“Hello, have you seen a child cosplaying as a member of the 6th Destroyer Squadron?

This little friend got separated from her sisters,” Inomata Naoki stopped a passerby, asking for information.

They had been wandering around the exhibition hall for quite a while and had come across several people cosplaying as ship-girls, but after looking around, they had not found the sisters that Dian mentioned.

However, some people had indeed run into them and gave Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko some guidance, allowing them to continue their search instead of handing Dian over to the event organizers to make an announcement.

The passerby that Inomata Naoki stopped also did the same.

After understanding the situation, they thought for a moment and pointed in a direction, saying, “Over there, I just saw a girl cosplaying as Hood with three little ones cosplaying as the 6th Destroyer Squadron.

They might be the people you’re looking for.”

“Thank you!” Inomata Naoki thanked the helpful passerby and then led Tokairin Yūko and Dian in the direction pointed out.

Inomata Naoki didn’t know that his and Tokairin Yūko’s every move was under the surveillance of Enterprise and Lexington, two aircraft carrier ship-girls.

Scouts they had deployed circled continuously above their heads.

As ship-girls officially summoned by Chen Yu, both Enterprise and Lexington possessed Demigod Level power, and in addition to their physical selves, the aircraft they originally carried were also greatly enhanced.

Conducting surveillance at the event without being noticed was not a difficult task.

Under the surveillance of Enterprise and Lexington, the whereabouts of Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko were constantly being reported to all the ship-girls, enabling them to remain close to him and offer protection and assistance at any time without him detecting them.

Meanwhile, HMS Hood Battlecruiser led the other three little ones from the 6th Destroyer Squadron, always maintaining a teasing distance from Inomata Naoki thanks to the continuous updates provided by Lexington, allowing them to keep encountering people who had seen them, yet never quite catch up to them.

This was not because Hood and her crew were intentionally playing games with Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko, but rather, they hoped to prolong their search.

Humans are a strange and complicated species; if something doesn’t require much effort, the person who did it won’t value it very much.

But if something requires a lot of effort and time to accomplish, the person will have a great sense of achievement and will remember it well.

As for the companions involved in the endeavor, their relationship tends to grow stronger, fostering a sense of sharing life’s joys and sorrows together.

This is why there are sayings about the four irons of life – in the end, it’s about experiencing things together that strengthens and solidifies relationships.

The same holds for couples; going through things together makes their relationship closer and more stable.

Therefore, Hood had to ensure that Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko could find them, but also had to ensure it wasn’t too easy, so leading them around in circles became inevitable.

However, although it was a roundabout route, Hood couldn’t really keep Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko from finding them forever.

After leading Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko around the venue for about an hour, she finally approached them from behind.

“Dian-chan!” Rai rushed forward and hugged Dian enthusiastically, as if they were sisters reuniting, “Dian-chan, where did you go?

We’ve been looking for you for so long!”

“Rai-chan!

Sorry!

I turned around while taking a photo and suddenly couldn’t see you guys anymore!” Dian showed a relieved expression close to tears, hugging Rai tightly.

Akatsuki and Hibiki quickly gathered around, and the four sisters chattered together.

Most of the time, it was Rai and Akatsuki talking, while Hibiki spent most of the time just watching.

“Thank you both.

Dian is very shy, and we were really worried when we realized she was lost,” Hood now came up to Inomata Naoki to express her gratitude, “If it hadn’t been for the two of you, I don’t know what might have happened.”

“Miss, you are too polite.

Dian-chan is a very cute girl.

I think anyone who sees such a cute child would extend a helping hand,” Inomata Naoki responded politely to Hood, initially taken aback by her quintessentially British charm and beauty but quickly overcoming the impact of Hood’s stunning beauty.

This made Tokairin Yūko look at Inomata Naoki with new respect.

Indeed, Hood was beautiful.

As a ship-girl, she embodied all the good wishes and beliefs people had for HMS Hood Battlecruiser, along with modern two-dimensional enthusiasts’ various thoughts about ship-girl Hood, she could almost be said to be the perfect embodiment of Hood in the hearts of people.

Simply in terms of beauty, Hood was at the level of otherworldly, and even Tokairin Yūko was shocked by her beauty upon seeing Hood, feeling not jealousy but a sense of inadequacy.

Particularly, Hood’s elegant and classical British lady’s charm was even more captivating than the most charismatic Qingdai Yūko had ever seen.

But Inomata Naoki was only stunned for a moment before he regained his composure and maintained a polite attitude instead of making advances, which earned him respect from Tokairin Yūko.

“No matter what, it was you who helped Dian, and we had taken up your time, so we should show our gratitude,” Hood said, following the plan agreed upon early, expressing her thanks to Inomata Naoki while also extending an invitation, “I see it’s almost noon.

How about I treat you both to a meal to express our thanks?”

“That might not be a good idea.

We still have friends to meet, and this isn’t really a big deal, so there’s no need for a meal,” Inomata Naoki seemed to deliberately distance himself from Hood, shaking his head and declining her invitation, “It’s enough for us that Dian-chan has found her sisters.

As for thanks, just having Dian-chan say thank you to us is more than enough.”

Inomata Naoki’s refusal surprised Hood, but it didn’t make her feel at a loss.

However, just as she was considering how to retain Inomata Naoki’s company, Rai on the side loudly said, “That won’t do!

Dian-chan is our most important little sister, a simple thanks can’t express the gratitude of the 6th Destroyer Squadron.

Let us treat you to a meal instead!”

“Rai is right.

As a mature Lady, one should sincerely show gratitude to those who have helped a sister!” Akatsuki took on her sisterly manner and, lifting her head, spoke to Inomata Naoki.

Faced with the insistence of the two young ladies, Inomata Naoki had to admit defeat and accepted their invitation.
