Chapter 18: Ahh
Standing in front of the stove, Jiqi pressed his slender fingers against the back of the knife and the handle of the solid wood in his palm, quickly and accurately cutting the pieces of meat on the cutting board into slices of consistent thickness. The stove next to it was blazing, and the red oil in the pot was boiling and emitting thick smoke, and the unstoppable smell of chili peppers filled the entire kitchen, choking on the nose and into the heart and lungs. Ji Qi closed his breath tightly, looked at the bubbling hot oil, and prepared to pour the meat slices from the cutting board into the pot. This is the so-called welcome lunch for the new ship lady in the town guard mansion, Noah's Ark.
After waking up, from the mouth of Wales, he finally knew how he had come out of the abyss of death step by step. He never imagined that such a ship girl would exist, with incredible power to bring people back to life. Although the Almighty Library describes Noah's Ark as capable of saving all things as the great ship of salvation in the Bible. But the description of her special ability is a brush, just saying that she is a ship mother with a rarity of six stars, and the legendary Hindenburg and Lion battleships belong to the existence of the tip of the pyramid, and have a power that other ship girls do not have. And no one in the whole world has ever been able to have such a powerful ship girl, you can imagine how rare they are, to the extent that they are rare.
As a six-star ship, although Noah's Ark has no combat capabilities and is hardly equipped with any weapon systems, her special ability, the Contract of Life, has an irreplaceable effect. Linking his life to the Admiral.,When you die,,No effect on the Admiral.,And when the Admiral dies, he will disappear with him.,The seemingly unequal contract has a powerful effect.,It can resurrect the dead existence.,And can make the Admiral have the same lifespan as the ship girl in a human body.,Almost infinite.。 This is also an important reason why many admirals covet her. Who doesn't want to live forever, even emperors throughout the ages have been struggling to pursue the way to immortality, who can resist such a temptation?
Perhaps, that's good, too, Jiqi smiled. He is now a person with a girlfriend, and of course he wants to stay with his beloved, grow old together, and spend his life together. However, how can the life span of human beings be compared to the ship's mother, he has seen many ship's mother's tutors in the academy, they all came to the academy to teach in order to realize their own value after the admiral's death, and many of them are the admirals themselves died of old age, and they still have the same ageless appearance as they first met. Jiqi was also thinking at the time, if he had a ship girl in the future and liked her, would he have the same sorrow as those deceased admirals, "I was born before I was born, and I was old when I was born". Now it seems that he has an enviable length of life and enough time to spend with his beloved.
This should be the life I was looking forward to, Jiqi looked at the broth boiling on the stove, and his heart was satisfied.

restaurant
The short-haired girl devoured the delicious slices of boiled pork on the table, the entire bowl covered with a fiery red layer of oil, and the tongue-numbing, steaming chili peppers on top.
Slippery slices of meat mixed with hot soup burst out in the mouth, causing the girl to stick out her tongue and let out a coquettish cry of satisfaction. It seems that that old bastard is still very honest, he didn't deceive himself, the Admiral's cooking skills are really full marks, he has never eaten such a delicacy before, but now he can enjoy it alone, which is really good. Noah's Ark squinted, and the eyes of the clear stream were like crescent moons.
And the resentful Welsh on the side pinched the chopsticks and looked at her villainous appearance angrily. Since she was a British battleship, she didn't like spicy food, and she stayed away from things like chili peppers. Noah's Ark, on the other hand, liked this kind of tingling thing the most, so he asked the Admiral to make this delicacy for her to enjoy.
Watching the most delicious dish on the table being monopolized, Wales, as his girlfriend, was naturally unbalanced, as if half of his beloved things had been snatched away, and the other party was bouncing and showing off in front of him.
She chewed the delicious fried meat in the bowl as if she was angry, and looked at the girl who was sweating profusely, her eyes were full of resentment. If you hadn't saved the Admiral's life, I wouldn't have let the Admiral cook for you alone!" She kept complaining in her heart, and the eyes that looked at Noah's Ark became unfriendly, although there was no basis, Wales always had a feeling that Noah's Ark would most likely become her biggest competitor on the way to the secretary ship in the future. Out of a woman's intuition, she felt that the other party might be tempted by the Admiral, just like herself, completely fallen.
