The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

Chapter 690 Taozhou’s Pier

The sea breeze was blowing and the temperature was dropping rapidly. It was only September, but we couldn't wear light clothing like T-shirts anymore.

Miyuki closed the glass window of the cockpit, picked up the light green coat beside her and put it on, then drove the yacht to the berth at the dock.

The staff on the shore immediately stepped forward to guide, "Here, here, slower, slower."

The boat quickly stopped. Miyuki poked her grayish-white furry little head out from behind the edge of the boat, looked around, and then dropped the rope.

The staff member was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously tiptoed to look inside the cabin, "Little boy...where are your parents? Are you alone?"

"Only, there's only me. I'm a ship girl." Miyuki shrank her neck and answered timidly.

The staff member suddenly realized, scratched his head and chuckled, "Ah, it turned out to be a ship girl, no wonder. It's rare for a ship girl to come here on a yacht. I didn't recognize her at first, sorry."

"No, it's okay," Miyuki replied weakly.

This kind of thing is actually very normal, because the Taozhou Ship Girl branch is very small and does not have its own dock, so she can only dock at the city dock. The staff here are all ordinary people, so it is normal that they cannot recognize the Ship Girl for a while.

She slowly tied the rope and returned to the yacht to find her luggage.

The staff watched from the side. They saw the girl carrying her luggage in both hands and slowly walking down the stairs. She looked weak and couldn't help but ask, "Do you need help?"

"Ah, no, no need, someone is here to pick me up." Miyuki smiled and shook her head.

The staff member hesitated for a moment, nodded, left a message saying "Call me if you need anything", and turned to leave.

Miyuki paused, watching the figure in the light yellow fluorescent uniform slowly walk towards another yacht that was docked not far away. She finally relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face returned to normal.

Sure enough, talking to strangers is still so difficult.

She picked up her luggage, identified the direction, and then walked out of the pier.

Even though she had just been told that someone would come to pick her up, Miyuki actually had no idea what was going on.

Starting from Ningyang City, she began her journey to find her former companions. She thought it would be a difficult journey, but the actual experience was much smoother than she had imagined. She soon found clues about the senior and used them to find the senior's address.

Then she immediately sent a telegram and planned her trip there.

But she had no idea whether the telegram had arrived on time or whether the senior had moved.

Despite this, she arrived at the Taozhou dock on time according to the date and time written in the letter. No matter what, she had to go there to see it with her own eyes.

Soon, the girl arrived at the pier. As the only pier in Taozhou, it was bustling with people. The not-so-wide square was occupied by various small vendors, and shouts and conversations could be heard everywhere.

Miyuki was standing in the crowded crowd with her luggage, feeling a little lost. She couldn't even find a quiet place, let alone check whether the senior was waiting for her.

"Let's go to that address first." The girl took a deep breath, took out the map from her pocket, and was about to open it when she suddenly felt a strong force behind her.

She stumbled, and the map in her hand fell out of her hand because she didn't hold it firmly. Then, the passers-by kicked her one by one, and she didn't know where it went.

When she turned around, the person who had bumped into her was nowhere to be found.

"Let's just take a taxi." Shenxue paused and walked towards the street outside with her luggage.

When she reached the street corner, the crowd seemed to have loosened up a lot, and the visibility was much better. She stood on the street and was about to hail a taxi when she heard a voice behind her shouting, "Miyuki!"

"Hmm!" The girl turned around and saw a girl with long black hair and wearing a black coat running towards her. She was holding a sign with the words "Miyuki" written crookedly on it.

"Mikasa-senpai!" She was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed.

"Huh...you're running too fast. I called you many times along the way...Huh, but you didn't respond." The girl trotted to Shenxue, panting and complaining slightly.

Shenxue was a little confused, "Senior, where are you waiting for me?"

"It's in the square outside the dock." Mikasa breathed again and calmed down. "I was afraid you wouldn't see it, so I specially prepared this sign. In the end, you walked past me anyway, and you didn't stop even when I called out to you."

