After resolving the blow that could have been devastating to Miss Hood, Ben Shiran exhaled a foul breath, then turned around and looked at Miss Hood, who was lying on the ground with seawater and cannon fodder on her face, and even sparks coming out of her. He exhaled with a wooden face.
The lines that the male protagonist often says in anime.
"Are you OK."
Miss Hood took a breath and said, "Look, I'm still angry. Do I look okay?"
But after all, she was her own child, so she couldn't make things too awkward. It didn't matter if she had a backache, after all, she was trying to save herself. Miss Hood got up and used her gloves, which had turned black, to tidy up her hair.
"Elegance, be elegant."
"It's okay. The burning state is a little difficult to endure, but it's not a big problem."
Su Xin thought about it seriously, then squatted down under the puzzled gazes of the ship girls, dipped her hand into the sea water, and then raised it high to cover Miss Hood's face.
Miss Hood was so angry that her nose was almost crooked, and the culprit was still wondering, "Why can't it be put out..."
While they were making a fuss here, the battle on the other side had already ended. The shell just now was more like the last blow before the Siren ship sank. After that, it had no resistance and was blasted into the sea by other ship girls who came to support it in a few seconds.

In the dark night, Tiancheng's location could not be determined, and the figure could not be seen clearly. She just stood there, like a lady from a noble family who came to play, standing quietly on the sea, waiting for the person she had an appointment with to come and find her.
Of course, the spoils were given to the shipgirls who came to support. After all, it was them who sank the Siren ship. Su Xin's shipgirls hurriedly thanked them, and their proper attitude made them feel embarrassed.
"Especially that black-haired cat girl. She was so cute when she said thank you expressionlessly!"
The ship girl who came to support cried out in her heart, but unfortunately the light was too dim and the child did not look up at her, but just bowed to thank her, so the child's face could not be seen clearly.
"But it's still so cute! And the action of chopping the cannonball with a knife is also very cool!"
Su Xin didn't have so many thoughts in her mind. After confirming that her parents and sisters were all safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense heart finally relaxed.
After the ship girls who came to support left, Su Xin led the ship girls whose fire had been reduced a lot to the front of Amagi. Amagi was still standing upright, his posture had not changed, his expression was smiling, and he was very patient.
"Sister Tiancheng, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.
"It's ok, are you all okay sisters?"
The ship girls looked at each other when they heard this. They all knew Amagi's subtext and they accepted it smoothly. "Well, thanks to you, there's no problem."
"That's good." Tiancheng replied with a smile, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that he was accepted, and his mood quietly jumped up.
"Then let's go back first?" Tiancheng smiled, took off his red robe, and put it on Su Xin, whose down jacket had a torn collar. "Don't catch a cold."
"Hmm..." Su Xin turned around and tried to look back. The hem of her robe was dragging on the sea and was already wet. "My clothes are wet."
"It's okay." Tiancheng smiled gently, "Wear it, or you'll catch a cold."
Helena frowned, feeling that her identity as the guardian was somewhat threatened, but then she thought about it and realized that Susu didn't call Tiancheng "Mom", so she thought she was just being too suspicious.
The group walked back together, not very fast. Su Xin was still lying on Tian Cheng's back, twisting her little face to apologize to La Fei for ruining her coat.
Rafi shook her head and didn't care much. She never let go of Portland's index finger. Portland thought it over and let her hold his hand. After the fire in his body was extinguished, he took out the familiar doll and held it in his arms.
"Indy-chan~ Wait for me to come see you~"
The group returned safely without any harm.
ps: I'm back safely, so congratulations. I'll go home for the New Year after one more battle~
Chapter 86 Water
The ship girls did not encounter any other Siren ships on the way back. Since everyone was more or less injured, they did not move very fast, especially a royal lady who was walking with her hands on her hips.
According to her own explanation, if she didn't put her hands on her waist, she couldn't exert much strength, and her waist hurt on both sides. This resulted in her taking up the space of two people, and walking in the queue of ship girls like a catwalk, twisting her waist every two steps.
She is so charming no matter how you look at her.
The clothes of the ship girls were not very complete. They were burned and torn here and there. These clothes, which were equivalent to part of the ship uniforms, had to be repaired before they could be restored to their original state. Fortunately, Su Xin asked the ship girls to wear more clothes before they set off.
The clothes can be taken out and covered now, at least to avoid the embarrassment of exposure.
Portland was the most torn, her coat and skirt were almost burnt, and Su Xin handed her her own Tiancheng robe.
