Nana Hoshino was staring boredly at a group of cyborgs. She had changed into the traditional costume of the Mayans, a soft and smooth corset, and a cardigan was covered with dark green patterns, like vines spreading from a corner, and a white and gold badge pinned to her chest glittered in the light— The Mayan social organization is clearly defined, and this badge used to represent a person's level of authority, so that natural people can roughly distinguish who should listen to whom without testing, and it is more like a proof of ability and a symbol of identity, and now it is only a retro role.

In order to completely relocate Nana Hoshino's apartment from Tokyo, a total of two submarines and 120 cyborgs were dispatched, and it took three days to divide and disassemble them alone, and then transported here like a nuclear bomb, and it took more than 30 days to assemble them again - mainly because the layout of the base under the sea of Zealand was too compact, and the main structure had to be rebuilt in order to fit into this apartment, and even a planting area had to be demolished.

It's not troublesome to assemble, but it's very troublesome to make space, but Nana Hoshino made a request, and the artificial intelligence and cyborg led by Sebent worked hard and did their best to meet it, without complaining.

She is like a queen here, she does what she says, but she does not feel happy, but has been in a constant low mood, feeling that the loneliness in her heart is expanding day by day, and the loneliness is like a fierce beast that has bared its fangs at her, ready to swallow her at any time.

She gently shook the hand of Yayoi Satsuki beside her, and then she felt a little comforted. If it weren't for Yayoi Satsuki's willingness to follow her and be able to chat and talk with her normally, she would have been irritated and would have broken through the pressure circle of the submarine base and escaped.

It's just that Satsuki Yayoi has been a little sluggish in the past 20 days, and she can't even move coquettishly.

Nana Hoshino has always felt that she can endure loneliness, she has been at home alone since she was a child, Uesugi is busy with work, loves her and loves her, but she really can't spare much time to spend with her. She is also very well-behaved, just silently looking forward to Uesugi Xiang coming home soon, being able to accompany her more, and not making a big fuss about asking Uesugi to stay, she can only try to have fun by herself.

And after going to school, because Uesugi Xiang requires a low-key and different from the intelligence, personality and physical appearance of the earthlings, she doesn't deal with others, and she doesn't even have a living friend, until Naoto Yoshiwara came to the house, she tasted the first time in her life that someone accompanied her day and night - some things have not tasted or felt, and may have passed in a dazed ignorance, but after tasting it once, that taste will never be forgotten.

It may not be heart-wrenching if you have never received it, but if you have gained it and then lose it, it hurts to the bone marrow.

This is a true portrayal of the current Hoshino Nana. She longs for someone to talk to in her ear, she longs for someone who always talks back to her, she longs for someone to scold her, and even insult each other......

It's a pity that there isn't.

Nana Hoshino turned her head to look at the depressed Satsuki Yayoi, and felt a little apologetic in her heart - Satsuki Yayoi wilted, but it was not because she couldn't accept it that she suddenly appeared a futuristic underwater base full of science and technology. She has read too many comics, but she thinks that Nana Hoshino is quite like the protagonist in the comics, and she is super rich, so it is normal to be able to build an underwater base, but because it is so boring here, she feels suffocated after less than ten days of freshness.

Nana Hoshino hoped that Yayoi Satsuki would be happier, after all, the other party came to accompany her on purpose, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Yayoi, do you want us to go to the sea to play?"

Yayoi Satsuki tilted her head on her shoulder and asked, "Isn't Nana going to class in a while?"

Recently, Nana Hoshino has been learning the mainstream language on Maya, and Sebent has also assigned a lot of homework for other subjects, so she basically doesn't have much time to play with her.

"It's okay!" Nana Hoshino said, holding her, "Let's go catch a fish and come back and eat." "She has been in the Pacific Ocean for so long, she is a smart person, she has long been a good fisherman, and she has been fished twice, and she has a stubborn temper, and she will not let go of her fishing rod. It hurt Naoto Yoshihara to be busy for a while, and after beating the fish, he beat her.

Satsuki Yayoi blinked her small round eyes, and although she didn't think it was interesting—she wasn't as active as Nana Hoshino—she agreed, anyway, it was better than being bored here.

