Eldridge was silent for a moment, and finally walked up to and hugged the cat girl, who was a little flustered because she didn't get a response, as a gesture of friendship.
This made the somewhat anxious Cheshire heave a sigh of relief, and his smile became a naive one, which, combined with his hair standing up due to static electricity, was hilarious no matter how you looked at it.
After setting a good example, the cats, which were somewhat like social animals, began to give hugs to people one by one.
Ruyue was naturally curious about this new friend whom she was not very familiar with. Unfortunately, she was introverted and did not dare to talk to him rashly. She could only secretly glance at him while eating.
Now that she was hugged by the other party, the friendship boat was instantly launched, and she began to greet other destroyers with the cat.
Although they are still competitors, the friendship between children comes very quickly, and during the short break, Cheshire has been able to get along well with everyone.
“Wow… It’s so nice to expel the sisters. No! It’s so nice to expel the sisters. I am really touched QA Q…”
Warspite sighed, "No need to correct that. The Hood is watching you again."
"Huh?!" Royal Ark quickly perked up and stood like Little Poplar, looking very righteous and awe-inspiring. "It is our duty to guard and expel my sister!"
Hood looked away in annoyance and said to Guanghui beside him, "I didn't expect Little Swan and the others to fall. What a pity..."
"Alas... Actually, I should have guessed it earlier..." Guanghui held his sister's hand and sighed softly, "After all... I am also in this kind of inconvenience all the time..."
Seeing the smiles on Hood and Warspite's faces gradually disappearing after they realized what was going on, Kewei had to work very hard to hold back his expression and not laugh out loud.
She assured that her sister was not being pretentious on purpose, but was genuinely complaining about her mobility issues.
And she didn't quite understand. Even though he was war-weary, Hood looked pretty good. Although he wasn't as... gifted as the Glorious class, there was no need to care about it, right?
".Is it because the clothes she usually wears are too formal? Her clothes really don't show her curves very much...How about trying to persuade her to wear a skirt next time?"
[Hello, audience friends, after a short break, we are about to usher in the second competition!]
[Different from the three-legged race, this time the children will not compete in groups, but will personally select a sister they trust to help them fight for their individual victory!]
[The moment I announce the name of the event, everyone can invite the person they like. So the name of the second event is - Dodgeball!]
The children who were about to run were all stunned. After they realized what was happening, they ran towards the ship girls who were watching the game, fearing that if they fell behind, they would not be able to find their powerful sisters to help them.
The ship girls who acted as parents didn't react at first. It was only when the Royal Ark jumped up and shouted "Teacher is here" that they realized that there really was emotional interaction.
If you are chosen by the children and go on stage, and they happen to win in the end, then there is a high probability that you will be chosen by the children for helping them and will receive the reward together with them.
By this calculation, being chosen by the kids is certainly a good thing. After understanding the rules, the ship girls also became enthusiastic and waved their hands to recommend themselves.
"Sister Phoenix is here? I'm really good at fighting, Lafite Lafite! Here, here!"
"Come on, hold it up high! Choose the leader! She's super strong! She's the best!"
“Ahahaha… Montpellier, don’t, don’t do this, it’s too embarrassing…”
Cleveland scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. But Eldridge actually ran over to pull her, "...Sister, can you help me?"
"Uh... is it really okay to choose me?"
"......Um!"
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Rafi originally wanted to find New Jersey. After all, based on the name alone, she knew that the other party must be very powerful. However, she couldn't find anyone after searching for a while, and the White Eagle didn't have many main forces.
Seeing that Eldridge had already chosen Cleveland, Portland would probably just stare at his sister in the audience, and Indy was slow to react, so she simply went with the flow and brought Phoenix, who had signed up.
"Good choice! Hahahaha, I will definitely help you defeat Cleveland!"
"...It's dodgeball, not fighting."
After hearing the rule that Firefly could pull teammates along, he didn't hesitate and went straight past the Royal Ark, who was very moved, and pulled out the monarch next to him.
"Hehe... the combination of Monarch sister and I must be the most powerful!"
"...Well, I won't let you down."
Javelin followed closely behind, sweeping a circle around her sisters, then expertly passed by Royal Ark, who was a physical education teacher, and looked at a certain battleship with the title of "Sharpshooter".
"Sister Yan Zhan, come out quickly, I know you are the best at this!"
The old lady was stunned and a little surprised. After all, although she was accurate, she was not very conspicuous in the social circles of Hong Kong and was a low-key person. She did not expect to be chosen in such an occasion.
