Daily life with the ship girl

Chapter 47: Beautiful Morning

Li Ran felt very uncomfortable sleeping. He moved his body and found that he had put on a piece of clothing without knowing when.

"Ah, I fell asleep again. What a failure."

Li Ran laughed at himself and saw that the room was getting a little dark. He sat up straight, then stood up and moved around a bit. He felt that the soreness in his body had subsided a lot.

He turned on the desk lamp and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost six o'clock.

"Oh no, the construction time has passed." Li Ran slapped his head, put on his admiral's uniform, gently opened the door of the admiral's office, then tiptoed downstairs, left the garrison, and trotted towards the construction device.

When we arrived, we found that the construction time had indeed passed, but the door was still closed. The white steam had long dissipated, but no one came out.

Li Ran became a little nervous. He asked the artificial intelligence that built the device:

"Um, did the ship girl who built it leave?"

"No, if the admiral is not nearby, the ship girl will not appear when the construction time comes."

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a little nervous:

"what about now?"

"Just a moment please."

Li Ran was dumbfounded when he heard the answer. He was waiting in front of the construction device, and his feet were sore from standing, but he still didn't see any movement.

At this time, the first ray of sunlight illuminated the sky in the distance. In the morning light, slight footsteps came from the construction equipment that had been silent for a long time, and the door finally slowly opened.

Li Ran felt that the morning light at this time was so beautiful, but compared to the person walking out of the morning light, even the morning light was eclipsed.

The blonde woman looked at Li Ran, a handsome female knight in a handsome knight's uniform, with a firm light flashing in her blue pupils. She said the classic line in a serious tone:

"Battleship Richelieu. Fighting to liberate our homeland! General, please lend me a hand."

Li Ran couldn't help but sigh, how could there be such a handsome woman in the world? He felt a little embarrassed and said quickly:

"Well, sorry to have kept you waiting. Welcome to my port. My name is Li Ran."

Richelieu stroked the western long sword beside her. This was her ship equipment that she did not need to hide. She raised the long sword. The light of the morning sun shone on the long sword, making Li Ran feel a little dazzled. Then he heard Richelieu say:

"I will defend the general's glory from now on. The Richelieu will never be absent!"

Li Ran was somewhat at a loss for words after hearing Richelieu's oath. He knew the origin of Richelieu's words, but they were somewhat different from those in the game. He quickly said:

"You don't have to call me General. Call me Admiral. I don't like the sound of General. By the way, Walkerlan arrived at the port before you. He may still be sleeping in the garrison. Do you want to go back with him to check on him?"

When Richelieu heard Li Ran talking about Vauquelin, she sheathed her sword, nodded slightly, and said:

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way, Admiral."

Li Ran nodded and led the way, but he didn't know how to start a topic. He thought it was awkward. He thought that the French ship girl might like romance, so he said:

"Well, Richelieu, do you like reading poetry?"

"like."

Li Ran felt that he had found a good topic. Seeing that Richelieu seemed quite interested, he felt relieved and continued:

"Well, what kind of poetry do you like? Romanticism?"

"It's about freedom and peace." Richelieu thought for a moment, then said seriously, "It's the defense of our homeland that deserves to be praised in poetry. Admiral, now is the perfect time to read poetry."

Li Ran felt that Richelieu was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. However, he had no way to continue the topic at the moment because they had arrived at the garrison. He said:

"Well, we've arrived at the garrison."

Richelieu took a look at Li Ran’s garrison, adjusted her clothes, and followed Li Ran into it.

Li Ran said as he walked:

"They should still be sleeping. Oh, Walker is in Room 9 on the second floor. You can go call her. I'll go cook first. They should be awake soon."

"Admiral, can you cook?"

"You're not the first person to ask me this question. Don't worry, my cooking won't be bad."

"That's not what I meant. I just think it's a bit…"

"It's nothing. You are my ship girls. What's wrong with cooking a meal? If someone talks nonsense, that's a matter for the future."

Richelieu said softly:

"The Admiral is truly a special person."

"Maybe. Just take a look around and treat the garrison as your own home." Li Ran felt that Richelieu was not as serious as Bismarck. He thought she was just a little reserved. It might be inevitable since it was their first meeting. He opened the glass door of the kitchen and said:

"By the way, if you feel bored, there are some books in the admiral's office. You can find a few yourself."

"Got it." Richelieu sat in front of the tea table without moving. She stared at Li Ran, who was busy in the kitchen with an apron on. A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She thought romantically that the admiral was a householder.

Li Ran finished making breakfast. It was exactly seven o'clock. There was a "ding" sound from the clock outside. He looked at the dishes he had made, smiled, and brought the food to the table. The breakfast was simple, a few servings of bacon and fried eggs, plus French fries, some sushi, Chinese millet porridge, and some hot milk.

He counted and found that he had not missed one person's portion, so he took off his apron and looked around the living room. Richelieu was not there. He must have gone upstairs.

Li Ran thought about it and went upstairs. He saw Lexington talking to Richelieu in the living room on the second floor.

I heard some noise in the bathroom, probably a ship girl was washing up.

He said good morning to Lexington, then walked to the rooms of Pinghai and others, knocked on the doors one by one to wake them up. Staying in bed is not a good habit.

The garrison became lively as the ship girls woke up one after another. Li Ran went into the room where Firefly and Sigsby slept together and folded their quilts. At this time, Sigsby came over holding the little bear and said:

"Admiral, hug me."

"Okay, hug me, but Sigsby, why don't you go wash your face and brush your teeth?"

"Admiral, just hold me and I'll go take a shower."

"Yes, hug me." Li Ran picked up Sigsby. The little guy finally got rid of the habit of not wearing underwear. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt a little guilty. Why was he focusing on such a weird thing? He quickly shook his head and said:

"Don't hold a doll while washing your face and brushing your teeth."

