This Friday, the release is set, and the results are bound to be disappointing, so Little Sword doesn't expect much; let's just consider this book as a way to make up for the many regrets of the last one!
The worries of Loli come quickly and leave just as fast. When Chuyang promised to help Firefly find the Prince of Wales soon, the little girl broke into a smile again.
However, for Chuyang, this is undoubtedly a challenge. For some reason, most of the Fleet Girls under his command are engaged in duties that have little to do with being Fleet Girls themselves.
Firefly is a small performer at the Circus, Lexington has transformed into a domineering CEO, Andrea Doria is at the Photo Booth handing out pictures, Saratoga has become a Kindergarten Teacher, and Isuzu drives a large truck for transportation. The only profession related to being a Fleet Girl is Richelieu's role as a Mercenary, but even she only works sporadically, often disguising herself as the master's envoy to deceive the world.
If these Fleet Girls are like this, what about the others? Are they also engaged in professions unrelated to being Fleet Girls, which undoubtedly adds difficulty for Chuyang in finding them? Even if they excel in their respective jobs and have made quite a name for themselves, rare Fleet Girls like Richelieu are still manageable since there are not many of them worldwide. With patience and careful identification, he can eventually find them. But what about those Loli? Take Firefly's friend Trust, for instance; there are fewer than a thousand of them worldwide—maybe around eight hundred. How can he possibly find them?
Thus, Chuyang has no confidence in locating other Fleet Girls, but he cannot simply ignore the task.
Initially, he had a nonchalant attitude of finding as many as possible. Now, if there's any chance, he genuinely wants to bring all the Fleet Girls back.
There’s no other reason; he just doesn’t want to let down the feelings of the Ladies.
Take Isuzu, for example. Chuyang can guarantee with his character that during his time playing the game, he never sent Isuzu on a single expedition, so her affection level must be at its initial value. This can also be seen in real life; even that quirky little girl Andrea Doria, who always calls her a pervert, has become less resistant to some affectionate gestures from Chuyang. However, with Isuzu, whenever he tries to hold her hand to boost her affection level, she doesn’t turn away but her expression and actions seem quite unnatural—as if she feels bullied by him—often leaving Chuyang feeling awkward.
Yet this very same Fleet Girl, when asked by Chuyang why she didn’t look for another Admiral before, had an expression that was quite strange. Her gaze was as if looking at an idiot as she said, “I already have an Admiral. Why would I need to find another one?”
Indeed! She already has an Admiral. Even after four years of disappearance by Chuyang, she still feels abandoned by her Admiral. This girl hasn’t even considered finding another one for herself. What about the others? It’s likely that their situations are similar.
As for the fireflies, Chuyang is equally willing to bet his life that if it had been someone else at that time, Loli would have absolutely refused to become the other party's Fleet Girl.
Regarding this, during a casual chat between Chuyang and Lexington, Lexington mentioned that when she first saw Chuyang at Rongcheng Naval Academy, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She had a vague feeling that Chuyang was someone very important to her. Lexington even expressed her regret to Chuyang, saying that even if she still couldn't remember Admiral's appearance the next day, as long as they spent some time together, she would probably agree to be Chuyang's Fleet Girl.
Therefore, even without the troublesome Contract Ring, the outcome wouldn't have been much different from now. The only difference would be that the process would have been much more difficult; Chuyang would have had to exert all his efforts to gain their favor before the Fleet Girls might follow him. Unlike now, where just meeting once is enough for the Ladies to wholeheartedly follow him.
For Chuyang, pursuing girls is indeed quite challenging. Otherwise, during his three years in Rongcheng, he wouldn't have failed to attract even one Fleet Girl. Although part of it is due to some Fleet Girls' reasons, it also highlights his clumsiness in pursuing girls. Having thick skin alone is not enough; he needs the right methods and techniques.
Thus, Chuyang still believes that the current situation is the best. With the Fleet Girls remembering him, his search will be much easier.
In short, to repay the Ladies for their long wait and longing, even if it takes a lifetime, he will do everything he can to bring all the Fleet Girls back.
Next, once everything settles down at the Naval Base, he definitely plans to visit Blanca City in Europe. Although the hope of finding North Residence there is extremely slim, he won't miss any bit of information. Otherwise, his conscience would be uneasy. Of course, there's also a sense of possessiveness involved; how could he let his own Fleet Girls be lost out there?
After lunch, Lexington ordered the two Lolis to take a nap, actually wanting them to stop causing trouble so that everyone else could handle matters at the Naval Base peacefully.
"Fox spirit Richelieu, Richelieu fox spirit."
"Jaja, what are you mumbling about?" After hanging up the wedding photo, Lexington came down from the ladder and noticed Saratoga muttering something while helping her with the ladder.
"Sister, I think Richelieu is just a fox spirit." Saratoga complained: "This kind of thing should be done by brother-in-law and you together, but Richelieu made brother-in-law help her arrange her room. What's so special about arranging her room? The furniture moved from the church has already been placed according to her specifications. Even if it needed moving, she could do it herself; what use is brother-in-law? If she needed help, she should have asked Isuzu instead; brother-in-law can't move those heavy pieces of furniture anyway. I think she's doing it on purpose."
"You! You still have the face to talk about Richelieu? When you first met your brother-in-law, weren't you sticking to him every day? You shamelessly had him feed you! How old are you now? Don't you have hands of your own?" Lexington shot a glare at her sister.
"He is my brother-in-law, and I am his Sister-in-law. Who else should I stick to?" Saratoga said confidently.
"Alright, let's not get into this nonsense. Make sure to keep an eye on the fireflies tonight, and don't let her come running over in the middle of the night again."
"Sis, are you going to be with brother-in-law tonight?" Saratoga asked teasingly.
"Yes." Lexington nodded lightly, a hint of a blush appearing on her face. It was a bit embarrassing for her to have her sister point out such things in front of her.
But there was no helping it; after all, the fireflies loved to cling to her or Admiral. She remembered that during their trip when they stayed at hotels, there were several times when just as she and Admiral were about to sleep, they would hear Loli banging on the door, forcing her and Chuyang to put their clothes back on.
Tonight was very important for Lexington, so she absolutely could not be disturbed by Brat.
