**I'm asking for recommendations, collections, rewards, and dissemination. Tomorrow, I will try to organize a related data section, including a series of terms and origins related to ship girls, and include them in the work-related section. I hope this will make the situation a bit better. I'm still not fully recovered, so the writing might be a bit slow, please bear with me…)**

**73. This Vigorous Morning**

**From a young age, everyone has been troubled by a perfect being.**

**They can fly and burrow, do anything, and are knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. Even while playing games, they can write homework with one hand and play the sheng (a Chinese wind instrument) at the same time. In many people's eyes, this perfect being is almost a synonym for a god, and just a comparison can reveal countless differences.**

**After looking at that perfect being and then at oneself, it's like one is in heaven and the other is on earth, completely incomparable. Naturally, it's hard to look at anything without feeling annoyed.**

**The name of this perfect being is called Kazu—oh, no, it's the other kid.**

**So, the question is:**

**Who am I?**

**"Huh?! No. 111! Why are you always the first to arrive?!"**

**"Because I am the secretary ship and the main flagship. I need to ensure the admiral's sleep and living safety. And why can't I be here?! Because you messed up!"**

**"Eh? Can the main flagship come every day?"**

**"As long as the admiral doesn't lock it, it's considered default access, right?"**

**"How many opportunities have I wasted!!!"**

**"Opportunities are something you have to strive for yourself!"**

**Yawning loudly, the admiral slowly got out of bed, automatically filtering out the background noise, made himself a cup of coffee, and then stood by the window, opening it and squinting as he felt the sea breeze blowing in his face.**

**They say that when you wake up in the morning, your thoughts should be hazy, but now the admiral felt exceptionally clear-minded, and he was pondering a great question.**

**So, to continue the previous question, why did I come to this world?**

**Looking out the window at the ship girls who had already started running laps, facing the rising sun, the admiral deeply pondered this question.**

**Other people's kids are usually compared, but how can I compare myself? For miles around, there isn't a single person, a truly desolate and barren land. How can I compare? Should I start using my imagination to the limit?**

**Actually, from the moment the base was assigned, I had a premonition. After all, it was a place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't defecate. And in the past, I often skipped classes, being a delinquent and a reserve admiral, I never even participated in a drill. All the information about ship girls came from the initial few ship girls.**

**Thinking about it, I ran off to a remote sea area as an admiral out of spite, and then ran to this place out of spite again, and throughout the process, I never saw a single ship girl.**

**My life as an admiral is a bit strange, isn't it?**

**Looking back on my past life, apart from the ship girls who were instructors at the reserve base, I never saw any ship girls in combat attire. I never saw other ship girls interacting with their admirals.**

**As for the internet? A chat room that takes half an hour to load, if there were pictures, it would be a miracle. But overall, I'm still very unsatisfied.**

**At least let me see the Yamato once to satisfy my eyes.**

**Even a replica would do.**

**"You damn cat! The moment I wasn't paying attention, you made your move?!"**

**"Move my sister! I didn't do anything! And I'm not like you; I don't even want to do anything!"**

**"You're lying! How can a ship girl not want to do anything with the admiral?!"**

**"Are you even thinking straight right now?!"**

**Facing the ship girls on the playground with their sharp eyes, the admiral yawned again, drank the coffee in one gulp, and turned back to the admiral's room. He avoided the two who were pulling each other's faces and sat down in the chair.**

**Looking at the ship girls who had started fighting in front of him, the admiral crossed his hands under his chin and fell into deep thought.**

**So, the last question is, what am I going to do?**

**In fact, throughout history, although natural disasters and geological changes are unavoidable, human reproduction and development have always had a purpose. That purpose is for the benefit of survival and for better survival. Only these two.**

**In other words, my frugality for the sake of ship girls and my efforts for the future of humanity are not meaningless. As the saying goes, a drop of water can wear through a stone; as long as time is long enough, anything can be useful. Although human life is very short, human dreams are indelible. Just like that first person who held the fort in the school building.**

**Speaking of which, what was his name again? And more importantly, what am I doing here? Am I going to sleep? Am I going to work? Or do something else?**

**Looking out the window, everything is so different from five days ago.**

**Outside, more and more ship girls are chatting and laughing in groups. And because the health restrictions have been clarified, these ship girls have shown 120% work enthusiasm, even working at night to catch up on the schedule.**

**In the port area, No. 001, who has been busy all night, is still energetically blowing something, directing the ship girls below to continuously process and adjust. The ship girls below have also been working all night, but they all act as if nothing is wrong, continuing to work without any signs of fatigue or exhaustion.**

**Only at this moment does the admiral realize how foolish his previous health regulations were. It seems that the only person in the entire base who needs rest is him.**

**After all, he is just a mere human.**

**Looking at No. 111 and Enterprise, who have already started fighting, the admiral sighed.**

**"…Indeed, it's better to go find Sara, right?"**

**"Rejected!"**

**You only agree on this point.**

**Looking at the two ship girls who instantly united and loudly rejected, the admiral could only smile bitterly.**
