The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

"Huh? Did I hear that right? I just heard you guys mention the Leader class..." Omega asked Charlotte, puzzled as to why she was being pulled along by Omega.

“Young Master, this South Dakota has already vaguely touched upon the power of a Leader-class ship, which is why she chose to become a wandering ship girl, wanting to take that step.” Reputation interjected at just the right moment: “That’s what we were just talking about.”

"Isn't that just like my mother?" Charlotte looked at South Dakota and asked with a curious expression after hearing what Reputation said.

"Are you talking about Helena from Naval Base 233? I've heard of her, it's an honor to meet you." South Dakota, adopting a haughty and aloof demeanor, followed Charlotte's words.

"Hey, you'd be happy to come over to my house sometime. If I have the chance, I'll definitely introduce you to my mom," Charlotte said in a friendly manner.

...In an instant, the few ship girls from the No. 233 naval base who had finally figured it out all felt a wave of dizziness, a feeling that it was impossible to guard against a thief within their own ranks.

Young master, if you find out her true identity, we won't be able to protect you!

Aside from the two South Dakotas under the command of the European Emperor and the South Asian Governor, which may or may not be considered true Leader-class ships, there is only one South Dakota that is truly recorded in history as a Leader-class ship!

Moreover, it has already been concluded in history that the battle was lost!

A ship girl deemed sunk in battle was standing right in front of you, and considering Adun's recent transformation of Wo-chan into a ship girl, anyone who isn't intellectually deficient like Rodney would understand who this South Dakota really is...

Admiral, please come quickly and save your son! Save us instantly...

Chapter 158 Tidu's Former Teacher

"Adon, is this rogue ship girl you picked up really a leader-class ship?" Tidu asked, looking at Adon with the eyes of someone looking at God.

"According to Reputation, he should be close to the leader level." Since Reputation had already said so, Adun was too lazy to make up anything more.

"Well, this is quite exaggerated. A leader-class ship girl! This is a leader-class ship girl, a super ship girl that even the governor can't sign off on!"

It was clear that Tidu's values ​​had been shaken, but fortunately this wasn't the first or second time. Tidu quickly pieced together her shattered worldview.

"Are Leader-class beings very rare?" Adon, who had been observing whether Tidu knew the Deep Sea Princess of South Dakota, asked curiously.

"..." Tidu was stunned for a moment after being asked a question by Adon before asking back, "Adon, do you think the governor is rare or not?"

"...How would I know?" Adun said, indicating that he came from the builder and had no idea how many governors there were in the world.

“Oh right, I forgot that you were one of the first ship girls.” Tidu said awkwardly, “Even decades ago, before the war with the Northern Deep Sea Fleet, at the height of the human navy, the total number of governors was exactly ten.”

"The number of ship girls who can be considered leaders has always been about the same as the number of governors, with a difference of at most one or two."

"So rare." There are only ten in the whole world, and now there are probably even fewer, so it is indeed rare. I didn't expect that the Abyssal Princess South Dakota near my own base would be so powerful. Adun glanced at South Dakota, who was suppressing the 233rd base ship girls with her aura, and thought for a moment before saying:

"She is close to being a leader, but not a true leader."

“Yes, only close to the leader level,” Tidu said weakly, slumping on the table.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Adon asked curiously, seeing his admiral's reaction.

“I’m unhappy because the ship girl you picked up is close to the leader class. Don’t you see something’s wrong?” Tidu said, looking at his little brother Charlotte, who was trying to communicate with South Dakota.

"Something's not right?" Adon asked, puzzled, following Tidu's gaze.

"Didn't you see that Charlotte said so much, but didn't mention asking the other party if they wanted to join her ranks?" Tidu continued, addressing Adon, who didn't quite understand this point.

"Because the other party is a ship girl close to the leader level, Charlotte immediately gave up the idea. Leader-level ship girls do not need to and cannot sign a contract with a certain admiral. Even those quasi-leader-level ship girls under the governor only maintain a cooperative relationship with their governor rather than signing a contract."

"Oh, so you're disappointed that you couldn't sign a contract with South Dakota?" Adun said, understanding why his admiral was unhappy.

"Of course! If the rogue ship girl you found were even slightly weaker, I would definitely be eager to sign a contract with her. I believe I am much more attractive to a rogue ship girl than Charlotte is," Tidu said with a confidence that seemed to come from nowhere.

"...Why do you think I won't sign with her first, since I was the one who found her first?" Ardon said, pointing out a very important point.

