My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

[The Federation’s upper echelons aren’t entirely fools.]

[If these individuals truly come in the name of peace, and if border rebels revolt on a large scale in the future, as long as they stand on the side of justice, these fleets will become the Federation’s sharp edge, and it’s naturally essential not to treat them unfairly.]

[Alice successfully entered Shen Gang.]

[However, she always felt that the gaze from the white-haired shipgirl was filled with hostility.]

[But soon, the Shen Gang official cautiously introduced Venezia to Alice.]

["Original shipgirl?" Alice looked at Venezia in surprise.]

The original shipgirls is a term officially given by the Federation to Lexington and her kind, and the first generation shipgirls nurtured by the Azure Federation are called ancient shipgirls.

Upon hearing the term original shipgirl, Alice knew that Venezia was Shen Sui’s shipgirl.

This made Alice, who was worrying about how to find Guardian Mansion, overjoyed in her heart.

[Venezia felt Alice’s gaze was odd.]

[Slightly furrowing her brow, she instinctively wanted to distance herself.]

[The Commander had once told her, upon encountering someone with such strange looks, to quickly distance herself, as they were a kind of perverted creature known as a lolicon.]

[At the time, she had curiously asked about what kind of gaze it specifically was.]

[The Commander squinted at Lexington’s frontal armor, then pointed at his own eyes, saying, "It’s a look like this."]

["Why would the Commander exhibit such a gaze only when looking at other shipgirls?" Venezia had curiously asked back then.]

["You’re too flat, I can’t develop any desire."]

[On that day, Venezia used up all the 381 caliber shells in the warehouse on the Commander’s body.]

["Claude, Claude." While Venezia was reminiscing about the past, Alice had already begun calling your name in her heart.]

This snapped Shen Sui, who was recalling who Andrea was, back to reality.

However, upon seeing Alice’s name, Shen Sui suddenly remembered.

Oh... Aili’s original name was Andrea, huh? Back then when playing the game, calling her Aili so much made me forget her real name.

Shen Sui internally complained.

Alice was still calling and urging, intending to use Shen Sui’s name as a key to open the door to Venezia, to find Shen Sui’s Guardian Mansion.

Upon seeing Alice’s inquiry, Shen Sui’s pressure instantly mounted.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Can’t possibly mention my game ID, can I?

If Alice discovered my game ID, it’d definitely be a socially dead move!

Just when Shen Sui was torn, he suddenly thought of the Deep Sea North Residence manga.

Shen Sui...

Perhaps due to the real-name system, in this world I should be able to act using my real name, right?

So he quickly reported his real name to Alice.

No choice, letting Alice know my real name is better than her knowing my ID was "Missouri’s Gun Barrel is Really Smooth," right?

["Ah... Shen Sui..." Alice blinked and looked at Deep Sea North Residence beside her, mumbling hesitantly, "Why does this name sound familiar?"]

[Deep Sea North Residence didn’t notice Alice’s gaze at all.]

[She was intently staring at Venezia, carefully scrutinizing.]

[She had already recognized the other’s identity.]

[Although she wasn’t afraid of dueling Venezia, now was Shen Gang, not the Death Sea, and who knows how many fleets might be behind Venezia.]

[Those shipgirls once fought their way through in the past, even when their supply resources were running low, they still managed to beat her, a scene vivid in her memory.]

[While Deep Sea North Residence observed Venezia, Venezia naturally also examined Deep Sea North Residence.]

[This appearance... feels seen somewhere.]

[At this moment, Alice had already come over, softly asking, "Miss Venezia, do you know Shen Sui?"]

["Shen Sui? Who’s that?" Venezia asked instinctively.]

[Andrea hurriedly reminded, "It’s the Commander’s real name."]

[Only then did Venezia realize, immediately eyeing Alice cautiously.]

[The Commander had vanished upon the Federation’s establishment and didn’t appear in the Federation’s history; only Guardian Mansion’s shipgirls and those who had fought with him, the ancient Deep Sea ones, knew his name.]

[This girl before her looks quite young; how does she know the Commander’s name?]

[Could she be a new shipgirl the Commander hooked up with outside?]

[Venezia’s mind was filled with countless ideas.]

["He’s back." Alice simply said.]

[With just that brief sentence, all of Venezia’s thoughts were completely shattered.]

["Where is he?" she almost immediately asked.]

[This statement actually felt very imposing.]

[Alice looked down at Venezia, who looked up at her, inexplicably feeling like she was looking at a child pretending to be an adult.]

[So small and cute.]

[Seems like she wants to give a little rub.]

[Venezia’s eyes instantly turned dangerous, her main cannon automatically deployed: "You seem to be thinking something dangerous."]

["No, no way." Alice coughed twice.]

[Venezia took a deep breath, continuing to ask: "So, where is he?"]

[Alice calls out to you in her heart.]

Shen Sui decided to reveal his presence behind Alice.

["We’ll talk at home." You said to Venezia.]

He had experienced numerous reunions before and had long adjusted his mindset; hesitating or being indecisive when nearing another reunion would disrespect his beloved ones.

[Venezia looked at your disappearing figure with a complex expression, inquiring Alice: "Why has he become like this?"]

["Well... it’s complicated." Alice spread her hands.]

[Suddenly, she noticed something seemed unusual with Deep Sea North Residence beside her, asking, "What’s wrong? Little Residence?"]

Zhu Yue had seen Shen Sui’s form in the real world, hence wasn’t surprised by Shen Sui’s appearance behind Alice.

But Deep Sea North Residence lacked this awareness.

Upon seeing Shen Sui’s silhouette, those terrifying memories suppressed deep down instantly surged up.

Defeat, capture, subjugation... then degradation.

Countless images surfaced in Deep Sea North Residence’s mind.

Looking at the Dueling Device’s display of Deep Sea North Residence’s wild imaginations, Shen Sui was speechless.

What are you fantasizing about!

I’m playing a proper 16+ game, okay! None of these scenarios exist in your mind!

Though I admit I would like such scenarios, don’t just falsely accuse me out of thin air.

Shen Sui screamed internally.

When asked by Alice, Deep Sea North Residence immediately shivered, hurriedly expressing she was okay.

[She began to regret coming to Shen Gang.]

[She had already foreseen her future.]

[If caught by that terrifying guy, she would certainly be taught into a RBQ.]

Don’t let your imagination run wild.

Shen Sui was already speechless.

[Venezia glanced deeply at Alice: "I understand, I’ll inform Lexington about the Commander’s return."]

[However, Venezia was quite curious why, if Alice was a new shipgirl of the Commander, she came to Shen Gang in this manner. ]

[Alice roughly explained the events to Venezia.]

["I feel you would surely have common language with those Destroyers." After hearing Alice’s account, Venezia shook her head with a wry smile.]

["Huh? Really?" Alice’s eyes lit up.]

[Seeing Alice’s joyous expression, Venezia had a very bad premonition.]

[She quietly said to Andrea beside her: "Quickly inform Indianapolis, have her hide her goods well."]

["Huh? Why?" Andrea instinctively asked.]

["I’m worried the port will experience another nuclear explosion."]

[Alice didn’t hear the conversation involving Venezia, instead, her gaze focused on Federal Congress Hill before her, pondering something.]

[Sounds like I still have a task of passionately pleading with the Federation.]

[But I don’t have anything in the way of persuasive language skills, only the talent to ignite things.]

[If burning this Congress Hill building could bring peace to the world, that’d be great.]

Alice... I advise you against entertaining such dangerous ideas.
