The time-based admiral of KanColle

"This is a game prepared for Yaxu, meow."

"Prepared for me?"

Akashi, who was debugging, heard the sound behind her and immediately turned around, and found that Yaxu, with an angry Saratoga hanging on his body, was looking at her curiously.

"Meow? You don't need to rest meow?"

"Well, in the end, I used the time stop function to take a nap."

Yaxu sighed softly. Saratoga, who was hanging on Yaxu's back, seemed even more angry. She pulled Yaxu's cheeks with her two little hands and said depressedly, "Commander is stingy! He didn't bring little Jiajia to play in the time stop!"

"If you, a little guy, were to go in there, God knows what you would do."

"Commander! Miser!"

After hearing this, Saratoga became even angrier and moved around on Yaxu's back, kicking with her calves and looking very dissatisfied.

On the other side, Shiranui looked Yaxu up and down, frowned, and said worriedly: "Akashi, if anything happens, I will not be responsible."

"Something happened?"

"I just want to scare you with this game, meow."

"Ugh?"

When Yaxu showed a puzzled expression, Saratoga on his back heard what Akashi said, and immediately poked her head out excitedly and asked, "What! A game that can scare the commander? Can it scare the commander to tears?"

"???"

What on earth is the Commander to you, Saratoga...

Seeing Saratoga suddenly happy, Yaxu couldn't help but reach back and pinch Saratoga's pink face, reminding her: "Your commander is not afraid of ghosts."

"Hehe... Only those who have never seen something truly terrifying would say such a thing."

Looking at the indifferent Yaxu, Shiranui gently covered his mouth with his sleeves and let out a sinister laugh.

"Anyway, this has to do with your abilities, meow. It could be dangerous, meow."

Mingshi turned around and waved his hand seriously, while Yaxu chuckled and said, "It's okay, Mingshi."

"Commander, what do you mean it's okay?"

Hearing Yaxu's nonchalant remarks, Saratoga raised her head and put on an adult expression, teaching him, "Don't joke about your own safety."

Well, listening to Saratoga educating him like this, he still felt inexplicably complicated.

"Speaking of which, Akashi, let's talk about the exercise."

"Yeah, meow, I almost forgot about it, but I asked the command cats to set up the area in advance, meow."

Hearing Yaxu's reminder, Mingshi tapped his hands and quickly brought up the light screen, pointing at the sea map on it: "Let me make it clear first, meow, I can't guarantee that you can win, meow."

"It's interesting because we don't know who will win, right?"

Seeing this, Yaxu immediately looked up. The sea area above was a nearby group of southern islands. Originally, there were tourist areas on those small islands, but now they have been moved far away.

"Ah! I remember now. Sister Enterprise said that you, Commander, are trying to challenge her beyond your capabilities."

"You are the one who overestimates your own abilities."

"That's right. You actually chose Enterprise-san as your opponent for the exercise. Hehe, Commander, don't cry when the time comes."

After pulling Saratoga off his back, Yaxu coughed and said, "I'm sorry, Saratoga, your commander is prepared to win this time."

"Hehe, useless commander."

After turning up her nose, Saratoga put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Anyway, it's absolutely, absolutely impossible for the Commander to win, hey~"

As she spoke, Saratoga made a playful face at Yaxu.

"Really? Then we'll have to wait and see."

"Well, the commander is really stubborn. In that case, let's make a bet with Saratoga. If the commander loses, he will have to obey the command of the lovely Saratoga for a week."

As if thinking that Yaxu's chances of winning were too slim, Saratoga even made a bet.

"Bet...Saratoga, you did come up with a good idea."

After mumbling to himself for a while, Yaxu smiled, ruffled Saratoga's pink hair, and said, "Although the outcome of the exercise is not important, but with the so-called prize, everyone will be more motivated. Well, in this case, one week after the exercise, the losing party must unconditionally obey the winning party's orders."

"Of course, excessive orders are not acceptable."

"Eh? Commander, are you serious?"

Seeing that Yaxu had made such a big bet, Saratoga could not help but tug at Yaxu's collar and warned him, "If the commander loses, I will make him do pranks behind Saratoga's back every day."

"Then when I win, I will make Saratoga clean this place every day."

"Saratoga will never lose to the Commander!"

Looking at Saratoga, whose competitive spirit was aroused, Yaxu did not seem too worried. After all, the content of the exercise was more like an entertainment competition than a formal military exercise.

As a result, most of the ship girl's skills are basically useless except for those that can increase the speed.

Perhaps, Enterprise does have more command experience than Essex and him, but Yaxu doesn't believe that Enterprise can still dominate the situation when paint bullets are used and most of the ship girl's skills are ineffective.

Hmm... big, probably.

Thoughtful, Yaxu supported the Saratoga that was threatening him with his hands, and decided to keep his two hands as a backup.

"Meow, you guys are really leisurely meow..."

Looking at Yaxu playing with Saratoga, Akashi couldn't help but sigh, stroked his ears, and then turned around to continue to perfect the game.

Because he has been busy these days, Akashi feels like he is about to lose hair.

Chapter 143 Queen Elizabeth's Incognito Visit

Just one day after Yaxu returned, unlike the busy and bustling White Eagle, the noble and elegant royal family was still living their leisurely daily lives.

Today, Queen Elizabeth, the flagship and center of the royal family, decided to visit her subjects once in a while and went on a private visit incognito. (She was bored.)

But first we have to avoid that guy from Belfast.

Elizabeth thought to herself as she lay vigilantly on the edge of the door. She looked at the wide platinum corridors on both sides and tiptoed away.

Although it was clearly her own home, Elizabeth still acted like a thief, causing Belfast, who was standing silently in the corridor across the hallway, to sigh.

