"...Master's wife, good morning..."
Yixian, who was watering the flowers in the yard, smiled, put down the kettle and waved at her, "Anchorage, come and see."
The heavy cruiser with a circle on its head stepped forward obediently, stood behind Yixian, and bent down to look in the direction of the finger.
Under the layers of green leaves, a white flower no bigger than a fingernail has bloomed. It has no fragrance, but it makes people feel refreshed.
"I planted it when I just moved, but it didn't bloom until autumn." Yixian seemed quite emotional.
This emotion was something Anchorage could not understand. She only felt that the flowers were small and beautiful, and everything else was too profound for her to understand.
Fortunately, Yixian did not extend it too much, and instead raised his hand to fix Ankrej's hair.
"I heard from Susu that she used to tie your ponytail, but now she is not free, so I will do it instead. Will you be disappointed?"
Anchorage lowered his head slightly and thought seriously, "... a little bit, but Master's wife... is very good, I like it..."
Yixian quickly tied the hairband and touched the other person's head. "Come to think of it, who taught you to call yourself Master's Wife? It shouldn't be Su Su, right?"
"Teacher...? No... it's Lafei... the teacher's wife?"
It was indeed an unexpected answer, but after careful consideration, it was not impossible. After all, White Rabbit was not as selfless as she appeared.
There were a few days when Yixian would hear a knock on the door in the middle of the night. When he opened the door, it was the little commander who came running to take shelter with his pillow.
She didn't ask what the specific situation was, but judging from the other party's mumbling, he probably complained that the rabbit's teeth were too good.
"Just call her by her name. If that doesn't work, just add 'sister.'" Yixian helped to pin on a strawberry hairpin.
Anchorage took a few seconds to react before he said softly, "Yixian...sister?"
"Well, Susu will probably finish work before noon. If you want to hang out with her, you'll have to wait. Do you want me to chat with you or do you want to go out and play?"
When chatting, most of the content is about caring about recent situations. Sisters with a big age (mental) gap can only talk about these things.
Anchorage ate well and slept well. Although he was young, he was smart. He didn't want to stay here and chat awkwardly. He pursed his lips and pointed to the gate of the courtyard.
Yixian understood and beckoned to Dabao who was left at home by Ninghai, "Please take care of her. When you come back, ask her to make you something delicious."
The fist-sized national treasure kicked a firecracker, patted his chest, and confidently climbed up Anchorage's arm to his shoulder, holding his neck and sitting firmly.
"Okay, go have fun, but remember to come over on time for dinner, okay?"
"...(⊙·v·⊙) Yeah."
Anchorage seldom goes out on his own, and the last time he toured the port area, it was under the guidance of Baltimore.
Usually she would stay in the yard, as if immersed in an ocean of security, unwilling to sail out from the warmth.
It wasn't that Anchorage couldn't adapt to the new life, but she had no interest in anything. She only missed her playmates and the teacher who had become much smaller.
Little Santiago would occasionally come to her with toys, flying chess that he had just figured out the rules of, fighting chess that he hadn't figured out, and Santiago
Yes, San Diego is also a toy, responsible for livening up the atmosphere, coming up with some very childish ideas, and even training Anchorage's tolerance for noise.
Thanks to them, Anchorage, who originally complained that the training ground was too noisy, can now go forward to check it out without batting an eyelid.
Today is not a rest day, and there are many destroyers taking practical lessons off the field.
Anchorage doesn't like fighting, and as a heavy cruiser she can't get into school. She brought Dabao here purely because Xuefeng's voice is too loud.
"Xiang, get out of the way!"
"Ah, you are so stupid. As expected, I still have to rely on Master Yukikaze!"
"Hehe... I am the mouth of the Xiangrui ship!
Teacher Nimi, who was wearing glasses, held up a sign at the sidelines. "The group [Snow Wind Master and his little follower] was eliminated, and the group [Sleeping] won."
Xuefeng stumbled and tripped her teammate Xiang. She didn't bother to help him up and pointed at the drowsy Eldridge and Nicholas on the opposite side to protest to Z23.
"Why are you talking nonsense?! The iron-blooded sister Frederick the Great also won in this way before. I didn't get hurt at all, so how could I lose in this way?"
Z23: "...The actual combat class is about the number of hits you receive. I told you that a long time ago, didn't I? Your skills are not applicable."
Xuefeng: “QA Q…”
Anchorage leaned against the railing and looked into the field. A group of short children were laughing and making noise, while two teachers were trying to persuade them from both sides.
"...Are you jealous?" The voice beside my ear sounded a little strange.
Anchorage turned his head and looked over. "Xiao Hai...Lenna."
[Helena] had a complicated expression, but it only lasted for a moment before being suppressed. "...Just call me [Helena] from now on."
"Why?"
"...I'm not a kid anymore."
Anchorage couldn't understand it and was distressed for a long time. Finally, he raised his hand to grab the panda on his shoulder, held it in his palm and handed it to his playmate in front of him who had changed a lot.
"Let's play together...?"
[Helena] looked at the chubby and silly national treasure, then looked at Anchorage with a sweet smile, and finally sighed.
"Let's go, let's go find my sister."
"...teacher?"
"You want to play with her, and I feel at ease when I see her. This is the only thing that has never changed between us."
.Don't go
"Um?"
Anchorage pursed his lips and looked serious, "Today, Anchorage... will take you... out to play."
[Helena] was stunned and glanced at the panda again
"...Well, it's all up to you then."
