The Journey of Finding My Mother and Me

Finally, the first step towards rebuilding the Minato area has been taken!

They were looking forward to tomorrow's battle, feeling extremely excited.

If it was an ordinary ship girl, they would definitely ignore this excitement and spend the night according to the usual rhythm-then in the middle of the night, they would be surprised to find that they had insomnia and couldn't fall asleep at all.

Even if he managed to fall asleep, his mental state would not be very good when he actually went to the battlefield the next day.

Except for Kuibyshev, among the ships that Chen Su can command now, all of them are extremely experienced. Even a seemingly heartless child like Little Santiago knows that he needs to adjust his mood tonight.

Rest early and face tomorrow's battle with the fullest energy.

This is the first battle in three years. You must not be ashamed, and you must impress the commander!

And Kuibyshev, also under Odin's reminder, realized that she should adjust her emotions, but after all, she had no experience, and she didn't know what she should do for a while.

So she naturally decided to refer to the practices of other ship girls in the villa.

But it didn't go well.

Playing games with Long Island, and being dismissed as too good; chatting with Atago about cosmetics, and found that I couldn’t understand what she was talking about; cleaning the villa with Sheffield, and being complained was lagging behind Sirius...

Um?Who is Sirius?

Forget it, never mind, anyway, I am not suitable for cleaning the villa.

Kuibyshev wandered around the dacha several times, but couldn't find a job that suited him.

A little frustrated, she wandered into the kitchen like this.

"Huh? Kuibyshev, help me!" Mikasa, who was busy in the kitchen, saw Kuibyshev dangling at the door, and her eyes lit up.

"Okay!" Kuibyshev replied subconsciously, and then walked into the kitchen.

It wasn't until she walked into the kitchen and saw Mikasa, Quincy, Atlanta and others busy in front of various pots, stoves, boards and sinks that she came to her senses belatedly—she couldn't cook either!

To be precise, he is not very good at Donghuang vegetables and heavy cherry vegetables.

Seems like there's nothing I can do to help, right?

Kuibyshev was a little hesitant, she felt that she was also a hindrance here.

At this moment, Mikasa's voice sounded: "Kuybyshev, can you help me wash the rice and cook?"

Wash rice for cooking?

Kuibyshev's eyes lit up immediately, he was really capable of this job...

As long as it's not cooking.

Kuibyshev nodded and walked towards the rice bag, but Mikasa waved and pointed at the sink: "The rice is ready."

Ready?

Kuibyshev was taken aback, and hurried to the sink to have a look, and suddenly found that just as Mikasa said, all the rice was lying in the basin.

Even the water was connected.

This is not right!

It's like waiting for myself to wash rice!

Kuibyshev felt that the preparation was too much, and quickly turned his head to look at Mikasa who was wearing an apron in front of the stove, sweating profusely, and asked softly: "Mikasa, did you...arrange me to do this on purpose? "

Mikasa, who was busy cooking, did not answer.

Quincy, who was chopping vegetables, raised his head, looked at Kuibyshev with a puzzled face, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "You saw it! Um... I should be in charge of washing rice, thank you for helping me."

"Did you prepare the rice and water?"

"Yes!"

"Well... it's been hard work."

"It's nothing, it's all for everyone~"

Quincy's smile made Kuibyshev feel a little calmer, but she still didn't understand why Mikasa asked Quincy, who was half prepared, to chop vegetables, and called herself to take over the rice washing.

The reason Mikasa gave just now was that he was too busy...but with so many people in the kitchen, it didn't look like he was too busy.

"It's actually not that complicated," Rodney, who also came to help in the kitchen today, said after pouring the sliced ​​potato chips into the burnt oil, "It's just that we think you need help."

With a crackling sound, the royal fries came out of the pan.

"I need help?" Kuibyshev still didn't understand.

"You are looking for a job that suits you, so adjust your mentality," Mikasa finally explained, "You have passed by our kitchen door several times... Huh, Leander, I will leave the rest to you."

After handing over the work at hand to Leander, Mikasa wiped her hands, turned around, and explained to Kuibyshev with a smile: "I guess you have tried various methods, but in the end you have not adjusted your mood, so I decided to ask you to try cooking."

That's it!

Kuibyshev suddenly realized, and quickly said with a smile: "That's right! Thank you, Mikasa!"

"It's okay." Mikasa Daisenbei's performance was very mature, "Everyone came from this stage, but we have more experience..."

"You used to adjust your mood by cooking?" Kuibyshev asked curiously.

Mikasa directly shook her head: "No. At first I cleaned the room... After all, to be honest, the Kitchen Goddess is a better cook than I am, so it's not my turn to enter the kitchen."

Before the Kitchen Goddess came back, Mikasa was basically the chef in the villa, and there was no chef in the villa who could surpass Mikasa in cooking.

Until Vesta returns.

Kuibyshev recalled the taste of the food cooked by the Kitchen Goddess one day, and immediately swallowed his saliva.

That taste is really good!

"It's a pity that the Kitchen Goddess is not here now." Kuibyshev couldn't help saying regretfully.

On the second day after her return, the Vesta left without saying a word in the early morning, not knowing where she went.

Xiao Zhuang, who was the first to find out about this, hurriedly shouted to everyone in the villa.

The first reaction of all the ship girls after hearing the news was disbelief, and then they were all stunned. The ship girls in the port area left the commander, which is unheard of!

Z23 even made arrangements on the spot, preparing to call everyone around to block people.

It wasn't until Chen Su, who was yawning, came to the living room and told his girls that the Kitchen Goddess didn't leave the port area for no reason, but went to perform a secret mission arranged by herself, and the girls were relieved.

"What is the mission?"

