Akashi: The Commander's Embrace is So Warm, Meow

A little earlier, while Kaisha was busy burning stars to provide energy for Akashi's calculations, in the small cabin where Akashi and Su Luo were.

Su Luo, who was originally trying to explore other uses of his gene ability, was called by Akashi.

"Commander!"

"What's wrong, Akashi?"

Su Luo reluctantly stopped his exploration of his gene ability. In the past, in the port, he could only watch other ship girls use various special abilities. Now, he finally had "superpowers," so he was indeed a bit engrossed for a while.

"Commander, do you feel like it's gotten colder around here, nya?"

Akashi's expression was a little off, as if she genuinely felt cold.

"Gotten colder?"

Su Luo's tone was a bit confused. After all, Akashi's question was indeed strange. Su Luo looked out the cabin window at the village. Although the fires in the village had been somewhat extinguished by the Manjuu for a while, they were still not small. Su Luo even felt that the surrounding temperature was slightly hot, yet Akashi was now saying it had gotten colder.

Su Luo frowned, pulled Akashi over, and placed his hand on her forehead.

"Hmm... your body temperature is normal. You don't seem to have a fever."

But seeing Akashi's face, which was clearly a little pale, Su Luo naturally became a bit anxious.

"Akashi, how are you feeling now?"

"Commander, I just feel... like it's a bit cold around here, nya! But after Commander took my hand, it didn't feel so cold anymore, nya!"

As Akashi spoke, she actively snuggled closer into Su Luo's embrace.

"Your embrace feels warmer, nya! Commander, can you hold Akashi for a while?"

"Hmm, if Akashi needs it! Of course!"

Su Luo looked at Akashi, who had already snuggled into his arms. His face was still filled with worry, but seeing Akashi's complexion gradually turn rosy in his arms, Su Luo didn't say anything more, just silently hugged her.

After hugging for a while, Akashi, who was in Su Luo's arms, had returned to normal. Although she didn't quite understand what had just happened, Akashi's attention was no longer on that. Instead, she was wholeheartedly enjoying her Commander's embrace.

The Commander had only returned to the port a while ago. Before that, everyone in the port could only sense the Commander's presence but could not have close physical contact with him.

At that time, since everyone in the port couldn't get close to the Commander, although they were all a bit disappointed, they didn't fight or compete.

This situation changed when the Commander returned to the port!

The married ship girls declared their legitimacy as the Commander's wives with their Oath Rings, and then, the married ship girls meticulously arranged the Commander's schedule. Other ship girls could only secretly pay attention to the Commander from afar. After all, they couldn't get involved until all the married ship girls were secured!

Akashi was one of the ship girls excluded by the married ship girls. Before the Commander came to the port, he would visit her little shop every day and occasionally poke her. After the Commander came to the port, she hadn't had any close contact with him for a long time!

The Commander's embrace is really warm, nya!

Akashi leaned contentedly in Su Luo's arms, even letting out purring sounds, making Su Luo truly think he was holding a green-headed cat.

After hugging for a while, it wasn't until the girl Su Luo had hypnotized in the house woke up from hunger and quietly walked over to Su Luo and Akashi that they finally let go.

Su Luo looked at Akashi's restored complexion and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the girl beside him, who was holding a Manjuu in one hand and covering her stomach with the other, Su Luo suddenly remembered something.

"Are you hungry? Speaking of which, Akashi, haven't you eaten yet?"

Akashi nodded, then shook her head.

"Commander, it's okay if Akashi doesn't eat, nya. Ship girls are different from humans, nya. We don't need to eat to survive, nya."

"But eating delicious food can also improve one's mood, can't it?"

Su Luo replied with a smile.

"Speaking of food... we don't seem to have any food right now! We just looked at the village, and basically everything that could be burned has been burned. Nothing is left. So, if we want food... we'll probably have to go into the forest and find it ourselves! But wild things aren't necessarily safe, and this isn't the world where the port is located. The plants in the forest are probably different from ours..."

Su Luo said, his gaze falling on the Manjuu the girl had been holding. After Akashi had put the Manjuu into the little girl's arms, the girl had never let go of it. Now, the Manjuu's face could be described as devoid of life.

A smile tugged at the corner of Su Luo's mouth. Looking at the Manjuu, he spoke, "Akashi, tell me, can Manjuu..."

Su Luo's gaze made the Manjuu feel a sense of danger. It instinctively shivered, and then the Manjuu voluntarily moved closer to the girl, indicating that it had an important mission on its shoulders!

Su Luo finished his sentence.

"Can Manjuu identify which things are edible and which are not?"

"Commander, Manjuu don't have that function, nya!"

Akashi said, then thought for a moment and continued, "But we can consider letting Manjuu try eating them, nya! Even if the food is poisonous, Manjuu will only feel uncomfortable for a while after eating it, and then they'll be back to their lively selves, nya!"

The Manjuu, which had just relaxed, now clung even tighter to the girl! It looked as if it wouldn't get down even if the girl tried to let it go.

In the Merlot Heavenly Court, Kaisha and Hexi were communicating through the Dark Plane, simultaneously watching the playback of the scene sent by Angel Yan.

Looking at the scene of Su Luo and Akashi embracing in the video, they confirmed that the time of that moment coincided with the time when the data volume began to surge during the Sacred Knowledge Repository's calculations.

Hexi and Kaisha had basically understood what the surge in data volume at that time was about!

Hexi had a strange smile on her face, while Kaisha's expression was even more solemn.

"Heh, Kaisha, you've figured it out too, haven't you?"

In the communication channel, Hexi asked Kaisha a question but received no reply. Hexi didn't mind, continuing to state her opinions as if no one else was there.

"This little guy might not only be a new future for the Angel Civilization, but perhaps also a special existence for their own universe!"

"So, Kaisha, have you made up your mind? Will you choose that Galaxy Power like before, or change your previous decision and choose this little guy?"

"If you want to choose Galaxy Power, then you don't need to put too much thought into this little guy. Based on the uniqueness he just displayed, I can conclude that he couldn't have been summoned by Karl through some technology! After all... who would be willing to put such a special existence in an unfamiliar place to face unknown risks?"

"I can guarantee that it won't be long before this little guy is found by people from his world! Judging from their reaction in the previous data, they weren't particularly surprised to arrive in this world, and even seemed somewhat expecting it. This leads me to believe that the time until they are found won't be long at all!"

"This means... Kaisha, you don't have much time left to make your choice!"

Kaisha still didn't speak, only her hand resting on the armrest of her throne clenched tightly.

Hexi didn't say anything further and silently hung up the communication.

In a private garden somewhere in the Merlot Heavenly Court, Hexi, sitting on the grass, stretched. Under the gentle sunlight of the Merlot Heavenly Court, regulated by the Sacred Knowledge Repository, her fair skin appeared incredibly alluring. However, this captivating sight could only be appreciated by Hexi herself.

Standing up from the grass, Hexi tidied her attire. Her tender, white legs were covered by her white dress. Barefoot, her pale feet, tinged with a hint of pink from blood, stepped onto the grass as she walked towards a small pavilion beside the garden.

"Kaisha, the little guy has already shown so many possibilities. What will you choose next?"

"Will you continue to let go as you originally decided, leaving the Angel Civilization to struggle and survive in the quagmire? Or will you choose a new path?"

Sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, Hexi poured herself a cup of tea. She watched the ripples on the tea's surface, and as the water calmed, a smile touched her lips.

Hexi lifted the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Excellent tea!"
