Ming An, who was completely at odds with Akashi, heard the noisy Akashi and immediately started debugging the illusion program from the outside world.

"Meow meow?"

Mingshi, who was screaming and raising his tail, kicked him out of the illusion alone before he could react. He disappeared on the spot. Then Belfast and the others began to glow with light and were also kicked out by Mingan.

"commander!?"

Seeing that guy outside began to transmit his own ship girl without saying a word, Enterprise, who had roughly understood Yaxu's plan, couldn't help but sigh slightly, with a bit of helplessness in his deep purple eyes: "You..."

"I'm sorry, but don't worry, you won't have to wait long."

After smiling and nodding to Enterprise, Yaxu looked at Enterprise, which had also been spread out, and asked in a low voice: "So, can something like Inception really be done?"

[Yes, you can, but if you do that, the Siren's special energy in this device won't last long. I can't go back. A Siren Observer has come there to take over. You need to come out from time to time and use your ability to return the energy.]

"can."

After hearing Ming'an's affirmative answer, Yaxu breathed a sigh of relief. The most difficult thing about the Nagato problem for Yaxu was the lack of time. The shadow was not something that could be healed in a short time.

But if this immersive illusion could be made like a dream and time could slow down, Yaxu would have plenty of time to help Nagato.

"Um...Mr. Yaxu?"

Seeing that Tiancheng suddenly seemed to be able to completely control this illusion exercise device, he stood up slightly, held up his sleeves and asked softly: "I don't know, what does Lord Yaxu want to do?"

[The more people stay, the smaller the time ratio between the two sides will be, so if you want to go slower, it would be better for me to move the Sakura Empire's shipgirls out as well. ]

After hearing Ming An's reminder, Ya Xu turned to Tian Cheng and the others and smiled softly, "Really? Then Miss Tian Cheng, please cooperate with me."

"Wait! Honey, you're not interested in that short-tailed fox, are you?!"

Relying on the tacit understanding of the marriage ship, Akagi's charming face immediately became panicked after roughly understanding what Yaxu meant.

"So what impression do you have of me?"

Looking at Atago and the others whose expressions suddenly became subtle, Yaxu patted his forehead weakly, and then said softly: "Anyway, I will keep Nagato's sister Mutsu, and help deal with Nagato's problem."

"After all... even if she's the flagship of the Sakura Empire, she's just a small ship girl, isn't she?"

Since Nagato has become completely dependent on this illusion, then let's solve her psychological problems in the illusion!

----

the next day……

The towering cherry tree still holds up its shade that blocks out the sun, emitting tiny bits of pink light, while the falling cherry petals emit bursts of strange harmony as they fall.

An unknown amount of time had passed since she slept. Amid the graceful sounds of the cherry blossoms, even her sleeping posture was exceptionally dignified. She gently raised her long eyelashes and opened her clear golden eyes.

Familiar ceiling...

Feeling slightly sleepy, Nagato, who was wearing a pink pajamas with white gauze, got up and looked around. A huge white fox was lying beside her. There was no sound outside the quiet window. The screens and indoor bonsai were all the familiar colors.

"Fuso... No, they're away on a long journey..."

Nagato instinctively wanted to ask the serving miko to wash him, but he soon realized that everyone was gone.

No, that statement is a bit strange. To be precise, yesterday, Mikasa and the others hurriedly reported to her that there was something very important and that they were going to take everyone on an expedition, and then they left here in a hurry.

Now, she was the only one left in the once bustling Sakura Sacred Tree. Fortunately, her sister Mutsu was still here with her.

Come to think of it...it seems that Tiancheng and the others also left a servant to serve them specifically?

It seems that that human has helped the Edo period a lot, so Mikasa and the others deliberately brought him to the sacred tree of the Edo period. Well, in order for the people of the Edo period to worship him, he has to take good care of his appearance.

Blinking her watery eyes, her tall black fox ears twisted restlessly, Nagato looked down at a golden bell beside the bed, she couldn't help but pursed her red lips, a faint blush rose on her lotus-like face, shyness faintly entwined between her brows.

"Forget it, forget it. I am Nagato, the military spirit of the Sakura Empire. It's easy for me to take care of myself!"

Nagato muttered to himself that he felt a little embarrassed to find an unfamiliar human to serve him, then stood up and changed into his most commonly worn, and at the same time most solemn, red dress and white veil.

Then, after taking off the silky white over-the-knee socks on her slender and smooth calves, Nagato also deliberately changed into Japanese short cloth socks for a more dignified look to enhance her sense of maturity.

Finally, Nagato walked to a large bronze mirror of the same height and began to look at himself.

Her fair and flawless face was faintly blushed, and her clothes of the Imperial Palace were neatly worn on her petite body. Now, she could go out and show her perfect image of the Son of God to the people of the Imperial Palace as usual.

Well, compared to that idiot who kicks the quilt all day and refuses to get out of bed, Nagato obviously cares much more about the face of the flagship. At least he doesn't want to show off by riding on Yaxu's neck (laughs).

