"You are really strong."
"Hello!!!"
Little Cheshire looked at the scene of women fighting not far away, then looked at the crosstalk performance next to him, and after a moment's silence he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hehe... It's really lively here, sister... I like it!"
ps: Note 1: Akagi's prototype is probably the red fox, and the fur color is quite similar
Note 2. In the previous chapter, a little cutie asked, "What's the meaning of the 200 yuan joke?" In fact, it was originally said by the driver to the drunk passenger: "Vomiting yuan on the bus." I forgot where I got this idea from, but maybe I heard my roommate mention it before. Baidu said Douyin, so it should be correct.
Chapter 818 Inevitable
"Too slow!"
"Sorry, something delayed me." Su Xin led Little Cheshire into the house, and the maid locked the door behind them. "It would be strange if you didn't notice the noise, right?"
The Purifier, whose panda eyes had healed, said, "I've been hungry for a long time. The fried chicken must be cold, right?"
"...Why don't you change into something else while still wearing this shirt with footprints on it, just so you can eat fried chicken with peace of mind...?"
"Hmph, even if I didn't get kicked, I would still be justified in eating, right?" The Purifier paused in the middle of his speech, then glared, "Wow! You ate it secretly, didn't you!"
Little Cheshire shrank behind Su Xin, secretly burped something that smelled like fried chicken, thought for a moment, and then sucked his fingers twice.
What else is there to say? The Purifier was so furious that he almost slammed the table and accused the commander of being heartless. However, after hearing who took the fried chicken, he immediately backed off.
"It was the observer who said to eat it."
"Uh... Well, I am a magnanimous person. I won't argue with her during this special period."
"...You are really good at changing your attitude according to the situation." Su Xin said unhappily, then sat down opposite the Purifier. "As for the reason, I roughly heard it from the Observer."
"Huh? La Li comes to see me again? Oh~ Li has me in his heart!" The Purifier, who was holding a chicken leg bone in his mouth, clapped his knees and laughed, "Hahaha" for a long time before he started coughing after being choked.
Su Xin couldn't bear to watch, so she poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Eat slowly... Why are you guys starving like crazy lately? Aren't the three meals provided as usual in the port area?"
"Gulp gulp... Huh - eh? You? Who else?"
The young commander glanced at Cheshire, who was looking away with his mouth torn but unable to make a sound, and took a piece of paper to wipe the saliva off the other's hand.
"Be good, pay attention to hygiene, wash your hands before eating, and don't lick your hands after eating, understand?"
"Yeah! I'll be very good!"
"That's your sister Sheffield, right? How about chatting with her and letting her be your first friend?"
"?Okay~"
In the face of children other than Su Xin, the maid Sheffield was extremely patient and kind. She fed the children with cakes left over from the tea party.
The commander also had some breathing space. He glanced at the purifier with oil dripping from his mouth and said, "Image image, aren't you going to have dinner?"
"Well, you don't understand. Eating junk food is a very happy thing, especially for people like us who don't get fat. As for dinner, of course we eat it. These won't fill us up."
"Okay, by the way, have you seen Enterprise recently? I haven't seen her come to eat in the past two days."
"Hmm... Although they [Ember] always like to interfere with the experimental field, they are pioneers in resisting [Space Interference]. They are probably busy fighting monsters?"
"What about you? Aren't you anxious? I see the Observer is quite upset about this."
The Purifier was used to slacking off, and would not move unless someone whipped him. He said leisurely, "I am just a member of the [Experimental Agency]. I am responsible for controlling the experimental field, not for fighting."
She threw the clean leg bone into the trash can. "And now, I don't even have to do the task of [Control the Experimental Field]. My first priority is to have a good relationship with you. This is what the Dream Weaver meant."
Su Xin was happy and said sarcastically, "I didn't see you come to see me. Aren't you playing games at home all day?"
"Hey, what do you know? This is the marriage leave I approved for you." The Purifier took credit for it confidently, "Who knew you liked to reply so much? You should just pretend you didn't receive it."
"Well...what if they come over if I don't reply?"
"Just kick you out. Don't you have me backing you up? It doesn't matter if you're a little bad. The authorities won't dare to do anything to you. You have to believe in the power of the Purifier!"
