Commander, you smell so good.

"Is it really impossible? If I ask Akagi..."

"With your status, it's no problem. Since you've asked me to do so, I can't pretend I didn't hear you. I'll go and tell you."

Seeing Jiang Zheng so determined, Agano sighed and thought that it seemed that he had to go back after all, and it would be difficult for him to try to stay.

Poor sister of mine, the love we had just been having for a short time ended just like that, so pitiful.

However, although he thought so, Agano naturally would not say it out loud.

"Jiang Zheng-san, since you've decided this, I'll go down and ask around. Senior Akagi left this morning and will only be here this afternoon."

"Sorry to trouble you, Agano."

It would be a lie to say that I am not grateful for the help of this beautiful Japanese woman in front of me, but I am also worried about my own ship girls. After all, reporting safety is a very important matter.

Since it had been agreed upon, she naturally wouldn't continue to talk about this matter, but would start by talking about something else interesting. Although Agano and the others had only been awakened for a few months, she had basically learned about some of the things she had seen and heard and interesting things.

The more we get along, the more I feel that Agano has a lot of experience. It turns out that stereotypes are always stereotypes. You need to gradually understand them before you can know the difference.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

"The three-color dumplings are here~"

After a brisk knock on the door, with a drawn-out aftertaste, Jiu Niang slowly opened the door. Seeing through the gap that the atmosphere inside was normal, he pushed it open with a smile, took out a plate of snacks he had just prepared, and placed it on the table.

Don’t ask why you continue to eat snacks shortly after breakfast. If you ask, it’s because you are greedy.

"This is a dumpling I made specially for you, Sake Nio. Come and try it! It's sure to taste good!"

He patted his chest. His breasts, which were still in the developmental stage, were surging like jelly. It was a pity that they had not yet become complete, but this did not prevent Jiu Niang from giving a 100% guarantee.

Meeting the girl's sparkling eyes and looking at her with expectation, Jiang Zheng accepted the girl's kindness and picked up a bunch of pink, white and green dumplings, which were crystal clear and soft in color. He slowly put them into his mouth and chewed and savored them carefully.

"How is it? How is it? Jiu Niang's cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

The girl wanted to get the answer impatiently, but Jiang Zheng didn't give her a thumbs up until he finished eating.

“It tastes good, but it needs more!”

Chapter 283 Little Girl Fengxiang

"I'm sorry, I've already asked, but Akagi-sama and Kaga-sama are currently unavailable. I haven't seen them yet."

"But I still told Yura and the others about your existence, so I think we will receive an audience with Akagi-sama soon."

In the afternoon, Agano, who had gone there, came back and shook her head. She originally wanted to go into the castle tower to report, but she did not expect to see Akagi. Instead, she saw Kinu and Yura who were on duty. After asking, she felt a little sorry. Akagi was busy with work and had left long ago. If she needed to meet him, she needed to ask in advance.

"Oh, that's troublesome. Oh, I mean, I'm sorry, but you made this trip in vain."

He said this with a hint of disappointment, then after seeing the complicated expression on Agano's face, he explained that it wasn't that she was bad at her job.

Agano nodded and then shook her head. Then, under Jiang Zheng's puzzled gaze, she took out a red origami from her chest. The paper looked somewhat similar to a paper airplane. Then she slowly held it up in both hands and held it in front of him.

"No, there's no need to bother you. We're friends after all. Jiang Zheng-san, no, Jiang Zheng, although I didn't succeed in meeting with Akagi-sama, please take this origami. It was given to me by Yura."

Picking up the origami in her hand, Jiang Zheng took a careful look at it. He felt that it was more like a specially made talisman than origami. There were words and symbols written on it that he could not understand. But since she said so, he naturally had to take it carefully.

After not being able to see Akagi, Jiang Zheng had nothing to do but to move his body. After a day of rest, he was able to move around, but it was still a little difficult to run, and his thighs were still sore. This feeling could not be eliminated for a while.

