"Thank you, thank you..." Ono Xing sniffed and forced herself to calm down. "That's it. I'll go back first and visit you another day."
"Aren't you staying for dinner?"
"No, no, I have to go back and tidy it up. It looks... too ugly... Xin-chan, Miss Maya, Miss Beifeng, I'm leaving first. Bye."
After saying that, Ono An lightly pressed down the hem of her skirt, lowered her head and walked out of the door, leaving the house amid Xiao Beifa's concerned inquiries downstairs.
After everyone had left, the Purifier, who had been biting Su Xin to hold back his laughter until his saliva was all over his body, finally let go and rolled to the side, clutching the wig and laughing non-stop.
The observer, who felt bored after listening to a lot of things, rubbed his shoulders, got out of bed, sat at the desk, and continued to look through the notebooks with symbols.
Su Xin felt the wetness near her left butterfly bone, and her expression was not very good. "...Are you drooling?"
“Hahahaha, yeah, I’m sorry… She really loves to act, and I was impressed by her, so I acted like this, otherwise I couldn’t help laughing, hahahaha.”
"...Oh, really, I told you not to use 'Maya', but you chose a name that would be questioned, and ended up causing so many problems."
"What's the matter?" The Purifier rolled to Su Xin's side, raised his hands to hold her waist and rubbed it, "Isn't it interesting? I showed you a TV series, what do you think?"
"...There are too many loopholes in the setting, and it also smells a bit like a lie. Hmm...there must be another purpose behind it."
"Really? Really? What about me?"
"...a skit script."
“Hahahahahahahahaha, yeah ~ I succeeded ~”
ps: I want to spend a day tomorrow to adjust my mentality. It's probably because of the work adjustment at the end of the month. I have to prepare for various matters, and then go to an unplanned place to start an unplanned life. I feel a little anxious, so I want to be lazy tomorrow, go downstairs to be in a daze or eat French fries and observe humans. (In good mental state, no internet

Chapter 896 Summer Activity 4 (Together
“Drink.”
"...
"...Snow Wind?"
"...
"Uh... Lord Yukikaze?"
“…”
"Xiangrui Ship! Are you listening to me?"
The absent-minded white-haired Tsundere suddenly came back to his senses, and subconsciously puffed out his chest and looked at Xiang who had a subtle expression beside him, "What, what happened? Is there an enemy?!"
"Enemy? No, I just saw you in a daze and felt something was wrong..."
"Ah? Then why don't you just pat me? Is there any need to be so loud..." Xuefeng said softly, glancing guiltily at the two people who were dozing off behind him, "What if I wake them up..."
Xiang carried the huge anchor on one shoulder, and was puzzled by Xuefeng's usual pride, but today's behavior was so different, "What's wrong with you? I don't usually see you care so much about others."
"How is that possible? I am just silently giving my all! Don't underestimate me!"
"Hmm...like praying for rain twice? Or does it mean asking me to take the bullet every time?"
Xuefeng raised his eyebrows to refute, but he was stuck as soon as he opened his mouth, "I...you...it was an accident! It was obviously...an accident..."
"Yes, yes, yes... So what happened? These past few days, you turned and hid whenever you saw the Siren ship from a distance, so we didn't achieve any results. It will be hard to explain to the commander when we return... Is it because you were slacking off?!"
"No, no!" Xuefeng blushed and turned to look at the two people who were still confused. "Because, because I don't want to... I don't want to disturb their sleep!"
Xiang really didn't expect the other party to come up with this reason to fool him.
What's the point of saying "I'm afraid of disturbing other people's sleep"? Who are you trying to fool? Which ship girl would sleep on the sea while sailing? This is obviously very problematic, right?!
Only the two of them were honest. If this situation was seen by the leader Nagato, it would probably turn into an awkward symposium, which would not be acceptable to the secretary ship Amagi.
The commander at home was expecting them to work hard to kill monsters all day long, but instead, their team of four was playing stealth on the sea, and it wasn't the kind of stealth that Connor wielding an axe does. Who can withstand this?
"Um... Xuefeng, I specifically told Sister Xiao that I would come to help you. We can't slack off. We must board the next Siren ship we encounter."
"But...but I..."
"Oh, it's okay. We've practiced the actual combat class so many times, and you've also participated in activities. Besides, they're so big that they can't do anything except firing stupidly. Isn't this easy?"
Xuefeng hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed hesitantly with a frown, but secretly prayed in his heart that the team would not encounter enemy ships in the next few hours to avoid fighting.
Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Many times, the things you don't want to see always happen.
After sailing for more than ten minutes, Xiang, who was carrying the anchor, first saw the black ship wandering in the distance, "Ah, here they come! The enemy is coming!"
"Wait, wait!" Xuefeng hurriedly stopped his friend from waking up the two sleepyheads behind him, "I, I think... No, I will deal with them. Just wait and see my heroic battle!"
"Eh? Eh, wait, let Shinano-nee-san go directly... Hey!" Xiang looked at the white-haired tsundere speeding forward, and after thinking for a moment, he had to maintain the original speed, "Really... Do you like to be in the limelight so much...?"
"Really... I still run into this problem. It's really annoying..."
Yukikaze skillfully deployed the torpedo rack, dodging the bombardment while throwing the thick torpedo into the water, still muttering to herself.
"If we never run into each other, wouldn't that be safe? It's obviously good for both sides..."
"Now... well, we can only solve it as soon as possible."
The Siren ships are very large, and in close-range combat, the ship girls basically don’t have to worry about the hit rate. Even if they throw with their bare hands, they will not miss the target.
When facing this situation, small ship girls with insufficient firepower will generally choose to throw torpedoes close to the enemy ship, in addition to running and shooting to interfere with the enemy ship, and it is best to fire several rounds at the same part in succession.
Obviously, Xuefeng, who had participated in the event, was very experienced in this. He adjusted the angles of the torpedoes while running dozens of meters away, trying to make their damage hit only one place, so as to make holes in the thick-skinned battleships.
Since the ship girls are small in size and agile in movement, they have a lot of room to operate. Unless they encounter humanoid sirens, the battles are mostly one-sided.
Similarly, Xuefeng didn't think that she would be able to deal with these stupid Siren ships with her speed. She even became more radical in order to win quickly.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
As all four torpedoes hit, water began to fill the bottom of the first battleship.
Xuefeng dodged the explosive shells fired from the huge cannon several times. After getting close, he casually threw a torpedo into the gap where seawater was pouring back, then turned around and rushed towards the next ship.
"Hmph... That's what I mean. I can handle it all by myself!"
"........."
"...So why did you lump her and me together..."
"Commander, what a jerk... You didn't even ask me beforehand." The little destroyer that started attacking the second Siren ship complained to itself, "You're just trying to make me uncomfortable."
"boom!!"
"...The Auspicious Ship and the like are best used alone, right? The commander is really stupid, and his combat experience is as poor as ever."
"Crunch-Boom
With the explosion and capsizing of the first battleship, Xuefeng, who was about to achieve his second victory, did not feel happy, but instead felt more confused and aggrieved.
"It was like this during the last event... It was easy to win, but everyone kept getting hurt for no apparent reason..."
"No matter how hard I try, strange things will happen and cause trouble for everyone...
5 .......
"...Obviously, they have been very careful."
"...It's clearly an auspicious ship, but it always brings bad luck to those around it..."
"Boom boom boom!"
The whispered words mixed with the violent explosions caused by the torpedoes hitting the ship. Xuefeng, who was unharmed, also buried her expression in the thick smoke.
"........."
"...So there is no need for them to join the battle. Just solve the problem yourself, Master Yukikaze." The destroyer encouraged himself, "This is good for everyone... I'm sure everyone thinks so anyway!"
"These small fry are simple. I will apply to the commander when I go back today, and I can attack on my own tomorrow."
"Hehe... I am the invincible Lord Yukikaze~"
"........."
"I am... invincible... Lord Yukikaze..."
Keeping moving at a high speed and approaching the second battleship, Xuefeng, who was unable to tell what his emotions were at the moment, was just about to insert a torpedo into the broken gap when he was hit at close range by the huge impact and high temperature generated instantly.
The earth-shattering explosion was like thunder, making her dizzy. The blazing flames and thick smoke burned her eyes, and tears of unknown cause quickly welled up in her eyes, accompanied by the stinging pain.
The petite body was carried away by the air wave and fell onto the sea surface more than ten meters away in a somewhat embarrassing manner, causing a large amount of waves.
"Ahem... ahem... did we accidentally blow up the ammunition depot? How could it be such a coincidence..."
Xuefeng rubbed his eyes and tried hard to recover by brushing his status, but found that this extremely convenient method in life had failed because of the damage to his ship equipment.
Just at this moment, the Siren ship that was attracted in the distance approached rapidly, and a low humming sound different from the sound of artillery fire suddenly sounded above her head.
