Chapter 128: Guanghui's Joining

Ara, Prince, don't tease my commander—he's usually very shy. Guanghui smiled and looked at the Prince of Wales as she said.

"My commander? So Guanghui, you agree?" Qin Ge, who had been a bit embarrassed from the Prince of Wales's teasing, couldn't help but feel overjoyed upon hearing Guanghui's words.

Guanghui then rose from her seat and gradually walked up to Qin Ge.

"Of course, the time I've spent with the commander has been the happiest of my life. I am very willing to join your fleet and become your shipgirl."

After saying that, Guanghui extended her right hand to Qin Ge, who naturally took it without hesitation.

At that moment, Qin Ge felt an inexplicable connection and closeness between himself and Guanghui, just like the feeling he had with the Banrenma.

When the two released their hands, Guanghui smiled, performed a lady's salute to Qin Ge, and said, "Commander, greetings, Glorious-class aircraft carrier reporting for duty. May you bring love and peace to this sea, and may the holy light be with you."

Qin Ge immediately, with solemnity and dignity, said to Guanghui, "Rest assured, we can definitely drive away the Sirens and bring love and peace back to this sea."

"Hehe, congratulations!" At that moment, the Prince of Wales and Qinglong stood up, clapping, and said to Qin Ge and Guanghui.

"Thank you both for witnessing this." Guanghui smiled at the Prince of Wales and Qinglong.

"Witness?" Qin Ge wondered.

"Since the commander asked, I'll tell him." Guanghui smiled, "Even if you don't come today, I will still bring those two to find you."

"Huh?" Qin Ge was speechless, "So Guanghui, you've got me figured out today?"

"Ara, I absolutely don't mean that, but we've been together for so long that I feel it's time to say these things. Since the commander isn't taking the initiative, I'll have to be a bit more proactive." Guanghui smiled.

"So, Director Qinglong came today for this reason too?" Qin Ge asked.

"Yes, on one hand to witness the establishment of the commander-shipgirl relationship between you and Guanghui, and on the other to catch up with an old friend." Qinglong adjusted his glasses and said.

"I see." Qin Ge nodded.

"Well, today's affairs are done—having caught up with an old friend and witnessed the oath-binding ceremony between you and Guanghui, I should take my leave now."

"Moreover, I will register your Grand Fleet in the next couple of days; after you graduate, you can take the Grand Fleet's command certification to report to me." Qinglong smiled.

"Thank you very much!" Qin Ge said to Qinglong.

"No need to thank me; this is what you deserve. After all, your course has greatly increased the survival rate of Donghuang commanders, so I should thank you on behalf of all commanders." Qinglong said.

"This is simply my duty as an assistant teacher; no thanks needed. Moreover, they even brought supplies to attend the lectures, so there's no need for thanks." Qin Ge scratched his head.

"Hehe, letting them survive is more useful than any amount of supplies. Well, I won't say more—I have to go handle things now; let's chat again when I have time." Qinglong said.

"Well, then I won't see you off." The Prince of Wales said.

"Heh, it's not far anyway—what's there to see off?" After saying that to the Prince of Wales, Qinglong nodded at Guanghui and Qin Ge, then left the office.

Afterward, Guanghui said to the Prince of Wales, "Then we two should also leave; it's time for me to go back and reacquaint myself with the fleet sisters."

The Prince of Wales chuckled lightly, "Alright, take your time."

Just then, Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales, "By the way, Dean, I just told you about the training field—what do you think?"

"That training field has been idle there; if you need it, just use it—no need to come specially to report to me. Moreover, you are originally the assistant teacher of the Strategy and Tactics Course, so you have the right to use and manage that training ground." The Prince of Wales said.

"Then thank you, Dean." Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales.

"No need to thank me; I'm still waiting for you to bring us an even greater miracle." The Prince of Wales laughed.

"So Guanghui knows about this too?" Qin Ge wondered.

"No, I think it's better for you to tell her yourself." The Prince of Wales winked at Qin Ge and said.

"What are you two hiding from me?" Guanghui said, somewhat puzzled.

Qin Ge smiled, nodded at the Prince of Wales, then told Guanghui, "We'll talk about it slowly when we go back; this matter may take some time."

Guanghui nodded, "Of course, Commander."

Thus the two bade farewell to the Prince of Wales, left the office, and headed toward Qin Ge's residence.

Along the way, Qin Ge told Guanghui in detail about his coming from another world, and also told her that, as the Banrenma said, he planned to stay here for just one day and enjoy it fully.

"I see, no wonder the commander knows so much—apparently he, like us shipgirls, comes from a different world." Guanghui smiled and said to Qin Ge.

"So I've told you all this, hoping you can reconsider your choice—whether to follow me or stop here. After all, my situation is different, but I can understand whatever decision you make." Qin Ge said to Guanghui.

"When did the commander's shipgirls find out?" Guanghui asked.

"I only told them not long ago." Qin Ge said to Guanghui.

"Since they can all accept it, I naturally can too—do you think my acceptance is inferior to theirs, Commander?" Guanghui smiled.

"Of course not, after all you're joining my fleet, so I naturally need to be frank—this is good for both of you." Qin Ge said to Guanghui.

"The commander's words also make sense, so I now tell you, my feelings for you are no less than anyone else's. Who knows what hardships lie ahead? Just living each day earnestly is better than anything." Guanghui smiled.

"If that day ever comes, would I follow you without hesitation?" Guanghui smiled at Qin Ge.

"Since you've said all that, my parents would be out of line otherwise—so from now on, please guide me, Guanghui." Qin Ge smiled at Guanghui.

"Sure, please continue to guide me as well, Commander." Guanghui laughed and said.

"Then let me take you home now, and as a shipgirl of our fleet, I'll introduce you to everyone again." Qin Ge said.

"Sure, let's go together, Commander." Guanghui smiled.
