Chapter 9 Evening primrose

A little after three o'clock in the afternoon, the 'accident' in the Fifth General Canteen came to light, and the navy who 'rescued a comrade who broke his throat bone' honestly confessed his actions.

These include deliberately causing an accident in an attempt to kill a companion and stealing Beladona grass from a Ministry of Science plantation.

Hmm~ This is good news for me, because the investigation of the theft by the Ministry of Science can be closed, and Nana and several of her hapless colleagues are cleared of suspicion.

As for why I knew about the internal affairs of the Navy in the first place, I was squatting in Vice Admiral's office with a dead face and refused to leave.

…………

Speaking of which, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel is really... I can't see it from the outside.,A man who is so gentle that he almost has no temper.。

At the end of lunch, Xu was hindered by Lieutenant General Karp, the Zhenshan Divine Beast, and the Yellow Ape General and the Ghost Spider Lieutenant General who originally appeared like a teacher asking for guilt, and the two left without staying long.

After all, the admirals are all in a hurry~ I think.

Then, Dr. Stokes and Lieutenant General Karp decided to catch up on the old days for tea, and before leaving, I thought that Lieutenant General Karp, whose nerves were as thick as water pipes, was surprised to understand the expression in my eyes, so I opened my mouth.

Lieutenant General Karp said that as an old friend, it is natural for him to take care of Stokes' students~ Since the little girl has nothing to do, it is not a violation of discipline to meet her family~

I took advantage of the fact that Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel was a little embarrassed and quickly refused (pretending), and then with tears in my eyes, I cheekily proposed, let me hide and see, or stay and so on, no matter what, I have to be reassured as a parent.

Probably after weighing the two sides, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel agreed~ He led me back to the resident office and asked me to sit on a corner sofa and wait as a guest.

As I said before, the admirals are probably in a hurry, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel returned to the office and began to deal with the text, and by the way, he replied to several batches of naval personnel who came to report on affairs, and then after a while, he still remembered to take the time to pay attention to my movements.

Hmm~ I'm very embarrassed about this, people still take time out of their busy schedules, obviously hindered by my storage, but... Either way, even though everyone who came into the office was weirdly slanted, I still relied on it.

Until the good news came out.

…………

After reading the confession account brought by the guards, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel immediately told me the good news, and by the way, his expression was slightly relaxed. Now that we can finally get rid of the uninvited guests, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel is in a good mood?

Looking at the Flying Squirrel who walked to the side of the sofa, I stood up for the first time, stumbled and spoke, this time I really thanked him very, very sincerely, and by the way, I apologized deeply for causing trouble to the other party.

After patiently listening to my incoherent expressions for half a minute, the admiral still had a gentle face, and then waited for me to run out of words before he spoke slowly, "Do you want to meet your child?" Madam. ”

"A few minutes ago, the members of the Science Department left the temporary residence, and they can be seen from the window." As he spoke, he turned around and motioned for me to follow, "I'm sorry ma'am, but you can't meet with your child at the Navy headquarters. ”

Walking to the window on the outer wall of the office, and then moving a little away from the side, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel whispered, "They need to report to General Yellow Ape first." ”

"I know, I'm causing you trouble." I stood in front of the window and looked nervously in the direction he had signaled, feeling grateful.

I know and understand what this admiral said.

Poisoning and theft, the theft of the Ministry of Science is the Beladona grass, Lieutenant General Karp said; Coupled with the unfortunate poisoning attempt on Brigadier General Fritz, that thing is belladonna.

Two things are connected... The inside story must be very complicated, and it may also involve political dumping, and Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel is already on the side of the net at this moment, and he will take special care of me in front of Lieutenant General Karp.

I'm grateful to him.

Because even if he refuses to give convenience, no one will say that he has done something wrong, after all, when it comes to the internal affairs of the navy, where can the ordinary people outside be qualified to know?

If it weren't for Dr. Stokes' kind help, I'm afraid I would have been in the dark until Nana came home at the end of the investigation and my child would have been silent.

