Atago, who was originally fiddling with photos, squinted her eyes and glanced at the back of the human girl. She curled her lips in an ambiguous way and then looked at her little commander.
"Is Susu already so familiar with her?"
"Hmm? Not really... When you guys were out doing something, I asked Sister Yixian to prepare a lunch for her, otherwise it wouldn't be good for her to always eat sashimi... What's wrong?"
"No, of course not." Compared to the aircraft carriers of the same faction who only know how to fight and kill all day long, Atago's femininity is much higher. "I just think... forget it, are you free to play with us today?"
Su Xin looked at Atago who seemed to have not finished talking, and then looked at Kaohsiung who had a calm expression but nervous eyes, "Well... Of course, it's better to say that I am the one with the most free time?"
Atago hooked her arm around Kaohsiung's and chuckled, "That's good, my sister and I will go over first, okay?"
"it is good."
After watching the two sisters leave, Su Xin turned to face Nagato and Mutsu who had been waiting for a long time. After greeting them countless times, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Sorry, I kept you waiting. Do you want to come in and sit down?"
Without waiting for Nagato to answer, his sister Mutsu excitedly agreed, "Great, great, we brought some daifuku, huh? Even though it was given to us by someone else, it's delicious!"
"Well, let's go then?"
"Okay~ I have many, many questions for the Commander!"
"Mutsu, remember what I reminded you... Never mind, Commander, sorry to bother you."
"Ah, everyone is here, Purifier, I was just looking for you." Su Xin, who entered the door first, looked at the four people sitting around and felt that their expressions were too serious. "What's wrong?"
Yixian subconsciously glanced at the silent observer, and Tiancheng took the opportunity to continue, "Nothing, just chatting casually, and we'll go out when the sun gets bigger."
The young commander was stunned. "What's the logic behind this?"
Amagi chuckled and shook his head, "Because it would be more fun to play in the water if the sun is bigger, right? Come, sit over here, Nagato-sama. It might be a little crowded, sorry to bother you."
"...No, I don't care about that."
Nagato was quite perceptive, but it seemed that she didn't have much. She took Mutsu by the hand and sat down with the little commander, just separating them from the observer with a cold face.
The Purifier who was eating peanuts nearby seemed to be tickled by the joke. He suddenly covered his mouth and took a deep breath, attracting everyone's puzzled gazes.
"Ahem... I'm sorry." Da Yan Meng paused for a moment and tried to make amends, "I... uh, I suddenly remembered something happy."
This joke has been played out to death, and the three people who just sat down didn't seem like they would join in the conversation, so the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
The Purifier heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, because she really hadn't figured out what that thing was. If she said anything nonsense, she would probably be severely spanked by the distressed Octopus Girl.
Su Xin waited for a long time but got no response. She knew that he was just a fool. She shook her head and changed the subject. "Since you're back, I'll go change... Hmm? Why is my coat with you?"
The observer moved his arm subconsciously, and the friction sound of polyester fiber, different from that of cotton, was heard, and then stopped abruptly.
"...I picked it up. It's a little cold."
"Oh, yes, you were there too." The little conductor was embarrassed with his belly exposed, "Then just wear it. I'll go upstairs to change clothes."
Tiancheng immediately raised his hand and pressed the person who wanted to get up against Su Xin's thigh, "It's a rare holiday, so you should wear it. Don't be shy, it looks good."
"Uh...Yi Xian?"
Yixian smiled and nodded, "I still agree with Tiancheng's opinion. It is indeed rare to see someone dressed like this. I want to look at him for a while longer."
Since both bridesmaids said so, Su Xin had no choice but to sit back on the sofa, silently closing her legs a little, and folding her hands to cover her belly button.
Tiancheng and Yixian have seen this action many times, basically during the rest period after reaching the summit, and in most cases it was accompanied by red cheeks and shy expressions.
But for others, it was quite novel that their little commander would show such an expression.
Considering the other party's extremely thin skin, the playful Purifier did not make fun of him. Instead, the curious Mutsu leaned forward and asked:
"Commander? Are you afraid that wind will get into your stomach? My sister told me that this is just a lie for children!"
Nagato, who hadn't been able to prevent the problem, hurriedly spoke out to stop it: "Michi, Mutsu!"
"Eh——? Can't you even ask this...? You clearly said you wouldn't stop me..."
