The top of the pitch-black gate. Two high-powered searchlights suddenly lit up. The gates of the entire base are illuminated. The Governor and his entourage also saw this pair of huge gates.

"This. Could this be a military base left over from decades ago? "The Governor stood in the bow of the ship. Looking at the huge gate, I couldn't help but say in surprise. Luke and Lillian didn't seem to mention it.

"These two guys. They didn't even tell me there was such a place. Is. All of them are getting more and more slippery. Sighed. The Governor said, looking at the slowly opening door.

"Governor. It seems that Mr. Luke mentioned it in his report to you. It's just that you didn't notice it at the time...... "I heard the governor say this." Dadian reminded him in a low voice. She had also prompted the Governor to take a closer look. But then it was delayed because of other things. She didn't think about it later. It wasn't until I saw these two gates appear in front of me that I remembered.

"Ahh Is it. Alas. It's really old. It's useless. As a result, there is no place to retire until now. He shook his head. He's just talking. It's not that angry. It's better to see these two guys living so nourishingly here. I'm still a little happy.

How to say. This is also the student he brought out.

Well. How to have three ships. As the cargo ship slowly drove into the base. The Governor also saw the situation here at the docks. But what surprised him a little was that. There were actually three cargo ships docked on the dock.

When Luke was removed from office. The gendarmerie were probably held back by something else. That's why he didn't have time to ask Luke for the ship. So it's not surprising that there are two cargo ships. But whose third ship is it? Do these two guys have any guests.

"The number on that ship. It looks familiar. Oyodo. Do you remember which admiral's ship it was? "Each of the Admiral's assigned cargo ships has a number on it. Instead of the ship's name, it was sprayed on the ship for easy distinction.

Oyodo served as the governor's long-term secretary ship. Most of the things are done through her hands. So these are the cargo ships that are assigned to the various minor admirals. Of course she knew. "That. Not. It was Admiral Louis's. But he lost contact a few days ago. ”

"Louie." Hear the name. The Governor frowned. No wonder he always felt familiar. There was a town guard where gendarmerie members were killed before. Isn't that Louie's town guard's mansion?

What the hell is going on. How could Louie's ship be here with Luke and Lillian. The doubts in my heart are suppressed for the time being. Wait a while and ask the two of them if you'll find out. He had seen Lillian's child waiting on the docks.

At this time. Several of the Governor's cargo ships crowded into the base. All of a sudden, the pier, which had looked very spacious, became crowded.

Lillian looked at the dock, which was almost full. Some are speechless. Why, the governor came with five cargo ships. And it's still so many ship girls. Almost every cargo ship has more than a dozen or twenty shipwives. So many people. Is the Governor moving here for permanent residence?

The corners of his mouth twitched. Lillian still greeted the Governor as he disembarked. "Good evening. Governor. He said. He saluted.

The Governor saw Lillian come and say hello. Subconsciously, he raised his hand and returned the salute. But after putting down his hand, he remembered that he didn't seem to be a governor now. At most, it's just a bad old man with a big ticket of shipwreckage looking for a place to settle down.

"Good evening. But you don't have to salute me anymore. I'm not a governor anymore. He shook his head. The Governor said with a wry smile.

"Huh. How could it be. Has anyone taken over. "I heard the Governor say this. Lillian was immediately stunned. Although the Governor is already over half a hundred years old this year. But he's only been in the governor's position for less than a decade. It must be at least a few years before the Governor retires.

"Alas. It's hard to put into words. Sighed. The Governor turned his head to look at the shipwives behind Lillian. Nagato. Island wind. There is also snow wind. All of them are the way they were. The expression is not the way it looks after being controlled. Looks like Lillian wasn't being co-opted by the gendarmerie guys.

So that he was relieved. It seems that those guys in the gendarmerie are not hand-eyed. At least Lilian didn't reach out here. The Governor thought so. As everyone knows, the gendarmerie who reached over was already kneeling.

"How. Don't you welcome me, an old man? He smiled. Chao Lilian quipped.

"Ahh Yes. Not really. How so. Let's come with me first. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go to the restaurant first. "I heard the Governor say this. Lillian hurriedly waved her hand. Pointing in the direction of the restaurant. He led the Governor and a large group of shipwives towards the dining room.

"Really. Luke, that guy. We're busy here. He himself was resting comfortably on the side. Congyun brought down a large pot of rice from the stove. Put another pot of raw rice on top. He muttered unslowly.

