"It's not cold."
"Well... tell us when you're tired, okay?"
"it is good."
The three people on the sea were lined up in a line, sailing on the waves. Su Xin was in the middle wearing external equipment, and Helena and Xianghe were escorting on both sides. The three of them were ready to change their identities at night and go directly from the sea to the front.
The first step is to go to the cities around the line, and finally go to the coast by land to prevent the possibility of accidentally exposing your identity.
Because Su Xin used too much force when facing the Purifier last time, the external equipment on her feet exploded due to overload. After she mentioned this to the teacher Yubari who had not been seen above, the other party complained endlessly and died after the new year.
In my spare time while working overtime on the research topic, I made a new pair for Su Xin.
This time, the external foot equipment has not only upgraded its appearance, but also changed to a metal-like material design of a wedge-heeled long boot. It also added another operating mode, which can use a large amount of electrical energy as a reserve energy to create a ship-like
The effect of the mother's sliding step can be operated for six hours on a single charge, but the speed is not very fast and cannot be used in combat.
The new mode obviously solved Su Xin's urgent problem. Otherwise, the disguise of the ship girl might be exposed. Whose ship girl can jump and travel at sea after launching a catapult?
As for the slow speed, the new identity is a transport ship anyway, and few people know this type of ship girl. It all depends on how Su Xin makes it up. If she can just put the blame on the transport ship type of ship girl, then everything will be fine.
This foot-mounted device feels pretty good to use. It's a bit like an electric balance bike, and you need to control the direction yourself. It took Su Xin a while to learn how to move around.
With the cat tail out, the sword on and the shoes on, he looked quite professional.
Su Xin was dressed very warmly at this time, not caring whether her style matched the external equipment she was wearing. She just wore whatever coat and pants were warmest. Fortunately, Helena helped her watch over them, and after a little coordination, it didn't look so out of place.
Su Xin was now over 150cm tall, and she looked even taller after wearing wedge heels. Her black hair was tied into a simple ponytail at the back of her head, and the black fluffy cat ears on top of her head moved from time to time. The tail was restrained in the loose pants, and her face was
She also wore a pure black mask, revealing only her slightly glowing pupils. Looking at her like this, it wouldn't be out of place to say that she was a ship girl from the Sakura Empire.
"We probably still have..." Su Xin took out the map, scanned it in the dark, and silently calculated the distance, "three hours to reach the shore."
"Well... remember to tell me when you're tired, don't try to be stubborn." Helena tilted her head to look at her, her gentle voice drifting away with the wind.
"Yes, I can carry you." Shokaku replied, stroking the beast-like commander and pinching the trembling cat ears.
"So...so cute!"
Su Xin shook her ears and pulled her cat ears free from Xianghe's fingers. She did not miss Xianghe's overly gentle expression in the darkness. She just responded lightly and complained silently.
"You're treating me like a child again... and everyone seems to like cats a little too much..."
There was not much light tonight. The thick clouds completely blocked the moon, resulting in only sporadic reflections of water waves around it, and the rest of the place was pitch black.
The three of them didn't turn on the lights. If you want to sneak away, you have to be conscious of it. Originally, Helena was worried that her little commander was afraid of the dark and whether he could adapt to this environment. But she found that he didn't seem to be affected at all.
Su Xin's cat eyes had full night vision, and with her two sisters accompanying her, she didn't feel scared even if they didn't speak the whole time. At most, she just felt a little bit at a loss about the vast and empty sea.
The group walked for a while until Su Xin saw a figure standing still in the distance.
"There's a famous ship girl ahead."
Upon hearing this, Helena and Shokaku quickly perked up. After searching and identifying the enemy, and confirming that it was a ship girl, they relaxed their vigilance slightly and approached the other party quietly.
After getting closer, Su Xin recognized the trembling ship girl. The main reason was that the other party, whether in ship uniform or clothing, maintained the original appearance of the game, unlike the previous
Like the other ship girls she had met before, she put away her ship uniforms and changed her clothes. With the comparison of the portraits, it was much easier for Su Xin to identify them.
"It's Xiao."
Su Xin quietly reminded Helena and Shokaku, and the three of them discussed quietly and decided that it would be better to go over and get to know each other. It might not be a bad idea to approach the other party as a wandering ship girl, and they could even see if Su Xin's rhetoric about the transport ship was effective.
It worked, so the three of them continued to approach silently.
The sound of the wind on the sea masked many noises, and Akatsuki had no idea that three ship girls, who were uninvited guests to her, were quietly approaching her and had prepared a perfect psychological shadow for her.
