Chapter 570: A small episode before Halloween
Missouri is mainly responsible for decorating the naval base for Halloween, but Ella is still responsible for event planning.
If you want to just hang around, you can just stay at the Shipgirls headquarters and wait for Halloween to come. Ella came all the way to the garrison with the intention of making a career, in short, creating an unforgettable Halloween event.
Because of a certain guy's interference, and that guy happened to be the most powerful person in the garrison, many plans could not be implemented or had to be changed a lot. Ella is now very worried.
A lot of random activities have been prepared, but it always feels like it's not enough. Now it's only two days until Halloween, and time is a little tight. Ella, biting a water-based pen, sits in her office - as the liaison officer of the Ship Girls Headquarters, she has been in the garrison for so many years, so she must go to an office - with a sad face.
The activity of finding candy jars hidden throughout the naval base and collecting candies still needs to be carried out.
It's a shame that the dark candy jars containing London-made toffee have to be removed. I really want to see the ship girls who ate the London-made toffee holding their throats and saying that this candy is poisonous.
It doesn't seem enough to just find the hidden candy jar. Do you need to assign someone to be the guardian of the candy jar? If you want to collect candy, you must find the candy jar and then play games such as throwing circles, shooting basketballs, etc. to get candy from the guardian.
Guardians are also human beings and they also have to participate in Halloween activities. No one can be left out of the Halloween activities, so a shift system must be adopted to serve as guardians. Each guardian only needs to guard the candy jar for half an hour, thus ensuring that everyone has a chance to play.
Ella was writing and drawing on her notebook with a water-based pen, writing and drawing without any practical meaning. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed two little guys peeking their heads out, with their hands on the door frame, looking into the room with their little heads, and then quickly disappearing when she looked over.
Ella thought about it , tiptoed away from her desk and walked towards the office door. Suddenly, she jumped into the corridor outside the office, raised her hands and roared like a wild beast. The two little girls were so scared that they rolled on the corridor.
"It's you..." Ella looked at the two little girls. The white-haired girl wearing a T-shirt and shorts was U1405, and the pink-haired girl with twin ponytails and wearing a little skirt was U1206.
U1406 is a mischievous troublemaker, especially with his powerful mouth.
The U1206 is a dud that goes way back in history.
U-1206 was a Type VIIC submarine that was commissioned until the end of the war. She was somewhat famous because during her first combat patrol, a mistake in the toilet on board caused a large amount of water to enter the submarine, and she was forced to surface. Once she surfaced, she was discovered and besieged by bombers. Thus, she set a record: the first submarine killed by enemy aircraft in World War II.
Having experienced such a stupid thing in history, she can be called an idiot as a ship girl.
The combination of a clever one and a stupid one is enough to give Ella a headache.
"Are you okay?" Ella asked, with no intention of lending a hand to help the two people.
"It's okay." U1206 got up from the ground and patted his butt.
"Sister Ella, you scared me." U1405 said, grabbing her hair.
"I'm sorry for scaring you." Ella said, but there was no apology on her face. "What are you two doing here?"
"Sister Ella, Sister Ella." U1206 said, "I heard that you are the planner of Halloween activities?"
"Yeah." Ella was sure that the two little guys came over for a purpose. They must want to ask her about Halloween activities. She had met many people these days.
"How amazing." U1206 said with longing.
Ella felt very pleased when she saw U1206's longing expression. She smiled and pinched U1206's cute face.
"I want to ask, didn't Sister Ella leave and go back to the Kanmusu headquarters? Why did you come back?" U1405 said, "Is it because the admiral asked you to come back?"
“Specially planning a Halloween event?” U1206 blinked her big innocent eyes.
Ella wanted to nod and admit that she came here because of Su Xia's invitation. Wouldn't that make her look more prestigious? But then she thought that such a lie would be too easy to be exposed, and it would not be beautiful when the time comes. She said vaguely, "Although it's not right, it's not far off."
"I don't understand." U1405 shook his head.
“U1206 doesn’t understand either.” said U1206.
"That's right. I came here from the Kanmusu headquarters to help you plan the Halloween activities at the garrison." Ella said pretentiously, "To help you create an unforgettable Halloween."
