Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

"It's not bad - after all, gentleness is a universal quality among Japanese male protagonists."

"I hope you're complimenting me."

"But how should I put it?"

Z23 thought for a moment and said, "It also saved many people."

"for example?"

"Beagle, Kasim, and Harutsuki."

"You really have an impression."

"Because I'm the commander's starting ship."

"Yeah, but I don't remember doing anything to save anyone."

"Commander, your memory is terrible. Do you remember the Beagle?"

"of course I remember."

Beagle may be a strange kid, but he's actually a good kid.

She has a pair of sharp eyes, which are always wide open and look very scary.

She is a very peculiar child. Her staring eyes always cause some misunderstandings.

When I first met Beagle, she was a subordinate of another commander. Every time he met her, he would scold her, saying "What do you mean by that look!" When he was in a bad mood, it became a common occurrence for Beagle to have swollen cheeks.

In the end, the guy even said that looking at those eyes made him angry, he didn't want to see her, and told her to stay in the room and not come out.

For a long time, Beagles were kept in a 'dirty' state of isolation.

Even so, she still had a smile on her face as usual, and even the commander didn't understand what she was thinking.

The commander finally snatched the beagle from the guy.

She is the kind of person who says "For my brother, the commander" when she activates her skills.

She is a lively girl with fluffy hair, who would say "Hairstyle? Hehe, this is natural, just like a dog, Commander, do you want to touch it?"

A cute guy who will try to catch rabbits for the Commander's sake.

Even though her favorability has been reduced to the lowest, she is still saying, "Commander, do you hate me?" This strange ship girl.

"I just did what was right."

The commander said this, and it sounded like he was just trying to be cool, but it was the truth.

“There are very few people who can do that, to be honest.”

Z23 said word by word, "So I am very proud."

"Z23 is really a delicate guy."

"I am only at an average level, but others are more likely to become yandere."

"...Are you kidding me?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if Beagle, Kasim, Haruzuki and Shingetsu of Akizuki level all enter yandere state together."

Z23 said calmly, "Commander, you draw the turtle. You lose."

"Eh!? Were you trying to divert my attention just now?"

"Well, who knows?"

Z23 looked at the time and said, "It's almost time to go back."

"Oh, be careful on the road."

"――I'm just going back upstairs. By the way, Commander, I have to go to Haruzuki and Shingetsu JP's place tomorrow."

"what?"

"Little Swan needs resources to enter the channel. Last time, Sister Xianghe entered the channel with the approval of the headquarters. This time it is different. Little Swan needs to go through Chunyue and Xinyue to enter the channel. We need to thank Chunyue and Xinyue for managing the resources."

"makes sense."

The commander responded.

Z23 walked out of the room and was about to close the door when she said -

"Good night."

"Good night?"

Chapter 13 Let’s just concentrate on driving

a new day.

Resource placement site.

Currently, the resource management of the South Sea Port area is mainly handled by the Akizuki-class Haruzuki and Shingetsu JP. Of course, Z23 and Kimberly will also be asked to help when the pressure is high.

Speaking of the most apologetic shipgirls, the commander would definitely include these Akizuki-class kids.

It’s not that the Qiuyue level is bad, it’s just that the Qiuyue level is too good.

The Akizuki-class is an anti-aircraft destroyer specially designed by the IJN to escort aircraft carriers. It was once the largest destroyer of the Sakura Empire Combined Fleet and one of the few ships with the best air defense performance. Their specialized features for air defense make them extremely rare, but their actual role is very important.

The Type 98 twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun was also the best anti-aircraft gun used by the old Sakura Navy.

Many admirals and commanders are proud to draw or get the Akizuki class, which seems to symbolize their ticket to Europe.

The commander thought the same when he got the Akizuki class, but it was a long time later that he realized that he would never be able to get an aircraft carrier.

As an air defense destroyer that exists to escort aircraft carriers, without aircraft carriers, its existence naturally loses its meaning.

However, due to the short-term commission of the expedition, the consumption of the Akizuki class with excellent performance is far higher than that of the Sixth Destroyer Fleet and the Eighth Destroyer Fleet.

Go out to sea and fight the Sirens. The highlight of the Akizuki class lies in the four Type 98 Gaopings, also known as the Akizuki cannons.

