Chapter 630: Routine Failure
This was a rather simple celebration banquet, and to some extent it was also a farewell banquet for the admirals who were about to leave the KanColle headquarters.
As the admiral, the backbone of all the ship girls, he will not stay outside for a long time unless there are special circumstances. Otherwise, it will easily cause unrest among the ship girls staying in the garrison. In this way, they will rush back to the garrison as soon as any work outside is finished.
It seems that children often look forward to spring outings, autumn outings and other activities, while adults often hate team-building activities that take up their vacations. Admirals generally don't care too much about celebration banquets, practice banquets and the like, but the KanColle headquarters believes that life needs a sense of ritual. In short, luxury is fine, and simplicity is fine. At this time, they just eat something casually and chat in groups of three or two.
"Come visit our garrison when you have time."
"I definitely won't go."
"Don't be so heartless."
"I won't go. Well, as an admiral, I can't leave my post without permission."
"Then I will visit your tutelary fort."
"Our garrison is very small, and we may not be able to entertain guests well."
Qu Qi is really an iceberg beauty, her music is too high to be appreciated by many people, while Nina is more interesting, but the fact that she likes to drink is annoying. After chatting with Qu Qi and Nina for a while, Su Xia walked to the food pick-up area with an empty wine glass to pour a glass of red wine for her own glass, and happened to meet Ibuki.
Ibuki took the red wine bottle and poured himself a glass, and then poured another glass for Su Xia. The celebration banquet was a little simple due to the rush, but the things that didn't require much preparation, such as wine, were well prepared and basically quite expensive, but that was the extent. He raised the glass to Su Xia and said, "Congratulations to Admiral Su for winning the MVP."
When six people from a fleet defeat the Deep Sea Fleet, there is always one person who has the most contributions and gets the MVP. When a group of garrisons unite to defeat the Deep Sea Flagship, there is always one garrison that gets the MVP. The Deep Sea Taiho was defeated by Su Xia's fleet, and it is undoubtedly the MVP. No matter what is accomplished, the leader's contribution is indispensable. Congratulations to Su Xia for winning the MVP.
After hearing what Ibuki said, Su Xia said modestly, "The credit belongs to everyone."
Rewards for merit and punishments for mistakes are universal principles, and this applies to the garrison as well. Defeating an ordinary deep-sea fleet is part of the job, but defeating a deep-sea flagship is bound to result in a reward.
"I'm curious about how Admiral Su plans to reward everyone." The food pick-up area was crowded with people and was not a place for chatting, so Ibuki walked into the hall with a glass of wine.
Su Xia followed Ibuki outside and said, "What do you think?"
"It should be a bonus and points." The tutelary fort had never thought of hiding the new point system. Ella knew it, and Ibuki naturally knew it too. "Am I right?"
"No." Su Xia replied.
"My guess is wrong?" Ibuki frowned slightly, "What is that?"
"I can't say." Su Xia shook her head and then laughed. Anyway, Missouri and Richelieu didn't want any points and preferred simple and crude rewards.
Su Xia didn't want to say it, and Ibuki didn't ask any more questions. She asked, "Can points really be exchanged for something like admiral massage coupons, admiral knee pillow coupons, and... admiral random punch coupons?"
"Has anyone changed it?" Ibuki asked, "The admiral can just play the ticket casually."
"No." Su Xia said, "I love my ship girls, and they love me too. How could I change them for something so ridiculous?"
"I think it's interesting and we can give it a try." Ibuki said and glanced at Su Xia. To be honest, this guy sometimes deserves a beating.
"You're a little dangerous." Su Xia said, "Ibuki."
In a dimly lit corner, Missouri sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, leaning on the armrest, glancing at the brightly lit hall, and then looking at the bluefin tuna standing in front of her. Today, bluefin tuna still had a blonde hairstyle with twin ponytails and wore a cute dress.
"Big Bluefish, do you remember what I just said?" Missouri asked.
"I've got it." Big Bluefish nodded heavily, "Big Sister, leave it to me."
Akagi is the big sister of the Japanese system, Veneto is the big sister of the Italian system, Richelieu is the big sister of the French system, the glory of the Royal Navy is Hood, although he is just a mascot, but the American system has no real big sister, Lexington focuses on admiral, Enterprise is now the secretary ship and the second in command of the entire naval base, Iowa is almost there, and Washington's "reason" is still not enough.
