Beifa bowed apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I asked Xie Fei to investigate the other party's identity without your permission."
"There's nothing to be sorry about... But I've heard Sister Tiancheng mention it before, so I'm mentally prepared for her background."
"That's good. It's unnecessary for Befa to do this."
"Uh... Sister Befa?"
The head maid stood up straight, folded her hands in front of her belly, and smiled her usual perfect smile, "Commander? Is there anything else you need?"
"No, I just..."
Su Xin blinked, looked away, and supported the dizzy Lafite in her arms so that she could finish drinking the honey water. Then she freed her hands and pulled the slightly surprised head maid to sit beside her.
"Well...thank you for your hard work, Sister Beifa."
"I don't understand what you mean, but these are the duties of a maid, so please don't take it too seriously."
"But caring and concern are not the same thing, right?"
Su Xin said as she adjusted Bai Tutu's position, letting her lie down with her legs as a pillow, and then she pushed Beifa, who wanted to get up, down again.
Beifa looked puzzled, but he turned his upper body in the direction of the little commander's force. Just as he was about to ask, he was startled by the numbness in his shoulder muscles.
"Commander?!"
"It's rare to see you upset. Don't worry, I have a lot of experience." Su Xin said as she gently massaged the other person's stiff shoulders. "And then? Did you find out anything?"
It was not because of tiredness, but the investigation results that made Befa feel a little difficult to report to, so he felt secretly worried.
Now that they were talking about business, she was not obsessed with getting out of the situation. She lowered her voice and explained concisely, "From the resume obtained through investigation, there is nothing unusual. She is a rich lady who is about to fulfill her so-called obligations."
"Um...but?"
"However, Sheffield spent a lot of time and got a photo of the other party smoking and fighting about three years ago. This was the content obtained by bypassing the blockade. For more... I'm sorry, we don't have the ability."
Su Xin thought for a moment, "Does this mean that she wasn't as quiet as she is now?"
"You don't seem surprised?" After the matter of not fulfilling her duty was simply exposed, Befa slowly relaxed her tense body. "Or did she tell you about her past self?"
"It wasn't very specific. It just said that her parents had died, she wasn't loved, and there was a tendency for her to be considered as a candidate for marriage. So I thought it was normal that her personality was not as quiet as she appeared on the surface."
Beifa nodded. "In that case, I won't go into details. Just know this."
"Actually, I thought at first that everything she said was false, because when she said it, there was a faint hint of lying, but now it seems that it is probably because she is hiding her true character?"
"I'm sorry, but Befa doesn't know the correct answer either."
Su Xin sighed, "It doesn't matter. You have done a good job. Even if she came with a purpose, it is nothing more than to get the data of Junjie and the others. You can't get such things from me, don't worry."
"Okay, I understand." The head maid hesitated for a few seconds and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's OK, Commander. Thank you very much for your help. I feel much better."
"Well, you take a good rest. I'll ask about the rankings tomorrow and see if I can give everyone a day or two off."
The head maid, whose worries were easily resolved, smiled again and nodded obediently, "It's up to you."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then...how about removing those rules from Little Beifa's notebook? She's always nervous when she's with me, and she won't even take a nap when I ask her to."
"That... isn't possible. As an apprentice maid, she still has a lot to learn.
"Eh?"
Hearing the little commander's regretful sigh, Beifa smiled helplessly and said, "After she becomes a regular employee, your opinion will be the main consideration."
"Really? I remembered it, ok?"
"Yeah, of course."
Chapter 903 Summer 1 (Together
After comparing the data provided by Da Yan Meng, Su Xin, who temporarily topped the list, decided to give everyone two days off.
She originally thought that there were many commanders in the world, and that to win the championship would require a long time and effort, as well as enough luck.
But it was not until she looked at the data that she realized that her performance was almost two days' work more than the second place.
After the initial surprise, Su Xin analyzed the situation seriously and finally came up with three answers: "support in combat", "full attendance in the attack", and "help from an insider".
