Looking for the lost ship girl

The pendulum of the grandfather clock made a clicking sound, and time seemed to be suspended around him.

Joan of Arc had already taken a bath, with a towel placed on her shoulders, and her long, slightly damp golden hair fell on the towel.

"Think about it, we have found many people named Su Gu in the past, including noodle shop owners and fishermen. There are also people who open hotels. The reason why we found them is because the signboard of that hotel is called Su Gu Hotel. There is also one who is a student of the school. He is just a high school student. In fact, we knew from the beginning that he was not the person we were looking for, but we still wanted to see it with our own eyes. But to say who is the closest, the admiral named Su Gu is definitely the closest, or even the one, unless it is really There are such coincidences.”

"It's just that we used to have a town hall. Why would the admiral be in another place when he came back? We left, and many people left. Now the townhouse may be abandoned. It's not surprising. If you want to rebuild the townhouse It requires too much energy. When I came back from the yacht, I asked Chen Xiangbo some things. If you are a new admiral, you will have a garrison as long as you graduate. If you want to get a garrison, graduating from the academy is a shortcut. .”

"I heard them saying, the people who visited the garrison in the past, you saw Bismarck, he saw Lexington. These are capital ships, rarely seen. If a newcomer owns these ship girls, it will generally make people think he is lying. . But our tutelary mansion, there are many people in the tutelary mansion. Some people come to visit, and it is not a military parade. There is no need to drag the ship girls to show up. It is not surprising to see no one but no one. "

"Do you remember that rumor you heard before? The white-haired ship girl mercenary Bismarck. That Bismarck is very powerful, so we doubt whether it is the Bismarck from our garrison, but we have never had a chance to meet him. In the past six months, Over time, the rumors about Bismarck disappeared completely, because no one saw her anymore. Some people said that she no longer worked as a mercenary, while others thought it was just a false rumor. As time passed, people gradually forgot about it, and there was no such person at all. Now looking at it, there may be another explanation.”

"If that one is really the Bismarck we know, and that one is really our admiral, she will naturally not be a shipgirl mercenary anymore after meeting the admiral. Everything can be explained clearly."

Richelieu told Joan of Arc the rumors he heard at the party, and then expressed his thoughts bit by bit. Although he kept saying that he didn't believe that he was his admiral, he naturally had his own thoughts in his heart, but he was just afraid that the current oath would turn into nothing in the blink of an eye.

Richelieu was about to continue talking when he suddenly saw Surcouf standing at the door of the living room.

After taking a shower, Sucuff changed into a nightgown and slippers, and stood by the door of the living room. Her long wavy hair looked like seaweed because it was soaked. She held her hand on the door frame and looked at the two adults who were looking at each other in silence.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange for a moment, Surcouf looked a little timid and said: "Sister Richelieu, I've finished washing."

Richelieu didn't know if the little girl heard what he just said. She showed a smile and said: "I understand, you go to bed first."

"that……"

Her heart skipped a beat and she asked calmly: "What's going on?"

"I want a drink of water."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then drink."

Sucuff was holding a cup and drinking water. There was no sound around her. She looked around and saw that the party was obviously very happy, but why did the atmosphere seem a bit solemn now.

After she drank the water, she didn't dare to ask questions and turned back as she walked back.

Joan of Arc said: "Dry your hair before going to bed, otherwise read a book in the room before going to bed, otherwise you will catch a cold easily."

In fact, Kanji doesn't catch a cold at all. Moreover, even if you sleep with your hair wet, you won't have headaches as people often say when you grow up. It's just that although ship girls are different from ordinary people, many of their habits are still learned from humans. Perhaps this is part of the reason why the shipgirl doesn't want to appear independent.

Surcouf left, and Richelieu and Joan of Arc continued their original conversation.

"Chuanxiu is far away from here, how can he get there?"

"It's better to take the boat."

