The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

“Can you tell me about what you did today?”

"Why do you suddenly want to hear about this?"

"Because..." Rafi paused, not knowing what reason she should give, but her intuition told her to know. After searching for a long time, Rafi could only give a universal answer: "Because I am the commander's ship girl."

"..." Lin Shen looked at Lafite's face, which was so soft and elastic, and so rosy that he could not help but want to take a bite. However, Lin Shen resisted the urge to poke Lafite's face, which was very cute but had a serious look that was not there at ordinary times. "That is not a warm thing, and it may be very offensive. Do you want to listen to it even so?"

"Ah."

"That's not a fairy tale, it's reality. What is reality... Rafi, you should have experienced it once."

"…Is it malicious?"

"That's right. There are so many evil intentions wrapped together, including the ones I have for others. Is it okay even so?"

“…It doesn’t matter.”

To others?

Rafi doesn't care about what's right or wrong for others.

Not to her anyway.

Lin Shen is always so cautious towards her and feels full of security.

"I don't care about 'others'." Rafi said.

"...You are so willful." Lin Shen smiled helplessly, his fingers still poking Lafite's cheek.

It feels very soft to the touch, just as I imagined, and is as fragile as a blow.

KanColle are supposed to be the most beautiful elves in the world, but I don’t know why the setting in this world is so cruel.

Lin Shen put away his thoughts and said, "Since you want to hear it, Lafei, I'll tell you. It's just right. You need to know it anyway. Although you may not understand it now..."

Lin Shen began to slowly recount the results of his day's battle with Glasgow.

This kind of thing is definitely not suitable to listen to before going to bed.

Who would listen to heavy things like war, fighting, gangs, fights, and future plans before going to bed?

But Rafi actually listened to it.

"So, the commander wants a lot of money? Why a lot of money?"

"In order to buy a piece of land, you, Glasgow, and other mutant ship girls can live in peace and no longer have to wander around. To do this, I need a lot of money, enough to buy these."

An autonomous region under the aegis of

Lin Shen knew very well how difficult it was to get this thing.

And it's a mutant...

Anyone who heard this would say "it's a pipe dream".

But Lafite didn't say that. Although she didn't understand what he said, she still understood what Lin Shen didn't say directly.

"Is this difficult to do?"

“…It’s still a bit difficult.”

"So, Commander, do you need strength?"

"Strength? Of course she needs it. Although we already have Glasgow, the more combat power the better. It will be very difficult for her to rely on Glasgow alone."

"Then..." Rafi paused and said, "I can be the commander's strength."

"Lafite?"

"Although... I don't really like moving around... nor do I really like fighting... But if the commander needs strength... I will help."

Looking at Lafite who was trying hard to express his ideas, Lin Shen was stunned for a moment and then touched Lafite's head with a look of relief on his face.

Before, he was still worried that Rafi would not accept him, but now it seems that the possibility is not completely eliminated.

"Thank you, Rafi. I'm glad... that you can be my strength."

70. Expanding the Arms and Preparing for War

Although he said that, Lin Shen still had some reservations.

It’s not that I don’t believe in Lafite, it’s just that Lafite now probably doesn’t understand what his choice means.

She wasn't as sober as Glasgow.

Maybe when she really understands something, she will start to regret it.

Although now Lin Shen was still quite grateful for her kindness.

Let’s talk about the future later. How can we say for sure now? For Lin Shen, he can only take it one step at a time.

……

next morning.

Lin Shen's consciousness slowly returned to normal.

The lecture last night was very late, so he also went to bed very late.

But I didn't check the time, so I don't know what time it was.

After opening his eyes, Lin Shen still saw a snow-white ball, sleeping soundly on his body.

He was silent for a while, then carefully put Rafi down.

I always feel that Lafite is becoming more and more casual.

Before, it was just a hug, but now it can be considered as an entanglement.

Like a koala.

The chest that has begun to take shape is tight

Pressing on Lin Shen's chest,

The girl's whole body was always completely soft and she let go of Lin Shen when she woke up in the morning.

