"Sister Hood, you know me well. I only care about how big the cake is at the banquet. If we tell anyone, we will definitely keep everything simple!"
Kewei: "Sister Hu De, you know me well. Although I am always stuck in my room, it's all to organize the photos! Besides, I'm not that familiar with Changdao."
Javelin: "Sister Hood, you know me well. Whenever I have time, I will go to Nimi-chan. She doesn't like to listen to gossip, so I won't be the one to spread it!"
Neptune: "Um... don't look at me, I didn't come to the last tea party, I have an alibi!"
War-weary: "...Why, I, I'm not the kind of person who gossips! Rather, with my personality, basically no one would ask me about gossip, right?"
Sheffield: "Keeping secrets is one of the principles that maids adhere to. I don't think any of us three should be the subject of suspicion."
Edinburgh: "That's right! The three of us...eh? Wait, Sister Hood, you know me. I only care about the amount of money in the vault. If there is any intersection with Long Island, then I should go to her to ask for the address of the gold mine!"
Perseus: "...I am not a morning glory."
Coo: "Coo, coo, coo!"
Hood felt it was difficult. Firefly and Monarch were absent from the tea party regularly, and it was not them who leaked it. So the choice of suspect was...
Fortunately, the clever Perseus caught the blind spot, "...Cuckoo, what did you mean by 'we birds'?"
Gugu: Z(°A)?!
"You didn't tell the eagle about this, did you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at Gugu with a different look. My goodness, it turns out that the traitor in the Royal Camp is not even a person?
"Oh... So when Enterprise was sharing with someone, Nagashima heard it?" The little commander pounded his fist on his palm and gave his conclusion, "Gugu, I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually a traitor of White Eagle!"
Fat Chicken: "Gugugugu?! (You slander me?!)"
Perseus (No Mercy): "It said, hit me."
Gugu (horrified): "Gugugugugugugu!! (That's obviously not what I meant!)"
Chapter 786 Preparations before Birthday (4
After some laughter, Su Xin finally got back to the topic from which she had completely let herself go.
"So don't worry so much, just ask Ning Hai and Ping Hai to make some delicious food, um... or maybe add a cake?"
Hood disagreed. "Susu, if it was last year, we would have agreed to your request, but this year is special. We want to leave you an unforgettable memory."
"Well...but I have a good memory." The little commander counted on his fingers, "I still remember that you used to beat me when your waist hurt, your password was your birthday, and Changdao was scolded by you every day, and--"
"stop!"
Hood raised his hand to signal the little commander to shut up, then turned to look at Guanghui who was listening with great interest, "You should try to persuade her. I'm afraid I can't win the argument with her."
"Really... Have I said enough..." Guanghui shook his head and sighed, then said softly after choosing his words a little: "Susu, this year is different. This year is a turning point."
"...What turning point? It can't be a zodiac sign or something, right? Uh... Mercury retrograde? Is that what it's called?" Su Xin shrank her neck, obviously not believing it.
Guanghui knew this, so he shook his head and said, "This is a turning point for everyone in our port area."
When he heard that it was everyone's business, the young commander sat up straight and listened attentively, "Hmm... I don't quite understand."
"Think about it, when you turn 18, it means you have become an adult. This is a hurdle. Once you get over it, people's attitudes towards you will change accordingly."
Guanghui raised his hand and touched Su Xin's head. "You must not only truly shoulder the responsibility of a commander, but also become someone everyone can rely on."
"I know, but...what does this have to do with the birthday party?"
"Yes, the more grand the event is, the more impressive it will be to everyone, and the more they will recognize you and realize that you have grown up."
"Oh... So that's how it is..." Su Xin added with a solemn expression as Guanghui's look became more and more holy, "I have to say, it's a bit far-fetched."
Glory: QA Q…
The maid who had been standing there for a long time couldn't bear it any longer and immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Master, you may be overthinking it. The banquet was held grandly just because we wanted to have fun. It has nothing to do with you. We are just borrowing your name. Please don't be narcissistic."
The little swan who was listening was dumbfounded. She had never seen anyone talk to their commander like this. This speech sounded like it would be a punishment.
But surprisingly, the other party actually listened to it.
Seeing the little commander nodding in acknowledgment and even beginning to reflect on himself, the little swan was stunned for a moment, then turned to cast an admiring look at the expressionless maid.
Wow, this is the real god hidden in the port area. She needs to learn more. Next time she wants to eat and drink for free, she will ask this guy for help!
