The time-based admiral of KanColle

Hobi, who had just finished running up the grand staircase, had no time to rest when he saw Yaxu sitting at the door of the renovated garrison.

Their eyes met, and then——

"Rafi, let's go."

When Hobi saw Yaxu, his tall black rabbit-ear hair accessory stood up instantly like an antenna that received a signal. Then Hobi quickly changed direction and planned to return the same way in the rain.

Under the sound of falling rain, Yaxu leaned against the door and whispered, "Strange, doesn't this place belong to you, the ship girls? Why are you afraid of a strange human like me?"

"Yes, that's right."

Hobi, who was about to retreat, immediately widened his purple eyes, pouted, pulled Lafei back, and sat on the other side of the gate away from Yaxu.

It seems that he plans to hide from the rain here until the end. After all, personal image is very important to Hobby.

Besides, why would she deliberately hide from a human?

Hobby shook her brown leather boots and secretly glanced at the inexplicable human, while Rafi, who sat down with her, was still dozing off and looked like he didn't care about anything.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of rain outside.

After a while of thinking, Yaxu suddenly turned around and chuckled, "Do you mind chatting for a while, little guys?"

"No, Sister Enterprise said you humans are trouble."

After being approached, Hobby immediately shrank aside, holding the ball in his arms.

"Indeed, everyone here, including me, is like an insurance salesperson."

Yaxu's tone was low for a while, but he soon continued with a smile: "Come to think of it, you look like a star."

"Eh? A star? Really? No... No, even if you praise Hobi..."

As if a switch had been touched, Hobby suddenly became much more energetic, but immediately shut his mouth and turned away.

"No, because you are very confident and lively, it's easy for you to become the center of attention, right?"

Yaxu looked at Hobi who was deliberately avoiding talking to him and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, there is a star ship girl in the Rica area next to our Ohm area."

"Eh? Are the shipgirls out there stars?"

After talking about the topic of interest again, Hobi couldn't help but turn his head again.

"Yes, not only humans, but also many shipgirls from different factions in other regions that I like."

"Will even the ship girls from other factions like her?"

Hobi swung his legs and turned to ask, "Isn't it difficult for ship girls from different factions to get along?"

"Indeed, especially in your tutelage, there is a group of shipgirls..."

Yaxu also couldn't help but resonate with Hobi's words, because the number of ship girls in the outside world was not like here where they were gathered together in large numbers by camp, but were classified by region.

If the ship girls from different camps get along with each other all the time, they can communicate well, instead of having a kind of estrangement like here.

"But, music and other things are liked by all camps, right?" Yaxu leaned forward and continued chatting with Huobi.

"So, Hobi, this bunny hair accessory is cute, right?"

"It's cute, but it's a good idea to change your hair accessories once in a while, isn't it?"

"Well, what kind of hair accessory would be better for Hobi?"

"How about a big black and white bow? Or a bunny hair accessory of a different color?"

The rain outside began to thin out gradually, and as we chatted with each other, the rain gradually stopped, and Hobby was obviously very happy.

stare--

But ever since the rain stopped, the sight has become stronger and stronger.

Yaxu's gaze slowly moved to the left, and met Rafi's wine-red eyes, whose emotions could not be seen.

"Ahem, Hobi, the rain has stopped. You should go now."

Somewhat abruptly, Yaxu interrupted the excited Hobi and spoke.

"It's okay. I have nothing to do when I get back anyway..."

Hobi, who still wanted to talk, followed Yaxu's drifting gaze and looked behind him, and finally remembered Lafei who had been silent since the beginning.

Oops, Rafi likes to take a nap in the morning.

"I'm sorry, Rafi."

Hobi clasped his hands together and apologized to Rafi behind him, then quickly pulled Rafi up.

Seeing Hobi and Lafei about to leave, Yaxu also said: "Also, Hobi, if you see Saratoga on the road, please tell her so that I can play a prank on her tomorrow."

"Hey? Do you still know Sister Jia Jia?"

Hobi tilted his head in surprise, waved his pink and black long sleeves and asked.

"Well, if you see it on the road, please tell me."

After the rain stopped, Yaxu stood up and said with a smile, "Also, if you don't mind, can you tell me your names?"

"Of course, my name is Hobi~ Next to me is Rafi... Rafi! Stop hanging your head again! We are leaving!"

Hobby, who was no longer on guard, didn't have time to finish his words before the sleepy Laffey hung directly on him.

Looking at the two people playing around, Yaxu nodded and said, "Then I'll give you more advice. After all, I guess I'll be living here for a long time."

"OK Bye Bye."

Hobi tried to pull Rafi up, waved his sleeves back, and turned away.

Rafi and Hobi?

Looking at the two people leaving, Yaxu only saw that Lafei, who was hanging on Hobi tiredly just now, suddenly turned around and stared at him.

Those wine-red eyes were still hard to read.

"Alas, what is Lafite thinking? After being together for so long, I really can't tell."

Yaxu laughed at himself in his heart, but still put on a smile and waved to Lafei who turned to look at him.

call out--

However, Lafei turned his head back immediately, causing Yaxu to put down his hand a little embarrassedly.

Chapter 19 Ayanami

Well, let's go to Sakura Empire again. It is necessary to exercise.

After watching Lafite and Hobi leave, Yaxu simply took care of himself, then walked down the grand staircase again and turned towards the direction of Sakura Empire.

After the rain stopped, a lot of cherry blossoms fell from the trees on the hillside where the Sakura Empire dormitory area is located. The elegant fragrance of the flowers mixed with the crisp chirping of birds made people feel happy.

