The time-based admiral of KanColle

And on top of the kite, Shanfeng, wearing a white cherry-colored dress, was hanging on it excitedly, his lavender eyes filled with a joyful smile.

"Hoho! Yamakaze looks like a ninja!"

"Hmm... Shanfeng seems very happy."

Listening to the happy laughter of the mountain breeze, the sea breeze, kneeling on the tablecloth, tried hard to raise its soft body, wanting to see clearly the mountain breeze playing like a kite in the sky, seeming a little envious.

After all, because of her soft and cute personality, she is a little afraid of heights, so she can't play the same game as Shanfeng.

With a little bit of loss in its heart, the lovely sea breeze like cotton candy then tried harder to raise its soft body and continued to look at the mountain breeze in the sky with envy.

However, because Haifeng was wearing a shoulder-baring wing-shaped kimono, the silky and soft fabric of the collar soon began to slide down Haifeng's white and flawless shoulders under the influence of gravity.

Fortunately, just when the dark white kimono slipped to the dangerous limit, Yaxu, who was standing nearby, quickly bent down to help Haifeng lift up the shoulders again, and patted Haifeng's beige feathers.

"S-Sorry for causing trouble to you, big brother."

After realizing that she was almost exposed after being reminded by Yaxu, Haifeng, with a blushing face, lowered her head shyly.

He is introverted and polite, much more stable than the energetic Shanfeng, but he seems to be not used to physical contact.

Noticing that Haifeng was still a little nervous, Yaxu sighed and said no more. Instead, he slowly walked to a strange instrument at the side and reminded Shanfeng through the communicator attached to it: "It's time for snacks, Shanfeng. Today we have pancakes with honey."

[What? Is it honey flavored? I'll be right down!]

The trembling brown-black bear ears matched with sparkling eyes, and the excited mountain breeze began to descend in a hurry.

By the way, this is a special device provided by the kind-hearted Miss Ming An. After all, according to the laws of physics, even if the little ship girls do not add any ship weight, a normal kite cannot lift a normal little loli to fly in the sky.

Incidentally, due to some unknown ability, Akatsuki can fly like a flying ninja hanging on a kite without the help of any instruments.

The world of KanColle is really magical...

Just when Yaxu was feeling a little emotional, Haifeng, who had just taken out a marshmallow from the lunch box, was suddenly knocked onto the tablecloth by a figure at super high speed.

"Woo, woo, woo~Marshmallows in the sea breeze."

"Ah, sorry!"

Looking at the pitiful Haifeng in his arms, Shimakaze quickly sat up and saluted Yaxu with full energy, "I'm sorry I'm late! It took me a little time to save Mr. Cat who was lying on the tree and couldn't get down."

"It's not good to be too reckless, Shimakaze."

Looking at Shimakaze who was moving at high speed as always, Yaxu, who was organizing the lunch box, gave a timely reminder.

In response, Shimakaze, with a sweet smile, patted the little pudding on his chest nonchalantly, and then smiled and said: "Although I am often said to be too reckless... But isn't it a good thing to be aggressive!?"

"If you don't give it your all in a battle, it's easy to end up with regrets, isn't it? Hehe."

After saying this, Shimakaze, who remained in a duck sitting position, raised her neck and looked excitedly at the mountain breeze that was floating down from the sky.

"Is this the floating kite that Mr. Yaxu mentioned? Can Shimakaze and others take this kite back later?"

"Of course, after all, we don't have a hobby of collecting kites."

Looking at Shimafeng who was immersed in his own interests, Yaxu couldn't help but smile gently, then took out a royal-flavored carrot cake from the lunch box and handed it to Shimafeng.

"Here~ would you like to try the carrot cake I made?"

"Hey? Mr. Yaxu still knows how to do this?"

Looking at the small and exquisite carrot cake, Shimafeng covered her mouth in surprise with her amber eyes wide open.

In response, Yaxu added: "But you'd better not expect too much, after all, I haven't made snacks for a long time."

After all, instead of making snacks for himself, he might as well stretch out his evil hands, which were reserved for commanders, and steal Elizabeth and the others' snacks.

Besides... although he had received special training before, he was still no match for the professional Dunkirk sisters.

"Chew, chew! What a novel taste, but it's delicious!"

Tasting the dessert recipe used by other camps for the first time, the excited Shimakaze soon immersed himself in the happiness of carrot cake.