"We didn't eat the cake because you made it. We just suddenly wanted to eat it and happened to see you serving it. That's all. Don't be so narcissistic!"
The little swan bit his fork and began to daydream, imagining the scene of everyone bringing cakes and snacks to his table, and his heart was filled with beauty.
Neptune glanced at the greedy destroyer and thought the smile looked familiar. He turned to look at the Royal Ark which was also smiling “Hehehe”.
"...Oh, so we've come to the same conclusion, huh?"
"Okay, as for you, just wait for your birthday happily. We will take care of the rest." Guanghui fed a piece of cake to the little commander and winked at Kewei on the other side.
"Or go out for a walk to distract yourself?"
Kewei just had this thought, and immediately pulled Su Xin's arm gently, "Well, Commander, could you please accompany me to buy clothes? You just promised me..."
He was pinching her waist inside just now, but became polite outside. Su Xin was really impressed by his two-faced personality.
But I have to say that I did invite them to do morning exercises. Considering the royal family's usual dressing style, I might really need her help in choosing sportswear.
"Well... shall we go out first?"
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, you don't have to come back so early...ah, Kewei, you...be more ladylike, understand?" Guanghui was obviously a little worried about his own sister who "secretly took" a box of photos.
Kewei knew that the other party was talking about the time when Mingmiao mixed up her and Dafeng's things when they just moved, but she really couldn't explain it, so she just gritted her teeth and admitted it.
"I see!"
Su Xin found it funny, so she held her expression tight and left with Kewei. Only after she walked out of the manor gate did she laugh out loud.
There was no one around, so I could let out my terrible temper. I immediately raised my hand to cover my face, "Don't laugh! You don't know how embarrassed I was at that time!"
"Hahahaha, who told you to buy so many rock peripherals? You even dared to ask Ming Miao for help. It would be strange if nothing went wrong."
"Well, what can I do? I can't move it all at once. If I move it in several batches, it will be too obvious to lock the door. If I don't lock the door, my sister will find it as soon as she goes in!"
"Come to Donghuang Dormitory and call us. Ninghai, Pinghai, me and Sister Yixian can all help you."
Kewei didn't think so much at that time. Besides, everyone was moving, and she was embarrassed to go to the commander for help because of such a small matter.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Su Xin thought that she had said something wrong. After thinking for a while, she tried to make amends, "Well... I mean, you don't have to be afraid of bothering everyone. If it's really hard to ask, you can come to me."
"I'm the commander, it's my duty to help you solve your problems, don't be reluctant to use me, I have great strength and capacity, where else can you find such a convenient commander?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Kewei's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, and he raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Su Xin, "Didn't I come to you now? Starting tomorrow, if I don't lose weight, I will settle the score with you!"
"...Then you should eat less cake. There is too much sugar in it."
"I won't get fat, so what's wrong with eating cake? Besides, black tea and cake are a perfect match, okay..."
Su Xin really couldn't understand Kewei's thoughts. She thought Kewei was lying when he said she was not heavy, and when she asked her to eat less, she started to believe in the theory of "KanColle Constancy".
"Don't be silent." In front of Su Xin, Ke Wei said more words than expected, "When you pick out sportswear later, can you choose something with lace edges?"
"…Whose sportswear has lace edges? It's not a skirt, the fabric and style are very simple."
"Hmm... after you buy it, can you help me modify it? It will look nice with lace, Commander, please help me - ahem, hello, Mr. Manchu."
Su Xin watched Manchu walk away while sweeping the floor, and quietly complained, "Sister Kewei, you've changed too quickly..."
"Humph~ What do you know? This is what a woman is like."
The little commander looked down at his slightly curved chest.
"...What about me?"
Chapter 787 Preparations before Birthday (5
Hood took the last sip of the tea in his cup and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Susu is out, so we should clean up and discuss the details of the birthday party. First of all... who do you think should come?"
Guanghui thought for a moment and replied softly, "We must invite the parents, but... I haven't met Susu's parents yet. Do we have their contact information?"
"Last year, Tiancheng, Yixian and Lafei went there, right? We can ask them, they should have their phone numbers or something." Hood thought for a moment, "Xie Fei, can I ask you for a favor?"
Sheffield bowed slightly, "Of course, please wait a moment."
Watching the maid slowly leave the manor, Little Swan turned around and asked Neptune softly, "...Don't you have a cell phone? Why did you make a special trip...?"
