The Leisurely Daily Life of Warship Girls

"But……"

Bai Xue was still very worried. Was it really necessary for the admiral to go to the front lines?

"Don't worry, the admiral will handle it himself. Everyone, follow me."

Han Yun knew this was not the time for idle chatter; if Shen Hai were to invade the island, they would have no chance of winning.

The group quickly left the canteen. Judging from the direction from which the sound of the carrier-based aircraft had come, Abyss should be heading from the direction of the home port.

Generally speaking, the planes that launch the opening bombing raid will make contact with the enemy forces before the fleet. The sound of carrier-based aircraft has only been going on for a short while, and the Abyssal Fleet should not have approached the naval base yet.

Kitazaki followed closely behind the admiral. She hated the Abyss more than anyone else for sinking her sister's ship. This time, she had a companion and would never flee in such a sorry state as before.

Bei Zhai has vowed never to run away again, because running away won't change anything; she needs to change herself...

Soon, Han Yun led the fleet to the slope in front of the home port, but because the island was so large, Han Yun was not sure if Shen Hai would land from this direction.

However, this concern was quickly dispelled from Han Yun's mind, because on the sea surface, a fleet composed of a large number of deep-sea creatures was sailing in from afar.

Why is it called a fleet group?

At first glance, the sheer number of these deep-sea vessels is quite alarming; they are likely a combined deep-sea fleet composed of dozens of deep-sea fleets.

At the same time, a concern lingered in Han Yun's mind: why did all the carrier-based aircraft of this deep-sea joint fleet disappear just two seconds after bombing the naval base?

Was it taken back by the deep sea creatures, or hidden away?

Logically, shouldn't we try to annihilate the enemy with the first round of bombing?

Han Yun's doubts remained unanswered, and the Deep Sea Joint Fleet continued to approach. When they were close enough, everyone's attention was drawn to a particular Deep Sea Fleet.

This deep-sea vessel was clearly a size larger than the surrounding ones, and even from a distance, they could feel the oppressive force emanating from it. The massive, jet-black vessel was adorned with glowing green patterns, and its short white hair reflected a carefree, laughing face. Although they were still some distance apart, Han Yun knew very well that this deep-sea vessel was mocking him, clearly not taking them seriously at all.

"It's the dean..."

Although Han Yun had never seen such a deep-sea creature before, the oppressive aura emanating from it, along with its massive hull equipped with large triple-mounted cannons, was enough to tell that it was a deep-sea deity.

Han Yun had heard a lot about the Dean of the Deep Sea Institute from his father, but this was the first time he had seen one who looked like this.

"Let's retreat and abandon the naval base."

Han Yun issued an order that shocked the ship girls.

The admiral is actually going to abandon this place full of memories?

"Admiral..."

Fubuki became anxious; she loved this place and didn't want to leave.

"As you can see, their lineup is beyond our capabilities."

Han Yun shook his head sadly.

"I agree with the Admiral's decision."

Bai Xue continues to support the Admiral.

Even a blind man could see that even if they engaged in combat with these deep-sea creatures, their ultimate fate was predictable: the naval base would eventually be captured.

"Is there no other way?"

Ayanami also found it difficult to accept the admiral's orders. Although she was not very old, this naval base was a good place.

"In the face of absolute power, any method is utterly ineffective."

Han Yun shook his head again, then finally made up his mind and said sternly: "Withdraw immediately and obey orders!" Han Yun didn't care whether the ship girls were willing or not. The alliance pulled Fubuki and Ayanami together and prepared to leave. After all, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood.

But Han Yun had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, because he found that Bei Zhai was still standing there dumbfounded, her face full of shock and disbelief.

[PS: On a hot summer day, Yamato Akagi, wearing the swimsuit she had saved up for months to buy, went to the beach with her friends, hoping to spend a peaceful time without conflict or fighting.]

Chapter 39 Deep Sea Bismarck

Upon noticing Bei Zhai's absent-mindedness, Han Yun frowned. With the Deep Sea Dean leading the combined fleet in an attack, the Sea Color Garrison was certainly no match for them. Every second of absent-mindedness could cost them their lives.

"Beizhai, what's wrong?"

Han Yun quickly let go of Chui Xue and Ling Bo, then turned back and took Bei Zhai's hand. Only when she took Bei Zhai's hand did Han Yun realize that Bei Zhai's body was trembling slightly. Could it be that the shadow that Shen Hai had given Bei Zhai was still there, so she was too scared to think at the moment?

Han Yun couldn't understand Bei Zhai's current state either, and was about to forcibly carry her away, but at this moment, a tear suddenly fell from Bei Zhai's eye.

She said in disbelief, "That's... my sister..."

"Sister? What do you mean?"

Han Yun looked at Bei Zhai with suspicion, and followed Bei Zhai's gaze to the outside world, only to find that Bei Zhai was staring at the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy.

