sun in blue

The simple two words once again reminded Leon of the feeling of being dominated when he played chess with Frederick.

Every time he played chess, except Frederick let himself, the rest of the time...he never won.

"Yes, playing chess, anyway, you have nothing to do now, or...you have important things to solve now?"

Speaking of this, Kaga glanced at the picture book in Leon's hand again, this picture book... She seems to have seen it from Tosa.

"No, no, since you invited me, I will naturally agree to you, but... I'm not very good at Go..."

The board that Kaga took out was a Go board. As for Go, Leon's current level is only limited to the level of understanding the rules. As for tactics and other things... Leon naturally knows nothing about it.

"It's okay, I can teach you slowly, just as I have nothing to do recently."

Kaga's sortie mission is over, and the summer festival is coming soon, everyone will have a long holiday to rest, unless the siren rushed into the cherry blossom sea area, otherwise... everyone will not Those who have a sortie mission will wait until the end of the summer festival.

"Okay, then I'll be all ears."

Seeing that Kaga had said that, Leon put the book in his hand aside, took the box containing the chess pieces that Kaga handed over, and Leon stretched his index finger in to stir the chess pieces inside.

"Do you know the basic rules?"

"I know, I just can't do it."

"That would be much more convenient. You should follow your train of thought first, and if you encounter problems... I will tell you slowly."

"I see, but... Kaga, I want to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

With the middle finger on the top and the index finger on the bottom, there was a chess piece, and Kaga gently placed it on the point of the chessboard. Listening to Leon's words, Kaga looked at Leon with some curiosity.

"Are you... still brooding about the things in your dream?"

"..."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, Kaga stopped his hand that was about to make a chess piece, his fingers trembled slightly, Kaga retracted his hand and put the chess piece back into the box.

"... Tosa told you?"

"Yes."

Listening to Leon's answer, Kaga finally sighed faintly, and then, she propped her hands back on the bed, raised her head to look at the ceiling, and then Kaga said slowly: "Sure enough, I still can't escape her. Eyes... I thought that since I finished drinking last time, I would be able to gradually forget about it, but... I found that I couldn't let go of it at all."

"Is it because of... Sister Tiancheng's matter?"

"Of course not, Leon, I hope you are not asking knowingly, you should know...I can't let go...after all, those things related to you..."

Sitting up straight, Kaga looked at Leon with a serious face. Now she can feel what Shinano-sama experienced before, this dreamlike feeling...she can't forget it at all.

This is a feeling engraved deep in her memory. Although she doesn't feel much after seeing Leon now, but...whenever she falls asleep alone, her mind...will always recall what happened before matter.

"My heart is very entangled right now. I can't face up to the thoughts in my heart. I can feel that in that dream, I loved you deeply, but now I...haven't experienced this profound feeling at all. However, that feeling has been lingering in my heart! Can anyone really understand this feeling!?"

The more Kaga talked, the more excited she became. This emotion has been bothering her for the past few days. Her palms kept slapping the table, and the chess pieces that were originally in the box just fell out.

"Phew... sorry, I lost my temper."

Along the bed sheet, a few chess pieces just fell on the ground. Hearing the sound of the chess pieces falling on the ground, Kaga finally realized that his behavior just now was a bit inappropriate.

Bending down to pick up the chess pieces that fell on the ground, Kaga carefully put them back into the box again.

"This matter... is not your fault, it's entirely the siren's problem, and I don't mean to blame you, sorry."

Looking at the slightly silent Leon, Kaga finally said the words of apology. She came to Leon to play chess tonight because of this emotion. If she didn't come to Leon tonight...she Feel like I might stay up all night.

"No, this matter... more or less has something to do with me, at least... it's also because the Siren wants to test me and let everyone fall into the dream together."

Leon can somewhat understand what Kaga means. The current Kaga...has the emotions of another world hidden deep in her heart, but here she...has no previous emotional foundation, so...in matters related to herself On the contrary, Kaga must have a lot of sense of disobedience in his heart.

Listening to Leon's words, Kaga also fell into silence, cutting things incessantly and still chaotic, maybe... this is the true portrayal of his heart...

"I've decided, Kaga."

"Huh? What have you decided?"

Listening to Leon's words, Kaga raised his head slightly, this time, what Kaga saw was Leon's firm eyes.

"Since you have such a strong sense of disobedience...then let's get rid of it."

"Destroy? How to eliminate? Do you want to eliminate the memory of the dream?"

"No, no, only cowards would choose this method of escape. My idea...it's very simple. This time...I'll find a way to make you feel the same in reality as in the dream."

"what…?"

Leon's words made Kaga stunned for a moment, and then Kaga sneered.

"Heh~ Although I don't know why sister Chicheng fell in love with you, but...conquering me is not so easy."

"It's really not easy. To be honest, I haven't taken the initiative to chase girls so far. I don't even know why you in my dream like me so infatuatedly. Could it be that... you guys regarded me as Tiancheng at that time. Sister's substitute?"

"The only thing...is something I need to deny. You are not a substitute for anyone else. You are just...after we lose Miss Tiancheng...the only thing we can rely on, of course, is in that world."

After a brief explanation, Kaga placed another piece to block Leon's way. In this small area on the chessboard, all of Leon's pieces were eaten by Kaga.

"Okay, okay, it looks like I'm really not suitable for Go... However, what I said just now is serious, Kaga, I will let you get out of this emotion."

Holding a lot of chess pieces in his hands, Leon said to Kaga again with a serious face, listening to Leon's words, Kaga twitched his fox ears deftly.

"Really? Then I... look forward to this day."

Journey to Cherry Blossoms: Chapter 152 You don't look sick, do you?

Although he said bold words to Kaga, but...in the matter of playing Go, Leon still lost to Kaga in the end.

"It seems that you really only have the level of 'knowing some rules'... I thought you were being self-effacing."

"...Why do you have such thoughts?"

Putting away his chess pieces, Leon put them back into the box one by one. Playing Go is indeed a very brain-intensive task, at least...much more difficult than the chess he played with Frederick up.

"After all...you have always been very humble since you came to Sakura, but...it doesn't matter, you can still learn this skill well from now on."

Putting away the chess pieces as well, Kaga took advantage of the situation and put the chessboard back into her ship's space. Immediately afterwards, she took out a jug of wine and two wine glasses and put them on the table.

"Start learning now? Why should I learn this?"

Kaga's words made Leon stunned for a moment, and slowly poured the sake from the jug into the wine glass, Kaga raised his head and smiled at Leon.

"Didn't you say you want to conquer me? In a martial arts competition... you must not be able to beat me. I am a ship girl and have the power of a ship outfit, but you don't have it. So... if you want to conquer me, you can only get it from someone else." It's about to start."

Pushing the wine glass in front of Leon, Kaga began to drink on his own, and drank it all in one gulp, Kaga picked up the wine glass and began to pour the wine.

"...If I really want to say it...then in some ways...I did conquer you, at least...you are comfortable, aren't you?"

Picking up the wine glass as well, Leon also drank the sake in one gulp. This time the alcohol concentration seemed to be higher than last time. After drinking the glass, Leon said to Kaga with a malicious expression on his face.

"... talkative."

Without rebuttal, Kaga just glanced at Leon indifferently, picked up the wine glass and filled it up for Leon, and Kaga drank it down again.

Among other things, the feeling of drinking with Leon...is quite good.

……

"hiss…"

Upon waking up, Leon suddenly felt a headache, he drank with Kaga a little late last night, so that he even forgot to drink the medicine that Akashi ordered.

But... Apart from the headache, Leon's body has no other discomfort at this time. He sat up on the bed with a little force on his arms, and Leon leaned his head on the pillow behind him like this.

The wine that Kaga brought last night was a bit strong... I woke up this morning with a headache.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lying on the bed and resting, there was a sudden knock on the door, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then Leon struggled to get out of bed.

"coming!"

After putting on his clothes, Leon walked slowly to the door and opened it. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Takao with a smile on his face, and Atago who was standing behind her with a gentle smile.

"I heard that you had heatstroke, so I decided to come over to see you, but...you don't seem to be suffering..."

Slightly frowning and sniffing, Kaohsiung immediately smelled the alcohol on Leon's body, with a half-smile on his face, Kaohsiung stretched out his hand and patted Leon's shoulder.

"Uh... this... I did suffer from heat stroke, but last night..."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

"Oh, please come in."

