Chapter 1023 Senbei!
"Something happened over there yesterday. Did you know?"
"Hmm? Ah...you mean Susu's port area? I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
"It's...it's them...they..."
Yorktown rested his chin on his hand and looked at the waiter, then smiled softly after a moment.
"Hehe...Xiao Haman, if you're worried, send her a message now to ask how she is doing?"
Harman grabbed the menu and said stubbornly, "Me? Why would I worry about her? She has so many people watching her, what could possibly happen to her? Why would I need to... Humph!"
"She is indeed very busy recently. Don't worry. Maybe she will come to see you in a couple of days."
"Who wants her to come? It's best if she doesn't come, so I don't have to go there specially to receive her... It's so troublesome."
Yorktown didn't expose it, and looked at the little arrogant with a smile, "Um, the guest at table six is calling you?"
"Who is it? No need to wave! It's not like I didn't see you..." Harman took a few steps with the menu in his arms, then turned back to look at Yorktown, who was smiling, "...Huh."
The aircraft carrier sitting at the counter glanced at the guests who were resting or working in the room, smelling the mixed aroma of mellow bitterness and a hint of sweetness, and was in a very good mood.
Since she moved to the port area and opened a store, the side effects of MRTA have never appeared again.
The little commander was indeed amazing. He would bring a piece of metal every now and then to replace the energy in her body and flatten and smooth it out.
The store is located on a commercial street, opposite an equipment store, so its location is excellent.
In addition, the waiter is very reliable. Harman is already able to take charge of things on her own. Spence and Bush occasionally get confused, but she can always save them.
Sisters Nelson and Rodney's skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. They are currently learning latte art. Once they become proficient, York City will be able to retreat to the cashier position.
Without any worries, life will naturally become easy and comfortable.
The only regret is probably the former divorce lawyer's wish to chase stars.
But... the time should be almost up, right?
Yorktown withdrew his gaze from table number six and looked at the regular customer sitting in the corner of the cafe on the other side.
Her long light purple hair was tied on her shoulders, and her amber eyes were clear because of the sunlight. She looked dignified and elegant no matter how you looked at her.
How could such a person secretly play with a puppet of the company's image?
Recalling what he had seen before, York City curled the corners of his lips. Seeing that the store was not busy, he simply stood up and left the counter, walked across the hall to the corner, and sat down in front of the other party.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Hmm? Ah, Boss... uh, Sister York City." Essex put down the coffee cup. "I wasn't thinking about anything. I just looked outside. It was quite lively."
York City turned his head and saw a huge crowd of people queuing in front of the equipment store.
A destroyer surrounded by eerie will-o'-the-wisp fire was sitting on the gun barrel that served as a stool, holding a large box of snacks and drinks, floating from the beginning to the end, then turning around and returning to the front.
When she passed by, the ship girls in the queue would show expressions of relief, and after she left, they returned to the crowded reality.
But even so, no one was dissatisfied. Instead, they were all discussing something excitedly. The atmosphere was incredibly good.
"What do you think?" York City asked casually.
Essex sat up straight with his chin propped up, "Well... nothing? I just feel very relaxed."
York City tapped the table with his index finger and thought for a while. "You've been here for a few months, right? Don't you think you're wasting your time?"
"In the beginning, it was true." Essex followed White Eagle's temperament and did not hide anything. "I felt cheated that I could meet my seniors just by working as a waiter."
"What happened next?" York City asked again.
Essex said "hmm" for a long time, and finally answered in an uncertain tone: "Maybe I got used to it all of a sudden or something? I think this is pretty good."
Without waiting for York to speak, she whispered her true feelings again.
"Think about it, I tried hard before, but failed, so I changed my career and continued to live as an ordinary person."
"But during that time, I was either studying for the exam or helping people with lawsuits, debating with the other side's lawyers, and fighting for my own interests."
"When I was a ship girl, I was either fighting or on my way to fight. When I was a human, it was almost the same. Every day was the same."
"When I met Commander Su, I was not only alert, but also a little confused. I didn't know whether I should accept her invitation and resume my identity as a ship girl."
"But later she didn't let me fight. Instead, she sent me to you."
"At first I blamed her and thought she was too irresponsible. Now I understand that she had good intentions and hoped that I could adjust my mindset."
York City smiled softly with his eyes curved. "Maybe she really didn't think that much, but just thought that if you were here with me, you would be more likely to run into the company?"
"No, she is the chief now. It is impossible to hold this position without brains and scheming. I don't think it will be that simple." Essex was obviously convinced of this.
Yorktown did not dwell on this topic. After a moment of silence, it summoned a mini carrier-based aircraft the size of a fist.
"Put yours out too. I'll try to see if you've regressed."
"Eh? Ah...Okay."
Two small model-like carrier-based aircraft flew around the table, dodging each other in a very small area.
Essex pursed his lips to stabilize the fuselage. From dodging awkwardly at the beginning to being able to gradually judge the trajectory of movement and avoid it reasonably now, it can be seen that he has a good foundation.
The place was too small and it took a lot of energy. After a while, she was sweating profusely.
Yorktown looked at her with a smile, handling the situation with ease. The carrier-based aircraft followed her for a moment and then flew past her closely at an extremely exaggerated speed.
The turbulence destroyed the balance of the carrier-based aircraft operated by Essex, causing it to fall headfirst and land on the table.
"I lost…"
“Well, it’s pretty good actually.”
