"Don't know."
"Don't know?" Ling Yi was puzzled. Is there really a Fleet Girl in this world who doesn't know what their Admiral looks like?
"Well, Brother Chu Yang, I truly don't know." Firefly explained, lightly tapping her toes on the ground. "The Admiral has never been to the Naval Base. Not only do I not know, but everyone at the Naval Base doesn't know what Chutong looks like either. He only gives us operational orders through telegrams."
".........." It's surprising that such a peculiar Admiral exists in the world. "So, what Fleet Girls are there at your Naval Base? Who plays the records in the gramophone?"
"There are many Fleet Girls at the Naval Base, but there are many I don't recognize." Little Kiddo lowered her head in shame. As the initial ship of the Admiral, she was one of the first to arrive at the Naval Base. Theoretically, she should know every Fleet Girl. However, when she arrived at the Naval Base, the Admiral had constructed many Fleet Girls, and each time they set out on a mission, they brought back even more Fleet Girls. But as soon as they arrived at the Naval Base, they all hid back in their rooms; aside from meal times, it was rare to see them active around the Naval Base. Given that situation, it was no wonder she couldn't recognize those Fleet Girls.
"Then just mention the ones you do know."
"There’s Lexington Sister, Saratoga Sister, Princess of Wales, Sister Helena—the one with particularly large breasts—Nelson Sister, Rodney Sister, Hood Sister, Reputation Sister, Richelieu Sister, Bismarck Sister, North Residence Sister—Tirpitz—Washington Sister, Avant-garde Sister, Warspite Sister, Essex Sister, Enterprise Sister, Lion Sister, Missouri Sister, Prinz Eugen Sister, silly Quincy... Blizzard, White Snow, Shin'yuki, First Snow... Richelieu, Fantasy, Trust... Bluefin Tuna, Shooting Fish..."
".........." Chu Yang was somewhat dumbfounded. If what Firefly said was true, then this Naval Base is quite impressive; even the one established by the European Emperor pales in comparison to the one Firefly used to be at. However, from this conversation, Chu Yang also noticed something else: it seemed this Kiddo was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Based on his experience from a game he played in his past life, these Fleet Girls were either very powerful or extremely rare or simply visually appealing. In short, all these Fleet Girls mentioned by Firefly were well-known and loved by most players. Even in this world, they generally matched a portion of reality.
Yet it didn't matter; dwelling on this was pointless. He should first figure out which Fleet Girl was playing records in the gramophone!
"Firefly, hold on for a moment. Uh, let's first talk about who is playing records in the gramophone!"
"No one is playing it!"
"No one is playing?"
"Yeah, that phonograph was broken from the start, it can't play records at all..."
"Wait a minute, Firefly, hold on. Let's sort this out first." Brother Chu Yang felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Who did you learn your song from?"
"The phonograph! Brother Chu Yang, your memory is terrible. Didn't I just say that?" Little Kiddo looked at him as if he were foolish.
"......" Chu Yang almost choked on his words. Forget it, he wouldn't argue with this clueless Kiddo and continued to clarify!
"So who played the record in the phonograph?"
"The phonograph is broken... Oh, so that's what you meant to ask, Brother Chu Yang!"
Tears! Firefly finally understood his meaning, but speaking of which, why did she feel like Little Kiddo was getting more childish?
"It's quite magical. That phonograph has been ringing every morning at seven since I arrived at Naval Base, and it often plays during the day too. This has been going on for a long time; it seems to have always been like this. Sometimes it even plays at night, which is really annoying. I remember once Princess of Wales couldn't sleep because of it and wanted to dismantle the phonograph. But Lexington Sister wouldn't allow it, saying that everything in this Naval Base was left by Admiral, and without Admiral's permission, we had no right to deal with it ourselves. So in the end, Princess of Wales didn't dismantle it. However, whenever we wanted to listen to music, no matter how many records we changed inside, it just wouldn't play. Later on, Yubari came—the crazy scientist, Melon Girl—she tinkered with it for a long time but couldn't fix it. In the end, she said the phonograph was broken. But people thought she was a big fraud; the phonograph could clearly sing! It rings every morning at seven to wake everyone up; we don't even need to buy alarm clocks in Naval Base anymore. But since everyone said it was broken, I just went along with them and said it was broken."
"That's a bit convoluted!" Chu Yang scratched his head hard. However, he figured out that Firefly learned her songs from that magical phonograph. As for why the phonograph could play music automatically, that remained a mystery. He had lost any leads on finding that fellow traveler like himself. But it didn't matter; what he wanted to clarify most now was why Firefly left her previous Naval Base and whether that Martian would come looking for her to demand her back.
"Then why did you leave the Naval Base?" Logically, such a powerful Naval Base would be a source of pride for the Fleet Girls, and most would not leave easily unless they could no longer tolerate the Admiral's lewdness. However, Firefly's former Admiral had never been to the Naval Base, so how could there be any lewdness? No matter how you looked at it, Firefly had no reason to leave the Naval Base.
"The Naval Base disappeared!" Loli said in a somewhat low tone.
Chuyang had heard Feilin mention this before, and it seemed that Firefly's previous Naval Base must have been destroyed by the Deep Sea Shipgirls. Seeing little Kiddo looking so sad, Chuyang quickly reached out to pat Firefly's head and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be sad. When Brother Chu Yang has powerful Fleet Girls in the future, I will definitely help you take revenge."
He was just saying that; even such a powerful Naval Base could be destroyed in an instant, which made one think about how terrifying the Deep Sea Fleet must have been to destroy that Naval Base back then. Given his current character—being at the bottom of the barrel—dreaming of having such power was futile! So he was merely painting a picture for Firefly.
"Revenge? Brother Chu Yang, what are you talking about?" Firefly asked in confusion. It seemed she didn't really have any enemies! What revenge could she take? It wasn't that she had none; back at the previous Naval Base, she did have one enemy—Admiral Hipper. But Firefly wanted to defeat her through her own efforts; how could she ask Brother Chu Yang for help?
