This book is also known as The Laid-Back Admiral’s Daily Escape from an Arranged Marriage. It’s a lighthearted Azur Lane story, and the shipgirls rarely fight.
“Admiral, the New Year’s oath ring gift package from the Governor-General’s Office has arrived, right?”
Helena, usually so capable, acted completely out of character. After entering the office, she didn’t immediately start on her secretary ship duties. Instead, she asked expectantly about the annual gift that the Governor-General’s Office sent to so many admirals.
“That’s right. It arrived last night.” Xun Guang nodded, his eyes still fixed on the handheld console in his hands. He said mournfully, “But you’re Helena! You’re a shipgirl who could be my mother. I thought you wouldn’t care about something like an oath ring. I never expected you to be the first to ask about it!”
“If Helena can’t have one, what about me?”
A mischievous voice came from behind him. Saratoga had sneaked in at some point to look for an oath ring, and finally couldn’t resist asking.
“A sister-in-law is always a sister-in-law!”
Xun Guang looked righteous, as if Saratoga’s question had insulted his character.
Saratoga’s face darkened. A sister-in-law was always a sister-in-law, but there wasn’t a single wife at the naval base!
