Daily life with the ship girl

Chapter 22: The Fairies' Request

When he returned to the garrison, it was almost noon and the scorching sun made Li Ran sweat profusely.

Bismarck placed the spear house on the open space in front of the garrison and looked after these lovely fairies, while Li Ran went upstairs to call Lexington.

When Li Ran pushed open the door, he found Lexington talking to Saratoga who had just woken up. Hearing the door open, Lexington turned around, looked at the sweaty Li Ran, and said softly:

"Admiral, you're back."

"Yeah." Li Ran responded, then noticed Saratoga staring at him coldly. He felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head:

"Um, your sister is awake."

"Hmph." Saratoga pulled up the quilt, covered her head, and didn't want to pay attention to Li Ran.

Lexington smiled apologetically. She knew her sister was just throwing a tantrum, but after all, she left without saying goodbye. Suddenly, she made a decision. She wanted to pull back the quilt, but found that Gaga was covering it tightly. She said in a muffled voice:

"Don't touch me, bad sister."

Li Ran was a little embarrassed, feeling that he had committed a grave sin, but he remembered the important matter and said to Lexington:

"Bismarck and I went to the coast of the eastern forest and found a goblin tribe. We brought back his ship and spear house. Can you go downstairs and take a look? I'll help you take care of it, Gaga."

"No, I don't want to be in the same room with a guy like you who kidnapped my sister, you big pervert." Saratoga angrily pulled back the quilt. She wanted to scold him, but because she was hurt, her words sounded a little weak, and instead sounded more like she was acting coquettish.

Lexington knew her sister's temper, so she said nothing. She leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Saratoga immediately stopped crying and her cheeks blushed.

Li Ran felt his blood pressure rising. The scene was so beautiful.

Lexington saw that her sister had stopped making trouble, so she said softly:

"Stop messing around and have a good rest. I will find a way to get you into the canal as soon as possible."

Saratoga pouted:

"Ok."

After calming Saratoga down, Lexington stood up, walked to Li Ran, and said softly:

"Commander, Gaga is in a bad mood, let's go."

How could Li Ran dare to blame her? After all, what Jia Jia said was right. Didn't he do something to kidnap her sister? But he kidnapped her with his own strength. Bah, that's not right. It seems that nothing he said is right.

"Commander?" Lexington looked at Li Ran who seemed to be in a trance and called out:

"gone."

"Oh." Li Ran quickly retracted his messy thoughts, opened the door for Lexington, and watched his wife walk in front. When he closed the door, he glanced at his sister-in-law lying on the bed and sighed.

Saratoga heard the sound of the door closing and felt a little lost. She turned around and looked at the closed door. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Li Ran closed the door and trotted to catch up with Lexington. The two walked downstairs side by side. Li Ran wanted to ask something several times, but when the words came to his lips, he backed off.

When he walked outside the garrison, Li Ran saw many goblins from the boat spear house running out and playing.

"Bismarck?" Lexington looked at the goblins jumping up and down on Bismarck. She was not angry at all. It was a bit strange. However, when she saw these goblins, she was a bit shocked:

"Commander, did you really find and bring back an entire goblin tribe?"

"Yeah?" Li Ran was a little surprised by Lexington's reaction. He said without thinking:

"I just felt something calling me, so I followed my feeling and found the Spear House."

Lexington's face was a little dull, and then she smiled bitterly:

"Commander, you are lucky. Fairies have always been mysterious. Only when a carrier girl or light carrier girl appears in a tutelary fort will fairies come out from all kinds of strange corners to serve the carrier girl. However, this is the first time that the fairy tribe has been discovered by the admiral."

"Oh?" Li Ran was somewhat excited. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"So you mean the Spear House was also discovered for the first time?"

Lexington shook his head:

"No, in fact, the free and wandering Ship Girls have discovered many Ship Spear Houses, but because of the protection of the Ship Girl Academy Headquarters and the First Ship Girl Academy, these discovered fairies are well protected. In addition, the Ship Girl Academy allows admirals to recruit fairies, so there are many admirals who travel back and forth between the Star Path Islands and the Poseidon Islands every year. However, no admiral's garrison has ever been found on an island where a complete fairy tribe is located. The commander is the first."

"Doesn't that mean I'm lucky?" Li Ran felt that he was extremely lucky, but Lexington's next words poured cold water on him:

"Commander, don't be too happy too soon. The reason why the Kanmusu Academy can afford to support the fairies is that it is a school responsible for training and teaching Kanmusu. It is also a place to accommodate some stray Kanmusu who have awakened on their own but have no admirals, as well as some Kanmusu who are at a loss because their admirals have died. So as long as an admiral recruits a Kanmusu from the Kanmusu Academy, a lot of resources will be spontaneously sent to the academy from all over the world every year. Thanks to these huge resources, the Kanmusu Academy can afford to support the fairies."

"You mean, these fairies eat resources?" Li Ran felt a little confused. Shit, I can't even afford to support the ship girls now. I thought the fairies ate fruits or something, but I didn't expect them to eat resources. This...

