The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

Du Jin, your son is really sensible.

If you could live to old age, and have a child like this, you would surely be able to enjoy a peaceful and happy life.

After all, Mamiya and Nelson are old acquaintances, and everyone knows her tsundere nature.

Even though he said no, he wanted it more than anyone else. Who wouldn't know that?

So the proprietress smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, yes," and then she prepared ice cream for Lele and made a pot of coffee for Nelson.

"Oh, right,"

The fireflies, who had just been quiet for a while, chewed their yokan and suddenly said to Nelson, who had his back to them, as if she had remembered something.

"Sister Nelson, didn't Her Majesty the Queen tell the Royal Navy to stop playing with the new admiral? Then why did you bring him to Sister Mamiya?"

Yes!

The eyes of the royal expelled lolis suddenly lit up, and they stared at Nelson who was sitting at the counter with their piercing eyes.

Didn’t Her Majesty the Queen - that is, the Queen Elizabeth - express angrily that in order to protect the dignity of Li Dujin, our Royal Ship Girls should not get close to the new admiral?

What's going on now?

When Nelson heard this, his body froze.

027 Disloyal Royal Destroyer

Not only did her movements freeze, but two blushes also appeared on her face.

Nelson turned his head away from Lele, with his back completely facing the group of royal exiles who were looking at him, while his mind raced, trying to find a suitable excuse.

However, when she saw Lele also put his hands on the table, holding his chin, tilting his head, and looking at her curiously, Nelson's arrogance completely exploded:

“What? What on earth are you looking at me with—!”

She gritted her teeth and said to Lele in a voice as quiet as possible so that the destroyer at the table over there couldn't hear, "Don't think that I acknowledge you. You are still far from it now. I am only being nice to you because you are Du Jin's child..."

"Okay, okay, I know everything." Lele said with a smile, "You don't have to explain."

"You, you know something!"

Nelson blushed even more. She thought Lele had seen through her irony.

But unfortunately, Lele still doesn’t know what tsundere is, so he believed Nelson’s one-sided statement and thought that she was only being nice to him because he was Li Dujin’s son.

The reason he laughed was simply because he thought the blushing blonde old witch was funny.

After laughing, Lele jumped off the stool beside the counter and walked towards the royal escorts.

The lolis panicked all of a sudden.

Of course they would panic. Firstly, they felt that they had said such hurtful words as "You can't play with the admiral" and were afraid that he would rush over and beat them up. Secondly, they felt guilty for isolating Du Jin's sister's child and didn't know how to face him formally.

...The mentality behind this is almost the same as that of the reckless Prince Eugen.

"Don't come over here!"

The firefly also jumped off the chair in a hurry, bent his waist, and pointed his big iron head at Lele.

"Don't move! Otherwise, Firefly-sama's mighty and invincible headbutt is no joke!"

Although he wanted to hit Lele, Firefly only dared to point his head at Lele and didn't dare to move. Moreover, it seemed that even if he was really hit, this iron-headed kid would most likely not fight back.

There was no way. Du Jin's son didn't have the heart and didn't dare to really use the rocket headbutt.

Seeing Tietouwa turning her head towards him as if bowing, Lele was stunned for a moment, then smiled and reached out to touch her head.

Firefly was prepared to be hit or smashed on the head, but she didn't expect that he would just gently stroke her hair with his hand.

Caught off guard, she cried out "Ah!" and stood up again, holding her hair that had been touched in her hands, looking at the new admiral, who seemed not much older than her, at a loss.

"hello."

Lele said with a smile when he saw that she finally stood up.

Before, when he was in class, he would sometimes act a little naughty, like patting a familiar girl on the head from behind, or deliberately saying something to get a fight in front of the girls to make them angry and chase him. He was already used to playing and fighting with girls of the same age.

That's why Lele reached out and touched Firefly's head so naturally, earnestly hoping that she would be able to 'hunt down' him angrily like the girls in the class, and then increase their friendship step by step.

Although I don’t know if this method of increasing friendship by starting with being beaten is effective, Lele and his female classmate Pepe got to know each other through fighting.

However, strangely, after the firefly was touched on the head, its first reaction was not anger, but looking at him at a loss, which made Lele a little confused.

Are all the Kanmusu girls so good-tempered? If the girls in their class were touched on the head by the boys like this, I'm afraid the powder keg in their hearts would have been ignited a long time ago.

Since he couldn't get them to chase and play with him, Lele had to be more proactive. "What are your names?"

At this time, Xinyue snorted and turned her head away, "The Queen said we can't play with you."

"But we were just chatting?"

The Royal Exiles were stunned for a moment. It seemed to be true. You can't say that chatting is also a kind of "playing", right?

"Okay, my name is Xinyue." So the orange-haired loli said her name very obediently.

"Hou, you answered so quickly, as if you were afraid that he would ignore your name."

Fox said to the beagle secretly.

"You're so long-winded!" Xinyue, who has always had excellent hearing, glared at Hu Ti.

Seeing that the Royal destroyers were slowly starting to pay less attention to him, Lele came to Nelson's rescue again, "So, Sister Nelson wasn't playing with me, she just brought me here to eat."

Nelson, who had been eavesdropping, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so?" The Royal Exiles were skeptical.

By this time, Tietouwa had gotten over his panic and had returned to his normal, heartless mode.

She repeated the words "Is that so?" in a voice louder than the other ship girls, then sat back in her chair and said to Lele,

"You, you are the human child born by our admiral, right?"

