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

With a cry of grief in his heart, the good boy Nodai explained calmly: "The castle tower is a key place for us Sakura Empire. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission."

"But I heard that as long as a formal visit request is made to the castle tower of Sakura Empire..."

"Don't trust all rumors. Miss Brest should understand this."

Hearing this, Brest's expression became sad. Didn't he just want to get close to the hero and recite his legend? Why was it so difficult? It seemed that he was even hated...

Brest is full of yearning and longing for heroes. It can be said that this fifth-stage super cruiser has been very obsessed with heroes since he was awakened. This is his innate character and preference.

In less than a year since her birth, Brest had experienced many battles. After seeing how calm Richelieu and Veneto were in desperate situations, she thought these two were the heroes she was looking for.

In fact, these two ship girls can definitely be called heroes. When the Faro Sea and Chester area were blockaded by the Sirens for several years, they relied on their own strength to hold on to this day with scarce resources.

Whether it was humans or ship girls, there were countless sacrifices along the way, but they were not defeated by these. They turned their grief into strength and never left the front line.

After the communication was restored and the rescue signal from Ajax was received, Brest immediately led the fleet to fight in the Solomon Sea. Veneto's strength and Richelieu's integrity were deeply impressed in Brest's heart.

But when the Solomon Line of Defense was broken, they learned that the world had changed drastically. The real name of the Siren was Antix, and they were not the enemy of this world. The real enemy was a group of lunatics called Embers.

Ajax sent them to the Solomon Sea to join forces with Antix to ambush and kill Yu Jin. Unfortunately, when they arrived, the battle was over and some misunderstandings occurred.

For the ship girls of the Sardinian Empire and the Iris Church, these events rewrote their worldview and it would take them a while to digest it.

But Brest is different. She cares more about Diehai Menghua's battle process. Such a huge battle will definitely give birth to a "hero", which is part of the epic.

Then, she saw the most dazzling light among all the ship girls.

The commander named Xia Bai.

In constant conversations with Azur Lane and Crimson Axis, Brest gradually understood his own heart and what kind of hero he was looking for.

Unfortunately, before she could transform herself into a bard and sing the other party's legend, she was hated.

"Huh? If you're looking for a hero, then you can go out and turn left to Enterprise, or after turning left, go to the beach and see if New Jersey is there."

"I have nothing to do with heroes. Bringing peace and saving the world is just a matter of convenience."

Although Xia Bai repeatedly stated that he did this because Antiks and Ember happened to be blocking his way, Brest could tell that they were just shy of the title and were not shy about it.

So, Brest pestered Xia Bai and asked him to tell his story.

Can you imagine that no matter where you go, a blonde girl will suddenly appear, looking longing and excited and asking you to tell her a story?

At first Xia Bai didn't think it was a big deal, but later he felt it was more and more torturous. Before, there was only a Da Feng hanging behind him, and now there is an additional Brest. How can he have any private space?

The key point is that these two people have metaphysical radars that can sense themselves, but one is called the Commander Radar and the other is called the Hero Radar.

Being beautiful is a good thing, it will give people a pleasing feeling, but torturing people is not good. So when Xia Bai found out that she was torturing him, he forbade Brest to go to the castle tower, and took a detour when he saw her.

It has to be said that this is a sad thing for Brest.

But she will not be easily defeated. Even if she cannot go to the castle tower and is hated by Xia Bai, she will persist in her admiration for being a hero.

After adjusting his mindset, Brest smiled brightly at Noshiro and asked, "It's okay, I will find a way to talk to the hero..."

There is no way you can find a way. If the master really doesn't want to see you, you will never find him no matter what.

Just as Noshiro was secretly complaining about Brest's confidence, the other party's voice rang out again.

"Excuse me, Miss Noshiro and Miss Kaohsiung, are you going home with these bags? Do you need my help?"

Noshiro glanced at Brest, who was bending his arms and looking very strong, and quickly shook his head and refused: "No, we can do it ourselves."

"Don't be so formal, we are all companions in Azur Lane, let me help you." As he said this, Brest forcibly took the bag from Noshiro's hand.

Noshiro really wants to say that I am actually the Red Axis now, not the Azur Lane...

But after seeing the bright smile on Brest's face, he softened his heart. Acting too strangely might attract the other party's attention.

Noshiro thought that the master would not be here until later, and Brest would be gone by the time they got home, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Chapter 6 Agano misled me!

The sky gradually darkened, the sunset glowed, the golden halo revealed an atmosphere of dusk, the clouds piled up together, occasionally showing a little glow.

The breeze blew across this new port area, the tender buds on the branches swayed slightly, and everything was so peaceful and quiet.

Walking cautiously on the clean street, Xia Bai looked around like a thief, and when he found that he was completely safe, he let out a long sigh.

