Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Xue Cheng laughed and tried to change the subject: "Don't listen to Bennington's nonsense, actually..."

"Admiral... don't like Molly?" Revenge asked.

Although the tone remained flat and without any ups and downs, Xue Cheng could hear a hint of anger hidden in the words of revenge.

Even the "three-no" girls are not emotionless robots. It's just that due to some reasons and settings, they cannot understand and express their emotions well. If someone really treats them as wooden people who can't get angry, then they are in trouble.

Feeling the gaze from behind him become more fierce, the chattering eagle flapped its wings as if it was about to pounce on him. Xue Cheng smiled bitterly: I can't agree, and I can't refuse. What do you want?

"It's not that I don't like it." Xue Cheng scratched his hair and said helplessly, "It's just that some things need to be done step by step and can't be done overnight."

"But." Yong Meng sat on the armrest of the sofa and looked at Xue Cheng doubtfully: "Didn't the Admiral go through this stage before giving us the rings?"

Bennington followed him back to the living room. After hearing Yongmeng's words, she echoed him, saying, "That's right. We've all gone through a lot with the Admiral to become his marriage ship, so why do we still have to go through this process?"

"..." Xue Cheng was speechless. From the perspective of the ship girl, this was indeed the case, but he himself had no sense of reality at all.

What they called acquaintance, understanding and love was just a game experience for Xue Cheng.

"Then..." Xue Cheng said tentatively: "If Molly has no objection, tonight?"

Revenge nodded calmly, but Xue Cheng could feel the overwhelming murderous aura in the living room, which was terrifying.

Don't want your sister to get hurt, but don't want to take revenge on yourself? What a complicated mentality...

Xue Cheng felt that he had grasped their thoughts, and quickly spoke to make amends: "But I have other things to do today, let's talk next time when we are free, okay?"

"Next time..." Revenge tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, then, Admiral...you must remember."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I say." Xue Cheng nodded vigorously.

After hearing Xue Cheng's obviously perfunctory answer, the Jiaozis' expressions finally relaxed, except for Ticonderoga and Yongmeng, who had gloomy faces.

Next time for sure? It seems the admiral had said that to me as well.

……

After having breakfast with everyone, Xue Cheng left home at 8:30 in the morning with Essex's farewell.

"What should I do today?" Xue Cheng muttered to himself while walking aimlessly on the road, touching his chin.

After unloading the affairs of the garrison, even though he still insisted on exercising, Xue Cheng still had plenty of time to waste. In contrast, his life seemed to have lost its purpose all of a sudden.

After all, he is a young man in his early twenties, and he is not the type of person who can be satisfied by indulging in games or animations. It is also a torture for him to do nothing all day.

"This won't work. I need to find something to do. But what should I do?"

Xue Cheng thought silently.

The affairs of the naval base were handled by the shipgirls, and he only had to make important decisions himself. He didn't want to mess up the already well-organized work, so the rest was just entertainment...

"Summer Festival." A calm voice sounded from the side.

Xue Cheng's eyes lit up. He had never been abroad and had only seen the so-called summer festival in animations before. He really wanted to experience it.

"It's a good idea. Holding a festival that everyone can participate in can also be a good entertainment activity. I... um?" Xue Cheng subconsciously followed the voice and continued speaking, but he was stunned and looked to his side.

A girl with a ponytail was standing with her hands behind her back, a slight smile on her lips, and she tilted her head playfully as she looked at herself.

"Fu Bo?" Xue Cheng asked curiously, "Why are you here? No, when did you start following me?"

"Wow..." Shikibo puffed up her cheeks cutely and said a little unhappily, "I already called the Admiral when I came here just now, but it was you who ignored me without permission."

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't notice Fu Bo." Xue Cheng touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.

Fu Bo folded his arms, turned his body sideways, and glanced at Xue Cheng from the corner of his eyes, complaining:

"Anyway, I'm the kind of girl who has no sense of existence. No one would notice me even if I blend into the crowd. Humph, it's normal that the admiral didn't notice me. No need to apologize."

This is indeed true. Although if you look closely, Fukibo is also a beautiful girl with a very delicate and lovely appearance, the prerequisite is that you can notice her.