When Su Xin got within five meters, she felt that it was enough. Logically speaking, even if it was dark, they couldn't get so close without being discovered. After thinking about the character setting of the other party in the previous life, Su Xin also understood.
, she guessed that the other party was frightened by the dark environment and lost his concentration, so he didn't notice their approach, so she signaled her sisters to speak.
Shokaku felt that Akatsuki was at least a member of the Sakura Empire, so it might be more appropriate for her to say hello. Thinking of this, she calmed down, put on a warm and friendly smile, took two steps forward, and greeted them politely.
Sounded.
"Hello~"
“Aa ...
Xiao, who was trembling all over and was about to turn on the light, screamed in shock, and then stopped talking. He fell to the sea surface with a "bang" and lost consciousness.
"......" Shokaku turned around and looked at Helena who was also surprised and Su Xin whose expression could not be seen clearly, "No...it was not me."
"Well……"
Xiao opened her slightly dry eyes, and her vision gradually became clearer.
white.
The white ceiling, the clean quilt, the soft mattress beneath him and the warm temperature in the quilt were so fascinating that the financially strapped Xiao lost himself for a moment, and then realized something was wrong.
"Where am I?"
"Yesterday I was carrying out a commission at sea... Then it got dark, and I wanted to turn on the lights, and then... then..."
Xiao remembered the terrifying voice that sounded behind her in the darkness. She had no recollection of what it said, but she was still frightened when she recalled the strange scene.
“Strange stuff!!!”
Xiao straightened up suddenly, and when he came to his senses, he realized that the surrounding environment was arranged... He should be in a hotel?
“How rude…”
Shokaku came out of the bathroom, and approached Akatsuki as he touched the mask on his right eye with a relieved expression. He ignored the other's wary look and handed over the wet towel in his hand.
"Wipe your face?"
Xiao frowned and looked at Shokaku, and stared at the frank Shokaku for a few seconds before taking the wet white towel.
"...Thanks."
Xianghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't scare him into anything serious. That was all good.
"Wait a moment, I'll go call my sisters."
Xiao nodded, and when he saw the other party go out and close the door, he took off the mask, wiped his face with a towel, got out of bed and went to the bathroom, cleaned himself up and down carefully, and then he sighed comfortably. After all, taking a shower was a good idea.
It's always something that can relax people.
Xiao looked at the foggy mirror and wiped it twice with her hands, so that her head could be fully reflected in the mirror. Her pupils were the same, and there were no birthmarks or scars on her face. She was no different from the others.
What's the difference.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door. Xiao looked at herself in the mirror, put on the one-eyed mask again, tidied herself up, then walked out of the bathroom and opened the door.
"Please come in." Xiao saw the three ship girls outside the door and invited them in with a little nervousness.
When she heard Shokaku's voice, she knew what had happened last night. This development was quite embarrassing for her. It was so embarrassing to be scared unconscious by someone.
But the fact that I appeared in the hotel room meant that the other party should have no ill intentions. Not only did he bring me back when I was lost and frightened, he also booked a single room for me to rest until I woke up.
He said he was going out to call for help, but it gave him enough time to sort out his image and adjust his mentality. No matter how he looked at it, these three people should not be the ones he should reject. Besides, with the little resources he had now, it didn't seem like he could do much.
How worthy of people's concern.
"excuse me."
The three of them were very polite. Even though they had paid for the room themselves, they did not act as if it was their turn. They greeted everyone politely before entering the room.
The four of them sat down. Xiao was a little nervous, but after thinking for a while, she spoke first.
"I am... I am the Akatsuki, a special destroyer of the Sakura Empire. I wonder who you are...?"
"Ms. Xiao, I'm White Eagle Light Cruiser Helena, nice to meet you."
Xiao was a little embarrassed. "Just call me Xiao. Miss Xiao...it sounds weird."
Helena smiled and changed the address as she was told. Then Shokaku, who was wearing white clothes and had white hair, spoke.
"Hello, I am from the Sakura Empire, the 5th Carrier Squadron, Shokaku."
Xiao's eyes lit up. She always felt more at ease when she met a ship girl from the same faction. She then turned her gaze to Su Xin, who also had beastly features, was smaller in size, wore a black mask in broad daylight, and was dressed thicker than any other known ship girl.
There is implicit expectation in my heart.
"...Hello, Sakura transport ship, No-no.
