The time-based admiral of KanColle

"Hurry up! Sister, we have to be the first to pick up the commander."

The sunny and lively Southwest Wind, with short silver hair lined with blue, excitedly grabbed the slightly introverted Northwest Wind beside him and started jumping and running outside.

Seeing this, Jiao Bedi and the others hurriedly packed up the tableware and followed anxiously.

"Hmm... Really, everyone. You weren't in a hurry just now."

Seeing that the Duke of Abruzzi and the others had left the restaurant and were about to go to the door to meet the commander, Pola sighed lightly and hurriedly put her tableware in order, then stood up.

At this moment, Pola, who was holding a piece of bread in her mouth, suddenly noticed that Zara, who was standing next to her, was smiling and taking Toricelli out from under the dining table. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Strange, sister, don't you want to go pick up the commander quickly?"

"Yes, but...someone has gone to pick up the commander before us, hehe."

With a charming smile on her delicate face, the mature and lovely Zara tied up her elegant red twin ponytails with a hairband. After all, there was no point in fighting for the first place now that it had been taken away.

So at the outermost gate of the Sardinian palace, Veneto and the others quickly waited in the main hall in an orderly manner.

Although these Sardinian ship girls are used to a leisurely lifestyle, their aristocratic bearing and proper etiquette will certainly not disappear.

So, just as Cavour and the others were waiting, the heavy gilded Sardinian gate was finally slowly pushed open.

However, the next second, the person who appeared in front of them was not a commander, but a graceful and elegant lady of the planning ship.

With his signature waist-length cascading blue hair, the slender Marco Polo held the Queen of Hearts' scepter in his hand, quickly pushed open the heavy door for Yaxu behind him, and appeared in front of Veneto and the others first.

Then, Marco Polo raised his beautiful face with a teardrop mole and solemnly announced to Yaxu behind him: "Welcome to our Sardinia, Commander."

"???"

Looking at Marco Polo who had directly snatched her lines not far away, Veneto still showed a natural smile despite her delicate mood, and asked Yaxu who had just come in affectionately: "Good morning, Commander, have you had breakfast?"

"I ate it at Iris's, but I could use some more."

"Hehe, Commander, give me a hug!"

After responding to Veneto and quickly catching the southwest wind that was flying towards him, Yaxu looked around with some anticipation. After all, according to the process of the past few days, each camp had prepared special ways of playing for him.

Sniffing the special sweet milky scent of the southwest wind in his arms, Yaxu took the initiative to ask Veneto in front of him: "Do you have any plans today?"

"Well, Commander, you can accompany me to bask in the sun and build a clay pot, or take a leisurely bath with us at the bathhouse all day long~?"

Seeing that Yaxu seemed to be asking her opinion about the date, Veneto, who was planning to relax with the commander, couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of her lips, clasped her hands together, and revealed a luxurious smile.

However, Pola, who was not far away, suddenly became a little nervous.

You should know that unlike other camps, the public Roman baths of their Sardinian Empire were specially built next to the camp dormitory area, which is convenient for the ship girls of other camps to come and visit and use.

Therefore, usually, some ship girls from other camps would come to their Roman Baths in Sardinia for mixed bathing between camps, so once Veneto really lets Yaxu take a bath for a whole day, they, Sardinia, will probably become the laughing stock of the entire port area tomorrow!

Thinking of the teasing looks from the other shipgirls in the bathhouse, Bora, blushing, hurried forward and took Yaxu's arm, and took the initiative to suggest to Yaxu: "Taking a bath or something, it's enough to take a bath at night, Commander, you should stay with us in the room."

"After all, the weather outside is so cold..."

As she spoke, Pola's voice became increasingly low and she couldn't help but bury her face guiltily in her full chest that was about to burst her uniform.

After all, apart from the gift she had prepared in advance, she had no other surprises to give to the commander.

As for Tianying and the others, they just simply wanted to spend time with Yaxu, so naturally they didn't prepare any interesting games.

Fortunately, just when Pola couldn't help but imagine Yaxu's disappointed expression, Marco Polo, who was full of execution, immediately spread his tender hands to Yaxu and directly invited Yaxu: "Commander, I have prepared an interesting gambling game for you today."

"Bet game, does it mean gambling?"

"That's right. We each offer special chips to each other, and then we switch offense and defense on a special poker table to compete for each other's chips in the form of a 'game'. What do you think?"

Marco Polo was playing with a Queen of Clubs card that he had taken out at some point with his slender hands wrapped in blue-gray silk sleeves. He then stuck out his special forked pink tongue at Yaxu with his lips slightly raised.

Admiring Marco Polo's seductive "two tongues", Yaxu, who had no guard against ship girls, naturally agreed immediately.

"Sure, but I have to make it clear that I am not familiar with the games on the gambling table. You can teach me the specific rules while you are at it."

Using the commander's cordial tone and with a slight smile, Yaxu reached out and took the playing cards from Marco Polo's hand, which was considered as his agreement.

Wait a minute, Commander! There must be something wrong with this plan for women!

After watching Yaxu accept Marco Polo's proposal, Pola was stunned for a moment and then looked at both sides in panic.