"The Queen has sneaked away again. It's obviously the Queen's turn."

At this time, the ship girl standing next to Belfast couldn't help but complained in a somewhat listless tone: "It's hard to imagine that our Royal flagship would look like this. There are really all kinds of incredible things in the world."

"Sheffield, please give our little queen some face and stop complaining about her in such a nonchalant tone."

"Hmm... Indeed, just looking at the Queen is interesting. The Queen is really versatile."

Belfast put her hands on her maid's skirt and turned to look at Sheffield, the royal maid who was a bit sharp-tongued and tough.

She was wearing a black and white maid's long dress, had short ivory-gray curly hair, and golden eyes. She looked listless, but as a regular maid, Sheffield still had a lot of things to do.

"Oh, what a pity. I have to clean the garden today. Otherwise, I would really like to see the queen's daily life."

Sheffield blinked, stared at Queen Elizabeth, who looked like a thief, through the round window and the window of the corridor opposite. He lifted his skirt to salute Belfast, and hurried to work.

"..."

Similarly, Belfast, who was a little worried, sighed helplessly. After all, she still had to prepare for the tea party for King George V, clean the room of the little ship girl, and finally wash the difficult-to-wash royal clothes, so she could only pray that the Queen would not cause any trouble.

Queen Elizabeth, who thought she was a thief, walked around in confusion and finally decided to go to the royal kitchen to check the quality of the snacks. Well, just check.

Wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, Elizabeth squinted her eyes happily, then walked to the kitchen door, jumped up sadly, grabbed the handle, and pushed the door open.

I know~~~

After opening the door, Elizabeth immediately began to look in the direction of the faint aroma that filled the kitchen, and found Javelin sitting on a small stool, humming a song and preparing something.

"Hmm... Sure enough, it would be better to use cream as a substitute here. Alas, as expected, the ingredients are insufficient. There is nothing I can do! I can only use small desserts as a substitute."

There were bowls and plates of all sizes laid out, and Javelin began to assemble the square box in front of him while looking at the books beside him.

"But as long as it's full of heart, it will definitely become delicious, just kidding, hehe."

After tapping his head lightly, Javelin took a deep breath, and then began to prepare his own special lunch box according to the cute goat pattern in the book.

Javelin has regained his confidence, and at least now he won’t hide from Yaxu all the time.

Steal a peek~~ Steal a peek~~

Curious Elizabeth couldn't help but move closer when she saw Javelin coming to the kitchen, and jumped up to peek at Javelin's work.

Could it be the lunch that Javelin prepared for himself today?

After seeing the javelin's lunch box, Elizabeth, who had never seen such a practice before, was puzzled and leaned over to guess with her little finger in her mouth.

"Wow~~~ I guess it would be better to put it in a more exquisite box if I want to give it away. This feels a bit childish."

Finally, after decorating his lunch box, Javelin looked at his own cute work with some hesitation.

Giving it to someone?

Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh softly after listening to the mumbling of the man who was too focused to notice her spear, and she put her hands on her hips and raised her head high.

Hmm, these must be her dear royal subjects coming to honor her.

Well, yes, that must be the case.

Haha, the javelin is really cute. Even though it’s a little childish and doesn’t match her noble temperament as a queen, since it’s given by a cute little subject, she will of course accept it with pleasure.

"Hey~~~"

Elizabeth happily brought over the small stool, then stood next to the javelin and poked its small waist with the scepter.

"Whoa!"

When he felt something hard suddenly hit him, Javelin instinctively cried out, then covered his lower back and turned around to look.

"Queen!?"

"Hmm, don't panic, it's just that I think you can still improve this."

Elizabeth waved the scepter in her hand proudly, turned up her nose and started to point fingers: "It would be better if you put more butter here and there. Don't use the slightly bitter croissants for the goat's horns, use delicious cheese instead."

"Yes, is that so?"

"What the king said is correct! It will definitely taste better this way."

"Oh……"

Although she was a little confused, Javelin nodded and did as she was told after listening to the words of Queen Elizabeth, who had a say in food. After all, she didn't know Yaxu's taste preferences, and she was too embarrassed to ask.

The javelin immediately began to prepare with great concentration, and Queen Elizabeth began to pass the materials to the javelin with satisfaction.

Soon, the bento with the ingredients replaced was completed.

Javelin let out a long sigh, carefully packed the lunch box with silk cloth, and then held it in his arms with an expectant expression.

Probably, he would think it tastes good.

With the girl's thoughts in mind, Javelin nodded and prepared to deliver the lunch box.

"Mmm! Good job, Javelin."

"Thank you, Queen."

Thinking of Queen Elizabeth's rare help today, Javelin immediately thanked her, then jumped off the bench and prepared to leave.

"Eh? Just hand the javelin to me here. There is no need to follow so many etiquettes among royal families."

Queen Elizabeth raised her head high and looked at the confused Javelin confidently, then spread her hands and said, "I am very happy that you have this kind thought."

Look, look, as expected, she is still respected by everyone as a queen, right, right?

Excitedly showing her little fangs, Queen Elizabeth quickly tidied her dazzling blonde hair and reached out with a perfect posture.

"Eh? Why, why give it to the Queen?"

"..."

Elizabeth, with her hand still hanging in the air, kept smiling. After a moment of stiffness, she immediately widened her eyes, tremblingly hugged her scepter and asked softly, "Isn't this dedicated to the king?"

"Ah? Your Majesty the Queen wants it too? Then I'll prepare it for Your Majesty the Queen after I deliver it to Yaxu."

Javelin seemed to suddenly understand and nodded, saying with a smile.

"Ugh……"

After suddenly realizing some sad truth, Elizabeth's clear blue eyes gradually became misty.
