The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

Of course, it is not impossible to just stay in the bookstore and wait, but there is nothing going on in the bookstore anyway, and there seems to be no difference between waiting in the bookstore and going out to look for it.

"Okay, remember what we agreed upon, the first person to find it can make a request!" Eugen nodded and said.

Huang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What parallel world's promise is this from? They're all drawn by lot. Doesn't it depend entirely on luck whether you can find it or not?"

He waved his hand and said, "How about this, if you find it first, you can have an extra bowl of rice at noon, okay?"

Eugen said nothing, but looked at little Eugen and little Zeppelin beside him, "Let's go, let's go."

"Why should I go too?" Little Eugen frowned, but little Zeppelin seemed a little excited, "Let's go find Sister Richelieu!"

Chapter 781 The Real Big Fish

The troops divided into two groups.

If we include Bismarck and others who stayed in the bookstore, the troops can be said to be divided into three groups.

Dividing troops into three groups usually involves encirclement and annihilation warfare, with the left, middle and right groups encircling the two wings and the middle group attacking head-on.

The positions of Huang Chen and Senior Mikasa are part of the encirclement, but of course they are not the main force, as the main force is in the bookstore.

Therefore, I didn't actually think that I would meet Richelieu on this trip. Even if Richelieu happened to dock at the city pier, I didn't know the exact time and I would pass by her.

"After all, the city's dock is much larger than the KanColle branch's dock." Mikasa said as she walked aside.

The senior was still wearing the same dark, improved uniform today, with a gold stripe on the front, and gold epaulettes and cuffs.

Although he is not wearing white gloves and a coat like in the illustration, he is still very handsome.

"When I was in Taozhou before, I also went to the dock to pick up Shenxue. I was holding up a sign, but I still missed her."

The senior said with a sigh.

Huang Chen was a little surprised and asked, "We didn't encounter any of them at all? Is Taozhou Wharf so big?"

He knew Taozhou was just a small city, and the dock shouldn't be that big, right? But why didn't he pick up the person when he already knew the time and place?

"Oh, that's not the case." Mikasa shook her head. "It was more like we just passed each other. I saw her. She walked past me in a daze not far away."

Huang Chen's eyes widened, then he realized it was Shenxue, and it made sense. "Maybe she's just arrived in a strange place and is too scared to look around?"

The senior was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "I really haven't thought about this direction. Now that I think about it, I feel that the commander's guess is not unreasonable."

Huang Chen shook his head, and the senior continued, "After all, Shenxue has always been a little confused. She was like that when she accepted the commissioned tasks before, and it seems that way now. It seems to be natural."

"That's a really rude comment," Huang Chen said, but suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, Senior, did you often accept commissions in the past?"

"Often? Not really. There was indeed a period of time when I frequently accepted many commissions, but it was only during that period of time." The senior said after thinking for a moment.

Although ship girls possess extraordinary powers, most of them do not like fighting and only accept commissions because of temporary needs.

Some people simply want to try the experience of accepting commissions, or they simply want to make money. In short, there are very few people who simply enjoy carrying out commissions.

Many of Huang Chen’s girls have had such experiences, either going to the front lines or taking on commissions everywhere.

But they all settled down in the end, and it seemed that only Richelieu and Jean Bart were still working as mercenaries until recently.

"Is it just that period of time?" Huang Chen blinked. "Then Musashi was also one of your teammates at that time, and also a companion of Miyuki?"

Mikasa glanced at him and nodded, as if wondering why he would ask such a simple question.

"So, who were your other teammates at that time? Were there any ship girls that I don't know?" Huang Chen asked.

"No more." Mikasa said, then suddenly realized, "It seems that the commander knows the only two free ship girls among the teammates?"

"Now it's the only one." Huang Chen lifted his chin, feeling that it was too much of a coincidence.

He had never thought of this before. After all, the contrast between Musashi and Miyuki was too great, and it was difficult to put these two guys together.

"That's right." Mikasa blinked, suddenly a little excited, "How is the relationship between the commander and Musashi? Do you want me to help you..."

"No thanks!" Huang Chen interrupted the girl and added worriedly, "I have no interest in Musashi at all."

He had a toothache. Fortunately, Eugen didn't know about it yet, otherwise people would say he was playing the long game to catch a big fish, and this time it really was a big fish.

Mikasa laughed and didn't refute.

The two of them walked slowly along the street towards the city dock. There were many docks in Fenggu, and Huang Chen and the others naturally went to the dock that was specially for large passenger ships to dock.

Therefore, its location is not far from the city center, and it can even be said to be quite lively.

The two of them quickly walked to a pedestrian street outside the pier, which was bustling with people coming and going.

Mikasa looked around and said with some regret, "The Harvest Festival is over, but it's still so lively here."

The Harvest Festival has been over for some time, and the activity venue in the Kancolle branch has naturally been removed, and the fireworks show that we watched for more than a week is naturally no longer available.

Even the KanColle branch seemed to be a lot quieter than during the holidays, and in fact, this was the case. Some commanders who came specifically to experience the festive atmosphere brought the KanColle back to the port area, so naturally there were not so many people in the branch.

But Fenggu City is still as bustling as ever.

"After all, compared with humans, the number of ship girls only accounts for a small part." Huang Chen sighed.

Mikasa nodded and said thoughtfully, "Before, when I was in Taozhou, I hardly saw other ship girls in the city."

"Not even one? Not even the KanColle division?" Huang Chen asked back.

Mikasa was speechless, then she couldn't help but reach out and gently hit Huang Chen on the shoulder, scolding with a smile, "Of course I'm talking about the Freedom Ship Girl, Commander, you're such a fool."

Huang Chen silently took the girl's punch, then frowned slightly and reached out to press the place where he had just been hit.

Mikasa was slightly stunned, and then a trace of panic flashed across her face. She gestured in the air with her hands in a bit of confusion, "What's wrong, Commander? I, I didn't use any strength."

"No, it's okay." Huang Chen gritted his teeth, but his tone was a little lower, as if he was enduring something.

The senior became even more flustered, a hint of nervousness flashed in his amber eyes, and he said, "Let's go back immediately and ask Agano, no, let's go to the hospital, the hospital."

The girl looked so flustered that Huang Chen felt it was difficult to continue.

He smiled awkwardly, let go of her hand, and shrugged, "It's okay, I was just kidding."

"...Are you kidding?" Mikasa scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I seem a bit boring."

"No, don't apologize." Huang Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's only appropriate to make everyone laugh when joking. It's my problem."

As he spoke, the two of them walked to the entrance of the pedestrian street and passed by a coffee shop.

In the corner of the hall behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, a blonde girl looked over here with some confusion, then frowned.

"Jeanne, have Béarn and the others returned?"

Across from her, a ship girl with long golden orange hair asked.

Chapter 782 Big Chicken Annoying

"Ah, no, I was just distracted."

Joan of Arc withdrew her gaze and shook her head. In fact, she wanted to say that she saw the commander.

But thinking about it carefully, it was unlikely. How could the commander be here? This was not on the route from Area J to Nanyang College.

"Oh, I thought Bearn was back." Richelieu nodded, looked away, and supported his chin with one hand, seeming a little bored.

Jeanne opened her mouth and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I left all the gifts behind..."

After finally arriving at Fenggu, I was considering whether to go directly to the bookstore to find Bismarck and the others or find a hotel in the branch, but I found that the suitcase I had prepared to carry the gifts was left on the passenger ship.

Originally, that was Joan of Arc's responsibility, but I don't know if she moved too quickly when getting off the boat or what, but she didn't notice it anyway.

It just so happened that the ferry only docked in Fenggu for half an hour, and by the time everyone noticed it, the ferry had already left.

There is no choice but to buy another one.

Béarn then set out with the Triumph and the Terror, while Joan of Arc and Richelieu stayed behind to guard the baggage.

"Didn't I say it's okay?" Richelieu smiled faintly, took a sip of his coffee, and looked at a cat curled up in a cabinet in the corner of the hall. "Maybe I can try to get a cat this time when I go back."

……

At the end of the pedestrian street is a square, and further ahead is the pier.

But Huang Chen just came to pick someone up, so there was no need to go inside, he just had to wait outside.

He and his senior walked to a place with a wide view, found a bench, took out a sign with the three big words "Richelieu" written on it that he had prepared in advance and placed it aside, then sat down to rest.

