The ship girl admiral is twelve years old!

Lele was a little excited, but seeing that Kaohsiung didn't seem to want to reveal anything specific, she suppressed the urge to find out the truth.

"Lele!"

"Little milk bag!"

Ning Hai and Ping Hai appeared on the first floor of the office. They were so excited that tears came to their eyes. They waved to Lele desperately, attracting Lele's attention.

"Ninghai, Sister Pinghai!"

Lele was also somewhat happy.

His memories of Donghuang's ship girls were much deeper.

"Woooaa! Master Lele!"

"Master Lele, this way!"

"Master Lele is back!"

However, immediately afterwards, the ship girls of the Sakura Empire camp also burst into cheers, followed by a variety of happy shouts to Lele.

In comparison, the Royal and Iron Blood sides seemed a little calmer or even cold.

Only those destroyer friends who had never seen Lele exclaimed "Oh!" when they looked at the young admiral who was about to take over.

006 Little Milk Bag

Pinghai and Ninghai couldn't contain their excitement anymore and ran over to them. In the face of Kaohsiung's reluctant look, they snatched Lele away and looked him up and down.

"Lele, you've grown up now."

Ning Hai nodded with relief.

"Milk bag..."

Before Pinghai could finish her words, she was glared at by her sister.

"What do you mean by milk bag? Lele is already so big, and you still call me by my nickname. Lele will hate you for it."

"Woo..."

The dazed Pinghai was immediately shocked, "No, don't hate me."

"How could I hate Sister Ping Hai? I can't do that."

Although Lele can't say that he likes his nickname, he doesn't have any bad feelings about it either.

Also, although it’s a bit embarrassing to say it, my mother used to call me like this... hehe.

"That should be called milk...what?"

"Don't call for anything."

After seriously retorting, Ning Hai thought about it seriously, "Well, since I'm at this age, I should be able to call him A Le."

"Sister, what does 'at this age' mean? Are there other names for other ages?"

"Of course. We should call him A-Le now. When A-Le reaches adulthood, we should call him by his full name. When Le-Le reaches 30 or 40 years old, well..."

After estimating his own appearance and age, Ning Hai said unconfidently, "I should have called him... Uncle Wang then."

Lele was immediately amused by Sister Ning Hai, and she felt a little emotional.

So many years have passed, but Sister Ning Hai's heart is still as innocent as before.

After hearing what Ning Hai said, Ping Hai covered his head in annoyance, "Hmm, there is so much knowledge... No, I need to find a notebook to write it down."

After the interaction, Ning Hai looked at him with a peaceful expression.

"Well, welcome back again, Lele."

"Yeah. Long time no see, Sister Ning Hai."

"What do you mean it's been a long time since we last met? Don't we all follow Du Jin to visit you during the Spring Festival every year?"

Ning Hai smiled and held Lele's hand, "Okay, come on, go to the small podium - now, that is your performance stage."

Passing by the Sakura Empire's large group, he received a warm welcome from the ship girls of this camp - they didn't go over just now, probably just because of the pressure from the two ship girls of Donghuang.

"Le-chan! Le-chan! —Woo!"

A group of Mutsuki-class little girls waved excitedly at Lele, but when he actually came over, they huddled together in fear and hugged each other.

"Le-chan, you've gotten so tall..."

"So, so scary, so strange...!"

"How can you say that about Le-chan!"

The young minds of the Sakura Empire expulsion girls couldn't understand why Wang Lele had become taller than them in just a few years, but they were relieved when he reached the level of a light cruiser.

The light cruiser girl Nagara chuckled, reached out her hand and touched Lele's head, who was now almost the same height as her.

"Master Lele, be good, be good."

"Uh...hehe."

Although he felt a little embarrassed to be touched on the head by the ship girl who seemed a little strange to him, Lele still smiled politely.

……

From the time he passed through the Sakura Empire team to the small podium, he would be patted on the head by a ship girl every step he took. Maybe it was a big sister on a battleship, or maybe it was a girl on a light cruiser or heavy cruiser. Lele was miserable about this.

Is it possible that the only way for these ship girls to express intimacy is to touch each other's heads? I feel like my hair is going to fall out because of all the touching.

However, the ship girls from the Iron Blood and Royal factions did not make any expression and remained silent as usual, as if they were brewing the next storm.

007 Waiting for a sentence

After several attempts, Lele finally climbed onto the small podium.

There was already a standing microphone on the stage.

However, since the standing microphone was set according to the height of the original admiral Li Dujin, the microphone was a bit too high for Lele.

So he had to awkwardly lower the microphone manually under everyone's fiery gazes.

"Ah……"

There seemed to be a chuckle coming from the audience, which made Lele, who thought he was not as tall as others, even more ashamed to raise his head.

In terms of momentum, it is first of all inferior.

"Who was laughing just now? Stand up!"

Lele didn't say anything, but Ninghai from Donghuang immediately got furious.

"Is this some kind of concentration camp? Even whether to smile or not is controlled by others?"

