The time-based admiral of KanColle

Watching the snow in the courtyard through the open corridor, Musashi, with his purple velvet tail curled up into a ball, slowly buried his face in the kotatsu table, ready to take a nap.

After all, the colder the weather gets, the more likely it is that these beast-eared girls from the Sakura Empire will feel sleepy in the winter.

"By the way, since we are going to eat Sukiyaki hot pot, we need to prepare the ingredients quickly."

Knowing that Shinano from the Yamato family was the kind of fat fox who would never go to the supermarket, Musashi sighed slightly and then slowly moved out from under the kotatsu, preparing to go out and buy some food for the refrigerator himself.

Although it is also possible to have the so-called port area takeout delivered, but as a fastidious fox with thunderous martial power, Musashi still prefers to personally select the appropriate ingredients, especially vegetables and meat.

Just as Musashi was wrapping himself up with his own purple velvet fox tails and going out, an Akashi suddenly came down from outside the snow-covered courtyard wearing a bamboo dragonfly.

"Master Musashi, would you like to try the new winter drink? This is the best red bean soup drink, meow!"

Akashi, who was wearing a sports field food promotion box with his soft neck, raised his green velvet cat ears and said to Musashi inside, "And the second can is half price! And there's also a free and fun lottery, meow~?"

The bright yellow cat eyes flashed with a shrewd gleam. Akashi smiled playfully and raised the sleeves of his cat clothes. Then he looked at Musashi expectantly, as if he was a stray cat begging to be adopted.

“A microwaveable red bean soup drink?”

Faced with Akashi who suddenly came to sell goods, Musashi, who occasionally shook his fox ears, had no intention of deliberately refusing. He directly took out a large fox wallet from the wide purple-gold priestess sleeves and walked to the outer corridor facing the courtyard.

"In that case, let's have two cans... No, let's have three cans."

"Thank you for your patronage, meow! Of course, there's no discount on the third can, meow."

After handing three cans of red bean soup to Musashi, Akashi, who looked very happy, then took out a lottery paper box and reminded him, "Master Musashi can now draw a prize. The special prize is two kilograms of Matsusaka beef."

"Really? That sounds good."

Unexpectedly, Akashi's prize was so generous. With his head tilted slightly, Musashi took out a piece of paper from the box.

As the slender hand as white as jade pulled open the lottery ticket, a bright special prize came into view.

Then, Akashi took out the bell and immediately congratulated Musashi with stars in his eyes: "Congratulations on winning the prize, meow!"

"The special prize is a one-day companion who can eat, sleep and chat with you, meow!"

"Could it be the commander?"

Just as Musashi, who suddenly realized the situation, narrowed his eyes and asked, Akashi, with a wandering look, suddenly looked guilty and began to retreat quietly.

"Anyway, Master Musashi, you've already won the prize, meow. So Akashi will take his leave now, meow!!!"

Having said that, the petite and soft Akashi hurriedly took out her bamboo dragonfly and flew away, fearing that Musashi would catch her.

Of course, as a dignified and insightful purple fox, Musashi would not make a riot that would damage his image. Instead, he sighed helplessly in the direction where Akashi was flying away.

It was obvious that this green velvet profiteer cat from Sakura Empire had deliberately let her win this strange prize.

As for why such a strange prize was set up, according to Musashi's speculation, it might be...

Just when Musashi was gradually seeing through everything, not long after, there was a sudden sound of a door being opened outside.

Then, New Jersey, wearing a winter uniform, straightened her curvy figure, walked in with her tight long legs, and carried a luggage bag in a neat and tidy manner.

"Hmm, so this is it? It's really nice to have a boat to entertain you."

New Jersey, who looked in a good mood with her lavender waist-length hair, lifted up her black silk waistband under her White Eagle uniform with one hand, then tilted her head and called out to the outside, "Akashi said this is the place, Kirsaji."

On the other side, looking at New Jersey who had inexplicably rushed in, Musashi, who hugged his chest, couldn't help but ask a subtle question.

"So, did you win any prize, Miss New Jersey?"

"Hmm? Musashi, how did you know that?"

Facing the question from Musashi, the cheerful New Jersey couldn't help but show a proud expression and said confidently: "Yes, today I won a free Sukiyaki pot ticket at the lottery machine in Akashi, and it also comes with a free accommodation."

"But wait, didn't Akashi say that you, Musashi, would be in charge of the reception?"

At this point, New Jersey, seeing the kotatsu table, was like a so-called social terror ship, and sat right in with a naive look on her face.

"Yes, this quilt table with a built-in heater is really warm. Qiersaji, come in and sit down quickly."

Seeing the pure-tempered Kirsaji being pulled over by New Jersey, Musashi could only hold up Fox Face leisurely.

As expected, had she been fooled by Akashi from the very beginning, and was this the price she had to pay for her winter laziness?

at the same time--

Putting aside Musashi's troubles for now, Yaxu was also quietly sneaking inside the Sakura Empire camp at this moment.

