Chapter 419: Misfortune and Luck
Su Xia watched Ruihe leave, walking farther and farther away. He felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong.
Su Xia shook her head to get rid of all distracting thoughts. Business was the most important thing. What she needed to do now was to find Xianghe.
Su Xia didn't know how to find Shokaku, so she could only imitate Zuikaku and walk while shouting Shokaku's name.
The entire Japanese residential area covers a large area, but it is not very big either. After walking for nearly a minute and shouting "Shokaku" more than a dozen times, Su Xia heard Shokaku's weak voice.
"Admiral?"
Su Xia saw Xianghe, only to find her sitting on a stone bench under a lush tree on the roadside. She must have been sitting on the bench with her back bent and her knees hugged. When she heard his voice, she raised her head, looking so pitiful and helpless that it made people feel pity for her.
"Admiral, why are you here?" Shokaku asked.
Su Xia explained: "I came here for something, and I happened to meet Zuikaku who was looking for you. She said you were lost... something happened but it was nothing serious, so I helped her look for you."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Admiral." Now that the Admiral is here, I can rest assured. Shokaku is a strong wife. No matter how scared she is, she won't cry. "Shokaku is a person with poor direction."
"You can get lost right outside your home..." Su Xia couldn't help but complain, "You are the ultimate directionally challenged person."
"I'm sorry." Shokaku apologized.
"It's okay." Su Xia looked around and said with a smile, "This place is not close to where Zuikaku described you as being lost... How did you get here?"
"I don't know." Shokaku rubbed his headache temple and said, "I wanted to go to the izakaya, but I walked and walked, and suddenly I found that I didn't know the way, so I didn't dare to walk anymore... I was afraid that I would end up in a strange place and never see Zuikaku or the admiral again."
Su Xia laughed and said, "What are you worried about? You've gone to some strange place where you can't see Zuikaku and me. The tutelary fort is on an island. The entire island is so small, and we are the only tutelary fort. Unless you cross the sea and leave, you can't leave even if you want to."
"Admiral, don't laugh at me... I'm afraid of getting lost and suddenly walking into another world. I want to turn back but there's no way." Shokaku said, "Admiral, have you seen that animation... It's like Spirited Away, where you walk through a mysterious tunnel into a strange world."
"Shokaku is actually afraid of something like Spirited Away's disappearance...Shokaku is so cute. Don't call me Mrs. Shokaku from now on. Call me Sister Shokaku instead." Su Xia smiled at Shokaku, "That's fake. It's just a story. How could someone get lost and end up in another world..."
Su Xia paused as he spoke, and he remembered that he was a time traveler.
Since time travelers exist, what does Spirited Away’s disappearance matter?
Su Xia was not familiar with the Japanese residential area. Looking around, he found unfamiliar scenery everywhere. The road he had just walked on suddenly became unfamiliar. He wondered if he had really walked from there. Cicadas were chirping endlessly in the lush treetops above his head. The wind blew the treetops and made a rustling sound. It was empty and quiet here. Quiet means there was no noise from human voices. Apart from the two people, there was no one else to be seen...
Shokaku noticed that the smile on Su Xia's face had disappeared. She became worried. Did the admiral discover something unusual? She whispered, "Admiral?"
"It's okay, it's ." Su Xia said. Having said that, he was really a little panicked now. He had just settled down, and now he was going to a strange world again? It was enough to travel through time once.
"Let's go back, let's go back." Su Xia said as she reached out to Xianghe. She didn't want to take advantage of Xianghe, but she thought that if they held hands, no matter what happened, whether they just got lost or traveled through time, at least the two of them would be together.
Without hesitation, Shokaku gently placed his hand on Suxia's and said, "Are we going to get lost in another world?"
"How is it possible..." Su Xia held Shokaku's hand tightly. Her hand was very soft. He was actually afraid, but as an admiral, he couldn't show his fear. He comforted Shokaku and said, "No matter what happens, Shokaku just hold my hand tightly. Even if we get lost in another world, at least we are together."
Shokaku looked at the confident smile on Su Xia's face and lowered her head slightly. She thought that as long as she held the admiral's hand, nothing would be scary. She said, "If Zuikaku is here, it doesn't matter if I travel through time."
"It's okay, it's okay." Su Xia comforted, holding Shokaku's hand and walking back. After walking for a while, the lush treetops above their heads disappeared, and the tall commercial building of the tutelary fort appeared in their sight. "Shokaku, look, that's the commercial building. We didn't get lost and traveled to another world. We are in the Japanese residential area."
Shokaku also saw the commercial building and breathed a sigh of relief .
Su Xia suddenly patted his head.
"Admiral, why did you suddenly hit yourself?" asked Shokaku.