"Well. Don't say that. Who keeps him so busy these days? I don't know what he's up to, though. But didn't he make all the armor you had on you? Seriously, I'm a little envious. When will I be able to change into some new ship outfits like the few of you? "Ashwaga is wearing an apron. He said while chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife. Both Haguro and Nachi were on her side to give her a hand.

Fukiyuki and Shirayuki, who were sitting next to them and peeling potatoes, heard Ashigara talking about the new ship's outfit. also nodded approvingly. "yes. From the cloud. Those new ship outfits look so good. ”

"Alas. God knows what's going on in Luke's mind. He pouted and muttered. Continue her work from the cloud. There are dozens of mouths waiting to eat outside. If you don't hurry up, Akagi will run in again.

Really. A Akagi is already so strenuous. Unexpectedly, the governor brought another Akagi. When I told them about this just now, everyone's hearts were all chuckled.

But it's okay. The shipwreck who took over from Louis didn't do nothing. At least they can help a lot with things like cooking. Otherwise, just rely on Kura and Tianjin Feng. A busy night may not be able to fill the stomachs of two Akagi.

Could this be the one that is popular in those large town guards? 'Take the ship's mother to your house for dinner.' 'Activities.

Kura pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat. Fuso next to him also stopped and took a breath. Now there are too many people. So I don't need those small pots for cooking for a long time. Rather, there are several iron pots the size of grinding discs. Otherwise, the dishes won't be enough for Akagi to eat.

"Well. Come on. And there are quite a few. Now it's time for Luke to have a headache with supplies. Fuso thought that it had just been a few days before the beginning of the month. About half of the supplies and food have already been consumed. This time Luke was really going to have a headache.

There were more than two dozen ship girls before. With the ingredients I bought before, I can barely survive until the beginning of next month. But now. Dozens of shipwives this meal. Just ate up a lot of inventory. If you don't go to buy supplies as soon as possible. They might go hungry.

But there are some benefits to having more people. At least there are more people who can help. I looked at Kaga, who was helping to stir-fry next to him. There is also Hinata on the other side who helps cut the meat. Fuso also relaxed a little.

At least so many people helped. There will be no more busy dark days.

……

"Luke. Where are you running now? The Governor has something to discuss with you. "Got on the phone. Luke heard Lillian's voice coming from the earpiece. He had to straighten his arms. Keep your phone as far away from you as possible.

"Yes, yes. I know. Really. Is there anything you can't handle on your own? Scratched his head. Luke hung up. Closed the box on the table and placed it under the bed.

The surface of the old suitcase has faded a little. It contained the same gold coins that Luke had found in the vault safe at this base. Some of it has been spent before. Now there is a box and a half left.

He also feels that the money really doesn't seem to be enough to spend. Those supplies that were purchased before. Spent a lot of cash. The money he exchanged last time. It should last for almost two or three years.

But in terms of the current number of ship girls. Maybe it will only last a year. And that's not counting the guys the Governor brought in.

If counted. The cost of purchasing food ingredients alone is a big expense. Fortunately, there are enough resources and everything now. The only expense is food. Everything else doesn't cost much. After all, almighty goblins can basically make them.

If it weren't for the elves, they wouldn't be able to farm. Luke might be going to get the elves to start cultivating crops on the ocean floor.

It's useless to think about it now. Let's go meet the Governor. Just ask him what the hell is going on with so many shipwives coming over. Two boxes of money were taken out from under the bed and placed on the table. This is prepared as an expense for the purchase of food.

If you have time. I may have to go to Star Island again in the next few days. Nautical miles are abundant. But if you eat fish every day, you will get tired. He's not a cat.

Lock the factory gates. Luke walked in the direction of the restaurant. Just walked to the door. I saw two guys running into the restaurant with a case of wine. It seems to have been taken down from the Governor's cargo ships. Those two ship girls should be Hayabusa and Chitose brought by the Governor.

Sure enough, they are two drunkards. It's all about time. Don't forget to have a drink.

Walk into the restaurant. Luke immediately twitched the corner of his eye. I saw it in the restaurant. It's full of ships. From time to time, someone gets up and goes to the counter to add food or something.

It's really. It's so crowded that it's full. Governor this guy. Shouldn't I have brought all the shipwives in my family?