"I, I didn't hear it..." Shenxue said embarrassedly with a blushing face.

"If you didn't see it, then you didn't see it." Mikasa took Miyuki's luggage and walked quickly in front. "To be honest, when I received your letter, I was in a very delicate situation."

"Subtle?" Shenxue hurried to catch up and asked curiously.

"Well, I received a letter from Musashi at that time. You still remember Musashi, right?" Mikasa explained.

"I remember, I remember." Miyuki nodded, feeling a little happy. As expected, as long as she could find the senior, she would soon be able to find her old companions.

"She's a teacher at Nanyang College. A few days ago..."

"Nanyang College!" Shenxue exclaimed subconsciously.

"What?" Mikasa turned around curiously.

Shenxue looked hesitant. "I happened to pass by Nanyang College on my previous trip, but I didn't go in..."

"Oh, so it's such a coincidence." Mikasa seemed quite calm, "It doesn't matter, don't you know her news now?"

"And even if you went to the academy before, you might not have met Musashi. Sometimes fate is like this, there will be some passing by, and some unexpected encounters."

“What I mean by subtle moments are those unexpected encounters.”

Miyuki nodded. Although she still felt a little regretful about Musashi's matter, she was now more interested in the unexpected encounter with the senior.

"I found my former commander." Mikasa paused, then said without hesitation.

Miyuki nodded, then immediately became confused, "Senior..."

"Sounds a bit sudden, doesn't it?" Mikasa smiled gently. "That's what I thought when I received the letter. It was too sudden, and I wasn't prepared at all. But then I received your letter, and I realized that I was the only one who was unprepared. They and you worked so hard to send me that letter for who knows how long."

Miyuki was so confused that she didn't hear anything.

The senior now has a commander, which is a development she never expected.

She looked up blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of her, and her words became hesitant again, "Senior, now, I..."

"Now?" Mikasa turned around, a little puzzled. "Let's go back and eat now. I prepared my signature navy curry rice today. How is it? Are you looking forward to it?"

Chapter 691 The Journey Continues

Miyuki forgot how she followed the senior to the model shop.

I just felt dazed and forgot all the complicated words and the journey, nor could I remember what the senior said on the way.

When she came to her senses, she had already walked to a winding stone path.

Not far away is a low wooden building. The wooden boards used as the gate are covered with black grooves due to the ravages of time, and appear a bit dark yellow.

The sign on the store with the four big words "Dongxiang Model" engraved on it also looked worn and dim.

Although the things are old, they are very clean.

There were no weeds in the cracks between the bricks and stones, and no dust on the wooden boards and some corners. Mikasa put down her luggage, took out the key, and fiddled with the door lock for a while before slowly opening the door.

"This lock is about to break. I was thinking of replacing it, but now there's no need."

The senior chattered on as he removed two door panels, leaving a gap wide enough for one person to pass through. He then turned around and waved, "Come here quickly."

Miyuki murmured in a daze, hurrying to follow.

When you enter the model shop, the first thing that catches your eye is an L-shaped counter. The counter is empty, with nothing in it, but it doesn’t seem like it has always been empty. It seems more like the objects inside have been put away recently.

On the left side of the counter, which takes up almost two-thirds of the space in this small shop, is a corridor.

Behind the corridor is an upward staircase. Through the curtain under the stairs, you can see the room behind it, which seems to be a Japanese-style room.

Mikasa walked in with her luggage and said, "You should take a break first. The room looks a bit messy because of all the packing recently."

Having said that, the room was not messy. Cardboard boxes were neatly stacked in the corner of the room, the floor was covered with tatami, and in the middle was a low table and two legless chairs.

Miyuki followed him in and sat down obediently.

Mikasa quickly put away her luggage, prepared tea and snacks, and then stood up. "I'll go see how the curry is cooking..."

"Senior!" Shenxue suddenly shouted.

Mikasa paused, looked back at the girl kneeling on the tatami, was silent for a moment, sat down at the low table, and poured herself a cup of tea.

