"Let me see, has anyone bullied you!"
"No, that's not true. The police officers were very kind to me." Xiaobai shook his head with a smile, then added, "Actually, I should have come. It was a good thing they called me here. This time, we can finally resolve the last matter and put an end to it all."
"Oh...that's good, that's good." The ship girls breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xiaobai's words. Then, their gazes turned to Commander Lin beside Xiaobai, as if they had just noticed his presence. Their hearts, which had just settled, suddenly tightened with surprise again. "Huh? Isn't this Commander Lin? What brings you here?"
"Haha..." Commander Lin felt like he had this awkward expression all day.
"Commander Lin was also called in and had his statement taken, but he's fine now," Xiao Bai explained from the side.
"Oh I got it!"
"Speaking of which, besides Hancock, there aren't any other ship girls here to greet you." Xiaobai looked at Commander Lin curiously, as if she had just remembered something. "Aren't your platoon's ship girls coming?"
"They didn't know I was being released soon," Commander Lin said awkwardly. "Everyone thought I'd be gone for several days... And I told them not to come over in a group, or they'd be in trouble if they were judged as ship girls causing trouble..."
"Ah..." Xiaobai suddenly realized.
"Hey! Let's not talk about that anymore! Admiral Lu Lin, could you come back to our mercenary group's base with me later? I'd like to treat you to a meal." Captain Lin wiped his face, took a deep breath, and said earnestly to Xiao Bai and his group, "Thank you all so much for what happened this time, no matter how you look at it. I don't have much to offer, but I do have some good food. Please allow me to treat you a little!"
"Let's eat..." Xiaobai exchanged glances with the ship girls, and they all nodded in agreement. "Okay."
Xiaobai was already thinking about where to go with the ship girls today, and if someone could treat Xiaobai to a meal, that would be the best thing ever.
Upon receiving Xiao Bai's promise, Commander Lin's face immediately lit up with an expression of honor.
Xiaobai and her group returned to the Pure White Wings Mercenary Group from the police station. As soon as they entered, they saw that the mercenary group's hall was full of ship girls gathered together, grieving and weeping.
The ship girls cried and made a scene while clutching Commander Lin's black-and-white photograph.
For a time, handkerchiefs were flying everywhere, and the loud crying continued for three days. The scene was quite shocking.
Those who knew the situation understood that Commander Lin had been summoned to the police station for questioning; those who didn't would have thought he had heroically sacrificed his life.
"Waaaaah, we survived the Fire Mercenary Group, but not the police. Our leader has finally been arrested..."
"Commander, oh commander, you're in such a terrible situation, commander..."
"Commander, you left unjustly, Commander..."
"Commander, what will we do if you die!"
"..."
As Commander Lin stood at the gate, listening to the ship girls' cries and commotion, the dark lines on his face grew deeper and deeper.
Finally, Commander Lin couldn't hold back any longer and coughed softly.
Commander Lin's cough instantly silenced the ship girls' cries. They all turned around to look at the unharmed Xiaobai and Commander Lin.
"Wow! Commander, you're back alive!!!"
The ship girls' emotions instantly reversed, from great sorrow to great joy, and they rushed forward, surrounding the group.
"Captain!"
"Why are you back so soon! Did you sneak out of the police station?!"
"Does this mean we can't stay in Kyoto anymore and will have to wander the world?"
"What are we going to do about the repair pool?!"
"..."
The ship girls chattered amongst themselves.
Commander Lin was clearly overwhelmed. He quickly reassured the ship girls and spread the word that he and the mercenary group were safe.
The ship girls were overjoyed to learn that their commander was safe and sound.
After the initial joy, it was lunchtime for the mercenary group.
After releasing their emotions, the ship girls happily ran to the cafeteria to prepare lunch.
Ship girls are like this: they are usually full of energy, pure as paper, and their emotions change extremely quickly. They are happy when they are happy and angry when they are angry. This is one of the reasons why humans often feel that they can't keep up with the pace of ship girls.
Xiao Bai and his group, along with Commander Lin, were finally able to return to their office for a short rest.
The office was still cramped and crowded. Commander Lin had to carry several stacks of documents to make room for Xiaobai and his group.
After finishing all this, Commander Lin wiped his forehead and gave Xiaobai and his group a sheepish smile.
