The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

"Wowowo!!" Even though she couldn't understand what the other person was saying, wo-chan was still very happy to find that her guess was correct.

Thus, the dialogue between the two ship girls from different factions and with different ship types became:

“wowowowowowowowo”

"Eugen-o and Eugen-ogen-o"

“wo!wo!wo!”

"Oh! Gen! Oh!"

"Wo-chan, stop playing around. The other person isn't using language, it's just an interjection." Seeing the heavy cruiser girl named Prinz Eugen teasing Wo-chan like she was playing with a pet, Admiral Ardon, who was Wo-chan's admiral, stepped forward and said.

"Wo?" After understanding what Yaton meant, Wo-chan said somewhat disappointedly.

"Hoo hoo hoo, I'm actually having such a lively conversation with a deep-sea aircraft carrier." As if remembering something, Prince Eugen patted his chest and blurted out a normal sentence.

“Wo!!” (You lied to me!) Wo-chan waved the tentacles on her ship's rigging, and somehow produced the cane in her hand, angrily shouting.

Seeing the potential for an unnecessary "drill," Tidu and Charlotte quickly separated the two ship girls to ensure that no unexpected situations would occur.

"As the admiral, Adun, you need to keep a close eye on your ship girls!" Tidu said earnestly.

"Eugen, you must be joking. That's a deep-sea aircraft carrier of the rank of colonel, not to mention her admiral is even more terrifying," Charlotte said, still shaken, as she clung to Princess Eugen and retreated several steps.

Charlotte risked her honor as a trainee admiral in that instant, so it's safe to say that she was definitely prepared to take action. As expected, deep-sea ship girls are all unpredictable.

But thinking about it this way, the conversation between the deep-sea ship girls just now seems rather abnormal.

"Deep Sea Colonel?" After a moment of surprise, Prince Eugen immediately broke free from Charlotte's embrace and hugged Charlotte back. With a few cracks, three thick steel plates of ship equipment emerged from his body, forming a temporary barrier.

"Don't misunderstand, although she's a senior captain in the deep sea, I'm a ship girl of Adun, not an enemy, not an enemy," Charlotte, who was being held down by Prinz Eugen inside the ship armor barrier, quickly said.

"Huh, is this the Deep Sea Colonel? This is the first time I've seen him so close." Richelieu, who had somehow ended up in front of the Prinz Eugen ramparts and was raising his rapier, was stunned by his young master's words and didn't know whether to summon the ship or not.

As a near-hero-class battleship girl with combat power similar to that of the Prince of Wales, Richelieu is not afraid of facing an Abyssal Commander, especially since the opponent is an Abyssal aircraft carrier and is so close to her.

"Senior Colonel? Really a Senior Colonel? Wow, Vanguard has always wanted to get a medal for sinking a deep-sea Senior Colonel." Vanguard, who didn't understand the situation, had already rummaged through her four frying pan-like ship rigging.

Although it was immediately crushed back by the head maid's reputation in an absolutely violent way.

It's not really that violent. For a ship girl, especially one with the strength of a vanguard, turning into a shooting star and falling into the sea shouldn't be a big problem.

“Reputation…reputation, in your hands.” Tidu pointed to the item in Reputation’s hand with a somewhat horrified look.

"Oh, sorry, I used a bit too much force." Noticing that he was still holding one of the four cauldron-shaped turrets of the Vanguard, Renown sighed slightly in his heart. Sure enough, it would take some time to get used to the new body and the new power.

"This isn't just a matter of using the wrong force." This is brute force used to dismantle the ship girl's ship equipment. Even without ship equipment space, and regardless of whether it's considered a ship girl's body in a conventional sense, everyone knows that after fusing with the ship equipment, the ship equipment is equivalent to a part of the ship girl's body.

This act of directly removing them is tantamount to amputating a ship girl's limbs.

"It's alright, her ship equipment is special, it's detachable." The "she" that Renown was referring to was naturally the Vanguard, the 233rd Naval Base battleship girl who had just been thrown out.

"..." Looking at the pot-shaped cannon held in the head maid's hand, Tidu wiped away non-existent cold sweat and said, "That's good, that's good..."

No wonder the ship equipment of that avant-garde ship looked somewhat loose compared to the integrated appearance of ship girls in my memory.

However, it is clear that even if Renown said that the Vanguard's ship equipment is detachable, the results of active and passive disassembly are completely different.

After returning from being thrown out and looking angry, the vanguard retrieved his turret from Renown and immediately went into the repair ditch.

--------------

Chapter 133 Let's give it a try

Tidu felt a lot of pressure because he realized that his road as admiral was long and arduous.

Therefore, he had no appetite even for the tiger shark meat placed in front of him, and Kokang took advantage of the situation and started mixing tiger shark meat with potatoes.

"What's wrong, boss? Are you unhappy?" Charlotte, sitting next to Kokang, asked, feeling quite pressured.

Lifting her somewhat heavy head, she glanced at her little brother, then at the ship girls of Naval Base No. 233, who seemed quite pleased that this seemingly shabby and strangely tasteful base was being treated to tiger shark meat.

