The rest of the journey was basically performed by Captain Kancolle alone.
At first, Lexington would answer gently, but later he even stopped answering.
Even so, the captain of the ship girl was not discouraged and continued to chatter.
It was not until they arrived at the destination, Huang Chen and Lexington got out of the car, and the captain of the ship girl went to park the car that the surroundings became empty.
"You must never tell her the address of the port area in the future." Lexington said as she lay beside Huang Chen. She looked haggard, and even the peaceful smile that had always been on her face could no longer be maintained.
Huang Chen nodded, agreeing with it deeply.
The two went in, found the boss, discussed for a while, and finally rented five buses. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they drove to the KanColle branch to take Huang Chen's KanColles to a park in the suburbs, and then brought them back at eight thirty in the evening.
I'll take you there at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and bring you back at 8:30 in the evening.
In addition, Huang Chen also rented a pickup truck to facilitate the transportation of various sundries, etc.
With a pickup truck, the journey back was convenient. Although the ship girl minister invited Lexington to get in her car many times, she was still rejected.
When Huang Chen returned to the KanColle division, he saw Amagi, Akashi and Shiranui sorting something on the dock. He walked over and found that they were preparing to build a stage.
Seeing Huang Chen driving the pickup truck back, Mingshi jumped over excitedly, "Just wondering how to transport it over there, meow."
Then they started moving props and sundries onto the pickup truck, and some girls came to help.
There was a lot of stuff, definitely too much to move all at once, so they quickly loaded up a pickup truck and Suzuya drove off, with Essex behind the wheel giving directions.
Huang Chen also found a stone block to sit down and rest.
Lexington brought over a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "I'm really looking forward to it."
Huang Chen drank the mung bean soup in one gulp and had to admit that although he was somewhat reluctant to perform on stage, he was also looking forward to this performance.
Chapter 349 Wait, where is the photo above?
The afternoon was spent in busyness. The stage construction was much more complicated than Huang Chen had imagined. More things were used, including various props for the performance.
The pickup truck drove back and forth for almost the entire afternoon, and even stopped to refuel once in the middle, before it finally managed to move all the things over.
After the stage was set up, Huang Chen was so tired that he slumped in his chair and didn't move.
There were also many other girls who helped and they each found a place to rest.
The Kitchen Goddess and Dunkirk took the desserts they had prepared in advance and distributed them to everyone. It must be said that this place was really too far away and they couldn't buy anything they wanted.
Snacks prepared in advance also have to be shared carefully, otherwise some unlucky people will not get anything to eat.
After the stage was set up, some girls who were ready to perform began to tinker with their props.
In addition to some singing programs, this performance also includes some special performances, such as Akatsuki's ninjutsu performance; Kaohsiung's kendo performance, etc.
There are quite a lot of different programs.
Some girls were rehearsing on the stage and called Huang Chen, who was lying paralyzed on the side, to rehearse as well, but he refused without mercy.
After a half-hour break, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, almost time for dinner.
The snacks that the Kitchen Goddess had prepared in advance had already been eaten. Essex and Shangri-La were driving to the city to buy some and had not returned yet.
Huang Chen had almost rested enough and got up from the chair.
The stage was built on a vacant lot that was cleared when Lexington and his band held their comeback concert, and it was now being used.
The stage faces the sea with its back and there is a large open space in front of it where chairs can be placed and people from the port area can sit.
Surprisingly, there were not many audiences at Lexington and her group’s comeback concert, so the space cleared was not large.
According to her, this is mainly a signal that there are still many people who know about this idol group, but not many actually come to listen to the songs live.
But if all goes well, it will only take them half a year to recover to the point where they can use a large stadium to hold performances.
But that's not necessary now.
Huang Chen circled the stage twice, checking the spotlights to see if there were any issues. Ji Feng, who was adjusting the sound system on stage, waved his chubby hands and called out, "General, do you want to try this out with us?"
"No need, I believe you, just try it." Huang Chen waved his hand, left the open space and walked to another place.
Soon they reached the path, Huang Chen slowed down his pace and walked as if he was taking a stroll.
This road is very familiar. He used to jog along this road when he went jogging in the morning.
