Bismarck blinked, looking at Wisconsin who was instantly aroused, and lowered her head to look at the hand she extended to her.
Three seconds slowly passed.
Bismarck was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on, and she reached out and shook hands with Wisconsin.
Bismarck and Wisconsin stared at each other.
Seeing Wisconsin's wild smile, Bismarck's expression softened considerably.
--Um.
—It seems she acknowledged that I'm awesome.
written request for leave
Public holidays offer no benefit to those who serialize novels online.
Because the writers who serialized the novels didn't take a break.
Then, the relatives who were interfering with the pigeons' writing all went on vacation.
So I'm currently being urged by relatives to go to the other side of the city for a family barbecue or something, so I won't be able to update today.
If only there were 48 hours in a day...
Chapter 1128 Cat Ears: Adding a New Stage of Cuteness
Because the ship girls needed to personally arrive at the sea area to sweep away the terrifyingly large number of Abyssal Lords in that area, Xiaobai basically didn't hide any information about that sea area from the ship girls, and told them the general situation of the sea area.
Of course, since the word "basic" is used, it naturally means that there are exceptions.
Because it was impossible to explain to the ship girls why she was qualified to enter the mysterious sea area while others were not, without revealing the existence of the deep-sea will within her body, Xiaobai did not mention to the ship girls that there were any conditions for guiding them to this sea area.
Xiao Bai's thinking was very simple.
In any case, whether we talk about the outcome or not, our ship girls will eventually need Wisconsin to lead the way. Rather than making up a lie to deceive them, it's better to skip the topic altogether, set Wisconsin as the secondary flagship, and directly fulfill the guiding condition.
Anyway, Wisconsin's fighting strength is not low.
I'll give her a special treatment and let her have some fun as the secondary flagship for a while. With the experienced and seasoned Bismarck by her side, even if she's a new ship girl, she won't cause too much trouble.
If only Bismarck were here.
With Bismarck around, I felt at ease.
Even if Wisconsin fails in her duties as second-in-command, Bismarck will help her resolve all problems. The two of them will definitely get along well.
Ah!
This is it.
So after making this decision, Xiaobai felt that he was really smart.
And he was smug for a few short seconds.
However, the charm of the real world lies in the fact that sometimes things happen in a completely illogical way.
Due to the incompleteness of the information one possesses, the outcome of an event that one anticipates may very well take an unexpected and dramatic turn.
For example, Xiaobai was completely unprepared.
Bismarck, who had always been as steady as a mountain, was shaken simply because he had suddenly given Wisconsin the position of a secondary flagship. This sparked his competitive spirit, and he put on a show of strength in front of Wisconsin.
And, little White hadn't anticipated that Wisconsin, who had always behaved impeccably like her sister in most matters, was actually just a very sensitive young woman of marriageable age. Bismarck's simple act of trying to demonstrate his strength in front of her was, to Wisconsin, more like a challenge that had been thrown at her chest with a white glove.
On the sea surface that Bismarck had quickly cleared.
The two teams, having just shaken hands, returned to their respective flagship and secondary flagship positions.
Bismarck had just returned to the flagship when Akagi, who had been watching with a beaming smile, walked over, covering her mouth.
“Bismarck.” Looking at Bismarck’s face, which was inexplicably more and more adorable the more she looked at it, Akagi suppressed the smile that came from the contrast in her heart. She maintained this posture in front of Bismarck for a long time, and finally managed to put on a serious expression with the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Here," Bismarck replied, her gaze falling on Akagi.
“Bismarck, what you just did was a serious violation of discipline, you know?” Akagi reminded him.
“…?” Bismarck tilted her head, pondering for a moment with some confusion. Only after a few seconds did a belated look of realization flash across her wine-red pupils. “…Ah.”
When Bismarck rushed out, she had no idea that her actions would be considered a violation of discipline.
Of course, if it were the old Bismarck, she would at least consult Akagi before charging out, and the two flagships would act only after reaching a consensus.
This time, because of an inexplicable desire to prove her strength, Bismarck even forgot to follow the procedures and, as the flagship, directly abandoned her companions and went straight into battle.
This is a grave mistake.
After letting out a soft "Ah," Bismarck realized his mistake.
I made a mistake.
It caused trouble for his companions.
Xiaobai is angry.
The flagship is gone.
It’s over.
Life has lost its motivation.
"sorry."
After a rapid cycle through his mind, Bismarck's gaze dimmed instantly, like a candle flame going out.
"Ah... Bismarck, don't be discouraged." Akagi, seeing the change in Bismarck's emotions, roughly understood her thoughts. She quickly reached out and patted Bismarck's shoulder, smiling at her, "In terms of the outcome, Bismarck, your intervention this time helped us, didn't it? Although merits and demerits don't cancel each other out, Xiaobai shouldn't punish you for this, right? It's okay. I also bear responsibility for not stopping you in time. I'll apologize to Xiaobai with you. Xiaobai won't punish both of us, will she?"
As Akagi spoke, his gaze drifted to the white cat ears (hair) on Bismarck's head.
Girls always like fluffy things. At this moment, Akagi's opinion of Bismarck's character had changed. Her previous impression of "Bismarck is an emotionless aluminum-stealing machine" had become "Bismarck is an aluminum-stealing machine who is like a child who gets stuck on trivial things." With her goodwill increasing, Akagi couldn't help but raise the hand that was on Bismarck's shoulder and touch the cat ears (hair) on Bismarck's head.
