"No, I want to go home with my dear."

Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Akashi had to pretend to be fierce, raised his hand and said: "If you don't obey, Akashi will ask Akagi to roast Cheshire."

Although Mingshi was cute when he pretended to be fierce, Cheshire was still scared when he heard about Akagi. Akagi, whom he had never met before, actually wanted to eat a cute cat!

Without any doubt about the truth of Xia Baihua's words, Cheshire's innocent cat face fell and he stayed in the underground laboratory with a sad face.

..........

“Huh…”

Soaking in the misty hot spring, Xia Bai leaned against the steps and moaned in comfort.

For him, taking a bath in the open-air hot spring at home after handling all kinds of affairs is the most enjoyable experience on earth.

Xia Bai put the towel on his forehead like what he saw on TV, looked up at the starry sky, and his thoughts gradually began to wander.

Under the same sky, what are you thinking about at this moment, Patton.

Regret or anger, unwillingness or annoyance...or just act like nothing happened and go to the bar to drink.

Aren't you afraid of the fact that you are about to be court-martialed, or have you no longer felt the fear?

After much thought, Xia Bai decided to take the initiative to contact Barton Brian. It was not because he was worried about his current situation, but he just wanted to see what he was like now.

Chapter 106 Dad, I really can’t hold it anymore

'beep--'

As a former commander, Barton Brian had a communication ring, and his contact method was no secret, at least not to the Son of Prometheus.

It’s just that Xia Bai didn’t want to contact Patton before, because he hated people like Patton and he hated every shortcoming of the other person.

But even though he hated the other party, Xia Bai was still uneasy when he heard the phone ring. He suddenly didn't know what to say to Patton, and he just dialed the call in a rush.

And this emotion became more and more obvious with the prompt sound of the communication being disconnected.

My heart was beating violently and my breathing was rapid.

perhaps.

It was Xia Bai himself who was afraid, afraid that he didn't know how to face Barton Brian.

'Ding--'

When the call was connected, Xia Bai's mood inexplicably calmed down and he fell into a long silence.

"Since you've decided to contact me, why don't you talk?"

"..."

"I see. You're shy, aren't you? After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"..."

"Pretending to be an expert without saying anything?"

Hearing the familiar and frivolous male voice, Xia Bai finally couldn't help but speak: "You are still so frivolous when disaster is imminent. Don't you know you are going to die?"

"Death? You think too much. I won't die. Your mother will protect me... And be careful with your address. You should call me father, or dad is fine."

The father-son relationship between the Son of Prometheus and Barton Brian is not that of a researcher and a test subject, but a more deeply distorted concept.

They were made from the ship suits of the KanColle and the wreckage of the Siren, and the wreckage of the KanColle...came from the KanColle that was sunk by Barton Brian in the Battle of the Solomon Line.

Some of them are Patton’s wedding ships, and some are not, but since they are all ship girls under his command, he deserves the title of father.

"Fuck you! Don't use your tricks on us. The Son of Prometheus is not your child!"

There are not many people who can make Xia Bai break down and curse at him, and Barton Brian is one of them. This is also one of the reasons why Xia Bai hates him so much.

"You can curse me, but don't insult your grandma. She hasn't been feeling well lately."

Xia Bai was so angry that he laughed instead. He really regretted that he had even thought of contacting this bastard. A scum like Barton Bryan deserved to die. He should have died when the Solomon Line of Defense was lost.

"I said, the son of Prometheus is not your child, and we don't have an irresponsible father like you."

After lighting a cigarette, Barton Bryan sighed and shook his head before answering, "Well, I know that in your minds I am irresponsible, but what can I do?"

"The vice admiral is just an empty shell. I don't have much power. I only got it through hard work by the Maritime Administration. Those people in the military never pay attention to me."

"So Xia Bai, you should forgive me... By the way, have you named 03 and the others? Can you give me the naming rights?"

Perhaps because Patton was once a commander, he was not as strict and rigid as a soldier. Instead, he was frivolous and down-to-earth. He was almost forty years old and still jumping around every day.

Patton's intermittent thinking patterns were one of the reasons why Xia Bai hated him, but no matter how much he hated him, Xia Bai knew that he was constantly developing into the same type of person.

I have become the person I hate the most.

"Don't mention this to me. A name is something that will stay with you for a lifetime. With your cultural knowledge, the most you can do is give yourself a common name like 'Mary' or 'Jack'."

As an old father, how could Barton tolerate Xia Bai's ridicule? He replied sarcastically: "I am a graduate of the second term of the Command Academy. Unlike you, you don't even have an elementary school diploma."