"...Um!"
Chapter 1040 Female Spider
Anchorage originally planned to take a look and then leave, and find a cool and shady place to stay quietly while waiting for dinner.
Now that there is a "little friend" and she has agreed to play with him, her original idea of being alone naturally has to change.
The destroyers were having a class, but the two were unable to participate due to the type of ship they were on. Listening was boring and they would soon get bored.
The first reaction was of course to go find Teacher Su. After the road was blocked, Anchorage thought about taking Helena to see the fat cat.
In her impression, nothing is more attractive than a cute furry cat.
Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it is better to let your grown-up friends see the cute creatures that you never saw in the yard before.
The place where Fat Orange appeared, she went there with Baltimore last time
I still remember the route, so Anchorage seemed quite calm as he walked in front and led the way.
[Helena] followed her and turned off the powerful radar, so as not to hurt the little girl's heart by showing that she knew everything.
I turned along the road and passed the greenery, said hello to the chirping birds that were walking towards me, saw butterflies flying not far away, and was startled by a bird that suddenly flapped its wings on a branch...
After leaving the radar, everything has become unknown. It’s not that I’m looking forward to it, but it’s quite novel.
In the past, in order to grasp the situation, Helena's radar was always in a permanent state, scanning everything nearby at all times.
Biology, architecture, things...
She knows everything within range, such as which road is the quietest and who she will meet in which direction, without using her eyes.
Now that the omniscient perspective has been temporarily turned off, Helena is not quite used to it, but she also finds it interesting for the first time.
"I can only have the chance to experience this here in a safe place, right...?"
"...ah."
Helena, lost in thought, quickly raised her eyes and looked at Anchorage, who had a conflicted expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
The sharp-eyed Anchorage pointed to a place in the green belt. It was under a tree where the sun could not reach directly. The plants were short and green.
"Well, what's going on there?" [Helena] couldn't see anything unusual.
Anchorage led her forward and found the butterfly entangled in a spider web between the stems and leaves. Its wings, which accounted for the largest part of its body, could not move, and its delicate limbs were vainly paddling in the air.
"...beautiful...can't fly..."
[Helena] Suddenly realized, but not touched, "The strong prey on the weak, that's the law of survival."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Anchorage still had no intention of moving, so she sighed inwardly and cut the tangled spider silk, allowing the butterfly to break free and struggle to fly away.
"...Ah, it flew...?"
The heavy cruiser stared blankly at the victim going away, then lowered its head to look at the messy spider web and the disappointed hunter.
"Let's go? Aren't you going to take me out to play?" [Helena] didn't take it seriously
But Anchorage still stood there, searching his pocket for a long time, and finally took out a candy that Yixian had given him.
She peeled off the candy wrapper and supported herself on the ground with one hand, pinching the round candy ball and trying hard to stick it on the spider silk.
The fragile spider silk could not bear the weight of the candy at all. As soon as Anchorage let go, the already broken spider web had another hole.
Having lived through a long time, Helena could not understand the child's train of thought. She looked at the helpless heavy cruiser for a few breaths and finally asked:
"Are you afraid it's hungry?"
"...beautiful...many friends, it...only has one...will be happy if it eats candy."
It was like a childish fantasy that had been beautified countless times, and it was completely different from the reality of entanglement, injection of venom, and finally sucking out the juice to have a full meal.
The predator became the ugly duckling that was separated from the group, which the prey could not understand, so they struggled with all their might to get back to the group.
[Helena] I don’t know whether I should tear up this little fairy tale. As I hesitate, the shattered spider web in front of me inexplicably turns into a radar grid.
The grid was neat and regular, vast and unbreakable, firmly imprisoning the struggling peach-colored butterfly in the center.
The delicate limbs, twisting waist and terrified expression all show the other person's desperate situation.
And she... is the hideous female spider
As the prey slowly approached, she was startled by her sharp mouthparts and rough eight legs. Helena shook her head and took a deep breath to calm herself.
Anchorage was still trying, squatting on the ground, searching for something.
[Helena] came to her senses, but for some reason, a sense of panic arose in her heart.
"..Anchorage?"
"Um…?"
"You...you also think it's wrong, right?"
Anchorage paused while sifting through the grass, stared at the remnant of the spider web floating in the wind, thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
Um. "
"What if it just wants to keep the butterfly that is most important to it?"
"Let's play together... Don't be violent..."
"But the butterfly may not be able to accept it, and it doesn't want the butterfly to have other friends."
"Hmm...send me something delicious..."
[Helena] came back to her senses from the trance, secretly laughing at herself for being so cute because of the other person. How can a weasel wish a happy new year to a chicken?
Would the party that is being treated as food accept this? They would definitely unite and drive it away, right?
She is different from the other shipgirls in the port area. She has experienced a lot, so she can't go back to her innocent and kind appearance.
Just like there are differences between spiders and butterflies, no matter how it disguises itself, it will never be able to learn it.
[Helena] loves jealousy because she wants to hold her lover
Whether it is tying or wrapping, it is better to be like a spider, wrapping your beloved treasure into a cocoon and not showing it to anyone.
Radar is her net. The little butterflies live on her grid. Who they meet and what they do are all under her control.
This is a sense of security, and this is the slightly pathological way they get along with each other.
"We can...get down from the sticky ground..." Anchorage squatted on the ground with his knees wrapped around his chest, looking at the group of ants. "They look very similar...so...we can make friends."