"Sister, wear it. I have Laffite's coat."
"Ah, Commander is so nice to me." Portland hugged the doll and smiled at Su Xin, "Thank you Commander~"
Su Xin waved her hands, took off her robe, and faced the strong sea breeze. She still felt a little cold, so she had to hug Tiancheng's neck tightly and shrank behind Tiancheng.
Tian Cheng noticed the movement of the person behind him and smiled softly. After taking off her robe, she was wearing a thin robe, so Su Xin, who was pressed against her from behind, could even hear the sound echoing in her body, which was quite dull and could even feel
to a slight vibration.
No one said much along the way, and they drove back quietly. The main reason was that the ship girls were tired. After experiencing such a battle that almost endangered their lives, they were really exhausted both physically and mentally.
Rafi held Portland's index finger and followed him all the way. At one point, he suddenly spoke and reported to his commander.
"commander…"
Su Xin raised her head from Tiancheng's back, tilted her head to look in the direction of Lafite, and responded with confusion and a little distress.
"...Um?"
Rafi paused before continuing, "Just now... Sister Portland wanted to sacrifice herself..."
Portland didn't expect that this was what Rafi was talking about, but Rafi had already said it, and she had no chance to stop him. She could only bite her lip and frown, and hugged the doll tighter, looking a little nervous.
Su Xin took a while to understand what Lafite meant. She woke up with a start, supported Tiancheng's shoulders, straightened her upper body, and stared blankly at Lafite and Portland, who was holding her hand.
Portland was obviously a little panicked, and tried to explain, but he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally said, "It was the best solution at the time..."
Su Xin remained silent. She tightened her hands that were supporting Tiancheng's shoulders slightly, causing many wrinkles on Tiancheng's clothes. After a long while, she replied in a low voice.
"I will work hard."
The ship girls were confused, and Su Xin continued talking without waiting for them to ask questions.
"I will try my best to reduce the possibility of you encountering danger. Even if you encounter it..." Su Xin pursed her lips and tightened her face, with the cat ears on her head standing straight, "I will also do my best to bring you all back safely.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, followed by Miss Hood's chuckle. She covered her waist and took a deep breath from time to time, "Hiss... The commander has such determination. It seems that he has grown a lot."
She thought Su Xin would order them to stop going out to sea for a while out of worry and fear, but she didn't. Compared with the way she used to think about whether to let the ship girls attack, it seems that Su Xin didn't do that now.
Therefore, standing still does make one appear more responsible.
"But I hope you can hold on as long as possible. It's just my willfulness." Su Xin lay back on Tian Cheng's back, as if she was a little embarrassed. "I will definitely come..."
Portland breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped his fist around Rafi's and squeezed it, then smiled at Su Xin, "I know, Commander."
Su Xin hummed, as if she remembered something, stood up again and reached out to Portland.
"So I want to punish Sister Portland. I have this idea this time."
Seeing that Su Xin was not angry, Portland felt relieved and agreed readily.
"Okay, Commander, whatever you want to do, I will try my best to do it."
"Give me the doll in your hand."
Portland's smile froze. Although he was still moving, his whole body was as stiff as a sculpture.
"...Commander, what did you say?"
Su Xin was merciless, "Give me the doll."
Portland started to quarrel. She was obviously the older sister, but she acted like a spoiled child in front of her younger sister.
"Come on... Change someone else, Commander..."
No matter how much Su Xin persuaded her, I remained motionless. I never retracted my outstretched hand and stared straight towards the doll in Portland's arms.
Portland couldn't resist, and amid the giggles of the other ship girls, she handed the doll over with trembling hands, as if she was handing over a world.
Su Xin took it and held it in her arms, "Don't worry, I will keep it well and return it to you in a few days."
Portland was petrified, as if he had lost his soul. He changed from a sunny sister-con to a wilted... sister-con. He kept making a small noise and glanced at Su Xin lying on Tiancheng's back from time to time, as if he was looking at a heartless man.
Any normal person probably couldn't stand Portland's resentful look and frequent stares.
But is our little friend Su a normal person?
Not only did she ignore Portland's deadly gaze, she even slept soundly on Tiancheng's back. Tiancheng blocked most of the wind for her. She herself was not wearing thin clothes either. As long as she buried her face, the cold wind would not reach her.
I didn't wake up at all.
