Daily life with the ship girl

U96 made a face and said:

"Xiao Zhai, are you saying Sister Miao is not gentle?"

Xiao Zhai retracted his gaze and said mischievously:

"No, I mean, Sister Meow is more gentle to Uncle."

Leipzig finally couldn't help it. She happily ruffled Xiao Zhai's hair and then teased Bismarck:

"Hahaha, Bismarck, I didn't expect Xiao Zhai to see through it. Tell the truth."

"Stop it." Nuremberg looked at Bismarck's cheeks, which turned red rarely. She smiled and patted Leipzig's head.

……

The topics among girls are always gossip, and of course, discussions about the opposite sex. Li Ran didn't want to eavesdrop, but they talked louder and louder, which made him feel a little embarrassed. After cleaning up the table, he coughed and said:

"I'm going to the balcony to get some fresh air."

There was no way around it. Leipzig was so outspoken that even Bismarck couldn't cope with it.

However, Bismarck, who came from a military background, openly acknowledged some issues, such as whether she liked it or not, but she cleverly avoided questions about how far the relationship had progressed.

Li Ran walked to the balcony and closed the door. The noise inside became much quieter and he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the topics discussed between girls could be so explicit.

A night breeze blew towards him, bringing a slight chill. The Haiyun Community is located in the eastern district of Qiyun City. From here one can see the navigation lighthouse on the southeast side. He felt that today was the most relaxing day of his life. Before, when he was in the port area, he had to deal with a lot of work every day facing the threat of the three islands. After the three islands were finally recovered, he rushed to Qiyun Port without stopping, but the Bai family suddenly terminated the contract, and later he participated in the war. It can be said that he has not relaxed for a long time.

Now these troubles are temporarily over. He squinted his eyes and looked at the dim street lights in the community. This world may not have entertainment facilities like television yet, so now he can see people coming out for a walk after dinner in the community. He feels that although this world does not have as many bright neon lights as the earth, and its technology is not very advanced, it is unexpectedly good.

Li Ran was in a daze for a while, then he thought about what he was going to do after returning to Hong Kong. Then he realized that he still needed to consider some things. The development of the three islands had to be put on track as soon as possible, and he also had to consider purchasing some equipment for the Ruoduo fairies and the Azure Fairies in the future.

"It seems that I have to think about how to make money after returning to Hong Kong."

Li Ran sighed, it was a bit embarrassing to say that the expenses for coming to Qiyun City were still paid for by Nuremberg's private money, which meant that he was still a gigolo. Although Nuremberg had become his ship girl, he was a retired soldier after all, and the man's self-esteem was still very strong. He felt that if he didn't work hard, he would really let down those beautiful ship girls in the port area.

"Wow~"

The soundproof door of the balcony was opened, Li Ran heard footsteps, and then he heard Bismarck gently putting a thin coat on himself.

Li Ran turned his head, saw Bismarck, and said softly:

"what happened?"

"Admiral, are we going back to port tomorrow?"

"Well, yes, Nuremberg told you, I had originally wanted to stay a few more days, but now that I have my own ship, I really miss the scenery of the port area."

"Admiral, did the Governor tell you something?"

"It's nothing. I just don't like it here. I feel very uncomfortable."

"Admiral, I want to ask you something."

"what?"

"Emden said he wanted to move to our port area. What do you think?"

"Ah? Move over?" Li Ran was stunned, then put on his coat, smiled and said:

"Of course, but can you tell me why?"

"I think U96 wants to meet U47. After all, U47 is her senior."

"I had forgotten that U96 was a member of the Black Cross Mercenary Group."

"Admiral, do you think the letter I wrote can be delivered?"

"Of course it will work. The Governor-General of the Far East shouldn't be unable to protect even a letter."

"I'm a little worried about my sister. I wonder how she is doing now?"

"Nuan Port should still be under blockade. I think given Bei Zhai's personality, he would stay at the tavern at this time. But I am more worried about whether the failure of the cooperation between Sihai Chamber of Commerce and us will have an impact on Bei Zhai."

Bismarck was silent for a while, and then accompanied Li Ran to quietly look at the moonlight.

Xiao Zhai mischievously opened the door and peeked at the two people standing together in the moonlight. Her eyes rolled around, then she took out her drawing board and began her "art" creation.

