"Nothing. There aren't many opportunities to attack. I can only watch Firefly and the others. This can be considered as... proving the necessity of my existence." "Of course, the kids like you very much." The little conductor pointed at two little girls waving at them not far from the house, "Don't keep them waiting too long." The monarch nodded, said a simple goodbye and left the command room. The brief smile on his face made Su Xin feel somewhat emotional. "Hmm... She was obviously awkward before, but she should be fine now, right? I saw her say hello to Guanghui sister yesterday, so I guess there's nothing serious." Tiancheng didn't respond. He aligned the documents and handed them to Su Xin. "But there's no time to chat. If you want to free up the afternoon, you have to finish your work before lunch." Su Xin sighed briefly, took the document and began to word her reply. She really had no time to rest, as she had endless documents to review and countless annoying visit requests every day. The side effects of this forced socializing gave her a headache, especially when she met shameless people. After she rejected them once, they would send them again the second time. She finally had less work to do today and wanted to take the opportunity to relax, but the message from Kewei forced her back to the command room to work. The reason was simple. Blücher, who was a few days late, would come in the afternoon, and it was said that... he would bring a friend with him who had a slightly weird personality.
“Are you okay…?” "It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to worry about it. These are all accidents. Who would have thought that a train would be delayed, a car would break down, a landslide would occur, or a road would collapse?" "I, I actually... don't think it's an accident..." "Then do you have any evidence? For example... why did we arrive safely?" "...I have no idea……" "Yes, doesn't this mean that those things have nothing to do with you? So, don't worry too much about it~" The white-haired beauty with heterochromatic eyes looked frustrated. "Actually...actually, I just thought that maybe we could arrive safely, but you ended up getting your hand burned..." Blücher sighed, "Elbing, you really don't have to think like that. The driver turned a corner and knocked over the thermos. That was force majeure." Iron-Blooded Light Cruiser Elbing sighed and looked at the open port gate in front of him. "Is this the port area you are about to join...?" "That's not certain. Commander Su might not want me to join because he sees that I don't have much record. Then I'll have no choice but to go back~" "How could it be..." Elbing held Blücher's hand, "You are much better than me! You, your interview will definitely go smoothly this time--" "Ah! Quick, quick, get out of the way! I can't control myself--!" The two Iron Blood ships, which had not yet entered the port gate, were knocked into the air by a strange creature that was speeding towards them, flipped three and a half times, and fell to the ground. Blücher: ??? Elbing: QA Q The offender, who was also lying on the ground, rubbed his butt, then climbed up and picked up the long board-like object, turned around and apologized, "Yes, I'm sorry! I was too proud of myself, so..." "No, no..." Elbin didn't bother to clean the dust and bowed as well, "It's all my fault for saying those blessings..." "How can it be your fault? I was too happy and drove without a license..."