Chen Su's tone was very strict, and Kuibyshev didn't know what was going on until now.

After all, she is not Chen Su's mother-in-law. Although she lives together, she doesn't put any filter on her opinion of Chen Su, and she doesn't trust 100% in his arrangements.

Compared with her, Mikasa's thinking is much simpler: "Don't worry about it, as long as it is the decision made by the commander, it is absolutely correct."

You only need to implement it yourself, and you don't need to analyze the cause and effect.

"...Okay." Kuibyshev also knew that he was talking about this topic with the ship's wife in the port area, and he was purely playing the piano, so he simply bypassed it.

While washing rice, she started the next topic: "Speaking of which, what will Commander Chen Su's arrangement be this time?"

Until now, Chen Su has not told these ship girls the specific tactical arrangements.

Seeing that the battle was going to happen tomorrow, Kuibyshev couldn't help beating his heart, fearing that Chen Su hadn't figured out how to fight this battle until now.

She wanted to hear about Mikasa's experience in this area, and wanted to see what Chen Su's arrangement was.

What she didn't expect was that after she finished asking this question, Mikasa's expression suddenly became very strange.

Not only her, but the movements of the other girls in the kitchen were full of bewilderment, and their expressions were full of confusion.

"What, what's wrong?"

Kuibyshev was a little nervous for a moment, thinking that he asked something that shouldn't be asked.

"No, it's not an important matter," Mikasa quickly smiled and comforted her, and said, "It's just...commander, his grouping arrangement this time is definitely different from the past."

"Eh? So sure?"

"That's right!" Mikasa nodded and said, "When the commander arranged groups before, each team had only six ship girls, and the number of ship girls of each type was also strictly limited."

Kuibyshev: "???"

She was a little confused.

And Mikasa didn't want to explain this question, she directly said vaguely: "Anyway, Kuibyshev, you just need to know that there has never been a situation where the total number of ships in a squadron exceeds six, and that's fine! And the commander's current arrangement, Kuibyshev, you have also seen..."

During this exercise, Chen Su even arranged up to fifteen ship girls to form a group, which didn't look like his fighting style at all.

When this arrangement first came out, the ship girl whose name was called thought she had heard it wrong.

Coincidentally, the ship lady who was in charge of the roll call at that time was Kuibyshev who assisted Chen Su, so she was deeply impressed by this incident.

"Maybe it's just an exercise arrangement? Normal battles will return to a group of six ships." Guibyshev guessed.

Mikasa shook her head, she thought it was unlikely, the exercise must have something to do with the actual battle, otherwise why the exercise?

But she didn't worry about it: "Anyway, listen to the commander, it must be right!"

Mikasa didn't intend to think about these things at all.

She trusts Chen Su 100%.

Not to mention a group of 25 ship girls, even a group of [-] ship girls, she will unconditionally obey the arrangement.

Kuibyshev, however, was worried.

Suddenly changing the fighting style and arranging a secret mission for the Kitchen Goddess, what is Commander Chen Su going to do!

She couldn't help raising her head, looking at the ceiling in the direction of Chen Su's office.

Is this battle really okay?

In the palm of Kuibyshev's hand, some beads of sweat were faintly oozing out.

…………

"That's all."

In the office, Chen Su put the group information on the table, and marked the route of each group on the chart next to it.

Since returning from the exercise until now, he has been staying in the office, discussing the grouping and marching routes with some of the ship girls.

Finally, before dinner, he got the official list done.

Cleveland, who was sitting opposite him, picked up the list, looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Commander, what does this circle mean..."

She was referring to the circle drawn with a carbon pen on the name of the ship's mother.

"Flagship and No. [-] flagship," Chen Su replied bluntly, "that is, the ship's wife who is in charge of on-site command during the battle and communicates with me remotely."

"Oh." Cleveland nodded, expressing his understanding.

Meanwhile, Warspite, Enterprise, Chokai, and Eugen also came over at this time—plus Cleveland, who studied the list with Chen Su, there were only five of them in total.

Chen Su originally wanted to call more people over, but before he could speak, he changed his mind.

Because not everything is in the category of more people and more power.For some things, the more people involved, the less likely it is to draw a conclusion. It is better to have an internal group discussion and then directly announce the result.

"Am I the flagship of the first team?" Cleveland nodded, staring at his name. "The second flagship is Odin, and the route of entry is... TE2."

This code name is the internal route code of the Navy. It took Chen Su a lot of time to figure out what these letters and Arabic numerals represent.

"This route should be the decisive battle route." The company made a judgment facing the chart.

"Then my route is the auxiliary route," Chokai said immediately, "The flagship is Mikasa Daisenbei, and the second flagship is Miss Kaohsiung. Hehe, if there are not sisters Beng and Arizona, this is the pure heavy cherry fleet It's over."

"Don't you still have San Diego and San Juan in your team..." Enterprise narrowed his eyes, stretched out his index finger to point on the paper, and pointed out the forgotten ship girl Chokai.

"Huh?" Bird Sea was taken aback.

She lowered her head and took a closer look, only to find that there were indeed two more names on the list that had been crossed out.

"...I didn't see it just now." Niaohai blushed suddenly.

"I don't blame you." While comforting Cho Hai, Zhan Zhan looked at Chen Su who was shaking his wrist on the other side of the desk, looking sore.

She originally wanted to complain about Chen Su, but when she saw his appearance, she immediately felt a little distressed, and she was embarrassed to blame him for writing too messy and sloppy.

The company also noticed Chen Su's state at the moment, so he turned his head to look at Niaohai, and said, "Ciaohai, please carefully copy the list and the route of entry again later."

"Yes!"

Chokai nodded immediately.

When the company first returned to the port area, it lay in Chen Su's arms like a weak little girl.
