The time-based admiral of KanColle

"No matter how you look at it, this is more than just appreciation and care!"

Alfredo, who was dressed like a young reporter and wearing a black and gold cape over a slim-fitting Sardinian uniform, blinked his eyes and held the camera in his hand. He added to Garibaldi, who was sitting on a bench in front of him, "Ms. Roma, it seems...she has started to like that human! Although I know nothing about love, I am sure she is right."

"Hoohoo~ Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Following Alfredo's judgment, Pessagno, who was squatting in the corner with his knees hugged, slightly raised his pink face, holding down his pink cascade hair, looking a little unable to accept the reality.

Because she is a Vittorio Veneto-class battleship, the pearl of the Sardinian Empire, Rome.

To put it bluntly, Lady Roma's attitude towards humans is like that of some strategic game players where each person is a Class A war criminal. To her, humans are nothing more than emotionless numbers.

"In short, this is huge gossip. Do you think I should publish it in the newspaper?"

"Well, Alfredo, if you do this, aren't you afraid that Lady Roma will tie you up with iron blocks and sink you into the trench?"

Seeing Alfredo, who was about to lose his gossiping instinct, Bolzano, who was sitting in a particularly ladylike posture with her black and white legs pressed down, could not help but slowly put her hand on the chest of her uniform and narrated softly: "I think it would be better for us not to interfere with Lord Roma and the others."

"But Miss Brest seems to..."

"Well... I understand what you mean, but you shouldn't be so surprised."

Seeing that the most introverted Pessagno had revealed a confused and cute expression, Garibaldi, who was hugging her chest, nodded to herself, and then said in a playful and optimistic tone: "Because I came here earlier than you, I have already noticed the clues between Yaxu and them, huh~?"

"In fact, besides Roma and the others, Buqu, Da Vinci and the others also seem to care about that human. Even I think I can get along well with him."

Garibaldi, with his short grey-green hair and slightly smug expression, smiled and explained to Alfredo and the others, "You should have noticed that he can remain calm and composed in front of us, so it's very easy to get along with him."

"Besides, he's really good at chatting, and he's willing to mess around with Da Vinci and the others, so it's fun to find him, isn't it?"

Having said that, Garibaldi smiled and took advantage of the time when Bolzano and the others were thinking, and playfully pressed the service call bell in the room.

So not long after, facing the intense gazes of Pessagno and the others, Yaxu, who had knocked on the door outside, quickly pushed open the sliding door and walked in, then looked at Garibaldi with concern and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay. Compared to this, I don't think it bothered you."

"No, it's just that Miss Empire wants me to feed her. It's not appropriate for me to do this, so can you please help, Miss Garibaldi?"

After confirming that there was nothing important on Garibaldi's side, Yaxu inevitably looked away with some embarrassment.

After all, the somewhat naive Empire seemed to lack common sense, and looking at this lazy and soft Roman sister raising her beautiful face towards him and slightly opening her soft lips waiting to be fed, he was really embarrassed to feed her as a pet.

Thinking of this, Yaxu, who was in a delicate mood, was about to ask Garibaldi for help, but the next second, Alfredo, who couldn't hold back anymore, suddenly jumped behind Yaxu and patted Yaxu's back with a little excitement.

"Wait, human, can you spare some time for me to interview you briefly? These are just some simple questions! Like hobbies, favorite foods, favorite types, etc.!"

"Your type? Well, love is supposed to be a matter of mutual choice, and I don't think I have the right to choose."

Facing Alfredo's sudden question, Yaxu raised his hand and scratched his cheek with a slightly red face, and then responded apologetically: "Sorry, if you want to consult about love, I don't think I am qualified in this area (whispering)."

Considering that although Alfredo and the others are ship girls, they are essentially beautiful young girls, so it is understandable that they want to consult about the relationship between men and women or gossip. Yaxu did not seem too surprised, but decided to express his views well.

"But I personally think that as long as you can maintain your own type, you are good enough. The most important thing is to be able to attract each other unconcealedly."

"Really? In that case, what do you think of our Lord Roman!?"

His clear eyes were filled with excitement, and Alfredo, who raised the camera in his arms, completely exposed his purpose at this moment.

