Daily life with the ship girl

"It's okay, I'll be back soon, don't worry."

After saying that, Li Ran hung up the phone, then looked at the starry sky, took a deep breath, and the smell of the sea breeze filled his nose, but he was completely unable to calm down. If the other party had any ill intentions towards him, he would have died countless times just now.

However, since the other party is not determined to kill me, why should I do these seemingly unnecessary things?

Li Ran was in a daze, and then he was about to return to the cockpit, but his foot kicked something strange:

"This is?"

Chapter 228: The Most Precious Thing

There was no conversation that night. When Li Ran returned to the garrison, he did not explain why he went to sea. Lexington and Saratoga also chose to remain silent.

However, the atmosphere in the garrison was different.

Bismarck felt uneasy because she noticed the watch on the admiral's wrist, which the admiral did not have originally.

Who sent this?

Bismarck could sense that some of the sisters in Minato also liked the admiral very much.

Lexington? Richelieu? Saratoga?

Bismarck thought so, which caused her to often become absent-minded during training.

Richelieu originally wanted to compete with the stronger Bismarck, but he was disappointed today.

"Huh, Bismarck, you're not in good shape today." Richelieu put the knight's sword down from Bismarck's neck. She had witnessed Bismarck's strength last night. He was stronger than herself. Although she didn't want to admit it, he was stronger than herself.

However, when the exercise was requested today, Bismarck was absent-minded. This was not the Bismarck that Richelieu remembered. She sighed:

"Forget it today, it's really boring."

"Richelieu..." Bismarck came to her senses and found that Richelieu had returned to the shore. She was a little dazed. What happened to her?

"Senior Bismarck? Are you okay?" Prince Eugen had changed her title after returning from Bismarck. No one noticed this, but during the battle last night, Prince Eugen had shown his determination to protect. Although she was not in the same group with Bismarck, when she was in the same group with Pinghai, she protected Bismarck and others until their support arrived. Therefore, Bismarck also accepted this title from Prince Eugen.

"It's okay." Bismarck shook his head, and then felt a slight pain in his heart.

What is this feeling?

Lexington and Saratoga were going out to sea today to inspect the airspace over the sea to see if it was safe, so they missed the competition between Bismarck and Richelieu.

However, Lexington still felt somewhat concerned, and she suddenly said for no apparent reason:

"Gaga, Admiral, the watch was given to you by Bismarck, right?"

"Watch?" Saratoga paused for a moment, then said:

"Well, sister, have you forgotten? The admiral was wearing a watch when he came back last night. I think the admiral was wearing it because he was going out to sea..."

"Stop talking, the Admiral is not that kind of person." Lexington's tone turned cold. She was really angry this time. Her sister touched her bottom line. She said coldly:

"Today's mission is over, let's go back."

"Sister~" It was the first time that Saratoga heard her gentle sister so angry. Her tone was so cold that it scared her. She wanted to chase after her, but saw that her sister had already left first. She realized that she might have gotten into trouble again. The last time her sister was angry was because of this. Suspecting the admiral for no reason?

But, Admiral, that Admiral, damn it, sister, is it really worth it for you to do this? If you don't ask, then I will!

Saratoga made a secret decision. Everyone in the port area is like this, including the admiral. Can't she explain it?

……

At the same time, Li Ran was sitting in his office, staring out the window in a daze. The documents on his desk had piled up into a pile. Although Shengwei was worried about this scene, he just accompanied him in silence.

Li Ran withdrew his gaze from the window, and suddenly said:

"Reputation, if one day something that had disappeared came back to you, would you think it was a coincidence?"

"Master's question is a little strange, but I think it's not strange that since it's something I cherish, it will return to me one day. Admiral, do you feel strange about the watch?"

When Li Ran heard Shengyu say this, he suddenly came to his senses. He subconsciously touched the watch on his wrist, then sighed and said:

"It's really weird. If they disappeared, why would they come back?"

After saying that, Li Ran took off his watch, put it in the drawer, and then said to Shengwang:

"I should go out too. The sun is shining brightly today."

Richelieu just returned to the garrison. Seeing Li Ran and Shengwang coming down, she greeted them:

"Good morning, Admiral."

"Good morning." Li Ran smiled and waved.

Richelieu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she saw Li Ran smile like this. It was a smile that came from the heart without any force.

And the watch is missing?

"Richelieu?" Li Ran looked at Richelieu who suddenly fell into a daze, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Nothing, Admiral. Bismarck seems to be in a bad mood. I'm going upstairs to rest first. I'm going to be lazy for once today."

Richelieu said this, looking at the head maid, Mingyu, who was as quiet as ever, with a meaningful smile on his face. As he passed by Mingyu, he whispered softly:

"Thank you, Maid-sama."

Reputation just shook his head slightly, then accompanied Li Ran out of the garrison.

……

The street leading to the naval base was called Dawn Street by the ship girls. At this time, Prince Eugen was walking quietly with Bismarck on the street.

"Prince Eugen? Can I ask you a question?"

The blue hair on Prince Eugen's head stood up instantly and she nodded hurriedly.

"What does Prince Eugen think is worth cherishing?"

Prince Eugen was stunned for a moment, and then seemed a little confused. She gritted her teeth, and then felt that the question was too difficult. However, this was the first time that the senior asked her such a question. Well, she must come up with an answer, that's right!

Prince Eugen paused for a moment, then said:

"I think that the things worth cherishing are those that we protect. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, so if it's Eugen, the things worth cherishing are those that we protect."

"Eugen?" When Bismarck heard Prince Eugen say this, she realized that she had become uncalm since she saw the watch on the admiral's hand last night. She couldn't help but ask herself why she thought so?

"Good morning, Bismarck?" Li Ran saw Bismarck and Prince Eugen coming over and hurriedly greeted them.

