"Oh, that's right. After all, you should have seen the expressions on everyone's faces when they eat royal food. It's about the same."
"Hey! Stop talking about fish head pie all the time. Besides...it's actually pretty delicious."
"???"
Chapter 844 Hair Loss Season 1
After her morning run, Su Xin ate something simple and prepared to go to work.
Since the "communication frenzy" of the previous period has passed, the amount of mail piled up in mailboxes every day has been reduced by more than half. The remaining mail can be sorted and approved according to regulations, which is much easier.
After all, there are corresponding standards for land planning around the port area. Projects such as opening of businesses or construction facilities need to meet the requirements before they can be approved.
For example, commercial and residential facilities are not allowed to be built within a radius of a certain number of meters from the port area, or there are strict requirements on building heights. No matter what the application is written in, it will be handled according to the system.
This is much simpler than dealing with social conventions. After all, with Su Xin's photographic memory, she can approve a standard document without blinking after reading it once.
"Well... this is faster than a reply." The commander sighed as he stamped the application document with the "Reject" stamp again.
Tiancheng chuckled, "That's for you. Generally speaking, people who can achieve your current work efficiency are basically over 40 years old."
"Hmm? Why?
"Practice makes perfect. You have to be familiar with it before you can improve your efficiency. Most people your age have to look through documents. For them, replying to letters may be easier."
Su Xin took the hot water that Dido handed over and took a sip, "Well... maybe, but I actually think that having a good memory is not entirely a good thing."
Tiancheng glanced at the few remaining documents and asked, "Why do you think so?
"Some unimportant things can indeed be forgotten, but my memory is too good to forget them. I can even remember the details clearly. I only need to spend some time to recall them and I can remember them all. Uh... too many junk files?"
"Hmm... Although it's a very accurate description, unfortunately, I still can't quite relate to it."
Su Xin frowned, "Just like I can still remember the feeling of the hot diaper sticking to my body when I wet my pants as a child..."
"...a little too detailed."
The little conductor was so amused that he simply jumped off his chair and moved closer, "But you... uh, wait a minute, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Tiancheng curled his eyes, stretched out and curled his soft tail to bring the person back, "Hmm? You also learned to tease me? Tell me clearly, which one was it?"
"I, I still have to work, please stop making trouble, sister."
"Alas... you shrink back when you are touched. The word ostrich is used to describe people like you."
Su Xin was in danger and had no time to refute. She grunted as she pulled herself out of the pile of tails, then staggered back to her seat and sat firmly.
Blushing, Dido hurried forward to help her master pick off the hair on her body, picking up a small handful of it.
The little commander glanced at the chestnut-colored tail hair and frowned slightly, "Hmm? A lot of it fell off... Is it okay?"
"Well, it's normal for hair to fall out when the weather gets hot. Although it's more convenient to tuck the ears and tails away, it will feel stuffy after a long time, which will affect your mood, so I still take care of it on a regular basis."
"Will Akagi-sister and Atago-sister be like this?"
"Yeah." Tiancheng paused and looked over with a smile, "What's wrong? Have you come up with any tricks?"
"Hey hey hey...it's a secret!"
"This is really troublesome. If it weren't for the fact that the commander likes you..."
Akagi gnashed his teeth, staring at the thing he was holding down with a look of resentment, dissatisfaction, grief and helplessness.
She took several deep breaths, but in the end she still couldn't resist the rage in her heart. She gradually increased the strength in her hands, slowly tightening them again and again until she had a firm grip, leaving no room for escape.
"Tsk, it takes so much trouble to comb your hair. It's so annoying!"
The fox's tail shook as if it had its own consciousness, and its fluffy and fine hair separated into many tiny individuals like dandelions, falling on the sofa, carpet, and even into clothes.
"Ouch! Don't drop it again!"
Akagi was so annoyed that she pulled the tip of the tail and got some [lost fox hair]*N, which she then threw into the trash can.
Looking at the house covered with hair everywhere, she felt uncomfortable everywhere. She felt suffocated when she retracted her tail, but felt annoyed when she let it out. Moreover, the tail mostly followed the owner's mood, and the slightest movement would cause the hair to fly all over the place.
