Chapter 251: Messenger from Zhang Men

The tour was still ongoing; at this point everyone had basically finished looking at the main ships.

As the most lively Biaoqiang, she suddenly came up with a question, then walked over to Mikasa and said, "Mikasa senior, we've seen so many Sakura Empire warship models, but what about yours?"

"Huh." Mikasa faced Biaoqiang's question and was momentarily stunned.

Meanwhile, Qin Ge and the others also heard Biaoqiang's words, all turning to look at Mikasa, their eyes full of anticipation.

Zuikaku even said to Mikasa, "Right, Mikasa senior, where's your model? Let us juniors witness your bearing."

"Um, that..." Mikasa instantly became a bit bashful.

A Furore smiled from the side, "I'm saying, Mikasa, you're not shy, are you? Although I know this would indeed be a bit embarrassing, satisfying everyone's curiosity at the right time is also nice. I don't believe that, as your own warship model, you wouldn't have made one."

Mikasa couldn't help but feel helpless, yet the expectant looks of everyone made her especially hesitant. After thinking a while, she still nodded, "You all know I've existed for a long time, so my model may be rather crude compared to newer warships; if you don't mind, I'll take it out to show you."

"Great, finally we can see Mikasa senior's magnificent appearance." Biaoqiang said happily. The others also smiled and walked forward.

Having made up her mind, Mikasa turned and went to a small cabinet in the corner of the storage room. She then took out a relatively small key from the Ship Equipment Space and unlocked the lock on that cabinet.

When the cabinet opened, everyone saw a small warship model inside. Mikasa, her face red, took out the model, walked to the display stand, and placed it there.

She then turned to everyone and said, "My ship model was originally meant to be kept as a permanent secret, because showing this side to juniors would indeed make me feel very embarrassed."

"Although I'm a bit embarrassed, since you all want to see it, I'll take it out for you to look at; this is my warship model."

Looking at the model on the table, everyone gathered around, and then exclamations arose.

"Wow, impressive look."

"Exactly, there are lots of guns inside."

"Although it doesn't look very advanced, seeing this model always brings a sense of peace to one's heart; is this the charm of a great senior?"

A series of praises made Mikasa feel a bit light-headed; now she no longer felt as embarrassed as when she first took out the model.

While watching the ship girls observing the model and the models displayed in the storage room, Mikasa suddenly spoke with feeling, "Rope saws through wood, dripping water wears away stone; today's efforts will surely be remembered by the future."

"And the future will surely change because of today's efforts, so let us join hands to defend this world and defend the peace here."

Qin Ge smiled and nodded, "What Mikasa senior said is that the future must be created by our own hands; no matter where the road ahead leads, as long as we strive and struggle, there will be no regrets."

"Just like these ship models displayed here, they are veterans of war; peace is their goal, yet it has nothing to do with them, because they focus only on the process."

"For us, achieving peace in this world is our goal, and we must seize the present, strive in battle, and welcome the arrival of peace."

"And when that day truly arrives, we can also store our weapons, let the horses graze on the southern mountains, like ordinary people, truly enjoy peace."

"Mm!"

The words of Qin Ge and Mikasa made all the ship girls in the storage room nod; even Xianghe and Zuikaku unconsciously did the same.

Finally everyone finished touring the storage room; of course they also found the so-called red button device meant to prevent outsiders from intruding and protect the ship models.

But seeing that device, Qin Ge was speechless; would anyone really come to steal these ship models? Is it necessary to install such a dangerous device?

If a visitor accidentally touched it, wouldn't the storage room be destroyed, and the ship models suffer? I'm afraid this isn't a device to keep outsiders out and protect the models, but one that destroys the storage room.

So before the tour ended, he kept a close watch, making sure his ship girls didn't touch that red button to prevent any accident.

But in the end it was fine; after all, the whole tour went very smoothly. When Mikasa relocked the storage room, everyone seemed somewhat reluctant to leave.

However, a few people didn't feel that way; several Sakura Empire ship girls standing beside Qin Ge involuntarily let out a deep sigh of relief.

After all, before, their friends and commanders stood in front of their models, commenting on them, which indeed made them feel a bit embarrassed. Now that the tour is over, it means they have been completely freed from that embarrassment.

Having just finished touring the storage room, everyone was preparing, under Mikasa's leadership, to go out and see some fun places on Sakura Empire Main Island. But just then, an unexpected visitor disrupted everyone's subsequent plans.

She had a pair of beast ears and a long white hair, with a long cowlick standing up on her head. She wore a white kimono with black lace on it, and a long sword was tucked at her waist.

"Jiang Feng? How did you come here?" Zuikaku and Xianghe saw the visitor and were very surprised, for although the petite figure before them showed no expression, her identity was certainly not simple.

As everyone knows, the current flagship of the Sakura Empire is Zhang Men, and Qin Ge and the others naturally had seen Zhang Men, at yesterday's ceremony.

And this Jiang Feng before us is the personal guard of Sakura Empire Miko Zhang Men; thus, if Zhang Men has any orders, they are usually conveyed by her.

Although Jiang Feng is a destroyer, nobody in the Sakura Empire dares to underestimate her; even capital ships like Xianghe and Zuikaku are the same.

Because she differs from other destroyers, not only does she have superb combat skills, but also a mature mindset unlike other heavy-tonnage destroyers. Most importantly, her appearance generally represents Zhang Men's will; otherwise she would not readily appear before everyone.

Jiang Feng's forthcoming answer also confirmed this, though her response was not directed at the questioning Zuikaku, but at Mikasa standing beside her.

"Mikasa-sama, Zhang Men-sama heard that you have returned, so he sent me to invite you to the shrine."
