Chapter 903: Companion, Gangqu, Home

Oh, so it's Lu Puleixite, I said just now when roll was called you weren't there, turns out you went to find the Commander. The assaulter smiled.

I…… Prince Lu Puleixite stared, about to act tsundere, but Qin Ge interrupted him.

When you see the teacher, you should apologize properly. Qin Ge said.

I…… I why do I have to apologize…… well…… okay…… I get it…… Prince Lu Puleixite wanted to retort, but seeing Qin Ge's half-smile, he still apologized to the assaulter.

Sorry, I shouldn't have run around during break time; is this okay now?

Qin Ge smiled, "Although there's not much sincerity, at least you apologized, that's not bad."

The assaulter nodded, "The Commander is right, as long as you know your mistake and can change, you're a good kid."

By the way, what class is the assaulter taking now? Qin Ge asked.

Air defense and anti-submarine. The assaulter replied, "I remember the Commander's office should have a schedule of classes, right?"

Not just supposed to have, but definitely have. Qin Ge nodded, "But lately there's been a lot going on, I haven't had time to check the schedule. By the way, how many people are in class now, are they all from our Gangqu or are there others under other commanders?"

There are probably over two hundred in class today, most are from our Gangqu, the other commanders' sides only have a few dozen. The assaulter replied.

Alright, since I have time now to come to the Grand Lecture Hall, I'll take up a lesson of your time, I have some things I want to tell everyone. Qin Ge said.

Does the Commander want to take a class? That's great, they've really missed your lectures lately. The assaulter laughed.

Well, I don't know if I can finish this class, but let's just start and see. Qin Ge said.

Okay, then I'll go notify everyone? The assaulter said.

No need for that trouble, let's go in together. Qin Ge said, and together with the assaulter and a few others they walked in.

Hey, Commander!

Sure enough, seeing Qin Ge suddenly walk in, all the shipgirls in the Grand Lecture Hall were surprised.

Heh, good afternoon, everyone. Qin Ge stood on the podium, looking down at the shipgirls and smiled, "I just came up with this idea, standing here taking some of the assaulter's time, because I feel I need to say a few things to everyone."

It's fine, as long as the Commander gives a lecture, we like it. Not far away, Biaoqiang stood up, giggling.

Ha, liking it is fine. Qin Ge nodded, looking at Prince Lu Puleixite still dazed there, "Go sit down and listen to the lecture."

Oh.

At this moment of everyone's attention, Prince Lu Puleixite obviously didn't dare to defy Qin Ge, obediently walked over and sat down next to Ai Jier.

So, you were running over to his place earlier? Ai Jier gave Prince Lu Puleixite a sideways glance.

Hmph, so what if I did? Prince Lu Puleixite curled his lips.

No, just suddenly thought, maybe only he in the whole Gangqu can tolerate your temperament? Ai Jier's mouth curled with a ripple.

You're so annoying.

Qin Ge turned around and wrote with chalk on the blackboard behind him, the words "Companion, Gangqu, Home".

After writing, Qin Ge looked at the crowd, casually tossed the chalk into the chalk box, clapped his hands and said.

I believe you've heard this concept many, many times, but now taking advantage of this free time, I still want to bring it up again.

This lesson isn't just for you, it's also for myself. Perhaps by now everyone should know, I differ from the other commanders of this world, I come from another world.

When I first came to this world, I actually had been confused, had been torn, whether it was a chance encounter or seeking the way back home, I ultimately became a commander.

When I summoned the first shipgirl, what was I feeling then? Excited, anticipating, actually the most at first was probably feeling grounded.

Being alone isn't pleasant, especially in a completely strange world, no one understands you, some of your things can't be told to others, that feeling should be loneliness among a crowd.

But all of this, as I summoned you all, gradually disappeared from me. This is also the first time I understood what a companion is, you are my partners, my fellow travelers, and I also for the first time formed a so-called bond with this world.

I first felt that I am not alone in this world, because you are with me, because there is always a fellow traveler by my side.

Later we gradually increased, everyone also had all kinds of personalities, some resolute and decisive, some gentle like water, each is that unique, that dazzling.

I really like the feeling of being together with everyone, especially when facing each of you different people. Thus, to let us live together more harmoniously and happily, we built the Gangqu.

Although you are all shipgirls, all warships, so the place where you dock is called Gangqu. But I think the reason this place is called Gangqu is more because it is the harbor of everyone's hearts.

Whether after experiencing battle outside, or after going to a faraway place, when you come back here, you can always put down all your burdens, freely enjoy a bit of relaxation, a bit of ease.

So I prefer to call this place home, and you are all my family, my most important people. We laugh together, grow together, fight together, it seems no place could be more intimate than this.

For me, this Gangqu, this home is my world, and you are likewise my world. So I hope everyone can cherish this place that lets us relax, and also hope everyone can cherish the companions around you, because those people are your world.

Maybe I'm better suited to talk about tactics and battles and such, these somewhat sentimental words, letting me say them feels weird. But I believe my meaning, you all understand too, especially now at this most critical moment.

Battle is not far from us, how many peaceful days remain I'm not clear. But I hope everyone can cherish it, can get along well with each person, can have their own bond, can have their own world.

I……

When Qin Ge spoke up to this point, a bell suddenly rang. He had wanted to hang up the phone, but seeing the number was the office's, he immediately answered without hesitation.

I am the Commander, what happened?

Report Commander, just now the communications room sent a message, our sea area has seen an Executor invasion.

Qin Ge startled, "How many forces does the other side have, has anyone gone to scout?"

Yes, the White Eagle Enterprise has already gone, but forces are unknown now, the enemy detected our detector and immediately took it out.

Notify the high-ranking officials of the faction present, I'll be back right away. Qin Ge hung up the phone, glanced at the tense crowd.

It seems battle is about to come.
