Mikasa put down her teacup with a happy smile on her face, "I'll announce good news to everyone then."
"Good news?" Noshiro was a little curious, but didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the silver-haired girl beside her, "How did Miyuki meet the senior?"
"Ah!" Miyuki was startled, clutching her teacup. She looked up blankly before realizing what Nodai had just asked. "I, I was trying to find everyone and continue taking commissions..."
"Commission... Actually, it's not impossible to consider it." Noshiro nodded slightly. This cafe was almost bankrupt. In this case, changing the lifestyle and taking commissions for a few years seemed like a good idea, right?
She suddenly understood something, "Is this the surprise that Senior mentioned?"
"That's not it." Mikasa shook her head.
Miyuki also hurriedly explained, "I, that was my initial thought, but now I'm just on the way with the senior."
"On the way?" Noshiro tilted his head in confusion, wanting to ask for clarification.
jingle--
The crisp welcoming bell rang.
Then came a lively yet somewhat mature voice, "Good news, Noshiro, I found something great!"
The door of the cafe opened, and a girl wearing a beige coat and with her smooth black hair tied in a high ponytail appeared at the door. She had a delighted expression on her face and was waving a flyer in her hand. "I've found a really suitable place. If everything goes well, we can move in this weekend."
"Sister!" Noshiro stood up.
Mikasa smiled faintly, "Agano!"
Miyuki also shouted in surprise, "Agano-nee."
"Senior, Miyuki! Why are you here?" Agano was startled, then a smile appeared on his face. "Ah, what a coincidence, Senior and Miyuki can just help with the move, haha, just kidding."
The girl rubbed Miyuki's head, then pulled up a chair and sat at the table, waving the flyer in her hand. "Senior, do you and Miyuki want to stay? This shop happens to have five bedrooms!"
"What is this?" Noshiro asked curiously.
"What a coincidence." Agano spread out the flyer in her hand. "This is also a coffee shop, very close to the branch office. It was also opened by a Kancolle, but it suddenly moved away some time ago. However, the equipment inside is still there!"
When Noshiro heard this, her gray-purple eyes flickered slightly. It sounded like this was definitely prepared for them.
"And the residential area connected to the cafe has five bedrooms. I was wondering what to do with the two extra rooms. Now that Senior and Miyuki are staying here, it's just perfect." Agano said excitedly, feeling that all this was too much of a coincidence. He had just had this doubt when Senior and Miyuki appeared.
jingle--
The crisp welcoming bell rang again.
A girl dressed similarly to Noshiro opened the door lightly. "Good news! Noshiro-nee! A letter arrived from Senior."
She also had her smooth black hair loose, but her face had an even more playful and cute expression. She waved an envelope in her hand, "A letter from the senior... Ah! Senior! Miyuki!"
"Sakuno." Mikasa nodded, and suddenly felt a little melancholy. This letter arrived even later than her.
Miyuki also greeted them happily, and Jiu Niang came over to rub her little head.
Noshiro looked at it and remembered that he seemed to have never touched it before, so he hesitated whether to do it.
"Now that everyone is here, it's time to get down to business." Mikasa put down her teacup, her expression suddenly becoming serious. She first attracted everyone's attention, then said neatly, "The Commander is back."
Chapter 728 Harvest Festival
It was approaching autumn, and the garden of the Fenggu Kanmusu branch was still densely green. A light sea breeze blew, and the unique smell of the sea swept through the branches of the trees and shrubs, bringing with it a rustling sound.
Huang Chen leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but reach out to touch Eugen's head. He then glared at the other chuckling girls with dissatisfaction, feeling that his character had been greatly insulted.
What does it mean to catch a big fish? He himself has no idea about salvaging a boat.
Not to mention a little Miyuki, weren't Janus and Albion, who had come to live in the port area several times before, also sent back?
Eugen didn't care at all. Instead, he grabbed his hand and squinted his eyes like crescent moons. "Okay, I know you don't care at all. Elbin and Harbin all joined the port area voluntarily."
As soon as these words were spoken, cheerful laughter rang out in the pavilion again.
Huang Chen was speechless and could only rub Eugen's hair again until the girl's hair became messy, but he still didn't feel relieved. He even snatched the snacks from the girl's hand.
"Commander..." Bismarck didn't know what to say. He didn't have this feeling before in the bookstore, but now he felt that the commander was like a child?
"Come to think of it, did Benson and the others leave any commission when they left?" Tirpitz suddenly remembered something and asked.
Huang Chen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lafite, who was huddled aside listlessly. The girl had rarely been awake. Although she was still drowsy, she at least heard everyone's conversation. She yawned and said slowly, "For this kind of thing, you should ask Sister Benson..."
