………………

The shouts from the ship girls never stopped. No matter if it was useful or not, if I just lay on the ground and did nothing, I would definitely regret it.

But even though they called out to him so affectionately, unfortunately no one's voice could reach his ears.

All he could see in front of him was the endless dark sea, and he began to sprint faster.

""""""commander!!!""""""

At the call of the ship girls, he did not stop at all, and ran quickly, getting closer and closer to the coastline, and was only two meters away from it.

But at this moment...

Wang Lele's body seemed to have reached a certain limit. His feet suddenly lost power, causing his entire body to fall on the beach, and he seemed unable to stand up again.

Not only that, he seemed to have no strength to support his body. Even so, his eyes were still looking at the coastline that was within reach. He stretched out his hand with difficulty, as if trying to touch the sea.

Unfortunately, in the end, there was just a half-meter difference, and this half-meter became a gap that he could not cross.

“That’s it… huh…?”

This was the first time that Wang Lele, who had transformed into a young boy, spoke, but this time his words were filled with reluctance. He was just a little bit short, but unfortunately he stopped there.

His own existence seemed to have reached its limit. His empty eyes that were looking toward the sea gradually closed, and his hands that were reaching toward the sea also fell limply.

His body began to change, the boy's posture was slowly shrinking, gradually turning back into the familiar Xiao Lele posture.

The ship girls were all stunned, no one knew what was going on, but this result was undoubtedly the ending they most wanted to see.

Yixian, who had barely recovered some strength, staggered to Xiao Lele's side. Looking at the child sleeping peacefully, she couldn't help but hold the child in her arms.

Only at this moment did she truly feel that everything was over, or rather, a sense of relief that had been lost and regained.

“That’s great… That’s great… It’s really great…”

Even the strong Yixian couldn't help but shed hot tears after surviving such a disaster, because at that moment she really thought she was going to lose her child.

The ship girls around who gradually had enough strength to stand up began to struggle to get up and moved towards where Xiao Lele was. Although the battle was over, they lost, and lost completely.

“Wow, I was so scared that I almost thought it was our turn to save the situation. After all, once the Singularity is fully awakened, we will have no choice but to call on the Arbitration Authority to save the situation.”

Different from the warmth on the coastline, the Siren ship girls outside the coastline are in a highly tense state of combat readiness.

Almost... They were about to open fire and mobilize a large number of Siren fleets. Seeing Wang Lele's deteriorating condition, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The one with the most exaggerated performance is undoubtedly the Purifier. After all, the muzzles of her shark carrier have already entered the preheating state. And listening to what she said, sometimes it is really hard to understand what the Siren's position is. It seems that she is on Jiannian's side.

The observer who was also relieved did not show it. He just glanced at the situation on the coastline and then turned and left: "Don't say such unlucky words here. Let's go back. I don't want to be discovered by those ship girls."

"Eh? Don't you want to watch it a little longer? It's not a sight you can always see those stubborn ship girls crying."

The Purifier with a bad taste was recording with a high-definition device and was puzzled by the observer's sudden departure.

"boring."

Leaving this sentence, the observer disappeared.

"Really? But never mind. After this good "venting" session, the "singularity" will not awaken in the short term. This is cause for celebration, this is cause for celebration."

The Purifier seemed to be performing a monologue, talking to himself all the time.

In addition, Zero, who was hiding deep in the network, saw everything through a nearby camera and seemed to be recording the data.

The mysteries seem to be getting more...

Chapter 411 The naive Miao Le knows nothing

KanColle is an incredible existence. Even if they are hit by direct artillery fire, they can recover after a period of rest. Not to mention that after being hit by punches and kicks, they can recover to the most part in just a moment.

After a night full of unreality and magic, a new day arrived in the Alaska port area.

The logistics cuties were busy that day because a lot of buildings were damaged during the battle from the Donghuang camp base to the coastline last night. Manju and the command cats had been starting repair work since the battle ended last night.

But none of this matters. What matters is that the protagonist who caused all this is now back at the Donghuang base and is soundly sleeping.

However, the child did not sleep in his own cat box. Instead, he slept in the hall where everyone could see him. The hall was full of ship girls. Everyone had their faces and bodies bandaged to varying degrees. They seemed to be really afraid that Xiao Lele would disappear inexplicably in the cat box again, so they were keeping an eye on him here with a unanimous consensus.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Xiao Lele, who had been in a deep sleep, finally moved.

First, the cat's ears twitched, and then there were signs of waking up. Such signs attracted the attention of all the ship girls present. No one said a word but they all gathered around.

“Meow~~~~”

After waking up, Xiao Lele arched his body like a cat as usual to fully stretch it.

It seems that there is no difference from usual, except that the prerequisite is to be able to ignore the injuries on those ship girls.

“Meow? …Meow!!!”

Little Lele, who was rubbing his eyes, seemed to realize one thing, that is, he did not seem to wake up in the cat box. Then he noticed that he was surrounded by a large group of ship girls from all angles, and the child was so scared that he jumped on the spot.

