"What? What did you say you forgot?" Huang Chen widened his eyes in disbelief.
Akashi, however, gave an ugly smile while crying, "Kashino, Shiranui, Takao and the others, I forgot about so many people, nya."
As she spoke, her whole body drooped, almost sitting on the ground, her face full of guilt.
"Don't be anxious. Tell me clearly what happened first." Huang Chen reached out and stroked the girl's head, comforting her and speaking softly.
"We were originally in Area A, meow, but we just recently came back here. About ten days ago, we arrived in a small city near Area K in Area S, meow, and have been living in a random house, meow."
Akashi paused, then slowly explained, "A few days ago, I went out to buy something, meow, and I met Teikoku on the way. She looked very hungry, meow. I wanted to sell her something, but she ate it all, meow. I haven't paid yet, meow."
"Then I wanted to sell some things at the Kanmusu headquarters, meow, but then I met the Commander and forgot a lot of things, meow."
Huang Chen listened silently and didn't even know what to say for a moment.
Although I knew you were unreliable, I didn't expect you to be so unreliable. You could even forget something like this? If I hadn't accidentally mentioned Kashino just now, when would you have remembered this?
He shook his head and asked with some confusion, "Speaking of which, you came out to buy something. What did you buy? Do you need to buy anything else?"
You have more things on you than many other places in Hong Kong. How come I didn’t realize you needed to buy anything?
"It should be fuel, right?" Enterprise said. "I looked at what you handed in, and the amount of fuel was very small."
"Isn't that still a small amount?" Huang Chen pointed at the door and asked, "Isn't that a huge pile?"
Enterprise smiled helplessly and said, "Commander, many of those are already ours."
"Uh." Huang Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed and immediately changed the subject. "Well, Mingshi, don't be afraid. There's still time. We just set sail. It won't take much time. It won't be a big problem."
Enterprise nodded. "Then I'll go control the Windward and return. We need to inform Jean Bart and the others about these matters. After all, it will take a day to delay them, so as to avoid any misunderstandings."
"So we're going to the KanColle headquarters?" Huang Chen asked, "I just had a sudden idea. Have you heard of Children's Day?"
Chapter 226 How can you just pass the buck?
"Children's Day?" The company was stunned and confused.
Akashi, on the other hand, was jumping up and down, shouting, "Children's Day, a children's holiday, meow? Can Akashi celebrate it too, meow? Are there any gifts, meow?"
After listening to the two people's discovery, Huang Chen immediately realized that there is no such thing as Children's Day in this world.
After all, it is June 1st, International Children's Day. The concept of "international" is almost non-existent in this world now, so it is understandable that there is no Children's Day.
Huang Chen squatted down, his eyes level with Mingshi's, and rubbed the little girl's long green hair and ears. "It is indeed a festival for children, but Mingshi can't participate."
"Why, meow?" Akashi tilted his head.
"Because Akashi is not a child!" Huang Chen suddenly laughed quite viciously, you are already a married woman!
The green-haired girl didn't react at all. She just stared at Huang Chen blankly, not understanding what was going on. Enterprise, on the other hand, understood a little, but didn't say anything. She just said helplessly, "Commander, Akashi doesn't understand anything."
Huang Chen was joking, not taking it seriously. Seeing Mingshi hesitating about wanting to continue to ask to participate in the so-called Children's Day, he did not continue to tease the little girl. He just stood up and rubbed Mingshi's head, "Okay, you can participate."
Hearing this, Mingshi finally calmed down and looked at Huang Chen eagerly, "Will Mingshi have a gift, meow?"
"Yes, we have them all." Huang Chen said with a smile.
Enterprise looked around for a while, and when he felt there was nothing else to do, he looked at Akashi and asked, "Akashi, where is the small city you were talking about?"
Akashi shook her head, unable to put it into words. It was certainly not a problem for her to sail there by herself, but she couldn't tell her where the city was so suddenly.
Enterprise didn't care. "Then come with me to the bridge. There is a nautical map in the bridge."
She then looked at the commander, "We're still almost in the waters of Area K. We'll probably be back at Kanmusu headquarters in about an hour after lunch. If the small city Akashi mentioned is close, we might be there before evening."
Huang Chen nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he heard Enterprise continue to ask, "What exactly is this Children's Day event that the Commander mentioned? Are you planning to hold an event? When will it be held?"
"Children's Day is naturally June 1st," Huang Chen said, then scratched his head. "The specific format hasn't been decided yet, but it's probably just a break for everyone. Maybe some performances? And there will be prizes."
"Performances?" Enterprise was a little confused and hesitant. "Today is the 30th, so it's probably too late for any performance."
"Is that so..." Huang Chen nodded. He thought for a moment and continued, "Indeed, time is tight now, and we're on a ship, so a little token of our appreciation will suffice. Hmm... I'll think about it carefully. I can buy some gifts first, just in case."
