Chapter 421: Shrine
The famous "Solomon's Ghost" has an appearance that is nothing like her nickname.
The girl had short hair that just covered her ears. Her face didn't look ferocious, but rather pretty.
She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and skirt, sitting under the eaves of the courtyard playing video games. Next to her was a power strip pulled out from the quiet room behind her, with a mobile phone charger plugged in, and a table fan. One setting was enough for the sun-drenched area on this autumn afternoon.
"Let's work together!"
"Come over here, please!"
Ayanami looked at the message sent by the opponent in the multiplayer mode on the screen of the game console and thought to herself, "Mr. Zha, please continue to block the door. The key is with me. If I can't win, you can't win either."
Ayanami controlled her game character, found a place where no one could snatch her key, and squatted down. Then she fell backwards onto the wooden floor in the aisle, looking at the wind chimes hanging above her head under the eaves, which were hung by her sister. She looked at the man standing behind her and looking down at her, and her mouth slightly opened in surprise.
"Admiral?"
Ayanami got up, wondering why the admiral suddenly came here. This was not a public place, but where everyone lived. He had never been here before. She was even more curious about the admiral's eyes and asked, "...What happened to your eyes? Did someone punch you?"
"It's okay." Su Xia touched her eyes, thinking that it was not so easy to conquer the sisters.
"Oh." Ayanami was not curious.
"Are you playing games?" Su Xia saw the game console in the girl's hand, "What game?"
"Mario." Ayanami showed the screen of the game console. "I heard that the admiral is also a gamer, so he should know."
"I know. But I've never played it." Su Xia asked, "Why don't you just hide there?"
"They were waiting behind the pipes to grab my keys... I couldn't win, and neither could they."
"Dividing the slaves." Su Xia smiled. She didn't expect the girl to have such a side.
Ayanami curled the corners of her mouth and did not comment.
Suddenly, a clear sound of knocking on stones rang out in the quiet courtyard. The bamboo tube that was filled with water was lifted up by gravity after the water was poured out, and the bottom of the bamboo tube hit the green pebbles. There was only one admiral in the garrison with hundreds of people, and the admiral's presence in any place was a matter of concern.
"Why is the Admiral here?" Ayanami turned off the game console. "What's going on?"
Su Xia wanted to say that it was nothing, she just came to play with you, but then she thought about it and realized that she did come for something, so she smiled and said, "Guess."
"I don't know." Ayanami replied.
Su Xia smiled and didn't answer.
Su Xia looked around. The natural stones were covered with moss, red maples surrounded the green still water, white sand and gravel paved the ground, and bamboo fences surrounded the aisles. It was a typical Japanese courtyard scenery. She sighed, "It's so beautiful. I should have chosen this place when I chose a house to live in."
The Japanese-style courtyard is beautiful, and the sea-viewing building has its own advantages. When you draw the curtains, you can see the boundless sea. No matter what kind of troubles you have, they are nothing in front of such a sea, and your mood immediately becomes better. Anyway, no matter where you live, you will get bored after living for a long time. He thought that he might not have the opportunity to live there permanently, and he couldn't help laughing.
Ayanami said, "Admiral, you can move in now. Sister Akagi will definitely be very happy."
"Sister Akagi must be happy, is Ayanami happy?" Su Xia asked. He was best at bullying ship girls, especially destroyers.
Ayanami reached for her phone, which was fully charged, and said with her head down, "Be happy."
"I'm happy too." Su Xia asked, "Can I move in with Ayanami?"
"You should ask Fukibo about that."
"Ayanami is the older sister, right? Why are you asking Fukiba?" Su Xia said, "I just want Ayanami to say one thing, whether she agrees or not. I just want to know what Ayanami feels."
"Admiral, if you want to bully me." Ayanami looked at Su Xia, "Be careful that Fukiba finds out."
Su Xia's smile froze.
The destroyer Ayanami had an unusual record in history. For various reasons, she had to face a large lineup of two battleships and four destroyers alone, and she defeated two of the six. Because of this battle, she eventually earned the reputation of "Solomon's Devil".
However, as a ship girl, she is just a serious and positive girl, but she is extremely brave and fearless on the battlefield.
In contrast, her sister, Shikibo, has no legendary experience in history, and in the game, she is just like a passerby because of her strength and ordinary portrait. Even though her appearance has been greatly improved after the transformation, like an ugly duckling turning into a white swan, her strength is still the same.
She happened to have similar experiences and appearance to a character in an anime, and from then on she became a passerby ship girl in the eyes of players .
Shikiha's strength is average, and her appearance is nothing compared to other shipgirls, but that doesn't mean she has a simple personality. Shipgirls have different personalities, but they are generally positive and bright, but Shikiha's personality is different. It's definitely not dark, but it's not positive or bright either. Let's just say she's gray - yandere.
The shipgirls were not the ones who could be taken and taken away at will by the admiral. If the admiral was really overdoing things, the shipgirls would not mind taking action. No matter what, Shikiba was definitely a dangerous person in the naval base.
When Xiao Zhai took out the proposal, he once suspected that the proposal came from that girl.