Anyway, Missouri is a bartender in the bar and also the owner of the bar, the Archer Rabbit's immediate superior. Big Bluefish also worked in the bar for a while but was fired because of his clumsiness. So Big Bluefish deserves the title of "Big Sister".
"Go ahead. Do your best." Missouri waved at the bluefin tuna, "If everything goes well, I'll allow you to go back to the bar."
Santi shamelessly adopted Andrea and Kayo's twin-daughter tactics in the cafe of Guanhailou, constantly attracting the admiral's attention. The bar has been considering launching the sister tactics of Daqinghua Cat and Archer Rabbit. Missouri has long had the idea of recruiting Daqinghua back to the wine glass as a waiter to cosplay as a cat.
Archerfish looked at the back of the bluefin tuna as she left with a worried look on her face. She didn't trust the bluefin tuna, who was a sister who needed her care. Apart from bullying Dafeng, she did more harm than good.
The real mafia boss Veneto spoke up. The reason why she had been staying in the dark corner was simple. Once she was exposed to the light, many children would treat her as a child and play with her, but she didn't want to be treated as a child and play those childish games.
"I think it's better to give it to North Carolina than to the bluefin tuna." Veneto added, "Lolita North Carolina."
"North Carolina." Missouri paused and said, "Whether it's the big one or the small one, it's better to say that the big one and the small one are the same person... I can't see through her."
Veneto was silent. North Carolina can be big or small, and its mental age changes with its appearance. It can be ignorant, innocent, young and frivolous, or naturally shrewd.
"Don't worry," said Missouri, "the mountain people have a plan."
Veneto sneered and stretched out his arm but got nothing. Then he remembered that the celebration party was dinner and no coffee was provided. Without coffee, he always felt that something was missing.
The bluefin tuna thought about what Missouri had told him, waved his hand and found Su Xia and Ibuki, and said, "Admiral, play with us."
"Not tonight. The Admiral is busy, you guys play by yourselves." Su Xia touched the head of the bluefin tuna. He was happy to play with the bluefin tuna, but this was not the time to play with her when he returned to the garrison. It would be rare to have the opportunity to chat with others. If he missed tonight, he didn't know when he would have time.
"Admiral, do you want to talk to Sister Ibuki?" The bluefin tuna blinked his big eyes and looked at Ibuki, "Sister Ibuki is so beautiful."
No girl would hate others praising her beauty, and Ibuki was no exception. At this time, hearing what Big Bluefish said, Big Bluefish was a cute little loli, not the kind of flattering man, and the tightly pursed mouth on his always serious face pulled up a little arc.
"Yeah." Su Xia looked at the big bluefin tuna, which had a sweet mouth and said jokingly, "I want to talk to your sister Ibuki, you can go and play by yourself. Where's the archerfish? Why isn't she with you?"
"I don't know," replied the bluefish.
"Then let's look for it. Maybe it went to get something to eat and disappeared." Su Xia saw that the big bluefin tuna didn't leave, and pinched the cute little girl's chubby face. "Let's go. I'll play with you when we get back to the garrison."
"But I want to have fun with the admiral right now," said Albacore. "The admiral can also wait until we get back to the tutelary fort to talk to Ibuki-sister."
"Of course we can, but at that time we can only chat online." Su Xia said, "It's not convenient."
"Why can we only chat online?" asked the bluefin tuna, tilting his head.
Su Xia opened her mouth, wondering where to start the explanation. After thinking for a while, she said, "Because we have to go back tomorrow, back to the garrison. Don't you miss everyone after being out for so many days? And your sister Ibuki is an employee of the Kanmusu headquarters."
"How far is our garrison from the Kanmusu headquarters?" Su Xia said, "You took a boat for most of the day. It's quite far."
"Eh?" said the bluefin tuna, "Ibuki-sister isn't going back with us?"
"Why do you want to go back with us? " Su Xia said curiously.
"Didn't the Admiral pick up Sister Ibuki?" The bluefin tuna said as a matter of course, "I see you two are together every day."
"No?" Big Bluefish looked at Su Xia, then at Ibuki, as if he had discovered something. "That's what I said. The admiral is so bad, such a poor admiral. He's not handsome, has no good figure, and is not very smart. He has studied English for so long but still can't do anything."
"What the hell?" Su Xia said, "Am I as bad as you say ? Besides, when did I study English for so long? I just studied it when I had time... I can't speak it very well, but I don't have any big problems with reading and writing."