Enterprise expressed his understanding, and Akashi said excitedly, "Gift, meow! Does Akashi have a gift too? Akashi wants new clothes, meow!"
"You've forgotten so many of your companions, and you still have the nerve to ask for gifts!" Huang Chen stared at her, but Mingshi seemed to have discovered that his commander had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
No matter what was said at the beginning, it would not matter in the end. He suddenly became arrogant and continued to speak with his head held high, "Akashi has handed all his things over to the port, meow. Commander, you must buy Akashi lots of gifts, meow."
Huang Chen was unable to refute for a moment. Indeed, the Rubik's Cube and supplies in front of him were all handed over by Mingshi, and most of the things in the warehouse outside were also taken out by Mingshi.
Now the girl only wants a little gift. Can’t such a wish be fulfilled?
It was just that this guy was so arrogant for a while that it really made me feel a little sullen. In the end, there was nothing I could do. It was worth out of sight, out of mind. I simply quickened my pace and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."
Then he thought about leaving quickly, but halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Enterprise, "Well, you and Akashi count which ship girls are there."
After saying that, he left the warehouse, climbed the stairs to the first floor of the guest area, and then took the elevator back to his room.
After sitting quietly for a while and relaxing his depressed mood, Huang Chen took out his notebook and began to think about how to carry out the activities for Children's Day.
In fact, this idea did not come suddenly. The initial thought was that the departure of the Windward was a milestone event, and I wanted to celebrate with a big meal, but I never found a suitable opportunity.
At the same time, I also always feel that many ship girls are idle and depressed after returning to the port area.
For example, Amagi and others used to have a hot spring resort, so their daily schedules were quite full. Now, except for Amagi who often helps manage the port area, the other ship girls don’t know what to do.
First, he had to hold it in for so long in that small place of the nursing home, and now he has to hold it in for several months on the Windward. Who knows if he will get any problems?
Then, I suddenly thought of Children's Day, which seemed like a good opportunity for children to have some fun and for adults to relax.
But as the company said, based on memories of elementary and middle school days, it is naturally unrealistic to hold any performances or anything like that, but some fun activities can still be considered.
But we must also note the lack of space on the Windward and the current time constraints.
At this time, Huang Chen found that his imagination was really lacking and he couldn't think of any fun and interesting activities.
He took a piece of paper and listed one item after another, such as bean-picking competition, balloon-blowing competition, and "You Draw, I Guess" competition.
At first, I was thinking of more, such as team cooperation, two-person three-legged race, or something like that, but since this was the first time I was holding this event, I had to be cautious and not make it too complicated, so I put it aside for now.
Finally, a table was drawn up. The three activities on it were blowing out candles, shooting basketballs, and picking up beans. These were relatively challenging competitions. They were all individual competitions, and the top five in each competition would be awarded.
I will think about the process and scoring rules of each competition in detail, and finally plan to make some adjustments in the afternoon and notify everyone of this event during dinner in the evening.
After finishing these, it was almost time for lunch. Huang Chen was just about to go out when he saw Qi Enterprise walking towards him and handing him the documents in his hand.
Huang Chen took it, opened it, and saw it with wide eyes, "So many people? This is beyond my expectation!"
Enterprise nodded in surprise. "There are more than I expected. I thought there were only Kashino, the Takao sisters, and Shiranui."
Huang Chen shook his head, "Shiranui, Shiranui, I should have thought of it earlier. She would also be with her sisters."
Then he put the document in his pocket and turned back to the room. "Enterprise, you came just in time. This is the Children's Day event I planned earlier."
Enterprise's eyes lit up, "Commander's plan? I'll arrange it immediately!"
But Huang Chen interrupted him, "I can go by myself, just leave this matter to me."
After all, it was I who proposed the Children's Day activities, so I should be responsible for it. How can I just pass the buck?
Chapter 227 Secretary Ship Problem
Enterprise seemed a little surprised, looking at Huang Chen with hesitation, "Commander, is this really possible?"
"Of course!" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and glared at Qiye, "Don't distrust me. I can still do something."
"Sorry! Sorry! It's just..." Enterprise said, waving his hands.
But Huang Chen suddenly interrupted, "It's nothing, trust me."
Then they put the topic aside and went to the first floor of the guest area to start lunch.
After dinner and a short nap, the Windward was almost at the Kancolle headquarters, but Enterprise did not go down.
Only Essex and Bumblebee were asked to go to the KanColle headquarters to fax a message to Jean Bart and the others. After all, time was quite tight.
The girls that Akashi had forgotten there were probably getting a little anxious waiting.
Huang Chen also made a piece of paper with some gifts he thought the children might like written on it. They were just ordinary things, such as toys, snacks, etc.
