Of course Su Xin was willing, but the matter with Xiao Ye Xing would be difficult to handle if it was delayed for too long.
She had intended to ask Suzuka to help her figure out the pattern when she went to Nagato's house today. After the visit, she would be able to think of a strategy based on the information. But Helena suddenly came over.
Thinking and companionship conflict with each other
The former requires quietness, while the latter requires communication and interaction. Telling everything may be suspected of "cheating in the assessment"
The young commander pondered for a while, and finally turned his head helplessly to ask: "Um... [Nana]."
"Hmm? What's wrong, sister?" [Helena] smiled, charming and well-behaved.
This feeling of being relied on made Su Xin feel more at ease. "Well... I'm going to visit the Nagato family today. We made an appointment yesterday, but I'm not sure about you, so can I...?"
[Helena] moved her legs, rubbing them against the cold skin pressed against her, and answered without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go wherever my sister goes."
Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but then she realized that her palm, which was covering the other person's hand, was sweating a little, probably because she was covering it, and she became nervous again.
This kind of thing is quite embarrassing, especially when the other person has just been tortured by something dirty and may feel sick because of the dampness, heat and stickiness.
But Helena seemed to be in a very good mood and even had the leisure to make a joke.
"Sister? Are you nervous because you haven't held my hand for a long time?"
"Uh... Although I think it's because of the hot weather, it seems... I can't rule out this as a possible reason?"
"Well, I see." Helena turned the little conductor's hand over, wiped it clean with a piece of paper, and then held it tightly. "Then sister should get used to it quickly, okay?"
Su Xin moved her fingers subconsciously, without any deep meaning, but it made Helena, whose palms were slightly itchy, darken her eyes and then silently covered them up.
Long-term separation and excessive longing can easily fuel desire, but she knows that she is not yet a "marriage ship" in the true sense.
Not only is negative-distance contact not possible, but even kissing has to be considered whether it would be too radical and scare the other person.
This awkward situation made Helena feel anxious again. She hoped to finish the mission quickly so that she could come back to cultivate her relationship.
Just think about it from another perspective. Even if she comes back, love is something that cannot be achieved overnight. It is better to carry out the task patiently.
If your mentality is not right, then you can take out half a day like today to spend time with your caring sister. The effect may be better.
"What are you thinking about? Is it time to eat? Well... although you don't rely on this to replenish your energy, why not eat a little? Maybe you will feel better?"
[Helena] came back to her senses, nodded obediently, followed the little conductor and stood up and sat in a nearby seat.
The incident happened suddenly and listening to the story took a lot of time. Yixian had no time to prepare, so he simply heated milk and boiled eggs, and added a combination of meat and vegetable sandwiches to ensure nutrition.
This was a rare opportunity for Helena, who had been away from work for a long time. She chewed the food in small bites and looked very well behaved.
Su Xin seemed to be very fond of this, especially with the image of little Helena in her memory, which made her unconsciously want to take care of the other person.
At the dinner table, this care is shown in the form of "helping to peel eggs."
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
"...Yeah, thank you, sis."
The young commander curled his lips, feeling strangely satisfied. He was about to continue eating his sandwich, but when he looked up, he saw the destroyer with a head full of white hair at the stairs.
Rafi: "_Nervous..."
Su Xin: "Uh...ah, you're awake, go wash up, I'll help you peel the eggs!"
Chapter 934 Reconciliation with Myself
Afraid that a rash visit would disturb her rest, Su Xin sent a message to Nagato after breakfast, and only set out to make sure it was convenient.
She quietly explained the mission to Suzuka, then called her personal maid Dido, took the warm-looking Helena with her, and the three of them walked out of the house together.
On the second day of the holiday, there was basically no change in the lives of the ship girls in the port area. They still slept when they were supposed to sleep and played when they were supposed to play.
When he occasionally met Su Xin and the suddenly appearing [Helena], he was only surprised for a moment, and then raised his hand to greet them very naturally.
