"...nice."
Hood finally suppressed his doubts and gave his evaluation, while not forgetting to carefully observe his young commander.
Regardless of appearance or breath, or even relying on the unique sensing ability of the ship girl, the results all prove that the other party's identity is accurate.
It was Su Xin who refused to wear stockings no matter what.
So what went wrong…?
"Hehe, I knew it."
Commander Su was very happy and thought about strolling around a bit, so she waved goodbye to Hood and said, "Sister Hood, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go look somewhere else. See you at noon~"
Hood nodded, and after the others left, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message to the secretary ship.
She wondered if the other party had done some ideological work on the young commander, but Tiancheng quickly asked her what the specific manifestations of the discord were.
After she reviewed it briefly, a message "Be patient" popped up on the interface and then nothing happened.
In the past, matters related to Su Su would usually be taken care of by the wedding ship and the maid group, so she didn't have to worry too much.
But this time, the attitudes of the two parties do not seem to be those of actively following up, but rather they seem to be letting the situation develop.
Hood hesitated for a moment, but decided to go home to ask Guanghui and the others, perhaps he could get the answer from the two sisters.
Before lunch, the same thing happened at Iron Blood.
While strolling around under the trees in the port area, Eugen happened to see a reflective white color not far away.
With a slender waist and legs as flawless as jade, there is no doubt that she is a ship girl who can always stay in the best condition. After all, only ship girls in the family would dress like this.
Just as she took a sip of cold beer and wondered which destroyer or light cruiser was wearing new clothes, the man suddenly turned around and looked at her.
Su Xin: "It's you, Eugen."
Eugen: "Ugh! Cough, cough, cough!"
The choked heavy cruiser covered his mouth and was still surprised after catching his breath, "Why are you dressed like this?!"
"New clothes, a work benefit. Sister Hu said they look good." The little commander stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief. "What do you think? Um, do you want to wipe it off?"
Eugen took it and glanced at the pretty girl in front of him.
Not to mention, it does look good.
It’s this expression that is different from the usual shy little cat-like commander, as if it has become a different species. Now it looks more like a silly puppy who likes to wag its tail and wait for praise.
Although there are constant disputes between cat and dog factions, if Eugen had to choose, he would definitely prefer the cat commander who blushes easily when teased.
Nowadays, people are not shy about touching someone’s belly, which makes things less fun.
Seeing that Su Xin was squinting her eyes and enjoying it like a little animal, Eugen curled his lips, changed from touching to poking, and touched the delicate belly button with his index finger.
Sure enough, the ticklish little commander shrank his body, a familiar movement, but there was no familiar red color climbing up his cheeks.
Eugen glanced at the other person inquiringly, then looked over his shoulder and met the gaze of the damn immortal Frederick the Great who happened to appear.
"...Uh, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do."
Su Xin, who had her back to the battleship, was stunned and asked casually, "Did you finish drinking all the wine?"
Seeing that Frederick's face became even gloomier, Eugen quickly turned around and ran, clutching the jar. He felt something strange while running, and after stopping, he took out his cell phone and typed the location letter by letter.
Eugen: [What happened? The little commander felt very strange today. She didn't even resist when I touched her belly.]
Dafeng: [???]
Dafeng: [Say five more dollars!]
Eugen: [She seems to be much bolder now. She used to be embarrassed.]
Taiho: [Could it be?!]
Atago: [Could it be?!]
Akagi: [Send location]
Eugen: [A two-meter-high Gundam is here. I advise you to calm down and look for another opportunity. If you insist on coming over, please V50 me. ]
Dafeng: [Red envelope]
Akagi: [Red Envelope]
Atago: [Red Envelope]
Ming Miao: [Thank you, boss~]
Eugen: [?]
Eugen: [Private message, private message, Gundam rarely reads group messages, don’t say it was me who leaked it]
Bismarck: [……]
Bismarck: [@Frederick the Great]
Eugen: [QA Q…]
On the other side, when her body was obscured by a tall shadow cast on the ground, Su Xin knew who was coming.
She turned her head and looked up at the other person, stretched out her hand and called out, "Mother Emperor, good morning."
Frederick the Great readily accepted the offer and picked up the little guy, adjusting the position so that the little guy could sit in his arms, and then looked at the waist.
"Child, did the royal maid choose the clothes for you?"
"No, it was a gift from the company. Why are you all so surprised? Is it because I rarely wear clothes like this?"
Looking at the other's soft flesh due to his sitting position, Frederick the Great nodded, "I think so, yes, what happened?"
Su Xin leaned in the other's arms and shook her head, "No, maybe I suddenly figured it out? But the change was too fast, so everyone is not used to it yet."
"...figured out what?"
"You should be honest with yourself and everyone else."
The mother couldn't understand this. She raised her hand and pinched the soft layer of flesh on the girl's belly, which felt very good.
"Is that your honesty? Child... I don't think—"
"Bah"
"...Hmm? Suddenly this is...?"
Su Xin held Zhanjian's face, moved closer again in a very good mood, and pecked him gently, making a slightly ambiguous sound of water.