The unknown red cardinal fluttering among the pink clouds is particularly eye-catching.

Of course, it would be better if there wasn’t a cold, broad-bladed ship-cutting knife on his waist.

Yaxu raised his hands stiffly, but turned around and said, "Well, I'm here to find..."

"Shut up, speak up."

The cold and emotionless voice did not hesitate at all. The ship girl behind grabbed Yaxu's shoulder with one hand and then scolded: "The invasion of unknown persons must be eliminated."

After saying that, Yaxu felt the familiar chill on his spine begin to spread behind him, and quickly replied: "I know Kaohsiung, I came here to practice kendo with her!"

"……real?"

Although the ship girl behind him was still full of doubts, she also didn't feel that the human in front of her was lying, and gradually let go of Yaxu.

"call……"

After moving his wrists and shoulders, Yaxu was finally able to turn around and look at the ship girl behind him.

"Doubtful, I'm going to take you to Sister Kaohsiung."

With a questioning attitude, a girl holding a black and gold ship-cutting sword silently drew her sword to prevent Yaxu from suddenly escaping.

Small red and white mechanical ear hair accessories decorate the sides of her gray hair, and the revealing white sailor suit and sailor miniskirt expose her smooth belly completely.

There was a bandage under the unnaturally short skirt, and the slender calves were wrapped in a pair of long and short white silk stockings. The black cloth boots gave people a serious feeling.

What doesn't match this thin outfit is the expressionless face and the sharp dark orange eyes.

The destroyer of the Sakura Empire - Ayanami.

Is that Ayanami, the three-no ship girl of the Sakura Empire?

Yaxu started to walk forward as slowly as possible, while Ayanami followed him relentlessly, apparently intending to see clearly what this human was doing in Sakura Empire.

Unlike Raffi who is always sleepy and unclear whether he is awake or asleep, Ayanami's expression of emotions is monotonous and fixed, while Raffi is too lazy to show his emotions.

And this child is still as serious as ever.

Starting from the bottom of the hill, Yaxu was stopped by Ayanami, and they followed the redwood plank road all the way to the kendo hall halfway up the mountain again.

During this time, Yaxu tried to talk several times, but Ayanami ignored her and took Yaxu into the kendo hall.

"Alala, Mr. Human, have you been caught doing something bad? What a pity."

As soon as he entered the kendo hall, Atago's lewd teasing voice rang in his ears. Yaxu curled the corners of his mouth, turned his head and looked at Atago who was holding her chest and had a smirk on her face, and said helplessly: "Am I really caught red-handed?"

"Can I... kill you, Atago-san?"

"Eh? Um... let me think about it, maybe it's okay~~~"

"Ok."

Although Atago's words sounded like a frivolous joke, Ayanami didn't seem to hear it at all. She unfolded her ship suit with a serious face, drew her sword, and swung!

Ping! ! !

Amid the scattered sparks, ship suits appeared on both sides of Atago's body. She also drew her sword to block Ayanami's attack, and said angrily: "Well, little Ayanami, you really can't take a joke."

"Is this a joke? Sorry, I don't really understand."

After finally realizing that Atago had no intention of killing this human, Ayanami quickly removed her ship suit, bent down and apologized.

"Little Ayanami really hasn't changed. She's so cute."

Seeing Ayanami apologizing with a shameless look, Atago's gray-black ears shrugged. Atago couldn't help but lower her head to hug Ayanami and rub her little face.

After the crisis was resolved, Yaxu breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Um...Excuse me, is Kaohsiung here?"

"Sister Kaohsiung has to go out for something. By the way, aren't you afraid of humans?"

Holding the innocent-looking Ayanami, Atago half-narrowed her eyes, her dark yellow pupils full of scrutiny: "And the more I look at you, the more familiar you look."

"…Maybe, we've met before, but it doesn't matter, does it?"

Yaxu said this meaningfully while looking around the kendo hall. It seemed that everyone was away except Atago... So let's retreat first.

Strange humans.

Atago stared at Yaxu who had a calm face, and thought to himself, when Ayanami slashed at him just now, this human didn't even dodge. Did he really believe that she would stop Ayanami?

Besides, she and he had only met for one day. Isn’t this human afraid of death?

While Atago was making up her mind, Yaxu quietly started walking towards the door.

"Hmm? Human, are you planning on running?"

Soon, Atago saw through Yaxu's intention and called out to him.

"I wouldn't say I'm running, but if Kaohsiung isn't here, it's not convenient for me to exercise here, so..."

Yaxu tried his best to say goodbye with polite words, but when he saw Atago's increasingly flickering dark yellow eyes and the ears on her head moving constantly, he silently closed his mouth.

Yaxu, who had already had close contact with Atago, naturally knew what this meant.

The so-called...little abacus.

"Hehe, don't be so formal. Since Sister Kaohsiung has allowed you to stay here, don't leave. Besides, there's a little sparring partner here, right?"

As she was speaking, Atago patted the confused Ayanami's head and added, "Besides, I have a lot of questions I want to ask."

Faced with Atago's clear intentions, Yaxu did not say anything to refuse this time. Instead, he turned around calmly and walked into the kendo hall in slippers.

Naturally, it was impossible for Atago to stop Yaxu from leaving just because of a strangely familiar-looking human being. Therefore, if Yaxu lowered his head and left directly, Atago would not stop him.

But, is there any man in this world...who would hide from his wife? Even now it is still empty talk.
