"..milky mango flavor?"
"It should be very expensive, right? He is such a nice person..."
"Well, can you please apologize properly during dinner tonight?"
"Ah... Hmm, Hmm?! This taste...! Yuu! Ugh! It's so stinky and disgusting!!"
"...Ah?! I, I was pranked?!"
“Hehe, you actually dare to be jealous. You’re quite brave.” Wu Mu, who was holding the Coke can, snorted and laughed, “I’ll let you taste my strange-tasting beans. Kumano said they were delicious after eating them. Hahaha~”
"...
"But I was also disgusted when they kissed me. Is this considered shooting myself in the foot? I should be nicer to her next time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Mu, who was strolling around, turned a corner and saw Xiong Ye, who was at a loss in the distance, and the silent and head-down... Garlic?
"What's going on?" The naughty kid named Wu quickly came closer and found the candy on the ground. "Oh~ You actually dropped someone else's candy?!"
When Kumano first heard the voice of his commander, he really felt that his savior had come, and even his sore fingers felt a lot better. But when he heard clearly what this guy said, he suddenly became even angrier.
"commander!"
"Oh, okay, okay, it's just a joke, O, help me hold it." Wu Mu handed over the ice cola and rubbed the submarine's head. "It's okay, it's okay, sister will give you something else, okay?"
U-110 pursed her lips and blinked, "Who are you?"
"You are a good friend of your commander's sister? Did you drop the candy?"
"Um..."
"Can I compensate you later? Or I can take you to find your commander sister. Do you know where she lives?"
U-110 thought about it and shook her head. Wu Mu was more gentle when she saw this. "I just came back from her place. She has nothing to do now. Let's go play with her and let her read you a story, right?"
"......May I?"
"Of course, she likes children more than her sister. If you go to play with her, she will definitely welcome you and give you lots of delicious food, okay?"
"Well, then, let's go together? I can... um, share some delicious food with you!"
"Okay, I'm just about to go back, so thank you in advance, little friend~"
"...Um!"
Kumano watched the whole process. Seeing that the usually noisy commander had coaxed the child, her heart softened. She took the umbrella to shade the two of them and asked softly:
"Commander, do you... like children very much?"
"Hmm? Hmm...if she's cute and well behaved, I should like her, right?"
Kumano pursed his lips, thinking of the small ball he had obtained from a white-haired otaku who lived on the fourth floor of the old dormitory two days ago at the suggestion of Commander Su.
"Hey, Commander."
"What are you doing? Come closer. If you get tanned, I'll have to change to a secretary ship."
Xiong Ye (gritting his teeth), "Let's... go back and have a baby and give it a try?"
Wu Mu disagreed, "...Are you crazy? But it's time to go back, or my dad will definitely send someone to arrest me and accuse me of being irresponsible...Ah, I haven't touched enough fish yet."
Xiong Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll book the tickets later?"
"Okay, you look so hot. I just drank a few sips of the iced Coke. Leave some for me."
"So you still care about me..." The girl from Sakura smiled when she heard that. She felt like she was craving for honey. She put her hands against the mouth of the jar and swallowed a few sweet mouthfuls. Then she shuddered violently.
"So, so sour!!!"
"Hahahahahahahaha, you've been fooled! It tastes sour and sweet, right? Is it better than a certain brand of yogurt? I haven't even tried it, so I'll give it all to you! Am I good to you, my wife? Humph~"
Knowing that life is full of ups and downs and traps, Kumano gritted his teeth and crushed the jar, looking viciously at the happy Wu Mu.
"I'll fuck you to death if I return to Hong Kong!"
Chapter 863 I Planted Roots
Just like when he came, Wu Mu suddenly said after dinner that he had to catch a train, and waved goodbye with a chicken wing in his mouth.
At that time, Su Xin was helping Lafite scoop soup and was surprised by her friend's overly casual attitude. She could only complain in the other's flying big waves.
"You should at least tell me in advance. We are not fleeing. Do you want some snacks from Sister Yixian?"
"Isn't it just to escape? I don't want to see that bed again in my life." Wu Mu secretly complained, but his face was still unrestrained, "No, I have gained a circle of fat, thank you."
“Oh, bye then.
