"Just like that, there are seats available?" Yamato asked, bewildered.
“Yes,” Xiaobai said with a smile.
Deepsea Yamato followed closely behind Shiro. After entering the restaurant, the waiter led them to a luxuriously decorated, exceptionally quiet room with live music played by ship girls.
Yamato looked around at the deep sea and found it all incredibly novel.
“I’ve been to this restaurant several times, always with Missouri and the others… This is the first time I’ve known you need a reservation here,” Yamato Fukami said. “And this is the first time I’ve been to this room; I’ve always eaten in the lobby before…”
"This is my first time here too," Shiro said with a smile as he sat down next to Yamato.
"How could that be? Xiaobai, you look so skilled!"
"No, I was just asking on a whim. I didn't expect the title of the world's number one admiral to be so effective," Xiaobai said.
"Shiro, thanks to you!" Yamato Akami said.
"Yamato-neechan, I'm so hungry, let's eat." Shiro said to Yamato with a smile.
Shenhai Yamato picked up the menu, smiled shyly at Xiaobai, and then ordered the dishes in the same way.
Soon, the waiters brought out one steaming hot dish after another.
The waiter had just brought a bottle of what looked like an expensive red wine into the private room, seemingly as an apology gift to the two of them.
Shiro and Yamato naturally refused.
The food at the fancy hotel...
Although it lacks the warmth and personal touch of home-cooked meals, having such a meal once in a while is still a nice experience.
Xiaobai and Shenhai Yamato both enjoyed their meal.
……
We left the hotel at 3 p.m., under bright sunshine.
Fukami Yamato flipped through the plan and quickly determined the route for their next date.
"Amusement park!" Deep Sea Yamato pointed to the amusement park grounds and said to Shiro.
Shiro smiled and accompanied Yamato Akagi to the amusement park.
Then, bad luck struck.
The amusement park is closed today; there's a sign on the entrance saying it's under maintenance and closed for the day.
Yamato stared dumbfounded at the tightly closed gates of the amusement park, mouth agape, speechless for a moment.
"Hey...why, why is it closed...it was just open yesterday..." Shenhai Yamato anxiously pulled out the project plan, flipped through it for a while, and pitifully said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, well, there's still some time before the next project, how about we go to the coffee shop to wait?"
"Okay," Xiaobai said with a smile.
The nearby cafe was not far from the amusement park, so Shiro and Yamato from the Deep Sea stopped there to rest.
Xiaobai and Shenhai Yamato ordered two cups of coffee. Xiaobai drank his coffee and looked out the window, feeling quite relaxed.
Yamato didn't touch a bite. She sat slumped in her chair, looking like she had lost all her dreams.
"It feels like my plans for today are constantly hitting roadblocks..." Yamato Fukami muttered to himself, questioning his existence. "Is today not a good day for a date...?"
"How could that be?" Xiaobai smiled and put down her coffee, saying, "I've been very happy ever since I left home, Yamato-neechan."
"Hmm... Xiaobai, you're so kind."
"I'm telling the truth," Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
After resting for a while, it was time for the next project to begin.
Shenhai Yamato took Shiro to visit the newly opened indoor swimming pool.
Yamato's original intention was to take advantage of the swimming opportunity to properly show Shiro her body.
But when Yamato and Shiro arrived at the swimming pool, she stood behind the changing room, peering at the male admirals in their swim trunks, and felt incredibly conflicted and troubled.
"Yamato-neechan, what's wrong? Aren't you going to change into your swimsuit?" Shiro asked Abyss Yamato, holding the swimsuit she had just bought.
"Little... Little Shiro, let's not go swimming, okay?" Deep Sea Yamato turned around and said to Little Shiro with mixed feelings.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I...I don't want male humans to see you in a swimsuit..." Deep Sea Yamato pitifully hugged Shiro, half-kneeling on the ground and rubbing against Shiro's belly as she said, "The thought of others seeing your body, especially men, makes me so uncomfortable..."
"My swimsuit is actually quite normal..." Xiaobai explained, pulling at her competitive swimsuit. However, seeing Shenhai Yamato's expression of being consumed by his inner demons, she smiled helplessly, put down the swimsuit, patted Shenhai Yamato's head, and nodded. "Hmm... okay then, we won't go swimming."
"Xiaobai—thank you!"
"If we're not going swimming, what are we going to do?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"Ah, this..." Yamato Akagi, holding Shiro, froze for a moment.
……
The end of the matter.
Deep Sea Yamato and Shiro went to a well-equipped internet cafe on the street, booked a private room, ordered a bowl of instant noodles each, sat down at the computer, turned it on, and started playing online games.
"Little White, Little White, help me fight this, help me collect this resource!"
"Ok!"
"Little White, we're about to fight the boss, come to my safe zone quickly!"
"understand!"
"Ahhh, Xiaobai, revive me quickly! I'm being targeted by the enemy team—give me a nitroglycerin injection!"
"Roger that!"
"..."
The atmosphere in the private room was lively and bustling. Deep Sea Yamato was manipulating the mouse, dominating the game, his beautiful face almost pressed against the computer screen.
Shiro was assisting Yamato from the side, occasionally smiling as he watched her focused and absorbed expression.
Xiaobai doesn't really like playing competitive games, but... playing with skilled friends can be quite fun.
……
Playing games is an unexpected way to waste time.
By the time Yamato and Shiro realized the time, the sky had already turned a dusky yellow and a blood red.
Dusk has arrived.
A day passed by in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the internet cafe, Xiaobai stretched and looked at the dim sky, then said with a smile.
"Yamato-neechan, I had a lot of fun today."
