Chapter 221: Mikasa's Arrival

Yixian finally left the Commander Academy, after all there were still many affairs in the Donghuang Command Headquarters, and she could not stay at the Commander Academy forever.

Moreover, the purpose of this visit has been achieved; not only did she witness the Commander Academy's graduation ceremony, but she also had a deeper exchange with Qin Ge.

Furthermore, she witnessed the birth of a new shipgirl and the appearance of the Iron Blood flagship Bisimai, which gave some an updated and more comprehensive understanding of Qin Ge's existence.

Since Qin Ge has appeared in Donghuang, it is fate's doing; then why not go with the flow of fate's change? Perhaps the future will become even better.

As for whether the future will get worse, Yixian has never considered this question, because the present is already the worst situation.

The Sirens have forced humanity to operate only in small coastal areas, and even the shore is not a safe zone—how much worse could it get?

After Yixian left, the office was left with only the Prince of Wales and Mikasa. Mikasa looked at the Prince of Wales and said, 'You should go back this time as well?'

The Prince of Wales nodded, 'That's right; as the Dean of the Commander Academy, I must go to the Sakura Empire, but I won't be traveling with you because I have other matters.'

'Are you going to meet the high-ranking officials of the other factions?' Mikasa asked.

'Pretty much.' The Prince of Wales nodded, 'I'll also take the chance to see my old friend; I heard she's coming too.'

'Oh?' Mikasa chuckled, 'The Royal faction is far from here; being able to come over is no easy feat, so we should definitely get together properly. By the way, when is the exact time of the competition set? I need to prepare for departure.'

'Because we have to consider the distant Royal, Iron Blood, Sardinian Empire, Free Iris, Vichy Tribunal, and White Eagle factions, the official start time of this competition is set for the end of next month.'

'This gives them enough time to reach the Sakura Empire before the competition begins.' said the Prince of Wales.

'I see.' Mikasa nodded.

'However, if you want to go, you can go anytime; just treat it as a study trip and have fun.' said the Prince of Wales.

'That works; Qin Ge hasn't been to the Sakura Empire yet, so let me, as his senior, take him around there to learn about the local customs and maybe encounter some good fortune.' Mikasa smiled.

'But the most urgent matter is to settle Tiancheng's affairs.' said the Prince of Wales.

'That's right.' Mikasa nodded, 'Then I'll head over now, discuss with Qin Ge the arrangements after going to the Sakura Empire, and also let A Furore know.'

'Alright, then we'll meet at the Sakura Empire later.' said the Prince of Wales.

'Mm.'

After Mikasa finished speaking, she also got up and left the office, heading downstairs straight to the reception house where Qin Ge was. By this time, he should have already arranged dormitories for the shipgirls, so taking advantage of the free time during the break, they could have a good chat.

Just as Mikasa had guessed, after Qin Ge brought his shipgirls back to the reception house, he began arranging their rooms.

Because there were few rooms left on the second floor, after making simple arrangements for the Unicorn, Tiancheng, and Bisimai, the entire second floor was already fully occupied.

Therefore, Biaoqiang, Bumblebee, and the others could only stay on the third floor. However, that didn't matter, because Qin Ge and Belfast had already cleaned the third floor beforehand, and Belfast continues to do daily cleaning there, so everything is very clean.

Basically, once a suitable room is chosen, one can move in directly; moreover, daily necessities are all available, so there is no sign of neglect anywhere.

After arranging rooms for everyone, Qin Ge unexpectedly saw Mikasa coming to the reception house.

'Huh, Senior Mikasa, are the affairs at the auditorium finished?' Qin Ge said with a smile to Mikasa.

'The matters there have been settled, and I just went to the Dean's office and saw the Dean and Yixian, the Chief Commander.'

'They told me you were planning to go to the Sakura Empire, so I've come over to discuss with you and see if you have time,' Mikasa asked.

'Of course I have time; I've just finished arranging their rooms, and eating isn't urgent right now, so just tell me what you need,' Qin Ge said to Mikasa.

'That would be best, but since this matter is important, bring your Tiancheng and let's go downstairs to the office to discuss,' Mikasa said.

'Sure, but since this is a fleet matter, let's each call one representative from each faction so we can exchange ideas,' Qin Ge said to Mikasa.

Mikasa nodded, 'That works too.'

Immediately, Qin Ge said something to Belfast beside him, then brought Mikasa and headed to the meeting room on the first floor.

Soon after, Iron Blood's Ou Gen Qin Wang, Royal's Guanghui, Sakura Empire's Tiancheng, White Eagle's Lieketingdun, and Sardinian Empire's Weineituo arrived at the meeting room.

As for why Iron Blood sent Ou Gen Qin Wang instead of Bisimai, it's because Bisimai feels she still lacks in these kinds of strategies; she only knows combat, and these matters are basically handled by Ou Gen Qin Wang, so Iron Blood's representative is Ou Gen Qin Wang.

After everyone had taken their seats and Belfast poured tea for all, Mikasa then turned to the one who had been gazing at her and said, 'Welcome to this world, Tiancheng; it's wonderful to see your awakening.'

'Thank you, Senior Mikasa; all this is because of the lord's reason, it's a combination of his fortune, so that's why I have awakened… cough cough…' Tiancheng smiled, but due to her frail body she couldn't help but cough twice.

'It seems the earthquake back then had a huge impact on your body,' Mikasa said.

'It's fine; this condition doesn't affect my ability to devise plans and fight for the lord at all, so there's no major hindrance,' Tiancheng smiled.

'I don't know if Qin Ge has told you, but you all will soon be heading to the Sakura Empire?' Mikasa said to her.

'The lord mentioned it on his way back earlier, and I also roughly understood the specific reasons.'

'Do you know who the actual ruler of the Sakura Empire is now? It's Akagi.' Mikasa said to her.

'Akagi? I haven't seen her in a long time, but since she's able to hold the position of actual ruler of the Sakura Empire, it seems she has gone through quite a lot over the years.' Tiancheng gave a slight smile and finally looked at Mikasa.

'Senior, you came this time to ask my opinion on the Sakura Empire, right? Since we are about to head to the Sakura Empire, we will definitely encounter some things; my decisions will affect whether the lord's trip to the Sakura Empire this time goes smoothly.'

After that, Qin Ge and the other shipgirls also turned their gaze toward her; subsequently, Mikasa nodded and acknowledged Tiancheng's guess.
