Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

116. The Perfect Yandere Girl

After sending the destroyers home and chatting for a while with the Japanese beauty Akagi who was standing at the door to greet him, Xue Cheng returned to his prestigious residence.

In fact, Xue Cheng was a little nervous when he saw Akagi.

The experiences of the past few days made him realize that he was not the supreme being in the naval base. Many ship girls coveted him and were ready to overthrow him at any time.

So when chatting with Chicheng, the angel and the devil in Xue Cheng's heart were also having a heated debate.

If Akagi asks me to stay later, should I agree right away or decline slightly?

It has to be said that Xue Chengshi is not really a gentleman. It is very rare for him to be able to maintain restraint until now given his weak willpower.

So when he saw Akagi, whom he had always liked when playing games, the string of reason in his heart instantly broke.

However, to Xue Cheng's surprise, unlike those wedding ships that wanted to swallow him, perhaps because there were children present, Akagi behaved very rationally. He only expressed concern for his ankle injury, reminded him to be careful on the way back, and then went into the room with the destroyers.

It seems that not all shipgirls worship the admiral as if he were a god. Perhaps I'm being a little too self-indulgent. Walking down the dimly lit path, Xue Cheng reflected on his own inflated mentality.

But why did the footsteps echo? Xue Cheng looked around, and this place didn't seem like a structure that could produce an echo.

"It's not an echo." A flat voice came from behind, scaring Xue Cheng so much that he almost jumped up. He turned around quickly and saw Fu Bo standing behind him, looking at him with slightly puffed cheeks, seeming a little angry.

"Although the Admiral always says that I have no presence and am usually ignored by everyone," Shiki sighed, a hint of resentment in his calm tone, "But even though I followed the Admiral for so long without being discovered, I still feel a little sad."

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. It's not because Fu Bo has no presence." Xue Cheng said with a dry laugh. He had been following him for so long without noticing it. Besides the fact that his attention was distracted, it was also related to Fu Bo's meager presence, which was comparable to that of the heroine in a certain animation.

But even Xue Cheng knew that such words should never be said.

Hmm? No, that's not the point. Why is Fu Bo following me?

"Fu Bo, is there something wrong?" Xue Cheng pointed to a bench not far away, "Go sit over there and talk."

"It's not a big deal. I just haven't seen the Admiral for a long time and wanted to chat with him." Fu Bo walked over and sat down next to Xue Cheng. She tilted her head, stared at Xue Cheng, and casually brushed aside a strand of hair. She said softly, "The Admiral is still the same as before, he hasn't changed at all."

"Really?" Xue Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth. This was a topic he didn't want to touch. "Fu Bo must want me to become better, right? I will work hard."

"No." Fu Bo's answer startled Xue Cheng. He thought he would be criticized.

"Why is the admiral so surprised?" The girl looked at Xue Cheng's expression, covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"Because Fu Bo seems to be the first person to say so." Xue Cheng shrugged: "I still have some self-awareness. I was indeed not a qualified admiral before."

"No." Shikibo shook his head and said seriously, "The Admiral has always done a great job. Of course, if the Admiral has the confidence to do even better, everyone will be even happier."

Xue Cheng scratched his head. It was certainly a good thing to have someone recognize him, but the problem was that Xue Cheng believed that what he had done was absolutely not worthy of Fu Bo's evaluation.

"Look, didn't I always call everyone to my office to change clothes for me?" Xue Cheng said with a wry smile, "If that's all I'm talking about, then I'm not a good person, am I?"

"But, many of those ships are the admiral's wedding ships, right?" Shiki blinked. "Between husband and wife, there's nothing wrong with just such a thing."

"Those shipgirls who returned from a major attack and clearly needed immediate treatment were assigned to serve as secretary ships by me. Don't you think this is excessive?"

"It's only the ship suit that's damaged. When the ship suit is deployed, the ship girl's body won't be harmed until it's completely destroyed. Besides, the admiral only does it once in a while, so it's not really anything excessive."

"What about having Veneto demonstrate launching a torpedo and having Hood stuff a cat in public? Bullying is always wrong, right?"

"Isn't the Admiral already reflecting on this?"

"Well, that large construction project used up all the resources, preventing everyone from even completing their supply runs. We can only wait for resource quotas from headquarters. Can that be forgiven?"

