Daily life with the ship girl

"No matter what, with the admiral here, I believe I will find my sister."

Nuremberg looked at Li Ran and Bismarck standing together and looking at her. She knew what the man meant by his eyes. She walked up with the three little ones and said:

"Thank you, Admiral. We have been looking for them for a long time."

"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank Bismarck. She has been taking care of them." Li Ran wanted to ease the not-so-harmonious relationship between Bismarck and Hindenburg, so it would be better to remember this favor to Bismarck.

Sure enough, when Nuremberg heard this, she looked at Hindenburg, meaning, it’s up to you.

Hindenburg was not a child after all. Although she was the ship girl who had awakened from the half-blueprint ship, her prejudice against Bismarck was not too deep. She also knew that her words when they first met were indeed a little ill-considered. Now that Bismarck had helped me so much, she spoke dryly:

"Thank you, Bismarck."

Bismarck wanted to explain, but saw Li Ran shaking his head barely audibly. She sighed inwardly, thinking that the admiral wanted her to use this incident to ask about her sister's whereabouts. After all, if there was a favor involved, Nuremberg would not be able to refuse.

After thinking this through, Bismarck said:

"You're welcome. Now is not the place to have a conversation, Admiral. Let's go back to the garrison."

"Well, that's fine. You two, please come in." Li Ran nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

The crowd marched towards the Xiguang Island Garrison in a mighty procession.

Brooklyn watched the conversation and said to the attacker:

"What do you think we should do next?"

"What should we do?" The attacker was a little confused, and she said as a matter of course:

"Of course I will continue to practice, continue to gain experience, and then become a legend like that senior attacker!"

"The legend of successfully transforming a light carrier into a regular aircraft carrier, Raider. If there was no admiral, wouldn't this be too difficult?"

"I know, but if you can do it, I can do it too."

"But the senior raider you mentioned seems to have an admiral as well."

"Ah, Senior, is she an admiral? I didn't even know that?" The attacker was stunned for a long time, then said indifferently:

"Get some wine and find someone. Brooklyn, you won't leave me, right?"

"I really can't do anything about you." A hint of complexity flashed through Brooklyn's eyes. She looked at her sister Helena's admiral's back, the white admiral's uniform, and she murmured:

Would you be a good choice?

Li Ran didn't feel anyone's gaze at this time. He walked in front, with Lexington and Bismarck beside him. As for the others, they continued with their daily training. After all, the rules had been set before. Although there were guests, Li Ran still did not let the destroyers end the training early.

This caused the destroyers to quarrel in the exclusive channel.

Li Ran could only promise them that they would not have to attend evening classes after completing their training.

This made the destroyers behave themselves a little better.

"Admiral, aren't they being too noisy?" Lexington was the secretary ship, but she could hear clearly on the exclusive channel that except for Pinghai, the destroyers all clamored that they did not want to train. She was a little worried.

"It's okay. They are just kids. Besides, it's okay if they miss one or two night classes. They train very seriously. Sometimes you can't be so strict with them."

"You spoil them too much."

"If I don't spoil them, who will? By the way, I'm going to go to the construction equipment later. You and Bismarck can decide anything."

Li Ran said to Lexington and Bismarck in the exclusive channel.

"Understood." Lexington and Bismarck responded in unison.

When they arrived at the garrison, everyone was out for training or patrolling, so the gate was closed, but not locked. After all, Saratoga's carrier-based aircraft were responsible for the reconnaissance of the entire island, so there was no need to worry about foreign invasion. Even if someone escaped the carrier-based aircraft's sky reconnaissance, they would come into Helena's radar detection range as soon as they arrived at Dawn Island.

Therefore, the gate of the garrison was just closed but not locked.

Li Ran pushed the door open and said:

"Everyone please."

Nuremberg and Hindenburg looked at the two-story garrison in front of them. It looked very plain in appearance, unlike the Japanese style of Admiral Lei Ming's uniform. Although it looked elegant, it was a bit flashy. They had some Prussian traditions and did not like flashy buildings.

When they saw that Li Ran's garrison looked simple in appearance, their first impression was very good, and their liking for Li Ran deepened.

When they entered the garrison, they found the decoration inside to be low-key yet profound, a masterpiece of a master's hand, which made them all find nothing to criticize. The decoration was delicate and rigorous, which suited their taste very much.

