The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

"..."

"Seniors!"

Seeing that the atmosphere of the entire fleet was suddenly extremely depressing, Centaur-chan forced a smile and said to them,

"You guys, would you like to think about the bright side? For example, oh, that one, for example, Senior Lele is the new admiral or something like that...?"

Sirius, who had been following the other cruisers as a guard on the periphery, couldn't help but get close to the middle of the aircraft carrier and the battleship girl and said,

"I think that the profit-seeking guys at the KanColle headquarters will not allow the respected young master to become an admiral."

Hearing this, the elegant Hood could not help but nod slightly and frowned, "Yes, the people at the headquarters have always been conservative. I'm afraid they won't take the risk of letting the young Lele... Sorry, I spoke out of turn."

When Hood realized that the fleet girls were becoming more desperate because of his words, he quickly stopped talking.

Sirius looked at her, but nodded and added, "But I think that given my proud young master's character, he would not condescend to come to a mere tutelary fort like this."

Although there was pride in Sirius' words, there was still some bitterness.

Ever since Master Lele stopped coming to the garrison without saying a word three years ago, Sirius, who had always placed himself at the bottom of the social ladder, has become even more humble.

In her mind, the young master must have left because he disliked the garrison and thought Sirius, who had always followed him as a bodyguard, was too boring.

Come to think of it, young master, he is the young master that makes countless people proud in every aspect.

How could the young master stop just because of such a tutelage and facing such a Sirius?

The ship girl returned to silence, and Sirius once again entered a state of autism several times a day.

The Centaurs were almost depressed and autistic. I never thought that my words could not comfort the seniors, but made them more desperate...

Lele?

The Prince of Wales, however, remained expressionless and merely repeated his name in his mind.

She found that when the Centaur mentioned "LeLe", the eyes of almost all the royal ship girls lit up, except for the Monarch class who had been silent.

The Prince of Wales had only come to the naval base in the past three years, so naturally he did not understand the inexplicable "joyful feelings" possessed by these older generation shipgirls.

However, I heard that Lele seems to be only twelve years old until now...

I don’t know if Lele will be as cute as the little netizen I met when I was surfing the Internet two years ago.

"V music, ah."

The Prince of Wales couldn't help but smile knowingly when he remembered that Lele and his netizen's online name both contained the word "Le".

When I was temporarily stationed in Guam for supplies, I had some free time and chatted with that little netizen through the Internet there.

Thinking back to when the little netizen said that he had a cold, the Prince of Wales felt a chill in his heart, and a faint melancholy spread in his heart.

This melancholy was even heavier than when he heard that a new admiral would take over in Huanwan.

Hope he can get better soon.

……

Therefore, the Third Fleet, with an extremely depressed atmosphere, moved towards the Huanwan Garrison little by little, unwillingly but helplessly.

They were like a group of death row prisoners about to be executed, with no hope and no emotions.

And when he returned to the garrison and met the unfamiliar new admiral, it was like the executioner's knife falling on his head.

Really hopeless.

041 The Crazy First Fleet

When the other ship girls of the Third Fleet heard that the new admiral had taken office without their knowledge, even if they were desperate, they would at least complain a few words. Only the Monarch remained silent from beginning to end.

I was so tired that I couldn't speak.

She was originally the first batch of ships manufactured by the Donghuang Marine Science and Technology Research Institute based on human will, and was destined to be directly under the KanColle Headquarters.

However, the Sirens disaster became more and more serious in the past few years. In order not to waste the Monarch's powerful strength, after research and discussion, the KanColle Headquarters decided to send the Monarch to the Weihai Garrison, which was the most severely damaged on the eastern coast.

After being assigned to the Weihai Garrison, although the monarch performed well, her extraordinary consumption of resources offset the Weihai commander's good impression of her.

As one of the first batch of ships, it certainly has many bright spots, but it also has its shortcomings. For example, it eats more than an aircraft carrier, and consumes a huge amount of supplies every time it goes into battle...Except for the ship's headquarters and the large garrison, no one else can afford to support it.

Therefore, after the Siren disaster subsided, Commander Wei Hai immediately wrote a letter requesting that the Monarch be returned to headquarters.

Commander Wei Hai's textbook example of abandoning a donkey after it has served its purpose once again broke the heart of the monarch, who was already very sensitive to being abandoned.

So that's how it is. It seems that there was a reason why the royal family gave up manufacturing themselves and turned to producing the KVG-class, which had various defects in their own eyes.

The monarch returned to the headquarters and lived a life of despair.

Fighting in the garrison was frowned upon because of the high energy consumption, so what would happen if we returned to the headquarters?

The monarch does not have the iron heart that the military police need, so the work of the Ship Girl Military Police is naturally not done well; as for clerical work, the light cruisers at the headquarters do it much better than himself, and their appetite is much smaller than his, so the cost-effectiveness is high; as for external negotiations, he does not have the eloquence to match them...

All in all, apart from combat, the KanColle Headquarters needs all kinds of talents, but unfortunately, the Monarch is only suitable for combat.

Just when the monarch's life was about to reach its darkest moment, Li Dujin appeared.

As the governor of the most wealthy and powerful Huanwan Garrison in the southeast, Li Dujin accepted her with great generosity.

Li Dujin, who originally came to the KanColle headquarters to submit the financial summary of the year, decided to carry the monarch back to his own naval base after learning about her experience as she had been wandering around the headquarters like a salted fish.

And what happens next is very simple.

A gentleman will die for his friend. Admiral Du Jin does not despise her own shortcomings and always encourages herself. The ship girls in the Bay Garrison are also much friendlier than those in the Weihai Garrison. Although there are still worthless KVGs like Prince of Wales who are always in her way, she firmly believes that this is a misfortune that must be accepted when welcoming happiness.