He walked on this familiar road. The weeds around him seemed to be the same as before, but his own fate was very different.
At that time, he was like a duckweed, coming to this helpless world alone, not knowing where his future would go.
And now, he is a commander, owns a huge port area, and many girls are waiting for his return.
Huang Chen's heart was in turmoil when he revisited the old place.
As we walked, we soon came to a familiar fork in the road. At the end of the fork was the tomb that looked like a tourist attraction.
Huang Chen was a little confused, but he walked in along the fork in the road.
The weeds on the side of the path were fallen over, as if someone had been there.
Huang Chen soon saw the familiar hill and the surrounding marble walls.
As he got closer, he saw the words still written on the introduction slate, "Tomb of Navy Commander Marshal Huang Chen". Huang Chen grinned and looked at the tombstone again.
The photo above is still...wait, where is the photo above?
Huang Chen was stunned and looked at the tombstone carefully for a while, but found that the photo that was previously embedded in the tombstone was gone.
He looked around but found no trace of the photo. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. How could something like this happen?
Another sound of footsteps came, and Huang Chen turned around suddenly, only to see a girl with long light blue hair approaching. "Commander, I've bought the food."
"Jiaozi." Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed at the tombstone and said in surprise, "Look, the photo on it is gone."
"Gone?" Essex looked over in confusion, then covered his mouth in surprise. "It's really gone."
Huang Chen carefully went forward to observe it, and finally concluded, "It was destroyed by someone."
"It was destroyed..." Essex couldn't understand, "But why..."
"I don't know either." Huang Chen also shook his head, but suddenly his eyes lit up. He walked to the side and pointed at a stone on the ground and said, "We put the letter under this stone, right?"
Essex looked over and nodded.
When leaving area C11, Qianjin left a letter and buried half of it under a stone because he thought that there might be ship girls from the port area coming over in the future.
But it seems to have had no effect. Lexington even held a comeback concert here, but still no results were found.
"The letter is missing." Huang Chen picked up the stone, looked around carefully, and then said.
"Someone else took it?" Essex seemed to understand.
"I think the person who destroyed the photo and took the envelope should be the same person." Huang Chen stood up and clapped his hands, "I just don't know why."
Essex nodded.
"Lexington suggested I push this thing away." Huang Chen looked at the graves in front of him, "But I still think it's unnecessary. It can be regarded as a memorial. I'll leave a few more letters. Just keep the job advertisement."
The previous letter mentioned that they had gone to District K to look for businesses, and the information in it was outdated. Even if it hadn't disappeared, it was time to replace it.
After saying that, he went back along the way he came.
As they walked along the road, Huang Chen felt a strange sense of time and space confusion. The last time he walked along this road with the girl next to him, he thought Essex had mistaken her for someone else. However, now the two of them had developed an intimate relationship.
He took the girl's hand and smiled. The latter was a little confused and puzzled.
Back to the open space where the stage was set up, many girls were gathering around the pickup truck to get food. Huang Chen also squeezed in to get a meal, then found a chair and started eating.
After dinner, some girls started rehearsing again, and Huang Chen sat on a chair below and watched silently.
When everything was almost cleaned up, it was getting dark. The sunset clouds in the sky were particularly beautiful. The bus we had agreed on also arrived.
Everyone left in their cars, only Bumblebee and Ticonderoga stayed behind. The two of them guarded the place to prevent any accidents, and the pickup truck was also left here.
Back at the Yingfeng, I washed up, and went to bed with Jiaozi. The next day, I got up early, washed up, had dinner, and boarded the bus, which wobbled its way to the park.
Make final preparations, rehearsals, and then go on stage.
The cultural performance has begun.
Chapter 350 Performance
The stage was a bit simple, but it didn't affect the girls' enthusiasm at all.
Everyone found a seat and sat down under the stage. The chairs were full. Even Ayanami and Vicious, who had said they didn't want to come, were sitting peacefully on the chairs.
Some of the girls were contestants who were going to perform on stage later, but there was no request to find a separate person to do their makeup backstage, and everyone sat in front of the stage.
One of the contestants who came on stage was Xiao. The little girl was wearing a black ninja outfit. She ran up, bowed to everyone, and then began to perform.