"But...but this is really my fault. If only I had stayed at home..." After getting up, he slowly patted the gray Blücher and looked at the two guys in front of him who were frantically admitting their mistakes. Fortunately, the maid reported in time. Kewei, who had taken off her shoes and crossed her legs to play with her mobile phone in front of Su Xin, quickly put on her high heels and dragged the little commander over. "Lu Bu!" "Bru! Not Lu Bu!" Blucher retorted subconsciously, and waved at his good sister, "Sorry for being late. I should have arrived two days ago." Elbing felt even more guilty, "It's all because of me..." Blücher rushed over to hug her, "No, no, it's force majeure. Don't be discouraged. Look, Commander Su is here too." Elbing bowed hurriedly, "Hmm?! N-Never meet you! I have thin armor and weak firepower. My only advantages are high speed and long sailing time. I don't have any active ship experience..." Su Xin was shocked. Who would belittle themselves first when meeting someone? And the way this person in front of me speaks... I always feel like she's just like my own timid maid. Elbin's attitude was rather distant, so the young commander naturally became reserved as well. "Well... it's our first meeting, may I ask..." "Iron Blood's light cruiser Elbing, just ignore me... I'm useless anyway..." It was obvious that Kewei had never seen such a scene before. He winked at his good friend and Blücher spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do. Su Xin was quite experienced. After all, she had coaxed Dido before, so she was quite adept at comforting Elbin at this moment. "Elbing, huh? Don't be nervous. You and Blücher are welcome to be our guests. Just now...ah, Changchun, you ran too fast. Teacher Yubari asked you to go back and measure the data." "Oh oh..." Changchun scratched his head and smiled at them embarrassedly, "Don't tell Sister Yixian, okay? She will pull my ears..." "Well, that depends on whether you cooperate next time." "Cooperate with me, I'll go find Dr. Yubari right away!" Su Xin watched the first person in the harbor run away quickly and shook her head helplessly, "Sorry, she might be too excited. Are you all right?" "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not that fragile." Blücher smiled widely. "Are you going to take us on a tour now? Or do you want to take a rest?" Su Xin glanced at Kewei who winked at her, "...Well, let's take a break first, how about having dinner before going shopping?" Blücher nodded. "I'm fine with that. What about Elbing?" "Eh? I...? I, I just hope I won't cause you any more trouble next time——Hmm?!" Before Elbin could realize that he had said the wrong thing, a torpedo suddenly flew over from a distance and was about to hit Su Xin's head. In a flash, the young commander seemed to have eyes behind his back. He lowered his head and raised his hand, and accurately caught the round top of the torpedo. Su Xin: "...Um, for training? How come it flew so far... Uh, um, is my face... dirty?" Elbing: "(*mouth*)~+"
Chapter 1018: Waiting and Harvest As a ship girl, Elbing is actually not very old. She woke up from the sea at the end of last year. She was less than a year old at most, but she had experienced more tragedies than most people. I don’t know if God can’t stand her, but no matter what Elbin thinks or does, the result is always the opposite. I prayed that I could reach the shore safely, but I encountered a storm and lost my way. Hopefully it will be sunny next, but there will be no sunshine for three or four consecutive days. I thought it would be nice if I could meet the ship girl who was out on a commission, but from the time she was born to the time she docked, I didn't see a single one of her. Exhausted, Elbin finally stepped onto the land and thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but when he passed the alley, he was knocked down by someone and the glass door of the snack bar was smashed. She didn't have a penny on her, and the store owner was afraid she would evade compensation, so he refused to let her go. After a long argument, Blücher, who was handing out leaflets not far away, paid the money to settle the matter for her. Elbin was so moved that he thought he must repay the other party, so he took the initiative to step forward and wanted to help distribute flyers. "She is so kind, she will definitely be rewarded..." Elbing, holding the flyer, had just finished sighing when the shop that hired Blücher cancelled his salary for the day on the grounds that he had "left his post at will." Looking at the surprised and disappointed benefactor, Elbin seemed to realize something, pursed his lips and stopped talking. But how could Blücher be defeated by such a minor difficulty? She is an optimist and is passionate about everything. Even when facing Elbing, a stranger, her liveliness remains undiminished. "You are... Elbing, right? Since we meet, why don't we be friends?" Blucher, with long creamy yellow hair, smiled, his eyes almost invisible. Elbin, feeling extremely guilty, could not bear such enthusiasm. He had no choice but to stay because he had not yet repaid the favor. He planned to repay the favor before leaving to avoid causing trouble for the other party. I just didn't expect that I would stay for half a year. In the past eight months, not only did she fail to repay the kindness, but she also owed countless debts. The two of them went looking for a job, and as long as Elbin prayed in his heart that it would go smoothly, the job would definitely not go smoothly. As the two of them went to accept the commission, Elbin couldn't help thinking that he hoped the goods would not be lost. When he inspected the goods after delivery, he found that 20% were indeed missing. Even eating was not peaceful, and Blücher would eat something strange every now and then. The steel wire that falls off when washing the pot with a steel wool, the broken pieces of packaging bags that were not handled properly, the screws that appear out of nowhere, the white rice that appears at the bottom of the bowl after eating the noodle soup... Elbin thought to himself that he was a disaster. Wherever he went, he would affect people who had nothing to do with him. She was sad and scared, and tried to sneak away more than once, but because she couldn't control her expression well, she was discovered by Blücher every time. The two of them can't play the kind of sad drama where they lied and left because they had a terminal illness and forgot about each other. Blucher did not let things develop to that point. Instead, she calmed Elbing's emotions with her cheerfulness in time.
