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

Dafeng twisted her body and tried to break free from the two men, but she found that her shoulders were being held down tightly, so she had to give up and gave up the idea of ​​running away.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed a ring on Kaga's fair finger, and she immediately became suspicious.

After all, Kaga never wears these jewels, and the ring is on the ring finger, which makes Taiho feel a little anxious, so she asked tentatively: "Senior Kaga, what are you wearing on your hand? Can you show it to Taiho?"

Retracting his hand from the other's shoulder, Kaga took off the ring, waved it in front of Taiho, and put it back on, saying nonchalantly, "It's just ordinary jewelry, nothing fancy."

Very good, a new victim has appeared. Just now, after Shokaku discovered the Ring of Promise, he immediately took it from Xia Bai, making showing off meaningless.

Now that Dafeng came to me on her own initiative, it was just the right time to make up for the regret just now.

"Is it really an ordinary jewelry? Why does Daiho feel like it's a ring of promise?" Daiho, who had not yet realized Kaga's sinister intentions, expressed her own judgment.

Ordinary jewelry, who is fooling? How can ordinary jewelry have crystals with such strong energy? Would you wear it on your ring finger?

Anyway, Dafeng didn't believe it. She had never eaten pork, but she had never seen a pig run. She was sure that this was the oath ring, but she didn't dare to guess where Kaga came from.

Shokaku on the side looked at Taihou with some pity. Why did she have to ask? Couldn't she just pretend she didn't see it? Why did she have to ask and get exposed?

While secretly feeling sorry for Taiho's situation, Shokaku also secretly put the Ring of Promise on his hand and kept changing the movements of his hands.

Seeing this, Kaga's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and continued: "It's just an ordinary oath ring, isn't it?"

"It's really annoying. They suddenly gave me this... Commander, you really know that I don't like jewelry."

With Shokaku's fake sighs, Taiho realized something was wrong no matter how dumb she was. She said in disbelief with trembling fingers, "Your rings... are the same one?"

"It's the same one..."

Hearing Kaga's serious words, Shokaku suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, waved his hands and added with a smile:

"Hehe... Not the same one, but given to us by the same commander."

"You all have rings, but where is Taiho's ring? This must be a test from the commander!"

Subconsciously, Dafeng thought that today was the day for distributing Xia Bai's oath rings. She ignored the expressions of the two people and searched around the room like a madman.

Chapter 18 Whoever finds it will own it

Seeing this, Shokaku and Kaga finally stopped trying to hold back their laughter, and crawled on the ground laughing wildly without caring about their image, nor did they try to stop each other.

Dafeng's train of thought was too simple. If the ring really came from her, why would they show off so happily?

"Haha, Taifeng, don't waste your time. The commander no longer has the Ring of Oath."

Looking back at the ridicule and teasing on Shokaku's face, Taihou immediately realized that the two men were showing off on purpose, but she ignored them and continued to search frantically in the bedroom.

Ring, ring...Dafeng now wants to see the beautiful and sparkling ring of promise appear in front of her.

She didn't believe that Xia Bai would not prepare a vow ring for her. Her love was so strong and unmatched, why did Kaga have it but she didn't?

As she continued to search, Taiho's expression became more aggrieved. There was nothing... Could it be that the Commander had really forgotten about her?

She stopped moving, and sat on the bed, crying silently, like a kitten abandoned by its owner. I felt even more sorry for her.

Seeing Taiho's distraught look, Shokaku stopped smiling. He suddenly felt that Taiho was a bit pitiful and wondered if he and Kaga had gone too far.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you will realize that if you didn't get the Ring of Promise, you would probably be just as sad. So, the sensitive Shokaku was about to go up and comfort Taiho, but was stopped by Kaga.

"What's worrying is not the lack of them, but the inequality of their distribution. Everyone wants the Ring of Oath, but the commander can only give out two. What can we do?"

"If you go up to comfort Dafeng now, she will think you are showing off. Wait until she calms down."

After hearing what Kaga said, Shokaku nodded slightly. It was indeed true. Now that he had the Ring of Oath, if he went up to comfort Taiho, the other party might hold a grudge against him.

And judging from Dafeng's personality, as long as Xia Bai promised her that she would recover soon, she would be left alone to be sad for a while.

Sure enough, just as Shokaku thought, after wiping her tears for a while, Daiho buried her head in the pillow and breathed deeply, looking very enjoyable.

Therefore, there is no need to care about her at all. This nymphomaniac does not deserve anyone's sympathy.

"Shashasha... Dafeng loves the Commander's smell~" Greedily sniffing the smell on the pillow, Dafeng suddenly found a bulge underneath that hurt her, so she reached down and felt around.

"Ah! Commander-sama will not forget Taiho after all!"

After discovering the ring of oath, Dafeng jumped up on the bed happily, and the "justice" on her chest surged, dazzling the eyes.

