The blue time commander, good at undercover!

"A fox only eats what it catches itself. Oh, no, I won't eat food given out of pity! Wait, this statement seems a bit strange. Wait, Akagi! Wait, can you wait for me to finish..."

Ignoring Luo Yi's joking attempt to delay time, Chicheng dragged Luo Yi into the bedroom and closed the paper sliding door heavily.

"..."

Witnessing the subsequent plot of the red fox spirit preying on humans, Kaga, who had no reaction at all, just drank a sip of hot tea in silence.

After all, for her who follows the rule of the jungle, she can accept anything her stronger sister Akagi asks her to do.

So she would not be offended at all by Akagi's words that seemed like a gift, and would obey the orders obediently.

But... she was a little surprised that the human who kept staring at her white tail didn't accept it.

I see, is it because of your boring self-esteem that you are unwilling to accept your sister's charity?

Lamenting the fact that couples quarrel, Kaga, who essentially has no experience in relationships, finally came to this very reasonable conclusion.

The next morning——

Next to the Sakura Castle, on the top of the Sakura Shrine on the back mountain of the island, the grand sacred cherry tree is glowing with a light pink glow.

At this moment, walking on the stone steps facing the shrine's torii, Mikasa and Amagi were silently stepping into the depths of the Shisakura Shrine. After bypassing layer after layer of defense measures, they officially stepped into a unique space.

That’s right, they, the ship girls, actually have space-related technology and have used it in their defense facilities.

And now, they were preparing to convey Luo Yi's sudden request to a certain little fox flagship in seclusion.

Chapter 34: Ink-dyed Steel Flower ~ Chang Meng

Deep within the Juezakura Shrine——

A giant cherry tree stands in the center of the unique space, and on the sea of ​​cherry blossom petals gathered at the bottom, a petite and pitiful soft body is kneeling solemnly on the seat, letting the ink-black, soft long hair gently fall down.

The white gauze of the winding yarn appears transparent and thin. Under the outline of a complicated Japanese dress, a noble little Sakura fox slowly raised its little head and looked at the cherry blossoms floating in the sky.

And that flawless fox face without any embellishment has a bit of baby fat and looks white, soft and translucent.

Nagato-class battleship, No. 1, Nagato.

The complicated gold-plated hair accessories are embellished with ink-black fox ears. Chang Meng is also sitting here quietly today, using the mighty battleship to continuously receive the signals of the sacred tree and sense the situation around the Sakura Islands.

That’s right, as the leader of the Sakura Empire, Chang Meng is now like a mascot, doing his job quietly.

However, Chang Meng often thinks that this boring job of receiving invasion signals can actually be replaced by other ship girls.

So, what exactly is the value of her, the guardian of the Sakura Empire and the second flagship of the Sakura Empire Combined Fleet?

Thinking of this, Chang Meng couldn't help but droop his dark fox ears in disappointment.

In fact, the reason why she insisted on staying under the sacred tree and doing this boring work was because she felt a little inferior.

In terms of experience, she is not as good as Mikasa and the others, and in terms of tactics and decisiveness, she is far inferior to Amagi and Musashi.

Leading the Sakura Empire fleet to the front line is what Akagi and the others are good at. Chang Meng himself is also aware that he seems to lack a sense of prestige that is both confident and arrogant.

Although many of her colleagues in the Sakura Empire were respectful to her, the way Musashi and the others wanted to take care of her in every way made Chang Meng clearly feel that it was like... treating a small ship girl who needed care.

So, is she really suitable to sit on the flagship position of the Sakura Empire?

Worried about his own abilities, Chang Meng finally decided that it would be best for him to just be a good mascot and try not to cause trouble for Musashi and the others.

Thinking of this, Chang Meng continued to stare at the falling cherry blossom petals in a daze, without any change.

The next moment, the dignified Noshiro, dressed in a sailor uniform, respectfully approached from the distant fluorescent stairs and reported softly to Nagato, who had just come down from the sacred tree: "Nagato-sama."

"Mikasa-sama and Amagi-sama have something to report to you and will be here shortly."

"Is that so? I understand."

Facing the demon girl, Noshiro, who was full of the temperament of a female squad leader, Chang Meng, with her fox ears erect, could not help but waved her sleeves and nodded imposingly, "Noshiro, please step aside first. Let Lady Mikasa and the others come in to see me directly."

