"Miss Yamato—let me see Miss Yamato—"
"Miss Yamato, I want your autograph!!!"
"Big……"
"..."
The fans were shouting and gesticulating wildly at Yamato Fukami, creating a terrifying scene that made people very worried about what would happen to Yamato Fukami if she were exposed to these fans without the protection of the security guards around her.
"Hello everyone—thank you for your hard work—" Shenhai Yamato smiled confidently at the fans, raised his hand and waved to them, "Family members, please obey traffic rules."
"Ah, Miss Yamato, she just looked at me! She has feelings for me!!"
"Yamato-san, waaaaah, she's so gentle, I'm crying..."
"I finally met my idol! Everyone, I really did! Waaaaah..."
Fans were moved to tears by Yamato's response and wanted to rush to her side.
With only one team of security guards maintaining order, the situation seemed on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, the female manager at the back of the group quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shenhai Yamato's wrist, and pulled her towards the van not far away. Amidst the cheers and shouts of the fans, she and Xiaobai and the others rushed into the van.
The van was completely empty; there wasn't even a driver inside.
Once inside the van, the female agent finally breathed a sigh of relief. She put down the miscellaneous items in her hands, loosened her tightly clasp, and then climbed into the driver's seat.
Buckle up and step on the gas.
With a whoosh, the van sped off amidst the cheers of its fans and drove onto the road.
Chapter 2409
After boarding the bus, Yamato Fukami sat by the window, still waving to the fans outside with an impeccable, professional smile on his face.
Some enthusiastic fans, eager to catch a glimpse of the deep-sea creature, chased after the van for a long time in a frenzy. Only after the van had picked up speed did the fans shout and give up, watching it speed away into the distance.
Shenhai Yamato happily withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his seat, and stretched.
"Yamato-neechan, are all those people your fans?" Shiro asked Yamato from the Deep Sea.
"Hehe, I guess so." Deep Sea Yamato gave Shiro a shy smile, whether he was happy or not.
"That number is truly astonishing... It's only been a week, and it's almost caught up with Ms. Luming's fan group..." Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, then asked, "Speaking of which, Yamato-neechan, have you started to learn how to deal with fans too?"
"Managing fans is also part of a celebrity's campaign!" Deep Sea Yamato nodded smugly. "Hmph, they're just a bunch of humans. If it weren't for the campaign, I wouldn't bother trying to please them."
"...I actually think Yamato-neechan's behavior just now was quite sincere."
"That's all acting, just acting."
"Okay, whatever you say." Xiaobai smiled.
Xiao Bai shifted his gaze to the female agent who was driving.
Unexpectedly, this female agent was also a skilled and experienced driver.
Xiao Bai walked to the driver's seat and watched the female agent drive for a while.
"Admiral Lu, is there anything I can do for you?" In the driver's seat, the female agent noticed Xiao Bai's approach. She moved her legs and glanced over out of the corner of her eye while holding the steering wheel.
"It's nothing, don't worry about me for now, you keep driving," Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Oh, oh..." The female agent blinked, tightening her grip on the steering wheel. "Well... okay..."
"Speaking of which, what's the manager's name?" Xiao Bai sat down in a chair, then looked at the female manager as she was steering the car, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something.
"My surname is Miao, and my name is Miao Yang..." the female agent stammered, pressing the clutch pedal as she answered cautiously.
“Miss Miao Yang, ah, what a lovely name.” Xiao Bai nodded in agreement. “Judging from her appearance, Miss Miao Yang seems to be only in her early twenties?”
"I'm twenty-seven this year..."
"So young."
"Hmm..." Miao Yang pursed her lips and quickly said, "But please rest assured, Admiral Lu Lin, I have been working for many years, and I certainly won't fall behind in terms of work experience!"
"I can tell that, besides being a manager, Ms. Miao Yang also works as a driver?"
“Well… yes… because Director Chen said to try not to let male staff members be alone with the ship girls… and our company happens to not have any female drivers, so they asked me, who happens to have a large vehicle driver’s license, to temporarily fill in.” Miao Yang explained to Xiao Bai, “I will also be in charge of the work arrangements for the ship girl group during this period.”
"Are you alone?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.
"Um...yes, yes..." Miao Yang nodded as she drove, glancing nervously at Xiao Bai. "Since this is my first time interacting with a ship girl, I haven't done many things well. Please forgive me, Admiral Lu Lin..."
