The existence of the Naval Headquarters is fundamentally to protect all Fleet Girls around the world from unnecessary harm. Although Fleet Girls are almost superhuman compared to physically weak humans and are unlikely to be harmed by them, one must not forget the special group known as Admirals.
When facing their own Admirals, Fleet Girls often do not understand how to refuse. As long as the request is not too excessive, they tend to comply with their Admirals, especially the younger Loli Shipgirls. This has allowed some unscrupulous Admirals to take advantage of the situation. They exploit the trust of Lolis, asking them to bathe or sleep with them. While these Admirals may not actually intend to do anything inappropriate, this behavior is still considered unacceptable by the Naval Headquarters. Therefore, any Admiral who dares to act inappropriately towards Young Girl Shipgirls is a target for strict action by the Gendarmerie.
However, the little Loli Shipgirls who are "harassed" by the Admirals do not see it that way; they perceive it as a form of affection from their Admirals. Thus, in many instances, the Naval Headquarters seems overly meddlesome, akin to a dog catching mice.
Now, watching Richelieu leave with an unhappy expression, Houston felt like Zhu Bajie looking into a mirror—feeling out of place both inside and out.
"Hmph! A dog biting Lü Dongbin—unable to recognize a good person’s heart. Just wait! There will come a time when you regret it," Houston said indignantly.
Despite saying this, due to her feelings for Richelieu, Houston thought that as long as Chuyang did not go too far, she would just turn a blind eye and pretend not to see.
Thinking further, who among those recognized by Fleet Girls could truly be a despicable person capable of committing such heinous acts against young girls?
Including her colleague London's Admiral, who merely had a Loli Complex and was far from being perverted. The incident at that time was not serious; he simply asked his Loli Shipgirl to stand outside the bathtub and help him scrub his back while he bathed.
If such an incident were discovered by the local Gendarmerie, he would likely be detained for three months at most for labor reform before being released. In more severe cases, sharing a bath with a Loli could lead to a maximum sentence of one year.
But unfortunately, this incident was witnessed by Bismarck, one of the three major generals of the Naval Headquarters. She was inspecting the work of the Military Police Bureau in New Harlan City and happened to visit Fleet Girls like London who had been married off from the Naval Headquarters.
Thus, what was meant to be a visit turned into an arrest. This general, known as the Iron-Blooded Overlord, was someone who would not tolerate any wrongdoing and directly set London's Admiral up as an example.
If it weren't for the boss of London, that same Prince of Wales who is one of the Three Admirals of the Naval Headquarters, the Admiral in London wouldn't just be sentenced to three years; he would have been locked up for ten or eight years.
Even so, because the Naval Base lost its Admiral, the Naval Headquarters could no longer provide any supplies to the Naval Base in London. The local government, following the agreement established between the World Government and the Admiral Alliance, reclaimed the Naval Base. With no other choice, London had to move out of the Naval Base and rented a very cheap apartment in New Harlan City as a place to stay.
At that time, when Houston learned about London's situation, she was nearly brought to tears.
Due to the two children being too young, even with her family's Loli Shipgirl helping to look after them, London still couldn't stray too far away. She couldn't take on high-paying jobs like escorting as a Fleet Girl. Therefore, to make ends meet, London found two jobs near her rented apartment: working as a waitress in a café during the day and promoting drinks at a bar at night, sleeping only four or five hours each day. Moreover, whether at the café or the bar, every so often, London had to plead with her supervisors for time off to go home and care for her children, living in a state of despair.
It was precisely because she witnessed London's painful experience that Houston didn't want to see Richelieu follow in her footsteps. So she kindly reminded her, but unexpectedly, her good intentions were taken as insincerity.
"Is my wallet going to be at risk again?" Looking at Chuyang, who was playing lift-the-baby with fireflies at the dock, Houston wore a gloomy expression.
Initially, she had given all her savings accumulated over the years to help London. Now that her wallet had finally started to fill up again, seeing Chuyang acting recklessly and Richelieu ignoring her advice made Houston feel that her future was bleak.
By the time everything was settled, it was already noon.
Originally, Chuyang wanted to invite Houston and Penelope for lunch, but was rejected by Houston, who also issued a serious warning for him to tone it down.
"Do I look like I have a Loli Complex?" Chuyang asked his group of Fleet Girls, pointing at his own nose.
As a result, aside from two Loli, everyone else—whether it was Lexington, Saratoga, or even the trying-to-be-inconspicuous Isuzu—nodded seriously in agreement.
".........." Chuyang was speechless. After all, he just liked hugging fireflies and often patted little Andrea Doria's head; how did that get him labeled with a Loli Complex?
"By the way, Admiral, what do you want for lunch?" Looking at the sun overhead, Lexington spoke up.
"Sister Lexington, I want dumplings." Before Chuyang could say anything, Firefly had already spoken first.
"Dumplings are delicious, but nothing is more fun than a sister-in-law," Chuyang mumbled.
"Brother-in-law, you're really shameless." Saratoga spat, but then leaned closer to Chuyang and whispered, "It's a pity you don't have a sister-in-law, only a Sister-in-law."
And so lunch was decided. After all, this was the first meal everyone gathered together at the Naval Base, and dumplings symbolizing reunion were just perfect.
The main force in making dumplings was undoubtedly Lexington and Saratoga. The claim of being a perfect wife with ten skills is no joke. Although Saratoga, as her younger sister, may not be as skilled as her sister, she is still quite capable inside and out.
As for Chuyang, she was just okay; she could make them but at a very slow pace, even slower than Isuzu.
As for Richelieu, well! She was on the same level as Andrea Doria and Firefly; no matter what, she couldn't manage to combine the dumpling skin and filling properly.
In the end, Chuyang, unable to bear watching them waste food, was sent out of the kitchen.
However, when the steaming dumplings were served on the table, large tears flowed from Firefly's eyes; Loli missed her Princess of Wales.
