Ying Yong, who was listening in, was secretly unhappy when he heard this. "Hey, servant, you trust her? What about me? Who of us is more talented?"
"Your Highness Yingyong has leadership talent and is more considerate of the maids. He is very respectable. The female commander has the talent to teach and will definitely be a good teacher. I trust both of you."
Yingyong: "Since you said so..."
Female general: "For your sake, I will try my best..."
Guangrong, who was watching the whole process, was completely dumbfounded, and his eyes turned to Su Xin with admiration.
Obviously, Guanghui and Hood couldn't stand the noise and chose to go back to their rooms, but the commander solved the problem in just a few words. He is simply a genius!
After making the second cup of tea, Befa came out with a tray. He looked at the shy Yingyong and the female general rubbing her face, then at the stunned Guangrong and Zhanyou, and finally at little Befa who was concentrating on eating the cake.
"You're getting more and more proficient at this, Commander." Belfa sighed, then walked forward with a smile.
"Commander, your tea is here."
"Well, thank you, Sister Beifa."
Chapter 870: Harvest
I don’t know if it’s because people with cheerful personalities like to hang out together, but when Su Xin left the Royal Family and went to White Eagle, Nicholas was the only one at home.
According to her, the people in the dormitory were either going on dates, exercising, or looking for Dafeng.
Even Changdao, who always stayed at home, went out. There was another person who was even more outrageous. It was said that he wrapped himself in a cloak and ran to the back mountain to hunt early in the morning.
Only she, the lazy destroyer who had not yet entered school, stayed at home to watch the door, lying on the sofa in the living room to kill time.
Seeing Su Xiao coming over, Nicholas still had no intention of sitting up, but simply said hello: "Commander... do you want to watch TV?"
"Well... aren't you watching it?" Su Xin glanced at the TV, which was playing a documentary on the science and education channel. "Do you like the universe?"
"No...listening to this will help you sleep better..."
Su Xin sat down reluctantly, and pulled Dido to sit down with her. Then she turned her head and looked at Nicholas carefully.
Nicholas, who is also a white-haired destroyer, is even lazier than Laffite in some ways. White Rabbit is just simply sleepy, while she enjoys paddling.
It is said that Nicholas has not even been to the training ground these days. He goes back and forth between the dormitory and the cafeteria every day, leading a regular life.
If I have to describe it, it's probably a smaller version of Long Island? Or the kind that doesn't care about gossip at all.
But the summer activities were about to begin. Although Su Xin did not require her to go all out, she still had to attack when necessary. If she did not make any preparations at all, it would be difficult for her to escape when she encountered danger.
Considering the little girl's face, the little commander didn't say it too directly, but simply asked her: "Is there anything you want to do recently?"
"Well... no." Nicholas seemed to have no concept of exposure. He bent his legs and turned over, exposing his snow-white pants to the public. "I have heard Sister Cleveland's story..."
"Story? What story?"
"Her love story with sister Helena..."
"Oh... So Daddy Ke would tell you this." The little commander was quite surprised. After he finished speaking, he found that Nicholas was staring at him inexplicably, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Nicholas: "'Dad C' means... Sister Cleveland?"
"Hmm? Didn't she tell you? Ah... that's another story..."
The lazy destroyer pricked up his ears and waited for a long time but didn't hear any follow-up. He could only get up and looked at the smiling commander with a mess of hair on his head, "...Can you tell me?"
"Of course, come here, I'll help you comb your hair." The little commander waved his hand.
Nicholas thought it was just a hair combing and it wouldn't be a loss for him, so he slowly crawled over from the sofa.
Su Xin waited for a while, then reached out and held the man in her arms. She took the comb that Dido handed over and gently combed his white hair. "Actually, Daddy Ke is just a nickname."
The sudden close distance made Nicholas a little uncomfortable, but she adapted quickly, lowering her shoulders and allowing the gentle hands to toss her head.
"Don't you think Sister Cleveland is sometimes very manly? Or...um...very sunny and handsome?" Su Xin muttered softly.
Nicholas thought about it and realized that it was true. Compared to Helena's gentleness, Cleveland was indeed more like a "father". Even his head-scratching behavior when being scolded was very similar to that of the father in the anime.
Su Xin: "I was the one who called them that at first, and then everyone got used to it. We would occasionally tease them, and one day they came up to me and asked me if I agreed with them being together."