Benson was sitting not far away, staring at the chess set on the table with a sad face.
Her little face was wrinkled, and the rabbit-ear headband on her head drooped limply as if it had a soul. She held a chess piece in her hand, undecided.
"Benson." Huang Chen called out, but the girl seemed not to hear him and was completely immersed in the chess game.
Opposite her, Z26 was staring at the chessboard with great attention, an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face. Could it be that he was going to get his first victory here?
How can I shout "checkmate" in a cooler way?
Tirpitz also called out, "Benson?"
"Ah!" Benson was stunned for a moment, then dropped the chess piece, jumped up excitedly, and posed, "Is there anything I can help you with, the most beautiful girl in the universe?"
The chess piece landed on the chessboard and rolled a few circles, disrupting all the pieces at once.
Z26 was stunned, a look of disbelief on his face. He was stunned for a moment, and then his lips trembled. This first victory, which had finally come...
Bismarck sighed, feeling a little amused and helpless. He walked up to the little guy, hugged him, whispered a few words of comfort, and took out a few candies, finally making Z26 smile happily again.
Huang Chen was also quite helpless, but he didn't care too much. The little guy's previous fight was too normal. Benson looked older, and it was just an expulsion. He asked, "I just want to ask if you left any clues when you moved, like an envelope, a commission, or something like that."
He explained it briefly, but was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so he cited the example of finding Yubari before.
Benson opened his mouth, revealing a rare expression of uncertainty. "It seems... not?"
"No? That's okay." Huang Chen nodded. It wasn't a big deal. He could just find a chance to hand out some flyers later. Now that there were helicopters in the harbor, many things had become much more convenient.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Benson wandered around the pavilion and suddenly remembered the chess game. The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. He even called Z26 and asked for another game.
Bismarck was somewhat helpless, but he sat next to the chessboard to prevent anyone from cheating again.
Huang Chen sat in the pavilion, his eyes sweeping across the woods not far away. Suddenly, he was a little surprised and asked doubtfully, "Is there a commercial street over there?"
They started from the bookstore today, strolling almost across the branch, walking from one side to the other along a coastal path, and finally arrived at this garden.
Theoretically, there shouldn't be any large-scale buildings ahead. The KanColle branch is already on the edge of the city, with the suburbs on one side and the wilderness on the other.
This is true even though the branch is closely connected to the city.
But Huang Chen clearly saw a quite busy street in front of him, similar to a commercial street, with people coming and going, and it was faintly visible behind the woods.
"How strange! I remember there used to be a vacant lot over there. I've only been away for less than a year, the commercial street can't be built so quickly." Eugen looked over and was stunned, biting his index finger lightly and asked in confusion.
Huang Chen's scalp tingled. What was he seeing? Could it be a ghost market?
"Which way?" Tirpitz followed their gaze and was puzzled for a moment before quickly remembering, "It looks like an event venue, right? Those are probably temporary sheds."
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then noticed Eugen's chuckle out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly understood everything.
He immediately glared at her, looked left and right, and then grabbed the girl's two little hands to stop her from biting her hands.
"I remember there was a festival recently... Anyway, it was a festival, and it should be here. There would be some amusement facilities and snacks." Tilby nodded slightly and continued to recall the details.
"Harvest Festival." Zeppelin, who had been sitting quietly nearby, suddenly handed over a flyer. "Someone gave it to me on the road before. It's not very interesting."
"Harvest Festival?" Huang Chen was a little curious holding the flyer and looked at it carefully. It seemed to be a traditional festival in Fenggu City. It was originally a harvest festival to worship the gods, but now it has gradually evolved into an ordinary festival.
The flyer shows the activities that Fenggu Branch has prepared. In addition to the basic food court and amusement facilities, there are also fireworks, bonfires, etc.
And it’s not just one day, but there will be fireworks and bonfires every night for the next week!
"Why don't we check it out after dinner? Or maybe just go to the food court for dinner? It's not far up there after all." Huang Chen looked up with anticipation. He couldn't help but laugh when he looked up at Tirpitz. "Bei Zhai, I asked you before if there was any interesting place, and you said you didn't know, but now it popped up on its own."
Tirpitz was a little dissatisfied. "You already called me Bei Zhai. Do you still expect a nerd to choose interesting places?"
Huang Chen chuckled, and after the chess game between Z26 and Benson came to an end, he invited everyone to go to the activity area above.
Chapter 729 I Learned This from the Commander
There is no main road from the park to the back of the woods above.
Huang Chen thought he needed to walk back a distance and take a detour, but Hobby and Kolk, who were running in front, had already discovered a small path hidden under the branches of the woods.
