To be honest, Li Ran has rarely landed again since he captured the three islands, and he forgot the name of the island at the last island naming ceremony, and he is still used to using ABC Mishima as a pronoun. (Actually, I forgot about it.) ）

The cargo ship of Ocean Aurora did not send her mother as a frigate along the way.

Nonsense, with such a powerful regular aircraft carrier as Akagi, she flew out all the carrier-based aircraft along the way and escorted them along the way, and the escort of other ships seemed a little redundant.

Li Ran looked at Akagi standing on the deck, holding the longbow, with a heroic appearance, he walked up to her, and then looked at the calm sea, from time to time seagulls flew by, and said with a smile:

"Akagi, when we have our own large cargo ship, I want to take you all over the world, such a beautiful ocean, I want to accompany you to see it. ”

"Admiral?" Akagi was stunned, then looked at Li Ran's serious side face, she gently stroked the longbow in her hand, and then whispered:

"But Admiral, the sea is still very dangerous, and even so, do you want to continue?"

"Is it dangerous?" Li Ran was silent for a while, indeed, the ocean of this world is entrenched in the deep sea, and it may encounter the deep sea at any time, but people always have to have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish.

Although Li Ran did stay in one place by himself at the beginning, and then waited for death with his ship's wife, and lived his life, the longer he lived as a commander, the more he felt that there were some things that could not be avoided.

What's more, she hasn't figured out her affairs yet.

has not yet found the most important person in the pocket watch who thought she had forgotten, whether she came to this world or not, but Li Ran thought, if his crossing this time was not accidental, then I am afraid he would need to find a meaning, even if it was just an accident, he would have to find a meaning.

This meaning has nothing to do with whether he can become a hero and become an existence in this world.

This meaning is only because he doesn't want the scene he saw when he crossed over to become a terrible reality.

He didn't want his ship's mother to really become a ......

"Admiral. Seeing that her admiral stopped talking, Akagi silently put her hand on the back of Li Ran's hand on the railing, and then said softly and resolutely:

"No matter how dangerous it is, as long as it's where the Admiral wants to go, with Akagi and everyone, there won't be any problems. ”

"I can't be happier. Although Li Ran understood that what Akagi said was true, because in a sense, the ship girl was to protect the existence of the admiral, and each of them had the power to tear through steel, even if they looked cute, it was undeniable that even the most powerful warrior among the human race was not the enemy of the ship girl.

Of course, it doesn't mean that human beings are useless, in fact, in the final analysis, whether it is a ship mother or the deep sea, it can exist, perhaps because of the existence of human beings.

However, the unscientific world cannot be explained by logic, and there is no way to do it.

The fate of human beings and the ship mother and the deep sea has never been clear in a few words.

Getting back to the point, Li Ran's tone was somewhat helpless, but he didn't have any more self-esteem, but continued:

"But I still feel very lucky to be able to meet Akagi and everyone, no matter how many times I think about it, it feels like a dream. ”

Li Ran said, and then stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the clouds in the distance, such an action inevitably seemed a little naïve, but Akagi felt very good.

"Admiral, we're lucky, if it weren't for Admiral, we don't know how long we'd be in that sea. ”

Akagi's tone was also a little melancholy.

Li Ran didn't think so, he saw that the sea fog had disappeared, the autumn sun was not too poisonous, but the fog on the sea was very rare, and now the sunlight had completely come out, his gaze extended to the depths of the sea, looking at the waves on the sea from time to time, and said softly:

"But, even if you don't meet me, you'll always meet someone else. ”

"Admiral, I don't think I heard you today, I don't like the Admiral to say it again. ”

Akagi's tone suddenly cooled.

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then showed an apologetic expression, apologized and said:

"I'm sorry, I'm stupid again. ”

"Admiral, you're stupid. Akagi gave a rare bow, she was really a little angry, and while nodding, she said:

"People meet each other, it is not the arrangement of fate, and it cannot be shirked to fate, it is my luck to be able to become the admiral's ship mother in this life, I don't know the mood of other people, but at least in my opinion, the moment of meeting with the admiral, will be the starting point of my future survival, our ship mother is not like human beings, we will not think too far, we only have the present.

If the Admiral himself doubts himself, then for us, we have no present, we will not expect the future, even if we know that the future is beautiful, but we will not think about such a distant vision, because as long as we are by the Admiral's side, every day is what we really have.