Chapter 283 Curious Mutsu and Introverted Chang Meng

In the dormitory area of ​​Sakura Empire outside the illusion, under the hill covered with the light screen, Ming An was surrounded by debugging equipment and lines, and was silently debugging the light screen in front of him.

"Stay away from me, I don't like being surrounded by you."

With scarlet eyes full of rejection, Ming An turned her head to look at the ship girls who surrounded her behind her, and couldn't help showing displeasure: "I said, your commander and I are in a cooperative relationship."

She needs Yaxu's ever-growing time ability to try to change the ending of her world, while Yaxu needs her intelligence and knowledge about the Sirens. She is obviously much more reliable than the phantom with unknown purpose.

However, because of the strong siren scent on her, if Yaxu had not come out yet, Qiye and the others would have almost opened fire on her.

"Tsk! Obviously compared to the so-called love and bond, hatred is the most direct way for a ship girl to evolve."

Ming, who really didn't like being surrounded by a bunch of ship girls, her dark ruby-like cat eyes began to shrink, but due to the agreement with Yaxu, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. She just looked at Enterprise coldly with a sneer on her lips.

"The Siren form suits you better... Enterprise, cold yet powerful, annihilates the enemy in flames."

Ignoring Ming An's provocative words to her, Enterprise sighed softly, narrowed his deep purple eyes slowly, lowered the navy hat on his head, and said bluntly: "Our commander, how is he now, how long will it take for him to come out."

"Humph, who knows, but if you wait for one day, a month and a half will pass in there."

Ignoring Enterprise and the others' concerns, Ming secretly sneered to herself, "How ridiculous, a ship girl is dependent on humans or something..."

----

At this moment, at the suspended outer corridor of the Japanese Sakura Sacred Tree, Yaxu looked at Mutsu, who was lying on the mahogany railing and still chattering, with a little surprise, and was a little shocked by his strong curiosity.

"Why is the sky so blue? Why can birds fly? There are so many incredible things in the world!"

Leaning against the guardrail, shaking her legs wrapped in black knee-high socks, like her sister Nagato, Mutsu also has bright golden pupils, short ink-dyed hair that reaches her eyebrows, a phoenix crown headdress, and a cute red and white shrine maiden costume. In her hand, she also has a Kagura bell that Mutsu treats like a toy.

"The sky is blue because Mr. Sun wants to leave the blue to the sky, and the birds can fly because the sky likes Mr. Bird's wings."

Gently patting Mutsu's curious little head, Yaxu continued to answer Mutsu's questions half seriously and half childishly.

By the way, after he was left alone with Mutsu and Nagato, a day later, the introverted Nagato stayed in her bedroom all day and was completely unwilling to come out, except for occasionally asking Mutsu to come in to keep her company.

But Mutsu is much more cheerful than her sister, although... she has a lot of problems.

"Why does Mr. Sun want to give blue to the sky? Why does the sky like Mr. Bird's wings? Does this have anything to do with their ability to fly?"

Just like a nesting doll, little stars began to appear in Mutsu's big eyes. Then he shook his little feet and continued to ask Qi Yaxu.

He and Mutsu had been on the suspended outer corridor for six hours, one daring to ask questions and the other daring to answer, and this went on for half a day.

Yes, although Mutsu is cheerful and approachable, and his words and actions seem to be in line with her. He is not as majestic as his sister Nagato, but because he is very curious, he will ask "why?" about everything.

To some extent, the miko Fuso, Yamashiro and even her sister Nagato all love and fear Mutsu.

After all, normal people would instinctively feel disgusted when faced with endless questioning from others, however...what Yaxu lacks the least is the so-called patience.

With a smile on his face, he gently rubbed the inky black ears on Mutsu's head. Yaxu also followed Mutsu's example and lay on the mahogany railing, continuing to answer Mutsu's questions.

I don't know how long it took. I could solve my thirst and hunger by resetting myself. Yaxu had to accompany Mutsu until the night fell. The pink fluorescence of the huge cherry tree above my head seemed particularly bright.

"And... and... well, Mutsu, Mutsu can't think of any more questions. Mr. Human is amazing."

Finally, when Mutsu was biting his little finger in confusion, he tilted his head and showed a bright smile: "Whether it is Fuso sister or Yamashiro sister, they all think that Mutsu's repeated questions are very troublesome. Nagato sister is the same. There are so many questions that she can't answer."

"Thank you for the compliment. Now that Mutsu has finished asking questions, it will be my turn."

Looking at Mutsu's admiring eyes, Yaxu, without changing his expression, curiously mentioned Nagato: "Mutsu, do you still remember that you and Nagato sister were left here alone?"

"Mutsu, remember! At that time, the sea was still, and my sister looked very worried and scared. But my sister coaxed me to sleep all day. Why is that?"

"Yeah……"

Listening to Mutsu's naive and ignorant words, Yaxu muttered to himself, and then secretly glanced at the red pillar behind him.

Yes, I don't know when, our Lord Nagato has been lying there, looking over secretly, as if he wants to call Mutsu over, but because of Yaxu, he is a little embarrassed to come out.

