"Hmm, Missouri suddenly remembered that there are still things to do today."
"Oh, in that case, you should go quickly!" Fubuki and the other three quickly stood up and bowed to Missouri in gratitude. "Thank you for today, Missouri-neechan!"
Missouri bid farewell to the destroyers and left the pavilion.
After seeing off the satisfied destroyers, Missouri walked home and glanced down at her watch.
“I accidentally spent thirty minutes telling a story… Honestly, I couldn’t help but talk a bit too much when it involved the Admiral. Ten minutes left… Hmm, that’s plenty of time.” Missouri breathed a sigh of relief. “Finally, I can go home…”
"Missouri!!!"
Before Missouri could finish speaking, a loud shout rang out from behind him.
Missouri's shoulders twitched, but she pretended not to hear and quickened her pace, walking away quickly.
Unfortunately, the footsteps behind him were hurried and approaching Missouri at an extremely fast speed.
Missouri knew she couldn't avoid it, so she sighed helplessly, stopped, and turned around to look behind her.
The ship girl Hindenburg came running excitedly from afar.
Missouri!!!
"Oh, it's Hindenburg, what can I do for you...?"
"fight!!!"
"...Does it mean a practice exercise or friendly sparring session?"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!!!" Ship girl Hindenburg jumped excitedly, her long, fluffy gray hair flying in the wind. "It's time! It's a date! We're fighting today!"
Missouri looked at Hindenburg with anticipation and remembered the promise she and Little White had made to each other to go to the training grounds for a good fight every now and then.
This agreement was made in the name of the Admiral.
For the sake of the admiral's honor, Missouri couldn't back out.
"……Ugh."
Missouri rubbed her forehead, a rare look of helplessness on her face.
"This is really... incredibly unlucky..."
"Only ten minutes left... huh..."
"..."
Missouri lowered his hand, and his gaze toward Hindenburg gradually turned cold.
“Senior Hindenburg,” Missouri said.
"What's up!"
"Missouri will be a bit harsher later, please bear with her."
"Yay!!" Hindenburg raised his hands and shouted excitedly.
……
A New Jersey resident returned home with a donut dangling from his mouth and a bag of snacks in his arms.
Her white socks from New Jersey stomped silently on the floor, and her long blonde hair swayed silently with each step, like shimmering golden waves.
When New Jersey returned to the living room, the first thing she saw was Little White in the center of the room.
She stood there, holding a bag of snacks, quietly watching the admiral who was tightly bound to the chair.
"..."
New Jersey tilted her head in confusion. She walked up to Xiaobai, leaned down to look at Xiaobai's face, and then turned her head to look at the sofa next to her.
On the sofa, Tirpitz was fast asleep, clutching a picture book.
New Jersey straightened up, his eyes full of doubt.
Blah blah blah...
The New Jersey maneuver made the kraft paper snack bag crunch.
"Missouri? Are you still there?" Just then, Little White on the chair spoke up.
New Jersey turned to look at Little White. She blinked, thought for a moment, took a small cookie from the snack bag, and held it to Little White's lips.
When Xiaobai felt a strange touch on her lips, she instinctively shrank her neck. However, she quickly licked her lips and found that what touched her mouth was sweet cookie crumbs. She then roughly understood what was going on and opened her mouth to bite the cookie that New Jersey had handed her.
"Missouri? Did you go buy sweets?" Little White asked, chewing on a cookie.
New Jersey didn't say anything, but simply grabbed a piece of bread from the snack bag, tore off a small piece, and put it into Little White's mouth.
"Mmm, mmm..."
Xiao Bai ate the bread and chewed it.
"Thank you... It's delicious."
Little White swallowed the bread and smiled slightly at Missouri in front of him.
New Jersey put down the snack bag. She wanted to grab Little White's hand and pat her head as a reward, but she soon discovered that Little White's hand was tied behind her back with a red string.
New Jersey pouted unhappily.
In a fit of anger, she sat down on the floor, pressed herself against Xiaobai's legs, rested her head on Xiaobai's lap, and rubbed her face against Xiaobai's pants.
Close your eyes.
Being in New Jersey with Xiaobai felt like being back inside the construction device, comfortable and peaceful.
New Jersey's breathing calmed down.
quickly.
New Jersey drifted off to sleep on Little White's lap.
Chapter 2258 Missed the Show
"Rumble, rumble————"
A violent explosion occurred on the water surface of the training ground, sending water soaring into the sky before crashing down.
The ship girls watching exclaimed in amazement.
"oh----"
"Missouri is so strong! She crushed Hindenburg in just one round!"
"This is the first time I've seen Missouri go to such lengths!"
"Her fighting style today is different from before. She used to fight very politely, but today her fighting style is exactly the same as Rodney's."
"..."
The ship girls watched the grand spectacle unfold at the training ground.
The light rain gradually stopped, and the mist on the training ground slowly dissipated, revealing Missouri's figure in the ship girls' field of vision.
