Chapter 4: Clubs
Xiao Zhai walked in front, followed closely by Su Xia.
Su Xia has been in this world for quite some time, but it is certainly not long either, not even half a day, and so far he has not fully accepted the reality.
I was lost for a long time, and at that time I had no mood to appreciate the scenery of the garrison. Now that things have come to this, I have accepted the reality and went to the small house to get the proposal. It seems that there are still a lot of things to do next, and I am finally not so lost.
Su Xia looked around along the way. As far as the eye could see, there were lush and verdant banyan trees, camphor trees, and phoenix trees, and buildings with white walls and red tiles covered with vines.
The most noteworthy thing is the roadblock on the roadside - the Galo roadblock. Galo is a mascot in the game, and here it is a white mysterious creature that appears with the ship girl. It has a single horn and a round body. It can be used as a pet or as food. It is wrapped in bamboo leaves and is a zongzi, which is very good for making sushi.
Su Xia is definitely not a talkative person. At least after just experiencing such a big thing and being in an unfamiliar environment, he prefers to watch more, listen more, and talk less. This is also the experience he has learned from working as a corporate slave for so many years.
Compared to him, Xiao Zhai talked a lot, chattering all the way. It's so hot now, everyone stays in the room. The sun is so bright, the leaves seem to wilt. It hasn't rained for a long time. The day before yesterday, there was a problem with the substation, and there was no electricity for a long time.
She noticed Su Xia's wandering gaze, and followed his gaze to see the magnolia tree, the weathervane on the black-painted street lamp, the path almost hidden in the dense bushes, and the black cat "Oscar" lying lazily on the wall. She said, "Admiral, why do you look like you're here for the first time?"
Su Xia retracted her gaze from the bench where a bag of snacks was thrown and said, "It's my first time here."
Xiao Zhai looked at Su Xia with a puzzled look and said, "Are you our admiral?"
"I don't know either."
How could a ship girl not recognize an admiral? There was no need to rely on appearance to recognize the other person. It was a special feeling. In fact, there was no doubt at all. Xiao Zhai said, "Who told you to come to the naval base only once every ten days or half a month? You come and go in a hurry, arranging exercises and expeditions, and occasionally commanding submarines to attack. You never take a good look around the naval base. This is your naval base."
Su Xia smiled. It was easy to understand soul traveling and body traveling. But he really didn't know what he was traveling in.
Kotaku began to introduce the tutelary fort.
“This is the road around the island.”
"From this side is the living area. Everyone's dormitories surround the square. Do you see that clock tower? That's the dormitory area for the British department. Everyone used to live together, but they were separated when the tutelary fort was expanded... You can't forget even this one, right?"
"Because my military rank was raised, and the garrison was expanded?"
Su Xia asked tentatively, thinking at the same time, in the game, as the player's military rank increases, the sand table of the garrison in the war room will also change and become larger, isn't that an expansion?
Speaking of which, the background image of the player's garrison in the game does not match the sand table of the garrison in the war room. Think about it, there was no setting at the beginning of the game, and now it is just a matter of thought, which is normal.
That's right. How could an admiral not know the situation of the garrison? Xiao Zhai nodded and said, "Yes, as your military rank increased... No, it was the rank of the garrison that increased. The garrison was expanded to what it is today."
The two of them walked for quite a while, and apart from seeing a few people passing by in the distance, they didn't bump into anyone.
Finally, they stood in front of a building, which was said to be a teaching building before, but now it is an activity room building. They walked up the stairs. The stairwell was filled with cardboard boxes, broken tables and chairs, old computers, deflated basketballs, and easels, like a warehouse. While walking in the dim corridor on the third floor, Xiao Zhai suddenly stopped, and Su Xia stopped with him.
There is a door in front of me.
“This is it.”
Xiao Zhai put his hands on the door, pushed it hard, and walked into the room: "Xiao Hua, Xiao Luo, I'm back."
Su Xia followed him in and found that it was a rather spacious room, not wide but quite deep, with a very large bright window. There was a blackboard on the right wall, a bookshelf on the left, but no books, and a square table in the middle, surrounded by a few benches. It looked like a rather simple room.
Su Xia saw the little girl sitting by the window , reading a rather thick hardcover book. She had white hair in twin ponytails, fair skin and an expressionless face, and her glasses were all white because of the reflection. She had obviously heard the noise coming from the door of the room, so she slowly turned her head and pushed her glasses up with her fingers.
