Chapter 258: The Melancholy of Taiho Shinano

Regarding the uncertain information provided by Bai Xue, Nagato and Mutsu did not dwell too hard.

Since there is a big sister with those two little guys, then at least they should have no problem in terms of life and safety.

When Fuso returns with a blue-haired girl holding a cat, Nagato and Mutsu are already chatting with Yamashiro and Shirayuki about the Castle.

"Oooh! Sure enough, it's Sister Nagato and Sister Mutsu, and Kojima Wind, I really miss me! ”

Blowing Snow pounced immediately after walking into the living room and seeing the three of them, and the poor orange cat was handed over by her to Fusang, who looked helpless on the side.

Nagato smiled and touched her head after catching Blowing Snow, "It's been a long time since I've seen Blowing Snow, and you're still so energetic." ”

"Hee-hee, the little naughty hasn't changed much after the transformation." Mutsu also smiled and pinched Fuxue's little face and said jokingly.

"Not really! Fukiyuki has grown up and will take care of her sister now, right? Fukiyuki confirmed to his sister after breaking free from Michinoku's clutches.

"Huh? Well...... Probably. ”

Bai Xue was obviously stunned for a moment by her sister's sudden question, and then turned her eyes away and replied perfunctorily.

"What! That kind of uncertain answer, as a younger sister, do you actually look down on your sister! ”

Fukiyuki suddenly became angry when she saw Bai Xue's reaction, and after standing up from Nagato's arms, she ran over to clean up this sister who didn't give her sister face.

Looking at the two sisters who were making a mess, Shancheng said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, the two of them are usually quite sensible, maybe I'm too excited to see you here today." ”

Mutsu said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, destroyers just need to be energetic, and if it's too lifeless, the Admiral doesn't like it." ”

Ignoring the jokes between Mutsu and Yamashiro, Nagato asked Fuso about his resignation.

"Fortunately, although the boss was a little reluctant to let me go, he still agreed after I apologized repeatedly, and I am really sorry for him."

Speaking of the old man who has always taken care of himself, Fusang said apologetically.

————————————————

While Nagato's side was making significant progress, another group of Daiho and Shinano who were heading to Edo also received an uncertain piece of information.

After parting ways with Nagato, the two took the Shinkansen to the largest city in the Kanto region.

"It's a city called the eastern capital, and it's even more prosperous than Yokosuka."

Shinano sighed as he looked at the tall buildings around him.

"It's also a city where the shogun leaves the palace, so it's normal to have this kind of weather, and it's said that if it weren't for the invasion of the deep sea, the original Kabon government planned to move the capital here."

Daho said to Shinano while looking at the food stall on the side of the road, his eyes lit up.

Looking at Dafeng's appearance, Shinano was a little funny, but she still reminded the person in charge, "Dafeng, you have to manage your appetite, don't end up being as embarrassed as the predecessors of the First Air War." ”

After hearing Shinano's words, Daho reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"I know, besides, I'm not as overeating as Akagi's predecessors, and the Admiral has given so much travel expenses, as long as I don't squander it, I won't be able to use it up."

Shinano said solemnly, "We also have to consider the cost of finding the other sisters, and if we can find clues about them, then taking them back will also cost some more money." ”

Dafeng suddenly slapped his forehead, "Yes, there are still things in this regard, it seems that we still have to save a little." ”

After reluctantly looking at the food stalls on the side of the road, she took Shinano and walked towards the city.

"According to the Admiral's RPG experience, it is said that the tavern is the best place to inquire about information, so let's go to the nearby tavern and try to ask first, shall we?" Shinano recalled his admiral's words and suggested to Taiho.

"Well, although the Admiral says he himself is not sure if this statement is accurate, let's try."

Immediately, the two began to walk through the taverns and bars along the road.

Although I also met some gangsters who were not long-eyed on the way, I saw two big beauties planning to make bad moves.

But well...... In front of the two ship girls, their results can be imagined.

"I didn't expect to really hear some information that I don't know if it's true or false, let's find a room to tidy up first."

After spending some time and time gathering information and recording it in a small notebook, Taiho and Shinano decided to sort out the true and false information they had obtained.

"Hmm...... The information of this 'ball king' is the one that Nagato and the others confirmed, right? Leave it to rest for now. ”

"Heiankyo is still being discussed about the combination of eating and drinking a few months ago, and the timeliness is too poor......

The two of them in the dormitory complained while sifting through the various information they got today.

After flipping through the notes in his notebook, Shinano was a little distressed.

"I didn't get any decent news, it's basically messy lace news."