"Ah, of course. Just because Shiro doesn't blame you doesn't mean Bismarck is innocent this time. As the flagship, leaving the team without permission is still a big mistake. You have to explain to the other sisters in the naval base. So when you get back to the courtyard, you'll have to write a 10,000-word self-criticism, understand?" Akagi said, pinching her fluffy cat ears while trying to maintain her leadership aura.
Bismarck's cat ears (actually hair) twitched slightly between Akagi's fingers.
Akagi lowered her eyes in surprise and looked at Bismarck's face.
Bismarck, whose eyes had been as dull and lifeless as a dried-up well, seemed to be reborn in just a few seconds. His eyes were bright and sparkling, radiating a pure and flawless brilliance. Even his usually cold and aloof poker face now shone like the sun.
what.
This cat is so cute!
With a "biu" sound.
Akagi clutched his chest and took two steps back as if he had been shot.
It seems Bismarck was truly moved.
"Thank you." Bismarck was a grateful ship girl; she silently took out her wallet. "...Here's the money."
"Ah... um... let's forget about that. But if you want to say thank you, how about I silently listen to your ear again?"
“Okay.” Bismarck’s gaze unconsciously shifted to the side.
Bismarck didn't understand why Akagi would make such a strange request.
However, Akagi seemed to be touching his hair just now.
Perhaps they have some special hobby.
Bismarck agreed to Akagi's request.
A smile, like someone seeing a pet, immediately spread across Akagi's face. She reached out and touched Bismarck's cheek: "Well, then I won't be polite?"
“Yes.” Bismarck nodded.
My ears aren't particularly special; they're ordinary-shaped, and my earlobes aren't big. Even if I touch them, they don't really...
Bismarck's thoughts were interrupted when he thought of this.
Akagi didn't touch her ears, but instead reached up to touch her head.
"Okay, okay, good boy... good boy..." Akagi had a satisfied smile on her face, pinching Bismarck's cat ears (which were actually hair) on her head, her cheeks looking like they were covered in little flowers.
He seemed quite satisfied.
the other side.
Seeing the harmonious coexistence between Bismarck and Akagi, Wisconsin, back in her secondary flagship position, trembled with anger and gritted her teeth inwardly.
gas.
So angry!
I'm so angry!
As a magnificent Iowa-class battleship, one of the pinnacles of American battleships, a shining star in history, I am destined to become a protagonist ship girl!
To my utter astonishment, I was actually mocked by an old fogey!
She, she, she actually hinted that she couldn't be the deputy flagship!
Can't bear it.
I really can't stand it.
If I put up with this, how will I ever survive in the underworld again?
it is good!
Wisconsin accepts your challenge!
You want to compare records, huh?
Women of my caliber, none of them are easy to mess with!
I'll show you Iowa-level abilities in a minute!
I'm determined to be the second-largest flagship!
Wisconsin hummed inwardly, a fiery fighting spirit of "better to die than live" ignited throughout her body, and her intense battle intent spread out, even causing the innocent ship girls standing next to Wisconsin to take two steps back with embarrassed smiles.
The ship girls looked at Bismarck, who was interacting with Akagi like a lovesick girl, and then at Wisconsin, who was humming cheesy lines and making transformation sound effects all by herself. They couldn't help but lower their heads in helplessness.
Our newbie naval flagships.
They all seem... not very reliable.
Are we really going to explore this dangerous and mysterious sea area later?
I think I should ask for the day off...
A few minutes later.
Akagi released Bismarck with satisfaction, as if he had just been fully charged.
The fleet, which had paused for a moment, continued its advance.
The journey was strangely peaceful. The ship girls stopped chatting amongst themselves, and once the atmosphere quieted down, they had unknowingly traveled quite a distance.
After clearing out a group of Abyssal Commanders blocking their way, the ship girls arrived at the entrance to the sea area that Xiaobai had pointed out to them.
Just as the ship girls were wondering where the entrance to the sea was, they suddenly felt darkness all around them. The originally bright and wide sea instantly turned dark, and the seawater under their feet turned into pure black ink in an instant.
In the vast, pure black sea ahead, the white Abyssal Deans, like densely packed mountains, stood out like a rumbling wave. As soon as the ship girls arrived in this sea, countless empty gazes of the white Abyssal Deans immediately turned to look at them.
Subsequently.
All that could be heard was a creaking sound from the sea.
The White Deep Sea Deans all raised their ship equipment high.
Chapter 1129 Using a Flagship Approach
Xiaobai had mentioned to the ship girls before they set off that the environment around them would change drastically the moment they entered the sea. So, even though they were suddenly trapped in enemy territory, the ship girls in the newbie naval base were not too surprised.
This is the advantage of battle-hardened ship girls.
The situations that newbie naval girls might encounter at sea are things they've experienced hundreds of times. Scenes that would terrify other ship girls are just one of the routines that newbie naval girls have grown tired of.
Their state is basically unaffected by anything. No matter what situation they encounter, whether it is sudden or inevitable, or whether they are ambushed or attacked, the ship girls in the novice naval base have at least a dozen ways to deal with it, and their bodies will instinctively choose the best tactic.
Deep-sea amphibious ships are nothing to fear for novice naval commanders. In fact, in the current situation, what truly worries the ship girls are other things.
After realizing that they had entered a closed and mysterious sea area as Xiaobai had said, many ship girls in the newbie naval base cast subtle worries toward Wisconsin, who was at the front of the group.
Although Bismarck herself probably didn't realize what had just happened between her and Wisconsin, the other rookie naval officers weren't like Bismarck, and they certainly saw Wisconsin's furious and frustrated expression.
