Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

I've heard before that the Kitchen Goddess and enterprises are inseparable.

It was because of her, the admiral, that the two good sisters who had shared hardships were forced to go their separate ways.

Come to think of it, it’s really not right.

"Admiral, don't change the subject. Are you really my admiral?"

In her heart, she had already agreed with the idea of ​​reputation, but the Kitchen Goddess couldn't just openly accept the title of admiral.

Although KanColle's sense is very reliable and generally accurate, there are always times when she makes mistakes.

What's more, this is completely a fantasy.

"Yes, how can I prove it... I bought your breast lift from the scarf shop in Sasebo. It's made of a different material than other breast lifts."

Veneto pointed to the blue silk ribbons tied around the goddess' arms, which passed under the goddess's shiny headlights.

Although Veneto didn't know what this thing was for, she bought it because the goddess of the kitchen said she needed it.

I heard that it can relieve pressure on the cervical spine? Veneto still can't understand it.

"Really? It's true..."

The round-faced girl hugged Veneto.

She was very secretive about wanting to get the breast strap, and she told it to Veneto secretly.

In fact, her original intention was to get her admiral's attention, and then she could show off the gifts given by the admiral to her friends.

It’s a pity that this object of showing off later became an object of mourning.

"Hey……"

The white-haired loli soon felt wet on her head.

"Hey, your snot is running into my hair..."

Although the Vestal goddess's crying was not very graceful, Veneto did not feel annoyed.

She owed it to the ship girl in front of her first.

Disgusting or something...How can a beautiful girl's snot bubbles be disgusting?

"Uwaa, Admiral, I'm sorry..."

The Kitchen Goddess wiped her face.

Fortunately, it was just tears. If it was snot, she would have just jumped off the roof of the school hospital.

After a long while, the Kitchen Goddess calmed down.

Her face began to look bad.

Gritting her teeth, the goddess of the hearth grabbed Veneto's hand.

"Admiral, I know I was wrong, and I won't let that happen again!"

This incoherent sentence left Veneto stunned.

Just apologize for whatever happened. Shouldn't she be the one to apologize for leaving?

No.68 Understanding

"I... I didn't even think about checking the Admiral's body, but... wuwuwu..."

The Kitchen Goddess started crying again before she could finish her sentence.

"I'm so sorry, wuwuwu..."

Looking at the crying goddess of the hearth, Veneto scratched his hair and looked at Reputation helplessly.

She had experience in convincing girls who were crying, but those were girls he had made cry.

This was the first time she encountered a situation where she suddenly started crying loudly.

However, the foreign aid she hoped for did not provide much help.

Reputation just smiled and looked at Veneto and Vesta.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. This is not your fault. You don't have to regret it."

Veneto pressed the goddess of the hearth into a chair in the conference room and comforted her.

By the way, I touched the purple furry hair of the goddess.

The hat fell off because of crying. It was too intense.

"Uh-huh!"

Trying hard to hold back her tears, Nuzhaoshen responded, but her voice was intermittent due to sobbing.

"In my previous life, I didn't take care of my body. Even if you checked me, I would still have to die... It won't be like this in this life, I promise, so you don't have to be sad."

Veneto made a solemn promise.

"Admiral."

The Vesta embraced Veneto.

"Ahem, why are you here? No wonder I felt like the remaining children in the tutelary fort had lost a lot of weight."

Veneto pushed the goddess of the hearth, and the reputation was still watching from the side.

"Because the income from the garrison is not enough, I came out to earn some money to supplement it."

The goddess Nvzhao loosened her hands, lowered her head, and tangled her fingers together.

Of course Veneto knew why the Vesta left the naval base. Most of the ship girls left for the same reason.

I'm not like the guy in the next-door tutelary fort.

There were those who lost their memory and ran away, those who abandoned the garrison and ran away, and even those who turned to the embrace of the deep sea, and so on.

Those guys still exist after all, and most of the time the ship girls leave the naval base to look for those guys.

I just died directly, and my own ship girl certainly didn't look for me anywhere.

The reason why their own ship girl left the garrison was because they didn't want the garrison as a big family to fall apart, so they tried their best to obtain the capital to prevent the garrison from disbanding.

It’s just that many ship girls have gone far away and the contact has been cut off.

