Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

Jiang Lianqiu was curious: "Tell me about it?"

"I can only sense some very one-sided emotions," Hood pondered, carefully observing the gradually receding USS Washington before speaking softly, "Hmm... nuclear leak... Rust Belt... Fog of War... These emotions are very confusing, and I can only extract these key words."

"I almost understand." Jiang Lianqiu couldn't help laughing.

Although the third word is not easy to understand, the first two are easy to understand.

The nuclear power leak incident in Japan was exposed in March 2011.

As for the Rust Belt - if he remembered correctly, the bill passed by Western University this year stipulated that subsidies for workers in Rust Belt areas like Ohio were taken from the maintenance costs of aircraft carriers.

The wounds left by the subprime mortgage crisis have not healed yet, let alone this year, and are even showing signs of getting worse.

It was also from here that the naval funding of Western University became increasingly tight, and coupled with the various Smith commissioners showing their prowess, in the end, Washington was directly stuck in Yokosuka Port and could not move at all.

After listening to Jiang Lianqiu's explanation, Hu De felt extremely complicated.

Rubbing her temples, she sighed, "Forget it, this isn't the White Eagle. It has nothing to do with the White Eagle I remember."

"I became deeply aware of this after I got to know the Royal Navy here."

But as a fellow ship, Hood couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic when he saw that the USS Washington was already showing signs of decline.

"But what does the fog of war mean?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Lianqiu didn't care much about this matter. "Given the situation where they are fighting wars all over the world, it would be strange if they didn't have any emotions about this."

However, Hood, with his keen military insight, realized that something was wrong.

Jiang Lianqiu told her that the USS Washington had been stationed in Yokosuka Port for many years, and during all this time it had never actually participated in a war except for its daily patrol missions.

In this way, it seems strange that the ship is full of war emotions.

Seeing that Hu De started thinking again, Jiang Lianqiu tapped the table with his fingertips in amusement.

"If you're really curious, just let someone else check it out. But don't forget that today is a date, okay?"

Hood came to his senses and found his own behavior funny.

It was rare that the commander agreed to her request for a date, but now he always did things that spoiled the mood.

But speaking of dating—

"...Hmm? Commander, are you concerned about the date talk?"

Hu De supported his cheeks with both hands, leaned forward slightly, crossed his legs under the table, and his slightly swaying toes lightly touched Jiang Lianqiu's trouser legs with the tips of his high heels.

Without waiting for Jiang Lianqiu to answer, Hu De continued with a smile: "It's obvious that the commander should have a lot of experience with girls."

"Everyone is different, including Hood." Jiang Lianqiu said frankly, "Other people's experience is not suitable for you, Hood."

Jiang Lianqiu suddenly felt a sense of novelty.

The women who used to surround her were generally younger, and older sisters like Hood were rare - although Belfast counted, but Belfast always regarded herself as a maid. As for Yixuan, she only looked mature, but in essence she was high in attack but low in imitation. Once Jiang Lianqiu counterattacked, she would immediately become inferior to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Hood is the first person who is as mature and always at ease as him, and can fight with him back and forth.

"Is this a compliment?" Hood glanced meaningfully at Jiang Lianqiu. "I'll take it as a compliment and accept it with gratitude, okay? After all, the commander's words can also be interpreted as meaning that Hood is special."

Look, if the person on the other side was Yixuan now, he would definitely start to avoid the topic.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, but not long after, Jiang Lianqiu heard a familiar voice.

"Mr. Jiang...?"

Jiang Lianqiu looked back and saw a familiar person...

"Ms. Yukinoshita?"

"Is it really Mr. Jiang?" After confirming, Yukinoshita Haruno walked forward with a smile on her face, "Mr. Jiang, just call me Haruno. Miss Yukinoshita is too polite."

Jiang Lianqiu noticed that Yukinoshita Haruno was not wearing a dress for formal occasions, but everyday casual wear.

It seems that she is not participating in any social activities here.

