Chapter 47, the girls' Yamato (middle)

Anyway, with that piece of sweet cream cake as a medium, Minako Akiyama and Shizuka Jukawa talked very enthusiastically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Through the inquisitive skills honed over many years of geisha career, Minako Akiyama quickly found out the details of Shizuka Jukawa.

- This blonde cow who seems to be very stupid and happy, claims to be from a famous medical school in Tokyo, and when he first graduated, he also used to mix well in a big hospital in Tokyo, but soon encountered bad luck (Akiyama Minako was very suspicious that it was because of her IQ to catch chickens, or because her milk was too big to prevent surgery), and was kicked out of Tokyo and ran to a small country place called "Bed Master" (Akiyama Minako had never heard of this place name, but the Kanto region was too far away from Hiroshima, It's normal that there's something she hasn't heard of), and she works as a school doctor at a school.

More than a year later, the school where Shizuka Jukawa worked as the head of the bed was also finished-Minako Akiyama thought it was a natural disaster such as an earthquake and flood, but according to Shizuka Jukawa's vague description, it seemed to be more like a student riot...... After the school was abandoned, Shizuka Jukawa, a female school doctor with nowhere to go and homeless, had to go around and around, and finally ran to Coral Island in the South Seas (Minako Akiyama understood that a certain female team was drafted into the navy, which could both comfort and heal), although it was hot and boring, but the food and clothing were good (Minako Akiyama understood that the treatment of the navy comfort station was very good). Not long ago, he returned to the mainland with the Combined Fleet. I happened to be idle today, so I came to the celebration site to be a volunteer guest chef......

Almost in an instant, Minako Akiyama made up millions of words in her mind "The Story of the Fall of a Wealthy Lady", and Shizuka Jukawa is the famous lady female doctor in this tragic novel, who was ruined and lost to Nanyang and became a naval comfort woman, but is still optimistic and cheerful...... All of a sudden, out of sympathy for "the same people who have fallen from the end of the world", Minako Akiyama, a senior geisha, looked at Shizuka Jukawa, a blonde cow, and became much more pleasing and kind.

And her daughter Suzuko Akiyama fell in love with this generous blonde aunt all at once, because Shizuka Jukawa was always able to constantly take out some small sweets such as biscuits, konpeis, and chocolates from her pocket, which made this kimono Lori scream with joy...... It also made Minako Akiyama can't help but secretly swallow and spit - she hasn't tasted these things for a long time! However, although her daughter has turned into a little gluttonous cat, she still remembers to honor her mother, and she has not forgotten to stuff a few pieces of dessert from Shizuka Jukawa into her mother's mouth. So for a while, they were happy.

In the midst of the small talk and sharing desserts between the three of them, His Excellency Keno Kurita, the Minister of the Navy on the viewing platform, finally ended his stinking and long speech. Then, to the sound of the "March of the Warships", a group of sailors in snow-white uniforms walked through the trestle and gangway in order to board the Kii, the fifth Yamato-class battleship that had just been launched...... Kimono Lori Akiyama Suzuko looked at this scene curiously and enviously, and suddenly said in a milky voice, "...... Mom! Mom! When I grow up, will I be able to live on that big warship? ”

“…… Silly boy, stop dreaming! How could the Navy make a woman a sailor? Minako Akiyama touched her little head with a funny look, but then comforted her, "...... However, when the war is over, maybe you will have a chance to get on that warship and see it......"

-- Like the U.S. Imperial Navy in later generations, the old Japanese Empire in peacetime had a system of opening up some of its ships to the public (such as the Nagato, the main flagship of the former Yamato), in order to demonstrate military prestige and cultivate national pride. But in the war years, it is clear that such a thing could not have happened......

“…… Maybe you won't have to wait that long! Suzu-chan! Shizuka Jukawa suddenly interjected mysteriously, but before Minako Akiyama could react, she was pushed with a smile, "...... Let's go eat first! How about a taste of the Italian pasta I made? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I don't know how long it's been since I've tasted that much food!

This free lunch provided by the Navy to the visiting citizens is really unexpectedly rich!