Tidu sighed and said, "Right now, I'm just a little envious and jealous."

"What are you so envious of, boss? I'll order them to snatch it for you right now!" Charlotte felt her moment to show her loyalty had arrived.

"I envy you, you rich kid!!" Seeing that Charlotte didn't understand at all, Tidu grabbed a potato from the Kokang lunchbox and threw it at her.

Seeing their young master being attacked, the ship girls from the later-arrived naval base No. 233 were about to make some small moves when they saw Reputation, who was helping Charlotte clean up the potato scraps on her head, glance at her intentionally or unintentionally.

They all lowered their heads and began to eat the tiger shark meat in front of them, which would cost even hero-level ship girls three liters of money for a single meal.

"Sigh, the young master is henpecked. He's doomed from now on," the ship girls of Naval Base No. 233, who didn't know much about the relationship between Charlotte and Tidu, sighed inwardly.

However, it seems that his own admiral, Charlotte's father, is also henpecked.

This was known from the agonizing screams, like those of a slaughtered ape, that frequently emanated from the office and residence of the admiral of Naval Base No. 233.

Although the law does not support the act of giving rings to admirals, it will not oppose it either. However, even if the ship girls present had this idea, they would not want to face Helena's terrifying large house.

Seeing that the young master now reacts the same way as his father when facing his destined nemesis.

Does this mean that a ship girl's ultimate dream—to marry her admiral—has to be invested in the next generation? This is truly a sad situation for the ship.

After all, the older a woman gets, the less competitive she becomes, and eventually she'll become an unwanted, haggard woman.

Thinking of this, the ship girls lowered their heads again and silently began eating the tiger shark meat in front of them.

Noticing the ship girls' actions and guessing what they were thinking to some extent, Tidu became even angrier. She snatched the plate from Kogan and shaped the tiger shark mashed potatoes that had just been mixed together into small balls, wanting to give Charlotte a full-on attack.

"Big Sister! I've followed you for so many years! I've worked hard even if I haven't done anything great! Even if I haven't done anything great, I've still contributed a lot! Even if you're angry with me, you have to let me die knowing why!"

Seeing the boss's actions, Charlotte swallowed the tiger shark meat in front of her in a few bites, and raised the plate as a shield.

"I just feel that fate is unfair because I have an admiral who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth." Seeing Charlotte raise her shield, Tidu didn't choose to throw potatoes, whose attack power hovered between 0 and 1. Instead, she chose to throw knives and forks!

"Are you talking about me, boss?" Charlotte, who had dodged the throwing knives and forks with a few practiced movements, quietly peeked out from behind the useless cutlery shield and asked.

"Who else could it be! Look at these ships, one or two at a time, they're either hero-class or near-hero-class. Especially since you just said that all these ships combined are less than a third of the main force ships in your naval base, how am I, the official admiral with only two unreliable ships under my command, supposed to bear this... Even, even that bastard Adun has three ships (although they're Abyssal)."

As soon as Tidu finished speaking, Adon, who was sitting to Tidu's left and below, sighed helplessly and pushed the tiger shark meat in front of him, which he didn't know how to deal with, to Xiao Bei next to him, saying, "Admiral, what you said really hurts the ship's feelings."

"Big Sister, although you don't have many ship girls, their quality is excellent. Look how powerful Adun is. Besides, my ship girls are all my... I... uh, I didn't say anything."

Charlotte, who was about to reveal that her ship girl belonged to her father rather than herself, felt a chill run down her spine, as if many resentful eyes were trying to cut her apart.

"Well, that's true." Realizing she hadn't been careful with her words, Tidu glanced at the somewhat angry Adon and sighed heavily again, saying, "But have you ever seen a ship girl become an admiral?"

Disobeying orders is already a family disgrace, a dark history. Given that Charlotte's ship girls are also present, Ti decided not to let them laugh at her.

To fall to the point where ship girls disobey orders is the most serious disqualification for an admiral.

"Isn't Admiral Network different from ordinary Admirals? Maybe it's just a special skill that Admiral Network has since Admiral Network is the first generation of ship girls. It's just similar to Admiral Network." Charlotte unintentionally revealed the truth.

Unfortunately, even Charlotte herself didn't believe this deduction, which was purely meant to comfort her older sister.

"Are you trying to say that Adon's ability to sign a contract with a ship girl is just a facade?" Tidu's words exposed Charlotte's attempt to comfort her.

"Actually, there's a better way to prove that the Chief Instructor is the real Admiral, or that his special abilities merely resemble those of an Admiral," the maid, Renown, said.

“Reputation, you mean…” Charlotte immediately realized what her head maid was saying.

"Captain Veneto brought over a construction device. Although it's an older model, it still works." Reputation glanced at Admiral Adon and continued, "If the Admiral's Network is just a special ability, she won't be able to use the construction device to summon ship girls."

"But if the Chief Instructor can use the construction tool to summon ship girls, and the summoned ship girls see the Chief Instructor as their admiral, instead of Lord Tidu, then..."