Nana Hoshino took Yayoi Satsuki's hand and turned around and left along the passage of the base, and casually ordered: "Kako, help me prepare to get on the floating tank, and Yayoi and I will go to the sea to play for a while." ”

Xiangzi immediately agreed cutely, but said in a blink of an eye: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the time being, Nana's family." ”

Nana Hoshino didn't stop and asked, "Is there a boat passing by nearby?"

"Yes, Nana-dear, Yoshihara-san is not far southeast of our heads. ”

"Who?" Nana Hoshino thought she was hallucinating, and her steps stopped suddenly, "Who's there?"

Kako reported in more detail: "It's Yoshihara-san, and he's hovering around our southeast in a small hybrid sailboat. ”

Nana Hoshino was taken aback: "He...... How did he find it here?"

Is the stupid dog's intelligence so high?

Satsuki Yayoi was also in good spirits, and said happily: "Is my uncle here?"

Is it possible to go back?

Kako seemed to be following the traces of Naoto Yoshiwara's past, but she didn't answer for a long time, and Nana Hoshino had already changed direction along the passage and led Satsuki Yayoi towards the main control room of the submarine base.

Along the way, the automatic doors open and close, the complex pipe lines are dense, and there is no one after entering the main control room, which is basically taken care of by Xiangzi, although the main control computer of the base is not quantum-type, but it is also a powerful supercomputer.

Nana Hoshino ordered, "Kako, open the hologram." ”

Xiangzi knew what her master wanted to see, and in an instant, the sea surface southeast of the base was mapped to the center of the main control room. Nana Hoshino's small hand slowly flicked to enlarge the holographic image, and finally stared at Naoto Yoshiwara's suspicious face and was stunned.

It's him! It's been a long time!

Under the holographic light and shadow, Naoto Yoshiwara is no different from a real person except for some distortion in color, and he seems to feel that he is being spied on, but he can't find anyone who is spying on him, wearing a diving suit and holding a harpoon gun behind a mast, looking up at the sky from time to time, and looking around from time to time, thief head thief.

Looking at his appearance, Nana Hoshino couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of her mouth, like a flower suddenly blooming, and sneered in a low voice that was weak and inaudible: "It's still stupid." ”

Naoto Yoshihara tossed there for a long time, but he still couldn't find the weak electric monitoring eye dense in the nearby sea, but he seemed to be convinced of his intuition, and after thinking about it, he became happy, dragged the compressed air bottle and carried it to his back, put on his flippers, bit the breathing apparatus and jumped into the sea with a "poof" of the harpoon gun.

Satsuki Yayoi became nervous, clenched her small fists tightly and asked, "Uncle is a little far away, right? Is the oxygen cylinder you brought enough to support swimming here?"

Nana Hoshino hurriedly reassured her: "Don't worry, he's still far away from us, and he's on the outskirts of the surveillance circle...... Also, Yayoi, the one used for diving is not an oxygen tank, it is a compressed air tank. ”

She thought that Satsuki Yayoi ran away from home and was afraid of being caught and scolded, and at the same time, she corrected some of Satsuki Yayoi's common sense mistakes by the way, but Satsuki Yayoi didn't care about these at all, and when she heard that Naoto Yoshihara couldn't swim up, she just let out a soft "oh", and there was a faint look of disappointment on Kodoka's face.

She has a habit of informing, and at this time she can't help but want to secretly tell Naoto Yoshihara where she and Nana Hoshino are, but the problem is that she is weak in communication with the outside world now, and all information has to pass through Kako's level, and she can't figure out where she actually is, only that she is at the bottom of the sea.

The saddest thing in the world is that you can't be a traitor, right?

Nana Hoshino didn't notice Yayoi Satsuki's strange appearance, and instructed Kako: "Send an underwater monitor to follow him, don't let him have any accidents...... How did he find out why?"

It's not surprising that Naoto Yoshiwara could think of going to the waters near New Zealand to take a look, because he knew that the independent base built by Sebent was in Zealand, but since Sealand is not a small place, it is half the size of China, almost nearly 5 million square kilometers, and it can find a place twenty or thirty kilometers away from them in a straight line, so it can't be said that a blind cat has met a dead mouse, right?

Kako replied: "Yes, Nana-kin, the underwater monitor has been dispatched! As for how Yoshihara-san found this place, there is no analysis result at present, but it can only be determined that he flew directly from Tokyo to New Zealand, bought a ship and sailed around the island, and then went straight to where we are."

