The Admiral of Hogwarts

This living room, like the hallway, was filled with the atmosphere of old Victorian style. On the wall of the living room facing the outside, there was a bay window. Golden morning light shone in from outside the window, enveloping all the sofas and tables in the living room in a beautiful golden glow.

Hugo felt that he should take back his previous view. This house should be more than just Victorian in style. It should be a building from the Victorian era, except that later generations had modernized the interior of the rooms for convenience. After all, this kind of Victorian-style layout was not as convenient to live in compared to modern buildings, and nowadays only old houses left over from that era still maintain this layout.

"That's right, this house is a building from 1892." Sensing Hugo's inner doubts, Hood, who was cooking in the back, said to Hugo through the Admiral Network, "You need to know that even 100 years ago, Highgate was a high-end community in London. So there are many old houses like this in this area. And with the social customs here, living in this kind of old house is more representative of one's status than living in a new room."

"And for us, this style of room is more comfortable to live in." Firefly's voice came from the Admiral Network. "After all, the houses in our era were basically like this, so living in this kind of room is actually more convenient for us than those new houses."

Perhaps because they were meeting off-campus, everyone was a little unfamiliar at first. But soon this little bit of unfamiliarity was dispelled, and then everyone chatted about all kinds of interesting things and the assignments that the professors had given before Christmas.

When it was 12 noon, Hood prepared a table of delicacies. Among them, there were many flavors from various countries. As the protagonist of the empire's cruise in those years, she traveled all over the world, which also made Hood's cooking skills the best among the British ship girls, even the maid sisters were a little lacking compared to her in this regard.

"Hood-nee's cooking is really delicious." After finishing the meal, Hermione rubbed her stomach slightly distressedly and said to Hugo in a low voice. Her stomach was visibly bulging because she had eaten too much. "Was I a little rude at the dinner table just now?"

"No--" Hugo firmly shook his head, because Hermione's etiquette at the dinner table was indeed very good, at least for her age, it could be said to be very well-mannered.

"But I ate too much--" Before Hermione could finish her words, Hugo shook his hand. "Actually, you didn't eat much. Or rather, in terms of appetite, you ate the least of those who ate lunch."

After all, eating a large amount of food in a very short period of time with an elegant posture like a ship girl is not something that ordinary people can do, and this method can even give people an illusion, making normal people feel that they have not eaten much.

After lunch, everyone cleaned up the dining room together, and then returned to the living room for tea. After chatting for a few minutes, Veneto and Firefly began to invite Hermione to visit their bedrooms. And because Hugo was a man, it was not very convenient, so Hood took him to the game room on the first floor.

This was actually Hugo's arrangement, because he needed a little private space now to summon new ship girls. And this was also one of his main purposes for coming here today.

"We have already prepared the media for summoning ship girls." After entering the game room in the center of the room and closing the door, Hood turned on the light and said. Then she took out several boxes from the cabinet under the TV and opened them one by one.

"I have checked these, and they are all media that can summon ship girls." Just as Hood opened the boxes, some tiny symbols lit up on Hugo's shoulder, and finally condensed into Victory. As an existence similar to a system sprite, Victory is temporarily the only special existence that can appear by the Admiral and every ship girl at any time.

After the boxes were opened, Hugo checked the things in these boxes one by one, and found that there were badges, water glasses, knives, and even a folded red cloth. Obviously, these were all things from some places related to warships, or even parts of warships.

"Which ship girls do you think we should summon now?" After roughly checking these things, Hugo consulted Hood and Victory, "After all, our current focus of development is temporarily the world of ordinary people, so I hope to summon some ship girls that are convenient to cooperate with you."

"If based on my personal feelings, it would naturally be better to summon some of our fellow British ship girls." Hood said, "But from the perspective of external development, I think we should summon some Soviet ship girls. Because now in Whitechapel, or rather, in the entire London, there are more and more immigrants from Eastern Europe, and I think it should be more efficient for Soviet ship girls to deal with issues related to them."

"In that case, let's summon Soviet ship girls." Seeing that Victory did not express any other opinions, Hugo directly made a decision. After all, the nationality of the ship girls is not very important to him in the current situation. Since Soviet ship girls are more helpful to Hood and her actions, then he will naturally choose Soviet ship girls.

"What is this thing?" After making a decision, Hood immediately put away most of the boxes containing the media, leaving only five boxes on the table. The first box contained a red cloth, the second box contained a piece of bronze fragment that looked like it came from a statue, the third box contained a wooden carving of a woman holding a sword high, and the last two boxes contained two rivets that looked very similar.

"These are the media we collected about Soviet warships." After taking these things out, Hood put them on the table one by one, and said at the same time, "To be honest, these media are much easier to find than the media needed by the sisters of other factions. After all, things are a mess over there now, as long as you have money, many things are easy to do--"

"Sigh--" Hugo sighed and shook his head, then said. "Can you introduce what these media are specifically? Apart from that wooden statue, I can't guess what the other things are."

"Okay." Hood nodded, and then began to introduce what these media were. "These two rivets are both from warships, one from the Sverdlov-class light cruiser that was decommissioned two years ago, and the other from the turret of the Kirov-class light cruiser that was made into a monument. Now those polar bears are selling their active weapons all over the world, and we only spent a little money to get these inconspicuous small parts from the decommissioned weapons."

"Okay." Hugo nodded, then pointed to the wooden female statue and said. "This statue looks like the Motherland Calls statue on Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd, which was erected to commemorate the Battle of Stalingrad, right?"

"Yes, this rough wooden statue is one of the dozens of small samples made before the huge statue was made. It cost us a lot of money to get this statue out of the archives."

"But what does this have to do with the ship girls?" Hugo asked curiously.

"Of course it has something to do with it." Victory whispered in Hugo's ear. "The media for summoning ship girls does not necessarily have to be things from the original warship, it can also be other related media. For example, this statue representing Stalingrad is the best medium for summoning Comrade Stalingrad."

"I understand." Hugo nodded, he suddenly remembered that many of the ship girls in the game were blueprint warships. If it was limited to things from the warship, they might not be able to be summoned.