And Sakuno also went out, saying that he was going to carry out daily training, so now there were only Jiang Zheng and Agano who was slowly making tea in the courtyard. After making tea, she picked up a book and read it carefully. After reading for a while, she looked at Jiang Zheng again. The smile on her face made Jiang Zheng think that Agano was thinking about something bad.

"Ah~, Jiang Zheng, if you look at me like that, huh~, do you have feelings for me?"

"I do have some ideas. Aren't you looking at me too?"

"Hmm~ By the way, since you can walk now, Jiang Zheng, do you want to go out for a walk?"

After thinking about it, Jiang Zheng found that he really had nothing to do. He couldn't contact his own ship girl, and Agano could only chat with him to pass the time. There was really nothing to do except looking at the scenery in the courtyard.

Seeing him nod, Agano got up and went to change her clothes. After about ten minutes, she finally changed her clothes.

Unlike the Japanese-style beauty with exposed shoulders and seductive body just now, Agano now changed into a sleeveless knitted sweater and a beige windbreaker, but she still wore the delicate black stockings and was still so seductive.

The big bow behind the ponytail was replaced with a small butterfly heart knot, which gave it a cute feminine look.

Seeing that he was staring at her intently, Agano showed a sly smile on her face and turned around towards him, her long clothes fluttering and her appearance charming.

Afterwards, she took a few steps forward and came in front of him, her bright eyes full of the desire for praise.

"You look great in this outfit, Agano. It feels like we're going on a date."

"Oh~, Jiang Zheng, you want to date me? You've only just met me and you're already thinking bad things about me?"

"Is there? No? Really?"

Seeing Jiang Zheng's conflicted expression of wanting to nod and shake his head at the same time, Agano smiled happily and showed a bullying smirk for the first time.

After all, the more we get along, the more we reveal. So I should take this opportunity to tell him that I am not a good person.

After joking, Agano was in some trouble. There were no clothes specially prepared for men in the Sakura Empire. After all, this area was a restricted area for humans, so it would be strange if there were any.

So Agano took Jiang Zheng's clothes from yesterday and quickly dried them, then changed him into his original handsome clothes. After taking off his neutral kimono, he immediately felt better.

She looked him up and down at his neat and clean appearance, nodded in approval, and pulled him to the entrance to go out for a walk.

Since this matter has already been told to Yura, there is no need to hide it. Let's quickly drag him out to show him off. This is the person that our own Noriyo has taken a fancy to!

After putting on high-heeled boots, Agano took his arm, closed the door, and started walking around. This was also the scenery outside the courtyard that Jiang Zheng saw.

It is not much different from the Japanese-style road section you imagine, except that this one in Noshiro is a larger courtyard, so it inevitably feels a bit cramped.

Walking on the road, Jiang Zheng looked around at the surrounding scenery. There were patches of woods in the distance and relatively scattered settlements nearby. It seemed that every ship girl had her own house, and most of the time, sisters lived together.

Outside the residential area, Jiang Zheng could see the plain commercial street and the ship girls lined up in groups, but there was a hint of worry between their brows, as if they were worried about something.

Further away, Jiang Zheng could see the numerous attics. Because they were independent and surrounded by the lake, they looked like a city in the water, magnificent, majestic and beautiful. Agano said that the flagship of the Sakura Empire, Akagi, was located in that enemy area.

Arriving at the park, Jiang Zheng could see many destroyers who looked like little girls playing, with carefree happiness on their faces. Accompanying them was a purple-haired ship girl who was full of tenderness and motherly likeness. With a maternal look on her face, she watched over and protected them.

However, Agano's behavior of taking Jiang Zheng away naturally attracted the attention of the ship girls, and along the way, many ship girls who saw humans for the first time had curiosity in their eyes, and there were also hostile and indifferent eyes. But in short, his appearance was like ringing a bell, which immediately attracted their attention.

"Look, now you're famous. Lord Akagi would come over here even if he didn't want to see you."