"Eh...? Sister Cleveland didn't tell me this." Nicholas was very curious.
The little conductor did not hide anything and even revealed some of their secrets, such as the date location that never changed, Dad Ke who had a lot of romantic opportunities, and Mom Hai who would act like a spoiled brat when she was jealous.
By the time her hair was tied into a bun, the white-haired kid in her arms had already fallen asleep leaning on her.
Su Xin thought about it and decided to untie the bun. She then took a pillow and gently placed it behind Nicholas' head, letting her lie down on the sofa and continue to sleep.
"...Let's go." The little commander called softly, "Sister Dido, shall we go to the back mountain to take a look?"
"Good, good."
The foot of the mountain behind was opened up for the construction of camp dormitories. In addition to the dormitories that have already been built, the construction of new dormitories is slowly progressing.
With the infrastructure capabilities of the barbarians, it would actually be very quick to build a dormitory, but considering the noise, dust and other issues that would occur during construction, Su Xin postponed the entire plan.
Anyway, summer work is coming soon, so it won’t be too late to start work after the whole family has left home.
As for the deep back mountain, although it had been slightly tidied up before Su's mother came to Hong Kong, the vegetation was still lush. In addition, the grass and trees grew wildly in spring and summer, and the opened road has been almost covered.
This makes the way up the mountain extremely difficult, especially clothes and shoes, which are the hardest hit areas. If you are not careful, they will be covered with inexplicable things.
"Fortunately, it's not summer or autumn, otherwise there would be more Xanthium sibiricum, Bidens pilosa and the like." The young commander who was leading the way in front complained softly.
The maid, who was wearing a fluffy maid skirt with her thighs exposed, was forced by her master to stay behind just for the strange reason that "stockings are expensive", which made Dido very panicked.
"Master, let Dido go in front, shall we? Dido... Dido can change back into her ship uniform!"
"No, you'll have to find a place to change out of this outfit. That's too much trouble. I'm just wearing sweatpants, which is very convenient."
"Ooooo… I'm sorry, Master! It's, it's Dido who is so useless!"
Su Xin sighed, "Sister Dido, don't always say that. It was me who wanted to come to the back mountain. If you keep arguing, I am the one who is causing you trouble. It's good enough that you are willing to accompany me."
"No, no, no... No, no, no matter where the master goes, Dido is willing to accompany you. As a maid, I should take good care of you. I actually asked you to clear the way for me... It's really... It's really...!"
“Well…if you didn’t want to, I would have carried you up there directly to avoid getting your stockings and skirt dirty.
"This, this is not okay, Dido, Dido is not worthy of you, wuwa?!"
Before she could finish her words, the timid maid was hung upside down by something. Her skirt, which obeyed Newton's law, was held down tightly so that she did not expose herself, but her whole body was dangling in the air with no foothold.
Dido: "Master, Master QA Q..."
Su Xin sighed, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, she turned around and kicked the tree trunk twice, and flew into the air.
He grabbed the rope with one hand and took out a short knife to cut it. Finally, he pulled the maid who bit her lips and dared not make a sound, and held her horizontally in his arms and landed safely.
"It shouldn't hurt, right?"
"Master (°V° small)...
"Well, it's time for you to come out, right? Minneapolis."
Just as he finished speaking, an apple fell from a tall tree. Dido hurriedly raised her hand to catch it, and looked up with the little commander, only to see a cloaked heavy cruiser looking down at them.
"Good skills, Commander. Do you want to join my hunting operation?"
"Um... no." The little commander weighed the maid in his arms, "I've already got something. I came here just to see how you are doing. Is it convenient for us to chat?"
Maid: (///^///) Ugh…
PS: The review has been resumed, and the update will be continued at 9pm tomorrow as usual!
Chapter 871: Go forward bravely! (pointing to wipe face
"What are you trying to catch in the back hills? There doesn't seem to be even a rabbit here."
"Hunting is not necessarily for food." Minneapolis sat on a high branch and raised his hand to point at the maid who had landed and stood up. "Just like your prey, you are not going to eat her, right?"
Dido: Eat, eat me (11°°11)?!
The young commander shook his head as a matter of course, "Of course not, it's better to say that no one would do that, right?"
