“Isuzu, when will the off-road vehicle be repaired?”
Saratoga did not directly answer her sister's question but turned her head to look at Isuzu, who was quietly eating.
Since arriving at the Naval Base with them, the girl had only boldly made a few requests regarding the auto repair shop; for the most part, she seemed quite quiet, making an effort to reduce her presence, as if to say, "Feel free to ignore me."
“It will probably take another three or four days,” Isuzu said, lowering her head in shame, nearly burying her face in her ample chest.
When she initially proposed establishing the auto repair shop, Lexington had not interrupted her at all and provided everything she needed. But now, it was taking so long to repair a single vehicle, which made Isuzu feel deeply that she was letting Lexington down.
In reality, it wasn't that Isuzu lacked skill; it was simply that there were too many missing parts. Even though she had gone to the largest auto parts store in town yesterday, many parts were still unavailable. The parts ordered from the auto parts store would likely take another two days to arrive. So, calculating everything, it would take that long to fully repair the vehicle.
However, due to her personality, she found it difficult to express these thoughts.
“Then forget it; I’ll just take a boat!”
Taking a boat from Nanan County to Rongcheng could only follow the coastline. If driving overland, one could plan ahead and try to take a more direct route. Compared to the sea route, the entire journey would undoubtedly be much shorter. Therefore, Saratoga originally planned to drive to Rongcheng, but now it seemed she would have to take the sea route.
“Dear Saratoga Sister, take us with you!” Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish were still not giving up.
The two little girls had become quite wild over the years outside and were not the type to stay put.
“I want to go too.”
Firefly chimed in as well. Little Kiddo didn’t really want to run away; she just couldn’t bear to part with Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish.
Although Firefly had played well with the other human girls in town before they arrived, it was different. They were not companions from the Naval Base, and given how fragile human bodies were, Firefly always felt a bit restrained. In contrast, Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish were different; they were full of ideas and willing to take her along for fun. So Firefly wanted to join them.
"Be good and stay at the Naval Base," Lexington advised.
It was a joke; Saratoga was her younger sister. If only the Fireflies were going along, it wouldn't matter at all. The Fireflies were well-behaved and would not cause trouble during the journey. In fact, they could even remind her careless younger sister, Saratoga, at times.
But Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish were two brats. Who knew what trouble they would cause on the road? If they went along, it would just be chaos! It was better to let these two troublemakers stay at the Naval Base and make a ruckus there!
"We're not going."
The two Lolis shook their heads like rattles. What was the point of staying at the Naval Base? There was no one there and nothing fun to do.
"Be good, listen to me. Don't you want to see the Admiral as soon as possible?" Lexington gently persuaded.
Unlike ordinary brats who would comply under adult threats, Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish were unruly to the point where neither scolding nor spanking seemed to work on them.
Of course, there was a way; if she spanked them hard enough, the two Lolis would instantly turn into crying messes and become incredibly obedient. But not only did Lexington hesitate to go that far, as a Fleet Girl, she would never go against her principles.
Her cannon would only be aimed at enemies and never fired upon allies.
This was a bottom line that every Fleet Girl adhered to. No matter how poor the relationship between the two Fleet Girls at the Naval Base was, they would never cross that red line.
Hitting or scolding had no effect. As for reasoning with them or presenting facts, they could easily dismiss Fallen Cherry Blossom Divine Axe Washington's words as mere background noise, let alone heed anyone else's lectures. In desperation, Lexington had no choice but to bring up Chuyang. But honestly, she held little hope; after all, the two Lolis had never truly met the Admiral. Who knew what kind of attitude they held towards her?
Sigh! If she had known it would turn out this way, she should have learned from Helena how to manage elementary school students when she was at the Naval Base.
Lexington felt a twinge of regret. Back then, only Helena could make Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish behave. But at that time, she thought everyone would always live together and that professional matters should be left to professionals. So she never asked Helena for tips on managing these two little troublemakers.
Unfortunately, there was no remedy for regret in this world for Lexington. If even the Admiral couldn't help, she truly felt at a loss.
“Admiral, when will he come back?” Shooting Fish asked hesitantly.
“If we calculate the time, it should be in a few days.”
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Lexington felt a surge of joy and fabricated a story, saying, “Admiral often mentions that among all the submarines, his favorites are Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish. He keeps saying he wants to find you both as soon as possible.”
“Just think about it! If Admiral loves you both so much, how sad would he be if he couldn't see you right away when he returns!”
Lexington's lie was not very convincing. Back when they were playing the game, Chuyang was firmly in the battleship camp. Although submarines were rare, what couldn't be obtained was considered the most precious. So compared to the main fleet, the two lolis could only stand aside.
As for the possibility that Chuyang might not return in these few days, Lexington would end up being a deceitful parent tricking children!
But it didn’t matter; a few days' delay was still a delay!
“Lexington Sister, is what you said true? Does Admiral really miss us?” Bluefin Tuna asked skeptically. These two kiddos were quite sharp! It was hard to deceive them.
“Cousin, can you please stop interrupting?” Shooting Fish pinched Bluefin Tuna's cheek and then spoke in a mature tone, “Lexington Sister, even though I know you're lying to us, who cares? After all, he is our dear Admiral!”
This worked surprisingly well; Lexington felt somewhat incredulous. Were these really the same two mischievous brats?
What she didn’t know was that unlike the other submarines who had just arrived at the Naval Base and were neglected by Chuyang, such as Xukov, U505, and U81—whose only purpose was to show off in various chat groups without ever getting a chance to set sail—Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish had spent some time in the Secretary Ship position due to Chuyang's arrangement. This had raised their affection levels to maximum. Therefore, in their hearts, Admiral was undoubtedly an important person, even more so than going out for fun.
