Chapter 655 Bullying the Little Maid
The Christmas decorations in the garrison were all removed as soon as the Christmas holiday ended, and all the things that could be reused were carefully collected and put into the warehouse, waiting to be used again next Christmas. Anyway, the admiral is back in the garrison now, and he can prepare activities for various holidays every year. Otherwise, no one would be in the mood.
Everything needed for New Year decorations was ready, just waiting to be hung up when needed. On the morning of December 31st, except for the submarine girls and destroyer lolita, almost all Japanese people were busy with New Year activities from the morning. Of course, there were many people other than Japanese people who participated.
Su Xia wanted to help, but she didn't know where to start.
"Make way, Admiral, make way, don't block the road."
Su Xia looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a girl with short black hair and a girl with long black hair walking over, one after the other, carrying a huge red carpet. The girl with short black hair was walking in front, she was Beishang, and she was the one who yelled at Su Xia not to block the road. The girl with long black hair was walking behind, she was Dajing.
Kitakami and Oi were the third and fourth ships of the Kuma-class light cruisers respectively.
Historically, based on the idea of the old Japanese Navy to conduct a nine-stage reduction attack on the US Navy at that time, the two old cruisers Kitakami and Oi were transformed into heavy torpedo cruisers in Sasebo. However, they were born at the wrong time. Due to the rapid rise of strategic tactics centered on aircraft carriers, the use of torpedo warfare became increasingly difficult, so that they had no place to use their skills.
It was not until the fighting on Guadalcanal became tense that the Japanese Navy took action on these two heavily armed torpedo cruisers that had been doing nothing, removed some of their torpedo tubes, and converted them into high-speed transport ships.
By the end of the war, the balance of power had already tilted towards the United States. The Japanese Navy began to make a last-ditch effort in all aspects. After the Kitakami was transformed, it became a carrier carrying a special attack weapon, the manned torpedo Kaiten. After that, Kitakami continued to carry out training missions until the Kure Port was severely damaged by an air raid and could not sail, and welcomed the end of the war in this manner.
They have undergone three major modifications in their lifetime, and their four forms also represent four different periods of the Japanese Navy. The first light cruiser form witnessed the birth of the first batch of 5,000-ton light cruisers of the Japanese Navy, the heavy torpedo cruiser form represents the period when the Japanese Navy was high-spirited and invincible, the high-speed transport ship form symbolizes the Japanese Navy trapped in a difficult battle on Guadalcanal, and the last Kaiten carrier form indicates that the Japanese Navy has reached the end of its road.
As for Kitakami and Oi in the game, they have been transformed. They were light cruisers before the transformation, and became heavy torpedo cruisers after the transformation. Although they lost their opening anti-submarine capability, they gained the special opening torpedo attack capability. It's just that the number and hit rate of opening torpedo attacks are not so ideal. They are completely useless and insignificant compared to missile attacks.
Su Xia didn't react for a moment, and soon found that he was standing in the middle of the road while Bei Shang and Da Jing were carrying things to pass by. He quickly dodged and stood on the side of the road, asking: "What are you doing?"
"Laying the carpet." Kitakami answered, "Myoko's task for us is to lay the red carpet on the stage."
"Oh." Su Xia nodded. He bought the red carpet at the wholesale market when he and the others went out together that day. "I'll help you move it too."
"No need." Kitakami said, "You don't need to help. Ooi and I can do it alone... You don't have tacit understanding."
Su Xia was just about to ask what tacit understanding was, but when Beishang and Dajing were carrying the long red carpet and turning the corner, the two of them didn't communicate at all about how to turn, not even eye contact. They just went forward and backward, left and right, and walked gently around the corner. Now he understood what Beishang meant by tacit understanding.
"Well, I don't have any tacit understanding." Su Xia admitted that he couldn't help much. At this time, he remembered that Kitakami and Ooi were a combination in the game. When two people used the same skill in the same fleet, the opening torpedo could launch three torpedoes together.
Su Xia followed behind the two people, and seeing their smooth cooperation, she asked curiously, "Bei Shang, Da Jing, how come you two can cooperate so well?"
"We are so tacitly connected. We wouldn't know if you asked us." Da Jing thought for a moment and said, "Is it because we are sisters?"