I don't know why my sister Tiancheng's hair loss is normal, but mine is so crazy, like a programmer in his early twenties, I can collect a ball of yarn every day
The difference between the two is so big that it can be felt physically, which makes Akagi very anxious. If the tail hair really falls off, the commander who loves fur will definitely dislike it.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the source of the problem. Refreshing the status was only a temporary solution and might even start a new round of "Dandelion Freedom Journey."
Especially today, the carpet that had just been dried in the sun was swept by the tail and was immediately covered with reddish-brown color and static electricity. It was extremely torturous to clean up, which caused her to lose control of her emotions when she heard the knock on the door.
"knocking"
"Are you looking for death, bastard?!"
"Uh... Sister Akagi, are you... okay?"
"Commander?!"
Akagi was startled and hurriedly stood up to open the door, but was frozen in place by the tragic scene in the room.
After hesitating for a while, she tucked her ears and tail away, and drew the curtains to make the room dim, then stepped forward and said, "Commander, why are you here?"
Su Xin was about to speak with a worried look on her face, but when she saw the extremely dim light in the room, she suddenly felt that she had come at a bad time.
"Were you...sleeping just now?"
"Hmm? Ah, yes." Akagi responded, "But I thought it was Shokaku who was harassing me again, not scolding the commander, okay?"
"So... then I can turn on the light
"no!!"
Su Xin was stunned. Looking at Chi Cheng with a vague expression, she felt something was wrong. "Are you... okay?"
"No, it's okay. I just woke up, so I'm not used to the bright light..." After saying that, Akagi realized it belatedly and widened his eyes. "Wait, the commander came to see me specifically?"
"Yeah, there's something I want you to help me with."
"Looking for me... Oh... I see. Who made you unhappy? Tell me, and I will solve the problem perfectly for you... Who is it? Who is who is who?"
"Ah... no, that's not the case. Don't be so extreme all the time. I came to you to ask, are you...losing hair?"
Akagi was alert and subconsciously touched his butt. His tail was well hidden, so it shouldn't be exposed. Could it be that Shokaku ran to the high-speed commander?
“Yes, but only a little.”
"Ah, is that so? That might not be enough..."
"Not enough? What is the commander going to do?"
"Oh, I think it's a waste to just throw your fur away. I want to collect it and see if I can poke a few dolls out of it."
Akagi was stunned, "...Really? So more is better?"
"Well, in a sense, that's true."
"...anything for me?"
"Well, of course, I originally planned to poke two foxes, one for you and one for Sister Amagi."
The hair loss patient was delighted, and immediately turned on the main light switch, waiting for compliments, "Hehehe...you can have as much as you want, as long as the commander asks, Akagi will give it all to you!"
Su Xin looked at the hair all over the room and froze in her tracks. "...Are you sick?"
"Commander, are you concerned about me?! I...I don't know what's wrong with me lately. My sister isn't as serious as mine."
"In addition to seasonal factors, excluding the possibility of illness... I heard that dogs eating too much salt can also cause hair loss. Have you been drinking sea water recently?"
The fox, who had been harassed and fed handmade sea salt cookies recently, realized it later, called out his tail, plucked some fur and stuffed it into the little commander, then rushed straight to the room of a junior.
"Shokaku!!!!"
Su Xin, who was left standing, blinked and looked at the fur in her arms. "...It's even enough for me to figure out the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. This is the reincarnation of the Salt Prince..."
Chapter 845 Hair Loss Season 2
Poking dolls requires more than one color, so it is better to use natural ones than to touch up with paint after poking.
In addition to the Amagi sisters, those with larger tails, which are convenient for collecting fallen hair, include Ai Daigou, Yubari Sensei, and Nagato Leader.
As for Yubari... Su Xiao doesn't need to spend much time giving instructions. As long as he takes out the comb, the other party will habitually put its tail in his arms and wait for service.
After all, during the school term of [Calling Tide], supervising the teacher to take a nap and combing the tail after the seminar has become a must-do for both parties.
According to Yubari's usual reversed schedule, noon should be the best time for her to catch up on sleep after staying up all night.
