Chapter 31
Mikasa Instructor is a Sakura Empire shipgirl, so I'll talk about Sakura Empire shipgirls. Qin Ge said to Mikasa.
Speaking of destroyers, I looked up the data on all Sakura Empire destroyers that have appeared in the world, and found that the Sakura Empire faction has the most destroyers. Currently there are 11 different classes of destroyers, totaling 52 ships, with all kinds of personalities: calm, brave, carefree, clueless, innocent, timid, etc.
If a rush mission is to be completed, then shipgirls of different personalities will handle the task differently; if a commander does not clearly understand these shipgirls' personalities, it could easily lead to a misjudgment of the situation. On the battlefield, such a misjudgment could very well sway the course of a battle.
Mikasa listened to Qin Ge's explanation and involuntarily nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the battlefield situation changes rapidly; if there is even a slight oversight, what could have been an advantageous situation may turn into a disadvantage. Qin Ge, you being able to notice this is already enough to be proud before everyone."
Hehe, this is just something I thought of because of the different personalities of my two shipgirls at home. Qin Ge laughed and said.
Two shipgirls? Mikasa questioned doubtfully, "Aren't you a newcomer? How do you have two shipgirls?"
Qin Ge was about to answer when a voice interjected, "Hehe, if Qin Ge Commander were to speak in those students' terms, he would be a Euro Emperor, Mikasa senior."
Qin Ge and Mikasa raised their heads and saw some people walk out from the operation console, holding a plate, then walk up and place the meal in front of Qin Ge.
Euro Emperor? What do you mean? Mikasa asked interestedly.
A few days ago, the Prince of Wales Dean personally brought him to do a Big Build; on the first Big Build he produced the Nengdai Light Cruiser. Originally, after seeing that a shipgirl had been built, he planned to stop further Big Builds. However, the Dean thought his one-shot hit was abnormal, so he himself gave him two Cubes and supplies for another Big Build, after which he built the Banrenma Aircraft Carrier. Yixian explained.
In other words, Qin Ge only built twice and produced two shipgirls? And both are Super Rare Shipgirls? Mikasa asked in disbelief.
That's right. Yixian smiled and said.
Mikasa turned her head to look at Qin Ge and said, "Amazing! I originally thought your greatest strength was tactical research, but I didn't expect it to be Big Build? Two builds, one-shot hit, this is truly unprecedented and unmatched!"
Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Mikasa Instructor? Qin Ge said speechlessly.
No, it's just that you've only recently become a commander, so you don't understand the odds of building. Mikasa smiled and said, "Commanders can fail to build shipgirls, and the failure rate is very high. Someone once calculated that the chance of successfully summoning a shipgirl in one build is only one in ten. That's why the academy gives each commander an initial ten Cubes and corresponding supplies."
Moreover, trying to build a Super Rare Shipgirl within that 1/10 success rate would make the probability basically a fraction of a percent. But you succeeded twice in a row, and both times were Super Rare Shipgirls. Tsk...
Hearing Mikasa's tsk-tsks of amazement, Qin Ge involuntarily touched his nose, "Hehe, it's just normal."
Hehe, if those students I once taught heard that comment, they'd surely tear you apart. Mikasa laughed and said, "Among the students I previously taught, there was an extremely unlucky person who built continuously 100 times, spent all his material reserves, and only managed to build one Xin Yue Destroyer."
Then what? Qin Ge asked.
"After that?" Mikasa said somewhat embarrassedly, "He and Xin Yue formed an Oath, and then the local military police found out, and they took him and locked him in a small black room for One Month."
"Eh... divine person!" Qin Ge instantly felt a hint of respect, "But logically speaking, given the age of the destroyer Xin Yue, she should be considered a middle school student, right?"
"That's right, but it is a very sacred matter for the commander and the ship girl to form an Oath, so the military police only detained him and locked him in a small black room for One Month, and then carried out re-education."
"Then does he have any other ship girls?" Qin Ge asked.
"Yes, and they are all adult ship girls." Mikasa said embarrassedly.
"Eh..." Qin Ge was speechless, "If the military police aren't going to catch him, who are they going to catch?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Mikasa said boldly, "Let's instead discuss battlefield issues."
"Alright, then please Instructor Mikasa, give me your guidance." Qin Ge said with a smile.
Yixian beside them smiled faintly, "You guys keep chatting, I'll go see if the meal is ready."
"Mm, thanks for the trouble, Yixian." Mikasa smiled.
Afterwards, Mikasa and Qin Ge's discussion about battlefield issues grew more and more in sync, until Yixian brought Mikasa her meal, which put a stop to the momentum.
After the two finished their meal, still wanting more, they walked toward the faculty area under Yixian's helpless smile. However, on the way back they learned that Mikasa's residence was actually the house next to Qin Ge's.
Hehe, it seems we really have a strong affinity—not only do we share many similar opinions on battlefield situation and tactical planning, but even our residences are so close; it looks like we should pay a visit another day. Mikasa, while taking the luggage Qin Ge helped her carry from his hand, laughed and said to Qin Ge.
I should be the one paying a visit, but it's already quite late today, and Instructor Mikasa has just returned to the Academy after a long journey, so you should rest today; I will definitely bring my ship girls to pay a visit tomorrow. Qin Ge said with a smile.
That's great. Mikasa smiled, "By then I will prepare some specialty Naval Curry from the port we have affinity with, to entertain you and your ship girls; it's quite delicious."
Then it will be a trouble for Instructor Mikasa. Qin Ge said, waving his hand at Mikasa, "See you tomorrow."
Mm, see you tomorrow. Mikasa said and then walked toward her own house, while Qin Ge walked toward his own house next door.
Opening the House Door, Banrenma and Nengdai were sitting in the living room reading; seeing Qin Ge return, Banrenma hurriedly stood up and said to Qin Ge, "Commander, welcome back." Nengdai beside her also stood up and nodded at him.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Mm, have you eaten?"
We have already eaten; Commander, you came back so late—did you manage to have a meal? Banrenma asked.
Speaking of which, it's also a coincidence—when we arrived at the cafeteria today, we happened to catch Yixian locking the door there, so we troubled her to cook another meal. However, the greatest fortune was that we ran into Instructor Mikasa somewhere, and we had a chat with her, which was truly beneficial; moreover, she lives next door to us. Tomorrow I will bring you all to pay a visit! Qin Ge said with a smile.
Alright, Commander!
