It's relaxing not having to do anything, but... it's also so boring... time seems to stretch out for so long.
Richelieu was on pins and needles.
The room seemed to get bigger and bigger, but also more and more deserted, making her start to miss her old bungalow.
No, no... it must be because I'm not used to the daily life of not being a maid yet...
The naval base will soon assign me a mission to fulfill my duties as a ship girl...
Richelieu stood up, his mind racing, when suddenly he realized he was holding something hard and long in his hand.
Richelieu was stunned and looked down at his hands.
Without realizing it, her hands had somehow found themselves gripping a broom.
It seems that even though she has mentally reverted to being a ship girl, her body is still performing the duties of a maid according to muscle memory... Richelieu smiled wryly, then looked around.
The house is really clean; even with a broom, there's not much to sweep.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well sweep the hallway outside...
Richelieu looked out the door, grabbed a broom, walked out of the living room, went to the entrance hall, and pushed open the bedroom door.
"Oh? Richelieu, you've changed back into your old clothes. You look so good."
Outside the door.
Little White, leading Super Dahe, stood in front of the door. She looked at Richelieu, who was holding a broom and had a surprised expression, and gave her a relaxed smile.
Chapter 2711 Saratoga and Richelieu
Richelieu gripped the broom, staring wide-eyed at the little white dog in front of the door.
"Admiral Lu...?"
"Yes, it's me."
"You...you didn't go back to Chapter Eight?"
"Huh?" Xiaobai tilted her head and pointed at the person next to her, saying, "What do you mean, back to Chapter 8? I just went to call Super Yamato."
“Ah…” Richelieu blinked, staring blankly at Shiro and Super Yamato, “So, you’ve come here to…”
“Of course I’ll take you to Chapter Eight.” Xiaobai said matter-of-factly, then turned to Chao Yamato and said, “Chao Yamato, since Richelieu has also gone out, let’s begin.”
"Understood." Chao Dahe nodded, and with a gentle wave of her hand at the empty ground, a purplish-black vortex appeared out of thin air as a strong aura of the deep sea spread out.
hum hum...
A faint black vortex remained stable in mid-air, radiating an aura that seemed capable of devouring everything.
Richelieu stared blankly at the black vortex.
Under Richelieu's watchful gaze, Super-Big first pulled open the black vortex and went inside.
Then it was Little White's turn. Little White walked up to the black vortex as if climbing stairs. She lifted her foot and stepped on the edge of the black vortex, then looked back at Richelieu.
"Richelieu?"
"Eh...ah?" Richelieu snapped out of his daze and looked at Little White in a panic.
"Do you still have things to do at the naval base?" Xiaobai asked curiously, staring at the broom in Richelieu's hand.
“Uh…no…” Richelieu quickly put the broom behind him and shook his head rapidly at Little White.
"Oh, I'm relieved then." Xiaobai smiled with relief and extended a hand to Richelieu. "Let's go, let's go to Chapter Eight."
“…” Richelieu stared blankly at the hand that Xiaobai offered, and subconsciously reached out and shook hands with Xiaobai.
Admiral Lu Lin's hands...so soft, so warm.
Richelieu and Xiaobai disappeared one after another into the black vortex.
As the three of them entered the black vortex one after another, the vortex shrank smaller and smaller until it disappeared from the spot.
After the black vortex disappeared, the sound of the door opening followed.
Just then, the door to the dormitory room next door was pushed open, and a ship girl in pajamas walked out, rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking at the spot where the vortex had just appeared with a puzzled expression.
"...Huh? There seemed to be a very noticeable deep-sea fluctuation at the entrance just now?" The ship girl in her pajamas yawned, looking at the smooth, brand-new corridor floor and muttering to herself, "Hmm... Could it be the Admiral? Admiral... um... hey—is the Admiral there?"
The ship girl, dressed in her pajamas, glanced at the empty corridor and called out twice.
But all that answered the ship girls was emptiness.
"Sigh...it seems I'm a step too late."
The ship girl sighed and turned to close the door.
However, before closing the door, the ship girl caught a glimpse of the dormitory door next door out of the corner of her eye.
"……Um?"
The ship girl paused as she prepared to close the door, looking at Richelieu's open gate with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? I remember the room next door was empty, so why is the door open?"
The ship girl opened her own door with a puzzled look and came to Richelieu's dormitory door, glancing curiously at the sign in front of the door.
"There are no names on the resident's nameplate... Hmm? What's with this broom?"
The ship girl saw the broom placed in front of the door again. She picked up the broom with a puzzled look on her face.
……
Richelieu had only heard about Super Yamato's teleportation ability from word of mouth among the newbie ship girls in the naval base, and this was the first time she had ever seen it with her own eyes and experienced it firsthand.
After stepping out of the teleportation vortex and landing firmly on a brand new piece of land, Richelieu held his forehead and remained dizzy for a while.
The feeling of weightlessness and imbalance while riding the teleportation vortex lingered in Richelieu's mind like a lingering melody.
Just as Richelieu felt he was about to vomit, suddenly, a pair of warm little hands grasped Richelieu's palms once again, and streams of warm spiritual energy flowed from the palms into Richelieu's body.
Soon, as the warm current entered his body, Richelieu's dizziness dissipated.
“Phew…” Richelieu let out a long sigh of relief, looking gratefully at the person beside him, “Thank you, Admiral Lu Lin…”
"It's alright, are you okay?" Xiaobai smiled at Richelieu. "It seems that you, Richelieu, are just like Saratoga, the kind of person who gets motion sickness from the deep-sea whirlpools of the Super Yamato."
