"Have you already passed the junction?" Zero glanced at the chart, and then asked, "In other words, has the Admiral already arrived in the waters of Beizhou first?"

"Yes. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" At the other end of the communicator, Lie nodded. When the space was transferred, Lie directly transferred himself into the waters of Beizhou, planning to rub off the imprint injected into his body and then meet his ship mother and the deep sea.

"Understood. Zero nodded, and then asked, "Does the Admiral have any other orders?"

"That," the matter was basically finished, Lie thought for a moment and asked, "Is Katyusha here?"

"Katyusha?" Zero glanced to the side, there was a circle of ships and the deep sea around him, and Katyusha was there.

"Lord Lie. "Shi Shiran, Katyusha came over.

On the other end of the communicator, Lie heard Katyusha's voice and said to her, "Katyusha, I may have to wait a while to see your admiral... I'm really sorry, but after entering the waters of Beizhou, I still need Katyusha to follow everyone, and I can't go to your admiral immediately. ”

"Huh?" Katyusha tilted her head, then smiled and said it was okay.

"It's good to understand... I will definitely meet with the Admiral of Katyusha!" Lie's expression was very serious, and he said, "I believe that day will not be far away. ”

"Yes, Katyusha believes it will be soon. With a mysterious smile on her lips, Katyusha stepped back.

Lie then ordered a few more words, then hung up the communicator, straightened up and stretched.

"Hmm~" Lie raised his head, and said that the sky in the Beizhou Sea is very good. Although it is also shrouded in dark red, you can occasionally see blue sky and white clouds, which is a scene that has hardly been seen in the Dongzhou Sea.

"Where are we going next? Admiral. Jiu put away the communicator, and was currently on a deserted island for the time being. The Admiral had just told her that this was the Beizhou Sea, and Jiu was still very curious about this place.

Because all the seas were heavily guarded by the Border Patrol Team, Zero rarely left the Dongzhou Sea with the fleet before the Admiral returned. Jiu is the same, he is very unfamiliar with the waters of Beizhou, and he has only paid more attention to it recently.

"Beiquan, that was the first stop I had scheduled to come to the waters of Beizhou. Lie turned around and said to Jiu: "Beiquan is a medium-sized city in the Beizhou Sea at the junction with the Dongzhou Sea, and it is also the largest city in the surrounding sea area, and it is located on a large island. ”

"When they arrived, they should have wiped out the imprint left by the emperor in their bodies, and they were just in time to join them. ”

"Before we do that, let's go find out. Lie paused for a moment, and then said to Jiu: "Actually, although the current situation is not expected, it is unexpectedly very good!"

The fire that had risen on the desert island was extinguished, and she didn't quite understand what the Admiral said. However, what Jiu could think of was that the time before he joined everyone was that Jiu was alone with the Admiral.

Thinking of this, Jiu's mood suddenly improved... Well, after all, it was an accident!

Humming a little song, Jiu cleaned up here, the admiral just said that he would spend the night here. A tent was set up, but fortunately, both the Admiral and the Nine were accustomed to this mode of camping on a desert island.

Inside the tent, the space inside was still very large, enough to accommodate four or five people, and Lie and Jiu looked very wide inside.

"Admiral, aren't you resting?" asked Jiu after making his bed.

You know, Jiu usually goes to bed on time, and drinks a glass of milk every day... It's still useful, Jiu found himself growing another centimeter taller in the last measurement!

The tent was lit with lights, and Lie sat in the corner, fiddling with a few small objects.

"Jiu, come and see. Lie seemed to have finally figured it out, so he called Jiu over.

Jiu, who had just changed into pajamas, walked over gently and knelt beside the Admiral. With doubts in his eyes, Jiu looked at the small objects that the Admiral was fiddling with, not knowing what to do.

It was just a few tea sets, and Lie put each part in a different position to make a simple chart!

"This is where Zero and the others are," Ryu explained, pointing to a teacup at the very edge, "and we're already around the border, and our position is completely beyond the border." ”

Finally, Lie pointed to the lid of a teacup and said, "This is our destination, Beiquan." ”

"Hmm~" Jiu still knows a lot about these, and after a little explanation, the Admiral understood the specific distribution, so he immediately asked: "Admiral, if you say that, the distance between us and you is not too far... It is not a short distance from Beiquan, and our resources and food supplies may not be able to hold up there. ”

Putting away the tea set, Lie explained, "It's not far away, but they still have to pass through the border patrol... Although there are some troubles, I believe that as long as they keep a low profile, there will be no problems..."

"As for the resources and supplies..."Lie lowered his head and said lightly: "There are still quite a lot of small deep-sea town guards around, so it's not easy to come here, let's go and be a guest... After all, it is still more convenient to have an artificial ship. ”

Jiu nodded, agreeing with the Admiral's words... Although Jiu has the ability to sail to the destination and be faster than the artificial ship, it is very tiring to say~.

