It's time to give out the rings, Admiral!

The girls in their own group say that the reason Yamato frequently invades human-occupied waters is simply because their flagship, the Deep Sea Fleet, is short of food and clothing again. Tirpitz, like their own Tirpitz, is an incurable homebody, causing her sister Bismarck endless headaches. Pachina is a land-based base, and except on very rare occasions, she doesn't even bother leading her massive Deep Sea Fleet.

However, although he disagreed, he did agree with some of Senior Zhang's views, which had given him a lot of inspiration, such as...

Volume 1, Chapter 416: Experience

Take Senior Zhang's views on ship girls, for example. As the saying goes, besides showing off the ships, the second greatest pleasure of the admirals' exchanges is discussing their preferences together.

When admirals talk about the strength of ship girls, or which ship girl is the strongest and most powerful in the navy today, they might argue for a year or even fight to the death without reaching a conclusion. But when it comes to discussing their favorite ship girl or certain parts of their favorite ship girls, it's like meeting a kindred spirit, and they all have expressions of having met a long-lost friend.

"Speaking of which, little brother Su, I have to tell you about the beauty of destroyers! A bunch of innocent kids, a bunch of kind and pure little angels. My favorite thing is to lift my destroyer sisters up high. Every time I see their innocent smiles, I feel like I'm ten years younger. It's just a pity that when I first built them, I built my initial ship Colorado. I didn't build Cassin Yang and the others until much later, otherwise I might be an old friend of the military police by now."

Senior Zhang openly revealed some of his personal hobbies to his two juniors without any restraint. Big breasts, big butts, and long legs were one thing, and being a lolicon was a fairly common hobby, nothing unusual. But looking at Senior Zhang's shameless and witty remarks, the boy still envied his thick skin, which was like a city wall, and his ability to talk non-stop without ever getting a dull moment.

Besides that, what impressed the boy most about Senior Zhang was his worldview as a veteran admiral. One port, one admiral, three ship girls. After talking about some topics that made the boy realize the importance of the military police, Senior Zhang suddenly changed the subject. With a sincere expression, he used his body, which was half a head taller than the boy, to press down on the boy's shoulder and said to him with a very weathered look.

"Little Su, it seems we've met on such a small ship, so I'll share a bit of my life experience as a senior. You and I both have more than one ship girl, and you're so young, you'll probably become a very powerful admiral in the future. But I have to tell you something: if you continue to have as many ship girls as you do now, or even more, be careful when you want to marry one of them."

"To ship girls, we are everything to them. Although they usually keep it to themselves out of modesty, their feelings are much more delicate and intense than we imagine. If you really want to marry your ship girls in the future, I suggest you marry all of them at once, without favoritism. Otherwise, wait until you have enough experience to handle the feelings of those ship girls who are not your marriage ships but are still devoted to you. In short, don't follow my example. I've already made a mistake once."

Senior Zhang suddenly became so serious, his solemn yet somewhat imposing expression causing the boy to nod involuntarily and begin to ponder. Later, after asking Li Luo why Senior Zhang would say such things, the boy learned that Senior Zhang had made a similar mistake in his youth, resulting in the loss of a ship girl.

Ship girls are generally tolerant of their admirals' feelings and do not object to their admirals building harems in their own ports. However, not all ship girls are like this. There are a few ship girls who have a strong possessive desire for their admirals and are unwilling to share them with other ship girls.

According to Li Luo, Zhang's previous ship girl was his second ship girl after Colorado. It was because Zhang wanted to give Colorado a ring that she accidentally entered dangerous waters in a fit of pique and was sunk by the deep sea.

After listening to Senior Zhang's story, the young man fell into deep thought. Although he was slow-witted and had low emotional intelligence, he did not want to see similar things happen in his own port. If his girls really liked him, he would give them rings. What kind of admiral would he be if he didn't have a harem? He only felt a little guilty when he saw his wife's reproachful expression.

As long as he doesn't share the rings with them, the only two things he needs to worry about are whether his body can handle it and whether he can afford enough vow rings for each of the girls who are devoted to him.

The boy had his own ideas, and he had learned a lot from his conversation with Senior Zhang and the others. However, quite a while had passed since he told Fei'er and the unicorn that he was going to the toilet. He had even gone the wrong way because he was unfamiliar with the layout of the passenger ship. If he didn't go back soon, they would start to get worried.