The appetizer is pasta with pastrami, onion and tomato sauce, which is served in small paper cups, and many hungry citizens swallow almost the whole macaroni in one bite before slowly recalling the sweetness of the onion and the rich aroma of pastrami.

The staple food is red bean bread, each weighing half a kilogram, and there is a lot of sugar in it, but just smelling it makes people feel happy.

The next highlight is a large piece of fragrant croquette for each person, which is fragrant from afar, and when you bite into it, you break the slightly crispy crust and the fragrant gravy seasoned with salt and pepper spreads in your mouth, filling your mouth with an indescribable deliciousness.

Each person was then given a canned salted sardine, but the vast majority were reluctant to eat it on the spot and carefully stuffed it into their handbags. Then there were drinks, with men receiving a bottle of beer and women and children getting a bottle of lemonade. For dessert, each person will have a canned fruit and a piece of cream cake, and finally, a small portion of kinpeito in an oiled paper bag for citizens to take away after a meal.

When receiving lunch, you need to rely on the ration book, and every time you receive a meal, you will knock a stamp on the ration book, so that there are no shameful people who eat more and take more.

In addition, in a huge cylindrical metal pot, there is an all-you-can-eat hot soup of Western-style vegetables, so anyone can enjoy it to their heart's content.

After a hearty meal, Minako Akiyama and Suzuko Akiyama lazily recline on a bench on the side of the road, stroking their almost bulging bellies, enjoying the long-lost feeling of fullness, while their minds are still immersed in the wonderful world created by all kinds of delicious foods - although it is all navy-style fashionable Western food, rather than the Japanese food they are more accustomed to, who would be so picky in this era of scarcity?

After squinting her eyes so happily for a moment, Minako Akiyama sat up straight with a yawn, and then looked down and checked the day's catch in her handbag: two bottles of lemonade, two packets of kinpeito, two canned salted tuna, two canned fruits, and a piece of leftover red bean bread—a large amount of bread that she and her daughter could eat more than enough for one person.

Satisfied, she counted these fine foods that were very rare in wartime, and after a little hesitation, Minako Akiyama opened one of the bottles of lemonade with the mini bottle opener on the keychain, and let her daughter Suzuko Akiyama drink a small half bottle before pouring it into her mouth, and a refreshing sweetness suddenly spread in her mouth, making her squint happily again-alas, alas, the date was a little late, and this year's cherry blossoms had already withered last week. Otherwise, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms while eating these good things......

However, her daughter's next unintentional words made Minako Akiyama's happiness index decrease a lot at once.

“…… Mom! Today's lunch was so luxurious! Wouldn't it be nice if you could eat this kind of food every day in the future? ”

Kimono Lori Akiyama Suzuko muttered like this while naturally placing her hands on her slightly bulging satiety lower abdomen.

“…… Eat such luxurious cuisine every day? Hehe, Suzuko-chan is so greedy! Don't daydream about this impossible! ”

Listening to her daughter's stupid words, Minako Akiyama was angry and funny for a while, and couldn't help but bend her fingers and flick her forehead.

Not to mention the war period when living materials were extremely scarce, even in the pre-war peacetime, even if she was already a well-paid geisha, as long as she had not yet reached the level of Oiran, the general daily diet was only white rice, pickled vegetables and tofu soup, and a small fish could be added to dinner. As for all kinds of fruit pastries, wine and delicacies, they can only taste a little bit when they meet a big high-roller who has a lot of money.

Alas, now that his house has been blown up, and the Kure Port Town Guard Mansion is also in ruins, I heard that the naval fleet will soon be transferred to Sasebo, Maizuru, and Nanyang, and those naval officers and men who can afford to spend money will naturally follow. If you don't have these old customers, how will you and Suzuko live in the future? Even if you want to continue to be a geisha, you don't have a place to do business, and you don't have a benefactor to support you!

Do you really want to join the women's standing up team and go to Nanyang to be a comfort woman? However, not to mention that this path is not feasible at the moment -- I heard that Okinawa, the Philippines, and Taiwan have all fallen. And once she is gone, what will Suzuko-chan do? If she is left in Japan, there is simply no reliable person who can entrust her. If you take your daughter with you, you're worried that Suzuko will be forced to pick up guests in the comfort station in the future.