"Yes, yes, yes... Is there anything I can help you with?" The little commander who had taken advantage wanted to return the favor. "It seems that I haven't had a serious chat with you since you came to the port."
The Purifier rolled her eyes and waved to Su Xin. When she came over to sit, she immediately lay down and put her feet on the soft thigh meat.
"Well...how about you massage my feet?"
"...Are you sure? I haven't learned anything about this. It might hurt."
"Hey, I'm the great Purifier, how could I be pinched by a tiny human! Where's your grip strength?!"
Su Xin smiled, stopped playing pranks, and gently pinched Siren's calf.
The Purifier heaved a sigh of relief, lying on the sofa and watching the maid feeding the little Cheshire not far away, "Ah... a long time ago, my life was so ordinary..."
"Hmm? Do you want to tell me about your past?"
"Well~ I don't want to." The Purifier sighed comfortably, not missing the past, "[Helena] has you, and the Observer has known you for a long time, but I am different."
She lay on her back on the sofa, raised her arm and looked at the back of her hand. "The Siren was originally created to restrict the ship girls, and then she was busy trying to save them. These... there is nothing to remember."
...I see." The little conductor was silent, and his hands moved more gently.
But the Purifier didn't buy it at all, and immediately moved his foot to touch Su Xin's belly, "Didn't you eat? Harder! How can I massage like you? Wow!!"
"...Are you still naughty?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong..."
The useless Siren Ship begged for mercy, then stretched lazily, "Besides, you have the ability to travel through time and space, why don't you try harder? Maybe I won't be bored all these years."
Su Xin actually glanced at the [Files] interface, but there was no option for the Siren ship. After exiting, she shook her head and said, "Well... I can't do it for now."
"Like this? What a pity, but it's okay. Although it's been boring for so many years, at least it's safe... But when you met her just now, did she scold you? Don't be mad at her, okay? She's had a hard time."
"...No, I just helped fix the door and asked her if she needed help, but she said I couldn't help."
The Purifier thought about it, nodded and said, "Indeed, she will come to you if she needs anything. During this period... it just costs a little money, but there shouldn't be any other problems."
Su Xin responded to show that she had heard it, and then glanced at the research ship who was looking up at her little face and letting the maid wipe her mouth, "...You won't send her back, will you?"
"No, little Zeppelin is already here, so she won't make a difference. If you want to keep her, go ahead."
"What about Hao and the others? What do you think?"
The Purifier curled her lips, "That's normal. The status of ship girls is still not taken seriously. Humans take it for granted that they put themselves in the position of leaders. This is not what I want to see."
She smiled and continued, "After all... I don't really intend to raise them as my own sons and daughters. I am so tolerant because of the ship girls..."
"So you agree with what they do?" the young commander asked casually.
"I can't say I agree with them, I can only say I won't interfere. Even if they fail, there will always be another group of ship girls with the same idea to do these things. This is inevitable, do you understand?"
"...What about the process?"
"Process? Since there is a conflict of ideas, casualties are inevitable, right?" The Purifier glanced at the silent commander and smiled, "Why? Are you heartbroken? Why don't you help them?"
Su Xin pursed her lips, "I..."
"You have to know that shipgirls will only follow those they approve of from the bottom of their hearts, but what about now? Those who stick to their original intentions have become wandering shipgirls. How many of those who join the port area are sincere, and how many are just making do?"
The Purifier smiled. "Think about it. Commander Kisaragi, Commander Helena, Commander Amagi... Don't you think that following you would be a better choice than choosing them?"
"Even if they succeed, they still need a true leader to balance the relationship with humans. This person needs to be smart, understand the evil of human nature, and care about the ship girls..."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Xin remained silent, as if she couldn't hear anything. She kneaded the leg flesh in her hands and stared blankly at the yawning little Cheshire.
The Purifier did not intend to urge her, because she knew that with Su Xin's personality, the future she talked about would be inevitable. As for now...
"Well, my legs are weak from your squeezing. How about you carry me to the cafeteria for dinner today?"
"...Okay, but you have to take care of Akagi-sister and Taihou-sister."
"Hey, hey, you can hear me."
"........."
"Okay, just follow your idea. I won't force you... Oh, by the way, can you learn some habits of mollusks and the physiological structure of the human body in the next two days?"
