The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"What a coincidence. I am a commander who is not qualified to command."

"You want to be my commander even though you don't have the qualifications to command?"

"Well, actually I am a top student at the Commander Academy of Donghuang—"

"Why would a top student from the academy sign a contract with a discarded ship girl like me?"

"..."

The man couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"So what do you want? In order to get you out, I risked going to jail and spent all my two months' wages. Don't you want to show some appreciation?"

"..."

He wasn't lying, the ship girl could sense emotions, at least, mutants like her could.

Well, what a strange man.

Spent all his savings on a mutant that was about to be discarded? For what?

Body? Her body was already in tatters.

Combat power? Her ship equipment had long been dismantled.

She is now just a scrap piece that is about to be scrapped, nothing.

So why?

Besides, why did he ask for his opinion.

He could have forced them to sign the contract.

She didn't know, so she asked directly.

"Why would you sign a soul contract with a useless person like me?"

"Why... there are many reasons, but in the final analysis, it's just that I want you to be my ship girl."

The man smiled, his emotions were very complicated, yet surprisingly simple.

Very contradictory.

"Ah, if you don't want to, an equal contract is fine. It's not binding, and you can leave at any time. But at least for the time being, can you be my ship girl?"

What a strange person.

KanColle is just a tool. Will anyone really ask for the tool's opinion?

And I mean it seriously, with no other meaning at all.

The girl was silent for a moment.

In just a few seconds, she made what might be the most important decision in her life.

"can."

She replied briefly.

An unprecedented strange feeling spread in my heart.

"Really? Great, then let's sign an equal contract right now!"

The man said with a sigh of relief.

Anyway, at last I agreed, and that's fine as long as I agree.

Alas, he really needs a ship girl to save his job now!

But just as the man was about to draw up an equal contract, the girl in front of him shook her head.

“It’s not an equal contract.”

"Ah? That's..."

"It's a soul contract."

That is the heaviest shackle on a ship girl.

She would never have dreamed that one day she would take the initiative to ask for this.

The man was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

"……All right."

Looking at the girl's calm eyes, the man nodded, took a deep breath, and soul fluctuations appeared around the two of them.

Use the spirit as the medium and the soul as the pen.

Contract construction.

"My soul contract is a little different. I deleted the "forced binding" and tried not to touch other soul circuits as much as possible."

After explaining briefly, the man's voice unconsciously became serious.

"The contract is complete. The contractor is Lin Shen."

"…Glasgow."

"Sign a soul contract here."

Glasgow wanted to continue speaking and read out the subsequent contents of the soul contract.

But it was ended by Lin Shen forcibly.

"The contract is concluded. Now you are my ship girl."

The light emitted by the soul circuit went out, and Lin Shen looked at Glasgow as if he had found a treasure.

"Isn't there something else behind the contract?"

"Ah, I deleted that." Lin Shen scratched his hair in annoyance. "The soul contract is the crystallization of human wisdom. It has been reinforced and encrypted countless times. I can only delete one sentence in it. If there are more, the circuit will be interrupted and the construction cannot be completed."

The deleted content is "I will never betray you in this life. If I do, my soul will be destroyed."

This sentence was spoken by the ship girl.

It is obviously extremely beneficial to human beings.

But he tried his best to delete it.

He is indeed a... strange guy.

"Nice to meet you, Commander... Please give me your guidance."

Glasgow read out some unfamiliar sentences.

This was the first time she met Lin Shen.

2. Lofty ideals require down-to-earth work

Two figures stopped in front of a simple house.

"We're home, let's go in."

Home?

Glasgow doesn't have that concept.

She basically spent her time in the laboratory before. If that can be considered home, then she should have a home.

But that doesn’t count.

"Although it's a little shabby, it doesn't matter, it will be improved soon."

Lin Shen said somewhat embarrassedly.

He was penniless, and he had used almost all the money he had saved from working to bribe the person in charge of the scrap factory.

There isn't much left now.

At most, it would be less than a thousand Singapore dollars...

"Will it really improve soon?" Glasgow looked at the embarrassed Lin Shen, not knowing how to comment on this strange behavior. Anyone with a normal mind would not throw money into a scrapyard without reservation.

Although bribery is effective, it is also probabilistic. What if the money is given but the person is not released?

These are all difficult things to say.

"Of course, and we will be leaving Hanning soon, and we won't be staying here for long." Lin Shen replied confidently: "I still have more than 800 yuan left, which is enough for travel expenses. The rest, only the college needs to collect the balance. After all, a B-level student who suddenly drops out of school always needs a legitimate reason."

"A valid reason?"

"Yes, it definitely can't be for such an outrageous reason as secretly signing a contract with a 'mutant'. At least it has to be a reason that looks better on the surface. Don't worry, I have made a decision, and this matter will not be exposed openly."

Lin Shen spoke to Glasgow in a gentle tone.

If the identity of the mutant is blatantly reported, then the days ahead will be difficult.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Shen decided to have a beautiful ending.

"I still can't understand why you, Commander, must go to this extent."

You can obviously gain both fame and fortune.

"There's no reason, I just simply can't stand it."

Lin Shen actually cursed many things in his heart, and more than once. Since this is a world of KanColle, why not just let me live my daily life honestly and then pick up a few wives to take home? Why must it be this style of a post-apocalyptic wasteland?

Can't figure it out.

"I don't think the existence of 'mutants' is wrong. On the contrary, those copies that were created by clumsy means are wrong."

"Commander, your point of view is very similar to those of the mutants." Glasgow whispered, "You should have heard of those mutants who have completely 'corrupted', right?"

Lin Shen's expression became a little subtle.

The reason why the handling of mutants is becoming stricter every year is mainly because the actions of some mutants are a bit excessive.

It even directed its attack against the human camp, leading to direct hostility.

Although in Lin Shen's opinion, this is all human's own fault.

But he couldn't say such words now. At least, he couldn't say such words as long as he stood on this land.

"Of course I've heard of them, as well as those several deviant mutant organizations."

"Since you have heard of this, Commander, you should understand... the hidden dangers in your actions."

"..."

Lin Shen understood very well.

If those organizations go too far, the official handling will be more severe.

Then, all those who have anything to do with the mutants will be liquidated together.

Now there are only a few signs.

But Glasgow was still keenly aware of this.

"Glasgow, you are a little too sensitive..."

"I just don't want to see the Commander being accused of being a traitor in the future because of these things." Glasgow lowered his eyes and said, "The Commander should be a hero in the comics, but your current behavior is tantamount to helping the Demon King defeat the Hero."

"The premise is that the Demon King is wrong." Lin Shen reached out and rubbed Glasgow's head hard. His hair didn't feel very good because he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

The petite body under his palm was swaying, as if it was not one of those war weapons that could smash reinforced concrete with one hand, but just an ordinary girl.

"Okay, don't think too much. I have already considered everything you have thought of. Don't worry. Your commander is very reliable."

Lin Shen reached out and patted his chest, with a smile on his face that was very contagious and confident.

It seemed as if any problem in front of him could be easily solved.

This was something Glasgow had never seen from anyone else.

Lin Shen turned around and went to the bathroom to boil water, saying this without even turning his head.

"With my current belongings, I definitely can't give you a repair solution. I can only give you a simple cleanup first. As for clothes, I'll take you out to buy them later."

"……it is good."

Glasgow whispered back.
