The last chapter is now public, and the next chapter will be uploaded soon. Sigh, some unexpected matters came up at home these past few days, but I finally got everything sorted out today. Starting tomorrow, normal updates will resume. Thank you for your understanding.
"Sigh! I wish I could grow up faster," said Aracho as she sat on the bench, looking up at the sky and sighing like a little adult.
"Yes, yes," Firefly nodded eagerly, swinging her legs in the air.
"If that were the case, I could get the ring from Brother Chu Yang."
Firefly had always been fixated on the ring, but unfortunately, Chu Yang said she could only receive it once she grew up. So, Firefly had been hoping to grow up quickly. However, little Kiddo was completely unaware that the more she wished to grow up, the more her mental age seemed to regress.
Actually, it wasn't entirely accurate to say that. It could be said that after finding Admiral, Firefly completely let down her guard and showed her truest self in front of Chu Yang.
"Ah! Firefly, do you also want to become Admiral's Wedding Ship? But doesn't Admiral already have three Wedding Ships: Sister Richelieu, Sister Lexington, and Sister Saratoga?" Aracho turned her head in surprise to look at Firefly. Her desire to grow up quickly was entirely because Meng Kai didn't have any older Fleet Girls. Despite Aracho often teasing her Admiral as useless, she actually cared a lot about him and didn't want to see him looking gloomy because he lacked a Wedding Ship.
"Wedding Ship? No! I just want the ring," Firefly replied curiously. The little girl had never connected the ring with a Wedding Ship; in her mind, only Fleet Girls who received a ring were truly loved by Admiral—there was no other reason for it.
"Oh!" Aracho nodded as if she understood but was still confused about the meaning of Wedding Ship.
"Do you know? Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I become Admiral's Wedding Ship or not. Sister Chaochao really likes Admiral; she's always learning from Sister Haruna and wishes she could grow up quickly to become Admiral's Wedding Ship. Look at Sister Chaochao; doesn't she look like a little housekeeper?" Aracho shook her head and pointed at Chaochao, who was serving tea to Lexington, Saratoga, and Richelieu.
The eleven or twelve-year-old girl had long black straight hair and wore a black suit with a short skirt, knee-high black stockings, and round-toed shoes. Aside from having no developed chest, she already looked quite graceful.
At this moment, she was inviting Lexington and others for tea, appearing very much like the hostess of the Naval Base. In reality, as the Secretary Ship of the Naval Base, Chaochao was indeed fulfilling her responsibilities.
There was no choice; with an unreliable Admiral like Wang Kai, if she were to act like the mischievous Akiyama all day, the entire Naval Base would probably be in chaos by now.
"...Here at the Naval Base, there aren't really any missions on a daily basis. Most passing ships hire Fleet Girls as escorts and generally do not seek the Naval Base for protection. The few ships that do not have Fleet Girls as escorts rarely request the Naval Base's shelter either, as this route has been safe for several years. To save time, they seldom seek our protection, so daily work is quite relaxed."
"However, once we receive a request for escort from a ship, we must rush to provide protection immediately... In my three years here, we have never encountered a Deep Sea Flagship. Even Deep Sea Heavy Cruisers and Deep Sea Light Cruiser Ship Girls are rarely seen... The most dangerous encounter was last year when Akiyama and I escorted a small passenger ship and encountered a Deep Sea Heavy Cruiser along the way. It was getting dark then, and coincidentally Walker was nearby—she is one of your former Admiral's Fleet Girls. The three of us worked together to sink her with torpedoes."
"If we encounter a Deep Sea Fleet, we must not engage in battle; we must choose to retreat immediately..."
"Retreat for what? Just cover them with firepower and eliminate them," Andrea Doria said dismissively, as if it were obvious.
"Uh..." Chaochao felt a bit awkward and didn't know what to say. How could she forget! The four Fleet Girls before her were powerful enough to match Deep Sea Tirpitz. In her eyes, a Deep Sea Fleet composed of one Heavy Cruiser, two Light Cruisers, and three Destroyers was incredibly strong and required cooperation from other Fleet Girls at the Naval Base to suppress. However, in the eyes of these four, well, they probably wouldn't even last against two American Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls' opening barrage.
"Most of the time, it's hard to see a Deep Sea Fleet in these waters; it's mostly just some lone Deep Sea Destroyer Girls..."
Meanwhile, Secretary Ships 196 and 197 were exchanging opinions on some routine management issues of the Naval Base, while in the backyard, the two Admirals were also busy.
"Junior, do you know that your behavior is extremely detestable?" Wang Kai said with an expression devoid of interest.
"..." Chuyang was speechless. Was he just showing off his ship? Did he need to look so grim? It made everyone seem like class enemies.
But he also didn't consider that back at Rongcheng Naval Academy, it was he who had been beaten bloody by Lieutenant Generals during combat competitions by those who had shown off their ships in front of him. It was also he who drooled over other people's Fleet Girls every day, wishing he could take their place.
"Actually, I don't have much of a ship either."
"Are you trying to say that since you're a newbie who just built this, you want to know if it's any good?" Wang Kai rolled his eyes in extreme disdain and said, "If I say it's not good, will you give it to me?"
"No."
"Damn European. By the way, how did you manage to get Richelieu?"
"She used to be one of my Fleet Girls."
"Stop lying! But it doesn't matter... Ever since Yuhui, your Naval Base's former Admiral, discovered Richelieu in Haitang Bay Town, we've all tried to get her but failed... Iceberg, you know? Even with that, you're still willing to marry her. I have to say... marrying three at once, aren't you afraid of being looked down upon by the Admirals from the surrounding Naval Bases? When you leave, don't forget to take that blue yacht with you; it originally belonged to your Naval Base. Yuhui brought it over for safekeeping when she left..."
...
In the following days, Chuyang visited several other nearby Naval Bases. Although he only brought Lexington as his Fleet Girl this time, just as Wang Kai had said, he still faced disdain from every Admiral.
By the time everything was settled and the operations at the Naval Base were on track, half a month had passed, and Chuyang decided to set off for Blanca City to search for North Residence.
