Blowing snow house, ten o'clock in the evening

“…… Asleep, huh? ”

If you fall asleep, you won't be able to play.

Looking at Akula, who had collapsed in his arms and began to pout, the Admiral smiled awkwardly at the girls around him.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Akula seemed to have a fairly good sleeping habit, yawning at eight or nine o'clock. When ten o'clock came, he fell headlong into the admiral's arms and fell asleep.

And seeing Akula sleeping soundly, the Admiral was embarrassed to keep playing like this. Picked up the little girl slightly, and then looked at the blowing snow with a confused gaze.

Fuyuki also immediately turned off the game's stereo, and pointed to a room at the end of the hallway, indicating that this was Akula's room.

Thanks, I'll settle her first. ’

After watching Blowing Snow make this lip shape, the Admiral slowly picked up Akula and moved over the room.

Although it was said that the address of the house should have been assigned yesterday, because something happened that no one can recall, it can only be assigned tonight. Once the Admiral had identified Akula's room, he picked up the sleeping girl and walked over to the room, ready to settle her.

The remaining three people picked up the controller and played again. However, since the main admiral had already gone to settle Akula, in a matter of minutes, everyone was gloriously declared dead.

"Let's think that's it for today."

Looking at the words on the screen that were completely gameover because of the departure of the Admiral, Ruifeng also yawned. Looking at the blowing snow and saying:

"This game won't be over for a while, so let's talk about our room with Yamato."

"Hmm, Ruifeng's words should be the first room on the left side of the second floor. She should be the second on the left. The first one on the right is my room, and the second one is the storage room, which can't be occupied. ”

"Huh? So where does the Admiral live? ”

Listening to this assignment, Ruifeng blinked a little strangely.

On the first floor, in addition to Akula's room, there is a bathroom, a kitchen, and a balcony. You can't let the Admiral sleep on the balcony in this environment, right? He's human.

"It's okay, I'll just sleep on the tatami mats. Anyway, this kind of floor can also be used directly as a bed, can it? ”

After placing Akula. The Admiral came out of the room and heard the conversation, and immediately said:

"I personally don't care about that, just get me a quilt when the time comes. Or is it actually no longer possible to live on tatami mats? ”

"Huh? It's okay, it's okay. But how to say it......"

Fuyuki showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

Although she herself sleeps on this tatami mat at home, it is also slightly rude to let guests sleep on it.

She's not a Grande kind of person, and no one will see her guests happy on old tatami mats. It's better to say that there is an embarrassment.

…… It's definitely not because I'm constantly rolling on it for fear of being smelled by the Admiral or something.

After thinking about it carefully, the girl gritted her teeth slightly. I'm afraid of him with a hammer. Anyway, it's all his people in the future. Why do you care so much?

"Totally sleepable. As long as you don't dislike it. ”

"No, it's better to say that it's too good here in Guam back then."

"Huh? What was Guam like back then? ”

Let's just say it.

Ruifeng and Yamato, who were about to go upstairs, looked at the admiral with a painful face with some curiosity.

Even Blowing Snow couldn't hold back, standing in place as if he didn't care, and cast a slightly curious gaze.

"Actually, there's not much to say."

Thinking about it carefully, neither Xue Ruifeng nor Yamato came from the first sequence, and the admiral didn't think much about it, so he directly told the situation at that time.

"At that time, there was nothing on the Pacific Island, and I basically slept on iron beds. The straw was there, and there were some broken cotton wool and other things that were sewn together and fell asleep. There is nothing worth saying. ”

"Also, the rooms are in tatters. And at that time, I didn't think of using subspace to repair the house, nor did I think that there would be any technology to supplement and save anything. It's just hard to get through it.,For a while, I really thought that I might die at any time.。 ”

"In addition to salted fish and kelp, I can't find anything else to eat, even wild vegetables are very few, so I can only find some place to grow mushrooms. It's only been less than a month and a half since this kind of life, so I'm still very satisfied with this kind of life, don't worry, it's better to say that I'm happy now. ”

“……”

Let's go to bed first.

Looking at the admiral with a bittersweet face, Ruifeng shuddered, and quickly left the unsettling room with Yamato, who was also a little embarrassed.

