The blue time commander, good at undercover!

"What?! Rice alone costs tens of thousands of yuan per pound?"

"That's normal, meow. We in Chongying eat the thousand-year-old tribute rice from the outside world, and the same applies to fruits and vegetables. They are all special varieties specially provided for the upper class and wealthy people, meow."

After realizing that Luo Yi's consumption concept was that of an ordinary human, Mingshi had no choice but to quickly explain, shaking his cat sleeves: "So the price will be the same if you go to Shiranui."

No wonder he always felt that the rice he ate here was fragrant and moist, and he could even eat several rice balls in one go without any dishes!

After realizing that the food he ate in Sakura Empire were all so-called high-quality ingredients, Luo Yi couldn't help but become a little restrained for a moment.

He had heard before that in wealthy communities, there were usually dedicated fresh food supermarkets that provided food priced to match their assets, while the wealthy at a higher level had dedicated personnel and routes responsible for transportation.

When he thought about the fact that private manors would have teams and transportation teams specifically responsible for purchasing food supplies, Luo Yi could still understand the fact that prices in Sakura were high.

But, aren’t the prices in Sakura Empire too outrageous?

"I don't understand those luxury items or the special food for the rich, but you're charging me three hundred yuan for a bottle of the most ordinary Coke. Isn't that too much?"

"Really? We're using aircraft, fighter jets, for the fastest cold transport, so of course we have to factor in the shipping costs, meow."

Facing Luo Yi's helpless questioning, Akashi, with his little cat head held high, continued to add: "Also, we in the Sakura Empire camp don't directly purchase wholesale snacks from the outside world, meow."

"For the sake of quality and hygiene, we in Chongying have acquired some production factories. We are then seeking authorization from snack brands and using engineering robots to manage the production, specifically for us in Chongying."

"Oh no, you Kanmusu are not going to waste your money like this, are you!?"

After hearing what Mingshi said, Luo Yi was shocked and didn't know what to say except complaining.

"How rude, meow! Compared to the camp's military budget, these are just the most basic living expenses, meow."

As he spoke, Akashi, with his green velvet fur sticking up, couldn't help but tilt his little head in confusion.

You know, sea transportation, which accounts for 70% of global trade, is now controlled by the ship girls of each faction in different sea areas. The profits are naturally high. In addition, different ship girl factions also have more or less so-called side businesses.

For example, the Iron Blood Faction would sell arms to humans. As for the Sakura Empire, since those adorable submarine girls like I-19 love to play with fish in the sea, they would sometimes sell their precious catches to humans.

"Wait, what do you Kanmusu do with all this money?"

Upon hearing that the KanColle camp had its own industries outside the human world, Luo Yi immediately looked at Akashi in confusion.

After all, the oil used by each ship girl camp is collected from the seabed. He simply cannot imagine what the Sakura Empire does with so much money.

"Yeah, meow. It's because we have so much money that everyone spends it freely. Of course, we have to buy the best food."

Facing Luo Yi's confusion, Mingshi also nodded his head cutely.

Although these ship girls don't have much desire for material things, they will certainly try to enjoy things that can be enjoyed.

"Besides, our shipgirl camp sometimes needs money to manage things in your human society."

"For example, we've bribed a number of fishermen to help monitor the lighthouses at sea every day to see if there are any fleets from other factions passing by. This will help us detect the movements of other fleet camps."

"......"

After hearing Mingshi's plain explanation, the staggering Luo Yi finally realized the truth.

It’s bad... He is so poor that he can’t survive in Sakura Empire!

Thinking about the human pension that Mikasa had given him before, which was instantly used up by him in less than a month, Luo Yi, who realized it belatedly, walked out of the Akashi shop in confusion.

Coincidentally, because Shimakaze really enjoys helping everyone pick up packages, he just happened to come in skipping and jumping from outside.

Seeing this, Luo Yi, who was now penniless, asked Shimakaze who was about to say hello.

"Shimakaze, can I borrow some money from you to buy a little pudding..."

"Ugh?"

Chapter 50 The Wisdom of Little Tiancheng!

Unexpectedly, he became a complete pauper in Sakura Empire.

Outside the Akashi shop, after discovering that he still owed Maomao three million, Luo Yi once again felt the existence of oil, rice, firewood and salt, and felt a certain sadness more deeply.

On the other hand, regarding Luo Yi's previous request to borrow money to buy the pudding, Shimakaze, with his rabbit ears erect, couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and asked Luo Yi in a naive and cute manner: "Oh, Mr. Luo Yi, don't you have any money?"

"Ahem! Just teasing you, Shimakaze."

Seeing that Shimafeng's first reaction was that he didn't bring any money, Luo Yi instantly realized something and couldn't help but ask Shimafeng subtly: "Speaking of which, Shimafeng, how much pocket money do you usually have?"

