"Admiral, hurry up and agree! Aren't you tempted by so many resources?"
"We have plenty of resources, but Iowa... our fleet isn't even fully assembled yet! Even with Kazuya, it's only half complete!"
"Admiral, you haven't forgotten that the Governor-General mentioned destroyers, have you? You're not confident you can get her into the fleet?"
"That's hard to say! Even if that destroyer joins us, we only have four people left, we're still short three!"
"My admiral, have you forgotten about construction machines? We have plenty of resources now. Even if you built a few more Yamatos, we would accept it, not to mention that there are even more resources waiting for us after we win!"
"I'm so stupid! Thanks, Iowa."
"Governor, we've decided to participate in that so-called annual admiral competition," Mikami Hiroyu said confidently to Nagata Nobunaga.
"But your fleet doesn't seem to be complete yet, is that alright?" The roles have reversed, and Nagata Nobunaga is now asking Mikami Hiroyu why he can't participate.
"Don't worry about that, Governor. I will definitely be able to assemble my fleet before the competition begins," said Mikami Hiroyu confidently.
"is it?"
"Requesting flowers," "Requesting tips," "Requesting favorites," or "Requesting monthly votes."
Chapter Eighty-Eight Captain
Afterwards, Yu Shen Haoyu inquired with the governor about the specific time and location of the Admiral's Performance Competition. Since Yu Shen Haoyu's credentials were still being upgraded, they were not currently in his possession. Otherwise, given Iowa's enthusiasm for resources, he would have immediately registered.
But judging by the time, it should be done by now! Sure enough, Honda Shuya, who helped Mikami Hiroyu with the documents, appeared in Mikami Hiroyu's field of vision.
Honda Shuya looked around, as if searching for something. Then he spotted Nagata Nobunaga and Mikami Hiroyu's group, and came over with Mikami Hiroyu's identification.
"I'm sorry, Marshal, it took so long to get this done!" Honda Shuya respectfully handed Mikami Hiroyu's identification and resource card to Nagata Nobunaga.
"It's alright, you can go now!" Nagata Nobunaga waved his hand and said.
"Yes"
After Honda Shuya left, Nagata Nobunaga handed Mikami Hiroyu's identification and resource card. He said very seriously, "Congratulations, Admiral Hiroyuki. You're now a captain, probably the youngest admiral and the youngest captain in the world. I hope you remember your mission and fight for the safety of humanity."
"Yes, Marshal, I will remember your words and fight for the safety of humanity," Yu Shenhao replied solemnly with a salute.
After Mikami Hiroyu received his newly promoted captain's certificate and resource card with both hands, he checked the resources on the resource card while Nagata Nobunaga wasn't paying attention, and then quietly put the resource card away.
By the way, resource cards, as the name suggests, are cards for storing resources. After all, you can't carry tens of thousands of resources around everywhere, so these resource cards were invented.
Just as Mikami Hiroyu put the resource card away, Iowa's voice came through the soul network.
"Admiral, how much?"
Although it was Iowa who was speaking, Mikami Hiroyu also sensed that Yamato and Taihou's soul networks were online, indicating that they were also concerned about how many resources they had.
5W
"We're rich now! We can finally eat without worry!" Just as Yu Shen Haoyu finished speaking, Iowa's cheering voice rang out. Even Yamato and Taihou's soul networks were happy; after all, 5 resources weren't just 5—it would be gone in a few meals.
"If we win that admiral competition, wouldn't we have at least 25 resources? We'd be rich!"
When Mikami Hiroyu and his ship girls learned that so many resources were right in front of them, they probably would have jumped for joy if they weren't concerned about their image! Although they haven't reached that point yet, anyone could tell at a glance that they were very happy, and extremely happy at that.
The joy of Mikami Hiroyu and his ship girls quickly reached the governor who was walking ahead.
"What's making you so happy?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect to be promoted to captain so quickly." Of course, Yu Shenhao couldn't say that he was happy about those tens of thousands of resources, it would be too embarrassing to say it out loud!
Nagata Nobunaga believed Mikami Hiroyu's words and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be happy about this? I guess your story will soon reach the ears of all the world's admirals!"
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Mikami Hiroyu had anticipated that once he was promoted to captain, people would know that he had risen from lieutenant to captain in just one week. But did all the admirals in the world really know what that meant? Was information technology that advanced these days?
