The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

The connection starts.

A tingling sensation penetrated into Shinjo Akane's brain, but as for Lele, because she had connected with most of the ship girls in the port area, she had become numb to the tingling sensation that was similar to the slight tingling sensation of chopsticks that occurred when this connection occurred.

"How--"

Xiao Qian exclaimed softly.

It’s different from when I’m connected to my mother’s mental network... The brain keeps sending signals of joy and happiness—!

Is this the special point when connecting with the opposite sex? Does the sense of connection differ due to gender?

Although this signal of happiness emanating from her spirit made her happy, it made her feel uncomfortable in some way, so much so that she couldn't help but let out a heavy moan after a light cry, and her body couldn't help but twist slightly - but because her hands were restrained by Lele, she couldn't move much, and instead felt like she was being restrained.

How could this happen——He is just a little kid...

I really don’t want to admit that I feel strangely happy when a child leans on me...!

"It seems... after connecting with you, I can control your body and ship equipment!"

Lele shouted excitedly, like a child playing with a new toy.

He held up Shinjo Akane's hands and waved them to the sky, and then Godzilla's ship suit also waved. Afterwards, the big monster followed his will and sped across the sea - Damn, Brother Kong, this thing is much more useful than Kamen Rider!

“Ahahaha…Do you like this feeling?…As long as you like it…”

Her body was also controlled by Xiao Lele... But now Xin Tiaoqian had no strength at all - and perhaps no desire - to escape his control. Her body lay limply in Lele's arms, and she let him manipulate her with a dazed look in her eyes.

After that, Lele had the happiest time since he came to the port. Ironically, this happy time was not even given to him by the shipgirls in the bay.

Half an hour later, Lele came ashore on the beach feeling refreshed.

In contrast to him, Akane Shinjo's legs were weak and she was shaky, looking as if she was seasick.

Seeing this, Lele, who was walking in front, couldn't help but go back and help her, "Ah? Xin Tiao Qian, are you tired?"

Xin Tiaoqian let Lele hold her, and then she kissed Lele's forehead lightly, "Little Lele, it's already this time, why are you still calling me by my full name?"

In Sakura Empire, calling someone by their full name is annoying, no matter if you know them well or not. Well, she didn't have this awareness since she was brought back to Donghuang by Shen Ruyi since she was a child. But - being called by her childhood sweetheart, who used to be a good friend and now has some ambiguity, by her full name still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Didn't I call you like this before..."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Although Xin Tiao Qian was tired, she still put on a proud look, "The temperament of me now is different from before."

Lele couldn't help laughing, "You're becoming less and less generous, aren't you?"

Then he said, "Then from now on... I will call you Xiao Xiao Qian."

Shinjo Akane put her finger to her lips, "Mmm, I really don't want to be called that by you who is several years younger than me."

Lele didn't doubt it, "Then I'll think of another name."

"Hmm, wait, wait..."

Xin Tiao Qian's eyes were slightly dimmed, her cheeks were rosy, and she said shyly, "Forget it, your name is not bad...you can call me like this from now on!"

"Eh?"

Lele really can't understand JK's mind. Sometimes he doesn't want to do it, and sometimes he wants to do it.

270 Bishop Richelieu and the Little Boy

On this side of the office, the Enterprise, which was called by North Carolina, completed the intelligence exchange between Shen Ruyi and Richelieu on the movements of the Sirens in the two major port areas.

Although the secretary is North Carolina, when she is overwhelmed at work, she always asks her good friend Enterprise to help her solve the problem.

The Kosui Naval Base will soon undergo a second expansion and will accommodate more shipgirls. However, during this period, the sirens in Kosui are at their lowest risk. Instead, Huanwan, a port area that was bombed by sirens' carrier-based aircraft after breaking through the defense line, is where the sirens are causing the most trouble.

Of course, it is also because of the serious Sirens problem here that the Bay Area has become a super port area that the country focuses on building.

Because of this, Shen Ruyi took the initiative to propose to the headquarters to let some of her ship girls enter the Bay Port Area to temporarily reinforce this side.

