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

She hated him for not fighting for it. She just didn't understand why Sheffield should help Shokaku. Wouldn't it be better for him to help herself, the head maid?

......

On the other side, in a secluded courtyard.

Xianghe looked at Sheffield sitting opposite him with great interest, holding up her sleeve with one hand and filling her cup of tea with the other.

Sheffield said: "Thank you, this is what I, a maid, should do."

"You're welcome, a guest is a guest..." After filling his teapot, Shokaku put down the kettle and asked in confusion, "I won't play dumb with you. Sheffield should understand what Elizabeth means. The twelve people in the office should be prepared for fair competition for the secretary ship."

"I know you're not interested in the secretary ship, but why did you choose to help me with this Sakura Empire ship? Isn't your Royal Ajax good enough?"

Staring at the overflowing hot tea, Sheffield said expressionlessly: "Because it's a promise."

"promise?"

"Well, when you took the Master away from the Royal Family, we made a deal... You take good care of the Master for me, and I'll help you become a secretary ship."

Xianghe thought about it and found that it seemed to be true. A look of joy appeared on his pretty fair face.

She didn't expect that her unintentional show of goodwill would get such a great reward. She had already given up, after all, she couldn't become a secretary ship by working alone.

The others all have helpers to a greater or lesser extent, or at least their own sisters. For example, Akagi has Kaga, and Lexington has Saratoga.

And what does Shokaku have? Zuikaku? She should be thankful that her younger sister doesn't hold her back.

But I didn’t expect Sheffield to come to help at this time, so there is no need to worry about the failure of the great cause!

This is destiny.

Thinking of this, Shokaku asked hurriedly, "I wonder what Sheffield is planning? Can you tell me in detail?"

After taking a sip of tea, Sheffield said in a cold voice: "Ms. Shokaku's power is too small. Even with me, the competition for the wedding ship is no less than an ant trying to shake a tree."

Xianghe asked anxiously, "What's the plan?"

"Sword Team, if you can convince them to support you, Shokaku, you will have a great chance in the fight for the secretary ship."

Hearing this, Shokaku's eyes lit up.

Chapter 39 The upcoming battle for the secretary ship

It is instinctive to stick together, and even wedding ships are no exception.

The Royal Family has small groups like the Maid Corps and the Glorious Sisters, and the Sakura Empire also has the Air Battle Team and the Sword Team.

The sword sets of this heavy Sakura sword are:

'The rebel against the master' Noshiro, 'the swordsman' Takao, 'the dirty talker' Atago, 'the pawa man' Agatsuma, and so on.

It can be said that there are many talented people, each with unique skills.

At this time, the Sakura Sword Team, who were highly expected by Shokaku, gathered at his home in Kaohsiung, digesting the information revealed in the meeting.

"Joining the office is just a stepping stone. The real goal is to become a secretary ship... You are truly worthy of being the Royal Queen." Agatsuma couldn't help but feel a little emotional as she explained the purpose of the 'activity' to Noshiro and Kaohsiung who were confused.

Xia Bai once said that Elizabeth was wise but appeared foolish, and my wife didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that she really deserves this evaluation.

Sitting next to my wife, Noshiro's jade feet wrapped in hazy black silk were slightly curled up, and her nails looked even more crystal clear under the dim candlelight.

On her delicate legs, she placed her companion sword. She stroked the scabbard and said in a depressed tone, "Compared to these, I am more concerned about the physical condition of the master. Is he really okay? If he is okay, why would he block us?"

Atago replied in a lively tone: "Don't worry, Xiao Xiabai is not that fragile. It is normal for him to have some problems with his body."

"Compared to this, can you not want to get the position of secretary ship? I really want it, so that I can enter and leave the office openly, hide under the table when Xiao Xia is working, and then..."

Before she could finish her words, Atago found a sharp blade emitting cold light appearing on her neck. She smiled awkwardly at Kaohsiung and swallowed the rest of her words.

Sister Kaohsiung has become even more powerful since she asked that black Kaohsiung for advice. I couldn't even feel the sound of her knife drawing at such a close distance.

With a cold snort, Kaohsiung sheathed his sword and said indifferently, "The secretary ship is indeed very attractive, but I also have to consider whether I can do it."

Turning to look at my wife who was smiling, Kaohsiung said seriously: "Here, my wife is the most suitable person to sit in that position. If you want, we will do our best to help you."

"Wait, where are Noshiro and I? Sister Kaohsiung, you can't be so dictatorial!" Atago shouted in dissatisfaction.

"I told you to consider whether you have the ability to do this job."

After being in contact with Hei Kaohsiung for a long time, Kaohsiung seemed to become indifferent, and his tone and expression kept moving towards that side. The swordsmanship that was originally relatively "shallow" in Azuma's eyes has now become quite effective.

Staring at Kaohsiung's face with her beautiful eyes shrouded in mist, my wife clenched the long knife in her hand, thinking that maybe she should go to Hei Kaohsiung to ask for advice?

Then he shook his head and said, "The secretary ship needs to assume corresponding responsibilities. My personality is not suitable for sitting in that position. Forget it."

Compared to the glamorous secretary ship, Azuma wants to stay by Xia Bai's side as a gentle wife.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Noshiro cautiously asked, "Then should we all withdraw?"

A smile appeared on the foxy face, and Atago said with a smile: "Quit? This is too easy for the Royal Family and Akagi. Just because we don't fight doesn't mean we can't help others."

"The secretary ship can help the commander arrange the 'night battle' list. What I mean is to find a guy who is good for us to sit on the secretary ship, and then fill our class!"