Because it is a support operation, there are not many competitors, and it is easier than those dozen or twenty ports crowded in one sea area to grab monsters.
The ship girls go out early and come back late every day, and they have enough oil in their pockets. As long as they can kill them all in one wave, they will never waste time attacking in batches, and their attack efficiency is extremely high.
In addition, the Siren leader in charge of this world is a lazy guy and has even chosen a side very early on. It only takes a thought to change the distribution of the "remote control models".
Three factors have contributed to Su Xin's lead, and it is certain that this momentum will not weaken over time. On the contrary, due to increasingly fierce competition elsewhere, her ranking will not change much.
In this case, you still have to take a rest. Anyway, the data is too outstanding and it will arouse suspicion. It is better to dry the fishing nets for two days before going back to the sea.
In this way, the ship girls who had worked hard for more than ten days finally had some free time of their own.
Ever since Jiang Feng of Sakura Empire was overly cautious and was persuaded by Nagato last time, he has been observing this overly young commander with caution.
Her appearance is impeccable, and her personality is indeed great. Apart from being a little petite, which makes her feel insecure, her biggest flaw is probably... too many scandals?
Since Jiang Feng was not familiar with the young commander yet, she could not strike up a conversation with him naturally. Therefore, if she wanted to get to know him, she could only do so in a roundabout way through other means.
She was troubled for a long time and finally found the answer on her mobile phone.
【Hong Kong gossip chat group】
Jiang Feng discovered that the frequency of mentioning the little commander during chats here was very high, accounting for almost half of all the chat content, including serious questions, gossip photos, XP exposure, inexplicable madness, etc.
Regardless of whether it is accurate or not, it is definitely interesting.
So Jiang Feng looked at it while eating, while strolling, while fishing, and even after turning off the lights before going to bed, becoming a veritable "screen peeping party".
It's true that this is a good way to understand the port area. At least she realized that compared to the commander, whose holding hands could be regarded as gossip, the crazy Taiho all day long is obviously more terrifying.
"...If Taihou is interested in the Commander, then wouldn't she also be interested in Nagato-sama...?!"
Jiang Feng, who was holding the phone, widened his eyes and suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis.
"Commander and Nagato-sama, they are of similar size and build, and are both gentle and amiable in private. They both have their own duties that need to be taken seriously."
"So... Commander = Nagato-sama?!"
The destroyer, who was sitting on the reef fishing, suddenly figured it out. She found that the two people did overlap in some ways.
If a dangerous person like Taiho were to fall in love with the commander, there was no guarantee that the commander would not shift his attention to Lord Nagato, with whom he had a lot in common.
Although Helena and Cleveland's relationship is extremely perfect and enviable, Jiang Feng really cannot accept it if it were Taifeng and Nagato.
In this case...
"Then I'm guarding the wrong person, right? And besides Nagato-sama, do I also have to take on the responsibility of guard commander?"
"........."
"Oh no, today is a holiday, Taiho will definitely... No, I have to go back and check!"
Jiang Feng raised his butt with a serious expression and prepared to leave, but he found that the fishing rod in his hand was suddenly pulled by something under the water.
She immediately stopped her movements and concentrated, holding her breath, waiting for the moment when she felt the pulling force from the pole again, and then she pulled it up with all her strength!
Nothing at all.
"........."
Jiang Feng, who had no idea how many times he had missed a goal, took out his cell phone and called Nagato, "Sir, is Dafeng nearby?"
[Hmm? No, I'm playing chess with Mutsu, do you want to join?]
"So...what about the commander? Did she go out today?"
[I’m not sure about this. What happened?]
"No, Nagato-sama. I'm just... a little worried."
[It's okay, you have to trust everyone. Besides, there are the royal maids here, you can rest assured... Ah, Mutsu, you secretly moved the chess piece, right?!]
