Royal Ark carefully looked at the commander's expression and found that there was no suspicion or disdain in his expression. He then relaxed and imitated him, changing his posture and sitting with his knees hugged.
Su Xin rested her chin on her knees and looked at the chattering children who were building sand castles not far away.
The Royal Ark, which had been taking pictures non-stop at the beginning, became much more restrained now that there were people around. Most of the time, it focused its attention on the young commander, fearing that the latter would have some instructions.
But after waiting for a long time, she still heard nothing. She could only speak nervously, "Um... Commander?"
"Oh, sorry, I was in a daze, what's wrong?"
"It's just...it's just that I'm on standby here, can you...can you not tell Hood...?"
Su Xin was stunned. "Oh, are you afraid that she will say that you are stubborn?"
Royal Ark nodded with a bitter face, "I have been taught by her... that I will abide by the spirit of chivalry and not do anything that would bring shame to the royal family. If she knew that I came to the beach again..."
"Well, I'll say it anyway."
"...I see. Then I should go back by myself—"
"I will say that it is my task to give you overtime and I will not pay you overtime. I will force you, the PE teacher, to take good care of everyone here. Otherwise, I will deduct your salary. How about that?"
Royal Ark was stunned on the spot, then raised his hand as if for a heartfelt handshake, but halfway through he realized his reputation and silently retracted his hand.
"...Thank you, but Commander, don't you think my behavior is... disgusting?"
"Which ones do you mean?"
"Just... coming here on his own, secretly taking pictures of everyone... and always saying some very... weird things..."
Su Xin raised her eyebrows, "Oh~ You also secretly took photos, show me!"
Royal Ark: Z(q°A°)
The pink and white hand stretched out in front of her, and four fingers lightly hooked, signaling her to hand over the things quickly.
Royal Ark, who was in the late stage of deportation, shouted "no" in his heart, but handed the camera over swiftly and waited for the sentence to be announced.
"Hmm... the photos are very good. I feel like you have a natural talent as a photographer."
"......Huh?"
Su Xin browsed through the images in the camera one by one. "Except for a few that are a little blurry, the others are of very high quality. Have you learned how to do this?"
"Uh... no, practice makes perfect?"
"Well... you can't say this in front of others, okay? They will definitely think you are a pervert."
Royal Ark shrank his head, thought about it and felt something was wrong, and asked hurriedly: "Then, then what the commander means is... in front of you, it's okay?"
After quickly scanning all the photos and finding nothing wrong, the little commander turned to look at the Royal Ark, "That's what I mean."
"Then... Commander, don't you think that what I did is...?"
"I actually trust you very much. I don't think you really have any bad intentions. If you can restrain your expression and your inner voice a little, everyone will believe you. Well, this is not a shortcoming."
Royal Ark scratched his head, "Ah... I just couldn't help myself..."
Su Xin nodded, returned the camera and stood up, "You can't just say this in front of others, okay?"
"I understand!"
"Well, then I'll give my sister another task."
Royal Ark held the camera nervously, "What is it?"
The young commander smiled at the aircraft carrier, then ran towards the destroyers that were building sand castles. After a few simple explanations, everyone clutched the small shovels in their hands and turned back to look at the stunned Royal Ark.
"Eggplant~"
"click"
Royal Ark subconsciously pressed the shutter and was awakened by the slight sound. She looked up and saw that the young commander not far away had already escaped from the crowd, waved to her and left.
She waved her hands stupidly, then lowered her head and pulled out the image on her camera. It was a photo of Commander Zhang and the expelled sisters.
Not everyone's expressions were smiling. For example, the very competitive Mutsuki was still stealing glances at other people's sand castles, and the timid Uzuki looked very cute in front of the camera.
But the Royal Ark is extremely satisfied with this, because it is very story-telling and real, and more importantly, everyone in it is relaxed and natural when facing themselves as a "photographer".
"Commander, you are my God..."
Chapter 913: Smart Beach Life 4
"Left, a little to the left!"
"You've gone too far, Ayanami, you've gone too far, go back a little bit, there's the sea over there!"
"Yes, yes, right in front of us. Quickly activate your skill and deliver this five-spice strike!"
After being blindfolded, Ayanami was helped by everyone to spin around on the spot for several circles. Then she raised the wooden stick in her hand and chopped straight down.
"Boom!"
It felt solid, made a dull sound, and definitely hit the target, but I didn't know if I succeeded in splitting the watermelon with this strike.
