Chapter 126: I Like You~

"Yes, commander, I think what Senior Ou Gen Qin Wang said is correct. Instead of thinking about those things, it's better to live well in this world. I believe you came from another world for a reason, just like us." Banrenma said to Qin Ge.

"Maybe so, the dean also told me that before." Qin Ge nodded and said.

"Commander, in the coming days we will try our best to help you find the way home, but we also hope that before you go home, you can live well each day with us here, okay?" Banrenma said to Qin Ge.

Facing Banrenma's words, Qin Ge nodded heavily at everyone, "I understand, I will temporarily set aside these distractions and live well with you every day; even if I have the day to return home, I will definitely bring you all with me."

"Hmm, then it's settled." Everyone exchanged glances and laughed.

"It's settled." Qin Ge nodded and said.

After chatting for a while, everyone else left Qin Ge's room for their own business, but Ou Gen Qin Wang stayed until the very end.

Seeing everyone already leave, Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "Ou Gen Qin Wang, do you have anything else?"

"Of course, commander, you must remember our conversation isn't over yet." Ou Gen Qin Wang said to Qin Ge.

"That's right." Qin Ge nodded and said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "Let's continue talking about whatever it is."

Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "Then you just said, commander, that you decided to stay here and live well each day. Does that mean you will respond to their feelings?"

"Well..." Qin Ge hesitated, "I'm not an unfeeling person; if it really comes to that, I'll let things take their natural course."

"In other words, you're taking a non‑initiative choice, choosing to passively accept, right?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said with a twitch of the corner of his mouth.

Qin Ge nodded, "I guess so; if someone really likes me, I will naturally return the appropriate affection."

Ou Gen Qin Wang's eyes shifted, he stepped up to Qin Ge's front, gazing into his eyes and said affectionately, "Commander, I like you~"

"Er..." Qin Ge's face instantly flushed, his heartbeat ordinary, the words in his mouth became unclear. "This... I... er..."

Seeing Qin Ge's flustered state, Ou Gen Qin Wang couldn't help but chuckle, "Just kidding, is your heart racing, commander~?"

Qin Ge instantly calmed, his gaze full of reproach toward Ou Gen Qin Wang, "Please don't joke like that in the future; if it happens a few more times, I'm afraid my heart won't take it..."

"Hehe, commander, you really are adorable like that. Don't worry, I'll tease you more from now on. After all, this side of you really makes me very happy." Ou Gen Qin Wang said, then turned and walked out of Qin Ge's room.

Only Qin Ge remained in the room, his gaze complex as he watched Ou Gen Qin Wang's departing direction, then as if letting go of something, he sighed.

Indeed, after revealing his secret, facing his own shipgirls felt much easier. However, what Banrenma said was also true; take awakening as an example.

Now he can be certain that he can train all his shipgirls to full morale. But awakening requires opportunity; what if his shipgirls never awaken?

Moreover, the Frontline Command has existed for a long time, yet there is still no record of defeating a high‑rank Siren humanoid; relying on himself, can he defeat it, or capture it alive to obtain the information he wants?

"Looks like we still have to take it one day at a time." Qin Ge said involuntarily.

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but ever since his shipgirls learned his secret, they have been running to his room more often.

Especially Banrenma and Belfast, who basically come every day. Even the usually inactive Ling Bo sometimes runs to his room to pull him downstairs to play games together, as if their relationship with everyone suddenly improved.

Moreover, during this period Qin Ge also exchanged ideas on some training methods for the Grand Fleet with Li Chenming and Chen Bo Jun, and formulated future training policies.

Since Qin Ge himself is in the staff zone, and the training field there is basically used only by him, he plans to inform Prince of Wales to apply for that training field and use it as the Grand Fleet's training ground.

After all, an idle training field represents no value; only constant use can fulfill its original purpose.

Furthermore, future training will adopt joint drills, including opposed exercises, formation changes, assaults under specified conditions, defense, and various retreat tactics.

This left the relatively inexperienced members in awe, practically wanting to worship Qin Ge's proposal; they previously didn't realize that training could involve so many methods and types.

So once everything was settled, the only thing left was to apply for the training field.

Such a matter naturally required Qin Ge to handle it personally; thus he went to the dean's office of Prince of Wales and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

As Prince of Wales's voice came through, Qin Ge entered her office and found not only Prince of Wales there, but also Guanghui, and moreover, the director of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, Qinglong, was present.

Qin Ge looked at them, suddenly puzzled—what was going on, for all of them to gather together? He then said to Prince of Wales, "Dean, if I'm disturbing you, I'll come back later."

"It's fine; Qinglong just noticed Guanghui coming to the school, so he dropped by to see. After all, we were once comrades on the same front; even though we're no longer together, occasionally meeting up is perfectly normal." Prince of Wales explained.

"All right." Qin Ge then nodded at Guanghui and Qinglong as a greeting.

"Then Qin Ge, what do you have to discuss today?" Prince of Wales asked.

"Indeed there are some matters." Qin Ge said, "Because I saw the training field in the staff zone lying idle, with only me using it, I want to apply to let other members of my Grand Fleet also use that field, to facilitate our joint training."

"Wait, you said your Grand Fleet?" Prince of Wales said intriguingly, "Has your Grand Fleet been established yet? How many people have joined so far? What's its name? When are you planning to register it? What is the Grand Fleet's goal?"

Qin Ge looked at Prince of Wales somewhat speechless, wondering why his own establishment of a Grand Fleet would interest Prince of Wales even more than himself…
