He is the commander and the admiral.

While walking on the way to the port area, Roger saw that Xiao Beifang was full of curiosity about everything here, especially when he saw the Manju, he ran over with shining eyes, grabbed a Manju and held it in his hands, as if he was going to take it away, but in the end Roger let it go. After all, it is not a good idea to interrupt the other party's work.

After arriving at the office, Roger sat on the chair and re-entered the computer terminal. At this time, Xiao Beifang also ran over and sat on his lap, as if she was the owner of this port area now. She looked at Roger with satisfaction as he operated the computer to do things she didn't understand.

Roger just smiled at this and was quite happy about Xiao Beifang's attitude of sticking to him.

Newbie Commander: I would like to ask a question. I built a destroyer ship that I am completely unfamiliar with. I would like to ask if any of you seniors know anything about it.

Royal inmate (in prison): Destroyer? Then tell me what it is like. I know all destroyers no matter which faction they are from. (Hands his hands on his hips proudly)

Destroyers are the best: That's right! There is no destroyer we don't know! But there are destroyers we don't know. In this case, have you studied hard?

Faced with this problem, Roger really wanted to say that it was really not his problem. Then he picked up his mobile phone, took a selfie with Xiao Beifang, and forwarded it to the terminal.

And the message was replied very quickly.

Royal inmate (in prison): This... this is a completely unfamiliar child, but he's so cute! I can do this!!

The destroyer is the best: Indeed, this type of destroyer is awesome! I want her information right now!

Novice Commander: I came here to ask you if you know any intelligence, not to see you get sick! So have you heard of the Northern Fleet? She said that was her name.

Royal inmate (in prison): Not at all. Even your headquarters doesn’t have any clues?

Newbie Commander: Not at all. I can’t even find the relevant words.

Destroyer is the best: In this case, there is nothing we can do. This is the first time we have seen this child. The most we can do is to help you find someone else to ask, or you can ask her carefully.

Seeing this suggestion, Roger also turned his attention to the little Beifang on his lap.

"Little North, do you remember where you are from?"

"The north comes from the deep sea."

Deep Sea? Is that the name of the faction he belongs to? But I have never heard of such a word before.

"It can't be that the Siren is behind this again, right?"

Thinking of this possibility, Roger shook his head again, thinking that this situation was unlikely. After all, it was extremely outrageous no matter how you looked at it for his own shipyard to build Siren ships, right?

"Forget it, let's report it to the headquarters first and ask them to help a little. After all, we can't let this matter delay the work of the port."

Roger didn't plan to waste too much time on the matter of Xiao Beifang. After all, she was his own ship girl, and no matter where she came from, it would not affect the relationship between the two.

"But let Xiao Beifang and Lafei do some patrol missions first to familiarize themselves with the surrounding waters."

Roger began to think about assigning tasks to the two of them. After all, they had just arrived here and were unfamiliar with everything here. He also needed to find a chance for Xiao Beifang to practice. Although he was reluctant to do so, he had no choice but to do so due to the current shortage of manpower in the port area.

"Let's hold on for a while. Once that guy's ship is finished, he'll come over. By then, the situation in the port area will improve. For now, let Bri bring out the mass-produced ships and form a fleet."

Thinking of his classmate at school, Roger felt that his future was still full of hope.

"Well, Xiao Beifang, let me introduce a new friend to you."

Roger picked up Little Beifang from his lap and came to the sofa where Rafi was sleeping and said, "She is Rafi, a destroyer like you. From now on, you two will be companions and friends."

I originally thought that this was just a simple matter. After all, children would definitely not resist this matter. But when I saw Xiao Beifang's expression of unwillingness and even resistance, I felt that things seemed different from what I thought.

Chapter 4 Confusing Identity

"What's wrong? Why do you look like you don't like Lafite?"

Roger looked puzzled and said that the child's behavior just now seemed to be somewhat hostile towards Lafite.

After feeling something in his sleep, Rafi opened his eyes involuntarily. He looked at little Beifang who was held in Roger's arms. He tilted his head with a confused expression, wondering who the little girl in front of him was.

"The North has been bullied by people like her... Several people came together to bully the North."

"Bullying? Do you know the other person's name?"

It is almost impossible to see such a situation between ship girls, but in other words, this bullying is actually an attack? That would explain it.

"Hmm~ I've heard of someone called Chicheng..."

