Momousagi Goes on a Killing Spree

Gulu Island.

This is an island where spring lasts all year round, with a mild climate suitable for living.

Marine Branch 329 is built right next to the harbor, its cluster of tall, white buildings standing out conspicuously from a distance.

Noah tried to keep a low profile when stating his purpose for visiting.

He had originally only intended for the branch to cooperate by helping him find the residential information for Rear Admiral Shizi, but to his surprise, the entire base was in an uproar shortly after he stepped inside.

Many soldiers who were originally training heard the news and rushed over to join the excitement, wanting to see Noah's demeanor with their own eyes.

In an instant, the main gate of the base was packed three layers deep, forming a dense human wall.

Noah felt a headache coming on; he only then realized that Momousagi's fame among the younger generation of Marines was far greater than he had imagined—she was practically an idol-level figure.

Thinking about it, it made sense; becoming a Rear Admiral at headquarters in her early twenties, while also being known as the most beautiful woman in the Navy and a swordmaster with limitless prospects—how could someone like that not be fanatically pursued?

She was truly a "flower on a high peak."

Fortunately, at this moment, the base's highest-ranking officer—a Colonel named Bako—appeared in time to clear the way for Noah.

With a stern attitude, he dispersed the gawking soldiers in a few short sentences, then personally led Noah to the reception room to sit on the wide sofa in front of the coffee table.

Once they were alone, Colonel Bako immediately revealed a different face.

"Rear Admiral Gion, I have already sent people to find the address information you requested; there will be news in ten minutes at most."

"Please let me know if there is anything else you need, just give the order, and I will do my best to get things done for you!"

He leaned forward, rubbing his hands together like a fly, and the fawning smile on his face made Noah frown slightly, feeling a sense of physical discomfort.

He wasn't someone who didn't understand the ways of the world, and he didn't harbor any hatred for bureaucratic bootlicking, but the Navy was not the World Government after all; regardless of the individual sense of justice they held, they were soldiers, at the very least.

Soldiers should always have a bit of a soldier's backbone.

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Noah nodded politely, then silently lowered his head to sip his tea, saying nothing more.

This distant and courteous attitude left Colonel Bako, who had wanted to continue cozying up to him, feeling snubbed.

He was a shrewd man and knew he wasn't being welcomed, so after giving a military salute, he tactfully retreated outside the door to act as a doorman, not daring to disturb this big shot from headquarters again.

A short while later, the specific address for Rear Admiral Shizi was delivered to the reception room.

Noah thanked them again and did not linger at Branch 329. Amidst the respectful send-off from Colonel Bako, he exited the base gate and headed toward the location marked on the address.

"She actually lives in a small village outside the city..."

Noah flipped through the address information on the road, thinking silently to himself, "It seems that just as Gion said, this Rear Admiral Shizi doesn't like the hustle and bustle; she is an old lady with a naturally cold and quiet temperament."

Such elderly people often have another trait: they are relatively stubborn and find it difficult to change their inherent views.

This is going to be tricky.

In any case, after meeting her, he had to figure out why she had suddenly left the Marine headquarters three years ago without saying goodbye.

Once he identified the reason, he could prescribe the right medicine.

Noah's train of thought was very clear.

He didn't realize that after several days of private interaction, the way he addressed Momousagi in his heart had quietly changed from "Rear Admiral Gion" to "Gion" without him noticing.

"Come to think of it, without having to keep an eye on me and clean up the messes I make, Gion can finally have a few days of peace."

Noah looked up at the sky, "Hmm, it's almost noon; she should have finished her nap and be in the large training hall teaching those girls, right?"

Back at the door of the large training hall, he had told Rosinante with certainty that Momousagi's one-on-one guidance involved too much physical contact and that it wouldn't be their turn as male recruits.

As it turned out, he became the first exception, and she had been guiding him for three whole days.

The wonders of life's encounters are nothing if not this.

He suddenly remembered the side quest he had rolled this week called "A Superior's Confession," and his heart stirred, giving rise to a bit of mischief.

The quest description only required Momousagi to say the words "Noah, I like you," right?

There were no other requirements, nor did it require him to complete an initial conquest or establish an ambiguous relationship.

Then... if he were Momousagi right now, using Momousagi's mouth to say those words, could it be directly judged as completing the quest?

Looking around, the path outside the city was sparsely populated, but Noah still deliberately lowered his voice and spoke softly:

"Noah, I like you."

Listening to Momousagi's voice say such things, why did it feel so strange in his heart... and perhaps even a little itchy?

He steadied himself, suppressed the inexplicable surge of emotion in his heart, opened the system panel, and looked at the quest log. Behind the title of this side quest, there was still a dim yellow question mark; it did not show the quest as completed.

As expected, taking shortcuts doesn't work.

Noah sighed and was just about to close the system panel when he suddenly noticed a strange new notification appearing above the quest log.

[Bella Mia has completed initial conquest, ambiguous relationship established]

[Player receives first-tier point reward: 900 points]

[Romantic relationship not yet established, please continue to work hard, Player, to complete the final conquest as soon as possible and obtain the second-tier reward]

"Huh?"

Noah was stunned on the spot.

He did know Mia; she was a blue-haired recruit from his batch with whom he had exchanged a few words once or twice, though they weren't very close. He had even confused her with Shiya, who had boldly confessed her feelings to him earlier.

How could he have suddenly completed an initial conquest of her?

Noah's first reaction was that this system was truly unreliable—he hadn't even left the newbie village yet and it was already bugging out. But soon, a series of brand-new notifications surfaced, leaving him no time to overthink as his attention was drawn back to them.

[Shuriya has completed initial conquest, ambiguous relationship established]

[Player has received first-tier point reward: 500 points]

[Milando Flower has completed initial conquest, ambiguous relationship established]

[Player has received first-tier point reward: 600 points]

[Monica has completed initial conquest, ambiguous relationship established]

New notifications kept popping up, the information updating at an increasingly rapid pace, like a barrage of comments scrolling across a screen.

"Three, four, five..."

At first, Noah could still count the number of people whose initial conquest had been completed, but soon he couldn't keep up with the rhythm and could only stare blankly as the information bar continued to scroll frantically.

A few seconds later, the information bar finally returned to calm. Noah scrolled back up to do a rough count and was immediately startled—well, there were twenty-six of them in total!

And without exception, they were all girls from the Elite Training Camp who were in his batch.

"No, it's not a bug..."

Realizing this, Noah frowned deeply, suddenly understanding something.

Could the system information flooding the screen be related to Momousagi, who was currently using his body while remaining on the warship?