Nana Hoshino felt her heart beat a little faster, and she didn't believe that Naoto Yoshiwara had any ability to track her tracks, and the only explanation was that Naoto Yoshiwara's beast-like intuition was working.

If there is one person in this world who understands Naoto Yoshihara, then this person is none other than Nana Hoshino. She stood there and made up what Yoshiwara Naoto had done - Yoshiwara Naoto circled around the island, thinking about finding her, trying all eight directions, and then picking a direction that felt the strongest and came.

Eight or nine is not far from ten, it is completely like his style, and he is very animalistic. This guy is usually like a big dog, but I didn't expect to chase people so well!

Thinking that Naoto Yoshihara could find a place so close to him by feeling, Nana Hoshino's little face was slightly hot, and she couldn't help but hold her face with her little hand - this guy, you didn't cherish it when you were there, and when you were gone, you started to work hard to find it again!

At this moment, there was no trace of Naoto Yoshiwara on the hologram, only the sailboat that had dropped its anchor and lowered its sail was spinning in circles there, but Nana Hoshino stared at this monotonous picture and still had no intention of leaving, and Yayoi Satsuki next to her was holding back her little face and trying to convey her thoughts to Naoto Yoshiwara.

These days, it's so hard to be a traitor.

Half an hour later, Nana Hoshino saw Naoto Yoshihara crawling back to the boat in a wet manner, and she didn't give up, and after throwing away the compressed air bottle, she dragged a long tube out of the cabin and connected it to the scuba apparatus, and then dragged the long tube into the sea again - probably the air pump at the other end, he should have wanted to search under the sea for a long time, which is more dangerous, and the water pressure will cause a great burden on the internal organs of the body.

Naoto Yoshiwara was still quite far from the base at this time, and he arrived at the scene with an underwater monitor, and he could only stare at Naoto Yoshiwara from a distance with heat induction, and he didn't dare to get too close.

After trying it too closely, Naoto Yoshiwara immediately seemed to have a feeling, and when he had limited vision and no hearing in the sea, he suddenly turned around and swam towards the underwater monitor, forcing the underwater monitor to withdraw far away.

Nana Hoshino just kept watching Naoto Yoshiwara toss around, and she could see the monotonous picture that couldn't even see the human form, and when Naoto Yoshiwara was exhausted and returned to the ship, she was even more refreshed.

And Naoto Yoshiwara lay on the bow of the boat and gasped for half an hour, and then began to circle around the boat again, Nana Hoshino pulled her eyebrows and muttered: "Stupid, it's better to be an underwater robot than to climb up and down by yourself......"

Naoto Yoshiwara seemed to have radar in his head, and he clicked on the talent to search for his missing daughter, and after three circles around the ship, he adjusted the course, and actually found the right position and began to advance in the direction of the base.

Satsuki Yayoi looked at the hologram and was secretly happy in her heart, and couldn't help but whisper: "Nana, is my uncle telepathic with you?"

"No way, who would have telepathy with him!" Nana Hoshino blushed, but her mouth was still hard.

Satsuki Yayoi believed in Nana Hoshino, she had the impression that Nana Hoshino had never lied, and suddenly she held her little round face in disbelief, and said half surprised and half shy: "That...... Is it with me? I don't feel anything!"

She tilted her head and bit her fingers to think about it, and hesitated: "Uncle has such a deep affection for me, I haven't paid attention to it." ”

Nana Hoshino's heart hurt for a while, and she said angrily, "Then do you want to go to him?"

Satsuki Yayoi hurriedly grabbed Nana Hoshino's arm and shook her head vigorously: "No, I'm with you, Nana!" I said it a long time ago, I will always advance and retreat with you, and I will never run away again. ”

She remembered that Nana Hoshino fought for her again, and she was afraid to testify afterwards. But as she spoke, a pair of round eyes looked at Naoto Yoshiwara's hologram without blinking, and her eyes were full of regret - what should I do, I still want to go to the inform! Telling my uncle isn't it a betrayal of Nana, everyone is originally a family, and it's been too long since I've been away from home, so it's time to go back, right?

At this time, Kako suggested: "Nana-pro, according to Yoshihara-san's course and search efficiency, if we don't do anything, he will find us in 167 to 234 hours...... Are you going to sink him?"

