Chapter 138: Maizuru

After yesterday's little episode of Kyoto no To, I rubbed my head and looked at the huge warship in front of me, feeling a little depressed.

Really, isn't it just a desertion...... I cautiously glanced at Xiaolan next to me, Xiaolan looked at me consciously, remembering yesterday's iron fist, I couldn't help but shrink my head. This is called the big husband can bend and stretch, and he is not as knowledgeable as the little woman, and it is by no means cowardly or anything......

Maizuru City, to be exact, is under the jurisdiction of Kyoto Prefecture, facing the Sea of Japan, and has always been known as a Japanese shipbuilding base, and its population is not small, although it is not as economically as good as Kyoto, Osaka and other Kansai metropolises, it can be considered passable, and since you have arrived in Kansai, you must be looking for that guy after that. As I looked at the warship in front of me, I couldn't help but think of a certain black boy with an Osaka accent that made me unhappy.

Hawkers, forget it, just go to see Heye, I comforted myself in my heart.

The children on one side were cheering at the Zeus ship, and the initiator of the event, Mitsuhiko, was enthusiastically explaining the relevant information of the warship to everyone, in the face of this imposing Zeus ship, not only the children like Yuan Tai were excited, but even Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who were originally not interested in military affairs, were also fascinated by it.

The sea breeze brought wisps of salty taste, accompanied by the rolling blue waves, reflecting dazzling flashes from time to time, and a faint sense of familiarity welled up in my heart, which made me feel a little trance.

Do you like the sea?

I still remember the voice of that person clearly, and it seems to be still ringing in my ears, but the person is already in different places, and I can't help but feel a little melancholy when I think about it.

What's that person's favorite song? It's on his lips, but he can't remember the tune. After thinking hard for a while, I found that I had worked in vain, and I couldn't help but give up my efforts with some discouragement.

Should we say that man is really a forgetful animal, or should we say that time is a cruel thing?

"Xiaohui?Xiaohui?!"

"Ahhh

"What's wrong?,You didn't respond to calling you several times just now, what are you thinking, so fascinated?" Xiaolan looked at me with some curiosity: "Boys, shouldn't you be very interested in things like warships?"

"Ah...... yes, yes, I'm interested!" I squinted and smiled.

"Liar, you were obviously distracted just now, and you didn't care at all. Lan pouted cutely.

"Ahaha...... That's your delusion," I smiled a little awkwardly and digressed the subject, "Anyway, what about Conan?" I looked left and right, and saw that he was nowhere to be seen.

"That little imp with glasses just went to the bathroom. Yuan Zi answered my question instead of Xiaolan.

"That's it...... "Let's lie to the ghost.,With that kid's personality.,Eighty percent have any ghost ideas or discoveries.,Go and contact that guy at Hattori." I was dealing with the garden and scolding at the same time.

"Ah, I'm back, I'll give you a riddle, okay?" As soon as he said that, Conan didn't know where to come from, and accosted us with a sunny boy's face.

Correction, it turned out to be a call to Dr. Asasa.

Hope this is a safe trip. Amen. I prayed silently in my heart.

In other words, no matter how powerful Conan's aura of death is, it will not sink this real destroyer, and this ship is neither a cruise ship, nor does its name start with T. I've been with Conan for a long time, and it's really easy to think too much, alas...... I couldn't help but sigh when I thought of this.

Ignoring Dr. Asasa at all~~ not to talk about the bad jokes, we quickly lined up and boarded the Zeus ship called "Hotaka". It's American, but the name is really close to Japan.

Electronic devices are not allowed to be brought on this kind of military site as usual, which made Conan nervous a little during the security check, after all, as long as he checked carefully, it was something that would "beep-beep" loudly. Fortunately, it passed without danger.

Soon after boarding the ship, the warship slowly sailed away from the dock and headed for the predetermined route, while we, the tourists, were taken to a large conference room, where a third-class lieutenant briefed everyone on the process of the naval exercise and the division of areas on the ship, simply telling us which places we could go and which places we could not go. This is not a joke, this destroyer is not a tattered after being decommissioned, but a warship in service, with combat capability, it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers Japan's military secrets, if it breaks in and is considered a spy by others, then there is really no place to reason.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Conan.

