Chapter 36: Diary of a Little Soldier

At dinner, the soldiers of Siwa once again meet their protective target, Mrs. Anna, and finally get up close and personal with the gentle lady to share a table for dinner, and the soldiers say that they must be decisively grateful to Major Ronald for this honor.

When cleaning the back deck in the afternoon, because Mrs. Anna, who had disappeared for five days, suddenly appeared, the Siwa soldiers were very excited, and one did not pay attention... I've been caught lazy~

The seasick lady was hurriedly escorted back to the cabin by Captain Sentomaru, and as soon as the Siwa soldiers turned around, they saw the real . Temporary sampling. Major Ronald stood not far away, staring at him with a blank face, and by the way, a corner of the snow-white general's cloak flashed in some less noticeable corner behind him.

At a glance, the well-eyed Siwa soldier was unfortunate enough to see clearly from the epaulettes of his cloak that only showed his silhouette where the faceless admiral was.

Supreme Commander of the USS Rose, Admiral Akainu Sakasky.

So, this situation is about... Mrs. Anna went to the back deck to bask in the sun, and Mr. Sakasky took time out of his busy schedule to have a 'chance encounter'? Didn't work out?

In their spare time, the Xiwa soldiers, who also read bloody Tianlei novels, quickly made up a series in their brains, what 'Domineering General: Monopoly of Wife', what 'Ruthless Navy: Gentle Awakening', and so on... By the way, I also understood in seconds what Major Ronald's black face came from.

He was too attentive just now, and he accidentally became a stumbling block in Admiral Akainu's pursuit of love, right?

A few minutes later, the Siwa soldiers, standing upright, confirmed his idea: before the week's cleaning of the aft deck was finished, Major Ronald had an additional order against the lively green tendons on his forehead.

All the toilets in the soldier's cabin were immediately cleared for another seven days.

Major Ronald, who worships Admiral Akainu, witnesses his idol leaving in disappointment, and his anger at the initiator quickly ferments into corporal punishment for personal vendettas.

Soldiers who have suffered workplace violence again have expressed their heartache.

_(:зゝ∠)_

…………

The diligent Siwa soldiers, in the next period of time, desire/immortal/desire/death, are simply tired and unloved.

And then ah~ The soldier wearing a mask on a mission finally completed today's workload, went to take a shower again, and almost missed the meal time.

Hurried to the restaurant, a glance at the crowd of people, hungry eyes glowing Xiwa soldiers lined up to retrieve the meal, looking for a long time but could not find a vacant seat, had to touch the only empty place left at the table, like sitting on pins and needles to eat.

How so?

The reason is that it drops like this~

There was an unwritten rule during the voyage of the fleet of the Navy Headquarters, probably in order to establish a concept of equality and reduce the class mentality brought about by the reduction of military ranks, the generals and non-commissioned officers had at least one meal time a day with the soldiers, and in the public cafeteria, everyone sat casually, ate the same food, there was no distinction between rank and rank, and occasionally they could whisper a laugh.

It is impossible to verify exactly when this unwritten rule appeared, but it is strange that it has always been maintained and gradually become a tradition.

The Rose was no exception, even though the Supreme Commander was Admiral, and at the beginning of the voyage, Admiral Sakasky would be present in the public dining room at a fixed dinner time every day.

It's the same today.

Then, today is very different for the Siwa soldier, he is late~ When he came, the restaurant was full except for Mr. Sakasky's table~

Because no soldier or general dares to eat at the same table as the general Akainu! Will you not be able to swallow it?

I didn't notice it for a while, but I only had time to see Mrs. Anna, and when I came over to see the true face of the person at the same table, Lushan, and didn't dare to turn around and leave, lest I be too deliberate, the Xiwa soldier said that his friends didn't leave a place for him, which was really sad!

It was pleasant to sit next to Mrs. Anna, but Major Ronald, who happened to be facing him at the next table, had a gloomy face that was even more ugly than in the afternoon, and, on the side, a table of people projecting eye knives from the combat units of the Ministry of Science... (╥╯^╰╥)。

In addition, General Sakasky, who was opposite Mrs. Anna, although it was still a very strict meal, but... The soldier was keenly aware that the strange air pressure wafting from a certain direction from his sitting down was really a bit creepy.

Burying his head low almost to the height of his face inserting/entering the meal, the Siwa soldiers waved their spoons hard, their cheeks bulging ~ chew ~ chew ~ chew ~ at the speed of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, trying to solve the dinner as much as possible, lest ...

Following the 'stumbling block' in the afternoon, he was promoted to the sand in the eyes of Admiral Akainu.

