Chapter 543: Shinano Trusts the Admiral
At half past twelve in the morning, Su Xia came to Shinano's room.
Shinano's room looks like everyone else's room, ordinary and nothing special, the decoration is neither Japanese style nor luxurious. Don't compare to King George V's room, which looks like the room of a king, and don't compare to the Indomitable room, which is full of Victorian and steampunk style.
"I told you my room is nothing special." Shinano sat on the bed, which was in the middle of the room, next to the wall. The admiral wanted to see what her room was like, but she told him many times that it was just ordinary, but he didn't believe her. She hoped he wouldn't be disappointed.
Su Xia couldn't help but glance at Shinano, and couldn't help thinking, girl, are you really stupid or dumb? Don't you know what a man wants to do by running into a girl's room at 12:30 in the morning? He walked to the bookshelf and looked at the various beautiful shells on it.
Su Xia picked up a smooth shell and said, "Does Shinano like shells so much?"
"An archerfish gave it to me," Shinano replied. She didn't have much of a fondness for shells, it was just a gift.
"Oh." Su Xia nodded and put down the shells. He knew that archerfish liked marine research and had an ocean research club. Every time they went out, they would always harvest a lot of shells. "These corals must have been given to you by archerfish."
"Yes." Shinano said.
"She gave you so many shells and corals..." Su Xia said sadly, "Why do I have nothing?"
Su Xia made up her mind to use this to threaten the archerfish next time.
"Because..." Shinano didn't know why the archerfish didn't give the admiral a shell. He didn't know if the admiral would resent the archerfish for not giving him a gift. "Admiral, take whichever shell or coral you like. Just think of it as a gift from the archerfish."
"Is it okay if I like them all?" Su Xia asked. He knew why Archerfish didn't give him a gift. It was said that one of the many unspoken rules of the garrison was that no one was allowed to give gifts to the admiral unless the admiral asked for it. Otherwise, if everyone gave a gift, it would be difficult for the admiral to deal with it casually, and in the end it would cause trouble for the admiral.
"Hmm..." Shinano thought for a long time, "Okay."
"No." Su Xia waved her hand and said, "I don't want it. I don't want it if it's not a gift for me."
Shinano wanted to explain for the archerfish, but he opened his mouth and didn't know where to start.
Su Xia looked at the silly girl who was worried about her friend and smiled, "Okay, I was just kidding... The archerfish gave me a shell, but I refused it."
Shinano was skeptical.
Su Xia tried to change the subject and said, "I heard that Shinano and Archerfish are good friends?"
"Yeah, we are good friends." Shinano walked to the desk and put the carrier-based aircraft Tianhe that she brought back from Furuo on the desk. She already had four B-25 bombers on board, so there was no room for Tianhe, so she had to put it outside.
"One of you is Japanese and the other is American... and in history, the Shinano was sunk by the Archerfish... You should be conflicted like Hood and Bismarck, right? Why did you become good friends?" Su Xia asked. If the ship girls from different factions were hostile to each other in history, it is real that they now dislike each other.
"At first, I felt my heart beating fast when I saw the archerfish. Later, when I knew she was an archerfish, I was afraid and avoided her. But she took the initiative to find me and was very kind... Then we gradually became good friends." Shinano thought for a while and said, "A battleship is a battleship, and a ship girl is a ship girl."
"Indeed." Su Xia sat down in front of Shinano's dressing table. "A battleship is a battleship, and a ship girl is a ship girl."
"Compared to Shinano and Archerfish, the relationship between Taiho and Bluefin tuna seems to be more special?" Su Xia remembered that when she was chatting with Taiho at night, she often heard Taiho complain about Bluefin tuna bullying her. "The Archerfish is sensible, while the Bluefin tuna is naughty. In the end, it likes to suddenly appear out of nowhere to scare Taiho."
"I don't know." Shinano shook his head.
Su Xia was just asking casually. No matter what Shinano answered, it didn't matter. He looked around and walked around. He took out his cell phone to check the time and said, "It's already 12:50 so soon."
"It's so late?" Shinano looked out the window and saw that the atrium was pitch black. Of course, the atrium was equipped with a human body sensing system, a high-tech system from Yubari. If someone passed by, the lights would be turned on automatically. "Are you ready to go back, Admiral?"
"What do you mean?" Facing the silly Shinano, Su Xia found that he didn't know how to start. "It seems a bit late. Can I stay here in Shinano?"
