After accepting Miss Hood’s invitation, Inomata Naoki naturally thought of contacting Chen Yu, fearing he wouldn’t be able to find him, but Chen Yu was obviously not going to appear.
On one hand, it was to give Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yuko time alone together, and on the other hand, it was out of consideration for the children of the Sixth Destroyer Fleet.
After all, they were just children, and if one of them carelessly called out “Commander” upon seeing Chen Yu, everything would have been given away, and Chen Yu’s arrangements for today would have been in vain.
So Chen Yu simply made up an excuse to decline Inomata Naoki and continued to discreetly observe as Miss Hood, with the children of the Sixth Destroyer Fleet, left the venue with Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko for a nearby restaurant.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Chen Yu met up with Enterprise and Lexington, who were in charge of surveillance, while the other ship-girls, as per their respective roles, either appeared in the restaurant Inomata Naoki and others went to or in the neighboring shops, providing full protection and preventing any accidents.
However, Chen Yu did not feel any accidents would occur today because, aside from the seven ship-girls, the Metropolitan Police Department was also keeping surveillance on Inomata Naoki, though Chen Yu had not shared his plans for the day with them.
They were also unaware that the Miss Hood dining with Inomata Naoki was a Demigod Level ship-girl who, if she called upon her true firepower, could level the entire Tokyo Metropolis.
And there were seven ship-girls with this kind of power around Inomata Naoki, all ready for combat.
If an accident were to occur…
the consequences would not be lesser than the destruction wrought by the American bombing of Tokyo back in the day.
Of course, thanks to the efforts of these police officers, any potential minor accidents had already been prevented, and the ship-girls were merely there to ensure the successful implementation of Chen Yu’s plan.
“Commander, why does that man seem so distant from Miss Hood?
Aren’t all men supposed to like beautiful women?” Lexington, monitoring Inomata Naoki through scout planes, received the reports sent back by the scouts with puzzlement, and asked Chen Yu for clarification.
“Heh, that kid Naoki is just like that.
He once dated a very beautiful girlfriend in high school but ended up finding out she was just playing with him.
Since then, he has kept his distance from beautiful women, something I only learnt about during a casual chat with him in college,” Chen Yu explained to Lexington while pulling out two cans of drinks from his pocket and handing them to her and Enterprise.
Lexington politely accepted the drink with a thank you, while Enterprise, still cold-faced, didn’t take the drink Chen Yu offered, nor did she say anything, continuing to focus on the restaurant where Inomata Naoki and others were with her binoculars.
Seeing this, Lexington hastily spoke to Enterprise, “Enterprise, the Commander is offering you a drink, at least say thank you.”
While saying this, she took the drink from Chen Yu’s hand, thanked him on behalf of Enterprise, and also handed the drink to Enterprise.
“Sorry, Commander, Enterprise wasn’t always like this,” Lexington didn’t know what else to say to make things better, so she could only offer this nonsensical apology on behalf of Enterprise.
However, Chen Yu shook his head, indicating that it didn’t matter to him.
He just gave Enterprise a meaningful glance before turning his attention back to the restaurant.
There, Inomata Naoki was chatting happily with Tokairin Yuko, while Hood conversed with them.
The children of the 6th Destroyer Squadron had already begun their offensive, helping Inomata Naoki to probe Tokairin Yuko’s feelings.
“Heyyy big brother, what kind of relationship do you have with this big sister?
Is she your girlfriend?” As the most active of the four sisters, Rai directly tossed the question to Inomata Naoki, and her little hands even formed the gesture of a thumbs-up, hinting that the two of them were a pair.
Faced with Rai’s rather blunt question, Tokairin Yuko’s face turned red.
She felt shy but was also looking forward to Inomata Naoki’s response.
Although Inomata Naoki really wanted to say that Tokairin Yuko was his girlfriend, he responded in a rather reserved manner, “We are indeed dating, but we haven’t established an official relationship.
So I can’t say she’s my girlfriend just yet…”
Inomata Naoki’s response inevitably left Tokairin Yuko a bit disappointed, but it didn’t make her feel too rejected since they indeed were still dating without having confirmed their status.
However, Rai was unsatisfied with Inomata Naoki’s answer, standing in front of him with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at his nose, she said, “Big brother, you’re too lame!
If you don’t confess to such a gentle and pretty big sister, someone else might snatch her away!”
“A true gentleman does not make a lady wait long once he’s confirmed her affections,” Hood joined in the commotion and with her British inflection said, “Mr.
Inomata, Shakespeare once said that time will prick through the outer layer of youthfulness, engrave furrows on the brow of beauty; it will devour the treasures of the rarest nature!
Natural beauty can’t escape its sweeping scythe.
Don’t let a lady spend her precious years waiting for your indecision.”
“This…” Hood’s words placed Inomata Naoki in a dilemma, unsure how to respond, but they made him realize he shouldn’t hesitate any longer.
Noticing the change in Inomata Naoki’s mindset, a hint of amusement flashed through Hood’s eyes.
She said no more, and the children of the Sixth Destroyer Fleet obediently ate their lunch under her watchful eye.
Akatsuki and Dian were not talkative.
Akatsuki, under Hood’s guidance, was holding herself to the standards of a mature lady, while Rai was still bombarding Inomata Naoki with all sorts of questions, “Big brother, how did you meet big sister?
Who liked whom first?”
“Well…
We were introduced by a friend.” Rai’s questions were somewhat embarrassing and bewildering for Inomata Naoki, but he still tried his best to answer her queries, facing her cute demeanor and innocent gaze.
However, as Rai’s questions grew more probing, Inomata Naoki was feeling increasingly overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Hood gently coughed to halt Rai’s ongoing harassment of Inomata Naoki, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief and focus on his meal.
After finishing the meal, Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yuko, along with Hood and the Sixth Destroyer Fleet, said their goodbyes.
Dian expressed her thanks to the two with a reluctance to part, and she expressed her gratitude.
After all, Dian felt very uneasy at heart because she had been deceiving these two kindly big brother and big sister figures who were willing to help her all day.
So, in the end, Dian still shouted to Inomata Naoki, “Big brother, do your best!
Seize the time to confess to big sister!”
Dian’s shout caused Inomata Naoki, who was preparing to leave, to feel a wave of embarrassment.
Glancing at Tokairin Yuko by his side, he scratched the back of his head.
Though he didn’t say much, his mind was made up to find the right opportunity to confess his feelings.
