The Leisurely Daily Life of Warship Girls

"You can go now..."

Looking back on his experiences, those painful voices still seemed to echo in his ears. Hood found hope time and time again, only to experience despair once more.

She was driven away from the naval base time and time again, and Hood begged her to stay, but her pleas were to no avail, to the point that she eventually became afraid to join the naval base.

"The last piece of steel..."

While wandering, her stomach suddenly growled. Hood rummaged through her ship's equipment space and found the last piece of steel. Eating this piece of steel might sustain her for a few more hours. If she could find a resource point within those few hours, then she might still have a chance to survive.

However, as Hood gazed at the boundless sea, her eyes were filled with confusion. Having never had any expeditionary experience, she had absolutely no idea how to find resources...

During their wandering days, their resources dwindled. When they finally found a resource point to resupply, they didn't expect that a group of deep-sea creatures were hiding there, and they were inevitably hunted down everywhere.

Hunger, exhaustion, pain... a whole host of negative things entangled Hood until he was finally overwhelmed by despair.

Hood constantly reminded herself never to be deceived by humans again, never to trust anyone again, and never to join any naval base. But no matter how much she reminded herself, as a ship girl, she really longed for a safe harbor... "Admiral, may I keep them?"

Tears welled in Hu De's eyes; she was truly, truly suffering.

Hood loves these two cats. It's tiring for her to be a stray, and if she can bring the two cats along, she can find something to share her pain.

"Of course you can."

Han Yun also came to Hu De's side and began to ponder whether these two cats could be the key to opening Hu De's heart.

"Sister Hu De, why don't you stay and take care of the cats? What if they don't survive if you take them away?"

Xiao expressed concern about Hu De's ability to find food.

After all, if Hood knew how to find food, how could she have let herself starve like this?

So how can someone who can't even take care of themselves possibly take care of a pet?

"This……"

Hu De hesitated for a moment.

Xiao is absolutely right. If she took the two cats away, they definitely wouldn't survive, because she doesn't even have the confidence to support herself.

"Meow!"

"Meow~" The two cats also meowed, as if hoping she would stay.

Sure enough, Hood couldn't resist the temptation of the cute little guy, and his hardened heart suddenly softened.

Hu De sighed deeply, then stood up and said to Han Yun, "If the Admiral doesn't mind, please give me a place to stay, even if it's a bit secluded..."

Hu De was still worried that if someone like her, who was dragging the team down, continued to occupy resources, she would definitely be driven away again.

So Hood hoped that she would just get some of the leftovers...

"I won't look down on you, but I don't have any secluded places to stay here."

Han Yun shrugged and said.

After all, Hood is a gold-quality ship girl, so it's impossible to look down on her based on that alone. Besides, how could Han Yun, who can only produce elementary school students, possibly look down on battlecruisers?

"In any case, thank you, Admiral."

Hu De still thanked Han Yun.

Although Hood stayed, the distance between her and the naval base did not shrink. The only reason she stayed was because of the two cats.

However, Han Yun understood that these things couldn't be rushed. To break the ice in Hu De's heart, they had to spend a long time together. It was impossible to get her out of the darkness in her heart with just a few words.

Fortunately, Hood was willing to stay, which gave them the opportunity to spend more time together.

Although Han Yun did not invite Hu De to stay at first, how could he, who was so enthusiastic about ship girls, not care about Hu De's suffering?

"Sister Hu De, let's help each other come up with a name for the cat."

Lei said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll go first!"

Xiao's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that she could name them: "This one will be called Xiao No. 1, and this one will be called Xiao No. 2!"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao, please don't name anything again in the future.

"Sister Hu De, come and get it."

Dianjiang thinks that since this is Sister Hude's cat, Sister Hude should be the one to take it.

Hu De immediately started thinking. Actually, she wasn't very good at naming things.

After hesitating for a moment, Hu De finally spoke: "'Meow!' This one is called Ginger, and 'Meow~' This one is called Fish Cake."

"Huh? Sister Hu De, you're not still hungry, are you?" Xiao wondered if Sister Hu De was trying to imply that she hadn't eaten enough by giving her such a delicious-sounding name.

The fact that Hood stayed behind made the elementary school students overjoyed, especially since there were two more kittens, which gave them more playmates.

Logically speaking, Fubuki would definitely be the first to run to feed the cats... cough cough, but Fubuki doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. She took advantage of everyone else going to feed the cats to come to the office.

