Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Xue Cheng took a curious look and found that the cover of the gift box was a few beautiful two-dimensional girls in school uniforms. However, the cover was clearly marked with the words "all ages", so it should be just an ordinary love-raising game. He looked at Tirpitz, who was just angry and suddenly smiled, and secretly sighed at how quickly she changed her expression.

"Not just my sister and the Admiral, we've actually prepared gifts for everyone." Xiao Zhai said proudly, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Hua, and I bought them with our pocket money."

Seeing Xiao Zhai tilting her head back with an expression that said, "Come and praise me!", Xue Cheng promptly patted her head and praised her: "Xiao Zhai is so well behaved and sensible. Unlike some other girls who just do nothing all day, do some..."

Considering that Xiao Zhai was still a child, Xue Cheng hesitated and did not mention the matter of Tirpitz drawing his own book.

Although Xiao Zhai may have learned the whole story from the group.

After dinner, Xiao Zhai and his two companions distributed gifts to everyone in the cafeteria, and then ran out together, saying that they were going to deliver the gifts. Rodney, who looked haggard, half leaned on his sister Nelson's shoulder and shared his experiences during this period with everyone.

"Children...children are so scary!" Rodney said, his expression aching for words. "They're always full of energy, always full of vitality, and always possessing a strong curiosity about things they've never seen before."

"Can you imagine? When I walk, I have to keep my eyes on the side all the time, making sure I can't take my eyes off them for a moment, otherwise..."

"Just one turn." Rodney almost cried, "Just one turn. When you turn your head again, you will find that one of the children who was following you is gone."

"Eh?" Wichita, sitting nearby with her chin in one hand, said curiously, "Even though Xiaoluo and the others are a little young, they're still shipgirls after all. Besides, they have cell phones. Even if they get lost, there's no need to worry, right? Do you really think they're human children?"

"You don't have to remind me of this!" Rodney glared and said depressedly, "I'm worried about something else. Once, when I was crossing the street, Xiaohua disappeared and I couldn't get through on the phone. When I finally found her in an alley with the help of passers-by, there was actually..."

One Hundred and Sixty-Two: Farewell

Washington, a cold and beautiful woman with long white hair, held the gift Xiaohua gave her, slowly unwrapped it, and said casually: "One, or several people with broken legs?"

Rodney looked at her in surprise: "How did you know?"

Washington looked at the chocolate gift box in his hand, thought for a moment, took out a piece and handed it to Xue Cheng's mouth. He watched him open his mouth and bite it without thinking, and smiled faintly: "I taught her that when you meet bad people, you should break their legs."

Lexington laughed in silence.

Xue Cheng didn't have any special reaction. The ship girls were all kind-hearted girls with pure hearts. They would not rely on their power to oppress the weak. There must be a reason why those people had their legs broken by Xiaohua.

For example, child trafficking, or just plain perversion.

Holding the chocolate in his mouth, Xue Cheng said vaguely, "Just breaking the leg? I remember Washington and North Carolina both had axes. Doesn't Xiaohua have one?"

“…” Rodney leaned on Nelson’s shoulder and shivered.

"The Admiral is terrible! He actually encouraged Xiaohua to use an axe? How can you educate a child like this?"

Bismarck looked at her and recalled Rodney's terrifying expression of excitement, almost madness, after he hit him with a cannon during a previous exercise, and when he was teaching Xiao Luo how to fire, he put his own photo on the target.

It seems that you are not qualified to talk about admiral?

"Ah, I have told Xiaohua about this matter." The girl, wearing a long dress and long pants, with her hair faintly pink and draped over her shoulders and back like bird feathers, crossed her legs and fiddled with the unopened gift box.

She stared at Tirpitz for a long time, her eyes piercing, until the girl was completely creeped out. Then she looked away and said calmly, "Using an axe will easily stain it with blood, and the bloody smell will linger for a long time, making it difficult to clean. Just hit it with your fist."

"They're human after all. Even if they don't use weapons, the result will be the same."

Yixian and Chongqing brought tea and poured it for everyone, then said, "On this point, I think Miss North Carolina is right. Although we don't need to show mercy to evildoers, we still shouldn't go too far in our actions."

"Yes, I heard that some ship girls are so extreme in their actions that their hearts are contaminated with filth and they degenerate into deep-sea ship girls." Chongqing also said this.

"If that's the case." The girl in the shorts and shirt blew a kiss to Xue Cheng and said charmingly, "If the Admiral refuses to accept my love, Cologne will probably fall too."