Dafeng also collapsed on the tatami mat all of a sudden, and said irritably: "It seems that if the sisters want to live in seclusion, it will still be difficult to find, so let's continue to search tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Dafeng looked burned out, Shinano smiled bitterly and nodded.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and according to outsiders, it was the proprietress who had delivered the food.

Shinano glanced at Daho, who was reluctant to get up, and had no choice but to open the door by himself.

"Excuse me, the dinner you ordered has been delivered."

The middle-aged proprietress smiled and bowed to the two, and then beckoned the waiters to bring in the dinner for the two.

"Thank you, boss, and you will bring someone to deliver it yourself." Shinano politely thanked the hostess.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Where, since the guests have stayed in our store, then we have to serve sincerely, besides, it is the off-season, and there are not many people staying in the hotel." ”

Saying that, the proprietress looked at the sad faces of the two and asked tentatively

"Could it be that the two of you have any troubles? If I can help, I might as well talk about it, and I don't dare to say anything else, my husband and wife have been running a store in Edo for more than ten years, and the big and small things in this neighborhood are still quite clear. ”

Shinano heard her words and glanced at Daho, "I think it's not bad to ask the proprietress if you open a dormitory, and the people who open the inn will hear some news more or less, right?" ’

"Yes, there's no other way to do it anyway, so just ask." ’

After the two finished communicating, Shinano also told her about the news that they were looking for the ship's mother under the kind inquiry of the proprietress.

"Ship mother? It's rare to see it in Edo, but there are quite a few nearby Yokosuka cities. The proprietress replied after hearing the questions from the two.

The two were a little disappointed with this answer, but they didn't pay too much attention to it, and they just asked casually with the mentality of giving it a try.

But then the proprietress relented.

"By the way, two days ago, I heard from a guest who came to work from out of town that they seemed to have traces of a shipwreck."

"Really?"

"Lady boss, please tell me more about the situation."

The two of them had different reactions after hearing this, and Shinano Masashi, who was slightly more sedate, asked.

The proprietress didn't sell it after seeing the anxious looks of the two, and told the two of them what she had heard two days ago.

It turned out that a guest from Kitomi Prefecture mentioned two days ago that there seemed to be a woman suspected of being a shipwreck in Kamiyama City, Kitomi.

"A lot of power? Just say it's a ship girl? ”

Dafeng was a little disappointed after hearing the words of the boss lady, after all, among ordinary people, powerful women also exist, and this information alone can't confirm whether the other party is a ship lady or not.

Shinano smiled and thanked the proprietress who provided the news, "Thank you, we'll take the time to go and have a look." ”

After the other party left the room with the waiter, Dafeng leaned on the low table and asked, "You don't really plan to go, do you?" No matter how you look at this bit of information, I think it's just an ordinary girl with a lot of strength. ”

Shinano also sighed slightly disappointed, "Let's continue to inquire in Edo City tomorrow, if you still don't get anything, you might as well go to that Kamiyama City to have a look, anyway, it's a relatively reliable piece of information." ”

"Okay, okay, then let's rest early and turn off the lights."

The next morning, after breakfast, the two left the dormitory with the farewell of the proprietress and continued to inquire about information in Edo City.

But unfortunately, after returning to the room in the afternoon to tidy up, the two were still disappointed.

"There's no way, it looks like I can only go to Shenshan City to see the situation, anyway, I don't have any other information now, so let's stop by and inquire along the way." Dafeng dropped the small notebook and said unwillingly.

Shinano also nodded depressedly, "That's all, I hope there will be new gains along the way." ”

After deciding where to go, the two of them didn't drag their feet, and after leaving the room the next day, they took the Shinkansen to Kitomi City, the capital of Kitomi Prefecture.

On the train, the two also asked the flight attendant about the ship's mother, but they still found nothing.

Qifu County is an inland county located in the central region of Jiepen, and the forest area occupies four-fifths of the total area of the county.

The city of Kinayama that Daiho and the others are heading to is right behind a group of mountains more than 3,000 meters above sea level in the northern part of Kitomi, a city famous for its beauty and carpentry skills.

The city is dominated by wooden buildings, and the exquisite carpentry skills add an antique charm to the already beautiful scenery of Kamiyama City, and many historical sites, temples and shrines attract a large number of tourists every year.

After getting off the Shinkansen, the Taiho and the others boarded a bus to Kamiyama City in Kitomi City, and because it was the off-season for tourism, this bus was as deserted as Nagato and they went to Hongqian City.

However, Dafeng and the others unexpectedly got important information from the old man who returned home from the car.
