The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

"Call Royal Fortune?" asked New Jersey.

"She would come even if you didn't call her." Huang Chen shook his head, pulled out a thread and just threw it away when he suddenly found some wrinkles on his right sleeve.

He took off his coat, spread it flat on the sofa cushion, and carefully heated it with a bottle of hot water.

New Jersey raised an eyebrow and said, "It's already very smooth."

"It's okay, there's no harm in tidying it up."

"If the water spills..."

"Shh! Be careful with your words!" Huang Chen glared at the girl, carefully placed the water cup on the coffee table, put on his clothes, looked in the mirror, nodded contentedly, and put on his wide-brimmed hat. "Almost done, let's go."

New Jersey shook his head but said nothing, chuckling as he followed behind him.

The awarding ceremony was held in a small auditorium. In principle, commanders who were required to participate in the training were required to bring their own ship girls, and these ship girls also had to wear uniforms, so New Jersey was not conspicuous at all.

Huang Chen arrived three minutes earlier this time, and found his seat almost on time. As soon as he sat down, he saw Musashi walking to the podium in a navy uniform.

"Good afternoon, commanders. After two weeks of training, I believe you all have a basic understanding of a commander's responsibilities. We are also very much looking forward to today's awarding ceremony."

"Then I won't say any more nonsense. Everyone stand up and salute!"

Musashi's voice echoed throughout the auditorium through the microphone. All the commanders and ship girls immediately stood up, forming a sea of black. Even the teacher who was maintaining order on the side stopped and looked solemnly at the flag slowly rising in front of the auditorium.

"Ceremony concluded." Three minutes later, Musashi picked up the microphone and continued, "Commanders of serial numbers 000 to 009, please come to the stage."

"I'm going up." Huang Chen whispered in New Jersey's ear, then squeezed through the crowd and slowly walked up to the podium.

Ten people stood in a row facing the crowd.

Musashi put down the microphone and walked over slowly. A ship girl with long black hair was holding a tray beside him. She was the person in charge of this ship girl training class, the head of the heavy cruiser department, Atago.

"Commander Huang Chen!"

Musashi nodded slightly, took out the epaulettes from the tray beside him and put them on him.

There were already medals on his uniform, which were taken away by Musashi before the morning exam, just waiting for this moment.

Musashi put on his epaulettes, adjusted his wide-brimmed hat, and then took a small red notebook from a tray beside him.

Huang Chen took it with both hands. He knew that this was the commander's ID.

"I hope you can work tirelessly for humanity and ship girls!" Musashi said as if he didn't know him, nodded slightly, and walked towards the next commander.

Huang Chen held up his ID with a polite smile on his face, waiting quietly for the awarding ceremony to be over.

New Jersey sat in the chair below and clapped silently. He nodded slightly, turned his head and saw that Royal Fortune had run to the auditorium at some point and was looking around on tiptoe.

Then he noticed Huang Chen on the podium and started waving his hands wildly, like a five-speed electric fan.

Isn't Royal Wealth going to have a class?!

Huang Chen's eyelids twitched wildly, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, a moment later, a ship girl with long red hair appeared at the door of the auditorium. She scanned the crowd and her eyes fell on Royal Fortune, then lit up.

He immediately called the people behind him, silently walked behind Royal Fortune, and patted her on the shoulder.

When Royal Fortune turned around, he was held by several people, his mouth covered, and he was walked towards the door.

The teacher who was maintaining order noticed this scene and was about to go forward to see what was going on.

The red-haired ship girl who appeared first immediately ran over to explain, and the teacher who maintained order soon showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

All communications and actions are silent, quiet, fast and efficient, just like the seamless meshing of gears, which is refreshing.

Apart from the royal wealth that was hanging over her, she was still struggling.

Huang Chen kept a straight face, trying his best not to show any strange expression.

He naturally realized that the silly pirate had skipped classes to watch his awarding ceremony, but his skipping skills were not very good, so he was discovered and arrested.

Although I was a little amused, I was still quite touched.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly to Royal Fortune who was still struggling violently. The latter was stunned and immediately calmed down.

The teachers who were holding her looked puzzled and looked around. Finally, they followed Royal Wealth's gaze and found Huang Chen. They looked at him with gratitude.

