05 The promise of a goodbye
"It's a little sad."
As he spoke, Locatt threw some papers on the table, the brand-new briefcase desk and the more spacious cabin space, and the red carpet and the tea set that was not expensive in a corner of the room, made the cabin made of steel look more life-like, and the bed was replaced by a normal bed, and the just right space was also arranged in an orderly manner.
Although the living environment has become a little more spacious, this does not make Locat's face much better.
In fact, as far as Locatel himself is concerned, the problem is very large.
If you want to get straight to the port of Ominato directly from Yokosuka, one of the biggest problems that Lokat has forgotten is that.
That's the issue of battery life.
Theoretically, King Kong is not a problem at all, but considering the endurance of the destroyer, Locatt did apply to the military department and his superiors for the supply ship, but the opinion was rejected with the opinion that "a large-scale operation is imminent, and I cannot answer your request for the time being."
Even if you want to negotiate with Hirohiko or Sakurako to borrow a supply ship, those two were also on a mission last night, and they have already left the port, and they are probably fighting with their own ships on the front line of the fight against those deep-sea monkfish.
"Hmm...... It's really troublesome. ”
Sighing, Locatel finally got up from his chair, walked to the corner, skillfully brewed a pot of warm black tea, and then sat back at his desk again.
King Kong is still in the final stages of debugging, and is preparing for the imminent voyage, due to the long range, so the supplies and ammunition that need to be assembled are also seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
"Admiral, I'm back, ah, did you soak it for me, lucky~"
King Kong, who had lifted the hull model, pushed the door in, sniffed a little, and then turned his gaze to the still steaming teapot.
"If you think so, that's fine."
Locatel smiled lightly and sipped his tea slowly.
In fact, Locatel doesn't like tea too much, but unexpectedly childishly likes some juice drinks, or some sweet wines, but after coming to this world, he had to follow the local customs, although it was mainly to cater to King Kong's strong recommendation, before he began to accept black tea, but matcha is a more 'special' drink, Locatel still maintained a refusal attitude.
"I'm not welcome the tea made by the Admiral."
As if he was dealing with some precious treasure, King Kong's expression became extremely serious, and when combined with the witch costume on his body, he really felt a little bit like a witch.
"Hmm...... It tastes a little strange. ”
King Kong shook his head and said, putting the teacup aside.
"What does it smell like? Why didn't I taste it? ”
Lokat blinked curiously, then picked up his share of the teacup and took a silent sip.
Apart from the aroma of the tea leaves and the taste of the tea leaves, there is no more strange taste.
"Hmm...... There is no special taste, and the tea leaves were also placed in the deacon room yesterday, so I just took them and brewed them. ”
King Kong put down his share of the teacup, then nodded deeply.
"Uh-huh...... I tasted the bitterness, the Admiral must be worried about something. ”
In fact, it is not the taste of the tea leaves, but it is a person who can easily see that Locat's expression looks very unnatural, as if he has something on his mind.
In fact, although Lokat had a consideration in his heart, he still couldn't make up his mind, and Locat, who was going to relax, opened his mouth and asked King Kong.
"Oh...... So, Vajra, do you know what I'm bothered about? ”
King Kong made a Sherlock Holmes-style chin rubbing motion, then pondered for a while, drank his own share of black tea, and after a serious moment of deliberation, he finally opened his cherry mouth.
"I don't know, King Kong, give up thinking about it!"
The atmosphere froze for about thirty seconds, and Loka turned her head away and began to laugh with all her might.
"The black tea is cold......
Locat, who was holding back his laughter and internal injuries, even felt some pain in his abdominal muscles, and the gloom on his face was swept away.
"Forget it, King Kong, go fix the ditch and call those children over, I have something I want to ask them about their next move."
Locatt thought for a moment, drank the black tea, which was already slightly cold, and twisted his eyebrows again.
"Wow wow......"
With that, Locat's feet got up again, and in order to entertain the young ladies who accompanied him, he made a new pot of hot tea, but after a while, accompanied by a noisy noise, the cabin of Locat's cabin was lively.
"The sixth expulsion team, all hands are here!"
As if mimicking the appearance of the basic O special forces team in some kind of anime, the four petite girls pose as if they don't understand it but make others feel very powerful.
As the 'parent' of these children, Lokat can only cover his face silently.
"So...... Let's get straight to the point, ladies, yes. ”
Lokat briefly explained his idea, that is, to temporarily divide the team into two teams, the first team will use the route of Xiao Raiden to circumnavigate Sasebo Kure Port and finally reach Omato, while the other route will use Kongo as the flagship, bring Hibiki, and move according to the original plan, and the supply in the middle will be temporarily replenished by Kongo.
"Then let the whole vote, if there is no other opinion."
As expected, all members voted unanimously and no one objected.
"Although it was expected, I was still moved by the fact that you trusted me so much."
Lockat looked at the girls' sincere smiles and had to laugh together.
"Electricity has to take good care of Lei and Xiao, only your character I am more assured, Lei's words better cause less trouble, I hope you can reach the convergence safely, if you encounter any trouble, even if you don't have to break through forcibly, it's no problem, war is not a joke."
Like his mother told him, Locatt told these girls in a rambling way, simply forgetting that he was actually more vulnerable than these girls.
"You must arrive at Ominato Port safely, it's an agreement, understand?"
Lockat looked at all the girls present, and his expression became much more serious.
But it was pointed out by the girls led by King Kong as the most unsuitable for Lokat expression, perhaps, in their opinion, only Lokat's smile is the expression that matches him the most.
