The time-based admiral of KanColle

"No way."

Seeing that Hei Gaoxiong's reply seemed very perfunctory, Yaxu couldn't help but suggest considerately: "In this case, I'd better go and borrow a quilt from other ship girls to make it back."

"You don't have to worry about me, Commander."

There was no trace of emotion in his dim eyes, and even the posture he was lying in seemed very stiff.

My goodness, she is just like the stubborn Miss Black Dog!

Facing Hei Kaohsiung, an Ashen ship girl with serious emotional dysfunction, Yaxu finally moved the bed silently and got closer to Hei Kaohsiung bit by bit.

Until the end, Yaxu's shoulder was pressed against Hei Kaohsiung's soft shoulder.

"what are you doing?"

"For various reasons, it's hard for me to fall asleep if I'm not close to the ship girl now."

"..."

Faced with Yaxu's inexplicably serious explanation, the taciturn Hei Kaohsiung didn't say anything more in the end. Instead, he turned sideways silently and began to turn his back to Yaxu.

"Go to bed early. Black Helena must be watching us now."

"I always feel like you haven't closed your eyes for a long time, Hei Gaoxiong."

Looking at Hei Gaoxiong's graceful back, Ya Xu, who couldn't sleep, couldn't help but lean against Hei Gaoxiong with a smile, and then idly played with Hei Gaoxiong's elegant black hair.

And under the influence of the unique silence and cool tranquility of the evening night, a charming atmosphere gradually spread.

Often at times like this, both people and ships can't help but become alert.

"It turns out you haven't slept for a long time, right, Hei Kaohsiung."

Looking at Hei Gaoxiong's slightly undulating jade back, Ya Xu gradually realized something and sighed leisurely, then reminded meaningfully: "But if you don't close your eyes and fall asleep, it can't be considered as fulfilling the agreement."

"So, even if tonight passes, I'm afraid Black Helena and the others won't admit it tomorrow."

Seeing Hei Gaoxiong's soft shoulders suddenly tremble, Ya Xu immediately asked, "Or are you actually afraid of closing your eyes?"

"Well!!!"

Chapter 1547 The beauty of Kaohsiung late at night!

Under the quiet night sky, the night of Chongying Mountain is interwoven with some elegant chirping of insects, making the entire Chongying dormitory area look particularly elegant.

However, in a Japanese-style bedroom somewhere, Ya Xu, who was in a delicate mood, was looking at Hei Gaoxiong who was lying in front of him with his back to him. His slightly trembling shoulders and tall figure made him look cute but also a little pitiful.

"As expected, you are afraid of sleep itself, Hei Gaoxiong."

"This... doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

Listening to the heavy tone of Hei Gaoxiong, Ya Xu, who looked up at the ceiling, smiled and responded: "Don't forget, caring about the physical and mental health of the ship girl is the essential job of the commander. When I think of my own ship girl and can't sleep peacefully, of course I, as a commander, will also be unable to sleep."

"Haha, but it's really surprising. I thought that the cold and powerful Miss Black Kaohsiung would not have any weaknesses."

"First of all, I am not strong. Neither I nor the Enterprises are strong. After all... we were a desperate failed ship from the very beginning."

Curling up her proud queen figure slightly, Black Takao with a gloomy face murmured to herself: "Besides, it's just not sleeping. This is not a weakness for us Embers."

"That sounds like a really sad answer."

Realizing that Hei Gaoxiong had probably been keeping his eyes open every night, Yaxu frowned and asked Hei Gaoxiong with some concern, "Don't you feel any pressure if you can't get any rest?"

"Just being alive is heavy enough for us!"

Having said that, the exquisite Hei Kaohsiung finally turned over and looked at Yaxu. He slowly raised his cold face, and his dull and lifeless eyes appeared from the hair covering his right eye.

"So, it doesn't matter anymore."

"But if Miss Dog doesn't sleep, good man Richard will knock on her door in the middle of the night."

Faced with Hei Kaohsiung's increasingly dark mood, Yaxu tried to make a little joke and attempted to ease the atmosphere.

However, just like usual, the expressionless Hei Kaohsiung didn't even bother to blink his eyelashes. He just glanced at Yaxu coldly, and finally turned around silently.

"You should go to bed early, Commander."

"Yeah."

After realizing that Hei Kaohsiung did have an insurmountable knot in his heart, Yaxu was silent for a moment and couldn't help but stare at the ceiling while starting to talk to Hei Kaohsiung.

"Actually, a long, long time ago, I also had a period when I couldn't sleep at all."

Feeling the warmth of Hei Gaoxiong's delicate back through the thin bathrobe, Yaxu, who was close to Hei Gaoxiong, said with empathy: "After all, the feelings of sleep and death are surprisingly similar. The feeling of gradually blurring consciousness when falling asleep makes me feel very scared, as if I close my eyes this time... maybe I will never wake up."

"And the quieter the night, the more likely people and boats are to have wild thoughts."