Before returning to the coast, Su Xin was awakened by Helena's gentle voice and released from the ship girl status. Everyone chose a more remote place to go ashore. Helena, Cleveland and other ship girls who were not particularly injured went to report the situation. The rest
The ship girls followed Su Xin back to the dormitory first. After they went back to their rooms to clean up, they went out to the repair pool to soak in the hot springs.
Su Xin held Portland's doll in one hand and Tiancheng in the other, and took her to her room.
In the room, Wu Mu hadn't slept yet. He was sitting cross-legged on Su Xin's bed watching TV. The two children, Ruyue and Eldridge, seemed to be getting along well.
Eldridge was obviously very interested in the new partner. He approached without saying a word and stretched out his hand, wanting to pet the cat. Ruyue was timid and shy, but Eldridge didn't seem to feel any pressure, and she also wanted to make friends.
My friend simply grabbed the hem of her clothes to prevent herself from retreating and stretched her head out for her to stroke.
As soon as Su Xin entered the room, she saw Eldridge's standing hair and Ruyue's red face. The three people opposite heard the sound and looked over, obviously happy about her return.
"Why did you come back just now? Where did you go? Did you eat something without taking me with you?" Wu Mu asked casually while stretching her long legs. Seeing that Su Xin was no longer as impatient as she was in the afternoon, she also returned to her usual carefree self.
Su Xin thought about it and shook her head, briefly explaining the whole thing. The others went from being curious at first, to being anxious when they heard about the injury, to finally being relieved that everything was fine. In a short period of time, their moods went up and down like a roller coaster.
Next.
Wu Mu thought about it and decided to go back to Kumano's room. Seeing that he was not there, he thought about it and went to the cafeteria to pack some food, intending to nourish Kumano.
On Su Xin's side, she introduced Tiancheng and Eldridge to each other respectively, and then went to the cafeteria to get food. Before leaving, she specifically told the three people in the room to ask Tiancheng to keep the doll and not to give it to Portland even if he asked.
Just two minutes after leaving the house, Portland peeked in furtively. She greeted the three people first, and then asked the two little ones, "Children, have you seen my doll?"
The two honest children who had just been warned shook their heads at the same time. Portland looked around the room but couldn't find it, so he had to leave in frustration.
Over at the repair pool, Kumano was surrounded, and the ship girls from Suxin Port smiled and discussed with her, "Ms. Kumano... you won't tell others about our commander's specialness, right?"
Kumano swallowed her saliva. Even though her whole body was filled with comfortable hot water that made her feel weak, she kept getting goosebumps. She thought about how she had escaped death today, and about Su Xin's leaping sword, and finally agreed to the ship girls.
"Well, I won't tell anyone."
ps: Another chapter, I will write daily routine tomorrow, good night!
Chapter 87 Thief Portland?
Portland didn't sleep well these days. In fact, she didn't sleep well only at night. Portland also had a hard time when she was awake during the day.
It's not that the injuries haven't fully recovered. After Portland and the other ship girls soaked in the repair fluid overnight, the wounds on her body that made her look ragged were full of life the next morning.
I felt a little tired because I didn't sleep all night, but I'm in good health.
The reason why Portland is always in a bad mood is, of course, related to her dearest sister, Indianapolis. She sewed for a long time, took a long time, used very particular materials, and even took care of the body proportions and size.
The dolls that were perfectly reproduced and based on Indy-chan were confiscated by the Commander!
This is the death of Portland, which was completed in 1933! So far...
Portland counted on his fingers and found it a bit difficult, so he took out his cell phone and did some addition and subtraction on four-digit numbers before he got the answer.
"I have been working on Portland for 87 years!" (Set to 2021 after the Chinese New Year)
"Ah? You mean the construction age? Who cares about that?!"
"How can an 87-year-old senior be ridden on by a little girl?!"
"The most important thing!"
Portland's gradually rising momentum suddenly withered, and he lay on the bed in frustration.
_
"I can't live without Indy-chan... wuwuwu."
It’s been four days since the battle, and it’s also been four days since Portland lost Indy. You don’t even need to count…
Portland looked at his white palms and slender fingers, then lay back down.
"It's been dozens of hours anyway! Indy-chan~ wuwuwu..."
It was already the next morning when Portland came back to the dormitory after coming out of the repair pool. He was still very tired, so he washed up and climbed into bed to sleep. He thought he could sleep until noon, but Portland moved his arm in a daze.
"Empty!?"
He immediately did a sit-up and looked in his arms. The doll was indeed not there. Portland then remembered that the doll had been confiscated.
