He suddenly thought that the name "Tianren" was not bad, but he didn't know whether Akagi agreed.
Chapter 77: Caring Big Brother VS 'Problem' Child
Next, Xia Bai continued to discuss in depth with Amagi on the details of the Red Central Axis (tentative name). It must be said that the intellectual leader of the Sakura Empire is still quite capable.
The opinions expressed were to the point and various hidden dangers were found and resolved one after another. It seemed that he knew that Xia Bai didn't like riddlers, so he spoke in a more direct way without using any riddles.
Of course, what made Xia Bai most comfortable was that the other person was beautiful, with an alluring temperament and a gentle and elegant voice. Who wouldn't like such a Tiancheng?
Just as the two were happily discussing, Nagato came over in her usual clothes, followed by a 'little guy' who looked 70% like her, but looked more childish.
"Commander, I hope I didn't disturb your conversation with Amagi." Nagato pointed at the 'little one' beside him with a bit of embarrassment on his chubby face.
"This is... This is my sister Mutsu, she's clamoring to see you."
Hearing this, Xia Bai turned his gaze towards Mutsu and said softly, "So what does Mutsu want to talk to me about?"
He really didn't know that Nagato had a sister before. It seemed that she didn't show up at several big gatherings of the Sakura Empire, or he didn't see her.
Now that we've met, what should I say? It's because Nagato has been on the flagship for some time that her temperament doesn't look like a little girl anymore. This was especially true when she was wearing the jet-black military dress just now.
At that time, Xia Bai thought that Nagato had grown up overnight and looked like a majestic and cold beauty.
So even though Nagato is petite and a little childish at times, when she gets serious she still has the demeanor of a big battle sister.
But what can Mutsu say? From the other party's innocent and childish eyes, Xia Bai can be sure that her mentality is similar to that of a small destroyer, or perhaps even worse than that of a small destroyer. Lingbo is also a destroyer, but Javelin is a typical JC girl.
Not to mention the existence of the fisherman Jiang Feng, who, apart from his small stature, is similar to a normal human college student.
"Hey, hello~ My name is Mutsu, and I'm Nagato's sister!" Seeing Xia Bai looking at him, Mutsu held his hands in front of his chest, and his eyes seemed to emit little stars.
"Um, um, are you the commander? Why are you the commander? How can I become a commander? Is the commander very powerful? Tell me, tell me~"
"Um, I'm the commander, my name is Xia Bai... I'm very powerful, as to why I'm the commander, you can ask Shinano."
While answering, Xia Bai felt that Mutsu was much more lively than he had imagined. He was not shy at all and instead asked so many questions as soon as they met.
The energetic little loli was so cute that Xia Bai couldn't help but touch her head, but Mutsu's questions were not over yet. She narrowed her eyes and continued, "How can I be as powerful as the commander? Why do I have to ask Sister Shinano?"
"......"
Could this be the legendary "100,000 Whys" child? Seeing Nagato's troubled expression, as if he was troubled by Mutsu, Xia Bai seemed to understand why he had never heard Nagato talk about his sister.
This is a naughty boy who will get into trouble.
However, Xia Bai has great restraint towards little Lolita, especially this kind of curious little Lolita with an immature mind.
He gently pinched Mutsu's little face with both hands and said with a smile: "Mutsu asked so many questions, and I answered them all. Is it the commander's turn to ask questions too?"
"Hey! Why are you asking, Commander?"
"Because...wait, I'm asking now and you just answer it."
He secretly wiped a cold sweat, he was almost tricked by Mutsu again, this little guy has something.
After thinking for a while, Mutsu showed a lively smile on his face and said in an innocent tone: "Then what does the commander want to ask Mutsu!"
Rubbing Mutsu's little face, Xia Bai imitated the other person's tone and said, "Why are you so cute? Why? Why? Tell me, why are you so cute?!"
This question made Mutsu fall into deep thought. Yes, why is she so cute? At this time, Xia Bai's words came into her ears again.