"A large construction... that can't be helped. If the naval base is to become stronger, it needs more companions to join. Sister Richelieu, Sister Missouri, Sister Washington, and so many others were all built by the admiral, and they all made outstanding contributions in the battle to suppress the deep-sea flagship. Judging from this alone, the admiral is not wrong."

"..." Xue Cheng was speechless. Being tolerated and affirmed without any bottom line was not a good feeling, especially since Fu Bo was a yandere girl. This was definitely a dangerous signal.

Oh no, I remember Fumi being a shipgirl with a 100-point favorability rating. Xue Cheng felt increasingly guilty, and he hurriedly searched his memory for his glorious battles.

"Well... I've been married to so many destroyers and submarines, what do you think, Shiki?"

"Eh?" Fukibo's expression finally showed a hint of hesitation. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly said, "Well, maybe in the eyes of the Admiral and everyone else, destroyers and submariners are just children, but shipgirls are very special beings. You can't just judge them by their appearance."

"A significant portion of destroyers and submarines have a childish appearance, and this hasn't changed even after decades. However, when these shipgirls, who appear to be little girls, grow up and are able to properly understand love, can't they get married like other women?"

"So, I don't think the admiral's actions are wrong."

"..." Xue Cheng was completely speechless. Although he could see that Fu Bo was a little insincere at the end, there was no need to pursue perfection in some things. At least Fu Bo showed his willingness to tolerate all his shortcomings.

If Shiki isn't a destroyer, if Shiki isn't a yandere, if...

Xue Cheng suddenly felt confused. Why was such a perfect girl a yandere?

117. Bond

"Well, I'm certainly happy that Shikibo thinks so."

Even though he knew that Fu Bo's words were not sincere, Xue Cheng was still a little happy. However, he still did not forget to remind himself from time to time that the girl in front of him was definitely not an innocent little loli.

Xue Cheng paused, then continued, "But you didn't come here just to tell me this, did you?"

"Of course not." Shikibo shook his head. "I just felt that the Admiral seemed very confused, so I wanted to give you some understanding and comfort."

"Confused?" Xue Cheng touched his chin. He didn't feel that way.

He learned financial knowledge from Wisconsin, and learned how to manage the garrison from Lexington. In addition, he was preparing for the deep-sea garrison recently. Although these things have not officially started yet, Xue Cheng feels that his life is already very fulfilling.

"The Admiral does have a lot to do, from escaping his inaction to establishing the Deep Sea Guardhouse," Fu Bo said calmly. "But he's only doing these things because they're right in front of him. Or perhaps it's because he's lost in thought that he wants to do them."

Xue Cheng was a little surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Shikibo looked at him intently. "If the tutelary fort doesn't have to worry about anything, what will the admiral do?"

Of course, I slacked off all day, bullied battleships and destroyers, and had fun with everyone!

Xue Cheng almost blurted out the words, but considering that such words would probably further lower his already not-so-good reputation, he finally took them back at the last moment.

"Doesn't the Admiral already have the answer?" Fu Bo seemed to see what Xue Cheng was thinking. She covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Don't worry, I won't ask the Admiral what he just thought of, although I have some guesses."

"But, consider it my selfish desire. I hope the Admiral can do what he enjoys. As for the tutelary fort... honestly, it's perfectly fine while the Admiral's away."

"Does Fukami mean that he doesn't want me to interfere in the affairs of the tutelary fort?"

Xue Cheng suddenly had an idea. Could it be that someone was worried that an amateur like him would mess up the well-organized tutelary fort? So they sent Fu Bo to persuade him?

"I don't know what the Admiral was thinking, but that's not the case."

Fu Bo shook his head. "From a work perspective, the admiral's role is indeed dispensable. Legal affairs are handled by Sister Washington, finances by Sister Wisconsin, logistics by Vesta and Leipzig, and the secretary ship, Sister Lexington, is in charge of the overall situation..."

As Fu Bo spoke, Xue Cheng felt more and more that he was a dispensable person, but at this moment, Fu Bo changed the subject.

"However, it is precisely because of the Admiral that we, the U-class, J-class, G-class, S-class..., can all become sisters in the same tutelary fort. So, please continue to serve as that link."

Xue Cheng smiled helplessly: "So what you said before was just to comfort me?"

"Yes, but not entirely." Fu Bo suddenly tilted his head and winked at Xue Cheng mischievously.

"The Admiral is certainly not as good as I said, but he's definitely not as bad as you said. At least in Shiki's heart, the Admiral has always been the best."

