"Haven't you thought about finding another admiral?"

Electricity: "We've tried that too, after all, this world has a powerful deep sea."

Lei: "But those admirals, once they saw we were destroyers, some gave us a good welcome and then left under some pretext, while others didn't even show up. After trying a few times, we gave up on that idea."

"Those admirals who rejected you will definitely regret their past refusal to let you join. So, can you join my naval base? My naval base will definitely welcome you." One second, Yu Shen Haoyu was still standing up for Xiao and the others, and the next second, he revealed his true colors, which was also his ultimate goal.

Mikami Hiroyu's statement about joining his garrison was a bit hard for Akatsuki and the others to accept.

"Admiral, what did you just say? Could you repeat it?" he said.

Xiao and the others, somewhat disbelieving that Yu Shen Haoyu would say such a thing, asked again to confirm.

Then Mikami Hiroyu repeated what he had just said: "Then can you join my naval base? My naval base will definitely welcome you."

After confirming that they hadn't misheard, Xiao and the others immediately huddled together to discuss it.

Xiao: "What do we do now? Join or refuse?"

Hibiki didn't express her opinion yet, but was still thinking. If it were just her, she would have immediately agreed after Mikami Hiroyu invited her. Hibiki still had a good feeling about Mikami Hiroyu, probably because of the sense of security he showed when he saved them, or perhaps because Mikami Hiroyu currently didn't have any ship girls, and she wanted to help him.

Ray: "I think I can join."

After waking up in the bathroom, Lei was captivated by the gentleness shown by Mikami Hiroyu. She figured if she were alone, she would have joined the naval base without Mikami Hiroyu even bringing it up.

Telegram: "I also think he could join. This admiral doesn't seem like one of those bad admirals, and he even saved us. He'll definitely be a good admiral."

Akari saw that her sisters, Hibiki and Raiden, wanted to join them. Although she herself felt she could join, she, Hibiki, and Raiden were all a bit tired after years of wandering. This time, Mikami Hiroyu saved them, but if a similar situation occurred again, who would save them? Would another Nozomi appear then? It was time to find a naval base to make their home, and a commander they could rely on.

Xiao: "Xiang, what do you think?"

Before Hibiki could express her opinion, Akatsuki and the others would definitely refuse Mikami Hiroyu's invitation if Hibiki disagreed.

Xiang looked at her sisters and then said, "I agree with you."

After Xiaozai agreed, she said, "Then let's join this group called..."

"The Maizuru Naval Base said," the telegram reminded him.

"Yes, I was just testing you guys. How could I forget the name of our house next? That's not how a lady should behave," Xiao laughed awkwardly.

After discussing for a while, Mikami Hiroyu saw that Akira and the others had stood in front of him again. They seemed to have reached a conclusion, Mikami Hiroyu thought.

Xiao: "After our consideration..."

Ray: "We believe"

Telegram: "We're joining your naval base."

Sound: "Хорошо"

Hearing the perfectly synchronized Akatsuki, Hibiki, Rai, and Den announce that they had joined his naval base, Mikami Hiroyu finally felt a weight lifted from his heart. He had finally tricked them into joining Maizuru—no, he had actually gotten them to join Maizuru. How could he call it a trick? How could the Admiral's decision to have the ship girls join his naval base be called a trick? It was an invitation, an invitation.

Yu Shen Haoyu said with a smile, "Welcome to the Maizuru Garrison! We look forward to your continued support!"

Xiao smiled and said, "I am Xiao. The lead ship of the Xiao-class destroyer—Xiao. Please treat me as a capable and independent lady, Admiral!"

Hibiki: "I am—Viriny. The second ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyers—Hibiki. This name means 'trustworthy.' Admiral, you must remember it well."

Rai: "My name is Rai! I'm the third ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyer—Rai, not some lightning bolt! Nice to meet you!"

Compared to her older sisters, Den seemed a bit shy: "I am the fourth ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyer—Admiral Den, please take good care of me."

(You guys in the comments section are so lewd! And hey, could you give me some flowers or a tip? Not too much, just a little bit is fine!)

Chapter 141 The Eloquent Admiral

Just after Akatsuki and her companions signed the contract with Hiroyuki Mikami, they were getting used to the amplification brought about by Mikami's soul network. They now felt that they could deal damage on their own, something that previously required the combined efforts of four people. In other words, although they were now in the form of destroyers, they possessed the firepower of heavy cruiser girls.

Xiao and the others discovered that besides the four of them, other ship girls also existed in Mikami Hiroyu's soul network.

"Um, Admiral," Xiao asked first.

"What's wrong, Xiao?" Yu Shen Haoyu replied happily.

