Chapter 6 Always Encountering in Unexpected Places

The red-haired girl squinted her eyes slightly, as the pair of figures were more familiar than anything else. After a long silence, she said: "They are not siblings; they are the admiral and the ship girl."

How is that possible? He has never given anyone a name, although he does have a nickname, that unseemly admiral. I came up with that name myself; I was never called Qin Ying before. The original name was quite unpleasant, so I changed it later. Whether it was the original name or the current one, there is no sense of belonging at all, so I just changed it whenever I wanted.

At this moment, she was somewhat puzzled, thinking, wasn't that bastard supposed to be dead

My dear Ying

To acknowledge the admiral is to sign a contract of servitude, a saying that has been passed down among those free ship girls. The red-haired girl is now considered a free ship girl, and at this moment, she is climbing up the ship from the sea via the rope ladder of the passenger ship. Nowadays, any vessel daring to navigate the seas generally requires protection, and she is there to safeguard the passenger ship from the deep-sea ship girls. Being without an admiral signifies freedom, a lack of constraints, and the absence of any need to maintain a certain image. At this moment, she has climbed aboard the passenger ship and is sitting on the floor of the corridor without any regard for her appearance. After staying like this for several minutes, she twisted the wet cuffs of her pants and then walked into the room that had been specially prepared for her.

Hmm

However, after saying so much, you still haven't mentioned why you left the garrison.

As the girls who inherit the souls of warships, it is ultimately inappropriate to refer to them solely by the names of the warships. Although each girl is unique, the distinction is akin to that between Siamese cats and Ragdoll cats. After all, if several girls who have inherited the same warship soul stand together, it would be quite difficult to differentiate them without names. Such situations often arise when multiple naval bases form a joint fleet. Therefore, it is common for the admiral to give each of his girls a unique name, rather than merely using the name of the warship soul they have inherited. Without names, it would be quite difficult to distinguish them, and such situations frequently occur when several naval bases come together to form a joint fleet. Thus, it is generally the case that the admiral will assign a separate name to each of his girls, rather than simply relying on the name of the warship soul they have inherited.

It is not a destroyer, but a battleship

She went to the cabin in the morning, and when she returned at noon, she was in high spirits. Given this situation, it would not be surprising if she were to be taken away one day.

Night patrols are much more arduous than those during the day. In the past, whenever it was the other party's turn, they would always sigh and complain; never would there be someone so eager to volunteer as today. She asked, "What on earth is going on?"

I was listening to someone tell a story. Although that person lacked literary flair, it was unexpectedly interesting. He said he would tell me in the afternoon, and initially, he wasn't planning to continue, but after I gazed at him with eager eyes, he agreed. He is a good person

The place where they are located is the superstructure of the passenger ship, and from the corridor, one can see the deck below. Pointing at a pair of an adult and a little girl on the deck, she said: "The one on the deck with a little girl looks like they should be siblings; if they were father and daughter, the daughter wouldn't be that big. He is telling a story to his sister, and then I heard it and asked if I could listen too, and he agreed, so I listened for the whole morning"

The red-haired girl tidied her bangs in front of the mirror. Although she is a ship girl, and even referred to by some as a weapon, the girl's desire for beauty is not lacking.

"No way, your current name is Qin Ying, isn't it given to you by your admiral?"

The red-haired girl changed into a set of dry clothes, ran her hands through her hair behind her neck to lift her long hair out from inside her top, then shook her head and said: "Why did you leave the guardhouse? It's because the admiral suddenly disappeared, and we can't find him anywhere. Speaking of which, the upcoming patrol mission is for Little Purple, where has she gone?"

How is it? The route.

No one would leave the naval base simply because they are not valued, right? We are not like humans, whose hearts are easily swayed. The hearts of us ship girls are as strong as steel; even exposure to sun and rain merely leads to rust. In fact, the naval base used to be quite large, but only a few were truly valued. Some ship girls were highly regarded when they first arrived, participating in exercises and serving as secretary ships. Everyone worked hard and quickly grew stronger, but who would have thought that as they became powerful, even to an unparalleled extent, they would suddenly be cast aside? It is not so much abandonment as it is a sense of disconnection; suddenly, everything seems unrelated to you—no more exercises, no need for you in sorties, and then it just ends up like that.

Qin Ying ah

At that moment, the red-haired girl was unbuttoning her soaked shirt, preparing to change into a dry outfit. When she heard the conversation, she was drying her hair with one hand holding a dry towel. After a moment of hesitation, she said: "Yes, there are."

At this moment, a blonde girl was already sitting there in the room

Indeed, I find it strange now that I think about it, especially since we have been out for such a long time; it always feels like our naval base is out of place compared to the other naval bases outside.

The blonde-haired girl was taken aback, as this did not align with what she had heard. However, considering that there could be strange naval bases, she asked: "What is your naval base like?"

Such a small battleship? Never mind, it has nothing to do with me. In any case, just help me take charge for a while.

Currently, there are many naval bases in existence, as deep-sea ship girls may appear at any time. Essentially, a naval base has been established wherever there is human activity. Their role as escorts for passenger ships is primarily to guard against any potential threats and unforeseen circumstances. In reality, their work does not involve significant danger that would lead them to the brink of sinking.

Zi displayed a startled expression and said, "Ship girl? Oh, then what type of destroyer is that little girl?"

"That's quite impressive. Speaking of which, I have never asked you why you left the naval base. You mentioned that your admiral might not even remember you. Did you leave because you felt unappreciated?"

The golden-haired girl, filled with curiosity, asked: "So what exactly do you do at the naval base? Are there drills and expeditions every day? Is there any danger in launching operations to suppress the nearby deep-sea ship girls?"

Do not call me that, wait a moment, it is your turn for the task, next it will be your turn to patrol, and I will take over the shift at night

Indeed, there are all the naval bases. In the past, there were admirals who wanted to recruit me, but I turned them down. Speaking of which, Qin Ying, you used to have a naval base, didn't you

The blonde girl leaned on the ship, swinging her legs, with her hands supporting her chin: "What a strange naval base."

Please help me take charge for a while, I will handle the patrol tonight

It is still the same; this route is inherently not dangerous, as there are naval bases along the way. Generally, if any situation arises, the deep-sea ship girls would have already been suppressed.

After leaving the room, she encountered Xiao Zi, who was a ship girl with a lively personality

Without exercises and expeditions, there is nothing happening. I am quite inconspicuous, having been brought to the port area by the admiral, and that is all there is to it. I have never engaged in combat, nor have I participated in any drills, and I haven't even had the opportunity to set out on a mission; there are simply too many people at the naval base. Among so many, I truly do not stand out at all. The only thing I can somewhat showcase is my air defense capability, but that is the most trivial of abilities. Admiral, I rarely have the chance to see you, but perhaps you do not even recognize me.

What kind of person is it really

In the impression of many, the red-haired girl, who has always been easy to talk to, simply refused, her gaze fixed on the pair on the deck: "No, this time absolutely not, really not."

My previous naval base, how should I put it, was a formidable establishment. You might think I am boasting, but just imagine, it was a base where even fast battleships might not have had the opportunity to launch an attack
