At 10:30 a.m. on August 21, YC 120, the Emma Imperial Academy Exchange Group officially departed from the flagship Karl Tashmungon. They will travel aboard the Yaka Tovitoba, the flagship of the Gaddari Navy's First Fleet, to the National Military Academy of the United States of Gaddari, located on Planet VII.

"My lord, Gadari has sent a communication: I request to connect with us through the pipeline." Message came from the bridge.

"Docking allowed." Karl arranges his military dress with the help of Richelieu and Zao.

Richelieu gently hung the last medal on him, and then said, "Admiral, with Paladin here, I and the king will not accompany you." ”

"Why?" Carl asked curiously.

"The king and I are coming in the name of your guards, so it's not appropriate for us to appear on this occasion... After all, if it causes problems with your reputation ... Richelieu expressed it as tactfully as he could.

Karl stared at her for a moment, then asked, "Who said that?" Isn't it Alfred? Out of anger, he didn't even say anything to Alfred.

"No, it's not Mr. Alfred telling us." Richelieu hurriedly denied it.

Because of the contract, Karl knew that Richelieu had not lied to him. He asked, "Who's that?!" ”

"I command you and the king of Zao as admirals, and you two must tell the truth!" He added.

Richelieu lowered his head and said, "He said he was the captain, and he came shortly after you entered the healing chamber." He said that the Admiral, you represent the image of the entire Tashmungon family, reminding us that we need to take your image into account a little in such an important international meeting. At least don't let others think that the head of the Tashmungon family is a womanizer, and even such an important occasion is accompanied by a group of beautiful women. ”

"Is that so?" Karl turned to ask Zao.

Zao nodded, then added, "This is what Richelieu told us when he returned. We have already discussed it, and we feel that it will be very bad if you take so many of us out at once, so Richelieu and I will make a claim. Please also punish the commander! She said on her knees.

"Alas! But I... ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and Alfred's voice rang out outside the door.

"Boy! Have you changed your clothes? This is an important occasion, don't drop the chain if you don't have anything to do! If there is a scandal on this, let alone your sister, even Your Majesty will have to beat you personally! ”

"It's coming, it's coming! Really, uncle, you are in such a hurry! Carl pulled the door open.

Alfred looked behind him, and then solemnly reminded: "I said boy, don't say uncle, I speak ugly." A word of caution, what you take out for a while represents the image of the empire and your Tashmungon family. You'd better just bring a female companion or escort, I won't talk about more! ”

"I know, I know, I'll take a Paladin. Nothing else! Karl said impatiently.

"It's good that you kid knows the severity, I'll wait for you at the door first." Alfred looked at his chest again and smiled.

No matter how Carl looked at it, he couldn't help but look down at Alfred's smile, and then angrily said to Richelieu and Zao, "Damn! You two girls can actually hang the medal upside down! What about Paladin? Come and help me hang up the medal! ”

When everything was ready, Carl came to the door of the passage.

Alfred patted him on the shoulder, helped him fasten the top buckle and asked, "Are you nervous?" Brat? ”

Karl rolled his eyes and asked him, "What do you say?" Uncle? ”

"Take a few deep breaths and do everything according to your usual etiquette." Alfred smiled kindly.

"The channel docking is successful! Confirm safety! "The sound of the ship's AI on the radio is heard.

He took a deep breath, looked at the open passage and the Gadari who greeted him, and walked first towards the Yaka Tovitoba.

At the moment when Karl stepped into the Yaka Tovitoba, the salute soldiers on the Yaka Tovitoba sang loudly.

"All of them! Hail to our allies! ”

"Huh!" The sound of the heels of military boots colliding.

"Welcome to Gadari, Major General Karl. I'm the captain of the Yaka Tovitoba, Lin Qingyao. A petite, dark-haired, round-faced Rear Admiral Gadari stretched out his hand to Karl.

"Hello, I am the head of the Imperial Academy's exchange mission, Rear Admiral Karl Heinrich Tashmungon." Karl reached out and shook it lightly twice, then let go.

Alfred behind him also reached out and shook it lightly twice before saying, "Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy, Alfred Coezzo, the deputy head of the academy exchange group on the Imperial side this time. ”

"Who is this lady?" Lin Qingyao reached out to Paladin behind Carl to shake it. Without him, Paladin is too dazzling.

"Paladin Tashmongon, now serving as the personal guard of the head of the family." Paladin said lukewarmly.

"Oh, I see. Then I would like to welcome the Emma Imperial Academy exchange group led by the two of you once again aboard the Yaka Tovitoba! Come with me, and I will take you with you for a brief tour of the flagship of our First Fleet, the Yaka Tovitoba. Lin Qingyao withdrew her hand without a trace and led the way in front.

Carl and Alfred followed Lin Qingyao, listening to her introduce some of the situation on this aircraft carrier from time to time.

Several people walked to the bridge, and the off-duty officers on the bridge stood up and saluted them.

"Come with me, both of you." Lin Qingyao brought the three of them to the captain's seat.

"May I ask Major General Lin, will there be those important people from your side at the welcome ceremony later? Please also ask the Major General to introduce me and Lieutenant General Alfred to avoid any rudeness. Carl said to Lin Qingyao.

Lin Qingyao thought for a while and said, "Later, Dean and the senior executives of the academy will definitely come, but I can't do anything about the whereabouts of the CEOs of those super groups, after all, this is not information I should know." ”

"Okay, I got it." Carl turned his head and whispered to Alfred, "Uncle, what do you think?" ”

"What else can you see? Be adaptable! You're too nervous, it's better to relax at this time. Alfred reached out and took a gold-plated cigarette case from his pocket, handed it to Carl and asked, "Smoke?" ”

"You know my uncle who doesn't smoke." Carl refused.

"Cut~~~ Sure enough, it's still a little ghost who hasn't grown up! I don't smoke. Alfred said disdainfully.