Standing in the last row of the Iron Blood Camp, Count Zeppelin, who had been playing with his silver hair with his fingers, spoke absentmindedly.

Although she was not the one who uttered that disdainful sneer, as the second leader of this camp, she had reason to defend her girl - even though she thought such behavior was really boring.

"You guy..."

Ning Hai was so angry that she was shaking. If Ping Hai, who was standing next to her, hadn't held her back, she would have probably started a full-scale fight with the equally angry Sakura Empire ship girls.

Atago, who had just run downstairs from the admiral's office, saw this scene and immediately wailed and covered her face.

"Ahhh my bad, I should have turned the mic down so they wouldn't have a reason to argue!"

Kaohsiung was responsible for notifying the other ship girls, while the small task of setting up the venue was naturally left to Atago.

Unfortunately, Atago is still very careless in this regard.

Out of inertia, she still used Li Dujin's height to set up the equipment.

"You, you." Kaohsiung scolded his sister whose mind was filled with only Lele, while looking at the iron-blooded ship girl with an annoyed look.

Seeing that the ship girls were ready to start a fight, Lele felt a tightness in his heart and felt a little sad.

Mom has only been gone for a few days, but the tension between them is already so strong. He doesn't want these comrades who once gathered under Mom's banner to hate each other so much.

"Everyone, please stop and listen to me!"

Lele's voice was amplified through the microphone, temporarily drowning out the noise of the ship girls.

They made a commotion for a while, then slowly calmed down and listened carefully to the words of the child on the stage again.

"...First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Lele, and mom...your admiral, Li Dujin, is my mother."

Lele took a deep breath and felt a little numb.

He has never spoken to anyone on the stage. Even when he went on stage to receive an award in elementary school, only the school principal or leaders spoke, not him.

But even though his mind felt numb and empty, he was still speaking clearly.

"I know that the news of Li Dujin's disappearance made you very sad and angry,"

"But we shouldn't just indulge our emotions and vent them on our companions!"

"I know that my arrival and taking over are the fuse that caused the rift in your relationship, but, but..."

After a pause, Lele continued, "But the garrison cannot be without a commander for even a day. Without a commander, it cannot attack normally and protect the safety of the people along the coast... and Li Dujin's original wish as commander was to protect the people here well—"

"Therefore, I, Li Dujin's son, Wang Lele, will serve as the temporary commander of this garrison. This is just to continue to fulfill Li Dujin's wish. I hope that we can now put aside our prejudices and cooperate temporarily. For Li Dujin and the people along the coast, I will once again perform the duties of maintaining marine safety... Thank you, thank you everyone!"

After saying that, Lele bowed deeply.

Lele's eyes were fixed on the ground, and soon, warm applause and cheers rang out.

Success! No dull moments!

The whole speech was delivered in one go, and even Lele himself kept applauding himself in his heart.

"That's a very good point! Some narrow-minded people should really listen carefully!"

The Sakura Empire's aircraft carrier, Hiryuu, clapped her hands until they turned red, and then her eyes drifted towards Zeppelin intentionally or unintentionally, and she spoke loudly.

Unfortunately, Zeppelin didn't react at all.

Just as Lele was about to leave the stage awkwardly but politely amid the applause of most of the ship girls, the Sakura Empire ship girls cheered again and rushed towards him.

"Ah...ah?!"

Lele was surprised to be lifted up high by the group of ship girls.

Seeing them so enthusiastic, Lele was indeed relieved and happy, but which aunt was touching my ** just now? Stop it.

"In fact, it's not a question of whether you are willing to command or cooperate."

However, a discordant voice sounded from the royal side:

"The commander has only been missing for a few days, and you've already found a new replacement. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"What do you mean, Nelson?"

Kaohsiung frowned slightly, looking at the tall woman with blond twin ponytails, "As Du Jin's child, doesn't Lady Lele have the right to inherit her mother's position?"

"Don't change the subject, swordsman. What I mean is that the commander has only been missing for a few days, and you are looking for a successor so quickly. It looks like you wish the commander would die sooner."

"What an ungrateful bunch of guys."

At the end, Nelson snorted coldly.

"elder sister……"

Tender Rodney tugged at her sister's sleeve somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't pull me in, Rodney. No one said anything to her this time, but these guys will get worse next time. To be unlucky, what if the little heir over there gets attacked and goes missing next time? Oh, then are you going to find an even stranger to be the commander? Unsteady bastards!"

Finally, she switched to English and cursed bitterly.

"Although I don't like those self-righteous idiots... But, ha, this time, I can't refute what she said."

Iron-blooded heavy cruiser, Admiral Hipper shrugged.

"What? Du Jin has already been hit... mmmmmm..."

The Soryu of the Sakura Empire quickly covered the excited sister's mouth: "Shh! Idiot! Don't you see who is here!"

Feilong glanced at Lele who had her eyes wide open, and closed his mouth in disappointment.

But now the ship girls on the field were clearly divided into two factions and started quarreling again... No matter what Feilong said, Lele would not be able to hear it.
