[comprehensive] red tide

Under the proposal of Mr. Matthew, as one of the many people who were transferred to the Navy Headquarters in the business district, I was busy with only one day the next day. I personally feel that there is only one famous saying that was widely circulated on the Internet back then:

The Navy Headquarters is precipitously treating women as men and men as animals. '

——— Tired and not in love!in various senses.

Finally, when it was time for a shift break, I collapsed on the recliner in the room, vaguely hearing the groaning of rattling bones.

Both feet were almost my own, Nima!Starting at six o'clock in the morning, I was so busy that I couldn't keep my heels on the ground for ten consecutive hours, spinning like a top, it was terrible!An old bone is about to fall apart!

Turning over like a pancake, I couldn't help but raised my hand to wipe my face, and the corners of my mouth twitched violently.

When I go to work during the day~ It is indeed a spectacular sight to see so many people eating at the same time. Looking at the past, there are densely packed heads, and all kinds of tough men are waiting to eat neatly...

I heard that there are several canteens that are in the same situation as I was on the job here, because the navy staying in Marineford has not been allowed to eat outside in recent days, including generals of various ranks.

No wonder the logistics department complained endlessly~

It's no wonder that the salary offered by the Navy Headquarters is so generous this time, and the work content is so heavy that it makes people want to retreat after working all day.

However, it was only after going to work that I really had the feeling that the war was about to begin.

Although Marineford entered the curfew state a few days ago, after all, it does not feel as deep as it is now. Staying in the headquarters makes people feel that even the air is faintly filled with the chill of war.

The war is about to start...

…………

After thinking about it, I retracted my legs again and rubbed my joints slowly with my hands. While relieving my fatigue, I looked at the room I was in, and I felt like sighing.

After I packed up last night, I was led by Mr. Matthew to report to the Navy Headquarters. After the personnel in charge of logistics registered the information, I was assigned to the unified accommodation area along with a large number of temporary staff.

A building that looks like it should be temporarily vacant, and it looks like it should belong to the logistics department.

In a four-story building, every room on each floor is full of people who come to help. For some reason, I was allocated a single room, which was only one-third the size of the other rooms. The location is also rather subtle .

Not to mention that it is at the end of the corridor, but also because of architectural drawing planning and other reasons, it is independent of other row rooms. It seems to be an extra dead corner, but it is not wasted and used as a storage room.

That is to say, when I live here, apart from not being able to hear the movement of the next room, there is also no bathroom. To solve all kinds of unspeakable problems, I need to go to the common room to take a shower at night... ╮(╯﹏╰)╭.

Hey~ I really don't know if this is special care or special bullying.

I secretly speculated about the mentality of Mr. Matthew and the logistics department, and silently weighed the advance salary when I reported last night. After comparing, I shrugged, let go of the discomfort in my heart, and turned over.

Stretching, she went to the bed and picked up a change of clothes, hugged her in her arms, and walked slowly to the door, ready to go downstairs to take a bath in the public bathroom a little far away.

…………

When I went downstairs, I stopped and looked up at the sky, only to see the gray-orange glow reflecting the sky, a pale moon looming in the depths of the clouds, flying birds swaying past, and the faint smell of sea salt mixed with the autumn dusk wind.

From far away, there are loud and neat chants, like soldiers who have been training unremittingly, and there may be laughter from nowhere, wrapped in the aroma of coffee and food, swaying slowly, steadily and peacefully.

After being dazed for a while, I came back to my senses, tightened the clothes I held in my arms, and sighed for some reason I didn’t know why, then I started to walk along the green avenue towards the big bathroom Walk.

Yesterday~Because the room I was assigned...according to the words of the quartermaster, "public facilities can be used freely. After all, it is a temporary secondment. It is always inconvenient. I am really sorry~", so, besides the room key, I also Get a nameplate with free access to utilities.

So, the big bathroom, the laundry room, etc. Now I plan to take a look. It is said that there is a hot spring supply in the bathroom, take a bath, beauty and skin care, and relieve fatigue~╮(╯▽╰)╭.

…………

Walking through the green avenue, bypassing a huge training ground, it took a while to arrive at the building introduced by the logistics department, with a big [bath] printed on the door.

