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

Quickly throw this terrible thought out of your mind. If you continue thinking about it, you will probably have a trauma in your heart when you see the ship girl in the future.

"By the way, Kaga, are you going home tonight? If not, tell Akagi so that she won't knock on the door in the middle of the night."

"I won't go back... and I don't need to tell my sister. She never cares about my whereabouts."

After getting Kaga's affirmative reply, Xia Bai was overjoyed. It would be nice to do nothing else at night and just sleep while hugging Kaga's sweet and soft body.

"By the way, Kaga, do you want to learn something about mechas?" Xia Bai said as he got off the bed and took out a black handle.

Carefully distinguishing what Xia Bai was holding, Kaga said with disdain: "Game console... Are the mecha-related knowledge you mentioned the game console? I have no interest in this kind of entertainment toy."

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Most of the changes in my abilities have prototypes. For example, Destiny Wolf is Barbatos... Uh, Kaga, do you know anything about Gundam?"

Shaking his head blankly, Kaga replied coldly: "I haven't heard of it. If the commander wants to find someone who shares the same interests, I do have someone to recommend."

Seeing that Kaga was not interested, Xia Bai did not force him. He took out the game console and connected it to the monitor. He was really trying to catch up on the relevant knowledge.

After Shinano told him about Guranxiu, Xia Bai searched for information on the subject online, trying to learn more about mechas.

In case there are any strange forms in the future, he will be able to tell which mecha is similar based on its appearance and armament, so at least he won't be at a loss when sitting in the driver's seat.

For this purpose, Xia Bai also specifically consulted the mecha enthusiast Yan Zhan, who told him that in addition to watching Gundam, playing games can also quickly supplement knowledge in this area, and recommended a lot of mecha games.

So he started playing games of this kind. By the way, the game console was obtained by Akashi from someone else. Xia Bai didn't know who it was. Anyway, Akashi told him not to break it.

Before Xia Bai could turn on the display screen hanging on the wall, hurried footsteps were heard, getting closer and closer to the room.

With a 'bang', the door was pushed open and Shokaku walked in, panting.

"Commander, you..."

Seeing Kaga sitting on the bed, Shokaku stopped talking and stood there for a long time without saying a word, because she saw something in Kaga's hand that she shouldn't have.

The moment Shokaku walked in, Xia Bai knew that something was going to go wrong, and it had nothing to do with whether Kaga was there with him or not.

Quickly turning off the game console, Xia Bai winked at Kaga, stood up, walked in front of Shokaku, and said in a calm voice, "Shokaku, you came a little late today. I'm starving."

Anyway, Shokaku came for two reasons: either to invite me to dinner, or because of the commotion just now. I'll see if I can fool him first.

Ignoring Xia Bai's words, Shokaku raised his right arm and pointed at Kaga and said, "Commander, what is that?"

Unlike her usual gentle and soft tone, Shokaku's voice was filled with coldness at this moment, as if the temperature of the entire room began to drop because of her words.

Hearing this, Xia Bai turned to look at Kaga, and suddenly he felt as if he had a terrifying fear and his hands and feet turned cold.

Kaga acted as if he didn't notice Xia Bai's wink, and kept greeting Shokaku with his conspicuous ring on his face.

Kaga would not hide the Ring of Promise after getting it. Good things should be shown off. Shokaku was her first victim. Looking at the distraught expression of this Fifth Carrier, she felt extremely happy.

Well, looking at Shokaku's expression, I guess he can't keep the remaining ring either. It doesn't matter who he gives it to, Shokaku deserves this ring of promise.

While the other party was still silent, Xia Bai took out the oath ring and placed it in Xianghe's hand, whispering: "The ring was originally intended for you... This is the last one, and Akagi doesn't have it either, so take it and don't tell anyone."

After saying this, he looked around like a thief, afraid that Akagi would suddenly appear.