After all, the memory of coming across Marco Polo's secret plan with Sister Zara was still vivid in his mind. At this time, it was really suspicious for Marco Polo to propose a gambling game!

If the commander lost his position as a bargaining chip, wouldn't Marco Polo have to sit at the desk of the Admiral's Office the next day and issue a concession order to Sardinia, forcing their flagship with a natural contrast to go back to their hometown and build a sand arena! ?

Thinking of this, just as Pola, who was worried about the port and her flagship, was about to speak up to stop Marco Polo's plan, Zara on the other side gently held up her charming cheek with ease, and then said to Marco Polo playfully: "Ah la la, it sounds like it's very interesting."

"So if you don't mind, how about letting me join in as well?"

"Hey, sister...?"

Seeing that Zara also wanted to accompany Yaxu to participate, Pola, with her pupils shrinking slightly, immediately understood something.

Indeed! On the surface, she had no reason to stop Yaxu from getting close to Marco Polo, but as long as they participated together, they could protect the commander in the gambling game.

"Well... I can't do anything about you, Commander. In that case, I'll join in as well."

After glancing at Yaxu beside her with a slightly resentful look, Bola calmed down and put her hand on her chest, quickly expressing her desire to participate.

As a Zara-class heavy cruiser, she and her sister Zara are like the empire's swords, and naturally possess a confidence that does not belong to Marco Polo!

"Yeah, then Captain Dareko wants to participate as well."

"Hey, sisters Southwest Wind and Northwest Wind want to play too!"

"Wait, Southwest Wind, when did I say I wanted to participate?"

Looking at Xi Nan Feng who sold her out directly, Xi Nan Feng, who was lightly lifting her lady's uniform skirt, suddenly frowned slightly in embarrassment.

Fortunately, at this moment, the straightforward Julio reached out and pulled Southwest Wind and Darek back, and chuckled at the right time: "Little ship girl, you can't play this kind of betting game."

"Well, big sister, you are all too cunning."

Looking at Xi Nan Feng and the others with puffed cheeks, the gentle and cheerful Tian Ying couldn't help but reach out and touch Xi Nan Feng and Da Le Ke's little heads affectionately, and then said softly: "Okay, because this kind of game is not suitable for you either."

"That's right, let's ask the Commander to go to the movies with us."

Filled with the youthful vitality that only a young girl can have, Jiao Bedi waved to Yaxu eagerly, "Commander, please come here quickly."

At this moment, seeing Pola and the others suddenly interfere, Marco Polo, who was unable to react for a moment, could not help but frowning his beautiful eyes.

This is not good. According to her secret plan to please the Commander, she should play poker with the Commander alone, one on one.

After all, she already knew Yaxu's character very well. When it comes to promises, their commander is the type who will never break a promise once he makes it to their ship girls.

Thinking of this, Marco Polo couldn't help but slowly lower his wine-red eyelids and glanced at everyone present imperceptibly.

Was she really too careless? Although basically all the ship girls were not very interested in gambling games on the poker table, once it involved the participation of their dear commander, it was a different concept.

In short, it was troublesome. After all, if she refused to let Zara and the others participate now, her intention would be too obvious.

Besides, if she didn't let everyone participate now, it would make the commander unhappy.

After thinking it over for a while, Marco Polo, who was full of self-respect, naturally would not do anything petty. Instead, he said to Zara and the others generously, "In that case, you all should come and join me. I'll go change my clothes first."

"Okay...wait, do you still need to change clothes?!"

"Of course, after all, the atmosphere is very important, Commander~?"

Admiring Yaxu's cute expression full of surprise, Marco Polo smiled and said as he swayed his elegant gray Sardinian court robe and stepped on red and black high heels tied with ribbons, preparing to go back to his room to change into a pre-prepared uniform.

"Hehe~ You actually stole my Littorio's limelight. Interesting."

After noticing that Yaxu's attention was completely attracted by Marco Polo, Littorio, who had been watching the show with her hands on her hips, couldn't help but straighten her proud royal sister figure. Then, as if declaring her sovereignty, she directly hooked Yaxu's shoulders and held him in her soft arms.

Although she was overconfident and didn't care what Marco Polo wanted to do, she didn't want her husband to be seduced by other women on the ship in front of her.

"No choice. Count me in, Commander."

"Littorio, are you going to join us?"

Seeing that Littorio actually participated in this game led by others, Veneto was very surprised. While covering her soft lips, she also raised her silky white gloved hand to Yaxu and said affectionately: "It sounds really good for us to get together and play occasionally, Commander."

So that's it, is this the surprise of the Sardinian Empire?

Seeing this, Yaxu, who mistakenly thought that Veneto and the others had discussed this in advance, couldn't help but feel sincere expectations.

And at the same time——

After a day and a night of full-speed racing and with the help of the Siren's acceleration, Bismarck and Prince Eugen finally arrived at the waters around the United Nations zone.

"It seems that the illusory tower at the southern end of the Pacific Ocean has completely disappeared..."

Bismarck, who was always paying attention to all the information about this matter, was cutting through large waves on the blue sea and could not help but support his pretty head with his soft hands, looking thoughtful.

