Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

After successfully passing through the Torii gate at the foot of the mountain, Xia Bai wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked back with lingering fear. The castle tower on the mountain was completely without any fire, and it looked exceptionally quiet under the moonlight.

The diffuse night gradually covered the building, bringing with it a somewhat eerie atmosphere. A man-eating fox spirit lived inside.

After taking a deep breath, Xia Bai thought to himself that Nagato would not lower himself to catch up with him, so he slowed down his pace and walked towards his home.

The dark clouds gradually covered the bright moon, and the bright moonlight disappeared, only the faint stars were still embedded in the night sky.

There was no sound in the huge residential area. Although there were many ship girls in the Sakura Empire who liked to travel at night, they all went to sleep at three o'clock in the morning. Only Xia Bai was strolling on the street, enjoying the night view with great interest.

Compared to the royal family who live in palaces, the Sakura Empire ship girls prefer to live in their own separate courtyards, or with their sisters or good colleagues.

So this residential area was formed, and when there was a war, they would go to the castle tower together to discuss.

Xia Bai didn't quite know which kind of habit was better, this one or the royal one, but he preferred the living habits of the Sakura Empire, which felt more down-to-earth.

There are trees, flowers and plants planted along the streets, plus typical Japanese-style buildings, making Xia Bai feel like he has come to a small town made up of ship girls. When he is bored, he can go shopping and visit friends.

This is the lifestyle he likes. After staying in the royal family for a long time, Xia Bai always felt like he was imprisoned, and could only wander around in the room or the luxurious corridor every day.

Perhaps this is why Kewei is so rebellious. After staying in a "birdcage" for a long time, people will always yearn for the outside world.

It’s not that it’s bad for everyone to live together, it’s just that Xia Bai doesn’t like it. The main reason is that the atmosphere of the palace makes him feel uncomfortable.

With his mind wandering, Xia Bai had already crossed the mahogany bridge and arrived at the East District. He would be able to return to his warm bed in a few minutes. Maybe the maid was waiting for him in bed.

After turning the corner, he stopped and looked at the dark ship girl who suddenly appeared and fell into deep thought.

"Hello, Mr. Xia Bai. Are you also out for a walk because you can't sleep?"

Staring at the deep red streak in front of the other person's short light pink hair, Xia Bai seemed to suddenly remember something and greeted him, "Almost... Ron, are you feeling better?"

If Ron's highlighted hair hadn't left a deep impression on Xia Bai, he really wouldn't have recognized who it was.

With his eyes curved into a crescent, Ron smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am almost healed after Ms. Shokaku sent me to the infirmary."

"So fast? I remember that you had a big hole in your abdomen, Ron."

Recalling the scene at that time, Xia Bai could accurately remember the other party's serious injuries. If it happened to an ordinary person, he would probably not survive on the spot. Should we say that she is worthy of being a ship girl, as she could recover so quickly.

"Haha~ Of course, the ship girl is no weaker than you, the Sons of Promise, when she recovers. After all, Mr. Xia Bai has also suffered such an injury, so he should understand it very well."

As he said this, Ron's voice suddenly became gentle again.

"By the way, Mr. Xia Bai, do you want to take a look?"

"What are you looking at?"

Ron unbuttoned his black military uniform, lifted up his hem to reveal his smooth and soft belly, pointed to the right and said, "Look here, is it completely healed now?"

Secretly glancing at the other's cute belly button, Xia Bai touched his chin and said, "Even the skin has become smooth and flawless, it is indeed healed."

"By the way, Ron, what's that in your hand, a fish?"

From the moment they met, Xia Bai was very concerned about the fish that was swaying in Ron's hand, and now was the perfect time to ask about it.

Putting down his clothes, Ron picked up the fish and handed it to Xia Bai, saying with a smile, "It's a fish, but it's not for eating. I'm going to put it back into the river. Mr. Xia Bai, please don't pay attention to it."

