"Missing. Probably dead!" Lexington thought.
Although being an Admiral is not considered a high-risk profession, they lack the ability to engage in battle with Deep Sea Shipgirls and do not need to be on the front lines to command. However, the human body is incredibly fragile; collapsing buildings, bullets flying through the air, shrapnel, and towering waves can all take their lives. Even under normal circumstances, speeding vehicles on the streets, falling flower pots from above, or even slipping on a banana peel can lead to their demise. Therefore, in this world, there are many Fleet Girls who have lost their Admirals.
For this reason, in most cases, when an Admiral leaves the Naval Base, they are accompanied by Fleet Girls to prevent any accidents. During wartime, if possible, even within the Naval Base, a Fleet Girl will always be on guard beside the Admiral. Additionally, Fleet Girls engaging in combat at sea will try to intercept the Deep Sea Fleet far from the Naval Base or lure Deep Sea Shipgirls into more distant waters. Yet despite these precautions, the Admiral Alliance still receives reports of Admirals dying in the line of duty each year, so it is not unusual for an Admiral to die unexpectedly.
For Lexington, who is accustomed to life and death, she was not surprised by Firefly's words. She simply realized some things; no wonder that during their limited interactions, Lexington's gentle smile seemed to hide something. When speaking of her husband, a hint of sorrow and resentment would occasionally flash in her eyes. When invited to teach at the academy, she politely declined. Now everything was clear; she was a widow who had lost her Admiral and felt somewhat disheartened about everything.
However, even so, Lexington did not have high hopes for Chuyang. Even most Fleet Girls who had no special relationship with their Admirals rarely followed another Admiral after theirs had died, let alone someone like Lexington who was a Wedding Ship.
But there are always exceptions; since Chuyang managed to win over Firefly, perhaps she could also capture Lexington's attention. Although the hope was slim, Lexington thought for a moment and decided to share some information she knew.
"Lexington seems to work at Tiandu Group in Rongcheng; it's a well-known industrial company along the southeastern coast and apparently she is a senior executive there," Lexington said.
She did not state this definitively because Lexington rarely talked about herself; it was just that such topics inevitably came up in conversation. As for more information, that would touch on personal privacy. And since Lexington was not one to gossip, as long as she did not bring it up herself, she would not ask further questions and thus did not know much.
"Where does Lexington Sister live?"
"I'm not sure."
But that was not a big deal; knowing which company Lexington worked for made it easy to find her. So Chuyang did not linger any longer and stood up to bid farewell with Firefly.
"Chuyang, remember what the teacher said: go with the flow and don't force anything." As Chuyang walked to the door, Lexington couldn't help but add one last piece of advice. As Fleet Girls, they often found persistent pursuits annoying; such behavior would not yield good results and could even backfire. Moreover, Lexington was an exceptionally rare Aircraft Carrier Ship Girl, and she genuinely feared that Chuyang might become overly attached to her, as it would ultimately be her student who would get hurt.
"Thank you, Teacher Lexington. I will take my leave now."
"Go ahead!"
"I hope you can succeed!" Lexington sighed lightly, her fingers gently tapping on the surface of her desk, producing a slow and rhythmic "tap, tap, tap" sound.
Deep down, Lexington truly hoped that Chuyang could pursue her because next year would be the academy's joint military exercise. To be honest, they had lost so many times already; she really wanted to experience the thrill of winning. However, the regulations for the military exercise were very strict; each academy could only send five Admirals to participate in the event, and they had to be selected from graduates of the past ten years. As for sending some powerful instructors from the academy to impersonate students as Fleet Girls, Lexington looked down upon such tactics. But if Chuyang managed to win her over, that would be entirely different. Although they had only practiced together once, Chuyang's formidable strength left a deep impression on Lexington; it could be said that she was the strongest Aircraft Carrier Ship Girl Lexington had encountered in many years. With Lexington as a trump card and full cooperation from Shen Yan's Fleet Girls, there was a chance of claiming victory.
Yet thinking about her own situation made Lexington feel disheartened. If she were in Lexington's position, she would never give Chuyang even the slightest opportunity.
"Brother Chu Yang, let's go find Lexington Sister now!" After leaving the principal's office, Firefly seemed quite eager.
"Not so fast; today we will first buy you some new clothes. Tomorrow, when you look beautiful, we will go find your Lexington Sister," Chuyang said with a smile as he ruffled Firefly's hair. He hadn't noticed before, but compared to other Fleet Girls in the academy, little Kiddo's outfit seemed a bit outdated. Of course, it wasn't that Chuyang disliked it; he cherished Firefly too much to care about her clothing! It was just that he felt a sense of nurturing towards Firefly and naturally wanted to dress her up nicely—much like those irresponsible fathers who love showing off their children on social media.
"Mm-hmm." Firefly's eyes sparkled with excitement. Perhaps even Chuyang didn't realize that this unintentional gesture significantly boosted Firefly's affection for him; if her previous affection level was 80, it was now at least 90—close to being fully affectionate.
The little girl was quite sensitive. She remembered when she was at Naval Base; initially, she had been very favored by the Admiral. However, as more older sisters joined Naval Base, Loli gradually realized she was losing favor. For a long time, it seemed like the Admiral had forgotten about her; her name rarely appeared on the operational personnel lists sent via telegram. Not only her but most Destroyers in Naval Base—even Light Cruiser and Heavy Cruiser Girls—had no opportunities for sorties. Only Aircraft Carriers like Lexington Sister or Battleships and Battlecruisers like Princess of Wales and Hood Sister received summons from the Admiral. Thus, Loli firmly believed that the Admiral only liked big ships with heavy artillery and did not care for small Destroyers like herself.
Similarly, she thought Brother Chu Yang would act like her previous Admiral; after Lexington Sister appeared, he would surely shift his attention away from her. But it seemed that things were not as she expected, which made little Kiddo very happy.
