Return of the Comeback

In the small cabin, Su Luo placed three "rabbits" that he had processed and roasted onto the tabletop that Manjuu had hastily put together.

He clapped his hands and looked at Akashi, and Azi who was sitting obediently beside Akashi, holding a Manjuu in her arms.

"Akashi, Azi, come eat!"

"Coming, nya."

As Su Luo's voice fell, Akashi responded but didn't move, still sitting in place, looking contemplative. Her response to Su Luo seemed more like an unconscious bodily reaction.

Azi, however, walked over obediently and sat beside Su Luo.

Su Luo glanced at Akashi. Seeing that she was deep in thought and completely engrossed, he shook his head. Considering Akashi's identity as a ship girl, he didn't force her. He simply gestured for Azi to sit tight, then picked up one of the "rabbits" and walked over to Akashi, placing it in front of her.

"Akashi, remember to eat later!"

"Understood, Commander, nya."

Still responding as if out of habit, Su Luo smiled as he looked at Akashi, who hadn't moved and was still lost in thought. He turned and walked back to the dining table.

"Azi, let's eat first!"

Su Luo tore off a rabbit leg from one of the "rabbits" and handed it to Azi, gesturing for her to eat.

Azi looked at the steaming rabbit leg in her hand, then at Su Luo's encouraging gaze, and silently took a bite of the rabbit leg.

Seeing Azi take a bite and then purse her lips, finding it difficult to continue eating, Su Luo chuckled awkwardly.

He knew how these "rabbits" tasted. After all, the conditions were basic, and there were no seasonings. He could only process them simply and roast them directly. Fortunately, perhaps due to being from another world, these "rabbits" didn't have a strong muddy smell, so they were still edible.

Of course, they were merely edible.

"Sorry, Azi. The conditions are limited, and there are no seasonings. For now, let's just make do! Filling our stomachs comes first!"

Azi looked at Su Luo's apologetic face and silently shook her head. Then, she looked at the rabbit leg in her hand and silently continued to bite into it.

Soon, the rabbit leg was completely eaten.

"How was it, Azi? Do you want more?"

Su Luo wiped the grease from his mouth with a soft leaf he had plucked from a tree outside, looking at Azi as he asked.

Azi silently nodded.

Although the taste wasn't good, it was edible, and she was indeed still a bit hungry.

Su Luo plucked another rabbit leg for her, and Azi again lowered her head and ate silently.

This repeated several times. After Azi had eaten half of a rabbit, Su Luo asked her again, and Azi finally shook her head, indicating she was full.

Su Luo nodded, acknowledging her statement.

Azi looked at the remaining half of the rabbit, then at the Manjuu in her arms, and blinked.

Her small hands, still smudged with grease, reached for the remaining half of the rabbit.

Su Luo looked at Azi, puzzled by her actions, but he didn't stop her, just watched quietly.

Then, Su Luo witnessed this scene.

Azi tore the rabbit meat into shreds and then silently placed the shredded meat in front of the Manjuu in her arms.

The Manjuu in Azi's arms blinked its eyes. Looking at the shredded meat in front of it, the whole bird was somewhat resistant. It didn't usually eat like this... and even if it did, it wouldn't eat this.

Su Luo watched from the side as the Manjuu looked resistant but didn't dare to show too much resistance, and he burst out laughing.

"Alright, Azi. Manjuu doesn't eat this. Don't worry about its food; Akashi will be responsible for replenishing its energy!"

Azi looked at Su Luo with a hint of confusion, then looked at the shredded meat in her hand and the Manjuu that clearly didn't want to eat it. She dejectedly put down what she was holding.

Manjuu knew its current responsibilities well. Seeing Azi's disappointment, the whole bird instantly jolted and immediately wriggled its plump body, nuzzling in Azi's arms.

"Jiu."

Azi looked at the Manjuu in her arms that had suddenly made a sound and was constantly squirming, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Su Luo watched from the side, also with a smile of relief. Yes, the feeling of raising a daughter is back!

"Mmm, it smells good, nya. Commander, have you finished processing those 'rabbits' we caught, nya?"

Akashi's voice came from the side, drawing Su Luo and Azi's attention.

After Azi's attention was diverted, the Manjuu in her arms also breathed a sigh of relief. It was quite difficult for it to wriggle its plump body like that!

Akashi looked at the "rabbit" in front of her, which was still emitting some heat, with a happy expression on her face.

This was personally made by their Commander! The companions in the port, even the Commander's married ship girls, hadn't eaten it yet!

With this thought, Akashi suddenly became excited. She picked up the "rabbit" in front of her and took a bite.

Then... Akashi looked towards her Commander and Azi, her gaze lingering on the pair of bones left from Su Luo's eaten "rabbit." She fell silent for a moment.

"Ahem, Akashi, the conditions were..."

"Commander, it's my fault! I forgot to take out the corresponding seasonings!"

Su Luo looked at the silent Akashi and was about to apologize, but before he could finish, Akashi apologized first.

Seeing Akashi casually take out all sorts of seasonings from the cargo hold, Su Luo opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Su Luo and Akashi remained silent for a long time. In the end, to express her apology, Akashi ate the unseasoned "rabbit"!

Having experienced the current awkwardness and knowing that the Commander and she needed to stay here for a while longer, Akashi decisively brought out all the necessities of life.

Pots, pans, bowls, utensils, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar... and even some home appliances and a simple generator...

Tsk, is this the caliber of the only shop owner in the port?

Outside the Angel Nebula, several demon squads stealthily approached.

As they neared the Angel Nebula's border, the demon squads dispersed in unison, heading towards different target planets.

Following the orders of their Queen Morgana, the demon squads, tasked with provoking the Angels on the outskirts of the Angel Nebula to facilitate subsequent plans against them, strictly adhered to their Queen's instructions and headed towards planets that had recently been visited by Angels.

And the destination of one of these demon squads was precisely where Su Luo and Akashi were.

In a different direction from the approaching demon squad, but with the same destination, Zhixin the Angel was also on her way!

Meanwhile, Su Luo and Akashi were completely unaware of all this!
