Kaga took the sleeping bag but didn't use it; she simply continued watching Shiro.
"Ms. Kaga Fukami? What's wrong?"
“Akagi Akagi…” Kaga Akagi thought for a moment, then asked, “She…is with you…?”
"Hmm...you mean Deep Sea Akagi? Yes, human society is too unfriendly to her, so I talked to her and she decided to come with me from now on," Xiaobai said without any hesitation.
"..." Fukami Kaga blinked. "...Is it...the reward for the transaction?"
"No," Xiaobai shook her head, "it was purely voluntary on both sides."
“…” Kaga Fukami remained silent for a long time before finally nodding, “…Mm.”
Kaga Fukami hugged her sleeping bag and thought for a while, then, as if she had made a decision, she looked up at Shiro and said.
"Miss Bai."
"what's wrong?"
"I also want."
"Eh?"
Chapter 2398 A cause for celebration
Xiao Bai almost dropped the other sleeping bag he was holding.
"Deep Sea Kaga, what did you say?" Xiaobai gripped the sleeping bag firmly in her hands and looked at Deep Sea Kaga in surprise.
"I want to go with you too." Kaga Fukami said earnestly to Shiro while hugging her sleeping bag.
"Uh……"
"Can't you?"
“It’s not impossible…” Xiaobai thought for a moment, put the sleeping bag aside, and then said to Shenhai Kaga, “However… Miss Shenhai Kaga still retains the power of the Deep Sea Dean, right? Given your circumstances, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay on the other side of the sea?”
“…” Kaga Fukami lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Don't you like the sea?" Xiaobai asked.
“No.” Kaga Fukami shook his head.
"So you really like the human world?" Xiaobai asked again.
"So-so," Kaga Fukami continued, shaking his head.
"Then... could it be because of Akagi Akagi?" Xiaobai stroked his chin, his gaze drifting towards the bathroom.
"Mm." Kaga Fukami finally nodded.
"So that's why..." Xiaobai smiled wryly as he looked at Shenhai Kaga's reaction.
"Is it okay?" Kaga asked pleadingly, looking at Shiro.
"I can't make that decision right now. Why don't you wait until Akagi Fukami finishes her shower and ask her yourself?" Xiaobai sighed. "If Akagi Fukami thinks it's okay, then I'd be very happy to have you."
“?” Kaga Fukami was stunned.
Although Kaga Fukami didn't say anything, her expression clearly conveyed the message, "I'm going with you, so why do I need to ask for other people's opinions? Can't you make this decision yourself?"
In response to Kaga's silent question, Shiro could only smile awkwardly and pat her arm noncommittally.
—This is something I really can't decide.
After all, Akagi had practically begged Shiro to let her take Kaga away, so Shiro had to consider Akagi's feelings.
To be honest, before meeting Akagi Akagi, Xiaobai did have the idea of finding a way to recruit the two Akagi Akagi into the newbie naval base in the future. But now that things have developed to this point, especially after having an in-depth conversation with Akagi Akagi, Xiaobai no longer has those worldly thoughts about Akagi Kaga.
It's not that Xiaobai doesn't want Deepsea Kaga.
Who could resist a beautiful, seemingly cold but actually naive, deep-sea dean with a hidden large bust?
Xiaobai simply felt that since Deepsea Akagi had made so many sacrifices to protect Deepsea Kaga, her selfless dedication was truly moving. Even just for the sake of Deepsea Akagi's sincere feelings, she should respect Deepsea Kaga's wishes. If Deepsea Kaga wanted to return to the sea, Xiaobai would definitely not stop her any further.
more importantly.
Xiaobai was worried that if he agreed to Shenhai Kaga's proposal at this critical juncture, the goodwill that Shenhai Akagi had just cultivated with him would be wiped out in an instant and drop to negative 200.
It's very difficult to cultivate goodwill.
Absolutely avoid losing favor with them.
Therefore, Xiaobai had already implicitly given up on Deepsea Kaga in his mind.
But to Xiaobai's utter surprise, even though she had given up all hope of recruiting Deep Sea Kaga, Deep Sea Kaga actually came to her on her own initiative.
This turn of events put Xiaobai in a very difficult position.
I agree... I'm afraid Akagi Fukami won't be happy.
I disagree... but the temptation of adding another item to the encyclopedia is really strong.