Seeing Daifeng startled, Kaga had no intention of paying attention to her, but when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the ring on Daifeng's hand, he became alert.

Why does this style look like the one the commander was going to give to Sheffield... Thinking of this, Kaga immediately said, "Wait, don't wear it!"

Then he pounced on Dafeng, who was about to put on the ring of promise, and locked her up.

"Shokaku, stop just staring and come help. Taiho can't wear this ring."

"Why can't Taiho wear it? Are you going to stop the commander from having feelings for Taiho?"

After hearing what Kaga said, Taiho struggled to break free and retorted: "Why can't I wear it? Are you going to stop the commander from feeling bad for Taiho?"

"This isn't for you, this is Sheffield... Shokaku, come here, I can't hold it anymore!"

Hearing this, Shokaku woke up from his dream and immediately walked to Kaga and helped her hold down Taiho. Although he didn't know what the extra ring of oath was about, since Kaga was so anxious, she must have her own reasons.

"The ring that Dafeng found belongs to Dafeng... Let it go!"

The ring of promise belongs to whoever sees it. Once put on, it binds the person and no one can snatch it away. Dafeng doesn't care about Sheffield or Xiefield, and keeps struggling to try to take the ring for herself.

"What you found is yours? How dare you say that... If I let you, Taihou, wear this ring today, it won't be the First Air Battle."

Seeing that Taihou was playing dumb, Kaga didn't hold back. He said that the ring should be taken in the first come first served manner. Bullying Sheffield was nothing, which really brought shame to Sakura Empire.

With Shokaku's help, she also freed up one hand to hold Daiho's clenched fingers, trying to take the ring out of the other's palm.

Finding that she was no match for Kaga and Shokaku, and that her ring was about to be taken away, Taiho changed her strategy and said pitifully: "Don't take Taiho's ring..."

"You all have the Ring of Oath, Taihou wants it too... Just give it to me since we are all comrades of the Sakura Empire."

Unfortunately, begging for mercy did not change Kaga's mind. She cruelly broke Taiho's finger, kept the ring well, and said coldly: "You are almost bringing shame to the ship girls of the Sakura Empire. Taiho, can you be more reserved?"

"If you want the oath ring, go ask the commander yourself. Don't embarrass yourself. Are you ashamed?"

"Besides, you don't want to make the commander angry, right?"

She said this for Dafeng's own good. Anyone with a little common sense would know how important Sheffield is in Xia Bai's heart.

Take Shokaku for example. She has been getting bolder and bolder recently. She used to only provoke Akagi secretly, but now she does it openly. This is because there are people backing her up. If Akagi wants to take action, she has to get past Xia Bai first.

Although they are all his ship girls, they also have deep feelings for each other. Xia Bai always takes sides. It was obvious that Shokaku was the one who provoked Akagi first, but in the end both sides apologized to each other, which made the red fox very angry.

What do you call this? This is called being fearless because of being favored.

But even though Shokaku considered herself the principal wife, she never provoked Sheffield because she knew his position in Xia Bai's heart.

Otherwise, why must the first oath ring be given to Sheffield instead of to others? The gap is obvious at a glance.

Everyone wants to occupy the most important position in the commander's heart, but there is no way around it. After all, the royal family was the first to get to know Xia Bai.

"Well...then Dafeng won't take the ring." Seeing that Kaga had already snatched the Ring of Promise and moved Xia Bai out, Dafeng had no choice but to give up.

It's good to get the ring of promise, but she can't accept it if Xia Bai gets angry because of it. Giving everything is Dafeng's guide to love.

"That's good to know. Don't worry. You will have the ring. Do you think he will refuse to give it to you if you ask him for it?"

It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist. Kaga has already got it anyway. After saying a few words, he let go of Taihou and then changed the subject to discuss the tactics of how to make Xia Bai admit defeat tonight.

Xia Bai had just finished his hot spring bath and was about to return to his bedroom to rest, completely unaware of what kind of 'surprise' was waiting for him that night.

Chapter 19: 'Justice' Three on One

Xia Bai walked briskly on the wooden floor. He wiped the hot sweat from his head with a towel and walked in the corridor back to his room with a refreshed mood.

It was really nice to take a hot spring bath. He had to give a thumbs up to Akashi, who renovated the mansion. After taking a bath, he felt that all the tiredness and fatigue of the day had disappeared.

Thinking that he would be able to fall asleep holding Kaga's soft, cool body, Xia Bai couldn't help but speed up a bit.

In such hot weather, it is so comfortable to sleep with Kaga in my arms. Although it is not as powerful as air conditioning, it can definitely relieve heat.

Thinking happily, Xia Bai pushed open the door and said loudly: "I'm back from taking a shower... Um, why are you all here?"

It would be fine if Shokaku hadn’t left yet, but why was Daiho here too? Shouldn’t she be locked up?

At this moment, Xia Bai was very confused, especially when he saw the way the three people looked at him - eyes that seemed to wish they could skin and bone him and swallow him.

