"Okay, then we've made an agreement, do you need me to make some written promises?"

"No, I believe in you. Rather than exchanging interests, I hope...we can talk to each other."

Written agreements and the like...are used to tear them up before things happen. They have no meaning at all. Only when everyone agrees with one thing from the bottom of their hearts can a real agreement be reached.

"Talk to each other?"

Leon's words made Nagato's face blush, but the blush disappeared in a flash, and only Nagato knew about it.

What does this heart-to-heart... mean?

Could it be like Akagi and the others! ?

"Yeah, why don't we start with the two of us? Since I was a child, I didn't have much entertainment. Normally, I read books to pass the time. I think you were reading just now. Why don't we communicate?"

"Well... this... this... is actually not a big deal book, so don't ask too much, it's an ancient book written by Sakura, and you can't understand it either."

Leon was a little puzzled by Nagato's hesitation when he spoke, even if it was an ancient book... Nagato wouldn't show such an embarrassing expression, right?

"Ah... that's right! If you like reading books, you can also go to Tiancheng Shentong and the others to ask them. There... there are many books that you can read."

What Leon doesn't know is that although Nagato reads ancient books, the content of the ancient books is also different, even if it is a novel written by the ancients... it is also an ancient book.

This is the kind of book that Nagato is reading now, to be precise... it's the kind of book that talks about love between ancient people.

"Supernatural powers...? But I don't know supernatural powers..."

He is already familiar with Tiancheng, but the supernatural power... I haven't met him yet, even though I know the other party, but...the other party doesn't know me?

"It's very simple. Wouldn't it be over if you take the initiative to get to know each other? After all...you have already said that you want everyone to unite, so...you should know and be familiar with Shige Sakura's ship girl something to do?"

"...Why do your words sound so strange? It always feels like the unfolding of some kind of game..."

"Come on, Leon, I am optimistic about you, if you need my help, feel free to mention it."

"Really? Any help?"

"Well, it's fine."

"Then... I want to have a further relationship with Nagato now... Nagato, can you promise me?"

"Huh!? This... this won't work! At least... at least first...first..."

Leon's words caused Nagato to fall into a panic. She faltered and wanted to say something, but when she looked up, Nagato saw Leon's smirk.

"Nagato, did you get it wrong? My point is that the two of us have become good friends~ You see, you have such a high status in Sakura, most people dare not be friends with you, right?"

"Huh!? You... What do you mean!?"

Listening to Leon's words, Nagato realized that he had lost his composure, coughed in embarrassment, and then Nagato smiled at Leon.

"For friends, in the dream, the moment we learned that you also wanted to save me, we were already friends."

"Oh~ that's the case, then it's my fault. I didn't take Nagato's feelings seriously. This is my problem. Speaking of which, when Nagato said those words just now, it should be because of a friend Is it about your status? Then...you acted so flustered just now...what is the reason?"

"I... I want you to take care of it! I... I just thought of something else, so don't think too much about it!"

Journey to Cherry Blossoms: Chapter 166 I, the Northern United, are important! (40)

"Okay, okay, I don't think too much about it, everyone has their own privacy, even me is no exception, then... let's settle this matter like this?"

Nagato's performance allowed Leon to confirm what he thought in his heart. Shige Sakura, who usually looks majestic and full of majesty, has such a cute appearance in private...

"Well... it's settled."

"Then why don't we pull a check, a liar will swallow a thousand needles~"

"Pull the hook...? Okay... okay."

Nagato did not expect that Leon would choose such a method to reach an agreement, but seeing the serious expression on the other party's face, Nagato nodded and agreed to him.

"This method was first proposed by Akagi. At that time, I promised her that one day I would come to Sakura to find her. I have fulfilled the agreement between me and her, and in the future... I will fulfill my promise."

"I see, I believe in you, and please... always believe in me."

With a slight advance in his body, Nagato stretched out his slender little finger towards Leon, and also stretched out his little finger, Leon and Nagato pulled the hook.

"Okay, in this way, this is a secret between the two of us. This matter... please keep it a secret for the time being. After all... most of Sakura's ship girls are not familiar with me. You are right, at least Let everyone know me so we can make this public.”

"I know, you don't have to worry about this matter...I have my own discretion, but you...Have you figured out how to contact other camps?"

