Chapter 78 Taking Advantage of the Void
Su Xia wanted to refuse and repeatedly said that it was no problem, but Missouri didn't care what he said, and she was very strong, so he could only let her pull him to the beach.
Missouri pushed the motorboat on the shore into the water, then searched on the motorboat, and finally took out a key from somewhere, explaining: "If the key is not hidden, those little girls will steal it. Especially Sora and the others, who like running, racing, and all kinds of fast sports."
She finished all the preparations, stepped back, patted the seat in front of her, and said, "Okay, Admiral, you can start. Sit here."
“I can’t drive.”
"It's modified by the Indomitable... It's very easy to operate, just like driving a motorcycle. Hold the accelerator with your right hand, turn it to accelerate, and release it to release the throttle. Even those little girls can drive it right away." Missouri said, "No problem, I'm here, I can teach you anytime."
In the end, Su Xia took off her shoes and put them on the beach. Following Missouri's reminder, she put down her cell phone, keys and other things that were easy to fall, rolled up her trouser legs, walked into the water, and climbed onto the motorboat.
"Admiral, please sit a little further forward, or I can't reach you."
When Su Xia sat a little in the front, Missouri pressed directly on his back, pressed on him, and stretched out his hand to grasp the steering handle of the motorboat.
Regardless of whether Su Xia cares a lot or not, Missouri just talks to herself.
"Because it's night, turn on the light first...the switch is here."
"This switch rope is tied to your wrist. If you are thrown out, the jet ski will automatically shut down."
"It seems that no one uses helmets and life jackets anymore..."
"The way I hold the steering wheel... it really is like riding a motorcycle... Admiral, you try it first."
"A motorboat is propelled forward and controlled in direction by jetting water..."
Su Xia imitated Missouri, holding the steering handle with both hands, feeling Missouri's soft palms covering him, and he became a little concerned. Then he listened to Missouri's explanation of how to operate a motorboat, which was different from driving a motorcycle. He thought that others were so generous, but he was so obsessed with such a small matter, so he immediately ignored it.
"Start and return as slowly as possible."
"Admiral, you can start now... Go slowly at first, and speed up once you are familiar with it."
"Drive farther away and be careful of the rocks on the shore."
Su Xia drove the motorboat slowly, and at first she only dared to add a little accelerator.
"Admiral, you can speed up. It's okay, I'll watch over you."
There was an endless sea ahead, and roads in all directions. It was not like driving on the road, where you not only had to worry about oncoming vehicles, but also about the road restrictions, and you might accidentally fly off the road. Su Xia drove slowly at first, but it became more and more comfortable, and he quickly increased the speed.
Ever since she came to this world, she had been feeling very irritated but had been completely suppressing it. Now that she finally had a chance to vent, Su Xia increased her speed to the maximum in one breath.
At high speed, the sea breeze became fierce. He opened his mouth to speak, but a mouthful of wind blew. Su Xia deliberately drove over the waves and flew for a short time. He finally understood why some people like to drive fast. That kind of high speed is really exciting.
"The admiral can call for help," said Missouri.
Su Xia started by shouting softly, then louder and louder, and finally it became "I am the beginning of the end... the shadow that blocks the sun... the death knell of destruction..." He really liked that line of second-year dialogue. If it wasn't a motorboat, it would be even better to have a dragon to ride.
As for when Missouri stopped holding on to the railings on both sides of the seat and started hugging his waist tightly, he didn't care at all.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I drove the motorboat to somewhere again. Su Xia got rid of his tension, and gradually slowed down and stopped on the sea.
Missouri asked, “How is it?”
Su Xia did not answer her question. She just looked at the dark sea in all directions. The lights of the motorboat seemed to attract the fish. She asked, "How do we get back now?"
"Turn left and keep going."
Su Xia restarted the motorboat, and this time Missouri hugged his waist directly, and he accelerated to the maximum speed in one breath. At that speed, I don’t know how fast it was, anyway, the motorboat almost flew up, flying forward like a tile skipping on the water, as if nothing mattered. Whether it was the past, the future, or even life.
The motorboat finally stopped in shallow water, and the two men pushed it onto the beach together.
Missouri waved her hand: "Admiral, I will take you to a good place."
"Where?"
"It's a good place," Missouri said. "Just follow me."
Su Xia followed Missouri to a corner of the beach, where there were many sand castles. The tallest one was as tall as a person. There were also sand walls and towers. Of course, they were all made very crudely. It might be because they were left there for too long. After all, they were just made of sand. There were small plastic shovels and buckets scattered around.
Missouri said: "These are all piled up by those little girls. Let's destroy them."
“Not good.”
"It doesn't matter. Even if we don't destroy it, they will destroy it themselves."
"Even if they destroy it, it's not a reason for us to destroy it." Su Xia said that even if the dominoes that the children have worked hard to arrange will eventually fall down, it's not a reason for you to knock them down.
Missouri laughed and said, "We are bad people, bastard adults, rotten adults."
"It's not a crime if it's not discovered." Su Xia paused and said.
Uncontrollable desire to destroy. I really want to see the little girl cry. At worst, I can help her build a sand castle or a sand wall. Su Xia punched the largest sand castle, then pounced on it, knocked down the entire castle, and then looked at the sand tower on the side.
Missouri also knocked over a sand castle and said, "Now we are accomplices."