After stepping back, seeing that Frederick was still looking at him steadily, Commander Su smiled cheerfully, "It's this kind of honesty that I like you very much. I was afraid before, but not now."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that the relationship won't last long enough, that I'm not good enough, that you'll get tired of me one day and end the relationship, that everyone will leave me because of embarrassment... there are so many things."
Frederick the Great narrowed his eyes. "So, what now?"
"Now I've figured it out. I like someone because I like him." Su Xin took the initiative to hug the other person's neck. "If you hesitate because of fear, it would be unfair to everyone who likes me, right?"
"............,
"The Emperor's mother?"
Frederick showed no joy, but asked her: "Do you really think that there is absolute fairness in this matter?"
"Not absolutely, but relative fairness should be achievable, right?" the young commander expressed his opinion.
Zhanjian sighed faintly, put the person down from his arms, and squatted down to look at her. "Then how can you guarantee that everyone is willing to accept what you call fairness?"
Su Xin counted on her fingers, "Akagi, Atago, Taiho, Sister Guanghui, Sister Dido, Observer... and you, the Great Emperor."
After listing them, she looked confused.
"You all probably like me, right? Isn't it a good thing to be together? If you drag your feet and don't get a response, won't you be sad?"
Frederick the Great patted her head, "...In my opinion, you just went from one extreme to another."
"It is certainly not good to be overly hesitant, but results that are obtained casually, even if they are victories, will not be cherished by others."
"It's like you're the only candidate taking the exam. You're undoubtedly the first."
"But will you remember this success? I think you won't, and you won't even show it off as an achievement."
Frederick the Great looked more serious than usual, "I am glad to see you being cheerful, my child, but I still hope you can be cautious in more sensitive areas."
Su Xin opened her mouth, a little confused, not knowing what to say.
She used to be troubled by her cowardice, but now she is bound by her frankness.
Maybe there is no need to be clear about some things, but for her who advocates precision, ambiguity is the most difficult situation.
"...I don't know. I can feel that I have changed, but...isn't this a good thing?"
Frederick the Great softened his expression and kissed her forehead, "It's good, and it's not good. This is not for us to decide. It's you. You need to choose for yourself."
Commander Su was no longer as uneasy as before. Instead, he straightened his chest and said confidently, "Okay, I'll find the answer myself. I'll look carefully."
"Hehe...I'm watching."
"Huh? Where's the person? I spent a hundred dollars, and he ran away?!"
Dafeng sniffed. A faint peach scent lingered in the air, meaning that the target had just left not long ago.
She rubbed her hands and walked forward impatiently following the smell. After turning several corners, she stopped at the edge of the playground next to the school.
Through the metal net, you can see Su Xin leading the children in playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the field. She has a smile on her face, and it looks as bright as if she is glowing.
Physical education teacher Royal Ark acted as the eagle, and kept "wooooing" at Su the hen and the long string of chicks behind her with a very strange expression.
Dafeng recognized it; it was the expression she would unconsciously reveal when she secretly looked at the Commander's photo in her bedroom.
"What? Eugen said something so strange. I thought I was going to see another Taiho..."
The aircraft carrier, which was clinging to the grid and wishing it could go right in, smacked its lips, feeling a little regretful.
If the commander really becomes the "Big Phoenix No. 2" who likes shyness, then wouldn't her chances of rising to the top be infinitely higher?
After all, who in Hong Kong is more proficient in this than her?
As a result, she ran over with hope and saw that it was a little brighter and no different from usual, but there were indeed more benefits.
"Hehehe... Commander's belly..."
Dafeng wiped the corner of her mouth and continued to pick at it. Her facial flesh and front armor were deformed by the grid, giving people the illusion that they were about to overflow from the diamond grid.
"It's a pity that I can only watch like this... Ah, the commander is smiling so happily, could it be that he saw Taiho here?"
"...Ugh."
"You can guess that it's impossible—
Su Xin: "Da Feng——"
The aircraft carrier was startled and quickly backed away from the metal net, patting his chest to eliminate the marks so as not to look too reckless.
"Your Excellency, Commander?"
The lively-looking girl came running over, "What are you doing standing outside? If you have nothing to do, do you want to play with me?"
"Can I?!"
"Of course. It happens to be the last period in the morning. I can go to the cafeteria to eat with everyone after class."
Dafeng was quite interested. Seeing that Su Xin was serious and not joking, he did not bother to go through the main door. He jumped on the spot, flew over the metal net, and landed next to the little commander.
The huge front armor swayed due to the movement.
Tai Feng was just about to take advantage of the situation to stick out her chest and show off herself, but then she remembered that her commander would not buy into this and was more conservative.
What others consider as a plus point would probably be a minus point for Su Xin.
Therefore, Dafeng's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her chest to stop him, then looked nervously at the commander beside her.
"Commander... This is not—
"This is the first time I've experienced so directly how hard it is to have a good figure."
"...Eh? I mean, Commander, are you... praising Taiho?"
"Yes, but this is not a good strenuous exercise, right? It's easy to fall if you run. How about I go find a one-piece swimsuit for you?"
"Boku water?"
