Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

“…” Xue Cheng looked up and looked at the unripe fruits faintly visible among the grape leaves above his head.

What should I do? This must be a hassle, right? It'll be like canvassing for votes, requiring me to roam the tutelary fort. I really want to refuse...

"Admiral!" Akagi's tone became heavier, and he said unhappily, "You said you would compensate me for the ring issue before, but now you're not willing to help with even the smallest thing?"

"Ring? What happened to the Admiral and Akagi?" Hearing the key words, the 1913 battlecruiser became alert.

As Battlecruiser 1913 finished speaking, the dining table, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Xue Cheng silently, with a strange look in their eyes.

"Stupid, idiot! Don't talk nonsense." Xue Cheng's cold sweat instantly flowed down, and Chicheng seemed to have noticed something, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She seemed to know how to blackmail the admiral into helping her.

Taking a deep breath, Chi Cheng was about to speak when Xue Cheng, who had sensed something was wrong, covered her mouth and said in a self-deprecating tone:

"Promise! I promise Akagi, I'll help you convince everyone. Don't say anything more, please..."

Akagi smiled triumphantly.

263. Full Moon

After finally calming Chicheng down, Xue Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He caught a glimpse of strange gazes falling on him from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly explained, "Well, Chicheng wants to hold a large celebration at the tutelary fort and wants to gain everyone's support, so..."

Akagi added, "It's not just verbal support. I hope everyone can help set up some snack stalls or something on the day of the celebration."

"Forget it." Chongqing held his chin with one hand, looking uninterested. "I'm already busy enough with the cafeteria, and I want to open a snack stand... Just let me go, okay?"

Ning Hai, whose cooking skills were second only to Yixian and who firmly held the second position in the department, crossed his arms and shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want it either. If I have time, I'd rather research new dishes."

Pinghai, who was lively in nature, was initially tempted, but when he heard his sister say that, he shook his head to refuse.

"Setting up a stall?" Jinan was quite interested. She was a person who could not sit still. She once set up a barbecue stall with her sisters on the beach, and the business was booming.

After a brief discussion, the three Daoqi sisters and Haiqi and Feihong decided to set up a barbecue stall like last time.

995 is a physically strong idiot who likes to stay at home and has no interest in setting up stalls.

Vulcan was only good at needlework. Although he knew some cooking skills, he could only fight Xue Cheng back and forth. When he finally got a chance to show his skills, he proposed to Akagi that he wanted to set up a stall to sell handicrafts.

The elegant Lady Cruiser was dismissive, and the 1913 Battlecruiser also rejected Akagi on the grounds that the fumes would damage the skin.

Ying Rui and Zhao He were also not interested, but did not give a clear refusal, just said they would think about it.

Danyang couldn't resist Sister Chicheng's pleading gaze and reluctantly agreed to help.

After a brief consideration, Yixian decided to set up a noodle stall and sell foods such as beef noodles.

After a lot of chattering, Xue Cheng was surprised to find that among the fifteen people in the department, half of them had clearly stated that they would participate in the stall-setting activity.

As a ship girl, I can actually get such strong support from them.

Although many people did not participate in the event because of Akagi, but just thought it was fun and could add some color to their somewhat dull lives, in Xue Cheng's opinion, it was already very rare.

Of course, the prerequisite for their participation is that Akagi can persuade the leaders of other factions to support this plan. However, having obtained Xue Cheng's support in advance, Akagi feels that he has already won the game.

After dinner, under the annoyed gaze of the cruiser and Chongqing, Xue Cheng took the initiative to take on the responsibility of sending Chicheng home.

In the summer evenings, it doesn’t get dark too quickly. Even when it’s almost eight o’clock, the sky is still dimly lit. Combined with the widespread street lights in the garrison, the journey home doesn’t seem difficult.

Xue Cheng looked at the girl beside him. Chicheng seemed to be in a good mood. She was humming a song and walking briskly. From time to time, she would turn around on tiptoe, or wave her sleeves and do a short dance that seemed strange to him but very graceful.

