Chapter 32: Going Out Shopping
After a good night's sleep, Qin Ge walked out of the room as soon as it was light in the morning and ran on the road in the faculty area to complete his daily long-distance running task.
And not long after he left the room, two figures walked out of his house and headed towards the practice field in the faculty area. They were the Centaur and Noshiro.
They are now accustomed to going to the practice area for morning exercises together when Qin Ge goes out for a morning run. In Noshiro's words, "The commander is so diligent, so it would be unreasonable for us, as ship girls, not to work hard."
Time quickly came to morning. After finishing morning exercise, Qin Ge returned to the room to wash up, while Noshiro and Centaur also returned from the practice ground.
"Commander , when are we going to see Senior Mikasa?" the Centaur asked Qin Ge.
"It's definitely not a good idea to go empty-handed. How about we go out and buy something?" Qin Ge said to the Centaur and Noshiro beside him.
"I just don't know what Mikasa-senpai likes..." The Centaur said with some confusion.
Qin Ge smiled and said to the two of them, "I know this because I have been studying the KanColle illustrations these past two days, so I know a little bit about your preferences."
"Oh, really? Then Commander, what does Mikasa-senpai like?" asked the Centaur.
"She likes plastic models, especially ship models." Qin Ge said with a smile, "But I don't know if she has collected all the ship models after such a long time, but it must be right to give a ship model to Teacher Mikasa."
"Well, it's up to the Commander to decide!" The Centaur smiled, then turned around and saw Noshiro, "Commander, what does Noshiro-senpai like?"
Qin Ge turned his eyes to Noshiro. At this moment, even though Noshiro usually looked serious, her face was slightly red. But even so, she raised her head and looked at Qin Ge, wanting to hear something from him.
"Noshiro, that one is not detailed enough. There shouldn't be many Noshiros in this world, or maybe a girl as self-disciplined as Noshiro doesn't like many things?" Qin Ge said with a smile, "But I think, judging from what we've been doing together these past few days, she's dignified, elegant, and very rational. Maybe Noshiro likes a quiet environment the most? She can let go of the shackles on her body and indulge herself a little?"
Facing Qin Ge's narration, Noshiro blinked his eyes, neither admitting nor denying, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Ge became softer.
"The commander's answer was too vague." The Centaur laughed.
Qin Ge spread his hands, "I can't help it. After all, we have only known each other for a short time. Perhaps after we have known each other for a longer time, I will be more certain. Just like you, I only feel that the Centaur is usually very diligent and likes to study very much. He always thinks that he is born after the war and lacks something from other wartime predecessors. He has a good personality, is very humble, and is optimistic and positive."
"Oh, Commander, you spoke so highly of me. But seniors are seniors. They have experienced the baptism of war, and it is worth it for a junior like me who lives in peacetime to learn from them." The Centaur said with a blush.
"Haha, that's true." Qin Ge nodded with a smile, "I've finished washing up too, why don't you guys pack up and go out together? You haven't been around the city since you were built, so let's go around today. And I have some spare money here, so I can buy you some clothes and the like."
"Okay, we'll go get ready then," the Centaur said happily before he and Noshiro headed off to their rooms.
After they finished packing, they left their rooms and headed out of the school. Actually, it wasn't really to go to the city center, because there was a very large shopping district near the Commander Academy, where basically everything was available. However, because school hadn't started yet, there were not many people going there.
Walking to the pedestrian street, everyone quickly found a model shop, which not only had ship models, but also models of tanks and airplanes, and of course some children's toys. After all, many destroyer girls are children, so it is normal to buy some toys to appease them.
After buying several simulated ship models at the enthusiastic greeting of the shop owner, Qin Ge took the Centaur and Noshiro to a clothing store nearby.
But it's strange, most of the clothing stores in this row sell women's clothing, only one or two in the corner sell men's clothing. But think about it, facing such young and beautiful ship girls, commanders like to dress their ship girls up better, as for themselves? The three sets of clothes in the Azur Lane Commander Academy are enough wear, and if they are worn out, you can directly apply to the instructor and the academy will reissue them.
When I walked into the clothing store, I saw the owner was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Qin Ge and two ship girls walking in, she greeted them warmly.
Qin Ge, who had never accompanied a girl to buy clothes, was very welcome to the boss lady's advice. After all, the two ship girls themselves were not picky and just looked at him. He thought everything was good, but he couldn't buy everything, so the boss lady's help was timely.
"Commander, look at this ship girl in a sailor suit. She is very suitable for wearing this kind of solemn and elegant clothes, which makes her look very mature and stable. As for this elf-like ship girl, the most suitable one is this kind of light-colored gauze skirt, which makes her look very mysterious and noble." The proprietress stood beside Qin Ge and recommended the ship girl's clothes to him with just one glance. Her vision was very experienced.
Qin Ge couldn't help but sigh, it's true that there are top talents in every profession. This lady boss could actually feel the personality characteristics of the two ship girls just by feeling without looking at the ship girl illustrations. It's really amazing.
So following the boss lady's recommendation, Qin Ge picked out a dress for each of their ship girls. Noshiro wore a dark blue dress, while Centaur wore a light blue dress.
When Qin Ge handed the dresses to the two, he could clearly feel their happiness from their reactions. The Centaurs were naturally happy every day, and now even Noshiro, who usually a calm face, showed a hint of smile.
It can be seen that they particularly like the dresses selected by Qin Ge, whether it is because Qin Ge followed the boss lady's instructions or he chose them himself. In general, these two dresses were given to them by Qin Ge personally, so they like them very much.
The two of them took the two dresses and went into the dressing room. After a while, they came out wearing the dresses. As the lady boss said, the two dresses were perfect for them.
"Commander, how is it?" The Centaur said while turning around with a smile.
"Very beautiful." Qin Ge's words were a little dry, but the Centaur could tell that Qin Ge was praising her, so he smiled even more happily...