Hindenburg could not help but exclaim:

"The decoration is very rigorous and delicate, comparable to St. Scott's Church."

"St. Scott's Church?" Lexington murmured the name. She seemed to have heard of this place somewhere before. She asked casually:

"I wonder if you are talking about St. Scott's Church in Lancaster Empire?"

"Yes, our base is there." Hindenburg blurted out without thinking.

After she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it, and Nuremberg secretly held his forehead.

"Oh." Lexington said with a half-smile:

"The headquarters of your group is in the Lancaster Empire."

"Yes, Miss Lexington, you are amazing." Nuremberg knew he could no longer hide it, so he sighed and admitted it openly.

"I'm just asking casually. Please take a seat first." Lexington chuckled, then said to Bai Nuoyan and others:

"My commander has something urgent to attend to, so Bismarck and I will entertain you."

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to deal with." Li Ran looked at everyone's inquiring eyes and didn't explain much. Instead, he put on his admiral uniform and said:

"I'll be back soon. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"Go ahead, go ahead. You're such a nagging man." Bai Nuoyan looked at Li Ran with some disgust and said unhappily.

The other ship girls did not dare to speak like Bai Nuoyan, because Bai Nuoyan and Li Ran were both admirals, and they could not interrupt the conversation between the admirals.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Bismarck, if you have any issues, just decide on your own. You don't have to wait for me to come back. Just ask if you have any questions. Your sister's issues are my issues." Li Ran nodded apologetically, then walked out of the garrison, giving instructions to Bismarck on the exclusive channel as he walked.

"Okay, I understand, Admiral." Bismarck responded.

Li Ran hung up the phone. He saw that it was already late and estimated that the construction time had long passed. It was almost evening. He did not expect that he would be able to return so soon after this trip. He originally thought that it would take a few days before he could meet these two newly built ship girls.

"That's good too. I can meet you guys earlier. I wonder if you two are the ship girls."

Li Ran muttered to himself, and a few minutes later he came to the location of the construction device. Seeing that the construction time had indeed been completed, he took a deep breath and said to the construction device artificial intelligence:

“Is the construction finished?”

"It has been built. Please wait." The AI ​​seemed to be confirming Li Ran's identity. After a moment, white steam slowly emanated from the door. Then Li Ran heard the AI ​​say:

"Construction has been confirmed to be completed, please be prepared for the arrival."

Li Ran stared at the white steam intently. He didn't know who would come out first. After all, he quit the game and he was not sure if he remembered some of the ships' construction times correctly.

When the white steam slowly dissipated, a ship girl dressed in a maid outfit slowly walked out.

Then she performed the etiquette of a head maid:

"The first ship of the Renown-class battlecruiser. This is the Renown. Whether it's fighting or serving, I will handle it with ease. Sorry to have kept you waiting, Master."

Chapter 149: Reputation in the Kitchen?

"Shengwang, um, hello, just call me Li Ran." Li Ran didn't expect that the first person he saw was Shengwang, but the master's name seemed a bit strange, he scratched his head and said.

"Master, as an excellent maid, you are not allowed to address your master by his name."

"Well, I can't call you by your name, so I'll call you Admiral. It sounds a little strange to me, Master."

"No, the master is the master. Even if the master is an admiral, he is still a master of reputation."

Shengyu looked serious. She had always been a perfect maid and would not allow herself to be rude. She saw that Li Ran's collar was a little messy, so she walked up to him, straightened it, and said:

"The master must always pay attention to the neatness of his clothes. From now on, these tasks will be done by reputation."

Li Ran was a little nervous about Shengyu's behavior, but looking at Shengyu's meticulousness and serious expression, he could only accept it.

"Then please give me more advice in the future."

"It's my job, so you don't have to be polite."

Shengwang tidied Li Ran's clothes and then stood behind him.

To be honest, this feeling of being served is really weird, but, she is worthy of being the head maid.

Li Ran sighed while looking at the construction equipment, waiting for the arrival of another ship girl.

After a while, footsteps were finally heard.