After much thought, the most compromise Xiaobai could come up with was to let Deepsea Kaga discuss it with Deepsea Akagi herself. If Deepsea Akagi objected, then it wouldn't be too late for Xiaobai to reluctantly let Deepsea Kaga return to the sea. If Deepsea Akagi agreed... at least this matter would be considered as having her consent, and Xiaobai felt that it would be easier for Deepsea Akagi to accept it.
Seeing that Xiaobai didn't say anything more, even though he was puzzled, Shenhai Kaga could only silently withdraw his gaze and turn to look at the bathroom.
Kaga silently awaits Akagi's emergence from her bath.
"Admiral, Admiral... I just heard..." York and Baltimore tiptoed past Abyssal Kaga to Shiro's side, whispering in her ear, "Did she just say she wanted to join our naval base...?"
"Shh." Xiaobai raised her index finger to silence the two ship girls. "We shouldn't interfere with what happens next. Let them decide for themselves."
"Huh? Is recruiting a Deep Sea Dean really that complicated?" York exclaimed in surprise.
"Sigh... It's hard to explain in a few words, that's just how human relationships are." York had no idea about the deal between Deep Sea Akagi and Xiaobai, and Xiaobai didn't know where to begin explaining it to York either. She could only smile helplessly at York, take her hand, and sit down on the bed together. "Let's wait."
"Oh, oh, oh." York was pulled up by Xiaobai's hand, and immediately shut his mouth obediently, sitting on the bed with Xiaobai.
The room gradually quieted down, and no one spoke.
Xiaobai, along with the two ship girls and Abyssal Kaga, stared longingly at the lights in the bathroom.
In the bathroom, a slender and hazy figure appeared and disappeared. Time passed second by second amidst the rushing sound of the shower. Finally, after an agonizing wait, with a creak, the sound of the showerhead in the bathroom finally stopped, and the glass door of the bathroom was gently pushed open.
Akagi Fukami emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
"Akagi Akagi!" Kaga Akagi ...
"At least let me change my clothes first..." Before Akagi could speak to the person in the room, she was shoved against the wall by Kaga's force. Her entire body was slightly suspended in the air by Kaga's power. Akagi forced a helpless smile, then raised her hand and patted Kaga's head. "I'm not the same as before. I can no longer withstand your power, so you'd better be gentle with me..."
"I have something to say!" Kaga Akagi lifted his head from Akagi Akagi's chest and said with bright eyes.
"What is it? Is it about the future rule of the deep-sea territory? I remember I told you this before I came to the human world."
“Not that one.” Fukami Kaga shook her head, then pulled out a hand and pointed at the little white figure on the bed, “Her!”
"What's wrong, my lord?"
"I want to go with her too!" Kaga Shinkai said with bright eyes. "We'll go together!"
"..." Akagi was stunned.
"Is it okay...?" Kaga Fukami's expression softened instantly, and she asked pitifully.
"...What did the master say?" Akagi Fukami didn't give a direct answer right away. She was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Shiro and asked Kaga Fukami.
"She said I have to ask you. You have to agree first," Kaga Fukami honestly replied.
"...Does it have to be my consent...?" Akagi Fukami's gaze flickered a few times, and she murmured with a hint of melancholy before looking away.
"Hmm." Kaga from Akagi took Akagi's arm.
Deeply in love, Akagi gently touched Kaga Fukami's forehead. Unexpectedly, she didn't show any bad expression, but instead gave her a wry smile.
"Do you agree?" Kaga Fukami asked.
"Originally, I wanted to advise you that the human world is far more treacherous than the ocean, and the malice carried by the humans here is far beyond the reach of deep-sea creatures... But after thinking about it, I realized you wouldn't listen to me." Akagi pursed her lips, gently stroking Kaga's hair with her fingers, a hint of relief showing in her complex gaze. "Since you're willing to come... what can I say?"
As Akagi's voice faded from the depths of the sea.
Kaga's eyes lit up instantly.
"She agreed! She agreed!" Kaga Akagi put down Akagi Akagi, raised her hands high, and ran towards Shiro.
"Then congratulations, Ms. Akami Kaga, on joining our naval base and becoming one of us." Shiro raised his hands to Akami Kaga as she ran over and warmly shook her outstretched hands. "From now on, we're family, so let's get along well."
