Chapter 2661 Triumph

Tianying looked down at the business card in his hand, thought for a while, and then nodded gently to Xiaobai.

"Although I don't have much time lately and may not be able to visit Admiral Lu Lin, thank you anyway," Tianying said to Xiaobai after accepting Xiaobai's business card.

"Okay, then let's do it this way." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

The brief conversation between Xiaobai and Tianying came to an end.

As Xiaobai waved goodbye with a smile, Tianying returned to Luo Yingying's side.

Luo Yingying greeted Xiaobai and his group with a stiff expression, then led the employees away from the construction floor.

……

Luo Yingying had forgotten how she walked. After she regained consciousness, she found herself back in her familiar office.

I was slumped on the chair like a salted fish.

Tianying brewed a cup of coffee for Luo Yingying and placed it in front of her.

"Admiral, you don't look well."

"It's not good... that's for sure!" Luo Ying took a deep breath, slapped her cheeks hard, then sat up, glaring at Tianying and saying, "Do you know how dangerous you were just now! I almost lost you!"

"..." Tianying silently watched Luo Yingying's lingering fear.

“Nine out of ten ship girls targeted by Admiral Lu Lin will fall victim to her... No, no... What do you mean nine out of ten? It's one hundred percent! Skyhawk, do you know how dangerous you are right now?!” Luo Yingying said, grabbing a mascara tube from the table and twisting the cap repeatedly.

“Admiral…Admiral Lu Lin doesn’t seem like the type to force ship girls.” Tianying thought for a moment and said to Luo Yingying, “I feel like she’s very sincere.”

"Sincerity is poison!" Luo Yingying shook her head frantically.

“Sigh…” Tianying sighed as he looked at Luo Yingying’s frightened appearance. “Admiral, I don’t know what you’re afraid of. In the end, no matter what happens, I will not leave our naval base.”

"Really? Really?" Luo Yingying asked pitifully as she looked at Tianying with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Yes, I have always respected you as my own father..."

As Tianying finished speaking, he looked at Luo Yingying's pitiful, delicate, and seemingly bullied appearance, and then suddenly fell silent for a while.

Ok……

Compared to her father, her admiral seems more like her mother?

Skyhawk fell into deep thought.

……

Build floors.

As soon as Luo Yingying and the guild members left the scene, before they could even take a step, the restless admirals swarmed around them and rushed towards Xiaobai and his group.

The only thing the onlookers heard from Luo Yingying's conversation with Xiaobai and her group was that "Anshan's ship equipment level is maxed out." In other words, in their minds, Xiaobai is still the one who has two special ship girls at the same time, and is a strong contender to become the world's second admiral, and even has the potential to become the next world's number one rookie admiral.

"Miss, please allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Wang, I am twenty-eight years old, ranked 108th on the World Admiral Ranking, and I am still unmarried..." A handsome admiral was the first to come to Xiaobai and made a move to kneel down on one knee.

"Get lost, you scoundrel!" A foot shot out from the side, kicking the admiral away. Another admiral took his place, bowing excitedly to Xiaobai, "It's a pleasure to meet you, esteemed lady. I am the sixty-second ranked admiral in the world, I am..."

Before the second admiral could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by the combined efforts of the third and fourth admirals.

“My esteemed lady! I…”

"It's an honor to meet you..."

"I……"

"she……"

"he……"

"...Damn it, why did you hit me!"

"You stepped on my foot, you bastard!"

"Get out of here! You're going to delay my introduction of the beautiful lady!"

Before Xiaobai could even speak, the crowd in front of him erupted into chaos, with people wrestling and fighting amongst themselves.

"Wow...it's really lively..." Xiaobai looked at the chaotic battle between the admirals in front of him and gave an awkward smile.

"After all, this is an opportunity to appear before the future world's second-best admiral. If we don't make friends now, it won't be a good time later," Luo Lian commented simply. "After all, he's the future world's second-best backer; who wouldn't want to befriend him?"