Having just escaped from Brest's pursuit, they were almost caught by the passing Plymouth. Why are these two ship girls running around instead of staying in their own camp?

If Xia Bai hadn't known that he had come out of the castle tower on a whim, he would have suspected that there was a traitor who revealed his whereabouts. It was really bad luck that he ran into Brest and Plymouth as soon as he went out.

Fortunately, thanks to his superb stealth skills, the two men did not catch him on the spot, otherwise he would have been busy again today.

Recalling the horrors of Brest and Plymouth, Xia Bai touched his chest with lingering fear and walked quickly towards Agano's house.

After skillfully climbing over the wall and entering the courtyard, Xia Bai stood in the pavilion and was about to open the wooden door, but for some reason he changed the pulling action to knocking.

"Noshiro, Agano, I'm coming in."

"Ah... please wait a moment."

There was a little bit of chaos in the room, as if the people inside were not ready yet.

After a while, the wooden door was opened, and Noshiro's pretty and delicate face came into Xia Bai's eyes, with a hint of embarrassment and... self-blame?

Glancing at the girl's tender bare feet stepping on the wooden floor, Xia Bai patted her head and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Didn't I say I would come over later? Why do I feel like you're not ready yet?"

"This..." Noshiro was too embarrassed to speak, and then kept giving Xia Bai glances.

Looking at Noshiro who was winking at him, Xia Bai scratched his face in confusion and asked, "Is it Agano who doesn't welcome me... Is our relationship not that bad?"

The relationship with his soul mate Agano deteriorated because of something Xia Bai said when the other party came to ask for an explanation after learning that Noshiro had fallen into the clutches of the devil.

"From the first moment I saw your sister, I knew I had made you my best friend. If you keep chattering here, be careful that I will break the black silk chocolate I gave you."

These words made Agano so angry that he slammed the door and left. From then on, the two of them seemed to have no intention of seeing each other again.

But Xia Bai was the commander after all, and Agano was his ship girl. This situation did not last long and eased. At most, there was just some awkwardness when they met.

But now seeing Noshiro's apologetic look, Xia Bai felt that his relationship with Agano had not improved, but had become worse.

"No, it's not like that. Agano-sister was very happy to know that the master was coming, and she even prepared to take out her collection of sake," Noshiro explained.

"So what? Could it be that Noshiro doesn't welcome me?" After teasing his eldest disciple, Xia Bai took Noshiro's delicate little hand, opened the wooden door and walked in together.

He saw Hei Kaohsiung, who was sitting cross-legged at the square table, looking at him strangely, as if he wanted to say something.

Holding Noshiro's hand and sitting opposite her, Xia Bai smiled and said, "Why are you acting weird too? Just say whatever you want to say. It's not like Yu Jin to be hesitant."

With his thin lips moving, Hei Gaoxiong withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and said lightly: "I am no longer Yu Jin..."

"I'd like to give you a piece of advice. There are people here that you don't want to see. It's best to leave as soon as possible."

Although they were a little annoyed with Xia Bai's laziness, after all, they were now living under someone else's roof, so they spoke up to remind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, a few giggles were heard in the corridor, followed by the sweet voice that Xia Bai least wanted to hear.

"Is this the traditional kimono of Sakura Empire? It seems a bit tight and doesn't suit me very well."

"Miss Brest, you are joking. With your looks, you will look beautiful no matter what you wear. If the commander sees you, he will definitely be attracted to you."

"Attracting the hero... I always feel like he hates me."

"Brest is being too self-deprecating. With that guy's obsession with eroticism, he definitely wouldn't hate you. There must be some misunderstanding."

"..."

As the conversation got closer, Xia Bai's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Why did Brest come to Noshiro's house? Could there really be a traitor in the castle tower?

Thinking of this, Xia Bai turned around and looked at Noshiro who looked innocent, and smiled viciously, indicating that he would be in trouble tonight. Then he straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair, and sat down at the square table.

You can't escape the fifteenth day if you can't escape the first day. There is no way to escape this time. He is doomed today.

"Swish——"

The wooden door was opened, and Brest, wearing a cherry-colored kimono, and Agano, wearing a black-red shrine maiden costume, walked in.

When he saw Xia Bai, Agano covered his mouth with his hands and said in surprise: "Oh, what a coincidence, we were just talking about the commander."

If he hadn't seen the teasing in Agano's eyes, Xia Bai would have almost believed her lies. And now he didn't have the time to scold Agano for selling her fingers for fame.

Because when Brest appeared beside Xia Bai, no one knew it. His proud figure directly squeezed Noshiro out, and his gray-blue eyes radiated a light of excitement, like a crazy star-chaser.

"My dear hero, I..."

"I already know. Let's talk about it after dinner."