So I'm really grateful, whether it's Dr. Stokes or others, who are willing to help others when they are helpless and have never violated their principles, they are all kind-hearted people~

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was just right, but the warmth was no longer violent.

The office was on the top floor, and from the top of the floor, I had an unobstructed view of the surrounding area, and I didn't dare to look anywhere else, staring intently at the place pointed by Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel.

Across the building of a vast training ground, at the exit of the corridor half-covered by dense trees, several figures were slowly walking out.

Walking in the front is a soldier in a white shirt and blue military pants, followed by a few men who are slightly different from the soldiers, I can't see it clearly from a distance, probably because of the difference in temperament, right? Compared with the fierce soldiers, the men who appeared behind them looked weaker.

Nana was at the end, a little distance from the men in front of her, for some reason, or... As she said that night, the seniors in the Ministry of Science were a little repulsive to her.

Out of the building, the men walked along the tree-lined avenue below, their figures disappearing from time to time.

I stared and watched, and only sighed when Nana was about to step out of the shadow of the tree and enter the corner where she was headed, "Lost weight~" It looks like she's in good spirits, but... I've lost weight~

During the investigation, even if you don't have to be able to be reasonable, you must be mentally stressed, right? Nana is still a child, she is only sixteen years old, even if she is a genius, she is only a child.

Pursing the corners of my mouth, I just felt uncomfortable with a hard object in my throat.

The corner of the building partially intersected with the training ground, and there were no trees planted at a small distance, so the view appeared empty, and the group moving forward quickly got rid of the shadows of the trees.

I was trying to get out of the window, lest anyone look back and see a distant peeping, unmoved but not wanting to hurry out of the corner on the other side of the building.

Quite a large area, but agile, accurately flashed the person who almost collided head-on, and appeared in front of Nana in the blink of an eye.

It's a small sumo wrestler.,Captain Sentomaru in Nana's mouth.。

After the two young men looked at each other, Nana stopped, turned her face up as if to say something, Sentomaru lowered her head and replied, and then the young sumo wrestler turned around and continued to walk side by side with Nana.

Nana was a short distance behind the group of people in front of her, and Captain Sentomaru took a few steps and turned around, changing to a position on the outside of the road, which actually smelled a little protective.

The scene from afar, I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth when I saw it, very... It's very reassuring~ isn't it? Little sumo wrestler, even if Nana doesn't have a good attitude towards him, as a parent, I'm still very happy to watch~

…………

Just as I was so moved that I was so kind, that the little sumo wrestler, who was stepping over the corner of the building, stopped at his feet, and he turned his head suddenly...

"........." came back to my senses, I was already holding my breath and staring at the snow-white wall in front of me, and I didn't dare to breathe.

After a few moments, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel whispered, "They're gone, Lady Anna. After a pause, there was a hint of unbearable laughter in his tone, "Actually, it's nothing to see." ”

"........." I squatted on the ground and walled, covering my forehead because of the rapid movement, and grinning silently.

It hurts a little... The sensitivity of the five senses of a young sumo wrestler is simply not human, it is not a human being, and you can find it from afar, and the slenderness of the nerves is inversely proportional to his huge area, right?

After a few more moments, the Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel patted me lightly on the shoulder, and when I let go of my dull forehead, I slowly stood up against the wall, and when I met his eyes, I noticed that he was a little stunned.

"Madame Anna," he said, reaching out and taking a handkerchief from his pocket, and then said as if with a smile, "the handkerchief is clean, and the forehead... Does it hurt? ”

Hurt... After taking the handkerchief that someone kindly handed me and pressing it to the place where it hit, I hissed softly and smiled strongly, "It's okay, thank you very much." "I just squatted on the ground and moved too violently, my head hit the window frame and rubbed against the wall, and now the position is throbbing and throbbing.

I don't know if it's oily or swollen? Probably both?