After saying that, Chang Meng couldn't help but shake his fox ears nervously, and looked at Noshiro who nodded seriously.

There's no way around it. Although she tries hard to exude dignity through her words and actions every day, she is essentially a kind and somewhat introverted loli. It's the time when she wants to make some playmates besides her younger sister Mutsu.

But unfortunately, she can't laugh with Mikasa and the others who are more mature than her, nor can she play with the lively and cute Yukikaze and the others. As a leader, she seems to be stuck in the middle and looks a little pitiful.

Just when Chang Meng started to think wildly again, Amagi and Mikasa soon slowly came in front of Chang Meng.

Seeing this, Chang Meng, who was kneeling on the seat, hurriedly greeted Mikasa and Amagi who came to visit specially.

"Well, you all have worked hard. Would you like to sit down and have some tea first? I'll ask Jiang Feng and the others to prepare it."

"No need, Nagato-sama."

Looking at Chang Mengmeng who wanted to entertain them, the upright and well-behaved Mikasa hurriedly thanked Chang Meng for his kindness.

After all, in her eyes, Chang Meng was a junior who needed care, so Mikasa was certainly embarrassed to cause trouble for Chang Meng.

Fortunately, compared to the Meiji-style Mikasa, the reserved and elegant Amagi took the initiative to accept Nagamo's kindness.

"Thank you, Nagato-sama. It's a good opportunity for us to sit down and talk."

After suggesting that Mikasa sit in front of Nagato with him, Amagi hesitated for a while before finally explaining to Nagato in a reserved tone, "Um, Nagato-sama."

"Actually, the human gentleman we told you about last time wants to meet you."

"Ugh?"

With a vivid and perfect cute expression, Chang Meng was caught off guard and blinked his clear golden eyes in a cute way.

"What does he want to do when he sees me?"

Hearing that a strange human gentleman was coming to see him, Chang Meng was a little nervous and couldn't help but look at Mikasa and Amagi's expressions carefully, trying to see the answer.

Because she actually hadn't dealt with decision-making issues in the Sakura Empire camp for a long time. After all, she was worried that it would cause trouble for everyone.

Facing Chang Meng's cautious attitude, Tian Cheng, with mixed feelings, added softly, "Sir Nagato, that human gentleman named Luo Yi wants to learn about us, the Sakura Empire."

"So... he wanted to have a friendly talk with our Sakura Empire flagship."

"Is that so? I understand."

Listening to Tiancheng's comforting words, Chang Meng nodded her little head in understanding.

"In that case, please bring him here. I agree."

Realizing that she symbolizes the image of the entire Sakura Empire, Chang Meng is certainly not prepared to avoid meeting with strange humans, but is determined to show the greatness of Sakura Empire.

And at the same time——

Just when Tiancheng and the others were helping to convey a message to Luo Yi, Luo Yi completely lost the strength to move.

There's nothing he can do, after all, his waist is weak now!

After experiencing another night of being exploited by the red fox, Luo Yi, with mixed feelings, struggled to crawl out of Akagi's bedroom, and then looked at Kaga who was eating breakfast.

"Jagababe, your sister treats you like an object, aren't you ashamed?!"

Looking at Kaga, who was drinking miso soup like a fox, Luo Yi couldn't help but ask the expressionless Kaga, "Have you never thought about defeating Akagi again?"

"For example, how about joining forces with me? Then we can capture your sister together!"

"Pfft~ Just you?"

Kaga looked at Luo Yi who suddenly said that he wanted to join her to deal with Akagi, and her cold and beautiful fox face couldn't help but sneer suddenly.

As for Kaga's response, which was no different from a sneer, Luo Yi also completely realized the fact.

It is obvious that Akagi really defeated Kaga, otherwise Kaga, the fox sister, would not be so loyal to her sister's rule.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi could only accept the fact that Kaga would not come to help him.

What a pity, he had originally wanted to encourage Kaga to help him suppress Akagi so that he could suck the fox at will.

Chapter 35 The target is the friends of the small ship girl!

"Well, I have to say, the food in Sakura Empire is really good. Even the rice tastes slightly sweet."

Sitting at a low Japanese-style table, enjoying the quality of the Sakura breakfast, Luo Yi fiddled with his tamagoyaki while curiously asking Kaga beside him, "By the way, where's Akagi?"

