"Governor, it's been a long time."

She seemed to know Mu Yu.

Everyone stared at Mu Yu in surprise.

Mu Yu also looked completely unaware.

The white-haired ship girl looked at President Er Gou and gave her a polite, slight bow.

"President, it's been a long time."

Now it was President Er Gou's turn to be dumbfounded.

The white-haired ship girl straightened up and then shifted her gaze to Xiaobai, who was being tightly protected by Luo Lian behind her.

Startled, Xiaobai quickly waved her hands: "Um... I don't know you... Um... this is the first time we've met, right..."

The white-haired ship girl nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

However, at that moment, the white-haired ship girl suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud. She bent down and kowtowed to Xiaobai in a very respectful manner.

He kowtowed hard.

The floor seemed to shake when it was hit.

"Your subordinate, Kaga, was unable to return to the naval base immediately due to personal matters. I request the new admiral to punish me accordingly!!!"

"I Became a Giant" is a new book by a member of the author group. I hope those of you experiencing a reading slump will support it. Thank you!

written request for leave

Hedgehog Cat got paid for his writing today, so I have money to go to the vet (stares into the distance).

As a computer science student, I used to think that being a programmer was the shortest-lived job in the world, so I felt that living to fifty would be a huge bonus.

However, after writing the novel, I realized how naive I had been.

If this trend continues...

I probably won't even make it to thirty.

Chapter 874 The Governor Could Not Escape Death

The voices of the ship girls echoed in the empty hall, until they seeped into the walls.

The third-floor hall of the Admiral's Guild fell silent.

Silence fell.

Mu Yu and Guild Leader Er Gou turned their heads and stared blankly at Xiao Bai standing at the back of the line. Even Luo Lian, who had been paying attention to Xiao Bai, now had a very curious expression on her face.

The emotion of "So this thing belongs to your family?" was evident on everyone's faces.

Little White stared wide-eyed, completely unable to comprehend the situation before him.

Ok?

hmmmm?

What's going on? What happened? What's the development?

This ship girl is actually from my family?

So you're saying you created the forest yourself?

No, I didn't do it, I'm innocent!

How should I react, and how should I explain it?

What expression should I use in this situation?

In an instant, faced with such a sudden situation, all sorts of emotions and thoughts mixed together and rushed into Xiaobai's head, causing him to crash.

A crunch.

Fortunately, at that moment, in the distance, the tightly closed office of Chairman Er Gou was pushed open.

Helena, carrying a pile of documents, pushed the door open with her backside as she walked out. She looked towards the hall and saw a crowd of people standing in front of Kaga, who was kneeling and kowtowing. She was slightly surprised.

Helena seems to already know the identity of the white-haired ship girl kneeling on the ground.

"President? You're back already? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Helena walked up to Mu Yu with the documents in her hands, and looked at President Er Gou hiding behind Mu Yu. "President, you're back just in time. I've already printed out the first version of the materials you sent me. All that's missing is the photo from your side. Anyway, take a look and see if this format is okay."

As Helena spoke, she freed one hand to pull out the top page of information and handed it to President Er Gou.

Xiao Bai turned slightly and glanced at the document. It was a wanted poster that Xiao Bai had only ever seen in movies and cartoons. The layout was extremely flamboyant, except that the top photo was empty.

"How is it?" Helena asked the silent crowd. "President, where are the photos?"

"..." President Er Gou silently slipped a photo out of his clothes, "Helena..."

"Ok?"

“This ship girl…” President Er Gou pointed to the white-haired ship girl below.

"Ah, her." Helena nodded with a smile. "Well, President, you didn't recognize her either, did you? I didn't recognize her the first time I saw her either. How embarrassing."

"Huh? I know her?"

“Yes, you should all recognize her… oh, except for little Luo Lian.” Helena put down the documents in her hand, cupped her face, and smiled at everyone. “She’s Kaga, the ship girl of former Admiral Lu Yun. Huh? Hasn’t she introduced herself to you yet?”

Xiao Bai was surprised.

She stared at Helena with her mouth agape, her face filled with disbelief.

The newbie naval commander, Kaga, was indeed someone I'd seen in a photo. However, the Kaga in the photo, from her face to her eye and hair color, was completely different from the person standing before me.

"Kaga...uh, is that the one who's always around Akagi...the one who used to be like this and that?" Shiro stiffly stretched out her hand, gesturing in the air. "That Kaga from the rookie naval base???"

"Yes, Admiral!" Before Helena could speak, Kaga, kneeling on the ground with her forehead pressed to the ground, responded with a strong voice, "Kaga underwent modifications before, and her body has undergone some minor changes due to the changes in her ship equipment, but Kaga is still Kaga! Still your ship girl!"

—It's insignificant, but it's alright.

Xiaobai looked at Kaga on the ground with a complicated expression.

Retrofitting... Indeed, it seems that a small number of ship girls in the newbie naval base, like Xiao Changchun, underwent a complete transformation after retrofitting, becoming almost like different people... So theoretically, it's not impossible for Kaga to undergo such a change...

What else can Xiaobai say?

As expected of a ship equipment modification center, it should just be renamed a ship girl plastic surgery clinic from now on...

Yubari is awesome.

"Don't kneel on the ground, it's cold." Helena smiled at Kaga as she slowly shifted her gaze to the photo that President Er Gou had handed her. "Kaga, it's been so long! I didn't expect you to have become so beautiful. And let me tell you, you came at just the right time today. Just now, the president and the others encountered a ship girl attacking a human admiral on the beach. The president was so angry that she wanted me to issue a city-wide warrant for her arrest. If I didn't know that you, Kaga, weren't the kind of person who would do such a bad thing, I might have started to suspect..."

"...You......" Helena's voice gradually lost its previous ease and comfort, replaced by a deep sense of astonishment and blankness. "Uh..."

