Chapter 464
She looked at the tiny Nagato with a smile.
PS1: First update delivered, two more to come~~
451. Shinano... A ring? How come you have a ring?!
Nagato said.
This is because I learned this morning that the Goddess was coming, and I voluntarily offered up my saury.
It's delicious.
I hope Kiana will try it.
Kiana smiled and ate it.
Nagato said.
If you don't mind, please enjoy your time in Sakura Goddess.
They will serve the Goddess well.
Kiana nodded and agreed.
On the Sakura Empire side, the main focus is on meticulous care.
Even now.
No.
Nagato made a promise.
No matter which Ship Girls the Goddess takes a fancy to or needs to serve Ship Girls in bed, they have no problem with it.
Although we're all girls, please be considerate, Goddess!
The whole world consists only of Ship Girls and Sirens; there are no men.
It's good to eat some vegetables.
Please don't mind~
You could say that.
Even if Kiana really wants to take a certain Ship Girls away.
As for the Sakura Empire, anything is acceptable as a way of expressing gratitude.
And this isn't even a real thank you.
True gratitude is as I just said.
As long as it's not a matter of principle!
As long as they aren't all taken away in one go, like a whole pack of Sakura.
They are all worth considering.
We need to leave some people behind to wait for the commander.
A single meal in need deserves a thousandfold repayment.
Not to mention, that's enough for so many meals!
More importantly, Nagato and the others are indeed quite pessimistic about the future of this world.
Who knows when the commander will finally arrive?
If there really are some sisters who can follow the Goddess and leave.
Perhaps... it's not such a bad thing?
It doesn't count as betrayal.
Because.
The wait seems endless.
Since no contract has been signed yet, there is still room for maneuver.
Meanwhile.
This is also not a calculation.
The decision rests with Kiana.
It all depends on her choice.
Ultimately.
Even if I really don't want to make any empty promises.
On the Sakura Empire's side, it's also difficult to come up with anything that can truly satisfy a Goddess like Kiana; that's all they can do!
Therefore.
Nagato was somewhat embarrassed as he said these things.
The other girls also offered toasts, and every now and then they would offer a few words of explanation.
Kiana is gentle.
But she is gentle.
That doesn't mean the Sakura Empire can just brush her off.
It is precisely because they are facing deities that they are more careful.
Shinano, however, was all smiles and continued to pour wine for Kiana.
Kiana felt slightly dizzy. In front of the repeated calls of "Goddess," she felt as if she had forgotten something.
Shinano, too, kept her eyes down, seemingly oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on serving Kiana.
You really can't say that Shinano betrayed them.
Because.
Taking good care of Kiana is exactly what the Sakura Empire needs.
However, many more girls noticed something was amiss; some pondered the matter, while others frowned.
The atmosphere even eased.
They whispered among themselves.
Some of them were talking to their sisters, looking somewhat surprised.
"Does Lord Shinano seem... rather smug today?"
"Yes, that's how I feel..."
"..."
Wait a minute.
Someone finally figured out exactly what was wrong with Shinano.
Clang.
Suddenly.
He suddenly stood up.
The small table in front of him, along with the food and bowls, was all overturned on the ground.
This sudden commotion.
This stunned both Kiana and Nagato.
The entire scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked in that direction.
That's Miss Amagi.
As a cunning strategist, she was known for her cunning and wisdom.
It's almost unimaginable what could have made a girl like her so terrified.
Kiana looked her over.
With its long, smooth brown hair, serene brows, and dignified demeanor, it also has nine large, fluffy tails that make it stand out.
She was wearing a kimono with a maple leaf-like vermilion as its main color.
Even the loose-fitting kimono could not conceal her graceful figure.
Although her size is far less exaggerated than Shinano's.
However, she is still among the top in the entire Ship Girls group.
Great.
It's the same feeling of slender branches bearing abundant fruit.
In the chaos, he knocked over bowls, chopsticks, and chairs. Unable to stand up, he coughed and knelt on the ground.
The feeling of being gentle and weak became even more pronounced.
"Sister!" Akagi snapped out of her daze. This sister-obsessed girl! Hearing Amagi cough, she immediately went over and helped Amagi up.
Kaga followed and helped Amagi.
The two large foxes looked like they were about to be scared out of their wits.
It was clearly a bad thing that Amagi had suddenly disturbed the banquet.
But they don't care!
My own sister is coughing... what more do you want?
Certainly.
Nagato saw that Kiana wasn't angry.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He then gave Amagi a light but not harsh reprimand.
He then looked at Kiana apologetically, "I'm sorry, Goddess. Amagi is not feeling well, and he may have been startled just now. Please forgive him."
"Hmm... it's nothing~" Kiana said lightly.
But that's Amagi over there.
I coughed several times because I was too excited.
This gave them a slight respite.
He seemed to be having trouble breathing, and pointed shakily at Shinano.
"Shinano-sama... cough cough... Shinano- sama..."
"Cough cough... you! Your hand... the ring... cough cough, cough!"
"..."
The more Amagi wanted to speak, the more excited he became, and the redder his face turned. He found himself unable to utter a single word.
But even so, she coughed intermittently.
Everyone still heard what she said.
Slightly surprised.
He immediately realized something and looked sharply towards Shinano.
The loose-fitting long sleeves of Shinano kimonos sometimes cover a little bit of the hands, but this doesn't really matter.
She always held a sake bottle in one hand, sleeve rolled up, and poured sake for Kiana with the other. A small, beautiful ring could always be seen on her left middle finger.
Generally speaking.
Ship Girls don't easily wear rings on their hands.
Only if the commander becomes engaged to them, or swears an oath to make them his Wife ship, will they do so.
And the same.