Wow! It's from the Red Axis! And it's from the Sakura Empire First Fleet.

"It's okay. Those who bully Xiao Beifang are all bad guys. Our shipgirls won't do that to Xiao Beifang."

Thinking of the experience his shipgirl had gone through in the past, Roger couldn't help but feel distressed. However, he soon thought of another possibility. Now that Little North was built by him, did it mean that it had been...

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she was just created and could know these things.

"Yeah...I'll protect you from now on."

Rafi also nodded in agreement, obviously thinking of the same situation as Roger.

Seeing that Laffey was indeed not as hostile to him as the ship girls he had met before, Xiao Beifang slowly relaxed and accepted the other party's kindness.

I have to say that looking at the two little destroyers walking hand in hand, Roger could understand those guys on the terminal who liked destroyers.

"No, no, no, I can't be like them!"

Roger shook his head to sober himself up. Compared with the guys above who were seniors with a long history, if he, a newly appointed commander, learned their behavior and indulged in the charm of the destroyer, the development of the port would definitely become difficult in the future.

“We have to be serious about this.”

Roger patted his face and cheered himself up to deal with the tasks in the port. After all, everything here was starting from scratch and there were too many things to deal with. Only by making the port prosperous would more ship girls be willing to come here.

"Lafei, you should take Xiao Beifang to the islands near the port area to carry out patrol missions. Get familiar with the sea area near the port area, and then advance to other areas."

Relying on the communication equipment, Roger arranged the location of this patrol mission for Rafi.

"learn."

After Lafite finished answering, he set off with Xiao Beifang. Then, when they were on the sea, Lafite couldn't help but take a look at Xiao Beifang's ship uniform, which looked very strange. No matter how you looked at it, it made people feel that it was something that a ship girl should have, let alone a destroyer.

"And...is it going to rain?"

Rafi looked up at the sky. It was a blue sky just now, but it was suddenly covered with dark clouds. This strange weather made Rafi wonder if he had encountered some troubles just after arriving in the new port area.

Abnormal climate is usually related to Sirens, who can rely on various devices placed in the sea to influence the weather and cause various effects.

Xiao Beifang was holding Lafite's hand with great anticipation, and seemed to be full of enthusiasm for this patrol mission. As for the weather problems in the sky, she did not feel nervous at all, after all, it was an impact caused by herself.

"Let's investigate first."

In a situation like this, Lafite felt that the possibility of it being Siren was not very high. After all, blocking the new commander's door directly was an outrageous thing no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, there were other ship girls stationed in other sea areas. It would be difficult for the other party to come here directly.

"Follow me."

"it is good!"

Xiao Beifang followed behind Lafite, and after patrolling along the way and becoming familiar with the sea area, Lafite did not discover anything.

"Am I worrying too much..."

Not finding anything, Lafite realized that he might have been overthinking, and then he relaxed a little. It was probably just a coincidence that he encountered such weather this time.

Thinking of this, Rafi continued to patrol the sea with Xiao Beifang. After a complete patrol, he took Xiao Beifang back to the port. The dark clouds that originally covered the sky gradually dissipated at this time. Rafi could not understand such a strange situation at all, and he reported this matter to Roger.

"Is the weather abnormal..."

Roger checked the weather conditions near his port area and found that it was sunny today. There were no dark clouds, not even cloudy days. So where did these dark clouds come from?

"You just became a commander, and you're already faced with a problem that's hard to understand?"

Roger rubbed his face. The commander's job was indeed not that simple. He suddenly missed the days in school. Even being educated by Mr. Langley seemed to be a happy thing now.

"Admiral, Admiral! The North knows!"

Roger lowered his head and looked at Xiao Beifang who was shaking with her hands on his legs. He found it incredible that she seemed to be able to understand this matter.

"Really? Does Xiao Beifang know what's going on?"

"Yes, because it is the North!"

"what?"

Roger was stunned for a moment, and was a little slow to react, but he quickly understood.

"Are you saying that the abnormal weather was caused by you?"

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing Xiao Beifang nodding his head affirmatively, Roger fell into deep thought. After all, this situation more or less made people feel that it was inappropriate. Generally speaking, is it something that a ship girl can do to affect the climate?

Roger became even more confused about Xiao Beifang's identity, but looking at her round and lovely eyes, the confusion in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Anyway, she's my own ship girl now, so there's no need to worry too much about this."

