A Fan Letter for the Dragon Girl / The Battleship Musashi

As they stepped outside, because of their bad mood, they didn't see someone coming in and bumped into them.

"Ouch!" Mordred stumbled as the children bumped into her.

Instead of scolding the children, she asked with great concern, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll go and beat him up for you!"

Mordred has a natural talent for being a leader among children; his first instinct is to stand up for the kids and get into fights.

Who could possibly bully them in Chaldea? The children Mordred.

Unexpectedly, Mordred burst into laughter.

She laughed so hard she could barely breathe, and even clutched her stomach.

The children were angry. Not only did Mordred not understand them, but she also dared to laugh at them, causing them to glare at her angrily.

"I can't take it anymore, let me laugh for a bit!" Mordred said breathlessly, her words broken. "I know about this..."

"Actually... actually... it says on it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Artoria rushed out of the restaurant, yelling, "You unfilial son! If you dare say it out loud, I will never forgive you today!"

Seeing his enraged Father King coming to kill him, Mordred turned and ran without saying a word.

As she ran, she turned back and shouted to the children, "That means the food on the other side of this line belongs to the king!"

"Mordred!" Artoria was both ashamed and angry. She grabbed her sword and chased after Mordred, making a battle between father and son inevitable.

Just then, the Sun Knight Gawain happened to pass by. Seeing the situation, he immediately stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty! Please calm down. What's past is past. You must look forward."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Gawain was just trying to comfort him.

The problem is that Gawain has no idea what happened.

As soon as Gawain appeared, Artoria stopped chasing Mordred and immediately turned her attention to Gawain.

"Gawain!"

Artoria roared, her voice echoing throughout Chaldea.

"Prepare to die!"

"Excalibur!"

On this day, a major event occurred in Chaldea: Sun Knight Gawain was hanged by their king amidst the pitying gazes of all the Knights of the Round Table.

As for the reason, Gretel carefully wrote it down in her notebook.

"To prevent the King of Knights from eating too much and taking food from others, Gawain divided the food between his sister Artoria and the other Knights of the Round Table in two and marked the table."

"This is the meaning of Mash's shield, which is also the meaning of a line of text on the Round Table of the Knights of the Round Table."

Chapter 19, Section 457: Letters from Elizabeth Báthory's Fans

As the movie ended, Yuxian stood up and stretched.

He noticed that several children had already fallen asleep halfway through the movie. The film was more of a heartwarming romance with very few intense battle scenes, which had little appeal to the children. Even Yuxian felt a bit drowsy.

Mash, on the other hand, kept wiping away tears, looking deeply moved. Even after the movie had ended, she kept reminiscing about the plot and lamenting the fates of the characters.

Indeed, this is a film geared towards women, with its audience being primarily emotional female viewers.

With Karna and Arjuna's handsome appearances and superb acting skills, it's no wonder the show was a huge hit.

"Get up! The movie's over!"

Yuxian shook the children awake one by one. He couldn't possibly carry all the children back on his back, even though the scene would be heartwarming.

"Is it over already? What a boring movie, it wasn't good at all!" The children's reviews of the movie were indeed very low.

It was getting late, Yuxian headed home instead of continuing to wander the streets.

Karna and Arjuna were still busy, but the Elizabeth Báthory had plenty of free time and came to find Yuxian.

"Agent, agent!" Elizabeth Báthory shouted as soon as she entered the door.

Her face was beaming with smiles, as if she had encountered something particularly happy and couldn't wait to share it with Yuxian.

Yuxian asked lazily, "What's making you so happy? Did you find the Holy Grail again?"

"What's the use of the Holy Grail!" The Elizabeth Báthory carefully took out a stack of postcards and handed them to Yuxian. "My fans have written to me!"

"Huh?" Yuxian was surprised. There were actually fans writing letters to the Elizabeth Báthory?

He glanced at the elated Elizabeth Báthory, puzzled. It didn't seem to be bad news, otherwise she wouldn't be so happy.

Taking the postcards from the Elizabeth Báthory, Yuxian carefully browsed through them one by one.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked; what he saw almost made Yuxian jump out of his skin.

The postcards all shared a remarkably consistent message: they all hoped that the Elizabeth Báthory could hold another concert in the city, and they were eagerly anticipating hearing her sing again.

"This is... fake, right?"

Yuxian stared at the postcard in disbelief. This was the first time he had ever seen such a request; it was truly unprecedented and unheard of.

As if she hadn't heard Yuxian's complaints, Elizabeth Báthory said with a troubled expression, "I'm so troubled. I don't know how to reply to them. I don't want to disappoint them."

Yuxian immediately said, "No idol can fulfill all the wishes of their fans. There's no need to go through the trouble of replying to each one. I think we should just throw these postcards away."

"How could that be!" Elizabeth Báthory snatched the postcards from Yuxian's hand and carefully put them away, afraid that Yuxian would really throw them away.

She said with a serious expression, "As an idol, I naturally have a responsibility to protect my fans, and I've decided to reply to all of them properly."

Having finally gained her own fans, the Elizabeth Báthory was far from heeding Yuxian's advice; she had already begun to savor the wonderful feeling of being an idol.

Yuxian Xian cautiously asked, "So... are you really planning to hold another concert?"

This matter forced Yuxian to be cautious; if Elizabeth Báthory were to hold another concert, the VIP seat would definitely still be his.

Yuxian didn't want to experience that feeling again.

Elizabeth Báthory complained, "I really want to, but when I asked the organizers, they said that holding two concerts in one place is against the rules. They're so inflexible!"

Yuxian finally felt relieved, and he couldn't help but give the organizers a thumbs up in his heart. This rule was really great.

He Elizabeth Báthory, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, organizing a large concert requires a lot of planning, and it's impossible to do it without prior preparation."