"That's right! That's the reaction! It's really Xiao Lele!"

"That's great! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Wuwuwuwuwu, it's the commander we know!"

"Wow! I was so scared! I thought the Commander was going to die!"

"Damn it! Little guy, we still have a debt to settle!"

………………

The reaction they had confirmed was indeed the reaction they were familiar with. They suddenly burst into venting the emotions they had suppressed for so long. They were either laughing, crying, getting angry, or making exaggerated movements. In short, they were all a variety of new reactions, which left Xiao Lele with a head full of question marks.

Little Lele, who had no idea what these big sisters were up to, looked at their very interesting reactions and couldn't help asking, "Everyone looks so weird, meow. What Halloween activities are there today, meow?"

That’s right, almost every one of the ship girls now has bandages of varying degrees, and it does look a bit like Halloween.

But they all knew that all their injuries were caused by the cute child in front of them. It was hard to imagine that besides the Sirens, there were other beings that caused real damage to the ship girls' bodies.

Hearing the child's innocent question, the ship girls who were venting their emotions couldn't help but pause and look at each other, as if they didn't expect the child to ask this. This reaction was as if... she had no idea what she had done last night.

Faced with such a naive question, the ship girls all looked at a loss. They did not expect that the child had no memory at all. Even if it was the worst, he should have some memory.

So Nagato asked cautiously, "Commander, do you remember what happened last night?"

Xiao Lele was stunned for a moment, and after thinking very seriously, he scratched his head and replied: "I was too tired yesterday, meow, I was sleeping the whole time, what's wrong? Why are you asking me like that?"

Upon hearing this answer, the ship girls couldn't help but look at each other again. Now they could be completely sure of one thing, that is, this child had no memory of completing the task.

Originally, they wanted to learn more about the abnormal situation last night, but now it seems that their investigation intentions have been crushed from the beginning. Even if they ask a child who knows nothing, the investigation will only go at a standstill.

Jeanbart was obviously unwilling to give up. She stretched out her hands to push aside her colleagues, came to Xiao Lele and lifted him up to face him: "Think carefully again, have you forgotten anything?"

It's no wonder that she is so persistent. After all, she suffered a severe series of blows yesterday. Even she, who was a battleship, was lying on the ground in pain. So if this matter is not clarified, it will be difficult for her to swallow this anger.

Facing her aggressive questioning, Xiao Lele seemed to have a big question mark on his head: "Even if you ask me like this, I really don't know anything. Did I do something while I was asleep last night?"

"How dare you ask! Last night you were... umm?!"

Just as Jean Bart was about to tell about Xiao Lele's "feat" last night, his mouth was covered.

It was Richelieu who covered her mouth, and he covered his sister's mouth tightly to prevent her from speaking any more. He said in defense, "Sir, please don't mind it. In fact, it should be Jean Bart who is still asleep. Last night, she kept talking in her sleep about you stealing her lollipop."

"I didn't expect that Jean Bal would also be unable to wake up. But if you are too tired, you should go back and take a nap. I will approve your leave."

Xiao Lele naturally took it seriously. After teasing Bal a little, he took out a leave application form and approved it for her on the spot. Although if the ship girl wanted to take leave, she didn't need to go through the commander, but the diligent Xiao Lele still approved the leave personally.

“Ngh! Ngh! Ngh!!”

But Jeanbal was so excited that he wanted to protest loudly, but his mouth was covered tightly and he kept making meaningless sounds.

Besides, it was not only Richelieu who covered her mouth. Her colleagues from the Free Iris and Vichy Church, such as Algeria, Joan of Arc, Joffre, Gascoigne, and Dunkirk, all came forward and either covered her mouth or held her hands and feet, making it impossible for her to struggle and break free from the grip of these all-nighters.

It was obvious that no one wanted Barr to tell the child what really happened last night.

In order to avoid any more strange problems, the Vichy Church and Free Iris decided to lift up the struggling Jean Bart, and took over Xiao Lele's leave application and stepped back. The whole process was full of humor.

"I always feel like everyone is a little weird, nyan."

Little Lele looked at the older sisters around him. After all, they were all dressed up strangely. "It's still a long time before Halloween, why are they all dressed up as mummies?"

"We are preparing for Halloween, aren't we? Doesn't it look like a mummy?"

As a result, everyone followed the child's words and treated it as a warm-up for the Halloween activities.

Chapter 412: The Serious and Nonsense Ship Girls

It seems that everyone has reached a consensus. Since the child has no memory at all, it is better not to let the child know for the time being. Based on everyone's understanding of the child, if he knew that he was really injured and was injured by himself, the child would definitely be autistic and feel guilty for a long time.

Looking at the friendly faces of these older sisters, Xiao Lele always felt that something was wrong, so she frowned cutely: "Meow... I always feel that something is wrong."

This child...how come he becomes so perceptive in some strange areas?

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be easy to get away with it? Given the child's naivety, as long as they come up with some excuses that aren't too outrageous and everyone makes up their own story, they can get away with it easily.

