Fifteen - Time for the younger generations
"Yuehuajun, you always feel like you're more deenergetic than this afternoon?"
"No, there is no such thing, even if I say that, you can't believe it, right? Sister Yukino. ”
Starting from the counting of the number of people, I stood in the queue on the side of the high-ranking personnel and listened to the lecture of Kong Ciren, who was the supreme person in charge of the voyage. After that, when the members boarded their respective ships, they worked with Tachibana Yukino to conduct a final inspection, with Tachibana Yukino in charge of counting the supplies arriving on the ship, and Ji Yuehua, an advisor to the Technology Development Bureau, quickly checking the operation of various parts of the ship.
After the end of the work, nominally, until tomorrow morning, it will be on standby. At dinner time, because Tachibana Yukino came over and sat next to him, he was constantly glared at by Kong Ciren, who came to sit down, followed by Kenneth, who was holding a plate in his hand but had a straight face, and a middle-aged adjutant who didn't say a word.
I can't say I'm busy, but my spirit is really tense.
By the time it really calmed down, it was late at night, about eleven o'clock, and during this time, he received a message from Bayi Yonglin, saying that he had added some things to his warehouse and asked him to check it himself. At this time, Ji Yuehua had already gotten off work from the Technology Development Bureau, had dinner with her two sisters, and should have even taken a shower, stayed in the room in pajamas, and chatted with her two sisters before going to bed.
Standing on the deck of the ship, leaning on the railing, his eyes looking at the Coastal Defense Headquarters where a little light could still be seen in the distance. Judging by the voice, Yukino Tachibana was walking towards him.
I've talked to Tachibana Yukino a lot of times.,And I often ask the other party about the troubles in my heart.,I've long regarded her as one of the people who is quite close.,There's nothing to hide.。
Ji Yuehua turned her head and replied honestly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly became idle, and I stood here alone." began to strongly realize that from now on, he might not see Sister Zi and Sister Yonglin for three months, and he was just a little unaccustomed to it. ”
"People who stay together every day suddenly don't see each other, even if it's only a brief separation, it takes a while to get used to it again. I can't say I don't understand this feeling. ”
"Is it a matter of separating from Yukino's sister and your sister?"
"Hmm. If it had been me six years ago, I probably never thought there would be such a day, right? Entrusting my sister to a friend, but running away alone, in a strange environment, gambling with the life of a hideous alien creature Speaking of this, in fact, I really envy you a little. Not only did the two sisters come to settle in the military headquarters with you, but they also made friends with the director of the Bayi Bureau who was about the same age in just a few moments. When I first came here, I spent all my time with people who were much older than me, right?"
is as beautiful as a daughter's day doll, inadvertently revealing a trace of loneliness. It was an emotion that Tachibana Yukino rarely showed even in front of Kong Ciren.
Because of the relative age difference. And it's a close friend, so some words can be easily spoken. On the contrary, if the other party is a person who is too close to him, because he has been taken care of a lot, sometimes it is not suitable to reveal his heart at this point, whether it is Tachibana Yukino or Ji Yuehua.
When Ji Yuehua was confused, she was the first to reveal her heart, and after that. Tachibana Yukino doesn't mind talking about herself either, and it's on this that the relationship between the two is built.
Although Kong Ciren's eyes are very terrifying. But first of all, Ji Yuehua, who was still young, couldn't figure out what he was talking about. All in all, as long as you don't "shoot", right? He had no intention of ending this comfortable friendship with Yukino Tachibana.
"On the contrary, I just followed my sisters to the military headquarters. The encounter with Sister Yonglin, it was also an accident, even now, I don't know why Sister Yonglin would help me in the first place. ”
"Don't really have a clue?" Tachibana Yukino smiled and blinked.
"Okay. Or maybe I really have a clue."
remembered the day he passed the military assessment, Bayi Yonglin asked himself questions in the corridor. Although it is not 100% certain that the impact of that incident will be great, it seems a bit impossible to say that it is irrelevant.
There was no way to resist Tachibana Yukino's gaze, Ji Yuehua moved her gaze to the sea level behind her, "But. I said in advance, "I'm so miserable now" or something, but I didn't think about it once. Not only does Sister Zi and their love, Teacher Long Fei's teaching, but also Sister Yonglin's care, now I am happier than many people, and I am still conscious of this matter. ”
"It doesn't matter if you want to be separated from your sisters and Director Bayi for a while?"
"Since it's all said to be temporary, what else can I do but grit my teeth and endure it? Compared with the situation on the other side of Sister Xue Nai, it's not a problem for just three months. ”
After all, after all, this is not the first time that I have parted with my two sisters.
On the eve of his examination for the military department, in the days when he was injured by Yayun Zi's hand, Ji Yuehua had already tried to borrow it from Bayun Yonglin for more than ten days. On this voyage, although I couldn't even see Bayi Yonglin, because of the relationship between the boss and the subordinates, I could still contact them through video calls.
Moreover, no matter how you say it, at least there is a familiar friend of Tachibana Yukino by her side, and it is difficult to say that she is very lonely. The first expedition to the sea was, at best, a little unaccustomed.
"Hehe, compared to more than half a year ago, Yuehuajun, you have also begun to become very reliable. I wanted to comfort you, but I was too worried. ”
Thinking back to Ji Yuehua who walked into the tea room with a sad face and asked for help that day, and then looked at someone who was now pinned to the adjutant's armband and wearing a white coat, Tachibana Yukinai couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile softly.
In the midst of official work, I have definitely grown up, and the little child who was always timid and easily depressed no longer exists. Or rather, it is gradually disappearing.
"However, speaking of people close to me, I haven't visited Teacher Long Fei for a long time."
Looking up at the starry night sky, I thought about something else.
When you are desperately chasing after it, you can't feel the passage of time. finally got his wish and crossed the dividing line, but unconsciously plunged headlong into the busy official business. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye, leaving no room for redemption.
"After this mission, I will take leave to go back to the "Qinglan" area privately, right?"
Completely unprepared for an answer, Ji Yuehua muttered softly.
Anyway, he has only taken one day off this year, and there should be a lot of vacation left in his hands. Because of the acquiescence of Bayi Yonglin, the work that his subordinates can handle has gradually increased, and it doesn't matter if he, the adjutant, takes a day off. If it's a visit to the teacher, Bayi Yonglin shouldn't object, right?
(The last time I received a letter from Mr. Long Fei should be half a month ago, I don't know how Mr. Long Fei is doing now?)
Facing a gust of sea breeze, Ji Yuehua thought silently in her heart.