After checking the time, the young man decided to say goodbye to Senior Zhang and Li Luo. He scratched the back of his head, preparing to say goodbye to Senior Zhang, who was still talking to Li Luo. But before he could speak, he heard the sweet and soft voices of his two little girls behind him.

"Ah, it's my brother! Sister Xiaofei, I've found my brother!"

The unicorn's soft, sweet voice rang out behind him. The surprised boy turned around and saw the unicorn standing in the passageway leading to the forward deck, holding Yu-chan and looking at her with a charming expression. Behind her, his own ship and daughter, Phil, also looked at him with great joy after hearing the unicorn's words.

After searching for a long time in the cabin, the girls finally found their most important father or brother on the other deck. They ran towards the boy together. Seeing their father's surprised expression, and ignoring the shocked expressions of Li Luo and Senior Zhang, Fei'er and Unicorn skillfully took the boy's hands, one on each side.

"Dad, what are you doing here? Did you get lost again? I just told you if you wanted me to come with you."

The little girl complained, saying that when she went to look for him in the cabin, she couldn't find him and almost thought that her father had gone missing again, which made her anxious. Now that she saw the boy on the deck, she finally felt relieved.

"I'm so sorry, I got lost by accident. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Holding the hands tightly of his girls, the young man felt a little embarrassed. He had no idea that he would suddenly run in the wrong direction. There were no signs in the cabin. However, as he was happily chatting with his girls, Su Yuchen felt as if he had forgotten something.

Volume 1, Chapter 417: Senior!!

A moist sea breeze gently caressed the deck of the passenger ship. On the boundless sea, this was usually the most comfortable time of day. The gentle sea breeze carried a hint of moisture and coolness, neither too dry nor too humid, giving one a very lazy feeling.

The boy felt a sense of relief as he held the girls' soft, cool hands. He had just been worried that they might be concerned about him since he had been gone for so long. But now that they had come to find him, he could relax. However, as he was talking to them, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

"Dad, are these two your friends?"

Just as the boy was pondering why he had this feeling, and scratching his head in confusion, he suddenly heard Fei'er's curious and surprised voice beside him.

Ah! I remember now!

His daughter's clear and gentle voice seemed to remind the young man, who immediately clapped his hands. He realized he had forgotten something; he had forgotten to introduce his daughters, who had come to find him, to the two seniors beside him.

He nodded casually, glancing at his daughter's eyes, which were as clear and bright as a lake. He noticed the surprise and tenderness in her light-colored eyes. As if surprised that her father had made friends in such a short time, the boy introduced the two seniors beside him to the girl.

"Oh, these two are seniors I just met. They are both admirals, just like me. The older one is called Zhang Rui, a very experienced veteran admiral, while the younger one is called Li Luo. He is still a trainee admiral, just like me, but he has already graduated and is currently interning at Senior Zhang's naval base."

The boy pointed to the two seniors standing behind him and introduced them to Fei'er and the unicorn. He then turned around to introduce his girls to the two seniors who hadn't spoken since the beginning. However, when he turned around, he noticed that Senior Zhang and Senior Li Luo had slightly strange expressions.

Zhang Rui stared at the two beautiful girls behind the boy, each with a different style but equally well-behaved and adorable. He realized that the situation seemed to be getting out of his control. He knew that this European junior, who had just entered the academy, had two ship girls, but in his memory, his junior's two ship girls should be a girl with long golden hair and a girl with darker purple hair, not the two girls in front of him with cute flaxen hair and light purple hair, holding a unicorn doll and looking a little shy.

After a moment's thought, he felt a pang of panic. If he hadn't misjudged yesterday, this seemingly harmless junior should actually be some damn lucky guy with four ship girls! No! Impossible! How could a freshman who just enrolled suddenly have four ship girls?! He must have misjudged yesterday! Or maybe he's having a nightmare! A nightmare of being scorched to death by a freshman!

No, wait! Let's see what Su Xiaodi is going to say. If I'm not mistaken, my memory must be faulty.

"Senior, are you alright? You don't look too good."

"I'm fine, cough cough. By the way, aren't you going to introduce your two daughters?"

