Chapter 434: Admiral
By the time the Admiral of the Headquarters finally came back, it had been nearly half an hour since I had finished visiting the park, and I learned from the waiter at the reception that the combat team of the Headquarters was currently doing its best to sweep the surrounding waters for the upcoming Hurricane Conference in a month, and as the leader of the organization, the Admiral naturally went to sea with him at the beginning of his work.
After all, it was inconvenient to operate at sea, so the attendant gave a special explanation, telling me not to mistake the waiting time for the dismount given by the headquarters.
The Lori Quad left early after the tour of the park.,Before completing the application to change jobs, we belong to two different forces after all.,In order to avoid trouble afterwards.,Hibiki and the twin sisters took the initiative to separate.,And it's best not to meet again in the short term.。
Xiao, the only one who didn't know the details, was confused by the sudden statements of her teammates, but when several other people deliberately concealed it, Xiao quickly forgot about the episode by changing the topic, and she gave me a leaflet quite generously before parting.
Well, I was thankful to accept the leaflet because it was still very valuable, but I read it several times in a row, and after making sure that I remembered the message above, the leaflet eventually became a paper airplane, and I threw it at the endless sea level while the sea breeze was blowing.
To be honest, my origami airplane skills are actually quite bad, and the reason why I was able to fly it so far this time instead of immediately turning it down at the moment of takeoff must have been operated in the dark...... How to say, the goal achieved by using the operating rules will not only not be satisfied in the slightest, but a sense of emptiness will arise spontaneously from the bottom of my heart.
"Good technique."
This compliment was not uttered by the waiter who crouched on the side and watched the harbor with me in a daze, but by a man with a hat on his head and a sweatshirt on his body.
When I'm curious about the identity of the other party. The waiter stood up first and gave a military salute to the other party: "Admiral, welcome back."
"I'm back." He took his hat off his head, probably because of the long time in the sun, the man's complexion was a little dark, and then he greeted me with a smile, "You're the new Demon King candidate, right?" I'm the current leader of the headquarters, and I can just call me Admiral like everyone else."
"It's okay for me to shout like that. But what's the matter with your outfit?" I looked at the other person, and then I looked back at the harbor, where there was nothing, and new doubts grew: "There is another question, according to the results of asking Ruth, I remember that there should be no fault in the harbor here, but why did you appear from behind, could it be that the headquarters has more than two places dedicated to the docking?"
"To answer the first question first, simply put, because as soon as I got ashore, I rushed over, and the director didn't have time to change his clothes that were wet with the sea. I'm sure you know that your clothes will get heavier if they get wet, so in order to reduce the unnecessary burden, you simply untied your shirt and threw it aside." As I answered, the Admiral sat down next to me, and from the looks of the man was about thirty years old, younger than I had originally thought.
"It feels like it's a little disrespectful to the other person." I mean nothing else, but simply my personal reflections on the Admiral's overly carefree behavior.
"It depends, of course." Uncle Admiral squinted his eyes and showed a hearty smile: "Judging from the news reported by the island wind, you should be a rather casual guy as the Demon King Candidate. If you do have a big welcome party, you're probably going to start getting impatient soon, right?"
「…… I can't argue with it."
"As for the second question I just asked." Reaching out and rubbing his chin with stubble. The Admiral slapped the palm of the order's hand with his fist, and suddenly said, "I think the staff you asked for directions probably misunderstood, in fact, our headquarters will hold a homecoming ceremony one hour before the end of the tour every night, and the port we are facing at the moment is the best place to watch the homecoming ceremony, from a certain point of view, he is not pointing to the wrong place."
"What's the homecoming ceremony?"
"If I have to say, it's actually a show stunt to attract tourists, and it will be close to evening. We'll have the combat crew change into their gear and enter the harbor from this area with the accompanying show boats, and interact with the visitors for a short time." The Admiral stretched out his hand and pointed to a distance of about 100 meters, where he saw a specially set up circular theater, and continued, "The members of the combat team will eventually return to the headquarters through the external passage of the theater. However, if you want to get up close and personal, you have to pay for tickets, and those who can't get tickets will have to watch from afar."
"I said your organization...... No, it's the capital of the sea, and it's really full of complaints, in all kinds of ways." I cocked my fingers and gave examples one by one, "An officially recognized intelligence organization, and it's open for sightseeing, and finally there's a closing show or something, by the way, I almost forgot that the way you choose your lord is also very problematic, and you actually picked an orc to be in charge."
"No, allow me to explain that." Stretching out his five fingers to interrupt me, the Admiral's face looked a little surprised: "I thought you already knew, so I skipped it, but the person who actually holds power in the Sea Capital is not the lord."
"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned by this sudden change of information.
"If you want to say the origin, you have to go back too long ago, so I don't know the details personally, but it seems that the maritime capital has always been such a form of government for a long time." The Admiral's right index finger drew a circle for unknown reasons, as if he was trying to dig out the past history of the Sea Capital from his mind: "It may be a little brief if I explain it, but the Sea Capital was not as lively as it is now a thousand years ago, and the reason why it became one of the five major forces in the Demon World was purely due to luck, after all, except for the aquatic race, other people are not suitable for living on the sea for a long time, so they took the trade of the sea and land as an opportunity, and the scattered forces in the sea established a trading station, Then, with the development of time, it gradually built, and finally became the current maritime city, and in order to unify the management of the people on the sea side, the Linsan forces elected the consul by drawing lots...... Of course, because it was not based on talent, and a lot of things happened one after another, in short, the stick of the consul was finally handed over to a mermaid with management skills, and the mermaid is a long-lived race, so without anyone objecting, this mermaid became the consul of the sea capital, and he did it for thousands of years."
"Won't there be any problems that way?"
"How can it not be a problem, since there is no one to replace the consul, it is said that the various scattered forces, almost at the level of the village chief, are losing their temper because they can't vote again!"
"The point of anger is so inconsequential......" (To be continued......)
