As a commander, I will never meet a heavy female ship girl

He turned around and looked at Chunyun.

I don't know what the little fox is thinking.

But, Lorraine decided to hold her hand.

"I'm here."

So he said.

"A flower that longs to bloom will surely wait for the day when it will be bathed in sunlight."

Under Chunyun's somewhat disbelieving gaze.

Lorraine's grip tightened.

At this moment, the dark clouds have completely dissipated.

The morning sun is smiling gently.

Lighting up the remaining cherry blossoms on the island.

It also lights up the clouds in the sky.

Chapter 312 Intermission

The Republic is slowly waking up.

"Are you okay, Republic?" Lorraine squatted in front of her and asked anxiously.

"Sir, I'm..." Republic staggered to her feet, and Lorraine quickly supported her.

She looked around and first saw that she was on an island. Then she saw the embarrassed Chunyun in the distance. For a moment, she was a little confused about the current situation.

But her subconscious reaction was always faster than Lorraine could speak, "I'm sorry, sir, I... have failed in my duty again."

Why are they all like this... Lorraine had a headache.

"It's okay. After we fell into the water, we were swept by the undercurrent and crashed into the wall. If it weren't for your protection, I would have died there."

The Republic bit his lower lip stubbornly. "No, this could have been avoided. If, if I hadn't forgotten the fact that the fortress would change, then..."

Lorraine held Republic down. "Alright, alright. This is my fault, too. As the commander, I forgot about these important safety risks that could threaten the entire fleet."

"But I'm the commander's secretary ship!"

Lorraine smiled helplessly and gave Gongguo a hug. "It's okay, I'm fine... Everyone makes mistakes, but in the end, you and I both came out unscathed. That's enough."

"After the mission is over, I will submit a detailed combat report and reflections on the mission." Republic said immediately.

"Okay, I'll write with you." Lorraine smiled and let go of the Republic, and squeezed the eldest lady's hand.

The latter blushed slightly and then tidied up her slightly wet hair to make herself look less embarrassed.

I will meet the Son of God soon, so I can't be negligent.

--------

In fact, the fight with the white dragon didn't take much time.

But in just thirty minutes, the patience of Burgundy and Venice was almost exhausted.

It's rare to meet an opponent who can fight with you, so Richtofen must of course give him the greatest respect... before his good teammate opens fire without saying a word.

So she took the initiative to charge forward, preserving the last bit of fairness in this duel between aircraft carriers—

At least it is better than attacking teammates, which will humiliate the fairness and honor of the duel and damage the reputation of oneself and teammates.

She was fully convinced that if she dragged on for half an hour without resolving the battle, then Burgundy's 12 380mm shells would directly knock Bailong unconscious. If the battle was not resolved, then the whistling flag guns would reach the opponent in the next second.

Burgundy is indeed a knight of the Holy See, but before this identity, she is first and foremost a ship girl, a wife, the most determined and indifferent apostle of apocalypse under the Lord's command, an oracle of war, an iris, the most complex and two-faced, Baroness Burgundy.

As for Venice, the poet might be happy to see scenes like the duel between heroes in the opera, but she might not be able to maintain such patience when the commander is reconnected - her patience is based on the premise that "the commander is within her sight."

The Red Baron's judgment was correct. When she knocked down the White Dragon in two or three rounds, Burgundy released the flagpole she was slowly raising.

"I'm sorry for being so hasty, but I'm in a hurry. Let's spar again when we have another chance."

Before Bai Long could speak, Richtofen took the initiative to speak, and then pulled her up while Bai Long looked unacceptable.

"Battles between aircraft carriers rely on nothing but air combat!"

Bai Long felt a little aggrieved. She admitted that she was careless in the initial air battle, but the situation gradually returned to equilibrium. If it weren't for Richtofen's sudden close combat attack, she felt that she could definitely win.

As for close combat, that was a ceremonial act, a social interaction where people made friends through fighting. In actual combat, it was completely meaningless and thankless...at least that's what she thought.

However, after seeing the three people in front of him were keen on close combat, Bai Long was indeed a little scared.

She had never seen such efficient killing.

The woman holding the flagpole could tear through thick armor with every shot. Her incomprehensible speed made it impossible for her to be instantly targeted. Then, with the name of her main gun, flowers of death bloomed. She treated both humanoid sirens and ordinary warships equally.

The woman playing with the two swords was in the form of a human siren. The two silver lights she wielded looked like a dance, graceful and deadly.

As for the aircraft carrier in front of us, it shouldn't even be called an aircraft carrier...

Burgundy's patience finally reached its limit, "Get out of the way."

She used a commanding tone.

Bai Long suppressed his dissatisfaction and turned around.

"Come with me, a little fellow has already completed the imperial trial."

Burgundy nodded slightly, and everyone had already guessed who it was.

"You are worthy of being our little fox." Venice waited for Richthofen to catch up with Burgundy before she set off.

Richthofen rarely responded to her words, "Harukumo has always been a very good little guy, just like us."

