"Excuse me, is this Naval Base 197?"
"Yes, sister, who are you looking for?" Firefly looked up curiously at the woman in front of her, who had long white hair down to her waist, a tall figure, and was dressed in a white casual outfit. Behind her were a young man in a white Admiralty uniform and a middle-aged man in a black suit.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Maternal Radiance, formerly known as HMS Glory."
Maternal Radiance wore a gentle smile, her demeanor warm and gracious, similar to Lexington, both possessing a wife-like quality.
"This is my Admiral, Yu Xuan, and this is my Uncle, Construction."
"Radiant Sister, hello, my name is Firefly."
Firefly beamed at Maternal Radiance. As part of the Royal Navy, the Loli instinctively felt a sense of closeness to Maternal Radiance.
Of course, as a polite child, the Loli would not ignore the other two visitors.
"Hello, Uncle Yu Xuan, hello, Uncle Construction."
"Uncle..." Yu Xuan's face twitched. Although he was nearing thirty, being called "uncle" by a little girl who looked only seven or eight made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. Moreover, the Loli had referred to his wife as "sister," which made the obvious disparity in treatment feel rather awkward.
The most frustrated was Construction; he wasn't even fifty yet and looked no older than forty due to good maintenance. Hearing himself being called "grandpa" by the Loli was understandably disheartening.
"Radiant Sister, do you have something to discuss?"
"Well, we are here to visit your Admiral."
Although it was said that their true intention in coming to find Saratoga was for the exercise, it would be inappropriate to be so direct on a first visit, even if they were "unwelcome guests." They could wait until they met the Admiral of the Naval Base, and then he could propose the exercise request, which would not seem abrupt. Generally, Admirals would not refuse such invitations for exercises.
"Radiant Sister, you chose a bad time to come; the Admiral has gone to Europe to find Tirpitz Sister and doesn't know when he will return."
"Your Admiral isn't here?" The one who spoke was Yu Xuan. A flash of disappointment crossed his face, quickly replaced by ease.
To be honest, Yu Xuan did not want to come here, but out of respect for his Uncle, he had no choice. Now that the Admiral of the Naval Base was absent, he felt justified in his reluctance.
"Sorry for the disturbance; we'll visit another day."
Due to the presence of Fleet Girls at the Naval Base, male Admirals generally avoided visiting when the opposing Admiral was not present to avoid any awkwardness.
However, before Yu Xuan could turn around, his Uncle Yuan Jiancheng stopped him.
"A-Hua, didn't we agree on this? Even if the Admiral of this Naval Base is not here, as long as that Fleet Girl named Saratoga is present, it's fine. Are you having second thoughts?"
"Uncle, it's not what you think. Let me put it this way: since the Admiral is not here, it's inconvenient for us as men to go in."
"What does that have to do with anything? Don't you see what kind of society we live in now? Do you still hold onto such feudal ideas in your Admiral circle? We're here to find that Fleet Girl named Saratoga for an exercise; it's not like we're up to anything shameful. There's no need to avoid suspicion."
Having finally persuaded his nephew to come with him to this Naval Base for a venue, Construction was not about to give up easily.
"But Uncle, I understand."
Yu Xuan sighed helplessly and turned towards the fireflies.
Just as his Uncle said, this was no longer ancient society; there were no such rigid rules of propriety.
Although it is indeed a bit inconvenient to visit the other party's Naval Base when their Admiral is not present, if there is a matter to discuss, it must be addressed regardless.
The reason he said that was largely because he didn't want to go in and suffer, fearing he might get burned.
MD, why would a perfectly good European White Monkey not stay in the talent-rich Southeast War Zone but come to this desolate Southwest Theater? Is it looking for a sense of superiority? Damn bad taste.
But he knew very well what kind of person his Uncle was. If he didn't let his Uncle vent today, who knows what kind of trouble would arise in the future? So even if there were no conditions, he had to create them!
"Firefly, can you take us to meet your Naval Base's Secretary Ship? I have important matters to discuss."
"Oh, sure, follow me."
Yu Xuan had been to Naval Base 197 once before, so he was not surprised by its vastness.
Under Firefly's guidance, the group entered Naval Base 197.
"…That person over there sweeping the floor is Sister Isuzu…" Firefly introduced the Fleet Girls of the Naval Base to Yu Xuan and the others as they walked.
The Naval Base had also hosted Admirals from several nearby Naval Bases, so Firefly was already familiar with how to receive visiting guests.
"Ordinary."
Looking at the green-haired girl in the corner sweeping fallen leaves, Yu Xuan internally gave that evaluation.
And indeed, for Yu Xuan, who first encountered ships as Maternal Radiance, Isuzu, a Light Cruiser, was quite ordinary.
"…That one sitting on the swing is Sister Andrea Doria…"
"Loli, it should be Destroyer! Quite ordinary. Hmm! Andrea Doria, Loli Battleship, damn European."
Although Yu Xuan was already well aware of the Fleet Girls at the 197th Naval Base, when he saw the golden-haired Loli sitting on a swing, her long ponytails swaying with the motion, he couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and jealousy.
This was simply because aside from Maternal Radiance, he had no other impressive Fleet Girls to show off.
"...That's Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish..."
"......" The expression on Yu Xuan's face was one of despair.
Fish, and two of them at that. In such a short time, the 197th Naval Base had gained two more Submarine Shipgirls. Yu Xuan didn't want to make any further comments; he just wanted to quickly finish the drill and leave this Naval Base that seemed like it should only exist on Mars.
...
"Sis, if you ask me, they have ulterior motives." Saratoga said indignantly.
"Even if they do, they're still guests. Be polite for now." Lexington shot a glare at her sister.
Although Lexington wasn't afraid of trouble, after yesterday's events, she had inquired about the background of the other party through the stationed 196th Naval Base in Nan'an County City. So when Firefly came to report to her, both Lexington and Saratoga had roughly guessed the purpose of their visit.
"Let's go meet them."