"Ah?" Shinano said in surprise.
"Is it not possible?" Su Xia said. He thought to himself that Shinano looked like a mature girl, why was she so clumsy? Because from a historical perspective, the Shinano sank within a day of its official service. From a certain perspective, she was still a little girl who knew nothing. "If Shinano hates the admiral... well, I'll leave now."
Su Xia showed a sad expression and pretended to leave.
"No." Shinano found that Su Xia was about to leave and said quickly, "I don't hate the admiral."
"Does that mean I can stay?" Su Xia stopped and asked.
Shinano didn't know what to say. She was actually looking forward to the admiral staying, but for some reason she was a little scared.
"Don't worry." Su Xia said, "I won't do anything to Shinano. I'll keep my word."
Su Xia said as she walked to the door and locked it.
"Let's go to bed."
It was late at night and the lights were turned off.
Suxia slept on the left side of the bed and Shinano slept on the right side, as close to the bed as possible.
"How much did Shinano drink tonight?" Su Xia suddenly asked. In fact, strictly speaking, it should be last night, because it was already past midnight and it was the next day.
Shinano grabbed the edge of the quilt and whispered, "I don't remember."
"Not drunk?"
"No."
"Let me calculate. I probably drank about one bottle of Landlords in the beginning, and a little more in the end, so about two bottles."
"Yeah." Shinano thought about it and nodded.
"I noticed your face turned red afterwards... You're a little drunk after just two bottles. Shinano's alcohol tolerance isn't that good."
"Mutsu can drink a lot."
"To be honest, it is true."
"I don't like drinking."
"No way... Aren't you the proprietress of the pub who is responsible for accompanying everyone to drink and pouring wine for everyone?"
"It's just that Mutsu insisted that I wear a yukata and dress like that to drink with them, saying it would be more ceremonial."
"She usually wears casual clothes, but she wants Shinano to wear a yukata... Isn't this bullying an honest person? I will teach them a lesson tomorrow. They can't bully Shinano like that."
"No need, Admiral."
"Why? Don't be afraid Shinano, the admiral will protect Shinano."
"It's better not to do so... No one bullies Shinano, everyone is very nice to Shinano... That's right, there's no need to do so anyway."
"Since Shinano says no, then let's do it. Anyway, remember, Shinano, the admiral will always support Shinano."
“Hmm…”
Su Xia glanced at Shinano again. With the dim moonlight shining through the window, she could see the outlines of the furniture in the room and the rise and fall of Shinano lying on her side beside the bed. She pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is Shinano so afraid of the admiral?"
"What?" Shinano said, "No."
"Not yet?" Su Xia said, "Otherwise I'll go sleep on the floor."
She couldn't let the admiral sleep on the floor even if she wanted to. Shinano said, "Don't go. Shinano doesn't hate the admiral."
"Then why is Shinano sleeping so far away?" Su Xia said, "Is the admiral a monster who will eat Shinano?"
"No." Shinano paused, "No."
"In that case, why are you so far away from me?" Su Xia said, "Sleep closer, I'm afraid you'll fall under the bed."
"Okay." Shinano looked back at Su Xia and said hesitantly, moving hesitantly in the bed.
It did move, but only a little bit.
"Come in a little closer." Su Xia said, "Don't worry, Shinano, I won't do anything to Shinano."
"I just want Shinano to come closer so we can chat." Su Xia continued, he didn't believe it himself.
Shinano noticed that Suxia was looking at her, and had no choice but to move further into the bed.
Now the distance between two people is such that they can almost touch each other with just a simple move of their arms.
"Shinano, do you like delicious food?" Su Xia did not continue to ask Shinano to come closer, but instead of lying on her back on the bed, she lay on her side, staring at Shinano with her bright eyes.
"I like it." Shinano replied, because Su Xia was lying on her side and looking at her, and she felt a little indifferent, not that she hated it, but her heart was beating fast.
"What kind of food do you like?"
"Let me think about...snacks."
"What kind of snack?"
"Yanjing, daifuku, mochi, and the like."
"Really?"
"real."
"Then why have I never seen you eat dim sum? Dafeng's kind is the one who likes it."
"I don't dare to eat like Dafeng. I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"fat."
"Not fat." Su Xia gently stretched out her hand and hugged Shinano's waist, "Really not fat, just right."
