Lexington had actually come out of the restroom a long time ago, but she had not approached because she saw Akagi sitting in her spot.
There was no helping it; she just wasn't fond of Akagi, and in fact, she felt a bit of dislike towards her. She remembered that back at the Naval Base, many Fleet Girls liked the Admiral, but only South Dakota and Akagi openly expressed such feelings in front of everyone.
As for South Dakota, she was just a foolish girl who didn't really catch the Admiral's attention. But Akagi was completely different; there were many times when she had been pushed out of the first fleet at the Naval Base by her.
Although it might have been to improve the overall training level of the Fleet Girls at the Naval Base, why was it that only Akagi replaced her position instead of others like Essex, Bumblebee, York City, Kaga, Shoukaku, or Daito?
Clearly, Akagi was a rival to her, so Lexington was reluctant to approach, especially after realizing that the Admiral didn't even recognize Akagi. The more she thought about it, the less she wanted to go up and acknowledge Akagi. It would be best if the Admiral could never remember who Akagi was, as that would mean one less rival for her.
Of course, Lexington knew this was impossible. However, she also didn't want to expose Akagi's identity; that would be equivalent to helping her directly. So she preferred to stay on the sidelines and watch the show, mostly to see Akagi make a fool of herself, especially with that pitiful expression on her face.
However, while jokes could be watched, when Lexington realized that Akagi was clearly playing with the Admiral, that was something she couldn't tolerate.
"Is she really Akagi?"
Suddenly, Chuyang felt quite foolish. He had been trying to get close to her without realizing that she was actually one of his own Fleet Girls, and the very one he was looking for. Moreover, she had been obvious from the start; even the most bold-hearted Fleet Girls would never sit calmly and eat with a stranger like an unfamiliar Admiral. It was just like when he tried to invite those Fleet Girls at the academy; they simply weren't interested in him, leading to countless failed invitations.
Additionally, were there many black-haired, black-eyed Fleet Girls? Not counting others in the world, at least those under his command were based on game settings. Therefore, there weren't many black-haired, black-eyed ones who could eat so much. It should have been obvious! But why hadn't he thought of it? Was it just because Akagi wasn't wearing a kendo uniform but ordinary black clothes that he couldn't recognize her?
He really felt quite foolish.
"Yes, I am Akagi, your Fleet Girl, Akagi." When she said this, Akagi's smile was as bright as fireworks.
It didn't matter that the Admiral didn't recognize her; as long as she recognized the Admiral, that was enough. Besides, back at the Naval Base, the Admiral had never appeared at all. Although each of them could feel that the Admiral seemed to be by their side at every moment, no one had ever seen the Admiral. So whether the Admiral was secretly hiding somewhere in the Naval Base watching each of them or was remotely commanding everything at the Naval Base through telegrams was anyone's guess. Therefore, it wasn't strange that the Admiral couldn't recognize her.
"Damn European Dog."
An angry male voice suddenly echoed throughout the hotel, and when Chuyang and the others turned their gaze over, they only caught a glimpse of a white corner of clothing at the entrance.
It was obvious that this was another Admiral, who had witnessed the entire encounter between Akagi and Chuyang.
"Admiral, did Akagi cause you any trouble?" As she said this, Akagi looked timid, her expression a mix of grievance and fear.
"No trouble, I'm used to it."
With Akagi looking so pitiful, what else could Chuyang say? Besides, he had encountered such situations many times before. Not to mention just being called a European Dog; there were plenty of people who wished to skin him alive. So Chuyang truly didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he felt a bit proud. This treatment was not something those African Salty Fish could enjoy; only successful individuals like him could bask in the envious and resentful gazes of others.
"Honey, don't be fooled by her appearance." Lexington sat down close to Chuyang and shot a warning glance at Akagi.
From this moment on, the war between her and Akagi had already begun.
"Am I confusing the Admiral?" Akagi feigned innocence with a gentle smile, returning to her demeanor as a graceful classical lady.
But in reality, beneath her calm expression, Akagi nearly ground her silver teeth in frustration. Lexington's sweet "honey" had already said it all; she had officially become a true wife while Akagi remained just Akagi, an ordinary member among many Fleet Girls. In this round, she had lost without any chance to fight back.
Due to the fact that Akagi had eaten all the food from the previous table, Chuyang ordered another full spread.
However, every time Lexington tried to pick up a dish, Akagi would always reach for it first, making Lexington feel quite embarrassed. Several times, she had to change her target midway.
But do you think that was the end of it? It was not. As Lexington extended her chopsticks towards other dishes, Akagi would also shift her focus accordingly. Soon, Akagi had finished a bowl of white rice and called the waiter for another, while Lexington had barely touched her rice.
"She's doing it on purpose; she is definitely doing it on purpose."
Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but when it happened every time, it was clear that Akagi did not want her to enjoy her meal. Yet in front of the Admiral, Lexington felt she couldn't say much. She constantly reminded herself to maintain her composure. She could only suppress the urge to slam her chopsticks on the table and quietly began to eat her rice.
"Madam, here’s something for you."
Seeing everything unfold, Chuyang felt helpless. Akagi was one of his Fleet Girls, and also one of the Fleet Girls whose favorability he had maxed out in the game as a Lieutenant General. Therefore, he couldn’t say much and could only help his wife through practical actions.
"Honey, you are so good to me," Lexington smiled sweetly as she leisurely picked up the slices of beef that Chuyang had placed in her bowl, looking as if she was enjoying it immensely.
"Admiral, could you please help me get a spoonful of steamed egg custard? I can't reach it."
"Alright!" Chuyang replied with a helpless expression.
The table between them was not a large round table but rather a small rectangular one, about one meter long and fifty centimeters wide, similar to those found in KFC. It was hard to believe that even someone over 1.6 meters tall like Akagi, or even the 1.3-meter-tall Veneto, would have trouble reaching for food. So...
