"what?"
The two white-clad ship girls instinctively ran forward.
"No strangers allowed." Just then, the tall woman in front of the door saw the white-clad ship girls. She gently shielded the door with her body and spoke to the ship girls.
"You are... Ah, I remember, you're that big shot by Admiral Lu Lin's side, right?" The white-clad ship girl stared at the tall woman in confusion for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Hello, your name is Super Yamato, right? I remember Admiral Lu Lin has been taking you with her wherever she goes lately... So, Admiral Lu Lin is in her room right now?"
"..." Chao Yamato looked at the white-clad ship girl, and then nodded subconsciously at the fruit in the white-clad ship girl's arms.
"Oh, it's Admiral Lu Lin..." The white-clad ship girls breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Really... why close the door in broad daylight? We were just about to bring some fruit to the Admiral, and since Admiral Lu Lin is here, let her have some too!"
As the white-clad ship girls finished speaking, they all stepped forward.
Chao Da quickly spread his arms to continue blocking the door.
"Miss Super-Big?"
The white-clad ship girl stopped and looked at the Super Yamato with a puzzled expression.
“We can’t go in now.” Super Wing shook her head, staring at the white-clad ship girls, and said slowly, “There’s something very important inside…”
"what is the matter?"
"...I can't say."
"We're just delivering some fruit and will be leaving soon."
“…No.” He shook his head with great difficulty.
"Huh?" The white-clad ship girls, holding fruit platters, looked at the Super Yamato with a puzzled expression.
Just as the white-clad ship girls were filled with doubt, suddenly, they vaguely felt their ears twitch.
Suddenly, as if realizing something, they quickly used their ship girl-level hearing to eavesdrop inside the house.
The room appears quiet at first glance.
As long as a ship girl with the ability to eavesdrop, she could faintly hear Nanxing's weak, sour groans and panting coming from inside the room.
Eh?
This sound...
Could it be that……
The white-clad ship girls were stunned.
next second.
The white-clad ship girls suddenly blushed. They quickly deactivated their ship girl-level hearing and reverted to their normal human state, stammering as they looked at the Yamato blocking the doorway and then at the tightly closed curtains.
"So that's how it is... so that's how it is!"
"I'm so sorry... I... I... We didn't mean to disturb you... I... We'll leave right away!"
"I...I didn't know the Admiral was...was..."
"I...we'll make sure no one else comes!"
"Well, this fruit... after Admiral Lu Lin and the other two are finished... let's offer them some as a way to replenish their fluids..."
"This is fresh, and it's so sweet..."
"Yes, yes, I'm so sorry!!!"
The two white-clad ship girls hurriedly pushed the fruit platter they were carrying into Chao Da's arms, then, too embarrassed to look at Nanxing's room again, they quickly covered their faces and ran away, wiggling their hips, back the way they came.
Only Chao Yamato remained, clutching the exquisite fruit platter in her arms, staring blankly at the departing figures of the two white-clad ship girls.
Chapter 3190 Ice Blue Flame
Chao Dahe, clutching the fresh fruit platter in her arms, watched as the pair of white-clad ship girls covered their faces and left shyly.
After the two white-clad ship girls left, faint screams and cheers could be heard from the end of the corridor.
The giant stood frozen in place, feeling utterly lost.
After a while, Chao Dahe, having recovered his senses, lowered his head, picked up the exquisitely arranged fruit plate in his arms, glanced at it, reached out and took out a clean, shiny green grape, and popped it into his mouth.
With a gentle bite, juice bursts forth.
The sweet and slightly sour fruit juice coated the tip of his tongue, causing Chao Da to subconsciously squint his eyes and shrug his shoulders.
Ju Da, chewing on grapes and holding a fruit platter, glanced back at the quiet dormitory.
Although I don't know the specifics of what happened... it seems... no one will bother the Admiral anymore.
so good.
All I need to do is wait quietly for the admiral to finish the ship equipment installation surgery on Admiral Nanxing.
After swallowing the large piece of fruit, he looked at the tightly closed dormitory room and breathed a sigh of relief.
I wonder if the surgery in the room went smoothly or not...
Hopefully... the admiral will finish this soon.
……
at the same time.
Inside Nanxing's dormitory.
"Um……"
"Humph……"
"Um……"
The faint, muffled groans of pain echoed through the room.
Nanxing, who had been sitting on the bed, was now covered in sweat from the pain. Her body bent and slowly slid to the ground, kneeling down in front of Xiaobai.
Her long hair cascaded down, almost completely obscuring Nanxing's lowered face.
Kneeling on the ground, she could only gasp for breath, clinging to her last breath, her hands raised, desperately gripping Xiaobai's wrist.
Under intense pain.
Sweaty.
Large drops of sweat clung to Nanxing's nightgown, and excess sweat trickled down her skin, forming warm, glistening puddles on the ground.
Nanxing's snow-white body began to heat up, gradually turning red, and visible steam began to emanate from around her body.
Upon seeing this scene inside the house, the female hearth goddess and Yubari, who were observing the situation from the side, frowned and looked grim.
"Is it really that... painful..." the Vesta said worriedly. "It seems that accepting ship equipment in a human body is really not something everyone can do..."
“Admiral Nanxing’s vital signs are fluctuating wildly. Her body temperature, pulse, and blood pressure have all clearly reached critical levels, and her internal organs are reacting very strongly.” Yubari leaned over, constantly operating the instruments in front of him, his eyes fixed on the flashing screen. “If this continues, her body will inevitably suffer permanent damage. If that happens, for her safety, we must stop this ship equipment installation surgery.”
"If the surgery is stopped... then what will happen to Admiral Nanxing...?"
