Chapter 327: Little Sister of the George V‑class

Qin Ge and the others disembarked, then had their shipgirls return to the reception house to tidy up their quarters. No one had lived there for such a long time, so there would surely be some dust and such.

He had to go with Mikasa and A Furore to report to the Prince of Wales's office, and also bring Akagi and Kaga along.

Although Akagi and Kaga really wanted to live together with Qin Ge's people, after all they could often see Tiancheng, but they understood that they were guests from the Sakura Empire and had to follow the arrangements here in Donghuang.

After the five of them disembarked, they went straight through the training field to the Prince of Wales's office door. However, after knocking, they found no one inside, which surprised Qin Ge and Mikasa.

Although it was vacation period, the Prince of Wales was a very diligent person, basically staying in his office every day and only returning home after work, so it was rare for him not to be in his office.

This clearly indicated he was not in the office, so after Qin Ge and Mikasa went downstairs, they did not ask any other personnel on duty at the school, but instead headed straight for the Prince of Wales's residence.

Upon arriving at the Prince of Wales's residence, they indeed heard voices coming from inside. Mikasa smiled at Qin Ge and then knocked on the door of the Prince's house.

Clearly, the voices inside paused for a moment, followed by a series of running footsteps.

"Huh? Could this sound mean there are guests in the Prince's house?" Mikasa wondered.

After all, given the Prince of Wales's steady temperament, he would never do something like running to open the door. So naturally, Mikasa would have this doubt.

Before Qin Ge could react, he saw the Prince of Wales's door already open, and standing before them was a shipgirl they had never seen before.

No, it should be said that Qin Ge had not seen her, because Mikasa had already shouted that shipgirl's name, "Royal's counterattack?"

"Hello, do you know me?" Counterattack looked at Mikasa in front of her with some confusion.

Mikasa smiled and nodded, saying, "The Prince of Wales mentioned you before, Royal veteran."

"Hehe, right?" Counterattack chuckled, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Mikasa said, "I am the battleship instructor Mikasa of the Commander Academy, and these two are the envoys sent this time by the Sakura Empire to Donghuang, Akagi and Kaga."

"And this person is the tactics instructor of our Commander Academy, Commander Qin Ge."

"Hello!" Counterattack said with a smile, but her expression changed immediately.

"Akagi and Kaga? As the rulers of the Sakura Empire, how could you appear here as envoys?"

Akagi smiled slightly, her tail swaying gently behind her, "Royal veteran Counterattack? I've heard of your sister's reputation, but is it you that the Royal sent this time?"

"But I think there should be another person; otherwise, your Queen wouldn't have entrusted the mission to a playful veteran."

Counterattack's face flushed a little, "I'm not playful at all; I just like to be natural, but I indeed didn't come alone."

"Hehe, I estimate the person coming with you must be one of the George V-class; earlier George V already said that, because of the Project Ship, they needed to send a George V-class."

"And George V himself has to handle Royal affairs, so he can't come; the Prince of Wales is already in Donghuang; as for the Duchess of York, she originally had some rift with the Prince of Wales, so she definitely wouldn't accept this mission."

"As for the George V-class No. 4 ship Anson, she hasn't appeared yet, so the most likely to come here is the George V-class No. 5 ship Hao, right?" Akagi said with a squinting smile.

Just as Akagi finished saying those words, a hearty voice came from inside the Prince of Wales's room.

"They say the Sakura Empire's ruler Akagi is resourceful and deep‑minded; seeing her today, it's indeed true—just from Counterattack's single piece of information one can guess who the Royal sent this time, and it's impressive."

Accompanying that hearty voice, a person wearing a red naval uniform had already appeared at the Prince of Wales's doorway.

Only seeing that figure smile and say to Akagi, "Royal George V‑class No. 5 ship Hao, I have met Sakura Empire's Akagi."

Akagi smiled slightly, casually waved her hand, "I am no longer the Sakura Empire's Akagi; I have handed over my authority, so now I am just like you—merely a Sakura Empire envoy dispatched to Donghuang."

When Zhi Cheng finished saying that, it was visibly apparent that Hao's eye corners tightened; obviously, she was shocked by Akagi's words.

For imagine, if one day one's elder sister George V were to hand over all her authority, it would probably stir up the whole Royal, right?

Although George V very much wants to relinquish his power and then travel the world to sample all the delicacies.

"What you've done this time is truly resolute, huh?" Hao said, looking at Akagi.

"Our Sakura Empire is weak, so whenever we can decide our fate, we never hesitate. We can afford the gamble, and we also trust our judgment." Akagi smiled.

When Akagi finished saying those words, Hao's mouth corner involuntarily twitched. "Is the Sakura Empire's strength still considered weak? You're a person of extraordinary depth, lying without blinking an eye."

Thus Hao stopped looking at Akagi and turned her gaze to Qin Ge beside her. She smiled and said to Qin Ge, "Hello, you must be Commander Qin Ge, right? George V‑class battleship No. 5 Hao, here I convey the Queen's greetings."

Qin Ge saw Hao's courtesy, smiled and replied, "Thank you very much for Queen Elizabeth's concern; please have Hao convey my thanks on my behalf."

"Of course." Hao smiled.

"So you're Commander Qin Ge? You look rather ordinary, not as miraculous as George V and the others described." Well then, Counterattack curiously glanced at Qin Ge.

It seems Counterattack had just been focusing all her attention on Akagi and Kaga, and hadn't noticed Mikasa's introduction of Qin Ge.

Qin Ge laughed and shook his head, "I am originally just an ordinary commander; it's only due to good luck. Compared to other commanders, I don't have an extra arm or leg, so there's no need to be so curious."

"Hehe, indeed, Qin Ge is just an ordinary commander; don't look at him with strange eyes. After you spend more time together, you'll come to know his character."

"Believe me, this journey of yours will surely leave you with deep memories." At that moment, the Prince of Wales stepped out of the room and spoke to Counterattack and Hao standing before her.