"Oh." Sigsby obediently handed the bear to Li Ran. Li Ran put the doll on the bed, then carried Sigsby to the bathroom, put her down, touched her head and said:

"Wash your face and brush your teeth yourself."

"Got it." Sigsby nodded sensibly.

Li Ran looked at Sigsby's obedient appearance and thought to himself that the destroyer was so cute. His mood became very good, so he walked to the living room on the second floor.

Li Ran looked around the living room and saw Richelieu holding Vauqueline and talking to Helena. Lexington said a few words from time to time. Sitting next to Lexington was Saratoga, who was making faces at him and was tapped on the forehead by Lexington.

Pinghai, Juno and Quincy were standing on the balcony, while Bismarck was quietly reading a copy of "Military Wheel" with a frown on his face.

When Firefly saw him, she ran over and grabbed his trouser legs.

Li Ran looked at this scene with some emotion. He could not help but feel that his garrison already had so many ship girls. He touched Firefly's long golden hair and said:

"Everyone, get ready for dinner."

After Sigsby washed her face, she ran out of the bathroom, walked to the other side of Li Ran, looked up and asked:

"Admiral, are there French fries for breakfast?"

"Yes." Li Ran smiled, then took Firefly and Sigsby's hands and went downstairs first.

The crowd followed closely behind.

At the dining table on the first floor, all the ship girls took their seats, and then Li Ran said:

"I think everyone has met Richelieu. From now on, you are all companions in the port area. I won't say much. Let's eat."

After Li Ran finished speaking, everyone started eating and spent breakfast in a warm atmosphere.

After breakfast, Lexington went to the deep-water harbor to practice carrier-based aircraft as he had to teach Gaga. Richelieu and Bismarck took the destroyers to train. Pinghai and Juno helped to clean up the dishes. Quincy wanted to help the Rhodo fairies but was stopped by Li Ran.

"Quincy, wait a minute."

Quincy was a little confused. She turned her head and said weakly:

"Admiral, Quincy is not lazy."

"I'm not saying you're lazy. You've been away for so long, do you miss your sister?"

"Yes." Quincy nodded.

"Then why don't you go back to the First Ship Girl Academy?"

"Wow, Admiral, doesn't he want Quincy anymore?" Quincy was so scared that she burst into tears. She thought Li Ran didn't want her anymore.

Li Ran was a little flustered, and he quickly comforted him:

"I'm not saying I don't want you anymore. I just want to say that you should at least tell your sister before you leave the First Ship Girl Academy. Besides, Juno has been in the port for so long, you can just send her back. I don't mean to chase you away."

"Oh, but it's so far away. It's very troublesome."

Juno popped up at this time and said:

"Stupid Quincy, don't you want to send me off?"

"No." Quincy waved his hands quickly.

"That's all." Juno's tail spear moved, and she said to Li Ran:

"Um, do you really agree to let Quincy go back to the academy? Aren't you afraid that she will be kidnapped?"

Li Ran spoke to the arrogant Juno in a playful way:

"Don't worry, you're by her side, I feel relieved."

"You are such a ..." Juno thought for a moment and decided not to argue with you. She said to Quincy:

"Didn't you say yesterday that you missed your sister? Why don't you go pack your bags now that your admiral has agreed?"

"Oh." Quincy smiled happily, with the OvO expression on his face again, and then he hurried upstairs.

Juno did not follow immediately, but looked at Li Ran and said seriously:

"You're not really going to chase Quincy away, are you? Even though she's a little bit stupid, I won't let you bully her, understand?"

Pinghai was a little angry when she heard what Juno said. She said angrily:

"Juno, you can't say that, Admiral!"

Li Ran waved to Ping Hai, and then said to Juno in the same serious tone:

"She's not stupid, she's just a little confused. I don't know why Quincy decided to stay, but she recognized me. My port area will always be open to her. Of course, I also hope you can come."

Juno curled her lips, then ignored Li Ran and said to Ping Hai in a coquettish manner:

“What a greedy guy, okay, Pinghai, it’s not okay if I’m wrong, but I’m leaving this time, and I don’t know when I can come back. Are you so cruel and still angry with me?”

Pinghai looked at Juno like this and found that Li Ran was not angry. She pouted:

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Li Ran smiled and watched Ping Hai accompany Juno upstairs. He walked to the door and glanced at the sky. He saw a few blue carrier-based aircraft flying by and thought to himself:

It should be Lexington teaching Gaga how to operate carrier-based aircraft, right?

Then, Li Ran saw a flock of birds flying by and couldn't help muttering to himself:

Such a beautiful morning.

Chapter 48: Quincy Don't Cry

Li Ran stood at the door of the garrison for a while before Quincy packed a small suitcase. No one knew what he brought, but Juno came with nothing.

"Quincy, do you want to bring some gifts back?" Li Ran felt that since he was going back to see New Orleans, it would be better to bring some gifts. He thought about it, but found that there was nothing good to give to Quincy, and his face looked a little embarrassed.

Quincy shook her head and said softly:

"Admiral, no need. My sister is usually very busy with work. Hehe, if I bring a gift, she will accuse me of wasting money."

Juno took Quincy's hand and said unhappily:

"Hurry back, tomorrow is April Fool's Day, you big fool. There will be an April Fool's Festival at the academy. Let's go back quickly. Aoba will definitely not give up the opportunity to defeat you this time."

Li Ran was quite interested when he heard this, but he had no way to get out of it for the time being. He thought about it and asked:

"Your academy is holding a school festival? And why did Aoba want to defeat Quincy?"

Quincy's face turned red. Juno looked at her friend's shy look and laughed:
