The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

"Okay, okay, another song." Huang Chen was helpless and gave in. The girls were so cute, he couldn't refuse them.

Then he looked at Cleveland and the others, "Another song?"

"Commander, sing whatever you want." Pu Feng waved his guitar, appearing very confident.

Huang Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Elbin, who was sitting in the crowd, and said directly, "The blank is outlined with blue and white strokes that gradually fade from thick to thin."

After another song was finished, the little girls tried the same trick again, but this time Huang Chen did not surrender. He directly picked up Hazelwood who was running in front, rubbed the little girl's face, and then picked up Gu Feng and Juanbo who were standing beside him. Then he took a few steps and returned to his chair.

Everyone seemed a little disappointed, but soon with Gascony's performance, the atmosphere became lively again.

Because the atmosphere was lively, some girls who had not originally planned to perform also went on stage to perform, and some even sat in the audience and sang loudly.

Time passed slowly, and the show soon came to the last one, which was a drama performed by small ship girls such as Small Business, Little Cleveland, etc.

Everyone watched with great joy, and as the performance ended, everyone applauded.

Finally, Huang Chen held an award ceremony to present awards to the girls who defeated the Siren Tide, with music provided by a small band from Cleveland.

Huang Chen originally wanted to sing along with the athletes' march, but he couldn't remember the tune, so he gave up.

The award ceremony ended and the performance ended.

Lunch is no longer about driving to the city to buy a set meal, but a large BBQ prepared in advance with various barbecues.

Huang Chen was very satisfied, and many girls even suggested that such cultural and artistic gatherings be turned into regular programs in Hong Kong.

After lunch, everyone started to pack up. Huang Chen was also satisfied until Lexington came to his side and said, "Gridley and the others haven't come yet."

Chapter 351: So this is the plan

"Not coming?" Huang Chen was stunned, then realized the problem.

Lexington said yesterday that if Gridley and the others were quicker, they might be able to get here in the afternoon, and even if they were slower, they could still arrive this morning.

However, it is already noon and there is still no sign of them.

"Maybe they came here and just stayed in the KanColle division?" Huang Chen thought for a while and comforted.

Lexington shook his head. "When I left this morning, I asked Minister Baltimore to tell them to come to us if they come back."

This is troublesome... Huang Chen grinned and looked at the girl in front of him, "Why did you leave early the day before yesterday?"

Lexington sat down on a chair nearby, slowly recalling, "The afternoon before yesterday, we were supposed to call KanColle headquarters to discuss the album release."

Huang Chen nodded. He vaguely felt that this was nonsense, but he didn't care.

"I was in charge at the time, and then I went to the ship's headquarters with Saratoga and Santiago. I heard the news about the commander on the way."

"Santiago heard it first. Someone was discussing a strange Siren Tide in Area C14. Then a commander named Huang Chen ordered the ship girls in the port area to attack and directly broke the Siren Tide."

"After we got the news, we thought about rushing back, and then we went to find Gridley."

"Wait." Huang Chen waved his hand. After talking for so long, he finally got to the key point. "You went to find Gridley? You don't live with you?"

"They live together, but they were going to publish a new magazine the day before yesterday, so they went out in the morning," said Lexington.

Huang Chen didn't ask any more questions. He could probably guess what kind of magazine it was and didn't want to delve too deeply into it. He simply waved his hand, motioning the girl to continue.

"We didn't find them at the Kanmusu headquarters, and since we were in a hurry, we left a letter at their place and left."

"They will definitely go back at night. As long as they go back, they will definitely see the letter we left behind." Lexington said confidently.

Huang Chen frowned. According to the girl, he saw the news the night before yesterday. Even if he rested overnight and set off the next morning, he should have arrived by now.

But there is still no one in sight.

"Maybe he didn't see the letter, or he was delayed on the road." Huang Chen guessed.

However, Lexington shook his head. "If they had gone back the night before, they would have definitely seen it. As for the delay on the road..."

She pondered for a moment and added, "From what I know about them, they definitely won't take a break on their own initiative. Even if they're delayed, it must be due to other things."

"Could it be that he was delayed on the road?" Huang Chen guessed.

