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

But Xia Bai really didn't know how to tell Kashino what the current situation in Shinano was. The joy and anticipation in her eyes could not be faked. She must have a very good relationship with Shinano, and she would be very sad if she knew that the gray fox was dying.

So Xia Bai thought for a moment and said, "Shinan is in good health now... She's just a little bored every day. But whether you can talk to her depends on her. I can't agree to it for you, Kashino."

"Ah...Is that so?" Hearing this, Kashino's expression revealed a lonely look.

But she patted her face soon, cheered herself up again, waved her hands vigorously and said: "When will Lord Xiabai defeat Temperance and rescue Lord Shinano? Kashino can't wait any longer."

Because it was a transport ship, Kashino did not have a clear understanding of its strength, nor could she understand the data that was like a heavenly book. In her heart, Xia Bai, who could change the world, was the strongest person in the world, and defeating Temperance was inevitable.

"This doesn't depend on me. It depends on the changes in the situation. We'll go whenever we break through the Solomon Line. It won't take more than a year at most."

After getting the accurate answer, Kashino took out a bottle of milk from somewhere and stuffed it into Xia Bai's pocket. His face puffed up and he said with a 'ferocious' expression: "Kashino knows... This is a thank-you gift to Xia Bai-sama."

"When the time comes, you must teach Temperance a lesson and let it capture Lord Shinano, huhuhuhu."

Staring blankly at the milk in his hand and then at Kashino's ears, Xia Bai always felt that this thing might not be suitable for him to drink, but he still accepted it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will teach you a lesson when the time comes, including Kashino's share."

"Ok!"

Nodding vigorously, Kashino said goodbye to Xia Bai, then trotted back to his seat. Looking at her back, Xia Bai was afraid that she would fall and not be able to stand up, after all, there was something that would greatly affect her balance.

At this time, after asking Kii to go find Suruga, Azuma turned around, smiled at Natsuhaku, and said, "How gentle... Natsuhaku-sama is not sure that he can overcome his temper."

"Don't rush to deny it. My wife didn't speculate on your meaning. It's just that Master Xia Bai's thoughts are fully reflected on his face."

"You made such a promise just to comfort Kashino... It makes me curious about you."

Yasashi!? Could it be that I have become Yasashi's man without realizing it? Also, isn't it only maids who can read their thoughts from their faces? How come you can do that too?

After hearing what Azuma said, Xia Bai felt that there were so many things to complain about that he didn't know where to start. However, thinking that their relationship was not that close, he said calmly, "Gentleness is meaningless. This is just a promise to Kashino that he has always missed Shinano."

Seeing Xia Bai's denial, my wife didn't intend to expose him. She found a place nearby to sit down and placed the sword in her hand on her knees.

"I just learned from Kaohsiung that you have entered the realm of clear mirror and still water. Can you tell me the mystery behind this?"

Don’t be fooled by her gentle appearance, my wife is actually also a warrior. Although she is not as strict with herself as Kaohsiung, she also yearns for the highest realm.

"Well, I'm not sure. I'm not even sure if I've reached that level..." After hesitating for a moment, Xia Bai continued, "Maybe I'm not yet able to skillfully enter Mingjing Zhishui on my own."

"So I disappointed my wife. I can't explain the mystery of this."

How should I put it? Every time Xia Bai called my wife's name, he felt like he was taking advantage of her. How could he always call someone by that name? It was too weird.

"Are you thinking... that the name Azuma is strange?"

Without continuing to ask Xia Bai questions in this regard, my wife changed the subject.

"A little bit... Wait, you can really see through what I'm thinking?"

My wife stroked the scabbard with her delicate hands and said with a smile, "Well, Master Xia Bai's thoughts are clearly written on his face."

"I don't believe it." Staring at my wife's amber eyes, Xia Bai said angrily, "Now look at what I'm thinking?"

"If you know all this, I will agree to one condition from you, no matter what it is."

He just didn't believe it. Apart from the maid, no one else could read his thoughts from his face. Xia Bai wanted to prove that Belfast and Sheffield were exceptions.

Carefully examining Xia Bai's expressionless face, Azuma tilted her head and said with certainty, "Master Xia Bai, are you thinking about the thickness of Azuma's pantyhose?"

"It's okay to tell you, it's 20D~"

"..."

Damn it, Xia Bai really was looking at my wife's face and thinking about this kind of thing. This is already in the realm of mind reading.

Chapter 60: Fishing is no longer allowed in the Sakura Empire

"20D is suitable for summer wear, Lord Xia Bai, don't worry about whether I will be too hot... Oh, one condition, hehe~"

Looking at my wife smiling and raising a finger, Xia Bai thought that it was time for him to learn how to manage his facial expressions. If my wife could see through him today, then other people would see through him in the future. Who doesn't have some dark thoughts?

"I'll accept the loss, but my wife, please don't tell others what I think, and don't go too far."

It's so painful. Xia Bai has been in the martial arts world for so many years, but now he is caught by his little wife. He really feels ashamed of 03's high hopes for him.

"Don't worry, my wife won't tell anyone else. I'll keep this condition for now... I think Lord Xia Bai won't mind."