"Yes, an accomplice." Su Xia picked up a baseball bat that someone had thrown nearby and swung it at the sand tower.
After destroying everything, they lay on the beach, gasping for breath.
They looked up at the sky together, the sky full of stars, the beautiful starry sky.
"Admiral, do you know the stars?" Missouri asked.
"I don't know. Whether it's Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, the Morning Star or the Big Dipper."
"I don't really understand."
"Um."
"My dream is to look at the stars with the Admiral."
"Yeah?"
Missouri fell silent, and Suxia didn't speak either.
"The admiral must think I'm lying." Missouri spoke up.
"No."
"She's a mature lady, but she suddenly says something like a little girl. She's really good at that... The admiral must be thinking that."
Su Xia smiled.
"Yes, Missouri is a liar. Although Missouri doesn't know much about the stars, she knows a lot about them. Her dream is to watch the stars with the admiral, which is also a lie. What Missouri likes... likes acting. Pretty girls can act. She also likes to bully people. If possible, she will bully little loli and the admiral."
"Please don't bully me."
"Hitting hurts, scolding is love, bullying is enjoyment."
"It's such a pain, love and liking, let's just forget it."
"Missouri doesn't know what happened to the admiral, and doesn't know how to comfort him. The admiral has encountered an unexpected event, and now he plans to live in the garrison permanently. In fact, Missouri is a little grateful for that event. It's despicable, isn't it? This is despicable Missouri."
"Um."
"Isn't the Admiral angry?"
"Not angry."
"You're not playing by the rules. I don't know what to say... Actually, I know you will say that. Everything is part of my calculations."
“That’s amazing.”
"I'm not lying... I don't know if it's a lie... I'm so difficult to deal with. I've become a troublesome woman."
Missouri raised her hands. "I don't know what to say. I just say whatever comes to mind. There's no logic."
"Um."
"Sometimes I would go into battle and be badly wounded and go back to the garrison alone to the bathroom. The admiral wouldn't even come to check on me. I would occasionally wonder, who am I doing this for and why I ended up like this."
"Sorry, mine."
"I forgive you," Missouri said, "but what else can I do if I don't forgive you?"
Su Xia didn't know what to say, so she could only respond, pursing her lips and pulling the corners of her mouth.
"Why do people live? To pass on their family line, benefit society, and leave a name before and after? Why are shipgirls born? To destroy deep-sea shipgirls, protect human society, and safeguard the peace of the sea? Or is it for the admiral?"
"Anyway, I don't have such big ideals. I just follow the admiral's orders, conduct exercises and sorties, and that's it."
"I don't know what means the admiral used - it must have been a very despicable means, the admiral would use that kind of despicable means - Missouri now has a 200% favorable impression of the admiral. What Missouri wants to do most now is not to suppress the deep-sea flagship, but to use all means to make the admiral's favorability towards Missouri become 200%."
"What Missouri wants to do most right now is the same for everyone. Lexington, Akagi, Enterprise, Richelieu, Yisen, Hude... I'm sure everyone thinks the same. The admiral is the harbor, lighthouse, and beacon of the shipgirls, and he is absolutely indispensable."
"I don't know what to say again. It's all messed up and illogical...Missouri really wants to say something. I can't help it."
"The Admiral has to figure out the past himself. If the Admiral doesn't want to talk about it, we can't help him, so it's best not to interfere. What Missouri meant was that everyone likes the Admiral, and the Admiral can trust everyone without worrying about the new life and can integrate into it without worry."
"You can be a little more unrestrained, like we did before, poking Missouri's chest or something... like tonight, if it were me, I would definitely give a good kiss and hug to such a cute archerfish. But the archerfish is still a child, don't do anything more extreme."
"…Missouri is an adult now."
Su Xia turned her head and saw that Missouri was wet. That was because they had just ridden the motorboat. Of course, he was soaked too. Missouri was soaked, with a few strands of long hair sticking to his face. There were grains of sand, and the thin shirt he wore in summer was soaked and stuck to his body, revealing his curves.
"Sure." Missouri said.
Su Xia withdrew her gaze and shook her head.
Missouri pretended to be resentful and said: "Missouri has said so much, but the admiral actually refused... I am so embarrassed, I want to die."
"Isn't Missouri pretty enough?" Missouri asked, "Not in the admiral's eyes."
"That's not the reason." Su Xia said, "Missouri is beautiful, very beautiful. If possible... I don't want to leave it like this. I don't know how to say it. That would be disrespectful to Missouri."
"I don't really understand why... I like the admiral so much, and we've been together for so long, but I don't know why I feel like I just met him. Actually, Missouri is a little concerned too, but let's forget about it tonight and talk about it tomorrow..."
"If we don't need to think so much, let's go find Hindenburg and treat Hindenburg as Missouri." Missouri said, "Although the girl is stupid, she is still very beautiful and has a good figure... I will hold her hand."
"What..." Su Xia was powerless to complain.
Missouri laughed and suddenly said, "Would it seem like I was cheating if I did that now?"
"What?"
Missouri tilted her head to look at Su Xia, reached out and grabbed his hand, and said: "When the admiral is the weakest and most vulnerable... I like the admiral."
"No matter what happens in the future, Missouri will always be by the Admiral's side. The Admiral must move on from the past, and there is no need to worry about the future..."
Missouri moved closer to him, took his hand and kissed it.
“You can always trust Missouri.”
