(New Book is climbing the charts, and I humbly request support from Admiral masters.)
"Regretting it?" Chuyang was taken aback. To be honest, if the other party hadn't let him take the Firefly, he really wouldn't have had any way out. Fighting? There was no way he could win, even if he brought a hundred more of himself; it wouldn't be enough to match the Battlecruiser Shipgirl's strength. As for calling the police, sorry, but Admiral and Fleet Girls are not under police jurisdiction. And what about the Gendarmerie? They are in the service area, but considering the other party's identity, those Fleet Girls in the Gendarmerie would definitely not be able to help him.
However, it was clear that Feilin was just joking and didn't delve deeper into this issue; instead, she changed the subject and said, "When I encountered the Firefly, that was probably about four years ago! By the way, you know about Scarlet City, right? It's that military stronghold in southern Europe, where your admired European Emperor has her Naval Base built right next to Scarlet City..."
Scarlet City, of course, Chuyang knew about it. It is located at the southernmost tip of the European continent and is one of the few international metropolises along with Rongcheng. However, this city is famous among Admiral circles not because of the city itself but because of one person. That's right, it's the European Emperor. For most non-elite individuals who cannot build large ships, having numerous Fleet Girls under her command and possessing various super rare ships like the twenty-one certificates of the European Emperor undoubtedly makes her an object of their admiration and worship.
Some salty fish Admiral even set up a longevity tablet for the European Emperor at her Naval Base, burning incense three times a day without interruption just to pray for good ships during construction. Every year, countless Admiral, whether by plane or cruise ship or train, travel to Scarlet City to pay their respects to the European Emperor, hoping to share in her good fortune.
As for the real name of the European Emperor, which is Angel, very few people mention it or even know it. But Chuyang had seen detailed information about the European Emperor in a book at the academy library. In terms of actual age, not only is the European Emperor not older than Chuyang, but she is actually several years younger. She is a standard post-95s girl who just turned 23 this year. Yet this young girl managed to develop a once impoverished small Naval Base into a globally renowned giant with outstanding comprehensive strength within just five years. She has truly earned the title of "European Emperor" and has become a prominent figure at such a young age.
And him... Why is there such a huge gap between people?
"...At that time, the Firefly was curled up in her petite form hiding at the corner of Fifth Avenue in Scarlet City, staring intently at the Michelin bakery across the street. It was obvious that little Kiddo was already starving, drooling over some Crystal. Even I, a stranger, didn't realize when I walked up beside her... At that time, the Firefly seemed very naive and was full of vigilance towards all strangers; she looked like a little Kiddo who had just escaped from the shackles of resentment in the deep sea and transformed back into a Fleet Girl...”
Deep Sea and Fleet Girls essentially belong to the same kind of being; both are born from the wreckage of warships in the Old World, transformed by spirits attached to them. If we say that Fleet Girls represent truth, goodness, and beauty gathered from battleship spirits, then Deep Sea Shipgirl represents a collection of various negative emotions from battleship spirits.
In very rare cases, when a Deep Sea Shipgirl is sunk, a new Fleet Girl will appear at her sinking location. This new Fleet Girl is actually that sunk deep sea entity. However, she has now broken free from her negative emotions' constraints and can no longer be called a Deep Sea Shipgirl. Instead, she should simply be referred to as a Fleet Girl.
Lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, Feilin completely ignored the disdainful looks from those around her and continued at her unhurried pace to recount Firefly's past.
"...She is just a little Kiddo, not even knowing how to spend money, yet she tells me she has been a Fleet Girl for two years. If that's true, then even the foolish Fleet Girls like Quincy should have long integrated into human society..."
"......" Chuyang truly didn't know what expression to make. It seems that no matter how the world changes, no matter how many Quincys there are, even if their appearances are completely different from their game settings, they still steadfastly exhibit their foolish traits. There is a certain masterful foolishness about them, reminiscent of the saying, "Let the strong be strong, as the gentle breeze caresses the mountain ridge. Let the bold be bold, as the bright moon shines over the great river."
"...She also told me that she used to have a large Naval Base, filled with many powerful Fleet Girls. Even rare Fleet Girls like Lion and Missouri could only sit on the sidelines without a chance to go on an expedition. But when I asked her where this Naval Base was, she couldn't clarify. Moreover, if such a powerful Naval Base really existed in the world, why is there no record of it in any files? I have never heard of it either. However, this cannot be blamed on Firefly; it must be the remnants of memories left in the Wreckage of Warships that created this illusion for her. Such situations are rare but not unheard of, so it's not surprising."
"Later, after getting familiar with the little girl, she noticed my disbelief and stopped mentioning her Naval Base. However, she wanted to find Battleship Prince of Wales and Destroyer Trust, insisting that those two Fleet Girls were her best friends. Trust is not worth mentioning; there are at least 800 or 1000 Fleet Girls named Trust worldwide. But Prince of Wales is different; as far as I know, there are currently only three Fleet Girls who have inherited the name of Old World Royal Navy HMS King George V Class Battleship No. 2 Prince of Wales, and I happen to know all three of them. Although I am only casually acquainted with two of them, I do know whether they have Firefly as a friend. Since Kiddo said that, to dissuade her from holding onto false hopes, I took Circus with me to those three places. The outcome is needless to say... I'm telling you this not for any other reason; Kiddo's personality is quite stubborn and tends to get fixated on things. Sometimes you need to be more understanding. If possible, please keep an eye out! Perhaps what Kiddo said might actually be true."
"Alright then, let's part ways here. I hope we don't meet again because if we do, it's likely that Firefly has been wronged and I'm coming to settle things with you."
Before leaving, Feilin didn't forget to threaten Chuyang once more; however, he didn't mind this kind of threat. It was clear that Feilin was not usually a talkative person, but everything she said now was for Firefly's sake. To be cared for by others like this undoubtedly made Kiddo happy, while he wondered when he would find someone who truly cared for him.
But now was not the time to think about these things because a song he was very familiar with began playing from the stage. Could it be that Firefly also came from another world?