Xue Cheng turned his head silently. What should he do? She was so cute. This was too unfair!

"Okay, I've finished what I wanted to say, so I'll be leaving now."

Fubo stood up and casually picked up a fallen leaf that had landed on Xue Cheng's shoulder at some point. He chuckled and said, "Come to think of it, when I left behind the Admiral just now, Akagi-sister and Ayanami-sister didn't even notice. Maybe if I don't come back one night, they won't even notice."

"Then let's not do it." Xue Cheng said.

"The Admiral is such an idiot..." Fu Bo sighed and waved to Xue Cheng: "Well, I'll take my leave now."

Xue Cheng also stood up: "I'll take you home."

Fu Bo shook his head, rejecting Xue Cheng's suggestion, and said, "It's getting late. Admiral, you should go back and rest. The garrison is very safe... Of course, the Admiral's words may not be so safe."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because..." Fu Bo's gaze fell on Xue Cheng's lips, with a bit of weirdness in his eyes: "Admiral, you don't want to run into another brave sister, right?"

"..." As expected of a girl with yandere traits? Her insight was surprisingly sharp.

Xue Cheng looked at Fu Bo's back and subconsciously touched his lips.

When Xue Cheng returned to Shengwang's villa, the lights in front of the villa were on, illuminating the nearby roads as bright as day. Shengwang, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, stood in front of the door, like a husband-waiting stone. Seeing Xue Cheng from afar, Shengwang hurried to greet him.

"Master..." Shengwang just opened her mouth, and suddenly frowned. She calmly walked to Xue Cheng and gently held his arm.

"Don't worry, my foot is fine now." Xue Cheng thought Shengming was worried about his injury and said with a smile, "Besides, I just changed the medicine in Lexington."

Reputation remained silent. She knew that Xue Cheng's injury was not that serious at all. The previous diagnosis was just a lie in order to keep the admiral by her side longer. She supported Xue Cheng and they walked towards the villa together.

As they walked, the frown on Mingyu's face gradually relaxed. She tilted her head to glance at Xue Cheng's profile and suddenly smiled: "It's really beyond Mingyu's expectation that the master can come back tonight."

"I don't understand what you are saying." Xue Cheng turned his head away. He certainly knew what reputation meant.

"I'm not referring to Lexington," the head maid chuckled. "I can smell the scent of other girls on the master, but even so, the master still insisted on coming back. Reputation is really happy."

Xue Cheng turned his head and sighed: "Sometimes you are too tolerant of me, which makes me feel ashamed."

Reputation did not answer. Unlike Xue Cheng, she had lived in another world for more than 20 years and was influenced by completely different values ​​from here. For her, before becoming the admiral's wedding ship, she already knew that the admiral was a playboy and had long accepted the admiral's shortcomings.

The reputation was not at all surprised that the admiral was so popular, but since everyone had launched an attack on the admiral, the head maid felt that she should not remain silent any longer.

"Master." Shengyu bit her lip lightly. She looked at Xue Cheng who turned around and stopped outside the villa. Her eyes were full of water. "Welcome back. Do you want to eat first? Or take a shower first? Or... eat me first?"

118. Attack of the Maid

"..." Why did everyone start attacking me overnight? Could it be that they were provoked by King Kong and Richelieu?

Xue Cheng was speechless. King Kong was a stubborn fool, while Richelieu was a passionate and bold French girl. She lived up to her name, so Xue Cheng was not surprised by their proactive attacks.

Although Lexington is a gentle and virtuous perfect wife, it is precisely because of this that the act of attacking him does not seem out of place. After all, the ideal perfect wife for most men is a lady in bed... ahem.

But how come even the dignified and elegant head maid took the initiative?

"I just had a snack at Lexington's place. I'm not hungry yet."

Xue Cheng felt that he had to save the face he had lost tonight: "But on the way back, I stopped by Yong Meng's house and sent the J-series destroyers home. I walked so much and sweated a lot, so I should take a shower first."

The head maid looked a little disappointed. The weather was hot and everyone was bathing frequently. She had naturally considered that the bath water had already been prepared. Reputation nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Yes, Reputation understands."

After entering the room, Shengyu took Xue Cheng to the bathroom, took a bathrobe, towels and cleaning supplies, and said, "Master, is there anything else you need?"

"Yes." Shengyu was ready to go out and wait, but to her surprise, Xue Cheng gave a positive answer.

"Master?" Reputation looked at him puzzledly.