The crowd went up along the path and walked forward for a while. Before they arrived, they heard noisy sounds and the atmosphere was full of festive cheer. Everyone quickened their pace and soon arrived at the event site.
The first thing I noticed was the two-meter-high pile of firewood in the middle of the square, probably a bonfire pile that burned at night. There was a fence five meters away to prevent accidents.
On the edge of the square, there are small sheds made of wood and tarpaulins. Some sell snacks and delicacies, while others provide simple recreational facilities. They are located next to each other and just circle the square.
It was almost dusk and time for dinner. There were many people in the square, and the aroma of snacks and delicacies was spreading.
Huang Chen rubbed his stomach and suddenly felt hungry. "Let's eat something first?"
"How about trying the fried noodles there? What do you think, Benson?" Bismarck looked around and found a stall that was relatively lively and looked like a formal dining stall.
"Yeah." Benson nodded, looking a little uninterested. She had just lost the second match against Z26, which made her doubt her chess skills. Was she really that bad?
However, 26, who was not far from Z, seemed to be in high spirits and cheerful. Even his red twin tails almost flew up while he was jumping around.
"Chow mein! Chow mein!"
She ran ahead in a few steps, but stopped steadily beside Huang Chen. She raised her head as if waiting for a reward and boasted excitedly, "Commander! I finally defeated my opponent in chess!"
Huang Chen glanced at the listless Benson with the corner of his eye, feeling a little amused, but still reached out and rubbed Z26's head, then took out a piece of candy from Bismarck's pocket and handed it to him.
Bismarck blinked and hesitated. "She just ate several pieces of candy."
"It's okay, I won't get cavities anyway." Huang Chen waved his hand. A ship girl is a ship girl. Even when she doesn't use the power of her ship suit, she is no different from an ordinary little guy, so there is no need to worry about any illness.
You won’t catch a cold if you get caught in the rain, you won’t get a stomachache if you eat unclean food, and you won’t get cavities if you eat too much sugar.
Huang Chen doesn't have the courage.
Although he is no longer an ordinary person in some aspects, the buzzing sound of the dental drill can still make his scalp tingle.
"It's not tooth decay, I'm just worried that she won't eat fried noodles in a while." Bismarck pursed his lips.
Huang Chen spread his hands and said, "That's not a problem at all. There are snacks everywhere here, and you can eat your fill by eating snacks. If you don't want fried noodles, go eat skewers. The lamb skewers over there are really delicious."
As he spoke, he sniffed his nose, as if trying to capture the aroma of barbecue in the air.
Z24 followed silently by the side and, upon hearing this, remarked, "Compared to crude wheat products, the flesh and blood of animals tortured by flames is more suitable."
"We also need to add spices to suppress evil spirits." Huang Chen said.
Z24 raised the corner of his mouth, his golden eyes gleaming. "As a mortal, I never thought you could have such extraordinary insights."
"Commander!" Bismarck was somewhat helpless. He quickly took two steps forward and walked side by side with Huang Chen, his gray-blue eyes staring at him silently. "Commander, at least you should set an example in front of the children."
Her eyes were not serious, and one could even say that she had a doting and helpless smile.
However, Huang Chen still felt a sense of oppression, which made him feel that it was his responsibility and his obligation. He could no longer say anything funny, so he nodded and pressed down the excited Z24 and Z26. "Then let's eat the fried noodles first. Let's talk about it later."
He touched his chin, feeling puzzled. Where is my Persian cat?
Everyone quickly walked to the fried noodle stall, ordered their dishes, and sat in a quieter spot near the inside.
The chef worked very quickly and served all the dishes that everyone ordered in about ten minutes.
Huang Chen took a bite and the taste was just average. There was a bit too much soy sauce, but he was hungry so he finished it quickly.
I even felt it wasn’t satisfying enough, so I ordered another one.
"Looks like we're going to start a bonfire," Tirpitz said.
Huang Chen looked up at the square and saw several staff members in blue uniforms dispersing tourists near the fence, and a few others were carrying oil drums and walking towards the firewood pile.
For a moment, the bustling square became silent, and all eyes were focused here.
Even Lafite, who was drowsy while eating, and U556, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't help but look over with curiosity.
A spark arced through the air and landed on the firewood pile.
Teng——
The blazing red flames rose into the sky like a giant python, climbing up the rugged branches and trunks, and suddenly appeared in the square.
Huang Chen seemed to feel a heat wave coming, and then he heard the crackling sound from the fire.
"What a big fire!" The little ones' faces were illuminated by the bright flames.
Tirpitz couldn't help but sigh, "The light from the bonfire made everything around us seem dark."
Under the illumination of the bright yellow flames, the temporarily silent square regained its vitality.