Fubuki looked like she had something on her mind, so Hanyun immediately put down the proposal and asked with concern, "Fubuki, is something wrong?"

When Fubuki was asked this by the admiral, she shrank back like a child caught doing something wrong, and stammered, "Um, Sister Hood said that useless ships will be thrown away, is that true?"

Fubuki had been living in constant fear because of this, always worried that one day the Admiral would also abandon her...

After witnessing Hood's miserable state of wandering alone, Fubuki finally began to feel afraid. If she were abandoned by the Admiral, she knew she wouldn't be able to survive on her own.

Han Yun did not immediately respond to Fubuki's concerns.

Fubuki is now starting to consider whether she is still useful, and perhaps this can be used as an opportunity to make her take things seriously, so Han Yun decides to be ruthless this time.

"A useless ship may not necessarily be thrown away, but a useless ship that is unwilling to work hard is of no value to keep."

Han Yun gave a cold reply.

Regardless of whether Fubuki is useful or not, as his initial ship, he will definitely keep her for life. But wouldn't it be better if he could get Fubuki to take things seriously?

The admiral's answer immediately turned Fubuki pale. So the admiral was planning to abandon her after all?

"Is the Admiral also planning to abandon me?"

Fubuki asked sadly.

"That depends on whether you're useful or not."

Han Yun gave a calm reply.

Upon receiving the admiral's reply, Fubuki panicked completely. The admiral would actually abandon her. She was the initial ship, and Fubuki had always thought that her admiral was different from others and that he wouldn't hurt the ship girls. Now it seemed that the admiral was also judging people with prejudice, which greatly disappointed Fubuki.

"Fubuki isn't a useless ship! I'll prove it! You idiot, you idiot, Admiral!"

Suddenly, a tear welled up in Fubuki's eye. She ran out of the office crying. Fubuki would prove herself. It was just about getting Shimakaze back, right? She would go and get him.

Seeing Fubuki run out the door in tears, Han Yun felt bad too, but everything he did was for Fubuki's good.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Hu De leaned against the wall, overhearing Han Yun and Chui Xue's conversation.

Hu De didn't come to eavesdrop on purpose. She originally thought that since she had stayed in this garrison, she should at least formally greet Han Yun. She never expected to encounter such a thing as soon as she arrived at the office.

After hesitating for a moment by leaning against the wall, Hu De finally left silently.

It's best not to have thoughts like, "Will this admiral be different from others?"

As expected, the naval base was not suitable for her. Thinking about building good relationships with the people there was a mistake. Since she was useless anyway, she might be kicked out one day anyway, so it was better not to leave too many memories here.

To avoid having unrealistic expectations later, only to end up heartbroken, wouldn't that be like being a fool?

[PS: I thought that after updating twice, the editor would give me a good recommendation, but now it seems... I look like an idiot, don't I?]

Chapter 24 Fubuki's Adventure

At night, after the elementary school students had finished teasing the ginger and fish cakes, they all consciously returned to their respective dormitories.

"Strange, where's Fubuki?"

It wasn't until she returned to the dormitory that Miyuki realized her older sister, Fubuki, was nowhere to be found.

"I'm afraid she's with the Admiral again. Fubuki is usually very attached to the Admiral."

The first snowfall is something you can easily guess.

"Never mind, I'll go and call her back. She's probably disturbing the admiral's work again."

Bai Xue ran out of the dormitory in despair.

When Bai Xue arrived at the office, she found that the admiral was still studying the shipment volume of rare ships on various maps.

Shirayuki's gaze swept around the office, but she couldn't find Fubuki.

"Admiral, have you seen Fubuki?"

Bai Xue asked directly.

Han Yun quickly looked over at Bai Xue and found that the girl was frowning. Judging from her question, she was probably looking for Chuixue.

"Isn't Fubuki usually in the dorm at this time? And it's not her turn to patrol today."

Han Yun became puzzled instead.

"I came from the dormitory; I thought she was here with you."

Bai Xue shook her head.

Since she's neither in the dormitory nor in the office, where could Fubuki be?

Logically speaking, Fubuki should love rolling around in bed more than anyone else, so there's no reason for her to be lingering outside this late.

"Could it be in someone else's dorm?"

Han Yun asked again.

"No, I just happened to see it on my way here."

Bai Xueyi shook her head on the 1st.

Their naval base didn't have many ships in total, so everyone's dormitories were very close together, and Shirayuki looked at them all along the way.
