Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

This must be an illusion, right? They were clearly willing to lend a helping hand to me when I was helpless. How could they be so gentle and gentle as to harbor ill intentions?

Besides, there are no bad admirals, this is an unchanging iron law. In countless experiments at the Navy Headquarters, it has been confirmed that people with dark hearts cannot start the construction machine, nor can they be recognized by the ship girls, so...

It should be fine, right?

The girl thought to herself, dispelling her anxiety.

Xue Cheng paid the bill, and the three of them went shopping together for a while.

During this period, Xue Cheng paid out of his own pocket to give Tiancheng some small accessories that were not very valuable but very exquisite.

Tiancheng was reluctant to accept it at first, but with Xue Cheng's enthusiasm and Chicheng's support, he had to accept it reluctantly.

This action greatly increased the girl's favor for him. It was not until Leipzig called and claimed that the supplies had been purchased that the three of them returned to the helipad at the naval headquarters.

Leipzig directed the porters to load the boxes onto the Chinook helicopter, while Revenge checked the invoices on the side.

When she turned around inadvertently, she suddenly found Xue Cheng and Chi Cheng walking slowly towards her on the road not far away.

Revenge pushed his glasses up. Behind the Admiral and Akagi, there was a strange girl with short black hair and red eyes.

Seeing that all the goods had been loaded onto the plane, Revenge left Leipzig to talk to the workers and went over alone.

"Admiral, you... are back." Revenge stood in front of Xue Cheng, his eyes hidden behind his glasses looking towards Tiancheng.

Xue Cheng reached out his hand and tucked a strand of the girl's hair behind her ear. He smiled and said, "We're back."

"Is this lady also your ship girl?"

Tiancheng put his hands in his shirt pockets, with the huge backpack on his back. His sneaker-clad feet were kicking a small stone restlessly, and his eyes kept turning around on the revengeful face, seeming very curious.

Revenge nodded and said with difficulty: "Essex-class aircraft carrier... Ship No. 27, Revenge."

Aren't there only 24 Essex-class ships? Where did the 27th ship come from?

Also, what's with the way she speaks? Do shipgirls stutter? I've heard that one destroyer bit her tongue easily when she spoke.

Tiancheng tilted his head, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind: Could it be a blueprint ship? Or was it a warship like his own, whose construction was canceled before it was completed?

The girl looked at Revenge with a much gentler gaze. Perhaps because they had the same experience, she felt that she could become friends with Revenge.

Akagi on the side felt a little jealous. She was obviously the younger sister of Amagi, but it seemed that she was more interested in revenge?

After introducing Amagi to Leipzig and Revenge, they exchanged a few pleasantries and boarded the plane together. With Revenge at the controls, they flew towards the naval base.

……

"Wow... Is this what it feels like to fly in the sky?"

Stepping off the plane, Tiancheng, holding the obviously heavy backpack in one hand, sighed:

"Even though I'm just sitting in a plane and not flying by my own power, it's still a good experience for a ship girl."

Leipzig held the cabin door and slowly walked down with the help of Xue Cheng.

Her face was pale, her legs wrapped in black stockings were trembling constantly, her brows were furrowed from time to time, half of her body was hanging on Xue Cheng, and she looked terrified.

"Miss Amagi is truly amazing," Leipzig whispered.

"How could you accept so easily the terrifying thought of your feet leaving the ground and the sea, flying through the sky like a launched missile..."

Xue Cheng held the girl's delicate body and asked curiously, "Is Leipzig afraid of flying?"

"Why ask!" Leipzig glared at him fiercely. "I'm a ship girl, not a machine girl! How could I possibly stand being put into a giant iron can and flying around in the sky?"

"Then why are Akagi and Revenge okay?"

"Carrier girls already have the ability to share vision with carrier-based aircraft. We're used to this kind of thing!" Leipzig muttered with resentment.

"I feel dizzy and nauseous... Admiral, I can't take it anymore. I need to go back and rest..."

"Okay." Seeing that Leipzig seemed to be really uncomfortable, Xue Cheng nodded, sought revenge and sent Leipzig home.

Watching Revenge and Leipzig disappear on the path, Tiancheng sighed with some regret, but soon she remembered the purpose of her visit.

Eat... No, that's a challenge!

Tiancheng's eyes were firm, and he kept repeating the word "challenge" in his mind, as if to strengthen his belief.

After a while, Tiancheng nodded vigorously and said to Xue Cheng, who was counting the supplies on the plane with Chicheng, "Xue Chen..."

Xue Cheng turned around helplessly and corrected: "It's Xue Cheng."

"Okay, Xue Cheng." Tian Cheng shrugged, put the heavy backpack on the ground, and said, "Regarding the exercise, I hope you can arrange it as soon as possible."

"Ah, one more thing. If you have any work to do, just give it to me. I will definitely do my best."

"Huh?" Xue Cheng looked at her in surprise.

"Um..." Tiancheng scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly and said in a low voice:

"I, I'm still somewhat self-aware, so I won't stay here for too long. As for work... well, I need travel expenses, so..."

