"Oh!! Kuro!!"
"The pride of Shells!"
"Idiot, you should call him Lieutenant General! He's also a source of pride for the East China Sea!!"
The residents started shouting.
The shout startled Kuro slightly.
"Everyone's here..."
Kuro scratched his head. "Really, I just sent a telegram to let you know; there was no need for so many people to come and answer it."
"Lieutenant General Kuro."
Lipa led the way, saluting Kuro, followed by a group of marines.
“Long time no see, Ripa.” Kuro nodded at him.
"Long time no see."
Lipa laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a lieutenant general. Sending you to headquarters back then was definitely the right choice."

Rika had grown taller than she had last year, and she was now wearing an apron with a navy insignia.
“Yes, I’ve become a trainee servant in the Navy.” Rika said with admiration in her eyes, “Later, I want to go to Headquarters and serve Kuro-nii.”
"Okay, good luck then."
Kuro chuckled and ruffled Rika's hair, then said to Ripa, "I'm going to pay respects to our ancestors first, we'll catch up later."
"Understood, I'll arrange for the others to rest."
Lipa nodded and led his men to guide the remaining navy personnel to rest.
Rika then stuck her tongue out at Ripa, "I don't want you to come. If you come, they won't even be able to eat any meat."