Kaga nodded, picked up Shiro and spun around in one spot, then put Shiro down and pounced on York and Baltimore on the bed. The three of them immediately rolled around on the bed, making quite a scene.
Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the lively scene.
Xiaobai thought that Akagi would be as opposed as before to Akagi going with him...
Unexpectedly, overcoming this hurdle in the Deep Sea Akagi was easier than I had imagined.
As Xiaobai was thinking, she heard soft footsteps beside her.
Xiaobai turned her head and saw that Akagi Fukami, wearing a bath towel, had walked up to her. She stopped in front of her, holding the bath towel to her chest with one hand. Her black hair was neatly spread behind her, and her red eyes had a faint blush on them, along with a faint smile of satisfaction.
After her bath, Akagi's body scent seemed much fresher than before, a truly delightful aroma.
Xiaobai stared at Akagi's face for a long time.
Judging from Akagi's expression... it seems she hasn't lost any favorability points.
"Akagi, I didn't force her." Shiro looked away with relief, but still explained to Akagi as if afraid she might misunderstand.
"Yes, I see." Akagi Fukami nodded slightly, her crimson eyes gentle as water. "If she were coerced... or persuaded by the master, Kaga Fukami wouldn't behave this way."
"Hehe." Xiaobai laughed happily.
In any case, things ultimately developed in the direction that Xiaobai liked.
Congratulations, congratulations.
Chapter 2399 First Encounter, Love at First Sight
Before spending the night, Xiaobai and the ship girls discussed the clothing of the two Abyssal Deans.
After losing her Abyssal Ship Suit, Abyssal Akagi could no longer be summoned. Now she was wearing a white dress prepared for her by the cult. During the months she was imprisoned, this white dress accompanied Abyssal Akagi to sleep.
Xiaobai definitely wouldn't recommend that Deepsea Akagi continue wearing such unlucky clothes.
So Xiaobai borrowed another set of pajamas from Baltimore's ship equipment and gave it to Abyssal Akagi to change into. Then she carefully folded the dress that Abyssal Akagi had taken off and put it into her ship equipment space. It is worth mentioning that although Abyssal Akagi and Abyssal Kaga have completely different personalities, they are indeed rare Abyssal sisters. Their body curves are almost identical. They are the kind of wonderful type that has both the lightness and slenderness of a young girl and the curvaceousness of a mature woman.
After this brief interlude, it was evening.
In Peicheng at night, the stars in the sky are dazzling, and the streets are still bustling with people, with a constant stream of tourists searching for the whereabouts of the Dean of the Deep Sea.
Inside the hotel room, Xiaobai and the ship girls said goodnight to the two Abyssal Deans in their sleeping bags before lying down on their beds.
The lights go out.
The room was dark.
The Dean of the Deep Sea Academy was quietly sitting under the bed.
Xiaobai chatted idly with the ship girls on the bed. After a while, the two ship girls' replies gradually lost strength and their voices became indistinct. Finally, they each lay down beside Xiaobai and fell into a satisfied sleep.
—Kantai Collection girls are so nice.
Even with ship equipment, ship girls can still get sleepy enough.
Still full of energy, Xiaobai lay surrounded by two ship girls. Listening to the sound of breathing beside her, she couldn't help but sigh.
Xiaobai's insomnia has not been cured to this day.
Previously, because of her marriage ships like Missouri, Abyssal Yamato, or Little Changchun, Xiaobai could channel her excess mental energy into their ship equipment before going to sleep, thus feeling tired and sleepy. But now that they are not by her side, over time, the slowly increasing mental energy will make Xiaobai lose all sleepiness and unable to sleep at night.
It has been almost a week since Shiro left Yamato's side in the deep sea.
Seven days.
This is probably the limit of how long Xiaobai can fall asleep at night when acting independently. Once this time is exceeded, Xiaobai will be plagued by endless insomnia symptoms.
Seven days...
Little Shiro has already started to miss her older sister Yamato, Missouri, and the embrace of Little Changchun.
Longing at night is often extremely agonizing.
In particular, Xiaobai has more than one person she misses.
Time passed slowly as Xiaobai tossed and turned in bed.
After an unknown amount of time, in order to alleviate the torment in her heart, Xiaobai turned her head to the side and pressed her face into the soft pillow.
Then.)
