Is fate really that mysterious?
Just as Shokaku began to doubt Kansheng, she heard Akagi's unreasonable demands.
"Dear, what do you think of Akagi as a secretary ship?"
Slamming the table, Shokaku stood up and said angrily: "I am the secretary ship, you vixen who joined in the middle, get out of here!"
She had put in a lot of effort to get a seat on the secretary ship, and how could she bear to see that Akagi was trying to reap the fruits of her victory?
Seeing that Shokaku's defense was broken, Akagi was extremely pleased, and imitated her and said in a sarcastic tone: "Ala ala~ Since when can you make decisions for the commander? Isn't the position of secretary ship for those who are capable?"
"I..." Shokaku wanted to argue, but couldn't find any point to refute. Akagi's words were undoubtedly enough to kill her, so she could only hold her chest and sulk.
She lost this round. Akagi must have been well prepared and came on strong, so it was not unfair for her to lose.
Seeing Shokaku, who was usually very arrogant when he had a commander, become a wronged bag, Akagi smiled foolishly, making a "cluck" sound like a silver bell.
"You came here to ask about Qian Gong. Why are you arguing with Shokaku? I thought you were reliable, Akagi."
Seeing that Shokaku was being bullied, Xia Bai began to steer the conversation back to business. Even though he had subtle feelings for Akagi, he couldn't just get bored with the old and fall in love with the new.
"Well, Akagi already knew this a long time ago. The purpose of coming to the banquet is just to see my dear." Seeing that Xia Bai was a little puzzled, Akagi took out a black metal box from the ship's space and opened it.
"Dangdangdang! Xia Bai, are you very happy and surprised to see me, the Purifier?"
Xia Bai, who was drinking juice, saw the Purifier's head rolling out and spat it out. He wiped the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger and shouted: "Ahem... You didn't go back with Steliancus!?"
"My body has been destroyed, so the space transmission system is naturally unusable." A little disappointed, the Purifier said with tears in his eyes, "Help me, after all, we are partners who defeated Qian Gong together, Xia Bai, you won't just ignore me, right?"
"You are more shameless than me. Apart from making a funny self-destruction, what else did you do, Purifier?"
"Hey! Why do you say that? I helped take care of the unconscious Dafeng." Trying his best to express his usefulness, the Purifier's remaining head jumped onto Xia Bai. The scene was very terrifying.
"I don't care. Xia Bai, you must help me today. I have already given all the information I know to those two foxes."
No wonder Akagi didn't care about being polite after he came. It turns out there is a Siren traitor like you. Complaining about the Purifier in his heart, Xia Bai held her head and said in confusion: "You can't contact Observer Zero?"
After hearing this, the Purifier pursed his lips and said with great grievance: "Master Zero told me to figure it out on my own, and then the [Host] cut off my communication, and I can no longer get in touch with it... wuwuwu."
"..."
Looking at the Purifier crying loudly, Xia Bai really felt a little pity for her. This guy has done so many evil things, but he has been witnessed three times without seemingly doing anything bad.
Once it was sunk by New Jersey, once it was sunk by itself, and the last time it faced Qiangong and ended up in this state.
Patting her head, Xia Bai picked up the cup and filled it up for her, saying softly, "Don't cry, I'll help you think of a solution. Drink some juice."
"Wow... Yeah."
Responding weakly, the Purifier stuck out his tongue to taste it, then his eyes flashed like stars, he bit the cup and drank it all, then pursed his lips.
"Give me another drink, this stuff is delicious!"
He looked full of energy, as if he had walked out of his sadness. The juice he drank flowed out from under his head, wetting Xia Bai's pants.
This guy is really a talented person.
Chapter 129 Missing
Although it was a celebration party, not many people came. Most of them were small ship girls who did not participate in the battle and came to join in the fun.
King Kong, Jun Mu and others who really contributed refused Xia Bai's invitation with hesitation, but fortunately Noshiro came with Ershui Zhan, so the scene did not become too deserted.
Xia Bai could vaguely guess the reason. Faced with an insurmountable enemy, everyone felt powerless. It was ironic that they had to attend the celebration party even though they had not contributed much in the battle.
This was the reason they refused, which was very realistic, so Xia Bai couldn't say anything. Anyway, he was just entertaining himself and didn't force it, so the celebration party became his welcoming party.
Everyone sat together and chatted about random things. The destroyers discussed how to play tomorrow, and the mature ship girls gathered together to discuss humility and purifiers with Xia Bai.
Some ship girls think that it is too dangerous to leave a wise siren in Sakura Empire. She might suddenly attack one day. Who knows whether the Purifier pretends to be cut off from the permission to contact the [host] and secretly steals the intelligence of Sakura Empire.
Xia Bai said that was enough. Siren could even do the Supreme Humility. If they really wanted to kill us, it would be easier than crushing an ant. Why think about these things? It would only cause trouble.