I still feel a little uncomfortable now, because of time constraints, I didn’t have enough time to understand what the children really like. The prizes on the table are Huang Chen’s personal guesses. If I have the opportunity in the future, I must explore it carefully.
It did not stop at the dock of Yongyang City, but sailed directly to the dock near the headquarters of the ship. Although the Windward was a small cruise ship, it was a behemoth compared to the private yachts of some commanders near the headquarters dock.
In order to prevent any trouble, the cruise ship did not enter the dock, but just slowed down slightly near the dock, and then Bumblebee and Essex jumped off the boat and sailed over.
The Windward continued to head towards its destination.
Huang Chen leaned against a corner of the cockpit, watching the tiny shadows of Bumblebee and Essex cutting through the waves in the distance, and sighed, "Shipgirls are so convenient!"
"Commander?" Enterprise, who was sitting behind the console, looked up.
"Ah, no, I was just talking to myself." Huang Chen shook his head, walked over, and looked at the enterprise working on the operating table, which was piled with thick documents and various materials.
Suddenly he asked, "Enterprise, isn't Tiancheng coming over?"
"About Amagi..." Enterprise seemed hesitant. "I've already told her about it, but she seemed reluctant."
"Don't want to?" Huang Chen was very surprised, but then he understood, "Yeah, who wants to go to work if there's nothing to do? I didn't think it through..."
"No, that's not what I meant." Enterprise interrupted Huang Chen and shook his head. "I told Tiancheng before, but she wanted the commander to inform everyone in person."
"Notify her?"
"No, it's to inform everyone!"
"Notify everyone?" Huang Chen frowned, noticing something wrong. Logically speaking, the problem with the addition of the secretary ship did need to be informed to everyone.
But the fact that this suggestion was made so specifically now, and that he was specifically asked to notify everyone at that time, made Huang Chen keenly discover that something was wrong.
He looked at Enterprise's hesitant expression and said slowly, "You mean, someone else has objections to Amagi being a secretary ship?"
"It's not that I have any objections, it's just that as long as the commander personally notifies everyone, there will be no problem." Enterprise explained.
Huang Chen nodded slowly, "I understand."
As the commander, he naturally has the final say in the port area. If he, as the commander, informed everyone that Tiancheng would be the secretary ship in the future, everyone would applaud and welcome him, and naturally no one would raise any objections.
Just like in past games, you can set it as a secretary ship with just a click, without having to consider anyone's opinion.
But reality is not a game after all. The girls have different ideas in their hearts. Can I really just ignore them and pretend they don't exist?
"Enterprise, tell me, what exactly do people think?" Huang Chen asked directly.
Qiye was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Huang Chen's persistence, he said it carefully, "Actually, many people want to be secretary ships."
Then he explained it in detail, and Huang Chen finally understood.
Although it is a job, as a secretary you will be faced with processing various documents and various work arrangements day after day, just like in today's enterprises.
But for most ship girls, becoming a secretary ship means staying with the commander all day long. How can such conditions not attract everyone?
There are several reasons why the company now has a secretary ship. First of all, she was a member of the secretarial team in the past and has this historical experience.
Secondly, when she returned to the port area, it was still in the early stage. There were not many people in the port area, and not many people who could take on the main responsibility at that time. Naturally, the enterprise became the secretary ship, and no one had any objection.
But the situation is different now. First of all, there are already a lot of people in the port area. There are more than 90 ship girls on the Windward, close to 100.
Many of the ship girls are both civil and military, and it can be said that for the position of secretary ship, even a small destroyer can be competent if they work hard.
Now, if we want to select a secretary ship, the commander will directly appoint one, and everyone will of course agree, but it is understandable that there is some dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Why did it have to be Amagi? Cleveland was almost done with the shipping company, so why couldn't she do the same? Wasn't independence a possibility?
Aren't the Shokaku and Zuikaku sisters incapable of this? Wouldn't Taiho want this opportunity?
Wouldn't Dunkirk be up to the task? Wouldn't Veneto... Abruzzi or Skyhawk be good enough?
Of course, these girls will have doubts and some dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Huang Chen nodded, "I understand."
However, Enterprise explained, "Commander, you don't need to worry about it. Just inform everyone."
Huang Chen shook his head and said, "I didn't notice this problem before. Now that you mention it, it is true that this issue needs to be discussed in detail."
"Well, let's do this, Enterprise. Find some less important work and stop there for now." He walked over to Enterprise and looked at the thick documents. "For example, this is the work plan for the lecture hall. Find some similar work."
Enterprise nodded, "Commander, do you have any ideas?"
"My idea..." Huang Chen smiled slightly. "My idea is, I just heard you say that so many shipgirls want to be the secretary ship, so let's have a competition using these items."
