"Okay, hurry up, Mommy Su will be off work soon!"
"Eh? Well, it will be ready soon!"
"You said there are a lot of fun activities... What are they exactly?"
"I don't know, but that's what Mother Su told me anyway."
"Hmm... then it should really be there." Guanghui walked towards the command room with his sister, carrying a small bag. "It shouldn't be the amusement park, right? We usually play there."
Kewei shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, otherwise Mother Su wouldn't have specifically mentioned it."
Guanghui held onto his sling and thought, "Interesting activities... Will she prepare a lot of dishes made by Su's mother herself for us?"
"I don't know... I've never eaten Su Mama's cooking."
"I do not have either…"
The two of them were quite frustrated as they thought about it, but fortunately another voice answered their questions.
"Mom can't cook. Tiancheng's mom said so."
Guanghui and Kewei were both stunned and turned to look. As expected, it was the fox sister and fox sister from Sakura Empire.
"Tiancheng, you're here too?" Guanghui happily ran to hold Tiancheng's arm, "Akagi-? What's wrong with you? You seem... not very happy?"
Akagi, who was usually extremely arrogant and lawless, was now pursing his lips and hugging his chest in a sulky manner.
Tiancheng glanced at her and said, "It's because she always asks her mother to do the same thing. She won't listen to my advice, so..."
Guanghui: “Just…?”
Tiancheng showed his steamed bun-sized fist, "Well, a small punishment but a big warning."
Akagi snorted. She obviously had no intention of changing her chuunibuntu statement that she called her own mother her subordinate.
Kewei didn't care about this. She hurried over and asked, "Mom, can't you cook? Mommy didn't tell me?"
Amagi: "Is that because Auntie is... well, not very good at this?"
Kewei: "Ah, no wonder Mommy always snatches food from me!"
Guanghui held his sister's hand and coaxed her for a while, then he started talking about business. "Today is Children's Day? Mom said there are activities. Tiancheng, how did you spend it last year?"
"Last year... um, I think I went to play at Aunt Purifier's house?"
"Ah... I know her. Her house is super big, right? Even bigger than a castle!"
"Yeah! There are a lot of aunts who look alike here. They asked me to identify who is who. If I answer correctly, I can eat their potato chips."
Kewei's expression lit up, "Really? Mommy has always left only scraps for me! Hmm... is it difficult? I don't know if I can guess it..."
"Don't worry, it's not difficult." Tiancheng touched his belly and smiled slyly, "I don't actually know those aunts, okay? But even if you answer wrong, they will say you are right."
"Eh——? Isn't that just cheating?"
"Well, there's something delicious, so I'll cheat... No, this is called being smart."
The four of them laughed and joked for a while, then continued on their way, staggering through the port area on their short legs, and finally met the last few good friends in front of the command room.
Guanghui: "Cheshire, you've arrived? [Helena] Same, but... why can't I see Cleveland?
[Helena]: "She said she would first learn to drive with her dad... ah, with Aunt Cleveland, learn to drive a car? A car that can dig dirt, so she'll be there later."
Akagi: "So what exactly is that subordinate——Ouch?!"
Tiancheng: "Speak properly, please. That's my mother."
Akagi: "...What kind of surprise did mom prepare..."
Cheshire: "Hehe, in fact, I've already been in there with my mommy~"
Kewei: "Drink? Then why did you come out again?"
Cheshire: "I don't know. Mommy let me out."
Kewei was stunned, as if he remembered something, and rushed to open the door in the puzzled eyes of everyone.
Fortunately, she didn't do anything weird. If I had to say something, the way Cheshire's mother was touching Su Xin's cat ears was a bit scary.
Su Xin reacted quickly. Seeing the good kids opening the door, she shook her head and closed her ears. "Ahem... it's not time yet? Don't be anxious. Come in and sit down first."
Kewei ran over to be hugged. After being lifted up, he clung to his mother's neck and looked around, "Mom, did Aunt Cheshire bite you?"
Su Xin: “…No.”
Tiancheng: "Mom, are we still going to play with Aunt Purifier today?"
Su Xin: "Hmm? Didn't I tell you? We're going to a different place this time. We're going to explore an isolated island. We have to build our own house and catch crabs ourselves, okay?"
Awesome: parasols for sun protection!
Akagi: Killing Time!
Glory: So confident!
Amagi: Appetizers!
Cheshire: Meow meow meow?
PS: There are probably one or two more chapters. I found it was too short while writing. Also, the little boats call KanColle "Mommy" and SuSu "Mom", which is easier to distinguish (probably?
Chapter 23rd Children's Day Special (Total -2
Because everyone hadn't arrived yet, and Su Xin was going to get off work in twenty minutes, everyone simply occupied the sofas on both sides of the coffee table and lay down in a mess.
They knew that their mother was only busy before 10 . and would be free to play with them after she got off work at 10 .
The little children don’t understand the value of this job and sometimes complain about why their mother doesn’t have any holidays. It would be even better if she could spend the whole day with them.
"But... I recently discovered that my mother is still very hard-working." Kewei, the only one sitting upright, testified in a low voice.
Guanghui was originally sticking to Tiancheng and stroking his tail. When she heard this, she turned around in confusion.
"What did you find? Is mom very tired? So is it better for us to stay at home today?"
"At home? No, no!" Chicheng glanced at Su Xin who was signing frantically at her desk, "It's too boring at home. At worst... at worst I can just give my subordinates a shoulder massage..."
The content was quite pleasant to hear. Amagi, who was leaning lazily on Guanghui, hooked his tail and retracted his clenched little fist.
"No need to pinch my shoulders, just remember to give your tail to mom to touch. She's always very happy when I do this!"
"...Humph, I don't want to listen to you. Akagi can make the decision on Akagi's affairs!"
