While Baltimore was happily talking to Lele, Bumblebee quickly came over and kept calling her, "Baltimore! Come on, come on!"

"Hey, Doolittle." Baltimore walked up to Bumblebee with a confused look on his face. "Why do you look like that? Do you mean you don't welcome me back to Hong Kong?"

"Nah."

Bumblebee waved his hand and followed the White Eagle ship girl next to him to explain how the Second Fleet invited Commander An Hua to Huanwan a few days ago and almost slapped Wang Lele in the face. Then he said pitifully, "Damn! You are so cool, you can definitely think of a way to make Lele happy again."

Baltimore laughed.

"You guys are really good at making trouble. But I think Lele doesn't take it to heart."

Looking back at the child who was busy responding to other people's greetings, she added, "Besides, even if the child is still angry, I don't have the ability to change his good impression. So... Ouch."

Baltimore looked at the sports watch on his wrist, "It's already this late. I heard that the first work of the new era, Kamen Rider 01, has already started airing. Then I'll take my leave and go back to watch special effects."

After waving to Bumblebee, Baltimore warned them again, "By the way, don't tell Lele about me watching Kamen Rider. If he thinks that I'm disgusted by watching special effects, then our impression points of the White Eagle camp will be deducted again. Let's go."

"Wow, you walk so coolly."

Bumblebee looked at the confused Enterprise and said, "Enterprise, don't you also watch Kamen Rider? Why don't you exchange experiences with Motorcycle?"

"Me? I've seen it."

Enterprise was silent for a while, then pleaded, "By the way, what Baltimore said makes sense. Let's not let Lele know about our visit to Kamen Rider, otherwise..."

Although Enterprise seems strong and handy in fighting and handling affairs, when it comes to dealing with relatives... Enterprise seems to be at a loss. And it is precisely because he is not good at dealing with human relationships that Enterprise cares about the feelings of the people he cares about.

Oh my, if one day, Lele said to himself with disgust, "Tokusatsu chefs are so disgusting," Enterprise would jump off the building in a moment.

"Don't worry. I will keep this secret." Bumblebee clenched his fist.

White Eagle was plotting a plan to improve the new admiral's favorability, while Iron Blood had to tell on the little princess when he saw her return.

"Princess--!"

Scharnhorst was so stubborn that he pulled Deutschland, who had not met Lele, over, and Count Spee also came along.

"What's wrong!"

Being dragged over by Shane, the arrogant Germany seemed very dissatisfied, "I haven't seen that lowly creature pay tribute to me yet."

"Princess," Shane said bitterly, "Now that kid has surpassed Du Jin and become the admiral! And we almost made enemies with him, and he has made our Iron Blood Dormitory a mess. We hope that you will use an iron fist to at least make him leave the dormitory."

"Is this still happening??"

The iron-blooded little princess widened her eyes.

"Uh……"

Scharn's sister Gneisenau didn't want to join her in making complaints, but after being constantly hinted at by her eyes, Gneisenau finally sighed.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

"So that's it."

Germany smiled meaningfully, then shouted, "That one over there! A lower-class creature shorter than the others! Come here!"

After hearing Deutschland's shout, Lele, who was the center of attention, said goodbye to the other task force girls, and then walked over hesitantly.

"...Germany?"

"You should call me Princess, you lowly creature." Germany narrowed his eyes.

"My lord princess."

Lele replied to Germany obediently and then covered her mouth and laughed.

I didn't expect there were so many chuunibyou in Minato.

Lele has never seen other girls call her princess since kindergarten.

Germany was the first.

"This is a serious matter, don't laugh!"

Germany said in a deep voice, "You have a problem with my subjects?"

Lele looked at Shane subconsciously and said, "No."

"Really? But I think you do."

Germany sneered and looked suddenly at Scharn and Gneisenau, "Well, lowly creatures, let me ask you, how should I punish these two idiots so that you will be happy."

Wow, wow! Shane opened his mouth wide, thinking he had heard wrongly. Your Highness, the Princess, seems to be leaning towards this Wang Lele?

Lele was also stunned. Obviously, he had not expected such a scene. He thought that Dezhi had called him here to call him to question him.

"It is indeed a low-level creature, not smart enough."

Germany snorted, "The only low-level creatures in the world that this princess can look at with any respect are you and Li Dujin. If I don't pity you, who else can I pity? Is that so? Hey, Sister Spei, show some appreciation."

Count Spee, who was standing quietly, walked slowly to Lele after hearing his sister's words. Then, he protected Lele and faced Shane and the group of unconvinced ship girls. He frowned slightly and bared his teeth at them.

He looks like a loyal dog.

It was really a brain-burning thing! In the end, Shane could only cover his forehead in despair: Who could have known that all the upper echelons of the Iron Blood Camp would be on Lele's side?

It’s over, it’s over. It looks like today is the day of my death (disassembly date).

117 Lucky E skill, activated!

"One, two, three, eggplant."

In the end, Spey managed to take photos of Lele and Shane showing affection.

Moreover, Shane was now much more cooperative than before, and he naturally put his arms around Lele's waist, his chin lightly pressing on Lele's left shoulder, and the smile on his face was even brighter than Lele's.

"Hey, that's right."

Germany laughed a few standard queen laughs, "You creatures who are not on the same level as me must get along with each other in order to survive. Let's go, Spey."

After delivering assists to his younger brothers in his camp, Germany waved his hand proudly and left lightly with Count Spee.

After taking the photos, Shane continued to hug Lele with a sullen face. Lele had no choice but to say tactfully, "Sister Shane, we have finished taking the photos, right?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Shane asked.