Agano naturally pulled Jiang Zheng to sit on the bench, with a hint of gloating on his face, which made Jiang Zheng feel helpless.

This Agano really needs to be taught a lesson.

While the two were talking, a purple-haired ship girl that Jiang Zheng had just met was slowly walking towards him with a kind and smiling face, and slowly bowed to him.

"I believe you are Lord Jiang Zheng, I am Feng Xiang, please give me your guidance."

Chapter 284 Fengxiang's Izakaya

Feng Xiang's contact was like a friendly signal, causing some cute little destroyers to actively contact him. A group of cute and well-behaved destroyers wore yellow preschool hats on their heads and played with Jiang Zheng in their babbling voices.

"Do you want some candy too? I can't give you mine, but I can give you this one."

"Hmm... looks like a big bad wolf."

"I'm not like the Big Bad Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf in the story eats people, Little Ruyue."

"Wuwuwu...don't eat me~"

He raised his hand and gently rubbed Ruyue's little ears. The timid Ruyue quickly covered her head with both hands, as if she was afraid that Jiang Zheng would turn into a big bad wolf and eat her the next moment. But after a while, she was no longer afraid. She stared at Jiang Zheng with her lilac eyes wide open, ignorant but cute.

Mutsuki was not as shy as Ruyue. Instead, she took the initiative to sit on Jiang Zheng's lap. She was very curious about him and showed her friendly side. She took out a packaged peach-flavored lollipop and stuffed it into his hand. She also put one in her mouth and chewed it gently.

It's not just the two of them, there are also Mizunoe and Miruzuki who are hugging his legs and blinking their eyes, so cute

Faced with the friendliness and intimacy of the little ship girl, Jiang Zheng accepted it for the time being and touched her head in gratitude, which made little Mutsuki smile happily, and also made many ship girls who had been paying attention to his behavior breathe a sigh of relief. In an instant, their caution began to gradually relax, at least they were not as nervous as before.

Feng Xiang looked at Jiang Zheng playing with Mutsuki and Ruzuki with a gentle smile. He had already known about his arrival. After all, it was Agano who told the story, and then Yura said it.

In the relatively small area of Sakura City, any disturbance will naturally spread quickly, not to mention the spread of information through tools such as mobile phones, which will naturally be even faster.

After playing with the little ship girls for a while, Longxiong took them back and glanced at Jiang Zheng before leaving.

For some reason, Longxiong felt that he had found his lord, just like a samurai found the person he was worth being loyal to. His pair of blue eyes flashed with dazzling light, almost scaring away the little cuties of the Mutsuki class.

Seeing those little cuties leave just like that, Jiang Zheng felt as if he had lost his soul. He felt as if he had lost something important. Is this awakening?

Seeing that Jiang Zheng was in a low mood, Agano naturally would not miss the opportunity to tease him.

"Oh my~, Commander, look at your expression right now. Mutsuki-chan and the others have already gone back. If you keep acting like this, they'll think you're a lolita con~ No, judging by Mutsuki-chan's size, they're more like little girls. That's a crime~"

"They've gone back to class. Do you need me to tell you where the school is?"

Slightly malicious words rang in his ears. Jiang Zheng glanced at Agano silently, turned his head away and said nothing.

Yakamasi! You stinky woman.

"No, class? Aren't you Kanmusu? Why do you still need to attend class?"

Jiang Zheng suddenly felt something was wrong. Did the shipgirls need to go to class? Shouldn't they understand everything at a glance? They didn't need it, right?

"That's not the case, Lord Jiang Zheng. Shipgirls are also creatures that need to learn to grow. Even if it's weapons, they should learn."

"But Lord Jiang Zheng, how are you staying in Chongying? Oh, I have an izakaya near here. Would you like to try it?"

Feng Xiang said with a smile. To her, no matter whether he was a guest or came for some reason, his existence was no different from that of the children.