"Because Kitakami and Ooi are sisters, and they often acted together in history and were transformed together." Kitakami interrupted, "There is another reason to ask the admiral. Now as ship girls, the admiral always arranges for us to attack together, so we have a tacit understanding."
Su Xia nodded. He agreed with that answer. He always arranged for Kitakami and Ooi to attack or exercise together, and the skill choices for the two were also the combined skill of gradually decreasing lightning strikes, rather than single-handed heavy torpedo ship raids.
The red carpet has been moved to the stage, and now it needs to be rolled out on the stage. Su Xia wanted to help the two people, but they didn't need him to intervene at all. Standing by and watching the two people laying the carpet familiarly, he felt a little redundant.
Su Xia saw Yubari deftly adjusting the sound . Yubari usually didn't like to join in the fun, and most of the time she stayed in her experiment, tinkering with nothing. But this time it was an important New Year event that was in charge of the Japanese department, so even she had to help. He wanted to go over and ask if she could help, but then he thought that with his level of computer repair skills, he would only be able to check where the plug was loose and whether the memory stick had poor contact, so he decided not to disturb her.
Activities can be held outdoors in the summer, but now it is winter, especially as the weather is getting colder and colder. I guess no one would be interested in participating in the Red and White Songs Contest if the cold wind blows. The Red and White Songs Contest is held in the grand hall of the naval base.
Su Xia left the auditorium and sat on the stone bench under the lush banyan tree. It was not right to play with the phone, and it was not right to just leave. He ran to the auditorium excitedly to help, but no one needed him. It was really bad that no one wanted him. That sentence was really right. Being needed is a kind of happiness.
"Master, why is you sitting here alone?"
Su Xia raised her head and saw the maid fighting back.
"I'm not needed anywhere." Su Xia bent down, covered her face with her hands, and cried silently with her shoulders shaking.
The counterattack was from a little maid, not the head maid like her sister, who could solve any problem with ease. She panicked when she saw Su Xia's exaggerated movements and shouted in panic: "Master, master, are you okay? What happened?"
Su Xia sat down. He looked at the maid who was panicked by his behavior just now, stretched out his hand to her and said, "Fight back, sit here. I want to hug you."
Seeing the admiral like this, even though she was very shy, she still sat on his lap without saying a word.
Su Xia hugged Fanfang's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I just swept the floor and my clothes are dirty." He fought back.
"It's okay." Su Xia hugged Fanbing tighter and even sniffed him gently, "Fanbing smells so good, what perfume did you spray?"
"I didn't wear perfume." Su Xia counterattacked and replied. As a maid, not a lady, how could she wear perfume?
"That's the original scent of Fan Zheng." Su Xia buried her head in Fan Zheng's neck.
"Master, master." Counterattack looked around for fear that someone would see this scene.
"Okay." Su Xia loosened her counterattack slightly.
A tiger sister has no dog sister. She has such a cool sister and the reputation of the head maid. Counterattack is not a simple and easy-to-bully sister. She quickly reacted and said, "The master is still in the mood to bully Counterattack. The master has nothing to do at all."
"I never said I had anything wrong. I was just fighting back against your self-righteousness." Su Xia said shamelessly.
"Really? The master only knows how to bully me." She counterattacked and tried to stand up from Su Xia's thighs, but Su Xia held her waist tightly and had no intention of letting go.
Counterattack knew that Su Xia liked to bully people, and also knew that everyone was busy now. Su Xia, who was sitting alone on the stone bench, must have encountered something. She asked: "The master just said that I am not needed anywhere... What happened?"
Su Xia told everyone what had just happened in the auditorium. Kitakami and Ooi worked in perfect harmony and didn't need him at all. It was obvious that Yubari didn't need his help either. He suddenly felt like he was not needed anywhere and felt a little depressed.
"It's okay, it's okay." Su Xia found Fan Bing and wanted to comfort him, "I was just a little concerned for a while, now I'm back to normal thanks to Fan Bing."
"I didn't do anything, why should I be the one to take credit for it?" he asked in counterattack.
Su Xia decided to tell Fan Ke what she had done with her actual actions. She noticed that Fan Ke was struggling slightly and asked with a smile, "Does Fan Ke know what she had done now?"
Fight back just blushed and lowered his head.