Lexington saw Li Ran's face full of melancholy and worry, she chuckled and said:

"What the commander said is not entirely correct. To be precise, the goblins' food should be various raw ores. Although goblins also eat resources, their favorite is still raw ore. But don't worry, commander. Goblins actually eat very little. Moreover, as long as we provide enough raw ores, we can ensure the reproduction of this goblin tribe. More importantly, these goblins can grow further and even help the commander build the port area."

Li Ran nodded. He remembered something and walked to the boat spear house. Sure enough, there was a goblin swinging his legs on the top of the boat spear which was over one meter high.

"Hello, Chief Ruoduoruo, this is my ship girl, the aircraft carrier Lexington." Li Ran greeted.

Ruo Duoruo raised her head and looked at Lexington beside Li Ran with a surprised expression:

"Admiral, I am amazed that you have an aircraft carrier girl at such a young age. It seems that I can safely entrust the Wakata tribe to you."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the clan leader. No minerals have been found in my port area yet." Li Ran thought it would be better to confess as soon as possible. Since Lexington said that the Ship Girl Academy could afford to support these goblins, he felt that his port area was just starting out, and the threat of the deep-sea fleet made him feel unsure:

"I'm afraid I can't afford to support you."

Ruo Duoruo tilted her head strangely, looked at Li Ran, and said:

"You are joking, Admiral. This island is rich in mineral resources. The children of the Ruoduo tribe have already discovered three iron mines, two aluminum mines, and one oil mine. Don't worry, but I have a request that you please approve."

Li Ran was a little skeptical when he heard Ruo Duoruo's words, but he felt that the fairies had no reason to lie to him, so he nodded quickly:

"Please tell the patriarch."

"Then please ask the admiral to place the spear ship house on the seashore as soon as possible. The sea water is the best place for fairies to survive. Our spear ship house has been left in the forest for many years, and the children have not returned to the embrace of Mother Ocean for a long time." Chief Rhodo Rho shook his legs.

Li Ran thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that he just wanted to live by the sea. That was not a big deal, so he quickly agreed:

"Well, I will choose a safe area for you to settle down as soon as possible. Do you have any other requirements?"

"No more." Ruo Duoruo waved her hand.

After listening to Li Ran and Ruo Duoruo's conversation, Lexington remembered her sister's injury and asked quickly:

"Excuse me, does your tribe have a repair barrel?"

Ruo Duoruo thought for a moment, then said apologetically:

"There is a recipe for a repair barrel, but I don't have the raw materials or tools at the moment, so I can't make a repair barrel for now."

Lexington looked a little depressed, and Li Ran could only comfort him:

"Lexington, I will find a way to get Gaga into the canal as soon as possible."

Lexington sighed and forced a smile:

"Commander, I'm fine, but we need to help the fairies find a suitable coast to settle down as soon as possible."

Li Ran nodded, turned around and saw that Bismarck seemed to be very popular among the fairies. He thought about it and thought that it might be a good choice to let Bismarck be responsible for the placement of the Spear House. After thinking it over again and again, he said to the German cat:

"Bismarck, the job of relocating the Spear House is now in your hands."

Bismarck nodded. She also liked these fairies and agreed.

Chief Ruoduo was also very happy. He called his tribesmen back to the boat spear house.

Li Ran watched Bismarck carrying the boat and spear house away, then he came to his senses and looked at Lexington. He sighed:

"Still worried about Gaga?"

Lexington nodded, but then she said:

"Actually, I'm more worried about Firefly and Pinghai. I hope everything goes well for them."

Li Ran fell silent for a moment. He looked in the direction of the deepwater port area, somewhat worried about the safety of the two little ones.

Chapter 23: Reinforcements from KanColle Academy

At the same time, in the western waters of Leiming Garrison, there was an unnamed island reef harbor.

"Sister Pinghai, there are so many deep seas." The firefly stuck out its tongue and whispered to Pinghai who looked nervous.

Pinghai looked serious, looking at the deep-sea black carrier-based aircraft that appeared from time to time overhead, thought for a moment, and said to Firefly:

"This is already the third wave of carrier-based aircraft. We should leave."

“Well, Sister Pinghai, but the sea is full of deep-sea fleets, where do we go?”

"Wait a minute, it looks like the fleet behind the Deep Sea Fleet blockade is small in number. Once these light cruisers leave, we can seize the opportunity to break out. But don't fight too long, they can't catch up with our speed. But be careful about fuel consumption."

"I understand." Firefly nodded, her eyes full of excitement, for the ship girls, fighting is a natural instinct, but they will only feel the desire to fight when fighting against the deep sea, because the deep sea ship girls are a collection of negative emotions, in the ship girls' instincts, destroying and sinking the deep sea is just to free the deep sea ship girls, and if they are lucky, they can make the deep sea ship girls wake up again. They don't think that the deep sea is evil, but the deep sea is a threat to the admiral, so they must be eliminated, that's all.

Pinghai was tidying up her ship's equipment. She looked at the white seagulls flying over the sea in the distance, but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She was very worried about the Leiming Garrison, and even more worried about her own port area.

