Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

Why? To allow the secretary ship to have sufficient energy to handle government affairs.

What? Why didn't she deal with it?

I've already said it, she's cooing.

Besides, the ship girls are so capable, wouldn't it be fine for her to just be a nobody?

Flattering and bullying are among her most proficient skills.

"Our tutelary fort is not at this civilian port. We have to take a taxi to get there. Sister Veneto, would you like to go with us to the tutelary fort first?"

Although York City supports Veneto to become an ordinary person full-time, she doesn't want Veneto to wander outside.

This white-haired Loli now seems to be not only simple in appearance, but also simple in heart.

NO.9 Arrival at the Naval Base

This Veneto is very silly. If you let her out on her own, it will be too dangerous and she will be easily deceived.

It would be better to keep her in the naval base. After all, the naval base has enough money to keep an idle ship girl.

As for Veneto going to find his admiral, Yorktown had no hope of it.

If there was really nothing wrong with Veneto's admiral, how could he not be looking for his own ship girl everywhere?

At least a notice looking for a ship should be posted in the Governor's Office.

The assumption that Veneto is a new ship girl was refuted the moment she said that she might have an admiral and had to avoid the irrelevant admiral's salvage ship as an ordinary person.

A new ship girl would never say that.

Moreover, the newly-born ship girls are not innocent at all, they are like a blank sheet of paper, even simpler than that.

This Veneto is still a little clever, but it is far from enough to face the dangerous society.

While thinking about these things, Yorktown waved his hand to the taxi waiting nearby.

This is the passenger port, and taxis are waiting here to pick up passengers.

Soon a taxi drove up and stopped in front of York City.

Three girls and a loli got on the car.

"Are you all going to the tutelary fort here?"

The driver glanced through the rearview mirror at the three girls and a loli sitting side by side in the back seat.

Because the loli was too thin, she didn't need a separate seat and was held by one of the girls.

"Do you know?"

Veneto sat on Enterprise's lap and turned to look at Yorktown after hearing the driver's words.

“I don’t know him.”

York City denied it.

"Don't be surprised, little girl. Girls like you who look like fairies must be ship girls."

The driver explained as he skillfully drove the vehicle towards the coastal highway.

"And you came out of the long-distance ship's exit without any luggage, looking exhausted. It's very likely that you are a ship girl. I heard that a ship girl has a magical space that can hold her huge weapons and various things."

The driver uncle fits the character of a taxi driver very well, and he never stops talking.

Although he doesn't talk as much as Tang Seng, he also talks more than most people.

"Uncle, you are quite good at judging people."

Veneto thought that this should be the famous saying, traveling thousands of miles is not as good as meeting countless people.

"That's right. I've been driving a taxi for fifteen years. I've seen all kinds of people!"

The taxi driver responded proudly.

And Veneto silently grabbed Bumblebee's hand and placed it on his head, and it was Bumblebee's turn.

The person who forced her to do this was holding the steering wheel with one hand without realizing it.

"It's just that the taxi business has been bad recently."

The taxi driver began to sigh.

"What's wrong, driver?"

Veneto didn't understand. In this world, the coastal cities with tutelary forts should have developed economies.

Why even the taxi driver is sighing.

"The deep sea has been visiting us recently, with a small wave every three days and a big wave every five days. It's very regular. Now if I don't hear the air raid sirens every three days, I feel uncomfortable all over."

The driver twisted his body in the driving seat, as if he was really feeling unwell.

Veneto, with Bumblebee's hand on his head, looked back at Yorktown.

Yorktown had a solemn expression on his face as he looked at the scenery outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Little sister, why are you putting the little girl's hand next to you on your head?"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and saw what Veneto did.

"Ah, this... let me press my hair."

How can I tell the truth? It's too shameful.

"Oh."

The taxi driver didn't suspect anything and started driving seriously.

He is also a man who knows how to read people's expressions.

After several girls in the back row admitted that they were ship girls (but did not deny it), the uncle speculated whether these were ship girls returning to defend.

Because I heard that most of the ship girls in the local garrison went out to relax, and that incident happened automatically.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the deep sea is becoming more and more violent.

Well, these ship girls in the back row might have gone out to relax and then received the news and returned to defend.

Is this a reminder for them? Or is it public feedback?

Anyway, humans cannot defeat the deep sea, so I can only rely on these girls.

Thinking of this, the driver spoke.

"Although the deep sea is terrible, you must pay attention to safety. You are our only hope, and there is no way to lose hope."

"Got it, thank you uncle."

Vittorio felt that except for her, the other three ship girls had no intention of talking, so she had to reply to the driver.

"If you can't win, don't try to hold on. We ordinary people can take care of ourselves. We won't hold you back."

The taxi driver glanced at Veneto through the rearview mirror and felt that his body and soul were purified.

This destroyer girl is so kind, ah~ this is a ship girl.

At this time, the driver wanted to sing a song to praise the ship girls sent by God to save the people from dire straits.

But Veneto suddenly felt a gaze that made her very sensitive.

She looked around but didn't notice anyone watching her.

Fortunately, this uncomfortable sight only lasted for a moment.

It must be just an illusion, Veneto thought.

The taxi drove for nearly half an hour and arrived at the end of the coastal highway.

At the end of the road is a big gate.

And this gate grows on a tall wall.

The wall stretched inland from the sea, turning a corner and disappearing as far as Veneto could see.

It seems that the place where the wall bends is the longest part of the wall.

However, this tutelary fort Veneto looked so familiar.

After seeing the plaque hanging on the gate, the entire battleship Veneto was stunned.

"Sister Veneto, get off the bus."

Enterprise patted Veneto's shoulder curiously.

Yorktown, who was sitting on the far right side of the taxi, had already gotten out and was tidying up his appearance.

And if Veneto doesn't get off the bus, the company can't move.

"Oh."

Veneto responded and got out of the car by grabbing the door.

"Uncle, I am a small business owner, please pay for the fare."

The driver rolled down the window and looked at the girls standing by the car sorting their clothes.

"it is good."

Yorktown took out his bank card and swiped it on the taxi's POS machine.

"Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to ride next time."

After expressing his gratitude, the old man did a beautiful drift and left the garrison.

"Let's go, it's time to come back, otherwise those deep sea creatures will rebel."

Bumblebee took the lead and walked into the tutelary fort.

Yorktown followed his sister in silence.

"Sister Veneto, what's wrong with you?"

Enterprise was also ready to follow the sisters, but found that the white-haired loli they brought back was still standing there in a daze.

"Huh? Oh."

Veneto was awakened by Enterprise's reminder and quickly followed the three sisters in front.

In the days since she woke up as a ship girl, she never thought that she would come back here.

I didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, even after changing my gender and species, I still have a deep connection with this place.

On the gate of the garrison hung a plaque with the six characters "Sasebo Garrison" inscribed on it.

NO.10 Are you the commander?

In his previous life, Veneto was an indifferent admiral who could leave all the affairs of the naval base to the ship girls, and his biggest hobby was playing games.

As for going out shopping or traveling, she has no chance of doing so.

But even so, she had seen what the city that her garrison guarded looked like.

Maybe it was because the streets had become deserted, or maybe it was because Veneto was desperately fighting off the shame of Bumblebee's hand on top of her head.

In short, she did not recognize the city where she had just got off the passenger ship, which was the city she guarded when she was still an admiral.

But in this case, doesn't it mean that the three Yorktown sisters who have been accompanying her these days are her former ship girls...

I guess I died of liver disease, right?

Although Veneto felt mixed emotions, he still suppressed the discomfort.

The main reason was that she had no idea what the garrison looked like now.

Don’t mention titles like “The Return of the Deceased Admiral” for now.

She felt that the attitude of the ship girls towards themselves, the deceased admiral, was a problem.

She didn't dare to try it. What if she died after trying? Wouldn't that mean she would die again?

There is no such thing as dying twice.

We said we would be together for life, but ended up running away early.
