Chapter 27: Making a Move
As soon as he entered the izakaya, Su Xia noticed several eyes looking at him. He didn't know why they were looking at him - it was his first time as the admiral of the garrison to come to the izakaya, Mutsu's arm was entangled, or the three little girls following behind him, or a combination of all of the reasons.
"Let me see where you guys can sit, Admiral... You probably aren't used to sitting on your knees." Mutsu saw where she used to sit, Shokaku and Zuikaku looking at her. She said nothing, her eyes quickly swept across a corner of the photo, "This way."
Su Xia Ke followed the host's wishes and sat down with Mutsu at a table in the corner of the izakaya.
"Admiral, what would you like to eat?" Mutsu handed him the menu he picked up while passing by the bar.
Su Xia took the menu but didn't look at it. He said, "I just ate at Lexington, and I'm still full... just come and take a look."
Mutsu smiled and said, "Since you are here, please support us a little and spend some money."
"You brought me here just to ask me to take care of your business?"
"Yes and no."
There was actually some time before dinner, and it was hard to refuse Mutsu's hospitality. Su Xia took the laminated menu and took a quick look, secretly smacking his lips. No wonder Lexington said that the cost of the garrison was high, the price was really a bit expensive, he thought for a while and said, "One serving of charcoal grilled saury."
He ordered some snacks and pushed the menu to the three little girls.
"Admiral, will you treat us?" Xiao Zhai stretched out his hand the longest and took the menu.
"Otherwise, do you have money?" Su Xia asked back, then laughed, "I thought about it, you called me out, so you should treat me."
"No, I have no money." Xiao Zhai said quickly.
"I have it, New Year's money, but I haven't used it. I'll ask the admiral for help." Xiao Luo interrupted.
"You haven't spent all your New Year's money yet? I spent all of mine the next day."
"How come you spent all that New Year's money the next day?" Xiaohua said in surprise.
"Just top up some 648 and it's gone." Xiao Zhai said indifferently. She fiddled with the menu, "Xiao Luo has money, Xiao Luo will treat us."
"Yes." Xiao Luo nodded heavily, "It's my treat."
"The admiral won't ask us to treat you." It's just a joke from the adults, do you take it seriously? Xiaohua hesitated and said, "It's hard to say... Xiaoluo, you don't have to pay, I'll pay, I have money."
"I'll treat you, I'll treat you, you don't have to pay." The little girl actually planned to pay. Su Xia complained, "Xiao Hua, do you think I am so bad?"
"Tender lamb chops and overnight dried horse mackerel." Xiao Zhai held up the menu, "I want these two."
Xiaohua said, "You've already had dinner, why did you order so much?"
"The admiral is treating us, let's have a grand meal." Xiao Zhai showed the menu to Xiao Hua, "What do you want?"
"I'm full and don't want anything." Xiaohua said.
If you don't want anything, it will make me look greedy, Xiao Zhai advised: "If you want one and nothing, it will make us, the admiral, look bad."
Xiaohua looked at Xiaozhai with disdain and said, "Do you think I don't know what you think?"
Xiaohua didn't want to order at first, but since she didn't want to order, Xiaozhai had to order for her, or he could order what he liked himself.
Xiao Luo also ordered one.
Su Xia took the menu back and looked at something: "Order another drink, let me see..." Most of the menu was alcohol, and children definitely couldn't drink alcohol. He was not interested in alcohol, of course, if everyone was drinking at the dinner party, he wouldn't mind drinking a little, but if he was alone, forget it, "Juice or Coke?"
"Coke, Coke." Xiao Zhai cheered, "Happy water for waste otaku."
Su Xia handed the menu back to Mutsu and said, "That's it."
The little master of the house said, "Sister Mutsu, the admiral is here to spend money, do you want a discount?"
"Admiral, the master of the garrison, such a big shot, will you close the store if I don't give you a discount?" Mu Ao looked at Su Xia sadly and asked, then smiled, with seductive eyes, she raised her hands and opened them, "A hug is 50% off, a kiss is 10% off, how much discount do you want, Admiral?"
"I don't even need a discount. I've always sold my art, not my body." Su Xia was not shy at all. At this moment, he found that Xiao Zhai had thrown himself on Xiao Luo and covered her ears. Xiao Luo blinked innocently. He coughed awkwardly. This was indeed not something you could say in front of a child, but your performance was a bit exaggerated.