This development caught Xuefeng off guard, as she was sure that there were no aircraft carriers among the ships. She could only quickly wipe her wet face and force her eyes open to look at the Siren carrier-based aircraft above that were starting to drop bombs.
It is more difficult to dodge a blanket bomb drop than a simple artillery attack. The difference is like that between a projectile lead ball and an endless rain of arrows. The sense of oppression brought by the two is not at the same level at all.
Therefore, when dense bombs fell rapidly from the sky, Xuefeng, who was about to stand up, shuddered slightly, then straightened his chest and widened his rabbit-like eyes.
She no longer wants to bring misfortune to others and then be lucky enough to survive. She wants to face everything and bear all the consequences herself.
At least... she didn't want to bring any more harm to Shinano. (Note 1)
"The Auspicious Ship... one person can do it!"
The destroyer puffed up his cheeks and prepared to dodge forcefully, then raised his head, raised his feet and was about to run away desperately, but his vision was blocked by the sudden appearance of a large group of blue light butterflies.
They flapped their wings, floating lightly in the sky like a cloud, and also like an iron wall, blocking all powerful bombs and intercepting all the exploding flames and fragments.
Next came the massive air fleet, which swept past with an even more terrifying momentum than before, devouring the Siren Air Squadron and even the aircraft carrier itself like locusts.
Amidst the flames and explosions, Hibiki rushed over first with a worried look on his face, followed by Shinano with drooping fox ears, and Yubari who seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
"Xuefeng? Are you okay? I felt something was wrong when I saw you flying out."
The tsundere blushed and said stubbornly, "I, I'm not as miserable as you say! Even if you don't attack me, I will use my good luck to dodge it!"
"Yin? But your good luck doesn't have to be achieved by sacrificing your teammates' luck... uh, that's not what I said, it's Changdao.
Xuefeng opened his mouth, but did not refute immediately as usual. Instead, he lowered his head silently, and he was obviously very disappointed.
Xiang knew she had said the wrong thing, but she still couldn't figure out why people were taking their usual jokes seriously today?
Shinano, who was a step behind, did not comment on this, but just yawned lazily, "Well... you've worked hard, Yukikaze..."
"This, this is nothing!" The dusty Xiangrui Ship habitually puffed out his chest and responded, "After all, the commander entrusted you to me, so I must do my best to protect you!"
"......Hmm?" Shinano blinked her beautiful eyes, "Commander? No, not Commander, I took the initiative to ask to attack together with you..."
"W-what?! I clearly hurt you--well, I-I didn't mean that..."
Shinano shook the water off the tails, and as soon as she loosened her hands, several fox tails fell limply onto the sea surface. She had no choice but to squat down to barely level her eyes with them.
"I...have always believed in fate, but the commander told me that I don't believe in it."
Xuefeng glanced at the wet fox tail and didn't quite understand, "You...what do you mean...?"
"Destiny... represents too many things, covering everyone's life, including mine. The fate of all beings is a fixed number..."
"Including the past that you care about, it was also the ending it...predestined for me."
Shinano curled her eyes and raised her hand to wipe the stains off Xuefeng's face, who was so guilty that she avoided his gaze. "Your fate... has also been determined, but your luck is strong, which is why you can have this title."
Xuefeng lowered her eyes and bit her lip, "...then I...would rather not have this title..."
"But good fortune is a blessing. The fate of others has long been determined and has nothing to do with you, including my own death... Rather, you should be proud of saving the people of Chongying who fell into the water..."
Shinano let out a long breath, her words becoming gentler, "Besides, when I asked the commander to make this arrangement, she explained it to me."
Xuefeng raised her arm to wipe away her tears, sniffed and asked softly: "What did she explain?"
"According to historical facts, my death was a foregone conclusion, because my ship was still unfinished when I set sail."
"She tried to prove to me that all the coincidences that seemed like fate actually had traces to follow..."
Shinano touched the little expellee's head, "She thinks highly of you. Even if I couldn't hold on and took a short nap, she would still chatter when I woke up, fearing that I might misunderstand you..."
Yubari next to him yawned, "So Susu arranged me to be part of this group, so that I can analyze your good luck from a scientific perspective.
"Then... have you figured out the analysis...?" Xuefeng held Xiang's hand tightly, not daring to let go.
Yubari shook his head. "No, there was no battle a few days ago, so I can't see anything. But you were injured today, which proves that the previous statements are not entirely true."
