Chapter 386: Partners of Justice

Although Qin Ge said he would resume work, the first thing facing him had nothing to do with work.

Because we had previously envisaged it, we will conduct a new shipgirl summoning after this Siren Tide ends.

Moreover, Mingshi is urging rather urgently; it seems they very much want to obtain Xinong's data to break through the limits of all shipgirls.

Thus, the next day after saying that, Qin Ge brought his personal maid Belfast to the Construction Center and began summoning the shipgirls of his own fleet. The envoy shipgirls of the eight factions also rushed over upon hearing the news, together witnessing Qin Ge's summoning.

"I say, you all came today more than I brought myself; there's no need for all of you to come, right?" Qin Ge's forehead was covered with black lines as he looked at the eight factions' shipgirls before him.

"Hehe, I heard Commander Qin Ge's deeds from Sister George, so I came here today especially to witness the miracle. I believe they are also like me, so Commander Qin Ge, just pretend we don't exist." Hao smiled and said.

And the other shipgirls also laughed, only Akagi and Kaga did not show any particular excitement.

Qin Ge had no choice but to say, "Otherwise you could stand a bit farther away, or else the shipgirls I summon might be frightened by you all, which would be not worth the loss."

"Naturally, we won't interfere with your progress; we're just watching from the sidelines. Also, I have a question: how many shipgirls does Commander Qin Ge plan to summon this time, and what types are they?" Gneisenau laughed and said.

"I plan to summon nine shipgirls; most should be light ships, and the others will be heavy ships." Qin Ge said.

"In that case, I wish Commander Qin Ge success in summoning the shipgirls he desires." Hao smiled and said.

Qin Ge nodded, accepted Hao's goodwill, and went with Belfast to the side of the Construction Device. Belfast directly placed the needed Wisdom Cubes at Qin Ge's feet, along with supplies and rapid construction tools, while she herself stepped back to watch Qin Ge begin construction.

Qin Ge first picked up a Wisdom Cube and 600 units of supplies, placed them inside the light-type Construction Device before him, then pressed the start button; the Construction Device began to boom.

As time passed, the sound of the Construction Device gradually faded, and everyone's gaze turned to its display panel.

Sure enough, as everyone had expected, a time number appeared on the Construction Device.

0:28:00.

According to that time, Qin Ge involuntarily nodded; it seemed this summoning was a destroyer.

Nevertheless, a destroyer is fine; his vanguard forces are still relatively scarce, so this time he will focus on building vanguard shipgirls.

He placed the rapid construction tool into the Construction Device's recess, pressed the start button below, and saw the Construction Device immediately begin to hum.

Next, the numbers on the Construction Device's display screen instantly returned to zero, after which the humming gradually subsided, the device's hatch began to slowly open, and smoke and purple light burst forth simultaneously.

When the smoke cleared and the hatch opened fully, Qin Ge saw at the shipgirl's appearance spot a girl wearing an Indian-style naval cap like Si Peng Si's.

Only seeing the girl cross her arms over her chest, she had a head of yellow long hair, and at the end of her hair she tied it with a ribbon, looking exceptionally suave.

"Hello, Commander. Osborn, captain of the Little Beaver Division, awaits your orders. Where are the bullies? Come all to accept my punishment." Upon seeing Qin Ge, the girl said to him.

From the girl's words, Qin Ge also learned the identity of this shipgirl across from him: Fletcher-class destroyer No. 86, Charles Osborn.

But Qin Ge had not heard that name for the first time, because his own shipgirl Si Peng Si often mentioned Osborn, saying she was a very capable older sister who liked to help him.

Unexpectedly, this time Osborn was actually summoned; Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, looking at the formidable little fellow before him, stepped forward and extended his right hand.

"Hello, I am your Commander Qin Ge. Although this is our first meeting, I have heard your name many times; I hope to receive your guidance in the future." Qin Ge smiled and said.

Although puzzled why Qin Ge said he had heard his name many times, obviously now is not the time to ask. Osborn lowered their hands, grasped Qin Ge's hand, and said.

"I am Charles Osborn of the Fletcher-class, renowned captain of the Little Beaver Division, who once showed great prowess in Saint George's Bay—hmph, Commander, do you also want to become a partner of justice?"

"Partner of justice?" Qin Ge froze, then chuckled, "I haven't thought about that."

"Why?" Osborn asked doubtfully.

"Because everything in this world is extremely complex; it cannot be simply described with justice and evil, and what determines justice and evil is the human heart."

"If a person is kind, then justice is kind; if a person is evil, then justice is evil. Therefore, what I seek is merely to do well myself, to fulfill my own mission—that is my sense of justice." Qin Ge smiled.

"It seems Commander has a deep understanding of justice; then let's carry out justice together." Osborn said, "However, Commander just said you've heard my name more than once—where did you hear it from?"

Qin Ge smiled, "Because I also have a Little Beaver Division shipgirl named Si Peng Si."

"Ah, so it's that Si Peng Si kid; does she often cry in front of the Commander?" Osborn laughed.

"She used to cry often, but now she has become a very resilient warrior." Qin Ge smiled.

"Haha, I'll be sure to take a good look then." Osborn said.

"Hmm, but before that, I still need to summon a few companions; could you trouble Osborn to wait a bit by Belfast?" Qin Ge pointed toward Belfast and said to Osborn.

"Of course no problem; executing justice requires the power of companions, only unity can enact justice—I will go wait there, Commander." Osborn said to Qin Ge.

"Alright, let's talk later." Qin Ge smiled.

"Hmm." After Osborn said that, they walked toward Belfast's direction. Being a very outgoing child, they soon chatted with Belfast.

And seeing this, Qin Ge also gave a faint smile, picked up another Wisdom Cube and 600 units of supplies, placed them into the Construction Device, and began the second round of construction.
