The time-based admiral of KanColle

However, now that Nagato has come down, it will be easy.

Suppressing his complaining mood, Yaxu nodded and surrendered, "Master Nagato is right. I, a human, can't carry so many goods. Thank goodness Master Nagato is here."

"Well! You don't have to mind it. I don't deny your loyalty in serving me, but you just need to pay attention to the limits of your abilities in the future."

Seizing the rare opportunity to suppress Yaxu, Nagato smiled and narrowed his eyes, then slightly opened his hands, stood on tiptoes unnoticeably, and said in a divine manner: "Also, you have seen it, it is precisely because of my selfless efforts that these residents sincerely worship me. This is my majesty!"

"Nagato-sama! Ah! Nagato-sama!"

Cooperating with Nagato, the surrounding NPCs echoed Nagato's words like fanatical fans and believers.

"Yes, yes, I took your face into consideration when playing chess, so I deliberately let you win. You should be grateful."

Um, Nagato-sama, the atmosphere was awkward because of your last sentence.

Looking at Nagato who was trying hard to make a comeback, Yaxu chuckled twice, then lowered his head silently, like a completely defeated soldier.

"Well……"

Looking at Yaxu who lowered his head and didn't say anything in return, Nagato soon lost the excitement he had just felt, and his happy expression quickly turned into calmness.

"Anyway, you just need to reflect on yourself."

Without the mood of winning, Nagato pursed his scarlet lips, then waved his red sleeves, turned around and prepared to return to the hanging palace above the sacred cherry tree.

However, at this moment, Nagato, who had just jumped onto a huge suspended staircase, quickly retreated strangely.

"Hey? What, what's going on!?"

Because of the unexpected situation, Nagato couldn't help but start to panic, but every time he went up, he would inevitably turn back.

With an innocent expression, Yaxu asked with concern: "Ah? What's wrong, Lord Nagato?"

"I, I can't go up!"

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Nagato quickly grabbed Yaxu's sleeve and said pitifully in a trembling voice: "What, what's going on? Why am I retreating uncontrollably?"

"Strange, if that's really the case... Could it be that the great Sakura sacred tree wants Nagato-sama to go out occasionally, and that's why it doesn't allow Nagato-sama to go back up there?"

"Huh? How, how is it possible!"

Instinctively rejecting the idea of ​​leaving the sacred tree, Nagato immediately and nervously retracted the inky fox tail behind him. The tall fox ears on his inky hair also became limp, and the surrounding NPCs all raised their hands and shouted, "Impossible! Lord Nagato should stay on the sacred tree and pray for peace for everyone!"

"Yes, that's right, I can't leave here!"

Just when Nagato felt relieved by the NPCs around her that were transmitting her inner thoughts, Yaxu whispered in an imperceptible voice: [Ming An]

"but!"

Instantly, the residents who were just angry with Nagato changed their attitudes: "It must be the great Sakura sacred tree that hopes that Nagato-sama will come to our island to spread the glory of the Son of God, so they didn't let Nagato-sama go back!"

"well!?"

Fearing the fact of having to leave this place, Nagato immediately let out a small cry.

It seems that the so-called permission management has no way to deal with cheats (laughs).

Watching Nagato's trembling body, Yaxu sighed softly, then went up to him and solemnly held Nagato's left hand, saying softly: "In this case, Lord Nagato, why don't you take this opportunity to go outside and spread the glory of the Son of God to the devout residents of the Sakura Empire?"

"Nagato-sama! Please come to our island!"

This time, the fanatical NPCs began to echo Yaxu's words, and Nagato froze in place, feeling a sense of betrayal.

Trying his best to calm Nagato's flustered mood, Yaxu smiled gently, slowly bent over and lifted up Nagato's left hand, and said with a meaningful smile: "I think the great Nagato... will not let his people down, right?"

Chapter 287 The Final Hesitation

Standing on the deck of the huge battleship which was a manifestation of Nagato's ship equipment on the calm and peaceful sea, Yaxu turned his head and looked at Nagato who was still trembling with introversion, feeling a little sad about the depth of the shadow in Nagato's heart.

Fortunately, with the efforts of many parties, Nagato finally took the initiative to leave the sacred tree of the Sakura Empire. This is already a great progress.

"As expected, I should go back again! Lu, Mutsu has no one to take care of him. I am very worried."

"Well, Nagato-sama, we have already gone back three times... and Miss Mutsu is also a good child who can take care of herself."

Looking at Nagato who was talking incoherently and trying to back out, Yaxu couldn't help but say helplessly: "But every time, Lord Nagato can't get to the sacred tree of the Sakura tree, right?"

