He is the commander and the admiral.

Akagi really wanted to know what would happen to the remaining ones. Would they do the same thing? Or would they do something special?

Thinking of the most undesirable situation, Akagi moved his face closer to Roger, wanting to hear his answer.

Looking at Akagi who was in such a dangerous state, Roger quickly calmed down after being panicked at first. After all, it was useless to panic about such things. Another problem was that although the relationship between the two sides was still quite good at present, especially the reaction shown by Akagi, it made people understand her thoughts clearly.

But this only starts from now on. I can't possibly say that there was something wrong with our previous relationship and that I feel sorry for her because of this, right?

“It’s just the same thing…”

So Roger finally answered the question, and after hearing this answer, Akagi's face turned gloomy, as if he was a brewing volcano that was about to erupt.

But soon Akagi's expression turned into a smile, and then he gently stroked Roger's face.

"In that case, Commander, from now on, all matters like this should be handed over to Akagi. There is no need to trouble others, and there is no need to look for any vixen. Just let Akagi handle it."

"I'll leave it all to you? You...you mean..."

Roger understood what Akagi meant, but to be honest, he couldn't be happy about such things.

"That's right. From now on, Akagi is the commander's Akagi. I will stay by your side and help you solve all problems and enemies. No matter what the matter is, just leave it to Akagi!"

Akagi held Roger's face in her hands, as if she was stroking a precious treasure, and her face was full of obsession.

"This...things like this..."

"Any questions, Commander?"

Akagi asked back, and at the same time Roger felt that the hand holding his face was slightly stronger. He could also feel that the mental network could sense Akagi's nervousness, and there was a sense of danger hidden under this nervousness.

"That is... Is it okay for you to ignore the Sakura Empire like this?"

"I see. Since I plan to follow you, Commander, why don't we let Mikasa-senpai return to the Empire of Sakura? With her and Shinano-senpai together, they will surely be able to lead everyone in the Empire of Sakura to a better future."

Akagi expressed his thoughts. He wanted Mikasa to bring all the Sakura Empire ship girls in Roger Port back to Sakura Empire. This way, she would reduce her potential opponents at once. And Akagi thought that Mikasa would not refuse such a thing. After all, the importance of Sakura Empire must be valued by the other party. As for herself?

Oh~ Now that she has a commander, who would bother to take care of the affairs of the Sakura Empire? Besides, she has also found someone who can take over the responsibility, so there is even less need for her to worry about anything.

After listening to Akagi's answer, Roger also knew her emotional reaction at the moment. He realized that the other party was now planning to drive away all potential rivals from her side. This was really not a good thing.

"Then you should talk to Mikasa about this matter."

"Should I go and tell him?"

Hearing what Roger said, Akagi nodded silently to show that he understood. Then after getting up, Akagi appeared in front of everyone with Roger. Taihou's eyes suddenly widened a lot.

"Why are you next to the commander? And why are you doing such an intimate thing?"

Seeing Akagi hugging Roger's arm intimately early in the morning, Taifeng immediately thought of various possibilities, and even thought that the other party had sneaked into Roger's room last night when they were not paying attention, and then...

"Why are you so excited? This is just a very common thing. I am just waking up the commander."

very common?

The more Akagi said this, the more Taiho felt that something was wrong. She thought that the other party must have done something shameful to Roger. The more she thought about it, the more difficult it was for Taiho to control her emotions.

Fortunately, Mikasa came forward to appease Taihou in time to avoid any fight between the two. Enterprise, looking at Akagi's performance at this time, was sure of her plan in her heart.

"Are you planning on following the Commander, Akagi?"

"That's right. After all, there are a lot of things around the commander that need to be cleaned up."

Akagi admitted it openly, or rather, she would not hide such a thing at all, but would tell everyone what she thought of Roger. In simple terms, she wanted to declare her sovereignty and let everyone know one thing, that is, the commander would be hers from now on!

