The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"They have so little motivation to act?"

"Yes."

If Lin Shen had not had his back to Glasgow and the others, he would have definitely given them an admiring look.

"Their motives always give me a feeling that something is missing. There must be some reason that we don't know yet, and Golden Saint Wings hasn't said it."

"Golden Holy Wings issued a mission but didn't provide all the information related to the mission?"

"No, to be honest, I accepted this mission 'voluntarily'. If I go to the Golden Wings to get the information that is not specified in the mission, I will have to pay an extra price. I don't want to spend extra New Zealand dollars on this kind of thing, and there is no rush anyway."

"That mission seems to have a time limit."

"It's just a false time limit. Even if the Nogami family is desperate and wants to trap us, it doesn't matter. Before I woke up, their actions would indeed pose a great threat to you, but now, the threat is zero. They only have half the initiative in their hands."

Glasgow was silent for a while, and then he said with a smile and emotion: "As expected of you, Commander. Your mere existence is the biggest variable."

"The commander is very strong." Ayanami said with a hint of admiration in her tone.

"Indeed, it's as if he can do anything..." McCall also muttered.

"..."

Lin Shen was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"It's not that exaggerated actually. Although we can't defeat the defense force of the Central Weaving District, we can still get you guys away safely."

"This is already exaggerated, okay?"

McCall couldn't help but complain again.

She had not known the strength of the so-called regular troops before.

Now after a few contacts, she knows.

That's not something that can be easily countered.

Just dealing with multiple enemies is already very troublesome.

If the number of enemies increases several times.

It is enough to be called a dragnet.

There was no chance of escape at all.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lin Shen raised his hand and waved.

An attitude of "I am invincible, you can just lie down and do whatever you want."

"It's not like 'It's OK--'."

McCall whispered.

The ahoge on top of his head swayed back and forth as if expressing dissatisfaction.

"commander."

Glasgow's tone suddenly became serious.

"what happened?"

"Don't use soul power of that magnitude casually again."

"..."

Lin Shen paused, then replied helplessly,

"Some power should be used when it is necessary. Otherwise, what difference does it make whether you have it or not?"

Strength should play its due role at the right time.

Instead of hiding it all the time.

He is not the protagonist in some fantasy novel who likes to play the pig and eat the tiger.

Who likes to pretend to be a grandson when they have nothing to do?

The main thing is.

There will be a price.

There is no such thing as "forbearance" without a price.

Lin Shen doesn’t think of himself as the leading actor—even though he is indeed a time traveler.

It looked like a template for the protagonist, and he hoped so.

But in the end, pessimism prevailed.

What he had to do did not allow him to harbor such empty thoughts.

If you act recklessly just because you believe you have the "halo of the protagonist".

Lin Shen was afraid that he would not even have the right to cry if he had an accident.

"If that's the case, then I have something to say."

Glasgow cleared his throat and said.

"The purpose of a ship girl is to be used when she is needed, rather than relying on you to fight alone at the critical moment."

“I don’t fight alone…”

"But wasn't it you who paid the heaviest price in the end?"

"...Aren't you all injured to some degree? I'm not the only one paying the price."

Lin Shen spoke righteously and in a tone full of exaggeration.

"We can sit here and take a bath today, all thanks to you."

“That’s just because we’re paying the price of the overflow.”

Although Lin Shen said it very beautifully.

The other ship girls were also moved.

The favorability has gone up a few points.

But Glasgow still exposed the reality in a slightly cold tone.

"Commander. You can certainly provide support, but before that, we should play our due role. The ship girl is the commander's spear and shield. This is common sense taught in the academy, right?"

Now that things had come to this, Lin Shen had no choice but to continue.

"With your current strength, you are not yet capable of fully fulfilling the role of spear and shield."

"..."

Display always silences and crits.

indeed.

They are not strong enough.

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere seemed to become even heavier.

It was clearly a happy scene where we spent time together.

But as soon as we start discussing serious matters, things always become serious.

"So I'll give you some support first."

Lin Shen seemed unaware of the solemn atmosphere and lightly dismissed any self-doubt and guilt that might exist in their hearts.

"No ship girl is born knowing everything. You haven't experienced much since you were born. The reason why you are able to speak and behave properly is that you rely on your original memory. In my opinion, there is not much difference between you and a newborn baby. In terms of combat, there is still a lot to learn, which is normal. We still have time, and you will eventually grow up, and then it will be time for me to rely on you to support you. I can only provide you with protection for this period of time."

"I know, this is called the novice protection period."

It's clearly a thought-provoking atmosphere.

But Ayanami spoke as if she was unaware.

"...Yes, it is the novice protection period."

Lin Shen laughed.

"Once you are past the novice period, you will be capable fighters on your own. When the time comes, don't blame your commander for being useless and incompetent."

"Will not!"

Glasgow said firmly.

"Yeah, I think so too..."

Lin Shen responded as usual, but before he finished his words, he heard the sound of dripping water.

"Ok?"

McCall's panicked and incredulous voice rang out from behind.

"Glasgow, what are you doing!"

"What... Of course, I'm going to give the commander a back rub or something."

"Hmm... this is so bold..."

McCall's face turned red.

So is Cupid next to it.

Lafite next to him looked up but didn't react.

Ayanami said as if she remembered something.

"Oh, I know, this is for bathroom play."

"Ayanami, what on earth are in your original memories..."

McCall was too lazy to complain anymore.

She looked at Glasgow's naked back as he walked away, and inexplicably felt something was wrong.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong.

After thinking for a while, McCall gave up thinking.

Whatever...

As a complainer, making a few complaints is her limit.

"Glasgow, I don't need a back rub... Why did you come straight here! Didn't I ask you to fix it properly!?"

Lin Shen hurriedly moved away.

I don't know where to look.

He turned his back as far as he could.

If there is a reaction here, the Commander's career will probably be over...

Oh, it seems to be over.

In this way, the positive and negative will offset each other, and maybe a positive effect can be produced?

Lin Shen was thinking about a lot of messy things in his head.

And Glasgow has sat down.

"It's just a simple back rub, Commander~ This is also the duty of a maid."

"I have never heard of such a statement."

"Well, there are actually quite a few rules in the royal maid team."

Although no one cares now.

The emphasis is on “no one”.

Glasgow didn't do anything else strange, but actually started to rub Lin Shen's back.

After calming down a little, Lin Shen spoke with some depression.

"Glasgow...were you always like this?"

"Before? That depends on how long ago it was."
