After overhearing Nagato and Iowa's conversation, Mamiya noticed their presence and exclaimed in surprise, "Nagato, Iowa! What are you doing here?"

Iowa and Nagato walked up behind Mikami Hiroyu and said, "Now we are ship girls in the admiral's fleet, so of course we are wherever the admiral is! But Mamiya, why are you here at my naval base instead of running your restaurant?"

Iowa's words were a bit hard for Mamiya to accept. Two powerful battleships would join the naval base of this little kid at the same time?

"Um, could you explain this to us? We don't quite understand your conversation," said Yu Shen Haoyu, extending his hand.

"Sorry, Admiral, I was so busy catching up with Mamiya that I didn't introduce you yet. This is Mamiya. As she just mentioned, she's a supply ship girl. She runs a restaurant and can cook all sorts of delicious dishes. Nagato and I are regulars at that restaurant," Io explained to Mikami Hiroyu.

"By the way, boss lady, how did you get to Maizuru, and why did you leave it in such a state? And you're a supply ship, so how could you have it ruined by resources? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought someone was joking with me," Iowa asked again after explaining to Mikami Hiroyu.

After listening to Iowa's introduction, Mikami Hiroyu was also very curious as to why a supply ship girl who runs a restaurant would appear at his Maizuru Naval Base, and to the point that he would have to return to the world's embrace if he returned even a little later.

Upon hearing Iowa mention this, Mamiya immediately shifted her focus from the question of why Iowa and Nagato had joined Mikami Hiroyu's naval base. With tears welling in her eyes, she said tearfully, "I just wanted to watch the Admiral's Tournament. It was already dark when I passed by, so I planned to rest here and continue my journey the next day. But after getting close to this island, I couldn't get out the next day. No matter how I looked, I just couldn't get out. And then this is what you see."

After hearing Mamiya's words, Iowa, Yamato, and Taihou all looked at Mikami Hiroyu with smiling eyes. They knew that the reason Mamiya couldn't leave was probably because of the Admiral's doing, but for now, they would pretend not to know.

Mikami Hiroyu knew that this ship girl's current state was thanks to her own efforts. However, he couldn't explain it, so he could only give this ship girl more resources to compensate for Mamiya's losses.

"By the way, Nagato, Iowa, you said he's your admiral? You're not kidding?"

"Do you think we're joking?" Nagato said to Iowa with a serious expression.

"Hello, Mamiya-sama. Nagato and Iowa are ship girls from my fleet. I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the admiral of this naval base—Mikami Hiroyu. Nice to meet you," Mikami Hiroyu said with a smile.

Chapter 127 Mamiya Boss Lady

As a restaurant owner, Mamiya had witnessed countless people and ship girls' laughter and joy, but she was captivated by the faint smile on Mikami Hiroyu's face. What a smile it was, filled with sincerity, hope, and happiness.

But an unwelcome sound jolted Mamiya from Mikami Hiroyu's smile. Mikami Hiroyu recognized the voice immediately, as did all the ship girls present; it was simply someone's stomach rumbling in protest.

Following the sound, people saw Eugen standing behind Yuudachi, her eyes red. When she realized everyone had noticed her, she said apologetically, "That wasn't the sound of Eugen's stomach, was it, Yuudachi?"

However, to avoid arousing suspicion from the Admiral and her seniors, Yuudachi said ruthlessly, "Admiral, it was Eugen's stomach that made that sound, not Yuudachi's. Don't doubt Yuudachi!"

Mikami Hiroyu knew perfectly well whose stomachs were rumbling, but it wasn't their fault. After a long day of running around, even Mikami Hiroyu himself was a little hungry. Yamato and the others had some resources in their ship equipment space, and they would secretly replenish their supplies when they realized they weren't feeling well. As for Yuudachi and Eugen, they hadn't considered this; their consumption was usually very low, so they didn't carry any resources in their ship equipment space.

Yu Shen Haoyu smiled and said, "Alright, it's not 'oug,' it's the Admiral's stomach that's making that noise. We can't just stand here like this, let's go to the canteen and fill our stomachs, okay?"

Eugen was initially touched by Hiroyuki's words, but she hadn't expected the Admiral to offer to take the blame for her sake. However, when Hiroyuki mentioned going to the cafeteria for supplies, she immediately jumped out from behind Yuudachi, excitedly shouting, "Long live the Admiral!"

