Nini carefully closed the homework book in her hand, closed her eyes, raised her hands and stretched her body, "Ah~! I finally finished it. It was so difficult. My head hurts from doing it."
After neatly putting her homework books and pencil case into her schoolbag, Nini thought for a moment, walked to the big-butt monitor, and gently pressed a square button.
"Ding~!" The screen lit up with a rustling sound, but she did not insert the tape box. Instead, she picked up a brass key, inserted it into the hole on the right side of the TV and turned it.
Soon, a new image appeared on the screen full of snow dots. It was a new TV program. In Nini's understanding, it was a tape recording that could be broadcast from morning to night without ever stopping.
The images displayed on the screen were of the docks of various islands. The navy officers from each island reluctantly bid farewell to their tearful family members and ran towards the warships on the docks.
A very emotional narration is telling the background. "Everyone! Salute to our warriors! Wish them a speedy triumphant return!"
"The evil god Futan actually dared to launch a sneak attack on the heroes who saved Earthsea! Our great Governor Charles! This is absolutely intolerable!! After all the governors of Earthsea participated in the Earthsea Conference and voted fairly, it was finally decided to completely liberate the East Sea!"
Watching the scenes on TV, Nini's face showed a trace of difficulty. Although she didn't know what was said in the TV, she understood the meaning of those pictures. "Ah~ Is there going to be a war again?"
People will die in war, and compared to her classmates, she has long understood the horror of death.
Although she doesn't like watching this, Nini has no choice, because there is only one channel on Hope Island now, and if she doesn't watch this, she will have nothing to watch.
After playing half an hour of expedition information and watching Admiral West's life record for another half an hour, we finally came to the storytelling column that Nini liked to watch.
He was a man with a shark head. He told interesting stories in an exaggerated tone that all the children on the island loved to listen to. The children on the island called him Mr. Shark.
Listening to Mr. Shark's wonderful story, Nini was so fascinated that she didn't even hear the sound of her door opening. She only reacted when her mother came to her.
"Mom, I have finished my homework." Nini quickly sat up from the sofa and said.
Dong Na, who looked a little haggard, nodded, "Well, that's good. Have you seen my bag? I'm going to work."
Nini looked at the screen and then at her mother's back. She walked over and asked cautiously, "Mom, did you go to the pier?"
Donna's expression twisted slightly, and she stamped her feet vigorously in annoyance, "Why did the tent disappear? Do we really have to wait until next year?"
She took out all her savings over the years, hoping to talk to her dead husband again, even for just five minutes, but the tent with the skeleton could no longer be found.
Seeing that her mother's emotions were a little unstable, Nini ran to her and hugged her gently.
Dongna's nose felt sore and she couldn't hold back her tears again.
"I just want to tell your father that I don't hate him. I want to apologize to him. I shouldn't have scolded him before. I just want him to see what you look like now."
There was a hint of confusion in Nini's eyes. She actually had very few memories of her father, and it was very difficult for her to have such strong emotions towards a dead person.
Just as Nini was comforting her mother, a few little heads popped out from the door. They were her classmates.
Donna also noticed this, she turned around and wiped the tears from her face. "Go, go out and play with your friends, remember, don't play too late, come back early."
As soon as Nini walked out of the door, she saw her seatmate Jasmine, the fat boy and the skinny boy Gaia standing in front of her.
The world of children is not that complicated. While playing, the four children with completely different personalities actually became a group.
"Nini, is your beautiful sister at home?" Gaia looked into the room carefully.
"No, what do you want to see her for?" Nini knew that he was talking about Shanshan. Whenever someone asked her about her, she always answered that the other person was her sister.
Gaia's face flushed and he stammered, unable to speak.
"Hey! Stop chatting! Hurry up and go! Otherwise it will be too late!" The little fat boy waved his hands excitedly, urging the other companions to hurry up.
"Where are we going?" Nini followed hesitantly.
"Of course, we should go to the dock area. There are so many ships at the dock now! I heard that we can even see airships!" The little fat boy seemed particularly excited because of his curiosity about new things.
Nini stopped walking and said, "The dock area. My mother won't let me go there."
The little fat boy rushed back, pulled her and ran towards the street, "What are you afraid of! Gus's family lives in the dock area. He goes to school every day, so there's nothing wrong."
"Yes, yes, come on, if you miss this chance, you won't be able to watch it again!"
Encouraged by her companions, Nini finally followed them towards the dock area. When they arrived at the dock, Nini realized that she had worried too much. There were more than just them who came to watch the fun. Except for a few main roads, the entire dock area was packed with people.
There were many ships filling the docks of Hope Island. The workers, who had regained their jobs, began to transport shells and supplies to the Hope Island Navy with beaming faces.
"Gaia, will your uncle go with us to fight against the cult this time?" Nini's words left Gaia at a loss for words.
"I don't know, maybe he is. After my uncle left, he never contacted us again. My mother was so worried that she cried."
Just as everyone was excitedly watching the mobilization scene, the little fat man suddenly pointed his chubby index finger at the dark horizon in the distance. "Look! What is that!!"
The people near him all turned their heads to look, and then their mouths opened wide. It was an island, an island floating in the air, and the flickering indicator light was like the bloodthirsty eyes of a monster.
Just when the people on the dock were slightly panicking, the loudspeaker nearby immediately told them not to panic, as this thing was the Governor's aerial battleship. Only then did they feel relieved.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the floating island in the air, which was not much smaller than Hope Island but gave off a sense of oppression, and began to discuss excitedly.
"God of Shining! When did the Governor-General acquire such a powerful weapon? With this thing, wouldn't the Futan Cult be doomed?"
"Of course! Those monsters who believe in the evil god of the sea are no match for the Navy of Hope Island! They are doomed!!"
