Chapter 73 Farewell(1/2)
“Aaron~~~~”
In the evening, by the port, civilians from District 11 stood by the sea and shouted to a parked cruise ship in the wind: "We must be proud of us~~"
"Yes!"
With his fists clenched, Aaron smiled and said, "I will become famous in the Pacific like Ji Kong!"
"Unknown to me, Aaron is looking for something older," a woman wiped her tears: "Such hard-working child, finally, my dream came true!"
"Yeah yeah..."
After living in District 11 for ten years, there are Aaron's memories and the place where his childhood was engraved. Although his childhood had no parents, no spoiled or rebellious, even the hard work and sweat were Aaron's memory that he could not give up in his life.
The aunt next door, the cashier in the convenience store, the old man who always takes lunch in the park, the fish seller, Feng Xiang, the owner of the izakaya. These are all Aaron's closest friends in the Pacific Governor's Office.
"Don't do anything sorry for Aaron anymore," waving the fish-slicing knife in his hand, the fish-selling uncle shouted to Nagato: "You stupid woman!"
"Forehead..."
Nagato was stunned. She looked at the fish-selling uncle. Although there was still fear and anger inside, there were too many fewer things compared to the day before yesterday. Nagato knew that this was the result of Aaron's position in the uncle's heart, surpassing hatred. In response, Nagato could only bow deeply to him: "I'm sorry, I did that kind of thing to you last time!"
Seeing Nagato apologize, Uncle Fish soldier blushed and then turned his head: "I, I don't want you to apologize, an idiot woman!"
Well, from a stupid woman to an idiot woman...
However.
"Thank you." Nagato was really moved by the uncle's choice. After all, she killed the uncle's most important companion seven years ago, but today, she was forgiven here. Nagato was very grateful to him: "Really, thank you!"
"I," raised his head and Nagato solemnly swore: "I will definitely protect Aaron. If anyone dares to hurt him, I will..."
The uncle frowned: "Hmm?!"
Nagato paused and quickly changed his words: "Just beat them away!"
"puff!"
"Puff hahahahaha~~~~~"
All those who came to see him off were amused by Nagato, and the uncle even showed a happy expression: "Ah, come on, Nagato..."
This is the first time the uncle called Nagato. However, in these simple words, he contained his entire seven years of pain and the responsibility he carried on his shoulders: "Go and follow Aaron!"
"Why!"
The aunt next door sighed and the fish seller asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm feeling that it would be great if I was a ship girl. In that case, I could go out to sea with little Aaron," said the aunt, looking at Aaron shyly: "And I can't say that I can still get married to a ship~~~"
"puff!
The uncle couldn't help but laughed and said, "Just, you are the only one?!"
"Stop talking, look at Aaron's sister and Nagato. Which one is not a natural beauty? That way, even the star ship girls in World Weekly are not much different, right?" The uncle held his stomach and laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, as if at this moment, the hatred between him and Nagato turned into smoke and went with the wind: "Puha, puha, puhahahahaha~~~"
When the uncle said this, the aunt next door's face turned dark, so Aaron hurriedly came up to settle down: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense. If the aunt is a ship girl, of course I would bring my aunt with me. You must know that as humans, all the aunts are so young and beautiful. If they are a ship girl, what kind of weekly stars, they will not have to be behind the aunt!"
In one sentence, the woman was beautiful and praised her for being young. By the way, she made the weekly celebrities look bad. But, let alone, older women like to listen to these.
"Hmph, look, little Aaron's eyes are still bright!" After saying that, the aunt of the Ling family glared at Uncle Sales: "Like you, you are talking lies with your eyes open. Be careful not to know if you are really blind one day!"
"you!"
These two people were enemies, and everyone knew very well. So, under Feng Xiang's leadership, they came up to say goodbye to Aaron one by one, and some even gave everything to Aaron.
"I'm going to go to sea?"
"Um."
Feng Xiang stroked Aaron's head, and before he knew it, the little hairy head of that year was really going to go out to sea in the blink of an eye.
"Take good care of yourself and don't work day and night as before."
"Um!"
Fengxiang's eyes gradually turned red. She was a retired ship girl. Her comrades in the past died in battle one after another. The cherished disciples also left twenty years ago. Until Aaron broke into her world, Fengxiang lived alone in the corner of District 11.