Mikami Hiroyu glanced helplessly at Eugen, who was cheering, and then said to Yamato, "Yamato, why don't you take Eugen and the others to the cafeteria to get something to eat?"

Before Mikami Hiroyu could finish speaking, Mamiya interrupted him: "Well, to thank you for saving me, if you don't mind, let me cook dinner. I'm not very good at it, but when it comes to cooking, I'm confident I can rival anyone else."

When Iowa, Nagato, and Yuudachi heard that the famous proprietress would be cooking dinner, they immediately looked at Mikami Hiroyu with expectant eyes. They hoped that Mikami Hiroyu would agree, as they knew how good the proprietress was at cooking.

Yuuji Mikami initially wanted to refuse; it seemed a bit unreasonable to trouble someone he had just met. However, after seeing the looks from Iowa and the other two, Yuuji Mikami finally agreed.

Yu Shen Haoyu said apologetically, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Mamiya was delighted to hear Hiroyuki Mikami's agreement. If she had been surprised when Iowa and Nagato told her they had joined the Maizuru Naval Base behind it all, then Mikamiki's announcement that he was the admiral of that base, and Iowa and Nagato's admiral, piqued her curiosity. How could someone so young become an admiral and have the arrogant Iowa and Nagato join his base? But what Mamiya saw next only deepened her curiosity: why were the standard aircraft carrier Kaga and the armored carrier Taihou there, along with two ship girls she didn't recognize? More importantly, Mamiya sensed a pressure emanating from Yamato, though she tried to conceal it, a hint of it still surfaced.

Mamiya was already quite curious about Mikami Hiroyu, and after being charmed by his smile, she found herself acting strangely. She had an urge to stay by Mikami Hiroyu's side, just to see his smile and smell his scent. Mamiya didn't know why she had become like this, but she didn't dislike the feeling in her heart. Just as Mamiya was trying to find an excuse to stay at Maizuru Naval Base, Eugen's pregnancy gave her a glimmer of hope, so she offered to cook.

If I can let Mikami Hiroyu and his ship girls know about my cooking skills, then she can find a reason to stay in Maizuru. What a great idea!

“It’s not troublesome at all. If my cooking can make people and ship girls happy, then I’ll be happy too,” Mamiya said with a smile.

"By the way, how do I get into this naval base? I've been wandering around here for the past few days. Perhaps you could show me the way?" Mamiya turned around, a question immediately forming in his mind.

“Alright then! Let me lead the way!” said Yu Shenhao.

After Mikami Hiroyu agreed to help Mamiya with the cooking, Iowa happily said, "Admiral, let me lead the way! Boss lady, come with me." After saying that, Iowa walked towards the naval base.

Mikami Hiroyu smiled helplessly at Mamiya and gestured for him to enter. Mamiya returned Mikami Hiroyu's smile and then followed Iowa into the Maizuru Naval Base.

"Let's follow Iowa!"

"Yes, Admiral."

Next, on the way from the naval base to the cafeteria, Iowa introduced Maizuru to Mamiya and the newly arrived Kaga, Yuudachi, Nagato, and Eugen. Kaga, Yuudachi, Nagato, and Eugen were all amazed by the sheer size and comprehensive facilities of Maizuru's naval base. However, Mamiya had a question: wasn't it said that Maizuru's naval base had been bombed into ruins not long ago? How could this be explained now? But neither Iowa nor Mikami Hiroyu mentioned it, so he decided to pretend he didn't know.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Mamiya seemed to have found her own personal ship equipment. Taking the initiative, she quickly prepared a sumptuous meal and laid it on the table.

After tasting it, Yu Shenhao immediately exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

Mamiya Mikami Hiroyu was very satisfied with his cooking and was quite happy, but he said aloud, "It's not that good! You guys try that dish too!"

Yamato and the others started eating after Mikami Hiroyu had already started. After taking a bite, they all agreed with what Mikami Hiroyu had said.

Iowa: "It's been so long since I've tasted the landlady's cooking, I'm going to eat a lot today."

This was the best meal Yuujin Hiroyu had eaten since coming to this world. After the meal, Yuujin Hiroyu couldn't help but sigh, "I really can't imagine the days after you, Madam Mamiya, are gone, after we've had this meal."