"How could I possibly bully Ayanami?" Su Xia stopped joking, but was she just going to give in? She changed the subject, "Where's Fukibo? Why can't I see her?"
"She went to the shrine." Ayanami said, "She is a shrine maiden. She has been practicing dancing at the shrine recently... Isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival? The shrine is planning to hold an event."
"What program are you rehearsing?" Su Xia asked. He knew that once a ship girl joined the garrison, she would follow the admiral in deciding what program to perform. The admiral would sometimes consider the ship girls and celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving, or Ocean Day, but most of the time he would not consider it too much. Otherwise, there would be ship girls from various countries in a garrison, and if they all celebrated programs from various countries, it would be endless.
Regardless of the fact that the Japanese government abolished the lunar calendar after the Meiji Restoration and that festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival also declined as a result, it was enough for the garrison to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard from Changchun that Yixian made dumplings on Christmas. So it was no big deal for the shrine to organize activities on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"I don't know much about it either." Ayanami said, "I only know that Shiki goes to practice dancing, Kagura dance, every day to prepare for the performance on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Su Xia nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Aren't you going to dance?"
"Forget it." Ayanami fell to the floor again, "You might as well let me perform wrestling."
Su Xia could imagine Ayanami dancing awkwardly in her miko costume, and said, "Shiki went to the shrine to dance, so where did Amagiri go?"
"I think he went to the pub." Ayanami thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
"So you're the only one staying at home playing video games?"
"Yes." Ayanami subconsciously picked up her phone and opened the chat software. Since the admiral came back, the lifeless group of the garrison has become lively again. Sister Kongo made strange remarks in the group again. She turned off her phone and said, "Admiral... I heard that a wave will come to the garrison in a few days, right?"
Su Xia didn't want to give the impression that she only came to everyone to discuss something, but she didn't expect Ayanami to bring it up on her own initiative. She was so happy that she asked, "Where did you hear that from?"
"I saw it in the group chat." Ayanami asked, "Is this true or is everyone just making it up?"
"Yes." Su Xia said, "Come over tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Ayanami sat up again. "So soon. I haven't prepared anything yet."
"What do you want to prepare? Just treat it normally." Su Xia smiled and took a step back to advance. "Are you planning to prepare any welcoming programs or gifts? Isn't that too grand?"
"Is it not necessary?" Ayanami said, "I don't understand."
"I don't understand either." Su Xia spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking a little artificial.
"Then I'll ask Shiki. And Fubuki and Shirayuki."
"I won't get involved. Just prepare yourselves and don't scare anyone."
Ayanami didn't say anything. She was thinking about how to welcome Ushio tomorrow. She had no idea, so she asked, "When will Ushio come tomorrow?"
"If nothing goes wrong, it will be in the morning."
"You're here this morning? That means we don't have much time left." Ayanami said, "I'll call Shiki and ask her to come back and ask her how to welcome the tide tomorrow."
"Why don't we go to the shrine?" Su Xia suggested. He wanted to see Shikiba in her shrine maiden costume.
They set off for the shrine.
The shrine is not located in a Japanese residential area, but on a mountain outside the garrison. Of course, it is not on the top of the mountain, but halfway up the mountain. The mountain is not big or high, and it is not wrong to say that it is a large earthen slope. You must climb a long flight of stairs, which are made of stone and are now covered with fallen leaves from the lush treetops above.
After passing the Torii, you will reach the shrine. The Torii is an auxiliary building of the shrine, representing the entrance to the divine realm, used to distinguish between the divine realm where the gods live and the secular world where humans live, reminding visitors that stepping into the Torii means entering the divine realm, and all subsequent behavior should be particularly careful.
Su Xia saw Shikiba in the Kagura Hall.
The girl has long hair, wears a crown with a flower hairpin, holds a Kagura bell and a cypress fan in her hands, and wears red-buttoned straw sandals. She shakes the Kagura bell to make a tinkling sound, spreads her hands, and dances in a methodical manner, looking fresh, sacred, and pure.
She was dancing with another person, who was dressed like her, but had longer hair.
That's Snow White.
The second ship of the Fubuki-class destroyer. The Fubuki-class destroyer was a special type of destroyer built by the old Japanese Navy under the Washington Naval Treaty that amazed the world. It was called a special type of destroyer to show that it was stronger than the destroyers of other countries in the world.
Her character portrait in the game is quite exquisite, and her character is a very likable young wife type. From the lines, we can see that she is the most mature, reliable, and steady of the four Fubuki sisters, and has a personality like Yamato Nadeshiko.
They must have seen them from the stage, and their movements froze for a moment.
"Admiral!"
“You’re here.”
Su Xia caught the little girl who flew towards her.
Shimakaze, a Type C destroyer, was the planned "perfect fleet destroyer".
The budget for the ship was approved in the "Maru 4 Plan". The design focused on high speed and torpedo attack performance. However, due to the change in anti-ship tactics after the Pacific War, the plan was suspended and transferred to the construction plan of the D-type destroyer. Therefore, only one ship was built in the end.
It is quite difficult to obtain in the game, but it is all worth it because it is a cute little girl with cat ears.
Rub your face.
I like island style.