The monarch who had been wandering in the boundless ocean finally found his home. This was originally a cause for celebration, but...

Less than two years after I came here, Li Dujin passed away.

This feeling is indescribable. It's like finding a warm home, but before you can even warm yourself up, you're kicked out again.

The moment of being abandoned seems to be coming again.

She didn't dare to hope that the new admiral would accept her like Li Dujin did.

Therefore, the other ship girls were worried that the new admiral would disrupt the atmosphere of the naval base, but the monarch was worried that the new admiral would abandon him.

This mentality is even more heartbreaking.

……

After sailing for an unknown amount of time, the dazed Third Fleet saw the horizon appear in their sight.

The Ring Bay Tutelary Fort is back.

In the past, when they went back to the garrison, they were always eager to return home, wishing they could teleport here in the next second. This was their sweet home.

But now... let’s not talk about it.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry…let’s go?” Guanghui gently comforted the unicorn whose tears were welling up in her eyes again, but there was also a lingering sense of sadness between her own brows.

The destroyer girls who were exploring the way ahead, such as Queen, Enthusiast, Jersey, and Sheffield Maid, were the first to see the outline of the garrison building. Even though they were a little scared, they were still calm because they knew that at any time, it was always right to follow the advice of the aircraft carriers and battleships.

As for the two old royal maids, Kusora and Curlew, who were on the light frigate, they were more worried about whether Belfast and other maids stationed in the garrison were fulfilling their duties than the unknown new admiral...

Needless to say, Sirius' words were still full of the shadow of her proud young master.

The battleships Hood and Prince of Wales looked at each other silently for a moment, and finally gave the order:

"Speed ​​up... We are going home."

Family?

The girls of the Royal Navy looked up blankly.

Without Li Dujin's garrison, is it still their home?

……

Lingang.

With the excellent eyesight of the Royal Navy's ship girls, they had already seen Akagi, wearing a simple black kimono, walking quickly out of the temporary supply depot.

The people from the First Fleet actually returned earlier than those from the Third Fleet?

But Akagi's expression at this time was not good at all.

She led her sister Kaga, as well as the ship girls of the First Fleet, including the Yanyang-class and Aoba-class, and walked towards Feilong and Feiying who were welcoming them home.

The entire fleet exudes the same resentment as the Royal Navy's ship girls.

After seeing this, the aircraft carrier Centaur couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

She knew very well that if the new admiral was Du Jin's child, Wang Lele, Chi Cheng would definitely not show such a resentful and murderous aura.

Well, if the new admiral is not Lele...

When the Centaur saw Akagi meeting up with Feilong and Feiying and starting to quarrel, she felt dizzy and finally passed out.

……

……

"I heard that a new admiral has arrived, huh?"

Feilong, Canglong, Feiying and some of the Sakura Empire's expellees who came to join in the fun greeted Akagi and the others with smiles on their faces. However, before they could say anything, Akagi started to retort.

Her expression was completely cold, and she said, "I don't want to hear anything else from you. I just want to ask you, is this right?"

Feiying blinked blankly and glanced at his sister Shunying who was behind Akagi.

Falcon Eagle had a sad look on her face, and she didn't notice the hint that Sister Flying Eagle gave her at all.

So, Eagle scratched his head and said, "Yes, but..."

"Those bastards at Kanmusu Headquarters!"

Upon hearing this, Akagi instantly flew into a rage, so great was her anger that even the paper planes flying around her began to burn with red flames.

Kaga beside her was not so angry. She just looked at the commander's office building standing in the distance with icy eyes.

"I don't want a new admiral!"

"Reject! Reject!"

"I can, I can give up, new, new ..."

The expelled lolis also started shouting, with Prince Xiangruixue and Yangyan shouting the loudest.

Next to her, King Kong, a woman who had returned from studying abroad, did not make a scene. She just silently dusted off the salt on her light blue cap.

"Hmph, the new admiral has taken office. I will run away from home tonight and go to the city to find Lord Wang, and then love him well..."

Kongo, who had always looked calm, suddenly changed his expression and turned around to strangle her sister Kirishima.

"If you hide behind me and imitate me again, I will strangle you to death!"

"Wow, sister, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Kirishima begged.

"I don't know if the new commander is handsome or not."

Dafeng, however, behaved a little strangely.

"It's a male admiral, right? Right? Then my low-cut dress seems to be useful."

However, although her mouth was full of seductive words, Dafeng's eyes were visibly gray. Obviously, she was speaking in a sarcastic way, and it was also obvious that she loved the admiral alone, and now, and in the future, she might not be able to tolerate another person.

Giving a disdainful look to Taiho who had been showing off, Akagi said in a deep voice, "Admiral Du Jin... is clearly not dead! Absolutely! Not! Dead! - People from Sakura Empire, follow me, capture that new admiral! Kill him! To clear the court of corrupt officials!"

"Qingjun side!"

The shipgirls of the First Fleet shouted.

Seeing that the Sakura Empire fleet was almost turning into an anti-shogunate fleet that "eliminated the enemy for the emperor", Canglong pushed his glasses and growled through gritted teeth:

"What do you mean by clearing out the emperor's side? Could it be that you want to get rid of even Lord Lele?"

Lele… ?

Akagi, who had been full of rage just now, was suddenly stunned.

...How many years has it been since I heard this name?

Or, in other words: How long has it been since Li Dujin strictly prohibited the ship girls from contacting Wang Lele?

Many times at night, I dreamed of holding Lele in my arms again, even just once, and I would be satisfied...