An excellent ship girl will attract countless admirals, and an excellent admiral will also unconsciously attract the attention of the ship girl, making them have an uncontrollable admiration. And Jiqi belongs to the latter, he is handsome, wearing a clean admiral uniform, like a handsome young general, with a surrendering temperament between his hands and feet. And when he smiles, it will make people feel like bathing in the spring breeze, like warm sunshine, which makes people yearn for it.
"Admiral, I want to eat such delicious meals every day in the future, is that okay?" Noah's Ark picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of boiled water to relieve the numbness of his tongue. She looked contented, thinking that it was the best thing she had ever tasted in her life, and that even those so-called five-star chefs could not compare.
"Of course, you can eat whatever you want in the future." Jiqi replied with a smile. He felt like a brother taking care of his sister for Noah's Ark, and she was a living being with him, and he would try his best to meet all her requirements.
"What about me, I also want the delicious food made by my dear." Wales looked at Noah's Ark with a smile on his face as if he were demonstrating, biting the word "dear" very clearly.
Hmph, don't forget, I'm the main palace now, and you, a little girl who just came, also want to usurp the throne, dream! Wales looked at Noah's Ark with a show off look in his eyes
"However, the boiled pork slices that the Admiral made for me today are delicious, but Sister Wales doesn't like to eat them." Noah's Ark, as a pampered eldest lady, is not a vegetarian, and she responds mercilessly in the face of the Welsh attack. She deliberately bit the word "with her own hands" very hard, and said that she didn't like to eat Jiqi's food, so as to destroy her image in the admiral's heart.
"Who said I don't like to eat the food cooked by the Admiral!" Wales responded loudly, with a "you slandered" expression.
"Ahh How about you try this poached pork slic? Noah's Ark smiled slyly, like a little fox who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and the tail behind him kept wagging and wagging behind him.
"Well, just taste it, just taste it." Wales stammered, and she bit her lip as she looked at the layer of chili oil floating in the bowl. Now she knows that she has fallen into the trap of the other party, but she cannot find an escape and finds herself in a dilemma. Wales didn't expect that Noah's Ark was not a character to be slaughtered, looking at her ignorant face, I thought she was a little sister with low emotional intelligence, but I didn't expect it to be a powerful character. Sure enough, I still underestimated her. She said indignantly in her heart.
And Jiqi on the side also sensed the-for-tat confrontation between the two and stood up to solve the siege. "Wales, as a British battleship, doesn't like to eat too spicy food, so don't mess with her on Noah's Ark."
"And if you want to eat anything in the future, tell me, as your admiral, I have the obligation to fill your stomachs." He laughs. Listening to the gunpowder-filled conversation between the two, he sensed a hint of danger. And what he can do now is to please both parties and not offend. After all, a girl who makes her heart move, and she has become her current girlfriend, who is destined to spend her life together. And the other is the ship's mother who saved her life, giving herself a chance to start over, and her cute and playful face has a feeling of pity like her sister. The palms and backs of both hands are full of meat, and leaning towards one side will make the other party sad.
What Jiqi hopes most is that the ship girls can live in peace, but when you think about it, you know that it is impossible. Each shipwreck has her own preferences, for example, Wales likes to eat braised pieces of meat, and Noah's Ark likes to eat spicy food. It is inevitable that people with different preferences will have some friction when they stay together, and what he can do is to act as a lubricant to eliminate these frictions invisibly.
The two looked at each other, snorted softly, and neither said a word. As a ship's mother, the Admiral's orders are very effective. It's like two ignorant children playing together, no matter how naughty they are, they will still show a scared look in the face of the majestic brother, and the admiral is the dominant existence, their expressions and behaviors will affect the ship girl in the subordinate position, and the younger the ship girl, the greater the impact. And Wales and Noah's Ark are both mature girls, and although they have a strong subjective will, they can't help but feel scared in the face of an angry Admiral.
This is the role of the contract, and it is also one of the ways for the Admiral to restrain the behavior of the ship girl, after all, the ship girl has incredible power, if no one can control them, the world would have been in shambles. And the existence of the deep sea is the best proof of this, they have the same suffocating power as the ship girl, and even more powerful than them. But no one could restrain their atrocities, and countless young admirals' lives disappeared into the endless depths of the sea.
Ji Qi stroked his forehead, sighed a little helplessly, looked at the two people who had temporarily stabilized, and had some headaches in the future. However, after this reminder, they should get along amicably. He comforted himself while eating.
