I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Ah~ I'm so envious... I also want to sleep and bathe with Yu-Yu..."

Ayanami, who was standing to the side, nodded and said:

"Me too, I want to play games with Youyou."

The reason Ayanami said that is because Yuhaka has a strong talent for games, and playing cooperative games with Yuhaka would undoubtedly make him a good teammate.

Hearing what the two said, Z23 crossed his arms and looked at Yuhaka and the others, suggesting:

"Hmm... how about you let Youyou stay there in rotation until her new place is finished?"

Upon hearing Z23's suggestion, Ayanami and Javelin's eyes lit up, clearly indicating that they both found Z23's suggestion quite appealing.

P.S.: I'll help with some housework and update this, since it's almost Chinese New Year.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1410 [Raffi suddenly understood something]

"As expected of 23-chan! To think she could come up with such a great idea!"

Ayanami, standing beside Javelin, nodded in agreement, indicating that Z23's idea was good. Laffey, who was with Eyhaka, also lit up upon hearing Z23's suggestion, clearly very interested. After all, Eyhaka was so energetic; playing with Eyhaka last time had kept her up all night. Hearing that Z23 and the others wanted to share her pain, Laffey immediately raised her little hand in agreement, saying:

"Lafite agrees too..."

After seeing Laffey agree, Ayanami and Javelin nodded and said:

"Then it's decided! Until Youyou's accommodation is settled, let Youyou stay with us in rotation! Z23 agrees, right?"

Z23, who was inexplicably dragged into this, looked at Javelin and the others with a bewildered expression, clearly not expecting to be involved as well.

"Wait?! Why do I need to do this too???"

Z23, looking completely bewildered, pointed to herself and said this, while Javelin and the others nodded in agreement.

"That's right, after all, it was 23-chan's idea, right? Shouldn't the person who proposed this idea be involved?"

"Yes, that's right, Des."

"Hmm... Raffi agrees too..."

Hearing Javelin and the others' words, Z23's lips twitched. Looking at the slightly upturned corners of the three people opposite her, it was clear that they wanted to drag her into this mess. Yuhaka was also looking at her with an expectant expression. Seeing Yuhaka's bright, sparkling eyes, Z23 didn't know what to say. If she wanted to refuse, Z23 was worried that she would hurt Yuhaka's feelings.

So, Z23 nodded helplessly and said:

"Ha... I really can't do anything with you guys. Fine, I'll join you too..."

Upon hearing Z23's compromise, Javelin and the others gave a high five, a gesture of "Yay!" However, before they could celebrate too soon, Z23 suddenly stated her own conditions:

"—But! I also have my own conditions. Because of work, when Youyou is with me, she also needs to study and work with me."

Upon hearing Z23's words, Yuhaka, who had been high-fiving along with Laffey and the others, wore an "OwO? ?" expression, clearly puzzled by Z23's condition. Javelin and the others were also stunned, as they hadn't expected Z23 to propose such a condition.

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Z23 raised a hand and gestured as if to explain:

"Don't rush to refuse! Learning with me will be very helpful for Youyou!"

Upon hearing Z23's words, everyone looked at Z23 with puzzled expressions, while Yuhaka tilted her head and looked at Z23, as if to see what the other party wanted to say.

Z23 then explained that the only outsider currently here is Yuhaka, while the others are ship girls who are very familiar with each other and know each other's strengths, such as skills, attributes, and fighting styles.

However, it would be difficult for the ship girls to get used to Yuhaka's fighting style. After all, Yuhaka's fighting style is too complicated, and it is quite difficult to figure out how much strength Yuhaka has.

Therefore, the only option is to let Yuhaka learn about the combat styles of other ship girls and what different types of ship girls can do. At that time, Yuhaka will also be able to take on the responsibility of commanding the squad leader.

If Z23 isn't familiar with the different types of ship girls, he's a little worried that Yuhaka might do something foolish like sending submarines to do anti-air defense or battleships to do anti-submarine warfare.

Upon hearing Z23's explanation, Javelin looked at him with some surprise and said:

"Huh? Does 23 mean she wants Yuu to be our commander?!"

Regarding the javelin's question, z23 shook his head, spread his hands, and said with a somewhat helpless expression:

"Regarding that, that's impossible. After all, the position of commander in Azur Lane isn't something you can just decide to do. Unlike commanders who only need considerable combat command experience, commanders in Azur Lane not only need considerable command skills, but also need to achieve a special compatibility with the mental cubes of our ship girls."

After hearing Z23's explanation, Yuhaka and the others had an expression that said, "I don't know what it means, but it sounds really impressive." Ayanami suddenly remembered something and asked Z23 a question:

"Question: Why is the adaptability of the Mind Cube necessary? Does simply needing command skills not make one a commander?"