After all, for the [META ships], being elusive is the norm. If they react too much, it will be easy for others to see the clues.
Although the imagined "KanColle insider" does not exist so far, it is necessary to remain vigilant. If you let it slip and cause trouble, it will be troublesome.
Su Xin didn't think too much about it, because [META ship] was information that no one else could know.
Even if someone discovered it, the other party would at most be puzzled as to why she had two Helenas in her port area.
The existence of the "ship of the same name" provided her with a very convenient excuse. Holding on to it could solve most of the problems without her having to worry too much about anything.
"How are you, feeling okay?"
Su Xin, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, pointed to the vaguely visible beach and said, "If you want to play, let's go for a walk together when we return later?"
[Helena] looked in that direction and was not very interested in the beach and the tide. In fact, she wanted to see something else rather than basking in the sun.
"..Okay, where's my sister?"
"Hmm? Didn't we say we would go together? Of course I will go with you."
"I mean... do my sisters also change clothes? Like them?"
Su Xin thought about it and was not very willing to change. To her, the swimsuit was really insecure. But looking at the other party's expectant expression, she couldn't say no. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded helplessly.
"….All right."
"Yes! I will remember it well."
"...I don't think it's necessary."
When passing by Ono Xing's house, Su Xin subconsciously glanced at it. The doors and windows were closed, and she didn't know what was going on.
[Helena] actually looked at it carefully for a moment, and finally turned back to discuss with the little commander: "I think I should find an opportunity to apologize to her."
"Hmm? Who is it?"
"I'm the one who always stays with my sister... Well, I wasn't very friendly to her when I was anxious before..."
Su Xin tried to recall it very seriously but couldn't remember it. It was only when Helena briefly mentioned it that she realized it was the time when she was dragged to the Cross-Border Program when they first met.
That time, in order to persuade little Zeppelin to come back, she half actively and half forcedly followed him through time and space, but unfortunately she didn't get anything.
After coming back, Helena deliberately used a cannon barrel to scare her in order to test whether she had lost her fear. However, she didn't get the answer she wanted and left in despair.
I thought there would be no results, but I never thought the follow-up would develop like this
Helena lowered her eyebrows as she recalled with some emotion, "At that time... I kicked her very hard..."
"Ah? You kicked her?" Su Xin was obviously very surprised and tilted her head to look at the other person, "Well... If that's the case, then you really need to apologize..."
"Sorry... I was a little crazy at that time."
"Well, let's stay at Nagato's place for a while, and when she comes back, you can talk face to face."
[Helena] nodded, and used the radar scan to take a last look at the spirit whose lower body was stuck outside the window. She felt guilty but also relieved.
"With her here, my sister will be safe, right...?"
"...In addition to apologizing, you should also thank her."
"knocking"
"Hmm? It's the Commander! The Commander is here!"
Mutsu, who had been kneeling obediently on the futon, suddenly jumped up and ran to open the door under Nagato's helpless gaze.
"Commander, Commander, I've thought of some questions. My sister said you can ask anything you want today!"
"Well, of course. I'll tell you everything I know."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Nagato unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, shook his ears and opened his mouth, "Welcome... uh, for your arrival, I have prepared tea and snacks..."
Helena, who noticed something, narrowed her eyes and said nothing. She just held the commander's hand tightly and smiled harmlessly when the commander looked at her in confusion.
Su Xin really didn't understand. She was so busy coaxing the child that she didn't pay much attention to Nagato's slightly obvious change in expression.
Although he had said before coming that he was not alone, the young commander still briefly explained the situation and then took out the homemade milk that Ye had sent as a gift, fearing that Nagato would mind.
Unfortunately, Nagato didn't really think that much about it. She actually felt more sorry for her impolite behavior than for the unfamiliar guest.
"I'm too happy..."
"Well... I should show enough courtesy when facing guests..."
So the flagship of the Sakura Empire straightened its back silently, and greeted Helena with dignity. After that, there was no further words, and it had to shut its mouth and not speak again.