Some of them simply don't believe that they have returned.

To be on the safe side, she should meet with all the ship girls who are out.

Or, while she returns to the Admiral Academy to study again, she can let those ship girls who are working outside come to find her.

Or she could finish her retraining as soon as possible and embark on a journey to find her own ship girl who is working outside.

Huh? Why do I feel like a left-behind child going to the city to look for his parents?

By the way, it seems that Cleveland and Helena have also gone out to work...

Veneto held his forehead with his hand, this really was going to look for his 'father' and 'mother'.

"I have no right to force you to return to the tutelary fort. After all, I was the one who first neglected you and failed to take good care of myself. I made the mistake first, so as long as I can confirm that you are doing well, I will feel at ease."

Veneto knew that his remarks were a bit scumbag, even poisonous.

But she really felt embarrassed to call these ship girls over and dismiss them at will.

She had been wronged by these ship girls first, so what right did she have to summon them back to the naval base as soon as she came back?

If people are living more comfortably outside than in the garrison, and she forces them to go back to the garrison, isn't that just like a parent forcing a child who is doing well outside to return to his or her hometown?

And they are parents who made mistakes and caused their children to leave home disappointed and sad.

She has no right to do so, both morally and logically.

If the ship girls really live better outside than in the naval base, then asking them to return to the naval base seems even worse, as if they were thrown away after being used and taken back when they wanted to be used again.

"No! No way! How could I not go back to the tutelary fort? I'll be wherever the admiral is!"

The goddess shook her head vigorously, as if this could stop Veneto from speaking.

To the goddess of the hearth, Veneto's mistake was not a mistake at all.

She still believed that Veneto would die simply because she did not properly check Veneto's physical condition.

If she had noticed that something was wrong with Veneto earlier, or had forced Veneto to undergo a physical examination earlier, Veneto might not have died.

"So you, Admiral, are currently studying again at the Admiral Academy..."

Veneto covered his face, it was really embarrassing every time he brought it up.

He was a general back then! A general!

Now he doesn’t even have the rank of private.

What is this like! The more I live, the more I go backwards!

"Okay, then I'll stay."

The female Kitchen God, who was about to turn around and write her resignation report, retracted her foot.

"The deep sea has not entered its active season recently, and the front line has advanced a long way, so the safety of Sasebo can be guaranteed."

Reputation helped.

Of course, she would rather the Kitchen Goddess stayed by the admiral's side.

As for Veneto, who has a criminal record...

Now Reputation puts Veneto's health and personal safety first.

In the past, I have seen senior ship girls hold their admirals in their hands for fear of dropping them, and hold them in their mouths for fear of melting them. I still don’t quite understand the reputation they hold.

It was not until now, after experiencing the separation of life and death, that she had her own understanding.

Of course, some things haven't been put on the agenda yet, but they will be soon.

For example, training for admirals.

If I can become physically strong and have the body of a ship girl, the chances of overworking my liver should be zero.

I have to live my life over again and I cannot let the admiral suffer from such a shameful disease, a disease that I caused myself.

"No wonder the shipgirls from the garrison are not here."

Veneto nodded in understanding.

"Admiral, the reason why the naval girls are not here is not because of the security situation. After your death, no ship girls are willing to participate in the military operations against the seasonal activities in the deep sea."

Reputation smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, I understand."

Veneto clenched his fists and said, well, she should continue.

We shouldn't have the idea that 'when the seasonal event comes, the KanColles will come back on their own'.

People didn't leave because there were no seasonal activities, but because there was no admiral.

"Anyway, now that we know each other, I promise that I won't make the same mistakes again."

Veneto spread his hands towards the goddess of the hearth.

"I just hope you can forgive me now."

"I forgive you. I never blame you."

The Kitchen Goddess shook her head.

This was exactly what Veneto had been waiting for. As soon as the goddess of the hearth said it, she felt the burden on her shoulders lighten a little.

"Did the Admiral pass the test this time?"

The Kitchen Goddess asked with some concern.

"As someone who has successfully served as an admiral, it would be too embarrassing to get stuck in the exam again."

Veneto touched her face. Did she look so unreliable?

It actually made his own ship girl doubt his ability.

"No, it's mainly because I saw the admiral before, and he was always playing games..."