"Is Chicheng happy?" Xue Cheng asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm very happy." Chi Cheng trotted over to Xue Cheng, put his hands behind his back, bent over, and looked at him with a smile: "Because my plan is being realized step by step."

"Plan?" Xue Cheng couldn't bear to hear the word "plan" now. He looked at Chi Cheng warily and said, "What are you planning? Tell me quickly, or don't blame me for going back on my promise to you."

"Why are you so nervous, Admiral?" Akagi blinked and said innocently, "I just want to liven up the tutelary fort. Doesn't Admiral think the atmosphere here is too dead?"

"The deep-sea shipgirls are now in a difficult situation, and the pace of the deep-sea monsters' invasion is ridiculously slow. After that battle, according to observations, it will take at least three months for those monsters to regroup into a beast tide and attack again."

"Before this, except for a few shipgirls with official duties in the naval base, everyone else had to sit on the bench, at most occasionally clearing out lone monsters in the nearby waterways."

"Admiral, do you think this is really a good idea? We have plenty of funds anyway, so why not use some of it to do something meaningful?"

"A grand celebration will not only allow the Shipgirls to participate, but also allow those deep sea creatures to take this opportunity to integrate into the crowd."

"Admiral, you should have noticed something, right? Those deep sea creatures don't normally come out of the tutelary fort. They only come out for a stroll late at night when no one is around, deploying their warships and playing in the sea for a while."

"In the short term, this way of getting along does create clear barriers. Everyone doesn't bother each other, and there won't be any conflicts. But considering the long term, do you think this is really a good idea, Admiral?"

"..." Faced with Akagi's series of questions, Xue Cheng was caught off guard, but he had to admit that what Akagi said made sense.

After all, ship girls are not fighting machines. They have strong egos. When there is no war, it is really unbearable for them to sit in the naval base for several months.

When communicating with Lexington in the afternoon, Xue Cheng also heard that more and more ship girls have submitted applications to go out and travel together to human cities.

From this point of view, Akagi's point of view has been strongly confirmed.

As for the considerations regarding the deep-sea ship girls, Xue Cheng had to admit that Akagi had considered it more thoroughly than himself.

The process of taking down the... was so baffling that Xue Cheng still felt like he was dreaming.

She is obviously a ferocious and violent deep-sea flagship. Even if she has wisdom, she should not be like a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love. She becomes dazed by a few words of sweet talk from me and agrees to marry me.

Not to mention that in Xue Cheng's opinion, his rhetoric was ridiculously poor, and they seemed to be given away for free.

Xue Cheng did ask them indirectly for the reason, but the three deep-sea flagships, without exception, remained silent about his questions.

It was precisely because of this unknown that suspicion gradually arose that Xue Cheng rarely met with the three deep-sea flagships after marrying them. Even though he could vaguely sense the kindness emanating from them, he still remained cautious.

If we can use the celebration as an opportunity to bring the two sides closer, then...

Xue Cheng touched his chin and his eyes became subtle.

"The admiral's eyes are so obscene..." Akagi's voice came, waking Xue Cheng who was lost in fantasy.

Looking up, Akagi was covering his face with his sleeves, looking at him with disgust.

"Ahem, that's not the case." Xue Cheng quickly coughed twice and changed the subject: "I was just thinking, the department has already received support, can we lobby others tomorrow?"

He wanted to tease the admiral again, but since he was talking about business, Akagi put aside his joking mood and thought seriously: "This is the most urgent matter. Let's start with the department tomorrow. Let's get Bismarck's consent first, then we can talk about other things."

"If even that fussy and boring woman is willing to support it, then the entire department, or even the other factions within the garrison, should have no reason to object, right?"

The two of them walked and talked, and time passed slowly. Even though they deliberately slowed down their pace, they still arrived outside Akagi's house after twenty minutes.