"Where's the honey muffins!"

"Here, Shanfeng, be careful not to spill the food when you eat. Haifeng always cleans it up for you."

After catching Shanfeng who had jumped down from mid-air, Yaxu sighed and slowly put Shanfeng down. Then he picked up the wooden box beside him and added, "Anyway, I have to go back to the inner city first. Your sister Yura is waiting for me to deliver tea."

"Hey! Mr. Yaxu, are you going back so soon? "

"Just going back for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Seeing Shimafu's emotions written all over his face, Yaxu reached out and pinched Shimafu's white cherry velvet rabbit ears, and stroked them up and down.

"Hey~?"

Seeing Shimafeng relax in an instant, Yaxu disappeared from the spot the next second, and no one knew where he ran to.

In response to this, the lively Shimakaze knelt obediently on the spot, still immersed in the warm touch just now.

At this moment, large amounts of white, purple, and cherry-colored fog began to gather rapidly around the island wind.

So the next second, three innocent and cute Shimakaze clones appeared out of nowhere, and then they looked at the dazed original body and whispered to each other.

"Big brother, is he gone?"

"Humph~ Just go if you want to, I don't care!"

"Um, um, can you give me some of the carrot cake to try for myself?"

Under the three discussions in the same voice, the most mature-looking No. 1 Shimakaze slowly looked towards the lunch boxes of Haifeng and the others, and analyzed expressionlessly: "Sure enough, big brother is really amazing."

That’s right, in just one or two days, she felt that this big human brother had completely figured out all of their preferences!

Not only that, just in the daily communication, the big brother's indescribable thoughtfulness and tolerance were clearly revealed. Even the most calm sister Yura began to actively invite him to sit down and drink tea quietly.

After all, with the understanding of each camp, just listening to the big brother talk is very interesting.

Of course the most important thing is that the eldest brother actually prepared 12 carrot cakes, taking them into consideration.

Thinking of this, Shimakaze No. 1 looked at Shimakaze who was still standing there with a silly look on his face, and reminded him softly while eating carrot cake: "So, main body, if you continue to be in a daze, we will finish eating the cake."

"W-What!?"

With Shimakaze's cute belated exclamation, Ryugu Castle spent an ordinary day today and ushered in the dark night.

Because the expedition against the Black Blue Dragon just ended a few days ago, even if Katsuragi and the others recovered to their normal state, there was no guarantee that they would not be affected next time.

So due to various factors, Yaxu was forced to stay here.

Fortunately, the speed of time flowing in the two worlds is different, so he doesn't have to worry about everyone in the port area suddenly becoming dry.

And rather than worrying about Minato, it seems he needs to worry more about himself!

Because he hadn't been on the wedding ship for three days... No! He was just hanging out with the ship girls!

Thinking of this, Yaxu, who was sleeping in the guest room, couldn't help but sigh, then stood up and looked at the night outside the right window.

Today, when he was playing with Shimakaze and the others, he almost imagined their white silk calves as ice cream. If this continued, it would be troublesome if he couldn't help but reach out to touch them.

You have to know that he is not the commander of Shanfeng and the others after all, so some things should be done in moderation.

Just when Yaxu was about to put the pillow upright to use as a pillow, a cold and beautiful figure appeared silently in the room.

"What's wrong, Commander? You look lonely as if you haven't had the company of a ship girl for three days."

The light and smooth uniform set off her graceful figure. The ethereal Black Helena walked slowly to Yaxu's bed in her leather boots with a faint blue hue.

In this dim and deep space, the pair of beautiful red eyes that were faintly glowing looked particularly alluring.

"Because Commander, you have been busy comforting those innocent ship girls these days, so I don't want to bother you."

"But then again, Commander, you're surprisingly afraid of loneliness."

Looking at the pillow that Yaxu had placed upright, Black Helena, who exuded the temperament of a bad woman, couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of her lips and asked Yaxu playfully: "In this case, do you want me to accompany you, Commander?"

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Black Helena, what you said sounds bad in every sense!

"Um, Miss Black Helena?"

"Ah, so it turns out that using straightforward words is more effective."

Seeing that Yaxu did not show the expression she had imagined, Black Helena, who was at ease, slowly sat down next to Yaxu, and then poked Yaxu's cheek with her slender index finger with a smile.

