"The fireflies didn't know me at all, and I shouldn't have thought of everyone at that time......"

"Admiral, don't you remember how the Town Guard Mansion disappeared?" The Prince of Wales suddenly interrupted Chu Yang's words.

There had always been a question in her mind as to why the town guard had disappeared overnight, and without anyone knowing. And she also asked the fireflies, but even after the disappearance of the town guard, the only firefly left on the island couldn't figure it out, and even the little girl couldn't even tell the specific location of the island.

All along, the Prince of Wales had a feeling that the Admiral had something to do with it, and that the Admiral must have known the whole thing.

"I don't know."

"Don't you really know? I still know but I don't want to say it. The Prince of Wales' voice rose sharply an octave.

"I really don't know." What Chu Yang said was categorical.

He really has nothing to say about this matter, just because it's too unbelievable, besides, if he tells the truth of the matter, it is equivalent to completely denying the past of the shipwives under his command, and it will not be of any benefit to them.

"Admiral, you go on."

The Prince of Wales did not dwell on this issue any longer. Although she knew exactly that the Admiral was lying, it didn't matter, and perhaps as Lexington said, ignorance was bliss, and if she continued to be more serious, it would only hurt both sides.

Just yesterday afternoon, the Prince of Wales had a long conversation with Lexington, because she had so many doubts in her mind.

The years of life in the town guard were like a dream, and she remembered every expedition, every exercise, Saratoga smashing her window, the fireflies that would always haunt her, telling her stories about the sea, and the swimsuit that the Admiral gave her...... In short, she remembered a lot of things, but compared to those long days, these things were just bits and pieces of life, just some incomplete, intermittent memories, and even a tenth of the whole life did not take up a tenth of the length. But no matter how hard she tried to think about it and remember, she couldn't remember anything else in the town guard's mansion.

But is it possible? For their ship mothers, although they do not have the ability to forget, everything they have experienced will always leave some deep or hidden imprints in their minds.

In the past four years since she left the town guard mansion, as long as she wants, she can recall most things, even some trivial things. But she really can't remember too much about the years in the town guard's mansion. Even sometimes, she wondered if that past was true or not.

And when she threw all these questions to Lexington, she got such an answer.

"If you can't think of it, you can't remember it, are there fewer strange things in the town guard mansion?"

"The Admiral is obviously not in the town guard mansion, but every once in a while, a shipwreck will come out of the shipyard, who woke them up?"

"When we went out on the expedition before, no matter how dire the situation, did any of us ever sink?"

"There are so many drills every day, and there are many ships that are stronger than us, where do they come from?"

"Why did Bismarck, the deep-sea flagship of the Danish Strait, come back to life eight times a day?"

……

"Can you answer me these questions, Prince of Wales?"

At that time, after Lexington asked, the Prince of Wales was silent.

Oh, yes! Now that I think about it, there was so much of it in the old town guard's mansion. In the past few years, although she and Veneto and the others have been staying in Blanca, and have not really integrated into the circle of the ship's mother, in the first year after leaving the town guard mansion, in order to find a way back to the town guard mansion, they have also wandered around the world, what they have seen, heard, and experienced less things?

What's wrong with the ship's mother? It was the Admiral who awakened them through the shipyard, and without the Admiral's spiritual power and the resonance of the battleship heroes in the wreckage of the battleship, it would have been impossible to build them, but in their town guards, in the absence of the Admiral, they just walked out one ship after another, Richelieu, Bismarck, Tirpitz, Washington, Andrea Doria, Veneto, Lion, Enterprise, Missouri, avant-garde, war-weary...... How can this be explained?

And as far as the Prince of Wales knows, there are countless ship girls who are sunk by deep-sea ship girls every year, and even the five yuan of the Navy Headquarters have fallen a few, not to mention these ship girls who are not even admirals in their town. But how can it be explained that they were able to drag their scarred bodies out of the enemy's encirclement after repeated defeats, and not a single one of them sank?

I remember that when they first arrived at the town guard, they had to practice more than 20 times a day, there were shipwives who were weaker than them, and there were many shipwives who were stronger than them, and even many of them were admiral-level shipwives, where did they come from? It stands to reason that such a powerful ship girl shouldn't be all nameless, but after leaving the town guard mansion, she hasn't heard of any of them, how can this be explained?

There was a time when they had to go to the Danish Strait every day to carry out missions, not to mention sinking the deep-sea Bismarck eight times a day, even once a day, which was very unreasonable. You must know that in this world, after being sunk, it often takes a long time for all flagship-level deep-sea ships to be resurrected again, even if it is a model worker like Yamato, it is impossible to resurrect so frequently. To paraphrase Hood's words, are you a cricket deep-sea Bismarck is a small powerhouse?

In addition, the former town guard mansion was so powerful, and there were so many ship girls. Not to mention that the town guard mansion commanded by Emperor Ou can't be compared, even those few times that have experienced the stormy era in the eighties of the last century are still standing, and the governor's mansion that has survived to this day is not comparable. But such a powerful town guard mansion, but there is no record in this world, and no admiral and ship lady knows, as if it never appeared, what does it mean?

The Prince of Wales really shuddered at the thought of this, but Lexington's words completely calmed her heart.

"No matter how you look at it, no matter how you think about it, there are too many unreasonable places in the previous town guard mansion, and it is extremely weird."

"Or maybe the Admiral is hiding something, but what does it matter?"

"All I remember is that he's our Admiral, and he's back with us, that's enough, let it pass!"

When he said the last sentence, Lexington's face was full of inexplicable look and full of happiness.