"Second in the world... Ah." Xiaobai smiled wryly upon hearing this.

Xiaobai suddenly fell silent as he watched the admirals wrestling wildly in front of him, vying to appear before him.

What would these people's reaction be if they knew that Anshan wasn't a special ship girl?

Hey.

While I'm somewhat interested in these people's reactions, I feel it's more fun to keep quiet about it.

"Lianlian, Nia, they seem to be too busy to care about us right now. Let's take this opportunity to leave," Xiaobai said, turning back to her friends and the ship girls.

"Oh!"

Luo Lian and Nia quickly responded.

Leaving the construction floor went even more smoothly than Xiaobai had imagined. The admirals inside were fighting so fiercely that no one even noticed that Xiaobai and his group had already left.

Xiao Bai and his group successfully left the Admiral's Guild.

It would take some time for news from the Admirals' Guild to spread throughout the entire chapter, but the white pillar of light that had just risen from the Admirals' Guild was seen by almost all the Admirals in the chapter. Just as Xiaobai and his group left the naval base, a large group of Admirals emerged from both ends of the street, arriving one by one upon hearing the commotion.

Xiaobai and his group stood on the street, watching as a large number of admirals poured into the guild.

"It seems the Admiral's Guild won't be able to process any expedition requests today," Nia said with a sigh.

"Then let's rest for another day," Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile.

"Mmm!" Nia looked at Xiaobai, the worry on her face instantly disappearing, and nodded happily.

Everyone rushed home.

On their way home, Xiaobai and his friends frequently attracted attention from those around them.

Many admirals who rushed to the Admiral Guild after hearing the commotion would turn their amazed gazes toward Nia's back as they passed by Xiaobai.

Following Nia were four Veneto-class ship girls, each possessing beauty and a figure far exceeding that of ordinary ship girls. While each had her own unique features, they inexplicably shared a sisterly, unified style, making their group look like a runway show – a truly captivating sight. Especially striking was Rome, who had just been acquired; she followed at the back of the line with a slight nod, her deep black curly hair reminiscent of the ocean, her noble features, and her magnificent gold-red robe frequently drawing the attention of passersby.

"Wow...this ship girl is so pretty..."

"Looks incredibly strong."

"Did they just come from the direction of the Admiral's Guild?"

"A white beam of light just appeared at the Admiral's Guild, it looks like a special ship girl from their construction was successfully delivered, could it be..."

Amidst the surrounding chatter, countless gazes were cast toward Rome, as if they wanted to pierce into the very heart of the city.

Chapter 2662 Jean Bart's Strange Presence

Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Rome slowly opened his eyes.

With one gold and one blue heterochromatic eye, she was like an elf, cold yet possessing a gentle intellect.

"..." Rome sighed silently.

As a newly formed ship girl, Rome knows very little about this new world, but she does understand some basic human relationships.

This situation seems to have occurred once before within the Admiral's Guild.

Yes, it seems I've been mistaken for someone else again.

“My dear sister, why do you sigh?” Veneto turned to Rome and asked.

Upon hearing Veneto's voice, the Empire and Littorio also turned to look.

“You don’t have to talk to me so formally, Sister Veneto,” Roma said softly, then looked up and smiled faintly at Veneto. “I’m fine, but you’re very perceptive, Sister Veneto.”

"Ah...so cute." Veneto looked at Roma's smile, clutched her chest as if she had been shot with an arrow, and said, "How can my sister be so cute?"

“Veneto, you’re being biased,” Littorio said from the side.

"Cough cough cough." Veneto finally snapped out of her enchantment. She coughed, then quickly smiled at the Empire on the other side, before reaching out to hug them affectionately, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. The Empire is super cute too, super cute! I love you both the most!"

“Hmm…” Empire’s half face nestled against Vine’s body. She blinked and turned to look at Rome beside her.

Rome was also watching the empire at this time.

