Chapter 652: Great Wisdom Appears Foolishly
Even if the admiral comes, we cannot interrupt the rehearsal at will, and even looking at him for one more moment and disrupting the rhythm is not allowed.
Now that the admiral is here, there is no need to rush to the next show after the rehearsal.
There was a heater in the KTV, and the windows were all closed tightly, with almost no ventilation, so the temperature was quite high. Tuscaloosa took off his coat as soon as he entered the KTV, and Su Xia also felt very hot, with a dry tongue and dry mouth, but the main reason was the restless Indiana. For those who performed, the temperature must be even higher, anyway, Alaska was wearing a vest.
Su Xia watched as New Orleans used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Quincy who had just finished singing, and then found some mineral water for her to drink. Then the two of them came over together and said with a smile, "Did I say that New Orleans is Quincy's agent?"
"What?" New Orleans didn't understand what he meant.
"It's okay." Su Xia waved his hand. He was too lazy to explain, as he felt it would be very troublesome to explain.
"Okay." Su Xia didn't want to explain, and New Orleans didn't bother to ask, "Admiral, why are you here?"
"Come and see how your rehearsal is going." Su Xia said, "Not bad."
"Don't you see who the coach is?" Alaska sat next to Su Xia and puffed out his chest proudly.
"Is it Guam?" Su Xia asked, "No wonder Quincy sings so well, with such a good teacher as Guam."
"No," Guam said, "I just did a little work."
Alaska's face darkened as he asked, "Admiral, did you do this on purpose?"
"No." Su Xia said, "I didn't mean to do it. I did it on purpose."
"I understand." Alaska raised his fist, "Admiral, you're not happy if you don't bully people, right?"
"I was wrong." Su Xia raised his hands and said.
Alaska snorted.
From the corner of Su Xia's eye, she saw Quincy finish his water and squat beside the coffee table to eat. He finished half of the snacks in a short time.
New Orleans followed Su Xia's gaze and saw Quincy eating, and immediately shouted, "Ah Kun, why are you eating again?"
"Hungry," Quincy replied.
"Didn't we just have lunch?" New Orleans said.
Quincy lowered her head, feeling aggrieved. She was still holding the snack in her hand and didn't know what to do, whether to continue eating or put it down.
"Just let me eat if you're hungry." Quincy's aggrieved look was so adorable that Su Xia couldn't help but say, "Does the garrison need that little food... New Orleans is really something, they don't even give me food."
"I didn't give her any food," New Orleans said. "She ate too much."
"It's okay if it's more." Su Xia said, "Akagi and Taihou both eat a lot. What's the big deal?"
"Quincy, come here." Su Xia saw the plate in front of him. There was a green bean cake on the plate, and there was another plate with potato chips. Indiana helped him get them from another coffee table. "New Orleans doesn't let you eat them, so I'll give them to you."
When Quincy heard Su Xia's words, he immediately ran to him, stretched out his hand towards him, and spread out his white palm.
Su Xia picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in Quincy's palm. She saw Quincy quickly pick up the mung bean cake and put it into his mouth, then stretched out her hand to him and took another piece of mung bean cake for her.
Quincy's cheeks were bulging after eating two pieces of mung bean cakes in one go.
"Quincy." Su Xia shouted.
"Woo." Quincy was chewing and couldn't respond to him.
"Quincy, squat down." Su Xia didn't know why she said that, maybe it was just some strange thing.
Quincy crouched down.
Su Xia reached out and pinched Quincy's puffy cheeks and scratched her chin.
"Admiral!" New Orleans saw Su Xia scratching Quincy's chin. It seemed like everyone scratched the chins of Hood's two pets, Ginger and Fishcake. U81's three little wolves were also popular pets. "What do you think of A-Quincy?"
"Quincy is not a pet," New Orleans said, "and you still touched her head. You still touched it."
Su Xia withdrew his hand in disappointment. He really treated Quincy as a pet just now.
"How can you be an admiral like this?" New Orleans said, "Akun is your ship girl, and also your wedding ship, the wedding ship that wears a wedding dress for you."
"To be fair," Indiana said, "Quincy wasn't the admiral's wedding ship when it first wore its wedding dress."
