The time-based admiral of KanColle

Seeing that Richelieu had noticed her girlish thoughts, Kaixuan pursed her lips and couldn't help but tiptoe slightly, and then responded in a low voice: "Well, although at first I was just curious about my little brother's ability."

"ability?"

"Ah! No, I didn't say anything just now, wuwu~~~"

After realizing that he almost violated the confidentiality agreement between him and Yaxu, Kaixuan, with a blushing face, quickly changed the subject and said, "Actually, I don't know why, but I just felt at ease when he helped me."

"Safe?"

"Yes, he looks younger than me, but he is much more reliable than me."

As she spoke, Kaixuan, who felt a little frustrated, raised her neck, and a bright smile soon appeared on her delicate face: "So I don't want to lose to him. After all, I am Kaixuan's sister, right~?"

After saying that, Kaixuan put his small tender hands behind his back and blinked his eyes seriously: "So, I want to help him!"

"Really? Haha, since you have made up your mind, then stick to it firmly."

After patiently listening to the thoughts of his little ship girl, Richelieu, with a slight smile on his lips, did not say anything more, but took the triumphant little hand and headed towards the ruins.

After walking along the ruined area for a while, Richelieu and Triumph soon saw Yaxu who was trying to dismantle the nearby bed boards to use as firewood.

"so poor……"

Seeing Yaxu's struggling expression, Kaixuan suddenly felt pity for him.

"Sure enough, his family is gone."

Richelieu quietly watched the fierce actions of Yaxu, and closed his azalea eyes in admiration.

Then, Richelieu walked over with his soft legs wrapped in light pink stockings.

Oh no! It’s probably going to rain soon.

At the same time, Yaxu was looking at the cumulus clouds in the sky and gradually felt embarrassed.

"It's going to rain, so are you bothered by that, kid?"

Seeing that the little boy seemed to be worried about the weather, Richelieu called Yaxu softly: "So, do you need help?"

"Eh? Sister Triumph and Sister Richelieu."

After realizing that Iris's ship girl was looking for him again, Yaxu frowned instinctively.

Seeing this, Richelieu, who knew Yaxu's personality, couldn't help but smile and comforted him: "Don't worry, I know you don't want others to take care of you, I won't force you to go to the orphanage."

"Whoo~"

"But it's going to rain soon, isn't it? Where are you going to spend the night?"

Hearing this, Yaxu realized that his situation was getting worse. Because of the Sirens, there were no so-called inns or hotels here anymore, unless he could find a place to live like those foreign commanders.

But that would be no different from going to an orphanage. With his childish appearance, he is destined to have his so-called freedom restricted by adults.

"How about coming to live in our church?"

Suddenly, with this gentle question, Yaxu froze in place for a moment, and Richelieu, with a calm face, explained softly: "Don't worry, I don't intend to interfere with your whereabouts. We just provide you with a place to stay temporarily just to thank you."

"In a couple of days I'll find an empty house that one of the residents here doesn't have and give it to you. How about that?"

"Ah this."

Faced with Richelieu's thoughtful advice, Yaxu couldn't find a reason to refuse.

At this time, Triumph, who was next to Richelieu, suddenly poked his head out and whispered temptingly: "Sister Triumph will bring you some good things from the outside world in a few days, so just agree."

Alas, it seems that this little princess from the Iris camp really wants to find an opportunity to thank him. Wait...what did she just say! ?

Buy something from outside and bring it back to me in a few days?

After keenly catching this sensitive topic, Yaxu instinctively opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise: "Um, Sister Kaixuan, are you planning to go outside to buy things?"

"Well, after all, the snacks in the church will soon be finished. Then I'll give you some beautiful clothes~?"

"But don't you have to look after the church!?"

"Ugh?"

Noticing that Yaxu seemed very surprised, Kaixuan, who had regained a little sense of superiority as a sister, couldn't help but smile and patted Xiao Oupai, then said with a little pride: "Don't worry, sister, we are actually many times stronger than other ship girls. For such a small matter as procurement, it is enough for me and Lumang to go. There is no need to trouble Sister Richelieu and the others."

Because of the threatening Siren Mist, even if the ship girls here want to pass through it, they actually need to travel with other ship girls to ensure their safety.