"Sister Shane, now that we're done taking pictures, we don't have to be so close, right?"

"I, I can't hear you. Can you say it again?"

"I've finished taking the photos..."

"No, no, please speak completely. Say it again."

Lele continued patiently, "Sister Shane, we've finished taking the photos..."

Every time Lele mentioned Sister Shane, Scharnhorst would shudder, as if he had eaten a whole chilled watermelon in the dog days of summer.

But this time, he didn't finish his words. Prince Eugen, who had stopped watching the show, came over and kicked the shameless Scharnhorst ten miles away: "Hey, crawl, crawl! Wait until you are willing to lower your face to apologize to Lele and reflect on your mistakes before playing with Lele!"

Then she smiled and grabbed Lele's shoulders, "Come on, Lele, let's play together."

Lele took Eugen's hand away apologetically, "I'm sorry... Sister Eugen, I want to hear the detailed process and report of Yixian and the others' voyage. Let's play together again when we have the chance."

As he said that, he trotted forward a few steps and left Eugen, waved to her, and then walked towards Yixian and the Four Divine Beasts who were waving at him with a smile.

"Oh, busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy." Prince Eugen's eyes were filled with tears.

"Damn, she speaks like an old woman." Hipper couldn't help but complain.

Count Zeppelin, who had been silent all this time, turned and left.

She wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with Germany, greet her, ask about her health... ahem, and then ask her if she could also give her an assist to get closer to Wang Lele, hmm.

……

On the way back to the office building.

"So, Sister Yixian, did you find anything?"

Fushun, who has always been lively, didn't want to see Lele's hopes being shattered. She was about to shout that Du Jin was not dead, but Anshan and Changchun quickly covered her mouth.

Yixian's eyes darkened. "I'm sorry, Lele, we haven't found anything yet. If nothing unexpected happened, Dujin's death should have already happened."

Lele nodded.

"Then... I'll ask Beika to sort out this report when I get back, and report the news of my mother... Li Dujin's confirmed death to the KanColle headquarters."

Yixian rubbed Lele’s head.

She didn't know why, but when she saw that Lele didn't cry when she heard the bad news, she felt like crying instead.

Sad for this strong little guy.

"Lebao... don't be too sad, things will get better in the future." Taiyuan whispered. This could be considered a subtle reminder to him.

Lele smiled and nodded again.

……

Beika, who had finished his clerical work on the first floor, returned to the admiral's office with some back pain.

Oh, really, it's all Belfast's fault. Because after she took away Reputation and said she wanted to train her to be a maid, the original work of the Personnel Department was suddenly put on North Carolina, who was a secretary. In the end, she had to work two jobs at a time, and it was free work without double pay. It was so infuriating.

Why not let the admiral appoint a few more people to be secretaries here... Oh no.

Beika rolled his eyes and then rejected his idea: Forget it.

Secretary Ship Secretary Ship, as the name suggests, anyone who can hold this position can freely enter and exit the admiral's office. Beika discovered that since Lele became the new admiral, almost half of the ship girls were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, making it seem like they had a second spring and a tree of iron had blossomed.

Before that group of ship girls calm down and are no longer so excited, Beika thinks it would be better not to recruit a secretary so quickly.

Otherwise, those guys would probably beat each other to a pulp in order to fight for the secretary position and get close to the new admiral.

Opening the office door—ah! Beika could finally see something that could make her happy: Wang Lele!

At this moment, Lele was not sitting at the desk as he usually did, pretending to be a little adult waiting for Beika to open the door. Instead, he was lying listlessly on the sofa, exuding a low-pressure aura.

Beika thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Admiral, I'm back after finishing my work."

"Oh...ah! Okay, I get it. Very well done, Sister Beika."

Lele, who was still in a daze just now, suddenly came to his senses, quickly stood up from the sofa, and gave Beika verbal encouragement in time.

Then, as if worried that just praising her verbally was not enough, Lele smiled and gave Beika a thumbs up: "Great!"

Looking at Lele's humorous actions, Beika chuckled: "Mr. Young Admiral, too much praise will make the ship girl get carried away."

"Y-really?"

"Of course, you are very similar to Du Jin in this respect. She never hesitates to give praise... That's why the ship girls around the bay love her so much."

"That's right, haha."

Lele looked at her thumb and smiled shyly. Does she look like her mother? It would be great if she could give the other shipgirls around the bay a sense of familiarity like her mother.

Although he has not yet mastered two thousand skills, it is enough if he can protect the happiness of the ship girls.

As Beika sat on the sofa with Lele, something moved.

Now Belfort is training the Renown, and I don’t know what Sirius is doing. Now there are only the Admiral and myself in the office.

Why not take this opportunity to get to know each other better?

"Mr. Young Admiral," Beika coughed dryly, "Look, since we are going to work together and advance and retreat together in the future, shouldn't we communicate with each other and get to know each other better?"

"Okay."

"So... Admiral, what are your hobbies?"

"Well……"

Lele pursed her lips, "...I like studying, does that count?"

"..."

Facing Beika's suddenly raised eyebrows and playful expression, Lele blushed and changed the topic, "Don't look at me like that - okay, I was just lying to you."

"I knew it." Beika snorted.

"How do you know I don't like studying?" Now it was Lele's turn to be puzzled.

"I knew it since I saw you shaking your head at the homework assigned by the graduate school, playing with the pen and drawing little people on the paper." Speaking of this, Beika couldn't help laughing.

Lele nodded in confusion at first, then said in panic, "Wait, weren't you all away when I was doing my homework? Why do you know this?"