Regarding Ayanami's question, Z23 looked at her with the same expression as a student who didn't like to listen in class, and said with a disappointed look:

"I've already addressed this in class, Ayanami-kun. The talent of a commander isn't something only humans can possess; our ship girls in Azur Lane can do these things too. After all, command talent might not be a human-only privilege."

Upon hearing Z23's words, Ayanami couldn't help but shrink back, after all, Z23-sensei still held considerable authority.

After seeing Rei Ayanami's reaction, Z23 sighed slightly and said:

"Of course, there are outstanding human commanders, but they all sacrificed themselves while protecting the human defenses during the Sirens' invasion. The human side also suffered considerable losses, which is the main reason for the current shortage of human commanders."

"The emergence of Azur Lane was also because humanity entrusted us with the task of fighting the Sirens, and they were responsible for our later work."

Upon hearing Z23's words, Ayanami and Laffey nodded in understanding, clearly indicating that the two kids hadn't been paying much attention in class.

Javelin looked at Z23 with a curious expression after hearing what Z23 said and asked:

"Speaking of which, 23-chan, what exactly is this 'adaptability' thing you mentioned about the Mind Cube?"

Upon hearing the question about javelins, Z23 shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and said:

"Unfortunately, we don't know the details. The research on this topic is just speculation, such as some kind of telepathy, a feeling of connection between them, or increasing the strength of the ship girls."

After receiving Z23's answer, Javelin and the others nodded with an "I see" expression, while Laffey looked at Z23 with an "OxO???" expression, as if she had heard something very shocking.

Seeing Lafite's somewhat shocked expression, Z23 couldn't help but ask with a hint of confusion:

"What's wrong, Raffi? You looked a little strange just now, as if you were spacing out."

Hearing Z23's words, Laffey snapped out of his daze, looked at Z23, and shook his head expressionlessly, saying:

"I guess... I want to sleep..."

Upon hearing Lafite's reply, Z23 couldn't help but twitch his lips and say:

"Is that so? But now we're going to show Yu-Yu around the port area. If you want to sleep, wait a little while."

After hearing Z23's words, Laffey rubbed against Yhaka and said:

"Yes, Laffey understands..."

Seeing Laffey and Yhaka so close together, Z23 couldn't help but feel a little confused. She wondered why Laffey and Yhaka seemed a bit too intimate.

After thinking about all this, Z23 felt it was nothing. After all, when they were in the imaginary space of Ehohaka, Ehohaka had given Lafite a lot of good wine to drink, which was probably the main reason why Lafite was relatively close to Ehohaka.

After thinking about it for a while, Z23 decided that this was a good thing and didn't think too much about it. So he continued to take Yuhaka to the port area to let Yuhaka get to know the surrounding facilities and buildings.

Raffia, who was standing close to Yuhaka, also had his eyes squinted and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, looking like a rabbit from Alien Rabbit who had received a bunch of carrots.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1411 [The Javelin Seems to Have Sensed Something]

Led by Z23, Yuhaka and her group toured the facilities and environment inside the port. Due to the Fog Fleet, a small portion of the facilities run by ship girls were temporarily closed because their owners had left. Most of the facilities were run by the little yellow chicks, so there was no need to worry about a lack of management. As for the number of little yellow chicks in Azur Lane, that was an unknown number, but it was known that the number of little yellow chicks had never decreased.

"This is the breakfast shop run by Pinghai and Ninghai from the Donghuang camp. Since it's already afternoon, they're closed. You can come and take a look when they open in the morning, Youyou."

"I understand, Yoyo~"

After hearing Z23's introduction, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood. At the same time, Yuhaka also made a note of the place, since he certainly wouldn't miss out on any good restaurants or similar places.

Following that, led by Z23, Yuhaka and her group arrived at a location that resembled a large supermarket. According to Z23, this large supermarket was the only one in the Azur Lane headquarters port area, where many things could be purchased.

Z23 then led Yuhaka and the others inside the supermarket. Yuhaka was surprised to see the goods inside the supermarket run by the little yellow chicks. Although Yuhaka had been to large supermarkets before, this was the first time she had seen a large supermarket like the one run by the little yellow chicks, which was like a fully automated factory. Most of the little yellow chicks here were operating machines to do their work.

So you can see the little yellow chickens driving engineering machines that look like SCVs to pick up goods.

Z23, who seemed to have thought of something, took out his employee card and said to Yuhaka:

"By the way, the currency here isn't like the paper money in the real world. Our common currency is a kind of coin that looks like a red diamond and a gold coin. Youyou, since you don't have the currency here yet, you can use my money for now. After I've taken care of things for you, you can take out some common currency to exchange for money."