The Siwa soldiers don't want Major Ronald to have another additional order, uh~ although at the moment, he has already determined that he must continue the tragedy~

Seasick and dizzy for five days, I finally got used to some of Mrs. Anna's appearance in public... Observing her up close, it is almost a good opportunity to familiarize herself, these are the plans of the soldiers of Xiwa, after all, they can increase the smoothness of completing the task~

But... General Sakasky's eyes are really not something like him that a nobody can afford to withstand~

…………

While tearing down his heart, the Siwa soldiers who stuffed their cheeks like a hamster, eager to fill their stomachs and flee... Soon he was unfortunately choked.

The soldier, who said that it was too rude to spit on the spot, threw away the spoon, rolled out his eyes and began to beat his chest.

It's uncomfortable... Did the Rose cooking class mix Hailou Stone into rice to cook rice today? Choked him to death.

Nine deaths swallowed the food in his throat that was like a stone, and the Xiwa soldiers who felt that they had escaped death had tears in their eyes... received a water cup handed over to him, and patted it lightly and heavily.

"Drink some water first, take your time—"

The gentle voice, like the force she gently patted his back, made people feel unprovoked... Safe.

Blinking, the soldier looked at the lady beside him in a daze, she also looked at him, the water cup in her hand was handed to his mouth, and there was a hint of concern between her eyebrows, "Eat too fast, what a child." ”

"Ahh Hey? Thank you~" The soldier stumbled back, and then took the water cup in a panic, even he didn't know why his ears were suddenly so hot.

Xu is the eyes that stay on him at this moment are too gentle, right? Lady Anna looked at him with a faint smile hidden in her eyes, as if she was missing something, distant and quiet.

When she said he was a child, her tone was incredibly gentle.

Holding the cup in both hands, he took a small sip of warm water, and averted his gaze crampedly, the soldier thought... He's probably... I can understand Mr. Polusalino's feelings... This lady... When I was concentrating on people, my eyes were as deep as swamps.

A little doting, a little care, a little worry...

It's like being pampered when you're very young.

The woman whose face was blurred in his memory would hold him and coax him in a low voice... Will kiss him on the forehead and whisper to soothe...

In Marlingford, hidden near Lady Anna, he had seen her treat her children in a way that seemed to him at the moment, when he thought that the mother was too doting on her children... I don't want to, when he experienced it himself, he actually...

The moment the Siwa soldier lowered his eyes, his eyes slipped a little different, a woman like Madame Anna is dangerous, for men, especially a man like them who has already lost a qiē, she is seductive/seductive.

…………

After a while, the soldier who put down the glass of water perfectly concealed his emotions, with an invincible baby face, his eyes bent into two arcs with a smile, of course, he did not try to continue the conversation with the lady beside him, but obediently put the cup on the table, and then lowered his head.

Picking up the spoon again, eating much slower this time.

I chewed more than 20 times in one bite of rice before swallowing it, well~ Like eating at home when I was a child, I obediently didn't let myself choke, listened to the words of adults and tried to eat healthily.

The lady beside him did not continue to pay attention to him, and the soldier looked out of the corner of his eye, and he saw that she did not seem to have a good appetite, and the meat on the plate was barely moved, but the bowl of assorted soup was half drunk.

The Siwa soldiers, who were immersed in eating, carefully concealed their intention to push their bowl of untouched soup over, because... The air pressure on General Sakasky's body opposite Mrs. Anna... It's hard to describe.

After taking a moment to wipe out the food, the relieved soldier raised his head and took out 100,000 courage to turn his head and look around:

There was a very strange atmosphere in the communal dining room, and everyone sitting nearby looked at the Siwa soldiers with a vague 'you're dead' looks.

The soldiers even saw the compassionate look of 'you go on the road with peace of mind~' on the faces of the little friends sitting in the crowd, ┭┮_┭┮.

The Siwa soldiers, who had been unlucky all the way since the day they boarded the ship and set sail, silently choked a few times, decisively withdrew their gaze, and turned their heads to meet the gaze of Admiral Akainu, who seemed to be looking up at him without a trace.

Trembling, the soldier said that Mr. Sakasky's gaze was really... Thinking about it is very scary~

And then, no more.

The staff of the restaurant began to distribute fruit in mobile food trucks, and in order to avoid scurvy during the voyage, a regular daily intake of vitamins was required, and a ration of fruit was provided after meals every day on the warship.

The wheels grunted in an orderly manner through the aisles of the dining table, and stacks of cut fruit platters were placed on the table, and in a short time, a porcelain plate was placed in the center of the table where the soldiers of Siwa were, and the crystal pulp was light and sweet, diffusing in the air.

