The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

Humanitarian ideas cannot outweigh the safety of more than 10 million people along the eastern coast.

Wang Lele opened the back door and got in the car obediently.

Also sitting in the back seat was the beautiful pink-haired older sister.

Seeing him, the pink-haired sister took out a candy from her arms and handed it to Lele.

"LeLe, do you want to eat?"

Lele nodded and took the candy with both hands.

"Thank you auntie."

"..."

The elder sister touched Lele's head and felt some emotion.

What a strong and lovely child, and he is also polite.

...If this child could change the address to 'sister', it would be even cuter.

Lele held a strawberry-flavored candy in his mouth and looked at the gradually unfamiliar scenery outside the window, feeling a little uneasy.

In the past, Lele's mother, Li Dujin, often took him to the garrison to play.

As he remembered, the aunties at the garrison were very warm and friendly to him.

He seemed to vaguely remember that his mother would often joke in front of the aunts that she would pick a ship girl from among them to be his child bride... Now that he thought about it, it was really funny.

However, for some reason, his mother never took him to the tutelary fort again after three years.

Therefore, Lele's impression of the aunts in the garrison gradually became vague and unfamiliar.

After all, children are most likely to forget things from the past.

Lele is not a naturally extroverted person, so suddenly plunging into a relatively new environment like this would certainly make him feel a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, when I think of the temperament of the ship girls...

After they know that their mother has sacrificed herself, they will surely be more sad and angry than him as a son. How will he face them then?

At this moment, the melancholy of leaving his school friends without saying goodbye flooded into his heart again. The troubled thoughts made the little boy frown deeply and look unhappy.

Seeing this, the pink-haired older sister, who simply thought he was afraid of going to the tutelary fort alone, gently placed her hand over his hand that was resting on the seat and said softly,

"Don't be afraid. The elder sisters in the tutelary fort are very kind. Tomorrow, I will pack my luggage and stay at your house for a while. During this time, I will teach you how to become a commander."

Lele turned the candy in his mouth and looked at her curiously.

"Aren't you my mother's ship girl?"

"No, I'm a ship girl working at the headquarters. In other words,"

She smiled and stuck out her tongue slightly.

"She's a ship girl without a commander."

"Oh~"

This sentence, which could instantly excite commanders who liked to salvage boats, sounded a bit ordinary to Lele.

After all, he is not a boat-salvaging maniac who came out of a formal military school education.

"So, what's your name, Auntie?"

She blinked.

"My name is Lexington. In addition to working at the headquarters, I am also a professional idol."

003 Meet again

The car drove out of the city, onto the national highway, into the counties and towns, and finally to the independent garrison along the coast.

On the highway on the mountainside, Lele saw the entire bird's-eye view of the garrison.

It’s so big!

Lele couldn't find any other suitable description in his mind except this word.

My mother works here.

Moreover, I have to rush home every day, and the driving time is not short. Twenty-five minutes is considered the fastest.

Mother……

Lele's eyes dimmed.

……

……

The car stopped in front of the big iron gate of the garrison.

"Please go get to know them first. My sister will be here tomorrow."

Lexington patted his head again.

Lele wanted to cry but had no tears.

This feeling is like my parents forcing me to live alone with unfamiliar relatives. It is extremely awkward.

Aunt, save me...

The car drove away in a cool manner. Lele didn't want to stay at the door like a little fool, so he chewed the strawberry candy in his mouth and swallowed it, then he plucked up his courage and went to the door.

Lele felt at a loss as to what to do at this door which had neither a doorbell nor a guard, so he had to knock gently on the railing iron door.

"squeak--"

As if in response to his knocking, the iron gate began to slowly open to both sides.

Oh, is it an automatic door?

Lele looked around and found a camera in the upper left corner.

So he gave the camera what he thought was a friendly smile.

But he suddenly became worried that he might be being a little too arrogant by laughing so deliberately, so he put away his smile, lowered his head with a blushing face, and quickly walked into the garrison.

"Click——"

The door slowly closed.

After entering the gate, there is a small square, which makes people feel open-minded.

There are many roads extending out of the square, and each one is marked with its location.