Recognizing the fish in the other person's hand, Xia Bai's mouth twitched: "This is a sea fish, it won't survive in the river, Ron, you should go to the beach and release it."

Pointing at the corner of his mouth, Ron raised his head and said curiously, "But I picked it up from the beach, and it didn't seem to want to go back to the sea, so I planned to release it on the redwood bridge."

"This will at least keep the fish alive for now, right?"

The Iron-Blooded Ship Girls that Ron and Xia Bai imagined were not quite the same. According to what others had told him about the Iron-Blooded camp, most of the Ship Girls there were rigorous and stern, and there were also quite a few with crazy personalities.

But the Miss Roan in front of him made Xia Bai feel that she was a bit naive? She was also very gentle and seemed to have a special liking for releasing animals. Was it because it was a scientific research ship?

Considering that the establishment of the Red Axis was to win over the Iron Blood, Xia Bai decided to take this opportunity to ask Ron about Bismarck and the internal situation of the Iron Blood, and said, "Then I will go with you. It won't take much time anyway."

"Well, thank you Mr. Xia Bai."

After a while, the two came to the mahogany bridge. Watching Ron carefully throw the fish that "didn't want to return to the sea" into the water, Xia Bai had already determined in his heart that the other party was the kind of gentle ship girl similar to Shokaku, so it was easy to finish his words.

He didn't test anything and just asked what he wanted to know.

"Ron, you are a ship girl from the Iron Blood, right? What's the environment like over there? I heard that Bismarck is quite 'cruel'."

Staring at the small fish swimming slowly in the river, Ron replied without turning his head: "Everyone in the Iron Blood is very serious, the atmosphere is very tense, and they are training every day."

"No one has any hobbies or interests, or they can't express their interests and hobbies because of this atmosphere."

"Although Bismarck was very dogmatic and serious, he was not 'cruel'."

Having said that, Ron turned his head and stared at Xia Bai, his brown eyes flashing with inexplicable emotions.

"Mr. Xia Bai asked me this, do you want to go to Tiexue to have a look?"

Being stared at like this, Xia Bai inexplicably felt a bit of pressure, looked away, and said calmly: "Maybe if I have a chance, I should go back and broaden my horizons."

"I'm very curious about the factions in Azur Lane, but I only know about the Royal Family and Sakura Empire. What's the Iron Bloods like? What kind of person is Bismarck? I really want to know."

"Then I will remind Mr. Xia Bai."

Putting his finger to his mouth, Ron smiled gently.

"Which Iron Blood ship girls are the ones you'd better not get in touch with?"

Chapter 85 Ron's Friendly Reminder

With his hands on the bridge railing, Xia Bai listened carefully to Ron's story, and in his mind he labeled the ship girls she mentioned one by one.

"Let's talk about Tirpitz first. She has an amazing understanding of 'temperature'. She usually has no expression on her face and always likes to stay alone in a corner, thinking about her fantasy theories."

An icy beauty who is almost like the monarch. She might have some problems with her brain, but she doesn't seem to be too troublesome.

"Then there is Frederick the Great... What can I say about that person? Mr. Xia Bai, you should have heard of her."

Looking up and thinking for a while, Xia Bai scratched his face and replied: "I only know that Frederick the Great is your iron-blooded scientific research ship, and it is the strongest battleship under New Jersey... and has made great achievements in battle?"

Xia Bai had only heard of the iron-blooded Frederick the Great from Ajax and Warspite, and they both used him as a "target" in comparison with New Jersey. To be honest, he didn't really know much about him.

"Well, Frederick is indeed a man of great military achievements. In our Iron Blood, he is called the Dark Madonna, although I don't know who spread this name..."

"But it is very appropriate to describe her. She has a strange feeling of darkness and depth, and is full of maternal love. To her, everyone else is a child. Even Bismarck is very troubled by Frederick."

"And she has a theory about 'Laplace's Demon' and likes classical symphonies."