In addition, in addition to the cut fruit, I somehow added a small extra plate... Pickled plums.

The soldier sitting on his lap quietly raised his eyes to look at General Sakasky opposite, and then Mr. General reached out and casually pushed the plate of plums into the center of the table.

Shoved in front of Lady Anna, to be exact.

…………

The porcelain white plate is lined with deep red plums with a little soup, which looks delicious.

In the corner of the eyes of the Xiwa soldiers, the lady beside her didn't have the slightest intention of moving, she also finished eating the food on the plate, and rested her hands on the edge of the table, looking...

Stared at the fruit platter on the table, then at the pickled plums...

After a long time, the Siwa soldiers got up, smiled apologetically, bent their waists and carefully left their positions, caught up with the food truck that had left after the fruit was distributed, stopped the restaurant staff, and after some hard work, they finally returned as they wished.

Sitting back in his seat, the soldier handed the green orange out of his hand, "That—" and said with a pretended ignorant smile as he presented it to the lady beside him, "Thank you." ”

The lady beside him was stunned, her expression was gentle, but she also reached out to take what he called a 'thank you gift'.

Waiting for the palm to be slightly empty, the Siwa soldier smiled and narrowed his eyes, by the way... Pretended not to notice the hidden murderous gaze of Mr. General on the other side.

He really didn't mean to! The Siwa soldier swore that he had absolutely no intention of arguing with Admiral Akainu, but... According to his observations while lurking, he subconsciously did things without his brain.

Coaxed from the restaurant staff to use as a spare uncut green orange, lest the vitamin intake during the voyage be insufficient, and the lady's body would be further degraded.

Madame Anna had a very strange habit of never eating cut fruit unless she did it herself.

…………

General Sakasky snorted imperceptibly, and the Siwa soldiers trembled heavily, and then, Madame Anna, who was slowly peeling oranges, suddenly spoke, and said softly, "I'm sorry, my personal habit..."

"How so?" She lowered her eyebrows, did not look at the others, and her voice was low, as if she was talking to herself, "I had a voyage in my early years, and during my long trip, I happened to eat..."

Her slender fingertips peeled off the peel of the green orange and carefully cut out a petal of flesh, and then she raised her eyes and smiled gently, "After that, I can only be very careful to avoid any more accidents." ”

"Devil Fruit." Admiral Akainu continued in a faint voice, his expression was moody, "So, in the past few days, I have refused to touch the food and fruits that have been delivered to your room." ”

"Yes, Devil Fruit." She sighed softly, "After that, I didn't dare to eat fruit at all unless I confirmed it personally." ”

Xu was because she opened her mouth to explain, and the dangerous aura on the Admiral Akainu disappeared a little, and the soldiers of Siwa noticed that the man on the other side had taken the time to divide his attention to him was no longer so much... It's chilling.

Uh~ But it's still scary.

After listening to Mrs. Anna's explanation, General Sakarsky no longer tried to make his bones disappear directly with the eyes of the 3,000-degree heat, but...

Admiral Akainu's gaze successfully changed at this moment, escalating from a murderous precursor to a variety of hidden hostile looks.

Jealous men are actually more terrible, really.

The soldier sat upright with a bitter face, and finally survived the terrifying glance of Mr. General, and with the tragic mentality that he would not see the sun tomorrow soon, the soldier stretched out his hand and decided to have the last fruit.

Picked up a piece of pulp, opened his mouth with tears streaming down his face, and bit ————

Not?!

Taste bud... Such an indescribably terrible taste... Mom, I saw the kingdom of heaven~

The soldier who was on his back with fruit in his hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and a boundless sea of flowers appeared in front of him, and the gate of heaven was close at hand.

It's unpalatable!

Good... Terrible! There is such a terrible taste of fruit in this world. (╯_╰)

…………

The back of his head hit the ground, and the Siwa soldiers found themselves seeing strange sights in their ears full of exclamations.

Around a qiē without warning becomes huge? He even saw the legs of the chair magnified many times?

Belch?!

After a short period of sluggishness, the Siwa soldier who was lying on his back had a surprised face reflected in his eyes.

It was Lady Anna, who turned sideways and looked down at him, her eyes full of horror.

After a while, she got up, she bent over, she held out her hand, and she... Hold him in the palm of your hand?

The dizzy Siwa soldier looked around and instinctively reached out... Huh?! The movement instantly stiffened, staring at the outstretched hand with wide eyes, and his mind was stuck for a while.

He found himself resting lightly on the table, and a lot of chaos and noise came and went, and in the midst of it, Lady Anna's voice seemed to be... Clearly, she said, "Oh my God! It's actually a Devil Fruit?! ”