"Why did we worry so much just now?" Su Xia said, "Cellphone, why not just take out your cellphone and make a call? Everything will be solved. Unless there is no signal on the cellphone, we might need to be nervous, wondering if we are really going to get lost in another world... We got so nervous that we forgot we had a cellphone."
"Oh, yeah." Shokaku realized that the reason she got lost was because she didn't bring her cell phone... Even if she had brought her cell phone, it would be useless, but she wouldn't be so scared if she could contact her sister.
Su Xia took out her cell phone from her pocket, looked at it for a long time, and said, "Speaking of which, Zuikaku should still be looking for you now. Should we give her a call and tell her not to worry?"
"Zuihe is more or less a bit tsundere. She probably won't show how much she cares about you in front of you." Su Xia recalled the expression of the short-haired girl, "Shokaku, you definitely don't know how worried Zuikaku was about you as her sister when I met her."
Shokaku smiled widely and said, "I know Zuikaku is a good sister. If anything happens to me, she will be the most anxious one. You keep calling me a directionally challenged sister, and I am really fed up with you, but every time I get lost, she is the first to find me, hug me and comfort me. It's okay, it's okay, Zuikaku is here."
Su Xia smiled and said, "I was the first one to find Shoukaku today."
"Yes. Today, the admiral was the first to find me." Shokaku was a gentle and reserved lady, and she was shy for a long time. "I have a good sister and a good admiral."
"It's my duty." Su Xia said, "After all, Xianghe is my good wife."
Shokaku smiled faintly.
"After saying so much, I haven't called Zuikaku yet to tell her not to worry. I found you." Su Xia slid the screen of her phone to find Zuikaku's phone number.
"Wait." Shokaku said suddenly, "Admiral, don't call Zuikaku yet."
"What's wrong?" Su Xia had already found Ruihe's phone number, "Is there any problem?"
"I have a question." Shokaku said, "I have a question for the Admiral ."
"What's the problem?"
"The Admiral should like Zuikaku." Shokaku said. As a sister, she cared most about her sister. She finally found a chance to be alone with the Admiral. Her sister was not around, and there was no one to disturb her. She could finally talk to the Admiral about her sister.
"I like it." Su Xia admitted bravely.
"I knew it. I could tell," Shokaku said, "The admiral looked very happy when he was talking to his sister."
"I told the Admiral that Zuikaku also likes you, but it's often... I don't know how to put it." Shokaku continued, "Anyway... I know this request is a bit embarrassing, Admiral, can you take the initiative with Zuikaku? Just a little bit will be fine."
"Your request is not difficult." Su Xia said helplessly, "But you asked me to take the initiative towards Zuikaku, and I have already taken the initiative."
Su Xia talked about the things he did proactively, such as talking to Zuikaku and inviting him to walk on the seaside embankment, but Zuikaku pushed him to someone else. Even if he liked Zuikaku very much, it was a bit discouraging to encounter such things too many times.
Xianghe believed what Su Xia said. She had seen similar things several times and had to say that her sister would not seize the opportunity.
"Then can you please try harder, Admiral?" Shokaku said, "There will always be a chance of success."
"I'll try my best."
"Excuse me, Admiral."
"No trouble." Su Xia hesitated for a moment, "Shokaku is also my wedding ship, right?"
"Yes. I am also the admiral's wedding ship."
"So," Su Xia asked, "you are not anxious or bored at all."
"No hurry...ah, no, I like the admiral too, of course I like the admiral." Xianghe explained anxiously, afraid that Su Xia would misunderstand her, "That's right, it doesn't matter what happens to me, I hope my sister can..." She didn't know how to explain it all of a sudden.
"I can understand your thoughts. As an older sister, you want to give in to your younger sister."
"I'm glad you understand, Admiral."
"I can give in if I can. Sometimes I just can't give in." Su Xia said, "Does Shokaku have to wait until Zuikaku and I do something before he can do anything?"
Shokaku looked up and saw Su Xia looking at her. He knew what the admiral wanted to do.
Su Xia reached out and pushed aside Xianghe's messy bangs.
As a Japanese ship girl, Shokaku is much shorter than those American and British ship girls, so she has to lean down.
But Zuikaku walked to the end of the road, walked out of the Japanese residential area and came to the square, and went to the izakaya to ask everyone, but he still couldn't find his sister.
The entire Japanese residential area is so small. If my sister is not on this road, she must be on that road, the road the admiral is heading for. It has been so long, the admiral must have walked that road, but he still hasn't found my sister, so why didn't he call me?
Zuikaku suddenly thought of a possibility. The admiral seldom came to the Japanese residential area, and there were so many trees here that it was really easy to get lost. I wonder if the admiral got lost too.
Thinking of this, Zuikaku ran away. It was enough that a sister was lost, and now there was another admiral.
After running for a long time, thinking about whether to call the admiral, Zuikaku found two people standing in front of him - the admiral and his sister.
They are kissing.
