Daily life with the ship girl

Quincy was actually a little nervous at this moment. She thought about the misunderstanding just now and felt that it was all her fault. She raised her head and asked pitifully:

"Admiral, is Quincy in trouble again?"

Li Ran sighed, walked up to Quincy, looked at the girl who was a head shorter than him, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly:

"No, I caused the trouble this time, Quincy. Does your sister particularly hate me?"

"No, sister, it's just that there have been too many things going on recently. A large-scale deep-sea fleet has appeared near the Xingtu Islands, causing everyone to be nervous recently. Admiral, don't blame me."

"No, Quincy, walk with me."

"Ah."

Quincy followed Li Ran, following closely, and then unknowingly Li Ran walked to the burnt forest he passed by before, but now the place has changed a lot. Because it is close to the port terminal, a large open area has been cleared by the engineering goblins.

Then he continued walking, and brought Quincy to the place where he had been attacked by the deep-sea destroyer, sat down on the beach, and said:

"Quincy, you know what?"

Quincy didn't know why Li Ran brought her here. Seeing Li Ran sitting down, she replied in confusion:

"What did the Admiral want to say?"

"Let's sit down and talk. Don't stand." Li Ran patted the seat beside him, then looked at the sea, his tone full of melancholy, and said to himself:

"It was here that I was attacked by a deep-sea destroyer for the first time."

Quincy just sat down and subconsciously moved a short distance away from Li Ran. When she heard Li Ran say this, she suddenly became nervous and asked:

"Then the Admiral was not in great danger at that time?"

"Yes, it was very dangerous. The shell flew over my head. If it weren't for the fireflies saving me, I would have been buried in the sea by then, right?"

"Firefly, Admiral, Quincy was saved by her too..."

"is it?"

"Yes. That was when we went to visit the Thunder Garrison as usual..." Quincy described to Li Ran the experience of assisting the Thunder Garrison in the battle, as well as the scene of being rescued by Firefly, in not very fancy words, and then said with lingering fear:

"At that time, deep-sea light cruisers and deep-sea light cruisers surrounded us in a black mass. There was also a deep-sea battle cruiser that pointed its guns at Quincy. It was very scary at that time. Fortunately, Firefly used torpedoes to sink the deep-sea battle cruiser, otherwise Quincy would be in danger."

"Hey, I was wondering why you and Firefly get along so well, so that's how it is."

"Well, Admiral, Quincy was wondering at that time why Firefly was so happy every day without any worries. Quincy was very envious until he met the Admiral, and then Quincy began to understand a little."

Li Ran smiled. He lay on his back on the beach. A gust of sea breeze blew, lifting the hair on his forehead. He felt that the more he interacted with Quincy, the more he felt that Quincy was not a fool. On the contrary, this girl was just confused about trivial matters. He tilted his head and looked at Quincy and said:

"Quincy, let me ask you a question."

"Yeah." Quincy was a little nervous. Being looked at by Li Ran like that, she subconsciously pressed down her skirt.

“Why do you like singing?”

"Eh?" Quincy was stunned by the question. She thought for a moment, then pouted cutely and said:

"Well, maybe, maybe it's because after I was encouraged to sing that time, I thought that being recognized by others is a wonderful thing, and that's when I started to like singing."

"It's that simple?"

"Ah."

Li Ran looked at the clear blue sky. Today's sunlight was not glaring. He felt very relaxed and said with emotion:

"It's great, it's great to be able to like something so simply."

Quincy looked at Li Ran and said this. She seemed to understand, but not quite. Then she asked:

"Admiral, what do you like?"

Li Ran said without thinking:

"Cooking, traveling, reading, watching movies, listening to music, and writing is not bad either, haha, do you think I like too many things?"

"No, Quincy knows that he is stupid and can't learn many things well, so he is often scolded. But I also want to cook for my sister. My sister works hard every day. If Quincy is not with her, she will be very sad."

Li Ran listened to Quincy talking, buried his head in his knees, and sobbed softly. He quickly sat up, rubbed Quincy's hair and said:

"Does your sister like chicken burgers?"

"Hey? Why do you ask?"

"Oh, nothing. I mean, I'll teach you how to cook, but you have to wait until you finish school, okay? I heard from Lexington that you still have a year before graduation, so study hard. As for the singing thing, I'll help you after you graduate."

"Well, Admiral, don't lie to me."

"of course."

"Admiral, what is a chicken burger?"

“It’s a kind of hamburger.”

"Oh. How do you do that?"

"That's very simple. First, the hamburger buns, then some fresh vegetables, salad dressing or ketchup, and chicken thighs. These are the ingredients. Just coat the chicken thighs with flour, fry them, and then stack them up like a sandwich. How about you, your sister, and Blücher stay at the garrison for lunch? I'll show you how."

"Well, I'll go talk to my sister then."

"Wait, don't talk about the chicken burger."

"Oh, I know."

Quincy's disappointment was swept away. At this moment, she just wanted her sister to eat something delicious. The admiral's cooking was the best. With the cooking skills taught to her by the admiral, she would be able to slowly change her sister's opinion of the admiral. Yes, definitely.

Quincy firmly believed this, but the confused little boy did not ask for directions clearly and got lost while running.

Li Ran stayed at the beach for more than ten minutes before he heard Quincy say in the exclusive channel with some fear:

"Admiral, Quincy is lost. There are trees everywhere."

