Chapter 651: Familiar Naval Curry

While several people were talking, Ping Hai's stomach next to them let out a 'gurgle', drawing everyone's gaze toward her.

Ping Hai wasn't embarrassed at all; she simply turned her head to look at Ninghai and said, "Sister, I'm hungry."

"Huh?" Ninghai blinked, then embarrassedly said, "Ping Hai, wait a moment; after we return to the academy later, sister will steam you some buns."

"Oh, but I'm hungry right now; I haven't eaten all day." Ping Hai said.

"Eh..."

Just as Ninghai felt embarrassed, Qin Ge smiled and looked toward Belfast beside him, saying, "Belfast, do you have anything to eat over there?"

"Understood, master." Belfast nodded, then quickly took out several desserts and a naval curry from the ship equipment space and placed them on the table.

Qin Ge saw this and smiled, saying, "Because we've been rushing, that's all we have, but it's enough to fill our stomachs; I hope you don't mind."

"Eh, Commander Qin Ge, no thanks, we..." Ninghai was about to refuse, but Qin Ge interrupted her.

Qin Ge smiled and said, "I'm actually the honorary instructor of the Commander Academy, not some outsider."

"This..." Ninghai was momentarily speechless.

"Go ahead and eat; while the dean hasn't arrived yet, otherwise you'll feel even more embarrassed later." Qin Ge teased.

"Thank you." Seeing the love song's words having reached this point, Ninghai could only thank her, because beside her, Ping Hai, upon seeing those desserts and the naval curry, could no longer restrain her steps.

"Naval curry, how familiar." Yixian watched Ninghai and Ping Hai go eat the food in front of them, smiling and saying, with a hint of recollection in her eyes.

"Yeah, I remember when I just summoned Banrenma and Nengdai, Yixian you treated them to a serving, and I haven't forgotten that to this day." Qin Ge smiled.

"Ah?" Yixian covered her mouth in surprise, "Did that really happen?"

Qin Ge nodded, "Perhaps you've forgotten, but I've always kept it in my heart."

"I never expected you to remember this for so long, but come to think of it, you're our benefactor." Yixian smiled.

"No, perhaps we can consider this mutual aid between comrades-in-arms." Qin Ge laughed.

"Mm, I like what you said. However, thank you, Qin Ge, because it's thanks to you that my dream can continue. When this war ends, I'll treat you, my comrade, to a meal then—how does that sound?" Yixian smiled.

"It's an honor; then let's eat something first." Qin Ge said.

"Mm."

After a while, Ping Hai patted her slightly bulging belly, looking content; Ninghai's face was also full of smiles, and even Yixian was the same.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Commander Qin Ge." Ninghai expressed gratitude.

"Hehe, no problem."

Just as Qin Ge finished speaking, a sound came from the boarding hatch of the command ship; several people turned to see that Guanghui had brought the Prince of Wales and a few others aboard the command ship.

"Qin Ge, it really is you." The Prince of Wales saw that familiar figure and exclaimed in surprise. Although the facts were already before him, upon seeing Qin Ge, he still could not quite control his emotions.

Qin Ge smiled and waved, saying, "Qin Ge, long time no see, you've gotten darker and more mature." Mikasa laughed and said.

"Yeah, just now when I saw your fleet attacking the Sirens, I thought it was the Royal Navy and White Eagle factions sending high-ranking reinforcements, but I never expected it to be your fleet—truly surprising." A Furore laughed and said.

"Hehe." Qin Ge chuckled, "After all this time, I can't let down everyone's teachings."

"It's truly unbelievable; I only heard from Yixian and Qinglong that you were developing well, but I never imagined you'd become like this. These past few years must have been very hard, right?" The Prince of Wales asked.

Qin Ge rubbed his nose and said, "It's not that hard; after all, besides me, my fleet has Enterprise and Bismarck, and I only handle the fleet's current direction of advance—most matters are handled by them, so everything is going smoothly for now."

"That's right; you've gathered so many leader-level shipgirls under your command—if we used them merely as ordinary shipgirls, that would be the biggest mistake." The Prince of Wales smiled.

"However, you coming to support us makes us happy, but what about your base? Guandao is near the Pacific center; the Siren tide there must be stronger than here, right?" The Prince of Wales asked.

Qin Ge nodded, "Indeed, but we have already completely eradicated the Siren tide there, and also eliminated the Siren outposts in the surrounding waters; that sea area has at least temporarily gained peace."

That's precisely why we can come to support you and the Sakura Empire with peace of mind.

"Huh? Besides supporting us, you also supported the Sakura Empire?" Not only the Prince of Wales, but others were also quite surprised.

Qin Ge nodded, "After all, the Sakura Empire and Donghuang are relatively close; if we can pull you out of the war's mire, you can form a joint defense line, and while holding that line, free up some personnel to join us in going to other factions."

"What, you plan to support us and the Sakura Empire, and also prepare to support other factions?" The Prince of Wales exclaimed again in surprise.

"Yes, I believe you've also noticed the changes in the world." Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales.

"Mm, even a month before the Siren tide began, we had already sensed the world's changes. Could it be that this Siren tide is the result of those changes?" The Prince of Wales asked.

Qin Ge shook his head, "No, I feel this Siren tide was originally intended by the Sirens to target us. Even before the world changed, I had sent messages to all factions explaining that this Siren tide was different from before."

"Now I understand; that's why I said Yixian's abandonment of the front line was so decisive." The Prince of Wales said.

"I also understand this; when I returned from the Sakura Empire earlier, Chang Men mentioned it, saying it was your opinion." Mikasa nodded and said, "Then what does this change in the world bring?"

Qin Ge looked at everyone and said, "This world has become a focal point; shipgirls from other worlds have come here, and they are extremely powerful. Moreover, besides that, the Sirens' arbitration organ has also come to this world."

"Huh? Shipgirls from other worlds? And an arbitration organ? But what is that arbitration organ?" Ninghai beside her asked.

"It's a long story; let me give you a brief explanation..."

It's a long story, let me briefly explain it to you...
