The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"Soul contract?"

"Equal contract."

"Oh...then let's change it to a soul contract."

"Well... not why? I just told you that soul contracts are different."

Lin Shen felt a bit overwhelmed. He emphasized this out of a sense of responsibility.

But Rafi didn't seem to care at all.

"It's okay. I don't care about the branding or anything."

"But I care!"

"It's all right if the shipgirl doesn't care."

"..."

What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless. If I continue to refute you, it would seem pretentious.

"Ha, okay... If you come back and blame me later, don't say I didn't remind you. The brand cannot be removed unless the commander dies, in which case the soul will also vanish into thin air."

"..."

Lafite didn't say anything, but Glasgow next to him felt that Lin Shen's emotional intelligence seemed to have dropped inexplicably.

The meaning is so obvious, why can't I see it?

Or has he always been like this, and I just misunderstood something?

Lin Shen waved his hand and changed the contract into a soul contract.

"Although you can leave my soul contract at any time, you are my ship girl after my mark is added. As long as you call me commander, you will always be my ship girl."

"Contractor, Lin Shen!"

"…Rafi."

"Here, sign the soul contract!"

In almost an instant, the contract was completed, and a mark appeared in Rafi's body.

If other commanders used the soul network to scan, they would find the unusually clear and inexplicably powerful mark.

"This is considered complete. Do you feel any changes?"

"…My perception has become stronger… a lot."

"That is also the effect of the soul contract. It can enhance the ability of the ship girl and make her more powerful." Lin Shen said: "You must have consumed a lot of energy in the battle tonight. Take a rest first. As for the injuries on your body, I will think of a way..."

"commander."

"Ok?"

Lin Shen looked at Glasgow curiously and found that the latter had a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"I found a problem."

"what?"

His expression is so serious, could it be bad news?

Lin Shen couldn't help but become serious.

Glasgow said slowly: "Commander, where are you...going to sleep tonight?"

"……what?"

18. A successful man surrounded by women

People are mortal.

Even if you are still alive and well, at a very important moment, you realize that you are dead.

Even if you are still full of life, from that special moment on, you know that you are no longer the same as before.

For Rafi, she no longer believes that she can compete with the combat system built by the commander and the ship girls with her own strength.

There is an objective gap.

She tried, and failed.

If Lin Shen hadn't suddenly intervened, he wouldn't even be able to die on the battlefield.

You will be captured and sent back to that cold place again, and you will face the worst outcome.

That was the outcome of her choice.

not good at all.

So the newborn Lafite also died at that time.

KanColle are not born with knowledge, many things have to be learned little by little through subsequent study.

In fact, no matter how many identical ship girls there are, their acquired experiences will turn them into completely different people.

The shipgirl will change.

And another cruel way of saying change.

Is to kill yourself.

So Rafi killed his previous naive self.

Then he accepted his "punishment" as a loser.

——Don’t be naive.

There are three reasons why she became Lin Shen’s ship girl.

——Don’t forget failure.

Because if you forget, you will definitely fall again in the same place in the future.

As a ship girl, Laffey will not allow herself to fail a second time.

So she needs to change.

When I become someone who satisfies myself in the future, I will probably leave Lin Shen.

When she becomes strong enough...

but.

Will such a day really come?

I felt as if the upper limit of my power had been wiped out at that moment.

Lafite huddled in the corner of the not-so-spacious bed like a salted fish.

Looking at the commander who was arguing with his own ship girl on the other side.

"I've already told you, this bed is too small. Three people really can't squeeze in!"

"Then it's okay for me to sleep on the sofa."

"How can that broken sofa be used as a place to sleep!"

"Really? Commander, you knew that too. Why did you make that suggestion just now?"

"But no matter how you think about it, sleeping with two beautiful girls is weird, right?"

"If the commander can't suppress his physiological needs, that's fine."

"Don't be casual!"

Lin Shen's face was filled with black lines. Glasgow's words "OK" were definitely not said because his favorability was maxed out.

But I really feel that it doesn’t matter.

She did not develop the awareness of "I am precious" in her own experience.

This is a mental defect.

It is also a form of self-protection.

I will definitely have to find a chance to correct this incomplete state in the future, but not now.

"Ha...if Rafi doesn't mind."

In the end, Lin Shen compromised.

"Rafi doesn't mind." Rafi said in a low voice.

Lin Shen almost forgot that Laffey was a newborn ship girl who didn’t even know the meaning of the brand.

And just like that, I took away Lafite's first time.

Thinking about it this way, I inexplicably felt a little more guilty.

"I am such a beast... Never mind, let's go to bed first, it's already late."

Lin Shen yawned tiredly, then turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.

He showered very quickly and was done in about ten minutes.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Shen was steaming and his skin was red.

Glasgow was already waiting outside with his pajamas.

After Lin Shen came out, I helped him put it on.

The rented house is not big and the bedroom is pitifully small.

When he rented it, Lin Shen didn't expect that he would be able to sign a KanColle.

Secondly, my wallet is limited.

After returning to the bedroom, another very embarrassing problem arose.

There don't seem to be many quilts.

Even if I took out the spare ones, there were only two.

"Glasgow, you two just have to put up with it for a while."

Lin Shen completed the assignment without a second thought, then wrapped himself in the quilt and lay down on the bed.

Hmm... Although Lafite has given up his seat, I can still smell a special fragrance and some gunpowder smoke that has not yet dissipated.

Although the combination of the two is a bit strange, it's still pretty good.

Lin Shen closed his eyes and huddled in the quilt. He muttered, "You two...if I don't sleep well, don't be polite, just wake me up. Ha - sorry, I'm going to sleep first."

Too sleepy.

In order to find an almost non-existent escape route from the dense encirclement, Lin Shen's soul power was slightly over-consumed.

Looking at Lin Shen who fell asleep in just a few seconds, Glasgow said softly to Lafei: "I just cleaned you up briefly just now. The bathroom is now empty. Go take a shower first."

“…Okay.” Rafi didn’t refuse, and taking a hot bath was very comfortable.

Because of the signing of the soul contract, Glasgow's attitude towards Lafite has become much more relaxed, although he is still wary.

When in the state of a soul contract, the ship girl cannot actively attack the commander, and will be controlled by the contract organization when taking relevant actions.

But it’s different for Lin Shen.

Lin Shen changed the contract, and this binding force became useless.

Without "absolute loyalty", hidden dangers will be laid; without "forced binding", it will give the ship girl an opportunity to take advantage.

If she wanted to do something, she could just terminate the contract first and then do it.

Although it sounds outrageous, it is indeed a hidden danger. These two things are double-edged swords.

If added to the contract, it will be a single-edged sword that will only target the ship girl, but if it is cancelled, it will become a double-edged sword again.

Sooner or later you will hurt yourself.

Glasgow looked at Lin Shen, who was completely unprepared, and sighed imperceptibly.

It's great to have a commander who cares about the ship girls, but it's too good.