"Ugh! Ugh~~~"

With her lower lips tightly pursed, Nagato's delicate and tender face turned pale. Although she looked pitiful, Yaxu still decided to let Nagato face the fact that she was far away from the sacred tree.

"Um, Nagato-sama, we are almost at Renki Island."

"..."

With his fox tail tucked tightly in, the helpless Nagato silently tugged at Yaxu's clothes. He no longer had the solemn and majestic feeling he had before, but was filled with helplessness and confusion.

Come to think of it, didn't Nagato realize that he was completely different from those loyal Sakura Empire NPCs...

Feeling that Nagato seemed to be consciously avoiding the truth, Yaxu couldn't help but frown and began to consider how to make Nagato accept the reality.

----

Two days later——

Renki Island still looks the same as before. The NPC residents in the castle town used to repeat the same routine every day, but now with Nagato's arrival, the whole island is like a gathering place for believers. Every now and then, those NPC residents would kowtow to the high castle where Nagato lives.

And since coming here, Nagato has not thought about wandering around the island and letting those Sakura Empire NPCs pay him homage. Instead, he has rolled up his quilt like an autistic person and huddled in the room, his petite body trembling slightly.

In the past two days, Yaxu, who tried every means to make Nagato happy, felt a little helpless.

"Um, Nagato-sama?"

With a gentle tone, Yaxu brought in a huge handmade teddy bear that he had made and placed it in front of Nagato.

"You, you guys can laugh if you want to!"

Knowing that his performance had been terrible recently, Nagato no longer cared about saving face in front of Yaxu and simply hugged the huge stuffed doll tightly, continuing to be in seclusion.

"No, I won't laugh at Nagato-sama. I think Nagato-sama must be hiding something."

Soothing Nagato with a gentle voice, Yaxu walked to the window and pushed open the curtains, letting in the sunlight outside.

Suddenly, bright sunlight poured into the house, and the bright and clear sky outside, as well as the sounds made by the enthusiastic Sakura Empire NPCs all day long, also reached here.

"Nagato-sama, everyone outside is holding a non-stop festival for you all day long, don't you want to go out and take a look?"

Pressing his limp body tightly against the giant bear doll, Nagato whispered in a slightly panicked tone: "I, I'll just stay here!"

"Really? But before I leave, I want to see Nagato-sama getting better. After all, I won't feel comfortable leaving him like that."

"well!?"

The clear golden eyes suddenly widened, and Nagato turned his head blankly to stare at the smiling Yaxu by the window, and exclaimed: "You, you are not the loyal servants of my Heavy Sakura, where are you going?"

After saying these strange words seriously, Yaxu chuckled and explained to Nagato: "Ah, Lord Nagato, of course I want to continue to serve you, but I should go back to my hometown to see my wife."

"Ah? Do you have a wife?"

Staring at Yaxu, with whom he had been living day and night for a while, Changmen's lips blossomed like cherry blossoms, and he whispered: "Then, which island is your hometown? I, I can visit your hometown!"

"Um, Lord Nagato, my hometown is overseas. It's an area guarded by the White Eagles and the Royal Fleet Girls. It's not under the protection of Lord Nagato."

Hinting at Nagato in every way, Yaxu immediately said, "That place is not an island, it's a continent. Lord Nagato, don't you remember? It's called Ohm..."

"Shut up, shut up!"

Instinctively and eagerly, Nagato scolded Yaxu for the first time, but then bit his rosy lower lip and hugged the giant bear doll in confusion.

White Eagle, Royal... The ship girls of other camps, in her subconscious, have already surrendered to the Sakura Empire and stayed outside the range of this illusion.

But Nagato didn't think about these things at all. Every day she just had to hide on top of her own sacred tree of the Great Sakura Tree and enjoy the peace and quiet. It was enough for her. She didn't need to and didn't want to think about anything.

Outside……

The word inexplicably echoed in his mind, and ripples appeared in Nagato's clear eyes, and the fox ears on his ink-stained long hair became limp.

"You, aren't you the servant that Senior Mikasa specially found to serve you? No, can't you go back later!?"

"Report to Lord Nagato, I am only a temporary worker."

"Ugh~ part-time worker!? Why is it a part-time worker?"

"So before I leave, I want to see Nagato-sama being worshipped by everyone."

Looking at Nagato who looked like a child with a smile, Yaxu bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Although not right away, but compared to this, I wonder if Nagato-sama would like to have yokan or matcha cake for dessert tonight?"

“I, I…”

"By the way, in my hometown, there are snacks with special features from other factions. I really hope that if I have the chance, I can bring them to Lord Nagato to taste."

