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

"Who doesn't have a ring of oath... 03 Have you ever had close contact with the commander? Have you established a mental link with the commander? Are you the marriage ship recognized by everyone?"

St. Louis deliberately puffed out his chest and said complacently, "It's not that anyone who gets the Oath Ring can become a wedding ship, but only if you become a wedding ship and get the Oath Ring, it counts. Commander, don't you think this makes sense?"

Swallowing his saliva, Xia Bai nodded seriously and said, "That's true. 03, you go back first. I'll stay in St. Louis for the night."

To be honest, Xia Bai originally wanted to drive a big car. Now he is eager to go back to his room with St. Louis to stay and feel the gentleness and care of the rich woman.

As for RX-03? She has no figure, and if he goes back with her, she will definitely not be as good as the plump rich lady Baiying. However, he has no right to express his opinion in his current situation.

RX-03 pretended not to hear Xia Bai's words. He put the silk behind his ears and said word by word: "It's fair and democratic. No matter what you say, St. Louis, you have to ask the opinions of the other three of us."

She just didn't believe that Essex, who had just argued with her, and Zeppelin, who ran from Iron Blood to White Eagle, didn't have any ideas at all. Those who really didn't have any ideas would have gone back to their rooms to sleep long ago.

Hearing this, a trace of caution flashed in St. Louis' eyes. He slowly looked at the two silent people and found that they had surrounded him without him knowing.

In terms of strength, if she doesn't deploy her Mecha God, she is the weakest one present, and can't even beat RX-03, let alone the wedding ship. In this situation, these three people will not care about those at all.

"If I can't get it, you don't want it either" is not in the best interest of St. Louis. Rather than parting ways, it's better to share the commander.

As for sharing, naturally the fewer people there are, the better.

Thinking of this, St. Louis changed his mind, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Since you are coming, then I don't mind... To be honest, I don't particularly mind your presence."

After these words came out, Essex frowned and looked embarrassed. She stayed just to express her feelings to Xia Bai implicitly, which was already very shameful for a young girl, and the dumpling skin was only this implicit.

If Xia Baizhen slept with her, Essex might not know what to do.

Moreover, watching such things was really too embarrassing, so after hearing what St. Louis said, shy Essex hurriedly said good night and walked into the stairs.

RX-03 and Zeppelin were shameless, as if to say, "If you dare to let us into the room, we will watch it live."

"03 I understand, Zeppelin, what do you think?"

After persuading Essex to quit, St. Louis changed his target to Zeppelin. If he could also successfully persuade him to quit, then it would not be unacceptable to share the Commander with RX-03.

After thinking for a while, Zeppelin said honestly: "I don't have any disgusting plans like you. I just want to see the reproduction process of life with my own eyes to supplement my understanding of destruction."

"Well, it's a study in the scholarship of destruction."

As if to convince himself, Zeppelin added.

Well, it seems that this guy Zeppelin cannot be persuaded to retreat. Rather than saying that White Eagle "imprisoned" Zeppelin, it would be more accurate to say that it depends on Zeppelin's mood.

After all, this guy is the only "outsider" who knows where Xia Bai is. As long as he doesn't go too far, St. Louis can tolerate it.

It’s fine if it’s just three of us. As long as we cover ourselves with a blanket, no one will see anything.

After distributing the ownership of the "spoils", St. Louis led the three people to the fourth floor of the dormitory. The entire fourth floor had been opened up and renovated, and it was the residence of the rich woman.

When they got to the door, Xia Bai let go of Saint Louis' hand, looked up and said, "I don't think it's a good idea. Four people sleeping together will cause gossip among others."

St. Louis squatted down, looked him in the eye and said, "Hasn't the commander done this kind of thing before? Why are you suddenly afraid of gossip now?"

Staring at by St. Louis' rose-red eyes, Xia Bai said guiltily: "It was before... and it was also because of special circumstances at that time, and those who were together were all wedding ships."

"Now that I'm smaller...sleeping together will affect Zeppelin's reputation, and..." Xia Bai's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, because he was not quite sure what he wanted to say.

St. Louis came prepared, so entering her room could not be just a simple rest. If RX-03 was not there, Xia Bai would not have rejected the rich woman's tenderness.

But if 03 was around, he would think that it was not quite right for a brother to be so affectionate with his sister-in-law in front of his sister. You know, Xia Bai has always been a responsible brother.

I really want to drive a big truck, but I don't want to let 03 see me driving a big truck. I still have to have some dignity in front of her. This is probably the kind of conflicting mentality I have, but Xia Bai has no right to speak now.

Since he became smaller, although his commander's dignity is still there, the ship girls gradually stop taking him seriously. Even Nagato wants to be her sister, not to mention that RX-03 never gives him face in front of his family.

