Chapter 756: Cat Control
Iris is located where the temperate oceanic climate and the Mediterranean climate intersect. Although the temperature here is in the single digits in January , it is at least a relatively warm place compared to the Northern Union and Iron Blood.
Qin Ge looked at Richelieu beside him and couldn't help but smile, "It's rare to see you wearing this type of clothes."
Richelieu looked at the casual dress on her body and looked at Qin Ge with some doubts, "Commander, do you think this dress is bad? I asked Emile to help me choose it. To be honest, I know nothing about this... But since it's Emile, I'm sure he can't make a bad choice..."
Qin Ge smiled and shook his head. "It's not that it's bad, but I think it suits you very well. It's just that I've never seen you wear it like this, so I feel a little surprised."
"It seems that the commander still has a very stereotyped impression of me." Richelieu smiled, "Although I do look quite dignified and rarely come out, there is no rule in Iris's teachings that forbids resting or smiling."
"I know this. If believing in a religion doesn't bring happiness, then the religion won't last long." Qin Ge said with a smile, "But how should I put it? I'm glad you can go on a date with me today, and in a very different way from your usual self."
"In fact, it is my honor to date the commander. After all, I never thought that someone like me would find love one day." Richelieu said.
"Why do you say that? What do you mean by someone like you? I think you are pretty good. Although you are not as capable as Bismarck, nor as lively as Veneto, you are not inferior to others among the leaders of these camps." Qin Ge said.
"Thank you, Commander, but that's not what I meant," Richelieu said. "Some people hate me because I bring war, some people fear me because I am a cardinal, and some people even hate me because I am a stubborn religious believer. So what do you think of me, Commander?"
"Me?" Qin Ge smiled and said to Richelieu, who had a look of expectation and worry in his eyes.
"To me, you are Richelieu, the leader of Liberty Iris, my shipgirl, the one who will accompany me for life. As for cardinals and believers, they are just labels for you.
Just like what I am holding right now is your hand, not those empty labels, what I can feel is you as I feel you, real and lovable. "
"Lovable? I've never heard anyone say that before. This is the first time I've heard the commander say that. I'm a little concerned. I wonder what's lovable about me in the commander's eyes?" Richelieu asked.
"Which parts are more adorable?" Qin Ge smiled. "How should I put it? For example, the way you pray seriously, the way you focus and stubbornly on certain things, and the way you don't understand some common sense in life, are all very adorable in my eyes.
It's like an angel fallen to earth, otherworldly, clumsy yet lovable."
"Why do I feel like a child in the commander's eyes ..." Richelieu said.
"Well, of course he's not a child." Qin Ge shook his head and said, "It's just a metaphor."
"But suddenly I feel that this is not bad. At least when I am with you, I can put aside my burdens and fully enjoy the happiness given by God." Richelieu said softly.
"So is there any place you want to go today? We finally arrived at Iris, is this a bit like revisiting an old place? Or is it like looking for something familiar in our memories?" Qin Ge said.
"I don't have any particular place I want to go. If possible, we can go to the church or the cat shop together," said Richelieu.
"Cat shop?" Qin Ge asked in confusion, "So Richelieu, do you like cats? No wonder I often see you together since those command cats came to the fleet."
"Well, Commander, don't you think those cats are cute? They are docile, clingy, and clean." Richelieu said seriously.
"It's true that cats are very cute, and many girls like cats. I just feel a little sad about the fact that you, Richelieu, like cats. But since you have made up your mind, let's go to the cat shop. A place like a church is too serious, and it's obviously not a good place for the first date." Qin Ge said.
"Okay." Richelieu nodded. She also felt that it was not a good idea to use the church as the first date location.
The two of them asked people on the side of the road for the direction of the cat shop, then walked in that direction and soon arrived at a pet shop.
There are cats and dogs here, and Richelieu couldn't walk since he entered the store. He squatted next to a group of cats, petting them with his hands, and his whole body was full of satisfaction.
Although Qin Ge had guessed Richelieu's obsession with cats, he didn't expect him to be so obsessed. When the two left the cat shop, Richelieu looked back every few steps, which made Qin Ge laugh.
To be honest, keeping a cat on a ship is a good choice. After all, Qin Ge knows the legend of the unsinkable Sam.
So under Richelieu's expectant gaze, Qin Ge walked back into the store, bought a few kittens and some cat food and brought them out.
"How about it? I just saw your eyes lingering on these cats in the store, so I picked these and bought them. I hope they can bring you some pleasure." Qin Ge smiled and placed the cat cage in front of Richelieu.
"Thank you, Commander. They are so cute." Richelieu said as he was about to pick up the cat cage.
However, this action was stopped by Qin Ge . "We have a date next, and they are not suitable to be carried all the time. Why don't we find a place to rest first, call the people in the fleet, and ask them to come and take these back first?"
"Okay." Although he really wanted to carry these cat cages, Richelieu felt that what Qin Ge said was right, so he agreed.
The two found a cafe nearby and drank coffee while waiting for the fleet to arrive.
Sure enough, not long after, Emil appeared in the cafe.
"Hey, Commander and Bishop, you two are having a date today, and you actually called me over. I feel like something is wrong." Emile smiled at the two of them as he entered the door.
"Ha, I bought a few cats for Richelieu, but I definitely can't take them with me on the next trip, so please help me take them back first." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"I see." Emil looked at the cat cages next to Richelieu and said with a smile, "Leave it to me, Commander. Next, just accompany Her Excellency the Bishop. She has made careful preparations for today's date this morning."
"I know. Be careful on the road then."
"Don't worry."