“Hmm…Shimakaze never really paid attention to it, so even Shimakaze himself doesn’t know.”

"..."

After seeing that Shimakaze and other Sakura Empire ship girls did have their own unique view on money spending, Luo Yi also completely recognized the facts.

There is no way. It is said that the White Eagle camp will sell energy crystals to humans, which is an absolutely clean energy such as material currency, and other ship girl camps probably have no worries about money. It is reasonable for Shimakaze and the others to become like this.

Therefore, it was because an awkward human like him mixed in with the ship girls that some misunderstandings arose.

If he thinks this way...should he go to Akagi and ask her for living expenses?

Wait a minute! This seems even more tragic!

Considering that he didn't even have the responsibility of being a househusband, even though Luo Yi thought he was a shameless human being, he couldn't do the outrageous thing of asking Akagi for living expenses.

Oh right! Speaking of which, he just found a job in Sakura Empire today!

Originally, he just wanted to find a reason to foster Chang Meng's sense of accomplishment and self-confidence, and at the same time replenish the little fox's energy. He didn't expect that this would become his biggest lifesaver!

Thinking of this, Luo Yi couldn't help but quickly turn towards the direction of the Sakura Castle, wanting to find out what Chang Meng's subsequent actions would be.

Because if he doesn't find a way to find a source of income in the Sakura Empire, he will become a pathetic human being who lives off the Red Fox!

So soon——

In the elegant and graceful Sakura Castle, Amajo, who had gradually gotten used to Luo Yi coming to hang out with them from time to time, didn't say much, but instead politely poured Luo Yi a cup of hot tea.

"Tiancheng, what kind of tea is this and how much is it?"

Holding the high-quality tea in his hands, Luo Yi, who suddenly felt rich, couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing this, Tian Cheng, who instantly realized something, asked softly, "Mr. Luo Yi, are you... really short of money?"

"I need it! I can't even afford a bottle of Coke in your Sakura Empire! Sister-in-law Amagi!"

"Ugh?"

Seeing Luo Yi suddenly become materialistic, Tian Cheng, who was surprised, also placed her jade hands on her knees on the elegant robe and said gently in a gentle orchid tone: "Haha, Mr. Luo Yi, you worry too much."

"We in Sakura Empire are not so poor as to be unable to support a human being."

"Oh? Sister Tiancheng, do you want to support me? This is so embarrassing~?"

As he was speaking, Luo Yi couldn't help but immediately joked to Tiancheng: "In that case, how about I come over every day to brush your fox tail as a reward, Ms. Tiancheng?"

"Mr. Luo Yi, are you teasing me?"

Listening to Luo Yi's joke that lacked any sense of boundaries, the pitiful Tiancheng didn't know what to say because he had no experience of being teased by humans.

In response, Luo Yi, who stopped at the right time, smiled and added: "Because I think we are familiar with each other."

"Anyway, I wonder if Miss Chang Meng has come out to take over your work."

"Well, Nagato-sama did suddenly want to find some suitable work to handle."

After strategically ignoring Luo Yi's subtle address for their flagship, Tian Cheng, with her fox lips drawn, couldn't help but sincerely admire Luo Yi and said, "This is already progress."

"In fact, even Musashi and I haven't had the honor of working alongside Nagato-sama."

What a joke! He wouldn't have the mind to work if he was surrounded by two mature and plump fox sisters at the same time.

After confirming that Chang Meng had taken over the work on the Sakura Empire flagship again because of him, Luo Yi took the initiative to invite Tiancheng: "Tiancheng, I hope to cooperate with you."

"For example, how about you come over to Chicheng's place for dinner more often? Chicheng has given me some subtle family status now, although she still sits above me all the time."

Hearing Luo Yi's words, Tian Cheng suddenly realized something and asked curiously, "Mr. Luo Yi, are you going to ask me to play a trick on Chi Cheng next?"

"How can this be called a joke? I sincerely hope that you can reconcile. Oh, and remember to bring little Tiancheng along! Or even call that little Akagi along too!"

"..."

Faced with Luo Yi's sudden request, Tiancheng hesitated for a moment and finally nodded his fox head.

Because she also wanted to become close to Akagi again.

Just as Tiancheng stood up and left gracefully to arrange his itinerary, the paper sliding door beside him rang.

Then, the petite and lovely Xiao Tiancheng, wearing the complicated kimono bells and delicate black silk fox feet, sat directly in front of Luo Yi.

Seeing this, Luo Yi realized that Xiao Tiancheng came to find him intentionally and immediately wanted to tease him.