However, this also meant that his ability was recognized. War-weary was of course very happy and walked out of the audience without much hesitation, "Don't worry, I can hit it no matter how far away it is."
The perfect head maid was busy in the command room. When Little Swan came over, she didn't find anyone and wanted to choose Sheffield instead. However, she was shocked by Royal Ark, who looked aggrieved and deeply shocked.
As a physical education teacher, her main occupation is an experienced destroyer control aircraft carrier. She should have been chosen and fought over by the students she loved deeply at the first opportunity, but she ended up like this.
"I'm really strong QA Q... Choose me? Just choose me!! I can even give you this gun, please..."
"Uh, then let's go to Mr. Royal Ark. Don't cry... We have candy, do you want some?"
“Wow, you are not a little swan, you are actually my little angel QA Q…”
"?! Thank you so much..."
"Don't worry, I may not be good at other things, but I am definitely the best in the world when it comes to expelling my sister! Not to mention shooting - er, I mean dodgeball, I am definitely the best in the whole Hong Kong!"
Cheshire, who was short in stature and had short legs, arrived late. He looked at Hood who was implicitly expectant, then glanced at Perseus who had an expressionless face, and finally chose Sheffield who had played with a gun in front of him.
"I know my sister is definitely the best!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I will do my best."
“Hehehe…I’ll try my best to hide too!”
Chongqing has the most children, so the competition is extremely fierce.
The first choice is definitely the big sister battleships like Amagi and Izumo, after all, dodgeball and artillery fire are barely related.
However, Amagi, as the secretary ship, was not present, and Nagato, who was also a gunboat, was not easy to invite. After Izumo was chosen by Akatsuki, the children shifted their target to the aircraft carrier.
Yukikaze brought along Shokaku, who had something in common with her. They both had white hair, and she had seen how he behaved when he tormented Akagi, so she thought this was a sure thing.
Xiang called Feilong, for no particular reason, he just thought that the other party's cool outfit matched his anchor very well.
I don't know if it was for the show effect or for something else, but Dian called Akagi without hesitation. Amid the sparks flying between the senior and junior, she turned her head and gave a thumbs up to Nagashima, who also loved to watch the fun.
Mutsuki, Kisaragi and Uzuki took over the remaining big sisters from the Sakura Empire and summoned Zuikaku, Soryuu and Taihou to the field.
Ayanami didn't plan to compete with the other kids. After everyone had chosen, she extended her hand to the solemn-looking Nagato, "...Let's play together, yes."
"This... Can I, can I also participate in such an event?"
"..Nothing, no way."
Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, truly sensing the difference in the atmosphere of the port area, and immediately threw aside his stern mask and smiled like a child that matched his appearance.
"I will try my best."
"... Just be happy, that's all."
The choices of the two Iron-Blooded children were within everyone's expectations. Z23 invited Bismarck to attend, while little Zeppelin brought out Frederick the Great, who looked very pleased.
Changchun found it hard to imagine the scene of his sister Yixian throwing a ball at people, so he pulled Pinghai away, whose face had a look of "I want to participate".
Vicious might be afraid of being scolded for losing too quickly, so he skipped the pirates with higher requirements and brought along the easy-to-talk pastry chef from his own camp.
As for the Brie sisters, out of a strange sense of ritual, they also wanted to find a pair of sisters to help. In the end, after a lot of twists and turns, they set their eyes on the iron-blooded Germany and Spey. It is said that... it's because the hand armor is cool?
Seeing that all the participating ship girls had gathered in the center of the venue, the host Nagashima immediately perked up and began to explain.
[Now that everyone is here, let me explain the rules of the game. ]
[It's actually very simple. The children dodge the sponge balls in the designated area, and the selected helpers throw them in the outer circle of the area. The last three who survive will receive points according to the order of elimination.]
[This competition still does not allow the use of lethal items, and strong attacks on the face are prohibited. There are no other requirements. ]
[Then the game begins!]
Chapter 834 Fun Sports Meeting 4 (Together
The sponge ball is not big, like a miniature volleyball, only slightly thicker than a fist.
The overall color is orange-red, and the material is soft and weightless, so even if the person hitting it uses a little more force, it will not cause pain, not to mention that it hits the torso or limbs.
However, having said that, when faced with an object that could attack you at any time, most people's first reaction is to dodge.
The children were no exception, especially the sisters who were responsible for throwing the balls around the venue, some of whom were extremely vicious, forcing them to be nervous in order to avoid being eliminated at the speed of light.
At the beginning of the game, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Pinghai's tentative attack was slow and easy to hide. The children were also relaxed and crowded around until...