Hissing again, I took off the handkerchief covering the wound, looked at it, and then was a little embarrassed, "I'll wash it and return it to you, I'm really causing you trouble, Lieutenant General." ”

The light-colored handkerchief borrowed by the flying squirrel was stained with white ash and blood, and it was obviously unrealistic to return it to him, uh~ I'm making such a mess and causing trouble all the way... It's terrible.

"It's time for me to leave, I'm sorry to delay you." Rest assured, I didn't have the courage to bother cheekily, so I took my leave, as for why the three sentences didn't leave the apology?

Etiquette is not strange~ I admit that I am a little hypocritical.

Of course, gratitude is also real, and I want to find an opportunity to express it, but I don't know what to give yet.

People who are grateful for the kindness of others, indifferent, or take help for granted, are selfish and indifferent.

No one in this world has the obligation to be good to another person, and when I meet a good person to help, I am naturally grateful.

…………

After a brief moment of silence, Lieutenant Squirrel spoke in a more gentle, even helpless, tone, "Lady Anna is so polite that she is overwhelmed. ”

"Actually, I didn't do anything."

Raising his hand to stop me from speaking, he smiled, paused for a few seconds as if to think before continuing, "Madame's wound needs to be treated, let a lady go out of my office with her wound..."

"I'll be blamed."

His eyes seemed a little distressed, and he raised his hand to compare my forehead, "As an apology, Madame Anna can wait here, and if there is no accident, Madame's children will be able to return home in the evening." ”

"Madame can see the child as soon as possible."

Seeing my pretended hesitation, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel added some assurance to his voice, "General Yellow Ape has always been very protective of his subordinates. ”

…………

Ten minutes later, I was lying on the sofa with a large band-aid on my forehead, and after relaxing, in addition to the wound, it was still a little painful, and my head was also a little dizzy. Or maybe too many things at once make the love go up and down?

Anyway, when I was quiet, I felt groggy, and I forced myself to hold up my glued eyes, blinked slowly, and then sighed lowly.

In the end, I still couldn't resist the temptation/confusion in my head, and Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel said that if there was no accident, Nana would be able to go home in the evening, and I, I would stay at the exit of the Navy Headquarters until the time, and I could see my children as soon as possible.

I knew that it would be a dead face to stay, but I finally didn't insist on saying goodbye, because the temptation/confusion was too great~ Although Nana can still meet when she goes home in the evening, but...

But... In fact, I can't wait to run to the science department to take Nana into my arms now, and comfort her like when I was a child, she must be very scared, right? Talking to me every night and every night, Nana must be scared, right?

It's me who is not good, and I don't have the ability to protect her.

Baby, I'm sorry, I'm so useless.

…………

…………

………… Dividing line ............

My brain was dizzy, and I was relieved to kowtow my head, and I remembered the past when I thought about it.

Nana was born like a little monkey, and the red and wrinkled little baby couldn't open her eyes, and she only knew how to cry quietly.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, the daily newspapers were full of wars, and countless people set sail to become pirates, and in addition to the four seas, there were also young people from the islands of the Great Passage.

Those people have a sense of anxiety that has nowhere to vent, yearning for dreams that have no end in sight, and then plunging the world into turmoil.

I know that the faults of turmoil cannot be forced on the head of any one person or one camp, but that part of the people vents their resentment in their hearts, and is a rebellion against the power of reality.

Draconians, noble kings, world governments, a class with force.

Without oppression, there is no struggle.

If life is stable and happy, no one wants to be displaced.

I can understand, but I can't.

In the past, when I watched One Piece through the screen, I would be enthusiastic with the plot and shed tears for the tragic experience of the characters.

It's a pity that now, as an unarmed civilian, I, like every aboriginal of this world, fear and hate the wreaking havoc of pirates.

I don't have the skills, nor do I have the noble consciousness of 'shedding the last drop of blood for justice', all I can do is to flee to Malinford in a panic, hold my child, and survive safely.

Unproductive, selfish, and soft-boned.

I admit it.

Pretentious, stingy, suspicious.

I admit it too.

Sophistication, cowardice, and negativity, I have developed the qualities of disdain in the past, but watching a little baby grow from a monkey to a girl like a beautiful flower, I feel fulfilled again.

