Chapter 184 Don't Go astray
After saying goodbye to Ella and leaving the office building, the sky outside had already darkened. But it was only the kind of darkness that one gets in the evening, and it was not time for the street lights to be turned on yet. On the way back, on the cobblestone road with flower beds on both sides, Su Xia lowered her head all the way.
"Admiral, why do you look so worried?" asked King George V of England.
"My performance just now was okay, right?" Su Xia said. He had been worried about his performance.
Although the KanColle headquarters was very sincere and there was no intrigue throughout the process, it was completely a normal organization caring about the members. Of course, it is also possible that they tried to test him, but he didn't find out. It's similar to asking during a blind date, how much is the property fee for your garage. It's just a simple question to test whether you have a house, a car, a parking space, and the quality of the community.
Su Xia felt that his performance was not a big problem, and it might be because he was too confused. It is easy to be wise after the event, and he could have performed better at that time.
"There is nothing wrong with the admiral's performance. If there was any problem, I would have told you," King George V of England replied.
They had already discussed it in advance. King George V was only responsible for replenishment and checking as a safety, and the rest was left to Su Xia. Su Xia hoped to be trained to become an excellent admiral, and could not rely on , although it was okay to rely on the ship girl every time.
"That's right," King George V hesitated, "There's nothing wrong with the admiral's performance, but he behaves a little like those newcomers."
"He is a newcomer." Su Xia said, "At least when it comes to dealing with other forces, he is a complete newcomer."
"As long as there are no major problems, it's fine." Su Xia said confidently, "The first time is a little bit harder, the second time is more familiar, just practice a few more times and it will be fine."
"I'm just worried about this time. You said I acted like a new admiral, right? I wonder if the KanColle headquarters will think I'm easy to bully." Su Xia hesitated for a moment, "No problem, I'm just unskilled. If they really treat me like a toddler with gold in a busy city, they'll suffer. I think the KanColle headquarters is still very sincere and won't do things that bully people casually, otherwise they wouldn't be able to operate until now. "
Who hasn't been a novice yet?
If you bully others at will, don’t you worry that they will take revenge on you when they grow up?
There is no such stupid organization.
When he was still in the garrison, the Victory had made sufficient preparations for him, which made Su Xia feel very pressured.
After arriving at the KanColle headquarters and experiencing it for himself, it was not what he imagined. Simple communication was full of traps and he could easily fall into a quagmire. However, it was obvious that the KanColle headquarters had a lot of questions about his previous performance, and he could only give some vague answers.
King George V of England walked beside Su Xia. Seeing her admiral full of fighting spirit, he finally couldn't help but speak and shouted, "Admiral..."
"Um."
"We have a lot of people in our garrison, unlike those garrisons which only have a few people. There is no other way, the admiral must come forward."
"Then?"
King George V of England thought for a moment and said, "The admiral can deal with other forces, but he should not be too concerned about it. Just leave it to others. Too many people can take on that responsibility. The admiral should not waste his time on that matter. It is better to spend his time on other things."
"Uh..." Su Xia had never expected that he had just started to develop a fighting spirit and needed to train more and learn how to deal with other forces, which was a skill that an excellent admiral must master. King George V of England actually objected, "Shouldn't we be too concerned about that problem? What should we spend our time on?"
King George V of England said: "When dealing with other forces, the admiral can appoint a diplomat and leave it to the diplomat. For trivial matters such as the garrison, the admiral only needs to set a general direction, and leave the rest to the Victory and the secretary ship."
"The admiral has the time," King George V paused and said, "to spend more time with everyone, play with the children on the destroyers, tell them stories. Take a walk with the girls and play ball with them, such as badminton or tennis."
King George V of England took his hand and said, "There are so many wedding ships, but in the end you sleep alone. Is that really okay?"
Su Xia stammered, "Is it more important to spend more time with everyone than to manage the tutelary fort?"
"Because there is only one admiral, if you waste too much time on trivial matters, you will have less time to spend with everyone."
King George V continued, "Don't mention that there are so many people who can help the admiral and help the admiral manage the garrison. Even if there weren't so many people, the admiral must work hard to ensure that everyone lives a comfortable life... Compared to a comfortable living environment, the admiral's company is more important than anything else."
"Ah?" Su Xia was surprised. I want to become an excellent admiral with my work ability, and now you tell me that I only need three companions?
"Of course," said King George V. "The admiral can learn a little, but knowing how to use it and not knowing how to use it are two different things. It's not good to know nothing. The admiral must first know how to manage the garrison, and then delegate power to everyone. If you don't know anything, you'll be easily deceived."
