Chapter 273: Testing each other's background, meeting from Akagi

"This is what Ayanami told me. I'm telling you everything, sister."

"What do you think?"

"Regarding Zhou Xuan, regarding this young man who suddenly appeared, what kind of existence do you think he is?"

Inside the main tent of the Akita Prefecture military camp, two thin figures, one in white and one in black, were standing opposite each other.

The black lady took the main seat, and she listened to the truthful report of another white figure with a slightly lazy look, and answered soon after.

"What kind of existence he is has nothing to do with me. What I really need to care about is his background."

"Is he really a traveler who strayed in by mistake, or a high-level spy sent by the enemy camp? I have to find out everything."

"If it's the latter, then you can't blame me for being ruthless. Cutting him into pieces...maybe that's the best outcome for him, hmm~"

We are born to be one. When the black figure finished speaking, I felt the joy welling up in my heart.

Behind her, nine orange-red tails began to move and spread out in all directions.

"I understand, sister. If you are interested in meeting him, I will go and summon him for you."

"But is your injury... serious? Do you need to wait for a few more days? Or can you ask Sister Tiancheng to help meet him?"

"The situation is urgent now. We must not force ourselves, and we must not be careless. We must be careful, Sister Akagi..."

Finally after hearing these words, Akagi, who had been lazily leaning on his chair, decided to straighten himself up.

No longer as indifferent as before, Akagi slowly moved his body, and even the tail behind him stopped swinging around and began to flow back and curled up into a ball.

All these situations are enough to show that she attaches great importance to the current situation.

But maybe it was just her nature, when the words came to her lips, they took many turns and turned into those frivolous and joking words, she said.

"Why bother with all this, Kaga?"

"Do you think that with my ability, I can't deal with a human being? You are underestimating me."

"Even if he does have other special abilities, so what? I'm not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone."

"Just because Musashi can hurt me and defeat me doesn't mean that others have the same ability."

"Just follow my orders. Don't worry about the rest. I know what to do."

"Also...please don't bother Sister Tiancheng."

"During the time when I was seriously injured, she had to take charge of the defense of two cities. The burden she had on her shoulders was heavy enough."

Things have come to this point, and Kaga has no reason to continue insisting.

She watched Akagi's upright body tremble slightly in the dark, sighed slightly, and then bowed and left.

Time flies and it is the next morning.

Carrying the important task entrusted by Kaga, Ayanami arrived outside Zhou Xuan's room early in the morning.

She knocked on the door gently and waited for a while before finally waiting for the moment when the door opened.

Pushing the door open sideways, Ayanami saw Zhou Xuan, who was looking sleepy, in front of her.

Even if she looked far away, she could still see the unknown lady with half of her shoulders exposed inside the quilt.

It was so erotic that the atmosphere on the field suddenly froze.

"Sorry, Brother Zhou Xuan, I forgot to tell you yesterday that in order to facilitate management, Lord Tiancheng has issued an order."

"Anyone staying in the camp as a guest during this period must follow the officers' and soldiers' schedule."

"And now... you have already wasted time."

When living under someone else's roof, everything will be done according to the arrangements of the master. There is nothing wrong with this, and Zhou Xuan should obey.

However, the feeling was different. Upon hearing this, the purger frowned and looked bitter.

As if he had suffered some great injustice, he didn't look at Ayanami, but just stared at Zhou Xuan, as if he was waiting for something.

Of course Zhou Xuan knew what she meant. She just wanted him to plead for her and say a few nice words to her so that she wouldn't get up early and could sleep a little longer.

From the beginning to now, Zhou Xuan has experienced a lot, and has roughly understood the innocent hearts of the Siren girls behind their vicious purposes.

But if we talk about the most carefree person, the Clearer is the first one.

Let’s not talk about how a Siren can sleep peacefully in the KanColle base.

Judging from the current situation, she still dares to place her hopes on him even though she has not yet gained his trust. I wonder how much she believes in his supernatural powers.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Zhou Xuan had no choice but to ignore her series of burning gazes behind him and learned about the new arrangements from Ayanami.

"You mean, Akagi wants to see me?"

Ayanami nodded.

"Yes, Lord Akagi specifically asked to see you, brother. I think it should be a small matter about identity verification, which will be done soon."

"I see."

This was the crucial moment he had been waiting for. Without any unnecessary nonsense, Zhou Xuan turned back into the room and tidied his appearance.

But when the Cleaner, who had been lying in bed and refusing to come out, heard the news that he was going to meet Akagi, he became anxious and came out all of a sudden.

He staggered and limped towards him, holding on to the table and other wooden furniture with both hands.

"Wait, Zhou Xuan! I'll go with you too, so I can have someone to look after you."

"Forget it. With your current status, it's good enough that you don't hold me back. You're still taking care of me. Just stay in your room obediently."

"Besides, they also said that I can go alone, and your name is not on the invitation list."

With his mouth blocked, the Clearer turned to look at Ayanami at the door, and seeing her nodding in agreement, his high spirits instantly turned into depression and he started to lose his temper.

"Okay, go ahead. I'm fine by myself. At least I can sleep a little longer, unlike you! Humph, you poor wretch who wakes up early!"

He's already acting like a child, what else can Zhou Xuan say?

After putting on a navy uniform that was totally out of place in the era and tying his tie, he turned around and tapped the Clearer on the forehead.

"Yes, yes, I am a pitiful creature. I am the most pitiful creature in the world. Lord Cleaner, please go back and rest. I will be back soon."

Zhou Xuan’s gentle voice was so close that it could be heard clearly.

She thought to herself, even though she was not taken with him, this proud young man in front of her was still trying to coax her with his twisted look.