Zhang Rui waved his hand, indicating that he had no problem. He nodded at the somewhat bewildered boy, and then he heard him begin to introduce his two ship girls to him and Li Luo.

"This is Phelps, my wedding ship, a four-star American destroyer. And this is my sister, Unicorn, a four-star British light carrier. She's a little shy, so please don't scare her."

Before the boy could finish speaking, the weathered face of Senior Zhang in front of him had already darkened.

Damn it! What kind of monster newbie is this in front of me?! She's only been an admiral for a short time and already has two four-star ship girls! One of them is a four-star light carrier! And, Phelps! No wonder I always had this weird feeling about this little girl with the flaxen hair! She's actually Phelps! A member of the Levi family!

Just two days ago, I was laughing at Lian Hao for posting pictures of people he didn't know how to do. I never expected that just two or three days later, this same thing would happen to me again!

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui suddenly felt his breathing become rapid. He clutched his chest, panting heavily, his face turning red. If it weren't for the fact that Colorado often took him out to exercise and gave him a healthy body, he felt like he almost couldn't catch his breath!

"Two...two four-star ship girls...Little Su, you really are a hidden talent. With this level of skill, you'll probably be able to walk around the Governor's Mansion with your head held high after you graduate...By the way, Little Su, what about the two girls who were with you yesterday? Didn't I see a golden-haired ship girl with you yesterday?"

Senior Zhang patted his chest to catch his breath. As a seasoned veteran with a wealth of life experience, he admitted that he was indeed surprised by a newbie today, but it wasn't nearly enough to warrant him showing off! Two four-star female ships? He had those too! Four-star battleships, no less! As for light carriers, unless they were regular carriers, they couldn't possibly be compared to him!

Once he calmed down, he asked the boy if he had really been sleepwalking yesterday, to the point that he could even forget what the two ship girls from Su Xiaodi's family looked like. But as soon as he finished speaking, as if he had discovered something, Phelps suddenly picked up on his words.

"Huh? Do you know Sister Jiajia? Yesterday, Sister Jiajia and Marani were on the ship with Dad... the Admiral, in place of me and Unicorn."

Wait a minute! Gaga-neechan! The only ship girl called Gaga is... plus that blonde hair! Could it be...?

"Sister Jiajia? Could it be... little sister, you mean..."

"Yes, that's right, it's Saratoga..."

Senior Zhang clutched his chest. He suddenly felt that the wind was so noisy today that he could hardly stand. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and leaned back in one smooth motion. He then heard the sounds of Li Luo and Su Xiaodi beside him, as if they had been startled.

"senior!!!"

Volume 1, Chapter 418: He Slipped Away

"Senior, senior, how is Senior Zhang? Is he alright?"

Holding the hands of his two daughters, the somewhat worried young man stood at the door of the infirmary on the passenger ship and asked Li Luo, who had just come out of the cabin, a question.

Li Luo raised his head and heard the boy's slightly worried words. He nodded to the guy standing beside him, a guy whose presence stirred up mixed feelings in him. Ever since half an hour earlier, when poor Senior Zhang had been sunburned to the ground by the seal and collapsed, unable to get up, and Li Luo and the boy had frantically carried the purple-faced Senior Zhang, clutching his chest, to the ship's medical room, Li Luo had been feeling rather strange.

To be honest, as a trainee who had not yet officially entered the world of the Admiral, he had no idea that the world of the Admiral was so cruel! In the Naval Academy where he had studied before, although there was also a group of lucky people who were the envy of others, as newcomers, even if there was a difference between the lucky and unlucky, there could not be such a big gap between them.

Seeing how Senior Zhang, who had initially dazzled him with a four-star Colorado, was now being thoroughly outshone by a junior admiral who had become an admiral even less experienced than himself, using four ship girls, he suddenly began to worry about his life after he actually became an admiral.

"It's nothing, Senior Zhang was just a little too excited. The doctor just said that he just needs to rest for a while."

Li Luo shrugged. Although he felt a mix of enviousness and reluctance as he watched the two beautiful girls clinging to him with affection and trust, he didn't react like Senior Zhang, who was still screaming excitedly after being taken to the infirmary.

"Li Luo! Li Luo! Come back quickly!! Hell is ahead!! That brat is a devil with four ship girls and an aircraft carrier! Don't let him bewitch you!! We're on the same side!!"