"I remember your letter saying you wanted to find your former boss and continue taking on commissions."

Mikasa said, cup in hand.

Miyuki nodded, then shook her head.

This was her original idea, but not every idea can be realized.

She always thought that her former senior was still doing commissioned tasks, and as long as her strength improved, she could continue to join that team.

But the senior hasn't accepted any commissions for a long time, and this model shop has been open for a long time.

It seems that Musashi became a teacher at the academy a long time ago, and the same is probably true for the other members of the team?

Not to mention, the current senior has also found the commander.

Miyuki raised her head, glanced at Mikasa, then lowered her head again in a bit of a loss.

"Indeed, even if we find everyone now, we might not be able to accept any commissions." Mikasa said softly, and Miyuki lowered her head even lower, "I, I understand..."

"But are you only here to ask for a commission?"

Shenxue raised her head, her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything for a long time.

She thought again of the day she left Area C2, her two tenants, and her conversation with the commander.

Is the situation really so critical that I have to seek refuge with my former companions?

Actually not.

But at that time, what inexplicably emerged in his mind were his companions who had completed the commissioned tasks together in the past.

She was also thinking about this question on the way to Taozhou. Since the senior's address was a model shop, she had some doubts about whether she could continue to carry out the commissioned tasks.

But she still came.

"So, the journey of searching must continue, right? At least we have to find all our past companions." Mikasa put down her teacup and smiled.

Miyuki nodded, then realized, "But, Senior, aren't you going to go find the Commander?"

"Ah, how should I put it." Mikasa scratched her head. "Since the commander has been found, he won't disappear again. Besides, I've been waiting for a long time, so waiting another ten days or half a month won't matter."

"Another thing is, I've found the commander. I can't go back alone, right?"

Miyuki raised her head and stared at the senior blankly with a strange expression on her face.

Mikasa also realized that her words were somewhat ambiguous, and waved her hand to explain, "Now that the commander is back, I naturally have to tell this matter to some of the companions who are still in contact."

"Past companions..." Miyuki was stunned at first, wondering what the relationship was between past companions and the senior's commander, but then she realized that this companion should be referring to the senior's past companions in the port area.

Immediately, she realized its deeper meaning: these two companions might be the same group of people.

"That's right. He's also our companion who took on commissions with us. So we'll just be on the same route for the next period of time." Mikasa stood up and straightened her clothes. "Okay, I have to go check on the curry rice."

Miyuki paused and subconsciously asked, "Then, who should we look for first? Lord Musashi..."

"Well... of course it's not her." Mikasa turned around, "You should still remember the Agano sisters, right?"

……

The second time he stepped into the construction building, Huang Chen felt completely different.

When he came in before, he was a bystander, watching the commanders coming in and out with ease, and even had the leisure to guess and evaluate the commanders' construction.

But suddenly, he became an eyewitness.

It was like the onlookers at Caishikou were pushed onto the execution platform, which made people nervous.

Walking slowly to the long table, Huang Chen reported his name and serial number. As training commanders, they did not have student numbers, only serial numbers.

The ship girl behind the long table checked the roster, then took a Rubik's Cube and supplies, "Construction Room 47, good luck."

Huang Chen nodded, took the things and walked along the aisle. When he stood at the door of Construction Room 47, he remembered that this was the construction room he had seen when he came in before.

The construction room was empty at this time, so he pushed the door open and went in, placed the Rubik's Cube and supplies on the table, then lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

For a moment, many chaotic thoughts flashed through my mind.

Not to mention building royal wealth, or other jokes like familiar ship girls.

Without even worrying about the construction failing, he just sat in the room for half an hour and then left with a box of equipment.

Just talking about the most basic thing, he had no idea whether he could resonate with the Rubik's Cube.

Although resonating with the Rubik's Cube is the commander's foundation, it is as self-evident as breathing for the commander and does not require any learning or communication skills.

But Commander Huang Chen is, after all, more special than ordinary commanders.

He took a deep breath, gently placed his hand on the Rubik's Cube, and closed his eyes.
