Chapter Eighty-Eight: Lovely Girls
Jiqi walked in the darkening streets, surrounded by dense shade of trees, and the verdant green foliage sliced through the night lights. The lovely maiden took the warm hand of her own admiral, and jumped to the front, humming a cheerful tune in her mouth, her aqua blue hair glowing in the shadows.
Saratoga followed behind with a resentful face, and she pouted as she looked at the new little girl, her eyes filled with envy and jealousy. Noah's Ark, who was standing next to her, looked indifferent, anyway, the ownership of the Admiral tonight was still firmly in her hands, and the loss was only temporary, not a big deal. Lexington and Wales followed them, twisting their heads and looking around, the darkness of the surroundings almost entirely filled with abandoned factories and old houses, crumbling bricks swaying in the evening breeze. And the avant-garde and prestige of the old friends who have seen each other late walk at the back, and they are close to each other and whisper as if they are discussing something.
"Prestige, are you really not going to join our town guard?" The avant-garde frowned, as if he didn't understand the stubbornness of his old friend.
"I'll see what I'm talking about." The maid shook her head and smiled lightly, she looked at the thin figure at the front, and there was an unknown light in her heterochromatic pupils. In fact, she knew that this admiral, who had made this frighteningly high-minded secretary general, almost impossible to find, and it seemed that once she missed it, she would never be again. But she always had a feeling of unsteadiness in her heart, as if all this was a sweet dream she had in her sleep, and it could be shattered at any time. Maybe it was because of that little bit of feeling that she didn't take the last step.
"Are you scared?" The avant-garde whispered that she knew that the man had left an indelible mark in their hearts, like a knife chiseled, and even if the years passed, the traces were still clearly visible. She should be afraid of prestige, afraid that this admiral will also have a cold side, afraid that she will also be abandoned one day.
"One thing," prestige did not shy away, "after all, the figure of that man has always remained in our hearts, and even if we have come into contact with the contract, what we have experienced will still remain in our memory." In fact, I would have wondered what would have been the situation if I hadn't met him at that time, whether I would have wandered alone on the sea or stayed in the warm town guard mansion to make breakfast for my admiral. But to experience it is to experience it, and you can never deny its existence. She looked up at the sky, and at this moment there were already a few fireworks bursting in the night sky as bright as a chessboard, one by one blooming in the dark night and then falling.
"That's why you didn't sign a contract with the Admiral?"
"I want to ...... Let's take a look.,Anyway, I'll stay in the town guard mansion with the blowing snow sisters.,There are still more opportunities to sign a contract in the future.,There's no need to worry.。 ”
"Really? Whatever you want, I won't regret it anyway, this is the Admiral I have been looking for for a long time, and I will not wait and see like you. The avant-garde snorted, she couldn't say anything about the choice of prestige, after all, she was discouraged at the time and took the rest of the ship's mother away and flew away, and it seemed that she had no intention of coming back. And now the avant-garde only hopes that she can become the Admiral's ship mother with her as soon as possible and find this final destination.

At this time, fireworks are in full bloom in the night sky, and they are in full bloom in the starry sky.
"Lord Admiral, you see the fireworks in the sky are so beautiful, why don't you take your sisters to watch the fireworks show later." Blowing Snow heard the brilliant sound of fireworks blooming in the sky, and suddenly looked up, countless flowers blooming in her pink eyes, like neon. She happily pulled Jiqi to make a suggestion.
"Okay, the Admiral will take you to the park in the center of the city to see, and I will take you to taste all the snacks around." Jiqi rubbed the girl's little head dotingly and said with a smile.
"Really? Lord Admiral. The girl looked up expectantly.
"Of course it's true, Admiral, I never lie, whatever I say is what I say." Jiqi swears and gives assurances.
"Blowing Snow has always believed in this Admiral," the girl nodded vigorously and smiled happily, "Because my sister used to have a hard time taking us with us, we almost never went out to eat, and my sister made it for us at home." So it was a pleasure to hear the Admiral's promise. She bowed her head slightly, as if remembering bad memories from the past.
"Is that so?" Ji Qi's voice also softened, he could imagine the hard life of a person with several younger sisters, and his mother was the same in the past, living carefully every day, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, everything had to be recorded in a notebook, to ensure that there was no extra expenditure. Compared to them, they have to plan for tomorrow every day, worry about their future life, and worry about whether the gangsters will come to the store to make trouble, whether there will be more customers, and everything has to be considered. Reality was like a mountain, pressing on the thin shoulders of this girl. He sighed and took her hand harder. "When you get to the town guard mansion in the future, tell the admiral what you want, and the admiral will take good care of your sisters." His voice was soft but firm. Just like he said, he never lied to people, he was what he said, especially his promise to his ship's mother.
"Thank you, Admiral, thank you." The girl's voice choked, when the four sisters were built, they thought that what was waiting for them was the admiral and the warm town guard's mansion, but what was left for them was indeed ruthlessly abandoned. She still remembered the back of the cruel departure, the back of the one who never looked back, and just threw their sisters by the builder, without asking. She took a deep breath, her nose twitching, and wiped away tears from her sleeve. Now that she has seen hope and felt the tenderness of the Admiral, she should smile happily and not think about the past. She looked up and smiled like a pear blossom after the rain.