It's just past ten o'clock now. Su Xin plans to wait until after lunch before going. She can also deliver a meal to the other party on the way to prevent him from falling asleep on an empty stomach and affecting his sleep quality.
Unlike Yubari, who lived and ate in a small research institute, the other two service recipients were all members of the Sakura Empire. Su Xin, who had just finished picking up Akagi, only needed to walk a few steps to knock on the door and visit.
The question of “who to pick first” is a bit difficult.
Nagato is quite reserved most of the time and is shy at heart, so it might take some time to persuade him to agree. As for Atago...
To be honest, whether you can get out after entering is still a question.
Su Xin thought about it and finally decided to go find Nagato first. After all, the longer time she spent on him, the less time she had left for Atago. Even if she couldn't hold on, she could use lunch as an excuse to slip away.
After making up her mind, Su Xin walked past Shokaku's room where the sound of fighting came from, comforted Ibuki who was unable to practice singing because of the noise, and finally knocked on the room of the Sakura Empire leader.
"knocking"
"......Enter."
The young commander opened the wooden door and saw the little fox kneeling behind the coffee table facing him. Then his eyes fixed on a certain point.
"...
"You, you came without any warning, what do you want from me?"
"Well... I'm a little busy and would like to ask you for help, but before that..." The little commander took out a handkerchief and came closer, "Didn't you clean up the snacks you stole?"
“Hmm?!”
"Although Sister Yixian and Sister Beifa are both very good at it, I am not very good at making tea, so I can only drink it as it is."
"Well, it's okay." Nagato took a sip of tea with a slightly red cheek. "You should have told me in advance."
Su Xin looked at the other person for a while, then took out a plate of snacks, "I came here suddenly, so I only brought these foods. Sister Dunkirk made them yesterday. Would you like to try some?"
Nagato's golden eyes opened, then quickly returned to normal, "...It's rare that you have such a thought, thank you, thank you."
Seeing the instant joy revealed by the other party, the little commander suddenly had some doubts. Could it be that this well-behaved fox had suffered some kind of injustice at home?
Let's put aside the matter of pulling the tail for now. The primary goal is to ensure that everyone is comfortable. The little commander who has regained his freedom from work immediately frowned and said with concern.
"Hmm... Is it because the supply of dessert after dinner is not enough? But I heard Ning Hai say that there are always leftovers... Is it not to your liking?"
"No, no, they are all delicious, but, but..." Nagato pursed his lips and paused for a while, then explained in a low voice with a frustrated look, "It seems childish to eat with destroyers, and it is not stable to wait for dessert..."
"So...you haven't eaten in this period of time?"
"...Um."
"So... do you want to eat?"
Nagato pursed his lips and blushed for a moment, "...Yeah."
Su Xin raised her hand to help the other person fill the cup, thought for a moment and suggested: "Then I'll ask Sister Beifa to help and bring some to you every day?"
"Is this really okay...?"
"It's okay. Um... just ask the leader of the Sakura Empire to taste it so that we can adjust the types of desserts we will provide the next day."
Nagato, who was not very open due to his status, was deeply moved when he heard this. He twitched his ears and then raised a smile that was appropriate for his age. "Thank you for your kindness. I accept it. So... is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, nothing. Sister Tiancheng said that everyone is shedding their fur recently. I think it's a pity to throw them away, so I want to collect them and make them into dolls. It's like... I'm itching to do something, right?"
Nagato's smile froze. After all, having one's tail pulled was quite painful, but the other party had just promised to send her something delicious. After hesitating for a moment, she closed her eyes and nodded helplessly.
"...But please...be gentle."
"Eh? Ah, I'm just combing the hair. I wouldn't pluck them out on purpose."
Realizing that he had misunderstood, Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and sat next to the commander, summoned out his nine tails, and placed the one closest to him in his arms.
Su Xin used the comb to comb the hair gently, with a slow rhythm and appropriate force. It was obvious that she had unique insights into stroking the tail.
From the part close to the root all the way to the tip of the tail, the comfortable feeling made Nagato relax unconsciously. He shook his ears, glanced at Su Xin who looked serious, and then looked at the invisible existence in the air.
"She's...recovering well."