"No, you did a great job." Xiaobai smiled immediately upon hearing this. "Yamato-neechan's popularity in just one week is also related to your arrangements, right? You've really worked hard during this time."
Miao Yang gripped the steering wheel, feeling a surge of emotion.
"Admiral Lu Lin, you are really amazing..." Miao Yang couldn't help but say.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"After spending some time with the ship girls, I finally understood how difficult the admiral's job really is..."
"Huh? Is it difficult?"
“It must be a problem with my lack of ability…” Miao Yang looked at Xiao Bai with relief and admiration in her eyes. “Now that Admiral Lu Lin has finally returned, the work of the agent can be returned to you.”
"what……"
Xiao Bai belatedly looked into the car.
Deepsea Yamato was chatting excitedly with Deepsea Akagi next to him, while York and Baltimore huddled around Deepsea Kaga. The three of them were looking down at the same phone, appearing to be in sync and close.
...So getting along with them is such a difficult thing?
Xiao Bai asked himself, full of questions.
Xiaobai couldn't even understand it.
Xiaobai felt that living with the Dean of the Deep Sea and the ship girls was quite enjoyable.
After thinking it over and over, Xiaobai, who couldn't come up with an answer, could only categorize Miao Yang's reply as "polite talk."
"Haha, if Miss Miao Yang still wants to continue, I'll ask Director Chen to let you work as my agent for a few more days," Xiao Bai joked to Miao Yang.
The speeding van suddenly slowed down after Xiaobai's words, leaving a long tire track on the road before screeching to a stop at the edge of the street.
"Please...please have mercy!!!" Inside the car, Miao Yang, her face covered in sweat, gripped the steering wheel and pleaded with Xiao Bai, still shaken.
“Uh…” Xiaobai.
The van drove on the highway, passing under several overpasses.
After some twists and turns, the van finally took Xiaobai and his group back to the entrance of their original residential area.
When Xiaobai left this place, there was a large crowd of Kantai Collection fans and even Xiaobai's own movie and TV show fans blocking the entrance to the community.
At that time, this place was packed with people, so crowded that it was impossible to move.
Fortunately, after Xiaobai's week-long vacation, the number of fans at the entrance of the community has decreased significantly, at least enough to accommodate vehicles coming and going.
After showing their access passes to the security guard at the gate, the van drove into the community gate.
At the entrance of the residential area, there is a familiar, vast lawn.
Xiao Bai and his group got out of the car, smiled and waved to Miao Yang in the van, and then watched Miao Yang drive away from the community.
"Miss Miao is such an interesting person," Xiao Bai remarked involuntarily, watching the van drive away.
"She's a very nice person," Yamato Shinkai whispered in Shiro's ear.
"Since even Yamato-neechan said so, I can't not pay her a visit to express my gratitude."
"There's no need to rush, there's plenty of time."
“That’s true. The most important thing now is to introduce these two to our family.” Xiaobai turned around and glanced at Shenhai Yamato and Shenhai Kaga behind her, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face. “I’m curious how Akagi and the others at home will react when they see these two.”
As Xiaobai spoke, he casually took Deep Sea Yamato's hand.
Yamato Shinkai grasped Shiro's hand in return, feeling the warmth of Shiro emanating from his palm. Yamato Shinkai immediately straightened his chest and raised his head.
Chapter 2410 Akagi and the Deep Sea Akagi O
The familiar lawn, the familiar villa.
On the lawn outside the villa, the ship girls and the abyssal deans were gathered around a long bamboo track, each holding a dipping sauce dish. The bamboo track in front of them was seven or eight meters long, spanning a rugged and winding artificial mountain. Clear water flowed through it, and streams flowed out from the track and gathered in a pool in the center of the artificial mountain, forming a small pond.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready—to—do—it—!"
As Loki asked the question, the ship girls present raised their chopsticks, responding as if facing a formidable enemy.
Amid the cheers of the ship girls, Loki, holding a bowl of plain white noodles, stepped onto a chair and began placing clumps of noodles from the bowl onto the bamboo track in front of him.
The water flow carried the noodles Loki had clamped onto the tracks, like swarms of small fish swimming past the ship girls.
The destroyers, wielding their chopsticks, were the first to make a move.
