The Journey of Finding My Mother and Me

"No!" Xiao shook her head like a rattle.

"Then how do you help the commander get familiar with the environment?" Arizona's curiosity was aroused.

Akatsuki raised her head confidently, and said seriously: "I can scout the way ahead, use my ninja expertise, and tell the commander where there is danger!"

The smile on Arizona's face collapsed: "Ah..."

"do not want!"

"It's not necessary!"

"Exploring the path...just leave it to us."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Arizona, but also Icarus, Warspite and Kaohsiung also shouted at almost the same time.

Count on Xiao, a road idiot, to lead the way, and they won't be able to find anyone until tomorrow night!

Their rejection was so loud that the waiters in the restaurant stretched their necks and looked over.

"There's nothing here." In the end, it was Sheffield who dismissed the waiter's curiosity with a cold expression.

And Chang Dao said to Xiao: "Nirvana City is a serious big city, the commander will not encounter any danger~ Xiao, you can rest assured to follow me back to the yacht~"

"And with us here, the commander will not encounter any danger." Mikasa added from the side.

"But..." Until now, Akatsuki was still a little unwilling.

Until Chen Su smiled again and said, "Xiao, you should rest well today, this is an order I gave you as the commander."

Ah this...

"Okay..." Xiao suddenly replied in a low voice.

The commander's order, the ship girl in the port area must obey 100%, but there is obviously a look of unwillingness in Xiao's eyes under the mask.

At this time, Chen Su stood up, walked to Xiao, stretched out his hand to rub Xiao's black hair, and said seriously: "Don't think too much, just treat yourself as a vacation... Xiao, you usually, It's been working hard."

This is not consolation, nor is it a compliment, but a fact.

Even when she got on the yacht, Akatsuki's ninja training didn't stop. She would get up early every day and do all kinds of training on the deck and in the cabin.

And because of the fixed and closed living environment, her training time was longer than when she was in the City of Chanting.

With the help of Sheffield, Chen Su estimated that Xiao would get up at five o'clock every day, train until seven o'clock for breakfast, then continue training at eight o'clock, and eat lunch at twelve o'clock noon.

Chatting and playing with everyone in the afternoon, and training for six hours at night until going to bed, 24 hours a day, half of her time is spent on training.

This kind of pace of life made Chen Su feel tired for her. He entrusted Niao Hai to persuade Xiao, telling her that she didn't need to work so hard, but what she got in return was a serious answer from Xiao——

"I must seize all the time to exercise! Until I have the strength [Even if the commander disappears in the future, I can find him back at the first time]!"

Xiao improved her strength not for herself, but purely for Chen Su.

After listening to the answer relayed by Niaohai, Chen Su sighed heavily, because Akatsuki's performance hinted at him one thing.

Don't look at the girls who are smiling now, enjoying the life with themselves, and looking heartless all day long, as if nothing happened before.

In fact, deep in their hearts, there is still a shadow—to put it simply, the fact that Minato and the commander disappeared at the same time overnight still haunts them like a midnight nightmare.

What should the commander do if he leaves his side inexplicably?

How could the shadow caused by three years dissipate so easily.

As for this matter, Chen Su has no good way to solve it. After all, in the memory of Jianniang, he and Hong Kong disappeared together. In the eyes of most Jianniang, he is also a victim of Hong Kong's disappearance.

So even if Chen Su promises not to leave the ship girl's side in the future, it's useless—in the ship girl's view, Chen Su never took the initiative to leave at all. His disappearance was caused by supernatural power and was passive.

What's the use of the commander's guarantee, and he can't use the power that makes the port area disappear mysteriously!

That's what most shipwives think.

"So, it can only be resolved by time..." Chen Susi thought about it, and felt that this matter finally fell on an old saying, that is, "accompanying is the longest confession of love".

Three years of self-retirement brought three years of psychological shadow to the girls.

Then I will spend the rest of my life by the side of the girls, and use the rest of my life to resolve this psychological shadow!

Anyway, I don't even have the game at hand now, so I can't quit the pit again...

With such an idea of ​​companionship, Chen Su has always seen Xiao's efforts in his eyes and kept them in his heart.

He rubbed Akatsuki's hair, and said seriously: "You are my exclusive ninja, you must protect your body... If you are exhausted, who can protect me? Girls, you want to protect me?" Learn to take care of yourself!"

Xiao's eyes changed, and she looked at Chen Su with a touch of tenderness.

And Chen Su immediately struck while the iron was hot: "And, as my ninja, what you need to protect is not only my personal safety, but my property safety also needs your protection!"

"Eh?" Akatsuki's mind didn't turn around for a while.

And Chang Dao quickly understood what Chen Su meant, and persuaded him: "The commander wants you and Miss Ghost to protect the yacht together, so as to prevent criminals from coming to make trouble on the yacht~"

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Su, her eyes full of jokes.

To protect the yacht, the commander can think of such a reason.In a city as big as Nirvana City, what kind of rotten security facilities are there to allow thieves to sneak into the docks.

What's more, there is no thief who is free to steal a yacht... The commander's reason can also appease a simple child like Akatsuki.

Sure enough, Akatsuki was completely relieved when she heard that she was going back to rest with a mission.She nodded vigorously and said, "Understood! I will definitely protect the safety of the yacht!"

"That's good... Long Island, please." Chen Su raised his eyebrows at Long Island while rubbing Xiao's black hair.

After going back, let Xiao rest well, and don't really let her believe the reason for protection that she made nonsense.

Chang Dao understood what Chen Su meant without speaking.She nodded to show that she understood.

Only then did Chen Su heave a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Niao Hai, signaling her to arrange today's tasks.

"I divided everyone into five teams," Chokai, who was the secretary ship, immediately opened his notebook and said, "the reserve material team, the fuel purchase team, the appointment repair team, and the two listening teams."

