Daily life with the ship girl

Chapter 38: Sister-in-law strategy completed

Li Ran took Sigsby back to the garrison and saw Quincy and Juno talking to Saratoga.

When Saratoga saw the guy who kidnapped her sister coming back, her face suddenly looked a little ugly, but her serious injuries were restored so quickly thanks to the repair fluid prepared by the fairies in Li Ran Port. She was not so unreasonable, but no matter what, she could not thank him, and her sister would be angry if she cursed him.

Poor Gaga, she felt so conflicted.

Li Ran didn't know what Saratoga was thinking, so he said to Quincy and Juno:

"They're all out. Now Minato has to trouble you guys."

"Don't make it sound like we are your ship girl now." Juno curled her lips and looked at Li Ran who was choking. She smiled and said:

"However, for Ping Hai's sake, the safety of the port area will be left to us, right, Senior Jia Jia?"

Saratoga was stunned for a moment. She looked at Li Ran and said in a low voice, somewhat reluctantly:

"I will do what my sister asked me to do. By the way, thank you for the repair fluid."

Li Ran touched his nose. This sister-in-law wasn't that difficult to get along with, was she? But he wouldn't push it any further, so he quickly said:

"You're welcome, Gaga. After all, you are Lexington's sister, so that makes you my, um, my guest."

Li Ran thought to himself, I almost said that you are also my sister, so wouldn't that make you my brother-in-law? No, although my wife really wants to get married, if it is in the game now, the favorability is only 60, fortunately I braked on my mouth.

Saratoga frowned, a little concerned about Li Ran's address, but she did not correct it. She rolled her eyes, and then whispered something to Juno and Quincy. Then Juno and Quincy looked at each other, looked at the lovely Sigsby, and then hugged her and walked out of the garrison. Juno also closed the door.

When Li Ran reacted, he and Saratoga were the only ones left in the living room. He looked at the blonde Gaga, who smiled a little guilty. Now he could only bite the bullet and say:

"That Jia Jia, I..."

Saratoga walked forward step by step. The smile on her face made Li Ran feel more and more uneasy. She said in a faint voice:

"How did you kidnap my sister? You're not very handsome, and you're a perverted lolita. You're so bad at drinking when you're drunk. I don't know why Bismarck didn't chop off your moving hand."

Li Ran felt a little overwhelmed. He didn't say that Jia Jia had a sharp tongue. This was not right. He smiled awkwardly:

"I'm not kidnapping you, don't say it so harshly. Besides, if your sister doesn't want to stay, I can't force her, right?"

Saratoga thought about it, and suddenly she showed an extremely charming smile, came up to Li Ran, and said:

"So, who is prettier, me or my sister?"

Li Ran thought, sister-in-law, you are playing with fire, but this question is really hard to answer. Lexington is a perfect wife, gentle and virtuous. Is the sister-in-law lively? Cute? Or something else? Anyway, it feels that this question is wrong no matter how you answer it. He simply laughed and said:

"That's all beautiful."

Saratoga watched Li Ran take a few steps back and distance himself from her. She took a step forward and pushed Li Ran to the wall. Her face was extremely resentful, which made Li Ran feel a little uneasy, as if he had done something sinful.

Saratoga looked at Li Ran, very dissatisfied with this answer, she continued in a seductive tone:

"Your answer is very cunning. My admiral brother-in-law, do you like this title?"

Li Ran wanted to say that he liked her, but he didn't dare. The girl looked like she was on the verge of turning evil. She knew that Saratoga was a hidden sister complex, so she said guiltily:

"Gaga, please listen to my explanation."

Saratoga shook her head gently. She moved closer to Li Ran and saw that his forehead was already sweating but his eyes were calm. She curled her lips and said:

"Your eyes have already betrayed you. Since you don't want to be my brother-in-law, why did you trick my sister away?"

Li Ran opened his mouth and thought to himself, "Girl, what kind of logic is this? What do you mean by "if I don't want to be your brother-in-law, I can't kidnap your sister?" No, what does "kidnapping" mean? He drove all the messy thoughts out of his head, sighed, looked straight at Saratoga, and said affectionately:

"Jia Jia, I actually like your sister very much, but I really didn't expect her to stay. Your sister is so perfect, very beautiful, with a beautiful figure, any man would like her, but I really don't have any improper thoughts."

No way, Li Ran added in his heart, but he couldn't say that. Looking at Saratoga's tearful expression, he didn't know what his sister-in-law was trying to do. But he didn't lie, so he wasn't afraid to look the girl in the eye.

Saratoga felt a little uncomfortable with Li Ran's gaze. She looked away, took a small step back, and turned around:

"Um, Li Ran, right?"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and he responded subconsciously:

"Ah."

