Chapter 24: The Witch's Pupil

The Navy Hospital sent a new infected person, and when the news arrived, it was unfortunate that Nana had just started to eat snacks.

Then the young girl choked.

…………

The food accidentally ran into the trachea, Nana covered her mouth and coughed and coughed earth-shatteringly, and by the way, she called Captain Sentomaru, who was eating snacks with her, startled, and hurriedly came over and reached out to pat her on the back, "Eh~ Nana, slow down-"

It took a long time to catch her breath, and Nana flattened her mouth, "Ize? How could it be him? ”

The reason why the question is so clueless is that the scope of the infection cannot spread to the military academy of the Navy headquarters, and the number of reports collected by the Ministry of Science shows that the infected people are all from the fleet garrison that went to Seshel Island at that time.

And, the incident should come to an end.

Now there are new infected people, and they are unrelated people who have no way to get close to the source of infection.

After thinking about it, Nana and Captain Sentomaru met their eyes, and their expressions became heavy at the same time.

Izawa is the second-year chief of the Naval Academy, and the boy has been sneering at Nana since he entered the school, and the two are about to become enemies... Although she entered the science department ahead of schedule, the little entanglement could not be resolved, and Nana's impression of Izawa was still not very good.

After getting acquainted with Captain Sentomaru, Nana heard that Izawa and Captain Sentomaru are also not very good at dealing with each other, and the details are not very clear, but Nana is not surprised at all, uh~ because she is convinced... Izawa's kind of elite is above the top, and he probably can't get along with anyone.

However, even if there is a bit of a grudge, when she suddenly hears this kind of news, Nana's mood is still a little unsure of how to describe it.

…………

"Izawa has been sent to the secret test site of the Ministry of Science." Because both of the infected people knew each other, Captain Sentomaru's tone brought out some gloom, "The matter of being infected should not be misinformation. ”

After a pause, the young boy stood up and said in a muffled voice, "I'll ask, Nana, what about you?" ”

"Well~ I'll go back to the office too, I believe I'll start getting busy soon~" Nana got up with it, glanced at the still steaming snack jars and boxes with a little regret, and sighed a few times in her heart.

Mom's full of love~ It tastes fragrant, and it was specially cooked for her in the morning... I don't know when this busyness will come, it's a pity that it's cool~

There is also Captain Zhan Taomaru's share~ Mom told her to share it with Captain Zhan Taomaru to eat, so as not to be found out that she was special and then looked sideways.

Although my mother didn't know, her snack time, the general Yellow Ape acquiesced and no one dared to say anything... It's nothing to give to Captain Sentomaru, anyway, the original amount of dim sum, my mother cooked a lot more.

However, Captain Sentomaru was still answering the phone while eating, and today's snack time was interrupted, and Nana, who was becoming more and more melancholy while walking out, quickly decided to divide the dim sum jars ———— start tomorrow and eat their own well!

Mom's point of view is that 'the world eats the biggest', and Nana agrees.

…………

As usual, every day at 10 o'clock in the morning, as soon as the alarm clock in the shape of the little penguin rings, Nana's affairs can also come to an end, and the time is pinched, she has developed a habit since she was a child, and she has a plan and a regular way to do things.

Today is the same, get all the chores done within the estimated time, and then, enjoy a snack on time.

Nana hasn't been so pampered in the past, but recently... To be precise, it should be the general Yellow Ape who ordered her to follow the beginning at all times, and she was often hungry until she was hungry.

Because calories are lost too quickly, (╥╯^╰╥).

The Supreme Commander of the Ministry of Science, General Yellow Ape is a very, very... Nana didn't know how to describe it, in short, it was probably the kind of mother said, in the beautiful name of 'make the best use of things and make the best use of people', but in fact she was simply an exploiter of 'women as men and men as livestock'.

Nana was unhappy when she was transferred from the biology group to General Yellow Ape, and there was everything in the science department, but she also knew that some things were useless to explain, because others didn't need to listen to the parties' arguments, and people would only believe their own opinions.