Is Beizhai calling Shenhai Dean "Sister"?

"You don't recognize the ancients, do you? That's the deep sea."

Han Yun frowned.

"She won't recognize me. The pendant around her neck is a gift from me."

Bei Zhai stared intently at Dean Shen Hai; she even noticed the pendant around Dean Shen Hai's neck.

Anyway, it's impossible for a human to see Han Yun, but since Bei Zhai is so sure, it means that the Deep Sea Dean must be connected with Bismarck.

Beizhai previously said that Bismarck had been sunk, and Hanyun had heard her father say that ship girls have a chance of becoming deep-sea creatures after they sink. If the sunken ship girl is a famous ship, she might even become the Dean.

As the embodiment of German engineering, the Bismarck was naturally a famous warship, so this Dean is very likely formed from the Bismarck after it was abducted to the deep sea.

Even knowing this, Bismarck is now an Abyssal. Ship girls usually lose their memories after becoming Abyssal, and even if they don't lose their memories, their personalities will basically change drastically.

In other words, this Bismarck is no longer the sister that North Carolina knew.

“Beizhai, listen to me, your sister might not even recognize you now. Let’s leave here first and then think of a solution.”

Han Yun tried to persuade her to leave.

Han Yun knew that Bismarck might be very important to Bei Zhai, so she was afraid that Bei Zhai might lose her temper and rush at him.

"I understand."

Bei Zhai quickly wiped away her tears, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

Regardless, she knew her sister was still alive. Even if her appearance had changed, as long as her sister was alive, that was enough.

"move."

Han Yun hurriedly pulled Bei Zhai to retreat, but this time it was Bai Xue's turn to stop. Her face was pale as she looked into the distance and said, "Admiral, I'm afraid we can't leave..."

"Holy crap..."

Seeing this, Han Yun couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Looking in the direction Bai Xue was looking, they discovered that deep-sea fleets were also approaching from other directions of the island, completely blocking their escape routes.

It seems that from the very beginning, Dean Shenhai never intended for them to escape.

"It's over..."

Upon seeing this scene, Xiaoxiang, Leidian, and the other three girls collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Even fully-trained ship girls can't defeat so many deep-sea monsters, let alone these newbies who are only level 10 or 20.

"Admiral, what do we do now?"

Fubuki held the admiral's hand tightly.

No matter how you look at it, they had no hope of escaping, but staying meant only waiting to die.

Fubuki doesn't want to die; she wants to live with the Admiral for the rest of her life.

"Even if you ask me what to do..."

Han Yun said that he was not a god, and faced with such a huge gap in strength, he had no way to turn the tide.

However, if he, as the commander, loses his composure, it will only make the ship girls more desperate.

Han Yun quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down and frantically searched for a way to escape.

Unbeknownst to him, cold sweat broke out on Han Yun's forehead. This was due to excessive tension, as he simply couldn't think of any good solutions.

Although there were some bad ideas, he dared not try anything that wasn't absolutely certain when the ship's fate was at stake, since taking one wrong step could mean total annihilation.

Just as Han Yun was unable to make up her mind, Bei Zhai suddenly clenched her fist; she had already made a plan for the admiral.

"Admiral, let me go. I'll try to talk to my sister. I think she should remember me at least a little bit."

A resolute look appeared in Bei Zhai's eyes.

Since death is inevitable either way, shouldn't we try any possible solution?

The admiral needs to consider the safety of all ships, but if she acts recklessly, it won't affect the other ships.

"No, that's too dangerous."

Han Yun frowned sharply; Bei Zhai's idea was truly ill-considered.

She was betting that her sister would still remember her, but the probability of a ship girl retaining her memories after being transformed into a deep-sea ship is extremely low.

"Admiral, sometimes you should think about your ship girls too. I said I would change, and now I'll show you my determination."

Beizhai gripped the admiral's hand tightly; she wanted to give it a try.

Bei Zhai is serious... - Han Yun understood as soon as he saw her eyes.

Perhaps Kitazaki knew the naval base was doomed, but at least before she died, she wanted to talk to her sister… “Sigh! Go.”

Han Yun opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to stop Bei Zhai.

"Admiral, thank you."

Beizhai sincerely thanked him. Although they hadn't known each other for long, Beizhai had already deeply felt that he was an admiral who was willing to think of her.

It would be such a pity for these ship girls if such a good admiral died... - North Carolina took one last deep look at the admiral, then made up her mind to run down the slope and onto the home port.

"Admiral, is it really okay not to stop her?"

Bai Xue was also a little worried. Although everyone's situation was not optimistic, it was not right to send Bei Zhai to his death alone.

"This is her decision. In any case, while we have the time that Beizhai has bought for us, let's think about how to get out of here."
