The sky is clear and the sun is shining.
The dock at Ningyang headquarters is still bustling with people.
The cruise ship docked, cargo was being loaded and unloaded, and the commander in white naval uniform and the ship girls in brightly colored clothes came and went on the dock, looking like ants from a distance.
Bumblebee narrowed his eyes, put his hand on his brow to block out the slightly glaring sunlight, and stared at the distance and exclaimed, "Hey! Sister Enterprise! Is that a cargo ship from the port area?!"
Hearing the voice, Enterprise walked out of the yacht, looked at a cargo ship several times larger than the yacht docked not far away, and then chuckled and said, "That's it."
Bumblebee didn't wait for her answer. He had already crossed his arms and strolled towards the freighter, then stood on the shore and waved.
"Freighter! Is there anyone on the freighter?"
Soon, a girl with long chestnut hair walked onto the deck.
She was wearing a white coat, but her chest was bulging, as if it was about to burst through the clothes, and it was extremely majestic.
The girl's face was slightly bewildered. She looked around, her gaze landing on the dock. She asked in surprise, "Bumblebee?"
"It's Kashino!" Bumblebee waved and walked up the boarding bridge, looking around. "Has everyone else gone to restock?"
"Kaohsiung and the others went to restock, and Jarvis and the others went shopping." Kashino answered with a confused expression on his face. "Why is Bumblebee here? Didn't he say he was going out to pick up the Commander..."
"Because the commander has been brought back." Enterprise followed up.
Kashino looked over blankly, blinking, and then suddenly realized, "The commander has returned? He's here, where is he..."
"He, uh, went to relax outside the dock and will be back soon." Enterprise pursed his lips and then smiled, "This time the commander found Mikasa and Noshiro, come down and meet them."
Kashino nodded, his eyes lighting up.
……
There is a small park outside the pier.
It is long and narrow in shape, with lawns and several crooked walking paths inside.
Huang Chen did not go inside, but went to the crowded direction on the left, towards the commercial street.
In fact, considering the prosperity of Ningyang Headquarters, it is not appropriate to call it a commercial street. It can be called a commercial district.
After just a few steps, there were more pedestrians and shops on both sides of the street.
Jeanne was a little shy at first, but her attention quickly shifted to her surroundings, her sky-blue eyes bright. "It's completely different now."
Huang Chen was stunned and asked, "Have you been here before?"
"I have been here," Jeanne nodded, then hurriedly explained, as if afraid of being misunderstood, "but that was a long time ago, when the front line wasn't even in Area C1."
Huang Chen nodded slightly.
Most of the girls I have have this kind of experience of traveling around.
Searching in different areas, then gradually losing confidence, and finally staying in one place and waiting silently.
But all that is over now.
He pursed his lips and raised his head. "By the way, have you and Richelieu been working as mercenaries in Area J?"
"Is that so?" Jeanne thought for a moment, then nodded. Suddenly, she glanced around, as if to check if there were any other people around. "Actually, I've also wondered why I've been a mercenary in Area J all this time."
The girl frowned, her words filled with doubt.
Huang Chen blinked, not quite understanding what the girl meant. "Are you wondering why we didn't go to other areas?"
He felt that this question was like the question of why manhole covers are round.
It is indeed puzzling, why are manhole covers round instead of square, or even a Reuleaux triangle?
But a manhole cover must have a shape, right?
As a mercenary, it's best to work in one place, right?
Changing back and forth not only makes the journey arduous, but is also not conducive to building name and fame.
The real world is not like in novels, where there is a mercenary association that works tirelessly to form mercenary teams and divide them into levels.
There is also a dazzling mercenary medal. Once it is taken out, even the ignorant country folk will know that this is the kingdom's top five-star mercenary.
Although Richelieu and his team are highly trained and strong, they still need to build up a good reputation over time if they want to gain the trust of their customers.
I've been in Area J for so long, how can I just leave like that?
"No, that's not the problem." Jeanne shook her head, her tone strange, and stretched out her small hands in front of Huang Chen, "Look, Jean Bart is also in Area J, and Dunkirk and the others are also in Area J..."
Huang Chen blinked and understood what the girl meant.
The Libertines and the Vichy Church are actually two camps, a division said to be based on the history of the Old World, but they are actually one family.
KanColle originate from history and transcend history. All the chaos, disputes, wars and hatreds of the old world are far away from them.
All that remains is the sisterhood based on the commander.
Jean Bart and Gascon were Richelieu's sisters.
Then why, even though they both live in Area J and are both mercenaries, is there only a thin thread connecting the two sides?
If Richelieu and others had advanced and retreated with Jean Bart, they would not have been trapped outside the front line and had to cross the abyss sea.
"You mean to say that there is still some estrangement between Richelieu and Jean Bart?"
Huang Chen only thought of this possibility. In the background of the game, there were some ideological differences between Richelieu and Jean Bart.
However, he had been in this world for so long that he had long discovered that the girl he knew had nothing to do with the girl in the game world.
Jeanne pursed her lips and then shook her head, "I, I don't know, but when I was in Area J, I was very close to Silk, but I rarely visited Dunkirk and the others."
Huang Chen touched his chin and asked, "In the beginning, did Richelieu act together with Jean Bart?"
The beginning he mentioned refers to seventy years ago, which is the time when he theoretically disappeared.
"During that time, Richelieu..." Joan of Arc said subconsciously, but was stunned after saying a few words, "It seems so, right?"
"What do you mean by 'seems'?" Huang Chen tilted his head, somewhat confused.
"That's right, I don't remember it very clearly." Joan of Arc looked a little embarrassed.
She scratched her head, chuckled, and then thought carefully for a while, "No, now I'm sure, no."
"No?" Huang Chen nodded, feeling a little amused. Although seventy years was indeed a long time, for an immortal like KanColle, how could she not even remember such a thing?
Maybe I haven't paid attention to it. Naturally, I can't remember things that I don't care about.
Huang Chen touched his chin and suddenly smelled an enticing fragrance.
Chapter 802: Wrong Call
"Ah, grilled sausage."
Huang Chen's nose twitched slightly, and his gaze fell on a sausage stall on the side of the road.
"Does Joan of Arc need it?" He took two steps forward and turned back to ask the girl.
"Ah." Joan of Arc raised her head, her eyes a little confused.
Huang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Are you still struggling? If you don't remember, then forget it."
He was indeed very curious about the affairs of Richelieu and Jean Bart.
But Joan of Arc obviously knew nothing about it.
She is just guessing here. You might as well ask Richelieu directly.
Yes, when it comes to matters concerning the parties involved, it is naturally the easiest and most accurate to ask the parties involved. No matter how you listen to others, the truth will be distorted.
However, Huang Chendao believed that there was no conflict between Richelieu and Jean Bart at all, and there must be a special reason for their separation.
Jeanne frowned, "No, I just feel something is strange."
"What's strange? It won't be strange when we ask clearly." Huang Chen smiled, walked to the sausage stall, bought two, and stuffed one directly into his mouth.
Well, too much meat, too solid.
The other was handed to Jeanne.
The girl took it, lowered her head and hesitated for a while, then stopped thinking about it and took a bite.
Hmm! Not bad!
They continued strolling along the commercial street and ate some snacks. Seeing that it was almost time, the two returned to the pier.
The main reason is that the time is too short, there is still half an hour before the break.
This time he and the girl took a walk, and after going back and forth, excluding the crowded places at the dock, the time they spent alone together was only about ten minutes.
The limit is to be able to prevent Jeanne from glowing while holding my hand.
"By the way, is Jeanne good at swordsmanship?"
On the way back, Huang Chenxian chatted, "I remember you had a rapier."
"Ah, well, I can only say it's just average." Jeanne scratched her head, quite frankly, "Actually, apart from the cannons, the rest of the ship's equipment is mostly just decoration."
Huang Chen blinked, slowed down his pace slightly, and looked at the girl with curiosity.
"Look, I have a rapier and armor in my ship's armor, but I hardly ever use them when fighting the enemy."
"When facing the Sirens, you always need to fire from a distance."
"If you get too close to the enemy, it will affect the other sisters' aiming."
"And close combat isn't advantageous. Those humanoid sirens' ship armor is ridiculous. How could a rapier penetrate a defense that even a cannonball couldn't penetrate?"
"So, I think it's more of a decoration. Anyway, waving the rapier while firing a cannon gives off a very imposing feeling."
Huang Chen nodded, but raised a question, "But you guys are also very strong, and the rapier is also one of the ship's equipment, so it should be no different from a cannonball, right?"
Joan of Arc paused, turned around, her face full of confusion. After a long moment, she opened her mouth and whispered, "I, I haven't thought about it that way."
Huang Chen was a little speechless. He held the girl's hand and said softly, "It's okay. If you can use cannons, don't use swords. You did the right thing."
Jeanne blinked, feeling that there was something else behind the commander's words.
Huang Chen did not continue speaking and changed the subject directly, "I want to say that there is a kendo club in the port area. If Jeanne is interested in these things, you can go and check it out later."
"Fencing Club?" Jeanne seemed to understand something. "Commander, do you want to learn swordsmanship? I do know a little bit."
Huang Chen touched his chin and began to think.
He was just saying it casually, just chatting, without any purpose in mind.
However, when he heard the girl's words, his heart suddenly became lively.
Swordsmanship, this is something he really wants to learn.
In fact, he knew a little about swordsmanship, just like the pastry skills he learned from Dunkirk, it inexplicably emerged in his mind.
However, there are very few, only some basics, more of some knowledge points, and almost no practical experience.
Last time I practiced with the girls in the fencing club, I lost the entire afternoon.
He didn't really care, but he would be happy if he could get stronger and go after those guys to win back a game.
"Then it's settled. When we get back to the harbor, I'll find an opportunity to learn swordsmanship from you."
Huang Chen nodded and made arrangements.
Jeanne chuckled, wielding a nonexistent rapier in her hand. "Even though I've never seen it in combat, I do have some confidence in how to wield a sword."
"As long as the Commander listens attentively and attends classes for a while... well, I'm not saying I want to take classes with the Commander alone."
The girl said, then gave an embarrassed smile.
Huang Chen chuckled, "Then I want to have a private lesson with Jeanne d'Arc, what should I do?"
"Well, well, if the commander insists on doing this, there's nothing we can do." Joan of Arc said with a blushing face and a bright light shining from her body.
Huang Chen chuckled and shook his head, but suddenly he felt his vision in front of him darken, and then it seemed that a few little guys jumped in front of him.
"commander!"
"Ok?"
He turned his head in confusion, only to find that Jarvis and several other little guys had appeared in front of him at some point, looking at him with a smile.
Huang Chen blinked, looked at the little guys, then reached out and touched their heads one by one.