Chapter 233 You are responsible for management

Not only did Akagi admit it, but she also openly acted as if the commander belonged to her, which immediately caused Taiho and Cheshire to have the biggest reaction, especially when she mentioned the things that needed to be cleaned up, she even glanced at Taiho.

"You have caused so much trouble to the commander! And now you have the audacity to do such a thing!"

"That's right! You actually want to take my dear away! This is really too much!"

"So what I am doing now is to make up for my previous mistakes. Therefore, I will stay by the commander's side and help him deal with many things."

Since she said that she had caused a lot of problems, it was okay for her to offer to help in order to make up for her previous mistakes, right? And in order to ensure that things were completed at any time, it was reasonable for her to stay by Roger's side, right?

Akagi's answer made Taihou grit her teeth. She didn't expect that she would use such an excuse to achieve her goal.

"But what about the Sakura Empire? Akagi-senpai, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to go to the commander like this?"

Shokaku asked about this matter. After all, there were many things in Sakura Empire that were handled and arranged by Akagi. If she ran away irresponsibly like this, what should Sakura Empire do?

"Well, because of what happened before, I feel that I am not suitable to continue to be in charge of handling the affairs of the Sakura Empire. I am worried that something similar will happen again, so I hope that Senior Mikasa can take charge of this matter. With her around, there will definitely be no problem with the Sakura Empire."

Akagi gave the answer she had already thought of, and she believed that Mikasa would not refuse this.

"Eh? Me?"

Akagi suddenly threw the matter onto her, which made Mikasa unable to react. She subconsciously looked at Roger, obviously wanting to hear his thoughts. She would definitely not ignore the affairs of Sakura Empire, but there was one thing she was unwilling to accept, that is, if she stayed, then she would be separated from Roger!

Akagi saw the hesitation and distress on Mikasa's expression, and immediately realized that she also had some thoughts about Roger in her heart. This situation was not good news, because it might make the other party unwilling to accept it, so Akagi felt that he should try a little harder.

"Yes, after all, Senior Mikasa takes everything about the Sakura Empire very seriously, unlike me who would do something rashly. So if it's you, Senior, you will definitely make the Sakura Empire stronger. I believe in your ability."

Akagi's words made Mikasa even more confused about how to respond. Shokaku saw through Akagi's idea, which was to rely entirely on her previous behavior to belittle herself and at the same time completely elevate Mikasa, giving her the opportunity to directly extricate herself from the affairs of the Sakura Empire and focus all her attention on the commander. She could also further get some people away from the commander. She believed that if senior Mikasa was really convinced.

Then, Taihou and the others might be kept in the port area of ​​Sakura Empire for some other reasons. It has to be said that Akagi was so powerful right from the start.

"You are just trying to get rid of us! Commander! You must not listen to this girl! You must not let her plot succeed!"

Taihou, who also saw through Akagi's plan, tried to persuade Roger not to let Akagi's scheme succeed.

"I think this matter should be decided by Nagato, right?"

Roger was unable to make any decision for a moment. He felt that the current situation was completely beyond his ability to manage, and it would be more appropriate for Nagato to decide. After all, she was the flagship and main person in charge of the Sakura Empire. Even if she did not manage internal affairs, there was no doubt that this matter should be decided by her.

"Indeed, the decision on how to deal with the previous problems of Akagi and the subsequent management and arrangements of the Sakura Empire should be made by Nagato."

Mikasa immediately nodded in agreement, feeling somewhat relieved, but still a little worried whether Nagato would really do as Akagi said and rescue her. If Nagato really asked her to do so, it would be difficult for her to refuse.

"Tsk!"

Akagi did not expect the situation to turn out like this, especially since it was Roger who said this, which made her even more helpless. Therefore, the final decision on this matter fell on Nagato.

When everyone found Nagato and explained the matter, Nagato looked confused. She didn't understand how this matter came to her. She hadn't thought about dealing with Akagi's matter. Now that she was suddenly asked this question, she didn't know what to say. Therefore...

"What do you think about this matter?"

Nagato threw the question back in front of Roger, as if he wanted to hear his opinion first.