Considering that the admiral was exercising, Washington only fed him two pieces of chocolate, put away the box, took Yixian's tea and drank it slowly.

Upon hearing Colon's words, Washington immediately and mercilessly exposed them, saying, "If that were the case, our tutelary fort would have become the Deep Sea Tutelary Fort long ago. Why would we even need to wait to join?"

Cologne curled his lips and was about to fight back when a voice came from the direction of the door: "Hmm, I thought I heard someone calling my name just now?"

The ominous aura quickly eroded the originally harmonious atmosphere. Xue Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he looked towards the cafeteria door. The girl, who had changed back into her tight leather outfit, exposing a large area of ​​pale skin to the air, seemed to be out of tune with everything around her. She was leaning against the door frame, looking at him with a half-smile.

Xue Cheng stood up and said, "What's going on? Come in and talk."

"Well, I won't go in." Noticing that the atmosphere in the cafeteria had become tense since his appearance, he shrugged and said, "I don't have anything important to do here. I just wanted to say hello."

"I'm leaving now. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Huh? Go? Where are you going?" Xue Cheng looked at her in surprise, walked over quickly and came to her front.

Ever since this guy settled down in the Shinano family, he seemed to have been infected by Tirpitz. He hid in the yard all day and refused to go out. Apart from three meals a day, his only entertainment was to sit by the side and drink, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Why are you leaving so suddenly? Are you not satisfied with Shinano's hospitality?

"If you just leave like this, wouldn't the equipment and ring I gave you be for nothing?"

Xue Cheng blurted out a word that made his face turn dark instantly, and also made the girls following behind him laugh and cry.

Noticing the strange look on his face, Xue Cheng quickly said, "Well, I can give you the equipment. No one can use it anyway. But if you want to leave, can you return the Ring of Covenant to me? To be honest, I've recently felt that the ring's reserves are not so..."

"Say that again?" The slightly low voice was icy cold, like the cold wind blowing from the depths of hell. There was a crazy murderous look on his face, and it looked like he might pounce at any time, cut Xue Cheng apart with a hatchet and take him away.

"I didn't say anything." Xue Cheng's instinct for survival made him make the right choice. He looked at the ring on his finger with heartache, wondering whether he should use force to keep her.

"What an idiot..." She muttered softly, then lifted her long hair that was draped over her shoulders and coughed lightly. Although half of her face was covered by her hair, it could be seen that she looked a little uncomfortable at the moment.

"Have you forgotten what we talked about earlier regarding the Deep Sea Tutelary Fort?"

"Yes, there is also this matter. How could I forget it?" Xue Cheng lightly hit his palm with his fist, as if he suddenly realized something.

I gritted my teeth and suddenly felt like hitting someone.

Lexington pressed his forehead and said, "Miss, are you leaving this time to gather deep-sea ship maidens and establish a garrison?"

He nodded and said, "It's been so long since the Deep Sea Incident. If I'm not mistaken, the escaped Deep Sea Fleet Girls should have gone dormant. With my abilities, I can easily find them and gather them under my command. I can even... well, forget about that. After all, I have no clue right now."

Xue Cheng finally understood her intention after selectively ignoring the last, incoherent sentence. After a moment's thought, he said, "If you go alone, what if you encounter shipgirls from other tutelary forts, or encounter a deep-sea monster? Can you handle it? Otherwise, I can send a few people to accompany you."

"Who do you think I am?" He looked at Xue Cheng with disdain, raised his chin and said proudly, "I am the Lord of the Deep Sea Flagship. I have only suffered at your hands. Which of the other ship girls in the garrison is I serious about?"

"As for the deep-sea monsters..." A ferocious glint flashed in her eyes. She licked her lips and smiled grimly, "They're just some broken-up dregs. I've already completed the missing equipment. If I really hit them, I might not be afraid of them!"

"At least... if you can't win, you can always escape."

163. Massage

He sounded arrogant at the beginning, but in the last sentence, he revealed his guilty conscience.

After all, she was alone and without the protection of a powerful escort fleet. Even in her prime, she could not face the large number of enemies.

What's more, as a battleship, it does not have anti-submarine capabilities and will be stretched thin when faced with large-scale air raids.

In the final analysis, the deep-sea ship girls have become the enemy of humans and ship girls only because of their huge numbers, mysterious immortality, and indifference to death. Once they are left alone, or if there is a lack of strong individuals in the formation, they will become experience points.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone." Xue Cheng shook his head and insisted: "It's better to bring the escort fleet."