That's why Yaxu never considered asking for help from the Iris Ship Girl who was in charge of the church.

but now……

I, I suddenly like Sister Triumph and Sister Richelieu the most!

Free Iris is the best faction in the world, I will support Iris forever!!!

As his inner moral integrity disappeared, Richelieu, who was originally elegant, suddenly began to shine in Yaxu's eyes.

"Um... Ma, please excuse me."

Finally, suppressing her shame and blushing, Yaxu finally lowered her "stubborn" little head towards Richelieu and Triumph, and instantly developed a liking for Richelieu and Triumph.

After all, Triumph couldn't possibly lie to him, so the ship girl of Iris Church must have the confidence to pass through the Siren Mist at will.

strange?

Naturally, facing Yaxu who suddenly softened and lowered his head, Richelieu couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, a little confused about the reason for Yaxu's change of attitude.

But in this way, she could finally repay the child's kindness on Kaixuan's behalf.

Half an hour later——

Heavy rain began to fall from the sky, and inside the sacred Iris Church, all the Iris ship girls summoned by Richelieu showed silly expressions at the same time.

"Everyone, I, I will take good care of him and won't cause any trouble for you!"

The tender voice was full of determination. Kaixuan, who was standing next to Yaxu, quickly bent down towards the dazed Louis IX and the others, and whispered softly, "So please, everyone."

After all, if there was a little boy from another place in their Iris Church, it would have a great impact on the private space of the Iris ship girls.

"Anyway, this child will stay with us for a few days. I will ask someone to find a place for him to live afterward."

Looking at Kaixuan who carefully explained the situation to Yaxu, Richelieu, the flagship, quickly waved his soft arm and made a decision in a murmur: "So you just need to pay attention these days. This child is very polite, so don't worry."

"Wait! Lord Richelieu, but he is still a little boy, this is a little inappropriate."

Faced with this sudden news, Joan of Arc, who was wearing a knight's skirt, hurriedly advised solemnly: "We can send him to an orphanage or ask someone to take care of him."

"Okay, since this child has done Kaixuan a favor, we Free Iris must thank him. Besides, he doesn't like being looked after by others."

After finally explaining the cause of the matter, Richelieu nodded slightly and turned to look at Yaxu who was standing obediently next to Kaixuan.

Wow~ Is it really okay for him to take advantage of Kaixuan like this?

Looking at the Iris Ship Girl who was somewhat wary of him, Yaxu, who was under the eaves, couldn't help but sigh.

It's okay. Since he already knows that the strength of these Iris ship girls can easily break through the Siren encirclement, he just needs to ask them to go with him when they go out in a few days.

Although it was troublesome to take care of a child on the battlefield, he could only shamelessly ask for help from Kaixuan.

So he can leave this area in two or three days at most!

If nothing unexpected happens...

Chapter 801 The third day of the commander's absence, White Eagle

The commander has been away from the port for three days...

As the white mist of morning light enveloped the port area, the White Eagle Fleet, which had been searching the outside world for three whole days, was now dragging its tired bodies back to the port area, intending to take over shifts with the other White Eagle fleets that had stayed behind.

According to the search area divided with other camps, the White Eagle was responsible for searching from the Ohm area upwards, so she returned earlier than the fleets of other camps.

As expected, the commander is not in the Ohm area. Although they have searched the Ohm area for safety reasons, the commander should be trapped in some secret deep-sea base.

Thinking about the possibility of Yaxu's location, Cleveland and her friends, who seemed worried, quickly walked on the white sand beach and returned to the White Eagle dormitory area.

Seeing this, the remaining White Eagle ship girls, who had been anxious to find the commander in person, immediately prepared to set sail.

"Then let's go first."

Without having time to inquire about the specific situation of the search, Baltimore and the others hurriedly changed into their uniforms, whispered something to Cleveland and the others, then quickly deployed their respective ship uniforms and set off with the Dumpling-class aircraft carriers.

Seeing that his usually heroic and cheerful companions looked a little gloomy, Cleveland couldn't help but lower his red eyes and bit his lips slightly.

But the next second, Cleveland took a deep breath and patted his chest, then he stood up with his hands on his hips and smiled at Bremerton and the others who were walking away: "Everyone~ Keep going!!!"

