Chapter 395: Halftime
On the way from the Roman Baths to the Japanese Onsen, Su Xia learned from Shokaku the story behind how Kewei came to find him and how Akagi and his men blocked Kewei in the cleaning room.
It turned out that when the killer-like Hancock took and he was rubbing Hancock's back, a deal was reached between the United States and Japan. The two giants of the United States and Japan agreed, and the British system had no choice but to agree to rank third. Who knew that they would make small moves again, which led to such a story.
No wonder Kewei had to pull him to hide, hide in the cleaning utility room, and finally hide in the closet. Skin contact is an accident. But the Roman Baths is so small, or rather the entire Great Baths is so small, how could he escape the pursuit with such a poor hiding? It was just a struggle before death, at least he couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
Su Xia didn't know how to comment on the terrible behavior. Anyway, he didn't hate it. He felt it was quite interesting. For him, it didn't matter who came first or last. But regarding the US-Japan negotiations, it seemed like the great powers were dividing up the colonies and dividing up the bath time for him, the admiral. He really didn't know what expression to show.
Su Xia had a lot to complain about, but he didn't know where to start. He thought of Kewei, who had just had physical contact with him, and felt a little pain in his neck and lips. He worriedly asked, "Akagi brought people to block Kewei... Is he okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Shokaku said, "We are all from the same tutelage, and Akagi knows her limits. Can we still sink the Kagawa?"
Hearing what Xianghe said, Su Xia was really a little worried. But think about it, Kewei was the one who started the trouble first. They are indeed sisters in the tutelary fort. Akagi will definitely not hurt Kewei. As for "hurt", it's hard to say. I believe Akagi can grasp the right degree.
When they arrived at the Hefeng Hot Spring, there was no one there. They only saw hot steam rising from the hot spring water. There was wine and food by the hot spring pool. Su Xia asked, "Kaga, where are Zuiho and Xiangfeng?" He remembered that when Akagi led his men to block Kewei, Kaga, Zuiho and Xiangfeng were not in the team.
"As for them... I'm not too sure. Admiral, ask Akagi later." Shokaku looked around, thinking that Akagi and his men were blocking the way, and Kaga went to the place where the British fleet was bathing and waited for them. Finally, there was an opportunity for the Fifth Fleet to have priority instead of the First Fleet. "Um, Admiral, you just gave so many people from the American fleet a bath... Are you tired?"
No matter how much she wanted the admiral to give her sister a bath, she had to consider the admiral's condition. Shokaku had always been a gentle lady.
Su Xia shook her hands and said, "So I have to give so many people a bath and massage . To be honest, my arms are a little sore, but... Ke Wei suddenly came over... There are so many messes, so it can be considered a break. No problem."
"In that case," Shokaku said, "then I'll trouble the Admiral to give Zuikaku a bath... You don't know, she's been badly injured."
"Wait." Zuikaku interrupted, "Sister, what did you just say?"
"Strange, I was seriously injured, how come I didn't know about it." Zuikaku said, "I'm so lucky, how could I be injured so easily? Even if I was accidentally hit by a bullet, the bomb only hit an insignificant part, just a little scratch. In comparison, you are always unlucky, the victim, always taking the beating for others... Your injury is bigger."
Su Xia looked at the short-haired girl, then looked at Shokaku with her long hair tied up, the gentle sister.
Historically, Zuikaku and her sister ship Shokaku were incorporated into the 5th Air Fleet after completion, and participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the sweep of the remnants of the British Far East Fleet, the Battle of the Coral Sea, where Zuikaku escaped unscathed in the subsequent air raids because she successfully escaped under the rain clouds, and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands...
Because Shokaku and Zuikaku are ships of the same class that operate together, but Shokaku is often injured while Zuikaku is almost always intact, there has gradually been a saying that Shokaku is the "ill-fated" ship and Zuikaku is the lucky ship.
It was not until the Battle of the Marianas that Shokaku was sunk and Zuikaku retreated in a slightly damaged state. Without her sister to help her, she was finally sunk in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
Zuikaku in the game is extremely lucky, and her skills can improve her luck, increase her armor and dodge when she is hit, and she is survival-oriented in every sense. If even she is seriously injured, what a cruel battle it would be. In comparison, Shokaku is really an unlucky guy, and her skill is to be the victim and block the knife for others, so it is normal for her to be injured when she attacks.
"I'm the unlucky one, I'm the victim. It's because I was injured so badly that I can't recover in a short time. Even if the main force comes back, the admiral will definitely help me rub my back." Shokaku said, "But you only have a few scratches that will heal in a short time. If you don't let the admiral help you rub your back now, you won't have the chance in the future."
Zuikaku lowered his head, took off his slippers, and stomped his white feet on the wooden floor, muttering, "I don't care about back rubbing."
"Zuihe, my Zuikaku!" Shokaku's voice rose a few notches, "Admiral, listen to me, just help Zuikaku with a bath, I'm not in a hurry."