"...Would Saratoga do that too?"
“Well, compared to her, your condition is at most a mild case.” Xiaobai squeezed Richelieu’s palm and smiled slightly. “Saratoga has to hug a trash can and vomit for a long time every time she crosses a deep-sea whirlpool.”
“Uh…” Richelieu pursed his lips awkwardly.
As the dizziness subsided, Richelieu began to feel the temperature around him.
“Chapter Eight… is a bit cold,” Richelieu said softly.
"It's not cold." Little White shook his head and said to Richelieu with a smile, "You only feel cold because I set the teleportation point for Chapter 8 in the underground cold storage."
"Huh?" Richelieu stared blankly at Xiaobai, his face full of questioning expressions.
"Let's explain this slowly, let's go out first." Xiaobai pointed to the exit of the cold storage below.
"Oh……"
Pushing open the door to the underground cold storage, a gentle breeze immediately greeted me.
The comfortable temperature dispelled the chill from Richelieu's body.
Richelieu looked up at the sky, just as she was about to survey her surroundings, when suddenly, a figure darted out from the corner in front of her and crashed into her arms.
"Sister—you've finally come to Chapter Eight! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Richelieu was nearly knocked back into the cold storage by Jean Bart. She took two steps back and barely managed to stand before looking down at the ship girl in her arms.
Jean Bart suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and she hugged Richelieu's body tightly, rubbing her head against Richelieu's body repeatedly.
(This section contains censored text.)
"Wow—my sister's new clothes are so pretty! Hehe, let me see how sturdy they are!"
Looking at the younger sister who was openly taking advantage of her older sister the moment they met, Richelieu had a complicated expression, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly.
Richelieu has always been quite resistant to close physical contact with others. This has nothing to do with the level of intimacy; it's simply because Richelieu is a rather proper and upright ship girl. But even so, even though Baal's little hands were about to slip inside her clothes, Richelieu didn't feel particularly comfortable, but surprisingly, she didn't feel any resistance either.
Maybe that's what sisters are all about.
Richelieu's understanding of the ship girl sisters deepened.
"Have you been waiting for me here?" Richelieu patted Jeanbart's head and asked her.
"Hehe, yes!" Jeanbart lifted his head from Richelieu's ample cleavage, giving her a satisfied and affectionate smile. "I've been waiting here all morning to see you, sister!"
“…” Richelieu smiled.
“Riceliu, don’t be fooled by her. Jeanbart definitely came here to avoid his morning exercise,” Xiaobai said from the side.
“…” Richelieu’s smile disappeared.
When Richelieu looked at Jeanbart again, Jeanbart lowered his head, sweating profusely, with an embarrassed expression as if he had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.
Richelieu sighed and turned to look at Little White.
"Admiral Lu Lin...did you send me to Chapter Eight to help you discipline Jean Bart?"
“Yes, if you’re Jean Bart’s sister, at least she can listen to you when I’m not around,” Xiaobai said with a smile. But then she raised her finger and pointed at Richelieu, “Ah, of course, that’s not the only reason I brought you to Chapter Eight.”
"...Is there anything else?"
"Yes, for example... settling scores for past sins or something." Xiaobai looked mysteriously into the distance.
“??” Richelieu
……
Half an hour later.
Inside the makeshift training ground where Nia lives.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom————
Boom boom boom————
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom ————
Countless colorful carrier-based aircraft circled in the sky.
A deluge of bombs rained down.
Orange-red flashes of white light bloomed on the water's surface.
The furious roar of bombing echoed throughout Nia's temporary garrison, causing the ship girls of Nia's family to clutch their heads and stare in shock at the battle on the training field.
The terrifying explosion even broke through the soundproofing measures and spread outside the naval base, attracting the astonished gazes of passing admirals to the gates of Nia's naval base.
"Good heavens, what happened in this yard?"
"Are the ship girls fighting amongst themselves?"
"Whose aircraft carrier was behind that explosion? It sounds like it's related to some personal grudges."
"..."
Inside the garrison.
Violent explosions echoed continuously across the water during the exercise, the fierce bombardment nearly turning the surface upside down. A light drizzle began to fall from the sky amidst the intense bombardment, and faint rainbows appeared and disappeared in the air. Beneath the vast array of golden carrier-based aircraft filling the sky, a tall figure in a white dress, her blonde hair flowing freely, raised her hands, guiding the aircraft as they bombed ahead.
“Hahahahahaha————”
Saratoga's eyes burned with raging flames, and with each wave of her slender hand, a large group of carrier-based aircraft relentlessly bombarded the sea, exuding an aura of triumphant revenge.
"Boom boom boom boom——"
Faced with Saratoga's relentless and terrifying bombardment, Richelieu's disheveled figure darted and weaved, desperately dodging amidst blooming flames.
Chapter 2712 Handshake and Peace Reconciliation
On the spectator stands at the edge of the training ground, Nia covered her mouth and watched the battle on the water with a look of surprise.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Saratoga look so excited,” Nia murmured, turning to Little White. “Little White, Saratoga and this… um… Richelieu? Did something happen between them?”
“Yes, but that was a long time ago.” Behind Nia, Xiaobai, who was sitting in her seat, smiled and looked at the scene on the water. She nodded slowly and said, “Anyway, it was about two years ago. Because of me, Saratoga fought with Richelieu, who wasn’t my ship girl at the time.”
"Huh? You had a fight?" Nia immediately came over upon hearing this. "Could it be... a chaotic scene?"
