“……”

Seeing the broadcast screen after the live broadcast, the Admiral still had a feeling of dreaming.

Just a few minutes ago, No. 111, who he had always remembered as a child who had not grown up, suddenly took on a completely different look.

It's completely different from when I was in Guam and Tianjing, with a sense of perversity and coldness. The look of walking on the red carpet as if he felt vaguely hostile to everyone, but didn't care at all, made the Admiral feel strange.

It's not a word that feels very sad or something that makes people feel lonely, but it's an emotion similar to a sudden feeling. The eyes chased after the cold and proud figure, watching her turn from the ground to a luxurious building, and did not say a second word until the live broadcast was completely over.

…… Have they all grown to this extent?

There is such a vague feeling in it.

"Just now, it was number 111 on TV, right?"

"yes."

“…… But then again, why is she on TV? ”

"Because she's in New Zealand, isn't that normal?"

Akula, who was sitting on the Admiral's lap, nibbled on the dried fruit that he didn't know where to go, and said casually.

"So, Admiral, you should pay more attention to your identity, you are the Governor of the Pacific? It is not an exaggeration to say that the Governor-General's Office of New Zealand is a national gift. ”

Akula, who was very well-behaved and did not disturb the Admiral, wiped his face with a tissue, and at this time he was slightly dissatisfied and put his head on the Admiral's chin.

"It's time for you, Admiral, to wake up. That's Sister 111, huh? If it is fake, it will replace the out-and-out No. 111 sister. ”

"It's completely different from the number 111 I remember, it feels like growing up in an instant."

It's only been less than two months.

Looking at the replay on TV, the Admiral touched Akula's head. There was a look of nostalgia on his face.

On TV, the host is using very exaggerated descriptions to express his excitement and yearning for No. 111 to the audience. In particular, the black military uniform has been highly praised, and there is even a tendency to say that it is to break the old style and lead the new era.

But the Admiral knew very well that it was just a sign made entirely for the sake of being handsome and not getting dirty. A group of people lived together in that bitter and uninhabited place of Guam, but it was very meaningful.

If you think about it, it seems that all of this was established at the time, if you had done it with your heart when you came to Guam directly from the Enterprise. Wouldn't it be better?

That's a memorable thing, isn't it nice that a lot of things have happened and a lot of things have been seen?

"Huh...... They came too late. So I don't know a lot of things, can the Admiral talk about it? ”

"Yes, it's kind of funny to think about that time when I was cheated on now."

Looking at the girl with a heroic posture and a solemn face on the screen. The Admiral smiled. began to tell the story of that time slowly.

In fact, it is not a year away. But when I look back, it's like more than ten years have passed. After graduating from the Naval Academy, he came to the most marginal island in the Pacific Ocean and lived a precarious life.

It was also during that time that the company and Sacramento were built, and it was also at that time that the relationship with several deep seas became more and more close. I thought I would spend it like this, but suddenly something urgent happened. The enterprise and Sacramento broke through to the Pacific Ocean with themselves, and came to Guam under the guidance of the North.

At that time, Guam could be said to be poor and white, and it was an incredible thing that human beings could survive.

There are no resources, no crops. The island is full of traces of artillery bombardment and rubbish and rubble that I don't know what it is.

Not even a few intact straws were found, and there were plants and animals distorted by high-intensity radiation everywhere. It's like hell on earth.

And to know. The building in it had been abandoned for nearly two hundred years, and when I saw that it was a decent town, the Admiral even felt that it was a miracle from God.

"But there was no choice at the time. If you want to survive, you can only use these things. ”

The Admiral hugged Akula with a nostalgic look on his face.

At that time, there was only one ship-made machine given by God, and there were some production machines given by God, and there was no human product on Guam.

But that's enough. Although the name of the Heavenly Authority is called the Flagship of the Northern Deep Sea, this does not prevent the Admiral from building Guam into his ideal home with great interest. Rather, for the sake of this dream, the Admiral has already put on everything he can get into.

