—These days, there aren't many ship girls who still pay for their rides in cash.
"Saratoga?" Veneto looked at the two ship girls getting out of the car with some surprise.
The two of them don't seem like they'd end up together.
Saratoga raised her hand and ran a lap around the car in the sea breeze, her blond hair flowing in the wind.
“Long time no see, Veneto.” After paying, Bismarck walked over to Saratoga and nodded to Veneto.
“Long time no see, Bismarck,” Veneto replied with a smile. “You look well.”
“…Thank you.” Bismarck paused for a moment, then reached into the car and replied.
She slowly helped a human girl out of the car.
"Hello, nice to meet you." The human girl looked at Veneto and gave him a pleasant smile.
Ah, it must be the new admiral.
Veneto thought for a moment, walked up to the girl, and reached out to stop her from saying anything more.
“Hello, my name is Veneto.” Veneto said with a serious expression. “Yes, you might find it a little strange, but I am not a destroyer, yes, not.”
"I am the pride of Italy, one of the mainstays of this naval base, and a powerful ship girl. I am not a destroyer, nor a submarine, nor..."
If you encounter a new admiral, you must make things clear.
Regarding one's own physical form.
"Yes, I understand." The human girl reached out and took Veneto's hand, which was outstretched in front of her. With a gentle smile and a soft, almost singing voice, she said softly, "Miss Veneto is an outstanding battleship, isn't she?"
……
Veneto paused for a moment, then swiftly reached out his other hand and grasped the new admiral's hand.
Soulmate!
Chapter 75 Like the Sea
Little Bai smiled faintly as Veneto held her hand.
Before the car even reached the naval base, Bismarck inside had already spotted Veneto and his party.
At that time, Bismarck said to the little boy, "Remember, the little boy who looks the most like an adult standing in front of the door is Veneto."
Those who have read the information about the naval base ship girls will naturally know that Veneto is a battleship ship girl from the naval base.
It's necessary to explain this a bit.
The types of ship girls actually influence the form of their human counterparts to some extent.
For example, battleships and other large ships are usually depicted as voluptuous young women, while destroyers and submarines tend to be more childlike.
However, there are always exceptions, and occasionally some battleship girls will appear who look very young.
For example, Veneto, who is standing in front of Xiaobai.
Although it still possesses the mature thinking and temperament of an adult, from the outside, the Veneto is no different from a destroyer.
Well, Bismarck's reminder was well-intentioned, considering that being mistaken for a destroyer by the admiral might hurt Veneto's feelings.
However, by a twist of fate, Xiaobai's popularity with Veneto instantly soared to its peak.
Seeing the light in Veneto's eyes, Bismarck even felt that if Bismarck handed him a ring at that moment, Veneto would quickly accept it and put it on her finger.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xiaobai is a girl. After all, there are fewer barriers between people of the same sex.
A few seconds later, the overly enthusiastic Veneto realized his lapse in composure.
Veneto withdrew his hand, coughed, and returned to his previous serious demeanor.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Admiral, I lost my composure a bit," Veneto said.
"It's okay." Xiaobai then shifted her gaze to the four little girls behind Veneto. "Hello~"
Xiaobai is a sixteen-year-old girl, and girls of this age are very popular with destroyers.
The four destroyers quickly surrounded Xiaobai, chattering and greeting it.
"What's the admiral's name?"
"Greetings, Admiral..."
"Admiral, please remember my name is Ugorinni Vivaldi!"
"Ugh, Admiral!"
“You all need to restrain yourselves; the Admiral is very busy,” Veneto reminded him from the side.
The previous admiral was indeed quite busy, and theoretically he wouldn't have had time to talk much with the ship girls who weren't on missions.
For Veneto, being able to stand in front of the door and talk to him for even a minute was quite an achievement.
The voices of the four destroyers paused.
Their eyes revealed a pitiful look.
“It’s alright, Veneto.” Little White extended his hand and shook hands with the four destroyers, replying, “We still have some time.”
Xiao Bai does actually have a lot of time to come out and chat with the destroyers.
Anyway, the work can be finished quickly, and it doesn't seem difficult.
“Alright.” Veneto naturally assumed this was the admiral’s way of showing favoritism to a child. “Can we talk as we walk?”
“Okay.” Xiao Bai looked at Veneto and couldn’t help but smile. “Veneto is really reliable.”
“…Yes. Thank you for the compliment.” Veneto flicked her short hair, her cute little lips pouting.
—He seems quite happy.
Four destroyers, one battleship girl Bismarck, Veneto, and the aircraft carrier girl Saratoga and Shiro chatted as they walked toward the building where the admiral's office was located.
"Admiral, how are the ship girls from the naval base returning?" Veneto was a little worried that she might have returned too late.
Veneto's various issues in human society cannot be resolved in a day or two. There are workplaces, accommodations, and all sorts of interpersonal relationships. If he simply disappears, it's not something a responsible adult should do.