"I haven't had the chance to formally thank Mr. Jiang in person for what happened last time. I didn't expect to meet him here by chance today."

"It's a small matter, don't mention it." Jiang Lianqiu waved his hand. In fact, he had some good feelings towards Yukinoshita Haruno in his heart - if it weren't for the clues she provided, he might not have been able to find Hood and the others now.

Hood obviously also knew what happened to Jiang Lianqiu before they joined. After hearing the name of Yukinoshita Haruno, he immediately connected the information he had learned with the person in front of him.

"I thought only Shiyu and Eriri were here, but I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be here too."

Yukinoshita Haruno's words made Jiang Lianqiu silent.

Those two are here!?

"Huh? Didn't Mr. Jiang come with them?"

When Yukinoshita Haruno saw Jiang Lianqiu's expression froze, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"It looks like our date is going to turn into a group outing." Hood smiled elegantly and extended his hand to Yukinoshita Haruno. "Hello, my name is Hood. Although this is our first meeting, I have heard of you, Ms. Yukinoshita."

5.1 "Having Miss Hood hear my name is definitely the best news I've heard this month."

Although she had no idea who Hu De was or what his relationship with Jiang Lianqiu was, Yukinoshita Haruno spoke the polite words without any hesitation.

She explained, "After the summer vacation, I noticed my sister was always reading at home, so I forced her to go out and relax. I didn't expect to run into Shiyu and Eriri who were collecting folk songs here."

"My sister and classmate Shiyu had some connection over literature, and I saw they were having a heated discussion, so I went out for a walk alone. I didn't expect to run into Mr. Jiang and Ms. Hu De here."

Jiang Lianqiu raised his eyebrows: "Shiyu, are you on good terms with your sister?"

Is this right?

One of these two is awkward, the other is scheming, and both have sharp tongues. If they were to meet, wouldn't they end up fighting?

Chapter 228: It's very hard to understand no matter how you look at it

"Is it strange?"

A pair of arms passed through Jiang Lianqiu's back and hooked across his chest.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to press on his back, leaning her head over his shoulder, her beautiful wine-red eyes filled with accusation.

"I have a feeling that Qiu Jun was secretly criticizing me just now."

"You're amazing!" Jiang Lianqiu looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu in amazement. "Although I didn't deliberately sense the situation around me, you were able to approach silently. That's a big improvement."

"Hehe, Sawamura-kun and I haven't slacked off either, you know?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up, very satisfied with her progress.

"That scheming girl said she saw Brother Qiu here, and I didn't believe her. But it turns out to be true!" Eriri jumped out from the side. "Sister Hood is here too? Sister Hood looks so beautiful today. Can I draw an illustration for you?"

The two last met just a few days ago, so Ying Lili didn't have too much longing for Jiang Lianqiu. Her joy at hearing that Jiang Lianqiu was here soon turned into amazement because of Hu De's outfit today. She was eager to start writing.

As for Eriri, the commander's childhood sweetheart and the first person in 06 to have a substantial relationship with the commander, the attitudes of both the ship girls and the servitors towards her are slightly different from those of others. Many times, what Eriri says is even as effective as Belfast's.

It was just a small request to draw an illustration for himself, so Hood certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Then let's put it this way—"

"Sawamura-kun is so tactless." Kasumigaoka Utaha let go of Jiang Lianqiu and poked Eriri's forehead with her fingertips. "This doesn't look like a good place for you to draw, right?"

Eriri was confused. After receiving a look from Kasumigaoka Utaha, she looked at Hood and finally understood. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Lianqiu and made faces at him.

Then--

That was all that happened. She ran back to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She didn’t get mad!?

Jiang Lianqiu was stunned, his eyes swept over Kasumigaoka Utaha: When did you "train" Eriri to be so well behaved! ?

The senior student smiled and secretly tickled the back of Jiang Lianqiu's hand with her fingertips: "Are you not satisfied? I've done so much, and there's no reward?"

