Girls und War

The host then signaled everyone to applaud and invited the award presenter to the stage.

After the guests came on stage, Xia Shu was secretly amazed.

The lowest rank among the honored guests was Lieutenant General. The pomp and ceremony was incredibly grand.

Although they did not know who these generals were, this did not prevent the recipients from facing them with the most loyal and rigorous attitude.

After all, these people are almost the highest leadership class in the imaginary battlefield.

The future of their military career lies in the hands of these generals.

524. Pickled mustard greens and beer, let's go

After the big guys from several war zones came on stage, they quickly stood in front of everyone on the stage.

Amidst prolonged applause from the audience, several bigwigs handed the military medals and certificates to the recipients one by one.

Xia Shu did not know the general of the flower district who presented her with the award.

I just think that girl is short and looks a little cute.

No, it should be said that as the highest command level of an army, this height is a little too cute.

And judging from his appearance and hair color, he doesn't look like he is from the Flower District.

Did you jump here from another war zone?

Just as Xia Shu began to daydream, the admiral walked up to her.

In addition to Natsuki, there are two other people who have been awarded medals in Hana-ku.

One is a centurion boy from the cold weapon battlefield, and the other is Doragon from the Red Dragon Squadron.

Both of them received the company medal, a large medal not meant to be worn on the chest of an individual but to be displayed in the company's honor room.

So after the general gave them the military medals and certificates, the two of them held the medals in their hands and showed them off.

The military medal that Xia Shu received was a personal military medal.

Among all the people on the stage, besides her, there is only one other person who has received this kind of medal.

It’s Miss Anna from the snow area.

The admiral walked up to Xia Shu and seemed to be in a very good mood. He took a small gold-edged seal from the side and seemed to want to help Xia Shu put it on himself.

Xia Shu looked at the top of the Admiral's head, bent down slightly and bent his legs very considerately.

The general then hung the medal on Xia Shu's chest, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, Xia Shu. Keep up the good work."

Judging from the tone, it seems that he is very familiar with Xia Shu.

So Natsuki stood up straight, saluted the Admiral, and replied briefly, "Yes!"

After the people on the stage finished awarding their medals, cameras from various channels flew over.

Seeing this, the staff holding the medal immediately left the podium.

The big men who were awarded the medals turned around and took a lot of photos facing the camera with a group of boys and girls.

Xia Shu couldn't help but look down at the top of Miss Admiral's head. The more he looked, the more he felt that it was too short.

Is it appropriate for someone with such a cute height to be given the rank of general?

What should I do if I get attacked by a lolita complex?

So Xia Shu's slightly confused expression was seen by thousands of households in front of the screen along with the live camera.

And in an unknown town thousands of miles away, a calling voice came from a machine repair shop.

"Auntie, auntie! Come here quickly! Xia Shu is on stage! Come and see!" Bai Nanhua sat on the sofa and shouted towards the kitchen excitedly.

"I'm coming."

Feng Zheng came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly cut pickled mustard greens slices in his hand, and sat down next to Bai Nanhua.

"Let me see—wow! A gold-rimmed military medal! Not bad, Xia Shu," Feng Zheng said in amazement. "This little girl wasn't even touched by the wind when she was here. She was really well hidden."

"Is the Gold-rimmed Military Medal very powerful?" Bai Nanhua picked up a thin piece of pickled mustard greens from the plate, sniffed it, and put it into her mouth with some disgust.

But after chewing it, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"There are only four levels of military medals—black, gold, silver, and iron." Feng Zheng counted with his fingers. "The gold-rimmed one might seem like the second level, but the first-level obsidian medal is more than you can earn simply by fighting on the battlefield.

"To earn the Obsidian Military Medal, one would have to be a superhero who completely reversed the situation on the battlefield and saved the war zone from disaster. Therefore, the Gold-rimmed Military Medal is pretty much the limit of what an individual soldier can achieve.

"This is your sister Xia Shu's gold-rimmed military medal. She... Hey, hey, leave some for me! Why did you eat it all?"

Feng Zheng hid the plate beside him, but Bai Nanhua was still reaching out to grab it, looking as if she was still not satisfied.

"Is it delicious? I haven't tried it yet." Feng Zheng grabbed a piece of pickled mustard greens and put it in his mouth with a little confusion.

The first thing you eat is a burst of salty and fresh flavor that explodes in your mouth. The special fermented flavor transforms the original bitterness of the mustard rhizome into a chewy sweetness.

This unique taste is something that fresh food can never bring. Two modern urban girls who had never eaten this kind of food were immediately captivated by the taste.

"It's delicious!" Feng Zheng said with wide eyes, "I didn't expect Xia Shu to have this skill!"

Bai Nanhua snatched the plate back and said to Feng Zheng proudly, "That's my sister Xia Shu, what do you think?"

As she stuffed pickled mustard greens into her mouth as a snack, she looked at the screen and said, "Who's that person presenting the award to Xia Shu? He's short, about the same height as me."

Feng Zheng glanced at the award ceremony and said casually, "Oh, he's one of the seven generals on the battlefield in the Flower District. We usually call him the young commander."

"Young Commander?" Bai Nanhua was a little puzzled. "Is it a military title? Or a name?"

"It's almost a military rank. I'm used to it." Feng Zheng said as he reached out for the plate, but Bai Nanhua held him in her arms.

