Crossing the azure as a black dragon

The Prince of Wales was not interested in the wild chicks, or rather, he had seen them so often that he had gotten used to them.

Before the birth of ship girls, humans made many attempts with the power of the Rubik's Cube. Many technologies today were developed and expanded from that period, and perhaps Manju is one of the results.

However, no one can say for sure, because that period of crazy experiments has been buried in the long river of history by various countries, and these non-human beings simply cannot trace back to that distant past.

"Um…"

Black Flying Dragon felt something was off; she had a feeling that Manjuu was a very important point.

"Lord Black Dragon, Lord Amagi and I have gone to inspect the port area."

Surprisingly, Shen Tong didn't answer the question posed by Hei Feilong. Instead, he spread his hands and pointed to Tiancheng, asking Hei Feilong for instructions.

"Go ahead, and while you're at it, remind the staff at the commission hall to be careful when the ship girls go out to sea."

Black Flying Dragon nodded to Shentong and gave him a word of advice.

"Understood, Lord Amagi, please."

Shentong nodded in acceptance, then turned to face Tiancheng.

He left the command center.

After watching the two leave, Black Flying Dragon pondered for a moment before speaking:

“Last night, Prince Eugen Totirpitz came to inquire about your situation.”

The Prince of Wales paused, pen in hand, then sighed with a hint of helplessness: "And then?"

"I told you you can't leave here yet, you'll have to wait a while. Also, Ivyla went to Prince Eugen's experimental base yesterday, so there shouldn't be any major problems afterward."

Black Dragon gave his answer and also offered a word of comfort.

It's said that Eugen was annoyed by the experiments going wrong, so he turned his attention to Welsh. If the experiments go smoothly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Really? That's great."

The Prince of Wales smiled, signed his name, and tapped the documents together on the table.

"However, I don't think you're hiding here to avoid Eugen."

Black Flying Dragon leaned against the wall by the window, arms crossed, and casually asked a question.

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

The Prince of Wales turned the table and chairs 90 degrees and looked at the black dragon with some surprise.

"I've heard that besides Eugen, there are quite a few other people who are very close to you..."

Black Dragon's gaze fell subtly on Wales.

"Well, it's because of my job, it's all socializing. Besides, we're not that close, maybe a little closer than we are."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Wales coughed twice, then chuckled and offered an explanation.

"Better than the two of us? Don't you know Eugen is even wary of me?"

Black Flying Dragon's eyes widened immediately. This guy didn't look honest, but he was actually even more dishonest than he appeared.

"Haha, how could that be? You and Eugen have a pretty good relationship too."

The Prince of Wales smiled and waved his hand, not believing the Black Dragon's nonsense.

"That's true, but first tell me a number so I can see if there's any hope for you."

Black Dragon realized that she did have a good relationship with both of them, but the problem now lay not with her, but with the Prince of Wales.

Even in Formidable's eyes, she's a womanizer. The Prince of Wales dares to pursue multiple relationships, and Eugen only recently caused trouble for her—that's incredibly magnanimous. Formidable should learn from her.

"Not many, just a dozen or so. There are more outside the port area, and only a few inside the port area... What's with that expression?"

The Prince of Wales counted on his fingers, then looked up and saw the black dragon looking like it had seen a ghost.

"I already told you these are all just social obligations. Now that I'm taking the blame for you, you seem very relaxed. But once I'm gone, you'll realize that people in this position, especially capable ones like us, are very popular... Okay, but there's really no other way. We can't just cut off contact, can we? If they find their way into the port area, I'll be in even more trouble."

The Prince of Wales tried to argue his case and find a legitimate reason, but gave up after seeing the increasingly disgusted look on the black dragon's face.

"I feel like you're hopeless. Just make do with it. Besides, if you leave, someone else will take the fall for me. You know what I mean?"

Black Dragon shook his head, indicating that Wales' excuse was flimsy.

"Don't you feel any remorse for exploiting your colleagues like this?"

The Prince of Wales reached out and poked his chest.

"I feel like it sounds weird coming from you. I'm just leaving things I'm not good at to people who are. Instead of me, I think you should go back and apologize to Eugen honestly. She should forgive you."

Black Dragon made a comment and then offered his own opinion.

She had previously thought that Prinz Eugen was a good woman who acted like a bad woman, but now it seems that Princess Eugen might be even better than she imagined.

"That's what I think too."

The Prince of Wales nodded in approval.

"..."

Black Dragon stared silently at the Prince of Wales until he showed a look of shame before she let him go.

Are there managers like me in the free port area? Like the one you're currently in.

Black Flying Dragon withdrew his gaze and asked casually.