But this time, I don’t know if it was because the reason was too outrageous or their performance was too blatant, but the kid didn’t get away with it as usual. Instead, he questioned them. Was it really because they acted so badly?

Xiao Lele's suspicion made the older sisters feel guilty for a moment. Helplessly, Akagi could only reach out and pat Ron on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Commander, you are really joking. We are just rehearsing. Commander, you don't really think we are injured, right?"

"pain?!"

Ron, who was hit unexpectedly, couldn't help but cry out in pain. After all, the frenzy of her fight last night was no less than that of the fight with Siren. Although he was beaten worse than Frederick in the end, it was a miracle that he could stand up today.

"Pain, meow?"

Sure enough, the subconscious cry of pain made the child show a wise expression, just like a big-headed elementary school detective who said "I saw the truth".

Realizing that she might be exposed, four or five hands immediately reached behind her or on her buttocks, twisting her soft flesh 360 degrees, as if reminding her to be "dedicated".

While enduring the pain, he also had to endure their unnecessary "reminders". However, due to his many years of experience of being beaten by Frederick, his face might have been a little stiff, but Ron still put on a smile like a big sister next door in front of the child: "What's the matter? Are you scared, little Lele? Did I act well just now? Just like the red fox from Sakura Empire said, we are all rehearsing for the future Halloween. It will be very lively then, little Lele, just look forward to it."

I can only say that she is worthy of being called her, she is very good at coaxing children. Didn’t you see that little Lele has been coaxed?

Little Lele was attracted by the activity preview she mentioned: "What activity is it?"

Ron reached out and touched his cat's lips: "This must be kept secret. Xiao Lele will know on Halloween. It would be meaningless if we tell it now."

It sounded very plausible, but only she knew that there was no such thing as Halloween activities. However, since they used it as an excuse this time, she might have to prepare something on Halloween. Otherwise, how could she cover up her lie today, especially since the child was looking at her with a disappointed expression... She might as well just sink herself.

“That’s right, meow. Just like making a wish, it won’t work if you just say it out loud. So I’ll just look forward to this year’s Halloween, meow.”

Finally, they were fooled. Little Lele agreed with a smile on her face. No matter what, at least they got away with it. The older sisters all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well done! Ron, you are indeed the most resistant ship in our Iron Blood!"

Seeing that Xiao Lele had finally gotten away with it, Bismarck gave her a look of approval, even though he had also pinched her buttocks just now.

"I've already gotten away with it. You guys can handle the Halloween stuff on your own. And I've written down the little tricks just now. You guys should remember them all!"

Although Ron still maintained a friendly smile, the look in his eyes when he looked at them seemed to want to kill them all.

But no one cared. After all, Ron's shark intention was just a trivial matter.

"Then I won't disturb your rehearsal. I should probably go to work soon."

""""""no!!!""""""

Just when Xiao Lele stood up and wanted to earn extra money as usual, she was met with unanimous opposition from all the ship girls.

"Meow?!"

Little Lele, who was not mentally prepared, was frightened by them.

As if realizing that his reaction was too big, Enterprise awkwardly explained, "Actually, it's like this, Commander. You've been working too hard these days. Yesterday, you looked so tired that you didn't look very well. We were really worried. Why don't you take this time to have a good rest?"

There was nothing wrong with what they said. They didn't know whether the abnormal condition yesterday was related to the child's usual fatigue, but they were now in the mindset of not letting go of the wrong person.

In order to avoid a situation like last night from happening again, any possibility must be eliminated. If it happens again, even they, the ship girls, will not have the confidence to stop the young Wang Lele, who is simply a stronger existence than the ship girls.

From today... No, it should be from the moment the "miracle" ended last night, they must absolutely prevent any possibility of this happening. Last night, Xiao Lele was just a little bit away from successfully reaching the ocean, and at that moment he might have really disappeared. They don't want this child to disappear, and they don't want to be abandoned by him.

It's a pity that Xiao Lele, who had no memory of last night, had no idea that these ship girls had experienced a disaster. Instead, she showed a confused look: "But... if you don't work, you won't get paid."

As a child who has grown up under the Red Flag education for five years, the spirit of "labor is the most glorious" is almost engraved in the child's daily behavioral norms.

Belfast, whose left half was almost covered in bandages, stood up and said, "My dear master, there is one thing I have never had the chance to tell you. That is, each of us shipgirls is actually very rich. Take Saint Louis of the White Eagle as an example. She often uses her "change" to buy many sports cars worth tens of millions. The income of our shipgirls is not comparable to that of ordinary humans. So my dear master, you don't have to work so hard to make money to support us. Instead, we should support you."

"Hmm? Is that so, nya?"

The child looked skeptical and didn't seem to believe it, just like most of the ship girls didn't believe that this child was actually the richest one.

To increase the persuasiveness, Newcastle took the initiative to stand up, but his right hand was fixed with a bandage: "My young master, it is no exaggeration to say that every ship girl present, even the one with the smallest deposit, has enough money to support ordinary people for a lifetime, so everyone's wealth is definitely far beyond my imagination."