King George V of England said: "What I mean is that the admiral only needs to know a little bit, not so much. Just like this experience, you should know roughly how to deal with the KanColle headquarters, and the rest can be left to everyone. You shouldn't waste all your time here."
"I understand." Su Xia didn't know what to say.
Then a small episode.
The hotel was getting closer and closer, and it was almost there. Su Xia saw the admiral again, whom she had seen in the cafe before.
The other party was obviously staying in the hotel, so meeting him again was not a coincidence.
Su Xia was thinking whether he should say hello, but when the other party approached him, he suddenly walked very fast.
"A new one...what's his origin?"
Su Xia vaguely heard the admiral say this to his ship girl.
Regardless of those inexplicable things, they returned to their residence and found that everyone had returned. The sofa, table, and cabinet were filled with various paper bags.
"You were out for just a few hours, and you bought so many things?" Su Xia glanced at the paper bags, most of which contained clothes and shoes.
Saratoga said, "It's a rare trip... Brother-in-law, you don't know that buying clothes outside is much cheaper than buying clothes in the garrison. There are more varieties and you can choose whatever you want. Unlike buying clothes in the garrison, there are also many varieties, but they are expensive. Everyone buys there, and it's super easy to wear the same clothes as others."
"Oh." Su Xia responded, "What clothes did you buy?"
"Just a little bit," Saratoga counted on her fingers, "T-shirts, shirts, jeans, skirts, etc. Oh, and JK clothes, Lolita, and Hanfu, which seem to be quite popular now. I bought a little bit of all of them. I didn't buy a bag. I don't like to carry a bag with me. It's so troublesome."
Su Xia looked at Lexington and asked, "What did Lexington buy?"
“I didn’t buy it,” Lexington said.
"Jia Jia bought so much, but you didn't buy anything?" Su Xia was surprised.
"I... don't know what to buy. I'm not very good at choosing clothes." Lexington said, "The Admiral hasn't bought any clothes yet. He still needs to go out and buy some. I'll help the Admiral buy clothes when the time comes. And the Admiral can help me see which clothes look good."
Saratoga stood nearby, she was really dumbfounded.
I'm just wondering why you, sister, are only concerned with helping me choose clothes. I thought you cared about me so much, but did you have this plan?
You really have the nerve to say that you don't know how to choose clothes. Even if you don't know how to choose clothes, there are so many of us and everyone can help you choose.
It's shameful and despicable, but I've learned a new trick.
The Lv84 Saratoga becomes the Lv85 Saratoga.
Of course Su Xia would not forget the three little guys.
"What did Xiaoluo buy?"
"Clothes." Xiao Luo said, "Sister Prince bought me clothes. They are beautiful clothes."
"What did Xiaohua buy?"
"I don't need clothes. I want to buy some books." Xiaohua said. She wanted to go to the bookstore, but no one else had the plan except her, and she was not allowed to run around alone.
"What did Xiao Zhai buy again?"
"My sister-in-law helped me buy clothes. But I didn't buy anything because I had no money." Xiao Zhai was very straightforward. Apart from the things that everyone helped buy, she had no money to buy anything.
It's almost time to go have dinner.
After dinner, there is still time to go out for a walk.
Among them, Su Xia needed to buy something, and the things bought by everyone were definitely not so close-fitting and to his liking. In fact, Su Xia was very casual, and all kinds of clothes were almost the same. He just wanted a computer, but everyone thought he was not satisfied.
In other cities, a boy shopping with a bunch of girls would definitely attract attention. But in this city, which is the headquarters of the Shipgirls, admirals and Shipgirls are so common that such situations are unnoticed.
Even so, it is still a little worrying to have so many girls around a man. Especially when those girls are responsible for paying and leading the way when shopping, in short, those girls are in the active position. The man seems to be kept by a rich woman, or they are kept together.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Su Xia returned to the KanColle headquarters. She thought it was time to take a break, since the three little guys seemed completely exhausted anyway.
Saratoga is still full of spirit.
"Brother-in-law, let's go to the bar."
"It's so late, why go to a bar..."
"We have to go there at night. Why go to a bar during the day?" Saratoga said excitedly, "Let's go and sunbathe the boats."
"I told you, I have no interest in drying boats."
"Don't you want to communicate with other admirals? That bar in the headquarters of the ship girls has the most admirals." Saratoga said, "Also, there are a lot of ship girls there. The wandering ship girls who usually work in the headquarters like to go there for a drink after work."
"I have no interest in showing off my boats. There are already so many shipgirls, there's no need for that." Su Xia said, "But if you want to go, it's fine to go."