She felt it was necessary because everyone needs friends, and even if Elbin was more magical, it could not affect her desire to make friends. This enthusiasm touched Elbin so much that he felt even more guilty. He prayed for his good friend every day. As a result, various accidents happened every day. The two of them are getting worse day by day, but their relationship is still good. Until recently, Blücher was invited by a commander to join the port area. To be honest, Elbin should be happy. Although she was not invited, she should certainly bless her good friend to have a public meal. But she didn't dare to be happy, she was afraid that she would ruin the matter again. She didn't dare to curse back, because if it really came true, she would be so ashamed that she would be speechless. So Elbing thought of escaping again. She knew that what she was doing was wrong, and she also knew that the other person would be sad, but only if she left and stopped thinking about her good friend, would the other person's life get better. So Elbing ran away secretly, after Blücher shared her joy and said someone had given her a ticket to a rock concert. You see, I decided to leave, so her luck slowly returned. Elbin hid at the beach, squatting behind a rock in a daze. Couples who came for a walk occasionally passed by, and when they saw her they would be stunned and then look at her with pity. After walking away, I swore to the people around me that they would be together forever and happily. Elbin wanted to explain himself, but he didn't dare to speak, fearing that his concern would bring misfortune to these lovers. She could only try to empty her mind and think of nothing, listening to the sound of the tide rising and falling and looking at the dim, dim stars in the night sky. Her phone kept ringing, but she didn't dare answer it. Later it became a WeChat message, accompanied by a notification sound and a vibration every three or two seconds Elbin was panicking. He didn't know what his good friend would say to him. Why was he shaking all the time? Was he worried about her or scolding her? After ringing for about ten minutes, the phone fell silent. She had some peace and quiet, but she still felt uncomfortable. Finally, she secretly unlocked her phone, thinking that she would turn it off after taking a look. In the information list, apart from the columns such as [News], [Subscription Account], and [Sports], there is only Blücher, who is her only social contact. The message box with the note [Little Lu Bu] shows the latest one. It doesn’t have many words, but it’s quite direct. [I didn't promise him, come back soon, what are we going to eat today?] "...Ugh, still...still can't do it...? Later, Elbing came back obediently, looking dejected like a puppy that had been straying for a long time, and was fed to his heart's content by Blücher, who was filled with joy. "Hehehe...Today's concert was awesome! It was just a pity that the royal lady didn't have an extra ticket, otherwise we could have gone together. Although her good friend did not mention what happened just now, Elbin could not ignore it and asked her weakly: "Why...why didn't you go..." "Hmm? Didn't I tell you?" Blücher pushed Elbing away slightly and patted her shoulders with both hands. "We agreed to stay together forever~ He said he only wanted me to join, but of course I wouldn't agree~"
"But, but no one will want me like this..." "Who said that? I'm not as good as you. I was hit by coastal artillery and torpedoes continuously, and I exploded and sank. It's so embarrassing that I don't even dare to talk about it." "I, I was bumped into by accident... I also..." "So, we are the best partners! We can't be separated. Besides, good things come to those who wait. Maybe there will be a commander willing to accept us, who are unlucky enough?" Elbin pinched his fingers in frustration, "I... I will definitely be ignored... and if I cause trouble, I will be kicked out..." "Hey, then find someone who doesn't mind and won't be troubled~" Blücher touched his chin, "Hmm...should I find someone who has super~super good luck? Or maybe look at lottery winners?"