Feeling the unique atmosphere of the night, Yaxu then said to Hei Gaoxiong meaningfully: "Don't worry, I don't intend to force you to sleep. After all, you probably have past events you don't want to recall."

"The kind of bad memories that become crystal clear even if I just close my eyes..."

As Yaxu's heavy voice fell, Hei Kaohsiung suddenly froze in place.

Thus, in a trance, Hei Kaohsiung's clear eyes began to show a hazy blood color, and the flat tatami in his original field of vision also changed into a blood-red sea in the haze.

The burning sea was mixed with a large number of various body wreckages. Although she, who had just become a META ship girl, finally regained her rationality, what replaced it was a world where everything seemed empty.

And from then on, she could no longer close her eyes.

However, if you think about it carefully, maybe she is just trying to escape reality, unwilling to accept the past, and simply wants to numb herself.

Emitting a faint black aura, Hei Kaohsiung's jade-like body gradually became colder, and Yaxu, who was leaning on Hei Kaohsiung's soft back, immediately noticed the abnormality.

So the next second, Yaxu reached out his hands and went around the sides of Hei Kaohsiung's bathrobe, then hugged Hei Kaohsiung's lower abdomen.

"What are you doing?"

After being suddenly hugged from behind by Yaxu, Hei Gaoxiong, who was caught off guard, woke up instantly, then fluttered his eyelashes slightly, and said nervously, "There should be no shortage of ship girls in this port area who can be hugged by you."

"That's true, but I've touched and rubbed everyone in the harbor, so I really want to try to see if I can treat the proudly figured Miss Kurokaohsiung like a pillow."

Experiencing the Black Kaohsiung, whose touch was very similar to Kaohsiung, but there were indeed some differences, Yaxu then leaned his head affectionately on the soft shoulders of the Black Kaohsiung, and then buried his head in the back of the Black Kaohsiung's neck.

“It tastes very similar to Kaohsiung.”

"Then isn't it the same if you hug her?"

Acting as if he could not cope with the intimate treatment from his commander, Hei Kaohsiung pursed his lower lips and the next second he impulsively tried to reach out for the sword placed beside the mat.

However, the next second, the neatly placed ship-mounted long sword was immediately touched by Yaxu.

"If you look closely, it seems that you, Hei Gaoxiong, like to hold the saber with bandages wrapped around your waist."

Looking at the hand bandage with a lingering fragrance on the handle of Hei Gaoxiong's sword, Yaxu thought for a moment and then hid it behind his back with a vague look. He pretended to be serious and suggested to Hei Gaoxiong: "I'll wash this bandage for you. How about you change a new bandage to wrap your hand?"

"..."

Listening to the words of Yaxu, the almost rogue commander, Black Kaohsiung, who was not good at bickering like Kaohsiung, stood up and stared at Yaxu for a long time, but finally lay back silently, pretending that he didn't want to pay any attention to Yaxu.

Seeing that Black Kaohsiung was essentially the same as Kaohsiung and would only be strict with himself and swallow his anger in the end, Yaxu contentedly put away Black Kaohsiung's hand bandage and decided to collect it as his new commander!

"So, have you calmed down now?"

Looking at Hei Gaoxiong who had turned into a cold black dog because he was sulking, Yaxu then smiled and joked: "The reason why the night makes people daydream about the past is that people at this time usually have nothing to do."

"So whether it's a person or a ship girl, as long as there are other things to divert attention, it's not easy to think about the past, right?"

"You are...really childish sometimes, Commander."

Hearing Yaxu's falsely proud tone, Hei Kaohsiung, who had been silent for a while, could only sigh helplessly in the end.

After all, just like when Yaxu had inexplicably hit her on the head with a stick before, many times, she couldn't understand why he would do such a childish thing, which was totally inconsistent with the identity of the port commander.

"It doesn't really mean anything except satisfying your weird interests."

"Then you and your sister ships have never done such meaningless things."

"!!!"

In an instant, as Yaxu asked this meaningful question, Hei Kaohsiung, with his pupils constricted, froze in place.

However, inevitably, certain past memories that were hidden in her fear resurfaced in her mind after a long absence.

The smiles on Toriumi's faces when they were together flashed by, and Kuro Takao clenched his fists and gave a meaningful response.

"It's different now, whether it's Atago or Maya and the others."

"And just looking at them is very emotional, right?"

Recalling the day when St. Louis and the others were dressing Helena for a date, and Helena's empty eyes when she was watching from a distance, Yaxu tried to suggest to Hei Gaoxiong beside him: "In this case, how about trying to establish a new relationship?"

"Impossible! My sisters are all...!"

"Oh, I'm not talking about Atago and the others."

In order to calm down Hei Kaohsiung, whose emotions had suddenly become agitated, Yaxu smiled gently and then put on the look of a righteous commander, then raised his hand and pointed at himself as if it was a matter of course.

"I'm talking about building a new relationship with me."