Su Xia thought that there were not many ship girls with wedding dresses in the game, and she didn't know why the game operator just didn't release wedding dresses. Whether it was Lexington, Saratoga or King Kong, most wedding dresses were obtained automatically after the ship girl got married. However, Quincy's wedding dress was originally obtained from peripheral gifts, which means that even if Quincy is not married, she can still wear a wedding dress.
"You can ask the admiral about that." New Orleans said, "The admiral who lets someone wear a wedding dress without giving a ring is a scumbag."
Su Xia wanted to explain, but stopped herself from saying anything. Finally, she sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm a jerk."
"I think it's fine." Indiana defended Su Xia without any bottom line. No matter what happened in the past, the past is the past. Now she is his wedding ship. They have experienced an unforgettable night together, and she wants more. "I heard from Washington that it is a crime to attack a fool. It's better not to get married."
"Why does your sister from South Dakota always listen to Washington..." Tuscaloosa muttered while looking at Indiana.
"It's not a marriage yet," New Orleans said, "and Akun is not stupid."
"Yeah, I'm not stupid," Quincy interrupted.
"If you're not an idiot, then who is?" New Orleans suddenly opened fire on Quincy. This is my sister, and no one can belittle her, except for herself, of course. "You are bribed by others with a piece of snack every day, and you are patted on the head and scratched on the chin. Are you really a pet?"
"As long as there are snacks every day..." Quincy said, "there's nothing wrong with being a pet."
When New Orleans heard Quincy's words, she couldn't help but clench her fists: "You, you, you, what did you say? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"No," said Quincy.
"I think so," said New Orleans. "Beat you."
"Sister, don't do that." Quincy crouched down with his head in his hands.
"Calm down, calm down." Su Xia stepped out to smooth things over. "Quincy is not stupid, but innocent. People don't treat Quincy as a pet... No one means to treat her as a pet like ginger or fish cakes. Whether it's patting her head or scratching her chin, it's because we love her."
"No one really teases Quincy like they tease Ginger and Fishcake, right?" Su Xia asked.
"That's not the case," said New Orleans. "If anyone dares to do that, I will never let her go."
"No one would do that." Su Xia said, "If she did, I would never forgive her."
"That's it." Su Xia rubbed Quincy's face again. The touch was really good. Anyway, she didn't dare to scratch her chin. "I went to the izakaya this morning. Everyone was discussing the New Year's event, the Red and White Song Contest... Let me tell you, the first prize for this year's event is super generous. In order to encourage everyone to actively participate in the performance, there will be rewards and consolation prizes as long as you go on stage."
"Why is it so generous?" Alaska asked.
Su Xia told the information he got from Miao Gao. Although it was not completely confirmed and there might be some changes, the difference would not be too big.
"Well, the Red and White Song Contest doesn't just belong to Aoba, Quincy, Eugen-O, or the idols of the heavy cruise," Alaska said, "but to everyone in the tutelary fort."
"That's for sure." Su Xia said.
"Well," Alaska paused and put her arm around her sister Guam's neck, "we can join in, too."
"Wait." New Orleans said, "Why are you participating in the competition? Didn't you say you would be our Akun's coach and help Akun defeat Aoba? You can't go back on your word."
"I don't want to do that either. The reward is too generous." Alaska urged Su Xia, "Admiral, do you think so? Is it true, is it true?"
"In theory, you can participate." Su Xia said, "But isn't it a bit bullying for you professionals to come on stage?"
"So we're not part of the naval base?" Alaska said.
"You must be a member of our garrison." Su Xia said.
"In that case, why can't we participate?" Alaska said, "It doesn't make sense that we can't participate in the competition because we are too good."
"High school students can't participate in elementary school sports meets." Su Xia said, "Can I understand it this way?"
"No," Alaska said, "We are not high school students, and the Red and White Song Festival is not an elementary school sports festival."
"And don't underestimate Aoba, Quincy, and Eugenio." Alaska said, "To be honest, I don't have the confidence to win against them. Guam and I are only better at playing instruments and have more performance experience than them. In terms of singing and dancing, we are no match for these idols on tour."
Su Xia nodded. Alaska and Guam's styles tend to be rock, Pensacola is a singer, Aoba, Quincy and Prince Eugen are idols. It's hard to say who is stronger among them.
Suddenly thinking of something, Su Xia laughed.
"What are you laughing at, Admiral?" Alaska asked.