"Everyone should go together, or go alone. If we go together, if it is not our admiral, a lot of time and energy will be spent in vain. If we go alone, it will take too long to go back and forth. Anyway, we must go there. trip……"

After Richelieu finished speaking, he fell silent for now. If the ship's wife had heard the news about her admiral, she would have been very rational. At that time, the entire garrison would not have exhausted all its resources to find the admiral. If you really know how to be calm, how can you possibly use up all the resources in the garrison? You can save some and use them until the end of time. If a ship girl who already has an admiral is not completely disappointed in her admiral, how can she live peacefully? Life without an admiral is the same no matter what you do.

Richelieu sighed and said: "Living anywhere is not life. It's the same as living here, and it's the same living in Sichuanxiu. Let's go together. If not, then treat it as tourism. It's just that so many people go there, If not, it feels really bad. If you can’t let little girls know about this, just tell them we are going on a trip.”

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Let's think about it tonight."

Richelieu walked into the bathroom. It was already very late, and things were not urgent at this moment. All in all, it seems that there is no way to sleep well all night.

…

By the next day, Richelieu was sitting at the dining table, her hands on the table, rubbing her eyes.

Yesterday, I rolled over and over in bed, unable to sleep no matter what. Unable to sleep, I got up and turned on the light and wanted to read a book. However, I couldn't read a single word, so I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Richelieu seemed a little out of sorts, but Joan of Arc was much better. She had already started preparing breakfast. Placed on the dining table are some simple vegetable salads, as well as the croissants and milk purchased yesterday.

Xuan Xiang slept soundly all night and had regained her energy. However, her hair was messy and she didn't look like a little princess at all.

Richelieu forced a smile and said: "Xiangxiang, you were naughty all day yesterday and didn't take a shower at night. You are sloppy."

The little girl didn't have much interest in taking a bath. She was not yet at the age where she cared too much about her image, so she said in vain: "I will go for a morning jog later..."

As she spoke, she reached out for the bread, but Richelieu scolded her: "Wash your hands before touching it!"

Joan of Arc put down the fried eggs on the dining table. Vauquelin and Surcouf had gotten up early, and they didn't start eating until they thought about it. Richelieu was not particular about eating, talking or sleeping, but both Vauclin and Surcouf were quiet little girls, full of energy only because of their dreams, but her current target was croissants.

Halfway through breakfast, Richelieu said to the little girls, "We have been here for a long time. Do you want to travel? See all over the world."

"Think about it." Xuan Xiang's cheeks bulged, but he hadn't swallowed the food yet.

"Then where do you want to go?"

"I want to see the waterfall..."

Richelieu just asked symbolically, and she said: "Let's go to Sichuan Show."

Kong Xiang bit the iron fork and said, "Where is that?"

"Chuanxiu is a very prosperous city."

Travel, no matter where you go, the little girl agrees.

Richelieu and Joan of Arc looked at each other and said, "Wait while I go to Chen Xiangchan's garrison."

She communicated with Joan of Arc when she got up in the morning, and she would not change her decision easily. However, she had received a lot of help from the other party during these times, so she still wanted to say something.

Kong Xiang heard Richelieu's words and said, "I'll go too."

"up to you."

"Then I've finished eating." After receiving the affirmative answer, Xuan Xiang finished the bread, drank the milk in one breath, and pressed the cup on the table. Kong Xiang stretched out her hand to wipe the milk stains from the corner of her mouth. She ran to the door, waved and said, "I'm leaving first."

…

Chen Xiangchan's garrison is not very big, with many abandoned warehouses and buildings.

When Richelieu found them, she was in the warehouse. She saw Chen Xiangxuan and New Orleans pointing at a pile of steel. She was a little confused. She heard New Orleans say yesterday that she wanted her admiral to build a Quincy. Is this really going to be built?

Chen Xiangxuan saw Richelieu and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten."

"It's so quick, let's just eat some casually. I saw the Joan of Arc buying a lot of bread yesterday... Actually, I think our two families can join forces and open fire together, and you don't have to go to so much trouble to prepare breakfast. Don’t worry about it, it’s as it should be, after all, I have to rely on you a lot, and my garrison can’t do anything if it encounters a deep-sea battleship.”

