During dinner, Yan Feng explained in detail the reason for this outing, and promised to return to the town guard mansion to accompany them in the shortest possible time.

Although the little ones are still very reluctant, they also accept this fact with the comfort of the big sisters.

Then Yan Feng hugged Firefly and Keelin and continued to announce the candidates for going out, except for Yixian, who had already been decided, the other ship girls were nervous.

Yan Feng didn't sell it when he saw the girls' expressions, and directly named the names of the Royal Ark and King Kong, and explained the reason for bringing them.

Although the girls who were not selected were disappointed, they didn't dwell too much on this issue after listening to the Admiral's explanation.

After all, the number of sisters in the town guard mansion is relatively large now, and it is impossible for the admiral to bring too many people with him when he goes out.

King Kong, a silly girl, was very happy to hear that she could go out with the Admiral.

She hurriedly planned to return to the dormitory and start packing her luggage under the envious gaze of the little fat man, but was stopped by the crying and laughing dragon.

"What are you anxious about, the Admiral hasn't decided when to leave."

The silly girl came back from her excitement and scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Hehe, sorry, I'm so excited."

The Royal Ark looked very calm, and she just responded with a faint smile to the congratulations of the sisters around her.

After that, she asked VV to take care of the café when she was out.

Naturally, the coffee lover VV promised that he would help him run the coffee shop while the Royal Ark was away.

"And Admiral, when are you going to go?" Finally, Washington asks this crucial question.

The little ones also looked at their admiral, hoping that he would stay with them for a few more days.

Yan Feng touched the blonde hair of the big mackerel and the shooting fish beside him, and said apologetically, "Tomorrow I will pack my luggage and arrange the things of the town guard, so I should set off the morning after tomorrow." ”

The little Lolitas were relieved to hear that they would set off the day after tomorrow, so they were in a hurry to set off tomorrow.

The little ones, led by Raffi and Fantasy, looked at each other, and made up their minds that they must let the Admiral play with them for a day tomorrow.

Zeppelin looked at their actions and smiled, "I know what you're thinking, but tomorrow morning's class will still be as usual, and the Admiral shouldn't be available in the morning anyway." ”

"Got it~~" The children replied in unison after hearing Mr. Zeppelin's words.

When Yan Feng decided to go out again, Nagato and the others, who were far away in Jiepen, had just finished their visit to Yokosuka Academy Takeshita Shigeji.

Shigeharu Takeshita expressed a warm welcome to Nagato's visit, and when he saw Taiho and Shinano, he also sighed at the speed of progress in the strength of the homeland town.

After chatting with the old man for a while, Nagato and the others unexpectedly got a valuable clue.

"Kiyomori County...... I didn't expect to get possible information about the sisters so easily. After returning to the dormitory, Mutsu sat down on the low table and said with interest.

Nagato gently touched the soft hair of Shimafu, who was already asleep in his arms, and looked at Shinano and Taiho and began to make arrangements.

"Next, let's go our separate ways, and Mutsu and I will follow the clues to Kiyomori with Island Wind."

"Taiho and Shinano, the two of you go all the way to the Kansai region, and on the way to the trip, ask if there is any news of the sisters, and keep in touch on the way."

Dafeng curled the long red hair hanging down his shoulders with his fingers and nodded, "Okay, you two should also pay attention to safety with the island wind, I heard that there are a lot of perverted loli control in Jiepen." ”

Mutsu smiled lightly, "We're all ship girls, are you afraid of those perverts?" If anyone dares to harass us, see if I don't teach these scum a good lesson. ”

Since it was decided to split up, Nagato divided the travel expenses given to them by the Admiral into two equal parts, and gave one of them to Taiho.

"Although I'm still more at ease with you and Shinano, I'll remind you, try to save a little money, don't spend money lavishly, and it will be a shame to be like Akagi Kaga and them when the time comes." Nagato said earnestly.

Dafeng nodded solemnly after carefully collecting the travel expenses, "Don't worry, Nagato, we are not those two people who have a hobby of eating and drinking, we have lived outside for nearly a year, and we still have a lot to spend." ”

Shinano agreed, "That's right, but don't you three need to share a little more?" It's okay to save some money to buy some toys and snacks for Kojimafeng. ”

"We appreciate your kindness, but the Admiral originally gave us a lot of travel expenses this time, and even if you add the island wind along the way, it is completely enough."

Nagato smiled and rejected the kindness of the two, for the thrifty her, the money she received from this outing was enough.

