Chapter 491: Sleepy Shinano
Although there were dark clouds overhead, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile as he looked at the increasing number of command ships on the waterway. "Now that there are more command ships, it seems that we are very close to Minghai City."
"Well, according to the parameters on the autonomous driving, we are indeed very close to Minghai City." Joan of Arc said.
"But speaking of which, Commander, which port are we planning to dock at? A civilian port or the Maritime Administration's port?" Zara asked.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Of course it's the port of the Maritime Administration. With so many people like us coming here, we need to register, and we need a place to live and resupply. The Maritime Administration exists for this purpose."
"So are you familiar with the commander of the Maritime Bureau in Minghai City?" Zara asked.
"Not familiar." Qin Ge shook his head. "Although I have stayed in Minghai City for more than a month, to be honest, I had no contact with the Maritime Administration or the commander at that time, so am not too familiar with this place.
Even if they were doing missions to escort merchant ships here, they would just escort the merchant ships to the port, get the mission receipt and leave immediately.
Never stayed here for too long, nor visited the Maritime Administration here.
But when I came here, I heard from Wasp that the director of the Minghai City Maritime Bureau is Pennsylvania, a very serious person, and has a good relationship with Arizona of the Shenhua City Archives Center. "
"Maybe it's because they are all Pennsylvania-class?" Washington said, "Just like when we were stationed here, didn't White Eagle's special envoy Essex often come to our fleet to look for Bunker Hill and the others?"
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I thought you would say that North Carolina also came to see you."
"She did come to me, but that was only because we were on the same class of ships," Washington said.
"Haha, Commander, do you have any idea of bringing the North Carolina into our fleet? You know, she is a fully trained ship girl." Zara asked, "I see she cares about Washington very much and often comes to say hello."
Qin Ge smiled and asked, "What does Washington think?"
"I don't care. As long as we can fight, it's fine." Washington said indifferently.
"But otherwise I'll go back and ask if North Carolina has this intention. If they do, I don't mind." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"There's no need for this. Commander, don't you think it would be better for you to summon it yourself?" Washington said somewhat unnaturally.
"No, Guanghui, Akagi and Kaga were all rescued by me. Don't you think they are the backbone of the fleet now?" Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Uh..." Washington was suddenly speechless.
Qin Ge smiled at Washington's appearance, then said to the people around him, "By the way, where is Heinrich? Isn't she usually the most active? And where is Shinano?"
"Heinrich climbed to the top deck early in the morning. As for Shinano, he probably hasn't gotten up yet." Joan of Arc said.
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll go check out Shinano. We'll be reaching the shore soon. It's not good to sleep all the time." Qin Ge said.
"Okay, Commander."
After greeting a few people, Qin Ge walked towards the bedroom at the back of the boat.
He came to Shinano's door and knocked, but there was no response from inside. So he didn't knock again, but opened the door and walked in.
Shinano was seen lying on the bed with her clothes on, curled up into a ball, covering herself with her big tail, looking cute and lazy.
Qin Ge couldn't help but walk in with a smile, and then poked Shinano's face as usual.
"Zz... um?... Is it you?... Did I fall asleep again?" Under Qin Ge's poking, Shinano opened her hazy eyes and said to Qin Ge in a daze.
"Did you wake up in the morning ?" Qin Ge asked with a smile.
"I... should have woken up, after all, I saw the sun's rays." Shinano said lazily to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge was speechless, "It's cloudy outside today, where did you see the sun's rays?"
"Is it cloudy? Then I saw the sunshine before... Could it be that I am dreaming ?" Shinano said slowly.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "It's probably true, but don't fall asleep next time, we will be in Minghai City soon."
"Is it time?" Shinano said, and her pair of big white ears moved.
Qin Ge saw this and pinched the big white ears with his hands while talking, "Yes, we have been sailing for two days and will soon arrive at the Maritime Bureau port area in Minghai City."
When Qin Ge finished speaking, his hand was already on Shinano's ear. The soft and tender feeling with a little toughness made Qin Ge reluctant to let go.
"Finger, Commander, my ears are a little..."
Shinano's voice rang out in a low voice, causing Qin Ge, who was rubbing his ears, to shudder. It wasn't that Shinano was angry, but that voice, which was slightly shy and a little charming, really made Qin Ge a little unbearable.
So Qin Ge immediately let go of Shinano's ear and said with a little embarrassment, "Uh, I didn't expect your ear to be your sensitive spot... Sorry."
"Hmm." Shinano shook her head. "Commander, if you want to touch me, please tell me in advance so that I can prepare. Otherwise, if it's a sudden attack like this, I won't be prepared at all and it's easy for me to lose control..."
"Okay." Qin Ge nodded quickly, and then said to Shinano, "But to be honest, why have you become so sleepy recently? Although I used to like sleeping, but not as often as now.
I feel like in the past few days with you, except for the time when you were awake during the battle, you spent most of the time sleeping in the room, or sleeping in the cabin."
"I'm not too sure, I just feel that I've been feeling sleepy lately and have been dreaming more often. Maybe some changes are happening." Shinano said.
"Are you about to awaken?" Qin Ge asked in surprise.
After all, other ship girls will dream when they awaken. Maybe Shinano, who likes to dream normally, will dream more when she awakens.
"I don't know either, but I dreamed of all the things that happened before. Perhaps this is my awakening. I will be able to become stronger in the future and no longer be bound by fate, right?
The most important thing is that I can help you." Shinano said.
"Yes." Qin Ge nodded. "Anyway, if there is anything wrong or unusual recently, please inform me in time. You are the first sea legend in our port area, so your experience will become a benchmark in the future."
"I hope so too."