Fortunately, he was almost used to it, so he was not as panic-stricken as he was in the previous times.

But it’s not very psychologically friendly to see such a scene every morning when I wake up.

"I always feel that Lafite's dependence on me is increasing. Is it my illusion..."

Lin Shen thought silently in his heart.

After putting Lafite aside, he carefully covered it with a cup, covering up the large area of ​​white skin. Glasgow's pajamas were still a little too big, and the collar easily slipped off his shoulders.

After walking out of Rafi's room, Lin Shen ran into Glasgow, who was already dressed neatly.

"Commander, breakfast is ready."

Glasgow said as if he was not surprised.

"Well, thank you."

Lin Shen said this, then started to wash up and enjoy breakfast.

Not long after, Rafi was seen walking out of the room yawning.

"Rafi? Why are you up?" Glasgow asked in surprise.

Given Lafite's sleepy nature, he probably won't get up before ten o'clock.

"Well... we agreed last night that we would become the commander's strength... ha... I'm going with you today." Rafi said listlessly.

"Is that so..." Glasgow was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Shen.

While Lafite was washing up, Glasgow whispered, "I didn't expect the commander to get Lafite in just a few nights. She was obviously very resistant before."

"...Can you please stop talking as if I did something?" Lin Shen said helplessly. Although it seemed, probably, perhaps, as if, well...except for not doing what I shouldn't have done, everything else was almost the same.

After meeting Glasgow's speechless gaze, Lin Shen coughed lightly.

"In short, it would be best if Rafi is willing to act together. This way, I will have more options for my command position."

"...That's right. This way, I can leave someone behind to protect the commander while I take action."

This is the power of two people.

If there were more of them, there would be more things that could be done.

Lin Shen was thinking that one day he would be able to give an order and hundreds of ship girls would stand up in unison and point their guns at someone.

That would be considered reaching the pinnacle of life.

From now on, the whole world, even the Siren, will give way obediently—

Well… although large quantities of Sirens would still be a headache.

But as long as the training level is improved.

Everything is a minor issue.

While Lin Shen was thinking about all that, Glasgow made a breakfast for Lafite.

After both of them have finished eating, today's action can begin.

Just at this moment, a prompt sounded on Lin Shen's terminal.

"No, don't give me a mission at this time..."

Lin Shen took out the terminal with a look of pain on his face, and then opened the internal system of the command center.

The message prompt sound of each system is completely different.

Although Lin Shen has disabled some group chats, they will still ring when tasks come.

It's like a time bomb that can pop out and explode at any time.

With a look of reluctance, Lin Shen finished reading the lone task in the task bar.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm and not a big deal, so it could even be put off directly.

"You two wait in the dormitory for a while. I'm going to go out for a while. There's something going on in the command center."

"What's the matter?" Glasgow asked, "Don't you need me to follow you?"

"Don't worry, it's not a battle-related matter. It's just that the construction factory at the command center has started operation, and they asked me to go over and bring back a few ship girls..." Lin Shen replied.

Preparations are now being made for the coming war.

Therefore, the command bureau also began to invest a lot of resources into the construction.

Each commander will be matched with a full quota of ship girls for deployment according to their respective abilities.

This expense is estimated to be reimbursed by higher authorities.

With Lin Shen's B-level soul strength, he is able to sign at least 20 ship girls by himself.

Then you will slowly start to reach your limit.

A commander like this must not be allowed to be left empty here.

Very normal.

Although Lin Shen’s true limit is far more than that.

Before, when he was in the academy, Lin Shen made excuses to decline.

But now these excuses don't seem to work, and if you insist on saying them, it will seem strange.

After all, he already has a "copy" ship girl under his command.

Why not more?

They have all broken the precepts.

"A war of considerable size is about to begin here, and the army is being expanded madly now."

"...Will the commander sign those clones? It shouldn't have any impact, right?"

"It won't affect me, but I just feel a little bit uncomfortable. Okay, I'll go over and take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll just find an excuse to postpone it, even though it may seem strange."

After Lin Shen finished speaking, he turned around and left the dormitory.