Xia Bai interrupted Brest with a gentle smile, then nodded to Agano and said, "I apologize for my sudden arrival."

"I'm so happy to have you here, Commander... By the way, the rice is almost ready. I'll go get the dishes ready. Please wait."

After saying that, Agano hurriedly left the room.

From the other party's guilty behavior, Xia Bai could conclude that the real betrayer was this guy. Agano must still be dissatisfied with his relationship with Noshiro!

This guy is not a sister complex, why does he care so much about Noshiro? Didn't he just eat Noshiro because of her legs? Why is he so hostile to me? He actually set a trap to make me look bad.

Besides, if we really trace the root of the problem, it was entirely because Nengdai himself was a traitor to his master, and he had no other thoughts at the time.

Wait, it seems that it is because Agatsuma fooled Noshiro that the other party decided to attack the master.

In short, Xia Bai expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of Agano's behavior, and made a series of revenge plans in his heart.

Mr. Xia, revenge never takes overnight.

Chapter 7 Gone with the Wind

After dinner, Xia Bai sat lazily on the pavilion, admiring the night scenery and drinking the sake that Agano had collected for many years.

Although he was not good at drinking, he could still have a few drinks with the power of spiral. Perhaps it was because the stone that had been pressing on his chest was gone, or perhaps the pressure was not as great as before, Xia Bai drank very generously.

What's more, drinking with a beautiful woman under the moon and flowers is a different kind of experience.

After three rounds of drinks, Noshiro, with a rosy face, fell asleep on Xia Bai's shoulder in a daze.

"Master, don't... Agano-sister is still here, don't touch Noshiro's feet, huhuhu."

After hearing Noshiro's dream talk, Xia Bai's face turned red. He drank the sake in the glass and explained to the other three people: "Noshiro is drunk, and her words are not credible. In fact..."

Agano covered half of his face with his sleeves and chuckled, "We didn't say anything. Commander, are you admitting it yourself?"

"Besides, everyone knows that you are a foot fetishist, so why hide it?"

Shaking his head, Xia Bai looked at the full moon hanging high in the night sky and sighed, "Alas, I don't know who made my little quirk known to everyone... Foot fetish is not an uncommon quirk, right?"

"I found that there are quite a few people who like this in the internal forum of the Communication Ring."

In the commanders' anonymous multiple-choice XP vote, feet and legs received 50% of the commanders' votes, which is not a rare amount of XP.

By the way, Naizi's voting rate was 90%, which can be regarded as popular choice.

After pretending to be deep for a long time but not hearing Agano's voice, Xia Bai withdrew his gaze from admiring the moon and looked at other people, with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Originally, everyone was sitting on the corridor drinking, but now Agano, Brest, and Takao META have retreated a distance and are staring at him with a perverted look.

And when Xia Bai's eyes swept over them, the little feet on the wooden floor unconsciously retracted into their skirts. People like Hei Kaohsiung directly changed to a kneeling position and hid the chocolate behind them.

Xia Bai could understand the meaning of their eyes, disgust, disgust...

With a blush on her face that was either shy or drunken, Agano said weakly, "Commander-sama can be so honest about your XP without hiding anything. As a ship girl, I am very happy, but I also hope that you will consider the right place and person."

He said all this to the girl under the moonlight late at night. Fortunately, Agano was Xia Bai's ship girl, otherwise she would have thrown him out on the street long ago.

Xia Bai said in surprise: "Didn't you bring up this topic first? Why are you blaming me now?"

"Commander, you really don't understand romance. Can you continue this topic?"

Looking at Brest who looked greatly shocked and Hei Takao who had no expression at all, Agano looked confused.

Forget about Brest, after all, she is the only outsider here, the others are all Sakura Empire shipgirls, but Kaohsiung is not the commander's wedding ship, why is she hiding? Did she have a quarrel with the commander?

Would Kaohsiung, who is so traditional, also quarrel with her husband?

Noticing that Agano had been staring at him, Hei Kaohsiung frowned, then seemed to understand something and said coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not Kaohsiung."

"Haha~ Kaohsiung is really good at joking. If you're not Kaohsiung, who else could it be... eh."

The laughter stopped abruptly. Agano looked at Xia Bai in disbelief. After seeing him nod silently, he quickly turned around and sat next to Xia Bai. He asked in a low voice, "Why did the commander bring her here?"

"We met on the road, so we came together... Why, didn't Nodai tell you?"

Hearing this, Agano lowered her head with a complicated expression. When Noshiro brought the two of them in, she obviously wanted to say something, but she didn't care and went to greet Brest, the Iris ship girl who was visiting for the first time.

Now I know that this Kaohsiung is not that Kaohsiung.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Embers have been staying in the port for the past few months and have almost never left the house. Most people didn't pay attention to them, so it is understandable that Agano mistook the wrong person.
