slum

"Have you heard, our corporate academy has posted a notice." The aunt carrying the vegetable basket whispered.

"Notice? What kind of notice? The aunt next to her asked curiously.

"It was in the deep-sea invasion battle that a commander from the slums successfully defeated the delusional fleet of the deep-sea in the past."

"Admirals from the slums? When did we have that kind of big guy here? ”

"It's the one who was unconditionally admitted to the Enterprise Academy before, the one whose mother died of illness." Aunt Basket looked around, and then said in a deep voice. "After that, he was admitted to the academy, but it seems that because of the problem of money, he has no way to live in the academy, so he can only come back every night."

"Yes, after all, the people who can enter the gate of that academy are all nobles who have money to spend, even if the principal exempts him from tuition, other expenses are not something he can afford."

"But we're also stained with him now, and it's said that because he managed to defeat the deep-sea fleet, the Governor's Palace decided to give us tax exemption here." Speaking of this, although the aunt's voice was quiet, it couldn't hide the joy in her heart at all.

"Tax-free? How long will it take? It won't be the same as the tax collector who ate his conscience last time, but he was exempted from taxes for a month. The aunt next to her asked cautiously, because she had been fooled once before, so this time she was also skeptical of such a great good thing.

"This time is different from the last time." The aunt waved her hand to say that she didn't have to worry, and continued in a sworn tone. "This notice is stamped with the seal of the Governor's Palace, and it is permanently exempt from taxes, and any taxes will be borne by the Governor's Palace."

"Tax-free forever?" The aunt next to her was a little unconvinced, "Is it real this time?" ”

"Of course it's true, the announcement has the seal of the Governor's Palace, which can't be faked." The vegetable basket aunt was categorical and patted her thigh to indicate that this matter must be true. "After all, the Governor's Mansion doesn't joke about this kind of thing, and I also heard that the current secretary general of the Governor's Mansion is the Commander's ship's wife."

"The Admiral? is an admiral who came out of the slums. ”

"That's right, so you can rest assured that this announcement is made." The vegetable basket aunt carried a full vegetable basket and walked slowly in the direction of her home.

"That's great, there is nothing left after paying taxes before, and now it is a great thing that you don't have to pay taxes."

"yes, who's to say it isn't."

The voices of the two aunts gradually disappeared into the alleyway, but they did not notice that a petite figure was hiding behind the broken wall, and secretly overheard the conversation between the two aunts.

She poked her head out quietly and muttered quietly. "The Slum Admiral who defeated the Deep Sea Fleet? Called...... Prayers? ”

She tilted her head and frowned, as if remembering the name that felt familiar to her, for she always felt as if she had heard them somewhere, as if someone had told her before.

"You're hungry, aren't you?" A young face appeared before his eyes, and a gentle voice was tinged with concern. "I see you've been squatting here every day because you haven't had anything to eat, right?"

The young man with a light smile slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand, and could clearly see in the moonlight that in the palm of his hand was a cut steel block, and there was a steel seal of the enterprise college on it.

"You're a ship girl, right, although I'm just a trainee admiral studying in the academy now, I can still clearly feel the smell of your ship girl." The boy groaned and thought in his heart how to explain his intention, it was not the first time he had met the poor little girl in front of him, and every day when he came home from the academy, he would see her squatting here, lonely, which made people feel heartache.

Later, he began to pay attention to the poor girl, only to find out that she was a ship's maiden, but the Admiral had not signed any contract with her. At that time, he remembered the story that his ship's mother had said, that is, some admirals would not sign a contract with the ship's mother after they were built because the ship's mother was too weak, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Could it be that such a poor girl is the kind of abandoned ship girl? He looked at the figure that did not speak, and had a guess in his heart.

"So as a trainee admiral, I can still give you some resources every day." He thought about it for a long time, and finally held back such words.

"Do you want to make a pact with me?" The squatting girl looked up, and there was no expression on her cold face, as if she was only indifferent to everything. "Want to sign a contract with an abandoned shipwreck like me?"

"Sign the contract?" The young man smiled and shook his head, "I'm not qualified to sign a contract with the ship's mother now, I'm just a trainee admiral, and I haven't graduated from the academy yet." If I graduate, I think I can sign a contract with you. ”

"You...... Is it still just a midship-apprentice? The girl looked up, and for the first time a faint expression appeared on her indifferent face, revealing disbelief.

"Yes, so the resources I can smuggle out of the academy every day are only a little bit, I hope you don't feel too little." The boy shoved the steel block into the girl's hand.

"Yes...... Steel blocks? The girl looked stupidly at the silver lustrous steel block in her hand and showed a bitter smile. Only one piece...... Is it? ”

"Yes, because I'm not that kind of aristocratic admiral, just a admiral who was admitted to the academy because of his talent, and I have to return to my home from the academy every day, because the accommodation fee of the academy is too expensive, and I can't afford it." Ji Qi explained with a wry smile that he knew that such a pitiful resource was too little even for the destroyer mother, let alone other ship girls who had high resource requirements.

"So...... Is the Admiral's home here? She muttered.

"Yes, because I'm a slum governor who is ridiculed." The boy said self-deprecatingly that he didn't care so much about his somewhat humble identity.

If you cared, you wouldn't insist on becoming a qualified admiral.

"Slum Admiral? A very powerful nickname. The girl pinched the one in her hand and lowered her head just now and whispered, not letting the gentle young man in front of her hear. So...... What is your name, Admiral? Although you are only a probationary admiral, you are the first admiral to care so much about me, so ...... Can you tell me your name? ”

"My name?" The boy stood up and pointed at himself, smiling and giving an answer. "My name is Jiqi, a collection of prayers from everyone, and that's where my name comes from."

"Set ...... Pray? The girl repeated, nodding slightly. Not only is the Admiral very handsome, but he is also very handsome. When the Admiral graduates, I'll go to the Admiral and sign a contract. Her last words were as soft as a slight wind, and they did not be heard by the young man who got up in front of her and was about to leave.

Because...... She felt that such a weak self was not worthy of being the initial ship mother of the gentle young man in front of her.
