Chapter 42: The Faith of the Ship Lady
The scorching summer sun enveloped the entire land, but it could only scorch the seemingly fragile surface of the earth, and even in this bustling city surrounded by endless waters, a beautiful and thick dream castle was enough to withstand most of the heat attack, not to mention the fountain in the castle.
"Albrecht, you wait outside for a while, I'll come as soon as I go." Hutten felt a little sorry for his pets, and let them accompany him to be locked in a small space, and this time he brought Albrecht out, and let him breathe a little by the way. Albrecht heard his master's command and left the castle gates, leaving Huten alone to admire the delicately designed fountain garden.
The mist was filled, and some of the water vapor that drifted away gradually rose, colliding and blending with the sunlight above under the treatment of some unknown processes, and gradually seemed to faintly reflect a little bit of colorful light, reflecting in Hu Teng's eyes, so that her long-dormant heart finally underwent some unusual changes today.
The sound of high heels and stairs colliding echoed in this empty silence, and she never imagined that she would one day be in such a place. This is undoubtedly just an absurd joke for her who was arrogant and paranoid before. As for today, I found that my former self was a real joke.
"That's it." A slightly cold mature female voice passed through the slightly hidden wooden door in front of her, and reached the ear of a person behind the wall through a delicate and small microphone, so that her original residual sporadic sleepiness gradually subsided, and then she heard the sound of the door being slowly opened, and the sound of high heels colliding with the ground represented that a guest had arrived, reminding her that the work was about to begin.
"Anyone?"
The battleship Ulrich von Hutten arrived, not as a powerful battleship, but as a shipwit in need of psychological counseling, and even the person behind the wooden wall could infer the identity of this guest from the tone of Hutten's voice must have been extraordinary.
"Yes."
Although it was only two short words, the voice was exceptionally soft, Hu Teng had never heard a voice like this, and what she had most contact with on weekdays was the fear of the shipwives below, the shrinking and distancing of the fellow battleship sisters, and the strength of the enterprise. Her voice, soft with a little firmness, seems to be able to bring people some extraordinary power like magic, and I have to say that such a voice is not easy to annoy.
"You are an ordinary person, or a ship's mother."
"I'm a ship mother, please rest assured, no matter what you say, I won't pass on any information, after all, this is what we should do."
"Hmm."
"If you encounter any difficulties, or have been wronged or something, you can tell us that there are a lot of things that are actually much better to say, don't keep it in your heart, that will cause damage to your body and mind, if it is a ship mother, you should say some things that are not convenient for others to say, because the ship mother is the most dependent on the heart of a life, in addition to suffering a strong shelling can threaten the life of the ship mother, the inner confusion and guilt can also pull the ship mother into the abyss of no return."
"I know, I've thought about it for a long time, and I even feel that I've been eroded by the power of the deep sea, the ship girl is very strong, but also very fragile, I used to disdain this statement, but now I finally know, what is called vulnerable."
The voice inside was silent, she didn't expect that the guest who came here turned out to be a ship lady. Speaking so majesticly, such an imposing ship girl, she should be deeply favored by the admiral, and her status in the town guard mansion is quite high, but even if she is such a ship girl, will she have distress in her heart? Such a ship lady is about to be unable to bear the pain and torture from her heart, and has she come here to ask for help?
"No, I know you have the courage in your heart that other ship girls don't have, and your coming here means that you are not defenseless in front of it, as long as you find the right way, you can still overcome those difficulties."
"Perhaps."
Although it sounded like some rhetoric, it was undeniable that such words made her feel a lot better, and she didn't want to be really useless.
"Hope I can help you."
Hu Teng took a deep breath and began to dig into his memories.
"As an excellent soldier of the German system, I have always been disdainful of the actions of other ships in the town guard mansion, eating, drinking, and slacking off, in my opinion, since I have joined the town guard mansion, I should be a member of the town guard mansion, and I am a soldier under the command of the admiral, so I am strict with them, and I exercise physically every day, whether it is a battleship or an aircraft carrier or a so-called weak destroyer, I am strict."
"It's just that they don't want to, they resist, I demand it according to the standards of a warrior, and punish it, and finally the one who has been against me proposes to the Admiral to remove me from my position as secretary."
Sitting in the back, she didn't dare to speak, so she could only let the silence creep in, and of course she could guess the result.
"Then, the Admiral agreed, and I asked her why, and she told me."
"The ship's mother is not a warrior, at least not in her opinion, whether it is a frigate or a capital ship, it is her family."
"So I finally realized that I had done wrong, and it was only then that I realized that I had done wrong, that my faith really became fragmented, and I finally realized that what I was doing was meaningless, at least in the eyes of the Admiral. I was a sinner in front of my companions in the town guard, and they no longer wanted to look at me, whether out of fear or whatever, but at least I found that I had gained nothing, but had lost everything I was supposed to have. ”
Hu Teng sighed deeply, something that had been suppressed in her heart finally broke out, she tugged at her long hair in pain, trying not to let herself cry, this was her last insistence, she didn't want to be known about her embarrassment at the moment.
"Maybe I should say something."
"In fact, isn't the only belief of the ship's mother her own admiral? We all know that once the ship girl has a commander, it is difficult to leave, even if the commander dies in battle, many ship girls will follow their own commander to leave, in their minds, the commander is their faith. ”
"As the saying goes, the world of the Admiral can be colorful, there can be destroyers, there are light cruisers, there are battleships, and even the deep sea, but the world of the ships under their command is very simple, only the Admiral."
"Therefore, you don't have to be obsessed with the history of the warship and the country you belong to, it is already something that belongs to the old world, and it has long ceased to exist, and as a ship's mother, you should also make a choice."
The man behind the wooden wall spoke, and Hu Teng gradually stopped his movements and began to listen intently.