"Mutsu, ask Jiang Feng about this question. She must know why you are so cute."
Don't blame me, fisherman. You know that the commander is narrow-minded.
A sneer appeared on his face for Jiang Feng's subsequent experience. Under Xia Bai's deliberate guidance, the innocent and cute Mu Ao stopped pestering and moved his little feet, looking for the little white fox.
Seeing that Mutsu was easily dispatched by Xia Bai, Nagato was immediately shocked and said hesitantly: "Commander, I'm sorry... Mutsu is just like that. I hope she didn't cause you any trouble."
"Mutsu is so cute, how could he cause me trouble? Besides, I have a guy who likes to ask questions over there, and compared to him, Mutsu is much better."
Hearing this, Nagato bowed his head heavily, his long, smooth hair falling down like a waterfall, and said sincerely: "Commander, please teach me how to deal with such a person."
"To be honest, Mutsu has always been a pain in my heart. She used to always ask why the sky is so blue, why birds can fly, etc... That's why I often don't take her with me on expeditions, and I don't let her show up during meetings."
"But sometimes I wonder, is this really what a sister does? Isn't it too cruel to put Mutsu aside just because you're afraid of trouble..."
Well, Xia Bai finally understood the relationship between the two sisters, because Mutsu's question-asking personality was indeed troublesome. It was okay with people from the Sakura Empire, but meeting outsiders would cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.
But Nagato actually feels guilty about leaving Mutsu in the castle tower, and now he is eager for his guidance, so this is the time for the 'intimate big brother' to appear.
Clearing his throat, Xia Bai motioned for Nagato to sit down first, then said seriously: "This kind of personality is difficult to deal with, because it is almost impossible to change it except waiting for the other party to mature mentally."
"I know that you, Nagato, don't want to keep Munoi locked up any longer, so the only solution is to use artificial ripening."
"You know how I got the questioning CX-22 modified on Sprain Island?"
His heart sank, and Nagato knew that this was the method Xia Bai was going to teach him to mature his mind, so he said seriously: "Nagato dares to ask the commander to teach me."
"Humph."
Xia Bai smiled smugly, his face full of confidence, then he raised a finger and slowly said: "Just beat her up, as long as you beat her up, everything will be solved."
"At that time, I was really annoyed by CX-22's questions, so I took Xiao 16 and 21 to beat his face until it was swollen and one of his hands was broken. After that, he never came to ask me again."
"Well, this is a good idea, isn't it?"
Since you can't solve the problem, just solve the person who raised the problem. You are worthy of being called a 'caring big brother'!
Chapter 78 Listening to Xia Bai Talk About the Past
Xia Bai didn't know whether Nagato was prepared to beat Mutsu up, but he felt that the other party was not as anxious as before and seemed to no longer care about Mutsu's affairs.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Xia Bai's beating of CX-22, she just didn't allow Mutsu to see outsiders, which was already very kind. Nagato also felt that she had fulfilled her responsibility as an older sister.
But after Xia Bai gave him a beating, the topic could no longer be discussed, so Nagato changed the subject and asked in a low voice: "Let's not talk about that kid Mutsu for now... Commander, can you tell me about what happened on Splan Island? I'm very curious."
Tiancheng, who was sitting next to Xia Bai, was also very interested at the moment. She was also very interested in Xia Bai's previous life, as well as the group of troublesome brothers and sisters that he mentioned.
"Well, there's nothing that can't be said. Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
Seeing the two foxes, one big and one small, nodding frequently, Xia Bai smiled and told them about his life on Spland Island.
"I remember that before we attacked the Solomon Line, we were treated very well and had meat for three meals a day. At that time, everyone was always working hard in training. Although we were very tired every day, we were also very happy."
"And RX-03 wasn't very smart at that time, and I didn't like to talk much, so she would often cry when she came to see me, and then she would run to my brother and cry about how I bullied her."