After all, according to statistics from the port area, the Sakura Empire's ship girls are the ones who least like to go out in winter. They basically stay in their kotatsu and don't come out to move around. In other words, this is the only way they can quietly find a place to hide.

Thinking of this, Yaxu took a deep breath and carefully poked his head out from the corner of the wooden corridor to see if there was any strange little cat girl chasing after him.

After all, if he continues like this, he will really step into an unspeakable moral abyss.

Since he knew that the black-bellied Observer was the type of person who would get more excited the more ashamed he felt, the observer with no moral bottom line would do such a thing if he didn't try to escape seriously!

No matter what, it would be too much to attack those Q-version mini cat girls. After all, they are as soft and cute as rag dolls that can dance in the hands, and he doesn't want to see the command cat version of Cat Cream Puff.

After imagining for a moment the shocking scene of the commanding cat girl being stuffed by the commander, Yaxu couldn't help but sigh, then looked around vigilantly, ready to run away at any time.

But at this moment, a bunny face that looked totally natural suddenly popped out from behind Yaxu.

"Strange, Commander, are you playing hide and seek?"

With her white bunny ears and cute bangs, Shimafu looked innocent. She exposed her smooth shoulders from her baggy coat while she snuck behind Yaxu's waist and whispered, "Who is that ghost? Can Shimafu join in?"

Shimakaze, can't you see that your dear commander is actually running for his life?

Facing Shimafeng who was eager to play hide-and-seek, Yaxu naturally didn't want to hide anything, but immediately explained to Shimafeng: "The observer has turned into a commanding cat and is now chasing me."

"So the Commander must find a suitable place to hide, at least until she loses interest."

"Eh? Why did the Siren transform into a commanding cat to chase you?"

Faced with Shimafu's cute confused expression, Yaxu fell into silence and silently pulled Shimafu's rabbit ears.

After all, it is not suitable for the innocent little rabbit to know too many things.

“Aaaaah, my ears are really not good…!”

After being rubbed on the bunny ears by his beloved commander for a while, Shimakaze, whose body went limp, had no choice but to quickly snuggle up to Yaxu, then slightly arched his slender body, and then pitifully closed his calves.

Seeing this, Yaxu couldn't help but ask with concern: "So, Shimakaze, are you taking a walk now?"

"No, Shimakaze is busy delivering food for everyone. After all, no one likes to go out much these days."

Shimakaze, wearing a tight-fitting swimming uniform and with amber eyes, actively raised the milk tea in his hand and explained, "I'm going to give this to Xiao Tiancheng later."

"Really? Then the Commander will confiscate it now. Rather than this, Shimakaze, you should come and help the Commander."

After snatching Xiao Tiancheng's milk tea, Yaxu, who was really insecure, carried Shimafeng in front of him, trying to rely on Shimafeng's sensitive animal hearing to help him be on guard.

After all, if you wait until the seductively dressed mini commander cat pounces on your face, it will be too late!

"Got it. Shimakaze will escort the commander to a suitable place to hide!"

Seeing that Yaxu seemed to have no idea where to hide, Shimafeng, who was as active as the protagonist, would naturally not ignore her husband. Instead, she immediately walked forward to explore the way on behalf of Yaxu.

So the next second, in the corridor passing through the atrium, Shimakaze poked his head out from behind the railing, and then looked left and right.

After a while, Shimafeng, who had shrank his head like a little rabbit, came back again and quickly gestured to Yaxu behind him.

"Wait a minute Commander, Shimakaze will find a room without a ship so you can use the time stop to hide in it."

At this point, as the white, purple and cherry-colored mist began to gather rapidly, four rabbit clones that looked as innocent and cute as Shimakaze suddenly appeared around.

"As fast as the island wind! Anyway, everyone, help the commander find a suitable place to hide."

Just when Shimakaze was about to use his rich experience in hide-and-seek to call his bunny clones to pick a bunny nest for the commander to hide in, Yaxu suddenly noticed the element and looked at the purple-sakura bunny clones with a subtle expression.

"Um, Shimakaze, have you ever thought about why there are five Shimakazes here?"

"Ugh?"

Hearing Yaxu's sudden question, the usually reckless Shimakaze finally noticed the four rabbit clones around him.

But for these rabbit clones who were looking at each other in surprise, Shimakaze couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands, saying in amazement: "Oh my God! Could it be that Shimakaze has become even more powerful (surprise)? "

"Idiot! How can this be possible?!"

After forcibly interrupting Shimakaze's fantasy with an anxious voice, the shy No. 3 Shimakaze quickly pointed to the Rabbit clone on the far left and hurriedly urged: "This is just a fake, get rid of her quickly!"

"Ah! You're obviously the fake one!"

Facing the accusation from No. 3 Shimakaze, No. 3 Shimakaze, who had been stunned for a while, suddenly pointed back with a red face.

