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

"Avoid the important and focus on the trivial..."

"What did you say?"

TB realized that Xia Bai seemed to have heard his mumbling. In order to maintain his character, he shook his head and replied, "TB just said that he understood and wrote it down."

"If it is the commander's wish, I will do so." Pointing at Xia Bai's wrist, TB continued hesitantly, "If possible, I hope the commander can transmit me to the communication ring, so that TB can assist the commander anytime and anywhere."

"Transfer to the communication bracelet?" Xia Bai scratched his head after looking at TB on the light screen and then at his own bracelet.

"How do I do this? USB port?"

He thought TB's suggestion was not bad. After all, he couldn't keep RX-02 unfolded. He would retract it after Akashi finished his research. At that time, TB would probably be in a dormant state except when fighting.

Since RX-02 has its own chassis, Xia Bai must seriously consider the other party's feelings. This is why he asked TB whether there would be any problems if he shut down the system itself.

Seeing that Xia Bai had no suspicion, TB's mouth curled up slightly, but he soon regained his composure and said in an emotionless voice: "Commander, open the input permission of the communication ring and point it at the console."

Xia Bai did as he was told. He saw the light screen projected by the console flash a few times, and TB disappeared immediately. The entire cockpit fell into silence.

Shaking his wrist, Xia Bai asked curiously, "TB, are you there?"

The communication ring began to vibrate, and within a moment a shadow was projected.

"The communication ring has been successfully connected. Navigator TB is at the commander's service at any time."

Seeing the familiar figure reappear, Xia Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's good that you've entered. I didn't expect that you, as the artificial intelligence of RX-02, could connect to the ring made by Akashi."

"Now shut down the RX-02 system. It won't go into hibernation, right?"

"No, TB is currently operating based on the status of the communication ring. If the commander does not close the ring, TB will not go into hibernation."

"Please wait for a moment, Commander. TB will sort out the data in the communication ring... There may be a slight delay, which is normal."

After saying that, TB disappeared from the light screen again, and the communication ring issued a shrill alarm.

However, Xia Bai did not care. TB said it was a normal phenomenon anyway. He turned off the sound and ignored it. He jumped out of the cockpit and retrieved the RX-02.

Akashi was unconscious, and there was no point in leaving the mecha here. It also kept consuming his mental energy. Originally, he was the one maintaining Shinano's dream space.

It was nothing at first, but after a long time it was really a bit too much to bear. Now that he has taken back the RX-02, Xia Bai suddenly feels that the pressure on his spirit has disappeared, and he feels a lot more relaxed.

'I'll wait until Akashi wakes up and then send it to her.' Thinking this, Xia Bai quickly left the underground research institute.

His original purpose of this trip was just to see what problems the RX-02 had, but he gained a lot, which made Xia Bai feel that this trip was the right one.

Not only did I gain a detailed understanding of what happened last night, but I also gained an AI created independently by RX-02. The data that I originally planned to spend several hours to review was completed immediately with the help of TB, saving a lot of time.

However, Xia Bai really didn't know whether TB's birth was related to the Ring of Promise, or whether it was really the manifestation of RX-02's personality.

The reason why he trusted the other party so quickly was mainly because he knew his own mecha clearly. Although the RX-02 behaved in a strange way, it was still his own mecha after all.

There was no such thing as being hacked or tampered with. He had asked Akashi about this clearly. As the friend who was the best at this, Akashi's words were trustworthy.

Chapter 25 Are you worthy of being called "Old Driver"?

After returning to the ground, Xia Bai looked around and found that Shi Yu, who was supposed to be on guard, was nowhere to be seen and no one knew where he had gone to fish.

In fact, Xia Bai always felt that Akagi was too cautious. It was just an accidental explosion. Even if it was a little strange, it didn't need to be guarded. Not to mention that the RX-02 was taken back by himself, and even the last thing worth guarding was gone.

So he also took the trouble to look for Shi Yu and quickly went to Kaohsiung's residence. Since he saved a lot of time with TB's help, he should be able to practice a little longer today.

What is more surprising is that although Kaohsiung is a staunch supporter of the Changmen school, the courtyard where she lives is in the East District, not the West District.

This may be because the four sisters of the Kaohsiung class all live together, but Xia Bai estimates that it is because the four sisters belong to different factions.

The eldest sister Kaohsiung is from Nagato's side, the second sister Atago is neutral, and the third sister Maya is a bit of a chuunibho and doesn't care about anything.

The fourth sister, Toriumi, surprised Xia Bai the most. She looked gentle, lively and obedient to Kaohsiung, but it turned out that she was a member of the Akagi faction.

A family of four, each with their own unique skills and different standpoints, is truly amazing. However, the relationship between them was not affected by this, which made Xia Bai marvel.

Twenty minutes later.

Xia Bai came to Kaohsiung's yard in the hot sun, knocked on the door politely, and shouted, "I'm here to learn kendo, are you there, Kaohsiung?"