Before he could finish his hesitating, RX-03, who could no longer bear it, winked at St. Louis, who immediately opened the door.

'Pa-ta--'

With the sound of a door being locked, the full moon in the night sky was gradually covered by dark clouds.

Chapter 53: Human-Sculpture Dialogue

The jade rabbit falls in the west and the golden crow rises in the east.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

The dishevelled Xia Bai sneaked out of St. Louis' room and ran to Essex's room relying on his memory.

He made a big mistake. After becoming smaller, he was too weak and the rich woman forced him to stay in the quilt with her all night.

Xia Bai no longer wanted to recall the specific process. It was a mixture of shame and pain. It was not as exciting as he had expected. In the end, he was even squeezed to the point of losing consciousness.

This was the first time in his history that he was completely defeated in a night battle, and he was crushed head-on by St. Louis.

If I continue to stay... I will be completely drained by St. Louis, not to mention that there were two shameless guys watching from the side last night.

Recalling the painful experience of last night, Xia Bai became more determined not to be discovered by other ship girls, and planned to have a talk with that bastard Atago after recovering to her original appearance.

It is because of Atago that the atmosphere in the port area has become so chaotic, even St. Louis has been affected. Originally, the rich woman was very gentle and shy in night battles, and would never be as "violent" as last night.

Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that he looked too attractive now. According to the game terminology, the shota version of himself should have passive skills such as charm and sanity evaporation, which would be a great bonus to the ship girl with hidden "warlock" attributes.

Otherwise there is no way to explain why St. Louis has become like this.

While wondering whether he should ask Akashi to check his body, Xia Bai staggered to the fifth floor. After looking up at the door number and confirming that it was Essex's room, Xia Bai gently knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

"Essex, are you awake?"

Last night's experience made Xia Bai lose his self-esteem. In order to avoid damaging his self-esteem again, without running away from White Eagle, he needs to find a powerful helper to help him get through the next few days.

The serious and solemn Essex is his best choice. Jiaozi is not the kind of ship girl who would want to crush him.

After knocking several times, there was no sound from inside the door. Xia Bai hesitated for a moment and grabbed the door handle.

"Essex, I'm coming in."

After carefully closing the door, Xia Bai finally took the time to look closely at Essex's room.

Although she is also a White Eagle, Jiaozi is obviously not as extravagant as the rich woman. Any cup of hers costs nearly five figures. The furnishings in her living room are simple, with a sofa, a coffee table, and a few photos of White Eagle hanging on the light green wall. There are some small decorations such as medals on the cabinet in the corner.

A few steps further, the flowers and tree trunks on the balcony came into Xia Bai's eyes, fresh, natural, and not abrupt. Although the room was simple, it gave Xia Bai the feeling that it was a room for a normal ship girl, while the Iron Blood one was more like being in prison.

His eyes moved to the sofa and looked at the doll placed on it. Xia Bai was stunned for a moment, a look of nostalgia on his face.

Walking over quickly and hugging the brown stuffed bear, Xia Bai said with emotion: "The gift I gave you back then is still here... Essex, you're making it really difficult for me."

Xia Bai threw away all the things they had given each other as gifts shortly after the first attack on the Solomon Line. The only thing that was kept was the watch that both of them owned.

And that watch also disappeared inexplicably during the time in Sakura Empire. Xia Bai once thought about getting it back, but later he felt that it would be better to lose such a commemorative item.

Now seeing that Essex had kept all the things he had given him well, Xia Bai felt a slight sense of guilt in his heart.

But it's over now, there's no point thinking about it now.

With a sigh, Xia Bai put the teddy bear back to its original place, and at this moment, a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on him.

The movement paused for a few beats, Xia Bai looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't scare me, you stupid bird. I thought it was Essex."

Tilting its head, Essex's companion sea eagle flapped its wings and landed on the coffee table, looking at Xia Bai with confusion in his eyes.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo."

Xia Bai waited for him and said unhappily, "You eat my food, use my things, and now you ask who I am?"

"Coo, coo, coo!" The sea eagle called softly with its orange eyes wide open.

Nodding, Xia Bai said earnestly, "Be more careful. Last time, New Jersey reported you for attacking Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. You-chan came to me alone and reported that you were flying around like a fool all day, affecting everyone's sleep."

"Da Feng also said that you often interfered when he was teaching the two new recruits. If I hadn't been holding you back, you would have been captured and roasted for food."

"I don't ask you to learn from the 'God of Death' of the enterprise, but can you learn from the fat chicken of Perseus and be a little more stable."

Instead of feeling ashamed, the sea eagle puffed out its chest and looked very proud. Xia Bai's eyelids twitched at the smug look.

