Daily life with the ship girl

"Stupid Quincy, I told your admiral it should be okay. Um, Li Ran, let me tell you, Quincy sang a song at the April Fools' School Festival two years ago and unexpectedly captured a large number of fans. This made Aoba, who aspired to become an idol, feel that his idol status was threatened. Haha, then Quincy was..."

Quincy quickly covered Juno's mouth. She blushed and stammered:

"Admiral, it's better not to know what happened next."

"Hmm~" As a light cruiser girl, Juno's strength is naturally not as good as that of the heavy cruiser girl Quincy. She found that her good friend really didn't want to make her admiral worry, so she patted Quincy's hand.

Quincy also felt that he had overreacted and quickly let go.

Li Ran looked at the two girls mysteriously. Although he was curious, he did not gossip. Instead, he stroked Quincy's blue hair and said softly:

"Remember what I told you? Sing if you want to, and sing loudly. There's actually another sentence behind it."

Quincy's eyes sparkled, and she felt courage burning in her chest. She asked in a somewhat anxious and coquettish tone:

"Admiral, tell them quickly."

Juno made a "you are so cheesy" expression and shivered exaggeratedly. Pinghai couldn't help but knocked Juno on the head and whispered:

"Stop it."

When Juno heard Ping Hai say this, she walked over to Ping Hai with a smile, took her arm and said:

"I'm going to miss you."

Ping Hai sighed. She was interrupted by Juno and didn't even hear what the admiral and Quincy said. She pinched Juno's face in annoyance and said:

"If you want me to stay and be the admiral's ship girl."

"You're here again." Juno spread her hands, feeling helpless.

And what did Li Ran and Quincy say?

In fact, when Li Ran heard Quincy's coquettish words, he felt his bones soften and goose bumps appeared. However, he still tried his best to suppress his restless heart. He could not have any bad thoughts about the idiot, as that would be too sinful. So he pretended to be deep and sang softly:

"Sing if you want to, sing loudly, even if no one will applaud me..."

Pinghai and Juno heard Li Ran's singing, which was surprisingly good, with a slightly low voice. The two girls looked at each other, stopped talking, and listened quietly.

The look in Quincy's eyes when she looked at Li Ran turned into admiration and emotion. Her eyes were red, but this time she gritted her teeth and tried not to let the tears fall.

Li Ran finished singing the song "Sing If You Want" and then saw Quincy bursting into tears. He was startled and said quickly:

"Quincy, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

Quincy choked up. She felt like a failure. She said she wouldn't cry but she couldn't hold back her tears. When she heard Li Ran's words, she couldn't hold back the grievance in her heart any longer.

Quincy doesn't care about being called an idiot.

Quincy could just laugh it off when people said he was not doing his job properly.

The only thing that was Quincy's dream was singing, and she had never been able to let it go. She also wanted to be a powerful heavy cruiser girl like her sister New Orleans, but as a girl who hated fighting, she actually yearned to be like ordinary people, to be able to pursue her dreams freely, so she felt full of grievances.

When Quincy was inspired by Li Ran's song, her psychological defenses collapsed instantly. She looked weak, but in fact she was a strong and patient girl, just a little confused sometimes.

It was the first time that Juno saw Quincy crying. She thought Li Ran had done something to his friend again and was about to speak out, but Pinghai covered her mouth with his hand and pulled Juno away. She wanted to give her admiral and Quincy a chance to be alone. This was Pinghai's emotional intelligence.

When Li Ran saw Quincy crying and throwing herself into his arms, his body stiffened slightly, then relaxed. He hugged her gently and said:

"It's okay. It's just a trip back to the academy. You can come back whenever you want. If your sister is really angry, I can just find a time to come and apologize."

Quincy buried his head in Li Ran's arms, hugged him tightly, just crying and saying nothing.

Li Ran sighed, "Oh my god, why did it turn out like this?" He gently stroked Quincy's back, but at this moment he didn't have any romantic thoughts in his mind. He just felt that Quincy looked so helpless now, like a child whose candy was taken away from him.

Finally, Li Ran's chest was soaked with Quincy's tears. The confused ship girl finally raised her head, looked at Li Ran pitifully, and said in a choked voice:

"Admiral, Quincy is not stupid. Quincy likes singing. Quincy hates fighting, but Quincy knows that he cannot be willful. Quincy is desperately learning fighting skills. But, but Quincy really doesn't like fighting. The deep sea is too annoying, but the person who wants me to give up singing is even more annoying."

Li Ran listened to Quincy silently, he played the role of a tree hole, and as he listened, he found that the silly Quincy was not stupid at all. She actually had dreams like many girls, but because she was not just a girl, but a battleship girl, a ship girl, who had to fight to the death with the deep sea black fleet since her birth and protect the existence of human admirals.

