"Are you feeling better now?" On a bench in the park, noticing that the little Kiddo in his arms had stopped crying, Chuyang gently ceased his patting on Firefly's back.
Earlier, seeing Firefly cry so sorrowfully, he had nearly decided to give up. However, the words that were on the tip of his tongue ultimately remained unspoken. After all, he was not a selfless saint and could not act without any selfish motives. Firefly was incredibly important to him because it directly related to the trajectory of his future life.
"Um." Escaping from Chuyang's embrace, Firefly stood up straight and shyly nodded. Did this count as her taking the initiative to seek comfort from Brother Chu Yang? She remembered that the Princess of Wales once said that only an Admiral could give a ring to allow for such embraces. But she was a Loli; if Brother Chu Yang dared to give her a ring, he would definitely be taken away by those Gendarmerie Ship Girls. So it was better not to let Brother Chu Yang hold her anymore. Still, Brother Chu Yang's embrace was really warm; never mind! She would just sneakily let Brother Chu Yang hold her when no one was around in the future.
At this moment, Chuyang had no idea about the little thoughts in Loli's mind. He scratched his head and eagerly asked, "Firefly, can you tell me how you came to sing the song 'Fireflies'?"
The developmental trajectories of the two worlds were completely different. If someone could still write a song like 'Fireflies' under such circumstances, Chuyang could only say: you're amazing. Just pretend he never asked.
"'Fireflies'? Oh, so that's what the song is called! Um, Brother Chu Yang, how did you know? I've sung it countless times and only now realized that the song is called 'Fireflies.' Am I useless and stupid?" Little Kiddo lowered her head shyly. The lyrics clearly mentioned 'Fireflies' and repeated it three times; she couldn't believe she didn't think of the title being 'Fireflies.'
"........" It seemed that little Kiddo was not the time traveler he had imagined. However, that didn't matter; as long as he clarified who taught Firefly this song, the answer would be clear.
"Firefly is not stupid at all; you are the cutest Destroyer Girl Brother Chu Yang has ever seen. Can you tell your brother who taught you to sing this song?"
"Brother Chu Yang said I'm the cutest Destroyer Girl." Firefly felt delighted inside.
The previous Bastard Admiral would never say such things to her. Even the telegrams sent were terse and formal reports, never asking how they were feeling or if their work was going smoothly. Even as the Admiral's only Wedding Ship, Lexington Sister had never received a single word of blessing. If only she had met Brother Chu Yang sooner.
How did I end up following that Bastard Admiral just because of one sentence? It's so strange! But even if that Admiral is a jerk, he is still my Admiral! By agreeing to be Brother Chu Yang's Fleet Girl, doesn't that mean I'm betraying the Admiral? But I really don't want to be that kind of bad woman who betrays the Admiral! Yet, I've already promised Brother Chu Yang! What should I do? It's so complicated! Ah! Never mind, as long as Brother Chu Yang keeps being so nice to me, I'll sign the contract with him.
“?” Is this question really that hard to answer? Could there be something more to it? Looking at the little face still marked with tears, with expressions constantly changing and brows furrowing and relaxing, Chuyang felt completely bewildered.
“Ahem, if it's difficult to answer, I won't ask anymore.”
“Ah? Brother Chu Yang, what are you talking about?” The firefly, coming back to her senses, looked at Chuyang in confusion.
Great, this Kiddo must have been lost in thought just now. In just one afternoon together, the firefly seemed to have spaced out several times; it looks like she has a story to tell.
“Um, who taught you to sing the song ‘Fireflies’?” Chuyang had no choice but to repeat the question.
“No one taught me!”
“No one taught you!” Hope rose again in Chuyang's heart. Rather than some unknown traveler being involved, it would be better if it was this little Kiddo. At least she is pleasant to look at; if it were some rough guy, that would be quite unappetizing.
“Yeah, no one taught me. I learned from the gramophone at the Naval Base.” The little Kiddo smiled modestly, but her expression was one of “Look how smart I am, you should praise me!”
Learning from the gramophone at the Naval Base means that the firefly must have had a Naval Base before. This suggests that her previous Admiral was likely a traveler!
Thinking of this, Chuyang became very curious about the firefly's former Admiral.
Initially, before signing a contract with the firefly, Chuyang didn't plan to delve into the past of this Loli, as it is usually a very annoying thing to do. He didn't want to risk making the little Kiddo feel uncomfortable and jeopardize his chances of success.
However, now that this topic has been brought up, why not ask and see if the former Admiral of Firefly was perhaps a time traveler.
After making up his mind, Chuyang first showered little Kiddo with compliments, throwing out phrases like "you are the most beautiful Destroyer," "the cutest Loli," and "the smartest little girl," until Firefly was so happy she could hardly contain herself. Only then did Chuyang carefully consider his words and say, "Firefly, can you tell Brother Chu Yang what your previous Admiral was like? If it's difficult, you don't have to answer."
"The previous Admiral." Just mentioning this person filled Firefly with anger. The newly acquainted Brother Chu Yang was worried about putting her in a difficult position and said she didn't have to answer, but that Bastard Admiral had never considered her feelings. She remembered one time when she and Fantasy were following Lexington Sister, Saratoga Sister, Oigen Sister, and the foolish Quincy after just finishing a battle in the Coral Sea. They had just retreated from the battlefield when they received an Operation Order from the Admiral, instructing her, Fantasy, and Oigen Sister to follow Richelieu Sister to clear out Deep Sea Shipgirls in the Danish Strait. But they hadn't had any rest for a long time and were extremely tired. However, that Bastard Admiral wouldn't listen to any explanations; even when Richelieu and Trust said they could replace her and Fantasy, that Bastard Admiral still refused.
After a quick resupply of fuel and ammunition, they followed Richelieu Sister to the Danish Strait. That battle was truly grueling; even the powerful Fleet Girls like Richelieu suffered serious injuries. Although they ultimately won, it was a devastating victory. If it hadn't been for Oigen Sister using her body to shield Fantasy from a shell, perhaps Fantasy wouldn't have made it back. To this day, Firefly still remembers the painful cries of Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish; the two young Submarines cried all the way back from the Danish Strait to the Naval Base...