"Haha... I'm sorry, my office is usually not very tidy, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
"It's okay, it's better to be crowded, it'll be lively." Xiaobai shook her head. Her body was pressed against the huge and voluptuous body, and on the other side she could also press against Changchun's slender waist. She could feel her delicate hips through her clothes and enjoy the intimate contact between the two married ships. She couldn't be more comfortable.
Commander Lin sat back down, wiped his sweat, and looked at Xiaobai with some emotion, then at the new female Kitchen Goddess beside Xiaobai.
Commander Lin had never seen the appearance of the goddess of the hearth directly, and naturally he had no relevant information. So when he saw the ship girl sitting next to Xiaobai, he assumed she was just an ordinary ship girl that Xiaobai had brought with her and did not ask any further questions.
But... Commander Lin secretly glanced at the hands of the female Kitchen Goddess.
The hands of the female kitchen god were clean, white and tender.
Commander Lin glanced again at Changchun and Chaodahe, who were particularly close to Xiaobai. They were both wearing silver rings that were different in style but equally elegant and dazzling.
Commander Lin was somewhat moved.
It seems this little ship girl isn't doing as well as the other two...
Chapter 3439 Hancock's Idol
The female Kitchen Goddess, who was surveying her surroundings, suddenly felt the pitying gaze of Commander Lin.
The female hearth goddess subconsciously followed the gaze, and couldn't help but frown, her expression puzzled.
Ok?
Why is this person suddenly looking at me?
Did he recognize me?
its not right……
If they really knew who I was, they shouldn't be looking at me like that, right?
As the female kitchen god pondered, she suddenly felt a surge of resentment, as if she had been looked down upon. So she quickly puffed out her chest and glared back at Commander Lin.
What are you looking at!
Commander Lin, who had been glared at, quickly looked away and gave an embarrassed smile.
"Speaking of which, Admiral Lu Lin, how have you been getting along with Hancock these past few days?" Commander Lin asked Xiao Bai, seemingly changing the subject.
"Hancock?"
Everyone's eyes instinctively shifted to Hancock.
"Although Miss Hancock looks quite serious, she's actually very easy to get along with." Xiaobai smiled and said to Commander Lin, "Oh, by the way, I had my ship girl at home check Hancock's ship equipment yesterday. Guess what? According to our inspection results, Hancock's ship equipment grade is quite high."
Yesterday, Shiro witnessed everything that happened as Yubari and the goddess of the hearth inspected Hancock.
Although Shiro didn't specifically ask Yubari about the results of her examination, judging from Yubari's reaction alone, Shiro could clearly recognize that Hancock was no ordinary ship girl.
After all, there aren't many ship rigs in this world that can truly amaze Yubari...
Hancock's ship equipment level is probably among the top in the entire military ship girl community.
Upon hearing Xiaobai's evaluation, Commander Lin immediately revealed a proud expression.
"Haha, yes, Admiral Lu Lin truly has a good eye!" Captain Lin immediately became interested and began to talk incessantly to Xiao Bai, "Admiral Lu Lin, you may not know this, but Hancock only joined our mercenary group in the last year or two. When she first joined, she was just a novice ship girl with absolutely no combat experience. But in just one or two years, she has grown from a novice ship girl who knows almost nothing into a top-tier ship girl who can carry the team on her own at an astonishing speed! Now, no ship girl in our Pure White Wings Mercenary Group can beat her! Don't you think that's top-tier talent among ship girls!"
"So you've only been in the mercenary group for less than two years?" Xiaobai looked at Hancock with some surprise.
"..." Hancock nodded silently, "Hmm..."
"Why didn't you tell me about something this amazing sooner?" Xiaobai asked.
"...I was going to say something, but..." Hancock hesitated.
"what happened?"
“But your braised pork rice is here.” Hancock thought for a moment, then honestly said.
"……"noob.
Oh……
Xiao Bai remembered.
Last night, when she was chatting with Hancock at the food stall, it seemed like they were about to talk about her qualifications, but just as Xiaobai was about to pry, the food Xiaobai ordered was served, so Xiaobai was busy eating and didn't continue asking.
Ok.
Next time, Xiaobai will think of asking questions while eating.
"In the past few hundred years, there will probably only be one Hancock in the civilian ship girl community." Captain Lin sighed to Xiaobai. "With such talent and such rapid progress, she was already a household name about a year after she joined our mercenary group. Later, the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group went to great lengths to target us and wanted Hancock to join them. Besides being wary of the growth of our Pure White Wings, they were also envious of the existence of such a ship girl."