A ship girl who is similar to Glory, but she is indeed black. She has a problem with her brain and is actually thinking about the 'Laplace Demon'. If he has the chance, he really wants to drive the girl-control freak to discuss this issue with her.

"The one who should be most reminded to Mr. Xia Bai is Count Zeppelin. She hates everything and wants to destroy the world. This is not just talk. She believes that the best ending for the world is to usher in the end and turn into nothingness."

"She often says some weird things. Anyway, Zeppelin is very dangerous. If Mr. Xia Bai wants to go to Iron Blood, just be careful to avoid her."

The ship girl with a serious brain disease probably gets along well with Ember, or maybe she is a middle school student.

"As for the rest, there are some guys with strange personalities. I won't mention them one by one. They pose no threat to you, Mr. Xia Bai."

After hearing Ron's special reminder, Xia Bai forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect that you guys at Iron Blood are so full of talented people. There are all kinds of people."

He thought Akagi and the others were weird enough, but he didn't expect that he was just looking at the world from a narrow perspective. It turned out that there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Otherwise, he should just not go to Tiexue to take a look.

Frederick the Great and Tirpitz are fine, but Zeppelin's idea will inevitably lead to a fight with Xia Bai.

Hearing this, Ron lowered his head and sounded a little disappointed.

"Yeah, they're all so weird... and not very friendly. Every time I ask them to hug me, I get rejected."

As if he remembered something, Ron's eyes sparkled, and he opened his arms and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Xia Bai, let's hug each other and then go back to rest."

Looking at the other's plump "Justice", Xia Bai wondered if hugging each other was a bit of an advantage, but then he considered that Ron should particularly like to express his concern for his companions in this way.

So I didn't refuse and opened my arms to give her a warm hug.

But just as they were about to hug each other, a fragrant breeze passed by, and a slender figure blocked the way, and said in an extremely cold voice: "You lunatic, what do you want to do to my dear..."

"Akagi?"

Seeing the furry tail, Xia Bai immediately recognized the other party's movements.

That’s right, the person who came was Akagi. She no longer wanted to wait for the wedding. Who could stand having her ring shown off every day? You know, she hasn’t even established a spiritual connection with Xia Bai.

So Akagi planned to launch an offensive directly after the inauguration ceremony today, but was driven away by Nagato and his men. The little fox was cruel and ruthless, and Akagi was no match for him, not to mention that the other party also called Amagi.

Unable to defeat four hands with two fists, Akagi could only sigh at her own powerlessness and left dejectedly. The smart girl also realized that this was a rare opportunity.

Knowing Xia Bai very well, she knew that as long as he woke up tonight, he would definitely not stay in the castle tower, so Akagi blocked him on his way home.

Even if Xia Bai didn't wake up, it would just be a waste of energy. But if he woke up, once he blocked him, he would not be able to use excuses to get by.

Fortunately, Chicheng made the right bet and saw Ron preparing to hug Xia Bai. Knowing who Ron was, she finally caught up with him at the critical moment.

"It's just a hug, what's wrong with that, Ms. Akagi?"

Looking at Akagi with a smile, Ron was still as gentle as ever, not angry at all.

With a cold snort, Akagi took out the burning shikigami and said, "I warn you, if you point your claws at my dear again, I will tear them apart for you."

"A crazy guy like you better stay away from my dear. I don't want to say it again."

The smile on his face was a little stiff. Ron took back his hand and said aggrievedly: "If you don't want to hug me, then don't hug me. Is it necessary to be so fierce?"

Then he waved to Xia Bai and said, "Let's talk about this hug later. Akagi seems to hate me. I'll leave first."

"Good night, Mr. Xia Bai."

"Good night."

Xia Bai, who hadn't figured out what was going on, waved his hand and watched Ron's figure disappear into the darkness of Sakura Empire.

"Ahem, Akagi, now you should tell me why you targeted Ron. I think she is a nice person."

Xia Bai felt that Chicheng's hostility came suddenly, and it was not as simple as jealousy or possessiveness.