“That’s true. Even if they weren’t leader-class ship girls, Charlotte and I wouldn’t have a chance.” Remembering that her blood test ship girl, Adun, was also an admiral, Tidu once again lost all her strength and lay on the table drawing circles.

"Speaking of which, Admiral, don't you recognize any Leader-class ship girls?" After repeated observation, Admiral realized that he indeed didn't recognize the South Dakota. He then crossed out his judgment that South Dakota and Tidu were mother and daughter.

If it were the closest relationship, there would be no reason why Tiffany wouldn't know her South Dakota identity.

"If I knew a leader-class ship girl, I would have been rich by now," Tidu continued in a soft voice. "At least I wouldn't have been sent to this desolate place just because I offended the Enterprise from the Central Academy, a place where even if I died in battle, it would take a month or two for someone to collect my body."

"The Enterprise from the Central Academy? Is it also a Leader-class ship girl?" Adun asked, understanding the implication in Tidu's words.

"She's not only a leader-class ship girl, but she's also a ship girl who's lived since the very beginning of the war. She's practically an old monster..." Tidu was very unhappy when she mentioned that ship girl. Many of her bad experiences, such as being included in the list of dangerous targets on par with the Deep Sea Princess by the Military Police, were all thanks to the Enterprise.

"Big sister, if the corporate teachers hear you saying that, you'll be in big trouble," Charlotte, who had somehow gotten close, quickly said.

"Pah! I'm far away from the emperor now, how could she possibly reach me?" Tidu, emboldened by Charlotte's reminder, retorted, "I've seen so many teachers in my life, but I've never seen one who takes pleasure in tormenting students like her!"

"But many people who want to be students of the Enterprise can't become teachers." Charlotte tried hard to remind her boss of the benefits of being an Enterprise teacher.

"They're blind! They didn't see what was hidden behind that old monster, Enterprise! Charlotte, you didn't get any tutoring, so you wouldn't know." It seems the blow back then was quite significant; Tiffany was so excited she was practically standing on the table.

"Since this Enterprise teacher is messing with you so badly, shouldn't your family do something about it?" Adun asked curiously.

“Uh…” Charlotte froze on the spot upon hearing Adun’s question.

"..." Tidu herself, who was being asked the question, remained motionless, gesturing wildly.

"Did I say something wrong?" Out of the corner of his eye, Adon saw the Deep Sea Princess South Dako and he also turned his attention to this side, which shows that he also cares about Tidu's past life.

“Well, Big Sister is an orphan. She was found by Teacher Enterprise.” Charlotte carefully considered her words before continuing, “From a legal perspective, Teacher Enterprise is Big Sister’s adoptive mother.”

"..." Seeing Charlotte shrink into a gray, somber figure after she finished speaking, Ardon sketched a rebellious image in his mind and said, "So, Tidu is actually more of a second-generation heir than you?"

Having a leader-class ship girl as her adoptive mother, and this leader-class ship girl is also her teacher, if it weren't for Tidu taking the wrong path when she first reported on the story, this would be a standard second-generation ship girl scenario.

"Get lost!!!" Tidu roared like a lion from the east of the river, dealing zero damage to Adun.

Chapter 159: Vivi's jokes can last a lifetime

In the rest room next to the repair canal at the temporary garrison headquarters No. 666.

Aside from Omega Yuriko, all the ship girls at Naval Base No. 233 gathered around a conference table made up of several ping-pong tables.

"Nelson and your sister guard the gate and don't let anyone in!" The Prince of Wales ordered the Nelson and Rodney sisters after summoning his ship's equipment.

"What if it's the young master?" Rodney asked cautiously as Nelson dragged him to the door.

"..." The Prince of Wales paused for a moment, then made the sign of the cross and said, "God bless Britain!"

“God bless Britain, wait, Your Highness, you haven’t said what to do if the young master comes!” Rodney, who had also made the sign of the cross, suddenly remembered that the Prince of Wales had not yet answered his question.

"Shh, keep your voice down, or we'll really be blessed by God." Nelson, who immediately understood what the Prince of Wales meant, pulled his sister to the door and said.

Seeing that Nelson seemed to understand, the Prince of Wales turned around and whispered to the other hero-class ship girls in Naval Base 233:

"Alright, we can start the meeting now."

"Are you sure this will keep it from that Deep Sea Princess and those two Starship Girls?" Veneto, who was also speaking in a low voice, glanced at the various kinds of fuel milk around her and said with a sense of déjà vu.