"Okay, okay! I was just venting." Elizabeth Báthory said, skipping away. "I'm going to reply to my fans' letters now. Manager, you need to work even harder too."

Yuxian couldn't help but shake his head. Seeing how happy Elizabeth Báthory was, he couldn't bear to discourage her. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

After staying in the city for a few more days, Karna and Arjuna finally escaped from their busy affairs and would have a long period of free time.

"What are your plans, Master? Are you going back to Chaldea now?"

Karna is very direct. He will not say much if Yuxian asks for it. Obeying the Master's decision is his inner principle.

Yuxian shook his head slightly, "No rush, let's go to Nero's naval base and meet up with them before discussing this issue."

These people all have their own businesses here, Yuxian won't force them to go back. Besides, there's nothing going on in Chaldea right now, so they'd have nothing to do if they went back.

Upon learning that Karna and Arjuna were going to the front lines, the staff in charge of them were extremely anxious. For these humans who lived in peaceful inland areas, the place near the sea was like a forbidden zone, filled with fear.

After several attempts to persuade them failed, the staff had no choice but to accept their fate, begin arranging related matters, and report the detailed situation to their superiors.

Yuxian asked with some concern, "Is this alright? Or is it okay if you don't go?"

"It's alright. We don't have any work scheduled for us. We're free to go wherever we want, Master. Don't worry about it."

Compared to Karna, Arjuna more tactful, and after his explanation, Yuxian found it quite reasonable.

These people, who have long lived in peaceful inland areas, have demonized the ocean far too much.

Putting aside how powerful Nero's naval base was, even for their group, danger wasn't something they would easily encounter.

In the end Karna and Arjuna's agency still sent two attendants to accompany them.

With them Yuxian is much easier; I can leave the hard and tiring work of driving long distances to them.

The group left the bustling inland city and headed towards a remote area on the edge of the sea.

This time, we were in two separate cars, which was much more spacious than the crowded way we came. Everyone chatted and laughed, making the journey very relaxing.

Yuxian returned to the garrison headquarters, where it was still as harmonious and peaceful as when he left, like a paradise.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of big cities, this garrison town, located by the sea, is a place filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, and laughter.

As soon as they got off the bus, the children ran off quickly, and the Elizabeth Báthory couldn't wait to find Nero, as she was eager to show off Nero success of her concert.

Yuxian led the remaining people and slowly introduced the situation of the garrison, explaining the detailed structure of this fortress on the edge of the sea.

Compared to the other newcomers, he was more familiar with the place.

Chapter 20, Section 458: Battleship Musashi

"Huh? Isn't that Quincy?"

A staff member saw Quincy playing with the children and exclaimed in surprise.

The Quincy before them was so different from what they knew that they could hardly believe their eyes.

However, this is the naval base, Quincy's presence here reveals her identity. Even if you don't believe it, you have to admit that this is Quincy, the idol among the ship girls.

Yuxian said to them, "That's Quincy. But she's very different in real life from on stage. You'll get used to it after a few days."

Karna nodded. "She's an innocent little girl."

Gaining Karna's approval is no easy feat. Despite his usual humility towards everyone, Karna is actually quite proud.

It must be said that Quincy has her Quincy advantages. Even though she usually drifts through life at the naval base, her simple-mindedness is, in a sense, a rare and valuable quality.

Yuxian was still leading people on a tour of the garrison headquarters, Elizabeth Báthory ran back dejectedly.

"What's wrong?"

Yuxian asked her curiously, this was not like Elizabeth Báthory's usual behavior. You know, her relationship with Nero is not bad. Now that she has returned so quickly, there must be something going on.

Sure enough, the Elizabeth Báthory said with a regretful expression, "It's such a pity that Nero is no longer guarding the manor."

"Nero isn't here?" Yuxian blinked. "Where did she go? Did you ask anyone else?"

At this moment, New Orleans, who had been taking care of Quincy, came over and said, "The admiral has taken the capital ships to assist the nearby naval base and will not be back for a while."

"How is it? Is everything alright?" Yuxian asked hurriedly.

New Orleans smiled and shook his head. "No problem. You've seen how powerful the admiral and the capital ships are. These are just minor troubles. I believe they will return victorious soon."

For ship girls who are used to fighting in the deep sea, such a situation is nothing to mention, just like everyday life.

As New Orleans spoke, he turned his gaze to Karna and Arjuna, "You two must be a really popular duo lately. I didn't expect you to be here."

"I'm Quincy's older sister from New Orleans. Please take good care of Quincy in the future."

New Orleans is indeed a good older sister; she always thinks of taking care of her younger sister. She came over to talk to Yu Xian and the Yuxian, probably because she saw Karna and Arjuna.

It's important to understand that ship girls don't have idol-like feelings towards ordinary people; they are only responsible for their admirals.

"Don't worry!" Yuxian said with a smile, "They are acquaintances with your admiral. If you encounter any problems in the future, don't hesitate to go to them."

Karna and Arjuna nodded in confirmation of Yuxian's words.

New Orleans said happily, "That's great. Sometimes I'm really afraid I won't be able to handle it. Quincy really needs someone to take care of him, and I'm always a little worried about him."

Yuxian smiled gently. The girl in front of him was clearly not very old herself, but she appeared very mature and composed, which was truly admirable.

"By the way," Yuxian asked again, "With the capital ship gone, Lexington must be gone too, right? So who's acting as the secretary ship in the naval base right now?"

New Orleans said awkwardly, "If you have any problems, go find a counterattack, or Yat Sen is fine too."

She didn't say who was acting as the secretary ship, but simply offered advice to Yuxian.

"I am the current acting secretary ship!" At this moment, two girls walked over from a distance. "If you need anything, just come to me."