At this time, Kaohsiung and her friends usually practice in the indoor training ground, and according to Kaohsiung's requirements, the sound insulation here is very good. If you don't shout loudly, no one inside can hear you.

"Kaohsiung?"

'squeak----'

Soon, Atago opened the door and raised a finger to Xia Bai.

"Shh...keep your voice down. Sister Kaohsiung is resting. Xia Bai, please come in first."

Opening the door wide, Atago welcomed Xia Bai into the courtyard, but without saying anything to him, he just lay down on the rocking chair in the corridor.

After finding a random place to sit down, Xia Bai said, "You didn't train on time today?"

"What kind of training? Sister Kaohsiung finally came back this morning and stayed in her room to sleep. Who would take the initiative to sweat in such a hot day?"

"The tea is in the kitchen. You should know where it is. Please help yourself. I won't entertain you, sister." After saying that, she closed her eyes and rocked to the rhythm of the rocking chair.

Xia Bai was not surprised by Atago's behavior. She was just a lazy person and didn't know how to be polite at all.

Opening one eye and staring at Xia Bai, Atago stretched out comfortably and joked, "By the way, why did you come so early today...Aren't you going to accompany Shoukaku?"

"Just come over when you're done with your business. Besides, I'm not with Shoukaku every day."

"Hehe~ Who knows, even if you're not accompanying Shokaku, you're still accompanying one of the First Air Sen and Taiho."

"No, Atago, why did you use the word 'accompany'? Do I look like a gigolo in a nightclub?"

In response to Xia Bai's complaints, Atago covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, revealing a large area of ​​her fair skin.

"You can't be a gigolo in a nightclub. That kind of job requires you to be very good at coaxing women. If a gigolo club lets you be the top girl, it will probably go bankrupt in less than half a month."

Glancing at Atago's exposed snow-white skin, Xia Bai turned his head away with the thought of not looking at it inappropriately.

However, when Atago saw this action, she laughed even more happily and deliberately unbuttoned a few buttons on her collar to reveal the "Grand Canyon".

"Look, why don't you dare to look~ Can this guy be a gigolo... Hehe."

You think I'm a shy little virgin? You haven't seen the power of the 'beam cannon', right?

Thinking disdainfully in his heart, Xia Bai turned his head and looked Atago up and down, then said calmly: "The breasts are not exposed enough, and they are not big enough, so this is a bad review."

"There's a bit too much flesh on the belly, and although it's very astringent, considering the weather, it's a bit hot when I hold it, which is a minus point."

"Black stockings are barely okay, but I can't confirm the shape of your legs, Atago. The hip skirt is a plus, but that's all."

"To sum up, my evaluation is that it is not as good as Dafeng."

This comment choked Atago so much that she was speechless for a long time. She originally thought that Xia Bai looked innocent and gullible, so she planned to tease him, but she never expected that she would meet such a tough guy.

But Atago, who considered herself an 'old driver' of Sakura Empire, would not give in easily. She slowly took off the garter stocking on her right leg, raised her curvy legs high, and her snow-white feet swayed slightly.

He ran his index finger along her ankle to the base of her thigh, and said in a seductive voice, "Now, how is my figure, sister?"

"Although the thighs are plump and full, there is a bit too much flesh... The calf curve is very good, judging by the golden ratio, the feet are delicate, small and white, but the shape is not perfect. I can only give it 8.5 points at most."

"..."

Hearing this, Atago began to doubt whether she had chosen the wrong opponent. She didn't really want Xia Bai to evaluate her figure. She must have been crazy to compare these things with Taihou.

He just wanted to see if the other party would make a fool of himself under his temptation, like looking up with a bulge, but he ended up losing confidence due to Xia Bai's serious evaluation.

The reason why she likes to tell dirty jokes is because of her own bad taste. Every time she tells a dirty joke, the shy expressions on the faces of other ship girls make Atago very happy. This is also her way of having fun in daily life.

However, evil people will be punished by evil people. Even though she was in trouble today, it was not unjust. After all, Xia Bai was extremely thick-skinned.

Looking back to the past, Xia Bai didn't dare to stare at Kewei when he saw her, but now every time he communicated with Kewei, he would say a lot of cheesy love words, which made the fat Miss Dinosaur very shy, and she would hang up the phone with a blushing face every time.

"Go back and practice more. You are still too weak now."

Seeing Atago speechless, Xia Bai said this, and then shook his head pretentiously, with a lonely expression of a master, who really deserved a beating.

The name of "Old Driver" of Sakura Empire does not live up to its reality and is just a false reputation.

Are you kidding? Xia Bai is a practical man with a lot of experience. How could Atago, a theorist, be his opponent? And dirty jokes can't be made casually. You never know who is teasing whom.

However, Xia Bai never expected that his ridicule completely aroused Atago's desire and interest in winning, and that Atago had a trick that could turn defeat into victory.

