Su Xin paused, unsure, "...It's potatoes, right?"
"Uh... this one, this must be the vegetable that turns red after being cooked into soup, right? Otherwise, why is it this color?"
“…I only put spinach in it.”
"This! This is definitely right! It's the flower we saw over there last time, the one that grows slime monsters, right?"
Commander Su was silent for a moment, then used a spatula to scoop out the white food stained with the soup.
"...It's a sausage with a modified knife."
Big Eyed Cute was shocked and gestured incoherently, "Isn't ham...isn't it...isn't it flesh-colored...? Why did it turn white?"
"Yeah... How come it turned white...?" The little commander said coldly as he pushed the flower sausage back into the soup.
Looking at the bubbling mixture, Purification, who had stepped on the landmine three times in a row, swallowed his saliva and stepped back silently.
Su Xin immediately realized the other party's intention, grabbed Da Yan Meng's wrist and pulled him back.
"Where to go?"
"Uh... I, I want to go to the bathroom..."
"I see you're swallowing. Are you hungry? You're going to the bathroom anyway, why not try it first?"
The Purifier was furious, "You also know that I will go to the toilet to vomit after eating!"
The little conductor looked at her with a smile, "Then what can I do?"
"Su, Susu... don't do this, I'm afraid..."
"I can't eat it by myself, can I?"
"Is it okay for me to eat?! Hmm... gulp..."
"How about it?"
"............vomit!"
"Ah, you're back."
The bedridden observer stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the bowl in the conductor's hand, "What did you make today?"
Su Xin took the bedside table and placed the large bowl of blue-black bubbling stuff on it. She then handed over a pair of chopsticks and touched her nose guiltily.
"...spicy hotpot."
"Well, this is my first time eating spicy hotpot like this."
The observer poked with chopsticks, and happened to poke the "white flower" that was said to grow slime monsters, and said firmly:
“This is ham, right?”
Both Jing Dayuanzhong and Chef Su were stunned and asked in unison: "How did you know that?!"
"This looks like a sausage, no matter how you look at it." The observer turned his wrist to show the two people, "Or rather, this is what the sausage made by Susu looks like."
The Purifier wanted to laugh, but when she saw the other party put the lump of food into his mouth without changing his expression and chewed it carefully with a satisfied look, she suddenly wanted to go to the toilet again.
Commander Su Xiao also had mixed feelings.
She gradually developed sympathy, especially when she heard the Octopus Lady praising her cooking skills, the guilt she felt instantly reached its peak.
But the observer himself was enjoying the meal very much, not caring about the taste, and put piece after piece into his mouth.
When only a thin layer of sticky soup remained in the bowl, the observer put down his chopsticks and wiped the blue-black soup from the corners of his lips with a tissue.
"I'm full."
Big Eyed Meng immediately turned on the purification device and swept away the poisonous gas before he dared to lift his olfactory shield and let out a long breath.
Su Xin removed the bedside table and stood beside it for a long time before speaking, "Um...how do you feel now?"
"Hmm? Very good." The observer rubbed his belly. "Do you want to touch it? You should remember where it is. You touched it last time."
The young commander felt embarrassed when he recalled the time when he helped deliver a baby, but he was really curious.
So she moved slowly to the edge of the bed, rubbed her hands to warm them up, and then carefully reached under the quilt.
The tip of my middle finger first poked the soft and elastic part, and then I heard the octopus girl whisper, "That's the leg."
Su Xin nodded, moved up a little and touched the hard bone again. The edge was covered with shallow skin and flesh, which was smooth and warm.
"That's the hip bone. Push it in a little further. Can you humans grow a uterus on the side of your waist?"
Of course not. Commander Su leaned down on the bed again so that he could push his arm in a little further.
This time she touched a soft and flat area, and guessed it was her belly. After groping for a while, she found a small pit, which must be her belly button.
"Press your belly button a little bit lower and see how it goes."
At this moment, Su Xin didn't dare to let her hand leave its current position, for fear of losing her sense of proportion and touching something she shouldn't touch.
She drew a short distance downward from her belly button and pressed the flesh. Just like last time, she could clearly feel a hard object inside.
"Did you feel it?"
Su Xin nodded honestly, "Yeah, but why does it feel bigger than last time?"
The observer looked at the little commander who was lying on the edge of the bed and poking his belly, smiled, and caught a glimpse of the Purifier with a silly expression at the end of the bed.
"...why are you laughing?"
Big-eyed cute girl couldn't control the upward curve of her mouth, "Uh, I remembered something happy, hahahaha"
The octopus lady squinted her eyes and looked at her, "... Could it be that your wife gave birth to a child?"
"Me? I haven't... Anyway, I was sighing. If you had given birth today, I wouldn't have to learn how to make spicy hot pot up close."
Su Xin, who was still confirming the size of the "octopus eggs", suddenly stood up, "...Wait, today?"
"Yes, and it should start soon." The Purifier scratched his head, "Don't you humans say that you have strength only when you are full? I thought you knew that."
The commander who had presumptuously expected to have two or three days to prepare turned back to look at the octopus lady and said, "So, what does 'very quickly' mean...?"
The observer lay back in bed, raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a soothing smile.
"Now."
The observer is very petite, shorter than Su Xin.
She usually wears very little clothes, and exposing her shoulders and legs is commonplace. Her waist, abdomen, and entire back are basically bare, and she doesn't even like to wear socks.
Without the support of fabric, her thinness and fragility become more prominent.