Correspondingly, the other positions are equipped with Akizuki guns, so the machine gun position can only be equipped with a quadruple torpedo tube, which has slightly lower versatility.

The commander also wanted to give Qiuyue a chance to improve his training, but this was on the battlefield with the Siren. This was the South China Sea, which was related to Donghuang's wartime oil and gas supply line. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the Hangu Pass on the sea, and he could not assign teams based on his personal preferences.

Otherwise, if one makes a wrong move, all the ship girls will lose their lives.

As a result, the Royal Crescent, which has the same name as Crescent JP, has been transformed, but the training level of Crescent JP is still very low.

It should have been a shining presence in other port areas, but it fell into obscurity here with the commander and could only help slightly in logistics.

This is also the fundamental reason why Haruzuki and Shingetsu JP become inferior and always take the responsibility on themselves whenever there is a problem.

The arrival of Shokaku might make it possible for the Akizuki class to take the field, but the commander always feels that that guy is not very reliable.

"So that's what happened."

On the resource placement field, Chunyue expressed such emotion.

"I'm so sorry that I need your help during my vacation."

"Don't worry about it. I'm glad to be able to help Your Highness."

Haruzuki smiled shyly, "But I never expected that the usually quiet little swan sister would show such a strange side."

"Well, all sorts of things happened. The resource list for Little Swan entering the canal also needs to be sorted into a document. Thank you for your hard work."

"it does not matter."

Chunyue smiled and said, "Your Highness, would you like to try the sakura cakes I made recently?"

"Haruzuki can also make sakura cakes, please give me some."

"Yes, Your Highness. Open your mouth~ah~"

"Mmm... so sweet."

It's more like it's too sweet.

"Is it not to your liking? I'm sorry..."

Haruzuki looked a little embarrassed when he heard the commander's comments.

"It still tastes good, but it's still too sweet for me."

The commander said, looking Harutsuki over.

Today is theoretically Haruzuki's day off, but in order to deal with his affairs, he worked overtime again.

Even her hair was a little shaggy, and the commander suddenly said, "Haruzuki, let me help you comb your hair."

"Is your hand okay?"

"If it's just combing your hair, it's fine."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Chunyue was flattered.

While combing his hair, the commander also chatted with Haruzuki about other topics.

The resource storage area is located in a small corner of the port area. Haruzuki and Shingetsu JP are not very outgoing and are completely unaware of what has happened in the past few days.

Fortunately, the commander was not misunderstood by all the ship girls.

"Eh? You mean, Commander!?"

Maybe it was because it was a holiday, Xinyue woke up from the lounge in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the commander combing Haruzuki's hair.

"Wow, am I dreaming..."

"Sister, you are not mistaken, it is really His Highness."

"Wow, the Commander actually came to see me. I'm about to cry..."

"..."

The last time I came here seemed to be two or three months ago.

"Commander, are you going to use the Akizuki Cannon this time? I maintain it well every day, but wear and tear is inevitable. I hope you don't mind..."

"..."

It’s embarrassing to say that the commander came that time also for the Akizuki Cannon, just like a scumbag.

Xinyue is just a child. It's like a parent taking away his child's most precious toy and giving it to a relative's child to play with. Xinyue is very sensible, but that doesn't mean he is right to do so.

This time I came here to ask for a favor from Chunyue and Xinyue.

"Speak of it."

The commander suddenly had an idea, "Haruyuki, Xinyue, do you want to go out and play?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. You guys change your clothes, I'll change into plain clothes and go find a car."

………………

Although we said we were going out for fun, in fact we were just going to a large shopping mall in the neighboring county.

After all, ship girls are different from humans. Ship girls need permission from their commanders to go out. In order to avoid trouble, commanders rarely give such permission to ship girls.

But with the commander watching personally, there shouldn't be any problem.

“But there are so few people.”

Chunyue looked around. This was considered a relatively large shopping mall near the Nanhai Naval Base.

“Because it’s a workday.”

The commander asked, "Want something to eat? Or buy something?"

"Your Highness, I want to eat red date cake and stinky tofu, and I also want to buy a can of honey..."

Chunyue was very excited.

Xinyue tugged at Chunyue's clothes, "Chunyue, don't bother the commander so much..."

"It's okay. Today is a day off. It's okay to walk around and have a look."

The commander smiled and spoke for Haruzuki.