The room was silent for a moment. Xiao was a little surprised. She knew that there was a warship called Gonno in the historical fleet of the Sakura Empire. It was a transport ship designed to transport Yamato-type turrets and was responsible for transporting weapons and ammunition supplies, but she was
I've never seen what a wild ship girl looks like.
"...Is there something wrong?"
Su Xin's voice was so steady that Xiao seemed a little abrupt, so she quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, I am the one who is offended."
Xiao felt a little embarrassed. He had only been born for a short time and had seen many ships. Besides, it was possible that the number of transport ships was scarce. His hesitant attitude just now was really rude.
The group briefly summarized the blunder that happened last night, and received Xiao's embarrassed apology and an initial favorability of +10.
Xiao had a good impression of these three ship girls who were also wandering but had helped him a lot. After talking for a while, they naturally became friends and their conversations became much closer.
However, she was obviously more interested in Su Xin, who had a similar figure to hers, which made her feel happy as if she had met someone of the same age.
"Excuse me, but why are you wearing a mask?"
Yes, why? You can't say it's to hide your identity as much as possible...
Su Xin thought about it and looked at Xiao's mask. She didn't know but she could make up nonsense, "...I am the same as Xiao."
Xiao suddenly realized and was secretly happy. It seemed that she and Ye had the same practices and beliefs, which made her more friendly to Yehao.

ps: Susu's external footwear can refer to the shoes of the emperor's mother. The original picture is the girl version of the emperor, but it should be a picture from Twitter. I don't know how to find it, and I'm afraid of infringement, so I just took a screenshot of the shoes. Just take a look; ⑥ is for sensitive words; Xiao
I didn't find out what she looks like under the mask, so I can only guess. If you know why she wears a mask or what she looks like without the mask, I hope you can tell me!
Chapter 131 Xiao's Diary
2021 December 3
sunny
Yesterday I went to the sea to carry out a commission, which was to find a cargo box that accidentally fell into the sea.
I was troubled. Even if he gave me a map and marked the location on it, and the cargo was waterproof and could float on the sea, didn't he consider that the waves would push the cargo to other places?
Is it just like carving a boat to look for a sword?
The story of carving a mark on the boat to look for the sword is about a man who lost his sword on a boat. He carved a mark on the boat and then went into the water to look for it after it reached the shore. It is a metaphor for people who do not change their views as the situation changes.
I read a book for a long time before I knew this idiom. It was tailor-made for that person. If the resources of my reorganized expulsion team were not running out and the compensation he offered was not bad, I would not have taken such a job.
It's obviously a mission only a fool would accept.
So it’s normal that I can’t find it, right? It seems that no matter whether I’m lost or not, I can’t find it in the end, so it’s not my fault, it’s all the client’s fault!
I have been looking for Xiang, Lei and Dian for so long, but I still haven’t found them. I don’t know where they are… But I won’t give up. This is my responsibility as a sister. After all, I am the eldest sister.
It felt really bad to be alone on the sea last night. It was the same no matter which direction I went. How could I find the specific direction on the sea with only a map and a compass?
And it's even scarier after dark. I'm really afraid of the dark, but if this gets out, my sisters might look down on me, so I've never told anyone about it.
Plus, I turned on the lights because I was afraid of the dark, but... So last night I hesitated for a long time whether to turn on the lights. Of course, not much resources left was also a reason. Anyway, when I made up my mind and was about to turn on the searchlight
When he saw this, he was frightened by Shokaku and fainted.
There was nothing I could do. It was so dark at that time and I always liked to think too much, so it was normal to be scared and faint. But I must not let my sisters know about this. It's too embarrassing.
Originally, I thought I would wake up at sea today, but unexpectedly, Shokaku and the others carried me back to the shore and booked a room for me, where I slept until dawn. This is how I got to know these three ship girls.
They seemed to be wandering ship girls like me, without belonging to any port or organization. They just came up to say hello and see if I needed help when they saw me getting scared on the sea.
But I was so embarrassed that I fainted.
Helena is a light cruiser of the White Eagle. I have heard that the ship girl named Helena has a strong ability to search for enemies. I thought she would be a difficult person to get along with, after all, she has such a powerful ability, but I didn't expect it to be unexpected.
Easy to talk to.
And she has a temperament that is worth learning from, especially when facing Quan Ye, she exudes the doting feeling of an older sister towards her younger sister, it must be the temperament of an older sister!
Shokaku and I are both in the Sakura Empire camp, and I've heard of him as well. However, I've heard from people who have visited the forums that Shokaku usually likes to speak in a sarcastic manner or play some little pranks.