Especially when she was buried in a large area of quilt with her pale face, the contrast was particularly strong, which made the young conductor standing next to her feel very touched.
“It’s the same when I come to visit relatives.”
The observer rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Even if you have old-fashioned ideas, you should get some hot water to help me clean my face instead of describing your menstrual symptoms."
Su Xin leaned in closer to take a closer look, and before the other person's face could blush, she reached out and wiped the forehead that was so close to her.
"Well... I didn't sweat. This time is much better than last time."
"If you want, I can make my body sweat anytime."
"... Better not, you will definitely let me wipe your body."
"Tsk, coward."
The Purifier who was watching videos sitting far away coughed twice because of himself, and pretended to take a breath of air conditioning, "Oh... It's getting colder recently, I have to wear more clothes."
Unlike last time when she lost control of her emotions, the octopus girl did not hit anyone, but asked the commander for water.
Su Xin stood up obediently, poured a cup of warm water and fed the other person a few sips. There was no follow-up request, so she just sat there stupidly.
The observer lay in bed, feeling the condition of his body and watching her quietly.
This time the delivery process was actually not very painful, it was countless times better than the last time, and it was even the easiest time for her since she had condensed the [Data Core] more than a thousand times.
I don’t know if it’s because she has become more relaxed recently or because of the guy in front of her.
The observer was very interested in this human named Su Xin and had already recorded all the data he could find.
She knows all the details about the other person, including the number of hairs, the length of nails, the smoothness of the body, the speed of the heartbeat, etc. at a certain moment.
But she could only observe these. For example, the other party's dazed and confused expression at this moment was something she could not see just by scanning.
Many times observers also want to understand Su Xin more deeply, but this is difficult because mind reading is a skill that even Siren's black technology cannot fully realize.
And Su Xin is a weird person.
Overall, she is just a good girl with a good memory.
But if we break down all the events that have been observed so far, we will find that Su Xin is actually very changeable.
Her emotional intelligence fluctuates. She used to be more straight than straight women, and would treat any non-straight emotional expressions as the truth.
It's a little better now, but below average is still the norm. Occasionally, it will suddenly rise to the master's level and say some more lethal lines.
Her bottom line is also quite flexible. I don’t know if it’s because she has been trained by the ship girls with different personalities, but she has a very weak sense of belonging to the human group.
When she said she liked KanColle, she really was completely biased towards the KanColle camp, and her human identity would not be a factor in her decision-making.
The observer was very concerned about Su Xin. Initially, he planned to hook her up with him and bring her back to the base. Unexpectedly, he ended up sending himself to jail.
"...I sometimes wonder if you are the same as us, but when I think about how easy it was for you to be cheated out of your scientific research data, it seems unlikely."
Su Xin came back to her senses and said, "Ah," "What did you just say?"
The observer shook his head slightly. "Nothing much. I just wanted to ask...what do you think about the matter of 'pregnancy'?"
"Pregnancy? It's a normal biological reproduction process." The little commander thought for a moment, "But yours shouldn't count. It's not alive. You have to deal with it later."
"I mean, have you ever imagined yourself being a mother?"
The purifier who was watching the video outside suddenly started coughing violently, as if he had the flu, and the sound was very loud.
Unfortunately, the observer did not stop, but continued to ask: "Just like your mother raised you, are you looking forward to such a future?"
Su Xin was stunned by the question. She had never really thought about such things.
Firstly, she always had a certain sense of unreality about same-sex reproduction, especially with ship girls, and her inferiority complex was not enough to support her to take on new responsibilities.
Secondly, she actually remembers her childhood, but because she was too well-behaved, she cannot feel the warm atmosphere of the family.
"I take care of the child..." Commander Su rubbed the bed sheet unconsciously, "Well, I can't be a mother, right? I might be more suitable to be a sister.
The observer looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled. "I was just asking casually, thinking you would be curious about this kind of thing."
"That... is not necessary, right? The process of human pregnancy and childbirth is similar. I have read all the relevant information."
"Really? I told you before that in other worlds, there is a method that uses glass beads as a medium to fuse reproductive cells, implant and develop, and finally complete pregnancy."
Su Xin had a strange expression on her face, but she didn't interrupt the Octopus Girl.
So I listened to the other party continue: "The whole process only takes two months. There will be mild pregnancy symptoms during this period. After the pregnancy is complete, it can be expelled."
"Uh…why are you telling me this?"
"Maybe... out of curiosity?"
The observer looked at Su Xin and smiled, "I am very curious about how you are as a mother. I am also very curious about what you will rely on to make choices in an area where you have no experience."
Commander Su didn't understand. She felt that she was herself, but it was the first time that she was being seriously observed. It felt quite strange.
"It's still early for me. Maybe you won't even be able to wait until that day. Besides... um? Wait a minute. Shouldn't you focus on the core now?"
"The core? It's over."
"...Ah? So fast?!"
"You seem disappointed?"
"No, no, it's just... a bit unexpected."
The octopus lady glanced at her and sneered, "Tsk, you coward."
PS: Tomorrow is the monthly update (1/1), and I am going to open a new line. The water is so long, if I don’t open it, I will have to write down how many suckers are on the tentacles of the octopus girl (?)
Chapter 1048 Guess who didn't receive an invitation
The octopus girl's "spawning" process went exceptionally smoothly this time, and Su Xin felt a sense of unreality.
She could never forget the last time she watched the other person suffer so much pain that the other person even asked her to help with the squeeze to induce labor.