"Xiao Zhai, what are you doing?" Leipzig's voice came from behind. Xiao Zhai was startled and the drawing board fell to the ground. Li Ran and Bismarck turned around, and then Bismarck walked up and picked up Xiao Zhai:

"Eavesdropping is not a good thing for children."

Li Ran noticed the drawing board that Xiao Zhai had dropped. He picked it up curiously and saw two sketches on it. Unlike the previous doodles, the sketches were quite good. He shook the drawing board in surprise and asked Xiao Zhai:

"You drew this? It's great."

"Well, really?" Xiao Zhai thought she would be scolded. Emden had told her that children who eavesdropped would be scolded. Unexpectedly, Li Ran did not blame her, but praised her instead. She said excitedly:

"I learned it secretly without telling sister Emden."

"Cough cough..." Emden coughed and Xiao Zhai stuck out his tongue.

Li Ran couldn't help laughing, and then said to Bismarck:

"You can also take a look. It seems that Xiao Zhai and Bei Zhai have the same attainments in painting."

Bismarck put Xiao Zhai down and took the drawing board. She looked at her own portrait on it and rubbed Xiao Zhai's head:

“It’s a very good painting.”

"Sister Meow isn't angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Bismarck was a little amused.

Li Ran looked at this scene and suddenly thought, was Bei Zhai the same as Xiao Zhai when he was a child? No, could it be that Bei Zhai's love of drawing in his sister's notebooks was also inherited? This was not possible. Xiao Zhai just needed to be cute, and one otaku girl was enough.

Li Ran secretly made up his mind that he must not let Xiao Zhai become the second Bei Zhai, yes, he must not.

Chapter 204: Departure

Li Ran thought about it and came up with a plan to open an academy in his own port area. This was also the nightmare of the destroyer girls later. Now the beginning of this nightmare was brewing in Li Ran's mind.

Being disturbed by Xiao Zhai, and unable to have a private conversation with Bismarck, Li Ran simply gave up the idea of ​​talking to Bismarck tonight. In addition, there was a lack of entertainment at night in this world, and without computers and other equipment, he felt that the night was not going to be easy, so he said to Xiao Zhai:

"Let me tell you a fairy tale."

"No, no, uncle, play video games with me. U96 is so stupid. I don't want to play with her."

"You're the stupid one~" U96 took Nuremberg's hand and walked over, then said:

"Sister Nuremberg, I want to go out and play."

Li Ran looked at Nuremberg and heard U96's request. He thought for a moment and then said:

"Xiao Zhai, let's go for a walk together."

Xiao Zhai is indeed Xiao Zhai. When she heard that she was going out, she immediately lost interest:

"Well, I have to go out. It's troublesome."

"If you promised me to go for a walk, uncle will take you to play claw machine."

"Admiral, you can't spoil her like this." Bismarck wanted to agree when he saw Xiao Zhai, but she scolded him:

"Go out with Sister Miao, otherwise you won't be a good child."

"Well, okay, then I want Sister Meow to hug me."

Xiao Zhai pouted. Bismarck's words still carried more weight than those of others. It was not fear, but more like respect and love. After all, although little Tirpitz looked like Tirpitz when he was a child, the memory also contained inherent attachment to Bismarck and other emotions.

"Your words are still effective." Nuremberg rubbed U96's silver hair, then said to Bismarck with a smile.

Bismarck just smiled faintly. She watched Xiao Zhai calm down, then picked her up and said to Li Ran:

"Let's go, Admiral."

"Ah? Where to go?"

"Let's go for a walk." Nuremberg took U96 by the hand, and then said to Leipzig and Emden who were still packing up:

"Are you two ready? I found free labor for you."

"Okay." Emden opened the door, and then she was wearing a very cool light blue dress. Leipzig was still wearing the military uniform, the same as Bismarck.

Li Ran nodded and greeted Emden, then said to Nuremberg:

"Why do you suddenly want to go for a walk?"

"Nothing, I just did it on a whim. Okay, Admiral, let's go. We're leaving Qiyun City tomorrow anyway. I think you still have a lot of things to buy. If you go back to the port, you have to bring more gifts, right?"

"Well, that's true." Li Ran touched his chin. His beard had grown a little longer. He thought about the umbrellas and dolls he and Bismarck had bought before. But if they were gifts for them, it would be a bit shabby. He just happened to have some money left, and he would have his own yacht when he returned. There was no need to save money now. He nodded and said:

"Then I'll go shopping with you guys, as long as you don't dislike me."

