The time-based admiral of KanColle

"Eh? Um, actually Maya is older than me."

"Ah? But I feel like Toriumi-san is more mature."

"Hey! I'm listening! Human!"

It was another familiar daily routine. During the break, Kaohsiung drank some water to refresh her mouth. Looking at Yaxu who had completely become one with her sister ship, she was completely speechless.

This human being can not only speak normally.

He spoke childish words to Maya without hesitation, and talked about romantic flower language stories with Toriumi. And with her...

"Sister Kaohsiung, can the miracle of water wearing away stone allow me to emit sword energy? Haha, I'm just kidding. Then let's start practicing sword skills, Sister Kaohsiung!"

Seeing Yaxu quickly put away his smile and raise his sword to prepare for battle, Kaohsiung couldn't help but think about it.

What made her feel most complicated was that Yaxu came for the fixed two hours every day, and her sister ships that she usually slacked off on from time to time also came, and... there were also many small ship girls who occasionally passed by.

"Go! Humans!"

"Well, it turns out that it's still impossible to beat Sister Kaohsiung."

"It's better to lose early, so you can play with us early."

Kaohsiung raised his eyebrows again and couldn't help but look at the little ship girls next to him. Now, all the little ship girls passing by the hillside of Sakura Mountains like to come in and take a look.

"Ala, Sister Kaohsiung, are you in a daze?"

Following the familiar teasing chuckle, Kaohsiung immediately came to her senses, turned around and saw Atago, with a teasing look on her face, patting her with a smile.

Come to think of it, Atago seems to have not changed much recently.

Just as Kaohsiung was thinking this, he saw Atago's Yaxu's face changed and he silently took two steps back.

"Ugh?"

After noticing this anomaly, Kaohsiung took a deep breath and stared at Atago with a bad look out of habit: "You're not causing trouble again, are you?"

"Sister Kaohsiung! Why are you suddenly suspicious of your own sister?"

Atago laughed and said coquettishly, and for some reason, Kaohsiung felt something was wrong.

----

After Yaxu's past reincarnations echoed in his mind, Kaohsiung, who was sleeping on the bed, quickly lifted the quilt and sat up.

I shouldn’t have believed you, Atago!!!

"Sister Kaohsiung! Sister Atago! You guys are finally awake. Seriously, you guys have been sleeping for almost the entire day."

Toriumi, who had been standing by silently, suddenly threw herself into Kaohsiung's arms with tears in her eyes. She was most afraid that something had happened to her companion.

"Yawn~~~ What a good 'dream', right, Sister Kaohsiung."

Kaohsiung, who was still a little dazed, turned her head slightly and saw Atago, who was stretching lazily and looking at her with a smile.

"Torikai! Bring me my sword first!"

"Hey!!! What's going on?"

"Hate it! Sister Kaohsiung, don't be impatient~~~"

Chapter 93 End

dusk-

"Huh, ha, don't you know how to control time? Why not use it!?"

Essex was breathing slightly, his long light purple hair drooping gently, his amber eyes were staring at Yaxu at this moment, his original impetuous mood had completely disappeared.

Free fighting?... It's really not easy to be a commander, but fortunately he has some experience in close combat.

He learned royal etiquette and service etiquette from Royal Belfast, knightly swordsmanship from War-weariness, and kendo from Kaohsiung...

In short, he has been exposed to all kinds of things and has gotten used to them.

Yaxu, who was pressed under Essex, was now very tired, with sweat running down his cheeks.

"Since you haven't deployed your ship suit, why should I use that ability?"

Yaxu chuckled, then let go and lay on the dusty ground, and said slowly: "So, Essex, what is your answer?"

"..."

Essex was silent. After all, she had known for a long time that Yaxu had been recognized by everyone, and she was just acting on impulse.

However, even in this situation, this human actually joined her in playing this kind of farce?

Haha, this is so ridiculous. She actually dragged her future commander to fight him in close combat.

Feeling upset, Essex also loosened his hand that was clasping Yaxu's shoulders, sat down, drew up his knees, and buried his face in them. After a long while, he said softly, "I lost a long time ago."

"Pfft, what are you saying? It's like I stole the company away."

Hearing Essex's inexplicable loser's speech, Yaxu also sat up and looked at the autistic Essex. She raised her head slightly and saw Qiye standing quietly on the corridor in the distance, watching the two of them.

"I really am being unreasonable."

Faced with Yaxu's tolerance, Essex suddenly came to her senses, took a deep breath, and stood up. Her originally bright amber eyes were now full of guilt. She had been watching the backs of her predecessors in the company since the birth of this world, and now that the company has its own home, naturally she will spend less time with them.

Essex waved his hand gently, and the bald eagle that had been hovering in the sky quickly flew down.

After taking his White Eagle coat, Essex nodded slightly to Yaxu and silently prepared to turn around and leave.

"Stop, Essex."

With a calm tone, Enterprise, dressed in a white military uniform, walked over from the corridor.

"Qi, Qi, Qi senior!!!"

At that moment, Essex's whole body stiffened, and he turned around tremblingly and saluted with the White Eagle.

Looking at Essex who blushed all of a sudden, Yaxu looked at Enterprise with mixed feelings.

"Huh, Enterprise, I'll leave it to you then."

"No, please."