"Ah? That's it? Shouldn't you be polite and say something like 'How about I give you a ride'?!"
The little commander placed the bowl in front of Lafite without even looking up. "No need to be polite with you. You're always welcome. I'll keep the room for you."
"No, thank you."
After saying this, Dabolang threw away the bone, took his ship girl and left without looking back, without any reluctance to leave.
After everyone left, Su Xin continued to eat. She looked up at New Jersey who had a puzzled look on his face. Then she calculated the time and had an idea in her mind.
"...It's almost done."
On the afternoon Wu Mu left, the little commander stood in the yard and watched the maids packing up their things.
The room was unexpectedly clean, probably because Kumano had tidied it before leaving. There was nothing for them to worry about, whether it was the trash can or the bathroom.
The only thing that puzzled Su Xin was the missing bed sheet.
"...So why did they take the sheets, ruin them and throw them away?"
Dido didn't really understand either. She buried her head and just did her work without saying a word, but she was in a very good mood. After all, she left Yingyong and returned to her master, and she was healed both physically and mentally.
Sheffield Bididuo was direct. While removing the bedding to wash, she casually guessed, "Dirty, damaged, souvenir, resale, there are many possibilities. Also, can you stay away?"
The little commander blinked. "Eh? I'm not blocking the door. I'm almost... three meters away from the door, right? And did you just mention some strange purpose?"
"A sneeze caused by flying dust is still a sneeze. Please don't add unnecessary cleaning work to the maids."
Dido was stunned. She glanced at her cold-faced colleague, then looked at her stunned master, and hurriedly explained: "Well, that... Xie Fei didn't mean that..."
The little conductor waved his hand, "I know, Sister Sheffield was just reminding me of the dust, I was just thinking about something else."
After comforting the timid maid, Su Xin opened Yixian's door, glanced into the empty inner room, looked solemn, and walked out thoughtfully.
"...When did Sister Yixian change the bed sheet? Where did the previous one go?"
This is a meaningless question, but it is very thought-provoking. After hearing Sheffield's strange examples, it even seems a bit scary when you think about it carefully.
Fortunately, New Jersey popped up not far away and interrupted the commander's wild guesses.
"Student Su?" The large battleship waved at her while leaning against the door frame. "Can you come over here for a moment? I have something to tell you..."
"Hmm? Oh, here it comes."
Su Xin took a few quick steps and entered the room from the other person's side. After the door was closed, she asked directly, "Are you ready to leave too?"
"Eh? Classmate Su, you are too smart!"
"It's more like you're too obvious." Su Xin walked to the desk and flipped through her notes. "Your eyes were wide open during lunch just now. Normally, you would squint your eyes when you're happy."
In fact, what is more convincing is the taste. Compared with the slightly spicy sweetness when it first came here, New Jersey is now full of sour and astringent flavor.
Battleship scratched his head when he heard that, and stepped forward to cover the notebook with embarrassment, "My handwriting is not as good as yours, so you'd better not turn it over. You've reviewed very well."
"Then there's nothing to worry about. I always feel like you're in a bad mood."
"Uh... maybe I don't want to go back to school? I don't like exams and defenses, and the food in the cafeteria isn't as good as yours. I get a headache just thinking about the tasteless seaweed soup."
Su Xin sighed and smiled helplessly and gently, "I have asked about the subjects you are reviewing. The exam time is relatively concentrated. You can finish the exams in half a month at most, which means less than a month including the round trip."
New Jersey curled his lips, "In the words of your Donghuang, this is called a day of separation -"
"It feels like just one day." The little commander interrupted accurately, pulling the dissatisfied old classmate to move to the sofa, "It's less than a month. After the exam, we will review the next subject. Time has passed in the blink of an eye. Why are you so sentimental?"
"I know, I know..."
New Jersey didn't know what to say after he finished mumbling, and Su Xin wasn't very good at persuading people, so the two classmates just sat side by side in silence until the maid, who had finished cleaning, knocked on the door.
Su Xin came back to her senses, "Have you booked your train ticket? It's several days away, don't delay the exam."
New Jersey nodded, "OK, tomorrow morning."
Su Xin thought for a moment and asked again, "Have you packed up your things? Do you need my help?"