Because Amagi and the others had left, Nagato, who was lying on the bed with nothing to do, soon began to miss his sister, Mutsu. He could have endured it when he was alone here with Mutsu before, but after feeling the bustle when everyone from the Sakura Empire returned, Nagato began to get unaccustomed to the silence in the room.

Seeing this, Yaxu gently poked Mutsu's cheek and whispered a few words to him.

After hearing this, the innocent Mutsu immediately jumped down from the red wooden railing out of curiosity, and ran towards the frightened Nagato with his small steps, pulling Nagato's red dress covered with white gauze, and asked, "Sister, sister, why are you hiding there? Are you playing a game?"

"Stupid, stupid Mutsu, you made me look for you for so long."

After quickly comforting Mutsu who wanted to ask her questions again, Nagato coughed lightly, still for the sake of her so-called majesty of the Sakura Empire, she walked out, raised her white wrist, and said solemnly: "I am the current flagship of the Sakura Empire, the son of God of the Sakura Empire, open your eyes wide and worship me—"

Well, I've heard this before.

With a faint smile, Yaxu immediately performed the etiquette of the Sakura Empire, and then said with a smile: "Well, Lord Nagato, I have prepared hot water for washing and meals, Lord Nagato should go and use them quickly."

"You're lying, I clearly saw you playing with my sister here!"

"Ah, Nagato-sama, have you been watching for so long?"

"Uh! Ugh..."

Smiling at Nagato who was twisting his toes awkwardly, Yaxu replied meaningfully: "But I didn't lie, Nagato-sama."

Chapter 284 A budding idea

It's another afternoon -

Kneeling on the gold-thread cushion in the main hall, Nagato was having a meal, looking down at the steaming Japanese food from Sakura cuisine on the wooden tray. His ink-stained tall fox ears swayed slightly, and he picked up the bamboo chopsticks and began to taste it thoughtfully.

Well, the taste is normal. Oh, that human... seems a little weird.

Clearly, the human had been accompanying Mutsu these past two days, answering Mutsu's strange and endless questions. However, under such circumstances, the human still prepared the cleaning, meals, and washing in an orderly manner... Clearly, she was staring at the human as she spoke.

Of course, more importantly, although only two days had passed since Amagi and the others left, Nagato, who was beginning to feel lonely, discovered that his sister Mutsu was no longer his own!

Woohoo, I wonder how long it will take for Shancheng, Jiangfeng and the others to come back...

Since none of the friends he usually spent time with were around anymore, Nagato, who didn't have many hobbies, had genuinely begun to feel lonely.

"I'm done eating!"

Accompanied by a lively voice, Mutsu, who had hurriedly finished his meal, immediately stood up hastily, waving his red and white shrine maiden sleeves, as if he was about to go out to play with Yaxu.

"Wait, Mutsu."

Seeing that Mutsu was about to sneak away again, Nagato quickly stood up and grabbed Mutsu: "Wait a minute, accompany your sister to do the daily blessing ceremony."

"Oh... okay, sis."

Although she is usually a moving hundred thousand whys, Mutsu is actually a very well-behaved sister.

"call."

After finally being able to keep Mutsu to accompany her, Nagato pursed her red lips and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she coughed lightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her bamboo shoot-like white face. Her eyes as clear as lake water showed concern for her sister: "Um, Mutsu, do you have any questions for your sister?"

"No, sister."

With a cheerful smile, the active Mutsu shook his petite body and looked outside from time to time.

Stay~~~

Looking at Mutsu who no longer stopped him from asking why, Nagato couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of frustration.

"Really? Really not!?"

"Don't worry, sister. I'm eating, so Mutsu won't ask questions because the human gentleman said it's impolite."

Waving his hands up and down, Mutsu boasted to Nagato with a little pride, his hands on his hips and his head raised, "This makes Mutsu a good kid, right?"

Stay~~~

Nagato, who felt that her sister's status was in jeopardy, could no longer maintain her dignity. She quickly rolled up her red dress and white veil and pulled Mutsu, saying in a panic, "Well, let's go down and play, Mutsu."

"Hey? But isn't my sister going to do a blessing ceremony?"

"It doesn't matter if I do it later!"

Looking at Mutsu who tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face, Nagato nervously tucked his dark brown fox tail behind him and whispered to Mutsu softly, "How about playing shogi with your sister?"

"Huh? But Mr. Human said he wants to take Mutsu to fly a super-sized kite. Sister, come too."

After weighing the boring game of shogi and kite flying for a while, Mutsu shook his cat ears decisively, raised his snow-white neck, smiled and said, "That human is very interesting."

"Well! But, but..."

Hearing Mutsu's innocent invitation, Nagato immediately twisted his slender and smooth legs nervously. After all, as the flagship of the Sakura Empire, playing around in front of outsiders was really unbecoming of the Sakura Empire.

Although that human was specially left behind by Senior Mikasa to serve her, and was said to be a good and trustworthy human, as the current flagship of the Sakura Empire Combined Fleet, she really couldn't show her willful and childish behavior in front of others!