"Admiral?" Feeling the admiral's strong arms around her waist, his hot chest against her back, and his hot breath blowing on her ears as he spoke, Shinano's voice trembled and her whole body shook.
"What's wrong?" Su Xia asked knowingly.
"Um, um..." Shinano stuttered.
Su Xia pinched Shinano's waist, which was plump, and said, "Shinano's belly is soft."
"Admiral, please stop pinching me." Shinano begged for mercy.
"Okay, I won't pinch you anymore." Su Xia said.
Shinano opened her mouth, finally mustered up the courage, and asked, "Admiral, can you let me go?"
"Hold me for a while." Su Xia said, "Hold me again and let go of Shinano."
"Just for a moment." Shinano reminded.
"Just for a moment." Su Xia said perfunctorily, burying her head in Shinano's hair, "Shinanoi is so cute."
Shinano counted to a hundred in his mind, and was sure that "a moment" had passed, so he asked, "Is the Admiral still not well?"
"Hold me again." Su Xia said, "Don't worry, Shinano, I will just hold you quietly and I promise not to do anything rash."
Shinano had no idea how to refuse.
"Does Shinano like watching movies?"
"Occasionally."
"And the archerfish?"
"There are also big croakers and bluefin bream."
"I like watching movies, too... I like watching Indian movies lately, the kind where you start dancing while they're playing."
"Shinanoh doesn't understand."
"Have you seen Your Name, Shinano?"
"No."
“You can take a look. Highly recommended.”
"good."
“Remember to watch it with the archerfish.”
“Why watch it with the archerfish.”
"No reason." Su Xia smiled. He just remembered the joke that was circulated on the Internet before - Shinano, a high school girl from the Kyudo Club living in Tokyo, was born with a torpedo. After an encounter in a dream, with vague memories of her past life, Shinano began her journey of "looking for you whom she had never met".
The source of that joke is that the last slot of Shinano's initial equipment is a submarine torpedo, which comes from the misfiring torpedo among the four torpedoes fired by Archerfish that penetrated the hull and entered Shinano's lower hangar. Also, the Archerfish's speargun in the game has a green ribbon from Shinano.
"Hmm." Shinano was confused.
While chatting, Su Xia's hands slowly moved upwards, gently touching Shinano's bottom line.
"Admiral?" Shinano shouted.
"Don't be nervous, Shinano." Su Xia said, "I just accidentally touched..."
Next, it was one o'clock in the morning.
Su Xia hugged Shinano tightly and slowly removed Shinano's defenses.
"Does Shinano have any hobbies?"
"No... Kyudo... Does archery count?"
"Of course, why not? I also like archery... We have the same hobby."
"Um."
"I would like to ask Shinano a few questions, is that okay?"
"oh."
Su Xia spoke.
Shinano knows everything.
Su Xia got many answers from Shinano.
First of all, archery is an effective means of physical exercise. Regular and scientific archery can promote good changes in the human body.
As an ancient Japanese national sport, Kyudo Archery has rich philosophical connotations. It not only requires archers to have superb archery skills, but also requires archers to achieve a high degree of harmony between body, mind and bow and arrow under the guidance of "Tao".
Listening to Shinano's talk about Kyudo and archery, Su Xia couldn't help but imagine herself drawing the bow and shooting arrows.
First, gently stroke the bow. The bow is man's companion. Listen carefully to the trembling and singing of the bow.
There are three main standing positions in archery, namely side-standing, exposed and concealed, and there are many other standing positions.
Get ready to shoot your bow.
When shooting arrows, remember not to let the string empty. The arrow must be on the string and must be released. Letting the string empty will damage the bow.
Archery requires gentle force, with a hint of firmness within softness. You cannot pull the bow violently, but rather use gentle force to draw the bow to its full extent. After the bow is fully drawn, the body should be as steady as a mountain, with the whole body exerting force evenly without being stiff.
Archery is a sport that combines gentle force with technical coordination.
Full bow.
Let go, shoot the arrow, and hit the bull's eye.
Archery is very physically demanding. Even with Su Xia as the admiral and the blessing from the sea, he must rest after shooting at most ten times.
All the arrows in the quiver had been shot, and the man was exhausted, so he lay down on the soft grass.
The bow is a treasure. Even after using it, you cannot let it go and must hold it tightly.
I hope that after a good rest, my body will not be sore from archery and I will have to work again.