Iowa seemed to know something and explained to Mikami Hiroyu, "Admiral, you forgot about the phone. Speaking of Admiral, the news that you were promoted from lieutenant to captain in just one week is too explosive. It's not surprising that you had such an effect."
"Is that right?"
The other two, besides Yamato and Taihou, nodded.
After the news spread that Mikami Hiroyu had been promoted from lieutenant to captain in just one week, some people were surprised by his rapid rise, while others envied him for managing to recruit Iowa and even have Taihou. Some were polishing the spears they had used for hunting in Africa, intending to show Mikami Hiroyu the power of the Africans.
However, there were also a few others who were frightened upon hearing the news that Mikami Hiroyu had been promoted from lieutenant to captain in just one week. These were the people from the Naval Admiral School who assigned Mikami Hiroyu his position, especially the captain who assigned him the starting ship girl.
Just when he thought he would never hear the name Mikami Hiroyu again, news suddenly came that Mikami Hiroyu had been promoted from lieutenant to captain in just one week. Suddenly, someone he considered cannon fodder was now in the same rank as him, and that former cannon fodder now possessed the battleship Iowa, a ship coveted by countless admirals, and the armored carrier Taihou. Even this captain himself, when he was still an admiral, had wanted the battleship Iowa to join his fleet.
One was a powerless teaching captain, the other a rising captain commanding the battleship Iowa and the armored carrier Taihou. Both were captains, but there was no comparison. With the battleship Iowa and the armored carrier Taihou, it would be easy for Mikami Hiroyu to rise to the rank of lieutenant commander. Even if Mikami Hiroyu didn't intend to settle scores with him then, he would still be trampled underfoot by those who wanted to climb the ranks.
After a night of agonizing thought, the captain made a decision. Since he couldn't resist, the only option was to hide before Yushin Hiroyu truly matured, in a place where no one knew him, thus eliminating any future crisis before it even began.
The next day, the captain disappeared without even writing a resignation letter. The school quickly discovered his disappearance because they had also heard that an orphan, whom the school had been using as cannon fodder, had been promoted from lieutenant to captain in just one week. And this orphan was an admiral with the battleship Iowa and the armored carrier Taiho. Crucially, this orphan's captain's credentials were personally issued by the governor of the naval base.
This is rather intriguing. To prevent the governor of the naval base from causing trouble for the school, the school's leadership held an emergency meeting and decided to shift the blame onto the captain who assigned the starting ship girl to Yushin Hiroyu—a win-win situation. However, the captain failed to attend several meetings. Upon checking the captain's dormitory, they found the room ransacked, with valuables and important items missing. A review of the security footage revealed the captain carrying large bags of luggage as he left the school.

Chapter 89 Kanae Yanagisawa
The school didn't chase after the captain after they discovered he had left. In fact, they were more pleased with his escape. Let him take all the blame! After all, he had already run away, hadn't he?
The school held another meeting, and this one was rather comical. The previous meeting was about how to clear their names of their mistakes, but now they were discussing whether to send the admiral, who had been promoted from lieutenant to captain—and who, moreover, was the admiral who owned the battleship Iowa and the armored aircraft carrier Taiho—to give a speech at the school.
The school hoped to regain the trust it had lost over the years through Yu Shenhao's speech, but the meeting ultimately failed to pass the resolution. Some higher-ups were unwilling to lose face by having someone they considered a scapegoat slap them in the face, while others chose to maintain the status quo. However, when discussing whether to reward Yu Shenhao with resources, it surprisingly went unanimously, with no one objecting.
The meeting concluded with the decision that, as a reward, the Naval Admiral Academy would award Captain Yuu Mikami 50,000 resources for successfully completing the conquest of areas 1-4 within one week, thus becoming a role model for all students.
Originally, someone suggested adding the starting ship that Yuujin Hiroyu hadn't received as a reward, but this was rejected. After all, Yuujin Hiroyu now has the battleship Iowa and the armored aircraft carrier Taihou. Sending a destroyer would be a slap in the face, regardless of whether they would even want it!
The reward for Yuujin Hiroyu was delivered by his school friend, Yanagi Sawa Kanae. Yanagi Sawa Kanae is one of Yuujin Hiroyu's few friends at school; please remember, she's a friend, not a girlfriend—this is important. Although Yanagi Sawa Kanae has some feelings in that regard, Yuujin Hiroyu appeared in this world out of thin air, and all his relationships were created by Gaia and the others.
