Chapter 3 Evening primrose

The plan to add rat medicine to the drip didn't work, because last night's appearance of the little sumo wrestler Captain Sentomaru lowered my hatred for Lieutenant General Oni Spider below the horizontal line.

Sending off the guests, Nana rarely spoiled at night to sleep with me, when the two of them got into the bed, she chattered in my ear, talking about things that could be revealed in the school and the science department.

When she was tired of talking, she fell asleep peacefully, but I kept my eyes open until dawn, and I felt distressed all night.

Nana had no friends at school, and because she was a girl, she was looked at and treated differently among the navy elite who were almost all men.

The girl's physique is worse than that of the boy, not to mention that Nana's strength is not physical fitness, and these small shortcomings that can be ignored have become useless and dragging down in the eyes of those who only like to talk with their fists.

I was discriminated against by a bastard in school, and it wasn't very smooth at the beginning of the science department, and her outstanding talent in biology made the seniors squeeze out intentionally or unintentionally, and make it difficult for her at every turn...

Compared with muscular brainless men, otaku who engage in research are more willing to use cold violence.

And the captain of Sentomaru always squinted at Nana from the corner of his eye, and then there was an accident during the internship, and his attitude began to change, as for what happened, Nana kept silent, and I didn't ask.

Anyway, it's really the little sumo wrestlers who bully my kids.

I decided not to see him for this reason, and even if he stayed after dinner to fix the clogged sewer pipes in my house, it would not be enough to extinguish the prejudice that had sprouted in my heart.

…………

I got up early in the morning, the two of us had dinner, Nana went out as usual, and I packed up my house and locked the door to go to work later.

Before I got into the hospital, I heard the good news from the head nurse, and the ghost spider lieutenant general was discharged~ He left before dawn in the morning, and his adjutant just went through the formalities and sorted out the luggage.

Just... It's a great pleasure.

With the dark circles under my eyes that I hadn't slept last night, I listened to the whispers of the nurses and girls with a blank face, and by the way, I also asked the head nurse to pat me on the shoulder, affirming my excellent performance in my work.

It is said that it was the evaluation of Lieutenant General Oni Spider, 'She is a sensible woman'.

Personally, I said that TM is nonsense, as soon as I got married (over) a nurse with children, my job is not to take care of patients, do I still have to climb into bed?

It's enough for the guests who have come to visit these days to look at each other with meaningful eyes, don't think I don't know what the Lieutenant General is thinking, he thinks I'm definitely going to find a chance to seduce him, right?

Now that I have recovered and been discharged from the hospital, I have not done anything, so I am very relieved?

Having said that, in the eyes of those senior generals, what kind of women are serving in the Navy Headquarters?!

It's a pity that I didn't find a chance to add rat medicine.

…………

The patients who caused the shock in the hospital left, and the rest of the work did not change much, and I have been familiar with the road over the years, even if I stayed up late last night and was not in good spirits.

Soon the time came to get off work, the head nurse suddenly arrested me, handed me a note with the name of the store, and brought up the old things with a kind look, she persuaded me to go on a blind date, and mentioned it last month, it was a colleague of her husband, and now he happened to be stationed and returned to rest.

In fact, I have encountered this kind of blind date a few times, and the ratio of men and women on Malinfud's side is so imbalanced, and the neighbors around me are enthusiastic about pulling the line, but every time it is gone.

Nana was afraid that I would remarry and leave her, so I didn't think about looking for it again, and sometimes I had to go over because of the face of the introducer, and several times I changed my mind because I was not enthusiastic.

As I said before, the world is very chaotic, and the average life expectancy is really not long, which also leads to the importance of efficiency in everything you do.

As long as I don't hate it too much, I often go to the hotel, and such a leap forward is too exciting for someone like me who was born in the sky/dynasty.

And after the refusal, the man will change the target, probably because he is not willing to waste time? On the battlefield to fight the line of life and death, they don't have too much to think about women.

Unfortunately, I hate chauvinism and the objectification of women.

So~ For more than ten years, I won the top position in the hospital's 'blind date failure' list.

Recent

Of course, it's not a matter of sexual orientation, it's a disagreement between the three views.

I have always felt that it is a tragedy for a woman's confidence to be maintained by a man, but many men here think that in addition to giving birth to children, women are probably left with the role of bed to relieve their body and mind.

How to fall in love if the three views do not match? I'd rather be single.

But... I refused for a month, and today I am really short of words, and the head nurse persuaded me to go and see it, and she said that it would be better to make ordinary friends if we had a chat.

The head nurse is a warm-hearted person, and there is another name for the matchmaker in the hospital, and it is said that there is no pair of unsuccessful matchmakers she pulls, and no pair is not happy uh~ She is my top boss, no matter what, it offends people if she refuses too completely, doesn't she?

It's not good to offend the boss, I can only take her kindness, plus I understand my own situation, I will definitely not succeed anyway, just take a look~

After getting off work and changing into my work clothes, I set off according to the address on the note, this morning Nana said that she had a big real yàn to follow up recently, and she would not come back every night, and she would sleep in the dormitory of the Ministry of Science for safety.

As a result, it is better for a person to occasionally be too lazy to cook and eat out.

…………

According to the address, the head nurse gave a note indicating that the meeting place was located in a restaurant in the commercial area of the town, I was a little surprised, speaking of which, the choice of the blind date location is also a kind of expression.

The man's attention to this blind date and his quality of life.

However, it is really rare to be so advanced.

The contracted restaurants are among the best in the entire island of Malinford, and of course, this is not a nightclub street, but an ordinary leisure venue.

The head nurse said that the other party had seen my photo, um~ As for why my photo can be seen by others for no reason, this is a small detail that does not need to be investigated, just think that my boss is too enthusiastic.

After arriving at the location, before I could ask the waiter in the store for directions, I asked two men in navy uniforms to politely lead me inside.

One was a lieutenant in a cloak and epaulette, and the other was a younger soldier, and the two were strict and amiable, which was simply polite and thoughtful.

Not long after, the three of them walked into the restaurant.

Turning around a hanging flower arch, you can see a completely different style from the lobby decoration, with a hollow-shaped wooden corridor enclosing the courtyard, and a small and exquisite garden outside the vermilion railing.

The shallow water stretches down to the bottom of the verandah, and a few beautiful koi fish swim comfortably.

At this time, night is approaching, and the courtyard and the Japanese room are brightly lit, and it is obvious that the hall is full.

Walking in the wooden corridor, through the paper door, the quiet and pure music of the shamisen in the room is mixed with the laughter of men and women, and it contains a shallow ambiguous atmosphere for the night that has not yet fallen.

Glancing up at the twists and turns of the corners of the man's cloak that was one step ahead, I silently began to have a toothache.

…………

Walking forward without squinting, during which there was a bright maid in the room on one side of the door opening the door, and when our group happened to pass by, I glimpsed several men in suits and leather shoes inside.

Uh~ vaguely as if... But as soon as I passed through that room, I immediately left behind the familiar figures I had just seen, probably an illusion... Right?

…………

The paper door painted with flowers of the four seasons was gently pushed open, and the one who led the way put away his hand and stood upright on the side of the door.

Not for anything else, but for me to understand that the success rate of tonight's blind date is much lower than expected.

As soon as I stepped into the room, the rice paper door behind me closed quietly, I smiled politely, and gently sat down in the position according to the other party's instructions.

There are nothing strange in the room, light cyan tatami mats, vermilion cases, and the Wano Country-style decoration guide Guests need to kneel and sit, and I wear a long skirt better than a short skirt, at least my thighs will not be exposed.

The man sat upright on one side, his snow-white general's cloak hanging down from the ground behind him, and he looked very formal in a suit and leather shoes.

The two looked at each other for a while, and the other party's expression was a little stiff, and for some reason maybe a little disappointed? I glanced at him and leveled my gaze, making up my mind not to speak before him.

I forgot about it, the head nurse's family is now sitting in the brigadier position, and the 'husband's colleague' in her mouth is also a brigadier general, and I only remembered the rank embroidered by the man's epaulettes, and by the way, I was shocked.

The head nurse really gave a big 'surprise'.

…………

After a long pause, the man broke the silence with a cough, and when he saw me look up, he raised the corners of his mouth again, and pulled out a soft smile that looked difficult.

I also had a hard time smiling back.

Seeing this, he coughed again, and said in a choked voice, "Fritz. Selnier, Caroline told you, right? ”

Uh~ That's not it, I don't have a trace of the black line, nodding or shaking my head, the head nurse really didn't mention the man's name, she didn't say anything, I don't know if I forgot to ask, or if she was busy and missed it.

But... I smiled, "Anna, she's a nurse, at home..."

"Eh~ I know, I know." The man interrupted softly, took away his expression, and laughed as if he thought about it, "Miss Anna may have forgotten about it, we met before." ”

"I asked Caroline to make this meeting." As he spoke, he reached over and gently shook my hand resting on the table, and then quickly withdrew it, his tone was sincere, "I believe Miss Anna will understand my sincerity." ”

"Let's eat first, shall we? Miss Anna must be hungry, what a faux pas. ”

…………

Speaking of which, this Commodore Mr. is quite personable.

Hmm~ Not counting the killing momentum that lingers around him, but I believe that some young girls don't mind, and men can be very popular among women without relying on their looks, so I'm confused.

What exactly do you like about me? Listening to what he said, it wasn't the head nurse I thought was interested in being a matchmaker, but the man took the initiative to ask for a meeting?

I don't remember meeting this commodore myself, let alone doing anything that would make people sauntered.

It's really puzzling.

…………

Confusion is confusion, today's meal is quite relaxed.

Brigadier General Fritz himself said that he was not good at words, so he said very little during meals, and the way he stared at people did not annoy me, at least... Nothing showy/skinny/hopeful.

As a courtesy, I even drank two small glasses of sake.

When the main meal was over, the maid gently cleaned up the dishes, served the tea again, and when the two of them were alone again in the room, Mr. Fritz, who looked relaxed, spoke in a low voice, "It is said that one side chatters and the other laughs and does not speak, which is an indication of no chance." ”

"Miss Anna..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone outside the paper door whispered, "Brigadier General." ”

Then the closed door opened, and the lieutenant, who had been guarding outside, raised what he was carrying, "Sour berries from below, Brigadier General." ”

After speaking, the lieutenant, who had been allowed to enter the room, gently rested a basket on the desk, and then quickly withdrew when he was done.

Perhaps because of this interruption, Brigadier General Fritz put away his somewhat rude actions, his face changed several times, and finally put his eyes on the basket as if he was embarrassed, "The fruits produced in the New World are delicious. ”

He flipped through it a few times and handed it to me, then said, "It's not bad to make juice, do you want to try it?" ”

Lowering his eyes and looking at the fruit in the distance, I was stunned, Xu saw that I didn't react, his hand was withdrawn stiffly, and said astringently, "I'm sorry Miss Anna, just now I..."

He stumbled and apologized, because he didn't have a good behavior, but at the moment my attention was not on that, I stared straight at the basket of berries on the table, and my heart was very frightened for a moment.

…………

Raising my hand and dragging it over the basket to quickly examine it a few times, I jerked my head up and shouted, "Don't put it in your mouth, this thing is poisonous!" ”

The man paused, looking surprised.

In an instant, the paper door was slammed open, "Brigadier General? "It's a lieutenant.

…………

What followed was chaos.