For some reason, Xia Bai suddenly felt that my wife was not so pretty. The gentle and beautiful girl in his sight turned into a demon, a demon that could read people's hearts.

Xia Bai said without much interest: "It's up to you. You can just come to me if you have any problems."

"Lord Xia Bai seems to have a bad impression of me. Did my wife do something wrong?" With her usual smile, my wife asked in distress.

"It's not a feeling of disgust, but I feel a little uncomfortable when a stranger reads my mind." While eating the Sakura dessert on the chopping board, Xia Bai pouted at my wife, "Do you want to eat?"

As if she didn't hear the politeness in Xia Baihua, my wife picked up the pastry with her hands, put it between her pale cherry lips, and then blinked her beautiful amber eyes.

"Thank you, it tastes good."

Until now, Xia Bai still doesn't know what Azuma is thinking or what she is going to do, or perhaps the ship girls of the Sakura Empire are so unpredictable.

"Thank you for the compliment. I was speaking for the pastry chef...Oh, they're finally done discussing this. I thought they were going to discuss it until tomorrow morning."

When facing Agatsuma, Xia Bai seemed to have returned to the time when he had social phobia. He had no idea how to continue the conversation with her. Fortunately, Nagato and the others had already discussed it, so he didn't have to force himself to have an awkward conversation with Agatsuma.

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Agatsuma did not continue to talk to him, but like most of the ship girls at the venue, she focused her attention on Nagato.

The chief flagship had a look of relief on his face, as if a burden had suddenly disappeared and he relaxed a lot. Akagi on the side had a complicated expression.

"After consultations between the representatives of each faction and Lady Mikasa... I, the flagship Nagato, declare that from today on, the Sakura Empire will no longer be a loose sand, will no longer attack each other, and will no longer be divided into different factions."

"We will unite again to face a more dangerous enemy..."

The factional struggles in Sakura Empire have disappeared, which is a good thing, but Xia Bai shook his head helplessly at this time. Looking at Akagi's expression and the smile on Amagi's face, he almost knew what Nagato would say next.

"The newly born Sakura Empire will reshuffle the personnel of each faction and reorganize the Second and Third Fleets. I will still be the flagship, and Akagi will retain his original position and continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the air fleet."

"..."

"As the situation changes more and more fiercely, if we do not seek change, we will be eliminated. Therefore, the Sakura Empire still needs a commander above the flagship to lead us forward."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense could guess who this commander was, but they still couldn't accept it in their hearts. After all, only a few people knew Xia Bai, and the others met him for the first time today.

As for the visual experience, thinking about the bad things Xia Bai had done, it wasn't much better.

Of course, Nagato and the others had anticipated this situation, so she stretched out her hand to signal for silence, and then said to Xia Bai: "The Sakura Empire has existed in the world for a long time, and they are all arrogant. As the flagship, I am ashamed that I cannot subdue them."

"But, the commander of the Sakura Empire should not be a mediocre person... Show us your strength and conduct exercises with our combined fleet. Let them see with their own eyes whether you are qualified to be the commander."

The flagship of the Sakura Empire, Nagato, has issued you a legendary mission - 'The God of Takamagahara'. Defeat Nagato and his combined fleet in the exercise and convince them.

Involuntarily recalling the challenge to the 'Five Constant Virtues' template in his previous life, Xia Bai stared at Nagato's serious eyes and smiled.

After so many twists and turns, I'm back to the starting point, and in the end I have to do it myself. Shinano, you're truly guilty of a heinous crime.

Inwardly teasing Shinano, Xia Bai walked up to Nagato and said, "I really don't know what to say to you. This is not the way to go. Forget about letting me off."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Xia Bai's words, Nagato frowned and said with some concern: "Are you serious? If you lose, you won't have a second chance like this."

After their top leaders received the news from Shinano, they were already prepared to appoint Xia Bai as the commander.

The purpose of having him conduct exercises with the Combined Fleet was to allow him to overpower the other ship girls. With Tsukuyomi's strength, there was no way the Combined Fleet would win.

But now Xia Bai seemed to have other ideas, which made Nagato secretly worry about him.

"In fact, I have never wanted to follow the path arranged by Shinano, but many things are unavoidable, and now I don't seem to be so resistant to becoming the commander of the Sakura Empire."

"I have to thank Fuso and Yamashiro for helping me understand what 'God' means... I'm getting off topic, but thank you for your recognition, Nagato."

Touching Nagato's soft black hair, Xia Bai turned his head to look at the ship girl below, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart.

"You may be wondering why Nagato and the others chose me to be the commander of the Sakura Empire... To be honest, this was Shinano's choice, so don't blame Nagato for making his own decision."

"I also know that some of you have a bad impression of me. Let me name a certain fisherman here."

"If you, Lord Xia Bai, could change your frivolous attitude, I wouldn't have such a bad impression of you."

"Um, I..."

He wanted to tease Jiang Feng, but he didn't expect Jiang Feng to suddenly speak and choke him. Xia Bai could only say angrily: "Shut up! Is this how you talk to your commander?"