Now that I'm with the Admiral, I really feel that it's meaningful to be alive, and I don't think it's better to meet other Admirals than to meet you, because as long as the Admiral will treat us as the same existence as human beings, not just talking, you know, we ship girls, but we can perceive people's hearts. ”

Akagi said this, and then she reacted, quickly stopped, apologized, and said:

"I'm sorry Admiral, I seem to have complained too much. ”

Li Ran shook his head, he felt the oncoming sea breeze and the gently swaying ship, squinted his eyes, and said:

"Thank you, Akagi, I'm not very smart, sometimes I'm always sentimental, and it's hypocritical to say that it's ugly, but, no matter what time it is, each of you will unconsciously say a lot of things to comfort me, obviously, if I leave the status of the Admiral, maybe I'm just a mortal with little talent, but you treat each other with sincerity, really, I think I'm really lucky. ”

"Now, Admiral, if you think you're lucky to have met us, that's a misfortune. Akagi didn't think so, and her tone was a little heavy:

"Admiral, the more powerful the power, the heavier the responsibility, you actually think so in your heart. ”

"......" Li Ran has no way to escape this problem anymore, he has always said that he hates trouble, but since the investigation of the core fraud case has been deepened, Li Ran has been involved in trouble.

Moreover, as time went on, he also took the initiative to participate in the more troublesome Great Voyage Program, and Akagi's question was a question that he had been deliberately avoiding.

Therefore, he chose to be silent, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he didn't know how to answer.

"Admiral, in fact, we all know, the Admiral has always said that he hates trouble, and the Admiral has always wanted us to think that you are not self-motivated, but ah, if you are really an unmotivated person, you will not be angry because Gagabe is drinking, and people who really want to eat and wait for death will not work overtime until someone pours water and buries their heads in work without knowing it. ”

Akagi said, and then gently squeezed Li Ran's hand, feeling that the Admiral's hand was a little cold, she felt that this action was inevitably a little bold, but since she was now the Admiral's female companion, such an intimate action was nothing.

Convincing himself like this, Akagi's hand tightened slightly.

Li Ran felt the strength from Akagi's hand, he showed a relaxed smile, and then nodded:

"I'm not as good as you think, I just don't want to be a complete piece of waste. ”

"What does it matter, even if it's waste wood, I think there will still be a sister who will raise the Admiral for a lifetime. Akagi blinked, and then smiled, and there was something in his words.

Li Ran felt furious in his heart, and he thought that since the breakthrough in his relationship with Lexington, it seemed that his wife had really worked by raising herself to be a waste wood admiral at some point.

Come to think of it, there is some terrible sense of well-being.

"Admiral, Island C, it's here. Akagi looked at Li Ran's face stiffened slightly, she quietly let go of her hand, and then began to recall her carrier-based aircraft, pointing to the small island not far away and saying:

"A few minutes faster than expected. ”

"So fast?" Li Ran followed Akagi's gaze, and sure enough, he saw the V-shaped strait, and the area outside Island C was too easy to identify.

However, this island, which has not been seen for a long time, has been built like this, and it is becoming more and more like a fortress.

"It seems that there are more and more places for sea forts here, no wonder Gaga keeps telling me that it should be safe to put supplies on Island C. ”

"Of course, Admiral, this island is very important to the Admiral, everyone understands it, after all, the home port is not in danger to defend, and this is built according to the standard of the port area for emergency refuge, but it is not really true here, and you can only know more details when you enter the V-shaped Strait. ”

"Really?" Li Ran couldn't help but look forward to it when he heard Akagi say this, he really didn't pay much attention to the development of Mishima, and his daily understanding came from the text in the report compiled by Lexington, and now it seems that he still has to visit Mishima more in the future.

The old butler quickened the speed of the voyage very wisely, and the current in the V-shaped strait was also very fast, and because the channel here was narrow but deep, so that such a medium-sized cargo ship did not have to fear running aground and hitting the reef at full speed.

Li Ran looked at the surrounding cliffs that were inlaid with some glowing stones, so that they would not lose light in the passage, and he asked Akagi:

"Are these fluorescent stones already there?"

"These, no, because of the unique geographical location of Island C, so many maritime merchants want to buy real estate on the island, after all, such a safe island, but rare, so, the secretary ship she for the convenience of passage, she listened to Emden's suggestion, in the cliff in this strait, inlaid with fluorescent stone, at night, here is more beautiful, I heard that now this has become a beautiful scenery in the Pacific theater, many representatives of world hotels sometimes follow the maritime merchants to come to collect the wind. ”

"Is there a name?"

"Well, it's called the V-shaped Strait Fluorescent Channel. ”

"Fluorescent Channel?" Li Ran smiled, it's so good, I didn't expect that such a beautiful scenery could be seen in such an endless ocean and such an inconspicuous strait.

Should we say that nature is a miracle, or should we say that human beings have always been so unrestrained in their demand for nature?

Li Ran didn't know that he was not a philosopher, he only felt at this time that such a beautiful scenery belonged to himself and the world, which was really good.

If more people can come here, then presumably, it will not be dead here in the future.