Su Xia naturally recognized the child, a special cub like Xiao Zhai, but she was a cub of the battleship USS Washington. Everyone generally called her Xiao Hua, a very cute child. The way to obtain it in the game is to obtain it in the Children's Day event the year after Xiao Zhai. Now it can only be exchanged in the trophy shop.
Xiaohua just stared at Su Xia for a moment without any other expression. He quickly turned his gaze back to the book, acting quite coldly.
"Xiao Zhai...ah, Admiral, hello."
It was a voice that sounded weak.
Su Xia looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a little blonde girl standing by the bookshelf holding a book. She had a cute face and big, bright eyes like a fawn. In short, she was very cute, especially her timid look that made people want to hold her in their arms.
That's Xiao Luo, a special cub like Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua, but she's a cub of the battleship Rodney. She's also the first cub in the game, followed by Xiao Zhai, then Xiao Hua, and then there are only costume changes, no more cubs.
Snap, snap, snap——
Xiao Zhai clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, walked towards the square table, shook the proposal letter he had taken from Su Xia, and shouted, "Have you seen this?"
It seemed as if everything that happened in the room had nothing to do with him, and Xiaohua's eyes never left the book.
"What is that?" Xiao Luo asked.
The square table was too high and the little girl was too short. Xiao Zhai looked around and found a small stool and moved it to the side of the square table. She stepped on the stool and pushed the proposal on the table, and the rolled-up proposal was completely opened.
Xiao Luo stood on tiptoe to look at the proposal spread on the table.
After turning another page of the book, Xiaohua put the bookmark in place, closed the book, and finally walked away from the window seat and came to the square table.
"Have you finished reading it?"
After Xiaohua and Xiaoluo nodded, Xiaozhai clapped his hands on the table.
"I found this on the notice board."
"It looks like someone wants to harm the admiral."
"I just communicated with the admiral."
"He promised me that he would mend his ways."
"I decided to believe in the Admiral. A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold."
"You don't want the admiral to be killed, do you?"
“I decided to start a society.”
"I just thought of a name for the club."
"The Tirpitz Regiment that rescued and reformed the admiral. The abbreviation is the ZTT Regiment. Z means rescue and reform, the second T stands for admiral, and the last T is me, Tirpitz." Xiao Zhai read out the name of the club she thought of in a very loud voice and explained it.
Xiao Luo said: "Aren't you Xiao Zhai?"
"Tirpitz, I am Tirpitz." Xiao Zhai said loudly.
"oh."
"You have no objection, right? If you don't, then it's decided." Xiao Zhai made the decision on his own without caring how Xiao Hua and Xiao Luo answered. He was quite authoritarian.
"That's it." Xiao Zhai raised his hand, "The Tirpitz Regiment to rescue and reform the admiral is officially established."
"This is now our base for 'Saving and Reforming the Admiral's Tirpitz Regiment', our activity room."
Xiao Hua didn't move, so Xiao Luo said, "Isn't this Xiao Hua's literature club?"
"It's requisitioned." Xiao Zhai said, waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Hua, do you have any opinion?"
"Whatever." Xiaohua said, "Just don't disturb me while I'm reading."
"That's OK." Xiao Zhai straightened his chest, patted his chest, and said, "I'm the president now, I'll arrange the work."
She raised her hand, pointed her index finger, and then pointed at Xiaohua, saying, "Xiaohua, you are the secretary of our club and a part-time legal advisor."
Xiaohua did not comment.
"Then Xiaoluo..."
Xiao Luo lowered her head. She thought she was not as good as Xiao Hua who read a lot of books every day and was super awesome, nor was she as active as Xiao Zhai. She whispered, "I, I don't know anything. I'm useless."
"No, everyone is useful. I was born with talents that can be used." Xiao Zhai stood tall on a small stool, looking down at Xiao Luo who was looking down. She crossed her arms and nodded, saying, "Xiao Luo is super cute, isn't she? From today on, you are the mascot of our club, and your job is to act cute."
"A mascot?" Xiao Luo said, isn't that just a vase?
Xiao Zhai noticed Xiao Luo's disappointment, and she explained: "A mascot is responsible for being cute, or in other words, public relations. When we encounter problems at work, Xiao Luo will act cute to the adults who are responsible for the trouble, which is public relations."
"Also, Xiaoluo, you will also be responsible for being the tea specialist for our club."
Xiao Luo raised her head and found Xiao Zhai nodding at her affirmatively, so she nodded heavily.
As for Su Xia, he had been standing by and watching the little lolis doing this quietly. He hit his forehead and wondered what was going on.