"I didn't feel anything during Halloween, which was mainly about dressing up. Christmas was also okay. When it came to setting up the stage for the Red and White Songs Contest for this New Year event... I found that everyone was really good at hands-on work." Su Xia sighed, "They didn't seem like girls at all."
"It's just a stage." He countered, "If the admiral knew that the entire garrison was built by everyone, and those houses were built brick by brick by everyone, from laying the foundation to laying the walls, everyone was busy, and there are also warehouses, docks and so on, wouldn't he be even more surprised?"
"I do know that the garrison was built by everyone," Su Xia shook her head, "It still feels incredible until now."
"It's not that great." He countered, "Anyway, we can do what others can do, and we can definitely do it better than others."
The naval base is located on a small island far away from the land in the sea. When there are no deep-sea ship girls around, you can just sit there and do nothing. It's fun to build a house by yourself. It's a great sense of accomplishment to build the perfect naval base in everyone's mind bit by bit.
"Yeah." Su Xia nodded repeatedly, "My ship girl is the best."
"The admiral is also very powerful." Counterattack knew how to praise Su Xia.
"I'm not that great." Su Xia opened her mouth and closed it again, then laughed, "I can't resist any temptation."
Counterattack was stunned for a moment, then realized the problem and said, "Master, Master, please let me go, not now."
Holding such a cute maid girl sitting on his lap, unless Su Xia is not a man, it is normal for him to feel excited.
Su Xia knew what Fan Fan was talking about, and asked knowingly: "What is Fan Fan talking about? What's not okay? What's not okay?"
"Master knows." Counterattack begged, "Master, please don't bully Counterattack."
"No, I'm not bullying you. I just love Counterattack." Su Xia blew into Counterattack's ear, "I suddenly realized that I haven't stayed in Counterattack's room for a long time."
Fight back without saying anything.
"Can we stay overnight in Fan Zheng's room some other day?" Su Xia asked, "Will Fan Zheng welcome you?"
Of course I was looking forward to a counterattack, but I couldn't say it out loud.
"Fight back without saying anything." Su Xia said, "Fight back means you are unwilling?"
"No." The voice of the counterattack was as thin as a mosquito's: "The counterattack is subject to the master's command."
"That's it," Su Xia said, "Well... isn't Counterattack always trying to catch up with reputation?"
"Huh?" The counterattack was certain that Su Xia had other intentions.
"Counter, did you know that Reputation has a bunny girl costume called the Ultimate Weapon?" Su Xia thought of Reputation's bunny girl costume again and had to admire Reputation. When she put on a maid costume, she was an all-round maid, and when she changed into a bunny girl costume, she was the Ultimate Weapon.
As the younger sister's counterattack, of course she knew that her elder sister had such an ultimate weapon, which was guaranteed to kill a lot of people and make the admiral's army defeated.
"I look forward to Counterattack's decisive weapon." Su Xia bit Counterattack's ear, and the real purpose was revealed.
"I won't counterattack unless you agree." Su Xia was playing tricks. The ship girls in the naval base were more powerful than each other. It was rare to find a maid girl who was easy to bully.
I had no choice but to agree to the counterattack.
"Master, can you let me go?" he asked in a counterattack.
"No rush." Su Xia went back on her words, "I didn't say that as long as you agree to fight back, you can fight back."
Su Xia finally let go of the fight back, not because he had a change of heart and planned to let the cute maid go, he had no conscience anymore, but because everyone was busy preparing for the New Year activities, and as a maid there were a lot of things to fight back, doing nothing was fine, but bullying others was a bit too much.
Su Xia did not continue looking for a job. He chose to walk around and look around. He went to the cafeteria to see what food everyone was preparing for the evening, and went to the shrine to see everyone busy cleaning and making amulets. Time passed quickly and it was dark in the blink of an eye.
Mutsu, Shokaku, Fuso, Hosho, Shirayuki, Shinano... everyone helped in the cafeteria today, but Akagi was the real culprit. She probably ate more than she cooked, so there were many special Osechi dishes for dinner today, such as wasabi noodles, ozoni, dried herring roe, black beans, kelp rolls, seven-herb porridge, and so on.
Today, dinner starts at 6 o'clock, and the Red and White Song Contest starts at 7:30. Those who have a show to perform must prepare early, while others can take their time.