Standing up from the rocking chair, Atago quickly took off her white slim jacket, revealing her black lace bra, showing off her charming body. Her snow-white skin was even more dazzling under the sunlight.

"You win in the first part, but I don't accept it, sister."

In response to Atago's actions, Xia Bai sneered and said, "What if you don't accept it? Draw a line and let's fight."

Do you think taking off your clothes will make him give up? Atago is too naive. Only a shy child who knows nothing would cover his eyes and run away.

Promising young people of the new era like him can only stare at him with admiration.

Chapter 26: The Sakura Empire is full of perverts

Seeing Xia Bai's disdain for her, Atago was furious and gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll draw a line. Don't be afraid to accept it."

"Just do it, why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you think you are confident after taking off your clothes? How dare you, a naive girl, say such nonsense."

It's not that Xia Bai underestimated Atago, but the other party's performance of pretending to be an "old driver" and being speechless after being choked by him was far inferior to Taihou.

Da Feng is a real heavyweight. She is in heat all the time and anywhere, and what she says is hard to hear. The most important thing is that she always treats others as air and is not ashamed to say shocking things.

"A date?"

"Am I afraid of you... Wait, Atago, what did you say?" Xia Bai asked again, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"I asked you about it?"

After confirming that this was what Atago was talking about, Xia Bai cleared his throat and said seriously: "Thank you, sister, I won't make an appointment."

No matter whether Atago was joking or serious, Xia Bai would not agree to it just for the sake of a temporary victory or defeat. This is to be responsible for himself and the other party.

His current wife... Although he has a lot of KanColle, Xia Bai thinks it is better not to have a messy private life. Things like having sex are absolutely not allowed.

If you really need it, go find your lovely wife to solve it. This is the model of the commander of the new era.

Hearing this, Atago snorted coldly and crossed her arms, squeezing the giant cat a little closer, and said sarcastically: "You have the desire but not the courage. I thought you were so powerful, but you are afraid."

Xia Bai would naturally not be easily fooled by such a clumsy and childish provocation. He is a master of trash talk, and there is a famous saying that goes like this.

A mecha pilot who doesn't talk trash is not an ACE.

Xia Bai, on the other hand, regarded this famous saying as the Bible. He talked a lot of nonsense during battle and often taunted the Sirens, even though they might not understand him.

So when faced with Atago's provocation, he said calmly, "Yes, I am scared, very scared."

It’s better to lose the battle than the fight, Xia Bai thought about it and added.

"I'm afraid you can't handle my 'beam cannon' sister."

With her eyebrows raised high, Atago failed to provoke the other party and instead got angry herself. She took off her hip skirt and threw it on the rocking chair.

"Then I will compete with you."

Seeing Atago walking towards him in just her underwear, Xia Bai said the most cowardly words in the harshest tone.

"No, I'm only going to be one year old next month, please spare the child...it's illegal to date a minor."

The jade feet that were stepping on the wooden floor stopped, and Atago looked Xia Bai up and down and said in surprise: "You can still be called a year old next month in this state!?"

"Yes, brother, is it not okay for me to develop quickly?" After answering Atago's question, Xia Bai continued with a look as if he had little knowledge.

"Although the research on the Son of Prometheus took a long time, I will indeed be one year old next month starting from the time I woke up. Is there a problem with this?"

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Atago couldn't help but lick her cherry lips, her eyes shining, she continued to move closer to him, and her breathing became a little rapid.

A face that looks easy to deceive, young, strong, powerful... This is simply the man she dreams of.

The main reason is that Atago is a pervert who is obsessed with younger men. On the one hand, she hopes that her commander is younger, but on the other hand, she longs for her commander to have broad shoulders for her to lean on.

Let’s not talk about whether a mentally immature person can be a commander. After all, Atago simply wants someone to be young, but these two conditions are obviously contradictory. Where would a child have broad shoulders?

This condition is already very harsh, and Atago also requires her commander to be strong, at least the best among humans.

Of course, Atago knew very well that such a person did not exist, so she lowered her requirements to the point that as long as he was young, it would be fine. However, being young also meant that he was mentally immature and could not be a commander, and she also looked down on those childish kids.

She had originally given up the idea of ​​looking for the commander, but after hearing what Xia Bai said, she felt that Xia Bai's every point was based on her XP.

It was just talk at first, but now she is really ready to "compete" with Xia Bai.

"Hehe... Of course, that's no problem, Xia Bai~ But you already have Shokaku, and human laws can't control ship girls. How about letting your sister 'love' you for a while?"

Finding that Atago had already pressed against him and started to take off his clothes, Xia Bai took a few steps back and said in disbelief: "Atago, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. Come on~ have a 'communication' with your sister."

"I'm warning you, don't come over here again, or I'll send four or five aircraft carriers over to beat you up as soon as I make a call."