"The heavy cruiser is an idol." Su Xia said, "Alaska and Guam were also idols in the past."
The tonnage and firepower of the Alaska-class battlecruisers were between battleships and heavy cruisers, which was also reflected in their names - compared to battleships named after states and heavy cruisers named after cities, the six ships planned to be built by the Alaska-class battlecruisers were named after the then-current U.S. overseas territories.
The combat effectiveness of Alaska and Guam in the game was quite poor before they were modified.
Alaska thought about it, and soon understood what Su Xia wanted to express. He said with a fake smile: "Continue."
Su Xia's expression remained unchanged as she said, "But a short time has passed, and now it has become an important missile cruiser in the garrison."
Alaska calmed down a little.
"Admiral, do you like rock music?" Guam asked suddenly.
"It's okay." Su Xia said. He actually didn't like that kind of noisy music.
"It's okay, I just don't like it." Guam said. As Su Xia's ship girl, she certainly knew his habits. "I feel like the winning rate is a little lower again."
Su Xia shrugged.
"Akun, don't bite your sister." That was the voice from New Orleans .
After being taught a lesson by New Orleans, Quincy sat next to New Orleans, and for some reason he suddenly hugged New Orleans' head and chewed it.
"I'm not a chicken burger." said New Orleans.
"That's right, New Orleans chicken burger." Quincy was greedy again.
"I'm serious." New Orleans tilted his head, "Let me go, Akun is hurting my sister."
"That's right, Quincy, let New Orleans go." Indiana interrupted, "Don't accidentally tear New Orleans' head off."
In history, New Orleans participated in the Battle of Tassafaronga. The bow of the ship was blown off by a Japanese torpedo, but after emergency repairs, it avoided sinking and even participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. In short, New Orleans, who has such an experience, is affectionately called the headless senior by a group of players.
"Indiana, say it again." Quincy finally let go of New Orleans, who kept moving his neck, "Who do you say is the headless senior."
"Admiral, Admiral." Indiana hid behind Su Xia, "New Orleans is mean to me, you have to protect me."
"Who told you to bully others for no reason?" Su Xia said.
Of course New Orleans would not attack Indiana. Although they seldom played together, they were sisters in the same American garrison.
Compared to Alaska and Guam participating in the Red and White Song Contest, and possibly many others, Suxia was more concerned about the battle between Aoba, Quincy, and Prince Eugen.
"Alaska and Guam are very confident." Su Xia looked at Quincy, "Is Quincy confident that he can defeat Qingye?"
"Admiral, do you want Quincy to defeat Aoba?" Quincy no longer held New Orleans' head, but instead held New Orleans' shoulders.
"Whether I want to or not is not important." Quincy is his ship girl, but Aoba is also his favorite. If possible, Su Xia would definitely not casually say who he hopes will win more. "The key is whether you want to defeat Aoba."
"Quincy listens to the admiral." Quincy said, "If the admiral wants Quincy to defeat Aoba, Quincy will defeat Aoba. If the admiral wants Quincy to lose to Aoba, Quincy will lose to Aoba."
"Everyone says Quincy is a fool. Maybe Quincy is a fool. He only knows how to eat and play every day." Quincy continued, "Quincy doesn't know anything and doesn't understand anything. Quincy only knows to listen to the admiral. If the admiral tells Quincy to attack, he will attack. If the admiral tells Quincy to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, he will participate in the Red and White Song Festival. If the admiral tells Quincy to defeat Aoba, Quincy will work hard to defeat Aoba."
Quincy rested his chin on New Orleans's shoulder.
"Quincy is an idiot. He doesn't want to think about things. Thinking about them makes his head hurt." Quincy tilted his head. "As long as Quincy knows that the admiral is Quincy's admiral, the admiral will never hurt Quincy and will treat Quincy well. Quincy just needs to listen to the admiral."
Quincy looked at Su Xia and smiled happily: "Admiral, don't you think so?"
Su Xia smiled.
"Of course." Su Xia said.
"Besides the admiral," Quincy said, "there are also the sisters, Chicken Burger sister, Tuscaloosa sister, San Francisco sister, and everyone, Coach Alaska, Coach Guam, Indiana... We will never hurt Quincy or bully Quincy."
No one could survive a single second under Quincy's innocent gaze.
