Chapter 226 (1/2)

226. Ship's Soul

(Unknown's POV)

”What's going on with the design platform for the next major ship!”

”Y-yes, about that… the chief engineer went to the military port…”

”Again…? We have to do something… No, I know how they feel. I know, but…”

Those who are involved in shipbuilding went on a vacation to the naval port town as soon as I take my eyes off them. …lately they started to try to talk with the soul of the ships while muttering…

No, I do understand! Even I, who joined the Navy because I always loved ships, also wen to the shipyards often. When I was told that a soul dwells in a boat that I was involved in, and that it had a figure of a cute girl, I rushed to go there right away.

… In fact, I've already taken two vacations.

Unfortunately, the soul never showed up, though…

Instead, we sent a pet.i.tion to the naval headquarters to extend the life of the old ships that were designed by the late chief engineer when he was young. Who would let them be sunk as target ships for a bombardment exercise!?

”…and I plan to go to the naval port next week, so please sign this vacation notice…”

”No!”

There's no way I can allow that!

”But we have the right to…”

”I've already sent a vacation notice for next week. What do you think would happen if we both take a long vacation at the same time…”

”Eh…”

First come first served, no hard feelings…

”Mitsuhsan, it seems that the people in the Navy are acting strange recently” (Rephilia)

”Eh, what do you mean?” (Mitsuha)