Hearing the energetic shouts from Cleveland behind them, Baltimore was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at each other with Atlanta next to them.

"Huh, it really is her."

After a slightly emotional sigh, Baltimore, feeling a little more relaxed, smoothed the ends of his brown hair, raised his arms, and waved towards Cleveland with a smile.

Seeing this, the White Eagle ship girls nearby also turned around tacitly and waved slightly.

"Woo woo, it turns out that everyone is much stronger than Juno."

Seeing everyone who was able to respond, Juno, with tears in her eyes, couldn't help but pull her skirt pitifully, causing Reno to rush forward to comfort Juno.

Although these older sisters can still hold on for a while, the little ship girls in their port area have become very easy to cry.

Moreover, everyone who was worried about the commander began to feel strange.

After watching Baltimore and the others set sail, Cleveland couldn't help but turn his head to look at Enterprise, which was towing Long Island and Saratoga back to the aircraft carrier dormitory not far away.

"Wow~ Let go of sister Sarah, sister Sarah just wanted to see Essex and the others off (guilty)."

"Huhu, Nagashima is a ghost. You should ignore Nagashima."

Facing the struggling Long Island and Saratoga, Enterprise in front did not say much, but hid his eyes under his military cap, and after a while he slowly muttered: "Shifts... are to ensure efficiency, don't you understand?"

"Well, is Sister Enterprise really okay?"

Looking at Enterprise, who has been talking less and less recently, Bumblebee, who was being dragged along by Yorktown like Saratoga and the others, couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.

"Wow~ What should I do, Indy! If the Commander is really gone, there will be no one to share your collection with me in the future!"

"Shut up, sister. You can't say these things at a time like this."

Looking at Portland crying in his arms, the slow-witted Indianapolis couldn't help but blink his clear heterochromatic eyes, then stretched out his slender wheat-colored hand and mercilessly covered the little mouth of Portland who began to talk nonsense.

"Really? He's our commander. Don't you trust him?"

Seeing that Hobby and the others were about to burst into tears because of Portland's words, Cleveland quickly put on a confident smile and chuckled, "So don't worry. Didn't the Sakura Empire say that the commander can still use time stop? He will be fine."

"But……"

"Okay, everyone go back and take a shower and rest."

Seeing that the little ship girls around him wanted to ask him some questions, Cleveland, with his eyes wandering, pushed Harman, whose eyes were dazed, and planned to send these little guys back to the expulsion dormitory.

After all, if even she was discouraged, how would they, the White Eagles, survive the rest of the days?

However, at this moment, Cleveland, who was halfway through sending the little expellee, suddenly saw a confused rabbit holding two ponytails of snowy velvet, while Helena next to him was looking at Lafite helplessly.

"Rafi? Helena? What are you doing?"

"The commander...may have been shrunk, so Lafei~ is trying hard to find the commander."

With a soft and fluffy voice, Lafite, who usually looked confused and lazy, frowned his wine-red eyes, squatted seriously on the roadside and turned over the stones under the trees one by one.

Hearing Rafi's pitiful response, Helena, with a sad face, hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Rafi, who was determined to turn over the stone, and said softly: "Rafi, how could the commander be there? Rafi, you should go back to sleep quickly."

"Helena."

Looking at Rafi who was silent in Helena's arms, Cleveland quickly patted Helena's soft arm, and then agreed with Rafi with a sunny face: "It is indeed possible. In this case, I will accompany you to look for it, Rafi."

Realizing that Cleveland wanted to turn over rocks with him, Lafite closed his eyes and apologized softly, "I'm sorry for making everyone worry..."

After saying that, Lafite broke free from Helena's arms, hugged a bottle of red wine, and staggered away.

Commander, is he really okay?

After seeing the cold and delicate Lafite in such a confused state, Cleveland couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

After all, judging by the commander's abilities, he must be facing great pain and difficulties now.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be trapped here and unable to come back.

Thinking of this, Cleveland, who had just comforted everyone in a sunny and cheerful manner, instantly clenched her fists, then raised her head with a worried look on her face and looked at the empty sky.

But at the same time——

With the fragrance of the bathtub and the steaming mist, Yaxu, who had finally taken a hot bath, now lay limply beside the bathtub.