Roger didn't plan to delve too deeply into the identity of Little Beifang. If there were any clues, there would be some. If there were none, it wouldn't affect anything. After all, he couldn't just throw the child away, right? Not to mention, who would have the heart to throw away such a cute destroyer?

Chapter 5 This is a big profit

"In a situation like yours, you should be more careful."

"Yes...I'm so sorry."

Roger apologized to Langley in front of the communication video. He was asked to submit some arrangements and processing of the port area documents to her for review for the first time. The result was...

Although normally he is no longer under Langley's supervision, Roger has no objection to this kind of contact, not to mention that Langley contacted him specifically to check on her because he was worried about her situation.

"After all, this is your first time, so it's normal that you're not proficient for now. Anyway, we need to form a fleet around Laffite and the new destroyer group to attack and carry out the mission, or cooperate with other ship girls to attack and carry out the mission together. This is the most suitable thing for now. After all, it's better to cooperate with experienced ship girls."

"Okay, I know."

Roger listened to Langley's small suggestions and nodded to indicate that he understood. After ending the communication, Roger sighed slightly.

"Being a commander is more stressful than I thought."

The things that I need to be responsible for are more complicated than when I was studying in school, and this is just the beginning. When the port area develops in the future, the things that I need to be responsible for will be much more than now.

Not only does he need to be responsible for the operation of the port area, but he also needs to pay attention to issues related to the ship girls. Thinking of this, Roger looked at Xiao Beifang, who was lying by the window, shaking her feet and looking at something, and walked over to pick her up from the window.

"We should go eat, Little North."

"Have a meal?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beifang's eyes lit up. Seeing her expectant look, Roger woke up Rafi and went to the naval cafeteria together. In the naval cafeteria which seemed very empty at the moment, Manju, who was in charge of the meals, was already waiting there with a spoon in his hand and wearing a chef's hat.

In addition to the various foods suitable for ship girls, there are also foods that can be eaten by him as the commander. Of course, if you want to try the ship girls' food, that's fine, but whether you can adapt to the taste is another question.

"Please give me a navy curry, um, sweet."

After expressing his needs to Manju, Roger quickly got the food he needed from Manju, while Xiao Beifang put his whole face against the glass of the food pickup port, looking at the numerous ship girl dishes with shining eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to choose.

"You can eat whatever you want. You don't need to worry about how to choose."

"Really? Then can it be eaten in the north?"

After hearing Roger's words, Xiao Beifang's eyes lit up.

"sure."

Roger replied with a smile, and then looked with a bit of surprise at Xiao Beifang, whose appetite was somewhat inconsistent with his body size and who ate far more food than his body size.

"Does a destroyer have such a big appetite?"

Roger looked at the plate in front of Lafite beside him. His appetite was still normal. With such a comparison, one can see the peculiarity of Little North.

After feeling his sleeves being pulled, Roger turned his head and looked at Rafi beside him.

"Commander, this ship might not be a destroyer. Her ship's outfit doesn't look like a destroyer's."

"Isn't it a destroyer? Although I have thought so, in that case, does it mean an aircraft carrier like Mr. Langley?"

Roger looked at little Beifang, who was even younger than Langley, and found it somewhat difficult to imagine that a child like her would be associated with an aircraft carrier.

"Xiao Beifang, can your ship launch fighter jets?"

"meeting!"

Good man! Are you really an aircraft carrier?

Roger looked at Little Beifang as if he was showing him something. He took out black fighter models of completely unfamiliar sizes and placed them on the table.

"No wonder you want Zero Fighter."

Giving a torpedo launcher to an aircraft carrier is really absurd. If others knew about this, they would definitely laugh to death.

However, if this is the case, his previous training plan really needs to be changed. Also, can he afford to maintain an aircraft carrier now? This is a question that deserves careful consideration. However, for the time being, it seems that there is no need to worry about the ship equipment of Xiao Beifang. The opponent's air strike equipment is more or less complete, so he doesn't need to worry about anything at all.

“And then there’s this thing…”

Roger looked at the black ball next to Little Beifang, which he had always thought was some kind of floater. He felt that this thing might not be what he had thought before. When he reached out to grab one, the little thing did not make any move, allowing Roger to grope around on its body. Then, under Roger's touch, he saw it open its mouth like a mouth, and he could even see the tooth-like structure, and an 8-inch triple-barreled gun facing him...