It has to be said that a woman's mood is as changeable as the weather. Perhaps it was because Xia Bai acted quickly enough, or perhaps it was because he heard Akagi didn't say anything, the expression on Shokaku's face changed immediately.

Surprise, happiness, joy... Such mental fluctuations continued to emanate from her body. She carefully picked up the Ring of Oath and looked at it carefully. She said softly, "Commander, put it on me."

It's really unheard of to wear wedding rings for two different people in one day. I am such a sinful man. Lamenting the hardships of life, Xia Bai skillfully held Xianghe's white and tender little hand and put the ring on her slender ring finger.

I have to say, this feeling is still very wonderful. Shokaku's hands are smaller and fleshier than Kaga's, while Kaga's hands are just the opposite, with ten slender, cold and bony fingers.

Evaluating the difference between the two people's hands in his heart, Xia Bai reminded again: "Remember to take it off later... Don't make a sound, if Chicheng snatches it from you, I can't do anything about it."

With a smile on her face, Shokaku nodded obediently, indicating that she understood, but who knows what she really thinks in her heart.

Having a ring and not showing it off is like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes. Can Cricket Akagi also snatch her ring?

Chapter 16 Attack Speed ​​and Critical Hit

Xia Bai had no idea what Xianghe was thinking. He let out a long sigh when he saw the other party agreed. He also didn't know why the Ring of Promise was so expensive that he didn't dare to give it openly and had to do it secretly.

After looking at the ring on his upper hand several times, Shokaku carefully took it off and put it in his pocket. He put his hands on his chest and said with a smile: "Actually, Commander, you don't have to give it to me so early. It's not bad to give it to Akagi-senpai first."

After hearing this, Xia Bai suddenly felt that Shokaku was being a little bit pretentious, but in a very cute way. Kaga pursed his lips, looking as if he had eaten a fly.

Typical of a man who takes advantage of others and still acts ungratefully. Why didn't he tell you when he didn't give it to you? The Ring of Covenant has a binding function. Once you put it on, it belongs to you.

Kaga really didn't care who the oath ring belonged to, but when he saw that Xia Bai gave it to Shokaku, he felt sorry for his sister.

She believed that whoever asked Xia Bai for the ring would be able to get it. Akagi's luck was indeed not very good, as Shokaku got it first.

Moreover, the First Air Fleet knew very well what kind of person Shokaku was, and Kaga had seen all the sarcasm and ridicule that the other party usually made towards Akagi.

I guess my sister will be crazy for several days.

Sighing, Kaga lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and began to wonder when the person he called would arrive and why he took so long to arrive.

At the door, Xia Bai was talking to Shokaku about the impact of the Ring of Oath on his abilities, and also mentioned Akagi's plan.

However, just as he expected, Shokaku was not optimistic about the establishment of the Red Axis and believed that this behavior was too radical. If anything went wrong, the world would be in chaos.

"It's really hard to imagine colluding with the Sirens. Even if the Purifier has a close relationship with Stelhencus and the Commander, what about other Sirens... For example, Tempalans."

This is the reason why Xia Bai did not agree to Akagi's plan on the spot. He is a selfish person and he doesn't care whether the world is in chaos or not.

But, at least before he gets the truth, his position is that of the Siren's mortal enemy, and this will not change.

"I don't have the same plan as hers. We should seek common ground while reserving differences. Maybe you can come up with a better solution if you discuss it more."

Seeing that Xianghe wanted to say something, Xia Bai forcibly pulled her into the house and pressed her on a chair: "Don't talk about this, let's eat first...you can talk to her yourself when the meeting starts."

Nodding, Xianghe understood that Xia Bai didn't want to talk about this now, so he took out the food he had cooked from the ship's space.

At the same time, he turned to look at Kaga and asked with a smile on his face: "Senior Kaga, have you had dinner? If you don't mind, you can come and eat with us. I made extra."

Originally Kaga wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Shokaku's smiling face, he suddenly remembered something, so he left the comfortable big bed and sat on the stool barefoot.