Perhaps it was Fu Bo's inherent talent? In short, she was indeed somewhat inconspicuous. If she didn't speak loudly or do something to attract attention, she would be difficult to detect even if she was around.

However, despite this fact, Xue Cheng was not stupid enough to really follow Fu Bo's words.

He quickly came to the girl, bent down slightly, put his hands on her shoulders, and said in a gentle tone: "That's not the case. Fu Bo is a lovely girl, no worse than anyone else."

"Although the admiral praised me, but..." After hearing Xue Cheng's words, Fu Bo still puffed up his cheeks and said unhappily: "The admiral didn't deny that I have no sense of existence."

"This..." Xue Cheng was speechless. He really had not thought of denying this established fact.

Seeing Fu Bo's pout rising higher and higher, Xue Cheng suddenly had an idea and said seriously, "Yes, I think lying about this matter is a very stupid decision."

“…” Fu Bo’s face darkened, she was really a little angry.

"Fu Bo really doesn't have much presence." Xue Cheng didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and continued to stimulate the girl's sensitive nerves:

"Normally, walking down the street, I'm like a speck of sand on the beach. Even if I see her, I subconsciously ignore her. Occasionally, when I encounter her, I'll think, 'Who is this girl? Is there such a person in the tutelary fort?' But..."

Seeing that Fu Bo was about to explode, Xue Cheng changed the subject and said, "But for me, the best Fu Bo is the one who has no sense of existence."

"I, your admiral, am a very selfish and greedy guy. Compared to those who like to show off their wives and girlfriends to others to gain a sense of superiority, I prefer my partner to belong to me alone, and it would be best if only I could see it, so."

"I love this kind of Fu Bo. I love it the most. I would say she is the most perfect goddess in my mind!"

"Eh? Girl, goddess, etc., you're exaggerating, Admiral..." Fu Bo's little face turned slightly red. Under Xue Cheng's not-so-clever language offensive, her fragile psychological defenses were easily broken, and she fell into a shy state.

Observing Fu Bo's reaction, Xue Cheng chuckled inwardly: "It actually worked?" Sure enough, it was easier to deal with a ship girl. If it were a human girl, it would be strange if such words could fool anyone.

256. Summer Celebration

"Really? The admiral is becoming more and more slick." After being shy, Fu Bo composed herself, pinched a strand of hair and played with it between her fingertips, and rolled her eyes at Xue Cheng coquettishly.

"I can't help it. I also want to be honest, but the actual situation doesn't allow it." Xue Cheng sighed with pretended helplessness: "You can see that everyone doesn't want me to be a wooden man. It's the same for Fu Bo, right?"

“…” Fu Bo was speechless.

Although he said that the admiral was smooth-talking, in reality, Shiki didn't dislike him and even liked him very much.

She once heard about the naval base of a wooden admiral. It was said that the admiral ignored more than a dozen ship girls who had a crush on him and went on a blind date and got married according to the arrangements made by his parents.

There are so many outstanding girls around him. Even if he doesn't want to open a great inner city like his own philandering admiral, he can at least choose a suitable ship girl as his wife.

But that wooden man only regarded the ship girls as relatives, sisters, and comrades, and had no other thoughts at all.

Shiki didn't mean to look down on the admiral, but every time she thought of those loser ship girls who were rumored to have attended the admiral's wedding and tried hard to hold back their tears to send wedding blessings to the ones they loved, she felt a pang of fear.

Fortunately, although her own admiral was a blockhead, he only had low emotional intelligence and was still fickle and greedy in his heart. This made her feel that there was still a glimmer of hope, and she really waited for the day when the admiral came to her senses.

However, although this is the truth, if I admit the legitimacy of the admiral's infidelity, it will undoubtedly make the already proud admiral even more arrogant.

Fu Bo curled his lips and complained quietly, "The Admiral is clearly quibbling."

Xue Cheng didn't deny it and said with a smile, "Let's put that question aside for now. How did Fu Bo get here? This area should be his residence, right?"

"Isn't there a rule in the garrison that prohibits coming here to play?" Fu Bo asked back.