"Xiao Tiancheng, Xiao Tiancheng, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Considering that Shimakaze and the others had mentioned that Xiao Tiancheng was very precocious and smart, Luo Yi naturally couldn't help but want to test it out.

With soft chestnut fox ears and violet fox eyes, Xiao Tiancheng quickly raised his delicate white fox face in response to Luo Yi's funny question and responded softly, "Mr. Luo Yi, are you trying to tease Xiao Tiancheng by asking some strange questions?"

"Although you are convinced of Amagi-sister's intelligence, you still naively regard me as a little ship girl."

"...?"

Just as Luo Yi froze in place, the petite and elegant Xiao Tiancheng suddenly leaned forward respectfully, saluted, and said politely, "Chicheng is leaving her in your care."

"Although I'm not Akagi's real sister, I also hope that she can reconcile with Sister Tiancheng."

At this point, the seemingly sensible little Tiancheng smiled and nodded at Luo Yi, saying, "Also, the story about Mr. Luo Yi has long been circulated among our Sakura Empire's little shipgirls."

"It's a pity that I'm not good at sports, so I can't play with you like Liangyue and the others, so I can only listen to Beifeng and the others' descriptions."

Yes, because she is as sickly as Amagi, little Amagi is not good at sports, but she can use her clever mind to play with bad boys, so she is very popular in the circle of small ship girls in Sakura Empire.

Chapter 51 The Lonely Little Rabbit

"I actually admire you very much, Mr. Luo Yi."

The elegant Tiancheng and the room, the cute little Tiancheng nodded to Luo Yi cutely after saying: "You are very executive. Whether it is Nagato-sama, Tiancheng sister, or Liangyue and others, you are particularly proactive."

"And this is exactly what Sister Mikasa and the others don't have. Everyone has adapted to this kind of quietness with nothing to do."

The black undergarment lined with the off-the-shoulder kimono matched the little Tiancheng. After saying this, he raised his little face seriously and asked Luo Yi, "So, how do you plan to get Chicheng to rekindle the close sisterhood with us?"

Looking at the precocious and reliable Xiao Tiancheng in front of him, Luo Yi was surprised and couldn't help but walk forward, grabbing Xiao Tiancheng's furry chestnut fox ears and whispering.

"I see. So you need my assistance? I understand, but it seems impolite."

The bells and the bond string tied up the complicated kimono. Amajo, who seemed lost in thought, finally nodded softly and said directly and sincerely, "I understand. I will help you. Huhu."

"However, I don't quite understand why you, Mr. Luo Yi, are interacting with so many colleagues from the Sakura Empire at the same time."

Because not only Akagi, but also Amagi and you are disabled.

Luo Yi looked at the innocent little Amagi, who still had the naiveté of a little ship girl. Of course, he didn't explain too much. Instead, he pretended to be serious and asked Amagi, who had opened the door again not far away: "Can you sell her to me, Amagi?"

"Ugh?"

Facing Luo Yi, who now even coveted her small-sized ship, the elegant and orchid-like Tiancheng didn't know what to say.

So before long——

Under the slightly intoxicating sea breeze, in the famous sweet snack shop in Sakura Empire, Luo Yi brought little Tiancheng to the place where Xuefeng and the others usually gathered to eat snacks with a slight satisfaction.

"Oh, it looks like we have a special guest today."

Looking at Luo Yi who suddenly came in with little Tiancheng, in front of the snack shop's cabinet, an older sister exuding a homely atmosphere turned around and looked at her with a smile.

Feng Xiang, with her purple-black hair and slightly curled ends, looked as bright and attractive as an oiran. She bowed gently to Luo Yi.

On the other hand, Azuma, who helped Fengxiang take care of the little ship girl every day, naturally noticed Luo Yi immediately.

"It seems that Mr. Luo Yi has made new friends again."

Seeing that Luo Yi also brought Xiao Tiancheng, Azuma smiled gently and brought a plate of seven-colored meatballs to Yudachi and the others who happened to be having snacks here, then she gently came to Luo Yi.

"Hmm... I lost a week's worth of snacks to Shigure-sama."

In response to this, Shi Yu, who was sitting at the opposite table, couldn't help but look at Luo Yi with some resentment.

Hearing this, Haifeng and Shanfeng couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Luo Yi, and whispered: "It seems that the human has been going to see Master Nagato quite often these past few days."

"Wow, even us frigates that serve as the Son of God's guards can't see Lord Nagato, and Sister Jiang Feng is waiting for Lord Nagato inside the shrine all day long..."

Seeing Haifeng and the others seeming a little lost, Luo Yi, who had just picked up the menu, couldn't help but immediately flirt with Shanfeng and the others: "How about I take you to meet Chang Meng next time?"

"Hey, Shimakaze also wants to meet Nagato-sama."
