Daily life with the ship girl

"I'm back, that's good, that's good."

Lexington instantly felt her tear glands about to go out of control, but as the flagship of the commander's first fleet, she couldn't lose control of her emotions at this time. She smiled charmingly, gathered her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and said softly:

"The First Fleet has returned after completing its mission, which has made the Admiral worried."

Bismarck's expression softened. She straightened her military uniform and placed the Iron Cross medal in front of her. Seeing Li Ran's concerned look, she responded with a slightly stiff but gentle smile.

Pinghai was still full of energy. When she saw Li Ran, she did not throw herself into Li Ran's arms like Firefly, but said:

"Admiral, Pinghai misses you."

In one sentence, Li Ran felt his satisfaction as an admiral, and it instantly exploded. He looked at these battleship girls, and for the first time in his heart, he felt a sense of identity with this world. He rubbed Firefly's head, then squatted down, opened the suitcase, and said to the four people:

"It just rained. I'm afraid it will be a little cold at night, so I prepared some coats for you. Put them on first."

Lexington watched Li Ran take out admiral coats one by one from the suitcase, and her favorable impression of Li Ran suddenly increased a lot.

Li Ran handed the clothes to the four girls one by one. When he handed them to Lexington, Li Ran heard Lexington say mischievously in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Commander, are you reluctant to put it on for me?"

Li Ran looked at the charming and seductive look on his wife's face. He felt that he would be a fool if he did not agree, so he quickly and carefully put on her coat.

"Admiral." Feeling Li Ran's gentle and considerate gesture, Lexington said softly:

"Lexington really likes the commander more and more."

Li Ran felt that he almost lost control of himself. If he hadn't been concerned about the presence of other ship girls, he swore that he would execute his wife on the spot.

However, after the joy of returning to the port, everyone felt an indescribable happiness. Li Ran held Pinghai Firefly on the left and right, and Lexington and Bismarck followed closely behind. The four of them did not speak along the way back to the garrison.

Li Ran let go of the hands holding the two little ones, and said to the four girls:

"Wait a moment, the food may be a little cold, I'll go heat it up."

Well, Li Ran has now turned into a househusband.

After heating up the food, Li Ran looked at the four girls but they didn't pick up their chopsticks right away. He felt a little strange:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Let's eat."

Lexington looked a little disappointed. Although they had defeated the Deep Sea this time, the mission assigned to her by Li Ran was not completed. She said with a somewhat ashamed tone:

"Commander, the mission..."

Li Ran waved his hand, interrupting Lexington and said:

"Eat first. If you have anything to say, talk after you're full."

Lexington just nodded, and the four of them began to eat. The atmosphere was a bit strange, and the fireflies didn't make any noise, which made Li Ran feel a bit irritated.

After finishing his meal and clearing away the dishes, Li Ran walked to the door and stared at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.

"Commander, regarding this mission, I..." Lexington hesitated for a moment. She saw Bismarck and others went to take a shower, so she took this opportunity to confess to Li Ran that the surprise attack had failed. Unexpectedly, Li Ran turned around and hugged his wife tightly.

Li Ran's body couldn't stop shaking.

"Commander..." Lexington's body suddenly stiffened, and her face turned red at Li Ran's bold action.

Li Ran felt the reassuring scent of Lexington and sniffed the scent of her hair. His voice revealed deep fatigue:

"Don't talk about the mission. As long as you come back safely, that's more important than anything else."

Lexington could feel Li Ran's body trembling, not because of excitement, but because of fear. She could sense that Li Ran was afraid, and she sighed in her heart:

Commander, are you afraid of losing us?

Lexington gently put his arms around Li Ran's back and responded in a firm but gentle tone:

"We will not leave the Commander, ever."

The moonlight fell between the two people hugging each other, and a warm atmosphere quietly filled the air.

Chapter 19: The roar of carrier-based aircraft in the early morning

Nothing happened between Li Ran and Lexington. After the hug, he felt that he had lost his composure and quickly let go of Lexington's hand, looking embarrassed.

Lexington smiled, looked at Li Ran who looked embarrassed, and said softly:

"Commander, don't be too nervous."

Li Ran wanted to say something, but heard Bismarck shouting:

"Lexington, it's time for you to take a shower."

"Coming." Lexington responded, and she whispered softly in Li Ran's ear:

"The commander is so cute when he's shy."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, Lexington had already gone upstairs.

It is worth mentioning that the costumes of the Ship Girls are a kind of magical equipment, otherwise it would be too troublesome for the Ship Girls to carry clothes with them like ordinary people. It’s just that the material of the Ship Girls’ costumes is rare and difficult to damage, but it does not mean that they will not be damaged. As long as the Ship Girls are damaged or seriously damaged, the Ship Girls’ costumes need to be repaired like the ship uniforms.