If the Purifier wants to steal information, let her steal it. What is there to hide? There is no point in playing ostrich. Maybe Observer Zero is spying on their every move and even knows what color underwear you are wearing.
Akagi echoed Xia Bai's words and said that his commander's words were rough but true. With the Sirens' level of technology, they can only play with the ship girls for fun. If they really get serious, it will be effortless to deal with them. Don't take yourself too seriously.
The trembling Purifier was so moved that he almost pledged himself to her, and praised Xia Bai for being reliable.
No one could convince anyone else about this matter. The opposing ship girl believed that one should always have both face and substance. Even if the other party was strong, the surface work had to be done well.
Akagi and others, led by Xia Bai, believed that instead of having these useless things, it would be better to think about how to make themselves stronger, and then the face and substance would naturally come.
In the end, with Akagi folding his sleeves and acting like he was conquering people with force, the Purifier was able to stay in Sakura Empire safely, which is cause for celebration.
After the banquet.
Watching the ship girls leave one by one, there were only a few people left in the living room. After cleaning up the garbage, Xia Bai wiped the sweat off his face and said breathlessly: "That's it, everyone is very tired, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
"Please Kaga, take the Purifier back first and send it to Akashi tomorrow to see if there is any solution."
Hearing this, Kaga nodded and forcibly pulled Akagi away, who wanted to stay. She knew very well what this sister wanted to do, and if she stayed, it was definitely because she wanted to run away.
What a joke! Kaga hasn't even started eating yet. Even she is an older sister and should know the first come first served principle.
Watching Akagi leave with an unwilling look on his face after being persuaded by Kaga, his back looking very lonely, Shokaku also nodded to Xia Bai frequently.
"Then I'll go back first, Commander, have a good rest."
Xia Bai had only been in Sakura City for two days, but he had already encountered so many things. He must be very tired now. Shokaku did not bother him any more. He said goodbye and went back to his house.
She is a woman of common sense.
"They're all gone...yawn."
After stretching, Xia Bai went into the bathroom to take a hot shower, then fell heavily on the bed, looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully.
"It seems that he still doesn't know that he has arrived in Sakura Empire." With this message flashing through his mind, Xia Bai turned over and opened the communication ring.
I wrote a long paragraph on the light screen to express my longing for you, but when I was about to send it, I hesitated. After thinking it over again and again, I deleted it all and replaced it with the simplest universal sentence and sent it.
"Are you there?"
After waiting for a long time, there was no reply from the maid. Xia Bai thought that it was so late and she should be asleep, so he should not disturb her.
So he was about to turn off the screen and prepare for bed, but immediately received a video call invitation from Sheffield. He hurriedly turned on the light, lay on the bed, and clicked to accept.
The light screen flickered a few times, and Sheffield's cold little face appeared on it. Judging from her wet hair, she must have been taking a shower just now.
While wiping his hair, Sheffield said in a cold voice: "Master, what do you want to see me for so late?"
Listening to this familiar voice, Xia Bai felt like crying and said hoarsely, "I miss you."
These four words describe all the hardships and fatigue along the way, and contain all of Xia Bai's longing, which caught Sheffield off guard.
Putting the towel down, she smiled and whispered, "I missed you too, Master."
Even though there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them, the feelings between the two have not changed at all, just like a bottle of fine wine, the longer it is stored, the richer and mellower it becomes.
It seemed as if I could never get enough of the other person’s face on the screen.
"Master, have you arrived in Sakura?"
"Well...I arrived yesterday, and I went through a lot of things in between."
In this way, Xia Bai told Sheffield all his experiences from the time he left the royal family until tonight without reservation, including Noshiro, Taiho, Akagi, Kaga, Shinano, Jue Gao Wushang·Humility, and Siren.
In front of RX-03 and other sons of Prometheus, he cannot be confused or cowardly, because he is RX-02, the second brother.
He has to pretend to be strong in front of the Sakura Empire ship girls and show them his desire and determination for victory, because he is hope and the commander.
But in front of Sheffield, he was just a stupid and worrying master, and Sheffield was his smart and reassuring maid, nothing more.
Therefore, Xia Bai would not hide anything from Sheffield, nor would there be anything about himself that he would not let the other party know.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master. You have to face powerful enemies and endure the harassment of the Sakura Empire's shipgirls."
When Sheffield heard about the bad things that Shinano and Taihou had done, he became very angry and sneered at them, thinking that the Sakura Empire was a group of beasts who only followed their desires.
When she heard about the battle between Xia Bai and Qian Gong, she felt very distressed and worried about her master. Facing such an enemy, the only ones who were useful were the Arbitrator Stelencus and Shokaku.
As expected, I shouldn't have let my master go to Sakura Empire. Those guys would only cause trouble.
Feeling a little regretful, Sheffield wanted to touch Xia Bai's face, but her arm passed through the light screen, making her feel a little sad.