Conan's face was eager to try.

I want to......

Huh...... Forget it, I'd better follow him.

After that, we were taken all the way to the CIC of the warship, that is, the combat command center, which made me a little surprised by the courage of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, because in any case, the combat command center is indeed the most important core part of the warship, and in the face of the general public, it is indeed bold to open the warship to such a point and not be afraid of spies and the like. Looking at the recruitment of soldiers for the promotion of the Self-Defense Forces this time, the Maritime Self-Defense Force is also fighting. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but pout.

"Enter the anti-air battle! Aim at the CIC designation! Start attacking!"

"Prepare for a single gun!"

"Mk45Mod4, ready to launch!"

......

Although the members of the command center issued various combat orders in an orderly manner, which filled the scene with an exciting and tense atmosphere, I am sorry, but in the eyes of us tourists, after their combat orders were issued, the effect presented to us was that the slow arrows on the electronic screen floated past, and then a small dot called a target, ah no, an enemy plane, disappeared in a few flashes...... Maybe you don't understand it well, but Yuantai and Ayumi's feelings will probably be more intuitive-

"It's like playing a game!"

"Can we do that too?"

Although it is inconvenient for adults to speak, the words of children undoubtedly represent the thoughts of most people. I leaned against the doorframe of the command room, watching the hustle and go about the guys inside, and I felt a little bored. Although I haven't seen a regular navy before, but I've seen pirates and mercenaries, those people give me a completely different feeling from the people in front of me, of course, I'm not saying that pirates or mercenaries are more well-trained than the regular army, in fact, those guys are much worse than these soldiers in front of me, all of them are lazy and lazy, and there are not a few people in the flow, but I intuitively know that if the Caribbean Sea of these people in front of me suddenly meets the pirates, these guys in front of me may be more than lucky. It's not that the equipment is not good enough, it's not that the personnel training is not good enough, it's temperament. The temperament of these people is fundamentally different from that of those of the outlaws. It's like a wolf that has never eaten a person and a wolf who has eaten a man, the difference in ferocity is too far, and these people are not murderous.

Suddenly, I felt a slight tremor in my sleeve. I couldn't help but look back.

Well, even if it's not murderous, it's quite scary for some people, such as Mayu.

However, this soon took a turn. Unidentified objects appeared in the radar, non-organic creatures, sending friend or foe identification signals without response, and approaching the position of the warship straight!

The battle that was plausible just now is divided into instant tension!

"Start the torpedo system!"

"Stop!

"Stop when the bow is aimed at the target!"

The change in atmosphere couldn't help but make my eyes light up slightly: these guys seem to have some dry goods......

Not only me, but also the tourists who were still visiting were clearly aware of the change in the atmosphere, and the atmosphere began to become lively.

Soon, the captain who was originally on the bridge also rushed to the command room to personally command, it seems that this time it should not be an exercise, but a real accident.

I looked at Conan, and it was clear that he was aware that something was wrong, and his face was nervous.

Please, don't run out, I looked at the door, it's okay, I'm at the door, if Conan comes running, I'll be able to intercept him.

I was a little relieved not to see Conan running over, and the speed of the warship rapidly increased as we could perceive it, and the hull began to shake slightly. So one of the "little hamsters" next to me shivered even more......

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mayu, it's just a drill, drill ......" I patted Mayu's little head and soothed her.

"Well, I'm not afraid!" shook his head vigorously!

I'm not afraid that you will open your eyes......

It seems that it is afraid of causing international problems, and for this thing of unknown origin and no response to the signal, the warship did not rashly attack, but played hide and seek, and always kept a safe distance from it.

However, the stalemate did not last long, and the true form of the unknown object was revealed under the flash torpedo ordered by the captain, and it appeared to be an abandoned fishing boat floating with the current.

Under normal circumstances, this should be just an accident, because this is the Sea of Japan, which is quite close to the Japanese mainland, and Maizuru, as a military center in Japan, has a large number of warships stationed, even if a war is to be started, no fool will come back and take the initiative to touch this kind of place, but considering Conan's attributes...... It's really hard to say.