It was this child who ran to her shop and then clamored to find a job.
It was also him that illuminated his lonely heart.
Over the past ten years, it was Aaron who gave her countless happiness. From when, Fengxiang's laughter was gradually influenced by Aaron. Every night, when Fengxiang looked at the child who was slandering home, Fengxiang began to worry, start to feel heartbroken, and start to feel regretful.
It was not until this moment that Feng Xiang realized that he had actually fallen in love with this child.
Countless times, she wanted to open her mouth, countless times, she wanted to say the most sincere thoughts in her heart, but countless times, the words she said were ruthlessly pressed in her heart. No matter how reluctant she was in her heart, the last one said only two short words: "Take care..."
"The boss's wife is the same," Aaron had never seen his mother since he was a child. In the past ten years, Feng Xiang took care of him like his mother, caring for him. Like Feng Xiang, Aaron didn't want to leave her. However, when he invited her to become a ship girl, Aaron was reluctant to make up anyway: "Must, take good care of himself!"
"So..."
Turning his head heavily, Aaron tried his best to stop his tears, and then walked onto the passenger ship step by step: "I will definitely come back to visit you in the future, and I will definitely!"
"Drive the boat."
The ship drove away, leaving the port of District 11, leaving the friends and neighbors who had lived with him for ten years, heading towards the unknown sea. On the deck, Aaron faced the sea breeze, his tears had dried up, and were blown dry by the sea breeze.
"Why not invite her?"
"who?"
"That aircraft carrier," Changmen could see that Aaron and Feng Xiang seemed to have a very close relationship: "If you don't want to leave her, take him away."
"Take it away..."
Aaron said: "The boss's wife is old and takes her to the battlefield again. Sorry, I can't do this."
It is precisely because of the cherishing that she is unwilling to let her take risks again. It is because of the reluctance that she wants to separate. Aaron is afraid that Feng Xiang will encounter danger. After all, his situation is different from that of ordinary admirals. Feng Xiang has no second choice except for going to the battlefield every day and fighting desperately.
However, Aaron really couldn't make such cruelty to make this aircraft carrier that had been tired of fighting and had even retired for 30 years.
so...
'kitten.'
The power of the kitten is average, it is just a ship girl without a name. Even the SS-class ship girl like Nagato can only win, the kitten goes...
"It seems that," Aaron thought of Bismarck, and suddenly, he smiled: "Maybe, not following me is your best choice."
At least, kittens are safe, aren't they?
Half an hour later, the setting sun came to the edge of the sea level.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Aaron's eyes narrowed slightly. In the control room, Aaron quickly walked behind Nagato: "Naaron see if there is someone standing on the sea."
People stand on the sea?
"Is it a ship girl?"
Nagato frowned. She didn't know who it was, but she still drove the boat over very consciously.
"Isn't this ship girl?!"
Seeing the figure's appearance, Aaron couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He knew this person because she was the ship girl who played the entire temple fair with him and Chuxue that night.
"Mr. Tilbitz?!"
Hearing Aaron's name, Kitayao blinked curiously, and Nagato, who was beside him, frowned and said in thought: "What's going on? This girl, from the point of momentum, should be SS-level, but how did Aaron know this ship girl?"
Aaron looked at the Beizhai who was jumping onto the boat from the sea and asked, "What's the matter if you come here?"
"Nothing special." Tilbitz took out something from the sub-space with a calm look on his face. It was a hat, a very ordinary pitch-black military cap. However, this thing can be bought anywhere: "This is for you."
Aaron took the hat, and suddenly, his hands trembled slightly: "This hat, this hat, this hat seems to be..."
What's going on?
'This is my first time giving a girl a gift. Please, please accept it!'
kitten...
"And this one."
Aaron was stunned, and saw that what Tilbitz was holding was a yellowed medical bandage: "No way..."
‘Then I’ll give this to you. If you fall again in the future, you can use it directly.’
‘I’m not a fool who often falls!’
kitten.
"Then..."
Tilbitz pulled a red rope from his pocket, and at the end of the rope, a small amulet was spinning in the air.
‘When I can’t stay with you, just treat it as me.’
‘Don’t be afraid, I’m always behind you, protecting you~~~’
kitten!
"This is my sister's letter to you," Tilbitz handed a letter to Aaron, and then said softly: "Finally, she asks me to say something to you."
To be continued...