Gaia and the others didn't dare to directly arrange for Yushin Hiroyu to have a childhood friend, fiancée, or girlfriend... at all. At most, they wanted the girls who interacted with Yushin Hiroyu to have a slight affection for him—really, just a slight. If it were too much, their younger brother would get angry, and that would be counterproductive. If it was only a slight affection, their younger brother Yushin Hiroyu probably wouldn't be angry!
Kanae Yanazawa seems to be a wealthy young lady. When she was a child, people at the Naval Admiral Academy accidentally discovered that she possessed a soul network. The other side inquired with Kanae Yanazawa and her parents whether it was possible for her to attend the Naval Admiral Academy.
Kanae Yanazawa's parents were initially against it. Sending their beloved daughter to the Naval Admiral Academy meant fighting the deep sea, humanity's greatest enemy. They refused without hesitation, having cherished Kanae since childhood. However, Kanae wanted to join the Naval Admiral Academy. She knew that only those with a Soul Network could become Admirals. Only by becoming an Admiral and possessing her own fleet could she fight the deep sea. Now that she possessed it, she wanted to fight for humanity.
Kanae Yanagisawa repeatedly tried to persuade her parents, but they refused to let her go to the Naval Academy. Finally, with no other option, Kanae Yanagisawa left a letter while her parents were away on a business trip and went to the Naval Academy to enroll.
When Kanae Yanazawa's parents discovered their daughter was missing, they searched the entire city, only to find a letter in Kanae Yanazawa's room.
The letter read: "To Mom and Dad! By the time you read this letter, I will likely be enrolled at the Naval Academy. Please forgive your daughter for leaving so abruptly. Since your daughter has the ability to protect this world, let her go! Your daughter doesn't want to regret it. Sincerely, Yanazawa Kanae."
When Kanae Yanagisawa's parents finished reading the letter, her father stood by the window and sighed: his daughter had grown up and was no longer the delicate young lady she once was. Kanae's mother, holding the letter, began to weep.
Not long after, Kanae Yanagisawa's parents secretly visited the Naval Admiral School and, accompanied by school officials, observed their daughter Kanae Yanagisawa's studies and life.
At school, Kanae Yanazawa exuded a newfound charm and energy, and was happier than ever. However, there was one thing that displeased her father: his daughter was always followed by a large group of boys. This greatly displeased him—extremely so. He was so unhappy that it's worth repeating three times. (Actually, Kanae Yanazawa's father was a complete doting father.) Kanae Yanazawa's parents left without disturbing her, leaving the school a large sum of money.
From then on, Kanae Yanagisawa always felt that the teachers at school were treating her better, and the followers who used to follow her around disappeared. Kanae Yanagisawa didn't pay much attention to it, but it was fine this way, as she would have more time with Hiroyu Mikami.
Kanae Yanagisawa enrolled at the same time as Hiroyu Mikami. It's fair to say that without Hiroyu Mikami, Kanae Yanagisawa might not have been able to attend the Naval Admiral Academy. Many things happened during this time, which I won't go into here, but in short, Kanae Yanagisawa was able to attend school thanks to Hiroyu Mikami's help.
As soon as Yanagi Kaname entered the school, her beautiful face and the aura she exuded attracted many followers. In contrast, Mikami Hiroyu was plain-looking, quiet, and didn't follow the crowd, always traveling alone. Many people forgot about him; only a few interacted with him.
When Kanae Yanagisawa enrolled, she was 12 years old, and Hiroyu Mikami was 9. For some reason, Kanae would spend all her free time looking for Hiroyu. Even though Hiroyu wasn't usually talkative, Kanae was content just standing beside him. Kanae didn't know what was wrong with her; was it gratitude for Hiroyu's past help, or pity for him that made her always stick by his side?
Her friends even told her she was dating Hiroyuki Mikami, though Kanae Yanagisawa blushed and loudly denied it. She didn't see Hiroyuki for two days because of this, but on the third day, she couldn't resist and went to see him again.
After Kanae Yanazawa's father visited, although the large number of followers who had been following her disappeared, several sons of high-ranking school officials appeared around Kanae Yanazawa, causing her and Jia a lot of trouble. Yuujin Hiroyu was already somewhat hated, and now Jia was the one being hated even more.