"Ah? Isn't this a bit too sudden?!"

"Sudden? Maybe it is for you, Commander, but don't forget, when you rescued me from the bottom of the ocean, I have been observing you the whole time. The recorded footage even filled up a combat hard drive."

Admiring Yaxu's expression from a close distance, Black Helena then leaned gently against Yaxu.

In an instant, a faint and elegant fragrance filled Yaxu's direction.

"I'm not going to let you go tonight, Commander. After all, I don't have any feelings like shyness."

Facing Black Helena's overly straightforward declaration, Yaxu sighed and responded helplessly: "It seems that you are really cunning. You know everything about me through surveillance, but I don't have much chance to get to know you."

"Really? Then Commander, you can observe me from a negative distance from now on (laughs)."

"Ahem! You should at least be as shy as Helena."

"shy?"

After listening to Yaxu's sigh, Black Helena pondered for a moment and asked Yaxu: "Why should I be shy?"

"You know, only your gentle voice can dispel the anxiety and suspicion in my heart now."

"Without you, I don't know what I would do, so don't go anywhere, just stay with me, okay?"

After speaking in a yandere tone, Black Helena happily pulled Yaxu's cheek, then smiled sincerely and said, "A commander who doesn't even care about his own privacy, a commander whose inner thoughts can even be written on his face, and..."

"You don't think of me as a monster commander at all."

"Excuse me, what is your answer~?"

"Pfft~ Although I really want to ask this, you are not the type to refuse, Commander."

Chapter 1197: Status of Preparations for Hong Kong's Birthday Party (Heavy Fog)

The next morning——

When the bright morning light shone through the window and filled the entire bedroom, Yaxu, who was sleeping soundly in the warm quilt, couldn't help but yawn lazily, and then drowsily asked the person who was sleeping beside him with a pleasant body fragrance: "Help me draw the curtains, Helena."

"Haha, I'm happy to help, but may I ask which Miss Helena you are asking for help, Commander? (laughs)"

"Ugh?"

Hearing this cold and playful voice, Yaxu, who was stiff for a moment, quickly opened his eyes. Then his mood subtly turned to the right and looked at Black Helena who was sleeping in the same bed with him.

The cascading blue hair reflected the flowing light. Black Helena, smiling silently, just leaned beside Yaxu, letting the comfortable thin blanket outline the graceful figure inside.

Her skin was as white as snow, and under Black Helena's red eyes, her delicate face looked even more radiant and charming.

Just as Yaxu's eyes began to drift downwards, Helena smiled and asked, "Does it look good?"

Sorry Helena, sorry St. Louis!

Oh, strange, why did he say sorry to St. Louis! ?

After coming back to his senses after being teased by Black Helena, Yaxu, who was in a somewhat subtle mood, stood up on his own initiative, then walked to the left side of the bedroom and pulled the curtains on the window, making the whole room suddenly dim again.

"Oh? Commander, do you still want it~?"

"Cough cough!"

Listening to Black Helena's ambiguous remarks, the experienced Yaxu then hurried to the sliding door and silently locked it.

While Yaxu was busy, Black Helena slowly sat up, smiled gently, and placed her slender hand gently on her delicate belly.

"So, these are the symbols of never betraying and never parting... Okay, I understand, Helena. Now I feel extremely relieved... Then let us be together forever, forever, forever—"

Black Helena, why do you speak in the same tone as Dafeng and the others?

Listening to these inexplicably familiar remarks, Yaxu couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Black Helena, who could vaguely guess what Yaxu was thinking, couldn't help but lift her face and teased her affectionately, "Hmm? Commander, you're not thinking that what I just said is very similar to what Miss Dafeng and the others said~?"

"I can't hide it from you, Black Helena."

Yaxu, who was already used to Black Helena constantly showing off his thoughts, didn't say much. Instead, he frankly lay back down next to Black Helena and got into the bed, intending to stay in bed openly.

"Want to sleep a little longer?"

Seeing Yaxu trying to squeeze in under the quilt, Black Helena immediately and considerately helped Yaxu pull up the quilt, and said softly: "It's no wonder, after all, Commander, you only slept for 2 hours, 7 minutes and 16 seconds, so it's natural that you feel sleepy."

"???"

Hearing this, Yaxu suddenly realized something and opened his eyes instantly, then quickly turned over and looked at Black Helena who had been staring at him behind him.
