In fact, when the firefly called out for the first time, Lexington heard it. However, while she could understand the firefly's feelings, she did not agree with Kiddo's actions. To some extent, the fact that the firefly acknowledged someone else as Admiral created a barrier in Lexington's heart towards the firefly.
Moreover, although she did not know how the firefly found this place, Lexington had a rough idea of why the girl came to find her.
As a Fleet Girl, what is the most basic code of conduct? It is loyalty to the Admiral. Take her for example; even though the Admiral never showed up during her time at Naval Base, she still devoted herself wholeheartedly to thinking about the Admiral. For instance, when Shoukaku arrived at Naval Base, she never made things difficult for Shoukaku and did not skimp on her food and clothing. Shoukaku had everything that other Fleet Girls had. But one must remember that she and Shoukaku were enemies, and of a life-and-death kind.
In the history of World War II in the Old World, the American aircraft carrier Lexington (CV-2) encountered an attack from the Japanese aircraft carrier Shoukaku's carrier-based aircraft on the Pacific Battlefield, which led to its sinking.
Although one cannot conflate the history of the Old World with Fleet Girls, it is worth noting that Fleet Girls were born from the steel remnants that carried the memories of Old World battleships, so they are inevitably influenced by it to some extent.
At Naval Base, what is Lexington? She is a Secretary Ship. If she wanted to make things difficult for the newcomer Shoukaku, it would have been incredibly easy. But why didn’t she do that? Was it not for the Admiral? In fact, she even asked Shoukaku to bring back her other enemy, Shokaku, to Naval Base simply because it would strengthen Naval Base and make the Admiral happier.
Thus, it is not hard to understand what the firefly came to find her for. It was nothing more than to persuade her to join Chuyang's side.
But was Lexington the kind of ungrateful woman who was disloyal to the Admiral? So she simply ignored the firefly.
However, when Chuyang's words reached her, Lexington immediately turned her body towards the shore.
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly; could you please repeat that?"
"I said I know your sister Saratoga is over there; she's your biological sister." Chuyang repeated, deliberately emphasizing the last three words.
In this world, not all Saratogas are the sisters of Lexington, nor are all Fleet Girls named Lexington necessarily the older sisters of Saratoga.
Theoretically, only when a pair of sister ships is built by the same Admiral can they be considered sisters. Otherwise, they are just ordinary acquaintances and do not see each other as siblings. For example, the Naval Headquarters Chief Inspector Kongou and Shen Yan's Secretary Ship Haruna; by name, Haruna should be Kongou's third sister, but in reality, they are not even friends. They only know each other because of Shen Yan.
Of course, nothing is absolute. At times, some Fleet Girls that spontaneously emerge from the Wreckage of Warships may also be sisters with those built by an Admiral.
"Is he talking about Jaja?" Lexington thought to herself as she confidently jumped off the ship into the sea, holding two suitcases amidst the astonished gazes of others. As her feet touched the water's surface, her amphibious suit's tail suddenly kicked up a spray of white waves, propelling her toward the shore.
For Lexington, there is no one more important in this world than her sister. Therefore, she will not miss any news regarding Saratoga. However, if someone dares to deceive her, even if they are the Admiral of Firefly, she will not hesitate to teach them a harsh lesson.
Lexington's actions naturally caused a stir at the dock. However, this is Rongcheng, not an inland city; Fleet Girls are not so rare that they can be compared to national treasures. So aside from a few inexperienced individuals pointing at Lexington from a distance, most people quickly returned to their own business after their initial surprise.
Once on shore, Lexington's initially excited mood calmed down. She placed her suitcases aside and tucked away the loose strands of hair blown by the sea breeze before turning to Chuyang.
However, before Lexington could speak, Firefly rushed over first.
"Lexington Sister, where are you going? Are you leaving Firefly?" Little Kiddo clung to Lexington's sleeve with a pitiful expression on her face.
When they were at the Naval Base, Firefly was one of the initial ships and arrived there early on. Lexington wasn't far behind her. For quite some time, Firefly followed closely behind Lexington. Even when Prince of Wales arrived later, Little Kiddo remained very attached to Lexington.
Now that she had finally found Lexington Sister (Little Kiddo was purely flattering herself), it felt particularly unfair for her that Lexington Sister was about to leave without even saying goodbye. After all, Loli really liked Lexington Sister and even regarded her as a mother figure to some extent. As for who the father is? That would naturally be Prince of Wales—her big brother! In some ways, he still exudes a strong masculine charm.
However, why Firefly as a Fleet Girl would have such peculiar thoughts remains a mystery.
"But you already have Admiral!" Lexington squatted down, took a rubber band out of her pocket, and began to comb Kiddo's hair just like she used to at Naval Base.
It was unnatural not to do so. During the two years at Naval Base, Firefly's first task every morning was to find Lexington. There was no choice; Kiddo couldn't comb her own hair, and as for "Big Brother" Prince of Wales, expecting her to help... even her hair was managed by Reputation. So, this had almost become a conditioned reflex for Lexington.
At that moment, by the azure sea, on a bustling dock, a little girl stood with a look of grievance on her face. Behind her, a young woman crouched down, a purple rubber band wrapped around her fair wrist, gently combing through the little girl's messy hair. The warm sunlight bathed the woman, as if enveloping her in a layer of something called Maternal Radiance.