Missouri, carrying the ship's equipment, was panting heavily. The water from the exercise field had soaked her clothes, and her pretty face was stained with soot and grime, making her look somewhat disheveled.
However, compared to the somewhat disheveled Missouri, Hindenburg across from her was in a much worse state.
Hindenburg lay motionless on the water, spread-eagled, with her ship's rigging shattered behind her and fragments of clothing floating on the surface. She appeared to have been knocked unconscious by the bombing.
"Logistics team! Where's the logistics team?! Don't just stand there, come and get them!"
The ship girls who were watching quickly called out to the shore.
"Come on, come on!"
The logistics team composed of destroyers quickly stepped onto the sea, set up stretchers to carry Hindenburg ashore, and then took out ship-mounted repair equipment to begin the repair work on the spot.
Seeing Hindenburg's tragic end, the onlookers, ship girls, marveled.
"This is truly a crushing defeat..."
At this moment, Missouri, who was on the sea, also wobbled back to the shore. The first thing Missouri did after getting ashore was to look down at the watch on her wrist.
As expected of the former ace ship girl of the military police, Hindenburg's combat power has increased several levels, especially after her hidden illness was cured by Shiro. Even the modified Missouri would find it difficult to defeat her safely and quickly, so she had to go much harder.
Missouri looked at Hindenburg on the stretcher.
The destroyers were frantically putting the ship repair equipment on her head, wiping the seawater off her body with towels, and laying a warm blanket on her.
Missouri gave Hindenburg a slightly apologetic, yet somewhat helpless smile.
"Let's leave the apology for after Hindenburg wakes up."
Missouri looked at the ship girls who were watching.
At this moment, the ship girls who were watching from the training ground were excitedly running over, seemingly eager to give Missouri, this big star, a thorough interview.
Normally, Missouri would stand there with a humble smile, waiting for the ship girls to surround her. She would only leave after fulfilling their requests and engaging in conversations with them.
But I'm sorry, there's no time right now.
Missouri right now... is racing against time!
A resolute look flashed in Missouri's eyes.
Before the onlookers could get close, Missouri bent down and assumed a standard starting stance, then, ignoring the soaked clothes and oil stains on her face, she dashed off towards the edge of the training field and disappeared from the sight of the ship girls in the blink of an eye.
The ship girls stared in disbelief as Missouri disappeared at lightning speed, clutching their bottles of water, towels, ship equipment repair kits, and other props.
"Huh? Missouri's already gone?"
"The stains on her face haven't been wiped off yet..."
"It's a pity, I was wondering why she hit so hard today."
"Is she very busy today?"
"Pity……"
The ship girls stood there, looking somewhat lost and dejected.
……
Missouri ran straight towards her dormitory after leaving the training ground; her figure almost transformed into a white shooting star as she sped along.
When you encounter ship girls from new naval bases along the way, they will affectionately raise their hands and call out to Missouri.
"Good afternoon, Missouri! Oh, by the way, I happen to have some here..."
"whoosh"
A strong wind came, and then it went.
Before the ship girls could finish their greeting to Missouri, Missouri, transformed into a humanoid meteor, rushed past them, creating a fierce gust of wind that forced them to take several steps back.
The ship girls turned around dumbfounded, looking at Missouri who had disappeared far, far behind them in the blink of an eye, each with a stunned expression.
Missouri rushed back to her dorm without stopping. She ran upstairs as fast as she could, reached her door as quickly as possible, and then pushed open the door like a whirlwind, dashing into the living room.
"Ha...ha...ha..."
Missouri stroked the sliding door to the living room, breathing heavily as she looked at the scene inside.
In the living room, Xiaobai sat peacefully in a chair. Her red eye mask, red rope, and earplugs were all intact. However, a new Jersey was lying beneath her, sleeping soundly with his upper body resting on Xiaobai's lap like a kitten, indulging in her scent.
Missouri's breathing gradually subsided, and she staggered into the living room, suddenly feeling something trip her up.
Missouri looked down and saw two brand-new luxury goods packaging bags scattered on the floor. One of the bags had broken open from the impact, revealing a well-packaged luxury handbag inside.
Missouri had just talked to Wisconsin about this brand of bags a few days ago. After listening to her, Wisconsin patted her chest and said that she would buy two when she had time, so that Missouri could thank her properly.
Missouri opened her eyes and looked up at the sofa.
Tirpitz was sleeping soundly on the sofa. The sketchbook in her hand had been turned over a few pages due to her sleeping position, revealing the picture of Serchin that she had just drawn.
Missouri slowly walked to the coffee table, bent down and picked up the hourglass on it.
Only a tiny bit of sand remained in the upper half of the hourglass, and it was slowly falling into the lower half at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There are only a dozen seconds left.
Missouri put down the hourglass, slowly knelt down in front of Little White, and raised her hand to touch Little White's cheek.
The moment Missouri's fingertips touched Little White, Little White's body trembled.
Missouri?