"Don't comfort me, Sister York." Essex rubbed his forehead, a little helpless, "If you don't let me, the beginning moment may be over."
York City laughed and said, "I'm not kidding you. A bystander sees things more clearly. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people for their opinions."
Essex was stunned, raised his eyes and asked: "Others? What others...?!"
A white-haired woman wrapped in a jacket and jeans pressed down the brim of her hat, took off her sunglasses and smiled at the two of them.
"Sister, Essex, long time no see."
“Drink…eh——?!”
Chapter 1024: Holding a grudge
"You came very quickly. Are you done with everything?"
"Well, I went to the headquarters to meet that senior. As usual, I was teased by her a few times."
"Ah... come to think of it, she should be my predecessor, but unfortunately I haven't met her yet, and I haven't seen you being teased, what a pity."
"elder sister…."
York City chuckled and looked at Essex who was standing opposite with her head down and not saying anything, and gave her a cue.
"Essex?"
"Ah? Yes, I am."
"Why don't you say anything? I thought you would be very happy."
Essex curled his fingers on his legs, tugged at his pants and looked over, "...Senior, I have heard a lot about you."
Enterprise didn't mean to be polite. He nodded and added after thinking for a moment: "We should have met? Um... on a rainy day? I don't remember clearly."
Although the impression left was not very deep, Essex was extremely surprised that the legendary ship girl could still recognize her.
After all, she was an unknown person at that time, and there was an unbridgeable gap between her and the famous companies.
Not to mention knowing each other, she was struggling to make a living and was at most a passerby at that time.
No one knows the name of Passerby A, only Enterprise remembers that on a rainy day many years ago, a ship girl was caught in the rain and looked at the cat she had fed for a long time.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Essex." Enterprise smiled faintly, his eyes were calm, "You seem to have changed a lot."
Essex bit his lip and remained silent for a few breaths before he spoke softly, "Thank you, thank you, Senior Enterprise... You haven't changed at all."
Enterprise nodded, and when he saw that the other party did not follow up, he looked back at Yorktown.
"Sister, why did you move out so suddenly? When I went back a few days ago, I found out that the place had been bought by someone else."
Yorktown did not reveal his situation to the sister of the ship girl, nor did he want to say more, so he just brushed it off with "changing his mood".
As a contemporary legend, the company had no doubts about this, as if it had long been accustomed to the mystery of its sister and never pursued those details.
"Bumblebee didn't come back this time because she was afraid that you would take care of her, so she stayed at the headquarters to play with that senior... well, to complete her daily search work."
"It's about playing games, right?" Yorktown knocked on the table and shook his head helplessly, "What about Kitty?"
"Go wander around on your own. Its features are too obvious. Let it come back to you at night."
Yorktown said "hmm", then looked at the silent Essex, "...I've been lazy for so long, I should go to the counter to watch the store, you guys chat."
The company didn't think it had anything to say to this junior, so it stood up and wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the other party.
Essex: "...Senior!"
Enterprise: “Hmm?”
Essex: "I'll... catch up with you!"
Enterprise: "...Well, I believe you will have no regrets."

"You came back so early this time, it shouldn't be just to see me, right?"
"Well, I can't hide it from my sister." Enterprise took off his sunglasses and hat, "Actually, it has something to do with Commander Su. My sister should have a good relationship with her?"
York City didn't say too much, just nodded, "Not bad."
"The senior said that she was very curious about Commander Su. She was able to access the data monitoring port anytime and anywhere, but she suddenly lost her authority a while ago."
"...so what?"
"Sister doesn't seem to want to talk to me about Commander Su?"
York City secretly sighed and was pleased with the growth of the little girl, but one thing is for sure, she had received Su Xin's favor, so she naturally would not reveal the secret.
"A little bit, after all, she is now my...boss?"
Enterprise was stunned when he heard this, and reacted greatly, "Huh? Sister joined her port district?!"
"Hehe... No, she rented this cafe to me." York City smiled and said, "What's wrong? You seem nervous."
Enterprise shook his head, "I just can't imagine that someone like my sister would actually join someone's port."
York City asked with interest: "Why can't you imagine it?"
The legendary ship girl didn't say anything because she felt that this question didn't require any further explanation from her.
The sister in front of me whose age I don't know, the mysterious and solemn Xiaoying, and myself who was once powerless to resist...
Countless evidences pointed to the same conclusion: York City was an existence that she could not understand.
And such a person whom she admired was asking her why she thought it was so strange that she joined the Hong Kong District. It was really outrageous.
Yorktown waited for a few seconds and didn't hear any answer, but he didn't insist. He changed the subject and continued to ask the senior.
"So what did she ask you to come over for?"
Enterprise came back to his senses and said briefly, "Let me find a way to find out the reason. It would be best if all permissions can be restored to avoid any mistakes."
As soon as York City heard this, it knew that this thing was unlikely to succeed.
As far as she knew, the port was home to not only the two Siren leaders, the Purifier and the Observer, but also a possessive wedding ship, the Helena.
None of these three people is someone that the senior can afford to offend, so it would be strange if he can continue to spy on the port area.
However, York City did not intend to persuade the company to give up. After all, the other party was now able to stand on his own. She was now retired and did not want to interfere.
“Well, then you handle it yourself, I won’t ask any more questions.
Enterprise nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Did Essex come here on his own?"
York City: "Not really, Susu brought her here, but she didn't reveal anything. The reason she was able to stay here is because Essex has a good temper. You came here today and just happened to meet her."