Li Ran was a little confused. He sighed and said:

"Wait for me, I'll come find you right away."

Li Ran sighed. Quincy was indeed a fool. He could get lost like this. He thought about it and contacted Bismarck:

"Bismarck, are you free?"

"What's the matter, Admiral?"

Li Ran stood up from the beach, and then privately chatted with Bismarck in the exclusive channel:

"Use the [AR-196 Seaplane] to help me find where Quincy is. It seems she ran into the forest and got lost."

"I understand. Leave it to me," Bismarck replied.

Richelieu looked at Bismarck curiously, sighed, and asked:

"what happened?"

"Quincy is lost, and the admiral asked me to help find him."

"Lost?" Richelieu showed a helpless expression, then watched Bismarck release his reconnaissance plane, watched the reconnaissance plane fly away, and then asked with a sense of loss:

"Bismarck, do you think we can succeed in this operation?"

"It will definitely work. Victory will definitely belong to us."

"Yeah." Richelieu smiled and thought that his worry was unnecessary.

Not long after, Li Ran, led by the Bismarck reconnaissance plane, found Quincy in the eastern forest. He signaled Bismarck to take back the reconnaissance plane, then walked up to Quincy and said:

"Why did you come here?"

Li Ran remembered that the eastern forest was in the opposite direction of the port terminal. Quincy was really confused.

"Admiral, Quincy doesn't know either."

Li Ran sighed, then patted Quincy on the head and said:

"Come on, I'll take you to find your sister."

Quincy showed an OvO expression, and then as if he was afraid that Li Ran would leave, he timidly took Li Ran's hand.

Li Ran felt the amazing touch on his arm, looked at Quincy's timid face, sighed, and led him out of the Eastern Forest.

As he walked, Li Ran thought:

It's a sin, it's a sin to have any thoughts about stupid Quincy.

Quincy is in great shape though!

Chapter 71: Sisters

Li Ran took Quincy to look for her sister everywhere, and finally saw Bai Nuoyan and his group in the warehouse area.

"Sister." Quincy saw New Orleans and quickly let go of Li Ran's hand.

New Orleans saw how close her sister was to Li Ran. She wanted to scold her, but when she saw that her sister was always so afraid of her, she sighed inaudibly and said:

"Why are you here? Do you want to go back?"

Li Ran heard that Xin Orleans seemed to be still angry and said quickly:

"Well, can you guys stay for lunch? Oh, you guys are guests after all, so I should do my best to be a good host."

New Orleans frowned. She was about to say no, but Blücher said first:

"Of course, I heard from Quincy that your cooking skills in the tutelary mansion are quite good."

"Okay, Quincy, you stay with your sister for a while, I have something else to do." Li Ran was relieved to see Blücher agreed, then he remembered that his garrison was busy attacking the three islands, and he hadn't checked the preparations of his own ship girls yet, so he thought for a moment and said:

"I still have some things to take care of, so please feel free to do as you please."

"Well, you go about your business." Blücher knew that as free ship girls, although they had the identity of the gendarmerie, they could not interfere too much in the admiral's affairs, unless it was a very serious incident like the marriage destroyer, in which case the admiral would only be locked up for a few days. When she heard Li Ran say this, she also knew that the other party had given her enough face, so naturally she didn't say much.

Li Ran nodded, then patted Quincy on the head and said on the admiral's personal network channel:

"Don't be afraid. Talk to your sister more. She definitely doesn't want her sister to be scared when she sees her."

Quincy responded with a confused look, then watched Li Ran wave his hand and walk away, and walked to his sister with some trepidation.

Blucher poked his friend's body, causing New Orleans, who was staring at Li Ran's departing back, to turn around. She looked at Quincy and said unhappily:

"After lunch, I'm going to the Far East War Zone. Do you want to come with me, or stay here and wait for me?"

Quincy was stunned for a moment, then Blücher quickly walked to Quincy, laughed, put his arm around Quincy's shoulders and said:

"Quincy, of course you went along, didn't you?"

Quincy saw Blücher winking at her, and she said:

"I listen to my sister."

"Yeah." New Orleans nodded.

……

Li Ran left the warehouse area and contacted Lexington while walking:

"Is the preparation going smoothly?"

"Well, don't worry, Commander."

"Where are you?"

"Near the lake in the island, what? Commander is coming over?"

"Well, I'll go over there. After all, as an admiral, I have to fulfill my obligations before you go out on the expedition."

"Well, I'll let Firefly pick you up then."

"No need, I can just go there myself."

After saying that, Li Ran hung up the phone and headed towards the lake on the island.

A few minutes later, he finally walked out of the warehouse and came to the Island Lake, where he found Lexington and the others sitting around a large round table having a meeting, presumably a pre-war preparation meeting.

"Hello, Admiral." Everyone said in unison when they saw Li Ran.

"I think I've arrived just in time?" Li Ran looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but think of the ancient Knights of the Round Table meeting, except that the meeting was not attended by knights but by ship girls. He didn't hesitate to find a chair and sit down, then looked at the documents such as charts and tables scattered on the table, and said:

"You guys continue your discussion, don't bother with me."

Lexington nodded, then picked up a detailed nautical chart of the waters near Island C and began to describe her reconnaissance:

"According to the reconnaissance over the past few days, the reef area near Island C is in the northeast of the island, which is this place. Here..."