It's like this for a lifetime, and there's nothing wrong with that.

…………

When I opened my eyes, I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and was a little dazed, and my mind, still immersed in memories, couldn't figure out what had happened for a moment.

A moment ago, I was watching Nana go out happily, it was her first time in the science department, and the night before she came back to tell me that she had been smiling very happily, and I was happy for her...

And then how do you wake up and find that the ceiling has never been seen before?

The light is a little dim, the lights on the ceiling are not on, and the indoor light source comes from... After a moment's pause, I remembered where I was.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's office, so, this is asleep, right?

Holding my arms up, I felt something slip down my body and looked down, then I grabbed the blanket that had slipped down and slowly turned my face away.

The light came from the lamp on the huge desk in the center of the room, and the man raised his head when he heard the sound, and the dim light reflected his eyebrows softly, "You woke up, the doctor said you were too tired and needed a good rest." ”

"I'm sorry, I made my own decisions."

"Ah~ no, thank you." In the blink of an eye, I slowly turned my head to look at the window, staring at the already dark blue sky high in the sky outside.

"Nana."

"She hasn't left yet, don't worry." An arm came sideways to stop my hairy hands and feet, and the person who was originally handling the paper at the desk appeared quickly, "I asked the Science Department. ”

Steadied by his hand, I blinked, trying to shake off the remaining sleepiness in my head, "What time is it?" ”

"A quarter past six." After a pause for a few seconds, he was somewhat... As if worried, he tried to get me to sit back down, "Madame, is she dizzy?" ”

"Uh~ No, I just didn't wake up."

Hearing my reply, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel immediately let go of his hand, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked softly, "May I have the honour of having dinner with Lady Anna?" ”

"Huh?" Raising my eyes and thinking about it, I smiled and nodded, "It's my pleasure." ”

…………

I knew that dinner was an excuse, and that the admiral should have something else to ask.

In fact, I was already mentally prepared, but I didn't want the other party to be so good, so I didn't ask formally, but planned to knock on the side.

Having dinner together is a soft excuse that makes people irresistible.

…………

The Navy Headquarters was quiet at night, with lights in the windows of every building and lighting lines on both sides of the road, but it was still quiet and deserted, except for the occasional patrol, the whole area was deserted, and it was a far cry from the vibrancy of the day.

The soldiers with loaded guns give people a sense of tension at night.

After the invitation, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel took some time to take care of the business, and I, I 'just happened' to receive Nana's call, and the timing was very clever, and it deepened my inner understanding.

The phone snail she carried with her accurately personified the face of the bear child, she looked quite happy, although I don't know if it was pretended, Nana said that she came home at night after the end of the day, just... And because the reality is over, she and her colleagues plan to celebrate.

So~ Nana will go home at night, but she won't go home for dinner, and the other time will be later.

Before the call ended, the phone snail mimicked the face of another person, looking a little nervous and reserved.

It's Sentomaru, and he very formally says in the background that Nana is unhappy that he will send people home safely.

The guarantee of the little sumo wrestler reassures me, because the juniors of the Yellow Ape General's family~ will say this, there must be part of the truth~ In short, the process is not important.

Of course, it's even better if it's a date~

…………

Walking slowly all the way, along the way, I also felt the admiral next to me a few vague gazes, he seemed to have something to say, but he seemed to not know how to talk about it, in short, it was very tangled.

It wasn't until he left the quiet garrison and entered the slightly relaxed area that Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, who had been quiet for a long time, spoke, chatting casually, "How do you judge bisexuality?" ”

I almost choked on my saliva, and after waiting so long to make all kinds of preparations, I actually... Hearing such a terrifying question.

Silently embarrassed, I leveled my gaze, and I laughed dryly, "Intuition." "Where can I sue this admiral, I'm talking nonsense? For example, what kind of man wears a black turtleneck and looks like a, such a cheating reason, don't say he doesn't believe it, I don't believe it myself.