Rome looked at the empire with a calm, composed gaze, tinged with a hint of guilt.

"Sister Rome..." the Empire spoke up.

"I'm here."

"...You really don't remember anything?"

“…Hmm.” Rome’s eyes showed more guilt. She nodded and said, “I’m very sorry, Empire. My memory started the moment I stepped out of the construction device and saw you. I can’t remember what you told me before.”

"..." The Empire lowered her head slightly, picked up Veneto, wrapped her arms around him, and covered her face.

"I'm so sorry, Empire." Rome looked at the Empire, her eyes filled with guilt. She said slowly, "I can vaguely sense that your appearance is particularly kind to me, but I have absolutely no recollection of that river, that gray world before, or even the fact that I once gave you the chance to be born... I don't want to lie to you."

“…Mmm.” Empire hugged Veneto’s arm tightly and spoke in a clear voice.

The four sisters of the Veneto class fell silent.

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.

Xiao Bai, Luo Lian, and Nia, who were walking at the front of the group, all turned around to look at the four ship girls of the Veneto class.

“…While it’s wonderful that we were able to build a Rome exactly like the one the Empire remembers,” Nia sighed, speaking to Xiaobai and Luo Lian, “I never imagined that Rome wouldn’t have those memories…The Empire must be devastated.”

"Although it's hindsight, it does make sense," Luo Lian said. "As far as I know, the only ship girl with memories of her past life is the Empire. The reason she has those memories of being in the top ten is probably because of her wrong way of being born."

"An incorrect way of being born?"

“She is an aircraft carrier built using the battleship formula. The reason she exists is because Rome, in that gray world, gave her the chance to be born,” Luo Lian said. “Perhaps because of this relationship, some memories that should have been completely erased remained, causing the Empire to be born with memories of its past life… But Rome was shipped out using the standard construction method. She should be the one we see. However, because it was a standard construction without any errors, the memories related to that world should have been forgotten normally.”

“Sigh… I see.” Nia turned back to Rome with regret. “I don’t know how to comfort the Empire.”

"It's good that we're reunited," Xiaobai said.

“Yes, Xiaobai is right!” Nia nodded quickly.

"Unfortunately, we were hoping to rely on Rome's memories to try and find that gray world of the ship girls," Luo Lian said regretfully. "Now that Rome has completely forgotten about it, the method of finding that world by following the clues has disappeared..."

"It's alright, there's plenty of time in the future," Nia quickly said. "There will be opportunities! In any case, today is still a day full of good things!"

“That makes sense,” Luo Lian said. “After all, Xiao Bai got a special ship girl…”

"Hmm? Speaking of which, what about Jean Bart?"

Nia was about to nod when she subconsciously looked around and saw only her four ship girls behind her, as well as Xiaobai's Anshan Changchun and Enterprise's three. Apart from that, the special ship girl Jean Baal, who should have been following behind everyone, seemed to be missing.

"Call me?"

Just then, a clear voice called out a few centimeters from Nia's neck.

The sound came so suddenly that Nia was completely unprepared.

"ah!!"

Nia was startled and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, a pair of hands swiftly reached out and grabbed Nia's arm.

"Watch your step, Admiral Nia." A mischievous laugh rang in Nia's ears.

"Th-thank you..." Nia looked up blankly, glancing to her side, only to see Jean Bart smiling at her. "Huh? Jean Bart, when did you get behind me?"

"I've always been there."

“Huh? Huh…” Nia stared blankly at Jean Bart.

So Jean Bart had been by my and Xiaobai's side all along...

Why didn't I notice her all this time...?

"What's wrong?" Jeanbart asked with a smile when he saw Nia lost in thought.

"Uh...no, nothing...nothing..." Nia quickly shook her head, swallowed, and looked around curiously.

The surrounding pedestrians were mostly drawn to Rome's gorgeous appearance, while the rest of their attention was focused on the other three ship girls of the Veneto class, as well as Anshan, Changchun, and Enterprise.
