Chapter 30: Clouds Rising from the Stream and the Sun Sets in the Pavilion
It was not until Mutsu and Zuikaku were preparing to help the admiral who was sleeping on the tatami to leave that they were discussing how to help him. One person would help on the left side, one on the right side, or one on his back while another helped to help. The three little girls who were sitting at the table next to them and playing with their tablets realized something was wrong and started to whisper.
"The admiral seems drunk." Xiao Zhai said.
"I told you, Sister Mutsu seemed to be drinking Admiral wine, and you said 'oh' and said it was okay." Xiaohua whispered, "Now it's okay, what should I do?"
"I don't know." Xiao Zhai said sullenly, and after thinking for a while, "I'll call Sister Miao and tell her that the Admiral is drunk here, and see what to do."
"No need." Xiaohua said, "I'll ask sister North Carolina to come over."
"You don't have to call North Carolina sister, she came so far. Our German residential area is next door to here, and it will be here in no time." Xiao Zhai raised his hand and showed the children's watch on his wrist, intending to take the initiative, "I'll call Sister Miao."
Xiaohua grabbed her wrist to stop her from making the call, and with his other hand he pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket and said, “I called North Carolina sister, and Washington sister.”
Only the hand wearing the children's watch was held, and the other hand was free to move. Xiao Zhai grabbed Xiao Hua's hand holding the phone and said, "You actually have a phone."
"I'm not like you who plays games as soon as I pick up a phone, so my sister gave me a phone."
"Why didn't you tell me you had a cell phone? Were you worried that I would play with it?"
"Sister Bismarck told me that I can't let you play with your phone."
"Sister Miao told you not to let me play with my phone, so you won't give it to me?"
"Of course."
Xiaohua suddenly realized that the key to the problem was not here, so she said, "Let go, I'm going to make a phone call."
Xiao Zhai of course refused to let go and said, "Let go of my hand first."
Seeing Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua holding each other's hands, Xiao Luo of course had a children's watch that could make calls at any time, but the innocent child had no idea that while Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua were both injured in the fight, she would take advantage of the conflict and gain the upper hand. She was so anxious that she almost jumped up and said, "Stop fighting."
"Let go first."
"Let go first."
However, the two of them would never listen to Xiao Luo. They stared at each other, neither of them would admit defeat, and their friendship was about to capsize.
Xiao Luo was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pan.
Here, Mutsu and Zuikaku were already supporting Su Xia on the left and right as they walked in the corridor.
Su Xia was actually still somewhat conscious, but not very clear. Otherwise, a man who had completely lost consciousness would not be easily supported by two girls. He knew where the two people were going to take him to rest, and he also recognized the girl with short light chestnut hair, and said, "Zuihe."
"Um."
"Let me go, I can walk by myself... It shouldn't be a problem, it's not a big problem."
"You're fine." Zuikaku pressed his shoulder against Su Xia's arm, and with his left hand, he grabbed his hand that was hanging from her shoulder. "It's too heavy. And I remind you, don't touch me casually."
"I won't touch you randomly. I'm a gentleman."
In fact, there is no problem if you don’t remind me, but once you remind me, it will be a big problem.
Su Xia had just traveled to this world during the day, and had not yet accepted everything. At this time, he was drunk and not very clear-headed. He only had one thought: This must be a dream, otherwise how could it be possible to travel through time and space? And there were also ship girls. This situation could only happen in dreams.
Thinking of this, there was no need to have any psychological burden in the dream, and he almost subconsciously wanted to take action.
"Ah, Admiral, what are you doing?" Zuikaku screamed when she felt something strange, and now she grabbed Su Xia's hand tightly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't mess with... your ears! Admiral, do you really want me to pour a bucket of cold water on your head?"
Su Xia didn't have the clear mind to apologize, explain or refute.
Su Xia stared at Zuikaku's ears covered by her hair, and vaguely saw the soft skin and light fine hair behind her ears. Her neck and shoulders were also thin and slender. Because she lowered her head, the back collar of her kyudo uniform was open, and she could see her beautiful back. He smiled and said, "I like Zuikaku the most."
Truth comes out after drinking. Zuikaku is a little shy: "Don't talk, your mouth reeks of alcohol."
"I also want the admiral to say that he likes me." Mutsu said faintly beside him, and then paused, "Admiral, admiral, look here, here."
"You idiot, don't talk and just help her." Because Mutsu wanted Su Xia to lean towards her, everyone almost fell down at one point, and Zuikaku couldn't help but shout.
After stumbling for a while, Zuikaku managed not to fall. She held onto Suxia's hand to prevent him from moving her, and tilted her head. Then she realized that she was going in the wrong direction, so she said, "Mutsu, I'll help you. Don't you look at the road? You're going the wrong way."
"That's right."
"Are you drunk too?"
"Take a detour. Don't let Akagi, Kaga, and especially Kongo see you."
"Okay... hurry up, I can't stand it anymore."
After a lot of trouble, they finally arrived at Mutsu's residence. Zuikaku watched Mutsu supporting the admiral standing in front of the door. She stood under the eaves and tidied her messy hair. She shook it gently, wiped her ears, and tidied up her wrinkled clothes. She said, "That's it. I'm leaving."
"Take care, I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Zuikaku took a last look and saw Mutsu supporting the admiral, who was leaning on Mutsu and turned around to go back to the izakaya.
While walking on the road, Zuikaku couldn't help but look back. There was no one under the eaves. Mutsu helped the admiral into the house.
Zuikaku suddenly recalled the plots in the books he had read before, and thought about it as he walked.
At this time, Mutsu must have helped the admiral into the room and put him on the bed. Then she stood by the bedside, watching the admiral sleeping soundly on the bed, unbuttoning his clothes one by one, touching his forehead with her finger, sliding her finger along his forehead, across his nose, and staying on his lips for a moment, and then began to help him undress...
Thinking about all sorts of things, Zuikaku squatted on the ground under the bright moonlight, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders shaking. What on earth am I doing?
In the pub, Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua refused to give in to each other until Shokaku came to them and said, "You two little guys are still arguing here? Your sister Mutsu has already taken your admiral away."
Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua looked to the side together, and the admiral, sister Mutsu, and sister Zuikaku were all gone. They let go at the same time, ran out of the izakaya, and looked around. There was no one in sight, only the long shadows of the big trees under the illumination of the street lights, and the stone lanterns standing along the path.
Xiao Zhai dialed the children's watch and shouted, "Sister Meow."
Xiaohua stood in the corridor under the eaves, holding the pillar with one hand and holding the phone to her ear with the other hand: "Sister North Carolina, let me tell you..."
The three little girls ran away, and only a few people were left in the pub.
The pink -haired girl with twin ponytails was still buried in her laptop, her fingers kept clicking away, making a constant crackling sound. However, the large pile of food that had been placed on the table in front of her, as well as the thick omelette that Zuikaku had taken over, were all gone. What happened in the izakaya had nothing to do with her.
Shokaku stood by the window, a little worried about how his sister was doing after helping Mutsu carry the admiral back.
The girl in the yukata was clearing the table. She picked up each wine bottle, sniffed it gently, and wrinkled her nose.
It turned out that the little girls who were sitting around all ran away.
The JK-looking girls were chattering away, their eyes sparkling, and their slender fingers with nail polish tapping on their phones.
"I sent the photo of Mutsu and Zuikaku helping the admiral leave to the group."
"Send it, send it."
"Send it quickly."
This night is destined to be restless.
