night

Lexington finished sorting out the last document on his desk, rubbed his tired face, looked out the window at the scattered starlight, and sighed weakly.

This was the second day of the Admiral's disappearance, and the twenty-eighth day of the deadline to go to sea again to find the Admiral. When they returned to the town guard and opened the door of Noah's Ark with a heavy heart, they did not find the tragedy they imagined. The otaku girl who likes to nest in the room and play games still sits cross-legged in front of the PS4, staring intently at the wide screen and playing the game, without the slightest serious consequences after signing the contract of life - the ship's mother will also die after the admiral dies.

The only explanation for this was that the Admiral was alive and not dead, which was the only thing they wanted to believe. When Lexington took off the headphones on Noah's Ark and whimpered to tell her everything that had happened, the otaku girl who usually threw almost everything into the game comic stopped her movements in a daze, turned her head and smiled, and whispered to herself, "You must be joking, right, it must be like this." You are so powerful, how could you leave the Admiral there, how could it be! Eventually, she began to scream, slamming the gamepad she cherished to the ground, the hard plastic casing smashing through the gaps, revealing the electronics inside.

In fact, she also wanted to laugh and say that it was just an April Fool's joke. But that day was not April 1st, and it was not a joke but a fact. She just looked at Noah's Ark and nodded weakly, admitting that everything she said was true, and that the Admiral was gone.

At that moment, she felt a sense of powerlessness and disgust for herself that she had never felt before, a ship girl who guarded the mansion couldn't even protect her own admiral, this is naked dereliction of duty and incompetence, and in the end, she had to rely on the admiral as an exchange to survive, they would rather not have such a life.

But no matter how much she said it, no matter how nice it sounded, things had already happened, and as a secretary ship, she could only follow the orders of the admiral to become the new admiral of the town guard mansion, and take good care of everyone without doing stupid things.

After Jiqi left, every time he walked into this room in the center of the town guard's mansion and looked at the white military hat placed on the desk, Lexington would unconsciously think of the figure who used to get up early to make breakfast for everyone, the figure who accompanied him, the figure who only showed his gentle side to everyone and took all the responsibilities alone. But he was now gone, and she watched his back as she watched him go, but there was nothing she could do.

After that day, everyone in the town guard mansion changed, the Fukiyuki sisters wanted to go to sea together with Sirius every morning under the leadership of Prestige, and did not come back to finish their meal until the evening, and Hatsuyuki, who was usually the most lively, also became silent and did not like to talk, only after eating she would see her alone on the beach looking at the sea. Wales also suppressed the deep sea by herself, and after dinner, she would sit on the edge of the bed in a silent daze, doing nothing but quietly looking out the window at the starry sky. The avant-garde left, saying that he was going to the academy to find the ship's friends who had fought side by side with him in the past, and asked them to join the town guard mansion and prepare well for going to sea in a month. And his sister Saratoga has been working harder than ever before, and she is seen in the fleet that goes to sea every day, sometimes with the prestige and sometimes with Wales. Her biggest dream before was to become her brother-in-law from her sister-in-law, but now that her brother-in-law is gone, it has become a luxury to find him to enhance her relationship.

And he also took on his original responsibility, staying in the town guard mansion every day to deal with paperwork, cooking and waiting for the ship girls to come back. The rest of my free time is more about looking at the Admiral's hat in the bookcase, quietly reminiscing about the past and the past together.

The first time I met, the first time I talked to him at the beach, the first time I sang happy birthday songs to him, the first time I spent the night with him in the office, the first time I slept peacefully with him in my arms, and the first time I quietly watched him cook for himself seriously. But now these memories are like heavy stones pressed in the heart, making the originally alive heart die little by little, wither and wither little by little.

From the moment she met Jiqi, she never thought about what it would be like to lose him. But now this picture, which she had never imagined, has really appeared in her life.

With a feeble sigh, she took off the white military hat that covered her long hair, smoothed the brim with her slender fingers, and solemnly placed it in the bookcase, one of the things that Lexington had to do every day since he left. Although she didn't know the point of doing this, she stubbornly kept the hat in the town guard's mansion, which the Admiral himself had made her symbol, clean and tidy every day, smoothing out the wrinkles on it every day, which she was able to do as the current Admiral.

Jiqi, since you are not dead, why don't you come back? Have you forgotten your agreement with us? obviously said that he would come back alive, but since he was alive, why didn't he fulfill his promise? Lexington looked up at the full-length photo hanging on the wall, and behind him was the mighty sea, with white seagulls flying in the clear blue sky. It was a gift specially prepared for him by the avant-garde after Jiqi came.,I wanted to give him a big surprise after returning from going to sea.,But I didn't expect to encounter the biggest despair in the deep sea for the first time I went to sea - Deep Sea Habitat Ji.,The boss existence that destroyed countless town guard coefficients.。

Meeting her was like a bolt from the blue, and in the end, this gift that should have belonged to Jiqi did not become his gift in the end, but just an ornament hanging on the wall, an existence that can only be used as a support, just like something that exists for whom, if even that person is gone, then what is the point.

She looked at the young man smiling at her in front of her in a daze, the black kimono on her body swaying in the sea breeze, like a blooming black lotus, making people feel the light fragrance. This is a photo of avant-garde her hiding behind and secretly taking a photo on the beach when Jiqi was not paying attention, and it is also his most handsome moment, not one of them. She smiled stupidly at the whole face, bitter and weak, like a child who had lost everything, and tears began to flow into her eyes.

Admiral, why don't you come back? If you don't die, if you can't come back, I will take my sisters to the sea to bring you back, bring back you, the irresponsible admiral who did not fulfill his promises, and then lock you up in the town guard mansion forever, and you will never want to leave us! Lexington clenched his hands, hard and hard. I'm sorry Admiral, I can't keep my promise to you, take good care of everyone and don't make a fool, because without you, you will no longer be a town guard, so no matter what you give, after twenty-eight days, I will take all my sisters and bring you back, even if you are all destroyed in the deep sea, at any cost! She stared at Jiqi's picture, her sea-blue eyes flashing with determination and unflinching.
