Carrying a portion of curry that was specially kept in an insulated lunch box, Akatsuki cautiously made her way to the castle’s study room.
Although she had received permission from the butler, Rai was still somewhat uneasy.
“I don’t know if the curry will suit the commander’s taste, but he probably won’t disdain it, right?
The sisters all said it was delicious!” Akatsuki encouraged herself before finally knocking on the door of the study room.
“Come in, the door’s unlocked,” came the voice of Chen Yu from behind the door.
With permission granted, Rai tiptoed to twist the door handle, peeked in, and upon seeing Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi standing in front of a bookshelf talking about something, she entered the study.
“Is that you, Akatsuki?
What can I do for you?” Chen Yu looked at Akatsuki as she walked in with the lunch box in her hand, naturally guessing that she had come to deliver curry to him, but obviously, one couldn’t just bring it up directly.
Hiromi Jounouchi also looked at Akatsuki with a bit of surprise, and seeing right through Akatsuki’s true nature, she asked Chen Yu with some astonishment, “Mr.
Chen Yu, is this the ship-girl you summoned?
She seems like a very cute child!”
“I am Akatsuki, the first ship of the Sixth Destroyer Squadron, as a mature Lady, I am not a little child!” Akatsuki seemed somewhat displeased, clearly reluctant to be called a child, but she still greeted Hiromi Jounouchi politely, “I’m here to bring curry to the commander, nice to meet you, please take care of me!”
Watching Akatsuki’s little adult-like demeanor, but really having the appearance and character of an elementary school student, Hiromi Jounouchi’s maternal instincts were instantly triggered.
She greeted Akatsuki with great pleasure, “Is your name Akatsuki?
Can I call you Akatsuki-chan?
You’re really adorable!”
While praising Akatsuki’s cuteness, Hiromi Jounouchi even reached out and patted Akatsuki’s head.
“Don’t touch my head!
Didn’t I say I’m not a child anymore!” Akatsuki’s face turned red as Hiromi Jounouchi patted her head.
However, even though she was saying no, Akatsuki did not turn her head away.
Seeing Akatsuki’s embarrassed look, Chen Yu also laughed along.
The gloom from the incident of nearly having a fight between the seven ship-girls was somewhat lifted, and he couldn’t help but think if he should revise his summoning plan.
The combat power of historic warships was indeed strong, but the grudges they held from their past experiences were equally deep.
After all, not every ship-girl could be like the children of the Sixth Destroyer Squadron, with personalities like a group of little angels.
Thinking this, Chen Yu said to Akatsuki, “Didn’t you say you brought curry for me?
Where is the curry?”
As he spoke, Chen Yu sat down on the low sofa in front of the bookshelf, looking expectant as if he was waiting for Akatsuki to take out the curry.
“Curry?
Does Akatsuki-chan also cook curry?
That’s impressive!
Do you have a portion for me too?” Hiromi Jounouchi was also very happy, sitting down next to Chen Yu with the same expectant look on her face.
The couple was like parents waiting for their child to serve their first-time cooked meal, looking forward to Akatsuki presenting the curry she made.
“It was Akatsuki-chan, Rai-chan, Dian-chan, and me who made it together, and Sister Shinano helped us a lot,” Akatsuki said, a bit embarrassed, but she still put the lunch box on the coffee table in front of the low sofa, “I only brought the commander’s share over, I’m really sorry!”
“No worries~!
Akatsuki-chan is so cute, it’s okay.
And I didn’t tell you I was here, so I’ll just eat with Mr.
Chen Yu.” Jounouchi Hiromi liked Akatsuki more and more as she watched her, and couldn’t help thinking how nice it would be to have such a cute daughter herself.
Yu Chen watched Jounouchi Hiromi’s overflowing maternal instinct, shook his head slightly, but didn’t stop her.
He hadn’t agreed to have children with her before, which was already hard enough for her.
Now that she had a rare chance to express her maternal feelings, Yu Chen didn’t want to interfere.
Upon opening the lunch box that Akatsuki had brought over, looking at the steaming curry, Yu Chen couldn’t help sniffing it and praised, “It smells so good!
This must be the curry you’ve been cooking for a long time, right?”
“Rai-chan stirred it for a whole hour!” Akatsuki boasted proudly, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as Hiromi of the city held her on her lap.
“She wanted to bring it to you herself, but Sister Shinano wanted her to help clean up the table, so Akatsuki came instead!
After all, Akatsuki is a mature Lady!”
“Rai-chan?
Who’s that?” Jounouchi Hiromi, upon hearing Akatsuki mention Rai, asked curiously.
Yu Chen took a spoon, scooped up some curry, and tasted it while he explained, “Akatsuki and Rai are from the former Japanese Navy’s Akatsuki-class destroyers, and during the war, they were both assigned to the 6th Destroyer Squadron.
They have four sisters in total, with Akatsuki as the eldest and her three younger sisters being Hibiki, Rai, and Dian.
All of them are as cute as her, and Rai is the most lively of the four sisters.”
“A bit too lively!
Today, while welcoming the other sisters, she even knocked down a clothes rack,” Akatsuki sighed as a mature Lady, feeling somewhat troubled by her younger sisters.
“Haha, as a big sister, shouldn’t you take care of your younger sisters?” Jounouchi Hiromi was amused by Akatsuki’s sighing, but after laughing, she also looked at Yu Chen, “Honey, let me try too, the curry Akatsuki-chan made smells so good!”
Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi say that, Yu Chen scooped up a spoonful and fed it to her.
It had to be said, the curry that Akatsuki and the others made was indeed delicious, with the ingredients thoroughly stewed and the flavors well-blended.
The potatoes in particular were melt-in-the-mouth; although it looked quite ordinary, it was extremely tasty.
“It’s so delicious!
The flavor is amazing,” Jounouchi Hiromi praised the curry, and her fondness for Akatsuki grew more and more, even thinking about making her her daughter.
While eating curry, Yu Chen also asked with concern, “Akatsuki, have the new ship-girls settled in okay?
They haven’t caused any more conflicts in the dorm, have they?”
Remembering the scene of the ship-girls bringing out planes and cannons against each other before, Yu Chen was somewhat worried about the dorm’s safety and that of Akatsuki and the others.
After all, because of the concentration of the Power of Faith and some technical issues during the summoning, the 6th Destroyer Squadron and Shinano were less powerful than the seven full-fledged ship-girls; only Shinano had Legendary-rank combat power while the four young girls of the 6th Destroyer Fleet only had Sub-Legendary power.
Although their power would increase with time and battle, they were currently no match for the seven demigods.
“Although the sisters were a bit serious upon arrival, after eating the curry, everyone got along much better!” Akatsuki said proudly, attributing the improved relationships to the curry made by the 6th Destroyer Fleet: “It’s just that the sister with the White Eagle always looks emotionless, and Dian-chan is really scared of her.”