"Well, it's collected."
"...
"Ah...wouldn't it be good to learn from that guy Wu Mu?" Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the ceiling. "It should be enough to bring some clothes, right? The rest can be left here."
This incoherent sentence suddenly made New Jersey relax his frown and smile widely. "Yeah, if I'm lazy, I'll just put it here. I can just brush up on it normally."
Hearing this, the young commander glanced at New Jersey with a slightly disdainful look, then stood up and said goodbye, "I won't see you off tomorrow? I'll hold a welcome party for you when I come back."
"Okay! It's a deal, it has to be delicious!"
"Row."
New Jersey leaned on the sofa and watched the little commander leave. After the door closed, she hurriedly got up and rushed to the table, stuffing the covered notebook back into the space.
After being absent-minded for a moment, she took out the notebook again, turned to the last page, carefully tore it off, gently folded it, and put it at the innermost side of the drawer and pressed it with a book.
"Well...plant the 'seed' here, and my roots will be here from now on."
"A month. It would be better if I could finish the exam in two days."
"...Forget it, I'd better study hard. Maybe I can get a perfect score and my photo can be hung next to classmate Su's in school."
"Hehe... Come on, New Jersey! *w★~"
The next afternoon, the maid cleaned the empty room after New Jersey left as usual.
Sheffield took apart the bedding, wiped the tables and chairs, sorted the books, and finally, when he was cleaning the dust in the drawers under the desk, he found the folded paper.
Out of respect for personal privacy, Sheffield did not intend to open it.
But maybe New Jersey didn't use much force when folding it, because he was afraid of leaving marks. When the book that was responsible for fixing it was picked up, the paper automatically unfolded, revealing the tender inner
It was a girl's portrait drawn with a gel pen. The eyes were replaced by blackened "0", the mouth and nose were dots, and the eyebrows were asymmetrical, even the hair was not spared.
But the weed-like ponytail and the overly straightforward painting title cleared up Sheffield's confusion.
Dear Su
It's hard to believe, but it's true
Sheffield hesitated for a while, and finally folded the New Jersey painting gently and pressed it back. He also gave up a series of delicate cleaning tasks and turned to leave the room.
"...Wait for her to come back and wipe off this layer of wax made of dust with her own hands."
Chapter 864 I Produced Fruit
There is still about half a month left until the summer event. We have to wait for official notification for the exact time, but it will definitely be in July.
If we aim to be the top of the merit list, repeating the support operation of last winter may be the best option at the moment.
After all, when there are more people, there will be greater competition. Although transportation and facilities are more convenient, the number of Siren ships that appear in the safe zone every day is always limited. No matter how hard you try, the inevitable result is that there are more people than porridge.
The support operations are different. Except for the commander sent over, there are only a bunch of unorganized wandering ship girls.
Most of them just want to keep the passing line so that they can replenish resources or exchange equipment. After reaching their expectations, they will gradually stop and there will be no "rolling" situation.
The competition for merit is not that fierce, and the official supervision is looser. Small commanders with special circumstances will have relatively more freedom in such places.
But no matter what I thought, the last time she was assigned there, someone deliberately set up a test for her. If she passed, the income faction would invest resources in her, and if she failed, she would be left alone.
Ever since the unexpected death of the unknown superior, there have been no more dark looks towards him. Or perhaps there were some but they were suppressed by the power of the research institute.
Relying on the existence of the [Research Ship], Su Xin's port area has become a hot spot in the eyes of researchers, and Su Xin herself naturally cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Based on this premise, the possibility of the official sending her to support this time will be greatly reduced, and she may even be prohibited from participating in the event. After all, they have no interest in the performance of the little commander. A person who is alive is considered successful.
This is certainly not what Su Xin wanted to see, so after discussing with Tiancheng, she decided to take advantage of this time to build the second phase of the ship girl.
Just like the first phase of scientific research, after the birth of Frederick the Great, other unlocked scientific research ships became able to catch up by relying on supplies and [Mind Cube].
New ships were added before the old ships were fully researched. The official attitude was either to find a reason to detain the port area so that they could continue to make mistakes, or to release them so that detailed combat data could be collected.