This made Xia Bai feel that the situation was not good. His intuition was warning him frantically that if he didn't run away, someone would die tonight.

So, after saying hello to the three of them, Xia Bai wanted to escape. This was no joke. Looking at the white stockings wrapped around Kagami's legs, it was obvious that the three of them came prepared. Xia Bai never fought a battle without confidence.

But Shokaku had already anticipated this. As the ship girl who knew Xia Bai's character best in the Sakura Empire, she knew what the other party's every move, including a look, meant.

Therefore, she had prepared a tight net while Xia Bai was taking a hot spring bath. Now that he had arrived, it was time to close the net.

At Shokaku's command, Kaga and Daiho, still eyeing him hungrily, stepped forward quickly and caught Xia Bai as he turned around.

"Commander~Where are you going...Hehehe."

"At this point, do you still think you can escape?"

"..."

The two completely different tones of passionate and charming voice made Xia Bai turn his head stiffly. He stammered, "I... I suddenly remembered that I have... something to do. You guys go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."

"The night is long, may Xiu Yan be well... Hehe~ Commander, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Hearing the gentle and calm voice from Shokaku, Xia Bai became even more certain that he could not stay tonight. His Japanese over-the-knee cloth socks were replaced with white silk garter stockings, which was obviously a threat to his life.

"I really have something urgent, it's extremely urgent. How about we do it another day?" Xia Bai begged for mercy with a smile that was uglier than crying.

Before Shokaku could say anything, Kaga raised his eyebrows and said fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense. Weren't you very capable in the afternoon? Why are you so cowardly now?"

"Elbow! Come into the house with me." After saying that, Kaga ignored Xia Bai's resistance and cooperated with Dafeng to drag him into the house.

'Pa-ta--'

The door was slammed shut.

-------------------------

The next day.

Xia Bai tiptoed out of the room so as not to disturb the sleeping ship girl on the bed, closed the door gently, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then stretched his muscles in the courtyard.

What a joke, with just these few people, they want to defeat him. They are overestimating themselves. Have they never seen a steel robot? If this is all the aircraft carriers of Sakura Empire have, then he can say that he is not afraid of ten more.

Especially Kaga, who was shouting wildly at the beginning, saying that he would not be spared, but the first to be defeated was this First Air Force captain.

In the second half of the battle, this arrogant big fox could only curl up into a ball, babbling and unable to utter a single word. It was really ridiculous.

By the way, it was Shokaku who was defeated in the end, and the boastful Taiho was just like that, unable to withstand a single blow.

After finishing the activities in the courtyard, Xia Bai took his water cup and started jogging along the road of Chongying.

This is one of the things he must do every day. The purpose is naturally not just to exercise the body, but to sharpen his will.

Just think about it, if someone can work hard all night and still get up at five in the morning for a morning run, how amazing that person would be.

Anyway, Xia Bai is working hard in this direction, so even though he was a little tired, he still got up and went for a morning jog.

The salty and humid sea breeze was blowing, making the summer morning unexpectedly cool. The residential area of ​​Chongying was now gray, appearing peaceful and lonely.

Except for this lunatic like him, no one is willing to get up at six in the morning for a run. Even though the body structure of a ship girl is different from that of humans, no one would ask for trouble.

Laziness is the instinct of living things.

Comfort is the nature of living things.

"It's rare to find a man as self-disciplined as me."

Shamelessly boasting about himself, Xia Bai adjusted his breathing, trotted out of the residential area, and planned to circle around Chongzakura Island along the road.

When he gets home, he can read for a while and then have lunch. Then according to his training plan, he can rest for a while and then go to Kaohsiung to learn kendo until dinner time.

Then return along the same route, and after enjoying Shokaku's loving cooking, study the teaching materials to improve your abilities, play games for a while to supplement your mecha knowledge, and then enter the dream to meet Shinano.

In this way, a boring yet fulfilling day would pass, and Xia Bai would slowly improve himself day by day until Nagato's return.

"Ah~~~~~"

On the beach, Xia Bai put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted at the sea. After all, it was far away from the residential area and would not be considered a nuisance. He also vented the stress in his body.

All of this was seen by Kaohsiung, who was also out for a morning run.

Kaohsiung is a self-disciplined warrior. He goes to bed at nine and gets up at five every day. Before going to bed, he meditates in bed for half an hour and then drinks a glass of hot milk.

According to Atago, her sister is very normal, so normal that it is almost abnormal. People have seven emotions and six desires, and it is natural for ship girls to have these as well.

But Kaohsiung tried hard to suppress these emotions and avoid unnecessary fluctuations in her heart in order to achieve the state of calmness and composure. Perhaps this was the reason why she could jump up and cut off the floating weapons when other ship girls were helpless.

But the calm and peaceful state she tried to achieve was often shattered by others, one of whom was her unlearned sister, Atago.
