"And what about Brother Jiang? I seemed to hear Brother Jiang's voice in your room last night."

Yixuan quickly interrupted, "Fufu, kids, don't ask around!"

"I'm not a child anymore!" Ju Fufu snorted in dissatisfaction. "Yesterday, many people praised me as Lady Fufu!"

Not a child...

Yixuan thought of Jiang Lianqiu and spat again.

The one who really isn't a child is that guy.

"Okay, Fu Fu, go out first. I need to change my clothes."

"Ow!"

As expected, Ju Fufu was coaxed away by Yixuan with just one sentence. It was not until he walked out the door that he realized that his master had not answered his question at all.

"What? Everyone treats me like a child..."

Ju Fu Fu raised his leg and kicked the stone next to him.

"But, Master, that dress is so beautiful. Could it be that Master was wearing it for Brother Jiang to see last night?"

"But why does Master keep shouting about destroying all evil spirits? Could it be that there is an evil spirit in Brother Jiang—"

“Fufu!!!!!!!!!”

Yixuan's voice came from the room again, causing Ju Fufu to shrink his head, holding his head and running away screaming.

……Dividing line……

Starport.

Jiang Lianqiu, feeling refreshed, just arrived and saw Hu De walking hurriedly.

"commander?"

When he saw Jiang Lianqiu, Hu De's face was immediately filled with joy and he walked quickly forward.

"You're back? I was just about to report to you the plan for dealing with the ancestor..."

"Don't mention this for now." Jiang Lianqiu raised his hand to interrupt Hu De, "How long has it been since you had a rest?"

"Although the Mind Cube gives you great power, unlike the Servants, you Shipgirls don't have the ability to work non-stop without sleep."

"I remember I arranged some vacation time for you guys, right? Working hours are also limited."

Hood opened his mouth and said defensively, "Because the military production capacity of the starport has begun to explode, things are gradually piling up, and I have to-"

"You should also take care of your rest. After you finish the report, give yourself a break. What do you usually like to do?"

Hood tilted his head, thought for a moment, and replied, "I want to focus on the military!"

Jiang Lianqiu: “?”

Are you here preparing to micro-manage?

Seeing that Jiang Lianqiu was silenced by him, Hu De was puzzled and waved his hand in front of him with some concern.

"Commander? Are you tired? How about I report back later?"

"Just say it."

"Alright." Hood nodded. "Because of the extremely strong interference on Mirage Moon and the limited support provided by the Yunkuishan Base, it was difficult for us to do anything about it."

"But now that the interference has been further reduced and the base is completely back on track, we can consider starting to build a military factory on the other side - just like we did in the Collapse Iron Universe."

"When fleets can move freely in the future, we will be able to easily mobilize a considerable army in a short period of time."

"The current priority target is the fourth orbital planet in the opposite world's system. Development there will also provide support to Mirage Moon. Before that, I plan to deploy autonomous mechas and sentry guns on Mirage Moon, and also install a monitoring hub. Once the fourth orbital planetary base is completed, I'll allow my colleagues at the consciousness nodes to conduct research there to ensure safety..."

After briefly explaining his plan, Hood looked at Jiang Lianqiu cautiously and asked tentatively, "Here are some military reports from the current naval port. Commander, would you like to know?"

"You said."

Hearing this, Hood smiled again, as if his work was recognized.

The diligent and responsible ship girl explained everything to Jiang Lianqiu in detail, and only then did he realize that, without him noticing, his fleet... had expanded.

"...The construction of the battleship factory is nearing completion, and we will soon be able to—"

"Hu De." Jiang Lianqiu suddenly interrupted her.

"What's wrong, Commander?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lianqiu smiled and patted her shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything you want to realize? If I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it."

"Eh? Aaaaaaaaa——!?" Even Hood, who was always heroic and valiant, couldn't help but lose his composure at this moment.

She tilted her head and scratched her face, her eyes darting back and forth quickly. She kept looking at Jiang Lianqiu, and finally whispered, "Um...just now the commander said that if I can take a day off..."

"Can I ask the Commander to go on a date with me?"

Jiang Lianqiu looked at Hu De's military uniform and smiled.

"In that case, you need to go change your clothes."

Chapter 226: The Sadness of the USS Washington

Originally, Jiang Lianqiu planned to meet Vivian today.

But since Hood took the initiative to invite him on a date, Vivian's matter had to be postponed.

After some time, the location is on Earth.

"Befa is really..."

Jiang Lianqiu stood on the street with one hand in his pocket, leaning against a street lamp. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to loosen his collar, but when he thought of Belfast's serious look when he found out that Hood had invited him on a date, and brought Sirius around him to do all kinds of things, he gave up the idea.

The scorching summer sun was scorching the land of Tokyo, and the chirping of cicadas that could be heard even in the downtown area clearly told him that it was almost the peak summer season of August.

Pedestrians on the street can be seen hurrying by, and both men and women can be seen walking hurriedly. Even in this hot weather, they have to dress up in suits and ties and endure the unbearable heat.

A large number of traditional Japanese companies require their employees to dress appropriately regardless of the weather, and in their social consensus, these four words are basically equivalent to wearing neat and meticulous formal attire.

Although this social atmosphere will loosen up in the future, isn't it only 20-11 years?

As the saying goes, you are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you from the upstairs. Unknowingly, Jiang Lianqiu himself has become a scenery that cannot be ignored in the eyes of others.

"Hi! Excuse me, my phone's out of battery. Could you tell me what time it is?"

