In fact, the job of the gendarmerie should be done by someone who absolutely obeys orders and acts according to the rules. Although she is a member of the iron-blooded team, she gets emotional easily.
There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Hipper would naturally encounter prisoners who made him angry. Occasionally, he would beat them up a few times and then be reprimanded for his mistakes.
This sometimes caused her to doubt what she was insisting on.
In fact, Hipper did not treat it as a job. It was naive to say that she applied for the job just to uphold justice.
But her idea of justice is different from the rules and regulations. Some people should be beaten, their legs should be broken and they should be forced to crawl, instead of going to prison comfortably, eating, working, sleeping and living safely every day.
Hipper didn’t think it was a punishment. She was provided with food and lodging even though she had done something bad. She was even not allowed to do anything before recruiting people into the “factory”. This made her very angry. (Note 1)
"Ah... Hipper... Stop thinking about it... I've already written two self-criticisms this month, hold it in, hold it in..."
"...
"It's all Eugen's fault. When he was here, he could still persuade me, but he ran away. That's why I can't help myself."
"The next task... is there a ship girl selling items in a non-stall area? This... okay..."
Hipper curled his lips, hurried to the scene, explained and pointed out the location in a few words, and arranged the stalls in the stall area. The problem was solved very easily.
She asked someone for the time. It was already lunchtime. She was too lazy to go back and clock in. Just when Hipper was about to find a place to eat, she received a call.
"Who?"
"......Huh? You have no money but you still eat something so expensive?!"
"...I know, I'll come."
Hipper sighed helplessly, got in the car and drove to the restaurant mentioned in the call just now.
After arriving, Fang Yan, who was leading two destroyers, scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. "I was busy with my graduation exams and didn't work much. When I paid, I found out that it wasn't enough..."
Hipper thought, if you don't have money, you can just use X, why are you calling me? You can't be overdrawn, right?
Then I saw the lobster head held by Yudachi and the abalone shell on the table. No wonder he couldn't afford it. He was still gnawing on it. Don't dogs gnaw on bones? Is it really that delicious?
Shi Yu was obviously very calm. After all, she and Hipper had known each other for a long time. At this moment, she was poking Yuudachi's cheek with the lobster tentacles she had broken off.
Hipper sighed, "Shouldn't you go find a teacher? Teacher Kaga is still in school, right?"
Shi Yu turned around and smiled when he heard that, then waved to Hipper, "I didn't ask Ayan to call the teacher, otherwise how could I see you?"
"...You don't have any money?"
"If I hadn't said that, you definitely wouldn't have come, right? After all, your military police are so busy that even things like helping old ladies cross the street need people to do it. You definitely won't have time to rest when you go back."
Hipper glared at her, "You are obstructing public service!"
Shi Yu was not afraid at all. He spread his hands and shook his head. "I just wanted to make you feel relieved. Besides, it's lunch break now. I'll call you if there's any major incident. This is what Eugen taught me. You can blame her if you want to."
"Huh? For me? This is totally unnecessary.
“Oh, bye then, I’ll call Mr. Kaga.
Hipper blushed and rushed forward to grab the phone, only to find that it was the interface of [Notepad], which read [I knew you, a tsundere, wanted to steal my phone. ]
"You, you're kidding me?!"
"Slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly~"
Fang Yan thought they were going to quarrel, so she tried to smooth things over. "Don't be angry, Officer Hipper. Uh, that... I apologize to you. Shi Yu did something wrong, and I am also responsible. I will teach her a lesson..."
"Humph." Hipper glanced at the nervous Fang Yan, then sat down on his seat. "I'm just giving Eugen face, don't get me wrong!"
"...ah?"
Shi Yu smiled and waved to Fang Yan to sit over. "I'm used to it. She's always like this. Waiter, please give me the menu.
The waiter had obviously been working here for a long time, and he didn't question whether the group could afford to pay. Instead, he cooperated by handing over the menu and adding a few dishes.
Fang Yan was short of money, Yuuri was heartless, Hipper was furious, and only Shigure seemed extremely comfortable. He switched to the balance interface and took a look at his commander.
"Don't worry, we can afford it. We are just looking for an excuse to treat our good friend to a meal. Eugen used to come here often."
Fang Yan's heart sank when she looked at the remaining amount. My goodness, is she the one supporting the ship girl or is the ship girl supporting her?
However, after making sure that she could pay and would not be caught, she visibly relaxed a lot and began to concentrate on serving Yuudachi who was eating endless meat.
Shigure turned to look at Hipper, whose face was slightly red, and started talking.