Chokai talked eloquently, while Penn gently tugged Kaohsiung's sleeve.

"What's the matter?" Gao Xiong, who was sitting on his chest waiting for the mission arrangement, turned his head with a serious face, frowned and looked at Pennsylvania, a little unhappy that she had a private chat with him when the secretary ship released the mission.

"Did your sister have the habit of using a notebook before?" Pennsylvania also knew that her behavior was not good, so she lowered her voice.

Chokai?notebook?

Kaohsiung looked at Chokai who was reciting his name to his notebook, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly: "I don't think so."

Before Pennsylvania could speak, she added: "But she was not a secretary ship before. After serving as a secretary ship, there are more things to record. It is normal to use a notebook as a memorandum."

Kaohsiung didn't think too much. After answering Pennsylvania's question, he devoted himself to the listening task.

And Pennsylvania, who got the answer, didn't bother her anymore, but stared at the notebook in Chokai's hand, thinking about it.

Since I have never used a notebook before, even if I am serving as a secretary ship, I should not suddenly use it in a short time.

Jianniang seldom changes her living habits and the way she treats people, unless it is...

Pennsylvania looked at Chen Su who was sitting between Xiao and Long Island.

Influenced by own Commander.

"I always feel that if things go on like this, Chokai, whose behavior and habits are getting more and more in tune with the commander, will also receive a ring..." Pennsylvania sighed silently.

This is the advantage of a secretary ship that can get close to the commander in terms of love...

She glanced at Arizona, who was sitting obediently and smiling on the seat, and felt that it was time for her to think of a way to help her into the position of the second secretary ship.

Otherwise, it will be too late when the other ship girls come back!

And when he was distracted in Pennsylvania, Chokai had already arranged everything.

Mikasa, Takao, and Atago went to contact the maintenance crew for a routine inspection of the yacht.

Pennsylvania and Arizona are responsible for buying fuel.

War wearied, Sheffield, Icarus and Suffolk go shopping for various supplies.

Cleveland and Quincy went to the service center in Nirvana City to inquire about news and see if there were any tasks suitable for them.

Chen Su, Niaohai and Maya went to places with a lot of traffic to inquire about the information about the ship girl.

Once the task is done, it's time to go.

"The time for the sun to set in Nirvana City is about 05:30," Chen Su looked at the information collected by Niaohai, and gave the order, "Then everyone must return to the yacht before five o'clock."

"Yes!"

"understood!"

"no problem!"

The ship girls agreed to Chen Su's arrangement, and soon disappeared into the crowd in twos and threes.

Even Chen Su, with Chokai and Maya, left according to the map.

Only Warspite, Suffolk, and Icarus remained in front of the breakfast shop.

A few seconds later, Sheffield, who was in charge of the checkout, came out of the store.She looked around and found that everyone else had already left, so she stood behind War Weary very politely.

Zhan Zhan nodded at her, and then said, "Xie Fei has also come out, so let's get ready to go... Well, the list of supplies Chokai gave me is quite long."

Purchasing supplies is a big job.

In addition to food, all kinds of daily necessities are also listed on this list by Chokai.In addition, the nautical charts of the Nirvana sea area and nearby sea areas are also within the scope of procurement.

"This list is definitely in the hands of Mikasa," Icarus said with a smile after reading the list. Senior, you are really capable!"

She praised heartily.

And war weariness gave her a headache. Looking at the various supplies on the list, she frowned, not knowing where to start first.

In the end, it was Sheffield who hit the nail on the head: "Just go directly to the large supermarket, there should be most of the supplies we need... If you can't buy it there, go to other places to replenish it."

This proposal made the eyes of the other three royal ship girls shine, and Suffolk even raised his arms and shouted: "Good idea! Let's go quickly!"

Sheffield ignored her.

War Weariness and Icarus didn't intend to move either.

Suffolk blinked: "Eh? What's the matter with you? Aren't you going to a large supermarket? Why don't you go?"

Sheffield said expressionlessly: "It seems that Suffolk, you have been to Nirvana City before."

Suffolk quickly shook his head: "I met Her Majesty the Queen immediately after I left the port area, and I have been following you all the time. How could I have a chance to come to Nirvana... Ah! That's how it is! We don't know where the large supermarket is now ah!"

She's just a little innocent and natural, not really stupid, and when it comes to this, she has come to realize it herself.

"Go ask the boss." Zhan Zhan pointed to the breakfast shop behind him and said to Sheffield.

Sheffield nodded, turned and went back to the breakfast shop.

After a few seconds, she came out.

"Ask clearly," she said calmly, "There is a large supermarket called [Nirvana Shopping Mall] about 500 meters away from here."

War-weariness nodded: "Well, our first stop is there!"

…………

At the same time, Nirvana shopping mall.

Z23 knocked on the door of the staff office.

"Come here!" A lively voice came from inside the door.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a girl with long pink hair was standing at the door.

"Good morning, Atlanta!" Z23 greeted politely.

"Ah! Nimi! Good morning!" Atlanta quickly smiled back, "Why are you here? Do you need my sister to help me with anything?"

098. Is that Atlanta?!

"Eh? Your family has no food again?"

After hearing Z23's request, Atlanta was shocked.

She looked at Z23 with an embarrassed expression in front of her, showing a puzzled look, and said, "There are only three ship girls on your side, why is the food consumption rate so much faster than that on my sister's side?"

Strictly speaking, Atlanta is not the older sister of Z23. This title is her habitual self-proclaimed name that occasionally pops up as the No. 1 Atlanta-class light cruiser.

Of course, she herself is indeed very sister-like, at least in terms of caring for others, she is very reliable.

"Ahaha... for various reasons." Z23 could only smile, trying to pass the test with cuteness.