"Admiral, that won't happen~" Nuremberg blinked at Li Ran ambiguously.

Li Ran went out with Bismarck and others and left Haiyun Community. Then Li Ran felt a little lost and asked:

"Are we still going to South Street?"

Emden and Nuremberg each held one side of U96. This little guy could run away if they weren't careful, so they had to be extremely alert. When she heard the two Li Ran's questions, she said as she walked:

"It doesn't have to be that far. The East District also has a business street, but it's not as prosperous as the South Street and the North Street. But it's also very lively. What's more important is that the East District Business Street is close to the east coast of Qiyun Port. The night view of the east coast of Qiyun at night is one of the top ten night views in Xia Country."

"Night view?" Li Ran immediately became interested. After all, he had no ambition to dominate the world, even if he traveled through time. His dream had always been to travel, eat and take photos. He nodded and said:

"Then I'll go get a car."

Emden nodded and introduced Li Ran:

"No need. The east exit of Haiyun Community is the stop for the light rail tram. If we go there now, we should be able to catch the next tram."

"Light rail tram?" Li Ran's eyes lit up. This mode of transportation is very suitable for the era in which this world is in.

"Well, this is also the work of the Governor of the Far East. Now it has become a scenic spot in Qiyun City. More and more merchants come here to travel every year. However, there are also more escort commissions. I have to thank you, the Governor of the Far East." Leipzig explained as she walked beside Bismarck.

……

As everyone was talking, they arrived at the light rail tram stop, which was the Haiyun Community Station.

I found that there were quite a lot of people at the station, but they were all couples. The arrival of Li Ran and others made the men shift their attention from their female companions to the ship girls around Li Ran.

There was no way. The appearance of the ship girls was too outstanding. Especially when so many of them stood together, they were simply a beautiful sight in themselves. Li Ran coughed, and those animals quickly came back to their senses.

Li Ran sighed and said:

"I think maybe there's no need to go see the night view. You guys standing here will become the scenery."

"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~" Leipzig made a contemptuous expression, then puffed out his chest and said proudly:

"I'm very handsome, right?"

"Handsome." Li Ran's mouth twitched, and then he looked at the little rabbit on Leipzig's chest and made an evaluation in his mind, which should be A? Or B?"

"Stop it, the car is coming." Emden let go of U96's hand and said:

"Follow me closely, I'm going to buy the tickets."

Li Ran nodded, and then said to Xiao Zhai:

"Come down first, let's get in the car."

"Oh." Xiao Zhai nodded sensibly, and then said to Bismarck:

"Sister Meow, please put me down."

Bismarck was really reluctant to let Xiao Zhai go. After all, Xiao Zhai was so cute, and she actually had a bit of a sister-con in her bones.

"Xiao Zhai, don't get lost. Hold on to my hand and your sister Miao's hand." Li Ran took Xiao Zhai's soft hand, and then felt that he, Xiao Zhai, and Bismarck were like a family.

Bismarck also noticed the eagerness in Li Ran's eyes, but she still took Xiao Zhai's hand.

A few minutes later, the tram started to move slowly.

Li Ran, Bismarck and others were sitting in the second carriage. It is worth mentioning that the light rail tram in this world is actually more like a small train. It has three carriages, about 180 meters long, and each carriage can accommodate 36 people.

And because it is a sightseeing train, it only stops for a few minutes.

Li Ran, Xiao Zhai and others happened to be sitting in a row near the window. He let go of Xiao Zhai's hand and handed it to Bismarck to take care of. Then he looked at the scenery receding outside the window. He found that the speed of this light rail tram was not too fast, just enough for every tourist to see the night view along the way.

When the light rail tram passed through a not-so-long tunnel, Li Ran found himself in another world. He could feel the tram moving downwards, and then the street lights on both sides began to decrease. He originally thought it would be a boring journey, but then it seemed that something was alarmed.

A moment later, the moving tram was surrounded by a sea of ​​light spots, and then he heard Xiao Zhai and U96 shouting:

"There are so many fireflies~ So beautiful~"

Li Ran felt a little bit sorry. It was unscientific that such a valley was full of fireflies. However, he had to admit that everything in front of him was like a fairyland. The tram was running in a sea of ​​fireflies. The surrounding scenery was like a dream, giving people the illusion of entering a fairyland. He felt that it was a pity not to be able to take a photo of such beauty:
