The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

If it is a serious inquiry, then a serious response must be given.

To reveal what has been hidden.

"Rafi."

Lin took a deep breath, and the emotional fluctuations emanating from his body suddenly changed.

He seemed like a different person.

It is obviously the same appearance, but the mysterious feeling it gives to Lafite is completely different.

Rafi suddenly realized.

What does it mean that everyone has two sides?

The ship girls are very sensitive to these changes.

Rafi has seen "malice".

But what one feels from Lin Shen is not simply "malice".

But it has the same temperature as "malice".

Ice and cold.

It's like a dead object without any temperature.

Everyone has a hot beating heart.

So some people say that your sincerity must be full of warmth.

But for a certain type of person.

Their sincerity has no warmth.

Sincerity does not always have temperature.

The "fake" object can be any temperature.

But the "real" things cannot be controlled.

It is what it is.

Therefore, the impact brought by "truth" will be even greater and the destructive power will be particularly strong.

If the "true" heart you are trying to explore is completely different from what you hoped it would be.

How devastated would you be then?

It's like knowing that your boyfriend is actually a hypocrite.

It's like knowing that your girlfriend is actually a bitch behind your back.

If you want to explore the truth, you must have the corresponding awareness.

Lin Shen didn’t know whether Lafite had that awareness.

But since she had already asked, Lin Shen had no choice but to seriously take out his real things.

Every promise he made was not for nothing.

If you trace it back to the root cause, everything has a reason.

"Do you really want to know?"

“…I want to know.”

despite this.

For some people.

They would rather know the cruel truth than drown in the bubble of illusion.

KanColle are very simple creatures.

It is also a very "real" creature.

Their nature determines that they will move in that direction no matter what.

What is real must come near what is real.

Even if this would result in both parties being injured and bleeding.

Eventually they will come together.

……

……

The only thing that can be exchanged with sincerity is another sincerity.

129. Are you willing to die for me?

Lin Shen’s sincerity is very simple.

The closer something is to reality, the simpler it is.

So simple that it can be described in one sentence.

Lin Shen stared into Lafite's red eyes and asked a question seriously.

"Rafi, are you willing to die for me?"

"..."

The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

"That's why I'm 'favoring' it."

After saying this, Lin Shen relaxed.

Rafi seemed to understand something.

But he didn't seem to understand.

After knowing the answer to a question, new doubts arise.

"So, you don't like them, but you only allow them to get close to you for this reason?"

"Yes."

"..."

"Do you feel it's very despicable?"

Lin Shen asked, leaning on the pillow.

"..."

Rafi didn't respond.

She felt as if she had never known the person in front of her.

The guy who can bring a sense of security and reliability.

There was a rift between me and the person in front of me.

Aren't feelings mutual?

No.

When you have a very strong feeling for someone and take the time to confirm it, that is the emotion called "like".

You will face two outcomes.

First, if the person you like also likes you, then everyone is happy.

Second, the person you like doesn’t like you.

He may not feel the same way about you.

Accepting your approach is just for other reasons.

This strong sense of gap caused Lafite's emotions to fluctuate drastically in an instant.

Lin Shen looked at her quietly without explaining anything.

But soon, Lafite adjusted his mood.

Lin Shen looked at the panel.

Her favorability dropped from 93 points to around 70.

Plummet.

But it was also expected.

This panel does reflect part of the real situation.

It has a relatively real reference effect.

After calming down for a while, Rafi asked.

"So you deceived them?"

"No."

"..."

After Lafite thought for a while, Lin Shen continued.

"That's why I 'favor' them. This favor has little to do with me, it's just what they deserve."

"Do both of them...know?"

"Glasgow knows. As for Hatsushimo, even if I asked her the question just now, she wouldn't hesitate at all."

"..."

Completely incomprehensible.

I finally figured out what love is.

As a result, I was taught a lesson when I was checking the answers.

Rafi's mood became particularly complicated at this time.

"They clearly trust you so much, but you want them to die?"

"No, this is not the same concept, Rafi. If possible, I would rather both of them stay safe and sound in this life. What's important is not the result, but... that emotion, that attitude, that position, that choice to stand by me without hesitation."

Lin Shen paused, feeling that if he continued to explain, things would become more complicated.

Because there are still many things Rafi doesn't know.

Do not understand.

So she was stuck in the middle.

The most troublesome state of a person is that he is neither smart enough nor simple enough...

Maybe it's just because I haven't kept up with the experience that I've fallen into this state of imprisonment.

"Having said that, that question just now was no joke."

Lin Shen sat up slightly and spoke seriously again.

"Lafite, in two days, I might have to go to a very dangerous place. You can see that I am making some kind of bet with that bastard Akamori Yuaki. If nothing unexpected happens, our next destination in two days will be Sakura Castle District 4. It is the only real front line at the moment and it is very dangerous, several times more dangerous than the wilderness in the Central Weaving District."

"For you, the difficulty of your battle will also increase rapidly. There are too many unpredictable factors on the front line, and even I cannot guarantee your absolute safety. When you are operating there, you must always be prepared for accidents and the possibility of death. Since you asked me today, I will be frank with you. I told you before that if one day you feel that you can no longer stay by my side and want to leave, you can leave at any time. I am not joking."

"I will never force any ship girl to stay with me and die with me - whether it is you or anyone else, everyone has the right to leave on their own and find a better way out. Whether you think this is a deception or a superficial excuse, it is true. You can try it at any time."

After saying so much, Lin Shen felt a little tired.

He lay back down and stayed quiet for a while.

There was suddenly no sound in the room.

Both of them were silent.

Thinking about their own problems.

After a long while, Lin Shen spoke again in a slightly tired voice.

"Do you remember what I told you? You can stay with me temporarily and seek some shelter. When the time is right, you can leave and find your own way. I am not a person you can trust and rely on, Rafi. I just feel like the god of death, always dealing with death. If you often walk by the river, there will always be a day when your shoes get wet. Today, the one who died is the enemy, but who knows if the one who died tomorrow will be one of our own?"