I stood outside the wooden fence like a country bumpkin, looking in through the gap, half-covered by the cloth curtain with the seagull logo printed on it, behind the corner of the long corridor, there seemed to be an echo of pleasant laughter, light and shallow. smell.

I stood there and lingered for a while, looking down at myself, I thought about it, and finally opened the curtain and stepped in.

Passing through the long corridor with dim light, passing the corner, dense water vapor blows towards your face, and you can see a lobby with a sofa for people to rest in the corner. There is no one at the counter, but there are a few people sitting on the sofa...

Uh~ talking and laughing... It looks like a man who has taken a shower and is chatting, and is casually dressed.

Seeing me coming in, the laughter of several people stopped, and the gazes they cast over seemed a little strange for no reason.

Looking around, I pursed my lips, carefully moved to the counter, took out the nameplate from my pocket, put it on the counter, and was wondering if I should ask, when I heard footsteps behind me.

"You are--"

Looking back at the person walking from the sofa, I lowered my head and tightened the clothes in my arms, "I'm sorry——"

After a few seconds, I noticed that the person who arrived turned his eyes from me to the counter, and then he seemed to have suddenly realized, and said, "Oh~ you are here on secondment, right?"

Then, another person on the other side of the sofa said in a deep voice, "The entrance to the female soldier's bathroom is the one on the right, just go in directly."

When I buried my head and entered the entrance of the passage on the right according to what the other party said, the sight following behind me... for some reason, it always made me feel very weird.

…………

Confused and unclear, I walked through a passage with two consecutive corners and opened the wooden door. I saw that there was no one in the locker room, and there were keys on the doors of the cabinets. That is to say, there was no user in the bathroom inside. ?

I randomly picked a cabinet to put my clothes in, and looked around before I changed clothes. I found that it was very clean. I could see that it was cleaned frequently, and there were traces of use. At this time, there was no one in the public facilities...

Is it because there are fewer women in the Navy Headquarters?Or is it not time to rest?

After preparing, while thinking aimlessly, he walked to the exit on the other side of the dressing room, picked up the bath towel on the shelf and wrapped it up before stepping on the threshold.

Then, choose a shower towel and wash your hair in vain~

After washing my hair, I wiped off the sweat from a busy day~ Finally, I felt comfortable and went deeper into the shower room, and entered the hot spring pool that was separated as an independent space.

Half-lying and soaking in the pool water over my shoulders, surrounded by warm water, I was so comfortable that I almost hummed, the meridians all over my body became smooth, I really don’t feel too good, ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

I removed the bath towel wrapped around my body, wrung out the water droplets a little, folded it and put it aside, after that, I coiled up my hair randomly to prevent it from being corroded by the sulfur water.

After that, I changed my posture, leaned against the pool wall, and closed my eyes comfortably.

…………

The semi-enclosed space is filled with water mist, and the smell of sulfur can be smelled in the breath. The quartz pool is more than ten meters in size, and I am the only one. Except for the soft sound of the water waves, it is quiet and empty.

Maybe the atmosphere is too peaceful, or maybe it's because I'm tired. After soaking in the hot spring for some time, I just feel that the whole person has become slack, lazy and sleepy.

I don’t want to move~ My consciousness seems to be blinded by the lingering water vapor, and I feel dazed, maybe there are too many things that happened yesterday and it was too chaotic, and then I was busy again. I can't even get excited.

…………

After forcing my mind to be sealed, my response to the outside world is slightly better than that of ordinary people, and most of it is also attributed to my sixth sense, my instinctive reaction.

So, when I realized that something was wrong, and the sense of presence that appeared without warning was approaching rapidly, it was too late for me to startle.

I hurriedly reached out to snatch the left wrist wrapped in the towel, but was caught, and before I could scream, my open mouth was tightly covered by the hand that came across.

The vision is more or less obstructed, I can only feel... the temperature of the palm attached to the wrist is very high... the tiger's mouth and the fingertips are covered with calluses... this kind of deja vu...

In just a split second, the visitor let go of his hand as if being scalded, followed by the sound of rushing water, the other party backed away suddenly, and bumped into something vaguely, maybe it was the wall of the pool.

"Anna?! Why do you..." After a pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "...here?"