"...I understand. I won't bother you anymore, Nagato-sama. Goodbye."
【Well, enjoy your vacation. Goodbye. 】
Jiang Feng hung up the phone, stood in the sea breeze for a while, and finally sat back on the reef silently, skillfully adding a piece of bait to the fishhook.
"... Let's fish one more time, and then we'll go back for the last one. Well, it'll be quick to collect the fish."
"Nagato-sister? What's wrong? Who called you, the commander?"
"No, it was Jiang Feng." Nagato put the phone aside, "...You must have moved the chess piece secretly, right? It wasn't like that just now."
"No, hurry up, it's time for me to go." Mutsu was extremely excited as he looked at the situation where he was about to win.
Nagato shook his head helplessly and took a step forward, which sealed his defeat. "You won. What's next? Another round?"
"Well... forget it, it's always just the two of us playing, and there's no punishment, so winning or losing doesn't matter anymore... Today is a day off, how about I ask the commander if he has time?"
"Hmm? Don't, don't ask her...!"
Mutsu blinked, not really understanding. "Why...? You want to play with her, too, right? You've mentioned it over and over again about using a sheet to measure the spirit's appearance."
Nagato felt a little embarrassed by her sister's overly straightforward statement. Although her words were not wrong, she still couldn't let go of her pride and was bound by her identity as the "leader of the Sakura Empire."
Especially with guys like Taihou and Akagi at home, if she doesn't behave herself and retain her dignity as a captain, she might not be able to control them.
"...She is very busy." Nagato said with half regret and half sigh.
Mutsu was puzzled by this statement, "Isn't it a holiday now? How can it be busy?"
"This... you don't understand yet. It's because it's the holiday that she's so busy."
The little battleship held his chest and thought hard, and finally came to a conclusion, "Oh... Sister means that there are many people like us who also want to play with the commander, right?"
Nagato originally thought that it was not a good idea to disturb Su Xin and the other wedding ships, but there was nothing wrong with what her sister said, so she nodded.
"Well, that's right."
I thought the topic would end there, but unexpectedly, Mutsu said as a matter of course: "That's okay, we can all play together, it will be very lively!"
lively?
Nagato began to feel tired when she thought of this word. In order to maintain her dignity, she would always use "you" or "I" when communicating with others, and only use "you" and "I" in private.
Although she is used to both of these names, if she really has to choose one, it is definitely the latter that is more intimate.
If, as Mutsu said, she went to a very busy and crowded place to play, she would feel more or less uncomfortable with her airs.
"After all... I also want to talk freely like everyone else..."
"Go ahead, go ahead~ I have so many questions to ask the Commander, but every time I get stopped by my sister, I'm really curious~"
"this…..."
"If my sister wants to come back then, we will come back immediately, really!"
"...Okay, please don't ask weird questions, okay?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Well, then... go ahead."
"What are your plans for today?"
"Since it's a rare break, why don't you practice kendo?"
In fact, Kaohsiung paused, swallowed the training invitation that he had not yet spoken, and asked: "...Okay, then what are your plans?"
Atago thought about it, turned around and walked to the bed, and began to take things out of the space, one set after another, and it looked like there was not much fabric.
Kaohsiung was stunned when he saw this, "Are you... going to the beach?"
"Hmm, I've observed these days that the sand on the beach is quite fine, not painful to the feet, and very suitable for sunbathing."
"But the other ship girls are coming and going. Wouldn't it affect them if you rest there?"
Atago glared at her sister helplessly, "You, Susu has already told us to rest, why don't you always be so serious? Have you forgotten that they will probably be back in the evening?"
"I see... By the way, um... does everyone call her that? Commander, I thought it was just a polite gesture."
"Yeah, you can call her anything you want, as long as you don't call her 'honey'."
Kaohsiung, who was much more serious than his sister, frowned upon hearing this. Atago was very tactful and quickly changed the subject, "Well... what kind of suit should I choose for you...?"
