Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

"But there was no need to fight over something like this..."

"No, it is necessary, more necessary than anything else. This is my choice. I want to tell her openly that I like the Commander."

"..."

Thank you, Javelin.

The commander wanted to say this, but couldn't.

"I'm really useless. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

"I've already said it, the reason we fight because of the Commander is because we like the Commander, even if it's Agano."

Javelin said, "But that's not why I came to see the commander."

"What's that for?"

"I mentioned it in the office this morning."

Javelin sat upright and said seriously, "The commander mentioned bigamy and rings this morning. What do you mean by rings?"

"Well, you don't know?"

"totally no idea."

"..."

It seems that it is not that the Javelin got the ring, but the Javelin's training level was raised to 124, which is absolutely impossible to achieve with the first modification, without the second modification.

This matter still needs to be asked to Yubari, who is familiar with ship equipment and modifications, but it just so happened that Yubari's design drawings were obtained at this time.

Yubari can't modify herself, so she is currently studying the design drawing with Akashi overnight. The commander is sorry to disturb her during this time.

Should I tell Javelin about the ring?

The commander was also hesitant, but he could see the smile on Javelin's face.

She already knows half of it, so there's no need to hide it any longer.

The commander couldn't deceive himself, he could only say -

"When I came back, I brought back a ring."

"what?"

Javelin's expression froze. "What did you say? Can you say it again?"

"When I came back, I brought back a ring."

"Is it related to the ship girl?"

"Yes, a ring that can make Kanmusu Kai-2."

"Where is that ring now!"

The changes in Javelin's expression were very interesting. In just a few seconds, he went from being dull to being surprised, and then to being excited, as if he had found a favorite toy.

"I don't know. It was taken away."

The commander briefly explained the situation.

"I see...Is it lost?"

"Yes."

"That's difficult to do. Such a valuable thing might be in someone's possession."

"I'm worried too."

"So be it."

Javelin clapped his hands, "I'll help the commander find it."

"Can you really hand it over to the Javelin?"

"Of course."

Javelin's warm and healing smile made the commander, who had lost his notebook, feel a little better.

"But in exchange, if I find the ring, you have to give it to me, okay?"

"That's fine, but if the ring is already on the ship girl's hand..."

"Then chop your fingers off."

Javelin's smile was friendly, just like in the morning -

"Put it on your own hand."

………………

the next day.

Before we knew it, it was already early February.

The commander came to the training ground near the dock.

"a little cold."

The weather is fine today, but the wind and waves are so strong that the navy hat is about to be blown away.

"Now the odds of winning for both of us are about 50-50."

"As for the wine, there's still plenty left, can you rest assured?"

It was just like a picnic, with picnic blankets everywhere and the shouts of the ship girls.

The ship girls seemed to just treat the Shura Field as a daily routine and thought that everything was fine.

Therefore, the commander was the only one who took it seriously. He believed that he was the evil of the world and even destroyed his notebook.

Go and ask.

The commander saw little Santiago jumping around on the small stage.

"Santiago, what are you doing?"

"They are dancing. Commander, can't you see that? You big idiot."

"But why dance..."

"Because the sisters said it was a party? Commander is so stupid!"

"..."

The commander turned away, facing the sea. The wind was very strong.

As expected, he was the only one who took the battle seriously.

Tears flowed down.

"I'm so stupid."

The commander said to himself -

"I'm so stupid, really."

Chapter 139: The War of the Legal Wife (Part 8)

"Hello, Miss Bismarck."

The commander shouted to the German-style sister sitting on the picnic blanket, "What's that in your hand?"

"Can't you tell? It's Japanese sake."

"I can see that. I just want to ask why you took so much sake..."

The commander held his forehead.

Perhaps it was because he had been away from the Iron Blood for too long that he almost forgot Bismarck's original character.

No, I will never forget Bismarck's original character. She was a cold-hearted shipgirl who didn't treat people politely. But now--

"Just like Eugen, isn't it?" Bismarck said.

"Yes."

The commander sat on the blue cushion next to Bismarck. "You weren't like this before."

"Yes, I wasn't like this before, but isn't there an old saying in Donghuang? When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes."

"That's a compliment..."

The commander organized his words in a tactful way, "But the way you look now..."

"I look like I've regressed, don't I?"

Bismarck laughed and threw a stone into the sea.

That was indeed what the commander wanted to say, but he didn't say it out loud.

"When we were in Iron Blood, you always took care of everyone like an elder."

"Ah."

Bismarck could not deny it.

“The way it looks now feels very different from before.”

The commander said, "It's like I don't care about many things anymore."

"Are you trying to test my opinion?"

Bismarck blinked.

"what?"

"Bai, you're just as easy to understand as before. Every time you want to ask me something, you beat around the bush. You haven't changed at all."

"..."

So the commander could only spread his hands and said, "Yes, I did come here to test the waters."

"you……"

The commander paused and asked, "What do you think of my plan to start a harem?"

"I don't have any opinion."

"Impossible, you are a super strict Bismarck."

The commander shook his head. “He said nothing on the surface, but he must be very disappointed in me now.”

"No, I'm not disappointed at all."

"..."

"I'm telling the truth. I'm not disappointed. I think it's good."

The sea breeze was so strong that even Bismarck subconsciously pressed down the brim of his hat.

The commander couldn't see her expression.

"I used to think that everything should be ranked, such as training level and strength, but after these years, I have learned a lot. There is no need to be so clear about many things."

Bismarck said: "At times like this, I envy the shipgirls in the South Sea Port area."

The commander asked, "Envy?"

"It's good enough for us to be together. We have a sense of belonging, like a home. But people are never satisfied and always want more."

Bismarck suddenly laughed.

The commander had never seen Bismarck smile, but when he did, the impact was far greater than he had imagined.

Just like Rei Ayanami's smile, it is captivating.

"That's what I thought before, but later, after you left, the base was dismantled, and the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls went their separate ways. Of course, I can still see each other, but it's not the same feeling as before."

"While searching for you, I also began to understand."