Mikami Hiroyu's words made his ship girls nod in agreement. They really didn't want to eat the food that Mamiya used to make after eating it.

However, Shimomiya then said something that surprised Mikami Hiroyu and his ship girls!

Chapter 128 The Little Fairy and the Secretary Ship

What exactly did Mamiya say that surprised Mikami Hiroyu and his ship girls so much?

In fact, Mamiya only said one sentence: "If that's the case, why don't you let me join your naval base?"

Upon hearing this, the ship girls of Mikami Hiroyu reacted the fastest. Watching them tell Mamiya about their favorite dishes, Mikami Hiroyu was speechless. The key person in this matter hadn't even agreed yet. They seemed convinced they would definitely get Mamiya to join.

Yu Shenhaoyu had to say something: "That Mamiya proprietress, I heard from Iowa that you also run a restaurant. If you just join my Maizuru like this, what will happen to your restaurant?"

While writing down the dishes that Iowa and the others liked, Mamiya replied, "Don't worry about that. I'm the only one working at the restaurant; if it closes, it closes. Or are you saying you don't want me to join your naval base?"

Upon hearing this, Yuudachi immediately asked, "Admiral, is what Mamiya-nee said true? You really don't want Mamiya-nee to join Maizuru?" Not only Yuudachi, but even Iowa and the others looked at Mikami Hiroyu, eager to know the answer to this question.

"How could that be? I'm just worried that Mamiya won't be able to afford that restaurant. Of course, I'd welcome Mamiya to join my Maizuru Naval Base. That way, I can enjoy delicious food every day."

"Since you've agreed, let's sign the contract first!" Upon hearing that Mikami Hiroyu had agreed to join Maizuru, Mamiya immediately came to Mikami Hiroyu and said happily.

Thus, in Yamato and the others' eyes, Mikami Hiroyu had signed a ship girl contract with Mamiya, becoming a ship girl in Mikami Hiroyu's fleet—not a combat ship girl, but the first supply ship in Mikami Hiroyu's fleet.

After signing a contract with Mikami Hiroyu, Mamiya felt he could make even more delicious food, but it was after dinner, so he could only try again tomorrow.

From then on, the world-famous Mamiya Restaurant officially closed down. Many ship girls who wanted to eat Mamiya cuisine were heartbroken for a long time, and then inquired about Mamiya everywhere, until much later they learned that Mamiya had joined the Maizuru Naval Base a long time ago.

"From now on, our lives are in your hands, Mamiya!"

"I will certainly not let you down, Admiral," Mamiya said confidently.

"Well, it's getting late, everyone's had a long day, so get some rest! We'll rest tomorrow, and then we'll officially begin the campaign to conquer areas 1-4. By the way, do you know where your dorms are?" Yu Shenhao suddenly thought of this question as he was talking.

Yuudachi was the first to raise her hand and say, "We know, Admiral, but I'm the only one in the destroyer dormitory. Can I sleep with Eugen? poi."

Hiroyuki Mikami agreed without hesitation, which delighted Yuudachi and Eugen. As for Kaga and the others, they all nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Then everyone should get some rest."

"Good evening, Admiral," Yamato and the others said at the same time.

Goodnight, you too!

After washing up, Yu Shen Haoyu lay on his bed, pondering how to use his Pokémon to gather intelligence, before unknowingly drifting off to sleep. Unbeknownst to him, the Pokémon he had been thinking about appeared in his room while he slept. These Pokémon seemed to have been summoned, appearing one by one in Yu Shen Haoyu's room. Initially jumping around happily upon seeing Yu Shen Haoyu, they quieted down upon seeing him asleep and remained in his room, each one acting cautiously as if guarding him as he slept.

The next morning, when Yamato came to wake Mikami Hiroyu, he found the room full of little fairies when he opened the door. These fairies weren't afraid of Yamato; they simply made a collective shushing gesture. Yamato didn't know why the fairies were in his admiral's bedroom, but he also made a shushing gesture. Seeing that Yamato understood his meaning, the fairies slowly disappeared, and soon the room was completely empty.

Yamato was curious as to why such a little fairy would appear in her admiral's dormitory, and why she would stay there so as not to wake him. But now was not the time to worry about that, because Mikami Hiroyu had woken up. He had slowly woken up right after the little fairy disappeared.

"Good morning, Admiral," Yamato said in a very gentle tone.