Lexington nodded, then added, "If they were delayed on the way, it could only be a siren tide attack."

"This..." Huang Chen was shocked. A Siren Tide attack. How could there be so many Siren Tides in the safe sea area? The last time they encountered it in Area C14 was a rare accident, and it might even be written into textbooks for everyone to learn from.

Did Gridley and the others encounter a siren tide on the road? The possibility is too low.

"what happened?"

Suddenly, Enterprise leaned over and asked. Huang Chen was startled, and then he realized that the chairs around him had been almost cleared away, leaving only him and Lexington sitting there.

"About Gridley." Huang Chen stood up and folded up the chair he was sitting on and handed it to Enterprise. Lexington, who was standing beside him, also stood up and folded up the chair.

"Gridley?" Enterprise took the chair, somewhat puzzled.

Huang Chen explained what happened in detail.

Enterprise listened silently, then looked at Lexington. "Is it possible that they didn't notice the Windward and sailed past?"

"This..." Huang Chen took a breath. If this was true, then there would be trouble.

"No," Lexington shook his head. "The Windward is very conspicuous along the route, so they will stop and ask questions anyway."

"It's possible that something happened in Baishui City and he was delayed by something."

"What could be more important than the Commander?"

The two girls were discussing, and Huang Chen couldn't get a word in for a while. He could only watch their thoughts clash.

Lexington and the company discussed for a long time without reaching any conclusion, but they finally reached an agreement.

Just send the carrier-based aircraft to search along the route, one person going up and one person going down. If Gridley and the others are still on the route, they will definitely be found.

As they spoke, they launched their carrier-based aircraft. Since they were just looking for someone, there was no need to notify anyone else, so they didn't call the other shipgirls.

Huang Chen approved of this method. Watching the two control their carrier-based aircraft with their eyes closed, he continued to speculate, "Maybe they weren't familiar with the route from the Kanmusu branch to the park, so they didn't come? Or maybe they got lost along the way?"

"They have been here before, so they won't get lost..." Lexington said, but suddenly fell silent.

Qieji on the side also opened his eyes with a strange look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Huang Chen asked puzzledly.

"I……"

"I've thought about it carefully, and it's not impossible that they got lost on the way. After all, it's quite far from the KanColle branch to here." Enterprise was about to speak when she was interrupted by Lexington.

"It's just a possibility." Huang Chen didn't notice anything unusual and nodded.

"How about this. Let's start from the KanColle branch, instead of driving, walk along the road over here and see where it's easy to get lost?" Lexington looked at Enterprise and Huang Chen and said seriously.

Enterprise was silent for a moment, gave Lexington a meaningful look, and then shook his head. "I have no opinion."

Huang Chen was a little puzzled. "Will this work? And who would be the most suitable person to go?"

He looked at Lexington and Enterprise, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

Lexington thought for a moment and said, "I'll go. Gridley and I have a good relationship, and it's easy to guess what she's thinking at some point."

"What about the route?"

Enterprise coughed and said, "You can call other people on the route. It's okay."

Huang Chen nodded. He still felt something was wrong, but since Enterprise had said so, he didn't want to think too much about it. "Then Lexington, are you going there alone?"

Lexington's face suddenly froze, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. Enterprise coughed again, "Commander, come along too. Isn't there a kind of mystical connection between commanders and shipgirls? Perhaps it'll make it easier to find something."

Huang Chen thought about it and nodded, "Alright, then the two of us will go over there... Okay?"

He looked at Lexington and immediately understood everything. Wow, I didn't expect that you, Lexington with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have this plan.

Chapter 352 Is This a Date?

Lexington's face seemed to be a little red, but it didn't seem to be. The girl lowered her head, walked to Huang Chen and took his arm, "Let's go, Commander, there is no time to lose."

Huang Chen looked at Qiye with a strange expression. Qiye didn't look away, holding the folded chair in his hand, and said in surprise, "Ah, aren't you packing up?"

Then he picked up the chair and turned away, whistling.

Huang Chen watched Enterprise leave with his eyes wide open, and was pulled by Lexington to the side of the pickup truck. The rented pickup truck had four seats, and the girl sat directly in the back.