The sponge ball fell into the hands of a certain Sakura Empire shipgirl.
The joy of playing ended here, and the tension of the competition began to spread in the hearts of the contestants, because that was a terrible person, it was not an exaggeration to call him a monster.
The one who made the children feel like they were facing a formidable enemy was now nonchalantly squeezing the sponge ball in his hand, and then turned his gaze to the contestants who were scattered around.
"...Hehe, this is my favorite game." Akagi flicked his tail and glanced at Dian who chose him to participate in the competition. "You better hold on."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sponge ball was thrown out at an extremely fast speed. It disappeared from the eyes of the children who were unable to adapt to the super-fast offensive rhythm, crossed the space, and hit Shokaku who was encouraging Yukikaze.
"puff!"
“Pah…
......"
Shokaku blinked, and a crack appeared on her gentle expression. Along with her aura, her suppressed anger level also rose.
"Ah, Senior's aim is really not good..."
"No, my hit rate is 100% at the moment." Akagi looked at the junior standing across the field, "Rather than letting you take the initiative, it's better to strike first. Anyway... you will definitely do the same, right?"
"Well... I have to say, your intelligence growth is beyond my expectations. Now that you know this, then... you have to take it well!"
The sponge ball, which was severely deformed in his hand, was thrown out with great force and flew over the heads of the destroyers again.
Akagi slapped the ball with disdain, and the ball, which went off track, hit War-Yan who was standing on the side, and collided with her flat chest, making a dull sound.
"Boom!"
"Pah...
"........."
Javelin nervously stepped forward, picked up the sponge ball and handed it to the silent War-weary, and asked with concern: "Uh... Sister War-weary, are you okay?"
"...fine."
"That's good. The noise was so loud just now that I thought..."
[I thought it was going to be smashed into a basin, right? You don't understand. Steel plates generally don't worry about this kind of problem. You know, oops, my nose bridge!!]
War-weary, who had thrown the sponge ball with all his strength and made it smell like a cannonball, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at the javelin with a relaxed look, "See, it can hit the target no matter how far away it is. It's a wise choice."
“Ah, ahahaha… Indeed…”
[Ahem, that... let's add one more rule: no hitting the referee. OK! Let's focus on the game again.]
[After the little episode with the helper sisters just now, we can feel that the tension in the court is getting stronger and stronger! And now, it is Cleveland of the White Eagles who has the ball!]
[You may not be familiar with Cleveland, but if I call him "Dad Cleveland", you will instantly feel very familiar with him. 】
[That's right! Our Daddy Ke can repair street lights, clear canals, drive a bulldozer, and teach yellow chickens. It is said that there is nothing she is not good at! From this point of view, throwing a ball at people is just a piece of cake. ]
[Oh? Look! She's getting ready! Cleveland is about to launch an awesome attack!]
"That's right! Come on, Big Sister! Big Sister is always the strongest!"
Cleveland just raised his hand and sighed helplessly. He couldn't stand this kind of exaggerated commentary style, so he simply passed the ball to Phoenix on the opposite side under the nervous gaze of the children.
[It was actually a pass? That was unexpected. I thought I would see some special moves like the powerful diamond kick.]
"...This sounds like a move that only the Donghuang camp would use." Cleveland complained in a low voice
The enthusiastic and cheerful Phoenix was quite interested in Long Island's commentary style. However, she held the ball and waited for a long time but her introduction didn't come. Finally, she pouted and raised her hand to throw it towards the crowded place.
After the close interaction between Akagi and Shokaku, the difficulty of the game was raised several notches. Everyone stopped fooling around, and the speed of the ball naturally increased.
There was no intentional element in Phoenix's attack. The destroyers, which had subconsciously huddled together, hurriedly dispersed and narrowly avoided the attack, but the adults' reactions were much faster than theirs.
The ball bounced back and was caught by the Royal Ark. She glanced at Uzuki who was closest to her, and then threw the ball towards the distant little Zeppelin without hesitation.
"Don't get involved in my sister's expulsion!!!"
Little Cheshire was startled. Out of concern for his teammates in the previous game, he raised his hand and pulled Little Zeppelin, who wanted to pretend to be out of the game because he was not able to react in time, "Run, run!"
Little Zeppelin sighed, followed the force and dodged the attack before letting go and jumping to the other side, exposing Mutsuki who was tearing his ass off behind the two of them.
Feilong, who caught the ball, certainly would not miss the opportunity. He used a little strength and eliminated Mutsuki, who was wandering around, amid the miserable cries of the Royal Ark.