He said helplessly, "Actually, I do want to, but have you ever considered how much control I will have over those deep-sea ship girls after they get rid of the entanglement of deep-sea resentment and regain their rationality?"

"It's okay if I'm the only one here. If they find out I'm accompanied by a ship girl, they might think I'm a traitor. Even if they don't attack us, they'll probably stay away from us."

"Aren't you considered a traitor now?" Lexington teased. "We provided your food, clothing, shelter, transportation, pocket money, and even your equipment. The purpose of this trip was to recruit new personnel and lay the foundation for our cooperation."

"That's different." He rarely showed a trace of embarrassment.

Xue Cheng said thoughtfully: "If I were one of those deep-sea ship girls, I would kill you first... Speaking of which, since we are not sure whether we can maintain dominance over those deep seas, why not wait and see before making any plans?"

"No." Washington's voice sounded at the same time. The two looked at each other and lowered their eyes silently.

Washington understood and took the initiative to explain: "After the incident, the remaining deep-sea ship girls have probably hidden themselves, and those deep-sea monsters will definitely not let them go. Now there is still a short time. Once they find all the deep-sea ship girls and eliminate them, the next step will probably be to invade the coastal waters, just like the deep-sea ship girls before..."

North Carolina narrowed her eyes and said, "Besides, we're not sure if the split Deep Sea Fleet Girl can recover from the ocean after being sunk. So... we must put the Deep Sea Naval Base plan on the agenda as soon as possible."

"That's it." He stood up straight, looked at Xue Cheng and said, "Please explain to Shinano. That little girl looks mature, but her mental age is probably like Veneto. She finally has a sister, and now she suddenly has to do something dangerous. I'm afraid she..."

"Don't worry, I'll speak for you on the Shinano side." Xue Cheng was helpless. Before leaving, he had to criticize Veneto. He didn't know what the grudge between the two of them was.

"Okay then, I'll be leaving now." He waved his hand, stopping Xue Cheng who wanted to follow him: "Forget about the farewell or anything like that. The relationship between us is just an exchange of interests. Don't act like we're too familiar with each other."

Xue Cheng hesitated for a moment, then tried to say, "In that case, can I return the Ring of Promise..."

"Goodbye!" He turned around and left without any hesitation, walking along the path in front of the door towards the port, and soon disappeared from sight.

"Tsk." Xue Cheng looked at the direction where he disappeared, lowered his eyes slightly, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "The dignified Deep Sea Flagship actually coveted my ring."

"Admiral..." Lexington didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking about this, his own admiral had become shockingly slow to a certain extent.

You must always do what you promised to others. After chatting with Washington and the others for a while, Xue Cheng said goodbye to everyone and went to Shinano's home with Lexington.

After lunch, it was the hottest time of the day. When Xue Cheng and Lexington arrived at Shinano's house under the scorching sun, before they even entered the door, Shinano, who was dressed neatly, ran out in a panic.

"Admiral? Lexington?" Shinano was startled when he saw the two people walking towards him, and then he said anxiously: "Oh no! Onee-sama is missing!"

Have you called me "Sister"? Xue Cheng exchanged a silent look with Lexington. She didn't look like the kind of person who could handle things easily, so...

Shinano is really an idiot, right?

Lexington put his hands on Shinano's shoulders, forcing the girl to calm down, and explained, "Don't worry, it's okay. She's just out for a while and will be back soon."

"Yes." Xue Cheng also said, "Shinano also knows about the alliance between our tutelage and the Deep Sea, right? This time we went out to collect some Deep Sea ship girls."

Shinano's expression turned grim. "The sea outside is very dangerous right now. I heard that those deep-sea monsters are gathering and forming a massive beast tide. I think our next target will be us. If we go out now, what if we run into them..."

Xue Cheng was also a little worried, but now was not the time to worry with Shinano. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she is not a fool. If she dares to go out at this time, she must be sure to get out safely. You must have confidence in her."

"But..." Shinano was still hesitant.

"No buts." Xue Cheng interrupted Shinano and looked at her seriously.

"..." The two looked at each other for a while, and Shinano finally looked away first and said in a low voice: "Admiral, I understand."

Although her attitude softened, Shinano looked obviously unhappy. Xue Cheng and Lexington stayed with her for a while until Shinano said she wanted to take a nap, and then they said goodbye and left.

Walking under the shade of the trees beside the road, Xue Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's still early, why don't we go to the gym and exercise again?"
