"It's very likely that the gift certificate was on Sister Lexington's body all along, not in the office drawer at all." "So we might as well take a look at the Admiral's New Year's gift for us." She gave up on the idea of looking for gift certificates, after all, Lexington, as the secretary ship of the town guard, could not have left such an important thing casually, and it must be in a place where they could not find it.

"Wait, the last page of this journal seems to have something written on it." Saratoga whispered in amazement, her blue eyes full of anticipation, as she carefully looked at the words in her diary. "It seems to be about gift certificates."

"Gift certificates? It says that the gift certificate is placed in the pocket of the Admiral's jacket, and the content of this contest is that the winner is the first to get the gift certificate without the Admiral's knowledge, and the winner can make any request to the Admiral with the gift certificate in his hand. Chu Xue, who poked her head out, read it word by word, and at the end of the reading, her big eyes were full of anticipation.

"In other words, it's a fair competition, and you can compete for gift certificates regardless of whether your name appears on the entry list or not." Fantasy said seriously, because in the rules of the competition, it is not written that non-list ship girls cannot participate, which means that she and Chu Xue are both eligible to participate.

"There's a small line down there." Saratoga snatched the notebook and whispered to the moonlight: "Non-participating shipwives can also participate, but the gift voucher shall not be used to make a request against discipline, otherwise they will be disqualified." ”

"Kazeki? What does that mean? Chu Xue asked with a serious face, she didn't understand the above regulations very well.

"The rules of discipline are the behavior of the ship's mother formulated by Sister Avant-garde and Sister Bismarck, which means that after the ship's mother who appears on the entry list gets the gift certificate, she can make a request such as asking the Admiral to spend the night in her room, or give a kiss, but if it is not the ship's mother on the entry list who gets the gift certificate, she can't make an overly intimate request." Fantasy looked for a worded explanation, after all, Hatsuyuki was just a destroyer mother who hadn't grown up, just like a little girl, unable to understand things that were too mature.

"Oh!" Chu Xue nodded as if she didn't understand, "It means that Sister Lexington can do whatever she wants the Admiral to do when she gets the gift certificate, and I can only make appropriate requests when I get the gift certificate, and I can't take this opportunity to have too much contact with the Admiral, right?" ”

"That's the way it goes, that's right." Saratoga nodded.

"However, it says that the gift certificate is in the admiral's jacket pocket, and the admiral has to get the gift certificate without the admiral's knowledge, which means that only those who can get close to the admiral can get the gift certificate." Fantasy said seriously, nodded slightly after speaking, and seemed to be thinking about something in his little head.

"No wonder my sister said that only the wedding ship has a greater chance of winning this competition, it turns out that this is the reason." Saratoga suddenly realized.

"But I remember that the date of the official match seems to be after noon tomorrow," Fantasy recalled what was written in his diary, "which means that the game has not officially started yet." ”

"And the Admiral seems to be spending the night in my sister's room tonight, so that special gift certificate must be in my sister's hand." Saratoga hammered his palm, as if to connect all the clues. "And tonight my sister will take this opportunity to put that gift certificate in the pocket of the Admiral's jacket so that she can prepare for tomorrow's game."

"And my sister will notify all the participating ship girls today, and I am the last one to know." The corners of Saratoga's mouth twitched, her face was a little ugly, if she hadn't pulled up the fantasy and the first snow tonight to find some special gift certificates, it was possible that the winner would be decided tomorrow, she didn't know what was going on.

"But I don't think you have much chance of winning Saratoga even if you know about it, after all, there are also Sister Lexington and Sister Wales participating in the competition like you, they are the closest marriage ships to the Admiral, and you are just a little sister-in-law wearing a wedding ring, and there is no possibility of competing with them at all." Chu Xue said bluntly.

After hearing these words, Saratoga's face turned a little pale, as if the player interface in the game had been declared dead by the system.

"What...... What is it called just a sister-in-law who wears a ring, my ring was given to me willingly by the Admiral, and it is not ...... I didn't force him to put it on me. Eventually, Saratoga's voice grew quieter and quieter, as if she had no confidence.

She recalled the scene when she spent the night at her brother-in-law's hotel, which was in line with what she did at the time, and her delicate face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Sister, do you have any reason to go to the commander tomorrow?" Tirpitz asked loudly with her little head poking out of the bed barefoot, looking at her sister sitting at her desk preparing her plans for tomorrow, her inky eyes filled with a little envy.

She didn't appear in the list of the second Admiral's Championship, although she had already guessed the result, but when she heard her sister say it herself, she still felt a little lost in her heart, like something was missing, and she didn't know what to fill it with.

Although she only had a few contacts with Jiqi after coming to the town guard's mansion, she still had a good impression of the young man who usually wore a gentle smile, after all, such a handsome, young and brave admiral was a rare existence, and she was also one of the many admirers, the coward who could only hide in the corner and peek.

She had also heard the story of Noah's Ark and Atago before, both of them were the shadows of the Admiral, who had been silently guarding behind him, and finally became one of the shipwives who had the closest relationship with the commander, and she was not even a shadow, at most she could only count as a note on his back, which would never be seen.

And although her sister is usually very rigid, after that date with the Admiral, her old-fashioned personality gradually softened, like ice meeting flames, slowly melting into water. If he could get his hands on that special gift voucher in this competition, Tirpitz had a strong premonition that his sister would be the next wedding ship.

"I've been thinking about it for so long, and I don't have any clue at all." Bismarck looked at the densely written white paper, and his face was a little distressed. If she was asked to deal with official documents, she would solve it cleanly, but let her think that these plans were 'conspiracy' for her, and she didn't have a way for a long time.

For Bismarck, going straight is what she is good at, and this kind of roundabout thing is a nightmare for her.
