The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"Hinata used to be from Polar Night."

When discussing his reading experience with Lin Shen and seeking answers, Nagato mentioned it casually.

"Really? Then how much do you know about Polar Night? Do you know the scale of Polar Night?"

"Because it was a long time ago, the information we knew then is not useful now. However, there is a part that should not have changed much until now."

Nagato hesitated for a moment and said.

"For example, the Polar Night is divided into the main camps of Sakura Empire, White Eagle, and Royal Army. Another example is that the Polar Night seemed to be established for revenge from the beginning. However, for some reasons, many people chose to leave in the middle."

"Um……"

Lin Shen did not express any opinion, but just listened silently.

"For example, [Dark Night]."

"Um……?"

Lin Shen finally moved his eyes away from his tablet.

Looking at Nagato who was wearing slightly cooler clothes at home because the weather was getting warmer.

"Is the [Dark Night] led by the Royal Ark also a part of the [Polar Night]?"

"It is said that they separated from the Polar Night earlier because some people thought that revenge was impossible in this lifetime, so they simply left to find their own direction or the answers to their own problems."

"...It seems that those mutants that have lived for a long time are probably more or less related to [Midnight]."

Lin Shen withdrew his gaze and said casually.

"As far as I know, there are quite a few similar variants."

"If only we could find them."

Nagato said hopefully.

"This should help bring Polar Night back from his increasingly extreme behavior."

"It's a good idea, but the reality is very harsh. With the combat power, scale, and planning that Polar Night has shown so far, it's quite difficult to bring those scattered mutants together to stop them. In addition, they are mutants after all, and they won't stand on the side of reason."

"…There should be relatively rational ship girls."

The ears on Nagato's head drooped.

"But the number is relatively small, and there are limits on what can be done."

Lin Shen's pessimistic and realistic remarks kept Nagato quiet for a while.

She propped her chin up and looked at the sunlight outside the window, a little dazed.

After being stunned for a while, Nagato asked.

"If you are the commander, is there any way to stop [Midnight]?"

"..."

Lin Shen glanced at Nagato and shook his head.

"Yeah……"

"No, what I mean is that [Polar Night] does not need to be stopped."

"No need to stop—?"

"Yes. According to the current direction of [Polar Night], they can't hold on for much longer. They don't have enough stamina, and the threat they can pose to humans is relatively limited. After all, the difference in foundation is too great."

"So that's it..."

Lin Shen didn't say anything.

If we only talk about comprehensive strength.

Without taking himself into account as a variable, with his strength, he can't defeat [Polar Night] at all.

Not to mention [Midnight], none of the previous operations against the three major gangs were successful.

After all, Lin Shen is just one person, facing a guerrilla organization like [Polar Night] that has no base and roams around everywhere.

He really didn't have much to do with them.

Lin Shen is just strong, not omnipotent.

If he were really that omnipotent, he wouldn't still be worrying about how to build his own mutant fleet.

Nagato had no other questions and spent the entire afternoon with Lin Shen.

In the evening, Cupid prepared a table of dinner and showed off his cooking skills.

"It's amazing..."

Hatsushimo exclaimed sincerely.

"It will take a long time to prepare so many dishes, right?"

"It's okay. It only takes three to five hours to prepare."

Cupid replied modestly.

"..."

Although this answer sounds like a show of skill.

"Commander, please try it quickly. They are mostly dishes from Eastern Imperial Japan and Sakura Empire. However, many of the recipes have been lost in the old times, so they cannot be completely reproduced."

"It's okay. It's very good now."

The global wars of the old times completely buried many things.

In that catastrophe, it wasn't just the delicious food that was buried.

Various cultural classics and entertainment works were also almost destroyed.

What is produced now is something completely different.

The so-called "cuisine" was completely shattered at that time.

Today's delicacies all adhere to the characteristics of "simple, rough, efficient and high energy".

Taste is largely secondary.

Unless, you spend money.

Filling one’s stomach was not a problem before, but now it has become a common problem.

Only the ship girls don't eat and survive on oil.

The amount of food consumed in war was greatly reduced.

otherwise……

The situation will become even more distorted than it is now.

The closer the safe zone is to the center, the more valuable the land is.

The population is making strides forward in an era of ease.

But the food supply has not kept up and is always one step behind.

Recovering the territory is not simply for some lofty reasons like sentimentality.

A more realistic reason is that more space is needed for farming and food.

Technology has advanced a lot, but the demand for land has not decreased much.

Due to environmental problems, the population of Sakura Castle did not grow explosively.

However, the safe zones behind have shown a tendency to gradually expand outward and develop land in recent years.

If this so-called stable trend continues, sooner or later they will go to war again because of the demand for resources.

But there is an absolute premise that Siren always maintains the same status as map resources and never moves at all.

Lin Shen put the food into his mouth, praised Cupid a few words, and looked at the bright smile on the latter's face.

The thoughts in his mind flashed by and Lin Shen no longer had any more concerns.

"Commander, are you going to rest here at [Sakura] tonight?"

Cupid asked as if he remembered something.

"Well, let's take a rest for two days first. I won't run around for the time being."

Lin Shen nodded.

In the past few days, he personally met many important people.

For some important conversations, it’s better to go in person.

It is not appropriate to leave it to Glasgow and the others.

However, there are obviously not many conversations that require Lin Shen to personally go over and exert pressure.

It's all done.

"That's it..."

"Ah."

Lin Shen glanced at Cupid and found that the latter had a strange look in his eyes.

"what happened?"

He asked another question casually, and then focused his attention on the food again.

But it took a long time before Cupid's next words were heard.

"The commander really doesn't understand romance—"

Hatsushimo sighed in a drawn-out tone.

"What does this have to do with romance..."

Lin Shen replied subconsciously.

Then I realized something.

Oh ~

He immediately changed his explanation.

"I can't help it. There are just too many things going on lately. There's no room in my mind for anything else."

So I didn’t find time to spend with the ship girls.

In order to ensure that Lin Shen can get enough sleep at night, Chu Shuang has been well behaved for a long time.

About half a month.

Oh, it seems there’s more.

There is no way. The revolution has not yet succeeded and comrades still need to work hard.

Lin Shen didn't have the leisure to focus all his attention on the comfort of his body.

"Then - can we do it tonight~"

Hatsushimo's expression immediately turned frivolous.

She squinted her eyes and smiled, and at this moment she looked like a pink cat.

"Well-"

Lin Shen looked at Ayanami, Laffey, McCall, and even Nagato who all focused their attention on him at the same time.

"That's right..."

Lin Shen glanced back at Nagato.

The latter immediately looked away.

Hinata next to him frowned.

Lin Shen had never touched Nagato...

Although the latter's favorability bar is almost full.

But there is still something missing.