Huang Chen didn't move. He found that the silly pirate's teacher seemed a little silly too.

"Okay, look here."

In front of the rostrum, a girl with short yellow hair was holding a camera and greeting everyone.

"Everyone, hold up your credentials and face the front of the podium. Don't smile, be serious, and stand a little closer. Yes, that's it. Ready, three, two, one, OK!"

Chapter 704 Upgrade

The awarding ceremony was indeed simple.

After one group received their documents and took photos, it was the next group's turn. There were about a hundred training commanders in total, and it took a total of two hours.

Including things like the oath-taking, the entire awarding ceremony took less than two and a half hours.

It started at two o'clock and ended at four-thirty, far before the normal five o'clock get out of class time on weekdays.

Huang Chen walked to the door of the auditorium with New Jersey, his hands in his pockets. The bustling crowd passed by them, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Although the training process was ordinary and there were no major events or obstacles, the successful completion still made everyone happy.

"From today on, I can officially say that I am a commander." Huang Chen flipped open the certificate in his hand and said with a long sigh.

The commander's ID was opened vertically, and half of it was inlaid with the metal emblem of the KanColle headquarters.

The lower half formed a transparent small pocket like a wallet, with a card stuffed in the pocket. On the front was his headshot, followed by his name, number and Hehui Island Port Area.

He took out the card, and on the back were his gender, blood type, military rank, port number, and island number.

"Kind of ugly."

He looked at it over and over again, and finally expressed his dissatisfaction with the photo above.

"He's definitely not as handsome as Honey himself." New Jersey agreed. "Why don't we go find Musashi and ask her to make a new one for us?"

"...That's not necessary." Huang Chen shook his head, put the documents away carefully, and wondered whether to go back to the dormitory directly or look for Royal Wealth.

Suddenly, a burst of quick footsteps was heard. He looked up and saw Musashi hurriedly coming out of the auditorium, looking around. When his eyes fell on him, his eyes lit up and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were gone. I forgot to tell you to wait a moment."

Huang Chen was a little confused, but New Jersey beside him hugged his arm and chuckled, "Let me make it clear first, Honey has graduated, and I've already resigned. Don't come to us with any messy things!"

"I'm not asking you to work." Musashi shook his head and took out a small red notebook and handed it over.

Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then recognized it as a commander's ID card and immediately became confused. "What is this..."

"Your ID." Musashi stuffed the ID directly into his hand, and then took out two epaulettes to replace them for him.

New Jersey looked at it strangely. The style of the epaulettes was somewhat similar to hers, but they were not those of a teacher but those of a major general. The girl was a little confused, "Musashi, forging a commander's certificate and epaulettes is a serious crime."

"This belongs to Commander Huang Chen." Musashi finished changing his epaulettes, put away his previous private epaulettes, and then spread out his hands to ask for his previous ID. "If you've changed to the new one, can you give me the old one?"

"Wait..." Huang Chen raised his hand, feeling a little confused. "What on earth is going on? And these two documents..."

He pulled out the cards from the two certificates and compared the contents carefully, and found that there was no difference except that one was a private and the other was a major general.

"Commander Huang Chen previously repelled the Siren Tide in Area C14. That achievement was enough to get him promoted to Major General." Musashi explained briefly.

"Hey, so this kind of thing also counts? And how did you know about it?" Huang Chen was quite surprised. He had never mentioned this matter since he came to the college.

New Jersey blinked curiously. As the deputy director of the Battleship Department, she should have known about the matter, even if she didn't know the details. But in reality, she knew nothing about the whole thing from beginning to end. This was not normal.

Eh? ...She's barely been to work these past few days? That's fine then.

"The academy has long known about Commander Huang Chen's contribution in that battle." Musashi chuckled. "It's just that there's no precedent for whether this situation should be counted as merit, so we produced two certificates. Just now, the Kanmusu headquarters sent a notice confirming that merit should be counted."

"So that's how it is." Huang Chen nodded and handed the previous documents to Musashi, but he still felt something was strange.

"That's it." Musashi chuckled, glanced at the certificate in his hand, then looked at New Jersey beside him. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and sighed, "The training is finally over."

New Jersey chuckled, "It's okay, Junction Island isn't far from here, you can come visit us when you're free."