"Yamato, good morning to you too!" Mikami Hiroyu said with a yawn.

Yamato picked up Mikami Hiroyu's clothes, stood beside Mikami Hiroyu's bed, and said, "Mamiya, breakfast is ready, Admiral."

Mikami Hiroyu slowly got out of bed, took the clothes from Yamato's hand, and put them on. Yamato straightened the wrinkles in Mikami Hiroyu's clothes, saying, "Admiral, when I was waking you up, I found a lot of little fairies in your room."

When Yamato had almost finished tidying up, he spoke those words.

"Really? But why would a little imp come to my bedroom!" Yu Shenhaoyu was a little confused.

"I don't know about that," Yamato said regretfully.

"Forget about that, let's go have breakfast first! I didn't expect that as soon as we returned to the naval base, a culinary master like Mamiya would join our Maizuru team! By the way, Yamato, what gift do you want?" Mikami Hiroyu suddenly remembered this question. During the admiral's competition, he said that if he won, he would give every ship girl in the fleet a gift.

"I like anything the Admiral gives me," Yamato said shyly.

Yamato's answer left Mikami Hiroyu speechless; it was essentially meaningless. Ultimately, the decision was his own, but what would be a better gift?

But there's no rush now. We still have plenty of time, so let's think about it slowly!

"Let's go have breakfast first!" said Yu Shenhaoyu, opening the door.

"Yes, Admiral."

Without realizing it, Mikami Hiroyu gradually got used to having Yamato following him around. Suddenly, he remembered something Nagata Nobunaga had said before he left the starting island: "You have quite a few ship girls in your fleet now, haven't you considered a secretary ship? Now you're the strongest admiral in the world, it would be ridiculous if your naval base didn't have a secretary ship."

At that time, Mikami Hiroyu laughed and said that it was not yet time for him to establish his secretary ship, and he did not have a suitable ship girl in mind. He was also thinking about the competition all day long, so he forgot what Nagata Nobunaga said.

However, Mikami Hiroyu unknowingly discovered that Yamato's usual tasks were similar to those of the secretary ship.

(An important secretary ship for the fleet is about to appear!)

Chapter 129 Yamato's Melancholy

The secretary ship—as the name suggests—is the admiral's secretary. It assists the admiral in managing the fleet and naval base, and helps the admiral complete all tasks assigned to the naval base. When the admiral is absent, it can exercise the admiral's authority to make the fleet act according to the secretary ship's will.

Currently, Yamato, while lacking the title of "Secretary Ship," is performing the duties of one. It seems Yamato is currently the most suitable candidate for Secretary Ship in the fleet! Before Yamato was built, Iowa served as both Mikami Hiroyu's starting ship and Secretary Ship, but Iowa's personality is too active; Mikami Hiroyu dared not appoint her as Secretary Ship. Who knows what kind of trouble Iowa and the fleet would cause if she were given this role?

It seems that apart from Yamato, there is no one in the fleet that Mikami Hiroyu can trust to entrust the position of secretary ship to.

Mikami Hiroyu suddenly stopped on the road. Yamato didn't know why Mikami Hiroyu suddenly stopped, but Yamato immediately followed Mikami Hiroyu and stopped as well.

Then Yamato heard Hiroyu Mikami say, "Yamato, if I asked you to be my secretary ship, would you agree?"

Yamato was completely taken aback by Mikami Hiroyu's words. Hearing this, Yamato felt inexplicably happy. Yamato knew that the closest person to the Admiral was the secretary ship. If she became the secretary ship, she would spend more time with Mikami Hiroyu and could truly help her Admiral, instead of just doing mundane chores. While Yamato was happy to take care of the Admiral's daily life, only the secretary ship could truly help him. Yamato had considered who Mikami Hiroyu might choose as her secretary ship—perhaps Iowa, or Kaga, but never herself.

"Admiral, can't Iowa and the others also serve as secretary ships?" Yamato thought about the change of weather, and given Yamato's personality, she said this.

"But you are the one I've chosen as my secretary ship. Don't you want to be the secretary ship, Yamato?"

"No, Admiral, I just..." Yamato quickly explained.

"Alright, you don't need to answer me now. Tell me your answer after we've conquered areas 1-4!"

