"I'm sorry, everyone. This update is a bit late, and I still owe you all a public chapter. Once I finish it, I'll put it up for you. Thank you for your understanding."
"Brother-in-law, why do I feel like we're not here as guests but rather to cause a scene?" Saratoga said, linking her arm with Chuyang's.
At this moment, the group stood on the roadside by the sea, facing a courtyard with a white wall painted in red that read "Building a Harmonious Society Together, Creating a Beautiful Home." This was their destination—the 196th Naval Base at Southwest Coast.
"It does seem that way," Chuyang replied after hearing Sister-in-law's comment. He glanced at the Fleet Girls following him and realized that, as Saratoga had said, he wasn't just visiting the Admiral of the 196th Naval Base; there was indeed an element of showing off involved.
Aside from Isuzu, who had voluntarily stayed behind to watch over the Naval Base, all the Fleet Girls from the 197th Town were present. Just in terms of numbers, they completely outmatched the two Destroyer Girls at the 196th Naval Base.
Originally, Chuyang hadn't planned to bring so many people. It wasn't like they were going to intimidate anyone with force; he and Lexington, who served as the Secretary Ship of the Naval Base, would have been enough. However, just before departure, Firefly had clung to his pants leg with a pitiful look on her face.
Alright! Cute Lolis are always hard to refuse. Shortly after, Saratoga also squeezed into the car under the pretense of going to the county town to buy a stroller for Andrea Doria. Naturally, Andrea Doria had to come along too. Well then, that made four of them. Following the principle that one more doesn't hurt and one less doesn't matter, Chuyang decided to bring Richelieu along as well.
As for Isuzu, she was left feeling wronged; there were still so many supplies in the Naval Base's warehouse that someone had to stay behind to keep watch.
So now, following Chuyang were two Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls, two Battleship Girls, and one Destroyer Girl. With this lineup, not only would they shine in the Southwest Theater where there were plenty of competitors but even in the talent-rich Southeast War Zone, they would definitely be top-tier. Wherever they went, they would dazzle all the Admirals with their presence.
And now this incredibly luxurious lineup appeared at the entrance of the 196th Naval Base at Southwest Coast.
Wang Kai had been feeling a bit troubled lately. As the Admiral of the 196th Naval Base at Southwest Coast, he should be considered a successful person. In theory, he only needed to sit in the Naval Base every day reading newspapers and sipping tea while earning a handsome salary. His life was far better than that of countless wage earners who had to clock in and out every day.
Just thinking about my age, seeing that I'm 25 and soon approaching 30, having spent twenty-five years by the side of Fifth Miss, my Kirin Arm has already been forged, yet I don't even have a Wedding Ship. How can this not evoke a sense of melancholy?
"Chaochao, do you think that on Valentine's Day, if we decorate the square in front of the church at Haitang Bay Town with countless roses to form the number 520, Richelieu would be moved to tears?"
"Imagine, under the blue sky and white clouds, a handsome young man in a White Admiral Uniform holding a bouquet of fiery red roses standing in front of the beautiful church, behind him is a huge 520 pattern made up of red, blue, and white roses."
"...The door opens, and at that moment when the golden-haired girl steps out of the church into the morning sun, the young Admiral kneels on one knee before her with the roses held high... The crowd erupts into waves of shouts urging her to marry him, and tears of happiness flow from Richelieu's sky-blue eyes..."
"Admiral, can we think of something more realistic?" Chaochao interrupted her Admiral's fantasy with some exasperation.
"Reality." Wang Kai's previously spirited expression dimmed in an instant as he slumped onto the table, gazing at a fallen yellow leaf from the grapevine above. "Reality—what is it? It's that rich people fear others knowing they are rich, while poor people fear others knowing they are poor... When you do something right, no one remembers; when you do something wrong, even breathing feels wrong... No one will listen to your pain; tell it to friends and they feel bad; tell it to enemies and they feel happy... So reality is just a bitch, full of hypocrisy and deceit. So Chaochao! Let your Admiral indulge in fantasies for a while longer!"
"…"
"…Richelieu, that's proof from the former European Emperor! When an Admiral named Wang Kai brings his Wedding Ship Richelieu to the gathering..."
"Admiral! Admiral! Sister Richelieu is here!" A cute little girl around four or five years old with a single ponytail ran in from the yard.
Her name is Huangchao, just like Chaochao, she is one of Wang Kai's Fleet Girls.
"Richelieu." Wang Kai's eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that he was about to turn his fortunes around?
It's no wonder Wang Kai thought this way; ever since Richelieu appeared in Haitang Bay Town, no Admiral from the surrounding Naval Base had ever succeeded in courting her. Not a single one had managed to invite Richelieu to visit their Naval Base.
Now, Richelieu has come uninvited, which means something. Even with just his big toe, Wang Kai knows that his spring has arrived.
However, looking at his own attire, Wang Kai immediately got up from his chair and rushed towards his room. Yet, before he could step inside, he froze in place.
Richelieu was indeed there, but she was not alone; a young man dressed in black casual wear accompanied her.
At that moment, Wang Kai suddenly had a bad premonition. He cast a resentful glance at his Loli Shipgirl and whispered, "Aki Shio, why didn't you make it clear? You made me happy for nothing."
"Idiot Admiral, who doesn't know your little thoughts? Richelieu is not someone you can hope for," the Loli showed no mercy to her Admiral, and her personality was somewhat similar to Andrea Doria.
"You..." Wang Kai was furious, but seeing Chuyang and the others already walking towards the gate, he quickly adjusted his expression and went to greet them. However, when he saw another Fleet Girl with long flaxen hair following behind Chuyang, he felt like he had been hit by a truck.
That was clearly the Fleet Girl he had encountered last month at the dock in Rongcheng before returning to the Naval Base. If he remembered correctly, her name was Lexington. Thinking back to the news he received yesterday, he realized that the new Admiral of the nearby 197th Naval Base was a European White Monkey who possessed three super rare Fleet Girls: Lexington, Saratoga, and Andrea Doria. Wang Kai then knew who had come.
Moreover, he also knew that they were both graduates of the Rongcheng Naval Academy, but instead of feeling any joy at seeing a junior, all Wang Kai wanted was to stab this damn European with his ancestral African Spear.
Chuyang, you’re so impressive; does your mother know?