Because of the unexpected feeling of being very serious and not suitable for jokes, the two of them were very embarrassed not to break the silence maintained by the Admiral, but secretly ran upstairs to prepare to leave this embarrassing place.

But when Blowing Snow also wanted to tiptoe upstairs, he was suddenly stopped by the admiral who came to his senses.

"Eh, wait a minute, don't go, Captain Blowing Snow?"

“…… What are you going to do? ”

"Why did you suddenly use you?"

The Admiral looked at the respectful girl in front of him with some puzzlement, and smiled a little awkwardly.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask, is there any beer in the refrigerator now?"

"Huh? Ah, two more listens, what's wrong? ”

"It's nothing, I'm used to drinking a little bit at night to refresh myself."

"What a strange habit......"

I'll help you find it, don't move.

Blowing Snow shrugged, and there was no need to refuse anything. He stumbled down the stairs, opened the refrigerator and rummaged through the food pile.

As if to find a topic, the girl, who was rummaging through the food pile, suddenly said to the Admiral, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for a beer:

"Still. I feel that people like you are really rare, in every sense of the word. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you trying to be sarcastic about me? ”

If I did something wrong, then I apologize.

Watching the blowing snow come over with a bottle of beer after closing the refrigerator. The Admiral said very seriously, but in exchange for Blowing Snow's slightly flustered wave of his hand.

"No, it's not that you've done anything wrong, it's that I think it's really weird."

"What's weird?"

"Because you see, isn't this kind of thing very important to the Admiral? Isn't there often a great sense of possessiveness? ”

Blowing Snow threw a bottle of beer to the Admiral, and he swayed to the balcony with his hands in his pockets, looking at the man in front of him who pulled the tab a little strangely.

It's only been a day, though. But a considerable degree of stuff has been seen. At least Blowing Snow can be sure that he is definitely not the kind of person who only pays lip service.

And the most important thing is that he really doesn't have the feeling of treating the ship's mother as an object or a slave. It's just a simple care and communication.,This peaceful and simple attitude makes Blowing Snow feel unusually strange.。

This is not to say that there are no such people in human society, but such people are generally newcomers, or have been employed for less than five years. Sooner or later, it will become the same apathy. Because sooner or later, you will be familiar with this set of processes. Sooner or later, it will be the same as it was. Will get used to it.

The only one who does this at the governor level is the Admiral.

"It's like at lunchtime, and the guy talks as if he was treating Yamato as an object. You say you don't support it, but in your heart you should also be disgusted with this kind of thing that your ship's mother was snatched away by others, right? ”

"Of course, no one likes their crush to be snatched away by another person, right?"

What a quick answer.

Fuyuki looked at the man sitting on the sofa with some surprise.

She thought he was the kind of person who was more twisted, and such a categorical answer really surprised her.

"Still."

The Admiral sat on the sofa and frowned and thought about it, and said with some dejection:

"If they want to, then it's uncomfortable. I'm afraid I'll have to accept it. ”

“…… Ha? Won't you stop it? ”

"Why are you holding back?"

"That's your ship's mother, why don't you stop it?"

"If it's fraud or other means of stealing. I'm going to tear that person to shreds without saying a word. But if they think about it......"

Faced with Blowing Snow's incredulous expression, the Admiral scratched his face a little embarrassed, looked at the ceiling, and said with some emotion:

"If they had broken away from me with their own determination, I would have had to let go."

“…… Why? ”

"After all, to me, you are like a daughter."

Carrying the beer can, the Admiral stood up and walked out to the balcony, leaned against the iron railing, and said in a leisurely voice:

"Every time I see a girl coming out of that machine, I have a very special touch. In the beginning, there was a kind of 'Ah, is this the person who will be with me for the rest of my life?' That's the feeling, but it's not like that. ”

"You are indeed very strong and very assertive. But there is always a common sense and naïve side. It's like a little girl who wants to prove that she can stand alone.,Always make some unexpected behaviors.,And then don't care about the catastrophe.,Instead, I smiled and asked for credit.。 ”

"So I've had this idea since a long time ago, I can't let you go, I have to protect you. If I don't protect you anymore, who can protect you? It's really strong, but it's also cute. Just looking at your face makes me feel happy, and I don't want you to be exposed to those negative things, that's what I think. ”

"You're my thing, and I haven't even thought about it once. I want to protect you, I want to spoil you, I want to hold you and rub your face with stubble, and listen to your complaints and troubles. I want to pull your face and listen to your shouts and apologize. I'll be sad if one day I have to leave me, but if it's your own sincere request, I'll let you go. ”

"If this is 'love', then I do love you. Everyone 'loves'. ”

“……”

Look at the Admiral leaning on the balcony and looking at the moon. Fuyuki opened her mouth in amazement, barely pulling out a playful smile.