"Besides, your name Xia Bai is very good, white summer... hehehe, it's obvious to others who has higher cultural knowledge."

Xia Bai clenched his fists slightly in the water, and veins popped out on his forehead. He wished he could rush over and punch the other party twice. In terms of talking, he was really no match for Patton.

Taking a deep breath and then slowly exhaling, Xia Bai said in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense with me. How is the situation over there? I expect to arrive at Takors early tomorrow morning. Be careful before then."

Hearing the tone of the words, one might have thought that Xia Bai was here to seek revenge, but Barton could hear the worry and concern that the other party was trying hard to hide. While feeling relieved, he secretly wondered how his lonely second child had become so arrogant.

Could it be that the second one was made from Chris's ship suit? No, that's not right. There was only one tsundere in the tutelage where his entire army had been annihilated, and the other party did not sink and is now always with him.

After thinking about it, Barton could only sigh that time can really change a person, and answered seriously: "My situation is okay. Those bastards in the military don't dare to do anything to me yet. Besides, your mother is with me, so I don't have to worry about assassination for the time being."

"But I heard recently that other ship girls have come inland. I wonder if they are from the military. If they are really here for this matter, and your mother is only a destroyer... it hurts!"

Patton suddenly stopped talking here, and then Xia Bai vaguely heard knocking sounds, and a woman's scolding, which must be his so-called "mother".

After a long while, when Barton finished apologizing to Chris, he continued, "So, Dad, I really can't hold it anymore, but fortunately, I have already notified the Maritime Administration, and they will send a powerful ship girl to protect me."

"Let's not talk about that. How are you doing over there, second brother? I heard that you recently formed an alliance with Azur Lane."

Thinking that Patton's current situation didn't seem that bad, Xia Bai adjusted his posture and sank into the hot spring.

"I don't know much about what's going on on Sprain Island. I haven't been back for a long time."

"But I'm the commander of Sakura Empire now, which is not bad, right? The only problem is that I have too many shipgirls under me. I have to coax them to sleep every day, which is really troublesome."

However, his deliberate Versailles did not irritate Patton. Instead, it made him sigh with emotion and flatter himself.

"As expected of the second oldest, he's really awesome. He became the commander of the Sakura Empire straight away... Oh, I remember when I first had so many people in my tutelary fort, and they were all so cute."

"Those were such wonderful days. Apart from going out to fight, I could spend as much time as I wanted with my wives..."

It seems that the commander, Barton Bryan, is a European and has hundreds of ship girls under his command.

Throwing the memories out of his mind, Barton wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and reminded in a deep voice.

"But you must be careful of other commanders when you come to Takorth this time, because they will hunt you with poisoned spears."

"This is the life experience that I give you as a person who has been through it. Africans are all radical and evil. If they can't get the big sister, they will always try every means to target Europeans like us."

Chapter 107 Night Raid on Kaohsiung

From a personality perspective, Barton Brian is indeed very similar to Xia Bai's father, because they both have very similar personalities, both are so frivolous and have divergent thinking.

The only difference is that Xia Bai has not yet attacked the small ship girl, while Patton has already done so. However, judging from Nagato's situation, it seems that Xia Bai will not be far away from it.

"I really don't know why you are so calm when you are facing a crisis, and why you are in the mood to talk to me about this..."

Throwing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Barton glanced at Chris beside him and said with a smile, "Because I am your father, a man can only grow up after going through hardships and remain calm in times of crisis... Instead of worrying about when you will die, you should think about what to eat tomorrow."

"I have made all the preparations I can. All that remains is to see how the military will respond."

As if he remembered something, he suddenly asked again: "Are you coming here to rob the execution ground?"

Based on Patton's understanding of Xia Bai, the possibility of robbing the execution ground is very high. The second son of his family used to be withdrawn and always disliked to use his brain. He also had no time to play around with the military. Being simple and rough was his favorite thing.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xia Bai would come to the Takors area to do something big, so Patton said anxiously: "I know you are dissatisfied with the military, and so am I, so I beat up that bastard in the bar."

"But if you make any trouble, Takors will be in trouble. Don't worry, it's not so dangerous that you need to come to the execution ground."

"Dad has already made sufficient arrangements. As long as they can't sentence me to death on the spot in the military court, hehe, the bigger thing is yet to come."

Although he didn't know what Barton meant by "big", since the other party said so, Xia Bai gave up the more radical actions and said lightly: "I won't rob the execution ground. I came to Takers not mainly because you are imprisoned, but just happened to go to the Maritime Administration."