He said with a cold expression: "Then let me see the skills of the younger generation of the Fifth Air Force."

The smile on his face grew wider and Shokaku waved gently.

"please."

The two of them seemed to be having a good time together. To be honest, Shokaku usually only targeted Akagi and was not very hostile to other people, and Kaga had never explicitly expressed that he hated Shokaku.

It would be best if his own ship girls could live in harmony, so that Xia Bai doesn't have to worry about it. He is also happy to see such a harmonious scene.

The three of them finished their dinner quickly. After they had enough food and drink, Xia Bai took out some clothes to change into and said to the two of them, "I'm going to take a shower and soak in the hot springs. Would anyone like to join me?"

Since they are already an old married couple, he has no shame in extending an invitation to a hot spring.

But the result was unexpected. Kaga and Shokaku looked at each other and rejected him one after another. He still thought that someone would come.

Although he was rejected, Xia Bai did not force it. He hummed a song and left the bedroom in a happy mood.

After he left for a while, Shokaku put the tableware back into the ship's space and asked hesitantly, "What did Kaga-senpai mean just now? Is there anything you can't say to the commander?"

She really wanted to go to the hot spring with Xia Bai and spend some time together, but Kaga kept making gestures to her secretly during the meal, so she gave up the opportunity and stayed.

Taking a sip of the hot tea, Kaga said calmly, "I have a plan for the commander, I wonder if Shokaku is interested."

"Targeting the commander? I'm sorry I can't accept that..."

"Don't be anxious. It's not too late to answer after you listen." Interrupting Shokaku's words, the white fox showed an unfathomable smile, and then whispered something in Shokaku's ear.

Xianghe's fair little face quickly turned red, tender and juicy, as tempting as a ripe apple.

Lowering her head, she said in a rather embarrassed voice: "This is not good, it's a bit too embarrassing."

"Not so good? Haha, the Shokaku I know is not like that." Kaga chuckled and continued, "Have you ever beaten him?"

Recalling the pink memories, Shokaku covered his face and shook his head.

"Never...never won once."

After getting the answer, Kaga felt relieved. It seemed that she was not the only one who was embarrassed. Then she tempted, "Looking at his arrogant and complacent expression every time he wins, don't you feel unwilling? Don't you want to see him begging for mercy..."

The continuous questions kept knocking at Shokaku's psychological defenses, but as a reserved woman, she still gritted her teeth and did not respond.

"I've already notified Taiho and asked her to sneak out. As long as you, Shokaku, join us, we'll be three against one tonight, and our chances of winning are very high."

"It's time to let him know the power of our Sakura Empire fleet girls."

Originally, Shokaku didn't want to get involved in such things. After all, she was a gentle and considerate wife. However, after being persuaded by Kaga, all she could think of was Xia Bai crying and begging for mercy.

Inappropriate thoughts arose in his mind, and he nodded slowly in a trance.

Seeing this, Kaga was very satisfied. With Shokaku joining her, the day when she could turn over and sit as the master was not far away. She pretended to be weak to conserve her strength just for now.

All that was left was to wait for Taiho to arrive. Thinking of this, Kaga asked, "Should we take turns or go all together?"

After making the decision, Shokaku was no longer so shy and quickly replied, "Let's attack together. If we take turns, we will only be defeated one by one."

"Is that so..." Kaga said softly, lost in thought. She had the least experience, so she needed more guidance from Shokaku and Taiho in terms of tactics.

"So what is his fatal weakness? If we don't win this time, we won't have the same chance next time."

"Weakness?" After thinking for a moment, Shokaku pointed at his leg.

"Have you ever worn this thing? I heard from Dafeng that it increases attack speed and critical hits. If you don't have it, go home and get a few."

Chapter 17 Ring, my ring!

“Does this really work…?”

Looking in the full-length mirror, Kaga always felt uncomfortable, as if there were unnecessary restraints on her legs. She bent down and pulled up the cuffs of her long white stockings, outlining the beautiful flesh marks.