"Can I take this as your harem manifesto? Open a harem openly? ”

"Hahaha, if you want to say that, it looks like that. It sounds like a scumbag. ”

The Admiral laughed twice and shook his head.

"But how can there be such a thing in this world? If my girls can be happy and have no regrets for their lives, then I will be happy. That's what I want. After all, how can there be a father who wants his daughter to be wronged? If anyone hurts my daughter, I won't let it go until I die. ”

“……”

Fuxue was stunned, and looked at the man in front of him who was carrying a beer and drinking it in small sips.

Compared to human beings, the mental state of the ship girl is stable and there is something extremely unstable.

The ship's mother will maintain the original immature mentality while maintaining the same life of the admiral. But human beings will always grow up and mature.

What was thought to be right will be thought to be incorrect. The idea that the green onion was immature will become more and more mature. And what could not be done will gradually be able to be done, in the palm of your hand.

"Knot, in the end it is still a harem declaration? And treat everyone as your daughter. That's too arrogant, isn't it? For example, me and Yamato, can you still watch the two of us as daughters? It's impossible to think about it, right? ”

Shaking his head and throwing aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Blowing Snow snorted on the railing, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"We used to have other admirals. I have also seen many things and the ugliness of the world. You're too arrogant to want to be our father. ”

“……”

Looking at the blowing snow, Admiral Ming did not question anything, but leaned on the balcony and looked at the sky, raised his hand and drank the beer.

Then he looked at the dim moonlight and showed a clean smile.

"Really? That might be a deal. ”

“……！！！”

"Forget it, it's not early, you should go to bed early."

Wouldn't it be nice to disturb other people?

Looking at the somewhat frustrated blowing snow, the Admiral smiled slightly. Reaching out to touch her head. But looking at the inexplicable gaze that came over after Blowing Snow covered his head and took two steps back, he shrank back with a sneer.

Facing the girl who seems to be a little wary. The Admiral sighed as if feeling a little lonely. He spread the thin blanket he had bought on top of himself, lay down on the floor of the room, nodded at the blowing snow, and signaled that he was ready to sleep.

"Goodnight, then, blowing snow."

"Well, good night."

Looking at the Admiral who was lying on the tatami mat and preparing to sleep, Fukiyuki sighed and closed the partition door.

Then, the girl leaned lightly against the door and quietly looked at the dark sky overhead. After a long time, he sighed slightly.

“…… Ha. ”

Reaching out and caressing the slightly shady partition, Blowing Snow's eyes flickered, looking at the dim sky with a slight blankness.

Because of the fog caused by the Great War, even the bright stars recorded in the poem could not be seen. But Fuyuki was extremely grateful for the dark and silent atmosphere, and thankful that the dark sky did not bring her any embarrassing thoughts.

Only in this way, in this warm and indulgent darkness like her mother, can she truly think about her own heart. Only in this way, in the silent night, can I listen to the breathing of the man in the room gradually become smoother, and a steady timbre echoes in her eardrums.

“…… Good night, Admiral. ”

The girl whispered to the people inside the door.

There was one thing that Blowing Snow hid from him and didn't tell him.

The ship's mother is not the kind of race that is prone to physical fatigue. Just like in Guam, they don't sleep at all if they want to.

And now, after listening to the Admiral's words, I don't know how many ship girls are leaning against their respective doors and staring blankly at the black sky.

It's nice to have a night without stars.

Even if his face was flushed, no one could see it.

However, I'm afraid that it is because of this posture that this kind of ending will lead to this, right?

Is this feeling jealousy? ’

Pressing his chest, Blowing Snow sat outside the door, looking at the dim moonlight, quietly thinking about something.

Neither his nor his own. (To be continued......)