……

At the same time, from the Leiming Garrison, the First and Second Fleets have been dispatched to the western waters to support the Third Fleet in its operations.

Shancheng, the flagship of the Leiming First Fleet, looked a little anxious at the moment and said to Tianlong beside her:

"Tianlong, has the radar detected the location of the Third Fleet? How long will it take to arrive?"

Tianlong's face was grim. When she received the report from the Third Fleet that Deep Sea was attacking, her admiral immediately prepared for battle. However, Deep Sea seemed to know her weakness of being unable to effectively control the air, and frequently sent carrier-based aircraft to harass her, seriously affecting her support. She sensed the information from the [Standard Air Defense Radar], adjusted her sword at her side, and reported:

"The Third Fleet is still forty nautical miles away from us, and is about to enter the fleet's maximum range. However, there are a lot of deep-sea destroyers and deep-sea light cruisers. Should we go around them?"

"No need. Everyone listen up. Prepare for battle. Prepare suppressive fire. Make way for Sister Fuso and the others. Our mission is to clear the obstacles ahead!"

"Understood!" Everyone in the Thunder First Fleet nodded and agreed with full energy.

Fuso's Second Fleet arrived fifteen minutes later than the First Fleet. They were there as backup forces. Because they had lost air superiority in this operation, they could only use heavy cruiser reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance, but the results were minimal. Her face was filled with anxiety, and she asked Kaohsiung:

"Kaohsiung, how is the investigation going?"

Kaohsiung's long black hair fluttered in the wind. Her face looked a little serious at the moment. She said:

"The reconnaissance plane had already approached the Third Fleet, but was shot down. The results of the detection before the crash were that there was a formation of three regular aircraft carriers in the Deep Sea, and a formation with four battleships as flagships, with a total fleet size of 28 ships."

Atago took over the conversation and said:

"My reconnaissance plane has begun to return. I'm lucky. However, the situation Kaohsiung described has changed. Shancheng has begun to attack the outer deep-sea destroyer group and deep-sea light cruiser group that are besieging the Third Fleet. Two deep-sea battleships are blocking the First Fleet's offensive."

Fuso thought for a moment, the sea breeze blowing across her kimono. At this moment, the gentle Yamato Nadeshiko now exuded a faint majesty, and gave the order in a soft but unquestionable tone:

"Well, notify everyone to check the ship equipment, advance at full speed, and detour from the right side of the First Fleet to form a pincer attack on the outer encirclement of the deep sea!"

……

Pinghai and Firefly waited for more than ten minutes. The deep-sea destroyer and deep-sea light cruiser responsible for surveillance in the distance began to rush to the west and disappeared from their sight.

Even the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft that were originally circling on alert returned to the western waters. Pinghai knew that he could not wait any longer:

"ready to go!"

Firefly nodded, his tone full of enthusiasm:

"It has been prepared for a long time."

Pinghai herself didn't know how much of an impact this battle had on her transformation. At this moment, she just felt that she must complete the admiral's mission, she must!

"Let's go!" Pinghai was the first to rush out of the harbor where the islands and reefs were hiding. She found that there was no trace of any deep-sea ship on the sea, so she said hello to Firefly:

"No deep sea found yet, safe! Firefly, let's go!"

"Here I come!" Firefly started walking on the ship's equipment, which is a propulsion device on the sea surface. It is also an important tool for the ship girls to walk on the sea surface as if it were flat ground. It is a kind of ship's equipment. She moved very fast and came from behind to overtake Pinghai.

Pinghai looked at the fireflies that rushed far away and said quickly:

"Firefly, slow down..."

As he spoke, Pinghai hurriedly followed. The two of them sailed on the sea at the maximum speed. After a while, they entered the battlefield and encountered sporadic deep-sea destroyers. However, what surprised them was that these deep-sea fleets seemed to have suffered heavy losses.

The closer they got to the western waters of Leiming Garrison, the more frequent the sounds of artillery fire and explosions they heard. What surprised Pinghai even more was that blue carrier-based aircraft appeared in the sky that did not belong to the deep sea.

"Sister Pinghai is Sister Lexington's friend!" Firefly saw an acquaintance, a young lady who brought supplies to the port area on a fishing boat that night. Firefly did not ask her name at the time, but she remembered it very clearly. Now, seeing this young lady with light blue hair surrounded by a group of deep-sea light cruisers, she rushed out without thinking, and the torpedo launchers on both sides of her body were activated, and all five 533mm torpedoes were fired.

That's right, the team coming to help was the team from the First Ship Girl Academy that was out to visit the Thunder Garrison. Their flagship was the heavy cruiser Furutaka. She watched the team being dispersed, especially Quincy being surrounded by the deep-sea light cruisers, and said anxiously:

"Stupid Quincy, Blücher, hurry over and help her!"

Blucher looked at the deep-sea destroyer in front of her that was aiming at her and wanted to fire. She smashed the spear in her hand into the opponent's face, directly blowing up the deep-sea destroyer, and sighed:

"What a troublesome idiot!"

However, Blücher only complained but acted quickly.