Zuikaku wanted to say something, but was glared at by Shokaku. He was silent for a moment and whispered, "Let the admiral help with the bathing as soon as possible, it will be better sooner... Even if I am Lucky Crane, I have been injured before, I know that being injured is painful. I hope my sister's injury will heal soon."
Even if she is a ship girl, if she gets injured, her head will be broken and bleeding, and she will feel pain, but she will heal quickly.
"I'm used to it," said Shokaku.
Zuikaku lowered her head, and as usual, she gently pulled her bangs and said, "Even if you're used to it, it still hurts."
Xianghe was touched that she had a good sister. That was why she loved her sister so much and hoped that she would be happy.
Su Xia watched the two sisters push each other around, they were friendly and respectful, they were real sisters, not just fake flowers, and she was very moved. She said, "Don't push each other around... It doesn't matter who gets to scrub the bath first, it's just five or ten minutes later... If you keep pushing it around, it may not be a good idea to get 20 minutes."
"Okay. Let's go with Zuikaku." Su Xia said, "I'll rub your back first, and then help Shokaku. If I don't rub your back first, Shokaku will definitely not be willing. Shokaku is a big sister, and a big sister should take care of a little sister. If you insist that a little sister take care of the big sister, the big sister will feel uneasy."
"Okay." Zuikaku finally agreed at this point. Otherwise, it would be hypocritical.
Shokaku smiled widely.
Soon after , Zuikaku took off his bath towel and sat on the small bench in the shower area next to Wen Qun's pool.
There is a shower area just after entering the large bath, which is convenient for everyone to take off their casual clothes and change into yukata. After changing into yukata, you can play table tennis, billiards, etc. in the large bath, which may make you sweat, and the shower area next to the bath is for everyone to take a bath directly after taking a shower.
Su Xia sat behind Zuikaku and adjusted the water temperature for the shower. She kept looking at him sideways because Zuikaku's shoulders were so beautiful. They looked like freshly peeled eggs. When she bent over, her spine bulged with rounded joints. She was really beautiful. Finally, she picked up the shower head with the water temperature adjusted and poured water on Zuikaku's head. Then she thought of an important question.
"I forgot to ask just now, Zuikaku should have washed her hair."
"Yeah. I've washed it." Zuikaku answered. It's not an American style, so I just need to wait in line. I don't know when it will be the admiral's turn, so I can only wash my hair and take a bath by myself, first take a bath, and then wait for a back rub.
"Then don't wash your hair."
"You soaked my hair, and now you're telling me you don't want to wash it?" Zuikaku said, "I just washed it casually."
Su Xia looked at Zuikaku, her wet hair covering her face, water drops constantly falling from the ends of her hair, and she felt that she liked the girl more and more, so she asked, "Then wash another one."
After Suxia washed Zuikaku and Shokaku's hair and rubbed their backs, they looked like twins, except for their hair length and personality. They looked exactly the same in other aspects. Their shoulders were equally thin and slender, and their necks were equally slender and graceful when their hair was parted. Their waists were as soft as springs, and their breasts were the same size. Akagi came back with someone.
Akagi saw Shokaku and Zuikaku soaking in the hot spring pool. Su Xia was standing aside with only a towel around her waist, moving her neck and arms. She smiled and said, "Has the Admiral helped Shokaku and Zuikaku to have a bath?"
"yes."
"You're back?" Su Xia said, "Kewei did something a little too much. It was just a joke. You didn't do anything to Kewei, did you?"
"Don't worry, Admiral. We know our limits." Akagi picked up a piece of dessert and started eating it, holding the dessert in one hand and placing the other hand under his mouth to prevent food residue from falling on the ground and making it difficult to clean up. "Even if she embarrasses us in front of the American department, we won't do anything to her. She won't lose any limbs."
"Well……"
Next, Su Xia rubbed everyone's back, including the German Zeppelin, who couldn't wait to come to the Japanese hot springs, and finally went to the British bathing place to rub everyone's back. Just like Akagi said, Kewei didn't lose any arms or legs, but looked wilted. I don't know what kind of treatment he had received, and he was mentally tortured.
It was already an hour and a half later when Su Xia finished scrubbing everyone's backs. She put on her clothes and ran to the dock to wait for the slow-speed light aircraft carrier fleet to return. After waiting for half an hour, everyone finally returned. Then she arranged for dinner, entered the canal, and helped scrub the body.
It was two o'clock in the morning. After helping everyone to have a bath, Su Xia lay on the sofa in the rest area of the large bathhouse, motionless, feeling really exhausted.
But the work is far from over. The main fleet, the escort fleet... the main forces have not returned yet. I don't know how much Xiao Zhai, Xiao Hua and Xiao Luo have achieved.
But before that, you can enjoy the massage in Lexington, or skip the massage in Saratoga, and take a short break.
