The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Lots of oil.

A few mind cubes.

And some equipment.

These equipments do not seem to be made by Siren for herself.

It seems that they are just imitating human technology.

I don’t know how the research is progressing.

In short, the above is all the gains of this trip.

All of them combined are not as good as one Tirpitz.

"Okay, there shouldn't be any extra treasures in here, let's go home."

After scanning the underground with the soul network again to make sure nothing was missed, Lin Shen led the fleet away.

……

Because there was one more person joining the fleet, Lin Shen held another small party in the evening to celebrate the addition of the new member.

It was half a welcome party.

"Is it necessary to be so grand..."

Seeing so many people staring at her, the cold and aloof Queen of the North was a little overwhelmed.

Lin Shen even prepared two firework tubes.

The whole thing is quite presentable.

"It's not grand or solemn, it's just a formality."

Lin Shen started clapping as he spoke.

"Let's welcome the newcomers - pa pa pa pa."

"oh oh--"

Although the atmosphere still seems a bit cold.

But no problem.

The sound of applause will cover up all the coldness.

Make the scene look lively.

"Okay, let's get started."

Glancing at everyone whose eyes were fixed on the dishes, Lin Shen signaled that they could start feasting.

Delicious food can always bring spiritual comfort to people who have worked hard all day.

Lin Shen looked at the relaxed expressions on the faces of the ship girls and felt that the meal was well worth it.

However, everyone else was eating and chatting, and they were all very relaxed.

But Tirpitz didn't seem to let go.

"What's wrong? Is it because the food doesn't suit your taste? How about making something with the flavor of Iron Blood? But this is Sakura Empire after all, so it's probably going to be difficult to make Iron Blood dishes."

"No, it's not..."

Tirpitz shook his head.

"That's why, you look so unhappy."

“…This atmosphere may not be suitable for me.”

After every jubilation, it always becomes very quiet.

Just like when you are surrounded by a crowd, when they leave, only one person will be left feeling sad.

The liveliness is just a false illusion.

Only loneliness and coldness remain forever.

Tirpitz wanted to say this to Lin Shen.

However, Lin Shen seemed to know what she wanted to say.

"I understand."

Lin Shen hammered his palm and said.

"Yes."

Tirpitz nodded and spoke.

"False excitement will only make people weak, only..."

"It must be because you are dressed too seriously."

"?"

"When you go to the battlefield, you should be more serious. A military uniform is just right. But people don't always stay on the battlefield. So I think you should have a few sets of private clothes."

"No, I..."

Tirpitz didn't think he needed any private servers.

The body that was materialized at birth was the embodiment of her will.

So keep going too——

"You don't think the ship girl needs new clothes, do you?"

Just when Tirpitz was about to say something, Lin Shen suddenly spoke up and stopped her from speaking.

"..."

"Even a ship girl needs to take a bath to relax and change into new clothes to adjust her mood. I still have some time tonight and I have some spare money in my wallet, so I'll buy you a few sets of clothes. You're welcome, no need to thank me, this is a benefit for newcomers to the fleet. Glasgow, you pick out a few sets for Tirpitz later. Oh, and you guys can also add a few more sets. It's no problem even if you change a set every day."

"If you have too many personal belongings, they will take up too much space on the ship, Commander."

Glasgow did not follow Lin Shen's lavish behavior.

"Some things are enough in moderation. Your funds are not unlimited. The mission has not been completed and the reward has not been paid. You should be a little more careful."

"Say, that's right..."

Lin Shen calmed down a little.

He cleared his throat and spoke to the speechless Tirpitz.

"Anyway, please don't be polite about your life. These are what you deserve. Fight when you need to fight, relax when you need to relax, and enjoy when you need to enjoy. The best warriors deserve the best life. What do you think?"

"..."

Tirpitz thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Shen said.

However, the information collected from those memories shows.

Many of his behaviors seem quite abnormal.

"You must be in a pretty bad situation right now."

Skipping over the psychological content, Tirpitz spoke without any beginning or end.

"I guess so, but it doesn't matter. I still have good expectations for the future."

Lin Shen didn't dwell on why Tirpitz suddenly said that, and just gave a casual response.

He does have high expectations for the future.

However, it is hard to say whether it is a good expectation or a bad expectation.

“Very optimistic.”

"Yeah, optimism is my strength."

Glasgow sat next to him and glanced at Lin Shen without saying anything.

73. His interest is in Europeans

Dinner ended successfully.

Lin Shen brought the ship girls back from the bustling neighborhood to a less bustling place.

The place where they live is a little distance from the dining place.

Although he wanted to fulfill his promise and let Glasgow take Tirpitz directly to buy some nice clothes.

But it would be better to go to the restoration room and take a bath first.

They all had some injuries on their bodies.

It's just right to take a bath after dinner, and then go shopping after bathing.

Then you can go home.

The itinerary was packed.

However, when Lin Shen walked to the door of the restoration room, he remembered something.

"Tirpitz, there is something I need to explain..."

He remembered the strange mechanism of the prosthetic room that caused phantom limb pain.

So I explained it to Tirpitz first.

But no matter what, you can't - right?

"If you mind, I'll take you home first. It'll be just as comfortable to take a bath at home."

After explaining, Lin Shen said.

"...No need."

Tirpitz rejected this seemingly good proposal.

It was just a simple bath of honesty.

Anyway, Lin Shen doesn’t want to take a bath.

He just acts as a key card...

Moreover, there are so many ship girls here.

Lin Shen will probably be very honest——

Tirpitz thought so.

Also, stay at home and take a bath or something.

Just thinking about it is a bit too tragic.

Originally, Tirpitz didn't mind this kind of thing.

Anyway, loneliness has always been with her.

but……

I always feel weird.

If you have a choice, why embrace loneliness?

Habits are habits, and liking is liking; these are two different things.

Some people are forced to be alone simply because they have to.

No choice.

Given a choice, Tirpitz would naturally not prefer to be alone.

There's no need for that.

"That's right. Taking a bath alone at home always feels a bit exclusive. It's not conducive to unity no matter how you look at it. Don't worry, I guarantee with my character that I will never peek. The ship girl can testify to this. So just go take a bath and rest assured. Tirpitz, if you find me peeking, you can just poke my eyes."

"..."

Listening to Lin Shen's long list of assurances in accordance with his own wishes, Tirpitz inexplicably felt pretty good.

After all, it is indeed a pleasant experience to have someone take care of your thoughts and mood.
