Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

"I am not feeling well. If Nagato wants to see me, just say that I am seriously ill and cannot meet anyone."

"That's it. I'm going to bed now."

After leaving the news that Nagato had returned, Xia Bai ignored everyone else and hurriedly pulled Sheffield into the room.

The rest of the people looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at Kaga together.

"Hmm... Didn't the commander tell you clearly that Nagato would be coming back? Why are you all looking at me?"

I have to admit that being stared at by several pairs of eyes was a bit creepy. After leaving these words, Kaga jumped high and climbed over the wall and left.

She is just a white fox who knows nothing, so don't ask her about this kind of thing.

"..."

"Hey, how are you guys in Sakura Empire doing lately? Do you want a hug?"

When the six people fell into silence, Ron, who had been ignored, stood up with his hand raised, and took the initiative to hug the four Kaohsiung sisters and Shokaku. When he was about to hug Akagi, he was forced back by the other party's vertical pupils.

"Ron? That's right. If you consider the time, it's time for Iron Blood to ask you to come over for a physical examination."

"Don't hug me. This disguise can only be used on naive people."

Facing Akagi's sarcasm, Ron didn't seem to care. He continued to smile and said gently: "I know what happened just now. Ask me."

After hesitating for a moment, even though he didn't know why Akagi was so hostile to Ron, Shokaku still said softly, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Ron."

"Haha, don't bother. Everyone in Iron Blood is so cold. It's not as peaceful as here in Sakura Empire."

Chapter 44 Winning Ma

Pulling Sheffield into the room, Xia Bai locked the door, then leaned back in the chair and tried to steady his breathing with lingering fear.

It's too exciting. Imprisoning Nagato along with the Combined Fleet. If Moon Phantom didn't have some brains, he would have become a criminal.

"The combined fleet led by the Sakura Empire's flagship Nagato was completely annihilated at 17: yesterday afternoon. It is said that this was a conspiracy carefully planned by Akagi and the Son of Prometheus."

Don't even think about this kind of headlines.

Sheffield looked at Xia Bai's bedroom curiously for a few times, and ignored his frightened master. Instead, he took out cleaning tools from the ship's space and started cleaning.

Without Sheffield, the owner couldn't take good care of himself and even the bedroom was not clean.

Thinking this in his heart, Sheffield came to Xia Bai and said in a cold voice: "Master, if it is convenient, please go back to bed. Now I will start cleaning."

"Cleaning?"

Looking at his bedroom, Xia Bai said, "Isn't this clean enough? What else do you need to clean..."

"The master can tolerate this 'pigsty', but Sheffield can't stand it at all. Can you please go to the bed?"

Xia Bai knew that Sheffield had some mysophobia or obsessive-compulsive disorder. After all, when she was taken care of by the royal family, she also cleaned her room three times a day.

But if it is called a 'pigsty', then Xianghe, who comes to help Xia Bai clean the bedroom every day, will cry.

Grabbing Sheffield's cleaning tools, Xia Bai said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it for now. Sheffield, first explain why you came to Sakura Empire by yourself... and didn't even notify us in advance."

"It just so happened that I got the RX-02 back from Akashi today, but what if I didn't get the RX-02 back?"

With a vague look in his eyes, Sheffield didn't dare to look into Xia Bai's eyes at all. He could only turn his head and say, "Even if the commander didn't come, Ron and I would have run into the combined fleet, so..."

"Sheffield!"

The sudden shouting made Sheffield tremble, but he still said stubbornly: "Master, you don't have to speak so loudly, Sheffield can hear..."

Inadvertently noticing the anger in Xia Bai's eyes, she swallowed the words she wanted to say and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, it was Sheffield who made you worry."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sheffield was dragged into a warm embrace, and a familiar scent lingered at her nose. It was Xia Bai's scent.

"Don't do that again, okay?"

"What would I do if you were sunk by the Sirens on your way here? What would I do without Sheffield to take care of me?"

"I, I don't want to lose Sheffield..."

There was a hint of crying in his voice. Xia Bai was really afraid that Sheffield would die on the way due to unexpected factors.

Stroking Xia Bai's hair, Sheffield hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear: "Not anymore. Sheffield will always be with the master until the end of eternity."

After hearing Sheffield's promise, Xia Bai felt relieved, let go of him, and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.

The maid did not tease him as usual, but just leaned on Xia Bai's chest with a smile in her eyes, listening to his heartbeat.

