"In view of the outstanding achievements of the Governor of the Governor No. 999 during his tenure in office, Admiral Sun Wen is hereby appointed to bring the Captain to the Yokosuka Governor's Palace within five days after receiving this commendation to report to the Supreme Council. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "It's time to come, although it's not as vigorous as imagined, but this warrant that must be replied to confirm also means that Sun Wen has been pushed to the forefront.

It is inevitable to go back, but the loopholes in this warrant can still be exploited, Sun Wen glanced at Odin who was making fish soup beside him, "Forget it, let's wait and ask about the idea of blowing snow." ”

At lunchtime, Blowing Snow, who had finished his daily patrol tasks, appeared on time, and Sun Wen helped Odin put the unnamed fish head soup on the table while probing the blowing snow: "Blowing snow? Do you want to go back to Yokosuka? ”

"Is the Commander going back?" Chu Xue didn't directly answer whether she wanted to or didn't want to, but asked Sun Wen instead.

Sun Wen nodded: "I'm going back to report on my work, and the report didn't say whether to bring the ship's mother or not, but I'm going to take Odin over, which can be regarded as an eye-opener." ”

"Wherever the commander goes, I'll go!"

Looking at the blowing snow, he knew the other party's thoughts, and Sun Wen had no choice but to stop worrying too much, but pushed the boat down the river and said: "When the time comes, you have to be optimistic about Odin, Yokosuka is not better than here, if she falls asleep standing on the road, it will be troublesome to find!" ”

Blowing Snow glanced at Odin, who was serving the fish head in the soup that looked very scary in Sun Wen's bowl, and asked with concern, "What about Odin's problem?" The commander does not have the authority to build, there will be no trouble. ”

"Oh, thank you for this, the same type of ship Yamashiro of Fuso's sister!" Sun Wen took the soup bowl tremblingly and took a sip, the taste was unexpectedly good, "I still have the authority to salvage in the open sea, and Odin got the documents when he entered Guam." ”

"So......" Blowing Snow looked at Sun Wen strangely, "Commander, you went to take Odin this time specifically to dry the boat?" This word was said by Sun Wen, and she didn't expect that one day this word would be used to describe her admiral. The little girl is becoming more and more cheerful, and the energetic character with silly energy is gradually reflected. Now he even dares to say such a thing as drying the boat in front of Sun Wen.

Sun Wen could only smile bitterly at the words of blowing snow, he couldn't say that the Governor's Mansion had to bring him with his mother, and he was afraid that Blowing Snow would stay in Yokosuka Port at night and have a lot of dreams, right?

"Blowing snow, isn't it enough to have you on the boat?" He teased Blowing Snow and handed the bowl to Odin to add another bowl of soup, but he didn't know why Odin ignored him, so he had to get up and look at Blowing Snow who was stunned while serving the soup and said, "I'll book tickets in the afternoon, Blowing Snow, don't you particularly like trains, this time we will also take the train back." ”

"Trains?" Fukiyuki remembered the cherry blossom trees that I had passed by the last time I passed by the Izu Peninsula by train, and now it's still a little time before the actual bloom, but it's time to be beautiful, right? "That's great!" Leaving the ship's outfit and mission, the ship's girls also have their own preferences, their own pursuits, and their own visions. Blowing Xue glanced at Sun Wen, who was hesitating whether to eat fish heads, and repeated sincerely: "Hey! That's great! ”

……

The train in country R is still the kind of steam train in Sun Wen's impression, with a long locomotive and a few coal cars, two or three workers can stagger far, far away. Without the speed of bullet trains, the trains here are looking for comfort and experience.

On the leather seat, Odin was leaning against the window and napping, and the occasional bumps did not affect her sleep in the slightest, but made people feel more restful and sleepy. Sun Wen yawned, looked at Odin beside him, and then turned his head to look at the blowing snow that was looking out the window.

"Blowing snow, what are you looking at?"

"Sakura." Blowing Snow didn't look at Sun Wen, but stared at the direction of the train, "As the commander said last time, the cherry blossoms in Izu are almost blooming now, right?" ”

Sun Wen remembered that he told Blowing Snow when he went to the Town Guard Mansion to take office, and at that time, in order to make the trip less boring, in order to chat with Blowing Snow for a while, he casually pointed to a forest and said that it was cherry blossoms. In fact, he had only heard that Izu, a rural area, was famous for its cherry blossoms, but he had never been there. It's just that I didn't expect this little girl to remember it after so long.

Sun Wen nodded, the serious little girl at that time had become the happy appearance she is now, and she was a little interested when she thought about it. "Stay around here for one night today, right?" Although he didn't need to spend the night in Izu, which is so close to Yokosuka, Sun Wen also wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was still early and take the blowing snow with them to experience the cherry blossoms of Izu.

It was only when Sun Wen changed his ticket with the purser and got off the train that he discovered that Izu was not as famous and elegant as he had once seen in travel magazines. There is only one lonely platform at the station, which is used as a crew room and a waiting room, and there are no advertisements or publications for "Izu's Dancing Girls" that can be seen everywhere, but there are many boxes with mountain fresh patterns stacked on the platform.