Lele nodded, then added weakly, "I am also an admiral now."

"But our Royal Navy shipgirls don't admit it! - Right?"

After saying this with great confidence, Firefly poked the crescent moon next to him and said, "Right?"

"Hmph!" Xinyue didn't agree with her.

"Pinch~right?"

Then, Firefly cast his clever eyes towards Foxy and the Beagle at the opposite table.

“…Ahahaha?”

After taking a look at Lele, who was cute and innocent-looking, Foxy and the beagle just laughed dryly a few times, seeming quite perfunctory.

"Hey! Why don't you guys talk to me? That's what Her Majesty the Queen said in the original text!"

The fireflies jumped.

She felt that the expulsion group's ambiguous attitude was completely disloyal to Her Majesty the Queen!

028 All Traitors

Tietouwa was making a fuss, and then the door of Ganwei's house was opened again.

"Oh...sister?"

Rodney walked into the room and looked at Nelson sitting at the counter in surprise.

"Uh, Rodney? Why are you here?"

Nelson asked somewhat unnaturally.

"I originally wanted to look for your sister, but when I passed by here just now, my legs couldn't help but step in...hehe." Rodney smiled gently, quite embarrassed.

"Greedy."

Nelson rolled his eyes.

"Sister, you too, right? This is the first time I've seen you come to Miss Mamiya's shop. I thought... Oh! Commander?"

Rodney was about to continue chattering when he saw Lele, and his lavender eyes suddenly emitted a light brighter than the stars.

Without waiting for Lele's response, Rodney rushed to him in a few small steps and hugged him, which made Nelson on the side stunned. Rodney usually walked slowly, and Nelson had never seen her walk as fast as she did now.

Because of the height difference, Lele's face was buried by her chest.

"It turns out that children's bodies are so soft," Rodney said with a happy expression.

It's over. This time even the Royal Warships have openly ignored Her Majesty's ban. Nelson sighed. She could already foresee that Queen Elizabeth's reputation would decline in the Royal camp.

Lele turned his head away and looked with some horror at the strange older sister who was hugging him tightly.

Rodney was unaware of the child's emotions, and continued to speak to him in a gentle tone, "Commander, how did you get this dessert shop?"

"I, I was brought here by Nelson."

Lele winked at Nelson from a distance, wanting her to take care of her sister.

Being suddenly hugged by a strange woman is extremely embarrassing.

"Wow, sister, you are not angry with the commander anymore? You even brought him here to Mamiya!"

Before Nelson could speak, Rodney spoke in surprise.

"Ahem... I've never been angry with him." Nelson coughed dryly.

As if he felt that just hugging the admiral was not enough, Rodney thought for a moment, then pulled Lele to a bench, sat down first, then hugged him, half-forcing him to sit on his lap.

“No…” Lele’s face turned red instantly.

"Ok?"

Rodney's gentle face passed over the little admiral's shoulder, almost touching his face, and then he looked at Lele with inquiring eyes.

“……”I’m not one of those little brats who needs to be coaxed.

Lele felt Rodney's breath hitting his face, and his ears suddenly felt warm. He sat awkwardly on Rodney's lap, mumbling for a long time, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

After all, I am not an extroverted child and I don’t know how to refuse requests from strangers.

"Ms. Mamiya! Three-flavor ice cream! I'll reimburse the commander for his expenses!" Seeing that Lele didn't say anything, Rodney also became bolder and said to Mamiya happily.

"Okay, okay, I didn't intend to ask Lele to pay the bill."

Mamiya, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled.

Nelson was so upset when he saw this. "Sister, you've gone too far. Didn't you see that Lele was so embarrassed and reluctant? Why did you insist on dragging him along?"

The little beagle stared straight at Rodney and Lele, and suddenly said, "The Admiral used to sit and hold me like this before."

The admiral she was referring to was naturally not Lele, but Li Dujin.

Upon hearing this, the royal expellees turned around and looked at her blankly. Soon, tears began to gather in their eyes.

"Admiral!" Hu Ti choked.

After that, the little girls began to wipe their tears and sob quietly, even the usually cheerful Ironhead was no exception. Rodney was a little surprised and a little regretful after seeing this: no one expected that their actions would trigger so many memories in the destroyers.

Before she could comfort him, Lele hurriedly jumped out of Rodney's arms and ran towards Loli's table.

Looking at these little girls who didn't even want to eat the delicious desserts on the table, Lele scratched his head. He racked his twelve-year-old brain but couldn't think of any words of comfort.

Finally, he could only pat his chest dryly and said,

"Don't be sad. It's just sitting on the admiral's lap. I can do that, too."

"……you?"

"Yes, after all, I am my mother's son - maybe sitting on me will be more comfortable than sitting on my mother." In order to stop the girl from crying, Lele gave it his all.

Hearing this, Hu Ti, who was still crying, curled his lips and said, "I don't believe it! - Unless you sit down for a while now!"

"……what?"

As he said that, Hu Ti jumped off the chair and actually dragged Le Le to sit in the seat he had just sat in. Then, with a red face, he sat on Le Le's thigh, which was neither thick nor thin.

If an aunt who is older than him were to have such intimate contact with him, Lele would not have imagined anything crazy: at most he would think that it was the care and love of an elder; but if a little girl who looked the same age as him were to be so intimate with him, Lele would have no choice but to imagine anything crazy.

Everyone knows that after the age of twelve, it is the turbulent adolescence.
