The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

Tears also flowed out in big drops as I ran.

Even so, it couldn't relieve the overwhelming grievance in his heart.

The malice of those ship girls towards him almost suffocated Lele. He really didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

He wanted to get his schoolbag back from the office building and then escape from there.

In the distance, Atago and Kaohsiung's anxious shouts echoed, but Lele didn't want them to catch up, so he ran faster and faster.

After a while, he returned to the downstairs of the square office building.

Lele rushed up to the second floor, picked up his Kamen Rider backpack in the office, and turned his head...

I found that North Carolina was blocking the office door with a pitying smile on her face.

Lele sniffed and quickly wiped the tears from her face, but her eyes were still red.

Then he said in a nasal voice,

"I'm planning on leaving here."

North Carolina shook her head slightly, then walked slowly towards Lele, step by step.

Lele dodged left and right, but unfortunately, the office space was so small that he couldn't find enough space to pass through the White Eagle's ship girl and run to the door.

In the end, he could only huddle in the corner like a frightened rabbit and watch North Carolina approach him.

North Carolina stood in front of Lele.

Then she squatted down and hugged Lele gently.

"Child, let's go."

Lele was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.

"I know everything that happened in the cafeteria." North Carolina took a few deep breaths. "I would never be able to forgive myself if I let you suffer here after what happened."

"Sister Beika..."

"Before the Siren War, your mother once told me that if she died in this war, she would pass the position of Admiral of the Bay to her child."

North Carolina hugged Lele, gently placed her head on Lele's shoulder, and said softly,

"But that was just her customary sigh every time the Sirens invaded the coastal waters. Who knew that after this war, Du Jin...she would really die?"

North Carolina's voice was also choked up.

"So, Du Jin didn't have time to make a formal will, which is why you came to Huanwan to serve as the admiral, and so many bad things happened."

"But, a long time ago, she talked to me about this hypothesis: what would happen if she died suddenly at her post and you succeeded her without having time to alert her sisters..."

"'Those troublemakers will definitely not obey Lele and will make things difficult for him.'"

"'If this really happens, North Carolina, you must get my child out of the garrison as soon as possible. I don't want my child to suffer in vain in Huanwan and be used as a punching bag by them.'"

"What do you mean the coastal people will be in danger without the admiral? In my eyes, the people of the entire earth are not as good as my son!"

"These are Du Jin's original words. So, don't worry, since it has developed to this point now, I will always protect you until you return home."

Lele felt sad, especially after hearing what his mother said, tears welled up in his eyes again.

North Carolina wiped Lele's tears with her cheek, then stood up again, forced a smile and patted his head.

"Pack up, I'll go get the car ready."

As she said this, she was about to leave the office.

"Sister Beika, wait a minute..."

North Carolina walked to the door and turned around in confusion, and found that Lele opened the closet next to the sofa and took out Li Dujin's spare navy white-brimmed hat.

Then, facing the surprised Beika, Lele solemnly and seriously put on the white-brimmed hat on his head.

"I'd better stay here."

"Mom... shouldn't have said that. Compared to the people along the coast, compared to the people of the world, I am not important at all. So, I want to continue to be an admiral, and make a little contribution to them in my own way..."

"As for those shipgirls...if they want to scold me, go ahead and do it...I will try my best not to care."

The wide white-brimmed hat was not big enough to cover Lele's little head, so the hat was worn on his head with one side high and the other low, which looked quite funny.

However, in North Carolina's opinion, Lele now looks more handsome than any hero in the movie.

Children of his age are still enjoying their childhood life in school, without any sense of responsibility or awareness, right?

It is rare to see someone like Lele who has such a firm awareness at this age.

As of now, if Lele was not Li Dujin’s son, maybe she would be able to accept this child becoming the admiral of Huanwan?

Thinking of this, North Carolina's ears felt hot and his heart beat faster.

Our love for Lele goes beyond just her cute appearance.

I believe that those Sakura Empire ship girls who have been with Lele should feel the same way as she does now, right?

...If the Sakura Empire shipgirls knew how she felt at this moment, they would definitely pat her on the shoulder solemnly and tell her that she was welcome to join the Lele Cult.

022 Transition

It was because of Beika and her mother's persuasion and care that Lele decided to abandon the idea of ​​escaping and planned to continue to struggle here.

Children’s minds are strange, but also easy to understand.

The more you want him to do this, the more he refuses to do it, just like a stubborn donkey.

However, if you try to persuade him not to do it out of concern, then out of gratitude for others' concern and self-reflection, he will stubbornly oppose others' opinions and insist on doing it, and continue to do it, and do it vigorously... It sounds a bit vulgar.

North Carolina was of course delighted with this result, because in this way, she could work with the cute boy again...

However, the reason why she let Lele go home was not to deliberately say something sarcastic to encourage him to continue to be the admiral, but out of genuine love, she wanted him to go home without criticism and responsibility.

So, after North Carolina was happy, she asked with some concern, "Is this okay? Maybe, those iron-blooded ship girls will continue to blame you..."

Lele sniffed.