She said nothing, lonely and silent, but her hands moved quickly, slashing with the samurai sword, and secretly shooting out one or two hidden weapons from time to time.
Huang Chen was watching intently from below the stage, somewhat bewildered. Hiding not far from Huang Chen, Hei Chao was watching Xiao's performance on the stage and secretly shaking his head, seemingly dissatisfied.
Xiao had invited her to perform together before, but Kuroshio believed that once her skills in protecting the commander were displayed, the commander would be in danger.
After hearing this, Xiao became anxious and even considered giving up the performance. In the end, it was Huang Chen who came forward to persuade her and she regained her confidence.
Another reason is that Akatsuki and Kuroshio have completely different attitudes towards ninjas. Although both of them consider themselves ninjas, the former is like a child's role-playing, while the latter is serious.
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose on the stage, and Xiao's small figure rolled over and hid in the smoke. A moment later, as the smoke disappeared, Xiao's figure disappeared as well.
The audience's eyes widened immediately, and after a moment, a burst of applause rang out.
Huang Chen also clapped unconsciously.
Xiao's performance also reached a climax. For the next period of time, the little girl incorporated various of her tricks into it.
Suddenly vanishing in the smoke, a moment later emerging from the shadows to the side, slashing with a blade. Or draped in a rag, merging with the wall as they twist and turn. Or rolling several times, performing various mid-air moves.
A few minutes later, the performance ended and the little girl stood on the stage with a rosy face and bowed to everyone. The audience cheered.
Just one performance was enough to liven up the atmosphere. Huang Chen was quite satisfied, though he thought calling it a Ninjutsu show wasn't quite right; it would be better to call it a Magic Show.
Aren’t the last few moves typical of a magic trick?
The atmosphere of the performance became noisy, and then everyone came on stage one by one. Lexington took the microphone and acted as the host on the stage.
We hadn't considered this originally, but after rehearsing yesterday, we found that it would still be a bit confusing without a host, so Lexington took over.
One girl after another went on stage to perform, and soon some individual performances were finished.
Cleveland walked towards the stage, carrying a drum kit, and began setting up the stage. Akagi and the others also began adjusting their instruments. Everyone's attention was focused on Huang Chen.
"commander……"
"commander!"
The girls stared straight at Huang Chen, their eyes twinkling like colorful little stars, and their hair stood on end as they looked at Huang Chen with anticipation.
He couldn't just sit there calmly, so he had to stand up and walk towards the stage.
As soon as he stood up, there was a thunderous roar of applause. Huang Chen looked over and saw many girls clapping excitedly with red faces.
But the atmosphere is so lively now, of course it is also due to the secret efforts of Zuikaku Bumblebee and others.
When Huang Chen walked onto the stage, the cheers were so loud that they shook the stage. Cleveland knocked on the drums, "Commander, are you ready?"
"Ready." Huang Chen nodded, then turned and looked at the audience.
The roaring cheers died down in the distance, and the surroundings were so quiet that one could even hear the sound of the sea water hitting the shore in the distance.
Huang Chen took a deep breath. The girls in the audience all had excited eyes, and many of them cast encouraging glances at him.
Cleveland's drums started beating, Pu Feng's guitar broke in, and the girls started playing accompaniment. Huang Chen also began to sway to the rhythm.
"The black fish with the wind zither is so coquettish that it's worth teasing..."
After the song was finished, the atmosphere on the scene reached a new climax again. Many girls even got up from their chairs and gathered around the edge of the stage.
Some little ones even wanted to run onto the stage, but were finally carried down by the companies.
Huang Chen no longer felt restrained, jumping around on the stage and starting the second song of "Boundless Oceans and Skies," "Steel Pot..."
Huang Chen's performance soon ended, but some of the little ones clamored for him to sing another song. Bai Xue dodged the Enterprise's obstruction and ran to Huang Chen's side. She tugged at his clothes and looked up at him, her long rabbit ears standing straight up.
"Commander, one more song."
Huang Chen looked at Qiye helplessly, but found that the latter had given up trying to stop him. Suddenly, more girls rushed over like a torrent, surrounding Huang Chen and shouting loudly.