Su Xia took out her cell phone, looked around, and said, "How do I pay?"
"Admiral, scan this." Mutsu took out his cell phone and placed it on the table.
"No, you are adding a friend."
"That's right, add friends and send red envelopes."
Su Xia pursed her lips and said without saying anything more, "Okay, how much?"
Mutsu put away his phone and sighed: "Admiral, think about it, how can I possibly take your money?"
"Give what is due," Su Xia said. "I heard about it from Lexington."
When he first heard from Lexington that everything in this garrison would cost money, he also felt concerned about it.
After listening to the explanation, it is unfair to simply let someone pay for something since the garrison is so big. Some people care too much about their reputation, and they will feel uncomfortable if you let them eat and take things for free. The big pot meal has no motivation, and the more you work, the more you get. It is indeed not nice to talk about money for everything, and it does not seem like a family, but it is indeed the best solution. Sisters should settle accounts clearly.
In fact, there was a point system as a substitute in the beginning. It sounded better than talking about money directly. Everyone earned points by working, attacking, and going on expeditions. The points could be exchanged for various things from the garrison, but in the end it felt too troublesome.
"Then consider it Mutsu's treat and put it on Mutsu's account." Mutsu did not comment.
Mutsu didn't want any money, and Su Xia didn't insist. She just watched Mutsu run behind the bar and pull up a girl in a yukata, as if she was giving instructions on a job.
Su Xia didn't necessarily stare at Mutsu, but looked at him for a moment and then turned to the other guests in the pub.
The pink-haired girl with twin ponytails sat alone in the corner. There was a laptop and a large plate of food on the table in front of her. She was definitely a foodie. Su Xia remembered that she just glanced at this side at first, but soon ignored it and buried her head in the laptop, typing away.
The girl who looked like a JK was looking over here and whispering, raising her phone from time to time to take pictures. When she noticed that he was looking over, she quickly put away her phone and stuck out her tongue.
Several little girls kept looking over here. One of them stood up and seemed to want to run over, but was stopped by her friend.
Su Xia finally looked at the two people sitting by the window. The long-haired woman who looked like a wife was kneeling, and the woman with short light chestnut hair was sitting cross-legged.
Xiao Zhai noticed his gaze and said, "Sister Shokaku and Sister Zuikaku."
There was no need for Xiao Zhai to introduce them; Su Xia easily recognized the sisters.
Historically, the Shokaku and Zuikaku belonged to the 5th Air Fleet. As aircraft carriers, they were naturally famous and participated in many naval battles starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor.
In the game, the two sisters are only average in terms of strength. Shokaku had almost no chance to appear from beginning to end, and Zuikaku could still be used after the transformation, but unfortunately her skills were completely non-aggressive, and as an aircraft carrier, the most important thing was the opening, so she was quickly eliminated.
Speaking of portraits, Su Xia didn't know why, but she liked the two sisters very much at first sight. In fact, she still preferred Zuikaku. Her portrait was not very attractive, but it completely hit her cute spot, whether it was the standing posture, the Kyudo uniform, or the short light chestnut hair.
Unfortunately, I missed the chance to get them because I joined the game late. When I finally got the chance to get the two sisters, I don’t remember whether it was through an event or through construction. Anyway, after I got them, I immediately arranged them to be secretary ships, and there were exercises. The rings were delayed quite a bit.
The illustrations are beautiful, and the girls are even prettier. You could say he was greedy for their bodies, but when Su Xia looked at the two sisters, especially the younger sister, Zuikaku, the girl with short hair, he really had an urge to go up and talk to her.
Su Xia was about to find an excuse to go up and talk to them, but before he could do so, Mutsu came back with three cups of Coke, a tablet computer that he placed in front of the three little lolis, and a bottle of wine in front of him.
Su Xia looked at the bottle of wine and said, "We didn't order a drink?"
"No, I ordered the wine," Mutsu replied.
"I don't drink."
"I don't believe it."
Su Xia picked up the bottle of wine, turned it over and over to find the alcohol content, and asked, "The low alcohol content is still drinkable, but the high alcohol content is really unbearable. I get drunk after just a little bit."
"I don't know what the alcohol content is... Anyway, there is almost no smell of alcohol, just like an alcoholic beverage." Mutsu said, "Anyway, I will drink with the admiral, so that's okay, right?"
