Chuyang met Houston in the office on the first floor of the office building. The blonde girl still didn't seem to like Chuyang much and immediately switched to sarcasm mode upon seeing him.
"Richelieu is at home." Chuyang awkwardly scratched his head and introduced Prince of Wales to Houston, saying, "Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Prince of Wales."
"Wife? And this is Houston, Richelieu's little fan."
"Who is your wife?"
Even though she was already wearing the ring given by Admiral, no matter how you looked at it, she was Chuyang's Wedding Ship and also his wife. However, Prince of Wales wasn't used to Admiral suddenly being so intimate with her. Even though she had thought about it before, when Admiral held her hand and introduced her as his wife to others, Prince of Wales still felt very awkward. Yet, the slightly rebellious words she had in mind never came out; instead, she just nodded lightly at Houston as a greeting.
"Hello."
Houston also nodded in response, flicking her short bangs and bluntly said, "Chutong, enough already. Someone like you would definitely be beaten to death among ordinary humans."
Indeed! Chuyang's behavior of having one wife after another was a serious violation of universal morals. If he were among ordinary humans, he might really be beaten to death or seriously injured by his numerous brothers-in-law.
But who could blame him? His wives were all Fleet Girls, so there were no brothers-in-law at all. Moreover, for most Fleet Girls, while they might care deeply about Admiral's marriage to others, once it became a reality, they usually wouldn't do or say much about it. So in a situation with a bunch of "inept teammates," Houston could only vent her frustrations verbally.
Everything has its limits; it's understandable to show off a bit in front of this girl she didn't quite like. However, if it went too far, that wouldn't be good.
Let's not forget that Houston was the head of the Nanan County office. It would be very easy for anyone to cause trouble for him or play harmless pranks on the supplies sent to the Naval Base each month; he would definitely suffer for it. So Chuyang decided to change the topic.
"By the way, Houston, why haven't I seen Penelope?"
Compared to the short-haired and unappealing Houston, Penelope with long hair over her shoulders and glasses looked much more refined and delicate, clearly more aligned with his aesthetic and preferences.
However, it seemed he had many Penelopes in the past; back then, they were either fed to him as dog food or dismantled for resources—none were left behind.
"She went out for inspection. None of you Admirals are reliable; what’s this nonsense about lolis being justice? Clearly looking for trouble!"
Houston's words carried a hidden meaning. She remembered that this person in front of her seemed to have a Loli Complex as well and might even be more perverted. Naming his subordinates' Fleet Girls something like Andrea Doria was quite malicious; it was better to give a warning in advance.
“Chutong, just yesterday, an Admiral from a Naval Base near Ming City was taken away, personally handled by Director Nelson. It is said that if the verdict comes down, that Admiral will be locked up for at least three years. You wouldn't want that, would you?”
“Let me think, three years is quite a long time. By the time you get out, your wife might have run off with someone else.”
“Don't worry, even if all the wives in the world ran off, mine wouldn’t go with anyone else.”
Chuyang said proudly, extending his hand and gently pulling the Prince of Wales into his embrace.
The Prince of Wales, who had been sitting quietly next to Chuyang watching her Admiral joke with others, instinctively resisted when Chuyang gently held her. However, in the end, she did nothing but tense up a bit, looking extremely unnatural.
“Shameless.” Houston gritted her teeth in anger but found herself unable to do anything about Chuyang. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had to watch Richelieu fall into Chuyang’s hands.
“I have teeth, and quite a few of them.” She opened her mouth to reveal a set of neat white teeth.
“Chutong, if you came here just to show off today, then you've achieved your goal. I still have a lot of work to deal with, so please leave.”
Houston directly issued an eviction order. She feared that if the conversation continued, she would be unable to resist slapping Chuyang across the face, which would be bad for everyone involved.
After all, standing next to Chuyang was the Prince of Wales! Winning against Richelieu in vying for affection meant she must be quite strong. Given Houston's small stature, she probably wouldn’t stand a chance against her. So it was better to send them away quickly.
“There are matters, of course there are matters.”
Understanding it was time to stop, Chuyang pulled out a stack of documents from the briefcase he carried and handed them directly to Houston.
“Here, this is the report you wanted.”
“Got it. Does Chutong have any other business?” After casually flipping through a few pages and confirming there were no issues with the report, Houston issued another eviction order.
“Yes, when will the supplies rewarded to our Naval Base arrive?”
With the return of the Prince of Wales and others, the various combat supplies that had been somewhat ample at the Naval Base were clearly becoming tight. The rewards coming in would perfectly fill this gap.
“It will be soon; it should arrive before the New Year.”
"How much longer will this take? It's been over a month, and your Director Nelson was also a witness to that battle. It's just a simple review; it shouldn't take this long, right?"
"What do you know? This involves a lot more. First, the intelligence department needs to investigate, then the Combat Group has to review it, and finally, one of the Three Admirals has to sign off on it..."
"Is it really that complicated? It was just one battle. According to the process, all we need is confirmation from Nelson at the Ming City Garrison Branch, and it should be over! Why does it have to be submitted to Naval Headquarters?"
Things like this are taught at Admiral Academy, so Chuyang is not completely clueless.
In most cases, let alone having Naval Headquarters review it, there wouldn't even be a need for regional Garrison Branch reviews. The Naval Military Police Department branch at the Naval Base could make the decision.
"Is it my fault? But who told you to repel the Deep Sea Tirpitz?"
"If it were other Stray Ships or Deep Sea Shipgirls, then as you said, we wouldn't even need Director Nelson's approval. I could directly issue rewards to you."
"But that was the Pacific Deep Sea Flagship, so it requires personal review by Naval Headquarters."
Houston made it clear. With no other choice, Chuyang had to get up and leave.
However, before he and the Prince of Wales could step out of the office door, Houston chased after them.
"Chutong, I think you don't need the reward materials right now."