“Richelieu?” the Prince of Wales asked Richelieu upon hearing Veneto’s question.

“The barrier has been deployed, but it’s uncertain whether it will be effective,” Richelieu said, frowning as he kept his hand on the hilt of his ship-mounted ceremonial sword.

"No effect? ​​What do you mean?" the Prince of Wales asked with some concern.

“The other side has two true interstellar ship girls and one true legendary ship girl. I’m not sure if my barrier will work,” Richelieu said, sounding even more worried than the Prince of Wales.

“…Sigh.” Upon hearing Richelieu’s words, the Prince of Wales let out a heavy sigh.

“At least for now there are no problems. I don’t feel like I’m being spied on. Besides…” Richelieu paused and continued, “If I can’t even sense them spying on me, I don’t think there’s any point in holding another war mobilization meeting.”

If it's a difference in combat strength, then any resistance will be futile; you'll only be crushed.

“That’s true. Let’s put that aside for now and have a meeting.” The Prince of Wales could only put that possibility aside for the time being and asked, “Now is the first decision.”

"Should we report the information about the Deep Sea Princess's appearance in this naval base to the Admiral?"

“I think this resolution is probably useless. The reputation has probably already been reported to the admiral,” Veneto said, pointing to the head maid who was setting out various desserts on the conference table.

“...It is my duty to report to my master at any time.” Seeing Veneto’s actions, the head maid, Shengwang, said without feeling that she had done anything wrong.

"Huh? Did the admiral say anything? Did he send reinforcements? Did he contact other garrisons?" the Prince of Wales asked excitedly.

"Master said, 'I understand,'" Reputation replied calmly.

"Huh?" Whether it was the Prince of Wales or Veneto, Richelieu or the avant-garde who had been hiding his head like a hamster until now, they were all completely dumbfounded.

"Master said, 'I understand.'" Reputation repeated his words.

"Eugen?" Prince Eugen, the first to recover from his bewilderment, uttered a line.

"That's it?" In an instant, the Prince of Wales thought of many things, such as that his ship girls had been abandoned as expendable pawns, and that a space-based weapon would be launched from high altitude in a few minutes to raze this place to the ground.

"The master only replied with that one sentence, but Commander Helena also heard about it," Reputation continued in a calm and unhurried tone.

"What did Commander Helena say?" the Prince of Wales asked somewhat nervously.

"Commander Helena said she'd like to catch up with that South Dakota." In the blink of an eye, Repulse had filled the conference table with all sorts of desserts and started pouring tea and wine for each ship girl.

"...Is that really what Commander Helena said?" Richelieu's expression was a little stiff. In her mind, the current scene was as if the general at headquarters had no idea about the suffering of the soldiers on the front lines.

"Yes, Commander Helena even asked when the young master would be coming home; she misses him a bit," Reputation said in a tone as casual as if asking a neighbor if they'd eaten.

"Does Commander Helena mean we should send the young master back and away from this troublesome place?" Qianwei let his imagination run wild.

"Is this an order or an inquiry?" the Prince of Wales asked with great concern.

"It was less of an order or an inquiry, and more of a casual question from Commander Helena about the young master," Reputation replied, knowing the Prince of Wales was overthinking it.

"Uh, so Commander Helena isn't worried about the young master's safety?" Richelieu was a little confused as to why this ship girl, who was supposed to be a mother, didn't care about her child at all.

“That’s not what Commander Helena meant, at least not at first,” said the Prestige who poured Richelieu’s glass of champagne.

"And from what you're saying, Commander Helena doesn't consider that Deep Sea Princess an enemy?" Otherwise, she wouldn't have said she wanted to catch up with her.

"I don't know about that." The Prestige, who had walked up to Veneto, glanced at the various teas and wines in his hand, thought for a moment, and then took out a can of milk from his ship's equipment space.

"It should be, maybe, it seems that's really the case. Hey, Reputation, why is mine milk?" Not knowing how to answer, Veneto saw Reputation walk up to her and pour her milk from a different bottle, and immediately forgot all her thoughts.

"Don't like the original flavor anymore? How about chocolate flavor?" Reputation said, taking out another carton of chocolate milk.

“Pfft…that’s not what I meant.” Pointing to the whiskey in the Prince of Wales’s hand and the champagne in Richelieu’s hand, Veneto downed his glass of milk in one gulp and said, “I was asking why mine is milk.”