"My eldest brother is a straightforward person. When he found out that I bullied 03, he came over to teach me a lesson... Guess what happened in the end? He couldn't beat me, so after I beat him up, he started crying with my third sister, hahahaha."
Although the laughter was hearty, Nagato and Amagi could still hear the deep sadness in Xia Bai's voice, and as he laughed, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
Even now, he is still upset about the death of RX-01.
Wiping away tears, Xia Bai pretended to be calm and continued: "At that time, there were special people who came to teach us common sense and how to fight."
"Especially an officer named Kaliyong, who was the most beautiful person I had ever seen at that time. But although he was gentle, he always ignored me."
"Oh, there's also a girl named Azalea. She's not bad either, but she looks a bit cold. However, we have a good relationship. She seemed to have said that there's someone she wants to surpass. I don't know what's going on."
"Because we have a good relationship, I even thought about whether I could propose to her after I have made meritorious service. After all, she is very beautiful. Having an officer's wife in the military should make us feel more relaxed."
"The night before we received the order to attack the Solomon Line, I secretly called her on the landline. Now it seems that this is a kind of flag."
"After we returned from the Solomon Sea, the military decided to leave us to fend for ourselves, and I never saw them again."
"Not only did you say that we should have moved all our stuff away, but you also put a lot of blame on us. You are such beasts."
At this point, Xia Bai was furious. It was not known whether it was because he could not see Acelia again or because he was blamed for something, but he just wanted to tear those bastards to pieces.
Nagato and Amagi did not say anything to comfort her at this time. They just listened quietly to Xia Bai venting his emotions and laughed at Acelia in their hearts.
If she and Xia Bai really got together, with Xia Bai's ability, as long as he was paired with a few ship girls, the situation where the military was suppressed by the Maritime Administration would be completely reversed.
That’s why women’s vision is so short-sighted that they don’t know how to think about things in the long term.
Now the two foxes, one big and one small, were secretly laughing in their hearts, especially Nagato, whose eyes were narrowed into a line. If it wasn't for the need to maintain the dignity of her flagship, she really couldn't help but drink some wine to celebrate.
From what Xia Bai said, it seemed that he and Acelia were in love with each other at that time, and they were childhood sweethearts, and all they needed was the finishing touch. This would be much more exciting than snatching Xia Bai away from the royal family.
When it comes to Minotaur, they from the Sakura Empire are professional. Now there are only two words to describe them: comfortable.
As if noticing that something was wrong with Nagato's expression, Xia Bai stopped denouncing the military and asked in confusion, "What is Nagato laughing at?"
"I...I am not laughing. In my heart, I am denouncing the military with you."
Seeing Nagato's expression immediately turned indignant, Xia Bai suddenly looked at Tiancheng again, frowned and said: "Tiancheng, what are you laughing at again?"
"I'm not laughing either. I'm just feeling sad for what happened to the commander... Humans are like this. They always impose their own desires on other lives. It's really pathetic."
Don't think I will believe you if you say something weird. You can't even hide the smile on your face!
In his heart, Xia Bai complained that Tiancheng was too lazy to even pretend, and he didn't continue to care about the two people's giggles. He said it out loud just to make everyone laugh.
After drinking the juice in front of him, he continued to tell the story of the son of Prometheus.
"When all those bastards in the military left, our military funding was cut off. We had never thought that this would happen, so we spent money lavishly, so we didn't have much savings."
"But fortunately, we have a complicated relationship with a vice admiral in the navy. He secretly embezzles military funds and gives us some subsidies every month. Otherwise, even eating would be a problem."
"So Commander, you guys have met a good person after all? That Vice Admiral secretly embezzled military funds to support your expenses."
Xia Bai was stunned by Nagato's words, but then he recovered and started cursing again: "He is such a jerk, these are what he deserves, I get annoyed when I see him, I want to punch him in the face a few times."
A vice admiral of the Sith Sea, who has a relationship with the Son of Prometheus, and who can make the commander so hate him... Quickly connecting the information in his mind, Amagi soon came up with the answer and was secretly shocked.