Debate is an endless loop.

Mom said early on that you lose if you are not 'serious', but if you are 'angry', you will lose.

So, Nana never defended that idiots and stupid people weren't her relatives, and she didn't have to care what irrelevant people thought.

With all those whispers and meaningful scrutiny, Nana quickly learned to ignore them once again.

Transferring to the Supreme Commander's side, perhaps others seem to be honored to be like a brocade from before, but for Nana, these days are simply to make people take off a layer of fatigue.

In addition to all kinds of unexpected and unexpected chores, office documents are piled up as high as a mountain, and countless unexpected situations that people can't resist...

After the transfer of positions, she entered the office of Admiral Yellow Ape and spent some time with the original adjutants of the Supreme Commander and the personal guard troops, and Nana suddenly understood the reason why the Admiral needed many people to be on call at any time.

Because there are so many things!

The Ministry of Science, the Operations Force, and some confidential matters that she is not currently qualified to access are dealt with one by one, and everyone is almost separated/deprived?

…………

Racking her brains to deal with complicated matters, Nana felt that her brain was not enough these days, and there was also training arranged for her.

The training was carried out in secret, and the Yellow Ape General himself took to the field.

At first, she suffered a little, because the supreme commander was ruthless, and on a few occasions Nana even felt that she was really facing death.

But the training effect is very good, even if the Yellow Ape General doesn't say it, Nana herself can feel the increase in strength.

But... A few days later, she called her mother and found her injured.

At that moment, Nana's eyes made Nana scared and ashamed, she desperately wanted to become stronger, and when she really faced the strong man standing at the peak, she realized that she was shamefully weak.

But my mother's eyes... Mom saw her injury, and the moment she looked at her... At the age of sixteen, it was the first time that Nana had seen her mother look of hatred and anger in front of her.

Nana honestly explained the ins and outs, stumbling and begging for forgiveness, and she almost swore that she would not dare to let herself be hurt again.

But Mom said that her swear was useless.

The next day, my mother took two potted plants from home and asked her to take them to the Ministry of Science, and specially pointed out that they should be placed in a conspicuous place.

On the fifth day, the general yellow ape found two potted plants and was very interested in asking.

Then, Nana followed her mother's answer, and of the two potted plants, the one that looked dying was because she carefully pulled the plant up every day in the hope that it would grow quickly, but the effect was counterproductive.

After that... Her secret training was the same, but the intensity was noticeably reduced.

Nana thought that maybe the yellow ape general guessed the dumb riddle that her mother played.

That treacherous man must have known something, otherwise how could he laugh after listening to her words... Uh~ If you want to compare it, it is estimated that it is like the old cat raised by the neighbor next door in the past when he saw a fish, and his eyes glowed green.

Although he admires his supreme commander, Nana also hates him very much.

The man didn't hide it at all, obviously ambitious for her mother, although the commander is a naval admiral, a high position, and very capable, but! Nana still doesn't like it.

To be exact, Nana hates every man who has intentions for his mother.

It's just disgusting.

…………

The little grief of the interruption of the snack time, coupled with the various melancholies that accidentally expanded the association, before Captain Sentomaru opened the door and didn't take a step, Nana saw the moment when she saw the figure outside, and it brewed and fermented... Fried hair.

This is definitely deliberately blocked, right?!

The supreme commander of the Ministry of Science, the general Yellow Ape, also somehow appeared at the right time, and when the young boy habitually turned sideways to give way to the room, the tall and thin man smiled treacherously, "Yay~ It's so fragrant~ Mrs. Anna's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Hearing the chief say "again", Nana reflexively wanted to turn around and hide the snack that she hadn't had time to put away.

As a result, she failed, of course, for the Nth time.

In the corner of her eye, in her cognition, the first hateful yellow ape general's figure shook slightly, and in an instant, a person appeared at the table, with a smiling look, and raised his hand to get it...

