Chapter 655: Black History

Several people walked through the academy; due to the wartime impact and also the previous order from the Prince of Wales, the academy now appears comparatively quiet.

This inadvertently gave Qin Ge and his own shipgirl some space; otherwise, when coming here normally, it definitely wouldn't be this quiet, and one would expect the surroundings to be packed with students coming to watch.

Several people walked past the Grand Lecture Hall, then passed the ceremonial hall, continued along the small path to the main road of the staff area, and only stopped in front of a relatively old reception house.

"This place is where I and Guanghui and the others used to live; because I'm different from other commanders, my shipgirls can be more numerous, so this is also a place specially approved for me by the dean."

"However, looking through these glass doors and windows, it seems there hasn't been much change inside; I remember it was like this when we left." Qin Ge looked at the reception house in front of him and said somewhat nostalgically.

"Then does this place also count as where the commander's dream began?" Hai Tian said with a smile.

Qin Ge had wanted to answer, but a comparatively familiar voice appeared from behind them.

"This place is not where the dream began; the true place where the dream began should be next door to me, the house where Koln currently lives."

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Mikasa smiling and standing behind the crowd, with A Furore beside her.

"Senior Mikasa, senior A Furore, why are you here? Shouldn't you be going to a safe place with those students?" Qin Ge said somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, haven't you forgotten, Qin Ge? Besides being instructors at the academy, we are also awakened shipgirls; we have self-defense capabilities, so let them handle the safe places—we'd rather gallop on the sea and fight the Sirens." Mikasa said with a smile.

"So, we two are preparing to join your command, contributing our own strength to Donghuang's battle against the Sirens." A Furore said with a smile.

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Although personally I don't wish for you to join the battle, from a commander's perspective I am very welcoming of your participation."

"Heh, it seems that in this time apart, that once very cute little guy has really changed a lot and now become so mature and seasoned." A Furore teased.

"Cute? Was the commander really cute before?" Xin ze xi asked curiously.

"Haven't you told us about your own past, Qin Ge? For example, you always get drunk when drinking with me; and when you first met, you foolishly asked the Banrenma some embarrassing questions." A Furore said laughing.

"Eh, is that the commander's black history? I've never heard of it before; could you tell us?" Not only Xin ze xi, but even King George V and a few others at this moment became gossipy.

Upon hearing his own shipgirl say that, Qin Ge's face immediately darkened, and on that dark face there was also a faint reddish hue, "Senior A Furore..."

"Hehe, you're shy; that's more like the Qin Ge I know." A Furore said with a smile.

"Old friend, Qin Ge has finally made a trip back to the academy; let him and his shipgirls wander around the academy. We'll go tidy up a bit first, so when we set off we won't have to wait too long." Mikasa, seeing Qin Ge's embarrassed state, involuntarily said to A Furore, after all she likes to tease him the most.

"All right, then Qin Ge, we'll wait for you at Mikasa's house when the time comes; remember to notify us when we set off." A Furore said with a smile.

Qin Ge smiled and nodded, "Understood."

"Alright, see you later." Mikasa said with a smile, and then left together with A Furore.

Watching the two depart, Xin ze xi said to Qin Ge, "Commander, what exactly did A Furore say earlier? Please tell us."

"Hehe, we are also quite interested in the commander's cute side." Zhenhai said with a smile.

"Weineituo, you've been following the commander for quite a while, couldn't you give us a briefing?" The nearby King George V said with a smile.

"Is that not okay?" Weineituo glanced at Qin Ge and said with a smile.

Upon hearing everyone's words, Qin Ge rolled his eyes, "Well, those are all past events; you also know I came from another world to this one, initially knowing nothing, so I caused quite a few jokes."

"So the commander should say it to let everyone have a laugh." Xin ze xi edged up to Qin Ge, laughing, and said, "For example, what questions did you initially ask the Banrenma? Tell us."

Qin Ge's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "I just asked some ordinary questions about shipgirls, like what they eat and what they use, nothing major."

"Really? I don't think your appearance suggests it's nothing major; otherwise I'll go ask the Banrenma later, anyway she's also with us this time." Zhenhai said with a smile.

"Moreover, given the Banrenma's personality, although she might be a bit shy, facing me as her senior she would still speak. At that time the commander's black history might spread throughout the entire port area, unlike now where only a few of us know."

"Cough..." Qin Ge was unintentionally choked, he looked speechlessly at Zhenhai, "I find you're threatening me..."

"But the commander has no way out, right?" Zhenhai said with a smile.

Qin Ge was speechless, looking at the curious shipgirl beside him, so he completely gave up, "Alright, then I'll tell you, but you must absolutely not spread this around; after all, I knew nothing back then, so I just asked some rather strange questions."

For example, when shipgirls are not using their ship equipment, their bodies are just like ordinary girls; they can eat normal food, and of course they can also eat things that humans cannot ingest at all.

So back then I was curious, how do shipgirls digest after eating those things? Do they not even need to use the toilet?

The shipgirls present all blushed involuntarily; they suddenly regretted letting Qin Ge personally say this out loud.

Zhenhai's face darkened, "Commander, I'm curious—after you asked that question, did the Banrenma not beat you up?"

"Cough." Qin Ge hastily shook his head, saying embarrassedly, "No, she just blushed and ran away at the time; however, Nengdai found out afterward and prepared to slash me with a knife, but the Banrenma blocked it, so after that I stopped asking those questions."

All the shipgirls' faces showed utter speechlessness as they looked at their commander before them, feeling both amused and exasperated. Who would have thought that the usually strategic planner would also have moments of such foolishness.

"There's a question I've always wanted to ask the commander: in your world, do you really have no girl you like?" Zala asked with a laugh.

"No..." Qin Ge shook his head decisively, "After all, back then all my time was spent on studying, so I rarely paid attention to those things."

"No wonder; fortunately the commander first encountered the Banrenma, otherwise anyone else would surely have gotten a beating." Zala said with a giggle.

"Eh..."