"Honestly, I suggest you change your job, or transfer to a more relaxed place like Eugen did."
Hipper frowned. "Huh? I'm already very good that I didn't hold you responsible for intentionally adding to the workload of the bureau. Why are you telling me this?"
"Are you serious?" Shi Yu poured a glass of Coke for Hipper. "What are the tasks you usually do? You really don't remember?"
"Looking for lost pets, resolving quarrels, sorting out traffic jams, and regulating the placement of stalls, aren't these all trivial matters? Just because I have a little bit of connection with KanColle, I was assigned to the Military Police."
"Just because the pet is raised by the ship girl, the dispute is caused by the conflict between the ship girls, and the traffic jam is caused by a large number of people who want to save the ship girl, you have to solve it yourself? These things can be done by humans, right?"
"Besides, lunch break is for you to rest, but you are so stupid that you go back home right after lunch. Don't you have to work all the time?"
"Let's take a step back and say that if a serious case really happened and you caught the criminal, would you feel relieved? I remember that if the other party pleaded guilty, you couldn't do anything, right?"
Hipper took a sip of his drink silently, thinking of Eugen who always made him laugh in the past. She was always sloppy and unruly when performing tasks, but only when she was present could he handle the case peacefully.
"Have you ever thought about why Eugen was transferred?" Shi Yu paused, glanced at his phone secretly, and continued: "Well... she is just lazy."
"She felt that she was not suitable for this job, so she simply pursued the life she wanted and left the position to someone who was more suitable for the position."
"You too, I don't think you like being here. You're obviously tired. At least you don't seem to contact me much after Eugen left."
"That's because I'm too busy..." Hipper looked away and took a sip of Coke as if he was drinking wine.
Shigure sighed, "Of course I wish there were more responsible military police officers like you, but as a friend, I'd rather you do something that makes you happy."
"You are quite radical and not very good at socializing. When you mediate disputes, you often aggravate the conflict and then make yourself feel uncomfortable for a long time..."
Hipper was stunned and looked over suspiciously, "How do you know everything?"
Shi Yu silently took the phone back and forced an explanation: "Of course I know, I'm Shi Yu-sama!"
"She's just a sister who steals my food every day..." Yudachi swallowed the pork ribs and complained silently
He finally managed to pretend, but his dignity was ruined by his own dog. Shi Yu felt a lump in his throat and stuffed a soup dumpling into the dog's mouth.
"Eat yours!"
"Oh no, it's so hot!! Ah Yan QA Q..."
"Okay, let Shi Yu talk first. After that, we can talk to her, okay?" Fang Yan looked at the dog's tongue. "Hmm... It seems that there is no problem. Do you want a cold drink?"
Xi immediately answered: "Sprite!"
"Okay, okay, I'll get it. Just sit down and don't disturb your sister."
Shi Yu glanced at his sister. Her cute smile made her look like a large pet dog.
Hipper glanced at Fang Yan's back, then looked at Yudachi who had resumed eating, "...My illusion? There shouldn't be any situation between them that requires my intervention, right?"
"What are you thinking about? You might as well think about yourself." Shi Yu waved his hand, "I hope you change jobs, it's just my personal idea. The specific decision is up to you."
"......I see."
As he spoke, the newly added dishes were served. Hipper shook his head and began to eat. After drinking the cold drink, Yudachi finally burped and calmed down.
The three of them had nothing to do, so they just watched Hipper eat alone, which made her feel a little embarrassed. "...What are you doing?"
"Look at the iron-blooded and arrogant beautiful girl eating."
"Huh? Shi Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?! You weren't like this before. Did this guy lead you astray?!"
Fang Yan blinked innocently. Logically speaking, if someone was to be led astray, it would be her, right?
Yuudachi's personality is pretty good, at most she's a big eater. Shigure is a little bit bad, always likes to play pranks on her, saying that he likes to see her blush.
Fang Yan sighed silently, raised her eyes and saw Shi Yu's look at her. She didn't quite understand it, but she could read the disgust at the end.
"Ahem." Shi Yu failed to convey his meaning, and simply grabbed Fang Yan's hand, "She and I are going to the bathroom and paying the bill. Please wait for us for a while."
"Um!"
"Huh? Who would say they need to go to the bathroom when others are eating? Seriously... go quickly..."
Shi Yu smiled, took the confused Fang Yan downstairs, went out, and then ran away, "Hahahahaha, hurry up, don't let them find you!"
"Eh? Where are we going? Don't we have to pay?"