Hawkers,Forget it.,Anyway, this kind of military affairs are not in my hands.,I guess there's nothing Conan can show.,The final thing at the moment.,Sure enough, let's talk about it first.。 After holding on to the real reason for falling into my arms for the aftermath of the torpedo, I was slightly intoxicated by the soft feeling of the fragrance.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai didn't come.

So after the danger was cleared, our exercise tour ended without anyone noticing any accidents, and everyone had a great time, of course, I was very satisfied with the first time I saw the state of the regular navy, but Conan was ...... Just now, except for the captain, he was the most nervous.

After visiting the command room, we were free to take photos on the deck. So the children cheered and scattered, and even the real reason that had been following me was pulled around by Ayumi, and I had nothing to do, so I had to stroll to the side of the deck and watch the undulating waves, and I was stunned.

The hull of the ship undulates slightly under the push of the waves, swaying slightly like a cradle, accompanied by a slight sea breeze, giving people a subtle sense of reassurance. Today's weather is very good, there are not many clouds, and the sun's light hits the sea surface directly, and is crumpled in the water little by little by the undulating waves, turning into dazzling points of light that flash and flash, which is extremely beautiful.

Looking at the deep blue, my heart slowly calmed down.

Speak-softly,love-and-hold-me-warm-against-your-heart,I-feel-your-words,the-tender-trembling-moments-start......

It seemed as if someone was singing such a melody in my ear, low, tactful, melodious, and faintly hoarse, as if it wereβ€”yes, like the faint waves of the Mediterranean, which reminded me of the beauty of Sicily.

Ah, that's the tune. It's only been more than two years, but now that I think about it, it seems like it's been a lifetime.

"Yo!"

There was a sudden tap on the shoulder, and I turned my head, and Conan's face came into view.

"Why are you staying here alone? Come and take pictures, there's a female self-defense officer!"

"Female self-defense officers?" I frowned slightly, the percentage of female self-defense officers in the Maritime Self-Defense Force was only 4%, and it was really unusual to see them here.

Follow Conan to everyone's gathering place, and saw a female self-defense officer with an embarrassed expression, I looked at Conan with a funny look, eighty percent of him was caught by curiosity, and in front of everyone's eyes, people are not good at treating him as a child, in other words, since Conan became a child, it seems that he knows more and more how to use the advantages of children to be coquettish and cute, it's really shameless, tsk......

"Why are you looking at me like that, I'm just curious. Conan looked a little annoyed by my playful gaze.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand. I casually perfunctory him.

"Xiaohui, come here! I'm waiting for you!" Xiaolan beckoned to me in the distance.

"Okay!Sister Xiaolan, I'm coming~~" I replied with a sweet smile.

So Conan's eyes became the same as I had just been......

When I got closer, the rank of the female self-defense officer was simply blinding to my eyes, and the first-class Haiza, that is, the colonel, estimated that the rank of this destroyer ship was like this, right? And it was a woman, which was even rarer among the rare, if it was just such a small sightseeing exercise, there was no need for this kind of god to appear......

I can't help but worry a little about the safety of this trip. It seems that I still underestimated Conan's aura.

Sure enough, as soon as the photo was over, Conan immediately entangled himself with the female self-defense officer, and all kinds of splatters and cute sets were almost. Then I saw that Conan's fruitful Uncle Maori was also entangled, so I said, these filthy adults......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the skilled Conan who was dressed in tender clothes.

Filthy Adult......

"Minghui-san, what's wrong, are there any bugs here?" asked Mayu, who came to me, looking a little timidly from left to right.

"Why do you ask?" I wondered.

"Because you just ...... With a disgusted expression...... "Mayu squirmed.

"Ahaha...... No, no, you read it wrong. I pinched my face and laughed dryly.

As I was talking, a pile of shiny gold things were scattered all over the place, and I picked them up with some curiosity, and it turned out to be some shiny gold cards, which seemed to be business cards.

"How stupid is it for a dirty guy to do such a thing......" I muttered as I glanced at it.

Detective Kogoro Mori.

This...... Let's just say it.

Looking around weakly, Uncle Maori was holding his shiny golden business card and talking to the female self-defense officer just now. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Let's help pick it up.

"Mitsuhiko, lend me the digital camera you just took a picture of. Seeing the female self-defense officer walking away, Conan rolled his eyes and said to Mitsuhiko.