"I don't find it hard. As long as I can see Sheffield, I feel that everything I do is meaningful."
"You are so smooth-talking. It seems that you have learned bad things from the Sakura Empire..."
"No, I really mean it. With Sheffield by my side, I feel full of strength and can overcome any difficulties."
"Fool..."
Touching his slightly hot cheeks, Sheffield chatted with Xia Bai until very late before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
"Tomorrow, go and say goodbye to Belfast and hand over your work. As a maid, you can't be away from your master's side."
Having made up her mind, the maid pulled up the quilt and fell asleep peacefully.
Chapter 130 Communication in Dreams
The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the night is filled with darkness.
Evening primroses are blooming brilliantly all over the mountains. The bright moonlight covers them with a veil, and the bright colors become hazy and faint.
Looking at the evening primrose boredly, Shinano opened her slender hand slightly and picked one of the flowers, holding it in the palm of her hand to examine it carefully, and her silver-gray ears trembled slightly.
Then her beautiful cobalt blue eyes sparkled and she looked up to a place not far away.
The ghost butterflies gathered, the space expanded like ripples, and Xia Bai's figure appeared.
"I chatted with Sheffield for a while... Sorry, I'm late." Xia Bai said embarrassedly, and walked straight to Shinano, sitting on the ground leaning against her soft body.
Throwing down the evening primrose in his hand, Shinano had a peaceful smile on his face, and his little head slowly fell on his shoulder, with his nine fox tails shaking constantly.
"It doesn't matter. I just established the dream space not long ago."
Reaching out and holding Shinano's slender waist, they both enjoyed the tranquility of the moment. Xia Bai looked at her shiny, delicate face and said worriedly: "Is it really okay to abuse your abilities like this? Your body..."
"I am very aware of the limits of my current abilities, and this space is also built on the commander's mind."
"It'll be alright. I won't give up my belief in survival... I also have a promise with the commander."
After hearing Shinano's reply, Xia Bai put aside his worries and asked, "Why don't you show up in front of the other people in the Imperial Palace? They will definitely be happy if they know that you, the former flagship, are back."
"Because I'm afraid." Shinano said softly, with her silver-gray fox ears drooping, "I don't dare show myself in front of those children in my current state."
"Carrying so many expectations, but disappeared alone...Even to appear in reality, I need the help of the commander."
Considering Shinano's lonely expression at the moment, Xia Bai understood her fear and hesitation, and couldn't help but smile.
The majestic flagship is now in such a state of decline that it has even lost the ability to predict the future. Shinano's self-esteem cannot accept it, and she is too ashamed to see other people from the Sakura Empire.
I always feel that she is a bit childish, like an elementary school student who made a mistake and is too embarrassed to admit it, with a pouty mouth and acting shy.
Perhaps, only in front of his commander would Shinano reveal his weak side. Thinking of this, Xia Bai gently touched the other's soft ears, which felt great.
The slightly lost feeling disappeared, Shinano protected his ears and whispered: "Commander, my ears are a little..."
"Hahaha, I've been wanting to touch your ears for a long time... Don't look at me with grievance like that. Fox ears wiggle all over, and everyone would want to try it."
This is true. After Xia Bai came to Sakura Empire, the ship girls he saw all had more or less strange features on their heads, such as devil horns and various ears.
He had long coveted the white furry ears on Kaga's head, but was too embarrassed to ask about it because of the other party's cold and indifferent expression. Now, he finally got what he wanted.
"Alright, alright, I won't touch you anymore... Shinano, don't keep thinking about those inexplicable things. No one in the Sakura Empire will blame you."
"It's not your fault that you were captured by the Sirens. They have advanced technology and it's not difficult for them to capture a ship girl. There's no need to put the blame on yourself."
No matter what, these ship girls will have some psychological problems to a certain extent. As the commander, Xia Bai needs to help them solve their problems.
Looking at Xia Bai's serious expression, Shinano put down his hands that were protecting his ears and nodded.
"That's right. Anyway, I'll have to meet the others after I rescue you. It's not a good idea to hold on to this idea."
"Commander, are you sure you can rescue me?"
"I will definitely rescue you... Tsk, speaking of this, Steliancus left too fast. I haven't even asked how to get to the outside world, and that idiot Purifier definitely doesn't know either."
Smacking his lips, Xia Bai said with hatred, thinking that Qian Gong was a good-for-nothing. He could have found out the location right away, but that idiot suddenly showed up and interrupted everything.
Feeling extremely regretful, Xia Bai remembered something and looked up and said, "Shinanoh, didn't you observe the future in this regard?"
"No... Most of what I observed was the commander's future direction, and because of the changes in the situation, this aspect of the future also seems unclear."
Shaking his head, Shinano frowned, and the moonlit night beads floating in the air behind him gathered together, projecting a picture like a mirror flower and water moon.
The picture was blurry, at least Xia Bai couldn't make out anything from it.