"I memorized so many lines to help Eugen persuade Hipper to change jobs so that they can be reunited. Shouldn't I ask for some reward? It's not too much to ask Hipper to pay for this meal, right?"
"As for paying..." Shi Yu smiled with his little tiger teeth showing, "I will pay for you when we go on a date later!"

Chapter 729: The End
In late April, the temperature warmed up significantly, but at the same time, rainy days accounted for a larger proportion.
Business in the coffee shop was a little slower than usual. Most of the customers were driven home quickly by the drizzle that seemed to be about to fall. They had no intention of staying outside.
As the chief waitress, Harman was eager to have some free time so that she could visit her boss who was taking a nap in the lounge.
Although the boss named "Cheng" always liked to play tricks on her, considering that the salary was really good and there was enough milk and desserts, Harman felt that she could be more generous.
Besides, Boss Cheng seems to have some health problems recently. He has been catching colds intermittently and even has a fever occasionally.
Rodney advised him many times to suspend business for two days and reopen it after he recovered from his illness, but the boss seemed to be afraid of making less money and was unwilling to close the store.
"Really? You make so much money every day, but you're still not satisfied. Are all humans like this?"
"If I continue to be so greedy, something bad will happen, right? I will definitely lose my job..."
"Going to take on new commissions with Spence and Bush? You'll definitely lose money, right?"
"So... I advised her for my own sake, not because I cared about her or anything... Yeah! Definitely!"
Harman pursed her lips and thought of a good excuse, then opened the door with a frown on her face, but her movements were extremely light, until her eyes met with the smiling person on the bed, then she puffed out her chest and walked in.
Since the other party was not sleeping, Harman naturally had to use his momentum to intimidate him: "You, you should go see a doctor! No, don't cause trouble for us in the store and take up all the beds..."
"Ahem... ahem, little Harman... come here."
Harman frowned and said, "What do you want to do? You are not going to lie to me even after all this?"
"I'm catching a cold... I just want to talk to you, my throat hurts a little, if you stand too far away I'll be tired talking..."
Arrogant Harman pouted, rushed out the door and poured a cup of warm water in, then closed the door and came closer with the cup, "0, drink it quickly!"
Yorktown chuckled, coughed twice, and finally got up with great effort. He took the glass and took a sip, then said softly, "...Thank you."
Harman tilted his head. "...It seems like this is the first time I've seen you look so pitiful...Humans are fragile. A little wind can make you sick."
"Hehe... yes, but I can only get the care of the cute little Harman when I'm sick... cough..."
The cat girl blushed and said stubbornly, "You yell, you don't usually call me that. Is this what the general of a human being is... Hmm, it doesn't seem to be used like that?"
"Well, it's true... ahem, it's true that it's not used that way, but it seems to be used correctly this time."
Yorktown smiled and changed the subject before Harman came back to his senses. "Yeah, well, that's it. I... really need to go home and rest for a while..."
"Ah? You should have gone back a long time ago! And, shouldn't you go to the hospital? You humans... seem to need injections when you're sick, right?"
"Yeah, it hurts, a thin needle sharper than a toothpick pierces the flesh..."
Harman shuddered and shook his head. "Well, you can only blame yourself! Who told you to get sick without taking care of yourself? You deserve it!"
Yorktown leaned against the head of the bed and chuckled, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible. After Harman finished scolding her, she felt bad. She couldn't bear to see this man look weak.
"You, you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. If you are scared, I can go with you..."
"Well, I am quite scared, but I am an adult now... ahem, so, I don't need you to accompany me. I can go to the doctor by myself. I will just have to leave the store to you..."
Harman puffed out his chest and hummed, "Hmph~ Now you know how powerful Harman is, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes... But in order to prevent you from doing anything wrong, I... Ahem, I prepared a treaty..."
"Who would mess around?" Harman's temper flared up, "You, you don't think we're going to steal your money, do you?!"
Yorktown took out a list from under the pillow and smiled without answering. Harman felt very aggrieved when she saw this. She had clearly come to express her concern, but she didn't expect to be doubted. Anger rose to her throat, and she shed tears in pain.
But her boss, who usually always coaxed her, showed no intention of backing down at this moment. Instead, he put the pen in her hand and motioned for her to sign quickly.
Harman nearly crushed the pen, but looking at the smiling face as pale as paper, he could not curse out loud. He gritted his teeth and persisted for a long while, and finally signed while wiping his tears.
"I, I'm not crying! I...I just...uh...just...you, I'll sign it, okay! Don't call me by my name anymore!"
