"I didn't bring her here."
"Oh, you registered her." Ye Zhengyang smiled knowingly. As a good friend, he was well aware of Chuyang's situation. Dreaming of having Fleet Girls, he must have rushed to the Organization Department to register Firefly the moment he got the chance.
"No."
"What are you up to?" Ye Zhengyang was startled. He turned to look at Chuyang in confusion. Before graduation, the academy would conduct another count of the Fleet Girls under these prospective Admirals to allocate Naval Bases accordingly. Of course, if the number of Fleet Girls remained unchanged, there would be no need for a recount; they just needed to confirm the specific numbers and types of Fleet Girls with the Organization Department, ensuring there were no omissions or errors. For instance, Ye Zhengyang had already submitted all the information about his Fleet Girls during his last free construction session at the Shipyard near the Naval Base, so his visit to the Organization Department was merely a formality—no need for re-registration. Chuyang was different; he had not had any Fleet Girls before, so the Organization Department's records still reflected that. The crucial point was that for first-time registration of Fleet Girls, both the Admiral and the Fleet Girls had to be present for confirmation; otherwise, no matter how eloquently the Admiral spoke, it wouldn't count without the Fleet Girls being there.
Chuyang wasn't like him; it didn't matter whether he brought a Fleet Girl today or not. If Firefly didn't show up at the Organization Department's registration office before the final deadline, it would mean Chuyang lost his chance to become a formal Admiral.
Of course, this didn't mean Chuyang could never become an Admiral in the future. If he wanted to, after graduating from the academy, he could apply to become a formal Admiral through the Admiral Alliance or Naval Headquarters. However, this process required a lot of documentation and would be quite troublesome. Additionally, regarding allocation at Naval Bases, non-academy Admirals had limited options compared to graduates. So while this registration wouldn't directly negate Chuyang's future as an Admiral, it was still very important.
"I'm not doing anything! I just don't want to be an Admiral," Chuyang replied directly. At this point, he felt somewhat relieved; as they say, indecision leads to chaos. Since he had made his decision, there was no need to drag it out or dwell on unnecessary thoughts—looking forward was what mattered.
"You better think this through." When Chuyang didn't have any Fleet Girls before, his outcome seemed predetermined. But now that there was a chance for change, why let it slip away? Ye Zhengyang truly couldn't understand Chuyang's reasoning. As for Chuyang not having signed a contract with Firefly yet—that wasn't an issue; if neither of them mentioned it, how could the Organization Department staff know? Besides, since Firefly had already agreed to be with an Admiral, barring any major incidents, that matter was practically settled. So when staff confirmed with the Fleet Girls, they wouldn't scrutinize whether a contract had been signed too closely.
"Yeah, I've thought it through. I'm not like you; you have so many Fleet Girls and Akagi overseeing everything for you. As long as you're not assigned to those Forward Bases far from land, whether it's at Nearshore Naval Bases or coastal Naval Bases, you won't face too many problems. But me! You know my situation well; there's a high chance Firefly will be my only Fleet Girl. Once I become a formal Admiral, I'll definitely be assigned to a coastal Naval Base where Firefly will have to escort passing ships. But little Kiddo is just a Destroyer Girl; I can't help but worry about sending her out alone for escort duty. Rather than risk that, I'd prefer to give up becoming an Admiral and find a stable job so I can live happily with little Kiddo for the rest of my life."
"That's true."
The Naval Academy trains both Fleet Girls and Admirals—not for creating cannon fodder—so when it comes to allocation at Naval Bases, they consider various factors very carefully. Those who lack sufficient strength won't even be allowed to go to Forward Bases; similarly, capable Admirals are mostly assigned to Nearshore Naval Bases or Forward Bases.
"Just, Chuyang, aren't you being a bit overly worried?"
"I'm different from you; I can't afford to take that risk." Chuyang waved his hand helplessly. The coastal Naval Base is very safe, but just one accident could lead to consequences that Chuyang cannot bear. This isn't a game; Fleet Girls cannot respawn after being sunk, and there's no way to reload a save file. How could he tolerate something happening to such a cute Loli like Firefly? Even if it's just a possibility, it must be nipped in the bud.
"Alright then."
Missing this opportunity doesn't mean he can never become an Admiral. Besides, everyone has their own life plans for the future; not everyone has to walk the path of an Admiral. So Ye Zhengyang decided not to persuade Chuyang any further and changed the subject, saying, "You know our senior, Bald Qiang, right?"
"Yeah." Chuyang nodded. That's obvious! He was the one who gave that senior the nickname "Bald Qiang."
"Bald Qiang", whose real name is Li Qiang, graduated from the Rongcheng Naval Academy in the 16th cohort. Due to his natural baldness and somewhat silly personality, Chuyang occasionally teased him with that nickname behind his back. But he forgot about Ye Zhengyang, who has a big mouth and quickly spread the nickname around. Because of this, Bald Qiang had once blushed in front of Chuyang, so how could he not know?
"What happened to Bald Qiang?"
"What else could it be? He got caught by the Gendarmerie!"
"He didn't really marry a Destroyer, did he?" Chuyang asked with a strange expression. Even without the nickname given by Chuyang, Bald Qiang was already a prominent figure at the Rongcheng Naval Academy. After all, he was a thoroughgoing Loli Complex, often using lollipops to entice Destroyers. Back in school, he frequently shouted about wanting to marry a Destroyer, so it wasn't surprising that he got caught.
"Not only did he marry a Destroyer, but he also held a grand wedding and invited many nearby Admirals from other Naval Bases. I happened to be there and saw him being taken away from the wedding venue." Ye Zhengyang said excitedly.
".........." Now, Chuyang was truly speechless. Giving a ring to a Destroyer isn't such a big deal; many Admirals have done it. However, they usually do it secretly, while it's the first time someone like Bald Qiang made it known to everyone...