Su Xin was stunned. "Of course I can, but...what do you want to do?"
"Well... the Observer has been holding back for so many days, it's almost time, you have to go and help then." The Purifier nodded at the helpless little commander and said firmly:
"Yes, it has to be you."
Chapter 819: Three, Three, and Four
Little Cheshire had just arrived, and even with Sheffield, whom he had just met, he could only call out the names of five people. It would not be appropriate for him to go to any dormitory of any camp.
Moreover, suddenly bringing a strange child over and asking the ship girls to help take care of it is obviously irresponsible to both parties.
After much consideration, Su Xin decided to keep Cheshire by her side first, and after he got familiar with everyone, he could live wherever he wanted.
As for Rafi, who lives with me...
Rather than letting Cheshire, who is full of anxiety, sleep alone, it is better to send back the Destroyer, who is mature and even likes to kiss and hug every night, causing him to neglect his homework and sleep during the day.
Faced with such a ruthless and heartless decision from the little commander, White Rabbit, who had just moved in a few days ago, naturally refused to agree and immediately lay on the bed pretending to be dead.
Su Xin glanced helplessly at the big bed, "Then don't squeeze over here at night, okay? The weather has started to get hot recently, and your body temperatures are high. It will be very uncomfortable if you sweat..."
Rafi: “Okay…”
Cheshire: "I know, I'm afraid of heat too!"
Su Xin sighed, washed up, climbed onto the bed and slept in the middle. Lafei lay on the left as usual, and the new little cat girl came to the right. There was half a fist distance between the three of them.
Someone was present so he didn't get yelled at by the little commander and closed his eyes, "Well...good night then."
"Good night... Commander..."
"Good night, sister!"
"Oh... I knew it..."
Su Xin, who was sweating all over, began to sigh before she even opened her eyes. The high fever that was unique to children last night almost suffocated her.
If she is already a ship girl, it would be easy to deal with. Just turn on the air conditioner and set the temperature to 16 degrees. She doesn't have to worry about getting sick even if she doesn't cover herself with a blanket.
But unfortunately, as a human being, Su Xin still gets colds and fevers. She can't be so casual and has to keep warm at all times.
The physique of people with a cool body in all seasons is especially popular in summer. It is understandable that she is being tightly held by the two little ones, but it is uncomfortable for her to be an ice pack.
"...I can understand how it felt when Rafi was slept in my arms. It must have been very cold, right...?"
(Lafite: No, I even hope for more.)
Su Xin was so moved that she was forced to get up early. She needed a shower urgently and took some time to escape from the shackles. After landing, she turned around and helped the two little ones to press down the corners of the quilt.
Rafi was sleeping soundly as usual, and could hardly wake up unless a torpedo hit her head.
Little Cheshire, on the other hand, looked very fragile with her slightly red eyes. She was probably afraid of causing trouble to others, so she acted very energetic during the day, but secretly wiped away her tears in the middle of the night without making any sound.
This shocked Su Xin somewhat. She thought the other party was really willing to follow her, after all, he agreed so quickly.
But in fact, little Cheshire is obviously closer to Hao, who originally brought her with him, but the situation does not allow her to be willful.
"...You are too sensible." Su Xin looked down at Cheshire for a long time and made up her mind, "Children...it's okay to not be so sensible. I hope Minato can make you happy..."
"...Have you seen enough?"
The sudden cold voice in the room startled the little commander. She quickly turned her head to look at the corner, where a neatly dressed maid was looking at her with disdain.
"Master, you are so happy to sleep in the arms of a child all night. Even after getting up, do you still miss that feeling?"
"...Sister Sheffield, I'm just in a daze."
The maid pretended not to hear and took out a bath towel and today's clothes. "Please go in and wash up quickly, otherwise the air purification system will have to run longer."
Su Xin responded, walked forward to take the simple short-sleeved shorts, and rubbed against Sheffield's expressionless face, then ran to the bathroom.
"Hehe...you said I stink? You'll stink to death!"
"click"
The silent maid glanced at the two little ones sleeping on the bed. After making sure that there were no signs of waking up, she raised her hand, pinched the clothes and sniffed them.
…very tasty.
As a human being, the source of Su Xin's peach scent has always been a mystery, just like her extremely creative cooking skills, which are puzzling.