"So regardless of whether Admiral Network is her special skill or not, she is a qualified admiral." Tidu added what Reputation wanted to say, then looked at her blood test ship girl with a conflicted expression.

☆, Chapter 134: Make way, I'll go first

"So, as long as I can use this machine, it proves that I am an official admiral?" Adun asked, looking at the somewhat dilapidated ship girl construction machine in front of him, in a room already crowded with various ship girls.

"That's right, but wait, no, that's not right." Charlotte, dressed in a very formal admiral's uniform but without her sword or official admiral's insignia, corrected herself:

"It should be said that you can summon ship girls through the construction tool in Adun, and these ship girls should regard you as their admiral, not the older sister as their admiral."

Due to certain mystical issues, admirals often have their ship girls with high luck values ​​use the construction tool for them. However, even if the ship girl is the one controlling the construction tool, the ship girl summoned from the construction tool will still regard those admirals who have given up struggling for their bloodline as their admirals, rather than the ship girl using the construction tool.

"Oh, I see. I understand. But what I wanted to ask was," Ardon nodded in understanding, "why is everyone here?"

Not only their own admiral and Charlotte, but also the ship girls such as Kogan, Wo-chan, Xiao Bei, Prince of Wales, Nelson and Rodney sisters, Veneto, Vanguard, Richelieu, and Prinz Eugen were all crammed into the not-so-spacious construction room.

Even the Nautilus, a deep-sea princess that has always had a low profile, was obscured, hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat. It seems that after being suspended by Adun once, this deep-sea princess has taken a liking to this kind of performance art.

"Isn't watching the admiral build a large-scale project one of the two most important things for a ship girl?" Kogan responded to Adon's question.

Upon hearing that Kogan had spoken out what everyone wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say, the British ship girls all gave Kogan a thumbs up in their own ways.

For example, nodding, giving a thumbs up, serving a drink, or... making some inexplicable gestures. Hey Eugen, what are you doing? Reputation, throw her out!

"And what about the other most important thing? Defeating the Deep Sea?" As the first generation of ship girls who came out of the construction device, and also a space-class alien ship girl, Adun was unaware of the strange traditions of the native ship girls of this world.

"Another important thing is to stop the Admiral's large-scale construction!" Kogan said earnestly while sipping his coffee.

Even the Prince of Wales, who hadn't expressed any opinion just now in order to uphold the dignity of the Royal Navy, nodded in agreement, clearly showing her approval of Guo Gan's words.

"Something seems off." Ardon felt a little confused.

"But even if what Kogan said is true, what are you and Xiaobei doing here? And don't think I can't see you just because you're invisible!" Yadun snapped her fingers, turning her attention to the three deep-sea ship girls. The Nautilus, which had been tied up like a salted fish, fell to the ground with a thud and then smashed through the floor with its gravity.

"...Was I just imagining things?" Veneto, who clearly sensed a strange aura, paused for a moment and said, "Just now...wasn't there...a Deep Sea Princess that suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared?"

“It really is, the Deep Sea Princess,” Richelieu said, peering cautiously into the fish-shaped hole in the floor.

"Saki...Saki-hime? Where is Saki-hime? Ah, let's talk this out." Just as the vanguard was about to summon his ship equipment in the narrow space, he felt the head maid, Renown, gently place her hand on his shoulder.

As a British ship girl, Vanguard is a bit timid when facing the leader of the British ship girls, Reign of Valor, in the 233rd Naval Base.

"Don't worry about the details, don't worry about the details. That's the third ship girl that Adun signed. She just looks a lot like the Deep Sea Princess." Charlotte quickly waved her hand to stop the ship girls from causing a commotion.

"Eugen-Ou," Prince Eugen wanted to say, what do you mean by looking like a Deepsea Princess? It's clearly a Deepsea Princess, isn't it? Unfortunately, with Renown's other hand on her shoulder, all Prince Eugen's words turned into the three inexplicably meaningful words "Eugen-Ou."

"Wowowo." Ignoring whether the nautilus shell turned into a kimono after hitting it, Wo-chan answered her admiral's question in wo language.

"Huh? To broaden my horizons? Aren't there any construction tools in the deep sea?" Adun asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course there are no construction devices in the deep sea. All the deep-sea ship girls gradually awakened from having no self-awareness, unlike you ship girls who are born with self-awareness." Xiao Bei spoke with an air of arrogance, as if the rich were feasting while the poor were freezing to death.

“Eugen!” Princess Eugen responded habitually, though it was unclear whether she was supporting or opposing it, or simply making a sound.

"What do you mean 'oh'? Just because we're both heavy cruisers doesn't mean we can be good friends. Don't even think about it! You're a ship girl, and I'm an Abyssal. Watch out, if we meet somewhere else, I'll turn you into parts!" Xiao Bei said, hands on her hips.

Unfortunately, Xiao Bei didn't seem to realize that although Prince Eugen of Naval Base No. 233 was also a heavy cruiser, he was stronger than her in both combat power and rank.