The cheers came from far away and were a familiar sound. Ayanami felt much more at ease. She raised her hand to take off the handkerchief covering her eyes and looked down at the watermelon a few steps away.
On the clean picnic blanket, a crack was created on the surface of a basketball-sized watermelon, and a small amount of flesh mixed with juice splashed out, a pleasing red color.
"..it should be...very delicious." The former ghost thought subconsciously.
Before she could turn around to look for him, a warm body rushed straight into her back, two arms wrapped around her neck, and words of praise came out one after another.
"Ayanami is awesome! I knew you could control your strength, unlike Nimi-chan, who blew the watermelon in one blow. What else could we eat..."
Z23, who followed along, sighed, "You told me to throw the javelin down with all my strength. I didn't expect you to throw a watermelon..."
"If it's not a watermelon, then it could be a person?" After rubbing against Ayanami's javelin enough, he jumped off her back and turned to argue with his friend, "Xia Tian, Chong Ying, blindfolded, this is splitting a watermelon!"
“…Uh, that’s true. Sorry, I don’t know much about this.” Z23 felt embarrassed.
Changdao walked straight to the watermelon and squatted down. He paused and complained silently: "...You didn't even refute the stick hitting people? And Lafite, if you eat without washing your hands, you will be scolded by Susu, right?"
The white rabbit, who was about to pick up the fruit pulp to eat, tilted his head, thought about it and realized that it was true, so he took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands and continued to pick up the fruit pulp.
After all, the tablecloth underneath is clean, so it would be a pity to just throw it away. And it must be said that Lafite, who loves red wine, has a good impression of foods of the same color.
"Although... it's sweet..." Rafi licked his fingertips after eating, exchanged glances with the little conductor under the parasol not far away, and looked away silently, "...I didn't eat it."
Nagashima: “Who would believe that?”
The little swan who came to visit licked his lips and said, "Well, well...how about we help everyone take the watermelon back? We can cut it up and eat it..."
Javelin argued for a long time before he raised his voice and replied, "Sure. Oh, by the way, let me see if I still have the fruit knife I brought."
Z23 shook his head helplessly, "You left it here with me, saying that comic books take up too much space. Did you forget?"
"Ah... Nimi-chan, you should have said it earlier, but isn't it too troublesome to move back? Otherwise... let's just cut it?"
"I think it's okay. After all, if I move it back and cut it, it might dirty the picnic blanket they're sitting on. It's better to cut it and send it back."
"Yes, yes, yes~ Nimi-chan has thought of everything~" Javelin spread his hands, took the fruit knife handed over by the other party, and handed it to Ayanami, "You should do it Ayanami-chan, don't make it too big, okay?"
Ayanami blinked, picked up a weapon that was dozens of times smaller than her own ship-cutting sword, squatted down and began to divide the melon with a little awkwardness.
This feeling was quite strange, at least it couldn't be experienced in the gendarmerie. Although everyone around her was chattering non-stop, she felt a sense of happiness rising.
She looked up at Lafite who was squatting opposite her waiting for food, thought for a moment, cut a small piece and handed it to him, "...try it..."
Rafi took the finger-length watermelon, hesitated for a moment and handed it to Ayanami's mouth, "...You eat it first."
"Need not……"
"...Good things should be shared. This is what the commander taught Lafite... Um, here? Zhejiang?"
Ayanami lowered her eyes to look at the beautiful red flesh, opened her mouth and took a bite. The sweet juice after being chilled refreshed her. "...It's a philosophy, and...it's delicious."
Rafi: "Well, that's good..."
Javelin: "Ah - Ayanami-chan and Laffite-chan are having an affair, and they didn't even bring me along. How heartless!"
Nagashima: "Wait, I haven't taken a picture yet! Let the phone eat first, don't grab it!"
Little Swan: "Wow... not well yet...?"
"It's so lively over there."
"They are just little kids, so it's better to say... this is the right way."
Azuma looked at Izumo who was secretly rubbing his fingers, smiled faintly, tucked his hair in, and looked at the little commander who was holding his chin in a daze, "Commander, do you regret not going to play with us?"
"Hmm? No, no, I just think this is great." Su Xin said, looking at Chu Yun, "Sister Chu Yun, I thought you would be interested in this kind of game."
Izumo, who was sitting with his knees bent and his elbows resting on his shoulders, was dismissive. "It's just a child's game. If I go, I'll disturb them, right?"