"My spear!! Where is my poison spear!! I'm going to fight that stinking seal to the death!!"

Ignoring Senior Zhang, who was still wailing behind him, Li Luo bowed slightly and apologized to the young man. What was originally a very pleasant conversation had suddenly turned into this situation, and it seemed to be entirely Senior Zhang's fault.

As an admiral, since he has the ability to show off his ships to me and Su Xiaodi, he should also be prepared to be shown off in return. Although Senior Zhang is far more experienced than me as an admiral, he seems to lack a bit in terms of temperament.

"I'm sorry, Brother Su, Senior Zhang has caused you trouble. Leave the rest to me."

After speaking with the boy, Li Luo walked back into the infirmary, where Senior Zhang's ghostly screams still echoed behind him. The boy looked at his back and touched his forehead with a headache. He hadn't originally planned to get a tan from Senior Zhang, but who could have imagined that he would still end up with Senior Zhang's face covered in tanning heat when he turned around?

However, this cannot be blamed on him. If it weren't for Senior Zhang insisting on asking Fei'er who the girl he saw on the deck yesterday was, he would have planned to keep it a secret from him and act as a complete newbie in front of him until it was exposed.

"Dad, have I caused you any trouble?"

The boy rubbed his forehead, but in his daze, a slightly apologetic and melodious voice, like the song of a lark, drifted from the slightly pursed lips of the girl beside him and reached his ears.

He slowly turned his head and found that beside him, a beautiful girl with flaxen hair was looking anxiously at her beloved father's face. Her light-colored ponytail swayed gently in the air, and her clear, bright eyes, like sapphires, shimmered slightly in the sunlight. He couldn't help but reach out and gently rubbed her soft forehead.

"No, Senior Zhang's current state is entirely his own fault, not ours. If anyone is to blame, it's Senior Zhang's poor resilience."

The boy smiled and shook his head at the girl. Even though he was the culprit who caused Senior Zhang to become like this, he didn't think that he and his girls had done anything wrong.

Showing off your boat is a two-way street. When you show off someone else's boat, someone else will show off theirs back someday. Unless Senior Zhang can have hundreds of girls like me, and even if he was wrong, his only mistake was not telling Fei'er not to talk about Jiajia and the others.

"Okay, since you've said we don't need to worry about it anymore, let's go back. It's getting late, and I'm getting a little hungry."

The girl looked up at the sky. She was a little unhappy that she had caused her father trouble, but as soon as she heard her father say that he was hungry, the little girl was hooked and completely forgot about what had just happened. Thinking about what delicious food she should make for her father, she happily asked him while holding his hand.

"Is Dad hungry? Let's go back and prepare lunch. What would you like for lunch, Dad?"

The girl immediately became excited, her small chest tightly hugging the boy's arm. Even through several layers of clothing, the boy could still feel the softness beneath the fabric, a softness that, though not visible, was actually quite substantial. He had originally planned to take Fei'er and the unicorn to a restaurant for lunch since she was on her period, but seeing how excited she was, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"I... I'm fine with anything. I'd love to eat anything Phil makes. What about the unicorn? Is there anything the unicorn particularly wants to eat?"

"Hmm? No, the things my brother likes to eat, unicorns like to eat too."

The boy squinted comfortably as the sea breeze blew in from the ship's side. Since neither of her two customers had any special requests, Fei'er had to figure out a way herself. Thinking about how the ingredients she brought from the garrison could be used by her father to make that delicious meal, she reluctantly let go of the boy's arm.

"In that case, I'll go back and prepare lunch first. If Dad is bored, he can play with the unicorn on the deck for a while longer."

"No need, I'll go back to the cabin with the unicorn and wait. Too much sea breeze will make me uncomfortable."

"Hehe, okay! Let's go back together then, Dad."

The passenger ship continued its southward journey, with waves crashing against its hull and causing the deck beneath their feet to sway gently. The girl once again clung to the boy's arm, a faint joy in her eyes, and together with the boy and the unicorn sister, they slowly made their way to the cabin.

Volume 1, Chapter 419: The Brother's Intentions

There were very few travelers on the passenger ship as idle as the young man. By the time the young man and his girls returned to their cabin, most of the passengers who were still on the deck had either gone to the ship's restaurant for a meal or returned to their rooms and were busy with something.

