Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1610 Duke of Abruzzi
After reopening the portal and coming outside the research institute, the azure ocean and sky of the Sardinia temporary port area had been dyed golden by the setting sun in the evening.

"No wonder you said that staying under the artificial starry sky for too long would disrupt your biological clock. I feel a little uncomfortable after leaving the institute."

Looking at the calm mirror-like sea sparkling with golden light, Lin Lan complained to Da Vinci who walked to the magic motorcycle and opened the door.

"Hmm... the process of adapting to light and darkness does cause discomfort. It seems that we need to consider setting up a buffer zone outside the astronomical exhibition hall when we return to the home port."

Lin Lan was originally just complaining casually, but unexpectedly, Da Vinci seemed to have gained inspiration from it. He stood by the car door, stroking his chin and fell into deep thought.

"We'll talk about this later. What's more important now is to attend the banquet."

Walking up to Da Vinci and the three little lolis, he smiled and helped the four Sardinian ship girls into the car with the elegant posture he learned from the Prince of Wales.

But to be honest, the appearance of the magic motorcycle, the Donghuang divine car, always made him feel strongly disobedient every time he glanced at it.

"da Vinci."

"Hmm? What's the matter Commander?"

"I think we should modify the appearance of the magic motorcycles used in the port area into a sedan model."

……

Overall, the mass-produced version of the magic motorcycle invented by Leonardo da Vinci is much better than the prototype in all aspects.

Da Vinci also upgraded and improved the system so that passengers could not communicate with the driver. Now he can clearly hear the conversation between the four Sardinian ship girls.

As the magic motorcycle drove into the temporary port area, a surprising scene appeared.

The streets of the Sardinia temporary port area, which were extremely deserted at noon, are now decorated with colorful flags and lights.

On both sides of the street, there were Brie sisters and barbarians waving flower petals and happily playing Sardinian music with musical instruments, making the scene very lively.

He soon realized that this was Veneto's way of making up for not having given him a grand welcome the night before.

"Oh! Look, look! That's the celebration hot air balloon! The port area hasn't been this lively for a long time!"

Hearing the joyful voices of the four Sardinian ship girls coming from the carriage, Lin Lan couldn't help but smile.

For the Sardinian Empire ship girls who have always been keen on holding celebrations, it is obvious that they have not held a lively celebration for a long time since he left them.

Only when he returned did his Sardinian ship girls finally start the grand celebration ceremony again.

While admiring the bustling Sardinia temporary port area, it took him less than ten minutes to drive all the way to his destination - the temporary port area restaurant where he had dined this morning.

It seemed that because we arrived too early, there was no Sardinian ship girl at the door, only a few Brie sisters laying the carpet.

He didn't even need to say a word, Da Vinci and the others opened the car door and jumped out impatiently.

Only Toricairi was hesitant and reluctant to get out of the car, as if he had a social phobia attack.

"We're still early, Torricelli. If you don't find a secluded seat quickly, you'll have to sit in the middle of the crowd when the dinner starts."

Leonardo da Vinci had his own way of guiding Torricelli, his old partner who was afraid of being noticed, and said with a smile.

Sure enough, facing Da Vinci's words, the black-haired little submarine girl could only cry and walk out of the magic motorcycle even if she was unwilling:
"You, you're right... Huhu... We need to quickly find a corner where no one will notice us."

While the two little lolis were talking, Lin Lan also walked out of the car.

He looked at the several Bries who were waiting at the entrance of the restaurant to greet him enthusiastically, and asked curiously:

"Have Veneto and everyone else taken their seats?" "No, bli! The Commander is here too early, bli!"

The purple girl in the lead, with her snow-white hair trembling, stared at him with her big blue eyes and answered with full energy:

"Now only Miss Roma, Miss Duchess of Abruzzi and Miss Giuseppe Garibaldi will come to direct everyone to set up the banquet venue buli!

"Miss Roma seemed to know that the commander would arrive early, so she went to the second floor of the restaurant to wait for the commander, buli!"

After hearing what Sister Bri said, Lin Lan also confirmed that Roma had led two Sardinian light cruiser girls to arrive early. In addition to preparing tonight's dishes, the most important purpose was to help him change clothes.

"Commander, go meet up with Sister Roma and the others and change your clothes. Leave the task of welcoming your new companions and setting up the dinner scene to us."

Pompey patted his chest confidently and urged him with a smile.

Lin Lan nodded, explained some things about their new companions to the four little Sardinian cuties, and then walked into the restaurant alone.

The Brie sisters are indeed the most efficient logistics staff in the port area. They have already decorated the lobby of the port area restaurant which will serve as the venue for the dinner.

In addition to the faint floral scent in the air, there is more of the aroma of cooking wafting from the kitchen.

The partitions had been removed to make room, and each table was already filled with exquisite decorations and unopened bottles of expensive wine and drinks.

Just as he was shuttling between the dining tables, thinking about whether he should go to the second floor to find Roma first, or go to the back kitchen to say hello to the two Sardinian light cruiser girls whom he had not met yet.

A magnetic and loving voice of a queen sounded silently from behind him:

"Oh, Commander, hello."

Before he could react, he was embraced by a pair of slender arms from behind.

When he saw that the arm that was hugging him was a prosthetic arm made of black machinery, Lin Lan knew the identity of the Sardinian light cruiser lady behind him even without turning around:

"Abruzzi, long time no see."

Softly calling out the name of the tall and voluptuous light cruiser girl, he turned his head and saw the elegant female face with short gray hair.

Those gem-like red eyes with purple highlights looked into his eyes lovingly, silently telling him the joy and excitement brought by the reunion.

A light cruiser of the Mercenary Captain class, Duke of Abruzzi.

The light cruiser lady, who was a noble of the Sardinian Empire, was wearing a dark green apron.

Hearing him calling out his name, the love in Abruzzi's eyes grew stronger, and he gently rubbed his cheek against his ear:

"Everything you have done, Commander, makes Abruzzi proud. Commander has unknowingly grown into someone that even I need to admire."

"You gave me the faith to persevere, my Abruzzi."

Hearing the Duke of Abruzzi say this, Lin Lan smiled, enjoying the softness pressed against his back, and responded softly.

Unlike the overall relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the Sardinian Empire, the serious and earnest character of the noble Duke of Abruzzi actually makes people feel more like the perfect head maid of the royal family.

It is for this reason that the Duke of Abruzzi's recognition and praise of him are so valuable.

At this time, a playful girl's voice, different from the calm and mature voice of the Duke of Abruzzi, with a sense of detachment and joy, sounded from the restaurant:
"Commander~ Don't just indulge in Sister Abruzzi's gentleness, come and hug Giuseppe who I haven't seen for a long time~"