Kaga was prominently featured in the photo that President Er Gou handed to Helena.

Helena looked up at the crowd.

Everyone quickly turned their heads away, too embarrassed to look Helena in the eye.

Helena blinked, finally understanding the meaning behind the ghostly expressions on everyone's faces.

"The beach?" At this moment, Kaga, who was on the ground, heard Helena's previous words. She slowly straightened up from the ground, her expression somewhat puzzled. "Kaga did attack an admiral on the admiral's orders when she landed on the beach."

The voice just fell.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Xiaobai.

"Huh??? No, I didn't!" Little White shook his head like a rattle drum. "I didn't give such an order!"

“Yes, it’s definitely not the new admiral’s order. It was an order that Admiral Lu Yun gave to Kaga when he was still alive.” Kaga, kneeling on the ground, stood as straight as a swan, and nodded gently.

Everyone was stunned.

"Kaga, what orders did my brother give?"

"The admiral instructed that if Kaga encounters any admiral with the surname Mu in the artificial city of the second chapter, he should not question or explain, but beat them to death."

"Huh? Why?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

"Kaga didn't ask why." Kaga lowered his head apologetically at Shiro.

"..."

As Xiaobai was wondering, Er Gou, the guild leader beside her, suddenly sighed helplessly.

"Damn..." Guild Leader Er Gou sighed, silently left the team, walked to the sofa, covered his face with his hands, and plopped down on it, looking dejected.

Anyway, it's a done deal that Kaga is Shiro's ship girl.

Mu Yu patted her chest, feeling as if she had escaped death.

"Kaga, please stand up first." Shiro glanced awkwardly at President Er Gou on the sofa and helped Kaga up from the ground.

"Thank you, Admiral." Kaga stood up from the ground and then asked, "May I ask... did Kaga make a serious mistake?"

"Well... uh... I guess..." Xiaobai looked at Kaga, whose expression was serious and innocent, and was worried as to where to begin explaining.

“She was just following orders correctly, there was nothing wrong with that.” At this moment, President Er Gou suddenly spoke up from the sofa.

"Damn it... even if this stupid seal is lying in a coffin, it still has to make its presence felt..."

There was an extreme sense of helplessness in President Er Gou's voice... and a feeling of powerlessness and frustration.

President Er Gou raised his head, glanced at the puzzled Xiao Bai, and sighed helplessly.

"Little White Sister, come here for a moment."

"Oh, oh, oh." Xiaobai walked up to President Ergou.

President Er Gou led Xiao Bai to his side, glanced at her a few times, and secretly organized his thoughts: "There are some things I haven't told you before. Actually, your brother didn't have a good relationship with my hometown before."

"Not good means..."

"It was a whirlwind marriage... He didn't tell his family once or twice and went straight to get a marriage certificate with a poor guy who had just graduated from the Naval Academy, so back in my hometown everyone thought of your brother as a gigolo who was only interested in clinging to rich women."

“…They’re right.” Xiaobai expressed his apology.

"Anyway, you pretty much know that I'm not the kind of person who's well-liked at home. I'm always making things difficult for you, and your brother and I aren't the type to take it lying down, so we basically clashed with everyone, inside and out. Even though he became the world's number one admiral in the end, the grudge is still there, and our relationship won't be good. That's pretty much why he gave Kaga that kind of order. People from my hometown coming here and doing things with the surname Mu (木) is definitely not a good thing, so I just attacked them as soon as I saw them, no matter what."

"Uh... so you mean..."

"Screw you, stop this bastard!" President Er Gou said helplessly, rubbing his forehead and uttering vulgarities.

Kaga walked over to Chairman Er Gou and stared blankly at the two people on the sofa for a while.

"Um... Admiral, may I ask if Kaga has caused you any trouble?" Kaga's thin eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked with some concern.

"It's nothing serious. They just crippled the people who came to take the chairman home for negotiations, forcing him to skip the negotiation phase and come home in person to give an explanation..."

Kaga paused, his gaze momentarily blank, before quickly hardening: "Kaga understands."

Kaga suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud. She took out a sheathed short sword from her ship equipment and drew it out with a serious expression.

"Huh??? Kaga, what are you doing???"

"I have made such a grave mistake on our first meeting, causing you both so much trouble. I am ashamed to face the new admiral. Please wait a moment, admiral and guild master, as I will now commit seppuku to atone for my sins!"

"what??"

"Please, Admiral and Chairman, do not approach Kaga. If Kaga's blood splatters on you, you will feel even more guilty!"

"Wait! Disembowelment means death!"

"Please rest assured, Admiral, Kaga will suppress the power of her ship's equipment and will certainly endure the pain of seppuku before she dies!"

"No! Wait!"

"I feel deeply ashamed that I was unable to serve the Admiral. It seems I can only repay his kindness in the next life... But I can't see Akagi-nee one last time before committing seppuku. I feel somewhat lonely, but Akagi-nee would certainly not want to see me in such a shameful state..."

"Helena, hurry up! Hand over her knife!"

In an instant, Xiaobai, Guild Master Ergou, and Helena Luolian pounced on Kaga, who was holding a gleaming dagger and preparing to stab himself in the abdomen. In a flash, the four of them were on top of Kaga, and several hands grabbed Kaga's dagger. The five of them twisted and rolled around on the ground.

"Admiral! Kaga is no longer qualified to be an admiral's ship girl!!"

"Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting, you unlucky kid? I haven't said anything yet, and I finally managed to clean the floor!"

"Then Kaga will go find a clean and secluded place..."

"Kaga was just faithfully following orders. You did nothing wrong. The one who's wrong is the one who gave the orders, the one who made things difficult for my brother and the president!"

"But...but...it's because of Kaga that the student council president is now forced to..."