Li Ran didn't know that if his ship girls were defeated in this attack, he, a trainee admiral who didn't even have a repair shop, might not even be able to get the ship girls into the channel.

Back to the topic, after taking a shower, Bismarck changed out of her ship girl uniform jacket. Her figure was considered tall among the ship girls, and she looked even more handsome than Li Ran in the admiral uniform. However, her short pink hair was wet, and her cat ears were drooping. When she walked downstairs, she saw the scene where Li Ran and Lexington ended their hug, and she always had a strange feeling in her heart.

Li Ran looked at Bismarck in men's clothing and silently said thank God, the uniform was really tempting.

However, after expressing his feelings, Li Ran was immediately made to feel guilty by Bismarck's half-smile.

Bismarck retracted her slightly scrutinizing and teasing gaze, and she straightened her tone and said, "Admiral, do you mind if I borrow your clothes?"

Li Ran thought for a moment, sighed, and said:

"I don't mind, but I'm sorry to bother you. When we have time, let's go to land to buy some clothes. Otherwise, it will be too unfair to you."

"That's thoughtful of you, Admiral. Actually, we have ship girl uniforms, but like the ship uniforms, they need maintenance. So in order to give you the source of your birth, I thought of borrowing your clothes. But they really fit you well. Also, the safety of the port is still a big problem. It would be great if the four sisters of Königsberg could come. Otherwise, we can't go to the battle with peace of mind." Bismarck was worthy of being a soldier. He started to worry about the defense of the port before he finished his three sentences.

Li Ran looked a little disappointed, but he knew that as an admiral, he could no longer be irresponsible like in the game and send them out at will. Moreover, for such a large island, manpower was indeed a headache for him. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the blue elves that Lexington had mentioned. He remembered the construction interface in the game, and those tiny construction workers. If they were turned from the game into reality, wouldn't it be in line with the setting of these elves?

Li Ran thought about it and decided to wait until Lexington finished his shower before asking. Now, the important thing was to talk to Bismarck about their expedition. Although he wanted to ignore it, he was also vulnerable just now. Avoiding reality was not a solution, so he said:

"Can you tell me what your attack was about?"

Bismarck felt her hair was wet. She walked to the door, feeling the night breeze blowing from time to time, looked at Li Ran with a half-smile, and said:

"Lexington actually wanted to tell the Admiral about the failure of the surprise attack, but Admiral, you really don't want to hear it. Why do you want to ask now?"

Li Ran scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:

"That's just excessive worry, now you tell me."

Bismarck nodded, feeling a little warm in her heart. She could see through Li Ran's worry at a glance. She felt very lucky to meet such an admiral, so she organized her words and gave a brief account of the battle.

Li Ran felt a little scared after hearing this, but then he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It looks like there was no danger, but I didn't expect that Pinghai killed the deep-sea aircraft carrier. It's really surprising."

Bismarck nodded, she hesitated, and said:

"Pinghai's child is indeed excellent, but you can see that she is very emotional. Although she is full of energy, she seems to always want to become stronger. This is a good thing, but I am afraid that if she is like this, she will be psychologically..."

Bismarck, who is also a ship girl, understands that if a ship girl is too obsessed with one thing, her mind will easily be lost. The life of a ship girl is originally born from beautiful thoughts. Spiritual problems are what they are most afraid of encountering. The solution to this problem is also very simple. All she needs is the admiral's guidance or care. That's why Bismarck thought of talking about this with Li Ran.

Li Ran shook his head:

"It's okay. Ping Hai has been working hard. I understand that. But I believe she is just too eager to grow up quickly. I will talk to her when I have time."

Bismarck glanced behind her with a sense of meaning, and saw the red cheongsam disappear in a flash. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything should be fine now.

However, Bismarck's face immediately turned serious. She thought for a moment and expressed her concerns:

"However, Admiral, if the Deep Sea retreats ahead of schedule, I don't think the situation will actually ease much. The Deep Sea forces on Island C are far from being seriously injured. I am very worried that if the Deep Sea is really undergoing transformation, it will be a huge threat to the port area and even to the entire world."

Li Ran frowned slightly. He also knew the seriousness of the problem. After all, in the game, the ship girls seemed to have completely suppressed the Deep Sea. However, every time he entered the BOSS point, he was inevitably scratched, broken, severely damaged, and eaten. Now it was the real world. If the Deep Sea was really planning to transform, then for the originally powerful ship girls, the balance of power might be unbalanced. He said:

"That's right. How can we allow others to sleep peacefully beside our bed? No matter what, we must investigate the deep sea movements of Island C as soon as possible."