Hastily moved aside to let the two of them in, Leon opened the windows of the room by the way, Kaga didn't know when he left last night, when he couldn't bear to sleep, Kaga was still sitting drink there.

"I'm sick and taking medicine and still drinking? Leon, I remember you were not like this before."

Sitting on the sofa, Kaohsiung naturally noticed the medicine boxes on the coffee table, poured a glass of water for the two, and then Leon sat across from them with some embarrassment.

"Ahaha... Last night... I talked to Kaga about something last night, and I drank it before I knew it. I will definitely pay attention next time."

"Hey, Kaga really likes to drink, but Leon, you are just an adult. Drinking too much alcohol is not good for your health. I don't want... let you get some bad habits, you know?"

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of water, Kaohsiung also glanced at Atago next to him intentionally or unintentionally, seeing Kaohsiung looking at him, Atago stuck out his tongue a little cutely.

"I see, Master Kaohsiung, I won't drink anymore in the future."

"It's not that you are not allowed to drink. You have to have a limit in everything you do. Once you grasp this limit, you will not feel restrained in doing things in the future. Leon, don't think I am long-winded. Since I am your master, then in other Regarding things... I will also supervise you."

Putting the water glass on the table, Gao Xiong looked at Leon seriously. Hearing what Gao Xiong said, Leon nodded silently.

Why do I suddenly have a sense of déjà vu of Miss Bismarck...

"Okay, okay, Miss Kaohsiung, we are here to see Little Leon, not to preach to him, since Little Leon is fine, then we don't have to worry~"

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Atago on the side took the initiative to speak up to enliven the atmosphere, listening to Atago's words, Kaohsiung gave a soft hum.

"By the way! Since you are fine, little Leon, why not go out with me today? People will get moldy if you stay in the house all the time~ The most important thing is to combine work and rest~"

"Get out? Where?"

Atago's words aroused Leon's interest, he looked at Atago curiously, and Leon glanced at Kaohsiung beside him.

Kaohsiung's face is still neither happy nor angry, she seems to have acquiesced to Atago's words, Atago who has been observing Kaohsiung from the corner of his eye has also noticed this, seeing that his sister has no objection, Atago's face The smile got bigger.

"Of course it's a fun and relaxing place~ In fact, there are still many places for us to have fun~ It just so happens that you have a rest today, let's go together!"

Seeing Atago being so active, Leon also showed a smile on his face, Shige Sakura's ship lady is really hospitable... Everyone wants to take themselves out to play.

"Okay, then I'll go after I finish my breakfast. By the way...have you had breakfast yet?"

"Not yet, we're eating at Sister Tiancheng's place today."

Seeing that Leon agreed, Atago waved her hand happily, she hadn't been to that place for a long time, and today was just a chance to relax.

"That's just right, I'm going to eat at Miss Tiancheng's too, let's go together."

After a brief wash, Leon came to Tiancheng's house with the two of them. At this time, the dining table was already full of hearty breakfast, and Chicheng was adding tea to everyone's teacups. Seeing Leon walking in, Chicheng immediately Putting down the teapot in his hand, he walked towards Leon.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Takao standing behind Leon, and Atago with a smile on his face.

Journey to Cherry Blossoms: Chapter 153 Why are you, Atago, here to join in the fun?

"Good morning~ Akagi."

Seeing Akagi approaching, Atago also greeted Akagi with a smile on his face, but what she got was Akagi's threatening smile.

"Good morning, Atago, what kind of wind brings you here?"

As if declaring sovereignty, he stretched out his hand to hold Leon's arm, Akagi looked at Atago cautiously, if Kaohsiung came to see Leon... then she could still understand, but why are you following Atago to join in the fun ?

"Hehe~ I followed Sister Kaohsiung to visit Little Leon, why, can't I?"

Atago was naturally aware of Akagi's thoughts, folded his arms in front of his chest, Atago said to Akagi with a light smile.

"Little Leon!?"

Atago's address made Akagi furious in an instant, looking suspiciously at Leon and Atago, Akagi held Leon's arm even harder.

"Of course~ Little Leon and I are friends~ Don't you know? Last time we played games together~ You should still remember it?"

"Well…"

Akagi naturally did not forget what Atago said, and gritted his teeth, Akagi just stared at Atago viciously.

"Ah! By the way, I'm going out with Little Leon today~ Do you want to come together?"