The main material of the base built by the cyborgs that Sebent secretly hid came from the wreckage of the prehistoric base, although it was not large, it was still relatively conspicuous at the bottom of the sea- In order to resist sea pressure, there is a layer of flowing gas-liquid compounds in the outer ring of the base, and the huge pressure generated by seawater is dispersed and introduced into the seabed through high-speed flow, so as to ensure that the base will not be flooded or flattened, and the difference between the gas-liquid compounds in this layer of high-speed flow and seawater is very obvious.

At present, this base must be kept secret, and Kako, from the perspective of the basic director, feels that it is best to sink the ship where Naoto Yoshihara is located far away, so as not to expose it.

Nana Hoshino narrowed a pair of fox eyes and looked at Naoto Yoshihara who was holding the rudder, while Yayoi Satsuki opened her eyes in surprise and said nervously, "Nana ......"

Nana Hoshino glanced at her, "Don't worry, I can't hurt him, I'm just thinking about how to hide it." After comforting Satsuki Yayoi, she ordered Kako, "Keep an eye on him, and when you find our heads, reduce the pressure resistance ring to the minimum power and unfold the holographic disguise...... Can you do it, Kako?"

Xiangzi calculated for a moment and then reminded: "It can be done, but lowering the pressure ring base will be seriously damaged, and it will take a lot of resources and manpower to start preparing the holographic camouflage of the whole base now, are you sure?"

"Sure, let's get ready!"

Here Nana Hoshino has the final say, and after Kako confirms it, she starts to assign tasks to the biochemical people, and Nana Hoshino feels hungry when she sees Naoto Yoshihara starting to eat canned food, and says to Yayoi Satsuki: "Let's go, Yayoi, let's go eat too." ”

Satsuki Yayoi reluctantly glanced at Naoto Yoshihara, and whispered with a small mouth: "Actually, if I go back now, my uncle shouldn't be angry, and at most he will scold us...... Let's just say it's my idea. ”

Naoto Yoshihara came to her, and Nana Hoshino was inexplicably in a much better mood, but she hesitated for a moment, but she still said ruthlessly: "Yayoi, we have decided to leave, so we can't change our minds half-heartedly." Let him look for it, if he can't find him, he will naturally go back. ”

She is such a stubborn person, and it is not easy to get her to change her mind.

"Okay!" Satsuki Yayoi glanced back at Naoto Yoshihara's hologram before being dragged away by Nana Hoshino.

After a period of time, the daily pastime of the two of them became to watch Naoto Yoshiwara jump into the sea, climb up, and jump into the sea again, and Naoto Yoshiwara searched in the sea alone It was very inconvenient, and this kind of thing could not be done by asking someone to do it, and passed by the base several times but was deceived by the holographic disguise.

But Nana Hoshino far underestimated Naoto Yoshihara's patience and persistence, as well as her trust in intuition, and she just hovered around her head for more than three months.

I went back to New Zealand four times to resupply in the middle, and left this sea twice in a daze, but soon I felt that something was wrong and ran back again.

Nana Hoshino and Yayoi Satsuki have already lived in an apartment, an apartment that is exactly the same as Nana Hoshino remembers, except for the loss of two people, it seems to be back to before, and Yayoi Satsuki saw that Naoto Yoshihara was looking for it so hard and was about to melt, and Nana Hoshino was shaken several times, but the little stubborn donkey lived up to his name, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Finally, one day at the end of the year, Nana Hoshino and Yayoi Satsuki looked at Naoto Yoshiwara's bearded and confused face on the sea, as if they felt that they had found the wrong place, or should they say that they would never find it.

The earth is so big, it's so difficult to find two children without clues.

Nana Hoshino saw Naoto Yoshiwara turn the boat around and leave, the look on her little face was also gloomy, and she felt distressed, as if she could feel the grievances and unwillingness in Naoto Yoshiwara's heart through the heavy seawater.

She couldn't help but speak: "Xiangzi ......"

"Nana, what do you command?"

Hoshino Nana stopped talking, and finally said slowly in the expectant gaze of Yayoi Satsuki: "Steam the potatoes for dinner for a longer time, I like to be softer." ”

"Yes, Nana-dea!"

Satsuki Yayoi suddenly hugged Nana Hoshino and cried: "Nana, let's go back!"

Nana Hoshino lowered her eyelids and sighed and touched her little head: "No, Yayoi, long pain is better than short pain, so be it...... So be it!"