If it really was that man, then his relationship with the Son of Prometheus was more than just 'complicated'. Xia Bai was right. Given that man's status and position, he would have to provide for the Son of Prometheus' expenses, let alone embezzling military funds. Even if he robbed or stole, he would have to provide for the expenses of the Son of Prometheus.
"That's all. Is there anything else you want to know?"
As if not wanting to mention the vice admiral again, Xia Bai took the initiative to cut off the subject.
The two people present were not stupid. Seeing that Xia Bai was a little impatient, they shook their heads to indicate that there was nothing they wanted to know.
Anyone with a bit of brains should be able to read people's expressions.
Raising his arm to check the time, Xia Bai stood up and said, "It's almost time, Nagato, let's go to the Imperial Gate."
"It's time to get the power left by Shinano."
Chapter 79: Shura Field Between the Juniors and the Commander
Although it has a confusing name like "Goshinmon", it is actually just a torii gate located on the top floor of the castle tower.
Looking at the faded Torii in front of him, Xia Bai turned around and asked in confusion: "Is this thing the 'Goshin Gate'? It's all rotten, and it's really just a door, just put it indoors and leave it alone."
"After years of erosion, decay is normal. Only eternity can remain the same as always..."
It wouldn't take decades for it to rot like this. After listening to Nagato's pretended profound words, Xia Bai really wanted to ask the other person how old he was.
It was definitely older than him. Even the expelled soldiers from the Sakura Empire who were dressed as elementary school students were older than him, but Xia Bai had no idea how much older they were.
Nagato had no idea that Xia Bai was having wild thoughts in such a solemn place, so he immediately pushed him and said, "Commander, go in."
"I have already opened the 'Imperial Gate'. It is up to you now."
"Open?"
Looking left and right, Xia Bai really couldn't find out whether this thing could be opened, or when the long door was opened.
Pointing at the 'Goshin Gate' he asked in surprise, "Nagato, are you sure you want to go in? I can even see the decorations on the other side through the torii gate."
In order to prove his point, Xia Bai even walked to the back of the "Goshin Gate" and waved at Nagato on the other side from the door frame.
"Well, although it is in the style of a torii, the 'Goshinmon Gate' is something that Shinano left behind, and it is also something that she poured her energy into completing."
"Commander, you will understand once you walk in from my side."
Since Nagato had confirmed it again and again, Xia Bai returned to her side and said sarcastically, "Do you need to prepare anything? I actually think it's a bit silly to walk in like this."
As soon as I walked into the "Imperial Divine Gate", the surrounding environment changed drastically. I was clearly still indoors, but now I was on the sea.
The sea water was as clear and transparent as a mirror, showing Xia Bai's silly face very well, with no end in sight. The clear and boundless sky matched the sea, making it difficult to tell whether one was on the sea or in the sky.
Turning his head to look at the "Imperial Divine Gate" behind him, and then looking at the surrounding environment, Xia Bai's mouth twitched. He finally understood that this thing was a random door.
So it is worthy of being called Shinano? Even such a thing can be made. The big fox is always talking mysteriously, and it does have the capital to play tricks.
"That's right. The 'Goshinmon' made by Shinano possesses incredible power. Now we are not in the real world, nor in a dream, but in a world she created alone."
The Torii gate rippled like bubbles, and Nagato came in and explained aloud.
"This sky and sea are beautiful, Commander... This is the scene that Shinano wants to see the most, peaceful and tranquil."
Xia Bai had a different opinion on this. He retorted: "Nagato, your information is outdated. Now Shinano likes lawns full of evening primrose, and it would be best if there is a moon hanging in the sky."
"But the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere has not changed! Whatever Shinano likes, this is her long-cherished wish."
Seeing that Nagato looked a little excited, Xia Bai thought to himself that the other party wanted to compete with him to see who knew Shinano better, and he was simply courting death.