"So that's why...? Sorry, I thought it was... because I broke too many tables last time... I, I was too shallow..." The shy Ibuki accidentally revealed the truth.
Izumo's expression froze. He didn't respond. He just picked up the drink and took a sip. He didn't want to recall the embarrassing incident a while ago.
Su Xin thought it was funny, but she didn't think much about it. She turned to look at the flat-panel light-flying Longxiong, "What about you? You're not going? You should get along well with everyone."
“Humph, you are definitely mocking me, right? Just wait and see, as long as I practice diligently, I will definitely grow taller... No, I’ll get stronger!” The little dragon girl shook her tail and hummed, leaning against the deck.
The little commander responded with a few "hmm" and "ah" words, but she stared at the fat and big dragon tail without blinking. She had touched it when they first met, and the smooth touch was wonderful.
Longxiong reacted very quickly, immediately jumped away from where he was standing, and ran to stand next to Zuikaku, "Don't even think about it!"
Su Xin was helpless and looked away to Zuikaku, "Speaking of which, where is Sister Shokaku? She's not going somewhere with Sister Akagi again... er, to exchange feelings, right?"
"I don't know..." Zuikaku sighed and shook his head, "The phone call was not connected... I just went to buy some watermelons, and when I turned around, my sister was gone."
"...How many? Are they planning to cut only one? That's not enough... Do you have the others?"
"No, that's the last one, Commander." Zuikaku spread his hands, indicating that there were no more in stock in his space. "The previous ones were smashed by the Royal Firefly, um... with her forehead."
"...broken?"
"Well, it's broken and I can't eat it."
Su Xin glanced at the dyed beaches not far away, and then she understood where the difference in color between the sands came from.
However, it is not uncommon for children to not be able to control the strength and smash the watermelon with one hit... Just have fun, everything else is secondary.
"Oh yeah, why don't I see Noshiro and I-13?"
Azuma thought for a moment, "That kid I-13, is she going out to play with the big bluefish? As for Noshiro... she seems to be preparing something, so she should be here for a while."
The young commander subconsciously glanced at the village and said, "I see... I'm a little curious."
"Really? Then why not look forward to it?"
"Well, okay."
Chapter 914: Smart Beach Life 5 (Together
She said she was looking forward to the discipline committee member who seemed to have prepared something, but Su Xin waited and waited under the parasol, but Nodai never showed up.
Due to the prestigious invitation, she had to attend a tea party hosted by the royal family in the afternoon, and also had to find time to meet with Ono An to see what the other party was planning.
There was a "beach fishing" trip for three people before the evening, and she needed to accompany the sisters Nagato and Mutsu to participate, and finally avoid the returning tide of the wandering ship girls and go home for dinner.
It can be said that Su Xin's schedule today is packed with no gaps. If she stays in one place for too long, her goal of traveling throughout the camp will become difficult.
So after sitting cross-legged and eating watermelon with everyone from Sakura Empire, Su Xin sent a message to Noshiro.
He left White Rabbit, who would sleep with him at night, here so that she could spend more time with the other three members of the Big Three while he went to the next place.
Compared to the lively holiday atmosphere of Sakura Empire, the members of Iron Blood seem to be more casual.
Under the huge black and red parasol, there were a few ship girls in swimsuits sitting there. There was basically no verbal communication between them, and they were all doing their own things.
When Su Xin came over, it was Frederick the Great who first spotted her because of his height advantage and wide field of vision. He waved his hand and said, "Welcome, my child. The seat has been reserved. Come and sit down."
"Yes, thank you." Commander Su sat in the middle under the gaze of several people and greeted little Zeppelin first. "Ruyue is building a sand castle over there, don't you want to help?"
I did plan to go over and take a look later, so the little Zeppelin who didn’t choose to grow bigger shook his head and said, “If I help her too much, it will be hard for her to treat me as her peer.”
"Well, you are not her age, right?"
Little Zeppelin raised his eyebrows, his young facial features making this expression, looking quite clever, "Do you think I'm too old?"
"I dare not. Don't misinterpret my meaning." Su Xin smiled and touched the head of the aircraft carrier.
Little Zeppelin, who has come to terms with things, lets her do whatever she wants, but he doesn't want her to be too intimate with him in public, as that would give people a chance to talk nonsense, otherwise she would definitely try to take advantage of him.
