The Admiral of Hogwarts

After all the ship girls that could be summoned from this shipyard were summoned, Hugo chatted with them for a good while. Then, Massachusetts, one of the few intellectuals among the ship girls, quickly took over the command of the ship girls and arranged the goals for everyone's next actions.

“We will be active on the east coast of the United States, organizing our own strength as much as possible to deal with the possible outbreak of war in the British wizarding world.” Massachusetts discussed with the newly summoned ship girls and said to Hugo, “And with Salem's existence, we should be able to integrate into the wizarding society here in the east very easily.”

Compared to the heap of small countries in Europe excluding Russia, the United States can be said to be a huge country. Therefore, there are different customs in different places. And Salem just happens to have knowledge about the wizarding world of the eastern United States, so it is convenient to start operations here.

“Okay, it's good that you have a plan.” Hugo said, looking at the ship girls opposite him. “Also, safety first in all actions, and it's best to focus on stability when expanding your strength. Before carrying out any relatively dangerous adventures, try to discuss them together through the admiral network. If I feel it's inappropriate, you must stop—”

Hugo rambled on for a long time. It wasn't until half an hour later, when he felt that time might be running out, that he shut his mouth. Fortunately, the ship girls could feel the admiral's deep concern from his words, so they didn't feel the slightest bit of annoyance and listened to his nagging with smiles on their faces throughout.

“Bon voyage!” “Have a pleasant trip.” “Enterprise, please take good care of the admiral for us.” “Quincy—” Amidst the farewells of these girls, Hugo once again boarded Enterprise's carrier aircraft, slowly ascending into the air, and then flew at full power towards the southwest.

Half an hour later, Hugo said goodbye to Enterprise at the hotel entrance, then successfully climbed the wall, flipped through the window, and returned to his room. After he entered the room, he found that Mr. Granger was sleeping soundly due to the potion. Seeing this, he immediately took off his coat and burrowed into the quilt.

“Today's luck was pretty good.” Lying in bed, Hugo couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he closed his eyes and began to think about what had happened tonight. “If Enterprise hadn't reminded me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to summon so many ship girls successfully at once like I did now.”

“Moreover, today I can reconfirm that there are still some differences between the game and reality. For example, Quincy after the modification is obviously just habitually playing dumb. But most of the situations are still very similar to the settings in the game, such as just now listening to Massachusetts say that Quincy does have some kind of pica. And considering the difference between ship girls and humans, everyone has let Quincy's habits go.”

Besides these, Hugo felt that his biggest gain tonight was figuring out some of the content related to summoning. For example, he roughly summarized what these ship girls that could be summoned in the shipyard had in common.

This common point is actually very simple, that is, all the ship girls summoned today were unremarkable throughout their entire service life as warships back then. And ship girls with extraordinary histories in their service are basically impossible to summon from their original shipyards.

For example, among the ship girls who came from the same Huohe Shipyard, neither Tai Tai nor Nevada appeared. And the reason for this result is because their life experiences are not ordinary, having experienced many things that ordinary people have never experienced. In this case, they naturally cannot have too much attachment to their place of origin.

“Now that I've grasped this rule, summoning ship girls will be much easier.” Hugo thought, “At least this way, I can filter out many places where ship girls are more concentrated, and then scoop up a large pile of ships at once.”

After thinking about some things in this regard, Hugo yawned and fell asleep. The next morning, after they got up and toured the surrounding tourist farms that were specifically open to tourists, they returned to New York City at 3:00 PM, and then went straight to John F. Kennedy International Airport.

“We will spend the next day on the plane.” Mr. Granger said with considerable experience when they had completed all the checks and boarded the plane. “We need to fly eight and a half hours to Los Angeles first, stay there for three hours. Then fly nine hours to land in Honolulu.”

“That means we won’t arrive until noon tomorrow.” Hermione had a distressed expression on her face. “It seems we’re going to have to sleep on the plane tonight. I hope the seats on the plane are comfortable enough to sleep in.”

“What are you doing here?” When they arrived at their seats according to the seat numbers on the tickets, they were surprised to find that Enterprise had actually changed into jeans and a T-shirt and was sitting next to their seat. She even had a Hawaiian travel guide in her hand, which she had obviously just gotten from the airport.

“Of course I'm here.” Enterprise said to Hugo through the admiral network. “Since I said before that I would be with you during this time, I will definitely be with you. For example, I decided to go to Hawaii with you this time.”

“Okay, if you think that’s a happier thing to do then it's fine.” Hugo said, sitting next to Enterprise. “By the way, how are Massachusetts and the others doing now? Have they settled down in New York?”

Because Mr. Granger made a lot of money in international trade, he always traveled in first class this time. Therefore, Hugo's seat was just across the aisle from his family, sitting with Enterprise. And on Enterprise's side was the plane's porthole. This made it much easier for him to chat with Enterprise.

“Of course Massachusetts and the others are doing very well.” Enterprise said, “After separating from you last night, I took them straight to New York City, and then spent a few hours smashing a few venues in Queens, New York, and got a large amount of start-up capital. If I'm not mistaken, they should be helping a large group of people turn over a new leaf.”

“Of course, not all the money earned is used as business start-up capital. I also distributed a sum of money to everyone, such as the funds for my trip this time.”

“Looks like you guys are doing pretty well.” Hugo shrugged. He found that how his ship girls established themselves every time they arrived in a place had become a process.

For example, they always first find some local active social organizations to get money and housing, and then start trying to improve the lives of the people around them and take root locally, and finally gradually penetrate into the local magical world.

Of course, ordinary people can't do this kind of thing. Because this requires the person who commands all of this to have the force to give them an apology, a strong will, absolutely selfless qualities, and completely rational thinking in everything.

And ship girls naturally have a huge advantage in this regard, because as long as anything is not related to the admiral, then each of them can do this. This is why Hood and the others were able to take root in a place and gain a lot of supporters in a short period of time.