"I'll take it!" Fubuki used her chopsticks to precisely pick up the noodles that were flowing past her eyes. She lifted the noodles and placed them in the dipping sauce dish, stirred them vigorously twice, opened her mouth, and slurped them in. She chewed them with relish, "Mmmm—so delicious! Flowing somen noodles are so delicious!"
Fubuki smiled contentedly, looking refreshed and radiant.
"The noodles taste so refreshing, Fubuki-neechan," Shirayuki said with a smile, holding her chopsticks.
"These noodles were made by Akagi-neechan herself!"
"Akagi-neechan, you're amazing!"
The destroyers chatted amongst themselves, laughing merrily, and the atmosphere around them seemed to be infected by their chatter, becoming much more childlike.
Pachina, who was closest to the destroyers, stretched out her chopsticks toward the rails, but every time her chopsticks were about to touch the noodles in the water, the noodles, which looked like little fish, seemed to come alive and dart away from her chopsticks.
Pachina, his face dark, picked up a few mouthfuls of food from the water, but ultimately came up empty-handed.
"Oh, these noodles taste really good! They'd be even better with the dipping sauce!" Just then, an unrealistic exclamation rang out from pachina's ear.
Pachina turned her head to look and saw Deep Sea Dragon skillfully adding clumps of noodles that she hadn't managed to pick up into the dipping sauce dish, slurping them up non-stop, praising how delicious the noodles were and how wonderful the sauce was.
"..." Pachina's face darkened even more.
"Hmm?" Deep Sea Dragon finally noticed Pachina's gaze. She looked at Pachina, then her gaze shifted to Pachina's empty condiment dish, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh? Pachina, you're eating too? Don't you have an appetite today?"
"I can't pick it up, I can't pick it up at all." Pachina held up her chopsticks weakly.
"It's flowing somen noodles. Picking these up takes a little skill." Deep Sea Ryujo demonstrated how to hold chopsticks to pachina, then swiftly picked up two noodles from the track in front of him, precisely extracting them. "First, you do it like this, then like this, and finally like this! And you've got it! How about that, simple, right?"
pachina gave him a look that said, "Who would understand this?"
"Alright, alright, I knew you couldn't pick it up. Here, take the one you did." Deep Sea Ryujo pouted and put the noodles he had just picked up into Pachina's condiment dish.
Pachina lowered his head, picked up a noodle from the condiment dish, and chewed it.
"How is it? Delicious, right?" Deep Sea Dragon asked expectantly.
"...It's just plain noodles, isn't it?" Pachina asked, puzzled. "Why go through all that trouble to eat such ordinary noodles?"
"You don't understand, do you? This is called a sense of accomplishment!" Deep Sea Dragon knew Pachina would react this way. She laughed twice, her chopsticks expertly twirling between her fingers. "Flowing somen noodles are all about the sense of accomplishment and the ritual. Food you pick up yourself tastes the best!"
"Would anyone like this kind of thing?"
"Look, doesn't Akagi like it a lot?" Deep Sea Ryujo gestured for Pachina to look towards Loki.
Pachina turned to look.
Sitting closest to Loki, Akagi was holding a dish of noodles with a smile on her face. Her chopsticks swept across the tray like a ghost, picking up clumps of noodles and putting them into her mouth with elegant and smooth movements. She was also very efficient at eating, and even Loki's feeding speed could not keep up with Akagi.
“Unacceptable…this is too much trouble,” pachina said, turning her gaze away.
"If you find it troublesome, you can learn from Deep Sea Musashi. Look, it's over there." Deep Sea Ryujo pointed to the pond in the artificial hill with his chopsticks.
The noodles flowing down the bamboo track weren't necessarily picked up by everyone waiting nearby, so some would slip through and successfully complete the track. But just as the noodles rushed off the track and were about to fall into the pond with the current, a wet figure emerged from the pond with a whoosh, opening its mouth wide and sucking in all the falling noodles.
"Ahhh!"
Musashi, leaping out of the water, chewed on a mouthful of noodles, then somersaulted back into the pond, his whole body moving around like an ornamental fish.
Musashi's leaping body splashed water, which then flew into the sky and formed a rainbow.
"Oh oh oh oh oh————" The destroyers quickly applauded the Deep Sea Musashi.
"..." Pachina silently watched Deep Sea Musashi in the pond, and finally put down her chopsticks and dipping saucer.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?" Deep Sea Dragon's voice came from the side.
"I'm full," Pachina said, rubbing her forehead.