"Then my mother would pick me up and rub my belly against my chest. She would also comb my hair. Well...rubbing my back was also very comfortable."
Tian Cheng sighed after he finished speaking, "What a pity, I always feel like my mother treats me like a dog..."
Guanghui hugged the little fox's tail and rubbed it twice, "How could that be? I'm so envious of you for having a tail. Touching it makes me... uh, depressed?"
“It’s cured.”
"Eh? What's the difference?"
Tiancheng didn't understand why he mentioned it specifically. He probably wanted to show off secretly. As a result, he tilted his head and saw Aunt Cat standing by the table as a wife-watching stone.
Her eyes rolled around, and she didn't bother to explain the homophones. She immediately jumped off the sofa with her legs.
After getting closer and making sure that Su Xin was not disturbed, Tiancheng raised his hand and tugged at Auntie Maomao's skirt.
"Hmm, hm? Ah, Little Orange, hush... don't disturb mommy while she's working, okay?"
Auntie held her and walked two steps towards the sofa, then asked her quietly: "What's the matter? Um! The tail is so cute! Just like your dear - um, ahem, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Tiancheng wagged her tail and rubbed the back of her aunt's hand. She was more clever than other children and was used to taking advantage of herself, touching her belly and acting coquettishly.
"I feel a little hungry...Auntie, do you have any snacks? I only want to eat a little! Just... just a little~"
Aunt Maomao glanced at the universe on the little girl's fingertips and pretended to be troubled, but she was actually almost laughing to death.
Everyone in the port area knew that the little fox was greedy. It was just that the big fox was considered hypocritical, so he fed the little fox specially to preserve this character trait.
After all, instead of seeing the big fox's panicked and aggrieved expression, it is also a rare experience to see the other party's daughter acting coquettishly and begging for food.
Besides... who doesn't love a soft and cuddly cub?
"Okay, are you ready? Your Aunt Dido has made a lot, just waiting for you, a little greedy bug, to come and ask for it."
Tiancheng raised an invincible soft and cute smile, took the small plate of cake and quickly returned to his seat, poking at the sweet and fragrant cake and began to eat it in small bites.
The scary guy next door had his eyes almost fixed on it, his hands clenched tightly, but his body remained straight.
"I want a lady, I want a lady, I want a lady, I want a lady——"
"If you don't control yourself, you'll become a bad person like Mommy!"
“Ugh…Hold on!”
Compared to her younger sister, elder sister Guanghui does not have so many worries. She is like the embodiment of innocence. She speaks and acts as she pleases but never out of line. She is as well-behaved and sensible as a little angel.
"Sweet Orange, give me a bite..." she begged.
Amagi had obviously shared a lot and stuffed a fork into the other person's mouth. Now Akagi, who was left out, felt a little confused.
It would be fine to learn to beg for something, but Akagi was used to being strong, and giving in would really undermine her dignity as the "big sister (self-proclaimed)".
So the fox sister who couldn't eat the grapes said that classic line.
"No, it's just a cake...it's definitely nothing special!"
"Is it an ice cream cake?" Tian Cheng bit his fork and freed his hand, nuzzling his sister's neck. "It's best to eat it in the summer. It must be very hot today, so eat it early and enjoy it early."
Akagi shrank his head, still stubbornly saying, "Well, if I want to eat, I will ask for it, I just don't want to!"
"Well, you can't have it."
Tiancheng swallowed the cake and said proudly: "I worked hard for a long time to make the aunts get used to my love of eating. You can't do that. Mommy taught me to learn to create opportunities for myself!"
The children were all silent, and then looked at each other, not quite understanding what he meant.
Guanghui: "Why should Aunt Cheshire get used to it?"
Kewei: "Actually, I know that if you sit upright for a long time, you will get used to it and won't feel tired. So you are... eh? You are used to it?!"
Amagi: "Yes (proud)~"
Cheshire: "But...I have a question..."
Tiancheng: "Go ahead, I can teach you. I can even do two-digit multiplication!"
Cheshire: "We ask our aunt for food... and she will give it to us, right? Mommy said that Aunt Dido and Aunt Yixian will prepare delicious food every day and give it to us..."
Tiancheng: “…Huh?”
Cheshire: "Mommy~"
Cat: "Hey, what's wrong, baby? Do you miss mommy? It's okay to miss mommy, but it's not okay to miss honey, okay? You can't miss her more than mommy, okay?"
Kids: ???
Cheshire: "That's what Mommy is like... Um, Mommy, have the aunts prepared delicious food today? We are all hungry..."
Maomao: "Yes, I just gave Sweet Orange one portion. I thought you guys weren't hungry, so I'll get it for you."
So the children just watched the cats put plates of desserts from the space out, with all kinds of desserts from various camps.
Cat: "It's not enough to finish eating, there's more, okay? But you have to be good and don't make your dear's workplace dirty, okay? You have to know, dear——"
Cheshire: "Okay, okay, mommy, we know. Just go and watch over mommy. Don't worry about us..."
Cat: "Hehe...baby is so considerate, mua~ Wait a little longer, she will come to accompany you when she is done with her work?"
Cheshire watched his biological mother leave the small circle before picking up a plate of daifuku and taking a small bite.
"...Look, they can get it too? They don't have to do what they are used to. Sweet Orange, are you...thinking wrong...?"
Tiancheng shook his tail and said, "No, I just wanted to eat a few more plates than you guys."
Children: “…”
Cleveland came here on time.
At that time, Su Xin had just finished her work and ended her busy day at just before nine o'clock.
When the time jumped from [09:59] to [10:00], a few seconds later, a "rumbling" sound was heard outside, accompanied by the vibration coming from far away.
The children were not afraid either. They swallowed the cakes and rushed outside to check, then exclaimed in unison.