Jiang Lianqiu pointed three fingers under the table.

At first, Kasumigaoka Utaha was confused, but after seeing Jiang Lianqiu's teasing look, she came to her senses and glared at him fiercely.

Three times? She'll die!

And is this considered a reward for her? It is actually a reward for Jiang Lianqiu himself.

"I won't bother you Aki-kun anymore. Sawamura-kun and I have something else to do."

"Eh?"

When being pulled away by Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri became unhappy again. She subconsciously looked at Jiang Lianqiu and secretly took a step towards him.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "..."

She wanted to pry open Eriri's brain right then and there to see what was inside.

Although it’s understandable that Ying Lili couldn’t walk when she saw Jiang Lianqiu, but did she forget how I lied to her before... No, how did I teach her?

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly pinched the soft flesh on Eriri's waist.

"Ouch!" Eriri jumped up, turned her head and bared her teeth at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Why are you twisting my waist!?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "..."

Jiang Lianqiu: “…”

Hood tilted his head, covered his mouth with his hands and kept laughing. Next to him, Yukinoshita Haruno, who had been silent since the two appeared, had her shoulders shaking violently.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Pulling Eriri by the hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha left without saying a word, taking heavy steps.

Yukinoshita Haruno also knew that it was time for her to say goodbye, so she politely bowed to Jiang Lianqiu and turned around to follow him.

Hu De gently stirred the black tea with a spoon, watching Ying Lili being pulled away with a pout on her face, and constantly looking back at his side with a pitiful look. He winked at her and then smiled at Jiang Lianqiu.

"Why does Eriri seem to be getting dumber and dumber?"

"Because Miss Eriri has always been spoiled by everyone." Hood explained softly, "Even though Miss Shiyu is always rude to Eriri, she actually cares about her the most of anyone."

Jiang Lianqiu thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

……Dividing line……

In the indoor rest area of ​​the hall, Yukinoshita Yukino sat by the window. She only looked away from the window after Kasumigaoka and Eriri returned and sat down opposite her.

"Is that Jiang classmate?"

Gently lifting her long hair, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the two people in front of her with strange eyes.

"I thought Yukinoshita-san wouldn't recognize her." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Haruno who was sitting next to Yukino.

"I remember everyone in the class." Yukinoshita Yukino said seriously, "Even though Jiang almost never comes to school. What's more--"

She suddenly smiled.

"Sawamura-san has mentioned Brother Qiu more than once, it's hard for me not to notice."

"W-what!" Eriri curled her toes inside her shoes. "I don't talk about him all day!"

Yukinoshita Yukino let her refuse to admit it, but she became more and more curious.

She is not stupid. She can see that Eriri has devoted her whole heart to her childhood sweetheart, but after spending a long time together, Yukinoshita Yukino also noticed that this second-year senior also has problems.

By observing from a distance through the window just now, Yukinoshita Yukino was almost certain that there was also something wrong with Kasumigaoka Utaha, and there was no way that Eriri was unaware of this.

Plus, she was clearly on a date with Jiang Lianqiu at the moment, that blonde foreign sister who was so beautiful that one couldn't even feel jealous...

Eriri030, don't you mind?

Not only Eriri, but Kasumigaoka Utaha also looked like she was used to it.

She didn't think that these two people were the type to turn a blind eye to certain things just because Jiang Lianqiu had a huge force behind him.

She also didn't think the two would be short of money.

"The look in Yukinoshita-san's eyes tells me that you are curious about the relationship between us and Aki-kun."

"I don't deny my curiosity." Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously straightened her back.

"Huh? Relationship? What relationship?" Eriri clearly didn't understand at all. The little girl's wide eyes were filled with clear stupidity. "Brother Qiu and I are childhood sweethearts. Is it that hard to understand that the shady girl is trying to please Brother Qiu?"

This is extremely difficult to understand no matter how you look at it!

Even Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but scream like a groundhog in her heart at this moment.