Upon hearing Z23's words, Yuhaka nodded in understanding. Then, Yuhaka ran off to buy ingredients. Seeing Yuhaka heading to the ingredient section, Z23 seemed unsurprised. Clearly, Z23 had anticipated that Yuhaka would go to the ingredient section, as Z23 had interacted with Yuhaka quite a bit in the other world and had a general understanding of what kind of person Yuhaka was.

z23 turned to Raffi and the others beside her and said:

"Alright, you guys go pick out your favorite ingredients. I'm throwing a welcome party for Youyou today, and we're planning to have cheese fondue tonight."

Upon hearing Z23's words, Javelin and the others' eyes lit up as they replied:

"Hey! That's right! This is Yu-Yu's first time coming to our world, so we should definitely prepare a welcome party for her. After all, Yu-Yu threw a welcome party for us before!"

As for the javelin, Laffey and Ayanami nodded in agreement, as they also wanted to prepare a welcome party for Yhaka.

So, in this large supermarket, everyone followed Yuhaka to select ingredients and leave. Meanwhile, Javelin, who was selecting ingredients with Lafite, suddenly remembered something and asked Lafite:

"Hmm... It's a bit strange to ask this, but Laffey-chan, have you gotten a lot stronger lately?"

Upon hearing Javelin's sudden question, Lafite's fluffy twin tails bounced with a "duang," and then, with a blank expression, he put the wine back and said:

"Hmm? Hmm... perhaps, Laffey... is getting stronger?"

After hearing Laffey's answer, Javelin also showed an "OvO ???" expression. After all, what Laffey said sounded like he hadn't said anything at all. However, upon careful reflection, Javelin realized that Laffey's strength seemed to have increased a lot after coming to Yuhaka's world. Could it be that Laffey's strength improved much faster than theirs after changing environments?

This puzzled Javelin a bit, but she did know that when Laffey got serious, her fighting power was much stronger than theirs. However, Laffey was slightly stronger over there. Moreover, after returning to this world, Javelin felt that the teamwork between Yuhaka and Laffey was a little too perfect.

Could it be that because Raffi and Yuhaka spend more time together, their teamwork is slightly better than theirs?

This made Javelin a little curious, but she didn't intend to ask Laffey. Javelin generally believed that Laffey had been with Yhwach for a long time, so she had a lot of tacit understanding with Yhwach when fighting together. This was also the case with her and Z23. Their long-term fighting together, life experience, and learning together had also improved their teamwork. Of course, this was also the result of their mutual understanding and regular training.

But did Rafi and Yuhaka do any secret training or anything like that?

This made Javelin very curious. When it was Yhaka's turn to stay with her, Javelin planned to get along well with Yhaka and try to be as compatible as Rafi was with Yhaka.

Thinking about all this, Javelin gave herself a thumbs-up. Just then, Raffi suddenly called out to Javelin, bringing her back to reality from her thoughts.

.................................................. ................

At the dormitory where Z23 is located, Yuhaka and the others are lining up to welcome Yuhaka, who is visiting this world for the first time. Yuhaka has eaten cheese fondue quite a lot before, since it is very popular among hunters in the Monster Hunter world. This is because hunters consume a lot of energy due to the long hours of physical labor involved in hunting, and cheese fondue can provide them with a lot of energy. In a sense, it is a food that is relatively suitable for hunters' tastes.

Of course, cheese fondue is also quite popular among players who are hunters, since food that you don't have to worry about gaining weight in the game is often very attractive to them.

On the table was a hot pot that looked like a yin-yang pot, with cheese cooking on both sides. But in essence, the two kinds of cheese tasted very different: one was salty, and the other had a sweet and sour taste with a hint of fruit.

Next to the cheese fondue, there is a grill-like iron plate used for grilling ingredients to be dipped in cheese. Although you can cook the ingredients in cheese, it is better to cook them by frying. For example, meat will be crispier and more fragrant after being fried.

"The welcome party for Youyou to our world is just beginning!"

"Oh~"

After a toast, Yuhaka and the others drank their beverages and started eating their cheese fondue. While everyone enjoyed the delicious cheese fondue, Z23 handed Yuhaka her newly obtained ID card. After all, many facilities in Azur Lane require an ID card, and this ID card also functions similarly to a bank card, which Yuhaka can use to make purchases.

Upon hearing this, Yuhaka accepted the identity card from Z23 with sparkling eyes. At the same time, Z23 told Yuhaka to keep the identity card safe and prevent it from being misused by anyone. Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood.

P.S.: I can't stay awake any longer, going to sleep.
