The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

"Okay, okay. Since you don't come to Huanwan, why do you want to investigate here?" Eugen asked again.

"I'm not coming. But the iron-blooded ship girls in my fleet who are going to support you will be stationed here permanently." Egil gestured to Eugen to look at Elbe and Prince Heinrich who were following behind Shiranui.

"Oh..." Prince Eugen smiled meaningfully. In the end, there were still new iron-blooded ship girls coming.

"...Look at that expression on your face. Are you thinking about something bad?" Egil raised his eyebrows.

"No."

"..." No? Egil can read your inner thoughts from your expression: Once you come to our port, don't even think about leaving... or something like that.

"Sister Eugen, you came to the store to buy something?" Lele interrupted the topic in time.

Eugen said lovingly, "No, I just heard my stupid sister tell me the whereabouts of the admiral, so I came to see my most favorite admiral return."

Sigh! I really can't stand this ship girl! Egil turned his face away and snorted silently.

Lele was used to hearing Prince Eugen's cheesy words, so he was not too upset. However, it was still embarrassing for him to say these things in front of outsiders. He put aside his plan to test Egil's shamelessness and had no choice but to deal with Eugen's teasing with a smile.

After a while, Shiranui returned to Lele with Elbe and Prince Heinrich, who were pushing two shopping carts: "It's done."

"these things……"

Yi Bei pointed at the cutely patterned blankets, towels, toothbrushes, stuffed dolls, and other items on the shopping cart, and asked curiously, "Are these all free items that shipgirls can get when they join the port?"

"Not free."

Shiranui returned to the front counter and punched numbers into the computer: "But you're not the ones paying."

"Eh……?"

Yi Bei doesn't understand.

Shiranui glanced at her, his eyes revealing a look of "You have to think about this?", and said lightly, "It will all be counted on Admiral Huanwan's account. Do you understand?"

"How can this be--!" Prince Heinrich, who had just taken more things than Yi Bei, cried out, then quickly glanced at Lele and said awkwardly: "We, we are not Admiral Wang's ship girls, we are just stationed here, how can we let him spend money..."

"it's okay no problem."

Lele quickly said, "They said it was against me, but it wasn't my pocket money that was deducted. It was taken directly from the port's operating expenses... It doesn't matter."

Well, that feeling is also weird, isn't it? It's a bit like being fed up with this guy's money...

Prince Eugen looked at the two Iron Blood Empire shipgirls who were about to enter the port with satisfaction, as if he was looking at two fine toys, and said, "Our admiral said it's okay, so it's okay. Also, don't treat our admiral like a child. No matter what, he is still the admiral."

If Lele was an adult man, Prince Heinrich and Yi Bei would probably feel at ease taking things, right? Because they felt that he was not a vulnerable person... Well, subconsciously, Heinrich still regarded Lele as a child who needed protection.

But looking at Lele's sincere eyes, not to mention Heinrich who had always supported Captain Happy, even Yibei couldn't say anything about paying for it.

She originally wanted to use a humorous tone to talk nonsense, using her naturally awkward personality to deal with the situation in order to diffuse the atmosphere of wanting to thank someone, but in the end, she blushed and said honestly, "Well, then thank you, Admiral of Huanwan."

Lele once again showed a happy smile of helping others: "You're welcome."

My fun... It's so dazzling, I feel like it's about to purify Yi Bei, a ship girl with a shady personality...

Then, in order to prevent Eugen from staying by his side and causing trouble, Lele begged her to take Elbe and Prince Heinrich to the Iron Blood dormitory first, while he and Beika would stay with Egil and Kirov while they went to the foreign guests' guesthouse.

Prince Eugen, who had originally wanted to use his tricks on Yi Bei and the others, nodded and asked them to push the cart and leave the mall with him.

Kirov and Chkalov also came over.

"There's no rush to move in," Kirov said. "Is this place far from your office? If it's close, we'd like to visit your office first."

"This is the core area. My office building is indeed closer than the guesthouse..." Lele nodded, "Okay, go if you want."

Egil gave Kirov a puzzled look, as if to say, he didn't know why these Northern Alliance ship girls would suddenly make such a request.

Well... Actually, Chkalov, who had a private chat with Kirov, also knew that her sudden proposal was not mixed with too many serious thoughts.

"Captain Happy's office... that should be where he uses his equipment to broadcast live... I want to make a pilgrimage to that sacred place! To pay my respects! To see it!"

Kirov's expression was calm, even a little cold, but his heart was trembling with excitement, filled with the strong will of a otaku who wanted to make a pilgrimage to the holy land of the two-thorn ape.