"Not yet, let's take a step at a time. There is no suitable opportunity for me to contact other camps. Frederick has connections with those camps of the Sardinian Empire. You should also know about this."

"Well... I do know about this, after all... They are also part of the red axis, are you going to go to them next?"

"Maybe... these things have to be done after Frederick picks me up, but... I would like to contact some camps of Azur Lane..."

"Azur Lane?"

……

Joint Base North.

"...That's the way it is. From then on, the Northern Alliance will launch a retaliatory attack on the iron and blood from wherever we can imagine. This is a decision made by all members of the Northern Alliance. Even if we don't get everyone's support, we will did that."

In the huge conference room, the Soviet Union was giving an impassioned speech to the virtual screen in front of him. As soon as the words fell, a dissatisfied voice came from the projection.

"Wait...wait a minute! Don't act arbitrarily on such an important matter! Recently, sirens have appeared frequently. Even if they are iron-blooded, they should have no time to take care of other things. Even if they set up the red axis, we will There's no need to take the initiative!"

"Saratoga, I don't think the Northern Union has done anything wrong~ But... If you want to take revenge, shouldn't you choose a suitable day to start acting?"

Although she disagreed with Saratoga's words, Yat-sen did not express her approval. Hearing what the two said, the Soviet Union was not angry. On the contrary, everyone's reaction was exactly what she wanted.

"It's true, taking the initiative to attack is not a very good choice. If you really want to do this, then the Northern United...is no different from the original Iron Blood."

The ship's wife who spoke at this time was King George V of England, and she didn't really agree with the words of the Soviet Union.

"Naturally, we are not iron-blooded. We will take the matter of fighting the sirens seriously. However, retaliatory actions are necessary, especially for the iron-blooded fleet near the polar seas. This time, we must let them Know the might of the Northern Union."

"We have no objection to what the Northern United is going to do, but... I only hope that the affairs of our Iris Theocracy can be resolved by ourselves. I hope you... don't let the Red Axis launch similar retaliatory actions."

What Richelieu is most concerned about now is that her sister asked Barr and some ship girls brought out by the other party, and other things...she doesn't really care.

"Of course, these things...we have our own measure."

After finishing speaking, the Soviet Union actively hung up the video call, pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand and waved it on the virtual projection. Immediately afterwards, the Iron Blood logo appeared on the projection again.

"It seems... We should have reached a settlement between us."

Frederick's steady voice came out again, he took a deep breath, and then the Soviet Union slowly said to Frederick: "Your information...is indeed valuable, but...it is far from making up for what you have done before. things."

"Oh? This is a good opportunity to greatly enhance your strength~ In order to express my apologies, I can also provide you with some small help. As far as I know, during the recent period... your sirens near the polar seas should Is it slowly increasing? With your current strength... there should be no way to grasp it with both hands, right?"

Frederick's words made the alliance slightly frowned. After a while of silence, she spoke to Frederick again and said, "Your news channels are quite well-informed, but... Frederick, the current Sangvis... should also be planning What's the matter?"

"Sorry, I have nothing to say about this matter."

"No comment? But... I'm not interested in this matter, but... I do need your help. If you can promise me, the previous things... We can treat it as some unpleasant friction."

"Oh? So what help do you need?"

"Frederick Felix Leon, I need him to help us with your fleet, so... not only will I not care about what you are doing, I can even... help you put a Little smoke bombs."

After speaking, the conference room fell into a strange silence, which was expected by the Soviet Union. Immediately afterwards, she heard Frederick's frosty voice.

"Where did you... hear that name?"

"Like you, I also have my news channel. I think...you should think about it before telling me the answer?"

After speaking, the Soviet Union took the initiative to cut off the contact, sat on the chair, and the Soviet Union breathed a sigh of relief.

After so many years... She finally let down a stone that was suspended in her heart.

Glancing at another document on the table, the Soviet Union reached out and picked it up. Leon's name and portrait were being printed on this paper.

"The ability to repair ship equipment... This is really a magical power... If it's what Akashi said... Then I... really need to borrow this power..."

Journey to Cherry Blossoms: Chapter 167 Xianghe, who has been unusual recently

Leaving Nagato's house, Leon carried his bag and walked slowly towards Tiancheng's house.

Nagato has already discussed the matters on Nagato's side, but now he wants to discuss the ring with Akashi. Two rings are not enough, and now he needs to add two more.