"..."
"...Hmm? Yamato-neechan?" Shiro turned around curiously when she saw that it was quiet behind her.
Behind Xiaobai, Shenhai Yamato slumped down, his handbag hanging almost touching the ground, looking utterly dejected and listless.
"Yamato-neechan, what's wrong?" Shiro asked curiously.
"Shiro... I'm sorry... I didn't expect playing games to take up so much time..." Yamato Shinkai looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and said with grievance and regret, "I... my plan... my date plan... was so badly done..."
Chapter 3164 Very Happy
"Huh? Yamato-neechan, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Xiaobai was startled by Shenhai Yamato's appearance. She remembered that just a few minutes ago when they were playing games together at the internet cafe, Shenhai Yamato had been in high spirits.
How come, after only a few steps from the internet cafe, and while he was still marveling at how unique his date was, Deep Sea Yamato suddenly seemed to have fallen into this negative energy state...
Xiao Bai quickly stepped forward.
At this moment, Yamato's state was like that of a sage after pleasure; the more enthusiastic he was in the internet cafe, the more depressed he was now.
Regret, grief, self-loathing, inferiority...
A negative energy, invisible to the naked eye but clearly perceptible to the mind, surrounds Yamato of the Deep Sea.
Faced with Xiaobai's concern, Shenhai Yamato lowered her head dejectedly, sniffed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Plan... date plan... my date plan..." Deepsea Yamato wiped her eyes, looking at Shiro so close to her. She sniffled, then covered her eyes and burst into tears. "My date plan... thinking about it carefully, none of it actually went smoothly... I... I had planned everything we'd do together today, but... we ended up watching a Deepsea War movie, couldn't even get a seat at the restaurant, went to the amusement park only to find it closed, and then I didn't want you to go to the swimming pool. In the end, you had to spend the whole day with me at the internet cafe, and I even forced you to play games you're not usually interested in. In the end, I was the only one who was happy... It was such a rare opportunity to go out with you, but you didn't get to do anything! I... I'm so useless... I'm so useless, waaaaaah! I'm an idiot, an idiot who only knows how to have fun on my own! I'm so sorry, waaaaah—"
Yamato cried like a child who had realized his mistake.
This action left Xiaobai stunned for a moment.
Eh? ?
Wait a minute...?
Yamato-neechan actually burst into tears in the street?!
At times like this?
In this kind of situation?
Little Lunbai was completely bewildered by Deepsea Yamato's sudden outburst of crying. She frantically waved her hands at Deepsea Yamato, when suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the pedestrians around her.
Yamato's cries quickly attracted the attention of the people around her.
Pedestrians on the street stopped and looked over.
Everyone noticed the beautiful woman, Yamato Fukami, who appeared mature and dressed elegantly, yet was crying like a child in the middle of the street.
So everyone's eyes fell on Xiaobai. They scrutinized Xiaobai's face, their gazes filled with doubt.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"What's wrong with this beautiful ship girl? Why is she suddenly crying like this..."
"Was the other person traveling with her a friend?"
"This dark-haired girl looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before..."
"Doesn't she look a bit like...?"
The crowd whispered among themselves, and as they talked, they watched as Xiaobai's face began to show all sorts of expressions, their gazes like those of a group of people who had come close to the truth.
Oh no, this is bad...
Xiao Bai swallowed hard.
Xiaobai's makeup today is for her date with Deep Sea Yamato, so it's not very disguised. If someone who doesn't know her well takes a few glances at her, they might not recognize her immediately. But if she's exposed to too many people for a long time, there's no guarantee that someone among them won't carefully observe the world's number one admiral's appearance. So the possibility of being recognized on the spot is quite high.
In short... we can't stay here any longer!
"Yamato, Yamato-neechan, let's find a place first!" Shiro quickly grabbed Yamato's wrist and pulled her away from where they were, running along the street into the distance.
“Wuwuwuwa——”
Deep Sea Yamato obediently let Shiro pull her along, but Shiro ran ahead while she covered her eyes and cried behind.
Along the way, Shiro and Abyss Yamato attracted a lot of attention, but because the two ran by so fast, even though the scene looked particularly magical, the passersby didn't pay much attention to it, considering that ship girls are capable of anything, and just regarded it as a small episode that passed by on ordinary days.
Finally, Shiro pulled Yamato Deepsea along the street and ran and ran until they saw a narrow alley.
Running is a way to release emotions, and now Yamato's cries are not as loud as before.
As if seeing a savior, Xiaobai quickly pulled Shenhai Yamato into the alley while the people around them weren't paying attention.
Although the alley was narrow, it was relatively clean.
Xiaobai pulled Shenhai Yamato to the deepest part of the alley. First, she comforted Shenhai Yamato, whose crying had subsided, for a while. Then, she carefully ran to the alley entrance, poked her head out, and looked at the pedestrians around her.
The pedestrians around were walking by, and no one noticed Xiaobai.
Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, turned her head, and looked in the direction of Deep Sea Yamato.
It's a coincidence.
Perhaps because she had been running all the way, Yamato's emotions were no longer as intense as before. Her crying had stopped, but she was still sobbing. She sat down next to a trash can in the alley, wiping away the tears that were welling up in her eyes with both hands.
The little notebook that Yamato Deepsea had previously treasured as a precious artifact now lay on the ground like an abandoned notebook, its front side open.
Xiaobai watched this scene and sighed helplessly. She walked to the notebook, bent down to pick it up, and gently patted the dust off the notebook.
Xiao Bai glanced down at the contents of the notebook.
This is the page in the notebook that's about the amusement park.
