Chapter 205: Yixian's Request

Qin Ge walked up to the office building, arrived outside the Dean's office, knocked on the door, but no one answered inside.

At that moment, the centaur beside him said to Qin Ge, "Could it be that the commander came too early? The senior Prince of Wales hasn't returned yet?"

Qin Ge thought for a moment; indeed, right after the graduation ceremony he had rushed over, believing the Prince of Wales was still there with something to do. So he said to the few people, "Perhaps we came too early; let's wait here a bit. I estimate they'll be back soon."

As soon as Qin Ge finished speaking, he saw Prince of Wales, Yixian, and the two shipgirls following Yixian laughing and walking up from the nearby corner.

Moreover, the Prince of Wales immediately spotted Qin Ge standing outside the door and laughed, "We thought we were already fast enough, but you're even faster—did you just slip out right after the graduation ceremony?"

Qin Ge wondered, "Is there something else?"

The Prince of Wales couldn't help rubbing his forehead, "The second-year students need to take their graduation photos; as one of the instructors, you just ran off."

"Huh? There's such a thing?" Qin Ge said speechlessly, "Can we still make it back if we go now?"

"Forget it; since you're already here, why go back? Besides, the important matter comes first." The Prince of Wales said, stepped forward a few paces, opened the door, welcomed Qin Ge and the others plus Yixian inside, and then closed the door.

After entering the office, the Prince of Wales wasn't polite, telling the Belfast beside Qin Ge, "Belfast, the tea cabinet is over there—please make everyone a cup of tea."

Belfast didn't act immediately; instead, she looked at Qin Ge, and only after he nodded did she walk to the tea cabinet and begin making tea for everyone.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales smiled, "It seems your shipgirl and you have a good relationship."

Qin Ge chuckled, "We've been living together all along, so our relationship naturally became good."

At this point he turned his gaze to Yixian sitting nearby and asked, "May I ask, Supreme Commander, what do you need me for?"

"Indeed, there is something I need your help with, but before I say that, let me talk about you first. If it weren't for the Prince of Wales explaining your situation to me, I wouldn't have known that a foreign guest has actually appeared in our Donghuang." Yixian said, looking at Qin Ge thoughtfully.

Qin Ge looked at the Prince of Wales, who nodded and said, "That's right—because your performance was truly outstanding, naturally many people's attention was drawn to you."

"And it was I who explained your situation to Yixian; after that, she decided to seal your information, reducing unnecessary attention from others."

"I see." Qin Ge realized, then said to Yixian, "Why do you call me a foreign guest? Could it be that someone like me also appeared in that previous world?"

Yixian shook her head, "You are the first human I know of, but if we're not talking about humans, then there are two others in this world: the Sirens and our shipgirls."

"As for why you're called a foreign guest, haven't you heard that poem? It goes, 'Alone in a foreign land, a stranger,' ……"

"'Whenever a festive season comes, one thinks of kin all the more…' Qin Ge continued Yixian's words, then sighed, 'Yes, a foreign guest.'"

"Don't be so sentimental; actually, this might also be an opportunity for you." Yixian said to Qin Ge, "The Prince of Wales told me that your relatives in the other world have all passed away, so you're essentially free of attachments."

"And now in this world, you have your Grand Fleet, and you also have shipgirls who have lived and died with you—isn't this change another kind of opportunity?"

Qin Ge smiled, "Supreme Commander, as expected of the Donghuang Supreme Commander, your eloquence is truly excellent. Not bad; earlier I and my shipgirls also discussed this matter, so I am now gradually adapting to and accepting this world."

Yixian smiled, "That's good enough, though actually my speaking skills aren't that good. Moreover, besides me, Donghuang has no one else capable of taking the Supreme Commander's post, so I serve as Supreme Commander, holding the fort in Donghuang."

Qin Ge nodded, "Indeed, that's true—because the shipgirls appearing now are those that emerged during World War I or II."

"As for Donghuang, the naval battles of WWI and WWII hardly relate to it. Back then, Donghuang's most advanced ships were only Ninghai and Ping Hai, so Yixian had no choice but to become Donghuang's Supreme Commander."

"After all, other factions' Supreme Commanders are either battleships or aircraft carriers and other main ship types, whereas Donghuang is indeed at a great disadvantage in this regard."

"But this also demonstrates Yixian's ability—after all, she can lead Donghuang this well in such a crisis, something ordinary people couldn't do."

"When he thought of this, Qin Ge saw Yixian turn her gaze toward his side, to Weineituo."

"This is the Sardinian Empire's flagship Vittorio Veneto you summoned, right?" Yixian seemed to be speaking to Weineituo, but the content was actually directed at Qin Ge.

"Yes." Qin Ge nodded.

"And Weineituo, full of grace, stood up, extended her right hand, and said, 'Hello, Donghuang Supreme Commander Yixian.'"

"'Hello, Weineituo.' Yixian also stood up at the same time, shook hands with her, and a look of amazement appeared in her eyes."

"Actually, when the Prince of Wales explained this information to me, I found it hard to believe. Although shipgirls have appeared for nearly a hundred years, no one has ever summoned a faction's flagship before."

"But today, I actually saw a second Weineituo in our Donghuang Commander Academy—this is truly unbelievable."

"Actually, there's nothing unbelievable about it, because my commander is the most unbelievable existence, so him summoning me isn't that unbelievable a thing."

"Moreover, I am not the Sardinian Empire's Supreme Commander now; I am merely the Weineituo following beside my commander." Weineituo said humbly, very politely.

"Then, Supreme Commander Yixian, what do you have to order me this time? If there's anything needed, I will certainly do my utmost." Seeing the two finish speaking, Qin Ge redirected the topic back to the main point and said to Yixian.

"I wouldn't have guessed Qin Ge the commander is still such an impatient person." Yixian lightly laughed, then sat down and said to Qin Ge, "Indeed, there is a matter I need to ask for your help; I hope you will go to the Sakura Empire during your vacation."

"When Yixian said that, Qin Ge and his shipgirls all froze for a moment, showing a very surprised expression."