"Really?" said the bluefish.
"Of course it's true." Su Xia said affirmatively, and suddenly smiled when she thought of something. "Didn't the bluefin tuna just come to play with me?"
"Yes," said the bluefin tuna.
"If I'm so bad and terrible..." Su Xia said, "Why would the bluefin tuna want to play with me? Why doesn't it stay away from me?"
The big bluefin tuna lowered its head, and just when Su Xia was feeling proud, he raised his head and said, "A son does not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not despise his family's poverty."
"A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse." The bluefin tuna crossed his arms and nodded repeatedly.
"What kind of metaphor is that?" Su Xia said. He knew from the beginning that the bluefish did it on purpose, but that didn't stop him from retaliating. "Your Chinese is so bad, you need to study more when you go back... I asked Helena to keep an eye on the bluefish."
“No,” cried the bluefin tuna.
"I don't want to either." Su Xia shrugged.
The bluefin tuna was a troublemaker, a smart troublemaker. His mind was working very fast at this moment. He reacted quickly and said, "I know. Well, the admiral is the most handsome, has good temperament, and is good to the ship girls. He is the best admiral in the world."
"It's too late." Su Xia said, "It's too late to praise me now ."
The bluefin tuna turned to Ibuki and said, "Really, Ibuki, I was just joking. The admiral is awesome. It's your loss if you reject him."
"Honestly, although he's not very handsome, he's good enough among admirals. He's very good to everyone... Although he was quite bad before, he's changed now. A prodigal son who returns to the right path is worth more than gold. Also, our naval base is super strong. As long as you join our naval base, we will immediately give you the best equipment for a heavy cruiser..." Albacore thought for a long time, looking troubled, "What's wrong with the admiral that Sister Ibuki doesn't want to join our naval base."
"Kurama-san has been looking forward to seeing Ibuki-san." said the bluefish. "I called Kurama-san and she said she was waiting for Ibuki-san at the tutelary fort. She kept talking about Ibuki-san and said she would take Ibuki-san to visit the tutelary fort and eat delicious tempura..."
"The bluefin tuna belongs to the American style, right?" Ibuki said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to have such a good relationship with Kurama, who is Japanese?"
The bluefin tuna was silent.
Ibuki laughed: "How can I join your tutelary fort if your admiral didn't invite me?"
The bluefin tuna's eyes lit up.
Su Xia was also stunned. As the admiral, he certainly wanted to rescue Ibuki, but when he saw Ibuki's proud and handsome big sister look, he felt a lot of pressure, so he didn't say anything.
The bluefin tuna looked at Su Xia and said, "Admiral, please invite Sister Ibuki quickly."
Su Xia's heart was beating wildly. She took a deep breath and was just about to speak when she heard Ibuki's voice.
"Admiral Su, please think about it before inviting me. I'm afraid we won't even be friends in the end."
Su Xia's heart stopped beating and her face turned pale.
Ibuki patted the bluefin tuna's head and said, "Isn't this trick a little too simple for you guys? Why don't you think you can trick me this way?"
"No." Su Xia said, "I don't know."
He didn't know what the trick was, but he knew that Missouri wanted to cause trouble, so everything was arranged by Missouri?
"I know." Ibuki looked into the dark corner of the hall. "Bluefin, let me ask you, was it Missouri who asked you to come here?"
"Ah, that..." Big Bluefish was confused. She didn't want to and didn't dare to betray Missouri. After all, not everyone is smart, and not everyone is Veneto. "I don't know either."
"That's all." Ibuki raised his glass towards Su Xia, drank the red wine in the glass, turned and left.
Watching Ibuki leave the admiral and walk somewhere else from a distance, Veneto said, "Missouri, you seem to have gone too far."
"It seems so." Missouri said distressedly, "What should I do now?"
Richelieu is a passionate and romantic French girl, but only to one person, that is her admiral, otherwise it is the silent general. She has no interest in making friends. She is with Missouri and Veneto, and suddenly asks: "Is this what Veneto knows about Missouri?"
In the admiral's mind, the small house is the best in the world, the north house is a termite, Lexington is the wife, reputation is the reliable and loyal head maid, Missouri seems to be a confidante, but he may not know very well that it is just poor Tom who is being played in the palm of his hand. Missouri is not simple.
Veneto fell silent.
Missouri laughed.
“The game has just begun.”