She didn't like the feel of nylon and didn't usually dress up, so she felt a little uncomfortable wearing it for the first time.

Seeing that Kaga was feeling a little uncomfortable, Shokaku consoled him, "This is necessary to defeat the commander, Kaga-senpai, you just have to get used to it."

"It's nothing about a habit...but the things he likes are really weird." Supporting his chin, Kaga expressed his confusion about Xia Bai's XP.

Hearing this, Xianghe smiled dryly and did not explain. After all, everyone has their own little quirks, and it's not something shameful. It's just that Xia Bai's quirks are a little weird compared to most people.

A man will die for his best friend, and a woman will dress up for the one who pleases her.

Since Xia Bai likes it, what's wrong with wearing it for him to see? Does the little romance between husband and wife need outsiders to meddle in it?

"By the way, didn't Kaga-senpai say that Taiho was coming? Normally, she should have arrived a long time ago."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Kaga hugged his chest and glanced at Shokaku: "I don't know, maybe he was caught by his sister, or maybe he managed to get past the guards and escape..."

"What's wrong? Are you scared without Dafeng? Do you want to escape?"

"I'm just curious why she hasn't arrived yet. After all, we've got our things and finished our shower..."

After hearing what Shokaku said, Kaga also felt that something was wrong. According to Taiho's personality, it was indeed strange that she didn't arrive so late.

This guy was not put in solitary confinement for the first time. After defeating Qian Gong, he was locked up by the angry Shokaku and Akagi for drugging Xia Bai.

After she was released after a few days, I thought she would repent, but she continued to do as she pleased and even packed up her things and came to live with Xia Bai.

But later Xia Bai reported that his clothes were often missing and he had nothing to wear. After investigation, he finally found the stolen goods in Dafeng's bedroom.

This move completely angered the other ship girls. Not only was she shameless enough to move in together, but she also secretly collected the commander's clothes. So Taihou was locked up again just a few days after being released.

Naturally, Daiho would not give up and would often escape from prison, so Kaga was specially arranged to look after her.

Therefore, it was unreasonable for Taihou not to arrive so late. Kaga guessed that she probably ran out and bumped into someone she shouldn't have bumped into, such as Akagi, and then was caught.

Just as she was hesitating whether she should go and pick up Dafeng in person, hurried footsteps were heard on the floor. Dafeng rushed in and closed the door skillfully.

"It's been a long time. I thought you wouldn't come... why are you here just now?" When Kaga found that Daihou had finally arrived, he had no intention of welcoming her. He just sat on the ground and asked.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Da Feng took a long breath and said, "What Da Feng is going to say... Huhuhuhu, don't be afraid."

Smacking his lips, Kaga replied: "We are shipgirls, we won't be afraid, just tell me."

"Just now there was an explosion in Akashi... Akagi-senpai rushed over, so Taiho arrived a little late."

"..."

After hearing what Daihou said, the two looked at each other and finally decided not to ask any more questions. It was impossible to ask them to help. Anyway, as long as Akashi was not dead, it would be fine. They could also delay Akagi so that she would not have time to attack at night.

And no matter how you look at it, this situation is related to Shokaku wearing the Ring of Promise. In order to avoid causing trouble, they should pretend that they know nothing.

Seeing that Kaga and Shokaku were silent, Taiho glanced around the room and asked, "Where is the commander-sama? Why can't Taiho see him?"

"He's in the warm water..." Before he could finish his words, Kaga noticed that Daiho's breathing became rapid, and it seemed that she was about to turn around and look for Xia Bai.

Kaga quickly grabbed Taiho and said coldly, "Don't worry. I didn't let you out today to eat alone."

At the same time, she winked at Shokaku. Shokaku, who was very thoughtful, understood what she was saying. He stepped forward and held down Taiho from the other side, saying with a smile, "Senior Kaga is right. If you go to Wentang to find the commander now, your plan will be exposed."