Then came a ship girl wearing a British Royal Navy uniform, white silk over-the-knee boots, and a hat similar to the one worn by the captain in Pirates of the Caribbean (I can't name this hat, please refer to the game illustration for details). She looked at Li Ran and Shengwei, as if confirming something. After a moment, she slowly walked out of the door of the construction device, then performed a British gentleman's etiquette, took off the hat on her head, and introduced in a pleasant voice:

"Battleship, Rodney. I like the Atlantic breeze. What about you, Admiral?"

I like you.

Li Ran wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, he thought that saying this would definitely reduce his impression of her, so he said in a serious tone:

"My name is Li Ran. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Admiral, is my sister here with you?"

"Sorry, Nelson is not in my port area at the moment." Li Ran was a little helpless. Rodney was indeed a sister-con.

"I'm sorry, but you can rely on me more when my sister is not around."

"Then I'll take care of you from now on." Li Ran nodded. Looking at Rodney's beautiful short blond hair and his piercing blue eyes, he thought for a moment and said:

"It's getting late. Let's go back to the garrison. There are many guests here today. The destroyers are almost done with their training. We should get to know everyone in the evening."

"Admiral, is this the Atlantic Ocean? I smell the pleasant sea breeze."

"This is the Pacific war zone, not the Atlantic." Li Ran said, and then took the two new ship girls towards the naval base.

"Rodney, you can't be too rude to the master."

"I know, head maid." Rodney stuck out his tongue cutely, then looked at this new world curiously.

The Warship Girls inherited the souls of warships that sank during the war or were dismantled after the war. When they were salvaged or built, except for some memories of the battleship period, they were as curious about the new world as newborn babies. It was only because of the existence of the admiral that they had enough time to adapt. It was because of this characteristic that the KanColle Academy was established. After all, freedom was not rare this year. Without the help of the admiral, the KanColle girls would be very easy to be deceived once they woke up.

Li Ran also knew about this characteristic of the Battleship Girls, so he introduced it to Rodney and Reputation:

"The construction of the port area has just started, so many places are not yet completed. This road was built with the help of the fairies."

"Master, I will do my best to help you in the future."

"I will also do my best to help the Admiral!"

Li Ran nodded, and then told them about what he had seen and heard during the past few days. After all, they were his own ship girls, and when he returned to the garrison, it was already dark.

"I'm sorry I'm back late." Li Ran walked in and felt too hot after wearing the admiral's uniform all day. He smiled apologetically and said:

"I'll go upstairs to change my clothes. Please help me entertain them."

"I know, Master."

Reputation nodded. Seeing that Linran entrusted her with such an important matter so quickly, her soul as the head maid burned.

Bismarck was stunned for a moment. She looked at Shengyu and Li Ran coming over and asked Lexington:

"The Admiral has built a new one?"

"Well, it looks like you're in trouble this time."

"Trouble?" Bismarck followed Lexington's gaze and looked at the golden-haired figure behind Li Ran. The corners of her mouth slightly raised:

"Rodney?"

As if she felt Bismarck's gaze, Rodney poked her head out from behind Li Ran and looked at Bismarck's uniform and the black Iron Cross medal. A complex expression flashed across her face.

Everyone present noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little strange. Li Ran frowned, then looked at Rodney and Bismarck looking at each other. He secretly held his forehead, having forgotten that Bismarck and Rodney seemed to be rivals in history. He sighed and said in the exclusive channel:

"We are all a family from now on. All those past events are in the past. Let's get along harmoniously in front of our guests."

"Got it, Admiral." Bismarck didn't think much of it. Besides, her relationship with Li Ran had already made some progress. Now she would not make things difficult for Li Ran, so she answered without thinking.

"Admiral, I understand." Rodney also knew that as a ship girl, she shouldn't take those unpleasant memories too seriously, so she replied.

Li Ran nodded, and then went straight upstairs under the surprised gazes of Bai Nuoyan and others.

"Isn't he afraid that his own ship girls will start a fight?" Bai Nuoyan asked Hipper curiously.

"It's okay. Memories of the old times need to be overcome. Isn't that what you told me, Admiral? I think that man said something to Bismarck, and his relationship with Bismarck, plus the attitude of the two new ship girls towards him, Admiral, don't worry about it."

"Okay, but Xixi, do you think you can win over Nuremberg and the others? This man already has so many ship girls, and I don't want them to be deceived."