"Why are you helping us?" U1405 asked, "Do you have money?"
"No," Ella replied.
"So you're the one being taken advantage of?" U1405 asked, "You're helping the garrison even though you don't have any money."
"Does it really require money?" Ella asked.
"Of course." U1405 nodded.
"Does your admiral want money when he asks you for help?" Ella asked back.
"No." said U1405.
"That's it." Ella spread her hands.
"It's different." U1405 said, "The Admiral and I are a family. Sister Ella is not a family to us."
"So I've been here for so many years, and you still treat me as an outsider," Ella said.
U1405 nodded.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Ella waved at the two little guys. She was already annoyed, and now she was even more annoyed.
"Sister Ella, are you unable to make it in the KanColle headquarters, so you ran back?" U1405 asked again.
"What did you say... who did you say couldn't make it in the KanColle headquarters?" Ella said, "I'm doing very well in the KanColle headquarters... and you actually said I couldn't make it. I think I need to teach you a lesson, you little dumb fellow."
Ella really wanted to catch U1405 and give her a good beating. This little girl's words were really hateful.
U1405 realized Ella's intention and slowly backed away. She said, "Sister Ella, what do you want to do? Are you angry because I said it right?"
Ella gritted her teeth as she looked at U1405.
"No." Ella said, "I am very capable at work. If I want, I can be a senior officer at the KanColle headquarters."
"I don't believe it." U1405 said, "Sister Ella used to be an instructor at the garrison... They are all instructors, but Aunt Victory's classroom is always full of people, but Sister Ella's classroom is empty. Does this mean that Sister Ella's teaching skills are not good enough?"
"That's because you, the admiral, have no vision." Aila said loudly, "Otherwise I taught you how to dodge at wide angles, which would be super awesome. It would be super, super awesome and invincible."
"Even if you say you're amazing..." U1405 said, "Big Sister Bismarck told us that when judging a person, we should not look at how she speaks, but how she acts. The dead otaku sister told us not to look at the advertisement but at the effect... If no one wants to learn from you, it definitely means you are not good enough."
Ella wanted to say something but stopped herself. She didn't know how to reason with the two little girls, and it was no use letting the misunderstandings arise. For a moment she felt a little depressed and thought herself to be a hero with short breath.
"And you often make mistakes at work, don't you?" said U1405.
"Who told you that I often make mistakes in my job?" Ella questioned, she was very confident in her abilities.
"The admiral told us." U1405 said.
"Su, Xia." Ella spoke word by word. She had made up her mind that she must go and cause trouble for that guy later.
"No," Ella said. "I never make a mistake at work."
U1405 hid behind U1206 and said with a suspicious expression: "I heard from the Admiral that Sister Ella often makes mistakes at work. When she makes a mistake, she gives the things to everyone and asks them to keep it secret and pretend nothing happened."
"This is intolerable." Ella clenched her fists and pounded them against the wall. "I can never tolerate such slander... Even if that's the case, I'm just a liaison. No matter if it's a typo, or if the originally planned activities are postponed, or if there are always all kinds of chaos when the KanColle headquarters undergoes a major reform... whatever problems there are, they are those guys' problems, not mine."
"Even if those things were done by others..." U1405 muttered.
Ella looked at U1405 and felt a pang in her heart.
"The chair must have been broken by Sister Ella." said U1405.
Ella took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.
"Sister Ella, Sister Ella." U1405 shouted.
"Well." Ella asked, "What else do you guys need?"
"You are not the admiral, right?" U1405 asked.
"Yes." Ella said, "I'm not the admiral, I'm a staff member of the KanColle headquarters."
The KanColle Headquarters is a huge organization, and many people must work together to maintain its operation. There are many admirals and KanColle, and there are also many ordinary staff. Otherwise, where would there be so many admirals and KanColle to provide driving?
"Why not be an admiral?" said U1405.
" Why do you want to be an admiral?" Ella asked back, "Every position needs people to work."
U1405 thought for a moment and crossed his arms, saying, "Being an admiral is super easy, isn't it? No work required, you can play however you want, eat whatever you want, bully whoever you want... Everyone coaxes him, afraid that he will be unhappy."
"Who told you that being an admiral is so easy... Only your garrison is like that? That's your illusion. Your garrison is not normal." Ella said, "In a normal garrison, the admiral is extremely busy with work every day. No matter what, he needs to take care of it... You don't know how many admirals worry about hair loss. If it weren't for the blessing from the sea, they would definitely not be able to hold on."
"The Admiral's job is amazing, isn't it?" U1405 said again.
"There is no high or low in jobs, only different divisions of labor," Ella said patiently.
U1405 made a face at Ella and said, "Do you believe this?"
Ella fell silent. It was obvious that she didn't believe it.
"After all, Sister Ella just can't be an admiral?" U1405 said.
Ella couldn't control herself anymore and staggered towards the two little guys like a zombie.
"Ah, Sister Ella is really angry because her sore spot has been hit...U1206, let's run." U1405 shouted.
U1405 and U1206 fled, and now Ella was the only one left in the corridor. She took a long time to calm down and slowly returned to the office. She had made up her mind that she must find an opportunity to teach those little guys who always slandered her a lesson this Halloween... So what should she do?
Su Xia didn't know that Ella was almost going crazy because of the two little guys. What's worse, she was also very dissatisfied with him because of the two little guys. It was simply an unprovoked disaster... Actually, it can't be said to be an unprovoked disaster, because everything started with him.
He was currently sitting on the steps of the open space next to Indomitable's machine shop, testing the Dullahan equipment that Indomitable had prepared for him. He was using the remote control to fly the pumpkin head in the sky. When he pressed the red button, flames suddenly appeared around the pumpkin head. When he pressed the blue button, a crazy, terrifying laugh would immediately come out...
After trying all the buttons, Su Xia put down the remote control and shouted, "Don't give up..."
"Well." Indomitable asked with goggles on his head, "Admiral, what do you think of this pumpkin lantern I made... I have met all your requirements... You should know that in order to satisfy you, I turned down all other people's requests... Thank me well."
"Well," Su Xia said, "I feel like there are two functions that are a bit useless. I want to remove them, or see... why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing." Bu Niu said, "Admiral, please continue."
"Your eyes make me feel a little scared..." Su Xia said, "Also, I feel that the pumpkin head you made for me yesterday was scarier. Today's pumpkin head looks good at first glance, but it's a little weird after looking at it for a long time... So, if you can, please help me take another look at it."
"Change it back again?" Buduo asked.
"Yes." Su Xia said, "Let's change it back."
Su Xia found that Bu Nie stood up from his seat.
"I'll fight you." Bu Niu rushed towards Su Xia.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, in order to better play the headless knight on Halloween, Su Xia practiced how to drive a motorcycle as usual.
Saratoga sat on the back seat of Suxia's motorcycle and hugged his waist tightly, saying, "I heard that my brother-in-law made Budiou cry. What did the admiral do to Budiou?"
"I don't know." Su Xia said innocently. She really didn't know how she made Bu Ran cry. Didn't she just make a few requests? She had always been fine when she made the requests, but today she suddenly exploded. The last straw that broke the camel's back?
"You said we celebrate Halloween, but do those deep-sea ship girls celebrate Halloween?" Saratoga suddenly asked.
Su Xia stared ahead, waiting until the curve ended and the straight road appeared, then said, "I don't know."
Su Xia thought that the deep-sea ship girls in the game could communicate, but the deep-sea ship girls in this world could not communicate, and no one knew how the deep-sea ship girls lived in their daily lives. The deep sea where the deep-sea ship girls lived was always shrouded in fog, and no matter what high technology was used, it had no effect.
"I think so." Saratoga said, "Didn't they say that Helena's swimsuit was snatched by the deep-sea ship girl? The deep-sea ship girl would travel, so it's not surprising that she would celebrate Halloween, right?"
"Helena's swimsuit..." Su Xia thought that Helena's swimsuit in the game was indeed stolen, but it was impossible in reality. After asking Helena, she said that she lied and said that she stole it from the deep-sea ship girl. Who knew that everyone actually believed it, and the rumor spread like this.
Su Xia drove Saratoga along the ring road and stopped on the side of the road. She saw that there were more people lining up waiting for him to take them for a ride on his motorcycle.
Halloween is getting closer.
October 31st, Halloween is finally here.