"I'm out on some business. Since the Iron Blood camp has been harassing our Sakura Empire Vice Fleet, that is, Musashi and the others, my sister is going to negotiate with the Iron Blood camp."

Seeing Luo Yi openly eating and drinking from them and flirting with her from time to time, Kaga finally couldn't help but coldly ask, "When I first met you, you were so cautious. Why are you like this now?"

"Because at the beginning, I was actually a little afraid of you, but now it's different."

Holding a fresh pickled radish, Luo Yi then winked at the aloof Kaga and said, "Besides, how can a familiar ship and an unfamiliar ship be the same? Don't you think so, Jia Jiabei?"

"In terms of emotion and reason, shouldn't you call me dear brother-in-law?"

"You really have no sense of shame at all. You're just my sister's toy."

Thinking of Akagi specifically asking her to stay and take care of Luo Yi, Kaga couldn't help but frown slightly at her cold blue eyes with eye makeup on, and leisurely questioned Luo Yi: "Don't you feel humiliated?"

"But, is it really humiliating to be raped by a beautiful fox sister? (Surprised)?"

"..."

Just when Kaga was speechless as usual because of Luo Yi's teasing, an arrogant little fox's head suddenly popped out from the windowsill not far away.

Then, with a look of grievance on her face, Chao Nagi angrily said to Luo Yi inside: "Liar."

"You clearly agreed to be Nagi-sama's punching bag, but you're not keeping your word!"

Wow, come to think of it, he almost forgot about Asanagi.

Looking at Chao Nagi who came to him specifically to complain, Luo Yi realized something belatedly.

That’s right! He can’t afford to suck up Akagi’s fox tail, but he can find Ping to replace the fox!

Although Asanagi, this hopeless fox kid, only has a gray fox tail and a body that is the size of a fried egg and a strawberry, he is obviously much easier to deal with than Akagi who asks for an exorbitant price.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi's face suddenly turned serious. He pretended to feel guilty and turned to Chao Nagi and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Lord Chao Nagi."

"I'll go out right now and take over your sandbag duties."

"Really?"

Seeing that Luo Yi seemed to be frightened by his majesty, Chao Nagi, who was a little complacent, instantly showed his cute little fox teeth and immediately returned to his arrogant look.

So before long——

Inside the activity dojo inside the Sakura Empire.

As a place for daily training for the Sakura Empire's ship girls, many of them practice Aikido here.

By the way, as a senior of Sakura Empire, Lady Mikasa would occasionally wear a loose gym uniform and come to teach Sakura Empire's active little ship girls how to practice Aikido.

But apart from Aikido, some other ship girls also like other sports.

"Hoohoo, finally, Asanagi-sama has a sandbag!"

Inside the dojo, Asanagi, who was wearing gray and white twin ponytails, was excitedly putting on her boxing gloves, and then she excitedly rushed towards Luo Yi who was wearing a sparring pad in front of her.

Just when Luo Yi closed his eyes instinctively, Chao Nagi, who was wearing high-split black stockings, swung her red and white sleeves and hit Luo Yi's abdomen with her pink little fist with full momentum.

Pah~?

Just, that’s it?

Feeling the force from Chao Nagi that was almost the same as a massage, Luo Yi was so surprised that he didn't react for a while.

He originally thought that he would experience the feeling of being bullied by the fox kid today, but he didn't expect that Asanagi's Fox Divine Fist would be so weak.

After all, without deploying their ship armor, the physical fitness of the ship girls will not see any tonnage-level bonus.

But compared to Shimakaze's bunny loli physical fitness, Asanagi is too weak.

Just when Luo Yi couldn't help but complain that Chao Nagi was all show and no use, Chao Nagi, who was in high spirits, happily swung his windmill punch and hit Luo Yi's stomach repeatedly with a roar.

"Aha! Aha! How is it? Does it hurt?"

Looking at the little fox ghost who had the nerve to ask him if it hurt, Luo Yi suddenly remembered something and began to read earnestly, "Ah! It hurts so much, I can't take it anymore."

"Huh? I didn't expect to actually hurt you. Well, to avoid hurting you, I'll just hit your side."

"No! It hurts here too. Asanagi-sama, can you try another spot?"

As he was talking, Luo Yi sat down with his back to Chao Nagi, and then pretended to be pitiful and weak and begged for mercy: "Lord Chao Nagi, please do it on my back. My flesh is the strongest there."

"Hmm? Here?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. Better to go a little higher."