"Lord Xia Bai, I have to remind you... you are not the commander of the Sakura Empire yet."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. When I become the commander of the Sakura Empire, the first prohibition I will impose is that fishing is not allowed."

The conversation between the two made the ship girls below laugh, and the atmosphere inside and outside the venue was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Perhaps Xia Bai is not as arrogant as they imagined. With him as the commander, the days to come will probably be filled with joy.

Chapter 61 The way to defeat the Shining God is... to look at Gundam! ?

But they soon stopped laughing, because Xia Bai was about to issue his "declaration of war".

"How can my strength only be witnessed by the Combined Fleet? How about this? I will face everyone in the Sakura Empire, including Kaga and Shokaku, by myself?"

"Of course, even if I give up 'Tsukuyomi' and 'Sinless Holiness', I will still fight with 'God of Radiance' at that time."

"As long as you can defeat me, I will never mention the matter of the commander of the Sakura Empire again, and I will work for you for ten years."

With an extremely confident light in his eyes, Xia Bai looked directly at every ship girl below.

He had already made up his mind to make all the ship girls of the Sakura Empire admit defeat with conviction, not just those from the former Nagato faction. Only in this way could he truly lead the Sakura Empire.

audacious in the extreme.

This word appeared in the minds of most of the ship girls. They were underestimated by the Sakura Empire. Some were excited, some were angry, and they all wanted to go up and teach Xia Bai a lesson.

With a dangerous scarlet glow in her eyes, Akagi hugged her chest and asked in a tone that was no longer coquettish: "Honey...are you serious?"

"Let me make it clear in advance that I will not let you go."

Hearing this, Xia Bai said gently: "I'd love to, I also want to see the powerful strength of the Sakura Empire that allows it to stand firm in the world."

"Tsk... I know what you're thinking, but this is a very bad move." Smacking his lips, Akagi stopped trying to dissuade Xia Bai and sat back in his seat.

At this moment, Shinano's voice suddenly came into Xia Bai's mind.

"Commander, for the glory of the Sakura Empire, I will also fight... As an opponent, please be careful."

"I don't mind, but you just need to take care of your body and don't exert yourself too much."

"I understand... Please tell Nagato this news and let them make corresponding strategic preparations. I will only use the overall flagship's capabilities throughout the process and provide support twice."

Due to his physical condition, Shinano was unable to show up in person to discuss tactics with Nagato, and could only entrust Xia Bai to convey the message.

Xia Bai shrugged his shoulders and immediately told Nagato the news, and finally set the time for the exercise three days later.

After that, the normal banquet process began, with everyone eating and chatting.

However, seeing many ship girls ready to fight, Xia Bai always felt that he had offended everyone, and they were eager to give him a good beating.

"Master, aren't you being too extreme? Fighting against the entire Zhongying army alone is really..." Staring at Xia Bai who was eating and drinking, Sheffield expressed his concerns very well.

"Are you trying to say that I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?" After swallowing the barbecue in his mouth, Xia Bai patted Sheffield's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's not 'alone', but the two of us together."

"Don't forget that 'The God of Radiance' is a form that you and I developed together, Sheffield. No matter what happens, we will not lose."

Looking at the smile on Xia Bai's face, Sheffield was encouraged and nodded vigorously.

"Well, we won't lose."

She believed that with the bond between herself and Xia Bai, they could overcome any enemy, not 'alone', but herself and Xia Bai together.

On the other side, Akagi and Kaga took the initiative to sit next to Nagato and discussed intensely the tactics to be adopted during the exercise.

They were serious too. If Xia Bai lost, it would only prove that he was too weak and unworthy of being the commander of the Sakura Empire. Then Akagi would take Xia Bai away from the Sakura Empire and start a new faction.

"Since Lord Shinano will provide support, together with Kitsune...Nagato and Mikasa, we Sakura Empire should be able to bring out the most powerful force ever."

"We can guarantee the combat capability on our side, but as for my dear..." When he said this, Akagi's face was full of worry.

Seeing this, Tiancheng helped her finish the sentence.

"Don't you know the God of Radiance... Ahem, this is indeed very important information."

Indeed, the combat power on their side can exert the greatest effect, but the battlefield requires knowing both yourself and the enemy. Without the intelligence of the God of Glory, they will not be able to target him.

Unfortunately, Xia Bai had almost never used this form, so they didn't even have the most basic concept of it, which was really difficult.

However, at this time, Shokaku showed her traitorous style very well. She smiled and said calmly: "I do know some information about the Shining God. Do you know 'Gundam'?"

As a good family wife, Xianghe naturally often collected relevant knowledge about mechas with Xia Bai through games or on the Internet. She already had the answer in her mind as to what the original form of the God of Glory was.

Element noticed, Mikasa raised her eyebrows and said in confusion: "Isn't that something Miss War-weary likes? I remember she gave me a few models, but I never touched them."

As the "old ladies" in both camps, Mikasa and War-weary have a very good relationship and are in frequent contact. One likes to assemble ship models, and the other likes to assemble Gundams, so they have similar interests.