Three years passed quickly, and Yanagizawa Kanae turned 15, passing all her exams. The school then assigned her to a safe town, while Mikami Hiroyu, implicated in Yanagizawa's situation, was assigned to Maizuru, a place rife with danger.
舰娘
Chapter Ninety poi?
In fact, Mikami Hiroyu's assignment to the Maizuru Naval Base has little to do with Yanagisawa Kanae. Even without Yanagisawa Kanae, Mikami Hiroyu would still have been sent to other dangerous places by Gaia; otherwise, what would be the point of Mikami Hiroyu's existence in this world?
After receiving her assignment to the starting ship, Kanae Yanagisawa didn't rush to take up her post. Instead, she went home for a few days. She wanted to return to school to say goodbye to Hiroyu Mikami. However, she overheard her classmates saying that Hiroyu Mikami had been assigned to lead the Maizuru Naval Base and hadn't even taken the starting ship yet.
Just as Kanae Yanagisawa was about to inquire about this matter with the school, news arrived that Hiroyu Mikami had accomplished something most people couldn't in a lifetime within a single week: rising from lieutenant to captain, skipping three ranks. Even more intriguing was that Mikami had chosen Iowa as his starting ship.
Upon hearing of this disappearance, Kanae Yanagisawa's first reaction was, "Can it really be true?" The usually withdrawn Hiroyu Mikami had suddenly become a role model for the entire school, and even for admirals worldwide. However, after repeatedly verifying the facts, Kanae Yanagisawa confirmed the news was indeed true.
After that, Kanae Yanagisawa's reaction became a bit strange; her face turned red. She kept saying "no," then "probably." This left Kanae's starting ship, Fubuki, completely baffled as to why her admiral was reacting this way.
"Admiral, why do you look so strange?" Fubuki asked.
"Is it strange?" Kanae Yanazawa asked, touching her face.
"Mmm," Fubuki nodded.
"I've thought of something, and let's rest for a few days first! We'll take office tomorrow!" Ryuzawa Kanae looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon. If she took office now, she wouldn't be able to make it in time.
"Yes, Admiral."
When Yanagi Sawa woke up the next day, she found that the school told her not to go to her post yet, but to take 5 resources to the venue of the Admiral's Competition and give the 5 resources to Mikami Hiroyu, saying that this was a reward from the school for Mikami Hiroyu's promotion to captain.
Without a word, Yanagizawa Kanae accepted the order. She then set off for the Admiral's Duel venue with the bewildered Fubuki and 5 resource cards.
-----------
Yu Shenhaoyu has no idea that he has suddenly gained 5 resources. If he did, he would probably be very happy.
Yuu Mikami is currently looking at the destroyer circling around him with a bewildered expression, which is making him a little confused.
Not only was Mikami Hiroyu completely baffled, but even Nagata Nobunaga looked utterly bewildered. It seemed only Yamato, Taihou, and Iowa knew something. However, they all simply stood aside watching the destroyer circle around their admiral.
The reason for this situation dates back to when Mikami Hiroyu and his group finished lunch. Lunchtime had arrived, and Nagata Nobunaga led Mikami Hiroyu and his group to lunch—everything seemed normal.
Although Nagata Nobunaga discovered along the way that the girl holding the umbrella following Mikami Hiroyu was not Mikami Hiroyu's maid, but a ship girl. Judging from her appetite, she was definitely at the battleship level, possibly even stronger than Iowa.
The reason Nagata Nobunaga could tell was because the girl with the umbrella ate more than Iowa. A ship girl's appetite reflects her strength; the more she eats, the stronger she is. This criterion can determine the strength of 99% of ship girls.
Although Nagata Nobunaga knew that Iowa and Taihou would consume a lot of energy and had ordered the kitchen to prepare a large amount in advance, he was still wrong. With Iowa, Taihou, and Yamato, the food prepared for them was almost gone in less than ten minutes after the meal began.
When the ship girls under Nagata Nobunaga reported through the soul network that they were running low on food, Nagata Nobunaga looked at Mikami Hiroyu, who was smiling at him, and ordered, "Prepare with all your might!" He refused to believe that the meager appetite of just two battleships and an armored carrier would frighten him.
He, a mere governor, the world's only marshal, was supposed to be afraid of the appetites of just two battleships and an armored carrier? That was a joke; Nagata Nobunaga couldn't bear to lose face like that. However, watching Iowa, Taihou, and that unknown ship girl feasting, Nagata Nobunaga felt a faint sadness for some reason.