Since the Lord is so magnanimous, she would reluctantly forgive Zhou Xuan this time.

So he stopped trying and the cleaner half-heartedly escorted Zhou Xuan out of the room.

A pair of beautiful eyes followed the gaze, until the two people walked away and completely disappeared from her sight, then she slowly withdrew her gaze and slowly closed the door.

Chapter 274: Chicheng and Zhou Xuan, the Fox and the Fairy

As a high-ranking official of the imperial court and a daimyo, although Akagi has a very strong aura, she can still distinguish right from wrong.

Therefore, as long as we tell the truth and don't add any lies, there won't be any major problems with today's meeting.

This was what Ayanami said, and it was a friendly reminder Ayanami gave him on the way here, and Zhou Xuan agreed with it deeply.

However, when he opened the door and walked in alone, the scene before him gave him a different feeling.

It is difficult to describe in words. I saw a person drinking alone. At this moment, Akagi, wearing a black and red shrine maiden costume, was kneeling in the position that belonged to the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

There was a feeling of a girl who had been waiting for a long time and was full of pouty. Just a glance up brought countless waves to Zhou Xuan.

Especially those natural fox eyes and the slightly embellished scarlet eye shadow, which made her look even more charming and alluring.

The first encounter between a daimyo and the commander of the combined fleet was a contest between the strong. No one was willing to speak, and no one wanted to be the first to lose.

Therefore, due to the secret competition between the two, the situation on the field became deadlocked.

Chicheng still poured tea and drank it alone. Zhou Xuan didn't say anything polite. After taking off his shoes, he walked in on his own.

He came to Akagi, picked up the teacup that had obviously been prepared from the beginning, and asked her for a cup of tea.

"You... do have the courage." After looking at him for a long time, Akagi suddenly said this.

Then, as he wished, she grabbed the handle of the teapot, tilted the spout, and helped him pour the tea.

It can be said that the first contest ended with Akagi's compromise, but the road is long and the real test is still ahead, she said.

"To be honest, you are one of the few people in recent years who can let me pour tea for you."

"Do you know what happened to them?"

"Most of them died, using their lives as compensation for me."

"Of course there are also those who have been caught, such as the one who is hiding in Kyoto Prefecture. Soon... her time will come too."

Let's just consider it as a warning to him.

When saying this, there was a sharp cold light flashing in Akagi's eyes, and the light was directed exactly at him, very clearly.

The only pity is that Zhou Xuan was not brought up to be scared. Based on his impressions, he also knows that there are not many people who can make Chicheng willing to pour tea for them.

Amagi, Nagato, Mikasa, Musashi... Apart from these, there are no others.

It was obvious that her threat was just empty talk and Zhou Xuan didn't take it seriously at all, his expression remained relaxed.

He slowly lifted the cup filled with tea, put it to his lips, and gently blew away the hot steam lingering above him with his lips, sipping the tea carefully.

"Good tea, Master Akagi's tea art is truly extraordinary!"

Looking at Zhou Xuan who was calm and composed in front of him, perhaps even Chicheng did not expect how she would turn this Hongmen Banquet to interrogate the other party's identity into this.

But the more she looked at the other person's calm demeanor, the more active her mind became, and she was filled with the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

"You are an expert. As expected, you are from Donghuang, right?"

"No wonder. From the moment I saw you, I had a feeling that we were both enemies and friends..."

"Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here and how did you get in? You should know that the coastal waters of Sakura Empire were blocked several years ago. What means did you use?"

"If I say that I really broke into this place by accident, will Lord Akagi believe me?"

"Hard to say."

Yes, it’s hard to say. Zhou Xuan himself is aware of this. In the current situation, it is difficult for him to explain the identity of the purger to Chicheng.

He had no way of guaranteeing that Akagi would not become murderous after hearing the name of Siren and thus prevent future troubles.

Therefore, he could only avoid the main issue and after briefly explaining his origins and background, he shifted the blame to other places.

"Don't you think this world is full of weirdness? I wonder if anything has flashed through your mind during those countless silent nights?"

"Have you ever seen anything like foxfire, spells, the sea, airplanes...all these seemingly mysterious and magical things?"

From Ayanami, Zhou Xuan learned that although they were warriors, they possessed a powerful force.

Later, after Zhou Xuan's request and Ayanami's demonstration, he finally confirmed that the so-called powerful force was the ship equipment.

Therefore, when explaining to Akagi, the fox fire and talismans mentioned above were not important, because even if they lost their memories and their common sense was tampered with, they could still use this power.

The real key lies in the blue sea and the sky full of carrier-based aircraft.

For them, that was the most glorious moment in their lives, no doubt about it.

It was obvious that what he said touched her heart. Akagi lowered her head, looked at her own reflection in the cup, and remained silent for a long time.

When the tea was rippling and the person in the cup was in disarray, Chicheng finally recalled his arrangements and began to think about Zhou Xuan's existence again.

When he raised his head again, the pair of scarlet eyes no longer had the cold glow, instead there was only endless curiosity.

"Of course I have. These have flashed through my mind more than once."

"The important thing is, how did you know? Don't tell me that you also have that power..."

It’s not entirely true to say that her thoughts are jumping around. At best, they are just a little whimsical. Zhou Xuan waved his hand and quickly tried to refuse.

"No, I'm just an ordinary human. I don't have the same powerful powers as you."

"Really? I heard from Ayanami that your ability is also not simple."

"It's easy to influence her mind, control her body, and even gain her trust in a few moves."

"The truth is incredible. At least so far, I have not seen any other human beings as special as you."

"Hey, Zhou Xuan, can you provide a stable output with your ability?"
