The updates will now be at 1 PM and 8 PM daily. Please take note, Admiral.
Compared to the timid Aviere, the little angel Carmicia is much more mischievous. Before long, she has already become familiar with Chuyang.
Due to having sold her own Big Sister Veneto, ever since that layer of tension was broken by Chuyang, Carmicia has been hiding in Chuyang's embrace, fearing retribution from Veneto.
It's unfortunate that despite being a precocious loli, she still naively believes that with Admiral's protection, Big Sister would never dare to harm her.
Little does she know that at certain times, Veneto is someone who dares to ignore Admiral.
Fortunately, it seems that since they have only just met, Veneto is willing to give Admiral some face. She merely shot a fierce glare at the suddenly interjecting Carmicia before continuing.
"Admiral, you are mistaken. It used to be like that, but on the night when Bismarck came knocking, Prince of Wales's left eye turned gray."
"Deep Sea transformation." Chuyang exclaimed in surprise.
In this world, the process of Fleet Girls falling into the Deep Sea is gradual, often starting with a change in their eyes. Of course, not all of them fall into this category; many Fleet Girls are born with gray eyes.
In fact, the change in eye color that indicates a Fleet Girl is about to fall into a Deep Sea Shipgirl is not just any gray but a murky gray that appears dull and lifeless.
At this point, the Fleet Girls have not completely transformed into Deep Sea Shipgirls. Externally, they still appear as Fleet Girls, but internally they are filled with despair and pain, teetering on the edge of losing their sanity. This process varies in duration depending on circumstances; some may completely fall into becoming a Deep Sea Shipgirl in a very short time, while others may remain in this state for an extended period or until they sink.
Moreover, when Fleet Girls are in this state, it is not entirely irreversible. If positive news arrives, there is still a chance for recovery. For example, if a previously confirmed dead Admiral comes back to life or if a sunken companion has only been severely damaged rather than sunk. Conversely, if worse situations arise, it can accelerate this process and push the Fleet Girls into an abyss from which there is no return. For instance, if not only does the Admiral perish but also their child dies due to some accident shortly after.
After completely falling from Fleet Girls to Deep Sea Shipgirl, the color of the pupils may not necessarily remain gray; they could change to other colors. For example, Deep Sea Yamato has purple eyes, and Deep Sea Shokaku has golden eyes. However, during the process of falling from Fleet Girls to Deep Sea Shipgirl, the eye color is inevitably gray.
"That's right. Although Bismarck firmly believed you were still alive that night, no one is a fool. Given the circumstances at the time, it was not difficult to conclude that you were dead. This is why Prince of Wales showed signs of deep-sea transformation. Fortunately, aside from the change in her left eye, this phenomenon did not worsen; otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Chuyang stared directly at Veneto.
"Does the Admiral want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"The truth."
"I will personally sink Prince of Wales the moment she completely falls into a Deep Sea Shipgirl." Veneto met Chuyang's scrutinizing gaze without fear, her eyes showing no signs of evasion, her expression terrifyingly serious.
"What a ruthless heart," Richelieu tightly clenched her fists.
"Richelieu, put away your so-called mercy," Veneto said disdainfully. "Rather than letting Prince of Wales completely fall into a Deep Sea Shipgirl, struggling in despair and pain, losing her sanity in such a muddled state, it would be better to sink her directly."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Chuyang waved his hand to stop the two from continuing their argument.
Only now did he begin to understand why he felt a sense of dread towards Veneto. Unlike the emotional Lexington, Saratoga, and Richelieu, Veneto was terrifyingly rational; she knew exactly what she wanted to do and would make the most correct choice after events unfolded.
Although Chuyang knew that Veneto's choice was right, he still found it hard to accept her way of handling things, which led to some resentment towards her.
As for Veneto herself, she saw no need to explain; she was who she was—the flagship Vittorio Veneto of the Italian Royal Navy. No matter when it was, she would only do what needed to be done, even if it meant being misunderstood by the Admiral. In fact, when the Admiral could not make the correct judgment, she could help him make the most accurate decision. This is Veneto, the Big Sister of the Italian Mafia—a loli with an elder sister's heart—calm and rational in her actions, serious and strict as a Fleet Girl.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell into silence as the conversation came to an end. Carmicia snuggled closer into Chuyang's embrace, burying her small head against his chest. Aviere, who had been sitting curled up on the sofa in the corner, wore a face that looked like she was about to cry. Kayo, who had already changed clothes for the Prince of Wales and was tidying up the furniture in the living room, paused for a moment. She glanced at Chuyang and then at Veneto, opening her mouth as if to say something, but upon meeting Veneto's gaze, she obediently closed her mouth again.
The girl felt helpless; after living together for so long, she knew Veneto's personality all too well. The other person would not change their original intention for any reason and was quite stubborn.
Take the current situation as an example; it was easy to see from Admiral's somewhat dazed expression that he had developed some misunderstanding about Veneto. Yet Veneto remained nonchalant, unwilling to elaborate or clarify the misunderstanding.
Kayo wanted to say something on Veneto's behalf, but due to her own timid nature, she hesitated to speak up.
In fact, Kayo and Aviere were both weak-willed Fleet Girls. However, she was slightly stronger than Aviere; at least she could complete a sentence in front of the Admiral. But to argue on Veneto's behalf in front of him was a level of courage she had yet to reach.
She always held a sense of reverence towards this unfamiliar Admiral. Perhaps after spending more time together in the future, she would muster the courage to defend Veneto, but certainly not now.
"Admiral, Veneto is your Fleet Girl," Richelieu said, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the living room.
"Veneto, could I have a cup of coffee brewed by you?" Chuyang asked with a smile.
Indeed! Veneto was his Fleet Girl; just this fact alone was enough to explain everything.
"Aren't you afraid I might add something else to the coffee?"
"You wouldn't."