Faced with Yaxu's blatant proposal, the somewhat innocent Hei Gaoxiong naturally couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and leaned over to ask Yaxu: "You...what do you mean by this!?"

"It's still five hours until morning. We can't just lie here and chat."

At this point, Yaxu couldn't help but hold Hei Gaoxiong's hand intimately, and then suggested: "Of course, if you ask Shinano now, she should be able to let you fall asleep without losing consciousness."

"Of course, in that case, it's actually the same in the dream, Black Kaohsiung."

Facing Yaxu's sudden tough attitude, Hei Gaoxiong, who looked puzzled, finally couldn't help but frown and educate Yaxu: "Why are you like that Atago! Thinking about such meaningless things all day long!?"

"It's very simple, because a certain black dog lady is essentially the same as a certain Kaohsiung lady. Under a serious appearance, she is actually a dog lady who can only say no."

Having said that, Yaxu couldn't help but raise his hand with a hint of sarcasm, and looking down, he saw that Yaxu's hand was not closed at all, but Hei Kaohsiung's bare hand did not seem to struggle at all, and was placed flat in the center of Yaxu's hand.

"It seems that you are the kind of Ember Ship Girl who has forgotten how to respond to even the most basic emotions."

Looking at Hei Kaohsiung who said no but was actually the same as Noshiro and Kaohsiung, Yaxu couldn't help but explain to Hei Kaohsiung who was stunned in the spot considerately: "You obviously don't resist at all, but you are instinctively afraid of establishing a connection with her."

"It seems that you are not as ruthless as you appear."

Witnessing Hei Kaohsiung's silly expression of sudden suspicion of Chuansheng from a close distance, Yaxu said as he got face to face with Hei Kaohsiung, and then fell into the arms of the older sister.

In this regard, Hei Kaohsiung, who had no way to refute it, could only let Yaxu come and get close to her.

However, just as the charming atmosphere of the late night was spreading around, the paper sliding door was suddenly opened, and Atago, holding the camera, moved her legs expectantly from outside and crawled in quietly.

But when she saw that Yaxu and Hei Gaoxiong were not exercising as vigorously as she had expected, Atago, with her cheeks slightly puffed up, complained to Hei Gaoxiong and Yaxu with a hint of resentment: "Really, it's been almost two hours, and you haven't started yet?"

"Um, where is Kaohsiung?"

Looking at Atago who was about to shoot a dog film, Yaxu with complicated eyes couldn't help but worry about Kaohsiung who said he would watch over Atago all night.

Hearing this, Atago, with a playful look on her face, crossed her slender waist and said proudly, "Hehe, thanks to the information provided by Miss Black Helena, that sultry bad dog sister is now hiding in the closet in shame."

"As expected, no matter which world we are in, Kaohsiung-sister is always a hypocrite, right~?"

Facing Atago's brilliant smile, the expressionless Kuro Takao silently sat up, leaned forward, and tried to get his sword back.

Seeing this, Yaxu, who was afraid that the dog's head would fall to the ground, naturally hurriedly hugged Hei Kaohsiung from behind.

While Yaxu and Hei Kaohsiung were playing, Atago, with a smile on her face, hummed a cheerful Sakura nursery rhyme. She then went behind Hei Kaohsiung and started to sandwich Hei Kaohsiung with Yaxu.

"Hurry, give me the saber, Commander!!!"

"Don't give her Xiao Yaxu. Now is the best opportunity! Just turn the raw puppy into a mature one!"

"Oh my, speaking of which, Hei Kaohsiung's ears seem bigger than Kaohsiung's. I wonder what's going on down there..."

In the hazy dog ​​night, in the bedroom on the other side, facing the noisy noises from Atago and the others, Toriumi, who was lying obediently in the quilt, was blinking her bright eyes. It was not until a while later that she looked eagerly at Maya, who was sleeping soundly with a sword in her arms beside her.

Then, with a sigh, Toriumi turned around and looked at the closed closet in the distance.

For some reason, her dear sister Kaohsiung was hiding inside in shame, as if she was too ashamed to see the ship.

"I really envy you, Maya, for being able to sleep soundly every day."

Envious of Maya who was too innocent, Toriumi, who couldn't sleep, raised his red face, pulled up the quilt, and began to steal glances at the strange sounds faintly coming from the bedroom next door.

Fortunately, unlike Atago, she is a gentle and polite lady dog, so she will not do anything rude.

Restraining the dog's unique curiosity to peek, Niao Hai tossed and turned and finally had to bury her head with a pillow with a red face, pretending that she didn't know what was going on in Hei Kaohsiung.

It seems that the black dog that symbolizes the last face of the Kaohsiung class will eventually be eaten up by the commander (sad).

Chapter 1548: One Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven!!!

The night sky of Sakura City was still gray. Unlike a certain bustling dog bedroom, Maya who was really sleeping and Toriumi who was pretending to be asleep were maintaining a relatively quiet atmosphere in another bedroom.