“Indeed.” Xiaobai nodded upon hearing this. “The leader of the Li Huo Mercenary Group really wants Hancock. I noticed his shifty-looking eyes before.”
"..." Commander Lin smiled, then his expression suddenly became complicated. He sighed and looked down. "Well... on the other hand, it's both a good thing and a bad thing that Hancock possesses such a powerful ship girl talent."
"What's wrong?" Xiaobai tilted her head.
"In the end, we're just in the amateur ship girl community," Commander Lin said regretfully to Xiaobai, then suddenly asked, "Admiral Lu Lin, in your opinion, what level of ship girl would Hancock be considered in terms of her raw strength?"
"Hancock?" Xiaobai glanced at Hancock subconsciously and replied, "Hmm... I feel that with her current strength, she's probably among the strongest ship girls in Chapter 5."
"Chapter 5..." Commander Lin murmured to himself. He stared into Xiaobai's eyes and asked seriously, "Admiral Lu Lin, where do you think Hancock's ship girl talent ranks among the ship girls you've seen?"
"..." Xiaobai lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Commander Lin, "I'm not so sure about that, but if her strength has improved to this level in just two years... then she's probably at the level of a top-tier ship girl in Chapter 8?"
"As expected." Upon hearing this, Commander Lin smiled with relief. "So, Admiral Lu Lin, you also admit that Hancock's talent is among the top of the top ship girls, even in the military ship girl circle, right?"
"Indeed." Xiaobai nodded sincerely.
"But in our civilian ship girl community... as Admiral Lu Lin knows, we have far fewer resources, equipment, and training opportunities compared to real military ship girls." Commander Lin sighed, a look of regret on his face. "For a ship girl as gifted as Hancock to stay in our civilian ship girl community, every month, every day, or even every minute is a tremendous waste of her talent."
"...Commander..." Hancock seemed to have sensed something in Commander Lin's words, and she called out to him.
Commander Lin waved his hand, signaling Hancock to be quiet.
"As the leader of a mercenary group, having a powerful ship girl in our team should be a happy thing," Leader Lin said, sighing. "But when this powerful ship girl also possesses unparalleled talent, this happiness turns into torment and heartache... Admiral Lu Lin, I really can't bear to see her continue to waste her talent like this."
"Oh... I understand." Xiao Bai finally understood what Commander Lin meant after listening to his words.
Not only did Xiaobai understand, but the ship girls beside her also showed an expression of "Ah, they really came after all." Then, everyone looked at Hancock with a half-smile.
That is to say, Yubari is still working at the Ship Equipment Research Center.
If she were there, she might have jumped up and set off firecrackers.
"Commander Lin, I remember you said before... that the ship girls of the Pure White Wings Mercenary Group would become members of Miss Yueyue's naval base after she finishes her studies as an admiral." Xiaobai asked curiously, "Isn't it a waste of talent? Won't that be solved after Miss Yueyue finishes her studies and becomes an admiral?"
"My daughter still has more than two years left in her studies as an admiral," Commander Lin said. "Who knows what things will be like in two years?"
After Commander Lin finished speaking, the office was quiet for a moment.
Hancock stood there, head slightly bowed, as still as a statue.
Xiao Bai and Commander Lin suddenly fell silent, as if their conversation had been abruptly interrupted.
In the midst of this awkward atmosphere, a joyous gong-banging sound suddenly rang out outside the office door.
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!!!"
The cheers of the ship girls from Pure White Wings rushed into the office as if they were real.
Upon hearing the sound of dinner being served, the ship girls behind Xiaobai quickly helped each other up, and then pulled Hancock along with them.
"Oh dear! Dinner's ready!"
"Sister Hancock, how about we go eat first!"
"Hancock, come here, let's go to the cafeteria first!"
The ship girls pulled and tugged at each other, and quickly ran out of the office.
"Admiral, we're going to the cafeteria to grab seats!" the ship girls said to Shiro with smiles before leaving the office.
Xiaobai raised her hand and waved slightly to the ship girls, watching them leave the office. The office door closed tightly.
Now only Xiaobai and Commander Lin are left in the office.
Commander Lin coughed awkwardly and gave Xiaobai an embarrassed smile.
"I'm sorry, Admiral Lu Lin, what I was just talking about... doesn't seem to be anything to be happy about."
“I’m fine.” Xiaobai shook her head and looked at Commander Lin. “But Hancock doesn’t seem happy.”