Although as a descendant of a family of geisha, Minako Akiyama doesn't mind her daughter going down the same life path as herself, but definitely not now! Suzuko is only twelve years old now, and she is extremely petite, and if she picks up customers right away, she will definitely be stuck alive......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Just when Minako Akiyama was so sad, a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears.

“…… Suzuko-chan, do you want to eat navy Western cuisine every day? This doesn't have to be impossible! ”

Then, she saw that Miss Shizuka Marukawa, who was obviously blond but claimed to be Japanese, stood by her side at some point.

At this moment, Shizuka Jukawa had already taken off her bloated chef's uniform, revealing the long Western skirt underneath. The dazzling blonde hair and the blue-white satin lace complement each other, highlighting the plump breasts ♀ of the peach heart neckline, making the already very exaggerated cleavage ♀ look even deeper, and the unkempt skirt also flutters gently with her footsteps, looking almost like an actress from a Western opera.

――Such a blonde cow can also be of Yamato Nadeshiko blood, which is beautiful with poor ♀ breasts? This style of painting is obviously wrong!

The next moment, I saw Shizuka Jukawa smiling and handing over two beautifully framed leaflets, Minako Akiyama took them with a suspicious face, and then she was immediately stunned: "...... Admission notice to the Navy Girls' Preschool School? There is also a recruitment notice for a female school worker on board...... Is this a joke? ”

Although she thought she could read every word of the two proclamations, her mind showed that she could not understand the meaning at all—this was the navy! It is traditionally believed that going to sea with a woman will attract a bad navy! Now they are going to recruit women on warships?!!

In short, Minako Akiyama has a hard time imagining that this could be true, preferring to think of it as some kind of unsophisticated prank.

“…… Ahh Absolutely! Mrs. Akiyama, and the cute Suzuko-chan! Shizuka Jukawa shook her finger in a pretended cuteness, then leaned her head over and asked, "...... By the way, Mrs. Akiyama, I heard you just say that you seem to have learned to play the trumpet and play the guitar. ”

“…… Ah, yes. Know a little bit about it. Minako Akiyama nodded inexplicably, there was a time when jazz music was popular in Japan, so in order to please her guests, she also taught herself a little, and the teacher was one of her guests, a military musician of the Japanese Navy......

“…… That's amazing! I'm missing a Western military band on my ship right now! Knocking too much on a steel warship to preach the snail and play the shamisen or something, it feels really unstylish! Just like a water thief in the Warring States period, Satoka-chan has complained to me many times......"

The stupid and cute Shizuka Jukawa continued to say all kinds of things that Minako Akiyama couldn't understand at all, and finally clapped her hands violently, as if she had thought of something, "...... By the way, if you can't make a decision for a while, why don't you go to the warship where I work now? Stopping by for dinner? It's a big and famous boat! It's the same type of warship that was launched today, and it used to be the flagship of the Combined Fleet! ”

For these brainless words, Minako Akiyama's mind turned several times before she finally grasped the key content, and suddenly her eyes were as round as a cat's eyes, and the whole person was deeply shocked: "...... Nani?!! Total flagship?! Do you mean...... Yamato?!! ”

ps: If you think about it carefully, the Xiangrui Lianmeng world line of the Snow Wind Ship and Admiral Higashihara is really a bit too terrifying, and I feel that I am afraid that my pen power may not be able to control it - if the Yellowstone volcano erupts, several states will be swallowed by lava at the first time, and then most of North America will be covered by volcanic ash, and then it will be like the extinction of the dinosaurs, the global temperature will drop by ten degrees, the total collapse of global agriculture, and the destruction caused by the war, everyone will have to eat people to live. World War II is estimated to be the end of the world, and then a group of middle two sick ship girls and self-propelled natural disasters Xiangrui Admiral will rule the "stupid old humans". Moreover, if you want to write about the snow wind, you will write it to the country, and if you write about it, it will be harmonized, so you can only give up this theme.

Now there's a new idea to combine "Aphrol the Dreadnought" and "The Maidens of the Galaxy" into one. Let the male protagonist cross into the red holy ship Aphrol's ship cat, a hairy ship girl and a cat with a red flag to launch a world revolution and liberate stupid human beings......