Nagata Nobunaga understood why Mikami Hiroyu was so eager for resources; the consumption of battleships and aircraft carriers was simply too great. If it were him, he might be even more resource-hungry than Mikami Hiroyu. Fortunately, his own fleet didn't have battleships, aircraft carriers, or anything like that.
In truth, Yamato and the others' appetites wouldn't shock the governor-general; at most, they would only surprise him. But Hiroyuki Mikami told Yamato and the others to eat as much as they wanted, until they couldn't eat anymore.
The Yamato warriors were overjoyed to hear what Mikami Hiroyu said. Moreover, this was a rare opportunity; they didn't know when another chance like this would come along. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they knew it wouldn't come again.
According to the person in charge of the kitchen, when Yu Shenhao and his group left, this meal consumed 4 resources, meaning a full 2 resources were gone just like that.
Actually, Yamato and the others didn't eat that much; they were almost full after eating 1 units. So, they ate and laughed for the rest of the time. Ship girls also have something called ship equipment, which silently stores resources directly within the ship equipment; it's a special skill for high-level and rare ship girls.
If Hiroyu Mikami hadn't noticed Nobunaga Nagata's strange expression and told Yamato and the others to stop, they would still be...
Anyway, ever since then, whenever Mikami Hiroyu went to the Naval Headquarters to handle matters, Nagata Nobunaga never invited him to eat again, and Mikami Hiroyu didn't care at all; the two of them knew the truth.
Nobunaga Nagata, being the governor-general, had seen it all. He quickly regained his composure, but Yamato caught his attention. It seemed this ship girl was his trump card, but what kind of ship girl was she? Nobunaga was curious, but since Hiroyu Mikami didn't say, he didn't ask. He figured some information would be revealed during the admiral's competition.
After finishing his meal, Mikami Hiroyu was preoccupied with the destroyer that Nagata Nobunaga had mentioned. Before he could even ask about it, a primary school student suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Mikami Hiroyu, asking him questions with great curiosity.
"Are you the admiral who was promoted from lieutenant to captain in just one week, Poi?"
Before Mikami Hiroyu could speak, Nagata Nobunaga chimed in, "Yes, that kid is the admiral who rose from lieutenant to captain in just one week, and he's also the admiral of Maizuru's naval base. I personally issued his credentials; they're absolutely genuine and reliable."

Chapter Ninety-One: Elementary School Students (First Update)
As the little girl, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, looked at him curiously, Yu Shen Haoyu was also observing this girl who seemed to have a strange verbal tic.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced you yet. This is the destroyer I mentioned earlier, the fourth ship of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer—'Yuudachi'. Now, let me formally introduce you, Yuudachi. This is Admiral Hiroyu Mikami of the Maizuru Naval Base."
After listening to Nagata Nobunaga's introduction, Mikami Hiroyu realized that the destroyer jumping around in front of him was the one he had always wanted. However, his main task now was to get this destroyer into his naval base, which was the only important thing.
Nobunaga Nagata disappeared without a trace, and now only Hiroyu Mikami and his ship girls remain.
"Nice to meet you! Yuudachi, my name is Mikami Hiroyu, and I am currently the Admiral of Maizuru Naval Base." Mikami Hiroyu extended his hand.
“Me too, nice to meet you. I am the fourth ship of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Yuudachi.” Yuudachi also extended her hand and shook hands with Mikami Hiroyu.
Yu Shen Haoyu shook hands briefly before letting go, not wanting to leave the other party with the impression of a pervert who was interested in elementary school students.
Mikami Hiroyu observed the change in weather. Aside from her constant refrain of saying "poi, poi," this destroyer named Yuudachi didn't seem particularly special. Since Yuudachi's ship rigging wasn't showing, Mikami Hiroyu initially thought she was a girl. If Nagata Nobunaga hadn't said she was a destroyer, Mikami Hiroyu wouldn't have even considered that possibility.
Yuudachi seemed to have noticed something special about Mikami Hiroyu, and made a dog-like gesture as she tried to sniff him.
"Iowa, do you know this girl named Yuudachi? Is she really not much different from the admiral you rejected?" Mikami Hiroyu asked through the soul network.
"Admiral, I've only vaguely heard about Yuudachi's story; I don't know much about it."