"I also sensed the presence of other ship girls in your soul network, and quite a few of them. Apart from Mamiya's, their soul networks are all very strong. Are you saying that only you and Mamiya are in the naval base?"

"Yes! I'm right. Right now, it's just me and Mamiya at the Maizuru Naval Base. I believe you'll be able to see the other ship girls in the fleet soon. They should be arriving in Maizuru soon too. Come with me to greet them!" Mikami Hiroyu said, looking at the setting sun.

After hearing Yuu's answer, Xiao and the others realized they had fallen into his word trap. However, aside from a slight confusion, they felt no anger at having been deceived. They simply didn't understand why Yuu would say such a thing. They were just destroyers, ordinary destroyers. Given the power of Yuu's soul network, he could probably recruit any kind of high-level or rare ship girl into his naval base.

But why did Mikami Hiroyu set up a textual trap in order to get them to join his garrison? Akira and the others had no idea.

Seeing that Xiao and the others were still looking at him curiously, Yu Shenhaoyu knew that if he didn't explain clearly, they would probably think that he had a special hobby. Although Yu Shenhaoyu was only 11 years old and still a child, it couldn't stop Xiao and the others from having wild imaginations.

Yu Shen Haoyu said with a smile, "Are you all curious why I would invite you to join my naval base when I already have such a strong soul network and several powerful ship girls?"

Xiao and the others nodded; they were really eager to know the answer to this question.

"The answer to this question is simple; you'll find out yourselves in a moment. But for now, come with me!" After saying this, Mikami Hiroyu walked towards the port and notified Mamiya through the soul network to prepare dinner.

"Admiral, wait for me!" While Dian was still thinking, she realized that Mikami Hiroyu and the others had already gone quite a distance.

"Dian, you're too slow! Hurry up! How can you be a capable lady like this?" Xiao said, turning around.

"Alright, let's just wait for the power to come out! Anyway, the port isn't far from here," said Mikami Hiroyu with a smile.

When Den ran up to Mikami Hiroyu's side, Den stuck out his tongue at Akatsuki and said, "Akatsuki, you're so mean. The Admiral is the best!"

Yu Shenhaoyu waited at the port for less than a minute. The sunset dyed the sea red, and several small dots appeared. Then they slowly grew larger and soon became ship girls in Xiao's and her companions' eyes, surprising them. It seemed that they had joined an amazing naval base.

As Iowa and her companions approached Maizuru, they discovered four new members suddenly appearing in Mikami Hiroyu's soul network, as evidenced by the network's strength. These four newly joined ship girls from the naval base were presumably destroyers. This meant the admiral had revived those four destroyers and brought them into Maizuru.

The happiest of them all was Yuudachi. Now, with her and Maizuru Naval Base, there are five destroyers, and she finally has companions.

Just as Yamato and the others were wondering what kind of destroyers had joined Maizuru, they discovered that their admiral was waiting for them at the port with four destroyers who had just joined Maizuru. Yamato and the others immediately sped up.

"Admiral, as you ordered, we have successfully conquered the 2nd to 4th sea area. The entire fleet has returned to Maizuru. There were no casualties during the conquest," Yamato reported to Mikami Hiroyu after landing, outlining the results of the conquest and the fleet's condition.

"Thank you for your hard work. By the way, let me introduce you. These are Akatsuki, Hibiki, Rai, and Den, who have just joined the fleet," Mikami Hiroyu introduced Yamato and the others.

"Seniors, I am Xiao. Please take care of me in the future," Xiao replied nervously as soon as she heard Yu Shenhaoyu's words.

After Xiao finished introducing herself to Dahe and the others, Xiang, Lei, and Dian each gave a brief self-introduction.

After Akatsuki and the others finished introducing themselves, Mikami Hiroyu said, "Akatsuki, I'm sure you know Iowa, Kaga, Taihou, Nagato, and Yuudachi in the fleet. You may not know Yamato and Eugen yet, but we'll have time for that later. Now do you know why I invited you to join my naval base and become part of my fleet?"

"Is it because the naval base is deserted and no one goes on expeditions?" After seeing the ship girls that he had only heard about in the admiral's chat, Hibiki understood why Mikami Hiroyu had invited them to join the Maizuru Naval Base.

"Hibiki is right, as you all know. Resources are essential for a naval base to function properly. The main source of resources is expeditions, but as you've seen, only Yuudachi can currently participate in expeditions in Maizuru, and Eugen can barely manage. However, if Yamato and the others were to participate in expeditions, the resources they gather would probably not be enough to sustain them. Maizuru's current resources are barely enough to sustain Yamato and the others, but it won't last long. I heard that Akatsuki and you are experts at expeditions, so I decided to have you join my naval base."