Richelieu smiled and gave no answer. Chen Xiangxuan knew Richelieu's sensitivity and didn't want to get help casually, so she didn't continue talking. She looked at the resources in the warehouse and said, "Richelieu, come and see, what kind of resources do you think should be used to build Quincy?"

"I have no idea."

She would not just build it casually. After walking out of the warehouse, Chen Xiangxuan looked at the garden inside the governor's mansion. She pinched her chin and said, "Think about it a little more metaphysically. There are many trees planted in the garden of our governor's mansion. If there are trees in the garden, then it is a dilemma, a dilemma. Before building, I have to dig out all the trees here."

New Orleans laughed and said, "Superstitious."

"No matter how careful you are in construction, you can never be too careful. What if something happens?"

New Orleans nodded, thought for a while and then said: "But we have to plant trees in the future, otherwise what else can we put there?"

Chen Xiangxuan said: "Richelieu, you should know a lot, do you have any comments?"

Richelieu was a heroic knight if he was wearing a close-fitting uniform with a rapier. If you wear a beret, a shirt and a hip skirt, you will look like an urban beauty. Her long hair was pulled into a bun, she wore a fishtail skirt, high heels, and a black veil, and she became a lady again. When it comes to taste and fashion, Richelieu is not bad. He can give opinions on many things. This is something everyone knows.

Richelieu said: "Plant trees after the construction is completed. You are not short of money anyway."

Chen Xiangxuan's garrison has been running for a long time. As an admiral, there is basically no shortage of money. Of course, if you are not short of money, you are not short of money. If you want to compare with those truly rich people, you still think too much. It's just that the ship girl headquarters has a salary and is connected with the local government. She can still get wages and have a lot of extra money. The tree was dug up and replanted. There was really no shortage of money.

Of course, Richelieu knew it was just a joke.

Chen Xiangxuan spread her hands and said: "I don't have any money. Haha, let's pray to God and pray to Buddha first. I just think that I am so pious and haven't built Quincy. If I build a battleship... it will feel even worse. good."

Passing through the courtyard of the governor's palace, the shrill bell rang, and Richelieu knew that it was breakfast time here.

"Richelieu, let's have some together."

"Need not."

"You come here because you have something to do."

Richelieu straightened her long hair, looked at the sky and the direction where the sun was rising, and said, "Well, we are going out once."

"Do you finally want to travel? If you want to travel, you can take out the blue yacht of our town house. Anyway, we still have one. It's time for you to have fun around. It feels like your previous life was like penance. , I really think you are Cardinal Richelieu...how many days do you plan to go?"

"I don't know yet, but if everything goes well, I will probably never come back again."

Chen Xiangxuan's voice paused. She turned her head to look at Richelieu and said, "Why do you want to leave? Is there anything I did wrong?"

"No, you take good care of us."

When he was young, he went abroad to study and was proficient in many languages. Chen Xiangxuan was naturally talented and thought of what happened last night for a moment. Richelieu and the other ship girls gathered together, and she had heard what they said. She remembered that Richelieu had asked about Chuan Xiu on the yacht.

"Are you going to Chuanxiu?"

"Um."

"You told me before that you have an admiral. I remembered that name, it seems to be that name, Su Gu. But if you think about it clearly, there are so many people named Su Gu in the world, including Chen There are also many names like Xiangxuan."

"Bismarck, Lexington, Saratoga, or Admiral, there shouldn't be anything wrong."

"That's right. Well, ah, um, it's a good thing to find the admiral."

Chen Xiangxuan kept fiddling with the watch on his right wrist with his left hand, feeling a little uncomfortable. She also knew that her thoughts were wrong, but many things could not be tolerated without knowing that they were wrong.

Chen Xiangxuan lowered his head and thought to himself that he was the one who didn't want to have sex with Richelieu, so how could he have any power to retain him. He walked a few steps along the corridor inside the town hall and said, "Congratulations... Can you tell me your story? You were always reluctant to tell me before."