In response to this, the charming Prince Eugen yawned lazily, then looked at Bismarck's profile and ate his fingers happily.

Although she really wanted to tease this serious Persian cat, considering that there was no Yaxu to block it for her, Prince Eugen finally looked at the optimistic Purifier with amusement.

"Come to think of it, how do you usually view Little Bear Bear, Miss Purification (laughs)."

Chapter 1268: A game of chips where the soul is staked~?

At this moment, under the bright and clear blue sky, as the vast sea surface where the sea and sky are one color is cut by white waves, Prince Eugen's smiling question also echoes in the wisps of sea breeze.

"So, I wonder what you Sirens think of Little Bear."

"Hey, Miss Eugen, are you talking about Mr. Yaxu?"

Hearing the question from Prince Eugen, the Purifier who was jumping on the sea could not help but blink his golden eyes in surprise, then he chuckled, raised his delicate neck, and smiled back with his hands on his hips: "Hehe, of course the Purifier respects that great human gentleman~?"

"Haha, what you said really sounds like flattery. If possible, I would rather hear the truth..."

"That's disgusting. Of course, this is the 'truth' of Purification, Miss Eugen."

With her long, smooth ponytail swaying in the wind, the laughing Purifier suddenly sped up and patted Prince Eugen from behind carelessly.

However, Prince Eugen, with his beautiful eyes raised, naturally did not believe the Purifier's words. Instead, he took his soft jade fingers in his mouth with great interest, wondering what he was thinking about.

In response, Bismarck, who had been galloping in front of Prince Eugen and the Purifiers, calmly lowered his iron-blooded military cap and majestically reminded Prince Eugen and the others: "We are almost there, you'd better pay attention."

"Although there is no special news circulating now, the maritime bureaus of many regions have been summoned to the United Nations District for a meeting. I plan to use the commander's channel to listen in."

"Really, Bismarck, you really love to commandeer a ship."

Seeing Bismarck working without caring about the ship as usual, Prince Eugen said no more with a smile on his lips. Instead, he took out two sets of tight warm windbreakers from the ship's equipment space, put them on himself, and handed one to the Purifier.

"You'd better not release the slightest bit of Siren aura, Miss Purification. After all, we don't want to stand on the opposite side of human society all of a sudden, so if you are exposed, we will have to annihilate you ourselves for the sake of justice~?"

"Hehe, that's scary."

After covering her pretty head with the hood of her warm windbreaker and suppressing her breath, the Purifier playfully stuck out her pink tongue at Prince Eugen, and then continued to happily hum the Siren tune she had composed.

So half an hour later, as Bismarck and her team officially entered the United Nations area along the coastline, in a tightly blocked military building, Hutten was sitting behind a long table with a frown on his face, looking a little dissatisfied.

With his inky blue hair pinned with crimson horn-shaped ornaments, and his elaborate and delicate shoulder-wrapped uniform matched with the solemn iron-blooded medal, Hu Teng silently exudes an aura that keeps strangers away, and looks particularly dangerous.

"So, your world also knows basically nothing about the Sirens, or... you just want to hide the information from me."

There was no trace of emotion in the cold and indifferent tone. As Hu Teng spoke, he slightly raised his delicate face and looked forward with his pair of dark golden vertical pupils that hinted at danger, revealing an invisible sense of oppression.

Hearing this, an officer standing opposite the long table lowered his head nervously, and in front of him were several processed one-way cameras and communicators.

"Hmph~ You don't even dare to show up in front of me in person? Although being vigilant is a good thing, I hope you can cooperate with us."

After calmly glancing at the two rows of fully armed soldiers on both sides of the hall, Hu Teng slowly lifted his tight and slender legs from under the conference table and gently tapped the table in front of him.

"Out of sincerity, I have told you all the reasons why we came from other worlds, but you can't even tell me a little useful information about the Siren Ship Girl."

After expressing her dissatisfaction with the negotiation in a cold voice, Hu Teng couldn't help but lean back in displeasure.

After all, she could still sense that this world's Maritime Administration was ignorant of the Sirens. Apart from a few sighting reports and a personal contact experience, it could be said that they hadn't even touched the tail of the Siren ship girl.

But this is normal. After all, the world over there knew nothing about Sirens before they met the Embers.

But in this case, why would the Black Royal Ark let her come to this world?

Could it be that the intelligence was wrong... No, those Embers had no reason to deceive them at all, or was it that the Maritime Administration here was just the apparent management agency, and there were more secretive authority bodies above it?

After analyzing the various possibilities, Hu Teng, who still lacked intelligence, could only sigh softly. Then he stood up silently, ignored everyone present, and walked outside on his own.

"Anyway, as a ship girl, I stand on the same side as you humans, and I won't do anything here except to settle accounts with those Siren ship girls."

After silently emphasizing his position, Hu Teng said no more and walked out of the discussion room lightly in his tight boots embroidered with patterns.

Seeing this, the two ship girls standing at the door naturally would not stop Hu Teng, but watched Hu Teng leave with a subtle mood.

A ship girl from another world sounds magical...

Just as the two ship girls were feeling a little emotional, a brisk voice suddenly came over.