It really is the general Aokiji!I widened my eyes, quickly raised my hand to cover my mouth, and swallowed back the scream that slipped to the tip of my tongue.

I give a big rub!

…………

Through the thick fog, he couldn't see what the other person's expression was like, but he thought of something for a moment, and his tone of voice seemed very... er, embarrassed?

"Ah sorry—you...why are you in the men's bathroom?"

"Isn't the female soldier's bathroom on the right?" The corners of my eyes twitched fiercely, and I didn't care about my bad tone. I gritted my teeth, "Someone told me that it's on the right." There is no sign outside, and the shower gel inside is also delicious of it?How can you tell it's for men? Hun Dan!

etc!I choked suddenly, and quickly recalled the pointers of the previous people...

Etc., etc!At that time, the person said 'to the right', which meant that he was facing me, and the direction of the sofa was facing the two entrances... I didn't pay much attention to it, and now I calculate it according to their respective angles... Isn't the right side that the person pointed to my left? !

What the hell!

No wonder the eyes glued to my back were all sorts of weird when I came in, I dare to see my head buried in the men's bathroom in surprise, hey!But having said that, will those people die if they sound a reminder?

The two people who couldn't see each other were so stiff, and after waiting for a while, General Aokiji said lazily, "I was rude just now, now you..."

"I'll leave right away!" I quickly touched the bath towel and wrapped it wetly around my body. With the corners of my mouth twitching violently, I said with difficulty, "Then what, I'm sorry——"

"But what if you go out and run into someone else head-on." He replied in an indescribable tone, "You... will be very dangerous~"

…………

I think you are more dangerous!Taking advantage of the deep fog, I pulled out the eyes of the dead fish, but my tone was cautiously negotiating, "Mr. Aokiji, can you please..."

For some reason, deep in the mist, the man's breath became unstable, but he didn't make any strange moves, he just stood there for a long time without moving.

I waited until I felt creepy and nervous, and the fingers holding the bath towel were so hard that they almost pinched the fibers of the fabric. The sound of water splashing when I walked outside sounded. After a while, his voice came again, "Excuse me, You... come out in a few minutes, and I will guard outside the locker room."

After listening for a long time, I was sure that the sound of distant footsteps passed through the bathroom and stayed in the dressing room for a while. After the rustling of the cloth stopped, the door opened and then closed again.

The man's breath was blocked.

I pursed my lips, hurriedly left the hot spring pool, ran to the dressing room in three steps at a time, took the key to open the locker, took out the clothes, turned around and ran back, hid in this independent space, shook my hands and feet, changed my clothes, and finally Holding a bunch of things again, I tiptoed to the bathroom exit.

As soon as he opened the door, he was blocked by the outstretched arm of the man leaning on the side.

"You—" The steady voice seemed a little hoarse, but for some reason, after speaking, the man fell silent again.

I keenly felt that this person's eyes circled around my body, and then the focus of his eyes stopped on my hair that was too high to let go... Or should I say, he was staring at my ears...

Ears... I subconsciously raised my hand to touch my ears, thought for a while, and shrank back...the ears, by the way, there are souvenirs brought back from the Chambord Islands, a large trace left by General Huang Yuan...not yet completely faded...

…………

After waiting for a while, I heard an unintelligible laugh from the man, the arm blocking the way was slowly retracted, and in the lowered gaze, the legs standing by the door slowly stood up straight .

"Although it may be nosy."

When he spoke again, General Aokiji's tone returned to his usual lazy and casual tone, and there was no other abnormality in his words, which vaguely seemed to be that kind of strange kindness, "It's better for you to leave this island earlier, Anna Miss."

I raised my gaze and found his eyes, and then I was a little dazed.

The man who looked down from a high position seemed to be hiding strange emotions in his slightly squinted eyes, as if he had struggled for a long time and finally made some difficult decision, half solemn and half melancholy.

The faint despair mixed with the shallow sadness...

"War is too cruel for a girl like you." While speaking, his hand hanging by his side moved slightly, as if he was about to lift it up, but he abruptly canceled some intentions before taking any action.

He smiled calmly at me, but slowly, slowly clenched his hands into fists, "You are still young, you should go to other islands to enjoy your life freely, and don't stay in such a dangerous place."