Lele stared blankly at the flowing stone fountain in the middle of the square, wondering where to go first.

As he was thinking, he saw two graceful figures walking towards him from the road towards the port.

They all wore clean white military uniforms, looking heroic, but compared with the black stockings underneath, they revealed a kind of temptation of pretending to be serious.

However, their expressions now are not very good, one looks indifferent and the other looks sad.

Soon, they found Wang Lele standing in the square with a small backpack printed with Kamen Rider Kuga.

Suddenly, expressions of surprise, disbelief, and excitement flooded their faces, washing away the previous unhappy expressions.

Just like a flower that has been withered for a long time suddenly finds moisture and blooms brilliantly.

As for them...Wang Lele has some memories.

They are old ship girls who have been with their mother - although, they are still beautiful now - they have been with me since I can remember.

Their names seem to be... Kaohsiung and Atago?

Lele felt a little embarrassed when he saw them walking towards him quickly.

I believe everyone has had this experience: when you meet friends you used to get along with very well again after a long time, you suddenly can’t find the unrestrained feeling you had when you were together.

Instead, I was worried that they might not recognize me and whether we could still be as close as before.

...This is Lele's situation.

However, the ship girl did not seem to have such social symptoms. When she arrived in front of Lele, Atago even let out a short and surprised cry - and then she immediately picked up Lele.

"LeLe~! LeLe! My little baby, you're finally here!"

With a whoosh, Atago spun around while holding Lele.

“It’s great that you’re so healthy.”

Kaohsiung also showed a relieved smile.

"Why haven't you come to the tutelary fort in the past few years?"

After greeting him warmly, Atago still didn't let him go. She let Lele's head rest on her chest and spoke in a questioning tone.

"Well - Mom won't bring me here."

Lele couldn't handle Atago being so intimate.

"Du Jin doesn't let you come? Why didn't you tell your sister? All of us, the warship girls of Sakura Empire, will stand up for you! Let's see if that guy Du Jin dares to stop you from coming..."

"Besides, you can come here secretly. Isn't there a bus from Jiangzhou City that goes to Haiwozi Village? You can take it there, and then spend ten yuan to take a motorcycle to the garrison... If you find it too expensive, you can always ask your sister to reimburse you. Not only will your sister give you the bus fare, she will also give you pocket money."

"During the time you were away, many people were listless and missed you..."

"...Yes, little baby, you have grown so big now. When Du Jin first became the admiral, you were still very small when I held you in my arms."

Atago held his face, looked left and right, became more and more happy, and couldn't help nagging like an old woman.

"Hey, sister, it's time to bring Master Lele to the office."

Kaohsiung couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly.

"Oh, oh, yes, I almost forgot that baby is here to take your mother's place, come on, come on..."

Atago put him down, took his hand, walked a few steps with a smile on her face, but suddenly came to her senses.

"By the way, baby, about your mother..."

Lele nodded.

"Yeah, I know everything."

Atago touched his head, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

"Alas, poor little treasure, at such a young age, he has to... Du Jin, Du Jin..."

"……Do not worry."

Kaohsiung's eyes also turned red, and he said coldly, "I will protect Master Lele and will not let you become like your mother... I guarantee it with my life!"

Lele looked up at them and said, "Can I ask how my mother died...?"

"… Let's talk about this later. Come on, let's go first, okay?"

As if she cared about Lele's feelings, Atago chose not to answer this question for the time being and begged like this.

"Oh."

Lele nodded obediently, although she felt a little disappointed.

They led Lele to walk on the road to the office building. Suddenly, Atago seemed to think of something again. She let out a cry and burst into laughter.

"By the way, baby, do you still remember who we are?"

Almost forgot to ask this.

Atago smiled sweetly, but the meaning behind her smile was completely understood by Lele: Little guy, if you dare to forget my name, just wait and see.

Kaohsiung, who was standing next to him with a serious face, also pricked up his ears and waited for Lele's answer.

Fortunately, this is not a problem for Lele.

He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled easily, and responded sweetly:

"Of course I still remember, Aunt Atago, Aunt Kaohsiung."