Her long pink hair was scattered all over the place, looking a little messy. Lexington didn't care, just patted the chair next to him, "Commander?"

Huang Chen stood at the door, looking at Lexington with a smile on his face. The girl's purple eyes didn't dare to look him in the eye.

He stood there for a while, then got in as well. Mikuma turned around in the driver's seat with a puzzled look, "Commander and Lexington are going back first?"

Huang Chen nodded and said, "Go back first."

Mikuma turned his head, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and said nothing more.

Soon the pickup truck was full. Some girls were curious about why the commander left so early, but no one came forward to ask.

There were some children jumping and leaning on the car windows, wanting to go together, but they were tempted by Huang Chen with candies and snacks and did not follow.

As Mikuma started the pickup truck, Huang Chen and Lexington sat in it and left the park.

The park was quite far from the Kanmusu branch, both being in the suburbs, yet on opposite sides of the city. Fortunately, Wind City wasn't big, and after half an hour, they arrived at the Kanmusu branch's dock.

The ride in the pickup was somewhat silent. Mikuma was a quiet girl. Even if she had temporarily become a driver, she wouldn't necessarily be able to learn the taxi driver's boasting skills.

Lexington was also silent the whole way, just looking out the window. However, when Huang Chen was lying on the chair looking out the window, Lexington would quietly turn his head and look at Huang Chen out of the corner of his eye.

In addition to Huang Chen, some girls had already come over early in the pickup truck. As soon as the car stopped, Mabry Head and Concord, who had been waiting for a long time, came over and started moving things.

"Hey, the commander is back too?" The fashionable blonde girl came up and smiled in surprise, then her eyes fell on Lexington.

She frowned slightly, then showed a look of sudden realization, and laughed and pulled the curious Conked aside.

From time to time, he turned around and looked at Lexington and made a cheering gesture.

Huang Chen looked at the girls with some amusement, I saw it all.

He shook his head, looked at Lexington and whispered, "Let's go along the road and see if there is any trace of Gridley."

Huang Chen lowered his voice, as if he was saying something secret. But before he could finish his sentence, he burst into laughter.

Lexington pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Commander, actually... Gridley and the others are almost here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and huddled in the chair.

"Almost there?" Huang Chen was somewhat surprised and surprised. This was beyond his expectation.

He had originally thought that Gridley and the others had already arrived in Windy City and had genuinely gotten lost along the way. Lexington had just launched a carrier-based aircraft and seen them, which had changed his story.

I didn't expect it hasn't arrived yet?

But that's normal. It's not like I'm directionally challenged. Who would get lost in a place they've been to many times? The most likely scenario is that they got delayed along the way, right?

"Were you delayed on the road?"

"Yes." Lexington nodded, a hint of apology on his face, "Commander..."

However, Huang Chen simply opened the car door, took Lexington's hand and walked down. The girl was a little surprised and didn't have time to finish her words, but she still followed Huang Chen closely.

The two walked to a bench under the shade of a tree on the pier. Huang Chen sat down immediately. Lexington hesitated for a moment and then sat down as well.

The two of them didn't say anything, just stared at the sea silently.

After the pickup truck was unloaded, Mikuma got out of the driver's seat, her career as a driver over. Bunker Hill got in.

The empty pickup truck swayed again and disappeared on the winding road.

The girls who were sorting out the clutter also began to sit down and rest, eating snacks and sour plum soup prepared in advance.

Memphis also came over and prepared a portion for Huang Chen and Lexington. Huang Chen ate some, but Lexington didn't eat any.

The girl was a little worried. She hesitated for a moment and spoke again, "Commander..."

"I saw them." The girl's words were interrupted by Huang Chen.

She watched the commander stand up, and in the distance on the sea, two small figures were gradually approaching and becoming clearer and clearer.

It's Aoba and Gridley.

Lexington stood up and watched the two figures sailing on the sea, then reaching the shore, then leaping up and landing next to Huang Chen. The blonde girl smiled happily, "Commander! It's really Commander. Are you waiting for us here?"