Izakaya is a traditional tavern in Sakura City. It is a restaurant that serves alcohol and food. It is said that it was originally started by liquor store owners who provided some simple dishes so that customers could drink the liquor immediately after buying it. However, as time went by, Izakaya gradually became a culture.

Unlike the izakaya that Jiang Zheng had imagined could only accommodate about ten people, the izakaya that Feng Xiang brought him to was actually quite large, able to accommodate nearly thirty people. The reason why it looked a bit cramped after entering was actually because it had space for partitions, which made the partitions appear larger.

Originally, Feng Xiang wanted to take him to the big private room, but in order to experience the authentic flavor of an izakaya, Jiang Zheng and Agano sat on the benches on the floor, facing the kitchen. As long as Feng Xiang prepared the food, they naturally didn't need to carry it to the private room, and they could enjoy the food quickly.

"Sir, I'm glad you came to my izakaya for the first time. I hope you will have a good time in the coming time."

"Of course, it's your izakaya after all, Feng Xiang, so it's up to you to arrange it."

Feng Xiang was surprised and delighted that Jiang Zheng knew his name. After a slight bow, he began to prepare roasted bird food in the kitchen as usual. Looking at Feng Xiang's back, Jiang Zheng felt a familiar taste, but he couldn't tell what it was.

But then a gust of fragrant wind caught Jiang Zheng's attention. He turned around and saw a ship girl with long black hair and a pair of red horns on her forehead. She was holding a katana in her hand, wearing JK clothes, and her face looked well-behaved and sensible to the naked eye.

The moment she met Jiang Zheng's gaze, her eyes flashed, and the next moment she showed a polite and shy smile, and quickly walked into the kitchen to help Feng Xiang. The two of them cooperated with each other like mother and daughter, with a tacit understanding that others rarely had.

"Jiang Zheng~, does that girl really like your gaze? She's practically staring at you. How does it compare to Noshiro's?"

Agano naturally noticed that Jiang Zheng's eyes followed Suzuya's figure. Seeing that he was still staring at her with obsession, he couldn't help but remind him with a hint of anger in his tone and stopped looking at her.

Stop looking, stop looking. If you continue looking, she will get angry. What else can you look at? Not as good as your own sister.

If you really can't do it, you can just look at yourself. The purpose of dressing up is to make yourself look good and let him see you at the same time. But he is actually looking at other women.

It's really outrageous and infuriating.

Thinking of this, Agano's eyes gradually became resentful, just like the expression of seeing his brother-in-law cheating in front of him, with a bit of resentment and hostility, thinking about how to deal with him next.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

It is impossible to admit it, never in this lifetime. Jiang Zheng shifted his gaze to the side and looked at Agano.

Well, Agano is pretty too, so let’s watch her.

Jiang Zheng didn't stop looking until Feng Xiang brought the roasted bird.

The only things in this world that cannot be wasted are food and love.

Chapter 285 Qiu Zhen Meng in the Compartment (4k)

"Master Jiang Zheng, I wonder if this grilled bird skewers tastes to your liking?"

“Not bad, really good, the taste is great, I especially like the taste of the chicken wing basil rolls.”

As for the various meats offered by Fengxiang, although some of them are served in skewers, they taste great. I ate too much without realizing it.

In addition, with Agano and Fengxiang around, the atmosphere of this izakaya is so good that it makes people indulge in it even though they haven't drunk any alcohol.

"Since you like it, please eat more. Suzuya, could you please bring out the scallion chicken skewers? I'll get some wine."

Feng Xiang smiled happily when she received Jiang Zheng's praise. Compared to the big shot in her impression, the man in front of her was more like a young man who had just entered the society. In fact, he was still as defenseless as a child.

Suzuya in the kitchen responded, then secretly ate a small bunch. After all, the chef would not steal the food, so a small taste was still acceptable.

After tasting the skewers carefully, Agano pulled his sleeve, with another wicked smile on his face, and laughed in his ear.