As soon as she returned to her cabin, which had been tidied up in Lexington and now felt somewhat like a place to stay, Phelps eagerly parted ways with her beloved father and rushed to the galley that the captain had lent them to prepare a sumptuous lunch for her father and unicorn sister.

Only the unicorn and the boy remained in the comfortable cabin. The passenger ship was swaying and rocking, and he had no idea where it was. He wondered if his younger sister was getting impatient waiting for him, and what his wife and Rusty were doing on the distant sea. Feeling bored, the boy sat down on the sheets that still smelled of Jiajia's fragrance and relaxed.

The unicorn sat on the sofa, reading a book while keeping his bored older brother company with some casual conversation. When the older brother came to his senses, he was already lying lazily on the bed.

Thinking about her current state, and recalling how she had been so careful every day to establish a good image as an admiral in their eyes when she had just created Glorious and Unicorn many days ago, she realized that since meeting her quirky sister-in-law, she had become like Jiajia, completely losing her composure. Amazed by her own strong ability to adapt, Su Yuchen propped herself up and looked at Unicorn, who was quietly reading a book beside her.

"Unicorn, how was your first time going out to sea with Glorious and the others for escort duty? Did you encounter any problems? Are you getting used to the equipment we gave you?"

Unicorn is a very studious child. Even though she had just returned from the deck, she had already picked up the air combat guide she borrowed from Mentor Langley and started studying it.

The light streaming through the porthole fell on the girl's pale purple, pure and beautiful hair, leaving a small halo. The lovely girl slowly raised her head and looked at her brother, who said he wanted to strive for excellence, but in reality, he didn't work as hard as she did.

"Yes, Unicorn and Radiant Sister's escort mission went very smoothly yesterday. When they encountered a lone Deepsea, they were able to sink her quickly. Unicorn also really likes the equipment Brother gave her. The Fireflies are really amazing. With them, Unicorn can also help Brother and Radiant Sister. So thank you, Brother!"

The girl gazed at her brother's face; his delicate, bright pink skin possessed a captivating allure. She buried her chin behind Yu-chan because she had said something that made her a little shy. Her gentle and pitiful appearance instantly woke up the boy who had been feeling sleepy.

"Really? Then Unicorn, you'd better work hard! If Unicorn wants to, I'll definitely become an elegant and mature adult like Radiant Sister and Lexington Sister."

The boy couldn't help but chuckle. It was quite nice to receive such a sweet little girl's thanks, but when he thought about how the fireflies he had given her were all five-star equipment, they were actually byproducts from his B25 farming, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to accept the girl's sincere gratitude.

Thinking that once they returned to the port, they would replace all the Unicorn's fireflies with stronger wyverns, and learn more about the general situation of yesterday's escort from the Unicorn. Still not knowing what to do, the person lay back on the bed sheet behind them like a lazy bum.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could hear the sound of waves crashing against the ship through the porthole. He could smell the refreshing fragrance on the sheets. While twisting his neck, he idly discovered the small bottle that Lexington had left on his bedside table in his bedroom.

Even without makeup, the naturally beautiful ship girls are still stunning, and Lexington, who can be considered one of the best among ship girls in terms of looks and temperament, is no exception.

Except for special occasions or when her husband wanted to see her, the boy had almost never seen Lexington spend a lot of time every morning tinkering with her various cosmetics that would amaze men, like ordinary girls.

The bottle looked like a high-end cosmetic, but Lexington was confident in her appearance, so from the beginning, she didn't bring any cosmetics that she considered unnecessary.

But as a wife who devotes all her energy to her husband, she is thoughtful and will not miss any props that can add a little fun to her and her husband's nightlife. So before uploading, she specially brought a small bottle of nail polish for this long trip.

The delicate bottle reflected the gentle sunlight in the room. The young man, whose mouth suddenly felt dry, was reminded of the beautiful and noble lady from the night before last. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and immediately sat up.

Under the curious gaze of the little girl beside her, her older brother, with a strange smile on his face, came over with the small bottle and sat down next to her. The curious girl wanted to ask a question, but before she could speak, her brother had already explained his purpose to her.

"Unicorn, how about trying Lexington nail polish? The unicorn wants to look more mature, right? Applying this might make the unicorn look different."
