The Third Banquet Hall is large, with a magnificent circular dome adorned with opulent decorations. Beneath it hang numerous round crystal chandeliers that emit bright light, making the entire banquet hall as bright as day.
The floor is covered with a thick red carpet, and dozens of long Western-style dining tables are neatly arranged throughout the hall. On the pristine white tablecloths, a variety of delicacies and fruits are displayed. Lobster, abalone, sea cucumber, scallops... an array of seafood is present. Steak, roasted duck, whole roasted lamb, bear paw, truffles... all kinds of mountain delicacies are available. The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the champagne tower, which stands about two meters tall and is shaped like a pyramid made of countless goblets. At this moment, the glasses are empty, but under the illumination of the lights, the entire champagne tower radiates countless dazzling and brilliant glimmers.
When Lexington walks into the banquet hall with Chuyang on her arm, followed by Firefly and Andrea Doria, most of the graduates from the 17th class of Rongcheng Naval Academy have already arrived. They are gathered in small groups chatting with familiar classmates.
Originally, Chuyang's arrival would not have stirred much excitement. Previously, he stood out among the graduates due to his lack of Fleet Girls. However, after acquiring Firefly, he has blended in with the crowd.
It is just that Lexington beside Chuyang is too dazzling. Even those who initially did not notice her turned their heads to look upon being prompted by their companions.
This is not because they recognized Lexington's identity or because Yun Fan had informed everyone in advance. As the first unfortunate soul to approach Chuyang only to be overshadowed by him, Yun Fan is still in shock and sitting alone in a corner being comforted by Kaohsiung.
The reason for this reaction is simply that Lexington is a mature and beautiful Elder Sister. As mentioned earlier, the 17th class graduates of Rongcheng Naval Academy are relatively inexperienced; aside from a few who have built Heavy Cruiser Girls, most only have Destroyer Girls. Thus, the banquet hall is filled with various mischievous elementary school students. When a figure that appears more mature and beautiful than those Heavy Cruiser Girls enters the hall—an Elder Sister with an exceptionally elegant demeanor—how could she not attract everyone's attention?
However, most people here do not know Chuyang well enough to dare approach him directly.
Nevertheless, as Chuyang's good buddy, Ye Zhengyang does not care about such things! He first rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm he wasn't mistaken before charging over with a loud wail.
"Chuyang! You heartless beast! Are we still good buddies? How can you stab your brother in the back like this... forgetting loyalty for beauty and shamelessly..." Ye Zhengyang immediately began to rant but failed to mention Lexington's name after all his shouting, leaving those eagerly waiting to learn her identity feeling extremely frustrated.
"Stop right there! This lady is your sister-in-law; I don't think I need to say more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhengyang, who had originally planned to continue, obediently stopped, faced Lexington, stood at attention, and saluted, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law."
As the saying goes, one should not deceive a friend's wife. Since Chuyang had introduced her this way, Ye Zhengyang understood that Lexington had already been taken by Chuyang. He needed to completely let go of any unrealistic fantasies he had harbored about Lexington.
"Hello," Lexington replied with a smile and a nod. Looking back now, she found it somewhat amusing that this guy had dared to pursue her in front of Admiral. If she hadn't recognized Admiral at that time, and if this guy hadn't backed off too much, there was a good chance she would have resorted to physical confrontation to avoid any misunderstandings with Admiral. However, thanks to him, she might not have noticed the Firefly otherwise, which would have led to many subsequent events not happening. She would have missed out on Admiral, and perhaps this missed opportunity would mean a permanent loss of Admiral. Therefore, Lexington was quite grateful to Ye Zhengyang.
"Sister-in-law?"
Well! It was now basically confirmed that this Elder Sister was indeed Chuyang's Fleet Girl, and a Wedding Ship at that. But what was her name? Was she a Battleship, a battlecruiser, an Aircraft Carrier, or perhaps like the older version of the Blizzard in the academy, a grown-up Destroyer Girl? This was the focus of everyone's attention. Yet, Ye Zhengyang kept his mouth shut about Lexington's identity, which infuriated the brothers in the banquet hall. But they were helpless; the only person familiar with Chuyang here was Ye Zhengyang. They could see the two brothers chatting happily! It wouldn't be appropriate for them to interrupt and ask questions! So they were left feeling curious and restless.
There was no way around it; meeting unfamiliar Fleet Girls always made one want to know their identities. This had almost become a common trait among every Admiral. Of course, this referred specifically to the Elder Sister-Class Shipgirl, while the little ones were excluded from this category.
"Akagi, bring the little ones over; I want to introduce you to an amazing big sister. In the future, if you encounter any troublesome Deep Sea Shipgirls during your expeditions outside, just look for her; she will definitely help you out." Naturally, Ye Zhengyang was unaware of what his classmates were thinking; he was currently busy introducing his own Fleet Girls to each other and getting acquainted with Lexington. As for Firefly, they had already met on graduation day; he would deal with the rest later.
When Ye Zhengyang called out loudly for his subordinate Fleet Girls, everyone in the banquet hall naturally heard him, which only intensified their curiosity. Anyone stronger than the Heavy Cruiser Kago must be a big ship; they just didn't know how big it would be.
It's worth noting that although most people here were remnants of the past from Africa and couldn't even get their hands on a single Heavy Cruiser, let alone anything above that level, they still acted as if they were above everyone else. During casual conversations, they would never discuss someone like the rural girl-type Battleship like Ise, or an ordinary coal-carrying type like Lexington. Instead, their discussions would focus solely on those certified by the likes of Oti. When it came to aircraft carriers, they only mentioned companies like Enterprise, Essex, Lexington, Saratoga, Akagi, and Kaga—these six names. The topic of battleships would always revolve around Lion, Missouri, Tirpitz, Bismarck, and a few others; even discussing Nelson and Rodney was beneath them. As for battlecruisers? There were hardly any mentions apart from Hood and Reputation. Thus, if Lexington were just an ordinary type of Aircraft Carrier Ship Girl, their reactions would likely be along these lines: inwardly cursing Lieutenant General Chuyang while outwardly pretending not to care.
"Hello big sister! My name is Akagi. What is your name?"