After a long while, Xia Bai calmed down and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you why you came to Sakura."

Continuing to stick to Xia Bai's chest, Sheffield immediately answered without thinking: "Because the master is too stupid, without Sheffield's care, everything will be a mess."

"really?"

"..."

After a moment's silence, the maid raised her head, looked at Xia Bai's face, and gently stroked it with her hand.

This time, she decided not to be stubborn.

"Sheffield is missing his master..."

After saying that, she took the initiative to hug Xia Bai's neck and kissed him.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Sheffield's somewhat embarrassed expression shocked Xia Bai. It was incredible that the cold Sheffield would show such a shy expression.

Sajia’s life has been worth it.

Without saying anything more, Xia Bai immediately took out a black box from his arms and placed it in front of Sheffield, saying softly, "Originally, I should have given you this a long time ago, but you are far away in the Royal Family, and I am afraid that air transportation is not safe, so I delayed it until now."

Xia Bai thought that these words should have whetted Sheffield's appetite. When she curiously asked what it was, she would open the box and hand the ring of promise to her. Then the excited Sheffield would hug her and kiss her.

But unexpectedly, Sheffield guessed the answer after taking a look at the box, and said coldly: "Is it the oath ring?"

"No way? You know this, too?"

Hearing this, Xia Bai's face was stunned and his mouth opened wide.

There is a traitor who tipped off the police! This was his first thought, and the only candidate for the traitor was the traitor Shokaku.

As if he could see what Xia Bai was thinking, Sheffield covered his mouth and said with a smile, "The master's thoughts are written on his face, so I can only guess in this direction."

"Besides..." Sheffield pointed at the box and continued, "This is a special storage tool for the oath ring customized by the Maritime Administration. The pattern on it is very clear."

"After opening the box, there is a sentence engraved in the decoration inside... If you don't believe it, Commander, open it and see for yourself."

Xia Bai really didn't believe it, so he opened the box immediately after hearing what Sheffield said.

"Huh? Really? Let me see what's written..."

"The eternal oath, both parties will overcome hardships and dangers, never separate, and reach the other side of happiness together."

Before Xia Bai could take a closer look, Sheffield read the words aloud for him.

"What kind of crap is this? It doesn't make sense at all." Xia Bai closed the box with a click and cursed the person who wrote this sentence, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Hehe~ Master, your words are not written randomly. They are allusions to a former commander. Do you want to know?"

"No, I don't want to know. As a maid, Sheffield, you should train your ability to read people's expressions more. Master, I'm embarrassed now. If you bring this up, it makes me look uncultured."

Rejecting Sheffield's "popular science", Xia Bai was about to give her the oath ring, but suddenly took it back and said in surprise: "Wait, Sheffield, why do you know so much about this?"

"Could it be possible that someone has already given you the Ring of Promise?"

Giving Xia Bai a helpless look, Sheffield snatched the ring of promise from his hand and put it on his ring finger.

"Because Sheffield expected the master to give him a vow ring, he checked the Maritime Administration's official website."

"Well? Is this reason enough?"

As the little maid said this, she smiled brightly.

Chapter 45 Pointing

"That's it. Is there anything else you want to know?"

Pointing at his own face, Ron smiled slightly and continued in a brisk voice: "If I know anything, I can answer you."

"I accidentally attacked the little fox..." Thinking about this information, Akagi's eyes lit up and he turned back to Shokaku and said excitedly, "This is a good opportunity. We can take down the little fox directly and then support my dear as the leader of the Sakura Empire."

"Then the prototype of the Red Axis was directly established. How is that?"

This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. In a big way, Xia Bai is trying to assassinate the king and has bad intentions towards Nagato; but in a small way, it is just a misunderstanding, and he mistook it for Siren because there were no friendly forces to identify him.

Anyway, Akagi wanted to just kill Nagato once and for all, and then take over Sakura Empire and make Xia Bai, the "local emperor", become the real emperor.

"I don't agree! No matter what, Lord Nagato is the flagship of the Sakura Empire. You can't be replaced by someone as evil as you, Akagi."

After hearing Akagi's dangerous speech, Kaohsiung was the first to stand up and express his opposition.

But apart from her, everyone else seemed to be somewhat tempted by the proposal, including Shokaku.

