Transmigrated into Azur Lane

Lin Dong rolled his eyes and agreed.

.....

"You just need to focus your attention on the incoming baseball and swing it by feel."

The company representative, holding a baseball in both hands, stood not far from Lin Dong and explained.

"Do not worry!"

Lin Dong, who was very concerned about his image, put on a serious face and stared intently at the baseball in the company's hands, holding the baseball bat with both hands. However, as he stared, his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the company's chest. The change from being completely focused on the baseball to staring at the company's ball made Lin Dong completely lose his focus.

The company thoughtfully aimed the baseball at the commander's bat and threw it.

'Snapped! '

The baseball struck the bat and bounced straight towards Lin Dong's eye socket.

"Uh……"

Lin Dong covered his eye where he had been hit.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Enterprise hurried over and asked nervously, inwardly grumbling that the commander was so useless, unable to even catch such a ball.

"It's nothing... haha."

Lin Dong waved his hand awkwardly and grinned sheepishly.

"How about you teach me how to swing the bat, honey?"

Lin Dong finally revealed his true colors.

"it is good."

Enterprise didn't think too much about it and simply stood behind the commander, wrapping his arms around the commander's body and taking his hand that was holding the baseball bat.

Lin Dong chuckled as he felt the softness behind him. While being 'taught' by the company, he secretly turned his head and winked at Ju Gaogao, who was still sitting on the stool. He saw Eldridge's ahoge (cowlick) tremble.

"Keep it up... I won't let you down!"

Upon receiving the signal from the cowlick, Lin Dong nodded enthusiastically to the person who had raised their head high.

It took him quite a while to finally deliver the message that the commander had misinterpreted.

"abnormal."

Chapter 82 Conversation in the Woods

"Whoo-hoo-hoo~"

Spence walked along crying, touching the bump on his head from being hit by a baseball bat. Because the sports field was too dangerous, Spence left the place of his sorrow alone after being comforted by Fletcher, and headed towards the dormitory building.

"Spence! Are you alright!?"

A dark figure suddenly darted out of the bushes and appeared in front of the Crybaby, approaching the pitiful Spence with a worried expression.

"Wa ...

Spence was quite startled by the sudden turn of events and fled the scene.

"Are you timid and afraid of the gentleness of your elders...? Next time, try a firmer approach. Good luck!"

Royal Ark stood still, cheering himself on.

....

"Commander, have you mastered it?"

Enterprise asked with a slightly flushed face, as she was almost pressed against the commander's back.

"will not."

Lin Dong said, gripping the baseball bat with a self-righteous air.

"......."

The company wasn't stupid either; sensing the commander in front of it intentionally leaning back, it roughly understood his wicked intentions.

"If the commander wants a hug, he should just say so. Why resort to such despicable means?"

The company is always straightforward and finds the Commander's dishonest behavior utterly distasteful. If he wanted a hug, he should have just said so; it's not like they wouldn't give it to him. Luckily, the company is either too honest or has overestimated the Commander's integrity, and hasn't yet realized that he's being taken advantage of, foolishly believing that the Commander just wants a hug.

"Really?"

Lin Dong turned his head and blinked. Because the two were very close, Lin Dong almost bumped into Qigong's face when he turned his head.

"……Um."

Enterprise looked at the commander with a slightly flushed face.

"Honey, shall we go for a walk?"

Lin Dong took the company's hand and said that the two of them had been more like old friends than husband and wife over the past few months, just like the saying Royal Ark often used: "Feelings arise from affection, but stop at propriety." Although it wasn't that serious, apart from occasionally holding hands and kissing cheeks, they were sometimes not as intimate as young couples.

The company, with its extremely low emotional intelligence, was puzzled as to why the commander would look at them with such hope. It was just a short walk, wasn't it?

"it is good."

Lin Dong smiled and led the company away from the sports field.

Meanwhile, the ahoge (cowlick) on the stool, which the two had forgotten about, kept swaying.

"Meow meow meow meow?"

.....

Phoenix Forest, on the stone path.

"Back then, Fletcher and the others were building a galleon. Brie forgot to bring her hammer, and in the end, she managed to attach the deck using a firefly's head. Hahahaha."

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he burst into laughter, while Enterprise, who was standing to the side, didn't quite understand the commander's joke and just stared blankly at Lin Dong.

"Uh...hehe"

Seeing that the company remained unmoved, Lin Dong scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing the commander's embarrassed expression, the company felt somewhat guilty and then took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.

"Commander, you have some dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well?"

"Ah, it's that Yuudachi guy again..."

Lin Dong, eager to interact, realized he had let something slip just as he was about to finish speaking.

"Xitachi?"

Enterprise then recalled the Commander's usual intimate interactions with Yuudachi. Although Yuudachi was quite old, her personality was like a child's. Enterprise hadn't thought much of the Commander's previous behavior towards Yuudachi, which resembled coaxing a child. However, considering the Commander's words and various clues, Enterprise could roughly guess what had happened. As a consistently victorious general, Enterprise was only slightly lacking in emotional intelligence; her intellectual intelligence was far beyond her usual level.

She immediately turned cold and stopped speaking, and the two of them suddenly fell into silence.

....

"Honey, um... let's sit for a while."

Lin Dong pointed to the stone bench and said, "The two of them have unknowingly walked into the depths of the woods."

"Ah."

The two sat on the stone bench in silence once again. Lin Dong was afraid of being killed by Enterprise and dared not speak, while Enterprise was recalling the bits and pieces of her reunion with the Commander. Upon reflection, even she herself felt something was strange. The Commander did not treat her like Nelson and the others did. Even Akagi, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, seemed to be much closer to the Commander than she was.

"commander."

The company suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Lin Dong stared at the company with his innocent-looking big eyes, looking utterly deserving of a beating.

Is there something... missing between us?

The company looked at the empty space with a puzzled expression, then slowly began to speak.

"I've spent most of my time on the battlefield, so there are many things I don't understand. I hope the commander won't be troubled by this..."

Lin Dong felt heartbroken seeing the company's distress. In his opinion, it was all because he hadn't cared enough about the company. Lin Dong then took the company's hand and said...

Let's go on a date!

"Dating?"

Chapter 83 Dating

"Ruyue, where are you going all by yourself?"

Just as Ruyue was about to head to the restroom, a dark figure blocked her way in the hallway.

'boom!'

The introverted Ruyue didn't say a word, but immediately deployed her ship's rigging and fired a main gun at the dark figure. Taking advantage of the moment when the dark figure was distracted, Ruyue turned and ran.

"Introverted and unresponsive to attention... I'll remember that... What an endearing destroyer..."

Royal Ark held the cannonball fired by Kisaragi in one hand, stylishly tossed his neat short hair, and said.

....

Stone benches in the Phoenix Forest.

"Dating?"

Enterprise looked at the commander, whose face was full of expectation, with a puzzled expression.

"Correct!"

Lin Dong nodded and continued.

"We didn't go on a date before we made our vows, right?"

"It seems so..."

The company frowned as it recalled its time at the Maritime Bureau, where it recalled how it had naturally signed an oath with the commander without any formal dating process.

"Don't you want to make up for it? The taste of love..."