"Admiral, would you like to come in and sit down?" Akagi invited.

It was completely dark. The weather was very good today, with no clouds in the sky. A full moon hung obliquely in the sky. Under the silver moonlight, the girl standing in front of him seemed particularly charming.

Xue Cheng swallowed his saliva. Although he was a little tempted, he also knew that no matter how much the ship girl liked him, she would not agree to further contact without the ring.

In that case, we might as well go back.

Xue Cheng shook his head and politely declined Chicheng's invitation. He then said hello and disappeared at the end of the path alone in the moonlight.

"Idiot..." Looking at Xue Cheng's back, Chicheng, who had not left for a long time, smiled and turned around and walked into the small courtyard behind him.

"Kaga! I'm back!"

"Welcome back, Akagi. How did things go with the summer festival?"

"Well, it was rejected as expected, but... hehe, Kaga, how about we plan a peace celebration?"

"what?!"

……

Everyone worked together to finish the post-dinner work. By the time Yixian sent Chongqing, the last one to leave, out the door, it was completely dark.

"The moon is so round today." Yixian leaned against the door frame, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said to himself.

In the past, the admiral was always missing, and would only come back occasionally in a hurry. Before Yixian could be happy, he would disappear silently again.

Therefore, every time the girl sees the full moon representing reunion, a trace of melancholy arises in her heart.

And now, even though the admiral no longer runs around, the time he has been here is still too short. Thinking of the admiral's figure when he sent Akagi away, even Yixian couldn't help feeling sad.

By now, the Admiral and Akagi should have arrived home, right? Yixian thought.

It's still early and they should not have rested yet. Besides, Kaga should be at home. After the admiral comes in, he should exchange a few words with Kaga, then pretend to be a gentleman and go to the living room to watch TV with them for a while. When the time is right, he will go back to the room with Akagi under Kaga's astonished gaze, right?

And then……

Yixian suddenly woke up from her fantasy. She covered her cheeks and felt the temperature was burning.

Really, what was I thinking!

Yixian stamped his feet in annoyance, then turned around and walked into the yard and bolted the door.

Just as he was about to lock the door, he heard footsteps. The rhythm sounded vaguely familiar, and the tone surprised Yixian immensely as they came to the door.

The door swayed slightly, as if someone outside was pulling the door handle, and then a puzzled muttering came: "Uh, is Yixian resting?"

It’s the Admiral! Yixian’s eyes lit up with surprise. Just as she was about to open the latch, the big iron door shook violently.

Yixian was stunned and subconsciously raised his head. A familiar face was peeking out from the gate. The dark eyes turned slightly and then fell on him.

"Yixian?" Xue Cheng looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. His arms, which were originally preparing to exert force to support his body to cross the gate, had no strength left.

He gave a helpless smile and said, "So you were here, then why didn't you open the door for me?"

Yixian came back to his senses and said quickly: "I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't... Ah, Admiral, please come down quickly. I'll open the door and see what you look like now."

"No need." Xue Cheng shook his head and rejected Yixian's suggestion. Then he exerted force with his arms, supported his body and crossed the gate. With a whistling sound, he landed beside Yixian.

"How about it? Awesome, right?" Xue Cheng smiled proudly, like a child who liked to show off.

"You're such an idiot. You're already an adult, but you still go home and jump over the gate like a kid." Yixian rolled her eyes at him, then stretched out her crystal-clear fingers to remove the spider web stuck on Xue Cheng's hair.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"Couldn't the Admiral ask me to open the door?"

Xue Cheng laughed, his eyes falling on Yixian. The girl just accidentally met those bright eyes for a moment, and as if she was burned by the faintly scorching gaze, she hurriedly looked away.

"Of course you can, but when has Yixian ever seen a thief go through the main gate?" Xue Cheng said with a strange laugh.

"Steal..." Yixian's cheeks flushed again. She seemed to realize something, took two steps back, and said stumblingly, "Admiral, what are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you!"