At present, he was not very anxious, but Jiu saw that the Admiral had sorted out his belongings, and asked tentatively: "Then, Admiral, are you going to rest now?"

"Hmm. Lie replied softly, and then lay down in the corner.

"So, Admiral, put out the lights?"

"Hmm. Lie was already lying in his sleeping bag, leaning against the edge of the tent.

The lights in the tent are out.

“…”

“… Admiral?"

"Whew~" (slight breathing sound).

"Bang", the sound of a heavy object striking.

"Ahem~" Lie opened his eyes, and there was a somewhat angry Jiu in front of him.

The darkness is a good shield, but both the ship mother and the deep sea have night vision... With the Soul Network, Admiral is also equivalent to having night vision. Therefore, the dark space actually has no effect of blocking each other.

The space inside the tent was large enough to accommodate five or six people, but at this time, Lie and Jiu were in the corner. The two sleeping bags were very close together, to be exact, after Jiu had just slipped into his sleeping bag, because the Admiral did not react, so he bumped into it.

There was a slight light in his pupils, and he pouted, and Jiu just looked at the Admiral.

Unable to take his eyes off it, Lie blinked his eyes and was silent for a long time, wanting to say something.

"Shh~" Jiu shook his head and asked softly, "Can I sleep with the breath of the Admiral?"

“… Well. Lie came closer, touching Jiu's forehead.

The tent was quiet for a long time, only the sound of even breathing, and Jiu's eyes were closed.

…

I don't know how many levels passed, maybe ten minutes, maybe two hours, Jiu opened his closed eyes.

With his head slightly raised, Jiu saw the Admiral's face, which was very clear. The mouth of the sleeping bag was loosened, and Jiu stretched out his hands and straightened up slightly.

The petite palm shook in front of the Admiral's face, and there was no response, and the Admiral seemed to be asleep.

The index finger and thumb moved forward, clamped between the sides of the admiral's nose, and pinched.

“…”

After a while, Lie's face was a little red, and he shouted "cough cough" and opened his eyes.

With a "whoosh", Lie got up from his sleeping bag and looked at Jiu.

Because the body is close to an inhuman state, in fact, it is no problem not to breathe for a period of time... Jiu knew this, so he did what he had just done, but he didn't expect the Admiral's reaction to be a little big.

Jiu seemed to be frightened by the Admiral, and stepped back a little, lowering his head, not daring to look at the Admiral.

Lie looked at Jiu, wanting to raise his breath, but when he saw Jiu's face, he couldn't get any fire.

"It's fine. I didn't know what to say, so I comforted her and held up her head. The four looked at each other, and this time it was Jiu who looked away first.

"Admiral, are you awake?"

Lie was silent for a moment, and said "um".

"So," Jiu approached the Admiral again, almost completely out of his sleeping bag, hid in the Admiral's arms, and bit into the Admiral's ear, "Can you talk to Jiu?"

Holding the Admiral's hand with two small hands, Jiu said softly: "Since I became the Admiral's shipwive, I have never been so close... Is it because Jiu has always been too domineering?

Glancing at her body, Jiu is still very self-aware, in terms of strength and ability, everyone admires her, but if you want to talk about her body...

"Of course not!" Lie said affirmatively: "Jiu has always been very reliable, when the fleet began to take shape, thanks to Jiu's assistance on the side, this has come to this day step by step." ”

Therefore, no matter what Jiu wants to say or when he says it, the Admiral will listen carefully. ”

Jiu lay in the Admiral's arms, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth when he heard the Admiral's words. As a ship's mother, Jiu doesn't want much, and being able to live happily with the Admiral and his partners is already the biggest wish at the moment.

"Jiu wants to tell the Admiral what happened when the Admiral was away... Maybe it's a lot, okay?"

"Of course... Tonight, there's still a long time. ”

Holding the Admiral's hand, Jiu didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, but he knew that he was very happy at the moment. Perhaps, this accident was really good.

Soft-spoken, soft voice with a little sweetness... Lie didn't talk much, he kept listening, listening to the story told by Jiu. It turns out that when the ship girls are together, they really have a lot of joy.

Jiu said one thing after another, Lie knew that Grisha actually had a lot of fun and interesting places, knew that Purple Quartz had once again become the protagonist of the night talk, and knew... How did the ship girls spend those lonely times when they were away?

“…”

"At that moment, it was really fun... If you can, the Admiral will take us again, okay?"

Eventually, Jiu had a nightmare in the Admiral's arms, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Yeol kept looking at Jiu in her arms until she let out an even breathing sound... Outside the tent, there was already a white light, and a new day had arrived!
