"..."
The ship girls would say something, and Akagi would reply with a sentence. She didn't say much, and she didn't neglect anyone. Her words were comprehensive.
Akagi's conversations with the ship girls became increasingly harmonious.
This made Xiaobai, who was watching this scene from a distance, feel extremely gratified.
Although the idea of the ship girls asking the Dean of the Deep Sea for opinions on human society is full of flaws, I still quite like seeing my ship girls and the Dean of the Deep Sea living in harmony.
what……
It seems like there isn't enough of the flowing somen noodles in stock.
Xiaobai lifted his foot and jogged towards the direction of Deep Sea Akagi.
……
After lunch, Xiaobai discussed with the ship girls and decided to give up a double bedroom in the villa to Abyssal Akagi and Abyssal Kaga.
After the decision was made, the ship girls enthusiastically pulled Akagi and Kaga up to the second floor, ready to show them around the 900-square-meter villa.
The light footsteps of the girls echoed through the lively villa.
"Oh, right, Akagi, are you free later?" Xiaobai stood at the top of the stairs, watching Akagi walk up the stairs surrounded by ship girls. After thinking for a while, she called out to her.
"My lord?" Akagi from the Deep Sea stopped on the stairs and turned to look at Shiro. "What are your orders?"
"Um...it's nothing serious, I just wanted to chat with you." Xiaobai scratched her cheek sheepishly, smiled at Shenhai Chicheng, and then waved her hand, saying, "You can go upstairs to look at the rooms first, but can you come to my place later?"
"Does Your Majesty wish to... chat with me?" Akagi looked at Shiro thoughtfully.
After exchanging glances with Xiaobai for a few seconds, Akagi turned around knowingly and bowed slightly to the ship girls who had already gone up to the second floor, as well as Akagi Kaga.
"Excuse me, everyone, could you please continue with Abyssal Kaga?" Abyssal Akagi asked the ship girls with a smile.
"Huh? What's wrong?" The ship girls looked at Abyssal Akagi with curiosity.
“It seems that my lord wants to have a private conversation with me,” Akagi Fukami said with a smile.
"But didn't the admiral just say we could talk again when she had time?"
"I have only been here for one day. How could I possibly make my lord wait for me?" Akagi said, bowing to the ship girls again. "I will satisfy my lord first, and then come upstairs to find you all."
"Oh..." The ship girls all looked at Shiro, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do... Alright then! We'll take Abyssal Kaga up first!"
After the ship girls finished speaking, they enthusiastically pulled the bewildered Abyssal Kaga up the stairs.
Akagi stood still, waving as she watched the ship girls and Akagi disappear at the end of the stairs.
After watching the ship girl leave, Akagi lowered her hand and slowly walked down the middle of the stairs to Shiro.
“Akagi, you don’t have to be so polite… I’m quite free here, you can go and introduce the ship girls to your home first, then come find me…” Shiro said to Akagi a little shyly.
"Thank you for your kindness, my lord." Akagi patted her chest and smiled at Shiro, asking, "Does that mean I can do what I want to do first?"
"Yes."
“In that case, I should come to my lord’s side even more.” Akagi smiled and bent down, taking Shiro’s arm. “What I want to do most right now is to stay by my lord’s side. As for chatting, it’s just a side thing.”
An alluring and unique osmanthus fragrance, accompanied by a soft and expansive touch, instantly spread from Xiaobai's arm throughout her entire body.
For some reason, as Akagi touched him, Shiro inexplicably felt her cheeks turn red.
Since they first met, Xiaobai and Shenhai Akagi have had various physical intimacy due to misunderstandings or accidents more than once or twice. At those times, although Xiaobai was a little flustered, he was always able to keep his composure. But for some reason, this time, even though Shenhai Akagi had only moved closer to him and put her arm around his, and hadn't done anything out of line, Xiaobai felt his heart suddenly beat faster.
Very strange.
It's just weird anyway.
Xiao Bai touched her slightly flushed cheeks.
Seeing Xiaobai's shy expression, Shenhai Akagi smiled slightly. She did not push her luck, but simply released her hands and stood properly beside Xiaobai.
"Where would Your Majesty like to meet me?" Akagi asked with a smile.
"Hmm... let me think." As Akagi released her, the blush on Shiro's face gradually faded. She let out a soft sigh of relief, looked at the lobby on the first floor for a while, and said, "...How about we go to my room?"
The conversation Xiaobai was about to have with Akagi would inevitably involve her injuries. Although Xiaobai didn't know how Akagi viewed her injuries, the topic was definitely not something that would make Akagi happy. Right now, the other Akagi directors were still outside the villa tidying up the artificial rockery made of flowing water, occasionally glancing over. Akagi probably didn't like having other people present when discussing this matter.