"Okay. ”

Conan grabbed his camera and ran to the side.

"Where are you going, Conan?" asked Ayumi a little strangely.

"Toilet!"

"What is that guy going to the toilet to shoot?" asked the people around him.

"Poof!" Hearing Yuan Tai's words, I couldn't help but squirt!

Stifling a smile, I stood up and ran towards Conan.

"Ah, Minghui-san......" Ayumi looked at me in surprise.

"I'll go to the toilet too, and I'll see what Conan is going to shoot by the way, hahahaha......" I replied with a smile.

"Oh, well, come back and tell us!" Motota didn't seem to notice anything wrong with what he had just said.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Conan, who was hiding in the corner to avoid everyone's attention, stared at me with his dead fish eyes.

"Well, at the request of Yuantai, let's see what you are going to the toilet with your camera...... Ha ha. "I wanted to be as serious as possible, but I couldn't help it.

"Hey, don't be so evil, okay?"

"What do you call me evil, obviously evil things are all done by you?"

"Huh...... Forget it, so be it. With a deep sigh, Conan seemed to have given up arguing with me, which made me feel a little regretful.

"I just want the doctors to help me check the identity of the female self-defense officer through the photo just now, you can also notice it, that person's identity is probably not ordinary. Maybe something will happen. Conan said as he flipped through the photos.

"Ah, probably, but you don't have a mobile phone on you, how can you send the photo over?"

"That's not a problem," Conan, who found the photo, grinned at me, "The doctor has developed a new product for me, so that my watch also has a phone function and flash memory." He squeezed his watch a few times, "Doctor, can you hear me?"

"Ah, Shinichi, what's the matter?"

"Well, I sent a photo to Gray Yuan's phone, you can help me check the identity of this person. Conan's tone became serious.

Really, it's really fun to make a phone call here with such a big grin, in case someone sees it. After looking around, there didn't seem to be a monitor, so I stepped around the corner, pretending to be looking at the scenery, and helped Conan control the wind.

After a while, Conan came out of the corner: "Thanks." ”

"And I have no thanks. I gave Conan a blank look: "Hurry up!"

"What's the hurry?" Conan was puzzled.

"Are you sure there are no monitoring instruments on this warship? This is a warship!" I deliberately accentuated the word warship.

"Ah, that's right, sorry, let's go. Conan patted his head with some annoyance.

Sure enough, not long after we blended into the crowd, two staff members arrived at the place where Conan had just called, as if to investigate something. I glanced at Conan with some rejoicing, and noticed that Conan's expression was a little solemn.

After a while, seeing the staff just leave, Conan couldn't help but want to follow him again.

"Conan, where are you going?" Ayumi looked at Conan who ran away in surprise.

"Toilet. ”

"Go to the toilet again?!"

Counting the time before the ship, it's already the third time, and Conan doesn't know how to find a better reason.

"Wait, Conan, I'll go too. "I just wanted to follow, but Xiaolan rushed ahead of me and spoke.

Seeing Conan reluctantly being pulled away by Xiaolan, I was also relieved, Conan would never take Xiaolan on an adventure. Looks like I've been free for a while.

This time there is probably some trouble, although there have been no problems so far, but the problem of dispatching the first rank Suita to deal with it is destined not to be a trivial matter, and then think of it as a warship here, maybe there is a problem within the Self-Defense Forces, etc., if the woman's military rank is fake...... A fake officer who dared to blend in with a bunch of regular soldiers on a warship made me shudder to think about it, which was even more serious than the previous first-class Haizo's problem.

I hope it doesn't work, otherwise it will be difficult for me to protect everyone.

I looked at the sea, thinking about all kinds of questions, all kinds of entanglements.

Suddenly, I remembered the inexplicable clerk yesterday, the suspicious lollipop. The familiar feeling of nausea, what is going on?

When I took out the lollipop I was carrying, I looked at it carefully, and the huge lollipop was crystal clear, with dots of golden light like stars in it, which looked very attractive. I took out the real one and compared it.,Except for the different colors.,It seems to be the same.,It should be made by the same manufacturer.。

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the one who grabbed Xiao Loli's lollipop or something, I just borrowed it temporarily for research, it should be said that the person who gave us the lollipop is Bentai! In broad daylight, I actually sent Xiao Zhengtai and Xiao Loli lollipops, so Hongguoguo's bentai behavior should be directly pulled out and shot ten times!

