Chapter 434: Fox Spirit
Although it was getting late, it was already past 1:30 and approaching two in the morning. If they went back to the room to take a shower, it would probably be after two. If they continued to do something else, it would probably be after three. However, the two of them were in no hurry to go back. They walked slowly side by side in the corridor illuminated by the bright moonlight.
The nights at the end of September and approaching October have become quite cool. The chirping of insects that always sounded incessantly on midsummer nights is no longer heard, and the sound of the waves can no longer be heard. Apart from the sound of water flowing in the bamboo tubes used to add water and the occasional sound of bamboo tubes hitting bluestone, this Japanese residential area is exceptionally quiet late at night.
Akagi walked in front and led the way. She lived not far from the teahouse, but they had to go around. Suddenly she said, "The admiral has really changed."
Su Xia laughed and said, "Akagi is not sensitive. Do you realize that I have changed now?"
"I've known for a long time that the admiral has changed, but I only feel it now..." Akagi smiled, "Don't blame Akagi, just blame the admiral for staying in the American and British quarters every day. It's been almost two months since he returned to the naval base, and this is the first time he has come to play inside our Japanese residential area."
Su Xia hesitated for a moment. He had already left the sect. He said, "Isn't this here?"
"Yeah, it's here, that's enough." Akagi murmured.
Su Xia noticed that Chicheng's steps suddenly stopped and asked, "Chicheng, why don't you leave?"
"Well..." Akagi said, "Actually, Akagi has an unwelcome request, and I hope the admiral can agree to it."
"What is it?" Su Xia asked, "As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation."
"I hope the admiral can help me." Akagi said.
"No problem." Su Xia said, "So what does Akagi want me to do."
"Admiral, don't be impatient, just listen to me first." Akagi said.
"Okay." Su Xia responded and said nothing more, waiting quietly for Akagi to explain.
"You know I'm the big sister of the Japanese fleet, right?" Akagi said, "Although it's just an aircraft carrier. Logically speaking, both Nagato and Mutsu are more suitable to be the big sister of the Japanese fleet than me. After all, they have served as flagships of the Combined Fleet in history."
Su Xia said: "History is history, reality is reality."
"I know." Akagi said, "I just want to express my feelings occasionally."
"Um."
"No matter why, since I'm the big sister, I have to consider everyone's lives and live up to everyone's trust." Akagi bit her lip and said, "Admiral, you have no idea what the garrison was like when you were not there."
"I'd like to hear more about it." Su Xia said. He had been in the garrison for so long that he had naturally heard many people talk about the past. However, there were many things in the past that could not be told in such a short time. He didn't know what Akagi wanted to say and whether he had heard it.
"For a shipgirl, the admiral is the most important person, a spiritual harbor, a lighthouse, and a beacon." Akagi said, "The admiral didn't live in the garrison before, and he always came and left in a hurry. In this case, even if the garrison has the conditions to guarantee everyone what they want, without the admiral, I think everyone's life is like the walking dead."
" It's not that exaggerated." Su Xia said.
Akagi thought about it and tilted his head: "Maybe not that exaggerated, but it's not much different."
"Let me give you an example," Akagi said. "Everyone was chatting and laughing together, but suddenly they started talking about the admiral. The admiral hasn't been back to the tutelary fort for a week. Maybe he has forgotten about everyone. Suddenly, no one can laugh anymore, and no one is in the mood to chat anymore."
Su Xia was silent for a long time, and then said, "It will never happen again."
"Don't worry about it, Admiral." Akagi said, "The past is the past, the focus is on the future."
"Yes." Su Xia said, "The focus is on the future."
"That's what I wanted to say." Akagi stared at the beautiful courtyard outside the corridor. "The admiral is back, and we have a backbone. The admiral will play with everyone, play Silver Fairy, play Monopoly, play pillow fights... This is the first time I saw a group of children having so much fun and smiling so brightly."
"Seeing everyone so happy, I am also very happy. Making everyone happy is my responsibility as the big sister." Akagi looked at Su Xia and said, "What I want to say is that I hope the admiral can come often and play with everyone."
"It's no big deal." Su Xia said.
"Really?" Akagi said, "It's not once every two months."
"No..." I didn't know how to explain it just now. I didn't explain it, and I won't explain it now. Su Xia said, "As long as Chicheng calls, I will be there at your service."
Akagi said: "I don't want to see the admiral have to be summoned before he remembers us."
Su Xia hesitated for a moment. He was no longer the same person as before. No matter what he did, he would only be passive. Now he would take the initiative. He took the initiative to grab Akagi's hand and said, "I just said that I will come whenever Akagi calls. I didn't say that I will only come if Akagi calls."
Su Xia felt a little guilty. When he was holding hands with Akagi, he thought of Zuikaku and wanted to play with her.
While thinking about Zuikaku, he was holding hands with Akagi, and it seemed like he had a big problem.
Akagi didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he said, "I've said before that as the big sister of the Japanese faction, I must protect everyone from being bullied, safeguard everyone's interests, and protect the position of the Combined Fleet in the naval base. The pressure is really great... Now that I have an admiral, I feel much more relaxed."
"That's what I should do." Su Xia smiled, "Isn't that what an admiral does?"
"Yeah, isn't that what the admiral does..." Akagi muttered, "If Akagi encounters any problems, he can completely rely on the admiral."
"Yes. Akagi can completely rely on the admiral."
"Then..." Akagi hesitated.
"I don't know, Admiral." Akagi said, "Akagi seems very powerful, but it's just an act. She's just doing it against her will. As an aircraft carrier, not a battleship, she has never been confident that she can do the job of the big sister well. Although she is now the flagship of the aircraft carrier group, with the transformation of Enterprise and Yorktown, she feels more and pressure. She doesn't know when she will be surpassed by others."
"Compared to Reputation and Lexington, who will take care of the admiral, King George V and Victory, who will help the admiral make plans and deal with matters within the garrison and the headquarters of the ship girls, Akagi knows nothing about taking care of and working." Akagi continued.
"Even so, Akagi wants to be the big sister of the Japanese style, and feels a lot of pressure every day for this." Akagi held Su Xia's hand tightly, "The admiral said that, Akagi took it seriously, and will consult the admiral if you encounter any problems in the future?"
"Of course." Su Xia nodded.
"Then Akagi will rely on the admiral from now on." Akagi leaned on Su Xia's shoulder, "It feels so good to have the admiral."
Akagi spoke sincerely, but Su Xia couldn't see it. He felt a little proud and didn't think deeply about it. Is it really that easy for someone to be the head of one of the eight great families, who needs to rely on him, who was a corporate slave not long ago?
"As a ship girl, I can't help the admiral, but I need the admiral's help." Akagi suddenly raised her head, "Akagi can't do anything else, but I can still do something for the admiral."
"What?" Su Xia asked subconsciously.
"As a reward for the admiral's help, you can do whatever the admiral wants." Akagi drew circles on Su Xia's chest with his fingers. "I remember that the admiral seemed to like bandages very much, right?"
"Akagi is wearing a bandage tonight."
"besides."
"Yukata, kimono, shrine maiden uniform, kyudo uniform, loincloth, kosode with hakama from the Taisho era...anything that Akagi can do is fine."
Even Su Xia realized that this Akagi was a vixen.
So what.
Can you resist?