"The second Lexington-class ship, Saratoga, is reporting in. Please give me your guidance in the future. Since my sister is not here, I can leave the port area to you, okay?"

"Ah?" Li Ran's head hitched for a moment, and then the door of the garrison was opened by Saratoga. Juno and Quincy were eavesdropping, and suddenly they rushed in uncontrollably. Looking at Saratoga, the two women looked a little embarrassed.

Juno looked a little embarrassed, and she said timidly:

"Senior Jia Jia, I didn't hear anything."

Sigsby poked his head out from behind Juno and said in a soft voice:

"Sister Jia Jia, do you also recognize the admiral?"

Li Ran glanced at Sigsby and thought to himself, this is my little sweetheart, but he looked at Saratoga with some worry, a little afraid that she was just joking. After all, a girl's heart is hard to guess.

Saratoga saw Sigsby. As a fellow U-country shipgirl, she was quite fond of the Fletcher class. She walked over and picked up Sigsby:

"Yes, I will stay and protect you. Also, I will eat up all the aluminum in the port area. No, if I eat it all, my sister will be angry, hehe. But my sister won't blame me, right, my commander?"

When Li Ran heard Saratoga's words, he felt a chill down his spine, but he was more secretly delighted. He didn't know what had driven his sister-in-law to make the decision, but since he could keep Gaga, he could also give an explanation to Lexington, so he quickly said:

"Of course, you're most welcome."

Juno curled her lips and muttered:

"Another deceived ship girl, and she's a senior at that."

Quincy was a little confused when she saw the situation, but she mustered up the courage to say:

"Hey, that, that..."

Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Quincy's words, he felt a little strange. Even Juno, who was muttering, was brought back to her senses by Quincy's words. Saratoga, holding Sigsby, also looked at the blue-haired school girl curiously.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, Quincy was panicking, but she finally mustered up her courage and kept encouraging herself, "Quincy, come on, speak up, you can do it," she took a deep breath, then lowered her head and said:

"Heavy cruiser, New Orleans-class Quincy, please give me your guidance, Admiral."

Juno opened her mouth wide. What was going on? Why were they all vying to find the admiral?

Li Ran also had a dazed look on his face. He didn't react for a moment. What was going on? Saratoga's inexplicable approval was fine, but how could that idiot Quincy...

Quincy was about to cry when she saw that Li Ran didn't react. She quickly raised her head and looked at Saratoga's complicated expression, her friend's shocked face, and Li Ran's dazed face. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she was about to cry.

Li Ran finally reacted and said quickly:

"Well, welcome, Quincy."

Quincy heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Juno timidly, unable to bear the look in her friend's eyes. She stammered:

"Juno, um, I..."

Juno sighed and shook her head helplessly. She couldn't understand what happened today, so she simply walked out of the garrison.

Quincy suddenly became anxious, and she whispered to Li Ran:

"Admiral, can I go see Juno?"

Li Ran smiled bitterly. The thoughts of the ship girls were indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It was not just the girlish heart. Moreover, this situation did make Li Ran feel a little confused. He did not have such great charm. Besides, wasn't it said that it was difficult to get the recognition of the ship girls? So what was the situation now? Time travel benefits? Goldfinger?

Never mind. Li Ran looked at the timid Quincy and said:

"Go."

After Quincy left, Saratoga looked at Li Ran with a curious look in her eyes. Yes, she was just impulsive just now, but now, the sister-in-law is a little curious about this commander. What is it about him that makes the ship girls recognize him so quickly? She said with a smile:

"Commander, I've brought back another stupid guy, Quincy. Is he charming?"

Li Ran looked somewhat helpless after hearing what Saratoga said.

"Jia Jia, please stop laughing at me. I won't take it seriously if you say it's a joke now. And Quincy, I'll talk to her. I don't want you to choose me as your admiral just because of a momentary impulse. Really."

When Saratoga heard Li Ran's words, she originally thought that Li Ran would cheer and exclaim, but she didn't expect him to say that.

Saratoga put Sigsby down, and then regained her composure:

"What do you regard the approval of the ship girl as? Can this kind of decision be treated as a joke, Commander?"

Li Ran looked at Saratoga who suddenly became serious and was speechless.

As a ship girl, Saratoga could sense people's hearts. Although Li Ran was not the most satisfactory admiral she had ever seen, he was the first person to say such strange words. She touched Sigsby's head and said softly:

"Commander, shipgirls are different from humans. For us, recognition is a very important thing. I hope the commander will not say such things again in the future."