"If no ship girls return while I'm gone, Veneto should be among the first," Xiaobai replied.
As an admiral, I know these things.
There are currently fewer than one hundred ship girls in the naval base, but there are actually quite a few ship girls registered and recorded there. Most of them have left the naval base.
“We can’t contact most of the ship girls,” Xiaobai said. “It’s good that Veneto left her contact information, but quite a few ship girls didn’t even leave their contact information. I guess they can only come back when they want to.”
“I see.” Veneto nodded.
It seems that quite a few ship girls were affected by the admiral's passing. When Veneto left, most of the ship girls were still at the naval base, except for Akagi and Kaga, who chose to temporarily leave before Veneto because they couldn't bear to be reminded of the past.
Oh, I just remembered that Akagi was the admiral's wedding ship.
It seems that quite a few ship girls have been influenced by me and Akagi.
Veneto looked around at the garrison, which was noticeably quieter than before, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Then it's my turn to ask," Xiaobai interrupted, noticing Veneto's somewhat guilty expression. "Is that alright?"
"Yes, may I ask?"
"Miss Veneto, I remember you had white hair, how come your hair has turned black?"
“…This one?” Veneto reached out and pinched the end of her hair. “Oh, this one is dyed black. It’s okay, if you leave it alone, it will quickly turn back to its original color under the influence of the ship’s equipment.”
"...So it was dyed."
"Hmm, white is definitely better," Veneto murmured.
Her original white hair was too conspicuous, and once it was conspicuous, the chances of being caught by the police and taken to a lost children's shelter would greatly increase, which would become too troublesome in every sense. So Veneto dyed her hair black in public.
"Oh, by the way, Admiral, have you activated the Admiral Network?" Veneto asked.
During the years Veneto lived away from home, he would occasionally feel a sense of loneliness in the dead of night, and he would unconsciously think of the former admiral.
—I kind of miss the Admiral's online presence.
"Hmm," Xiaobai said, "Although I'm not very skilled yet, I can handle the basic operations."
"Then may I ask if the Admiral can link with me?" Veneto asked.
The so-called link is a kind of mark-like thing that is left in the ship girl's equipment after the admiral network and the sensory sharing is achieved.
"Okay," Xiaobai replied, stopping in her tracks and extending her hand. "Can I have your hand?"
Veneto reached out and placed his hand on Little White's hand.
Veneto glanced at Saratoga and Bismarck beside the little white man.
—These two people should have already linked up, right?
That makes sense, considering how close I am to the Admiral. He'll probably be the first to connect once he turns on the internet.
Veneto recalled the time when the former admiral linked him with someone.
It felt like a bucket of water was being poured over my head; I was quite panicked at the time.
—This time it won't be like that, after all, I, Veneto, am not the same person I was back then.
The outstanding battleship ship girl will not be swayed by such trivial matters.
"Oh right, can you put your hands on mine too?" Xiaobai suddenly said to the four somewhat expectant destroyers.
"Good, good, good!" The four destroyers clapped their little hands onto Xiaobai's other hand in unison.
Then, the next second.
Like a vast and magnificent ocean.
Like a tangible wave, it crashed down on Veneto in an instant, engulfing him before he could even react.

Chapter 76 The Perfect First Lady of the Naval Base: Lexington-chan!
The Admiral Network is essentially a physicalized flow of information.
It's an information stream filled with the admiral himself.
Gender, appearance, experience, personality—all of these are transformed into data, becoming the power of the Admiral Network.
In other words, the quantity and accuracy of information possessed by the admiral will affect the strength of the admiral network.
People like Xiaobai, who have an extraordinary advantage in memory, possess an amount of information and data that is unimaginable to most people.
She remembers the shape of every raindrop that falls when it rains, the sound of each raindrop breaking on the ground, every word she has read, the angle of every stroke, every formula she has learned, and even the way dust falls on books, the wind blowing on her body, and every tiny reaction of her body.
If other people's admiral networks are simplified versions, they are like a paper resume about an admiral.
That little white admiral's online record is like a grand movie that records more than ten years of her life without missing a second, and it's even in 1080p ultra-high definition.
These seemingly useless pieces of information have become the nourishment for the Admiral Network, building a clear and complete world.
It is precisely the power of an entire world that makes the strength of the Little White Admiral Network extraordinary and terrifying, and also extraordinary and uncontrollable.
After all, an entire world, even if it's just virtual, is still too bloated and heavy for a novice.
For a novice, this admiral network only has the option to be turned off or on. The moment it is turned on, the entire world will swarm out and rush towards the target with 100% effort.
Because of this, this power will also consume Xiaobai's energy very quickly, making her tired very fast. If she tries to force herself to activate it, it may even cause her to faint.
Veneto is now overwhelmed by this incredibly rapid flow of information.