In response to this, the expressionless No. 1 Shimakaze could not help but make a very straightforward suggestion to No. 2 Shimakaze and the original Shimakaze: "There is no other way, just kill them both at once. It doesn't matter if the clone dies anyway."

"Stop messing around, you guys!"

Following the shy question from No. 3 Shimakaze, the Shimakazes looked at each other and then drew their swords at the same time, and then slashed at No. 3 Shimakaze on the left at the speed of light.

But in the next moment, the rabbit clone suddenly turned into a mini version of the kitten. While dodging the slash, she said jokingly, "Indeed, no matter what, it's impossible for me not to recognize myself."

"Commander, run! Shimakaze will cover your rear!"

Woohoo! Shimakaze, the commander will call for a ship to rescue you later!

Seeing that Shimakaze was determined to sacrifice himself to delay the Observer for him, and fearing that the Observer would strip off the command cat girl's clothes and pounce on him, Yaxu had to quickly use time stop to disappear from the spot.

Seeing this, the observer who was blocked by four island winds for a moment couldn't help but glance at the direction where Yaxu disappeared with interest.

"Just surrender, Miss Siren!"

Just as Shimakaze was about to rush forward like a meteor, the observer who had turned into a mini kitten girl suddenly whistled and looked at Shimakaze and others with a playful expression.

Then, a group of chubby command cats and a group of angry kittens in military uniforms poked their heads out from behind the railings of the atrium corridor.

"Meow? Meow!?"

"Oh! No, I didn't bully her. No! She is not your companion at all!"

Faced with the strong condemnation from the commanding cats, Shimafeng was panicked for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

In response, the cute little cat girls in military uniforms puffed up their colorful cat ears, whistled, and directed the chubby command cats around them to take out tomatoes and other small things and throw them at Shimakaze.

"Woohoo, Shimakaze really didn't bully your companions."

Seeing that the observers had already coordinated the command cats in the port area in advance, Shimakaze, who was unable to explain, had to cover his rabbit ears and retreat.

On the other side, in Purple Fox's courtyard, just as Musashi was pouring tea for New Jersey and the others, the panting Yaxu rushed in from outside without any warning, and then closed the door again, panting.

Chapter 1817: Seeking Help from the Ship Girl Without Any Image

Inside Musashi's garden——

As the slightly flustered Yaxu hurriedly ran in from outside, New Jersey, who was sitting at the fireplace table, immediately raised his innocent face without being noticed, and then glanced at Musashi with a playful look on his face who had his fox ears erected beside him.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you guys have special services here, you're really polite~?"

After mistaking Yaxu for the delivery service hired by Musashi, New Jersey, who was always open-minded and casual, naturally didn't bother to consider the reason. He just patted the thigh of his sister who was sitting cross-legged under the kotatsu and greeted Yaxu enthusiastically.

"Well, come sit on my lap and peel an orange for me~?"

Why is it that the female captains in the harbor always fail to see that their beloved commander is actually running for his life?

Seeing that New Jersey and Musashi had no idea about the commander's situation, Yaxu had no choice but to swallow his pride and hurriedly asked Musashi for help: "Hurry! Let me find a place to hide quickly!"

After all, the innocent little rabbit Shimakaze had already covered the commander's rear, and he didn't want Shimakaze's sacrifice to go to waste.

"Wait, Commander, are you running for your life?"

Hearing the call for help from Commander Yaxu, New Jersey, who was looking at Musashi and Qiersaji in bewilderment, was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head with a look of suspicion.

On the other side, Musashi, who was wearing a purple and gold shrine maiden's uniform, also revealed a suspicious expression.

Because it was usually the commander who chased innocent ship women, it was rare to see the commander being so scared that he wanted to find a place to hide.

"So, who are you playing with now, Commander?"

Just when Musashi thought that her beloved husband was playing erotic games with a certain ship, Yaxu sighed softly and did not bother to explain, but hurried to the kotatsu.

Then, Yaxu, who had no image of a commander at all, suddenly pulled open the quilt of the kotatsu and buried his head in it.

"Observer, she is chasing me. I have to hide for a while until she loses interest!"

"Pfft~ Do we need to hide from that Siren girl? Honey, you are exaggerating."

Seeing that Yaxu was so scared that he stuffed half of his body under the kotatsu like an ostrich, New Jersey, who couldn't help laughing, couldn't help but confidently straighten up the seductive black silk bag lining his uniform.

"You know, even when she stands on tiptoe, she's still not as tall as me. Honey, you're really becoming more and more useless."

"But don't worry, when the time comes I'll just punch her twice for you Honey, and then hold her with my arms so you can spank her~?"

While Jiaohantu was busy patting her big chest to reassure Yaxu, Musashi on the other side was more cautious and asked softly under the kotatsu: "So, what does Miss Observer plan to do to you, Commander?"