For this, the secretary ship North Carolina and the flagship Enterprise are naturally no exception.

After closing the file, Shen Ruyi's smiling expression slowly faded.

"Okay, now we have to discuss the most important thing."

Enterprise and North Carolina's expressions also turned serious.

Something more serious than supporting Huanwan? What is it? Could it be the KanColle headquarters...

Shen Ruyi said, "It's about Lele."

Enterprise said solemnly, "Could it be that there is something new coming from the headquarters?"

Shen Ruyi blinked, "What? Of course not. It's just between me and Lele."

Richelieu on this side couldn't help but want to cover his face.

Beika said, "Eh? You and Lele...?"

"Yes." Shen Ruyi took a deep breath, then bowed her head to Beika and Enterprise, and said in a pleading tone, "Please allow me to adopt Lele!"

The Enterprise blinked, and North Carolina's expression froze.

Then, Enterprise said with difficulty, "Adopt...?"

"Yes!" Shen Ruyi scratched her face with her fingers and said a little embarrassedly, "Well, you see! Since Du Jin has passed away, then of course I have the obligation to adopt him."

"please wait a while!"

Beifa, who had been listening in as a perfect attendant, could no longer hold back and interrupted, "Let's not talk about the fact that you are just a friend of Admiral Du Jin and have no obligation to adopt other people's children. If we just talk about status, any of our ship girls in the bay has more reason to adopt Master Lele than you."

Yes, Befa admitted in his heart that he might have a very strange quirk. He liked to secretly watch Lele being molested by the girls on the Ring Bay Ship - but it also depends on who took advantage of Lele!

If Lele was tricked away by an outsider with just a few words, then I would probably not even have the right to peek.

Enterprise also struggled to digest her words. "Also, to be honest, Yixian once told Lele that he should treat Yixian as his stepmother, but Admiral Lele still righteously refused. Even Yixian said so, do you think you can convince Lele?"

Shen Ruyi of course knew Yixian, who looked very similar to Li Dujin and had been with her from the very beginning. They were even old acquaintances of each other.

It is difficult for Lele to recognize such a person as his mother, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

Shen Ruyi curled her lips and said, "That's because you didn't find the right method..."

This strange topic did not last long. Lele and Xin Tiaoqian knocked on the door and returned to the reception room.

"Ah, kids, are you back from playing?"

Shen Ruyi's face changed, and she quickly dropped the subject, instead speaking to them with a smile.

"Hmm..." Akane Shinjo said weakly.

Huh? Was this Shen Ruyi's illusion?

Just now when I told Xin Tiao Qian to take Lele out to play, Lele was clearly a little embarrassed and Xiao Qian was smiling. But when they came back, Xin Tiao Qian was hunched over and looked a little depressed, while Lele looked beaming.

"Yeah!" Lele's answer seemed more energetic. He nodded vigorously and showed an even brighter smile.

I really hope I can hang out with Akane Shinjo every day. It would be best if we could go out to sea, so I can play with her monster ship outfit as I please!

This is true... When the ship girls around the bay were with him, he never showed such a brilliant smile that made people feel happy...

After reading it, Enterprise thought a little bleakly.

But the most heartbreaking thing happened later - after Xin Tiaoqian returned to the reception room, she quickly left Lele and threw herself towards Shen Ruyi, pretending to cry.

Shen Ruyi naturally opened her arms to welcome her subconsciously, "Xiao Qian, you...?"

"Mom, Wang Lele bullied me!" Xin Tiaoqian cried fakely, "I don't want to play with him anymore!"

This is like the little devil asking for favors from her mother and childhood sweetheart.

But Lele didn't want to take the blame, so he said, "I just asked you to carry me on your big monster ship and stroll around the beach. How can that be considered bullying you?"

Then, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, come to our garrison more often in the future. Ah! Or I can go to Aunt Shen's harbor to play with you!"

He didn't want to have a bad relationship with Akane Shinjo... If he did that, there would be no big monsters to play with.

However, Lele's words sounded a bit strange to other people.