But the familiar feeling of nausea still made me a little concerned. I carefully recalled the appearance of the waiter, and carefully screened it in my memory, well, I still don't know it.

In this case, if my judgment is correct, it is very correct that that person should be the face of the public. Forget it, it's useless to think so much now, let's go back and let Xiao Ai see the ingredients of this lollipop.

Thinking of this, I silently put the lollipop back in my pocket. I turned my head slightly, and found a handsome little boy standing not far from me, looking at the sea like me, silent, looking very melancholy.

"My name is Akiki, Edogawa Akiki, what's your name?"

"Huh?" In the face of my accosting, the little boy turned his head, and a trace of surprise flashed in his black eyes: "Courage, Amamiya courage." ”

"Oh, Courage-kun, are you here with your family?" I said to him as I looked out to sea.

"Hmm...... Well, and...... Father. Courage's tone was a little hesitant, and he looked at the sea as much as I did.

"You don't look happy, huh?"

"No, it's ...... Happy. ”

"Yes," I said, glancing at Courage, the boy more wary than I had thought, "where's your father?"

"Dad, there's something to do, let me wait for him here. ”

"Oh, yes? Isn't Dad scared when he's not around? Why don't I go to Uncle Self-Defense Officer and ask me to help find your father?"

"No! no!" Originally, it was just a sentence, but I didn't expect the courage to react unusually strongly: "Say ...... Say it!"

"Say...... What?" I didn't understand what he meant.

"I ......" Courage was silent for a moment, looked up at me and said, "I can do it alone!"

"Ah, yes, it's courageous!" I smiled.

"Huh?"

"But if you have anything, you can ask me for help!"

"Hmm...... Well. ”

It can be seen that courage is very important, and the defense is also very heavy, but it doesn't matter, a little boy at this age is very heavy-minded, and I am just to relieve his boredom, not to force him to do something. If he wants to tell me, I will, and if he doesn't say it, I won't force it.

Seeing that I didn't ask anything further, Courage was obviously relieved. Looking at me with some curiosity: "Are you a child star?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you're so good-looking. ”

"Courage, it's rude to praise a boy for being good-looking. ”

"Hug ...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, just kidding. I smiled at him.

After chatting a little, the words of courage gradually increased, although the voice was a little hoarse, but it was a healthy and lively child, but his body was a little weak.

......

"Oh, you're allergic to milk, no wonder you look a little weak. ”

"Well, I usually carry anti-itch medicine with me, and this is it. Courage said as he showed me the capsule-like medicine he had with him.

"That's ......"

"Courage, you're here, helicopter take-off is going on over there, come with me to see it. "While we were talking, a man in his thirties and forties, wearing a shoulder bag, with glasses, walked up to us.

Courage's face changed instantly, and he lowered his head suddenly.

"Your father?" I looked at Courage.

Courage hesitated and nodded.

"Your dad abused you?"

Shake your head violently.

"Now, courage, if you want to say anything, just say to me, I'll help you, are we friends? And don't forget, there's a warship here, and there are a lot of military uncles, don't be afraid, the last thing you lack is courage, right?" I winked at courage.

β€œ...... Well. Courage looked like he wanted to say something, but when he saw the man coming, he quickly lowered his head again and stopped talking.

"Hello uncle, I'm Minghui, my new friend of Courage, let's go see the helicopter together, shall we?" I said to the man, holding Courage's hand.

"Okay, let's go. The man was stunned for a moment, and then responded, because the reaction of courage was very strange, I carefully observed the change of the man's expression, and sure enough, I found the indifference in his eyes, maybe I saw that I was a child so I was not guarded, the indifference behind the false warmth made me see very clearly.

It's not a father's look. My father never looked at me like that.

This person is either not a father of courage, or a ghost father who does not take courage at all as his own child.

PS: Well, let's blow up the corpse to show that we haven't abandoned the pit yet. It doesn't look like there's a year change yet, and it's much better than the lifetime series, isn't it, hahahaha......