In fact, he felt that this sign was a bit redundant. If Richelieu and the others really docked at this pier, a group of ship girls would be quite eye-catching to ordinary people and they would not miss them.

It's impossible that Richelieu is like Miyuki, who keeps calling out to us while she keeps walking ahead without paying any attention, right?

"But I still feel more at ease with this sign. It makes it more like picking someone up." Senior Mikasa seemed to see what he was thinking and said.

Huang Chen nodded, "It's always good to be more prepared."

"It's not about being prepared." Mikasa shook her head and explained, "It's more like a habit, just like you have to use a wooden spoon when eating curry rice."

Huang Chen blinked and thought to himself, this is really a habit that fits the status of a senior.

The Pier Square can probably be considered part of the pedestrian street. There are many shops around it, the most common of which are restaurants, and there are also various hotels.

So there are quite a lot of people here, including those who are going on a long journey, seeing someone off, or just shopping. In short, the surroundings are bustling with people.

However, although many people entered the pier from the square, it was rare to see anyone walking out of the pier.

Huang Chen looked towards the depths of the dock for a moment, then said, "I don't think it's a good idea for us to just wait here forever."

Mikasa tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding, "What do you mean, Commander?"

"Let's check the timetable first. When the ferry docks, come and wait. You can stroll around when you have free time." Huang Chen thought about it and put forward his own suggestion.

The senior agreed.

The two men put away the sign and walked into the pier, and soon saw the timetable in the waiting room.

There will be nine passenger ferries docking this morning, but only three of them pass through Taozhou. One of them arrived an hour ago and has even left now.

The other two shifts will have to wait at least an hour.

"They couldn't have happened to be on the previous passenger ship, could they?"

After reading the timetable, Huang Chen touched his chin and thought with some confusion.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking. I didn’t expect that in just one morning, there would be three passenger ships passing through Taozhou and stopping there.

In addition, Richelieu and his companions might not necessarily choose to go directly, and might change ships along the way, which means that there are many possible passenger ships they could take.

"No way." Mikasa shook her head, feeling that it was unlikely.

Let’s not talk about whether Richelieu chose to dock at the city dock, and then let’s not talk about whether she chose to go directly.

Even if all the above conditions are met, the possibility the commander mentioned may only have a one-third probability. If the previous conditions are added, it can be called a low-probability event.

"Yeah, how can there be so many coincidences?" Huang Chen also laughed.

However, since the next two ferries would take more than an hour, they had more time and could also stroll around the area.

"How about going to the pedestrian street again?" he said. "We're leaving Fenggu soon, so we can buy some souvenirs."

Mikasa nodded and smiled, "Speaking of which, I did see a model shop on the way here that I'd like to check out."

"Model shop?" Huang Chen turned around and looked at the girl without saying anything. He naturally knew that one of the senior's hobbies was warship models.

It was similar to Hipper, but he also believed that even Hipper would not suggest going to the model shop in this situation.

"What's wrong?" Mikasa seemed a little confused, scratching her head and wondering, "Commander, don't you like model shops? Then forget it..."

"No, it's just... a little unexpected." Huang Chen said. After thinking for a moment, he remembered the place the girl mentioned and slowly walked towards that direction.

"Actually, I also like models and the like, but I like the kind that are big robots." Huang Chen said as he walked.

Mikasa walked aside, muttering repeatedly, "Big chickens are infuriating? What kind of big chicken can infuriate people? Is it that powerful?"

Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he explained with a mixture of laughter and tears, "It's not a big chicken, it's a big... robot. A big robot, a person made of machines, and it's huge!"

Mikasa nodded, as if realizing something. "I don't quite understand, but Commander, you like models with mechanical structures, right?"

“…That’s about right.” Huang Chen was silent and finally nodded.

Mikasa smiled faintly, "In that case, I can try to help the Commander choose one later."

While the two were talking, they had already walked to the model shop and pushed the door open.

The model shop is not small. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the rows of shelves against the wall and in the middle, as well as the assembled models on the shelves for display.

Naturally, there were no large robots that Huang Chen expected, but models of warships, fighter jets or some large machinery.
