Hello, Admiral Akainu
Chapter 4
Quiet, it was very quiet, too quiet.
My lips twitched as I stared at the flickering lava. Then, I lowered my head to look at the photo album on my phone. I picked out the date of frost from a picture that my wife had drawn on Weibo, "Matching Solar Terms with Cats".
Coincidentally, it was frost today.
Looking at the fat orange cat and the persimmons around him, I set the wallpaper and lock screen at the same time. Then, I glanced at Sakaski and turned my head away.
I didn't hate the silence, nor did I find it awkward. On the contrary, I was used to this kind of silence and was used to not talking.
In America, no one talked to me. Other than my Omega, who would call me when it was too dark on the road, I didn't have a chance to speak outside of class, let alone speak in Mandarin.
When I returned to China, someone asked me what I did in my free time in America. I found that I didn't have much to do.
The only entertainment was playing games on the computer. Occasionally, I would look at the game characters standing on the street and watch the people coming and going in the main city. I would only think of the phrase, "The liveliness is theirs, but I have nothing."
Then, I could choose to close the game or A. Then, I opened the document and started to write.
It wasn't that I didn't get tired or that I was really good at writing, but I felt that there was nothing else I could do besides writing.
My family background was good, and I practiced all kinds of skills since I was young.
After practicing piano for seven or eight years, my hands were a little out of shape, but at the same time, I had the foundation of writing speed.
Now, writing had become a part of my life. It wasn't a hobby, but it was more important than a hobby.
Plus, my hand speed was fast, so writing wasn't a burden.
It was more like clearing the brain and relieving stress.
But before I finished writing 500 sentences, I glanced at the phone screen and fixed my gaze on Sakaski.
I didn't want to leave the cave today. Although Red Dog's complexion was bad and he was seriously injured, he still pressed me to his side.
But if he was monitoring me, he wouldn't help me block the wind.
I chuckled and weighed the phone. Then, I passed the phone to A8, "Take it."
"What?"
"Take it. This is my phone. It's as important as my life."
I casually handed the phone to him. Then, I looked at his surprised expression and gestured for him to touch the fingerprint on the back of Huawei to unlock it.
His phone vibrated, but he couldn't unlock it.
Nonsense.
After confirming which finger Red Dog had subconsciously used, I asked him to return the phone to me. I unlocked the phone with my fingerprint and clicked on the settings. I was too lazy to care about A8's voice. I switched to the English interface and waited for the phone to display English. I clicked on the fingerprint unlock settings and added my fingerprint.
"Use the finger that you subconsciously touched just now to record your fingerprint."
I casually threw the phone back to Red Dog, ignoring the complicated expression on his face. "This way, you can turn on my phone when you're free. I don't care. Other than the photos and the W icon, you can look at everything else."
"Didn't you say …"
"It's as important as my life. That's right, but I still stand by my words."
I'll be honest with you.
Chuckling, I watched as Sakaski recorded his fingerprint and unlocked it. I let him play with my phone as he continued to hug my leg and watch the lava rise and fall.
It gradually darkened outside. I could feel a slight chill, but it wasn't too cold.
The lava began to radiate warmth. It was so warm that I felt a little touched.
"Don't look at the photos and the W … Are you done checking?"
I took the phone from Sakaski and opened the app. He didn't look at anything. He just clicked on the calendar, time, weather, and compass. He didn't touch anything else.
"Mm, there's nothing to see."
"I think so too."
No, I don't think so. I just remembered that I hadn't signed in to FGO yet. I would die if I couldn't sign in.
"You didn't call?"
"I pressed a random button, but it didn't go through."
"I tried too. I called my best friend, but it didn't go through either."
I stared at the lava in front of me and suddenly thought of something. I shouted A8, "I just have one question. Does your system have a maintenance time like the game?"
[Madam, how can you give your phone to someone else … Eh?
Yes, there is a maintenance time, but it's in the wee hours of the morning. We won't disturb madam's normal usage. That's very considerate of us, right?
