Chapter 396: Contract

Qin Ge smiled and said in a confident voice, "So what? You and Kaga joining my fleet is merely icing on the cake for me, not a timely help."

Even without your joining, I believe my fleet will continue to increase its strength under my leadership and be able to stand firm in this world.

Bisimai, Weineituo, and Lisailiu are all flagships of a faction; I believe they are not much inferior to you. The gap you now have is only a matter of time, and I am still young, I have time to cultivate them so they reach or surpass your level.

The future of our fleet will surely be colorful and full of hope. This is my wish, and it will become inevitable later.

"Hehe, Commander, what you said is not bad, that's also what we want to say!" Weineituo smiled and said, "Even though we currently have a large power gap with you, it doesn't mean our future gap with you will be this big."

We have always been advancing, always striving, always growing stronger. Just like my oath, I will surely let the glory of the Sardinian Empire spread across this sea. Likewise, we will let our fleet's flag fly high in this sea.

These resolute words made all of Qin Ge's shipgirls unconsciously clench their hands. With such an excellent and confident commander, such a charismatic and influential leader, what difficulty could stop them?

Akagi stared at this scene, dazed for a moment, then laughed, "Hehe, interesting, I haven't been this happy in a long time. Commander Qin Ge, then let's sign the contract; I want to stay by your side and closely watch how you bring this fleet to that height."

Furthermore, as I said, only when I acknowledge you will I obey your commands; otherwise, even if you encounter danger at sea, I will stand by and do nothing.

Qin Ge smiled and directly extended his right hand, "Then please wait and see, Akagi."

"Hehe, then wait and see." Akagi laughed while taking Qin Ge's extended right hand, and both closed their eyes.

Just as when signing the contract with Kaga earlier, after a long time Qin Ge and Akagi simultaneously opened their eyes. Then a burst of light erupted from their palms, instantly enveloping them. As the light gradually faded, Qin Ge and Akagi had completed the contract signing.

Seeing this, Kaga couldn't help but sigh in relief, fearing that Akagi would be obstinate and refuse to sign the contract with Qin Ge. Now the situation looks as if it's already done, so she no longer needs to worry excessively.

"Regarding the mutual introduction between commander and shipgirls, we don't need to do it for now. As I said before, we have merely signed a contract, but I still haven't acknowledged you; only when I am worthy of acknowledging you will I accept you!" Akagi said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge appeared indifferent, anyway the contract is already signed, and Akagi in front of him can't run away, so there's no need to rush; just take it slow.

Thus Qin Ge nodded, "So are you still staying in the school's reception house, or will you stay with me?"

"You don't need to worry about this; of course I don't mind you preparing a room for us here." Akagi said to Qin Ge.

"Alright, then I understand." Qin Ge nodded, "If there's nothing else, the next moment is welcoming our new companions together; if you wish, you can stay and celebrate with us, of course if you have business you may go your own way."

After Qin Ge spoke, he turned his head to look at Belfast, "Belfast, please help arrange the companions we summoned today; afterwards we'll hold a welcome banquet on the first floor."

"Understood, my master." Belfast bowed to Qin Ge, then led the expectant shipgirls away from the second-floor lounge toward the third floor.

This is Tiancheng also giving Qin Ge a faint smile, leaving a somewhat meaningful glance, then taking Akagi and Kaga away from the second-floor lounge.

Watching the three figures gradually depart, Ou Gen Qin Wang couldn't help but smile, "Hehe, it seems the commander will have a headache later."

Qin Ge waved his hand, "I don't mind; Akagi and Kaga were originally leaders of the Sakura Empire, they possess an arrogance ordinary shipgirls lack, so making this choice now is also a helpless move; I understand their feelings, so whatever attitude they now show toward me, I can accept."

Most importantly, afterward our fleet must continue to strive, making our abilities ever stronger, so that we can earn others' respect.

"That's right, Commander has grown too much in this period." Guanghui said with a smile, the tenderness in her eyes could melt Qin Ge.

"After all, it's just a matter of our strength, Commander; we now have three faction leaders, so I have a suggestion I don't know what you think of?" Bisimai said to Qin Ge.

"What suggestion? Bisimai, you can say it." Qin Ge asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, starting tomorrow the commander will continue to lead the Royal shipgirls on missions to summon this project ship as soon as possible."

"However, the number of shipgirls in our fleet now is not what it was before; following our current proficiency increase, we also have the conditions to carry out missions independently."

"So I suggest that starting tomorrow, I and Weineituo each lead a group to carry out missions; on one hand, missions can improve our proficiency, on the other hand, missions can also accumulate more resources for our fleet."

"As for Lisailiu and the others, having just been summoned, they will remain in the academy for training. At the same time, leave one or two instructors familiar with our training methods to guide them."

"This way we each fulfill our duties, and our fleet's strength will increase very quickly; what do you think?" Bisimai said.

Qin Ge pondered a moment, then nodded, "Bisimai's suggestion is excellent; after you've experienced the Siren Tide, your proficiency has generally improved greatly, so you can indeed start carrying out missions independently."

"Then starting tomorrow, Bisimai and Weineituo, you two will lead people to carry out missions. Moreover, I think you can also bring along one of the shipgirls we summoned today to follow you on missions, though you must be responsible for her safety so she can integrate into our fleet more quickly."

"No problem, we can rotate substitutes, just as the commander did before." Bisimai nodded, and the matter was settled.
