The scene is warm, just as Veneto described, with the two of them resembling a mother and daughter.
Chuyang rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
"Brother Chu Yang." From a distance, the firefly waved its little hand in greeting as it saw Chuyang approaching.
"Admiral." Like a sudden change in a Sichuan opera, the Prince of Wales restored his usual serious expression. This does not mean that the Prince of Wales has any objections to Chuyang or that Chuyang is less important than the firefly in his heart.
In fact, if we were to discuss it, Chuyang would definitely rank first in the Prince of Wales's heart. But how should I put it? It's somewhat like unrequited love; you know your crush very well, clearly understanding their personality and preferences, familiar with their every move, and comprehending the meaning behind each little action. In short, you know everything about them.
However, this is one-sided. The other person does not understand you at all and may sometimes appear quite awkward during interactions. How can you feel completely at ease in front of them?
Perhaps when their relationship progresses further, the Prince of Wales will no longer be as serious when facing Chuyang. But that is for later; at least for now, there hasn't been any substantial progress in their relationship.
"I'm planning to go to Rongcheng tomorrow. Do you want to come?" Sitting next to the Prince of Wales, Chuyang grabbed the firefly and playfully rubbed its face before letting it go.
"Lexington Sister said to give Brother Chu Yang and Sister of Prince of Wales some space."
The firefly thought as it ran far away.
"Are you going to pick up a business?"
Taking out a glass of red wine from the ship's storage space, the Prince of Wales took a light sip, his tone casual.
"It's not just to pick someone up; I have other things to do in Rongcheng tomorrow," Chuyang explained while holding onto the Prince of Wales's idle hand.
Chuyang has also come to terms with the situation. Since the Prince of Wales is already his partner, it can't continue like this forever! Therefore, he needs to focus on building their relationship.
Of course, it would be a bit disingenuous to say that Chuyang has no feelings for the Prince of Wales at all. After all, she is a beautiful woman! Naturally, she attracts the attention of men, especially someone as stunning as the Prince of Wales.
"Have you thought about Nelson, Rodney, Hood, and Reputation for a counterattack?" The Prince of Wales did not pull her hand away and allowed Chuyang to hold it.
"Why did you think of them?" Chuyang asked.
To be honest, a game is just a game. Even though these Fleet Girls were absolute mainstays in the early stages of the team, in reality, before meeting them, Chuyang had no special feelings for these Fleet Girls; they were more or less strangers.
As for after meeting them! Chuyang would naturally treat them well, but that had nothing to do with feelings; it was more out of a sense of responsibility. For example, with Lexington, although Chuyang fell in love at first sight with her, initially, their feelings were not very deep, and he wasn't particularly familiar with Lexington.
However, Lexington treated Chuyang as if he were her husband, giving off a sense of familiarity akin to an old married couple, which is why their relationship progressed so quickly.
Later on, Saratoga was even more so; Sister-in-law was fiery and proactive. As for the seductress Richelieu, that goes without saying. But when it comes to the Prince of Wales, it was entirely different; it’s like the saying goes: "A man pursues a woman across mountains; a woman pursues a man through thin veils."
So despite Chuyang repeatedly saying he wants to bring back every Fleet Girl, he doesn't think much about it when they are not standing in front of him. He simply cannot think about it because his memories of them are almost nonexistent.
"There’s no particular reason; I just felt like mentioning it. Just now, Firefly brought up that person known as Feilin from HMS Renown, and that reminded me of them."
The Prince of Wales spoke calmly while casually pushing her golden hair back from her eyes.
"Admiral, do you remember when they arrived at Naval Base?"
"I don't remember." After all this time has passed, he could only recall names like Lexington and the Prince of Wales due to their fame.
In his previous life, among the player community, these were all familiar and frequently used Fleet Girls. Therefore, even after a long time, Chuyang would still have some impression of them. However, if you suddenly asked him which country Eskimo belonged to among the Fleet Girls, Chuyang would definitely be confused and blurt out, "Is there such a Fleet Girl?"
So it was already quite good that Chuyang knew about Hood, Nelson, and others in the Naval Base. Expecting him to remember the order in which every Fleet Girl arrived at the Naval Base was simply unrealistic.
"Admiral, do you remember when I arrived at the Naval Base?"
"Uh!" Chuyang was at a loss for words. He knew where Prince of Wales came from; the operator opened the door and offered warmth, and reaching level fifty granted her as a reward. But he really couldn't recall the specific day.
"Admiral, when you have time, you should ask Firefly and Lexington more often," Prince of Wales reminded him. "Firefly, being your initial ship, remembers many Fleet Girls' arrival times at the Naval Base, while Lexington, as your Secretary Ship, clearly remembers each Fleet Girl's background and their names."
"It doesn't matter what you say to me, but what about others? When they return to the Naval Base and the Admiral can't even remember their names, how do you think they will feel?"
"They will definitely be unhappy," Chuyang muttered to himself. Kirov was the best proof; that girl almost flipped the table.
But he felt helpless. The memories that had suddenly appeared in his mind due to the Contract Ring were gradually fading for some unknown reason. His impression of the Fleet Girls mostly remained at the exquisite illustrations in the game. Even if the Fleet Girls under his command resembled those in the game, they were still separated by a dimension; it would be miraculous if he could recognize them upon sudden encounters.
"When I arrived at the Naval Base, Hood, Reputation, Counterattack, Nelson, and Rodney were already there and all part of the main fleet. They were your absolute aces. Later on, when my training with Richelieu, Bismarck, and Tirpitz improved, you rarely sent them out for missions."
"That seems right," Chuyang replied. To be honest, when he first played the game, he didn't spend money on it; thus, he had very few ships built. As a result, he didn't have any Fleet Girls like Richelieu and could only rely on those he salvaged like Nelson, Rodney, Hood, and Reputation to hold up appearances. It wasn't until he spent 648 that he finally got Richelieu and others.
However, at that time he was busy progressing through levels; since Richelieu and other Fleet Girls weren't high-level yet, he directly threw them into exercises while still using Hood and others for expeditions. So Prince of Wales was absolutely correct in saying that Hood and her companions were aces. But he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was a hint of sarcasm in Prince of Wales's words regarding him abandoning those who had served him well.