If you think about it carefully, Atago's neutral faction is currently on Xia Bai's side, and Maya has no interest in who will be her leader. If she really has to choose, she thinks Xia Bai is not bad, and Toriumi is from Akagi.

Not to mention Shokaku, the traitor. If Shinano hadn't appeared, she would have embezzled the supplies and taken Xia Bai away to live a happy life.

"Even though you have established a spiritual connection with my dear, Kaohsiung, are you still going to stand on Nagato's side? Hehehe~"

With this smile, Akagi slowly walked up to Kaohsiung.

"Don't forget...whose shipgirl you are now."

His red pupils stood up, and the nine tails behind him were flaming. Akagi's smiling face disappeared, and madness was revealed on his face.

If Kaohsiung wanted to counterattack and return to Nagato at this time, she wouldn't mind killing him.

Kaohsiung didn't seem to care about Akagi's warnings and threats, and said calmly: "I haven't forgotten my identity. I said it when the spiritual link was established."

"Takao's blade will only be swung for the commander from now on, so Akagi you don't have to speculate on my position."

As the blade was pulled out, a sharp aura emanated from Kaohsiung. Atago, who was standing next to him, felt as if countless long knives were placed on her neck, making it impossible for her to breathe normally and causing her severe pain.

It was not until now that Atago realized that she had underestimated Kaohsiung before. She thought that the other party was at most slightly stronger than herself, but she did not expect that Kaohsiung would be so terrifying when he got serious.

Sure enough, it is useful to practice kendo intensively 24 hours a day and comprehend the sword heart.

I will reward you for your hard work.

"..."

"So according to what you said, Kaohsiung, you want to take action." With a fighting spirit in his eyes, the flame on Akagi's tail grew stronger and stronger, and his own momentum was also constantly rising.

"I heard that Kaohsiung is the strongest swordsman in our Sakura Empire. Why don't you let me see him for myself?"

Atago was scared, but Akagi could be scared. Among the ship girls in the Sakura Empire, she has never lost in a one-on-one fight except for Nagato. Cricket Takao also dared to be so presumptuous in front of the First Carrier.

The situation was tense, and seeing that Kaohsiung was ready to draw his sword and attack, Atago quickly squeezed in between the two of them to smooth things over.

"It's not good for you to fight now. Xiao Xiabai is still here... How about listening to what I, the neutral representative Atago, have to say?"

Withstanding the momentum of both sides, Atago patted her round and plump chest and said to herself: "Whatever you want to do, you should first ask Xiao Xiabai's opinion, right? After all, he is the commander."

"Although Akagi's idea is a bit radical, it is still a good method. If we can directly take down Nagato, we can indeed develop rapidly."

"But Kaohsiung-sister's idea is also correct. She is not speaking for Nagato, but she thinks that the plan is too big a step. In fact, we can take it step by step."

After analyzing the positions of both sides, Atago, like a wise king, began to give crazy advice and tried to stir up trouble to prevent the two from fighting.

"Hey~ Do you think there is a possibility that Xia Bai and Nagato have established a spiritual connection, which would avoid internal struggles and perfectly take the position of leader of the Sakura Empire? Of course, this is just a possibility."

Anyway, after being interrupted by Atago, Takao had already retracted his sword and was not prepared to attack, but Akagi's face looked very ugly.

Letting the little fox join Xia Bai's fleet is more painful than asking her to die.

Besides, who are you? No matter what she and Kaohsiung do, it is an internal struggle of the Xiabai Fleet. What right do you, Atago, have to give orders?

But on second thought, there was really nothing wrong with what Atago said, except that she herself could not accept it.

"Okay, I'll give you this face, dear. Don't let me catch your little braid, Kaohsiung." With a cold snort, Akagi walked away, wagging his tail without looking back.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Why was it that even Kaohsiung had already established a spiritual connection, but he was still nowhere near it? And Shokaku even used the Ring of Oath to make him angry?

No, she must find a chance to get back everything she had lost.

......

Ron on the side watched the scene with great interest. It was a pity that no fighting broke out, otherwise she really wanted to see whether the First Carrier was that powerful.

But Akagi had already left, and seeing that they couldn't fight anymore, Ron felt a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, raised his hand and said familiarly: "Everyone from Sakura Empire! Is there anything to eat here?"

Looking at Ron's performance, Shokaku chuckled and said, "Of course, thank you very much for your answer, Miss Ron. If you don't mind, we can eat together later."