“There’s no other way. The medical ship girls in the temporary naval base are waiting to perform medical tests on Admiral Nanxing. If this surgery fails, Admiral Nanxing’s condition will definitely be exposed to the Admiral’s Guild…” Yubari said regretfully. “Perhaps considering the seriousness of the matter, Admiral Nanxing will not be severely punished, but she will definitely lose her position as admiral and the naval base—but in any case, it’s better than losing her own life.”
"I really hate making these kinds of choices..." The goddess of the hearth sighed helplessly upon hearing this.
“I don’t like it either.” Yubari stared at the wildly fluctuating data on the instrument, then looked up at the aircraft carrier rigging in the center of the dormitory.
The aircraft carrier, which was currently undergoing fusion with Nanxing, was humming and running. Amidst the faint white light, the sound of machinery, similar to an engine, could be vaguely heard.
The intense heat was not only emanating from Nanxing's body, but also from the ship's equipment.
The temperature inside the dormitory seemed to have risen several degrees.
Another half minute passed.
The aircraft carrier's engine was making a slightly louder humming sound.
Yubari crouched inside the instrument, observing one of the fluctuating data points. She frowned, her expression troubled, but she still sighed with regret.
"The Kitchen Goddess."
"what happened?"
“Admiral Nanxing’s body temperature has risen to 41 degrees Celsius. If it rises any higher, her brain tissue may be damaged, and her brain electrical responses may disappear. If it rises above 44 degrees Celsius, the proteins in her body will be permanently denatured, and her life will be in danger.” Yubari removed the device from her ear and said to the goddess of the hearth beside her, “However, unfortunately, her integration with the ship’s equipment has only reached 18%, and it is still a long way from complete integration.”
"So you mean..." Upon hearing Yubari's words, the female hearth goddess immediately showed a sorrowful expression.
“This absurd surgery must be stopped.” Yubari stood up, looking at Nansei kneeling on the ground in excruciating pain, her body pressed against Shiro’s legs. Yubari’s gaze wavered, then turned dejected, and she murmured softly, “I really have gone mad… I actually agreed to this surgery to install ship equipment on a human… Before this surgery causes even greater damage to Admiral Nansei’s body, we must make amends for our mistake.”
At this point, Yubari stood up.
The goddess of the hearth also sighed. She glanced helplessly at the aircraft carrier's equipment, then followed Yubari and jogged to Shiro and Nansei.
"Admiral Nanxing, please wait a moment, we'll sever your connection to your ship equipment right away..."
Yubari bent down and reached out to touch Nansei.
However, just as Yubari reached out, the next second, Nansei gently hugged Shiro's leg and trembled as she dodged Yubari's hand.
Yubari was taken aback, but quickly realized that Nansei was unwilling to give up the surgery.
But even if you don't want to... the failure of this surgery is obvious to the naked eye.
Thinking of this, Yubari quickly reached out and grabbed Nansei's wrist.
But at this time.
Nanxing, whose body was burning hot, didn't even raise her head. Suddenly, she reached out her other hand and pressed it against Yubari's chest.
Boom! !
Nanxing gave it a gentle push.
Yubari felt as if she had been hit hard in the chest by a battering ram. A muffled sound came from her body, and she was sent flying backward with a bang, crashing towards the dormitory door.
Snapped!
Yubari's body crashed onto the hearth goddess, carrying her flying backwards until they both came to a stop against the wall.
"My God... such strength..."
Yubari clutched her chest, which felt stuffy, and stared at Nansei in shock.
"Does she really not want to stop the surgery that much..." Behind Yubari, the goddess of the hearth, squeezed between the wall and Yubari like the filling of a cookie, let out a mournful cry.
"How can such a grown man act so impulsively..." Yubari was getting a little anxious. She quickly said to the goddess of the hearth, "Forget it, goddess of the hearth, I knew this might happen. Since it's not working out with Admiral Nansei, let's go and dismantle the aircraft carrier over there!"
"Huh? Oh... Oh oh..."
The goddess of the hearth nodded quickly. She immediately started repairing the ship's equipment and ran all the way to the scorching hot aircraft carrier equipment.
If Admiral Nanxing's current body temperature is equivalent to a high fever of over 40 degrees Celsius, then the temperature of the aircraft carrier's equipment at this moment has reached several hundred degrees Celsius.
The floorboards used to store aircraft carrier equipment were already charred, emitting an indescribable smell. If Yubari hadn't already taken measures to extinguish the fire on the floor, the Nansei dormitory would probably have been engulfed in a large fire by now.
The goddess of the hearth looked at the scorching hot ship rigging with regret in her eyes, but quickly hardened her resolve.
Driven by a desire to save lives, the goddess of the hearth controlled the repair of the ship's equipment, preparing to dismantle the aircraft carrier's rigs.
However, just a second before the Vesta's repair equipment was about to touch the aircraft carrier's equipment, she suddenly felt an extremely intense gaze upon her.
The goddess of the hearth knew she shouldn't pay attention to that gaze.
But for some reason, she stopped what she was doing and subconsciously turned her head to look at Nanxing.
At this moment, Nanxing finally raised her head, and through her long, wet hair, one could vaguely see a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with intense apology and pleading as they silently gazed at the goddess of the hearth.
The female hearth goddess felt as if her breath was about to stop.
Please... don't look at me like that...
In the depths of her being, the goddess of the hearth had a strong premonition.
If... that is to say... if she dismantles the overheated aircraft carrier now in order to protect Nanxing, then after this matter is settled and Nanxing survives, she might... not be much better off than if she had died directly.
The female hearth goddess suddenly felt utterly helpless.
She felt that no matter what she did, it was wrong.
The female hearth goddess clutched her head and shook it desperately, trying to avoid looking at Nanxing's gaze.
"Why, why do I have to make this choice... I can't do it..." the goddess of the hearth cried out weakly.
Just at this time.