From midnight to 1am, madam can't use anything other than the translator. Even her superpower can't be used. I'm sorry.]
"Then if I eat half of the sweet potato and bread, will I turn back to stone?"
I want to vomit.
[No, no!
Definitely not!
If it turns into food, it's food. It won't turn back.]
I let out a sigh of relief and clicked on my daily mission again. I glanced at the "if you don't complete it at your own risk." I felt like I was courting death.
I kicked A8 away and looked at Sakaski's expression. I waved my phone at him. "Then continue. I haven't finished my 500 sentences."
"…"
"I have five daily missions every day. They're all tied to you. If you don't complete them, you'll have to bear the consequences.
So … "
"Say it. What do you want me to do?"
He looked at me and I slowly extended my hand. I was expressionless except for my dead fish eyes. I formed a heart shape and placed it on my chest. "Heart shape."
"…"
Daily mission 2/5.
Then, I maintained my expressionless face. I extended my hand even though I was about to faint from embarrassment. "I've completed the first mission. Now, I've completed the second mission. The third mission, hold my hand for one minute."
The atmosphere instantly froze.
I looked at him and my hand froze in the air.
He looked at me with an indescribable expression. It was as if he was saying, "What kind of mission is this? Why do we have to hold hands?" He looked at me with disdain and suspicion. After a full minute of stalemate, he slowly extended his bloodied arm and held mine.
It's so hot.
Glancing at our interlocked hands, I could feel my entire hand being wrapped up by him. It was very hot, but also very warm.
At the same time, I saw that he was a little reserved. I lowered my head to take a look before I understood.
"Oh, I wear this ring for fun. My mother gave it to me for my sixteenth birthday. I've been wearing it for five years."
I wore a two-star ring on my right ring finger. It wasn't unprecedented for people to think that I was married.
Personally, I was very satisfied with this ring because it gave me a sense of security. Some misunderstandings allowed me to completely block off unwanted flirtations.
I highly recommend it.
"I'm single. So, you don't have to feel guilty like 'Is this girl in front of me a wife?'"
Luckily, I didn't say this in advance. Otherwise, my idyllic scene would have been replaced with a wife play.
The other party stiffened. I continued calmly, "I'm single. I wasn't born alone. When I was sixteen, I liked a boy and we got together.
In the end, he cheated on me.
On account of the fact that I liked him before, I didn't do anything. I just flipped his table.
Oh, cheated on him meant that he got together with someone else. That someone else was none other than my best friend at the time.
At that time, I sincerely wished for them to be together forever. When they got married, I sent them a love letter from the past so that everyone would know of their heroic deeds at that time. "
It was as vulgar as the most vulgar youth novel. It could be seen that puppy love was definitely not to be touched.
"Then, I've been single ever since … No, you can't say it like that."
I have a bunch of husbands. I change one every three months. It's much more long-lasting than someone who changes one wife every week.
"I'll queue up my favorite idols, manga characters, game characters, anime characters, and novel characters one by one. I'll change one every day for three months."
"That's it."
"But I do have a favorite character. It's a young man with golden flames. He's super handsome.
No one wants to fight with me for it.
Chuan Lieping is super good. I'm so happy. "
"…"
"Of course, there's a limit. For example, during this period of time …"
During this period of time, the person I like the most is you.
Perhaps from now on, the only person I like the most is you.
I lowered my head and smiled. I didn't know when the two of us had changed from simply shaking hands to actually holding hands. It was probably because it was too awkward to hold hands, so I subconsciously adjusted it to what it was now. The daily mission was already 3/5.
I retracted my hand, looked at my phone and nodded. "Another one completed. Are you hungry, Lieutenant Sakaski?"
"Call me Sakaski."
"Oh, Sakaski, do you want to eat anything?
With my superpower, I don't have to worry that the things I eat will turn back to stone. "
He glanced at me and the half-broken bread and sweet potato on the big leaf. He casually picked a piece and put it in his mouth.