"Ah? Me? Is it okay to listen to my opinion on this matter?"

"Of course, you are the biggest contributor to saving Sakura Empire, so your opinion is also very important. Moreover, Lord Shinano has also told me that if possible, Sakura Empire can have more interactions with you in the future, and even hopes that you can be responsible for Sakura Empire's affairs."

Nagato's expression became serious, and her tone was full of approval, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard her say that.

"Are you planning to let the commander take over the Sakura Empire? But if it is the commander, I can accept it."

Kaohsiung didn't have too many objections. After all, Roger's actions in Sakura Empire had already proved his ability. He was completely capable. Even the fact that he saved Sakura Empire in the end was enough to give most people no reason to refuse.

"Does that mean I'll be working with the commander's subordinates from now on? If I think about it this way, it seems pretty good. Life will suddenly become more fun."

Atago looked at Roger, and the expression on her face became playful.

"Then Commander, please tell me about Akagi's handling of the situation. No matter how special the matter is, Akagi will accept it all~"

Akagi said some suggestive words in front of everyone without any shyness, which not only made Nagato blush, but also made Taihou even more angry, making the scene a little noisy again.

Chapter 234 Everyone thinks they are the best

"this…"

Roger looked a little distressed, not only because Akagi's eyes were extremely fiery, but also because Taihou was staring at him. Although he had originally planned to cooperate with Sakura Empire again, now he was told that he would be responsible for Sakura Empire's affairs. This situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Regarding the Akagi incident, although it was you who took the initiative to swap the sacred stone that led to the subsequent situation, this incident was not caused by your own ideas, so the punishment is to be fully responsible for the losses caused during this period, and at the same time take care of your companions who are still injured and unable to move. Especially now that you are in your current situation, you need to control your emotions well. Things like this also provide opportunities."

"Huh? Take care of them? Commander! Shouldn't this kind of punishment be called..."

"This punishment is perfect! You are worthy of being the Commander!"

Akagi originally thought it would be a very good opportunity, but who would have thought that Roger would arrange this matter like this. This was something she found hard to accept, but Dafeng was undoubtedly very happy about this, especially when she saw Akagi's unwilling look, she laughed even happier.

"This is my punishment for you, Akagi, do you have anything else to say?"

"…there is none left."

Even though she was helpless, Akagi had no choice but to accept this result. At the same time, she thought that perhaps she should have said this in private. After all, Roger would not ask her to serve him in front of everyone. Even if she did not care about other people's opinions, Roger could not do it. Moreover, if he said this in front of so many people, it would easily make them feel that it was unreliable to hand over Sakura Empire to such a person.

"As for the management of Sakura Empire... I don't think I need to intervene in this matter. Sakura Empire can handle it by itself. There is no need for me to intervene. Besides, it's already tiring to handle the affairs of my own port. If I have to deal with Sakura Empire, it will be too difficult for me."

The thought that if he were to manage two port areas, he would probably have to sit in his seat the whole day was terrifying.

"Then let Akagi handle the affairs of the Sakura Empire."

After hearing what Roger said, Nagato handed these matters back to Akagi, but this situation was undoubtedly unacceptable to Akagi. She already had a lot of things to do, and with the responsibility of port management, it would not be easy to find Roger later.

"Nagato-sama! I feel that I am not suitable for this matter now. Let's hand it over to Mikasa-senpai. She is more suitable than me to take charge of all this in every way."

Akagi pushed Mikasa out and talked about it. After all, he originally wanted to swap her away from Roger to eliminate a potential opponent.

"Mikasa-senpai, this girl has a conspiracy. She wants to drive all of us away from the commander, so we can't agree to something like this!"

Taiho whispered in Mikasa's ear, hoping to make her understand Akagi's plan. After all, if Mikasa left, her strength to deal with Akagi would be much weaker, which would be very disadvantageous. Therefore, it was necessary to maintain the current situation to better ensure that the other party would not succeed.