Nana burst into tears silently, the box of dim sum was divided into several layers, and the yellow ape general took a single one that she was not willing to eat~

Chubby crystal shrimp dumplings, Nana likes it, because the method is cumbersome, my mother rarely makes it, and today she is hungry for a long time to get what she wants, I already knew...

The yellow ape general, who didn't wash his hands and didn't pay attention to hygiene at all, took the shrimp dumplings and tasted them, and by the way, in Nana's angry gaze, another person who came in later walked over unceremoniously and stretched out his hand as well————

Feed! Nana was furious.

As tall and thin as the hair is fluffy like a cauliflower... Another admiral, with a depressed expression, ate as fast as Admiral Yellow Ape.

…………

In the blink of an eye, a box of crystal shrimp dumplings was swallowed by people.

Seeing that the two shameless men reached out to the surviving food again, and came back to their senses, Nana quickly rushed over, ignoring the fact that the navy code stipulates that the commander must maintain the highest respect, and raised her hand to grab it.

And then... She lost.

The Yellow Ape General's movements seem to be an understatement, but they accurately and effectively block her attacks.

With a flip of his wrist, the man was still able to eat the few remaining seafood handmade rolls.

In the end, Nana snatched back the remaining half of the soup jar, (╥╯^╰╥).

Stuffing it backhand to Captain Sentomaru who came over, she felt her hair stand on end in anger, "Mr. Yellow Ape General!" This is my mom gave, me, of, point, heart! ”

"Yay~ Aren't young girls all nervous?" The man's tone was a little regretful, but his expression was serious, "I don't exercise enough today, and you will gain weight if you have nowhere to consume calories~"

Sure enough, she rolled her eyes, Nana said that her supreme commander was really shameless, and in recent days, she has always appeared at snack time, no matter where she hides, she can find her, and by the way, she snatched some of her mother's love meals, the Supreme Commander of the Ministry of Science... I starved to death in my last life, right?

Originally, I really feared and respected the supreme chief of the Ministry of Science, but after all kinds of food grabbing behaviors during this time, Nana's heart, the image of the strong man of the Yellow Ape General plummeted.

has an intention for her mother, always robbing her mother of the snacks she gave her, this man... Even if you are careful and strategic, the essence is still hateful!

After slandering the supreme commander, he turned his anger on another admiral by the way.

Nana glanced sideways, and then saw the black cauliflower pheasant sitting lazily on the sofa, with an expression of being full of food and drink, "Ahhh

…………

Standing in place and taking a deep breath for a few seconds, Nana closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, her mood calmed down, and her face entered a state of strictness during working hours.

However, she didn't speak, but carefully looked at the expressions of the two admirals, then pursed the corners of her mouth, withdrew a little under her feet, and gave up some of the space to... Captain Sentomaru.

General Yellow Ape and General Green Pheasant, the two of them seem to be unstable in their actions, but... Even if she can't [hear] the voice of the peak powerhouse, Nana can still judge it by experience.

These two generals didn't come for her, let alone dim sum, but Captain Sentomaru.

…………

Sure enough, the two admirals, who were sitting side by side on the sofa, turned their gaze imperceptibly to the young boy.

Nana lowered her eyelashes, waiting for the chief to order her to leave, or to speak for her intentions.

…………

After a short silence, the Yellow Ape General took the lead in speaking, "Ah Tao, did you meet with Yi Ze last night?" ”

"Yes, old man." The young boy replied quickly.

Nana raised her eyes in surprise, only to find that the boy was also secretly looking at her.

As soon as his eyes touched, Captain Sentomaru's face turned red, and he didn't know what to think, but that strangeness quickly disappeared, and Captain Sentomaru's eyebrows sank, and he looked a little unhappy, "It's something, Izawa, they contacted me and made an appointment to meet last night." ”

………… Dividing line ............

"Meet?"

"Yes, at the Southern Star Cross."