Because he was deceived by the people of Tianjing and the town guard, he could only rely on all kinds of salvage and rely on the enterprise to attack with its own single ship to maintain the safety of the town guard. Even when necessary, the Admiral himself had to carry the repaired ancient man-portable missiles, stand on the dock under cannon fire and shoot into the deep sea. In many cases, the Admiral had to swim around and bring the unconscious business back to the Guardian's Mansion.

There are only two ship girls, and it was really hard when they were still supply ships. Thankfully, life has gotten better and better as time has passed.

The surrounding sea area was gradually cleared, and more and more newcomers came, and the future was becoming clearer and clearer.

Under the leadership of the Sea Tiger and the 001, the strength has also been honed more and more. All the shipwives perform their duties and fight for their own survival. Although the days were very difficult, everyone worked together to survive the most difficult time. And No. 111 also arrived at that time.

No. 111, who had just arrived, was still a kind and pure little girl who liked to be in the limelight. It has just appeared to be a high and low with the strongest enterprises in the fleet. And the shame is also very strong, because of some jokes and the skin has become thinner, often chasing a group of people all over the ground with red faces.

At that time, it should be the happiest time for the town guard, with partners and goals, being blinded in lies, everyone doesn't know what the outside world is like, and they don't know what their abilities are, but they are very happy when they defeat the deep sea and expand outward. often rejoiced at what knowledge he got by chance, causing a group of people to start watching and complaining or something.

However, happy times are always limited.

"And then the days after that became very painful, Tianjing's betrayal, knowing the truth, everything about the ship's mother, and everything about me."

Holding the silent Akula, the Admiral touched her little head and talked slowly about her past.

"At that time, I even felt that the whole world had betrayed me, and it didn't matter what happened to the whole world, I just wanted what I wanted."

"Everywhere to destroy, everywhere to blame, everywhere to create riots or even start to cause explosions. In the end, when they returned to Guam, they still shifted the blame to them. ”

"That's when you came. Knowing that you did nothing wrong, I threw all the blame on you, and then ran to a small place and hypnotized myself as a victim. ”

So, I feel sorry for you.

I want to give you all I have to repay you. I want you to have all the happiness in this world.

Because if you don't do this, you will feel more and more that you are an ugly person, and you will realize how much love and care you have.

If there is anything in this world that touches people, it must be the time when a man who has abandoned his home and then returned home from the ravages of society, and looked at his relatives and said, "Come back to dinner, I'll wait for you."

"Sometimes I think, how nice it would be if you showed me a little bit of selfishness?"

Placing Akula at his side, the Admiral looked at 111 with a smile on his face, a look of relief flashing across his face.

"A lot of times I think, is enough enough? It's time to let go, right? You're strong enough, aren't you? But every time I reflect, I feel like I'm not doing enough. ”

"How nice it would be if you were a bunch of selfish little girls, and I wouldn't have to go out of my way to help you. After all, I'm such a heartless scumbag, a coward who will run away when things happen. If it doesn't go my way, I'll just leave it alone. ”

"But you're so faithful that even the scum can't do such a thing. I don't even think that I have completely abandoned you one day, and when I see you when I am about to die of old age, you will still greet me with this face and continue to act under my orders. I'm scared of that future. ”

That's why they slept once every two days when they were in Guam, so they were forced to go back to sleep, otherwise it wasn't them who collapsed, but the Admiral himself who collapsed.

If you don't repay that trust and ignore the respectful feelings of these girls, it's better to die directly.

It was at that time that the Admiral thoroughly understood what a sense of responsibility was.

“…… So, does the Admiral still want to go back to that era? ”

After a while, Akula suddenly raised his head, looked at the Admiral, and said with a serious face:

"Admiral, do you still want to go back in time, to that time when everyone seemed to be happy, even though they were poor?"

"No, I don't want to."

The Admiral touched Akula's little head and shook his head firmly.

"I'm sure everyone is happier now, just like the current No. 111."

She must be happy now.

Looking at the unruly expression of Number 111 frozen on the screen, the Admiral touched Akula's head again, a satisfied smile on his face. (To be continued......)