“I, I…”

"Well, excuse me for bothering you, Lord Nagato."

Looking gently at Nagato who was holding on to the giant bear doll, Yaxu then nodded, turned and left the room, leaving Nagato alone sitting in the room.

Gradually, the bright sunlight slanting outside became dim, and slowly turned into the dark night.

And in the midst of this night, the residents of the Sakura Empire on Renki Island continued to light huge torches and torch stands, and reveled with more liveliness and noise than ever before, as if trying to dispel the inexplicable loneliness and panic in someone's heart at the moment.

Confused, uneasy, hesitant, all kinds of complicated thoughts flashed through my mind.

Nagato, who had been hanging on the giant bear doll in the room for a whole day, raised her pretty head and looked at the night sky outside. Finally, she stood up in a silly manner, walked out of the room with her slender legs wrapped in loose Japanese tabi socks and small mahogany shoes.

Chapter 288 The truth revealed

In the flickering fireplace, the flickering flames kept swaying, and Yaxu was sitting in front of the stove, looking down at the bead string that Nagato had given him for praying, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"It's a pity that I can't take this out..."

After spending such a long time with the introverted and simple Nagato, even though Nagato had become much more intimate with him and he kept hinting at Nagato in various ways, he was still afraid of the outside world, so he decided to take Nagato out by force.

"I really miss the steamed buns from Donghuang."

While talking to himself, Yaxu slowly raised his head, and a small shadow gradually approached under the flickering firelight.

"What's wrong, Nagato-sama?"

With a little relief and gratitude, Yaxu turned around. Under the dim firelight, the petite Nagato looked a little frail and pitiful, but when she saw Yaxu looking at her, she still tried to show her graceful and elegant demeanor. She raised her white wrist slightly, raised her snow-like neck to Yaxu, and said solemnly: "For a servant like me of the Sakura Empire, I will naturally not let him down."

"That would be a real honor."

Looking at Nagato who was obviously shaking but still wanted to show him the manners of the Sakura Empire, Yaxu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then let's go, Lord Nagato!"

"Wait, wait! Help, help me!"

"Yes Yes."

Looking at Nagato who was clinging to his sleeve as sensitively as a small animal, Yaxu slowly lifted up Nagato's left hand which was wearing a white gauze and red dress, and walked out with her.

Nagato didn't know why she was afraid to leave the Great Sakura Sacred Tree, or perhaps she instinctively didn't want to know the reason and avoided all kinds of things that were obviously unreasonable.

The bustling streets of Sakura City are reflecting Nagato's ideal. All the residents are grateful for her arrival and hold lively events.

Under the huge torches inserted on both sides of the street, residents passing by lined up in tacit understanding, wearing masks for praying to the gods, wearing straw raincoats, and occasionally performing strange dances.

When Yaxu brought Nagato out, the residents immediately knelt down and lined the aisle to watch Nagato pass by. Although they were fanatical, they were also extremely respectful.

And the affirmation from others was the most useful thing to Nagato, as if it was a recognition that she was the best flagship of the Sakura Empire.

Gradually, after calming down a little the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, Nagato slowly raised a brilliant smile, and his clear golden eyes were also filled with joy.

"Here, everyone has a smile on their face... This is why I protect this place!"

"Yeah……"

Looking at those idealistic residents of Sakura Empire who all behaved strangely in the same way, Yaxu could only feel sadness.

As if sensing the indifference in Yaxu's words, Nagato could not help but frown slightly and said angrily: "Why don't you respect and worship me like them!"

After the sudden light words, Yaxu turned to Nagato beside him and said meaningfully: "Yes, Lord Nagato, why... I am different from them."

At this moment, among the residents who all knelt down around, Yaxu, the only one standing next to Nagato, did look particularly strange.

"Why……"

Instantly, Nagato's clear pupils began to dilate again, and just when Nagato was about to escape again, Yaxu immediately interrupted Nagato's thoughts, raised his arms and shouted loudly to the residents around him: "Everyone, Lady Nagato said she wants to see the fireworks!"

"Eh? Wait, I didn't..."

"Get fireworks for Nagato-sama!!!"

In an instant, the particularly obedient residents hurriedly stood up and prepared to prepare the so-called fireworks for Nagato.

"But, Nagato-sama wants some special fireworks!"

Hurryingly calling out to the residents who were whispering and preparing to make fireworks, Yaxu raised his hand and said loudly: "First, make the bright black fireworks at the highest point, the white fireworks spread all around, and the red fireworks in the center in strips..."