Bismarck nodded after hearing this. She felt that the topic was a bit heavy and wondered if she was being too serious. She pretended to be nonchalant and asked:

"I hope the Admiral doesn't think I'm being long-winded."

Li Ran heard Bismarck's tone, mixed with a hint of nervousness. He looked at the trees swaying gently in the breeze and the silhouettes scattered in front of the garrison. He said jokingly:

"If you hadn't said that, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night. Thank you, Bismarck."

Bismarck's ears stood up and moved slightly, showing the German cat's happy mood at the moment. She said confidently:

"Admiral, please rely on me more in the future."

Li Ran nodded slightly.

After nightfall, Li Ran took into consideration the hard work of the ship girls, so he did not waste too much of their time. He settled the noisy Fireflies, chatted with Pinghai for a while, and said good night to Bismarck and Lexington.

The garrison returned to peace, and the night passed quietly.

The next morning, Li Ran was awakened by the sound of birds. He got up from the living room floor in a daze, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and saw a few seagulls flying in the distance. He took a deep breath.

Then, she saw carrier-based aircraft roaring from not far away.

When Lexington heard the roar of the carrier-based aircraft, she didn't care about her disheveled clothes. She ran from the bedroom to the balcony of the living room and also released the carrier-based aircraft.

However, after a moment, Lexington looked strange. She took back the carrier-based aircraft and looked at Li Ran with a lecherous look. Then she realized that she was only wearing underwear and shouted:

"Don't look."

Li Ran turned around quickly and said:

"No, the white one, I didn't see it."

Lexington blushed. It was all that girl's fault. She came without telling me and disturbed me so early in the morning. She also embarrassed me. She hurried back to her bedroom, but before leaving, she said:

"Commander, my sister must have come to find you and frightened you."

Sister? Li Ran's brain froze a little. He looked at the carrier-based aircraft that were starting to return. There seemed to be a golden light flashing. He was a little confused, but Lexington said it was okay, so it should be okay.

Li Ran yawned, went into the bathroom to wash up, and went downstairs. He saw Pinghai preparing breakfast in the kitchen. He smelled the familiar and warm smell of fried eggs. He felt a little hungry, so he smiled and greeted Pinghai:

"Ping Hai, good morning."

"Good morning, Admiral." Ping Hai responded energetically, without turning her head, and continued to be busy. Li Ran did not go to disturb her.

After a while, Bismarck and Firefly also finished washing up and went downstairs, followed by Lexington. Everyone knelt on the floor and were about to start eating when they heard the roar of carrier-based aircraft again.

Lexington was about to say that it was a prank by his sister, but he heard an explosion and everyone's face changed immediately.

Chapter 20: Deep Sea Movements

Li Ran looked at Lexington's pale face. He knew that there was no time to lose, so he said:

"Saratoga must have encountered a situation. Everyone prepare to fight."

Lexington didn't think much about why Li Ran knew her sister's name, and immediately rushed out of the garrison.

"Don't just stand there, attack, I'm fine, don't worry about me." Li Ran looked at Bismarck and the others who were hesitant. He knew they were worried about his safety, but now was not the time to think about it. Saratoga was Lexington's sister, and he, as her admiral, could not sit idly by, so he quickly ordered:

"I order you to attack immediately and assist Lexington!"

Bismarck looked at Li Ran, who looked determined, and sighed:

"Then be careful, Admiral."

Li Ran nodded. His palms were sweating. The deep sea was coming too fast. He felt that things were no longer difficult. Seeing that the ship girls had all set off, he walked to the gate of the garrison and listened to the bombing sounds of fighter planes from time to time. For the first time, he felt that the threat of the deep sea was so close to him:

"It seems that my sense of crisis is still too weak, damn it!"

……

When Bismarck went out to sea, she found Lexington holding a girl, whose clothes were torn and looked badly damaged, and not far from Lexington was a densely packed deep-sea fleet, and she gasped.

Pinghai also saw this scene, but she was not afraid. Instead, she immediately remembered her duty as a frigate, rushed to the right side of Lexington, and shot down a sneak attacking deep-sea carrier-based aircraft with an anti-aircraft gun.

Firefly was not afraid at all. She rushed to the other side and fired three torpedoes, sinking a deep-sea heavy cruiser that was preparing to fire.

"What should we do, Sister Bismarck!" Firefly dodged a shell from a deep-sea light cruiser and asked Bismarck.

"First, cover Lexington and take the girl back to the port. Firefly, you will be in charge of the support, and Pinghai will be in charge of air defense."

Ping Hai nodded. She looked at the carrier-based aircraft circling overhead and fighting fiercely. Her face was firm and she said with full energy:

"give it to me."

However, although the Deep Sea Fleet was furious at their offensive, they did not continue to pursue them, but seemed to want to confine and blockade them near the island.