Beika felt like he was struck by lightning.

Why - just strolling around the port with a friend of the opposite sex whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the little admiral was so clingy to her?!

Even North Carolina, who is the least likely to get jealous, couldn't help scratching his head.

Because she knew how difficult it was to gain Lele's trust and favor.

Not to mention, given his somewhat introverted personality and his fear of dealing with strangers, he actually took the initiative to suggest going to the port area where Akane Shinjo was to play.

North Carolina's situation is already like this, not to mention Enterprise and Belfast, who are both envious of Lele's favor.

They seemed to be petrified when they heard this, which was even more shocking than when they heard Shen Ruyi wanted to be Lele's mother.

Xin Tiao Qian raised her head from her mother's arms and made a malicious face at him: "If you still want to play with me, you have to please me - well, my shoulders are a little sore."

"Oh! Let me rub it for you."

Lele went behind the sofa and rubbed the shoulders of Xin Tiaoqian, who looked a little proud.

ha--!

Befa coughed violently.

Who is this childhood sweetheart of Master Lele? ! The white-haired maid said she was so jealous! !

……

It was soon lunch time.

Lele and Beika led the guests from the Kosui Naval Base to the cafeteria and introduced them to the shipgirls of the bay. After the meal, they quickly split into two groups.

The first group was Beika, Shen Ruyi, and Xin Tiao Qian. It had been decided that the ship girls of the Xingshui Naval Base would support Huanwan, so Shen Ruyi was going to the dormitory area to take a look at the accommodation environment under the leadership of Beika, Enterprise, and Kaixuan who had already lived here.

The other group consisted of only two people, Lele and Richelieu.

"Xiao Le," Shen Ruyi said to him with a smile, "Can you please take Sister Li to the church here? It's the weekend, and Sister Li has to go to church... Can I leave the leading to you?"

"Of course! No problem!"

Lele, who is always willing to help others, naturally would not refuse and promised with a pat on his chest.

"Oh, Xiao Qian, are you going?" Shen Ruyi asked again.

"Hehehe, as for me, forget it. I've never been to church to worship God since I was a child~"

Akane Shinjo glanced at Richelieu, who gave her a reproachful but gentle look, and she stuck out her tongue and smiled.

Even if her little Lele wanted to go, it would certainly be no fun if they were not alone, so Xin Tiao Qian declined.

"Then I'll ask Lele to lead the way." Richelieu nodded to Lele.

Lele shrank his head after taking a look at Richelieu, a man with orange hair, a cool yet pretty face, and an awe-inspiring bishop's demeanor.

The "heroic spirit" that allowed him to tease girls of the same age disappeared without a trace, and what was left was only shyness and taciturnity towards strangers and elders.

"Okay...you're welcome, sis."

271 Churches are not for this kind of thing!

Richelieu was not a punctilious, solemn, and dull antinomian.

Ah, oh, maybe she would verbally admonish her commander from time to time or utter God's motto, but unless she did anything too outrageous, she would not be disliked most of the time.

Not to mention that her temperament had long been tempered into gentleness and tolerance by her funny commander Shen Ruyi.

Not to mention - she actually liked this lovely son of Shen Ruyi's good friend from the bottom of her heart.

After having her own contact with Lele, she immediately discovered that Lele was always sensitive and cautious towards "strangers", fearing that she would do something wrong and cause displeasure to others.

Thinking of this, Richelieu shook his head secretly.

I feel a little depressed. Has Lele already considered me a stranger?

That's right. After all, even Ruyi can't remember him. So he definitely doesn't have much impression of me, who has been watching him silently from his childhood visits to now.

It doesn't matter. Just try again.

After all... She was on Shen Ruyi's list of shipgirls supporting Huanwan. There would be plenty of opportunities to build good relationships in the future.

As if she had noticed the fixed gaze of the person walking with her, Lele also glanced at her sideways, and then quickly showed a polite smile.

In order to get closer to him, Richelieu took the initiative to speak, "Le Le, how are you doing in your studies?"