"No, but judging from your personality, you don't seem like the type to come here and hang out alone." Xue Cheng shook his head and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong?"

"Should I say the Admiral is smart or stupid?" Fu Bo looked at Xue Cheng with a strange look: "Sometimes he is as dull as a piece of wood, and sometimes he is a bit clever."

Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows, but before he could refute, Fu Bo suddenly sighed and said, "But the Admiral is right. I do have something to do here."

"What's the matter?" Xue Cheng asked curiously.

"Summer Festival." Shiki blinked and said softly.

"Oh, it's the festival that Fu Bo just proposed to hold. Isn't this your idea?" Xue Cheng remembered his recent encounter with Fu Bo.

"Well, I really want to take the credit for this," Shikibo said, tilting his head, "but if I do that, Akagi-nee will beat me to death, right?"

"Was it Akagi's idea?" Xue Cheng was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips, and a mysterious look flashed in his eyes: "Let me guess, Akagi wants to enjoy the festival food, right?"

Fu Bo's face rarely showed hesitation.

Although I don't want to lower Akagi's already ridiculously low reputation, no matter how you look at it, such a suggestion coming from Akagi, who is usually lazy, eats snacks all day long, often holds small drinking parties, and is occasionally dragged by Kaga to practice archery, seems very suspicious.

Shiki thought for a moment and said tactfully, "Sister Akagi is the chief priest of the shrine. If she holds a festival, she will definitely be very busy and won't have much time... So this time, maybe it's really just to leave everyone with a good memory."

Probably, Fu Bo thought to himself.

Who would have thought that Akagi, the foodie, was also the chief priest of a shrine? By the way, is there actually a shrine at the tutelary fort?

Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows and told Fu Bo about his doubts, then received a big eye roll.

"Of course there's a shrine at the tutelary fort. Otherwise, Admiral, where do you think I got that miko costume? I'm a legitimate shrine maiden."

Shikibo said unhappily, "As for Sister Akagi... well, I admit that she's a bit off-kilter, a glutton, and she likes to drink..."

Xue Cheng suppressed his laughter as he watched Fu Bo seriously scold Akagi. However, at the end, the girl suddenly changed the subject:

"But even so, Sister Akagi is a qualified chief priest. Every year when the shrine holds a festival, it is thanks to Sister Akagi that everything is kept in perfect order."

Xue Cheng asked in surprise: "Oh? I didn't realize Fukiba thought so highly of Akagi."

"Of course, Akagi-sister and Nagato-sister are both leaders of our department." Shiki said, playing with the ends of her hair.

Xue Cheng understood: "So Fu Bo's appearance here was at Chi Cheng's behest?"

"This time, Sister Akagi wants to hold a summer festival for the entire tutelary fort to participate. This will require a lot of funding, manpower, and resources, as well as publicity. It's not something we can accomplish on our own, so I volunteered to discuss this with the Admiral."

Volunteering... well, if it weren't for Shikiba's initiative, Akagi probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person in the department, let alone let her come to him.

Xue Cheng thought to himself, and his eyes looking at Fu Bo became subtle unconsciously.

"Woo..." Fu Bo keenly noticed what Xue Cheng was thinking. His eyes became a little dangerous and his cheeks puffed up.

Xue Cheng smiled secretly, and suddenly felt that since Fu Bo became the marriage ship, his always plain expression seemed to have become more colorful. He didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Okay, since it's serious business, let's go find Akagi quickly." Xue Cheng touched the girl's head and said softly.

"Okay then." Fu Bo's expression quickly softened under Xue Cheng's touch. The two of them walked away slowly along a path, shoulder to shoulder.

……

The shrine is not located in a residential area, but on a hill on the east side of the island.

Just when Shikibo and Xue Cheng arrived, Miss Akagi, the qualified chief priestess mentioned by the girl, was sitting next to Yuan, leaning in Kaga's arms without caring about her image at all.

"Summer Festival... Akagi, why did you suddenly think of holding such a large-scale festival?" Kaga held a wine jug in her hand, but she didn't drink from it. Instead, she hooked her fingers around the strap of the wine jug and shook it gently.