"Go to the Lord's room?" Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Deep Sea Akagi showed a slightly surprised expression.
"What's wrong?" Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Chicheng.
“…It’s nothing.” Akagi shook her head, then smiled at Shiro and said, “Then I must see for myself.”
The phrase "deep sea, red city" is completely unfounded.
Xiaobai gave Deep Sea Akagi a strange look.
Although Xiaobai hadn't returned to Cloud City for a week, Loki still helped her with her daily cleaning. When Xiaobai led Deep Sea Akagi back into her bedroom, the entire room was bathed in golden sunlight, and it was still spotless, exactly as it had been when she left.
Xiao Bai walked to her bedside, reached out and groped around on the bed for a while, then pulled out two cushions and placed them on the floor.
Xiaobai plopped down on one of the cushions, patted the cushion opposite him, and gestured to Deepsea Akagi: "Deepsea Akagi, come on."
Since entering Xiaobai's room, Shenhai Chicheng had been carefully observing the environment inside. Only when Xiaobai laid out a cushion to greet her did she slowly withdraw her gaze, walk to the cushion in front of Xiaobai, bend down, lift her skirt, and sit on it.
With Akagi's visit, Shiro's room was soon filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
"Would you like something to drink?" Xiaobai asked.
"What does the Lord have?"
"Mineral water, cola, iced black tea, iced green tea, Red Bull, milk, yogurt..." Xiaobai pulled out a bunch of beverage bottles from her ship's equipment space. Holding the pile of drinks, she said to Deep Sea Akagi, "Um... since I don't know how to brew tea or make coffee, how about using these instead? Is that okay?"
“Of course.” Akagi Fukami covered her mouth and smiled. “Then… give me a bottle of green tea.”
Xiao Bai quickly pulled out a green tea drink and handed it to Shen Hai Chi Cheng.
Akagi took the drink and sipped it. A drop of green tea dripped from the corner of her mouth into her palm. She stared at the water droplet on her palm for a while, then stuck out her tongue and gently licked it.
Akagi's tongue licked along the palm of her hand to the space between her index and middle fingers. She gently turned her hand over, and her pink tongue tip licked all the way down to her wrist before stopping.
"How about I get you a piece of paper?" Xiaobai suggested, looking at Shenhai Chicheng.
“It’s all licked clean.” Akagi lowered her hand and stared at Shiro as she slowly said, “The Master’s drink… it really has a unique flavor.”
"It's just a regular street drink... the kind that costs three yuan and fifty cents a bottle."
"But it's unexpectedly sweet."
"Ha ha……"
Xiaobai smiled at Shenhai Chicheng, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Speaking of which, how do you feel about being here?"
Chapter 2413 Akagi's Injuries
“The houses here are much bigger than the ones I lived in in the city before.” Akagi thought for a moment and said to Shiro, “As for the people… since they are all ship girls and Akagi, they are much friendlier than my previous neighbors.”
"Oh, I see. Then I can rest assured." Xiaobai looked relieved upon hearing this.
"..." Akagi stared at Shiro's face and said, "...My lord specifically called me to the room, surely not to inquire about such trivial matters?"
"Is my intention that obvious?"
"Hmm." Akagi Fukami smiled broadly, a smile playing on her lips.
"Actually, there's something I really want to ask you, but I haven't had a chance to ask you before," Xiaobai said to Shenhai Chicheng.
"Is it about the injuries I sustained?" Akagi Fukami asked in return.
"Huh? You know that?"
“Actually, I think it’s about time Your Majesty asked about this matter,” Akagi Fukami said slowly, closing her eyes. “After all… losing power is unheard of in the world of the Deep Sea, isn’t it?”
"Hmm...that's true." Xiaobai nodded. "I'd like to see your injury, is that alright?"
“Of course.” Akagi Shinkai opened her eyes, showing no resistance whatsoever.
"That's great!" Xiaobai quickly straightened up.
Deep Sea Akagi smiled and looked at Shiro.
Shiro and Akagi stared at each other for a long while, both remaining seated and motionless. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat stiff.
Deep Sea Akagi surprisingly showed no intention of revealing her wounds to Shiro.
Finally, Xiaobai couldn't sit still any longer. Her gaze kept drifting back and forth between Shenhai Chicheng and her face full of questions.
"What is my lord looking for?" Deep Sea Akagi asked, sensing Shiro's gaze.
"Where is your wound? Where is your...wound?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.
“It seems my lord has misunderstood.” Upon hearing this, Akagi smiled and explained to Shiro, “I have no wounds on my body.”