"Same as us?" Venice raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, she's hiding something and she's being stubborn and doesn't want to tell you." Richthofen shrugged. She could clearly see that Venice was pretending not to understand.

But she felt that Venice was deliberately pretending not to understand.

"That's enough. Pay attention to the occasion."

The baroness interrupted their conversation with a calm voice.

The Shinto path is already visible to the naked eye, and the ship girls on both sides are lined up neatly, looking solemn and dignified... if you ignore their curious gazes.

Although Burgundy really wanted to fly across this sacred road at an ultra-high speed of 45 knots and hug the person standing under the torii.

But unfortunately he can't, after all, he has to maintain his image.

Burgundy had to divert some attention and force himself to follow Bailong patiently.

Richthofen retrieved all his fighter planes, jumped from the top of Albatross, and walked across the sacred path.

As for Venice, she walked on it with a victorious attitude.

Lorraine watched his three girls approaching from afar, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no particularly obvious wounds on their bodies.

Chapter 313 Ceremony

The hospitality provided by the Sakura Empire ship girls can indeed be said to be ten or even nine times better than that provided by the Sakura Empire people.

According to Miss Fuso, this is a reward given to the warrior who comes first in the Ryugu Festival.

There is still some time before the final award ceremony begins because we have to wait for all the contestants who have not been eliminated to arrive.

And the girls really need a break.

Seeing Burgundy and his men walking out of the repair cabin and regaining their original state, Luo, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the Arctic Tern team was led by Yamashiro into the building complex on the central island.

Apart from anything else, this accommodation is much better than the temporary accommodation arranged by some people...

"Please select one person and prepare for the award ceremony in a few days."

Before leaving, Shancheng instructed.

"Huh? Only one?" Venice curled her lips. "I thought everyone had one."

"I'm sorry, but with our current conditions, we can only make one piece of special weaponry this powerful."

Yamashiro quickly explained.

"It's okay." Luo interrupted Venetian, who was about to continue. "Actually, it was originally intended to have some friendly exchanges with my colleagues in the Sakura Empire."

This was a lie, not a friendly exchange. Burgundy sneered inwardly.

What Venice said is correct, but this is not Donghuang after all, and it is already very good that the Sakura Empire allows outsiders like them to participate.

"I'm really sorry." Shancheng bowed slightly again.

Lorraine was frightened and quickly stopped him, "Miss Shancheng, you don't have to do this."

Luo was about to lose her temper. The personal maid of the Son of God was saying sorry to her, a young commander who had just graduated and didn't even have a permanent post.

It's neither in line with etiquette nor logic!

"Well, thank you for your understanding." Shancheng then put away his apologetic expression.

Although Lorraine could still see the other party's embarrassment.

"Then please rest well, Mr. Luo, and wait a while. The ceremony in a few days will not be easy."

Mountain City Road.

"thanks for reminding."

Lorraine finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Shancheng nodding, bowing slightly, and then leaving.

"What a simple little fellow," Burgundy remarked.

"The Son of God's servant doesn't need to know so much. Jiang Feng can take care of those strange things." Richtofen shrugged.

It took Lorraine some time to sort out his thoughts. If he didn't know Yamashiro's character, he would really think that the Sakura Empire was plotting something bad against him.

He took two deep breaths and then spoke.

"Okay girls, the question is, who's going to that ceremony."

The question brought everyone back to reality.

"Good question, I'm not going." Venice was the first to express her desire to slack off. "Yamashiro said that's quite troublesome, I want to lie down."

The Republic also shook its head to express its refusal.

As for Burgundy… she said quite bluntly, “I have to stay with the Commander.”

"I won't go either. Haruyuki deserves most of the credit this time." Richthofen also declined. "Besides, I'm not worthy of wearing the Iron Cross yet."

So everyone looked at Chunyun, waiting for her to say.

Finally, Chunyun looked at Luo Lin.

His eyes were full of: "I can't go. Even if you say so, I am making up for my mistakes and I am not worthy of it."

"If no one wants to go, then the boss will decide." Republic spoke in time and threw the conversation to Mr. Luo.

Then everyone looked at Lorraine again.

"Then let Harugumo go. Single-handedly, he was the first to reach the central island, slay the top-tier destroyer Beifeng, and defeat Shimakaze, who was wielding the divine thunder. Great achievement."

Lorraine decided so.

The little fox's first reaction was to shake her head, but with the encouragement from Lorraine's eyes, she stopped herself from reacting like that.

After a moment's silence, Chunyun bit his lip and nodded slightly, "If the master wishes."

"Hmm." Today was just a break before the final act of everything, and Lorraine didn't say anything encouraging.

There are still a few days before the ceremony begins, so it’s not too late to talk about it before departure.

"Then, the last question is how to divide the rooms."

Lorraine looked around.

"Me, me, me, me! I want to lie in the commander's arms... I mean I want to lie next to the commander!" Venice is such a troublemaker.

In Burgundy's death stare, Richthofen patted Venice on the shoulder with a gloating look.

The meaning is self-evident.

In the end, it was the two girls from Iris who successfully won over Mr. Luo, who had never said a word in this regard.