Oh my god! Alfredo, don't you want to save your boat!!!

Seeing Alfredo decide to completely abandon his moral principles in order to uphold his journalistic instincts, Pessagno and the others standing next to him immediately showed worried expressions, but at the same time they also admired Alfredo's decisiveness.

That's right, as long as she can get this information, Alfredo can sell this gossip to her own Lord Roman in the future!

Facing Alfredo's expectant gaze, Yaxu was stunned for a moment and pursed his lower lip, his face flushed and his vision began to wander.

After a long while, Yaxu responded with a blush, "Miss Roma... is a very dazzling person. Although I sometimes confront or refute her, in fact, she is dazzling enough to make me feel inferior."

"It feels like if I'm not careful, I'll be completely overshadowed by her brilliance. That's probably how it feels."

Hearing Yaxu's particularly sincere answer, Garibaldi and the others suddenly fell silent with some strange feelings.

In response, with the intention of seeing Yaxu clearly for his own Rome, Pessagno, who was holding the navigation log, asked Yaxu softly in a cute way: "Well, do you think there is any difference between what you see with your eyes and what you see with a telescope?"

"Well...although the scenery seen up close is more real, only a telescope can give you a sense of distance."

Looking at the telescope hanging around Pessagno's neck, Yaxu couldn't help but smile and said to Pessagno: "So, the telescope can bring a sense of peace of mind, right?"

"Well, the telescope allows me to see things I care about from a long distance... Well, I can see them from a long distance without disturbing anyone, so, that's good~?"

Seeing that Yaxu understood her romantic attitude towards the telescope, Pessagno, with the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, immediately nodded his head in agreement.

After seeing that Pessagno and Alfredo had seen through Yaxu in their own ways for Roma, Bolzano, who was not far away, hesitated and asked Yaxu softly, "Well, what kind of ship girl do you think I am, Mr. Yaxu?"

"It seems that Miss Bolzano often distances herself from others unintentionally. Rather than being introverted, is it more like... deliberately keeping a distance from others?"

Hearing Yaxu's friendly smile, Bolzano, whose beautiful eyes slightly widened, couldn't help but purse his lower lip, then took two steps back with a slightly dizzy face, and said sincerely: "Sure enough, Mr. Yaxu is really amazing."

"Because I'm often unlucky, I'm worried that it will affect others, but this makes Da Vinci and the others worry about me."

"Really? It seems like we each have our own hardships."

After hearing the pager on his waist beeping again, Yaxu smiled slightly and then politely stood up and left.

As he watched Yaxu leave, Garibaldi, with a joking look on his face, looked at Bolzano and the others who looked a little strange, and said jokingly: "How about it, now you can understand it, right?"

"Well, he is indeed... Ugh! Ro-Lord Roman!?"

Just when Alfredo and the others couldn't help but sigh that humans are awesome, the beautiful Roma was standing at the sliding door, looking at them expressionlessly.

"Is it fun?"

"Gu~Gudong!"

Seeing Roma appear at the door without knowing when, Alfredo, who was sweating coldly, immediately tugged at Bolzano beside him and said sadly: "Bolzano, after I die, you must send out all the news that I haven't sent out (sad)!"

After saying that, just when Alfredo was ready to die, for some reason, Roma, who seemed to be full of aura in the past, did not say much at this time, but closed his eyes silently, and then with a slightly drunk face, he asked Garibaldi and the others meaningfully: "So, did the human say anything else?"

"Um, Lord Roman, when did you start eavesdropping?"

"It started with you asking him what type he liked, so what else did you talk about before that!?"

Chapter 1461: Love Letter from Hong Kong? Element Detection!

"Besides that, did the human say anything else?"

In the elegant room with a slightly depressing atmosphere, facing Roma's aggressive questioning eyes, Alfredo and the others, feeling guilty, hurriedly shook their heads and added: "That's really all I can say, Lord Roma!"

"Really? Compared to this, do you really think I'm starting to like that human?"

After glancing at Garibaldi who seemed a little nervous, Roma, like a proud peacock, sat down on a bench not far away, leaned back, raised his thighs high, and said in a cold voice: "What a joke, don't I know my own condition!"