"Can someone so short become a general? Then I think I can do it too." Bai Nanhua said without restraint.

"Don't underestimate her because she's small. She's quite formidable. Don't eat alone! You'll poop green if you eat alone, don't you understand?"

Bai Nanhua showed a disgusted expression, but her hands did not relax at all.

Feng Zheng had no choice but to get up and walk towards the kitchen, apparently preparing to cut another plate.

This time cut it thicker and chewier.

And this thing... is quite salty. I think... it's perfect for drinking!

Feng Zheng seemed to be impressed by his own brilliant idea and turned to get a can of beer from the refrigerator.

Bai Nanhua pinched the crystal clear pickled mustard greens slices again and said in confusion, "This thing...it tastes bitter when it's raw. How come it tastes so good after Xia Shu prepared it?"

"I don't know either!" Feng Zheng said as he slowly walked towards the kitchen.

If Xia Shu could hear their comments, she would probably be very happy.

At this time, our chef Xia Shu finally ended the long award ceremony and walked down from the podium with everyone else.

She was no longer interested in listening to what the host said next.

Now she just wanted to sit in the audience and watch the opening ceremony comfortably.

The short admiral lady who had personally pinned the military medal on Xia Shu did not leave immediately after she stepped down from the stage.

A lieutenant general came over and respectfully handed her a drink of unknown substance. After she took it, she turned around and looked at Xia Shu and the other three.

The three of them stood still, and she said a few words of encouragement to them, and they all agreed.

Then the short admiral nodded with satisfaction and strode out from the staff passage on the side.

525. The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party

Xia Shu and the two people who had won medals beside him saw the boss leaving the passage, but they didn't rush over there.

They waited for a while to avoid running into their superiors again and causing some embarrassment.

The young centurion from the cold weapon battlefield greeted the two girls and walked towards another passage.

Xia Shu and Doragon both thought the road over there was too far, so they stood there and did not leave.

The two chatted for a while, and Doragon said he wanted to go brag to his colleagues, so he went backstage first.

Xia Shu waited for a while, and when he felt that Miss Admiral had almost gone far away, he started walking towards the entrance.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a loud call from the side.

She felt that the voice sounded a little familiar, so she turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

Then he saw a huge monster as strong as an ox running towards him with big strides.

The scene was like a Maus tank rushing towards him at full speed.

Xia Shu was startled and was about to roll on the ground, but suddenly he realized that the Maus tank was actually a person.

After approaching Xia Shu, the two "tracks" of the tank slowly slowed down and finally stopped in front of Xia Shu.

Xia Shu had already recognized that this humanoid moving muscle giant was a friend he had met in the recruit company.

——It is the “Terminator” of the Eagle District, Miss Xiaozhong.

"Xia Shu, it's you!" Xiao Zhong's face was full of surprise, and he greeted Xia Shu in a strong voice, "I was afraid you would just leave, so I ran all the way here!"

Xia Shu smiled at the innocent muscular girl, but was a little surprised why she was here, so he asked, "What are you doing here? Do you have any project?"

"No, what kind of project can I have?" The muscular girl touched her head embarrassedly, "I'm far inferior to those veterans..."

Xia Shu looked at her thighs, which were thicker than her waist, and remained silent.

Okay, if you say so, then it is.

"I'm here to volunteer." The muscular girl said as she showed off her pitiful tights that were almost torn. It was a good thing that they could find clothes of this size.

Natsuki nodded and turned to look at the other volunteers passing by.

The others were wearing similar volunteer uniforms as her, but they looked baggy on her, and when they were put on the Terminator Maus, they couldn't be recognized as their original appearance.

No wonder Xia Shu didn’t notice the volunteer mark on the girl at first.

They're all deformed, okay?

To be honest, Xia Shu quite likes this simple big girl.

Although she is muscular and looks fierce, she is actually a very slender and shy girl.

The so-called "a heart of a mouse, sniffing out roses" refers to this kind of person.

Xia Shu chatted with her with a smile and asked about her recent situation.

The little girl then described her current situation in a muffled voice.

"Our captain is so good to me. He didn't even have the heart to take me with him when he went out on dangerous undercover missions. So until now, I have only been doing some guarding missions. But I still want to go to the front line." Miss Mouse said aggrievedly.

"Hmm...bullet sucking..." Natsuki mused as he looked over Miss Mouse's figure.

"What?" Rat didn't hear clearly.

"Oh, I mean, different people have different divisions of labor. Maybe your captain feels that you are not suitable for undercover work, so he is preparing to let you develop in other directions." Xia Shu explained in a different tone.

"But... our squadron is mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions..." Shu Shi said helplessly again.

Well...there's nothing Natsuki can do about it then.

"Oh, by the way, Xia Shu, can I ask you a favor?" Miss Mouse Style seemed to remember something and asked Xia Shu a little embarrassedly.

"What? Tell me." Although he didn't know what the girl was up to, Xia Shu was happy to help her.

"Um..." Miss Mouse said shyly, "Can you add Viola as your friend again?"

Xia Shu was stunned when he heard this.

Viola? Is that the Queen Bee from Eagle Country?

"Didn't I add her as my friend?" Xia Shu was a little confused.

"Yeah, but you blocked her later." Mouse laughed sheepishly, "Viola heard I was going to come here as a volunteer, so she asked me to talk to you about this."

Xia Shu recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have blocked her.

Because she sent me sexually harassing pictures.
