Girls und War

Autumn is quiet.

Leaves will fall silently, and rodents will cache nuts in the park, making extremely subtle gnawing sounds.

Because of the cold, people's steps will be a little hurried, and they don't have the leisure time to stop and chat like in spring and summer.

Rush loves autumn.

Summer trees are the same as autumn trees.

Just as calm, gentle, and without a trace of hurt.

She could always smell a pleasant scent from Xia Shu.

It's not the smell of post-workout sweat.

It is a quiet scent that is as fresh as pear blossoms just picked from the tree, light, refreshing, and ethereal.

They say pear blossoms are white.

Then white is the smell of summer trees.

Rush firmly believed this.

She is still learning now.

Learn how to recognize people's faces.

This is very difficult for her.

To her, the human face is a vast expanse of unfamiliar soft structures.

These are the eyes, these are the nose, these are the mouth, these are the ears.

The doctor told her so, but she had a hard time putting the concepts together.

Dozens of identical faces were placed in front of her, and they all looked the same to her.

She couldn't tell the difference between these humans at all.

This made her both worried and excited.

What I am worried about is what I should do when I arrive at the imaginary battlefield in the future and cannot recognize other people's faces.

What she is looking forward to is, when the day comes that she actually meets Xia Shu, will she see a different look?

Does it look like pear blossoms?

Is this what autumn looks like?

Rush is like this, with a small, humble expectation - from the countless voices in the sea of ​​​​people, looking for the only silent person who can let her smell the scent of autumn.

She waited for someone to take her hand and lead her out of every moment of panic and hesitation.

Into a quiet, sweet garden.

She waited.

40. About shopping

"arrive."

Xiaojie turned her body and said to Juncus.

She stopped and listened carefully to the sounds in the logistics department's canteen.

It's not very noisy and there aren't many people here today.

Rush walked inside.

The logistics squad leader at the door was sitting on a recliner. He saw her and greeted her.

"Rush is here to buy something today."

Rush smiled at the other party and nodded.

It can be considered as a greeting.

She couldn't see the other person's rank, so she didn't know that the logistics squad leader was a sergeant.

I only know that he is a squad leader.

She remembered the voice.

After entering, I could occasionally hear footsteps coming and going, as well as the voices of girls walking together.

There were very few people, which was good.

She always feels a little scared when there are a lot of people around.

Sometimes, people don’t notice that she can’t see and will accidentally bump into her.

It's scary and helpless.

After entering the store, she asked Xiaojie to take her to the beverage area.

Then ask Xiaojie to tell her the name of the drink.

"Orange flavor, blueberry flavor, lemon flavor, yogurt flavor..."

"Anything sweet?"

"Strawberry and ice cream?"

"bring here."

Rush picked up the basket, and Xiaojie went up and grabbed two bottles of soda with her little paws and put them in the basket.

All items in the canteen are free. However, each person is limited to taking one item per portion, and can only take one basket of items per day.

Rush felt the weight from the basket and asked again, "Where's the energy drink?"

Xia Shu said that it is okay to drink energy drinks in moderation, as they are beneficial to sports and health.

“There are many kinds.”

"More taurine."

"Highly sweetened and sugar-free."

"It's very sweet."

After a while, she quickly said, "Forget it, let's go with sugar-free."

Eating too much sweets can easily lead to weight gain.

"The sugar-free ones don't receive many positive reviews," Xiaojie said.

"Then let's have a very sweet one!" Juncao said decisively.

So Xiaojie gave her another bottle of highly sweet energy drink.

Then she went to the dessert area and took a little cake and a few cookies.

I went to the preserved fruit section again and picked up a little bit of peach preserves.

"There's enough sugar." Xiaojie reminded.

So Juncus stopped with a bit of regret.

"Where are we going next?" Xiaojie asked.

"Let's go to the trinket section."

So Xiaojie took Juncao to the place where they could choose small accessories.

You are not allowed to wear accessories during training.

But you can wear it during your rest time.

But you can only wear some simple jewelry, hairpins or small pendants.

Rush took a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands.

Then he carefully removed the ornaments from the box and felt around.

She can't see, so this is the only way she can feel the shape of the jewelry.

Xiaojie would remind her what color and shape it was.

But it doesn't know what is good-looking and what is not good-looking.

I can only tell her what the praise rate of these accessories is.

Rush was very careful in her exploration. She would touch one piece of jewelry from beginning to end, and then do the same with the next piece.

It seemed that in this way, she could completely know what this jewelry would look like on her.

In fact, she didn't know.

After groping for a long time, it seemed that she finally got satisfaction.

She memorized many shapes and many new and interesting looks.

Maybe she should get a hairpin and try it on her head?

But I don’t know what it looks like.

Will it look good?

To whom?

She thought of Xia Shu.

No, she would laugh at herself.

Xia Shu said that it is not appropriate to wear accessories when exercising.

Rush hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up.

She took off her gloves and walked to the packing area with her basket.

The basket was placed on the platform and the counting machine quickly sucked the basket into the machine.

After a while, a paper bag moved in front of Juncus.

She packed all the items she took neatly into paper bags.

Rush carried the bag herself and didn't let Xiaojie help her.

It seems that Xiaojie didn’t get enough sweets today, so she is a little in a bad mood.

When they walked outside, the logistics squad leader greeted her again.

"Rush, let's go."

"Well, goodbye, squad leader."

Then Juncao took Xiaojie's hand and left.

The logistics squad leader watched her leave.

At any time, a girl with such limited mobility will attract a lot of attention.

The NCOs and officers were paying close attention to what she was doing.

Because it is inconvenient, it is easy to get hurt.

Both physically and mentally.

They will pay close attention to their own words and actions, and consider the training methods and approaches from her perspective.

A lot of training was omitted for her.

For example, shooting, and the parts of the queue that require "looking", etc.

As long as she is willing to continue to join the army, all the training can be left for the imaginary battlefield.

It depends on whether she can hold on.

Rush hummed a song and walked slowly along the roadside.

She chose a road less traveled today.

Since it was close to the training grounds, she thought there was a chance she might run into Natsuki.