374 The Toy-chan is in Trouble Again

After leaving the store in Akashi and just arriving at the small parking lot with neatly marked white lines in front of the store, Lele met a Sakura Empire shipgirl driving a golf cart - a small vehicle that can seat five or six people.

"Ah...ha! Isn't this Master Lele?"

The handsome older sister from Sakura with a ponytail saw Lele and waved happily. The gentle older sister in the passenger seat next to her heard her shouting and left her seat slightly to see Lele. Then, she waved to him in a reserved manner.

"Sister Zuikaku, Sister Shokaku."

Lele waved to the two aircraft carrier sisters from the Sakura Empire's Fifth Carrier Battle.

Ruihe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was anxious and didn't park the car in the parking lot. He drove crookedly to the side, jumped out, and ran to Lele in a few jumps. As usual, he bent down and hugged Lele.

Egil next to him was so numbed by the sight. No, sister, is it the culture of your port area that you must have close physical contact with the admiral when you meet him? It's so corny.

Egil thought it was corny, but deep down, he probably envied the two-way relationship between the admiral and the ship girl.

"That's so rude, Zuikaku."

Zuikaku's sister, Shokaku, who is as beautiful as a crane fairy, stepped down from the golf cart gracefully.

"Who told me that I haven't seen Lord Lele for three days?" Ruihe smiled casually.

As the proprietress of Huanwan Hot Spring Restaurant, Xianghe has all the characteristics that a proprietress should have: modest, gentle, considerate, and warm-hearted. Especially when facing Lele, her gentle personality will be fully reflected.

Well... even such a perfect and gentle proprietress would lose control from time to time when facing her predecessors in the First Air Force, Akagi and the others. There are historical reasons for this, and there is also the fact that she feels a little jealous that Lele is too partial to Akagi and the others.

"Let's not talk about this for now... Where are you going, Master Lele? I'll give you a ride!"

Zuikaku pointed at the golf cart with a white roof. The port area is very large, so there are many free-to-use small vehicles like this.

"I need to bring my superior... uh, leader? To visit my office." Lele answered honestly.

"Leader?"

Zuikaku glanced at Egil and the others. Well, she didn't really want to talk to the ship girls outside the port area. It wasn't that she was a mysophobe, but she had been in the fleet for a long time and was used to socializing in her circle of acquaintances. When she saw a foreign ship girl, she would... be socially anxious.

So Zuikaku didn't say hello to Egil, but whispered to Beika. After hearing the answer, he was a little confused.

This is strange. Which foreign leader in history would ask Li Dujin to visit her office? There is no precedent, right?

It's called an office, but for the admiral, it's a very private place. If those foreign ship girls didn't have a close relationship with the admiral, they wouldn't ask to visit.

But she quickly shook her head and forced Lele to get in the car: "Okay! I'll take you. ... And you, come on in too."

"Uh, thanks?"

Zuikaku seemed to be quite distant towards Egil, and the latter didn't want to curry favor with someone who was not friendly enough.

……

Back at the familiar office building, some of the ship girls working there couldn't help but stick their heads out when they heard the noise outside.

Before Lele was there, the office building was very busy every day. But since Lele went to the headquarters, except for the ship girls who had to work in the office building, basically no other ship girls were willing to come here. Now it is normal to look out the window when you hear the noise outside.

And, of course, they saw Lele's return.

"...You're back." Shangri-La from the secretarial department pushed up her glasses and looked away after just a glance. She didn't show any excessive excitement, at most she said in her heart that it was good.

As clerks working in an office building, Shangri-La and Lele see each other all the time. There is no need to make a fuss. They are an old married couple...Okay, okay, the last word was just Shangri-La's fantasy.

"Mr. Lele... Admiral... Master!"

The famous car, which was clumsily cleaning the corridor on the second floor, also saw Lele getting off the car in front of the office building at first sight and smiled quietly...but the shouting of the name changed three times, so it seemed that the smile was not quiet at all.

"what?"

The voice of Renown, who was dressed in a maid outfit, was very low, but the head maid Belfa, who was very sensitive to the name Lele, immediately opened the door of the admiral's office and walked out.

Befa did not go to the door to greet Lele, but as a diligent maid, she tried her best to create the most comfortable atmosphere for Lele in the office.

Looking down the corridor, she did see Lele, and Belfa also smiled, but when she saw three more ship girls she didn't know getting off the car, the maid's smile faded a lot.

…When Lele was almost reaching the stairwell, Befa had already walked down the stairs gracefully, holding up her skirt with one hand.

"Sister Beifa, you don't have to come down to greet me."

"A servant who does not take the initiative to greet his master is useless."

Lele shook his head helplessly.