"Good morning, Admiral." Bismarck said this, and then noticed that the admiral waved, and the watch on his wrist was gone.

Bismarck immediately felt relieved, although he still didn't understand what he cherished, but seeing the admiral attach so much importance to something for the first time, it must be something the admiral cherished.

Bismarck thought so, reached out and held Li Ran's hands, then rubbed them like a soft cat.

Reputation was stunned, and she looked at the scene in shock.

Prince Eugen was so excited that he felt like his core was about to burst. The senior was so adorable.

Li Ran was also confused. He turned into a soft cat in a second? He swallowed his saliva, then reached out and rubbed Bismarck's short hair.

However, he did not dare to be too presumptuous. Although she looked cute, she was not at all like the Bismarck he knew. This made him feel a little uneasy. When he was about to let go of her hand, he saw two lines of tears flowing from the corners of Bismarck's eyes, and he panicked.

"Bismarck? Are you okay?"

Li Ran asked this, and then found that Bismarck pushed him away, his face returned to expressionless again, and his tone returned to calm again:

"Admiral, I'm going to training. Eugen, let's go."

"Well, um, goodbye, Admiral." Prince Eugen saluted Li Ran timidly, then turned around and left with Bismarck, leaving Li Ran standing there in confusion.

Reputation looked at Bismarck's back as he left, then smiled softly. After a moment, he regained his composure and said in a calm tone:

"Admiral, the weather is perfect."

Li Ran didn't know what had happened, but he felt a lot more relaxed. He remembered the origin of the watch. Although he was still unwilling, he was no longer confused. Although he didn't know what that guy wanted to tell him, if he was not an enemy and he encountered trouble, it was not impossible for him to lend a helping hand.

Li Ran gave a bitter smile and laughed at himself. He hated trouble the most, but now, it didn't matter.

After saying that, Li Ran looked up at the bright sunshine. He was no longer confused. It didn't matter whether it was time travel or he didn't know what happened during the one year he gave up the project.

"Reputation, it really feels good to be back in the harbor."

Chapter 229: Even if the future will be troublesome

Shengwang accompanied Li Ran to the dock and saw Lexington coming back early. She was about to say hello but noticed that Lexington's face was no longer as gentle as before.

Li Ran was also a little surprised, and then said to Lexington:

"Today was tough."

"No, Admiral, I still have some paperwork to deal with, so I'll go back first."

Lexington said very calmly.

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded woodenly:

"Oh, that's hard work. By the way, thank you and Gaga for what happened last night."

"Maid, I'll leave the admiral to you."

Lexington spoke in a tone that sounded like a stranger, and she left immediately after she finished speaking.

The reputation suddenly felt bad. There was something wrong with Lexington!

After Lexington walked away, Sheng Wang walked aimlessly with Li Ran at the dock, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Master, don't you think Bismarck is not right today?"

"Really? It seems a little strange. Maybe she's in a bad mood. After all, she's the secretary ship. By the way, Reputation, do you think I should change someone to be the secretary ship? Lexington is too hard-working."

Reputation really wanted to call him an idiot, but she calmed down and said softly:

"It's up to the master to decide."

Li Ran held his head and said, "Okay, it seems that it was a mistake to ask about reputation. But never mind. It's time to consider changing someone to take on the position of secretary ship. Lexington, you should also have a good rest. Well, it's decided."

Li Ran thought so, and then said to the reputation:

"Reputation, let's hold a military meeting tonight. I don't want something like last night to happen again."

Shengyu listened to Li Ran's words, hesitating to speak, and was extremely conflicted. However, as an excellent maid, she could only carry out her master's orders unconditionally, so she said calmly:

"I understand, Master."

"Let's go, we finally got back. By the way, please accompany me to the eastern sea area." Li Ran said this, then glanced at the quiet dock and turned to walk towards the eastern forest.

Reputation sighed inwardly, "Master, should I say you are slow? Or do you understand everything?"

……

In the eastern sea area, when Li Ran arrived, he happened to see the fairies who were building new fortifications. He walked up to Elder Li of the Ruoduo Fairy Elder Council and said:

"Elder Li, what are you doing?"

"Admiral, you've come just in time. We've all heard about what happened last night. We're really sorry that we couldn't help. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again this time, the Elders' Council has decided to help the Admiral build new fortifications that can provide air combat support at night."

"Night air combat support?" Li Ran was stunned, then asked:

"what is that?"

"A new type of fortification that cooperates with the long-range support facilities of the western coastal defense for long-range combat. In the language of the admiral's world, it can be called an ultra-long-range air combat support fortification. Theoretically, if enough aircraft carrier transformation cores can be provided as energy, then, well, air combat support can be provided to any corner of the world."

"Including unknown waters?" After being shocked, Li Ran's mind flashed with the face of Pachino Fortress again, and he suddenly spoke in a calm tone.

"It's theoretically possible, but without clear coordinates, it's very likely that we'll deviate from our combat objectives."

"So, that means there are defects in the fortifications?"

"Well, you could say that all support needs to provide coordinates."

"Oh, I see." Li Ran pondered for a while, then looked at the facilities under construction and said:

"As for the transformation of the core, I will find a way, so I won't bother you for now."

"Well, don't worry, Admiral. The fairies always do what they say." Elder Li said this and then continued to get busy.

Li Ran felt very happy. He looked at the fairies who were still busy and said to the reputation:

"Let's go check out the new training ground."

Renown bowed and nodded, saying, "Forget it, the best thing is that the master is safe. As for other things, even if the sisters don't understand, I, Renown, will unconditionally support the master."

Li Ran and Sheng Wang walked one after the other, and then came to the new training ground, which was the direction of the abandoned dock on the east coast. They saw the ship girls resting on the abandoned tower base and greeted them:
