The Leisurely Daily Life of Warship Girls

Bai Xue couldn't help but sigh. What kind of older sister was she? She always made her younger sister worry about her. When would she ever be able to put her sister at ease?

Han Yun rested his chin on his hand thoughtfully, recalling the time when Fubuki had come to see him before. Could it be that Fubuki was upset about that incident and was hiding somewhere sulking, hoping that the Admiral could find her?

Han Yun couldn't help but think it was very likely. Judging from Chuixue's personality, she was most likely to do such a thing if she was acting out of spite.

"Bai Xue, get in touch with Fubuki and have her come to the office. I have something to say to her."

Han Yun felt somewhat helpless. He had originally thought his words would make Fubuki take things seriously, but now it seemed that forcing Fubuki was a mistake. Fubuki was probably heartbroken right now after learning that the admiral would drive away the useless ships. He had to call her back and explain things clearly.

Since the ship girl's equipment comes with a built-in radio communication device, Shirayuki directly used the communication device to send a call request to Fubuki.

After sending several call requests, Fubuki finally answered her call.

"Fubuki, where are you now? The Admiral is very worried about you, you know that?"

Bai Xue immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! I'm going to 2-5 to find Shimakaze. I'm going to prove to the Admiral that I'm not a useless ship!"

Fubuki's defiant voice came from the other end of the telecommunications line.

"What? You went to 2-5 all by yourself?" Upon hearing this, Bai Xue was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Fubuki, what level are you? You actually went to 2-5 all by yourself? Han Yun also suddenly stood up from his seat. He originally thought Fubuki was hiding somewhere sulking, but he didn't expect her to go to 2-5 in a fit of pique. Is that a place where one person can go?

Although Han Yun's father had driven away all the enemy ships in 2-5 when he was the admiral here, 2-5 is still a very remote place, and no one knows if there are any hidden deep-sea ships there. Besides, it is night now, so how could he feel at ease letting Fubuki go on an expedition alone?

"Bai Xue, tell her to come back quickly."

Han Yun gave the order in a hurry.

Han Yun glanced at the sky outside the window and found that the starry sky outside was completely covered by dark clouds. There would probably be a rainstorm soon. The weather at sea is always unpredictable.

Even without the admiral's order, Shirayuki knew how dangerous Fubuki's actions were, so she immediately gave the order: "Fubuki, come back here now, immediately, right now! This is the admiral's order, understand?"

"I don't want to! I'll come back as soon as I get Shimakaze!" Fubuki said stubbornly, then hung up the phone. "Fubuki? Fubuki!"

Shirayuki called out several more times but received no response from Fubuki. Frustrated and angry, she could only mutter, "That stubborn fool."

Clearly, Fubuki has disobeyed the Admiral's orders once again. Why do I say "once again"?

For example, during the previous expedition with Fubuki, the admiral's order was for her to focus on retrieving Shimakaze, but Fubuki deviated from the course by chasing the blue whale and even ate the food meant to lure Shimakaze without permission.

This time, Fubuki disobeyed the admiral again.

"Admiral, what do we do now? Should we go and bring Fubuki back?"

Bai Xue asked with concern.

Han Yun glanced at the sky outside, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. Judging from the current situation, it would probably be thunder and lightning soon, which would be very dangerous for the ship girls to go on an expedition.

It's important to know that the ship equipment of a ship girl carries the basic equipment of a real warship, including electrical equipment, otherwise how would ship girls communicate with each other?

Sailing on an open sea with electrical equipment during a thunderstorm is no less dangerous than standing on open ground holding a lightning rod.

“It’s too dangerous to go out to sea now. Try to contact Dao Fubuki again. Even if you don’t persuade her to come back, at least let her find a way to shelter from the rain.”

Han Yun finally made a decision.

It's too late to chase after Fubuki now, since they don't even know where Fubuki is.

Now I just hope that Fubuki won't hide under a big tree to avoid the rain or anything like that. As a ship girl, shouldn't Fubuki have some common sense?

There probably is...

should……

Well, the target is Fubuki, so it's really hard to say. "Admiral, Fubuki isn't answering her communications."

Bai Xue became anxious; she was about to be driven crazy by this younger sister—no, I mean, this older sister.

"Sigh! There's no use in worrying now. We can only wait for the rain to stop."

Han Yun shook his head helplessly.

A strong wind had started blowing outside, and we could even hear the waves crashing against the shore, indicating that the sea conditions were very bad.

"That's all we can do."

Bai Xue knew very well that the admiral's judgment was correct, so even though she was anxious, she could only calm down for the time being.

The strong wind outside bent the trees, and the rain poured down, each raindrop larger than a bean. Along with the raindrops came streaks of roaring silver lightning. This situation continued for two hours as Han Yun and his companion waited in silence.

Fortunately, in such terrible weather, at least we can be sure that the snow will not encounter the deep sea, since the deep sea wouldn't choose to wander around in this kind of weather.

The rumbling thunder began to weaken and gradually disappeared. The wind subsided and the rain lessened. At this moment, Han Yun, who could no longer wait, hurriedly gave the order: "Bai Xue, take Xiao Xiang and Lei Dian with you and set off. The four of them are quite familiar with the situation in the nearby sea area. Fubuki should be at 2-5'0 o'clock now. We must bring her back."

"I understand."

Bai Xue nodded quickly. Although it was still drizzling, she couldn't wait any longer either.

