Great Emperor." The little commander naturally sat on the Great Emperor's lap, turned around and said coquettishly with evil intentions: "But what about U-47? I want to eat with her too~"
"Oh, of course, let's go together."
The submarine, which had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to retreat to the corner, suddenly froze and turned back to look at the commander who was swinging his fox tail. The little bit of gratitude that had just risen up in her heart was directly suppressed back into her heart.
"Good boy?"
“…Here it comes.”
Chapter 775: Sharing the Blessings 2
"Huh... I managed to escape today..."
He went out to eat early in the morning, packed up and went to the Chongying dormitory, woke up Ruyue and the others, fed them and sent them to school. Finally, little Zeppelin, who had some free time, sat in the office and breathed a sigh of relief.
Royal Ark, who had just finished greeting the children, wiped his saliva and came back from the door. Seeing the look of little Zeppelin, he couldn't help but ask
"You've been coming very early recently. Apart from me who came to open the door, you and Kisaragi are the most active. Could it be... that you came here so that I can see Kisaragi earlier?!"
"Dream on!" Little Zeppelin kicked his short legs, holding the naval gun that looked like a "big brother" and glared at the other party, "I have to get up early, what does it have to do with you!?"
Royal Ark also knew that it was impossible, but the other two destroyer teachers had not arrived yet, and she couldn't find anyone to talk to, so she had to start by saying something.
During this period, little Zeppelin would always come to the school to pick up Ruyue and Ju Gaogao, and then find a seat in the office to stay for a while. After a while, they became familiar with each other.
Well... one-sided familiarity should also be considered familiarity, right? Anyway, Royal Ark feels that it is quite familiar.
"So why did you come so early? It's impossible that you came here to see me. I have to make it clear in advance that I have no interest in anything other than destroyers!"
Royal Ark paused after he finished speaking, and added: "Little Angel Sister is a special case."
As soon as she finished speaking, a square eraser was thrown towards her. This slow speed was no problem for the ship girl. She caught it and put it back on the table.
Little Zeppelin curled his lips and glared at her, "Susu will soon be an adult, 18 years old, no matter how you think about it, she has nothing to do with a destroyer, right?!"
"You are too superficial!" Royal Ark was full of energy when he said this. "How can you use age to insult and expel your sister? Think about it, with a seniority like Saratoga, can you tell that she is a senior aircraft carrier?"
"Look at our little swan sister in the harbor, she is also amazing, so age is not important!"
Now the small Iron Blood aircraft carrier felt offended, and immediately raised its guns to aim at the Royal Ark. At a series of "calm down" calls from the other side, it turned its head away angrily.
"Anyway...anyway, she can't do it, so you'd better forget about it."
I thought the other party would at least refute a few words, but I didn't expect Royal Ark to be so calm, "Of course I know, I just want to protect you quietly, I definitely don't have any weird thoughts! Really!"
"...Humph, there is no best
"So why did you come so early? You haven't told me yet."
Little Zeppelin got a headache thinking about this. "The Madonna of Darkness is spreading her deep love. That love is like a dark flame, starting from the youngest person. Once she chooses you, you won't have a chance to escape all day long..."
Royal Ark thought for a moment and commented, "Sounds like a lolita complex."
"You are not qualified to say that!" Little Zeppelin groaned and jumped off the chair. "It's almost time. Why haven't Z23 and Javelin arrived yet?"
As soon as the voice fell, the energetic voice of Javelin came from the door, "Come on, come on, come on!"
The girl with long lilac-colored hair tied in a ponytail as usual ran in with her iron-blooded friend, panting with a slightly red face, and then greeted them.
"Good morning, Mr. Royal Ark, little Zeppelin, why are you here so early again today?"
