The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

This is why only humans have the term "mental network".

In the lobby of the office building, almost all the people invited by Beika have arrived.

Lele sat aside, looking at Enterprise, Nagato, Queen Elizabeth, Yixian and other ship girls who were all gathered together seriously, glancing at Lele from time to time, then turning back to discuss something intensely, looking a little scared.

I felt like I had done something bad and my homeroom teacher, teachers and grade directors were all gathered together to discuss how to punish me. I was so nervous that I was almost sweating.

Will the mental network test be difficult? Lele couldn't help but wonder anxiously, are the sisters really discussing this so seriously?

However, the issues discussed by Enterprise were not academic or complicated, but...

"North Carolina, you should have told the leaders of us privately that Lele was going to take the mind link test." Enterprise looked at the guilty North Carolina with some reproach. "Now it's all right. The news was posted on the bulletin board. In less than a day, most of the ship girls in the port area signed up and wanted to participate in the test. They said they all wanted to try the feeling of being in perfect harmony with Lele..."

When Yixian heard this idiom, she couldn't help but feel numb all over. "Ms. Enterprise, could you please say it another way?" Just saying this made Sister Yixian feel a little uncomfortable, as if Lele was being taken advantage of.

"Well, sorry, but this is their original text."

Yixian laughed out loud and covered his mouth with his silk palace fan. Well, from what those ship girls said, it can be heard that they really wanted to take advantage of Lele.

The short Chang Meng was confused and said, "I don't understand... why the children of the Sakura Empire also said that they want to establish a mind connection with Lele Palace. Is this something fun?"

Nagato's sister, Mutsu, whose personality is completely opposite to her introverted self, is about to have stars in her eyes. "Mutsu thinks this is really fun! Connecting with Lele-dono's mind! Proof of being one step closer to him! And being able to know what Lele-dono thinks of her during the connection! Lele-dono will also show her his thoughts to her without reservation!"

"Proof of a closer relationship with Lele-dono... um..." Nagato thought about it and hesitated. That's right. He and Lele-dono have already reached a state of mutual understanding. How far can it go? Nagato said he didn't dare to think about it.

The most arrogant leader of the five major camps in the Bay, Loli, snorted nonchalantly and turned her head away, "Too boring! Besides, a mere servant wants to connect with the king's heart? How unreasonable!"

Guanghui, who was beside the arrogant Queen Isa, couldn't help but touch her head gently. "My Queen, if you don't want to connect with Lele for the test, you can give this spot to other ship girls. I believe the other royal ship girls will be happy to do so."

"Ugh?!"

Hood watched the tsundere queen being choked by Guanghui's thoughtful but tsundere remarks, almost coughing up tears, and laughed non-stop. It is said that straight-forward people are professional tsunderes, and Hood thinks that gentleness can sometimes be a knife that can heal tsunderes.

After seeing Lele, Hood came out to save his face and said, "Well, after all, this is Lele's first connection. It is in accordance with etiquette that the leader must participate."

"Yes, that's right! That's what I mean!"

Queen Elizabeth felt a little relieved.

It was so cute. Hood couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub the proud golden hair.

"I didn't think it through..." Beika said apologetically.

Enterprise shook her head, "It's okay actually. Isn't it said that Lele's current mental network suitability is enough to connect all the ship girls in our entire port area? I believe that even one-on-one connection with the enthusiastically participating ship girls is not a problem... but there must be a priority. So, the few of us ship girls here will conduct the formal test first. If Lele makes any mistakes during the process, we can rely on our experience to rescue her. Beika, you and Maid Belfa will compile a list. After we conduct the formal test, let them connect with Lele at will. This will not only test Lele's tolerance, but also let the ship girls who signed up have fun."

"The company is still thoughtful." Beika said, and then took Beifa out. Now there are many people who are excited to be favored by Lele, no, the ship girls waiting to connect with Lele are waiting outside the office building. It is time to integrate them.

"Okay then... who wants to be the first to connect with Lele?"

Enterprise glanced at Yixian, who shook his head, indicating that it was okay to give this opportunity to someone else; he glanced at Nagato, the little guy's eyes were a little panicked, and the introverted Chang Meng obviously didn't want to be the glaring first bird; he looked at Elizabeth again, not to mention this arrogant golden-haired girl.

"All right……"

Enterprise took a deep breath, "...Tirpitz. Do you want to try to be the first one up?"

"Well?……"

Everyone's eyes were on Tirpitz, who had been deep in thought from the beginning and had not participated in the conversation at all.

The de facto leader of the Iron Blood camp coughed lightly and said, "As for the Iron Blood side, the German princess said, 'I don't want to bother with you lowly creatures,' so she entrusted this matter to me..."

Enterprise said with some confusion, "So, I'm asking you, Tirpitz, if you're willing to be the first to establish a mind connection with Lele."

"..."

Tirpitz's textbook answer to the question cleverly explained that she was actually not at peace in her heart, so she avoided answering the company's sharp question.

Connect with Lele? That is to say, if I can communicate with him spiritually, then my inner passion for Lele, which I am too timid to show to him, will be completely exposed to Lele, right?

But this is what Tirpitz has always wanted to do.

One day, Tirpitz will let Lele know his true feelings, even though he appears to be indifferent but actually cares about Lele to death.

Now, that 'someday' has arrived.

"it is good."

Tirpitz said, "Then I will go first."

231 It turns out that Sister Tier, you——

Seeing Tirpitz, who Lele thought was the most serious and the most unapproachable among them, pushing away the other ship girls with a cold face and walking towards Lele, he couldn't help but feel solemn in his heart, then sat upright, waiting for the judgment to come.

"...?"

Why does Lele have such a solemn expression? ...Although he is also very cute.

Tirpitz came to Lele and bowed to him gracefully, "Lele..."

This seriousness made Lele even more nervous, "Yes."

The sisters who were peeking from behind couldn't help but chuckle a little when they saw how serious Tirpitz was. This made Tirpitz look awkward, but he still said, "I'll be the first to connect with you."

"Um……"

Tirpitz felt a little frustrated. Lele was always so timid in front of him. In fact, even in front of other elder sisters, this child could at least make some jokes. Why was she so...

She shook her head silently. It just so happened that after connecting with Lele, he would also know what she was thinking, and he would also know...it wasn't because she didn't love him that she was so cold.

I just can't learn how to express my love.

"bring it on."

She extended her hand to Lele and said, “The first step to connection is physical contact.”

"it is good."

Lele reached out his hand to her, but just as Tirpitz was about to shake it, he quickly pulled his hand back.

"What, what happened?" Tirpitz felt even more frustrated. Seeing Lele like this, it was hard not to think that he pulled his hand back so violently because he disliked him.

"Can I ask?" Lele said weakly, "What will happen after the connection?"

So the admiral knew nothing... Tirpitz explained it as gently as possible, but the more Lele listened, the more frightened he became.

The mind connection really means what it says. After the connection, each other's consciousness can be transmitted. In other words, no matter what you think, will the ship girl find out?

It's over... My mind is full of little dramas in my head, like I transform into Kamen Rider and save my sister KanColle. It's exposed, but I have a bigger secret buried in my heart...

That night, Akagi-sister and I...

The more Tirpitz talked, the redder Lele's face became. He became more and more frightened and fidgety. He stopped talking and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable, Lele?"

"No. I just..."

No matter how hard Lele tried, he couldn't think of a way to refuse. So he refused firmly? With Lele's personality, he simply couldn't do it.

Will my reputation as a little pervert spread across Hong Kong after today...

But in the end, it wasn't my initiative...

But for the sake of Sister Akagi's reputation, Lele would never put the blame on her.

Just let yourself bear everything... Compared to girls, it is true that boys will not suffer any serious image damage when they are labeled as lustful.

"Then can I apply to continue the connection?" Tirpitz asked cautiously.

"Ok."

Lele acted as if he was determined and ready to die.

He clasped his hands together, and before Lele knew what to do next, he was shocked and felt many strange yet familiar scenes coming to his consciousness.

The connection was successfully established immediately, and...it seemed as if Tirpitz was trying hard to convey her thoughts to herself.

Tirpitz held Lele's soft, boneless hand tightly, thinking about every detail of his time with Lele.

The first time I met him, Lele was still very little. At that time, I was not interested in anyone except Li Dujin, so I ignored Xiaole's gaze.

But Xiaole was much more lively back then. No matter how coldly I treated him, he would always laugh. When I followed Li Dujin to learn how to become a qualified ship girl, he always stayed by his mother and me's side, using some clumsy and intimate methods of a child, or making faces at me, or asking this and that with his little voice that had just learned to speak...

Finally, when the day came when she was able to leave Li Dujin, join the Gulf Fleet, and become a good ship girl who could stand on her own, Tirpitz suddenly discovered that she could not live without either Admiral Dujin or the lovely little Lele.

The small good feelings that had been flowing slowly during our daily interactions had already unknowingly gathered into a long river...