Li Ran was silent for a moment. He didn't understand. Although he really wanted to keep these ship girls, this development caught him off guard. However, Saratoga's words made him understand what kind of life the ship girls were. Under their innocent appearance, they also beat with hearts as delicate as humans, and they were more able to see through people's hearts. However, he still decided to make it clear, so he said seriously:

"That's not what I meant. I just hope that the decision you make is your own will, not for other reasons. I don't want you to stay because of your sister. I don't want you to put yourself in a difficult position. After all, to me, the ship girls are not weapons."

"Shipgirls aren't weapons?" Saratoga thought for a moment, and finally smiled. She said playfully:

"Commander, this answer is so-so, so please give me more advice in the future. I am as good as my sister."

Li Ran saw Saratoga still saying this, and he touched his nose. He knew that if he continued to talk, he would be suspected of being a bit of a traitor. He said sincerely:

"From now on, please give me more guidance."

Chapter 39: Supplies Arrive

While Li Ran was talking to Saratoga, Juno, who had just left the garrison, felt particularly depressed. She didn't quite understand why the two senior sisters who were once regarded as goddess sisters by the school recognized the admiral so quickly. And her good friend Quincy, who had always been called a fool, must not have made such a bold decision on a whim. After all, Quincy was very afraid of her sister New Orleans. She couldn't figure it out, so she could only come out for some fresh air.

"Juno, wait a minute."

Quincy watched Juno walking in silence, and she became anxious. She quickly chased after him and shouted.

Juno was lost in thought and walked to the lake in the island without realizing it. Then she heard Quincy's call and came to her senses and said:

"How did you come?"

"Hey, hey, Juno, I, that..." Quincy didn't know why she felt a little sorry for her friend. She stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence. She actually didn't know where to start.

Juno sighed, turned around and ignored Quincy. She picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, splashing a large circle of ripples. The atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward.

The sound of stones falling into the water made Quincy feel even more uneasy. She walked carefully to Juno's side and said in a low voice:

"Juno, I really didn't act on impulse, don't worry."

Juno finally nodded and said unhappily:

"I'm not worried about you, idiot. If anyone should be worried, it should be your sister. You are so bold, aren't you afraid that your sister will take your admiral to the military police for tea? This perverted lolita control, when I return to the academy, I must tell my sister in New Orleans that your sister ran away with someone else, and see if your sister will..."

Juno couldn't continue because she saw that Quincy's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry. Coupled with his silly and cute appearance, she sighed, reached out and rubbed Quincy's chubby face, and said:

"I'm just kidding. I'm not that bored to go tell your sister about this. But if you have time, go back to the academy and tell her yourself. I don't dare to tell anyone."

When Quincy heard Juno say this, she slapped away her mischievous hand, gritted her teeth, a trace of fear flashed across her face, and she said without confidence:

"I'm not afraid."

Juno shrugged. You are indeed an idiot Quincy. You have no confidence at all when you say that. She didn't look at her friend's face. She turned her head to look at the lake. A bird flew over the sea, and ripples appeared on the lake.

Quincy stood quietly beside Juno and found her friend was in a daze. She asked curiously:

"What are you looking at?"

Juno's tone revealed deep fatigue:

"Look at the scenery."

Quincy said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Fish occasionally swam around the lake in the island. The water here was crystal clear, reflecting the various trees by the lake. The sunlight shone through the water, creating waves of golden light, which was extremely beautiful. Quincy's eyes were full of little stars. She said:

"so beautiful."

"Yes." Juno responded, and then she paused and said:

"We should go patrol the nearby waters."

Quincy nodded hurriedly and followed Juno's footsteps towards the deepwater harbor.

……

Two days passed quietly, and Lexington returned to the port in the afternoon. After learning about the decisions of Saratoga and Quincy, she did not say much. As Li Ran's secretary ship, she naturally hoped that there would be more and more ship girls in the port area.

The port area has been very peaceful and the deep sea was also surprisingly quiet. After a few days, three days later in the afternoon, Lexington's carrier-based aircraft discovered the joint fleet of the First Fleet Girl Academy and the Admiral Academy Headquarters that came to deliver resource supplies not far from the deep-water harbor. She reported the matter to Li Ran, and Li Ran asked Lexington and Saratoga to pay attention to escort to prevent deep-sea raids. Quincy and Sigsby also volunteered to attack.

As for Juno, the free ship girl, Li Ran did not make any request, but the arrogant girl said to Li Ran:

"The light cruiser is one of the escort ships of the aircraft carrier, so I also attacked."

Then, Juno also followed the Lexington sisters out of the port, and Li Ran stood in the deepwater harbor and watched them leave. However, Lexington was worried that his admiral would be in danger if he stayed in the deepwater harbor, so he asked him to wait at the garrison and would notify him when the fleet arrived.