After a moment of silence, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel said lightly, "Lady Anna has good instincts. ”

Turning my face away and raising my gaze, I looked at the man with a slightly blurred expression in the night, thought about it, and finally smiled silently.

'Bisexual' and his 'good intuition' were referring to the Fifth Cafeteria, which I thought...

"In the afternoon, the soldier confessed, and more than half of his confession was consistent with what his wife had said when she identified him." Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's feet did not change his speed, and his tone remained gentle, "Of course, our investigation has shown that Lady Anna has nothing to do with anything. ”

Through the night, the man's eyes were a little strange, "But it does have good intuition." ”

Hehehe~ I kept smiling, but in fact, the corners of my mouth twitched vaguely, because I didn't know what to think.

Speaking of which, it is indeed my bad luck, since the night of the blind date, my luck seems to have not been good, Brigadier General Fritz was almost poisoned, those belladonnas came from the Ministry of Science, and the fifth comprehensive canteen encountered an accident, and the person involved was actually involved.

Like a chain reaction.

It is normal for the Navy to investigate because of this, and Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's inquiry is even more reasonable, even I can't think of it, and casually refute the man who framed Nana, which is actually true.

Is there a crow's mouth?

…………

After thinking about it, I finally re-opened my mouth in a muffled voice, "At that time, the scene of the Fifth Comprehensive Canteen did not seem to be an accident. ”

Because of Dr. Stokes' reaction, if it was an accident, the backbone of our hospital's surgery would have scolded him while explaining his next first aid process, after all, it would scare others and cut the trachea or something.

Colleagues for more than ten years, these elderly people in our hospital, who doesn't understand whose habits?

Improper rescue, broken laryngeal bone, according to Dr. Stokes's habit of words, he should say 'rescue has an accident', neither 'improper' nor the consequences.

As a doctor, Dr. Stokes would have been silent, and if he hadn't found anything, Dr. Stokes wouldn't have accused him in public.

"The lunch box that fell to the ground is not what girls are used to, and there are traces of trampling and struggle on the ground."

The food was sparsely stepped on, and the person who had the accident was also stained on his body, vomited and fell to the ground unconscious, he should not have the strength to roll, and the person who rescued him had scratch marks on his hands.

After saying that, I thought about it, a little embarrassed, "I'm dizzy, Nana is not a bad boy." ”

"I understand." Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel replied, and then he chuckled, "It doesn't sound like it, Lady Anna and the child. ”

"Nana is like her father." I am always told that children are not like myself, I have become accustomed to it, Nana's appearance is more than a child who only appears in photos and I have no impression of her father.

To be honest, I don't really remember the other person's appearance, but I occasionally look at Nana's blonde hair and blue eyes, and I think of it.

Hmm~ There are only a few photos kept at home, but it is also because I don't want Nana to be too careful, her father died at a very young age, I think it was probably because Anna was too sad to hear the bad news and passed away.

For so many years, those memories have been deliberately forgotten by me, and those feelings do not belong to me.

After a moment of silence, I curled the corners of my mouth, "It's good to be like her father." ”

Anna has black hair and black eyes, I look in the mirror every day at this malnourished face like a miserable white girl, and then compare Nana's tall and gorgeous appearance... Decisive, like a child, her father is good.

…………

Somehow, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel fell silent.

The atmosphere also seemed a little strange with his silence.

Then it was another journey, and when I turned the corner of a building with no apparent purpose, a dozen meters in front of me, several people walked out of the building on the side of the road.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel paused slightly, but did not speak.

The men walked out of the shade of the trees next to the building, and the figure at the head paused, turned his face, and the snow-white general's cloak curled up in a small arc under the lamp.

Crimson suit, also wearing a hat at night, the brim of the hat covers the eyes.

I was horrified by the volley's gaze.

In fact, he couldn't see anything at all in the big night, but if the man's eyes were substantial, he glanced at them, and the terrible oppression that rushed to his face made his heart twitch and his scalp tingle.

…………

"General Sakasky." Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel revealed the identity of the other party in a deep voice.