Su Xin was a little embarrassed when she heard that. She quickly sat up straight and cleared her throat. "Well, of course you can ask. I can tell you anything I know."
Mutsu's eyes lit up, "Really?! Great, then I think
"I thought, why don't we take this opportunity to play a game?" Tiancheng suggested casually, "Draw poker cards. The one with the highest card can ask the one with the lowest card a question, and they must answer honestly. How about that?"
The observer lowered his eyes and curled up the five fingers tucked into his sleeves. The Purifier and Mutsu were afraid of being bored, so of course they agreed. The slightly nervous Nagato had to nod at his sister's request.
Yixian tilted her head and looked at Tiancheng with a slightly worried look on her face. Being smart, she naturally knew who this game was for.
She was not worried that the little commander would suffer a loss. Instead, she was more afraid that the observer would ask too directly, causing her little turtle to be shocked and shrink back into its shell.
You have to know that after the attack, the only ones who can take care of Su Xin at home are Xiao Beifa and the two Sirens. If the relationship really becomes strained, it will be a loss.
Tiancheng naturally knew it, but she thought more deeply.
In terms of affection, the Observers and Purifiers helped the port area a lot, and even dealt with the aftermath many times, cleaning up the mess for the small commanders who were at risk of being exposed. Regardless of their purpose, these incompetent ship girls really owed them a lot.
Logically speaking, speaking openly can solve most problems most of the time. Su Xin's several relationships were all achieved through serious and straightforward approach.
And judging from the observer's appearance, the level of self-denial is already very deep, and it is obvious that both his mentality and emotions are not right.
Instead of letting the situation continue to develop and suddenly explode at some point, it is better to put the bomb out in advance. Whether to try to cut the cord or stay away from it can be discussed later.
As for Su Xin, these debts of love are all directed at her. Only with her present can the problem be progressed. If other people just get together and chat, nothing will be achieved.
"Besides... it's not right to interfere in matters of love, even if it's a marriage ship..."
Tiancheng sighed secretly in his heart, then smiled and looked at Su Xin, "How about it? Do you want to play?"
"Well, it's just the truth, of course I can do it, we can just wait for the sun to rise." The little commander was full of confidence.
The Purifier took out the cards, shuffled them casually, laid them out in a row, and then clapped his hands to call everyone's attention back, allowing everyone with different thoughts to draw cards.
"Have you finished drawing? Don't cheat, okay? I'll count to three, and everyone will flip together."
"all......"
"three!"
PS: I'll just write them mixed up, and I'll delay the side quests for a few days before opening them.
Chapter 909: Truth 2 (Together
Purifier: "I'm 10!"
Observer: "5."
Yixian: "Um... it's 3."
Amagi: "8 of Spades."
Mutsu: "It's 6! That's great... Where's your sister? How much is it?"
Nagato: "I am 2. Is this the smallest number?"
Su Xin: "The smallest number is A, right? By the way, I also have 3, so this round..."
The Purifier chuckled twice, puffed out his chest, and looked at the slightly nervous Sakura Empire flagship with a heroic and confident look, "Ahem... Sorry, this is the rule of the game. So... please listen to the question!"
"...question?"
"If you were to rate your commander's character, how many points would you give him out of ten!?"
Nagato originally thought that it would be some personal questions about himself, such as "What is your weakness?", "What is your secret?", etc. He really didn't expect to be asked this.
Looking at the Purifier who began to count down with great interest, and then looking at the person concerned who was waiting for the answer, Nagato, who was being urged, didn't even have time to think carefully before the answer came out of his mouth.
"Nine...eight points!"
"Hmm? You wanted to say nine points at first, right?" The Purifier lay back on the sofa, still unsatisfied, "Why did it suddenly become lower? Oh... I know, Susu has done something bad recently!"
Su Xin:?
Nagato waved his hand to reject the suggestion, unconsciously letting go of his airs, "I, I didn't mean that, but no one is perfect. If I were to say too much, my words would lose credibility."
"Then nine points is fine, why did it suddenly drop?"
"Well... I think that as a leader, the commander should maintain the corresponding dignity, but at the moment, the commander is too easy-going..." Nagato didn't dare to look at Su Xin after he finished speaking. He lowered his head and was nervous for a while.
Su Xin herself didn't think it was a big deal. She was always willing to accept suggestions from people close to her and wouldn't hold a grudge even if they had different opinions.
As for Nagato's description of her, she didn't feel it was real.