Hmm...maid. Kirov raised his eyebrows and looked at Belfast, who was wearing a proper royal classical maid dress. After the unification of the North, there was no concept of servants in their country. Even Kirov himself was quite ashamed of this master-servant relationship.

But when she saw Lele's maid, she surprisingly didn't feel too disgusted. Is this another way of saying that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?

"Let me introduce you. This is Belfast, the one who takes care of me and is one of the best people in the world to me." Lele introduced Belfast to the three ship girls.

Befa was so excited that her face turned red: "Yes. Hello. I am the humble maid who respects the young master the most."

Although she was proud of her maid status, Beifa also knew that Lele deliberately omitted her maid status to treat Beifa equally with his thinking. She was very happy, but compared with the title of "one of the best people to him" by the young master, the previous happiness seemed insignificant.

"It can be seen that you have a very good communication relationship." Kirov nodded. After they introduced themselves, she continued: "Let's go to the comrade's office quickly!"

I can’t wait for it to get spicy, please serve it quickly!

……

I have to say that although I have been looking forward to Lele's office for a long time, when I actually went to see it, it seemed to be similar to all other offices. Except for the reception area with a sofa, which seemed to have a bit of life atmosphere because Lele would rest there from time to time, everything seemed quite ordinary.

"Um……"

Kirov, who was most eager to visit, fell into deep thought. It was really unexpected... She thought that Lele's office was full of childishness, or full of the atmosphere of "Happy Captain", such as changing the wallpaper to starry sky stickers, and changing the desk to a table shaped like an airship, and so on.

But unexpectedly, his office was so boring that there wasn't even a toy or decoration that could show his childishness. So pragmatic! So pragmatic that even Kirov couldn't help but stand up for Lele.

He wanted to grab his secretary, Beika, or the head maid, Beifa, by the collar and ask them why they had the heart to stop Lele from remodeling his office as he pleased.

Walking around the side of the desk and avoiding the view that was previously blocked by the pile of documents and the computer screen, Kirov was suddenly surprised to find a very eye-catching figurine on Lele's desk.

"what?!"

The exaggerated shout scared everyone, including Lele.

"What's wrong?" Lele was stunned.

Kirov pointed at the white-haired succubus figurine that suddenly appeared on Lele's desk and said in a tone of reluctance and surprise: "This, this statue that looks exactly like the Prime Minister of the O-class large cruiser Egil, what's going on?"

Egil, who had been somewhat aloof from the matter, was stunned for a moment, then immediately blushed.

375 What interesting things will happen?

From the moment Kirov spoke Egil's full name, we can tell that at some point, Kirov felt that Egil really deserved to die:

Oh my god, why is there a figurine that looks very much like the leader of a country that she dislikes on my idol Captain Happy’s ordinary desk?

Especially when he thought about the plain decoration of Lele's office and the lack of toys that showed off his hobbies, but there was such an abrupt figure on such an ordinary and rigid desk, Kirov felt even more distressed.

It's so painful that it can't be explained by just one word of contrast!

Why?

Egil and Lele knew each other, and Kirov knew that. But she didn't know when did Egil and Lele become so close? How close were they?

So good that Egil allowed Lele to put the figurine based on her on the table for viewing?

Moreover, this thing (referring to the succubus figurine) is dressed so revealingly! A bikini, all white, and posing in a coquettish manner...

Thinking back to when Egil innocently scolded Lele, the ship girl, not to be too presumptuous at the Akashi store, Kirov wanted to laugh.

What a pretentious and secretive person, the great Prime Minister of the Iron-Blooded Country!

"..."

For a moment, Egil was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She was a big girl who easily overloaded her red temperature...but she had to encounter such a thing related to her innocence, and the key was that she couldn't refute it!

Now, Egil stood there in a daze without saying a word, but his whole body was tense because of the shame. His hands, which were originally hanging casually, were now clasped together and pressed tightly between his legs.

Well, Egil-chan just made them stand at attention and at ease.

Lele was also startled. But fortunately, his reaction was much better than that of Egil who was controlled by Hong Wen. He whispered to Beifa, "...Didn't you confiscate my figurines before? Why did you bring them out again?"

"This……"

The head maid said it was hard for her to say. It was really hard to say.

I can't tell the truth: Ever since Master Lele conquered her, Befa's mind has been relaxed a lot, she is not jealous anymore, and she doesn't care much about him putting the succubus figurine on the desk. She even wants to please the young master, so she takes out the figurine when he is not around, and puts it in order, hoping that he will see this little surprise when he comes back...

This time the surprise turned into a surprise...

"Yes, there are two reasons." Beifa would not hide it from Lele, but just said, "One is not convenient to tell now. The other is that I just don't want to restrict you from putting what you like on the table."