Yamato and the others suppressed their urge to laugh as they watched Mikami Hiroyu con him and the others. What Mikami Hiroyu said was true, but now, after the two enhancements from Mikami Hiroyu's soul network, their resource consumption was no longer so terrifying. This was completely contrary to the situation Mikami Hiroyu had described, where the naval base would soon face a resource crisis.

"Are Akatsuki and Hibiki really that famous?" Akatsuki asked Mikami Hiroyu excitedly after hearing what he said.

"Yes, I heard you were experts at long-distance expeditions at the naval headquarters. Yamato and the others can testify to that. You said it was Yamato..."

"That seems to be the case," Yamato said helplessly.

Fortunately, Akatsuki and the others were completely captivated by Hiroyuki Mikami's sweet words and didn't pay much attention to Yamato's tone.

"Since the Admiral has said so, then we'll take over the expeditionary missions of the naval base from now on!"

From then on, Xiao, Xiang, Lei, and Dian boarded the great ship of Yushen Haoyu and never disembarked again.

Chapter 142 Magical Ship Girls?

After Mikami Hiroyu finished speaking, Yuudachi took the initiative to go up and talk to Akatsuki and the others. Perhaps because they were both destroyers, Akatsuki and the others quickly became good friends with Yuudachi.

"By the way, how many resources did we get from attacking Sea Areas 2-4 this time?" Mikami Hiroyu suddenly remembered a very important question: he had left in a hurry and didn't know how many resources they had obtained in total. However, Mikami Hiroyu didn't have high hopes for the resources they had gained, since he had told them to just keep pushing forward and replenish their resources on the spot.

"Admiral, regarding this matter, after we finished conquering areas 2-4 and cleared out the resources in the deep sea, we did a quick count and found that we harvested a total of 20 resources," Yamato said after organizing his thoughts.

"So many?" Yu Shen Haoyu was a little surprised.

"What?! Admiral Yamato and the others have conquered Sea Area 2-4!" Lei had noticed something was off from the beginning. Now, after understanding Yamato's words, he finally realized what was wrong. What kind of naval base had they added?! Their fleet had already conquered Sea Area 2-4.

According to what Lei and the others know, the admiral and ship girls have only managed to clear area 2-1 at most. The naval base they've joined seems a bit unusual. What would the admirals who abandoned or rejected them do if they knew they'd joined a naval base that's already cleared area 2-4?

“Yes! We rescued you while we were conquering areas 1-4. Don’t you believe us?” Iowa said.

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant... electricity, explain it to me." Lei was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

"Um, Senior Iowa, what Lei meant was that she was just a little surprised that the naval base could conquer the 2-4 sea area, since the farthest sea area they've conquered so far is only the 2-1 sea area!" Dian explained to Lei what she was trying to say.

“Yes, that’s what I meant,” Lei said, glancing gratefully at Dian.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. All you need to know is that our Maizuru Naval Base is the strongest naval base in the world. If the Admiral hadn't called us back, we really would have liked to see how strong the deep sea forces are beyond Sea 2-4!" Iowa said excitedly.

Iowa's words resonated with Nagato: "Exactly! If the Admiral hadn't called us back, we might already be in the 3-3 area by now."

Akatsuki and the others were startled by what Iowa and Nagato said. At this moment, Yuudachi said, "Don't be surprised. The seniors were already very strong, and with the added boost from the Admiral's Soul Network, they dared to say such things. By the way, what do you think of the Admiral's Soul Network?"

Electricity: "It's very heartwarming."

Lei: "I feel safe"

Xiang: "Trustworthy"

Xiao: "Very powerful, it makes me feel like I can compete with the heavy cruisers of the Abyss."

Yuudachi: "Actually, the Admiral's Soul Network has other uses, which you will experience for yourselves later. What I want to tell you is that after you conquer areas like 1-4 or 2-4, the Admiral's Soul Network can be upgraded."

"So powerful?" The four children were shocked at the same time. They had never even heard of a soul network that could be upgraded in the deep sea.

"Alright, Yuudachi. If you keep talking, then I, the Admiral, will really have no secrets left. By the way, since you're all here, I have something to announce. After careful consideration, I've decided to appoint Yamato as my secretary ship. During the time I'm not at the naval base, Yamato will manage Maizuru in my place. Does anyone have any objections?" Mikami Hiroyu brought up the matter of the secretary ship, asking for the opinions of the others.

"I agree. Let Yamato be the secretary ship. After all, the admiral can decide on such matters," Iowa said nonchalantly. However, there was still a trace of other special emotions in Iowa's heart, but he quickly put them out of his mind.