Qiye lightly pressed down his hat, bent down, reached out, and pulled up the sitting Yaxu.

"Ugh?"

Yaxu's pupils widened, looking at the confident smile of Enterprise, and asked in confusion: "Um, Enterprise?"

"senior?"

Essex, who had been prepared to be taught a lesson by the company, was also a little stunned.

Please, this human? What do you mean?

With the corner of his mouth raised, Qiye suddenly turned to Essex and ordered: "Essex, from today on, you will live with Yaxu."

"Ugh!!!"

"Ha! Wait, Senior, I am willing to be punished. There is no need to..."

"This is an order!"

Qiye said lightly, then looked seriously at Yaxu who had a wry smile on his face, and jokingly said, "Why, you have no confidence?"

"Hey, Enterprise, you're not going to..."

Yaxu only felt a chill on his forehead. Due to the tacit understanding between him and the company, he still vaguely guessed the company's plan.

"This is the best way, isn't it?"

Qiye said meaningfully, and Yaxu saw the long-lost bit of cunning in Qiye's blue eyes.

Enterprise, this is...packing up Essex and throwing it to him.

"Enterprise senior!"

"Essex, stay in Ashenna as a frigate for a week. This is your punishment."

"senior!!!"

Essex's cry of disbelief was heard from the sky above the White Eagle dormitory area.

----

Chongying dormitory area——

"Torikai, Maya, please go back to your rooms. I have something to say to Atago."

After silently letting the confused and worried Toriumi and Maya leave, Takao raised the sword in his hand and mercilessly aimed it at Atago, who was sitting on the bed with a "well-behaved" look on her face, and said sternly: "Atago, I won't let you go to Yaxu's place."

"Huh? How could this happen! Sister Kaohsiung, it's obvious that Akagi and the others' memories have been restored a long time ago. Don't you want Yaxu anymore, Sister Kaohsiung?"

Atago widened her eyes and looked at Kaohsiung who was staring at her, and her ears softened.

Kaohsiung closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't cause trouble for Yaxu, Atago, the previous reincarnation was too chaotic."

"Hey? Sister Kaohsiung, you are really silly and cute."

Atago chuckled lightly and said, "Since Yaxu was able to calm Akagi and the others down this time, there must be a way. What are you worried about, Sister Kaohsiung?"

"That's enough, Atago."

Kaohsiung turned around slowly and said in a deep voice: "For me, as long as Yaxu can stick to kendo, that's enough. Don't do those excessive things anymore."

"Sister, you are really rigid."

When Atago saw Kaohsiung turning around, she rolled her eyes and stood up quietly: "I heard that Yaxu can stop time, so this time he can..."

"Okay, Atago, we've already done a lot of things we shouldn't have done."

Kaohsiung's eyes were filled with loss and guilt, then he looked down at the sword in his hand, and then became determined.

"Atago, since we are people who practice kendo, we cannot lose our minds because of so-called love, so..."

Kaohsiung said rationally, nodding to himself, and turned to continue, "Let's go to the kendo hall and practice kendo properly... Atago!?"

In the empty room, facing Kaohsiung, there was a lonely pillow standing there.

Chapter 94: Surprise

The night was very dark today, and the moon was covered by thick cumulus clouds. The entire lightless beach looked particularly dim at this moment.

Yaxu held a flashlight in his hand, lighting the way ahead while secretly glancing at Essex, who lowered her head and immersed herself in the gray and white world, trying to start a conversation: "Well, the food cooked by the Goddess of the Kitchen is really delicious."

Naturally, after meeting all the big ship girls of White Eagle, Yaxu followed Enterprise to attend a small dinner, but today it was just a basic meeting with the White Eagle ship girls. White Eagle still had various things to do.

The operation of the White Eagle had been stagnant for a long time, so there were various arrangements to be made, but most of them were undertaken by the enterprise. The enterprise did a lot to enable Yaxu to meet the White Eagle ship girls so naturally.

Thinking back to the dinner, the Kitchen Goddess had tears in her eyes. She pulled his sleeve with a deep look and said softly, "Although Qiye always looks like she can handle things on her own, she is also a soft girl."

In addition, the sister ships of the Enterprise also said a lot to him.

"Enterprise means a lot to you."

"Of course, she is an invincible senior!!!"

After hearing Yaxu's mumbling, Essex, who had been keeping a distance of one meter from Yaxu, turned around in an instant. Amber's eyes sparkled, and he finally spoke to Yaxu.

Well, Essex admires her too.

No wonder...businesses also feel pressure.

Yaxu sighed softly, then smiled and said to Essex: "Well, please give me your guidance, Essex."

"Well!"

When Essex thought about replacing Enterprise's predecessor's 'Death God' as his escort ship, his expression froze for a moment and he turned away.

Essex, simply put, is jealousy.

Yaxu blinked, but of course he still didn't make his point clear. The company's purpose was very simple.

[Well, it's you after all. I believe that after forcing Essex to be with you for a while, she will naturally like you.]

【…】

Thinking of Qiye's words, Yaxu couldn't help but cover his face.

"Strange, when did this place become like this?"

Suddenly, after walking up the grand staircase, Essex saw the Admiral's Mansion. He was stunned for a moment, then silently stood in front of Yaxu and unfolded his ship equipment.

After seeing Essex's sudden alert look, Yaxu came back to his senses and looked up.