...After Tirpitz transmitted what she heard and thought to Lele, she opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Lele emotionally.

The moon represents my heart? No, there is no need to use objects to express my longing. Now I can finally open my heart and show it to you. Lele, my favorite Lele.

Since Sister Tiel tried so hard to force her feelings on Lele, it was no surprise that she had no time to receive the spiritual messages Lele brought to her.

Lele read Tirpitz's emotions in an instant, blinked, and looked at the lonely queen of the iron-blooded north who she once thought was inhuman with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Sister Tier..."

Tirpitz's heart trembled. Lele called out the sweet name he used to call her when she was a child. At this moment, he really had no regrets even in death.

Lele took a deep breath, then changed the topic sadly and said, "Sister Tier, I never thought that you actually liked my old self so much."

"Eh……?"

Eh? Tirpitz, who was screaming in his heart that he had no regrets in his death, was stunned. Did he misunderstand me because I had been trying to bring up all the scenes of my past with Lele? I didn't expect Lele's perspective to be so tricky.

Lele smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks to your communication, I probably understand how much I was liked by the sisters in the past. Lively, smart, outgoing, and cheerful. And thanks to the comparison, I know how much I am not liked by you now."

"What? No, that's not right. I... I..."

"Now I am timid and hesitant. When I see you guys whom I once knew, I feel that you are a little strange, so I subconsciously resist your enthusiasm..."

"you are not……"

Lele shook his head gently, taking the words of Tirpitz, who was sweating anxiously, as comfort, "Thank you, Sister Tirpitz, you used your thoughts to make me wake up. Now, whether as an admiral or as your former junior and good friend, I seem so incompetent... I will change."

Tirpitz will really burst into tears, right?!

Did Lele actually regard the memories that she had poured into him with all her love as a torture and accusation against him?! Am I really that scary in Lele's eyes?

Tirpitz became anxious and immediately hugged Lele tightly.

I am not good at speaking and cannot refute, so I will use my actions to prove that I love him, no matter if he is in the past, present, or future!

Facing Tirpitz's slightly overly forceful hug, Lele endured it with difficulty and was able to spare some time to respond to him, "...Thank you for your comfort, Sister Tir."

It's not a consolation! It's an expression of my love! ! Wow——!

...Tirpitz was so anxious that he cried.

232 Now I Can Harass the Admiral with a Reasonable Reason

Tirpitz stood up silently, covered his mouth and sobbed as he left.

Looking at her desolate back, the sister ships who did not hear their conversation specifically were speechless.

Of course, they didn't think that Lele was the one who pissed off Tirpitz. They believed from the bottom of their hearts that Lele wasn't the kind of kid who would really make others angry... They could only try to think that it was Tirpitz who was moved to tears after the (spiritual) negative distance contact with Lele... Hmm.

Enterprise grabbed Lele who wanted to follow Tirpitz.

"But, Sister Tiel..."

"She's fine," Enterprise said. "It's more important to connect with the rest of the fleet who will be on missions later. She's Tirpitz."

In response to the company's words, others nodded in agreement.

Tirpitz, who is known as the lonely queen of the north, doesn't think that such a small thing will make her emo for a whole day.

Lele looked in the direction where Tirpitz disappeared. But, I felt that Sister Tir, who suddenly cried, suddenly became very fragile. Did I misunderstand? ... I will go talk to her later.

"It's my turn." Enterprise's hand pulling Lele turned into holding him.

"Uh-huh……"

Lele came back to his senses, horrified, and quickly kept his mind clear, trying to use his mind to prevent his thoughts from being known by Sister Qiye's mind... uh, uh, so confusing.

Enterprise was silent for a while, but Lele did not have the mysterious feeling of being touched by others like she had with Sister Tiel just now. Then, Enterprise was heard to say to the ship girls who were still standing around them curiously, "Um... can you give me some private space?"

Guanghui covered his mouth and jokingly said, "Enterprises also have a shy day?"

Yixian also echoed, "I rarely see this kind of expression on your face."

Enterprise was so amused by them that his face flushed. He quickly took Lele to the "safe distance" where Tirpitz had just connected with Lele, so that they would not be able to hear their conversation.

Lele looked at Enterprise curiously. I wonder what Sister Enterprise will show me... Is she going to take out the precious video of my childhood and replay it to torture me?

Lele was a little depressed. Although she had admitted that she was less charming now than when she was the unbridled leader of children, she didn't need to ask every sister to compare herself with her and make herself feel ashamed, right?