Thinking about it, there is no love story of that era, it's just that the remote place of Izu really can't find tourism, Sun Wenzheng was a little disappointed, but Fuxue pulled Odin and happily pointed to a few trees with small pink buds outside the platform and said, "Commander! Look at cherry blossoms! ”

It was indeed cherry blossoms, but it wasn't pretty, "Do you like cherry blossoms very much?" ”

"Yes, I've always heard from the Yamato-sama of the Governor's Mansion about cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto. Under the cherry blossom trees, tea was poured for the admiral, and interesting stories were discussed, and occasionally some elegant vassal would intervene and sing haiku or waka songs to them. Fukiyuki said and turned his gaze from the cherry blossom trees in the distance to Sun Wen, "But the Governor's Mansion doesn't allow us to go inland without the Governor, and there is nothing to see cherry blossoms in Yokosuka, so I am especially looking forward to the sea of cherry blossom trees." ”

Sun Wen looked at the blowing snow and was silent for a while, he didn't know the Yamato and her admiral, but it was a very happy thing to think that the ship's mother and her admiral would meet, right? Thinking that he held Odin in one hand and blowing snow in the other: "Let's go!" Let's go find a hotel first. ”

……

Perhaps due to the fact that the hot springs are not well developed, the hot springs are not run by anyone, and the service attitude of the small inn near the hot springs is also very good, the proprietress is a mother-in-law in her sixties, her sons are not in the town, but run a small inn with her daughter and two daughters-in-law. Sun Wen only said that he took his nieces out to see the cherry blossoms, and the mother-in-law enthusiastically introduced several places that the locals often visited, and even temporarily lent the kimonos of her two little granddaughters of about the same size to Sun Wen when Sun Wen asked where to borrow kimonos.

Although the mother-in-law was enthusiastic, Sun Wen still did not say that Blowing Snow and Odin were the things of the ship's mother, even in such an inland town on the peninsula, the ship's mother could still be regarded as an outlier by the villagers. So more is better than less!

After soaking in the hot springs separately from the blowing snow for a while, Sun Wen, who had a big appetite, bought a few wasabi sticks with the proprietress, a large bag of wooden fish flowers and a few hot rice and returned to the room.

He booked a three-bedroom suite, the tatami living room with a window sill in the middle connected the two rooms and the corridor, and put the food boxes and those materials on the low table......

Grinding wasabi is a very careful thing, grinding it is crushed and maintains a grainy feeling to look delicious, so Sun Wen dealt with the wasabi in his hand wholeheartedly, but he didn't notice when there was a blowing snow wearing a kimono around him.

"Commander, what are you doing?"

Sun Wen looked up and saw the sleeves of the blowing snow kimono, which was a black kimono with cherry blossom decoration and peacock pattern, which was not too luxurious and elegant, and looked up at her simple coiled hair, but Sun Wen suddenly thought that the feather hairpin with broken flowers should be very beautiful. First, he instinctively praised the blowing snow a few times, and then Sun Wen remembered to answer her words: "This is making food." Since you're in Izu, it's time to try the wasabi rice bowl. ”

"Oh? Can I give it a try? After seeing Sun Wen nodding, Blowing Snow lifted her sleeves, eagerly took another wasabi and abrasives on the table, and followed his example, vigorously drawing and grinding.

I have to say that the strength of the ship girl is really outstanding, and after a while, a good wasabi was destroyed by blowing snow.

"It's not like this, you have to use your wrist to use fine force to grind out the sauce as soon as possible and take away the graininess." Sun Wen said and took another wasabi and handed it to Blowing Snow, then sat down until she reached out and held her hand and grinded it carefully, "By the way, what about Odin?" ”

"She said she wasn't interested in shopping, so she went to bed first." Blowing Snow stared at the wasabi in his hand, feeling Sun Wen's delicate power, this experience was very magical, "It's only noon." I actually fell asleep after eating the steel bar. ”

"There's no way, whatever Odin says is just a child after all." Sun Wen let go of Blowing Snow's hand and filled two bowls of rice, then asked Blowing Snow to follow his own example, sprinkled with wooden fish flowers and poured wasabi sauce, and finally poured soy sauce on it, "Come on!" Give it a taste! ”

"Wow, that's a shame!" Sure enough, Fuxue still didn't get used to the pungent smell, and Sun Wen covered her with another layer of wooden fish flowers and poured a lot of soy sauce before she gradually got used to the taste.

"Blowing snow." Putting down the empty bowl, Sun Wen looked at the blowing snow who had already started to eat wooden fish flowers on the side, and said funny, "Don't eat it, go out for a walk!" "After all, cherry blossoms are the theme.

"Hmm" hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, and Fuyuki smiled brightly, "Let's go, Commander." ”

……

The cherry blossoms that have not bloomed are actually very good, and even the trunks of the trees are not covered enough, let alone make it a sea of flowers. But Sun Wen was very happy, and took Fuyuki to pray in the empty shrine, watching her wear a kimono with her hands folded. It was a more beautiful sight than a sea of flowers.

On the way back, Sun Wen led the blowing snow, and he suddenly felt that the meaning of travel was not where to go. It's about following the right people, walking on the road of not knowing whether it's right or not.

Returned to the hotel, cleaned up the pieces left by Odin who had stolen all the wooden fish flowers after waking up halfway, Sun Wen took advantage of the two little girls who had not come back from the hot springs, and leaned on the windowsill in a bathrobe. The day's travel did not bring him the slightest tiredness, but it left him full of thoughts:

"Perhaps, coming here and meeting them is my real trip, right?"