On the other hand, the lively Mutsu seemed to be two extremes from her sister. She was in high spirits and couldn't stop asking questions about the birds in the sky, the insects on the ground, and the fish in the water.
Su Xin followed suit and explained, from "Why can birds fly" to "Whales are actually not fish". With the high-frequency question-and-answer conversation, others had no chance to get a word in.
Nagato had no choice but to sit there drinking tea, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
She was a quiet person to begin with, and the presence of a relatively unfamiliar person made her even more nervous.
The two people on the other end were chatting animatedly, but she couldn't find a suitable topic.
Fortunately, after an awkward moment, Helena changed her seat and sat next to Nagato. Seeing the other's tense expression, she opened her mouth and closed it with a complicated expression.
This made Nagato curious, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "What did you want to say just now?"
"...Nothing, I just suddenly thought that I was a lot like you a long time ago."
"Is that so?" Nagato didn't quite understand, but didn't ask further.
[Helena] obviously had no intention of explaining too much. She just looked up at the battleship whose sight occasionally drifted towards the commander without him noticing.
She just saw Nagato with a delighted expression on his face, and wanted to test his abilities, but at a certain moment, she was caught off guard by an overly distant memory.
She had seen that expression before. In the courtyard, she seemed to have this expression every day and cared about that person very much.
If it were her old self, she would definitely be jealous and try every means to make herself conspicuous, not wanting others to share her sister's love.
But after experiencing countless separations, now that she has enjoyed the warmth in the morning that was deliberately left out by others, she has no reason to stop these things.
"...hope it goes well, even if you don't quite see yourself yet."
Nagato couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but nodded as if possessed by a ghost, "...I, I will."
Chapter 935 Pollution
[Helena] Came in the morning and left in the afternoon.
Because of Su Xin, this world is different from other experimental fields and is not subject to subjective changes by the [META ship].
They can no longer appear to have disappeared for a brief moment as in past flashbacks, but in fact they have been busy elsewhere for months.
Today's rules apply to all existence, blocking similar cheating techniques. They can go out for a few days.
[Helena] still has tasks to complete. Assuming that the time required to complete them is fixed, the longer she stays here, the more time she will spend away from the port.
Instead of indulging in enjoyment, it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity when Su Xin is busy with summer activities to complete the task. In this way, when the summer activities are over, she might be able to catch the beginning of the grass-growing period.
Before leaving, she had a brief chat with Suzuka, who had just returned from spying. One spoke, and the other wrote.
There was nothing special about the content, with phrases like "protect the commander" taking up most of the article, and the original conflict becoming the least important part.
Suzuka didn't care about that matter. After the conversation, he wrote furiously like a student who had just memorized the answers before an exam and was about to forget them, expressing what he saw in words.
[Helena] took the opportunity to say goodbye, took one last look at the commander, and walked away.
Although Su Xin was worried, she had no reason to stop the other party. Children would always have their own considerations when they grow up. She didn't know anything, so it was better not to interfere.
Besides...she also has important things to do.
"Hmm... do you touch your pants every once in a while? Why?"
The pen on the table floated and moved, and wrote a few crooked Donghuang characters on the paper in an unskilled way.
【Fingers tapping pants】
Su Xin thought for a moment and made a guess, "You mean... every once in a while, she would touch her pants with her fingers, right? Where? The area below her belly, on the left side?"
【Yes】
"What's the frequency? How often do you knock? How many times do you knock each time? Do you say anything when you knock?"
As if being asked, the pen floated quietly for a while, and finally wrote: [No words for 5 seconds, I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for you]
Then the cap on the end of the pen was taken off, and a ghost-like being very obediently covered the pen tip and put it back on the table, then passed through the wall and left the cabin.
Nagato could see it, so he quietly mentioned, "She left."
"Ah, it seems she went to count." Su Xin thought about it and felt a little worried, "She... didn't bring a watch or a cell phone, can it be accurate?"