Hearing Roma's remarks that seemed to show disdain for Yaxu, Bolzano and the others looked at each other in bewilderment and naturally didn't say much.

Until the next second, the playful Garibaldi suddenly blinked his amber eyes in a playful manner, and then deliberately reminded Roma, who had a stern face, "Sorry, we were just joking just now. Indeed, Master Roma would not have such a boring mood."

"It's just that... Miss Brest and the others seem to have fallen in love with the human. Didn't they serve him tea and water today? Lord Roma, do you think I should go and help them?"

"Wait, Garibaldi, what on earth do you mean by that!"

Hearing Garibaldi's seemingly unintentional joke, Roma, who had frowned, instantly tensed up. After a while, she swung her luxurious high heels slightly as if in compromise, and said in a deep voice: "Thinking carefully, I have indeed been irritated by humans recently. You may have noticed it."

"So I think it's definitely my desire to conquer and collect that's kicking in."

Roma used her scallion-like jade fingers to twirl the deep blue wavy hair, nodded her pretty head, and then added in a nonchalant manner: "I have to say that he is indeed a valuable human being. As the orthodox successor of Romulus' will, the cause of conquest is rooted in my instinct. He is an interesting and excellent individual prop, so it is natural for me to want to plunder him."

"So now I need your advice, understand?"

Ah, yes, yes! Although this sounds like a lie to myself, as long as it is said by Lord Rome, it is right!

Looking at Rome who suddenly asked for their opinions, the sensible Pessagno and the others naturally nodded in cooperation.

Unfortunately, the combined love experience of these ship girls may not be as good as that of a female college student in the outside world. Even if they are asked to give some emotional advice, they really can't say it.

Seeing that Bolzano and the others were looking at him with a vacant gaze, they all showed signs of guilt. Roma, who had his hands on his knees, also frowned in disappointment.

"Garibaldi, do you have any ideas?"

After temporarily ignoring Alfredo and his group of obviously useless guys, Roma, leaning on the bench, finally looked at Garibaldi slowly and gracefully.

After all, as the big sister of the electric wave department, Garibaldi with her short gray-green hair should look more reliable.

"Ah, come to think of it, hasn't the human race been conquered by you? Look, he is serving us every day, and he is just short of feeding the Empire with his own hands."

"Ridiculous! The conquest of the Sardinian Empire is not such a superficial existence. You have to know that humans now have the same attitude towards everyone, including those Iris Ship Girls!"

After noticing that Garibaldi seemed to want to brush it off, Roma took a deep breath and then placed her hand on the royal sister's chest, saying righteously: "And what I want is to conquer him thoroughly, so that he will regard Roma as the most important existence, ignore other unnecessary ship girls, and concentrate on serving us!"

"You are truly worthy of being Lord Roma!"

Listening to Roma's remarks which sounded like jealousy in love, even though they wanted to complain loudly, out of the so-called desire to survive, Alfredo and the others immediately clapped their hands and cheered for their Sardinian leader.

"So what do you think I should do to win his heart?"

Seeing Roma showing his annoyance for the first time in a long time, Alfredo, the gossip reporter, couldn't control his mouth in the end. He raised his hand and tentatively suggested to Roma: "How about showing more thighs in front of him?"

"..."

Faced with Alfredo's proposal, which sounded wrong no matter how he spoke, Roma, expressionless, immediately turned his head to look at Bolzano and the others, and asked, "Any ideas that are really useful, other than her extremely vulgar and rotten ideas?"

"Well, Lord Roma, you've heard it too. Mr. Yaxu has a crush on you, so go out with him more often... no, invite him to have tea more often, and he'll naturally understand your power."

"Yeah."

Faced with the suggestion of the older sister from Bolzano, the thoughtful Roma stood up and left the room the next second with her usual strong aura, leaving Garibaldi and the others looking at each other awkwardly.

And at the same time——

In the warm and elegant rest area, facing the viewing window with a view of the courtyard, the soft and lazy Empire is now lying on the pillow, half-closed his turquoise eyes, and relaxedly swaying his misty brown hair from side to side.

