Under the blue sky and white clouds, a small Freighter slowly sailed across the azure sea, heading directly towards Naval Base 197.
On the deck of the Freighter, there were no crew members or Sailors to be seen, only two young girls standing in the cockpit at the bow. The slightly taller one with short golden hair operating the helm was Heavy Cruiser Girl Houston, while Light Cruiser Ship Girl Penelope, wearing glasses and a denim overall dress, stood beside her. They were both in charge of the Naval Headquarters office in Nanan County.
The Cinnamon Osmanthus Mountain Range adjacent to Naval Base 197 stretched over 20 kilometers along the coastline and rose no more than two or three hundred meters high. Nan'an County City lay at the foot of the eastern end of Dan Gui Mountain, making it the closest county city to Naval Base 197. Therefore, Chuyang's luggage sent through a logistics company was delivered to the Naval Headquarters office in Nan'an County City.
Yesterday, when Chuyang and his companions went to pick up their luggage, they were received by these two Fleet Girls, who were the only ones present at the office. Today, they came to Naval Base 197 to deliver Chuyang's first month's supply of provisions, as well as the salary issued by the government and activity funds for the Naval Base.
"The last time I was here was about half a year ago! I remember Admiral hadn't been transferred yet, and now Chutong has already taken office. Time really flies!" Penelope exclaimed as she gazed at the massive Naval Base at the foot of the mountain.
"What Chutong? I think it's more like Chu Pervert," Houston scoffed.
There was no helping it; after all, Chuyang had hugged a firefly in front of everyone yesterday and even kissed it on Loli's face.
As Houston was responsible for the Nanan County office, she also had duties related to the Gendarmerie. Naturally, she had no good feelings towards a perverted Admiral like Chuyang who acted so inappropriately with a loli.
It could be said that because of Chuyang's intimate actions with the firefly yesterday, he had already been noted down by Houston and became a target for special attention from the Gendarmerie.
"Well, Houston, Chutong and the firefly were just engaging in normal affectionate behavior; it shouldn't be as you say!"
"Penelope, you've been here too short a time," Houston replied in an educating tone. "The night gave us black eyes..."
"Houston, it seems like our eye colors aren't black," Penelope weakly reminded.
"Don't interrupt. It's all pretty much the same meaning. The night has given us bright eyes to seek out the light. So, you mustn't be deceived by appearances; you need to peel away the layers of fog to explore the essence of truth."
"But, Houston, I always feel that Chutong isn't that kind of person. Besides, their actions seem quite normal! Isn't that how human parents interact with their children?"
"Humans are humans, but are fireflies normal human children? So we can't use that standard to measure Admiral and Young Girl Shipgirl. By the way, you just joined Naval Headquarters not long ago, so you probably haven't heard about this."
"Heard about what?" Penelope asked curiously.
"It's like this: you know Four Nations Island, right? Not long ago, our colleagues stationed in Akihabara City seized a large number of adult comics from a warehouse at the port. I think it was called something like 'Demon' or something."
"But what does this have to do with Chutong?"
"Don't rush me; let me finish. According to our colleagues over there, that comic tells a story about a beastly father doing something inappropriate with his daughter. And listen, at the very beginning yesterday, the firefly didn't call Chuyang; it called him 'dad.' So who knows if that comic has made its way to Asia and if Chu pervert has seen it too? We can't rule out that he might have those kinds of thoughts. Therefore, we need to prioritize Naval Base 197 as a focus for monitoring."
".........." Penelope was speechless. Houston seemed to make a lot of sense, and she found herself at a loss for words.
As the freighter gradually approached, a massive Naval Base built on the seaside cliff came clearly into view for Houston and Penelope.
The drop from the cliff to the sea level was about ten meters high, and the outer layer of the cliff was all coated with cement, making it exceptionally smooth. Below the cliff was a beautiful beach covered with golden fine sand.
A long concrete staircase extended down from the southern gate of the Naval Base, connecting the base on the cliff with the beach below. The dock of the Naval Base was built on the eastern side of this beach; it was a long pier made of reinforced concrete that sloped down from north to south. One end connected to a small door at the southeast corner of the Naval Base while the other extended straight out into the sea.
With a long whistle sounding, the small Freighter piloted by Houston and Penelope slowly docked at the pier.
"Sister Houston, Sister Penelope, why are you here?" As soon as Houston and Penelope disembarked, they were greeted by Firefly's sweet smile.
Compared to Andrea Doria, who merely nodded in acknowledgment with a proud look, Firefly appeared much cuter. Thus, Houston habitually took out a lollipop from her denim skirt pocket and handed it to Firefly.
There was no helping it; most of the Fleet Girls at the Naval Base in her area were Loli Destroyers. Every time she went to any Naval Base for official duties, she would casually stash some lollipops in her pocket to pacify these sometimes very annoying Lolis, allowing her to quickly handle her tasks.
"Firefly, were you and Andrea Doria waiting here for us?" Penelope gently pinched Firefly's little cheek. Unlike Houston, who found the Lolis bothersome and preferred to keep them at bay with lollipops, Penelope genuinely liked the Lolis.
"No, I was playing with Sister Airi," Firefly said, pointing to a flatbed cart lying between two railway tracks beneath her feet.
The Admiral who originally built this Naval Base was indeed wealthy; to facilitate loading and unloading goods at the dock, he not only constructed a gantry crane on the long pier but also laid down two railway tracks with a five-meter-long iron flatbed cart on top for transporting large items like containers.
"Where's your Admiral?" Houston was never one to waste time with Lolis and got straight to the point.
"Brother Chu Yang is at Haitang Bay Town. He's with Sister Richelieu and hasn't returned yet," Firefly replied with a hint of disappointment; it seemed that the Admiral still preferred the big ships and cannons.
"What did you say? Richelieu?" Houston looked at Firefly in surprise. As the person in charge stationed here by Naval Headquarters, how could she not know about Richelieu at Haitang Bay Town? In fact, since Richelieu arrived here, Houston had asked for her help more than once or twice. It was precisely because of this that she was surprised that Richelieu, who usually showed no interest in anyone, would be involved with Chu Yang.
