[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Surrender of the Deep Sea Flagship]

Seeing this scene, Shen Sui was utterly bewildered.

She was still undecided about how to deal with the Deep Sea North Residence, but the straightforward surrender was definitely not part of her plan.

Even her old rival Tyrpitz was shocked to see the Deep Sea North Residence surrender so quickly: "You’re surrendering like this?"

The Deep Sea North Residence said lazily, "Can’t be bothered to fight... Anyway, I can’t win."

Goodness, seeing the difference in power, it simply surrendered without a fight.

If Deep Sea Bismarck knew about this, it would definitely be furious.

At this moment, the defense forces at Shen Gang also received news about the presence of the Deep Sea and hurried over.

But upon seeing York City, they didn’t make any further moves.

These young girls are very respectful toward the original shipgirls.

Thus, York City and the bewildered Andrea set out with the Deep Sea North Residence to return to the Guardian Mansion.

"You guys should come back too," York City said to Tyrpitz and Saratoga.

"I haven’t finished selling my stuff..." Tyrpitz pointed to a pile of comic books nearby.

"Huh? When did you bring those out?" Saratoga asked in surprise, looking at the comic books.

"I brought them out by putting them in the ship armor."

"Others store wine, but you store comic books..." Saratoga glanced over, immediately turning red, "And such... such dirty ones..."

"How are these dirty!" Tyrpitz retorted angrily.

This conversation made Shen Sui feel she needed to intervene.

Otherwise, the topic would definitely veer off in a peculiar direction.

Speaking of which, why is it that other Tyrpitz are just comic-loving homebodies, while mine is racing toward the direction of Eromanga Sensei?

Shen Sui thought to herself in exasperation.

Regardless of the oddity of the conversation between Saratoga and Tyrpitz, when Shen Sui emerged from behind Alice, their conversation almost simultaneously halted.

"Brother-in-law—!"

Before Shen Sui could speak, Saratoga plunged into his embrace.

Fortunately, Shen Sui quickly solidified his form, otherwise, this girl would have fallen again.

Seeing this, Alice was stunned.

Wait a minute...

Alice glanced at Tyrpitz, who was also looking at Shen Sui with joy and the Promise Ring on her hand.

Then she looked at the Promise Ring on Saratoga’s hand.

Hmm... If she understood correctly, is this implying that Claude has over a hundred wives in this world?

If Vivian knew about this, Claude would be torn to pieces, right?

He would definitely be torn to pieces, right?

Alice was sure in her heart.

Then she began to ponder how she could protect Claude’s life from Vivian’s wrath or how to hide this matter from her.

But Qishala and Freymia have been really nice to me too~

Alice was torn internally.

Saratoga is indeed too clingy.

If it weren’t for the fact that it would be unsightly, Shen Sui suspected she could hang onto him all the way.

York City couldn’t stand it anymore, pulling Saratoga off Shen Sui.

Saratoga reluctantly let go.

Since the reunion was now complete, the next goal was naturally to return to the Guardian Mansion.

If the reunion with Saratoga was exciting, the reunion with Lexington was much calmer.

When Shen Sui returned to the Guardian Mansion, Lexington was directing the shipgirls to clear the weeds in the port area.

Even though all these years she had been quietly maintaining the port area, she ultimately couldn’t stop the spread of vegetation.

Seeing Shen Sui’s figure, Lexington paused slightly, eyes brimming with indescribable emotions, but all words turned into a smile.

"Welcome back, Commander," Lexington bowed slightly toward Shen Sui.

"Yes, I’m back," Shen Sui smiled as well.

The Destroyers were far less composed than Lexington, chattering and competing to recount their experiences.

Lexington cheerfully rescued Shen Sui from the crowd.

"You’re Alice, right?" Lexington examined Alice.

Alice looked curiously at the gentle big sister in front of her: "Hello, I’m Alice, Alice Hozerville."

"Well, Vivian has mentioned you."

Hearing this, Alice was taken aback and raised her head.

Vivian had already contacted her?

Lexington had even prepared a gift for Alice.

Upon seeing the gift, Alice’s doubts were instantly dismissed, and she joyfully stepped aside to give them space.

Saratoga, although reluctantly, knew as a younger sister she should act mature at such times.

Alice unexpectedly got along well with the Destroyers, quickly becoming part of their group.

During this, she met Venezia drinking tea in the yard and enthusiastically extended an invitation: "Come and play, Venezia."

Before Venezia had a chance to react, countless Destroyers popped up behind Alice: "Yes! Come and play, big sis~!"

Venezia’s eye twitched, pulling out her main cannon, and the Destroyers quickly scattered.

Lexington strolled with Shen Sui through the port area, while the other shipgirls discreetly left, providing a quiet journey, with only the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach occasionally heard.

Shen Sui silently listened to Lexington’s casual conversation.

Her words didn’t carry much sadness, all filled with amusing tales from the port area.

Yet Shen Sui keenly grasped her timing in speech, regarding the thousand years after his departure, of which she didn’t say a word.

A millennial span is indeed lengthy, especially for shipgirls.

Their service lifespans are even shorter than humans’.

Shen Sui didn’t know how Lexington survived across these millennia.

But judging by Vivian’s demeanor, it is best not to inquire about this topic.

Due to this reason, it felt difficult for Shen Sui to request the shipgirls to continue fighting.

Disappearing without explanation, only to return a thousand years later asking the shipgirls to fight again, seemed excessively cold-hearted.

Even knowing that Lexington and all the shipgirls would unhesitatingly execute Shen Sui’s command, he still couldn’t say the words.

While Shen Sui was hesitating, Lexington spoke first: "The Commander isn’t planning to stay here too long, right?"

This question froze Shen Sui.

Although he wished to say he could stay longer, he indeed couldn’t remain here forever.

Lexington turned, her beautiful eyes gazing at Shen Sui: "So can we still fight for the Commander?"

"Yes," Shen Sui thought of the Shipgirl Card Set.

"Of course, yes."

Shen Sui confirmed again.

Lexington smiled once more.

"The fleet will always fight for you, Commander."

While Shen Sui was having a tender moment, Alice hesitantly looked at the box William brought over and said, "What is this?"

"No idea." Destroyer William D. Potter placed his hands on his hips, full of confidence.

Alice hesitated looking at William: "Is it really okay if I blow this up?"

"Who knows," William admitted, "But I personally watched Sister Indianapolis secretly hide it, and since it was hidden, there should be little danger, right? Maybe there’s a treasure inside!"

Alice was still hesitant, as the three-leaf fan symbol on the box looked peculiar.

"Alice, didn’t you say you know Fireball Technique? Just perform for us then~!" William suggested excitedly.

"Yeah! Yeah! I want to see it, I want to see it!" The Destroyers joined in the excitement.

Alice was in a bit of a bind, taking out her Magic Staff, taking a deep breath, and loudly declared:

"Alright! Then let me show you the Fireball Technique!"