The main reason is that the period of idleness is too long. As a human being, the commander has few opportunities to go to the battlefield in person. Most of the time he is signing documents and dealing with family matters.
As for dignity...she really doesn't have it, nor does she really need to have it.
Of course, Nagato, as the leader of the camp, is weak and frail. Apart from his age and seniority, the only thing he can rely on is his prestige as a leader.
It is actually normal to have similar thoughts, not to mention that there are so many disobedient "thorns" at home. If you really want to be more easy-going, you won't be able to control them.
"Well, thank you for giving me such a high score. I passed then?" Su Xin said, raising her hand to draw the second card. "I hope I can get a big card this time."
Everyone followed suit, which made the slightly nervous Nagato breathe a sigh of relief, and he continued the game with trepidation.
The one with the largest number this time is Mutsu, and the one with the smallest number is Yatsen.
The child asked a very harmless question, why is your cooking so delicious? Yixian’s answer was that practice makes perfect and it’s just average.
In the third round, it was Amagi's turn to ask Nagato. She didn't set a trap for him and simply asked about his hobbies. After getting the answer "playing chess", the game ended smoothly.
The fourth and fifth innings...
The game progressed very quickly, but except for Mutsu and Su Xin, no one was really enjoying the process, resulting in the atmosphere being not very joyful but rather a bit dull.
As the little commander at the center of the vortex, he always escaped the fate of being at the bottom. Instead, it was the Octopus Girl who was caught by Su Xin and questioned a few questions.
Su Xin: "Are you used to living in the port area?"
Observer: “Yeah.”
Su Xin: "In the ten days we've been together, are there any habits of mine that you can't stand?"
Observer: “No.”
Su Xin: "Are you really wearing my clothes because you're cold?"
Observer: “No.”
It seemed as expected, but he also felt that something was out of control. The increasingly suspicious commander did not choose to ask further questions, but quietly started the next round.
Unfortunately, the luck that had helped her escape from the bottom so many times finally failed this time. She turned over the cards, and the gorgeous Ace of Spades announced the end of the game.
The number of observers was not large. Mutsu looked at his "2" and secretly rejoiced. The others were basically hovering in the range of 4-8. Only the Purifier, relying on the little king of the same color, won the right to ask questions.
"Aha! It's finally your turn!" Big Eyed Cute quickly glanced at the observer, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Question! In your opinion, how big is the gap between ship girls and non-ship girls?!"
Su Xin was stunned. She obviously hadn't expected the question to be so broad, but since it was a truth or truth game, she had to answer it seriously.
"If your "non-shipgirls" refer to humans... the macro ratio is about 7:3?"
The Purifier then asked, "What if I'm referring to other beings?"
"It depends on the relationship." Commander Su Xiao thought for a moment, "If they are close, of course it's half and half. If they are very unfamiliar and distant, the ship girl will be more important."
After Su Xin finished speaking, she spoke again before the Purifier, "In fact, I can go on to elaborate. At any time, the ship girls in the port area are always number one. The gap between them and the others can be as large as ten to as small as fifty-fifty. It's all possible."
"Oh, okay, so if I switch jobs and join you, you will treat me well?" The Purifier came to a strange conclusion.
The young commander found it funny and said, "It's as if I'm abusing you all day long."
Big Eyes Meng was satisfied. While he was busy preparing to continue, he secretly kicked the observer who was still in a trance, so that the other party would not be exposed because of his dull expression.
The observer turned around and glanced at the cards with identical patterns on the back, and almost figured out the numbers corresponding to all the cards.
In the next few rounds, whenever Su Xin drew the bottom card, she would deliberately choose a card with a large number so that she could get the right to ask questions, otherwise she would choose a card with a middle number to avoid being at the bottom.
Considering that Su Xin was dull but not stupid, the questions she asked were basically very convoluted, and it was even impossible to figure out their meaning.
Observer: "Your favorite animal."
Su Xin: "Uh... cat? Or a mammal cub?"
Observer: "What do you think about adoption?"
Su Xin: "Hmm, a pet? Is that a good thing? If there are no rigid requirements in all aspects, adopting one is also a very good way."
Observer: "What do you think of Dafeng?"
Su Xin: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Once you get used to her and ignore those embarrassing moments, she's actually a very nice person."
Observer: "How often do you talk to Zeppelin?"
Su Xin: "Well, we'll chat all night, and we may not have time to meet during the day."