"I do not care……"

But after hesitating for a moment, he added, "If you really can't stand it anymore, can you curse back?"

North Carolina smiled.

"Scold as much as you can. I will scold those bastards with you."

"Baby!"

At this moment, a scream exploded outside the corridor, followed by the "dong dong dong" sound of high heels on the ground. Finally, Atago actually rushed in crying.

"Baby! I thought you didn't want your sister anymore!"

She picked up the confused Lele and didn't let him get on all fours.

"Don't go! Okay? Okay? Promise your sister, okay?"

When they walked out of the cafeteria, the Kaohsiung sisters could not find Lele, so they could only keep calling and walking around the surrounding areas, but they still couldn't find anyone. They immediately thought that Lele had walked home by himself, and Atago was so scared that she started crying and making a fuss.

In the end, it was Kaohsiung who suggested that they look for it in the office building, and they finally came to Lele's place.

Kaohsiung at the door also half-knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Lord Lele, the tutelage needs you, and the Sakura Empire's shipgirls... also need you. Please have mercy and don't abandon us."

Lele stretched out an arm.

He could only make this movement now, because he had been hugged by the big dog without knowing how much strength he was holding, and his whole skeleton began to creak, but he could not move.

"what!"

Beika and Kaohsiung exclaimed, rushed forward and tried their best to pull Lele out of Atago's arms.

North Carolina held the half-dead Lele in a princess hug, while Kaohsiung began his daily scolding, scolding Atago for all kinds of carelessness, stupidity and so on.

"But...but..."

Atago knew she was in the wrong, so she drooped her ears and cried while being scolded.

"Atago-sister, it's okay... I don't plan to go home either..."

Lele, who had caught his breath, said to the two of them.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other for a moment.

"precious……!"

Just as Atago was about to pounce again, Kaohsiung knocked her unconscious with a knife.

"We are very lucky that you still stick with this place despite the situation. However."

Kaohsiung glared at Atago, who was lying in her arms with her eyes rolling, and said, "Before we celebrate, please allow me to take my unworthy sister back to the dormitory and teach her again how to serve the king."

"No, no need. Sister Atago didn't do it on purpose..." Lele broke out in a cold sweat.

Regardless of whether Atago did it on purpose or not, Kaohsiung felt it was very rude of her to always kiss and hug Lele.

Especially when he heard this girl waving a very embarrassing bikini in front of him and insisting that it was a gift from baby Lele, Kaohsiung was already thinking of finding an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Now look what’s happened, you’ve run into someone you’re fighting for. If I don’t take this opportunity to teach you a lesson, you really don’t know how to write the word “sister”?

Without further ado, Kaohsiung dragged Atago away.

“A lot really happened today.”

Watching Kaohsiung and Atago leaving outside the corridor, North Carolina was filled with emotion. "As for the food, I'll ask Befa to deliver it to your office later. You should have a good rest tonight. By the way, I'll get you a blanket now."

Lele had no choice but to nod.

After a moment, looking at the empty office, Lele let out a sigh and put his schoolbag back on the sofa.

Looking at the handsome figure of Kamen Rider Kuuga on the schoolbag, Lele clenched his fist and said silently in his heart, "I will protect the coastal residents and the smiles of the shipgirls!"

Although he is not the powerful and magical Kamen Rider, he still has a heart that yearns for justice.

……

……

In the following time, the office became much busier. The ship girls from Donghuang and Sakura Empire took turns to come to Lele to comfort him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that he would not leave the naval base.

The maid Befa, who brought him food with an apologetic look, then told Lele what happened in the cafeteria afterwards.

At that time, the place was really like a powder keg that was about to explode, but because of the friendship they had fought in the past, they did not take action until the very last moment. However, the rift between Iron Bloods and Sakura Empire was about to deepen.

It seems that from now on, Lele will not only have to protect the southeastern waters, but also have to take on the arduous task of reconciling the ship girls.

023 Don’t think you don’t have to study when you’re not in school

After tossing and turning until ten o'clock in the evening, Lele finally went to bed.

With Belfast's help, he spread the quilt on the sofa, then declined the other party's request to invite him to sleep in the royal dormitory and lay down on the sofa in the office.

Only at this moment when everything was quiet did his thoughts become increasingly confused.

How should I face those Iron Blood and Royal Navy ship girls? Is my mother still alive? Will the monsters on the sea take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in? Will the children at school miss me...

Lele felt a little sad.

Why should a primary school student like me worry about so many things?

I'm so upset. I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.

Although Lele thought so, after looking at the ceiling for a while, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep extremely quickly.

Alas, children are all like this.

……

……

Lele was awakened from his sleep by a series of rough tossing and turning.

somebody is coming?

He opened his eyes in confusion, and in the moonlight streaming in through the office window, he vaguely saw the other person's hair, which was slightly curled up on both sides like a lop-eared dog, and a ponytail tied at the back.

Lele stretched out his hand from the quilt and wiped his eyes. Ah, his vision was much better. Then he realized that the visitor in the middle of the night was actually Kaohsiung.

"Sister Kaohsiung?"