The dark green cape matched with the well-fitting Sardinian uniform skirt made the young and beautiful Empire nod her head up and down in a struggle, and soon raised her delicate hand with sleepy eyes, and said to Yaxu in the distance: "Okay, I'm going to sleep. Since the Empire is very powerful, you just stand by. Just leave and leave me alone."

"In that case, let me help you close the curtains, Miss Empire."

Seeing that the naive Empire was getting a little sleepy, Yaxu then considerately drew all the curtains.

Seeing this, Brest, who came specially to help take care of the Empire, also smiled slightly at this time, and said to Yaxu jokingly: "Ordinary hotel owners would not take care of you to this extent, Mr. Yaxu."

"Well! That's true, but for some reason, Miss Empire makes me feel a little uneasy."

After realizing that his behavior of taking care of the child seemed to have crossed the line, Yaxu, who was in an awkward mood, could only smile bitterly and waved to Brest.

Although both Empire and Indomitable seem to lack motivation and want to slack off, unlike Indomitable who is obviously hiding his incompetence, Empire gives him the feeling of a soft and cute koala who is ignorant of the world and gives people the aura of a pet.

"Really? But Miss Empire's personality is a bit troublesome, isn't it?"

Looking sideways at the Empire who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Brest, a member of the Holy Clergy Ship, could not help but sigh helplessly, "They even want to ask you, Mr. Yaxu, for help in taking off sailor socks and changing underwear. This is really a bit..."

"Ahem, so it's really thanks to you, Miss Brest, but I don't think she was deliberately trying to be lazy."

Looking at the Empire who spent all day sleeping, eating, taking a bath and playing with his phone, Yaxu stood up with a smile on his lips and added: "Perhaps, it is because Miss Roma and the others are too outstanding that Miss Empire can't find any help."

"And in order to maintain the prestige of the empire and not wanting to make any mistakes, Miss Empire could only sit quietly by the side and watch Miss Rome and the others busy themselves."

As Yaxu spoke these gentle and soft words, the lovely sleeping Empire's beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly. At this moment, Brest, who was filled with hazy holy light, suddenly knelt down in front of Yaxu with a serious look.

"Mr. Yaxu, can I discuss something with you?"

"Hmm? Is there anything urgent?"

Thinking of this, Yaxu couldn't help but sit in front of Brest with some curiosity.

"Mr. Yaxu, may I ask how long do you plan to run the hotel here?"

"Eh? This question is really sudden..."

Seeing that Yaxu had a puzzled expression because of his question, Brest pursed his lips and nervously folded up his angel wings. Then he added to Yaxu seriously, "If, I mean if, Mr. Yaxu, you want to get rid of your job at the hotel, you can come to our church."

"Ugh?"

"Because the hero needs a place to go after all, right? I want to give you shelter and comfort in the way of a bard (blush)."

Brest's gentle and delicate voice was full of the reservedness of an iris angel. With blushing cheeks, he raised his fair and soft face and said to Yaxu gently, "The bard in the story traveled all over the world, reciting heroic poems to the people. The heroic poem I wrote for your story will also be spread all over the world one day."

"Therefore, I don't want your story to just be about being lonely in a hotel, Mr. Yaxu, so..."

"So you want him to follow you Iris Ship Girls to that lonely island church and then take care of you forever!?"

Suddenly, a sharp questioning voice was inserted into the gentle words. Roma, who was wearing an elegant long robe, straightened her plump figure, lowered her golden and blue heterochromatic eyes, and stood behind Brest with great momentum.

"Miss… Roma?"

Facing the resentment that was about to overflow from Roma behind him, Brest was slightly stunned, and soon he vaguely realized something. He turned and slowly raised the corners of his rosy lips, and responded slowly: "Don't bother you, Miss Roma, to worry about this. After all, we are different from you Sardinian ship girls. We don't rely on others to take care of us."

"Xia Fei is a very independent person, and Bu Qu is also very sensible. Mr. Ya Xu can rest assured and rest with us."

"If he wants to rest, our Sardinian Chamber of Commerce has a special sanatorium and health center, so you don't have to worry about it."

Looking at Brest and Roma who suddenly started to confront each other for some unknown reason, Yaxu, who also lacked some experience at this time, couldn't help showing a confused expression.