"Ahem, anyway, I won't make things too difficult for you. The salary for your work will be 50% of the market price, no, 30%. By the way, I can also help you train the destroyer at home."

Tiancheng puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Don't look at me like this, but I'm very good at teaching destroyer tactics. If Xue Cheng has a destroyer girl at home, just leave it to me."

As if wanting to prove his work ability, Tiancheng looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up.

On the path outside the apron, several little girls were walking towards this side, seemingly coming to greet the plane after seeing it land.

God help me! My chance to show myself... has come!

Chapter 303: Pitfalls ( words)

"Hi, little ones!" Tiancheng stopped in front of the group of little girls and greeted them cheerfully: "Hello."

The leading girl with blonde twintails was wearing a beautiful dress and holding a small magic wand that looked like a baton, looking like a cute little witch.

She came over skipping and looking at Tiancheng who suddenly stopped her, she tilted her head and said, "Hello, big sister."

"Kukuku!" Amidst the weird laughter, a little girl wearing a purple Gothic skirt and an eye patch on her left eye posed in an extremely shameful posture next to the little blonde girl.

She held up her blindfold with one hand and pointed the other hand towards Tiancheng. Her legs crossed, her body twisted into a strange shape, and she spoke in a deep voice, "Where are you from, Mage? Did I summon you?"

"Magic, magician?" Tiancheng blinked and looked around, but there was no one else around.

She took two more steps to the side, and Amethyst's finger moved, still pointing at her.

"Is that so..." Tiancheng seemed to understand something and showed a thoughtful expression.

After a brief silence, the girl suddenly snorted coldly, and a faint shadow of a ship's armor unfolded behind her, with the black muzzle of the gun pointed at Amethyst.

Amagi folded his arms and said in a voice almost like an aria, "Familiar? Just you? As an excellent magician, you don't even sense the gap between us."

"Ouch..." Amethyst seemed to be struck by the impact and subconsciously took two steps back. She stretched out her hands to block her body and said with difficulty, "You, you are hiding your strength? This ominous aura, this terrifying demonic energy, could it be the legendary Dragon Demon King?"

"Exactly! In order to nip the hero in the bud, I have come here!"

“…” Akagi’s face gradually turned red as he listened to the goosebump-inducing conversation between Amagi and Amethyst.

She suddenly had doubts. Wasn't it a bit hasty to ask the Admiral to bring Amagi home just because he wanted his sister? It was obvious that having Kaga was enough for her!

Amagi and Amethyst started acting out a rivalry, and the little girls standing by showed an impatient look.

"Oh, really, another purple quartz."

"You're already an adult, why are you still acting like a child?"

"Javelin, don't be so loud..."

"Ah, I don't think it's a big deal. All we need to do is look at them with warm eyes."

"..." Amethyst Quartz was calm, but Tiancheng's thick skin was obviously not tempered to the point of being invulnerable to water and fire.

She put away the semi-materialized ship suit behind her, coughed lightly and stood up, then looked at the blonde girl in front of her and said:

"Actually, I'm a guest at your tutelary fort. I studied under a senior for a while and know a lot about teaching destroyers, so I'd like to temporarily apply to be your instructor."

"Huh? Teacher?" Before the blonde girl could say anything, the pink-haired girl, nicknamed "Javelin" by her companions, said bluntly:

"Even Katori-nee can't teach us anything anymore, can you...?"

"Katori?" Amagi tilted her head and thought for a while. She had seen the ship girl encyclopedia and had the impression that a girl with this name seemed to be a light cruiser?

"Don't underestimate me!" Tiancheng puffed out his chest and said proudly:

"Sister, I often fight on the front lines. I've probably seen more deep seas than you have. To be honest, I came here this time to challenge the ship girls in your tutelary fort... By the way, are there any other people in your tutelary fort? Are you just a few of you guys?"

She stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Hmm, if that's the case, then I can only ask Miss Akagi for help? But conducting exercises with an aircraft carrier is a bit disadvantageous, and defeating a little girl wouldn't be glorious either. This is a bit..."

"Challenger?" The little blonde girl Firefly tilted her head. The guy who had previously applied for the exercise was still staying in the naval base and refused to leave. I heard that he was waiting to participate in the celebration. Why did another person come to challenge him?

Could it be that his own tutelary fort had become famous at some point?

But aren't those who come to challenge us a bit too condescending? One or two of them are obviously battleships, but their levels don't seem very high. Do they think they are so strong?

It seems that it is necessary to make those confused adults recognize themselves again.

The firefly waved the little magic wand in his hand and thought secretly.

Amagi continued to chatter away, "Ah, now's not the time to talk about that. Let's talk about the curriculum. Everyone, please tell me what you're good at. Torpedoes? Air defense? Anti-submarine warfare?"

"Bombardment." said Firefly.

"Bombardment, that's what I'm good at... What? Bombardment?!"

Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said unhappily:

"Don't tease an adult. A mere destroyer and artillery battle are not your areas of expertise. It's better to start learning from other places first."