"Okay." Musashi nodded and returned to the auditorium to continue working.

Huang Chen touched his epaulettes, feeling rather strange. "I became a major general just like that? That was too fast."

As he spoke, he looked at the ID in his hand, glanced at the photo on it, and shook his head, "It's still a little ugly."

"Okay!" New Jersey chuckled and pulled Huang Chen towards the Royal Wealth class.

Although she was sent to the academy to receive education because she made a mistake, Miss Pirate still lived a very free life.

Except for the first few days when she was under special supervision, after learning the basic common sense, she gained the right to move freely in the college. As long as she attended classes on time and returned to the dormitory on time, the college would not care about anything else.

You can even meet some of her reasonable requests, such as going to the warehouse to admire the Rubik's Cube and inventory, etc.

It is said that they believe that this free lifestyle will help her become a normal ship girl better and faster.

However, Huang Chen thinks this is somewhat difficult.

The two walked to an old teaching building, which was two stories high and had six classrooms. It was supposed to be abandoned, but was later used as a place for training illegal ship girls.

Looking from a distance, there was only one light on.

Although they knew that Miss Pirate was taking classes here, this was the first time they came to see her.

Huang Chen was a little surprised, "I thought there would be a lot of ship girls like Royal Fortune."

After all, many ship girls have some quirks, but they are not to the extent that they need to be locked up, so they will be sent to the academy for education.

"How is that possible? Only a newly born ship girl would be like that." New Jersey shook her head.

"I see... I wonder if Royal Fortune will get detention for skipping class earlier."

The two walked forward and looked in through the window like a class teacher checking on the evening self-study class. Huang Chen blinked, blinked again, and then asked in an uncertain tone, "New Jersey, am I seeing things?"

"That's right, honey, there's only one person, Royal Fortune."

There was only one desk in the huge classroom. Royal Wealth sat there, like a model student, staring intently at the teacher who was talking incessantly at the podium.

He may be staring at the teacher or at the blackboard, but the most likely possibility is that he is in a daze.

Huang Chen raised his eyebrows, thinking of the awarding ceremony, and couldn't help shaking his head, "She was the only one in the class, and she dared to skip class..."

"It's royal wealth after all." New Jersey smiled helplessly.

Chapter 705 Gift

The walls of the classroom are very thick, and the windows and furnishings inside have a sense of age, but it is kept very clean, allowing people to clearly see the details on the blackboard.

The lecturer was a ship girl with long silver hair. Huang Chen thought she looked familiar and quickly remembered that she was one of the teachers who had just carried the royal treasure.

"The get out of class is almost over."

New Jersey reminded him, and just as he finished speaking, the crisp bell for the end of get out of class rang.

Royal Fortune, who was sitting upright on the chair, seemed to have suddenly regained consciousness. Although he was still sitting on the chair, his whole body exuded an aura of restlessness.

The teacher at the podium hadn't finished a topic yet and was about to continue, but when he saw the student's expression, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's stop here for today!"

"Long live!" Royal Wealth cheered and ran away like a wild dog, rushed out of the classroom, and ran towards the side path.

Fortunately, Huang Chen was quick-witted and grabbed the girl, "Where are you going?"

"Ah!" Royal Fortune was stunned. He turned around and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized, "Is the awarding ceremony over?"

"It ended a long time ago." Huang Chen shook his head and walked slowly towards the commercial street with the girl. "We're planning to celebrate tonight. Do you want to come?"

He felt that this was actually nonsense. In fact, Royal Fortune had come here every day for meals in the past few days. It made no sense for them to suddenly disappear when they were about to have a good meal.

New Jersey thought so too. He simply held Huang Chen's hand with one hand and Royal Wealth with the other. The three of them walked side by side, while thinking about what to buy back.

I can pack some barbecue, small cakes, ice cream... maybe some beer, and the ones I prepared earlier...

"Ok?"

New Jersey felt a pause in his hand and looked back to see that it was Royal Wealth that had stopped.

The pirate lady looked hesitant, with a rare look of confusion on her face. "Can I, can I wait a little longer?"

"Wait a minute?" Huang Chen was quite surprised and looked the girl up and down carefully.

He actually said something like "wait a minute" before eating. He even suspected that the royal wealth in front of him had been swapped.