Dido: No, you don’t want to eat o(T^T)o…
Minneapolis was obviously just giving an example randomly, "So my prey is not limited to rabbits. There are many beautiful insects here, and they are also my prey."
"Ah... do you want to eat them?"
"Of course not." Minneapolis frowned, suspecting that the commander was playing tricks on him. "Why do you think I would eat bugs?"
Commander Su said confidently, "Because there are really a lot of people who eat them. They are very fragrant when fried, although I have never eaten them."
"...So? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"You should come down first. It will make my eyes uncomfortable if I look up at you in the sunlight."
The dark brown heavy cruiser jumped down from the branch and landed steadily on the ground. The cool cloak matched with the patterns on the waist and legs looked very cool.
Su Xin was no exception. She secretly glanced at the white battle patterns and then touched her nose. "It's like this. Summer event is coming soon. I wanted to get to know you better before the event."
"Well, that's just right. I also want to get to know you better, Commander." Minneapolis raised the shotgun-shaped ship suit, "You are not an ordinary human, right? How about we give it a try?"
"Um...you mean fighting?"
"Of course, although the battle between hunters should be decided by the prey they hunt, I have more experience than you, so this is unfair to you. Why don't you just fight head-on?"
The young commander thought about it, and nodded in the face of the maid's worried expression, "Of course you can, but you must not fire the cannon, as it will make too much noise."
"Of course. I won't take it seriously. Let's just stop here."
"it is good."
With the help of the [Virtual Port Area], Su Xin, who can activate the ship girl form without transforming into a beast, is best at this kind of competition that relies on reaction and speed.
The confrontation took several minutes, but the winner was decided in just a moment.
So when the two figures crossed each other, Minneapolis, who raised her hand to touch her belly, was both surprised and curious. She was no longer as unfamiliar as when they first met. Instead, she came over and pinched the little conductor's thigh.
"Huh?"
"Hmm... It's so soft, this shouldn't be the case..."
"Stop pinching, it's itchy... I just want to say that I'm still strong, you can rest assured and do whatever you want. Of course, you can't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Whatever you want to do, do it." Minneapolis pulled the little commander's arm and poked his barely noticeable biceps. "What do you mean specifically?"
Su Xin: "For example...for example...uh, okay, I just think I should tell you. If I delay for too long, it will seem like I am being distant."
"Commander, you're overthinking this. Hmm, that's really strange. He doesn't look like he's been trained."
“I used to be good at dancing, but I slacked off later on…but I do run well in the morning!” The little conductor was not convinced.
Minneapolis tried to find out nothing, so he shook his head and gave up. He casually caught a metallic green insect from his trouser pocket and said, "Here, I give it to you. Thank you for coming to see me."
Facing the maid's frightened gaze, the little commander took it calmly, then raised his hand to let it fly, "Thank you, but I don't know what to do with it after I take it back, so I'd better let it go."
"what ever."
"Then let's go back first. I'll ask the barbarians to repair the road a little later."
"No, I can help you." Minneapolis seemed to become more friendly. "After all, I'm better than them at designing mountain climbing routes."
"Well, I'll leave it to you. We'll go back and prepare some iced juice for you. Remember to come to the cafeteria to drink it."
"Okay, goodbye, Commander."
"Goodbye~"
Because a road was opened when going up the mountain, the process of going down the mountain became much simpler. However, the maid was not very peaceful along the way.
"So it's just an insect, there's no need to be so scared, right?"
"No, no!" The timid maid was strong for once, holding the little commander's hand and wiping it repeatedly, "What if, what if there is a terrible virus? Then, what about the master?!"
"Just beetles, or... is Sister Dido actually afraid of insects?"
Unlike those stubborn tsunderes, Dido admitted very quickly to Su Xin, "Yeah... I feel so weird when I think about them crawling on your hand... Eating bugs or something, that's fake too, right!?"
"No, fried cicada pupae, locusts and other foods are very common. If you are interested, I will ask Ning Hai to make some for you to try some other day."
"Huh?! No no!"
"There are also centipedes and scorpions. They will be skewered and roasted, and then sold to customers. Crunch, crunch—
"Master, no, don't say that anymore QA Q..."
It was quite fun to tease the maid occasionally. Besides, although Su Xin, who had lost [Fear], had never eaten those things, she still felt that fried silkworm pupae were more acceptable than royal cuisine.