Therefore, Quincy hid her dream very deeply. Moreover, Quincy also said that Aoba found an admiral who supported her, and she felt very envious.

Li Ran felt a little sorry for this girl. Ever since she joined his garrison, Quincy had a very low presence and was usually not noisy. This was very different from the Quincy who often broke the glass of the garrison in Li Ran's gaming memory.

Li Ran then realized that the game becoming reality is not as simple as the ship girls coming to life. More importantly, each of the ship girls here is unique and has her own personality traits, which are somewhat different from the personality settings of the ship girls in the game.

Only then did he truly realize that there is one thing that must be recognized in this unscientific world of Warship Girls, and that is that the Warship Girls are creatures that have been awakened from the steel of the wreckage of ancient warships with the thoughts of mankind. As they have been in this world for a long time, they will also have some minor psychological problems and need someone to enlighten them in time.

Li Ran was somewhat glad that he discovered Quincy's little problem by accident.

After Quincy finally stopped crying and venting her emotions, he gently wiped the tears from the confused girl's eyes, then stroked Quincy's ahoge and said:

"Quincy, as your admiral, I will support you. In the future, I will make you a big star on Xiguang Island and record music for you and release an album. I can promise you all of these, but there is one thing you have to promise me."

Quincy nodded quickly and agreed.

Li Ran thought about it, then said to Quincy seriously:

"This time you go back, you have to finish your studies and then come back, understand?"

Quincy pursed his lips, then lowered his head and said weakly:

"Can I not read?"

"No, don't even think about releasing an album until you finish your studies."

"Admiral, you are so bad."

"This is for your own good."

"Admiral?"

"What's the matter?"

Quincy whispered to himself in an almost inaudible voice:

"Admiral, Quincy likes you very much."

"What?" Li Ran didn't hear clearly, he asked with some confusion.

"Nothing. By the way, where are Juno and the others?" A trace of disappointment and a trace of relief flashed across Quincy's face. She was disappointed that Li Ran didn't hear her confession just now, and she was relieved that Li Ran didn't hear her confession just now.

What a strange girl!

Li Ran frowned. It was getting late. He shouted:

"Pinghai, Juno, it's time to go."

"Hey, here she comes." Pinghai's voice came from afar, and then she pulled Juno back to Li Ran.

Li Ran helped Quincy carry the small suitcase, and then said:

"Let's go."

The four figures slowly moved towards the deep-water harbor...

Chapter 49: The water is shining and the weather is fine

Li Ran and the three girls chatted and laughed as they arrived at the deepwater harbor. He saw Jia Jia who was conducting carrier-based aircraft training in the harbor. She was launching carrier-based aircraft from her ship. One blue carrier-based aircraft after another took off and then disappeared into the clouds.

"Commander?" Since Saratoga recognized Li Ran, she started addressing him like her sister Lexington, no longer calling him Admiral but Commander. She had just launched the last batch of carrier-based aircraft, and then saw Li Ran coming with Ping Hai and others. She started the water propulsion device and came to the shore, feeling a little strange:

"Commander is going out?"

"No, I'm sending Quincy and Juno. They left the academy a long time ago."

"You don't want Quincy anymore? You are such an ungrateful admiral!"

"Ah?"

When Quincy heard what the senior said, he quickly explained:

"No, the Admiral wants me to go back and finish my classes. I'm about to graduate, and I haven't been back to the academy in half a month. My sister should be worried."

Saratoga pursed her lips and looked at Li Ran, who looked helpless. She knew she had said something wrong again. She stuck out her tongue and apologized in a coquettish voice:

"I'm sorry, Commander, Jia Jia was wrong~"

Li Ran got goosebumps all over his body. He rubbed his eyebrows:

"Speak nicely, or I'll ask your sister to take you back to the academy for class."

"Stingy man." Saratoga snorted.

Li Ran sighed, but didn't see Lexington, which made him feel a little strange:

"Where's your sister?"

"My sister went out with Helena, Bismarck, Richelieu, Firefly, and Walkeran. They should be going to the sea near Island C to conduct reconnaissance. Sigsby went to help the fairies. Why, do you miss my sister so much?"

Li Ran was somewhat helpless, but he frowned and said in a serious tone:

"Jia Jia, Juno and Quincy are going back to the First Ship Girl Academy. Send a carrier-based aircraft to escort them."

"What about the port area?" Although Saratoga is usually eccentric, as a ship girl, she immediately remembered her duties and the task her sister gave her before she went to war.

Li Ran thought about it. Although Juno, a light cruiser, and Quincy, a heavy cruiser, both have certain air defense capabilities, they still need regular aircraft carrier-based aircraft to escort them. He knew what Gaga was worried about, but still said:

"Ping Hai is in the port area, and I won't be going out to sea. You just need to escort them to the sea area near your sister and the others. Remember not to go too far."