"this…"

Mikasa's expression was tangled. She understood what Taihou meant, but she couldn't just ignore the affairs of the Sakura Empire because of something like this, right? Although she also wanted to spend more time with Roger, her sense of responsibility made it impossible for her to ignore what was happening in front of her.

Thinking of this, Mikasa couldn't help but look at Roger. Obviously, she was going to listen to his decision about this matter.

"Mikasa, you will be in charge for the time being. Once Akagi's situation is resolved, you can hand things over to her."

"I see."

Mikasa nodded and agreed after hearing this, but all this did not make Akagi very happy. After all, Roger just said that once her problem was solved, he would let her be in charge of Sakura Empire's affairs again. Would it make any difference in the end?

Therefore, Akagi soon came up with a new idea.

"Commander, I think if Lord Nagato is planning to let you take charge of the new affairs, even if we can assist you in managing Sakura Empire, it is not appropriate to divide the port into two types as it is now."

"Hmm? What you mean is..."

"Let's merge the ports of both sides into one place. This will not only allow for better management, but also better command and arrangement of all the ship girls, greatly increasing the overall strength. After all, if they are scattered like this, it will be difficult to use all the forces and command quickly."

Akagi's proposal sounded really good to everyone, and it was indeed a very good plan.

"So Commander, do you want to move everything in the original port area to the Sakura Islands? In addition to leaving some supplies behind so that our companions who pass by that sea area in the future can have a place to rest, the rest of the things will be brought here. After all, the Sakura Islands have a geographical advantage, and the barrier defenses that have been set up for a long time can ensure safety."

Akagi looked at Roger expectantly when he said this, while Prince of Wales and Enterprise, who originally had no problem with this matter, suddenly realized that they were planning to keep Roger completely in Sakura Empire.

"If that's the case, the White Eagle port area would be more suitable!"

In a matter like this, Enterprise would not sit idly by and watch Akagi succeed. Although they had not made such a proposal before, it was because there was no suitable time and reason. But now that Akagi has proposed to merge forces, she will take this opportunity to pull Roger to White Eagle's side.

"I think we should choose the Royal Port District. After all, the commander has been working with us the longest."

For a moment, the three parties began to argue, and Roger also had a headache when looking at the scene in front of him. The matter in front of him was not so easy to deal with. If he was not careful, it was very likely that the ship girls of the three parties would not be satisfied. At that time, he might have a headache.

Chapter 235: Purifier, let’s talk

Regarding the choice of this matter, no decision was made in the end, or it could be said that it was impossible to decide at this time, so Roger did not make a decision. No one had any objection to this. After all, the current situation was not to the point where they were absolutely sure that Roger would make the choice they wanted, so this choice of leaving things for later was acceptable to everyone.

"These are the results of the previous research of the Sakura Empire. If there is anything you need, the detailed information will be prepared."

"This is somewhat impressive, but it also gives people the feeling that Siren is specifically providing and helping the research progress and development in this area."

After looking at the information on the desktop, Roger realized that the rapid development of Sakura Empire over the years was largely due to the Sirens. It was the help provided by the Sirens that enabled Sakura Empire to develop so quickly.

"In fact, it's not just the Sakura Empire. The same is true for the Iron Bloods as well. The reason behind this is somewhat strange. The enemy Siren is helping us like they're worried that we're not developing fast enough."

Mikasa was very confused about this situation. Was Siren doing this to train an opponent? Or was it simply for experimentation?

"The Sirens are indeed a group of people that are hard to understand. They even do a series of things that are hard to understand."

Roger put the information down and said that there was still no conclusion about the Siren matter. Then he turned his head and looked at Akagi beside him.

"Akagi, you have so much contact with them, so logically you should be more familiar with them, right?"

"Regarding this matter, Akagi really wants to tell the commander a very detailed situation, but unfortunately, I can't say too much about this matter. When I contacted the Siren named Observer α, I only talked about some cooperation matters. There is nothing else. After all, the other party will not answer me."

"But it also revealed some things about the future."

"What will happen in the future? Will it be like META Kaohsiung and the others?"