The other ship girls in the fleet all agreed that Yamato should serve as the secretary ship. After all, Yamato has always done the work of a secretary ship, so it is well-deserved for Yamato to serve as the secretary ship.

"Since everyone agrees, from this moment on, Yamato will be the secretary ship of our Maizuru Naval Base."

After Mikami Hiroyu finished speaking, Yamato also said, "I will do my best to do my job as the secretary ship. Please take good care of me in the future!"

Thus, Yamato became Mikami Hiroyu's secretary ship, and Yamato also helped Mikami Hiroyu a great deal in this role.

Mikami Hiroyu: "Alright, enough of that. Let's go eat. Mamiya's dinner should be ready soon!"

Iowa led several ship girls whose appetites had drastically decreased towards the cafeteria.

"By the way, Yamato, did you and Taihou feel a special power in your bodies?" After Iowa and the others left, only Yamato and Mikami Hiroyu remained. Mikami Hiroyu then asked this question.

Just as Yamato returned to Maizuru with the fleet, Mikami Hiroyu sensed a familiar power beneath Yamato and Taihou. Had he not been able to clearly perceive the flow of any power in the event, he might not have noticed the changes in Yamato and Taihou.

The power that suddenly appeared on Yamato and Taihou was magical energy, specifically the magical energy of Mikami Hiroyu. Just like the Nozomi Cards, the magic they used utilized Mikami Hiroyu's magical energy. If Mikami Hiroyu hadn't been able to clearly perceive the flow of any power in an event, he truly wouldn't have been able to discover this; after all, who wouldn't be unfamiliar with their own power?

"Admiral, I was just about to tell you! Right after we finished conquering Sea Area 2-4, and after your soul network was strengthened again, this power kept appearing in my body. Is there any danger associated with that power, Admiral?" Yamato asked the question that was on her mind after Mikami Hiroyu raised it.

"Don't worry about that. The power that appeared in your body is not dangerous at all. It comes from my body. I just don't know why it appeared after you and Taihou's bodies." Yu Shen Haoyu was a little confused.

"The mysterious power that appeared in my body comes from the Admiral?"

"It's hard to explain in a short time. Call Da Feng tonight and come to the Admiral's office. I'll explain it to you then! Let's go eat first!" Mikami Hiroyu said, scratching his head.

"Okay, Admiral," Yamato said, not pressing the matter further. He followed behind Mikami Hiroyu, knowing that as long as this mysterious power posed no danger, that was enough.

Yu Shenhao took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and looked at the sea, which had darkened.

"Admiral, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's probably just my imagination!"

Since I skipped playing games and managed to update four times a day on Sunday, please give me some flowers! Please give me a tip!

Chapter 142 Little Northerner is So Cute!

Yu Shen Haoyu had sensed a faint aura from the deep sea, but it quickly disappeared. Yu Shen Haoyu assumed it was the lingering resentment of the deep sea creatures he had previously destroyed, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But little did Mikami Hiroyu know that his feeling was correct. After he left, a fair-skinned little girl appeared on the shore. If Yamato or Mikami Hiroyu were here, they would immediately recognize that this fair-skinned little girl was none other than the Northern Princess, the deep-sea flagship that Yamato and her companions had previously conquered in the 2-4 sea area.

When Yamato and the others left the 2-4 sea area to return to Maizuru, Little Northern Princess couldn't bear to leave Kaga's Gale. So she secretly followed behind Yamato and the others. Fortunately, although Little Northern is a little girl, she is a high-ranking individual of the Abyssal Fleet, possessing abilities far beyond those of ordinary Abyssal Fleets—Northern Princess. Concealing her Abyssal aura was incredibly easy for her.

After arriving in Maizuru with Yamato and the others, Kita didn't reveal herself immediately but instead hid somewhere. She secretly observed Kaga, but soon her attention shifted to Mikami Hiroyu. Kita didn't know why, but she felt a sense of closeness with Mikami Hiroyu that she only ever felt with her older sister, Harbor Princess. Even though the other was a human slightly taller than her, and the toy her sister had mentioned, why did that human feel such a strong sense of closeness to her, even stronger than the closeness emanating from her sister, Harbor Princess?

Xiao Beifang originally only wanted a few Gale fighter jets before returning to her sister Harbor Princess's base. However, the appearance of Mikami Hiroyu sparked a strong curiosity in Xiao Beifang. Furthermore, Xiao Beifang had a feeling that Mikami Hiroyu was a very important person to her, even more important than the Gale fighter jets, just like her sister.

Although Xiao Beifang was curious, she knew it wasn't appropriate for her to appear in front of those ship girls right now. So, she found a place where it was easy to hide and hid.