Suddenly, a girl dressed like a hottie came up, looked at him with surprise and asked.

Jiang Lianqiu opened her slightly closed eyelids, first glanced at the hot girl who was chatting her up, then glanced at her companions who were gathered not far behind her and were laughing and looking at this side.

This was the fourth wave of people who came to chat him up during the five minutes he had been waiting here.

Some said they had just moved to the area and were unfamiliar with the terrain, so they pretended to ask for directions. Some said they looked like one of her friends, and some were so bold as to come up and compliment her directly, saying they wanted to get to know her.

As for this—didn't she hide the phone she was holding before she spoke? The screen was still on!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, a mature and gentle voice sounded from the side.

"Ma'am, it's very unladylike to strike up a conversation with someone else's date without their permission."

"ah!"

The hot girl who came to chat with me was startled. When she turned around and saw who was coming, she was instantly ashamed.

She hurriedly bowed and apologized, lowered her head and ran back to her companions. A few of them gathered together and pushed and shouted as they left, but they kept looking back, and their eyes showed extreme reluctance to leave.

Jiang Lianqiu no longer paid attention to this episode. He also had a look of amazement in his eyes and praised, "Just now I was complaining that Belfast dressed me too much, but now it seems just right. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to walk with you."

The Hood in front of him had changed out of his military uniform and put on an ivory off-shoulder fishtail dress. His milky white arms were covered with white gloves that were longer than his elbows, a symbol of purity. On one side of his head was a small hat decorated with a white rose, and he was holding a women's handbag of the same color in his hand.

Her naturally curly blonde hair, which was originally combed to one side and resting on her right chest, had obviously been carefully groomed. When it sparkled in the sun, the curls were even greater than before. The deliberately trimmed hair on both sides just happened to reveal a little bit of her earlobe, which made the matching earrings and the white pearl necklace on her neck complement each other.

She wore the white coat on her shoulders like a cloak, which perfectly filled the gap in the beauty of her shoulders.

"Since I've taken the liberty of keeping the Commander waiting, a lady should give her all."

Catching the surprise in Jiang Lianqiu's eyes, Hood raised the corner of his mouth slightly, blinked his clear blue eyes, and took the initiative to stretch out the hand that was not holding the bag and hold Jiang Lianqiu's arm.

"The sun is shining brightly. Today is a perfect day for outdoor activities. Commander, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"I should have asked for your opinion on the date you suggested."

Hood leaned over with a smile and whispered in his ear: "At times like this, a more domineering commander would be more likable, right?"

"but--"

She suddenly stretched out her voice and changed the subject.

"--If the Commander doesn't have a destination in mind, it's fine to wander around. It's not just the distant beauty that's captivating; the scenery around you is also worth noting."

Those eyes that seemed to be able to speak were looking directly at Jiang Lianqiu, and the scenery around him was obviously referring to himself.

One by one, they are all hitting straight balls.

"Want to go to the beach? There are quite a few seaside parks in Tokyo Bay, though they're artificial beaches, not naturally formed sandy coastlines."

"Ever since you became the Legion's node hub, you haven't left the starport to see the sea, right?"

Hu De obviously liked Jiang Lianqiu's choice very much. He took the initiative to kiss the side of his face and nodded, saying, "The sea? It's been a while."

“Although the starry sky is vast, the sea is our starting point after all.”

……Dividing line……

The artificial seaside park in Tokyo Bay was built for citizens to relax and have fun.

Of course, there is never a shortage of high-end places that are only open to the upper class elite.

Of course, Jiang Lianqiu would not take Hu De to an ordinary seaside park, but went to the Linhai Club with her.

The huge open-air observation deck on the fourth floor was decorated by the club with great effort to look like a botanical garden, with various clusters of flowers dividing the space into separate areas.

That is, it will not obstruct the view, allowing guests to easily take in the surroundings and the beach below, while also giving guests a certain degree of privacy.

Glancing at the obscure logo on the tea set brought by the waiter, Hood sat across from Jiang Lianqiu and said with a faint smile, "So you actually chose the Commander's property?"

"I didn't even know this place was controlled by the Silver Crown Star Ring."

Hood took a sip of his black tea and nodded with satisfaction.

Although it's not as good as the craftsmanship of Belfa and Sirius, it's still pretty good.

Suddenly, Hood caught a glimpse of a huge warship slowly passing by in the distant Tokyo Bay.

"Is that... White Eagle's ship?"

"Yokosuka Port is right at the entrance to Tokyo Bay, where the US Navy base is located, so it's not surprising to see US ships here."

Jiang Lianqiu obviously also saw the passing aircraft carrier.

Isn't that Washington, who has been stationed in Yokosuka Port since 2008?

Hood stared at the huge hull of the USS Washington and suddenly pressed his eyelids.

"Commander, Washington... looks very sad."

Chapter 227: Does the Commander Care About the Date?

The Washington in Hood's memory was a battleship.

Unexpectedly, with the passage of time, Washington has also become an aircraft mother.

wrong.

Hood shook his head.

She knew that White Eagle had a tradition of having warships repeat their past names, and this Washington had nothing to do with the Washington she remembered.

"Sad? You can feel its emotions? It's not a ship girl."

"Of course not." Hood shook her head. "It doesn't have what's called self-awareness, but as shipgirls, even on ordinary ships, we can sense some emotions that only we can perceive. These emotions don't come from the ship itself, but are the result of the collective unconscious emotions of the people on board clinging to the ship. It's a kind of pseudo-ship thought."

"This Washington is very sad."