…………

While answering his old man's question, Zhan Taomaru carefully paid attention to the reactions of the girls around him, and seeing that her expression was as usual, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then a little disappointed.

Nanxing Cross is a nightclub, a place where the lights are bright and the wine is green, and the sound of dogs and horses, it's not that Zhan Taomaru hasn't been to that kind of place, but if he admits it in front of her, that feeling is different.

Some apprehensive, some ... Tangled, afraid that she would know, and wanted to see her reaction.

Her expression was flat, and he couldn't tell the disappointment.

Nana knew what the Southern Star Cross was, and Sentomaru knew that she was... Not the simple and frivolous girl that others think, she actually knows a lot, Madame Anna teaches her well, she has a soft temperament, but she is not brainless.

It was precisely because he gradually understood that he understood how she... Beautiful.

…………

Then, Zhan Taomaru answered a few more questions from the old man of his family, the time and place, and the people who were present at the time, he had nothing to hide, and it was not a big deal, the people present at the time, except for the flower street woman brought by Izawa, the others said their names, and the old man also knew.

They are all people who grew up together, and they know their roots.

Merely... The reason for the unhappy parting last night, Zhan Taomaru was vague, probably knowing that he and Izawa had not dealt with each other since childhood, and the old man and the pheasant general did not ask.

After answering one by one, Sentomaru saw his old man staring at him for a while, and then quickly glanced at Nana beside him, and the smile in his eyes was a little fuller.

Sentomaru's face turned red, and he was suddenly even more embarrassed.

…………

The old man soon began to talk to the pheasant general in a low voice, and Zhan Taomaru turned his face slightly, and secretly glanced at the girl next to him, and his mind made her trance-like for a while.

He didn't deal with Izawa, but last night it was because of her that it was particularly unpleasant.

In the Navy, there are many children from incomplete families, or with both parents deceased or single-parent families, and in many cases, the children of admirals and sergeants are trained from an early age as a new generation.

They are different from ordinary children like Nana, and they have instructors to teach them from the beginning.

Children~ As soon as the number of people is large, they will be distinguished.

Zhan Taomaru and Izawa, both of them have similar backgrounds, they are both juniors of generals, and their qualifications are almost the same.

I don't know when it started, Sentomaru vaguely remembers that the guide/fire/rope is just a few inconspicuous little things, but over time, he and Izawa are getting more and more... It's like being unconvinced by each other.,Always want to distinguish the highs and lows.。

Later, because of his old man, Sentomaru didn't even go to the military academy and directly entered the Ministry of Science, and the old man's training method 'accidentally' stimulated his domineering spirit in advance, and on the bright side he went further than Izawa.

Izawa, who was left behind, heard that Izawa had publicly announced that he was going to graduate from the chief of the military academy, and based on the general of the pheasant back then, he completely followed the path of a standard naval elite admiral, rather than the leap progress that he received special treatment halfway through.

In this regard, Zhan Taomaru laughed at it, he went to the old man's side, and his vision became wider, of course, he would not be entangled in the little things when he was a child, and he would not care about the grudges between his childhood partners.

When he met Nana, he felt disapprehensive like everyone else, and the attitude towards women in the navy was similar, not to look down on them, but to be sure, women were inferior in terms of physical qualifications.

After years of fighting and killing, countless people are like waves and sands, it is undeniable that women really rarely stand at the top.

But... Nana is indeed different.

He changed his mind and began to value her.

Cherish and respect, because she is worthy.

…………

Izawa, Sentomaru began to get acquainted with Nana, and he heard about her in the military academy, not by her, but by a few friends of his age who were a little more eloquent.

Nana is beautiful, and there are a lot of people who pay attention to girls like her.

Among them is Izawa.

The second-year chief of the naval academy, he has targeted Nana since she entered the school, and Ize's habit has always been like this, he has been domineering since he was a child, and he doesn't care about what he likes and cares about, and he wants to destroy it if he can't get it.