After putting away the shikigami, Akagi hugged Xia Bai's arm sweetly, as if she was not the one who threatened Ron just now. She said in a charming voice: "My dear, you may not know that the people of Tiexue are all crazy, and Ron is the craziest one among them. It's better not to talk to her."

"I don't think so. Ron gives me the impression of a gentle girl next door who also likes to release animals. I wonder if Akagi has any misunderstanding about her."

Xia Bai knew that Iron Blood was a madman, but no matter how he looked at Ron, he didn't think he was that kind of person. Compared to many ship girls, Ron was very normal.

"She is not as gentle as she looks. Don't be fooled, dear... Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? Let's talk about something meaningful."

As he said this, Akagi hugged Xia Bai's arms tighter, his scarlet eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his face had a delicate and sickly blush.

Chapter 86: Sleepless Nights (1)

Why did he stop talking halfway? What was Akagi thinking about? Or was he just keeping me in suspense?

Without noticing the change in Chicheng's expression, Xia Bai looked at the dark river in the night and slowly said, "Actually, I am a little concerned about your hostility towards Ron, Chicheng, but since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"But as for the meaningful things...I have good news to tell you."

Holding Xia Bai's arm, the tail behind him quietly tied him up, and Chicheng said calmly: "Dear, do you have any good news to tell me? Is Chicheng's wedding ready?"

The other party's words suddenly woke Xia Bai up. He seemed to have promised something extraordinary. He originally wanted to give one of the rings he stole from Akashi to Akagi, but it was taken away by Kaga and Shokaku.

Recalling Akagi's several times of crazy behavior, Xia Bai seemed to understand something. He felt inexplicably guilty and his speech became less smooth.

"Well... I'm preparing it. Akagi, please wait a moment. The first thing I'll do when I go to the Maritime Bureau is to customize a vow ring for you."

Frowning, Akagi asked in confusion, "My dear, you want to go to the Maritime Bureau? When do you plan to go?"

According to her personality, she would not let Xia Bai go out. Even under the influence of possessiveness, Akagi wanted to tie Xia Bai tightly to her side. If Xia Bai was an ordinary commander, she would do so without hesitation.

But unfortunately, Xia Bai is obviously not a normal commander. No one can stop the Son of Prometheus from leaving, let alone this alien. The entire Sakura Empire is no match for him.

For Akagi, she no longer cared where Xia Bai went, she just wanted to follow him.

"Well, I plan to go to the Maritime Administration to claim my honors, and then ask for some information. As for when to go, I haven't decided yet."

"Is that so..." With his head resting on Xia Bai's shoulder, Akagi rubbed it and said expectantly: "Will my dear take Akagi with you then?"

Should he bring Akagi with him? This is a very serious question, because when he goes to the Maritime Bureau, he will bring Sirius and Kawaii with him. If Akagi also comes, the situation will most likely get out of control.

Especially since Akagi is very good at fighting and is good at "convincing people with reason", Xia Bai is a little afraid that Akagi will bully Sirius and Miss Fat Dinosaur.

After thinking it over and considering the pros and cons, Xia Bai said, "I will take Royal Awesome and Sirius with me to the Maritime Administration, and plan to spend a few days with them."

"If Akagi doesn't mind, then come on. After spending so much time on the sea, it might be nice to go inland once in a while."

He figured it out. Although Akagi was a bit yandere, overall she hadn't developed into the type that would hurt others. She just looked fierce at ordinary times, but she had never really done anything.

Red Fox is definitely a little fool with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Her strong character is just a manifestation of her love. In fact, even if she is powerless, she will not do anything extreme.

Therefore, Xia Bai doesn't need to worry about anything when it comes to Akagi, as they are people with a shared destiny.

"Then I will go with the commander then, hehe."

Her cherry lips lightly touched Xia Bai's cheek, and a very elegant smile bloomed on her face. Unlike her previous smile that was as decadent as a poppy, at this moment she was just dancing like a poppy, charming and lovely.