I casually received the rewards from the missions, which were money. When I opened BiBiBao, I realized that I could buy things. I didn't know how they would deliver them, so I placed an order …
I placed an order for three pairs of panties, bras, towels, soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
What else could I do?
Don't I change my clothes?
I felt that there was more stuff in my bag.
I didn't know when these things would arrive, but I didn't feel any heartache when I saw that the money was deducted. Anyway, it was earned from my missions, so it wasn't my money.
A8 stuttered and said that there would probably be a messenger bird flying over tomorrow. I nodded to show that I understood.
Glancing at the time, I casually set an alarm. Then, I looked up at Sakaski, who seemed to have been watching my actions. The screen stopped at the alarm setting interface. "Night watch time. You are the patient, so I will watch the rest of the night."
"No …"
"I will watch the rest of the night."
I narrowed my eyes at him. Then, I thought of something and opened BiBao to place an order for two bottles of vitamin tablets. "Please let me do something. Although I am indeed ordinary, I am not that weak."
"I can see that."
He glanced at my simple weapon and curled his lips into a mocking smile. His smile made me have the urge to slap him.
However, this was the expression that I hated the most. I couldn't wait to tear Red Dog apart with my bare hands.
Earlier, I liked it the most. Now, I hated it. I felt that I was sick.
I knew why I had such thoughts. It was just like how I hated it when the male protagonist was' black-bellied '.
I couldn't refute it. I hated it when people looked down on me. I hated it when people thought that I needed help. I hated it when I could do it slowly by myself, but people thought that I needed help.

I knew that people had good intentions, but I felt that they didn't trust me.
I hated it when people didn't trust me.
The wind seemed to have started to pick up. I unfolded my down jacket and draped it over my shoulders. Using my bag as a pillow, I leaned against the stone wall and closed my eyes. "I haven't finished 500 sentences. If you want, you can listen to me sing."
I didn't know any English songs, but the first song that popped into my head was' Yesterday '.
once
More.
Yesterday Reappears.
I remembered every single line of the song, and I could even hear Carpenter's vocals and harmonies in my head when I hummed the song.
It seemed that when I first heard the song, I was still very young and didn't understand the meaning.
My mother told me that the song was called 'Yesterday Reappears', but I didn't understand it.
It was her favorite song. She would play it every night, which made me like the song.
Later, in English class, the teacher taught me the lyrics, but I didn't understand the meaning of the song. Later on, I didn't.
But now, I did.
It seemed that everyone liked that line the most, but it also seemed that everyone was interested in that song.

Ling left the most impression.
After I finished humming 'Yesterday Reappears', I slowly switched to 'Scarborough Fair'.
I couldn't hit the high notes, so I continued to switch seamlessly.
Sakaski didn't show any reaction. He just sat by the side and listened, blocking most of the cold wind for me.
I took out my bag and changed it to Inami. I started to rap. I unzipped the bag and found the Yunnan Baiyao bottle. Then, I handed it to him.
"Take it. I don't need it."
I didn't need it for a long time.
I held the two stones and turned them into bread. I covered my mouth to prevent the psychological trauma from making me retch. I quickly passed the bread to him. "I just touched the bread. I ate too much before, so I feel like vomiting whenever I see bread."
"Don't mind. I will continue humming."
After humming for an entire hour, I finally reached 500 lines. I felt like a prisoner who was pardoned from death row. Even if the cold wind was blowing, I still felt bright and beautiful.
When I clicked on the mission, the phone screen spun and a message popped up. [Mission Item Unlocked: Translator Function]
[Please touch the phone to an object within two minutes. The vibration means that the object has been granted the electronic translator function.
PS: The translator function will lose its effect when it leaves the body.]
Lose its effect when it leaves the body …
Can I touch myself?
In the end, I placed the phone on the watch on my left hand. When I felt the phone vibrate, I glanced at Sakaski. Under his gaze, I spoke calmly.
"This idiot finally let me speak properly. How is it? Can you understand?"
"…"