"You don't understand." Neptune obviously understood more thoroughly, "We, the Royal Fleet Girls, value the process rather than the result."
"......ah?"
"Hehe...Give me the rest of the cake and I'll tell you."
"I, this... okay..."
Hood saw Neptune taking the cake from Little Swan with his eyes bent. The two of them were talking about something, so he immediately called out, "Neptune? Any candidates?"
"Eh? Ah... Commander's friend... or something like that?"
Royal Ark immediately raised his hand and said, "I have the WeChat accounts of Sister Shigure and Sister Yudachi! I have also saved Sister Becky's contact information!"
Hood recalled for a moment, "Hmm... It's Miss Fang Yan and Miss Wu Mu's ship girl, right? Although her motives are not pure, she is still useful. You can ask her."
"okay!"
Royal Ark's face flushed with excitement. She held her phone and typed quickly. It seemed that she had edited a long paragraph. However, when she clicked send, the eye-catching exclamation mark hurt her fragile heart.
“Being, being deleted?!”
"What? You haven't harassed anyone before, have you? Who did you send the message to?"
"Sister Yudachi, she's the easiest to deceive - er, I mean, she, she's the easiest to talk to!" Royal Ark broke out in a cold sweat, "I'll try Sister Shigure again..."
Hood stared at the Royal Ark in silence until the other party changed from sadness to joy and cheered for successfully sending the message. Only then did he suppress the idea of settling accounts on the spot and prepared to execute it later.
Royal Ark: [Dear sister Shi Yu, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time. I wonder how you are doing recently. If possible, please reply to my message. I have something important to discuss with you.]
Shi Yu: [Don’t even think about adding my sister back on WeChat!]
Royal Ark: [?!]
Royal Ark: [How do you know that I was blacklisted by her? Could it be that...?!]
Shigure: [Even if you want to bully my sister, I have to do it. You are too insecure. If you have something to say, just say it now. Don't think about anything else!]
Royal Ark felt aggrieved. She had never thought of talking to Jia Xili. She just planned to keep this contact information as a treasure. It would be even better if she could see the circle of friends shared by the other party.
Now she was misunderstood as a bad person, which was really unfair to her, but business was more important. If she didn't ask the question quickly, and was blocked later, she would be killed by Hood without being able to make amends!
Royal Ark: [It’s like this, in a week it will be the birthday of the little angel sister. Because of her special age, I specially invite you to attend the birthday dinner. Please be sure to come!!!]
Shigure: [Hmm… I know about this. Ayan told us before. We all want to go, but Ayan has an exam and I have to tutor Yudachi. I can’t spare the time. Sorry.]
Royal Ark: [How could this happen... What a pity...]
Royal Ark: [Is there anything I can do for you? Tutoring, companionship, chatting, as long as it can make you happy, sister Shi Yu, I will go through fire and water, without hesitation!]
Royal Ark: [Sister Shigure?]
Royal Ark: [It’s totally OK to share myself as a tree hole, right?]
Royal Ark: [Sister Shigure?]
[Shi Yu has enabled friend verification, and you are not his (her) friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first. You can chat only after the other party passes the verification. ]
"No——!!!" Royal Ark covered his face and cried out in grief, why did history repeat itself so much, "I have lost my love forever, everything around me is ruined, it hurts, it hurts too much..."
Hood couldn't hold back and threw a spoon at him, "Be quiet! You're the one who gave me the most headaches. How did it turn out?"
"Sister Shigure said they have exams and don't have time to come... wuwuwu... Why is it always me who gets hurt... I can't even be a screen-peeping guardian, it's too difficult wuwuwu..."
Little Swan looked at the aircraft carrier immersed in sadness and felt a little sympathy. He took back his cake while Neptune was not paying attention, thought about it, and stood up to pass it to him.
"Sister Royal Ark, although I, I don't understand what's wrong with you, but, but eating something sweet might make you happier...?"
The frequent visitor to the gendarmerie was deeply moved and immediately looked up in disbelief and asked: "Is this for me?!"
"If you don't mind me and Neptune eating a few bites... you can actually cut off that small part, and you can eat most of it..."
"What?! That's such a waste!" Royal Ark picked up the spoon Hood threw at him with a righteous look, wiped it on his clothes, thought for a moment and asked: "...Which part is eaten by Neptune?"
Little Swan didn't understand what he meant, but still raised his hand and pointed to the edge, "Hmm... seems to be this one?"