Prince Eugen and Prince of Wales were both rather eccentric, the type to act one way on the surface and think another way in their hearts. Prince Eugen appeared very assertive to outsiders, possessive yet very tolerant, while Prince of Wales appeared frivolous to outsiders, but revealed his true nature when facing Eugen. Moreover, both of them had a very good grasp of each other's personality and habits.

In other words, the two are actually very much in love, and this time it was just a minor conflict that they could easily resolve with just a few words.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen holds this position, although the situation is similar to yours."

The Prince of Wales shrugged.

"I think so too."

Black Dragon nodded.

The Prince of Wales felt something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on why.

So when are you planning to go back?

Black Dragon asked another question.

Eugen has already shown great urgency. The Royal Ironbloods have all asked, and she suspects that if the Prince of Wales isn't allowed to return soon, the next time it will be the Enterprises coming to inquire about the situation, and Akagi might even come over to make sarcastic remarks.

She didn't want to be the bad guy.

"I'll be back in two or three days... anyway, once I'm gone..."

Let Tiancheng take this position; we can't let her think it's easy to get. Let's leave her out for a few days first.

The Prince of Wales leaned back in his chair, his words firm but also revealing a hint of helplessness.

Among the Sakura Empire's forces, aside from Shinano, who is legendary but rarely appears, Amagi is the one who poses the most troublesome to her.

She had encountered other Amagi before, but those Amagi were all influenced by their respective commanders, loyal to their own commanders, and controlled their own ports. In truth, they weren't that difficult to deal with.

The only one brought back by Black Dragon, Amagi, had lost its commander from the very beginning. It is unclear who he was loyal to. The sphere of influence he touched expanded directly from the port area to the nation. This amount of information is much larger than that of a single port area, and the things he came into contact with were not on the same level.

Unfortunately, Black Flying Dragon, that big idiot, still trusts her so much, and this matter has already spread far and wide. It's estimated that once she leaves, this branch port will soon be taken over by Tiancheng. How could she not be worried?

"That's really reliable."

Black Flying Dragon praised with a smile.

The Prince of Wales shook his head, turned his chair, and continued reading the report on his desk.

She usually starts her work in the afternoon, so the remaining work is left to be done the next morning. The royal work hours are very flexible, although in Donghuang they still follow the royal work hours.

"Although Tiancheng will handle these documents on my behalf, the final decision-making power rests with me. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Donghuang."

Black Dragon scratched his head and made a promise.

“What’s the use of just talking? Go and inspect the port area immediately. Inspect it at least once a day.”

The Prince of Wales said as he signed the report.

"I have never seen Queen Elizabeth inspect the port area once a day."

Black Dragon retorted.

"His Majesty's will is our will, so my daily inspection represents His Majesty's inspection, but one inspection of Tiancheng does not represent your inspection."

The Prince of Wales tapped the table with his finger, making a thumping sound. (QQ group: 543659389)

"Oh well, I guess I'll go then."

Black Flying Dragon reluctantly shoved his hands into his pockets and walked out of the command room.

Chapter 109 The Sudden Appearance of a UR-Class Commander

Inspecting the port area, although it sounds simple, is actually a very time-consuming task.

The branch port covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, and it is like a small town. Just walking around it takes a lot of time, not to mention that you have to talk to the ship girls living here and receive some of their feedback. By the time you finish walking around, it is already noon.

"Do we really need to turn it every day?"

Black Dragon returned to the command room, where the Prince of Wales was leisurely sipping tea, preparing to leave work. Upon seeing this scene, she suddenly felt that her position as boss was no longer appealing.

How did it feel after the lap?

The Prince of Wales finished organizing the documents, stood up, and asked a question instead of answering.

"It's alright."

Black Flying Dragon stroked his chin as he recalled the girls who had approached him and struck up conversations on the street.

More and more people are joining the port area, and everyone is satisfied with their life here and has some aspirations for the future.

One thing that surprised her was that, in addition to the ship girls from the Eastern Empire, foreign independent ship girls were also coming here. This led her to discover that the people here had different lifestyles than the people she had encountered before. She also heard many interesting stories and information, as well as a lot of positive and negative feedback. She planned to make a list and give it to Jintsuu later.

"Well, you said before that this place is similar to the Free Port, but in my opinion, there are still big differences. The territories of the ship girls from different factions are very clearly divided over there. It looks very harmonious, but in reality, there is no unified voice. So even if Her Majesty inspects the port, she will not get much positive feedback."

"And what's very obvious here is that everyone isn't coming for this port area, but for you. The various factions have almost merged into one. As long as you personally inspect the area, you can get the most comprehensive feedback."

The Prince of Wales drew a vertical line on his desk with his finger, indicating that the port area and the free port area were not actually related.