"Okay." Saratoga nodded, thinking that as long as she went early and came back early, she nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Gaga agreed, Li Ran handed the small suitcase to Quincy, and then said to her and Juno:

"You two should be careful on the road. If you are running low on supplies, go to the Thunder Guard House to rest. Safety is the top priority."

"Got it." Quincy responded quickly.

Juno curled her lips. She was a little touched, but still said proudly:

"Got it, long-winded man."

Li Ran touched his nose, apparently used to Juno's way of speaking, while Ping Hai slapped him directly:

"If you do this again, don't come to me next time."

"Good Pinghai, isn't it okay for me to admit my mistake?" Juno looked at her good friend who was angry, and quickly smiled and begged for mercy.

Farewell words always end at the time of separation. Li Ran gave Quincy a few instructions, and then he watched Quincy and Juno deploy their ship equipment and leave the port. It was not until their figures and Saratoga disappeared on the distant horizon that he came to his senses with some melancholy.

"Admiral?" Pinghai looked at Li Ran with a look of melancholy and reluctance. She shook his arm with full energy and said:

"Don't be discouraged, you have to be full of energy every day, keep working hard!"

Li Ran thought to himself, what a lively girl! He smiled, touched her long gray hair, and said:

"Well, I'll do my best. Come on, let's go see Sigsby."

Pinghai felt Li Ran's hand was gentle and comfortable. She followed him and walked slowly, then said:

"Admiral, can Ping Hai go to watch the training of the sisters in Minato in the future? I mean, can you go when I am free and not during my training?"

"Of course you can, but Pinghai, you can't be too hasty. You have to become stronger step by step, and you have to realize your naval dream step by step. We were weak before, but in this world, we will become extremely powerful. I will fulfill your unfulfilled naval dream for you in this world!" Li Ran stopped and looked at Pinghai seriously, and said so.

"Well, Pinghai knows. As long as you keep dreaming, it will take root and sprout one day."

"Yes, a powerful navy will become a reality one day!"

Li Ran pulled Ping Hai and walked towards a small settlement built by the fairy tribe in the lake on the island. Through the admiral's personal network, he could sense the approximate location of Xiguang Island's own ship girl. Sigsby was there.

Pinghai let Li Ran lead her. She looked at the forest path along the way. It had been roughly trimmed. The trees on both sides were scattered in an orderly manner, showing a good level of gardening. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled golden light all over the ground. This scene made Pinghai's eyes blurry. She thought to herself:

The admiral's hands are so warm, I wish we could keep walking like this.

However, as long as there is a destination on the road, there will always be a moment when it comes to an end.

Pinghai and Li Ran arrived at the fairy settlement in the lake on the island ten minutes later. The fairies chose to settle by the lake. Although they preferred sea water, fresh water was barely acceptable. Moreover, it was more convenient for the fairies to work on shore here, so they didn't have to go back to the underground cave in the deep-water port area every time.

This was the first time Li Ran had come to the newly built Island Lake in half a month. There were many cabins by the lake, and Li Ran took Pinghai to one of the cabins.

This cabin was made of nearby trees and was very delicate and compact. There were also some wooden furniture inside. No wonder the fairies were given magical titles. He did not enter the cabin because there were scaffoldings around the cabin that had not been dismantled, and it was obvious that the cabin had not been completed yet.

Li Ran and Ping Hai walked around the lake on the island. This place was close to an open-pit iron mine on the island, so Sigsby must be there.

The iron mine was given the [Gift of Black Iron from the Forest] by the fairies, also known as the Forest Iron Mine. It is an open-pit iron mine of excellent quality. It is also the iron mine with the safest mining environment among the three iron mines that the fairies have discovered. The rest of the iron mines are close to the coast and are in danger of being attacked by the deep-sea fleet, so the mining plan has been postponed.

Li Ran and Ping Hai finished touring the project near the lake in the island. He looked a little strange. The more he looked at the layout, the more it looked like a lakeside resort. Could it be that one of the ship girls came up with this idea? He smiled. After more than half a month of getting along, he and the ship girls had become very familiar with each other. The ship girls were no longer restrained when doing things, and would give him some surprises from time to time. For example, if he hadn't run into Lexington and Helena discussing the port planning last night, I'm afraid Lexington would not have told him in advance.

He felt a little helpless in his heart. These ship girls always felt that he was too nice to them, but Li Ran just felt that all this was just within his ability and the only thing he could do. After all, as a time traveler, he had not been influenced by the values ​​of this world since childhood, so his way of doing things was very different from what the ship girls saw, and this was also what attracted Lexington and other free ship girls.

Li Ran looked at the sparkling lake on the island and said softly, "The water is bright and beautiful when it is sunny."

Pinghai's eyes sparkled as she said:

"Admiral, let's write down Tang and Song poems from now on. Pinghai remembers a lot of them, and I'm sure everyone will like them."