After breakfast, Mikami Hiroyu walked down the main street of the naval base, with Yamato following half a step behind him as usual. However, Yamato was preoccupied today, and Mikami Hiroyu was thinking about the little fairy Yamato had mentioned, so he didn't notice anything unusual about Yamato.

As for Kaga and the others, after breakfast, they were led by Iowa to familiarize themselves with Maizuru, the place that would soon be their home.

Yamato mentioned in the morning that there were many little fairies in his bedroom, but why would little fairies appear in his room? This question had been troubling Mikami Hiroyu, and just when he was about to give up, he suddenly thought of a possibility: could the arrival of the little fairies be related to the world's consciousness? Last night, while he was sleeping, he thought about reading about little fairies, and then they appeared in his room. Wasn't all of this too much of a coincidence?

The more Yu Shen Haoyu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Would these little fairies appear if he called out to them in his mind? It was worth a try. With that thought, Yu Shen Haoyu immediately stopped in his tracks. Then he closed his eyes and silently called out the little fairies' names in his mind.

Seeing her admiral stop and close his eyes, Yamato didn't disturb him. She simply stood quietly behind Mikami Hiroyu, lost in her own thoughts.

Yamato really wanted to be the secretary ship. Being the secretary ship would allow her to spend more time with the admiral and truly share some of his burdens. However, Yamato had to be mindful of the thoughts of the other ship girls in the fleet.

As the starting ship girl for Mikami Hiroyu, Iowa joined the still-ruined Maizuru Naval Base without hesitation during Mikami Hiroyu's most difficult time. At that time, Mikami Hiroyu was just a newly appointed admiral, an 11-year-old child, treated as cannon fodder by the Naval Admiral Academy. But Iowa didn't expect any of this, and still joined Mikami Hiroyu's fleet, becoming Mikami Hiroyu's first ship girl.

While Hiroyu Mikami is the primary contributor to the naval base's current success, Iowa has also made significant contributions. Before Yamato's arrival, Iowa was essentially Hiroyu Mikami's secretary ship. Even after Yamato's arrival, Iowa continued to offer Mikami many valuable suggestions. Is it really a good thing to remain a secretary ship like this? Yamato truly doesn't know what to do.

Neither Hiroyuki nor Yamato noticed that several little fairies had appeared around them. They danced and played around Hiroyuki and Yamato. Gradually, more and more fairies appeared, and they danced and sang freely above Hiroyuki and Yamato, with them at the center.

At this moment, Iowa and Kaga saw this scene not far away. They were all curious as to why so many little fairies had appeared above Maizuru. When they got closer, perhaps because Iowa and Kaga carried the aura of Mikami Hiroyu, the little fairies were not afraid of them. Instead, they made way for them.

Iowa and her companions walked along the path cleared for them by the little fairies. Watching the fairies fluttering around them, they were all curious about why this was happening. They seemed afraid of frightening the fairies, proceeding cautiously the entire way. Although they wanted to ask Mikami Hiroyu and Yamato, who were at the center of the fairies, they forced themselves to hold back. However, they were certain that it was all related to their admiral.

Yu Shen Haoyu closed his eyes and mentally summoned the spirit for nearly ten minutes. Just when he thought he had failed, he opened his eyes. Countless little fairies were flying around him. This made Yu Shen Haoyu extremely happy; it seemed he had succeeded.

After seeing that Yu Shen Haoyu had opened his eyes, the little fairy did not disperse but continued to fly around him. At this moment, a little fairy, slightly smaller than the normal one but exuding a kingly aura, appeared in front of Yu Shen Haoyu.

"Human, what brings you here?" At that moment, these words suddenly echoed in Mikami Hiroyu's mind.

Yu Shen Haoyu quickly realized that these were the words of the little fairy in front of him, so it seemed that this was the little fairy's king.

"Hello, King of the Little Fairies, nice to meet you. I am Admiral Mikami Hiroyu of this naval base..." Over the next few hours, after chatting with the king, Mikami Hiroyu asked the little fairies to help him gather intelligence on the deep sea. The King of the Little Fairies considered it for a while and then agreed to Mikami Hiroyu's request.

Requesting flowers, rewards, favorites, or monthly tickets.

Let the flowers and tips shower me with love! I'd be so happy!

Chapter 130 War Conference

After reaching an agreement with Yu Shen Haoyu, the King of the Fairies circled Yu Shen Haoyu twice before leaving with his people.