After walking for a while, Leon saw Tiancheng's house not far away, but, a little further away, he accidentally found a sneaky figure.

That figure... seems to be Ruihe?

Ruihe's iconic costume immediately made Leon recognize her, and after pondering for a moment, Leon quickly walked behind Ruihe.

"Yo~ Ruihe, are you here to find Tiancheng?"

"Wow! Le... Leon? You scared me! Don't suddenly appear behind others like this!"

The sudden appearance of Leon startled Ruihe, he patted his chest with lingering fear, and then Ruihe stretched out his hand to grab Leon's arm.

"what?"

Rui He's sudden action made Leon a little puzzled. Looking at Leon with a puzzled expression, Rui He said slowly: "Speaking of...you don't have anything to do this afternoon, right?"

"Afternoon? If you need me urgently...then I really have nothing to do."

Leon originally wanted to talk to Akashi about the ring, but... Zuihe looked a little anxious.

"That's good. Since you are fine, go to my house and sit for a while."

"To your house...? Why?"

"Oh, no reason, you will know when you come."

Seeing Leon whimpering, Ruihe directly pulled him towards his home. Before he could react, Leon had already been dragged by Ruihe for a short distance.

"I said...you are looking for me...could it be because of your sister?"

"Huh? So you know? I thought you would choose to pretend to be stupid."

Leon's words stunned Ruihe for a moment, and then she said to Leon with a helpless expression: "Actually...Since what happened last time, Sister Xianghe has been a little abnormal."

"Not quite...?"

"Yes, we haven't had any sortie missions recently, so my sister and I have been staying at home, but...it's different from before. Now Sister Xianghe... always likes to hold her own flute daze."

Listening to Ruihe's words, Leon also fell into silence for a while, it seems... the things in the dream had a great impact...

After all, that kind of dream is so real, even Shinano before had a dreamlike feeling, let alone other ship girls now.

"Okay, I already understand the specific situation, but you... are you okay?"

"Me? I have no problem. At that time, I experienced relatively few things, and I didn't feel as many emotions as my sister. The only emotion I didn't experience... was the friendship with you."

Speaking of this, Ruihe smiled a little indifferently. Compared with himself... the current sister Xianghe has changed the most.

"Friendship..."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Leon raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky. Speaking of which, Ling Bo and Jiang Feng had also seen him at that time, so how do these ship girls... think of themselves? ?

"Yeah~ This is really a wonderful feeling. I subconsciously think that you are my friend now, but... I think we will definitely have such a relationship in the future."

He stretched out his hand and patted Leon's shoulder, and Xianghe smiled heartily at Leon. Her matter doesn't matter now, the key is...what is Miss Xianghe thinking in her heart, and Leon needs to help her solve this matter. happy knot.

"I also think, I think our personalities are pretty close. Leave Xianghe's matter to me, and I will try my best to enlighten her."

"Oh? That's what you said~ Then you have to behave well! If you behave well...we will definitely let you spend an unforgettable summer festival."

Seeing that Leon had already assured him, Ruihe felt relieved. After walking for a while, Leon finally arrived at the door of the two sisters' house.

"Hey, did you see that? Recently, Sister Xianghe has been sitting under that tree staring at her flute in a daze. Go alone, I won't go in, come on~"

Pointing to the place where Xianghe was sitting not far away, Ruihe pushed Leon in and took away the bag in Leon's hand. Ruihe gave Leon a thumbs up .

"Hey! Why did you take my bag away?"

"Oh, do you have any gifts in here, won't it be embarrassing to take them in? I'll keep them for you. I'll give them to you when you come out later. Go!"

Waving to Leon again, Ruihe left here on his own, watching Ruihe's leaving back, Leon sighed helplessly.

Oh, why do I always feel like I've been fooled?

Turning around, Leon looked at Xianghe who was sitting not far away, Xianghe was still in the white kimono, she just sat quietly under the tree, sometimes the leaves falling with the wind would fall on the Xianghe's head, but Xianghe doesn't seem to care about it.

"The leaves are all on your head, aren't you going to take them away?"

Walking to Xianghe, Leon stretched out his hand and took the leaves off Xianghe's head. Hearing what Leon said, Xianghe turned slightly to look at Leon.

"How did you come?"