Ji Qi was stunned to see that this sensible and obedient girl did not speak, he slowly stopped, opened his hand and held her in his arms, his body as soft as willow catkins trembled slightly in his arms, as if he had never felt such tenderness. "It's okay to blow the snow, the Admiral will definitely protect you well in the future, I swear." He approached the girl's ear, and his voice was as deep as steel.
Fuyuki didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand to hug Jiqi's neck, pillowed his head on his shoulder, and said in his heart with peace of mind, "I've always believed in the Admiral, and it always has been." ”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
At the end of the road, Jiqi saw the house that the maidens called home. It's a dilapidated church, with wooden doors that have been eroded by time, and a single piece of wood can be unscrewed off on it with a slight force. Looking past the main entrance, the dim lights flickered on the leaky roof, and the lights were densely lined with wooden beds, and the cute girls were sitting around the beds playing card games by the lights, and the laughter was scattered throughout the room.
"Deep snow and deep snow, you lost again!" The girl with a single ponytail happily threw away the cards in her hand, and stood on the bed with her hands held high, her brown coat tied around her waist as triumphantly as a cloak.
"How...... How can it be. The girl in the turquoise blue pleated short skirt pinched the cards in her hand, sat down and muttered stupidly, her little eyes full of grievances.
"Don't bully your sister at the beginning of the snow." The girl in a white witch costume sitting next to her struck the knife directly on the head of the first snow, like a pouring rain that instantly extinguished the opponent's arrogance. Then he turned around and showed a gentle expression, comforting his sister softly.
"Huh? My sister is back! The white-haired girl in the quilt suddenly pointed out the door and shouted, the originally empty courtyard was already full of people at the moment, she jumped off the bed when she heard the sound, and her white and tender little feet ran out with small lilac leather shoes, and her delicate face was full of smiles.
"Really? Is my sister back? Chu Xue, who was still squatting and holding his head a moment ago, suddenly raised his head, suddenly regained his former vitality, and jumped off the bed suddenly, the blue scarf tied to his chest fluttering in the wind.
"Don't run so fast in the first snow and the first snow, be careful of falling." The shrine maiden sister shouted in the back, and finally sighed helplessly and came out of the house with her sister.
The silver-haired curly-haired girl who came out at the end was expressionless, and there was no fluctuation on her face. Her slender and slender figure was elongated in the moonlight, and her delicate face wore an eye patch, revealing purple eyes.
"Sister Prestige, this is ...... Our Admiral? The white-haired girl who rushed to the front looked at Jiqi who was holding Blowing Snow with a look of surprise, and looked at the maid sister behind him with inquiring eyes.
"Is that what it is...... The admiral that my sister brought back? Hatsuyuki, who arrived secondly, stepped on red and white sneakers, rushed to Jiqi, looked at the eldest sister who was struggling to get out of her arms, and widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm your Admiral, if you will." Jiqi squatted down and looked at the group of cute girls in front of him, revealing a gentle smile.
"Sister is real...... Are you sure? Deep Snow plucked up the courage to ask in a whisper.
"We ...... Do we have a Commander too? Bai Xue, who was wearing a witch costume, pinched the corner of her clothes and said stunned.
"Of course, this is our future Admiral." Fukiyuki, who was dressed in a maid's suit, coughed a few times to indicate his quietness, "Although Lord Admiral is very gentle, you can't be naughty, especially Hatsuyuki. My sister directly named her, so that the energetic first snow instantly withered.
"Hey, how can my sister say that, obviously I'm the most obedient one." She pouted in displeasure.
"But...... Sister Chuxue every time she ...... Bullied me every time. Deep Snow, who was hiding behind Bai Xue, spoke in a low voice.
"What, that's not the case." Hatsuyuki's face turned pale.
"It's okay, I believe Chu Xue must be the most well-behaved." Jiqi rubbed her head and gave encouragement.
"Well, sure enough, the Admiral is a good person." Hatsuyuki rubbed her cheek sideways like a kitten. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, raised her head to look at the two girls standing next to the maid's eldest sister, and asked in a low voice, "Then the Admiral is also willing to be the Admiral of Fantasy and Sirius Sister?" They are also very well-behaved and will definitely be obedient. She said timidly, in a tone of pleading.
Jiqi turned his head to look at the girl standing next to him who didn't speak, and stretched out his hand hidden under the sleeve of his kimono, "Are you also willing to be my ship's wife?" He watched silently and waited.
Fantasy pinched the gray hair hanging down from his chest, looked back at the prestige who didn't speak, and seemed to ask her opinion.
"You can decide for yourself, you don't have to ask me." Prestige chuckled and replied, "Choosing an Admiral is a matter of life, so don't run away if you want to." "Although she is their sister, she is not qualified to speak in this matter, it is their own decision, and they can only choose for themselves.
"Then I'm the destroyer Fantasy, no ship can be faster than me, it's nice to meet you, Commander." The white-haired girl was stunned and still put her hand into Jiqi's hand, her slightly cold hand was close to the warm palm, and the orange eyes on her face were curved like crescent moons.
"Air defense cruiser, Sirius. Rest assured, I won't let any enemy get close to the commander. The slender figure leaned forward slightly, with a faint fragrance. Although there was no look of joy on her face, Jiqi's smile was reflected in her purple pupils.