Besides, Shimafeng is also a sensible child, so he won't add much burden to them.

The next morning, after saying goodbye, the two sides began to go their separate ways.

Taiho and Shinano boarded a train to Edo, and they planned to go to the largest city in the Kanto region to see if they could get some information.

Nagato and Mutsu went to the pier by themselves, holding Shimakaze's hand, and they prepared to take a boat directly to Kiyomori Prefecture.

After confirming the information provided by Shigeharu Takeshita, he returned by land, and finally met with Taiho Shinano and the others in Yokosuka City.

"Sister Nagato, do you think the two people Grandpa Takeshita said this time will be them?"

After boarding the boat, Shimakaze tilted her little head and asked cutely at her favorite sister Nagato besides the Admiral.

Nagato touched Shimakaze's hair with a shallow smile and replied, "It's hard to know for sure right now, but it's quite likely." ”

"Hee-hee~" Mutsu smiled playfully, and then said, "Two sisters with unusually plump bodies?" I didn't expect the elders of Takeshita Academy to be old-hearted. ”

Nagato said amusedly, "Don't say that, Principal Takeshita just relayed the information he heard to us in its original form, which doesn't mean that he thinks so in his heart." ”

"Hmph~ It's hard to say, didn't I hear the Admiral say that Fan Pengwu, the head of the Zhouchuan Admiral Academy, is an old man? I don't think it's a serious guy to be friends with that old man for decades. ”

Mutsu said meaningfully with a subtle expression on her face, she didn't believe that Shigeharu Takeshita was really as dignified as he appeared on the outside.

"Well, these things are none of our business, besides, as two veterans who have defended the coastal waters for 11 years, even if they have some strange hobbies in private, they don't affect anyone else anyway."

Nagato, who has a more old-fashioned personality, can't say that he is a sharp-tongued sister, so he can only shake his head and stop the topic.

A small mountain village in the northeast of China on the border with the country of Mao Xiong.

At this time, it was already snowing heavily, and a thick snow-white carpet had been laid on the ground, and there were even traces of ice on the road in some places.

In a large house in the village, which had been vacant, the Prince of Wales and others were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, and began to talk about the adventure with palpitations.

"Whew...... Fortunately, we managed to find this small mountain village before the resources were exhausted, otherwise we would have really gone dormant in the wild. Nelson patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Prestige still smiled and said, "But we finally managed to escape from the woolly bear country, and the village chief here also kindly lent us the big house vacated by the villagers, it seems that we will temporarily live in this village until the snow stops." ”

"Anyway, why are there so many empty houses in all these villages we pass through?" Javelin tightened the cotton clothes he had borrowed from the villagers and asked curiously.

London touched her little head and said that Javelin was relieved of his doubts: "Because it is so bitter cold here, many people probably can't stand this kind of life, and move to a warmer and more comfortable place to live in the south." ”

"In any case, we can survive this crisis safely, which can be regarded as the Commander's blessing. Sister, you can't be so reckless in the future! Rodney reassured himself and admonished his sister.

"Alright, alright! I know, I'll definitely think twice about it in the future. Nelson raised his hand in surrender when he heard his sister's preaching.

While looking at the sleepy purple quartz, black-backed jackal, and the queen of heaven, he smiled softly and said to Nelson, "Nelsonqing, you should really pay more attention in the future, next time if the matter involving the admiral is still so reckless, I am afraid that many sisters in the town guard mansion will not let you go." ”

The Soviet Union ignored the bickering of a few people, and looked directly at the Prince of Wales and asked.

"What are we going to do next, do we leave the village as soon as it snows, or do we stay here a little longer?"

"Hmm...... If we don't have warm clothes and go on the road like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make it go far in the bitter cold, so let's live in the village for a while, and ask how it interacts with the outside world. The Prince of Wales replied after thinking carefully with his chin in his hand.

The Soviet Union nodded approvingly, and then began to chat quietly with Kirov beside him.

Kent was already hugging the little ones and dozing off against the wall.

Nelson lay back on the bed and sighed, "Huh...... But how can we buy these cotton clothes that we are borrowing? We don't think we have enough money to travel now, right? ”

"It's true that we now have just enough money to travel for a train ride, and our food and clothing during our stay in this village is also a problem." The prestige who managed the money nodded in answer Nelson's question.

The Prince of Wales looked at his sisters with sad faces and came to a conclusion.

"Anyway, now let's have a good night's rest, and tomorrow we will go to the village and ask if we can work to meet the needs of our daily life."