Soon, Shirayuki woke up Akatsuki and Raiden, who had just fallen asleep. After briefly explaining the situation, Akatsuki and Raiden reluctantly went out to sea with Shirayuki, still very sleepy...

However, since Fubuki is in danger, they can't just leave her there. Their only hope now is that Fubuki will be safe and sound.

Chapter 25 Snowstorm and Shipwreck

After the heavy rain, Bai Xue and Xiao Xiang Lei Dian went out to sea in the cool sea breeze. Fortunately, the elementary school students were all familiar with night battles, so going out to sea at night was actually quite easy for them.

With Shirayuki following in the group, even Hibiki, who was afraid of the dark, gained courage.

"Bai, Bai Xue, you should be the flagship."

On the sea, Xiao suddenly took a step back, allowing Bai Xue, who was taking care of Xiang, to rush to the front.

"Me, the flagship?"

Bai Xue was completely dumbfounded.

Speaking of which, those behind are all your younger sisters, Xiao. Is it really okay for you to leave your sisters to be raised by others?

"It's alright, Bai Xue is perfect as the flagship."

Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after retreating behind Bai Xue.

Bai Xue was really annoyed by this. Isn't everyone vying to be the flagship? Why did Xiao give up the flagship position? Did she think Xiao was difficult to get along with and was therefore afraid of her?

Bai Xue thought she was quite mild-mannered; even if Xiao didn't hand over the flagship, she wouldn't do anything.

"puff!"

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

However, when Lei and Dianjiang saw this, they immediately started to chuckle.

As Xiao's younger sisters, they knew very well that Xiao wasn't afraid to compete with Bai Xue for the flagship; she was simply scared.

You see, Xiao is not only afraid of water, but also has absolutely no sense of direction. She gets lost all day long when she goes out to sea, and now it's nighttime, and it's a critical moment to rescue people. Xiao dares not be the flagship's guide again...

Hearing her sister's mocking laughter, Xiao immediately blushed and glared at her: "Nonsense, you guys aren't Pupu at all!"

The result, however, elicited a chorus of tongue-outs from the younger sisters: "Tian ge tian ge tian ge!"

Although Bai Xue felt somewhat helpless, now was not the time to dwell on these things. She had to find Fubuki as soon as possible and teach her a lesson this time, so that she wouldn't cause any more trouble for the Admiral.

"Xiang, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiao and her younger sister Xiang leaned against each other.

Xiang glanced at Xiao indifferently and said casually, "You're the one who's afraid."

"Huh?"

Xiao was immediately startled, not expecting that Xiang had seen through her.

Xiao thought that Xiang must be afraid of the dark, so the two of them could make a perfect pair, but little did she know that with Bai Xue there, Xiang was not afraid at all.

"puff!"

This scene caused Lei and Dianjiang to chuckle again.

"Don't laugh! Don't laugh! Don't laugh!"

On the sea, Xiao's shameful roar echoed, carrying far and wide.

Such farces are a daily occurrence for Xiaoxiang Leidian's expeditions. Fortunately, this time Baixue was leading the team, and the group rushed towards 2-5 without stopping.

After sailing for about an hour, they finally arrived at area 2-5. Although they didn't know exactly where Fubuki was, she was probably near point O.

After all, that's the location where the most shimakaze (sunstorm) has been witnessed.

As they sailed toward point O, the group soon heard the sound of artillery fire.

Artillery fire?

Why would you hear cannon fire over the ocean so late at night?

The reason is obvious even to someone as simple as a mouse; it's probably because the ship girls and the deep sea are fighting each other.

Judging from the current situation, the ship girl currently engaged in combat is probably Fubuki.

The elementary school students suddenly felt a sense of urgency and quickly turned on their searchlights, rushing towards the location from which the shelling was coming.

"I didn't expect there to actually be a deep sea here."

Xiao said somewhat fearfully that she had never fought a night battle since she was created.

"If they dare to come to 2-5, then the enemy's strength is probably not to be underestimated. We'll rescue the people and run. With the speed of our destroyers, it will be easy to shake off the enemy."

Bai Xue quickly came up with a battle plan.

Because they haven't experienced much combat, their skill level is very low. Generally speaking, they would be no match for enemies of level 2-5. So after rescuing the people, they can just run away.

Just as Shirayuki guessed, the person engaging in combat with the Abyssal Fleet was indeed Fubuki. During the torrential rain, Fubuki had casually found an island to hide on. However, after the rain stopped, she encountered the Abyssal Fleet shortly after leaving the island. Subsequently, she was chased by six Abyssal Fleet members for most of the day. Although the destroyer was very fast, unfortunately, her equipment was too poor, and she didn't have anything like a Golden Motor, so her speed couldn't be increased much. During the escape, she gradually became more and more exhausted, and finally, she was accidentally hit by a shell.

Keep in mind that this is a night battle. In a night battle, even the slightest bump can result in a major injury.

Fubuki's body glowed faintly, indicating that her "Damaged Protection" was activated. In this state, Fubuki would not be sunk even if she continued to endure enemy bombardment. However, Damaged Protection has a limited duration, and once it expires, she will be out of options.

"Waaaaah, Admiral! Admiral, save me!"

"Fubuki will never do it again, she will never disobey again, Admiral, please come and save me!"

Fubuki burst into tears in distress.