"Just keep being so arrogant. When the day comes when Essex can't protect you anymore, I'll see what you'll do."

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

"You ask me why I came to Essex now? Alas, you won't understand these things even if I tell you. You are just a fool."

With a sharp light flashing in its eyes, the sea eagle jumped to Xia Bai's side, spread one of its large wings and pressed him down on the sofa, calling him softly as if it was hugging Xia Bai's shoulders.

It probably means how difficult it is for Essex and how helpless she is. As a man, Xia Bai should be more generous. Those things were not what Essex thought. In fact, she was also very sad.

"I have never complained about Essex. At most, there was some atmosphere at that time, but now I have let it go."

"Cuckoo?"

"It's not that easy for people to get along with each other. We can't go back to the past. We are not as free as you are and can fly freely."

With an excited look on its face, the sea eagle jumped up and down beside Xia Bai, pecking at Xia Bai's head with its sharp beak.

"Goooooooooo!"

"You are right. Essex is also a victim. I am indeed too stingy. But many things cannot be explained in just a few words."

"To be honest, I feel a little awkward when I meet Essex now. I don't know whether to see her as Azalea or as Essex."

"It was Azalea I had always admired, not Essex."

"You said we can just treat them as Essex? Hmm...how should I put it? I can't treat them as separate individuals."

"If you want to say yes, I really don't have such expectations. But if you say I don't want to, I don't want to have any regrets."

"Whether the 'story' can be successfully unfolded depends on whether I still have certain thoughts about Essex and Cecilia."

"..."

Chapter 54 What is a normal ship girl like?

In the bedroom.

The beautiful girl lay on the bed, her slender arms sticking out from the solid-colored thin quilt. The sunlight shone directly from the window onto her peaceful face, and her long eyelashes moved.

"Hmm... so blinding..."

After opening her eyes, Essex moaned softly, reached out to half-pull the curtains, and leaned on the pillow. After a while, she patted her face, and her blurry eyes became clear.

Putting the communication ring on the bedside table on his wrist, Essex lifted the quilt, stepped on the carpet with his delicate feet, and walked into the bathroom in the bedroom.

"Huh, I actually dreamed about things that happened in the past...Essex, you are really a shameless person." Essex turned on the spray to rinse his body and murmured softly.

Giving up is not that easy for a ship girl, especially giving up emotionally. As a spiritualist, once a ship girl has entanglement with other people, it will be a lifelong thing.

Perhaps it was just like what Bremerton said, instead of letting his heart continue to suffer, it would be better to take the initiative to attack, at least to make that guy suffer as much as he did...

After wiping the water droplets off her body with a towel, Essex opened the wardrobe and hesitated for a while. In the end, she did not choose a skirt and wore a white short-sleeved shirt with the White Eagle logo and blue sports shorts.

Looking at her youthful and beautiful self in the mirror, Essex nodded with satisfaction. So be it. Changing into a skirt that she didn't normally wear just for him made her look like an idiot.

After tying her hair into two ponytails, Essex was ready to call her companion sea eagle and run to the beach with it to exercise as she did in the past, but the long legs reflected in the mirror made her stop.

As if by magic, Essex took out a pair of stockings and slowly put them on her delicate legs.

This is definitely not something I am doing to make myself look good for him, but the sea breeze in the morning is a bit cold, so I want to wear more clothes to be more comfortable.

After convincing himself in his heart, Essex was just about to open the bedroom door to notify the sea eagle to get ready when he heard the sound of conversation coming from the living room.

"I never thought that there would be a day when a bird would despise me... Do you know what love is?"

"Coo, coo, coo..."

"You know nothing about love. What you are talking about is not love, it is a crime."

"Goo!"

"Don't rush to deny it. Feelings are something you can't force. If you don't like it, then you don't like it... What? Are you asking me if I still like Essex?"

Hearing this, Essex put down his hand that was about to open the door, held his breath and put his ear against the door, his heartbeat gradually speeding up.

This tone of speaking... There is no doubt that the person communicating with Hai Diao in the living room is Xia Bai. Although he doesn't know why the other party came here, now is obviously not the time to care about this.

Hai Diao had almost asked what she wanted to say, and Xia Bai's answer was very important to Essex.

Whatever the answer was, there was no way the two of them could continue to maintain their current awkward relationship if Essex heard it.

Whether it is the beginning of the story or the end of the remnants depends entirely on Xia Bai's next answer.

"Well... this is a very pointed question. I can only answer you that I have loved you."

After hearing Xia Bai's words, Essex's mood sank to the bottom, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"It's all just my fantasy...it should have ended long ago." Muttering to himself, Essex raised his head and covered his face.