"You...are you being tsundere? You look a lot like your mother..."

"roll!"

Xia Bai hung up the phone angrily. He felt that contacting Barton today was a wrong decision. Even his mood for taking a hot spring bath was disrupted.

Every time he communicated with Patton, he would be furious. After all, the other party always called him "Dad", so he was naturally one level higher than him.

The key point is that Xia Bai still believes that Patton is the father of Prometheus' son, but he just doesn't want to say it.

Of course, this is not because of Patton, but because of the real "mother" of the Son of Prometheus - the ship that sank in the Solomon Line.

The wreckage of their ship and the fragments of the Siren's wreckage condensed into the Son of Prometheus, so under this relationship, Xia Bai also had a certain respect for Barton Brian.

But after understanding what kind of person that guy is, this respect disappeared.

Looking at the time, it was getting late. In order to be fully energetic for the flight tomorrow, Xia Bai decided to soak for a while and then go back to his room to rest.

I don’t know if Sheffield has calmed down. It would be a great pleasure if I could fall asleep hugging her slender body.

The same goes for Ayanami-chan. If she is still playing games in her room now, she can hug each other to sleep again, and just need to coax her for what happened last time.

Thinking of Ayanami's fragrant and soft ice cream, Xia Bai's body moved. Under the temperature of the hot spring, his body couldn't help feeling a little hot.

When Xia Bai discovered this, he immediately closed his eyes and silently recited the decimal point after the circle law in his mind, hoping that this would calm his anxiety.

If he really gets into the mood, he might have to solve it himself tonight.

When Xia Bai thought of this, he felt sad. Who said that having a wedding ship means you can have fun every night? Now the two foxes will definitely not come tonight, Taihou has been captured by Akagi again, Sheffield is still angry, and it is not reliable to go to find Shokaku.

After all, I have to set off early tomorrow morning, so it’s not appropriate to go at this time... How about I attack Kaohsiung at night by myself?

Kaohsiung's plump and slender legs and black stockings appeared in his mind. Xia Bai thought to himself that something was wrong. He wanted to calm down, but the more he thought about it, the more motivated he became.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Niu Niu wanted to come out of the water. In order to avoid catching a cold, Xia Bai sat in the water with only his head exposed.

His thoughts began to change. Xia Bai was already considering whether Kaohsiung would agree. The other party was so self-disciplined and strict, it would be difficult to talk to him. Would he slap him in the face and then scold him for being shameless?

With some struggle in his eyes, Xia Bai suddenly stood up from the water. Overwhelmed by desire, he immediately changed his clothes and ran straight to Kaohsiung's room on the first floor.

Forcing is impossible, he cares a lot about the inner feelings of the ship girls, but it’s not too much to give them a hint first.

Tiptoeing to the door, Xia Bai swallowed and suddenly hesitated. Even if Kaohsiung was his contracted ship, wouldn't it be a bad idea to do this?

Just as Xia Bai was hesitating outside Kaohsiung's door, a fragrant breeze blew over.

"Xia Bai, what are you doing in front of Sister Kaohsiung's door? You're sneaking around like that, haha~"

Patting Xia Bai's shoulder, Atago said with a smile, and wiped her wet long hair. It seemed that she had just finished taking a shower and was about to go back to her room to sleep.

Looking at Atago who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, Xia Bai's eyes wandered, and he waved his hands and said, "Who is sneaking around? I just have something important to do... No, I'm just passing by."

"Passing by?"

Biting this word, Atago licked her lips, showing off the flexibility of her pink tongue.

"Are you just passing by? Xiao Xiabai, do you want to go back to your room with your sister to have a drink? I just bought some good sake, it's delicious~"

"And if you get drunk, you never know what might happen, hahaha~"

If it were the usual Xia Bai, he would definitely not be moved by such a low-end trick of Atago. He is a gentleman. Can sake taste as good as the fat otaku's happy water? Besides, he doesn't like drinking.

But after hearing what Atago said, he was really moved. It was not because Atago's round and mellow toes were so cute, but because Xia Bai was really curious about what the best sake tasted like.

So he cleared his throat and pretended not to care and asked, "This is not a good idea..."

"Sister, what's wrong with inviting your commander to drink? Just some sake. It won't affect tomorrow's schedule..."

Before he could finish his words, the door suddenly opened, and a white arm stretched out, grabbed Xia Bai, quickly dragged him into the room, and slammed the door shut.

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Atago hugged her chest and looked at the door, her orange-yellow animal eyes flashing continuously.

"There will be a good show tonight... hehe."