Probably secretly paying attention to Nana's affairs in the Ministry of Science, people close to Izawa knocked on the side of the battle against Momomaru several times...

I simply asked him out last night, and bluntly announced that I wanted him to stay away from her.

Of course, Zhan Momomaru refused to pay attention to it, Izawa's approach was simply excessive, if he was a lover with Nana at the beginning, he would intervene halfway to ignore the love of growing up together, but there was no such thing at all.

Nana was targeted by their cynicism in the military school, and Sentomaru knew that since the first grade, Izawa Akari secretly teased and bullied a girl who didn't grow up in their circle, and that incident was quite rumored.

What's more, Izawa's style, Sentomaru can't look down on it, even if he didn't have any thoughts about Nana at the beginning, he also felt that Izawa was too much.

Targeted and suppressed all the time, creating countless small obstacles to other people's growth paths, and using tricks on a girl, just because the other party didn't respond and never said that he cared, Ize's character was as bad as ever.

The two sides met, sat down and didn't say a few words, drank a glass of wine, and Zhan Taomaru brushed his sleeves away.

He didn't bother to say anything, so Ize felt that he had snatched his hobby, because he knew the inside story and several other acquaintances, and it was not him who persuaded him but Ize.

The rights and wrongs are clear to everyone.

…………

Thinking back to what happened last night, and its ins and outs, in the end, Sentomaru sighed silently.

He had a grudge against Izawa, and when he heard that he had become infected, he was just as worried.

Anyway, they grew up together.

The details of the unknown virus infection, of course Sentomaru understands it in the meantime, and it is because it is clear.

Izawa's situation, at this moment, worries him.

…………

Unconsciously, time passed, and the conversation between the old man and the pheasant general came to an end, and Zhan Taomaru also restrained his thoughts, and the corners of his mouth tightened.

Nana was beside him, as usual, motionless and silent, and he peeked in, and saw that there were some complicated thoughts in her brow, shallow worry and thoughtfulness.

After waiting for a while, Sentomaru heard his old man speak, "yes~ You guys go to Gregor's side———— huh?" He stopped in the middle of his words, and looked in the direction of the door with his eyes staggered.

Sentomaru followed with a slight tilt, and in the next second, the girl beside him suddenly exuded an obvious happy feeling, and did not speak, turned around and ran towards the closed door.

"Nana?" Sentomaru whispered to her.

Then, she opened the door, and the voice of "Mom~" was soft and sweet, with a deep coquettish taste.

Stunned, he then noticed that her figure that was about to rush out paused, and her voice was cold, "Lieutenant General Ghost Spider." ”

…………

After a while, someone appeared.

Walking in front was the lieutenant general ghost spider, Sentomaru was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it, he turned sideways and let the man into the room, and Nana plunged into the arms of the lady who was a little behind.

"Mom~" softly and greasy screamed, a rare cowardice.

The lady smiled calmly, habitually raised her hand to hug her, scratched her back, and refused to even give her eyes to others, and only saw her appearance wholeheartedly for a while, "What's wrong with you, baby?" ”

He stood there and waited for a long time, and the lady raised her gaze, "Good day." ”

"Good day, aunt... Uh~" He responded habitually, and was seen by the lady's transparent blue eyes, paused, and changed his words embarrassedly, "Mrs. Anna." ”

Nana was buried in the lady's arms, and refused to look up for a long time, until her mother saw a room full of people staring at them before she motioned for her to get up.

Sentomaru glanced at Nana, who was unhappy, and carefully moved over and pulled her, telling her to pay attention to a few generals.

After that, the old man of his family opened his mouth and asked Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, "yes~ Mrs. Anna and you come here?" ”

"Ah~ The one who attacked Izawa has been found." Lieutenant General Ghost Spider's answer was very straightforward, and there was a bit of murder in his voice, "I'll go to Stoloberry to change people." ”

After a pause for a few seconds, his voice slowed down, and then he continued, "By the way, I'll bring her here." ”
