Griffon communications--Bar stories (KP31) (

"Yo, Comrade Papasha? Coming to take the stuff left at yesterday's welcoming party?"

Karina at the bar took a glance at the girl coming in from the door dressed in white.

……

However, the girl only replied with silence.

"What's up? Comrade Papasha?"

"Don't......."

"Hmm?"

Kalina turned around, only then did this foolish bartender pay attention to this lovely girl.

And her body shivering out of agony and the stagnating smile.

"Don't take me as one of those nasty Russkis!"

KP31, who had only just arrived at the command center was very unhappy.

Yes, verym unhappy.

The first person she met here just mixed her up with those contemptible Slavic girls, let alone the commander who had promised to come pick her up but instead left her alone in the bus station for half an hour.

Yes, KP31 was indeed very upset.

"Sorry! Forgive me this time."

"Humph!" Though KP31 still pretended as if still angry about it, it was obvious that she couldn't actually get angry with the idiot in front of her. "I won't let you go next time."

"Drinks on me this time~"

"Small-sized berry juice."

"OK! Just a second~" Kalina turned away to grab this very bottle of drink favoured by northern people.

Northern people from Scandinavia all the way to Caucasus, before they had vodka, used to make alcoholic drinks out of this kind of juice, out of climate reasons.

"Now habits and likings are basically the same." Kalina whispers to herself.

"What is it?" The voice of that girl behind her made her realize that she was just about to say something that would guarantee agonizing that kid again.

"Ah-ah, it's nothing." Kalina switched topics the moment she handed over the juice. "Speaking of which, KP31 just arrived at the command center today eh?"

"Yeah, the commander had told me that he would pick me up at the bus station, but instead left me alone. Humph."

"Ahahaha, we had a party stretching into late night, perhaps our commander should be still resting now, ahahahaha."

Of course, the fact is that 9A-91's welcoming party ended out of a sudden due to unexpected issues, with the remaining alcoholic drinks entirely consumed by that drunkard PK who also made the commander drink himself into unconsciousness.... Just keep those from her.

By the way, those drunk girls attended the morning exercise as if nothing had ever happened. It makes people wonder what exactly are Russian stomachs made up of.

"Humph, that's it. Should have at least someone come pick me up! Took me long enough to find my way here."

"Ahahaha, indeed. Don't know who's in charge of this." Of course, Kalina herself, who had been tasked with this matter did not get up in time. Just keep this matter which had only just came into mind away from her as well.

So just switch topics.

"By the way, what does KP31 like? You should be the first person from Finland. I'll see if I can get you something from Logistics."

"Ummm, then just give me some Surstromming"

"Ehh!?"

"Pfft, just a joke. I'm not taking too much of that myself."

"Phew, thought you were serious." If this Finnish girl actually opened one in the canteen, it could literally spell disaster.

"Now mind your manners. All you southern people know is to make fun of our traditional food. Alkali-processed fish was actually quite delicious." Seeing how Kalina was relieved, KP again showed upset.

"Aleh??" If remembered right that alkali-processed fish was made from actual caustic soda, is it really fine?

"But still, does Ms. Kalina like music?"

"Finnish ones? Heard of them before, some folksongs are actually quite nice."

"I brought CDs here today, come and hear it."

"OK!" Kalina seemed to be excited, as Finnish music often receive critical acclaim.

5 minutes later

"Ms. KP31?"

"What is it, Ms. Kalina?"

"This music of yours...." Kalina pointed at the music player producing unintelligible low-pitched roars, "is heavy metal?"

"Yeah~ it's from Children of Bodom. Guitarists are the proud of Finland. I love it so much, bought every single one of their albums!" KP31 kept on talking about her hobby that directly contradicts her lovely image.

"Wait, Ms. KP31....."

"What~Does Kalina like Nightwish more?" KP expressed happiness through her face, "I have their CD as well~"

"It's not the problem..."

However Kalina's agonized look was never paid attention to.

"Come on, I'll give you this one to listen to, their latest album. The riffs in this one is super great~!"

"H-E-L-P-!"

Eventually the one who saved Kalina from the hell of rock was Comrade Papasha who came to the bar to clean up the mess while murmuring "Who the heck is playing noise here".

Of course, the bigger problem emerging from her and KP31 in the bar is a later story to tell.
