"Fox spirit." The word popped into Lexington's mind.
For a long time, Saratoga had been whispering about Richelieu in her ear, but Lexington did not share that opinion.
How should she put it? No matter how Richelieu and the Admiral interacted privately, even if they were playing role-playing games, in public, Richelieu maintained a rather reserved demeanor. At the very least, she never let the Admiral feed her in front of others.
So Richelieu could not be considered a fox spirit, and now...
Watching Akagi with her mouth wide open, allowing the Admiral to feed her spoonful by spoonful, Lexington felt a surge of anger rising within her.
However, aside from cursing Akagi as "shameless" in her heart, Lexington felt utterly helpless.
Of course, it wasn't that she had no options; she could easily imitate Akagi and have Chuyang feed her. But for the gentle and dignified Lexington, even in front of her own people at the Naval Base, she felt embarrassed to let the Admiral feed her. Let alone in such a public setting—she still had her pride! Of course, if the Admiral were to feed her voluntarily, she couldn't let herself lose face in front of Akagi; she had to maintain her presence.
"Madam, would you like to eat?" Chuyang switched to another spoon and lifted a generous scoop of egg and lean meat porridge to Lexington's mouth.
"Honey." Lexington's voice was sweet but before she could open her mouth, a sharp reprimand suddenly came from the dining crowd nearby.
"Enough already! Finish eating and quickly settle the bill and leave."
There was no helping it; this guy simply couldn't stand it any longer. They were a group of single men taking advantage of their rare free time before the New Year to gather together. Even though they had drunk a bit and were feeling a little excited, they hadn't provoked anyone. Yet here they were, being showered with dog food for no reason at all. How could they endure that?
In fact, it wasn't just the table next to Chuyang; at least half of the customers in the restaurant had stopped eating and were glaring at Chuyang and his companions.
Moreover, if it weren't for Chuyang's status as the Admiral and the two obviously powerful Fleet Girls beside him, that group would have rushed over to beat up the Admiral and Chuyang until they couldn't take care of themselves.
They were still single! Not to mention finding someone as beautiful as a Fleet Girl to marry; even someone like Dong Shi was nowhere in sight!
But Chuyang was doing well—he had two! Clearly showing off! And they could only endure it because he was the Admiral! But seriously, couldn't he show off his affection at home? It was infuriating.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to offend the wrath of the masses. Under the envious and disdainful gazes of the diners, Chuyang left the restaurant with Lexington and Akagi, a smug expression on his face.
...
"Little Akagi, who are they?" The woman who spoke was in her thirties, with long black hair tied back in a ponytail using a hair tie. She wore a casual red Japanese kimono, an apron around her waist, and a towel draped around her neck, looking very much like a Boss lady.
"Fengxiang, let me introduce you. This is my Admiral, Chuyang, and you can just call her Lexington."
"Hello, I'm Feng Xiang, the Boss of this shop. If you don't mind, you can just call me Boss lady."
Feng Xiang's appearance was not particularly striking among the fleet of stunning Fleet Girls; she could only be described as average. However, her expression was quite gentle.
At this moment, it had been about ten minutes since the three of them left the restaurant. They were now in a small Japanese eatery named Izakaya.
Perhaps due to its location in a secluded alley, even though it was mealtime, there were not many customers in this traditionally decorated Japanese restaurant. Only three suspected Fleet Girls—two adults and one child—were gathered around a low table in the corner.
"Hello, Boss lady." Chuyang responded readily, and Lexington naturally followed suit.
"Lexington Poi! American ship, cut." A sudden interjection interrupted their greetings.
The speaker was a pink-haired Loli Shipgirl sitting next to an Elder Sister-Class Shipgirl in the corner. The little girl's pink hair seemed somewhat unruly, sticking up slightly at the sides of her head like two small animal ears. Coupled with her small tiger teeth showing when she spoke, she looked quite adorable.
Of course, this was just Chuyang's impression; Lexington did not share the same view after being mocked. However, since the other party was a Loli, she didn't want to argue.
"Shut up." The Elder Sister-Class Shipgirl directly tapped the pink-haired Loli on the head before turning to face Chuyang and the others. "I'm sorry; she's just a child without any filter. I apologize on her behalf."
Though she said that, the Elder Sister Fleet Girl's face was cold and showed no signs of genuine apology; it seemed more like a provocation.
But since she had already said that, Lexington could only respond blandly, "It's fine."
"I'm sorry about that, Lexington; they have that kind of personality..." Boss lady Feng Xiang said with a humble expression to smooth things over.
However, before she could finish her sentence, the pink-haired Loli spoke again. "Feng Xiang mama, how come my bento isn't ready yet? Poi! Could you please hurry? Poi!"
Alright, this time Loli is not looking for trouble, just ordering her own bento.
"I'm sorry, that was rude of me."
"It's fine, Fengxiang, you go ahead with what you're doing. I'll take Admiral back to the room first."
...
Under Akagi's lead, the three of them passed through a small door next to the counter in the store and arrived at the backyard of this little shop.
Aside from the main building that serves as the storefront, this small courtyard, which is similar to an old Beijing siheyuan, has two rows of guest rooms built on the left and right, all in a pure Japanese style.
On the way here, Chuyang roughly told Akagi about his experiences over the past few years, and similarly, Akagi shared her own experiences.
Indeed, Akagi is a genuine food critic and works for Michelin, a company that enjoys great prestige in the culinary world. She came to Rongcheng partly to find Admiral and partly to discover more unique local delicacies in this largest city on the southeastern coast of Asia.
She has been in Rongcheng for a full month and a half now, often relying on this Japanese restaurant she stumbled upon.
After settling into Akagi's room in the left row of guest rooms, Chuyang curiously asked,
"Akagi, who are those three Fleet Girls?"