"Huh? No wound? Could it be internal injury?"
“That’s not entirely true.” Akagi Fukami raised her hand and touched her neck, then said to Shiro, “The injuries I suffered are not actually on this body.”
"Not on the body?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled.
"Would you like me to take a look?" Akagi Fukami smiled and made a gesture of taking off her clothes. "If my lord wants to see my body, I will not refuse."
Akagi's fingers gently lifted her collar, revealing her fair skin.
Beneath her clothing, the deep, white cleavage was slowly revealed to Xiaobai with her movements.
"Ah, no need, no need. Since you said there's no, then there isn't..." Xiaobai hurriedly raised her hand and waved it frantically.
“I see…” Akagi Fukami slowly lowered her hand, and continued speaking to Shiro while touching her chest, “Actually, the wound I suffered is here.”
"Here?" Xiaobai stared at Shenhai Akagi's palm in confusion, only to see Shenhai Akagi gently pressing her high, firm chest. "Uh... isn't this still your body?"
"This is indeed my body, but in a sense, it is not my body either." Akagi Fukami murmured in a tongue-twisting manner, her gaze lowered and her voice cold, "This... is my inside."
"in?"
“If we compare the power of the Deep Sea Dean to a balloon, then the balloon named Deep Sea Akagi should have existed inside me,” Deep Sea Akagi explained to Xiaobai. “Now, my body has suffered severe damage. Although this damage will not affect my physical body, the balloon containing the power of the Deep Sea Dean has been severely damaged. The power belonging to the Deep Sea Dean is slowly leaking out through these holes, every moment, day and night, until finally… leaving this place completely empty.”
Xiaobai blinked as she listened to Akagi's words.
The deep sea and the red city... could it be referring to the spiritual world?
Mental power is indeed the medium for controlling the power of ship equipment.
If one loses their mental energy, then it's only natural that they won't be able to summon their ship equipment or use its power...
Xiaobai pondered Akagi's words, weighing them for a moment before thoughtfully raising her hand and asking, "So, Akagi, your mental strength has been severely damaged, is that right?"
“It seems that Your Majesty has studied mental power.” Akagi smiled at Shiro, but still shook her head. “However, what I am referring to is not mental power. In fact, my loss of mental power is just one of the aftereffects of my trauma.”
"Huh? It's not?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.
“If I could use a clearer term to explain what’s inside, I would try my best to describe it,” Akagi Fukami shook her head regretfully. “But I’m sorry, I can’t find a second term to describe to you what kind of part it is.”
Under Xiaobai's surprised gaze, Deep Sea Akagi continued speaking.
"Actually, I only realized its existence after I was injured. It was something that didn't exist in my body, but was intimately connected to it," Akagi said to Shiro. "That's why I couldn't use any methods to heal my body or even my ship equipment to repair the damage inside. I could only watch helplessly as the power of the Akagi Dean, which had accompanied me for hundreds of years, dissipated little by little."
"Not the body, not the mind, but inside..." Xiaobai listened to Shenhai Chicheng's words with some confusion. She smoothed her hair, shook her head a few times, and then suppressed her doubts and asked, "Then, anyway, can I examine your body?"
"Should I still undress?" Akagi Fukami placed her hands on her shoulders.
"You can simply extend your hand."
“Okay—” Akagi from the Deep Sea pressed her hands together and handed it over.
Xiao Bai reached out and cupped Deep Sea Akagi's hand in his palm, then activated his spiritual power, which seeped into Deep Sea Akagi's body through her palm.
Deep Sea Akagi has now completely lost the power of the Deep Sea Dean and all her mental energy. Therefore, she cannot sense that Xiaobai is using his mental energy to search her body. In Deep Sea Akagi's eyes, she only sees Xiaobai holding up her hands, and then she becomes quiet.
The deep sea awaits Little White.
Time passed second by second. About five minutes later, Little White, who had been motionless, took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
"Has the master finished the inspection?" Deep Sea Akagi asked.
"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded with a complicated expression.
"What were the results of your physical exam?" Akagi asked with a smile.
"..." Xiaobai looked troubled.
“My lord, you can speak frankly.” Akagi’s gaze was gentle. “If my lord is worried about my feelings, you can rest assured. I know my body better than anyone else.”
“…Hmm.” Xiaobai nodded regretfully and released Shenhai Chicheng’s hand. “I just used my mental power to check your body…Hmm…Because my mental power is quite strong, it also has scanning functions. In short, the result of the check is that your body is very healthy right now, and there are no abnormalities. From head to toe, the check is like you have never been injured at all.”
"It seems to be a very good test result," said Akagi Fukami.