Rarely, Kaohsiung did not use his own methods to force Atago to shut up again, but fell into deep thought.

The Sakura Empire's ship girls all have some desire for sexual pleasure, and the strong ones will even enter the estrus period. It would have been fine if they didn't have a commander before, but they had to choose between forcing themselves to endure it or solving it on their own.

Now that I have Xia Bai, why should I endure it? Isn't it natural to be intimate with my husband? So although what Atago said is explicit, it really needs to be considered carefully.

It is easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugality. That’s about it.

After struggling for a moment, Kaohsiung tentatively said, "If I really want to help... I think Huan Meng's Lexington is a good choice."

"She is not from the Sakura Empire or the Royal Family, and she is not even from the early days of Azur Lane. Although she came early, she was never able to fully integrate into the port area because of her faction relationship."

"Lexington must want to be a secretary ship, that's why she came here, but unfortunately she only has a Saratoga with her. If we help her, we can first help her integrate into the port area, and second, we can become her most steadfast ally."

"In such a case, Lexington's platoon 'night battle'...will give priority to us because she has almost no other options."

This was like enlightenment, and Atago suddenly realized it. She clapped her hands and agreed, "It's true...Lexington is very powerful. She has been suppressing Shokaku for the past three months. I'm afraid Akagi is not her opponent."

"There are just too few helpers. Even if there is a stage for her to show her skills, she won't be able to achieve anything. If we help her, we can still have a 50% chance, if not a 90% chance."

After saying that, Atago looked at Kaohsiung with a strange look and laughed in an obscene way, which made Kaohsiung feel nauseous.

"Haha, Sister Kaohsiung, you are really a talent. When it comes to night battles, you can even think of these."

Why didn't she realize before that her sister Kaohsiung had such a broad mind? It turned out that she was just pretending to be serious, but in fact she was extremely hungry.

With a blush on her face, Kaohsiung turned her head away and ignored Atago, but the hand holding the knife still betrayed her inner turmoil.

Standing up from the tatami, Atago straightened her clothes, patted her chest and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will contact the Lexington sisters now. Then, tomorrow we will formally launch the search for the commander and prepare for the twelve candidates to enter the office."

Nodding, Azuma smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Atago."

Just as Atago accepted the mission and prepared to go to Lexington's residence, the communication rings of the four members of the sword team rang at the same time.

The four of them had different looks on their faces, and when they opened it, the first thing that caught their eyes was a message from the Prince of Wales, which said that the commander was in Iron Blood.

The second is the information from 'Xia Bai'. Considering the loss of the communication ring, this should have been sent by Zhenhai.

The information was not elaborate, only a photo of Xia Bai, with the following caption:

"Aren't you curious about what happened to the commander? This is what the commander looks like now. Go and rescue him from Frederick the Great."

For some reason, when looking at the photo of the young boy Xia Bai, Kaohsiung and Atago's ears suddenly stood up and their orange eyes turned into vertical pupils.

Chapter 40 Head Size

At this time, Xia Bai naturally didn't know that he had been betrayed, nor did he know that because Elizabeth was going to hold an event, the ship girls had all gone to the secretary ship to enjoy themselves.

He was now sitting upright on a small stool, being fed by Frederick the Great.

"Ah~ open your mouth."

"what--"

Carefully putting the soup spoon into Xia Bai's mouth, Frederick the Great's eyes curved like crescent moons, and he was extremely happy.

Stroking Xia Bai's head, she asked with a smile, "Are you full, my child?"

"I'm full!" Xia Bai said energetically, looking at Frederick with his big watery eyes.

There is no doubt that Frederick the Great got great satisfaction from playing house, and after bringing Xia Bai back to Iron Blood, he almost granted all his requests.

And the other party seemed to really treat him as his own "child", which made Xia Bai confused. Why did Frederick the Great care about the "child" issue? If he really wanted to have one, wouldn't it be better for him to just have one?

Why did he choose to go to other camps to find the little expellee? There have been many letters complaining about Frederick in the past three months...

However, even though he didn't understand what was wrong with Frederick, Xia Bai still satisfied Frederick the Great's strange desire and fulfilled his responsibilities as a commander.

Anyway, now that my body has become smaller and no one can see it, it doesn't matter how embarrassing it is, as long as Frederick the Great is happy, even if I act like a child and pretend to be young, it makes him feel a little disgusted...

"Is that so... I understand. I'll be right there."

Just as Xia Bai was thinking about how to spend the next few days comfortably, Frederick the Great answered the ring, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

She turned around and smiled at Xia Bai: "I'm sorry, mother can't accompany you now..."

Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Xia Bai asked calmly, "You want to go out?"

Frederick the Great nodded awkwardly and said, "Bismarck wants to talk to me about something... Stay here and don't run around, my child."

"Ok!"

After pinching Xia Bai's little face again, Frederick the Great left reluctantly.

When the footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away and disappeared, Xia Bai breathed a sigh of relief and put away his pretended innocence and cuteness.

"Playing the role of a child is really torturous... Frederick the Great is the same. He insisted on playing this kind of house." Speaking of Frederick the Great, Xia Bai couldn't help but think of the warning Ron gave him.

The members of Iron Blood are all very strange ship girls, not very normal ship girls. Because the characteristics they display are too weird, they actually overshadow some of the normal ship girls.

As far as Xia Bai knew, Count Spee was a very well-behaved child, and the two heavy cruisers with P-class armor were also very friendly and normal, not like an iron-blooded ship girl.

No, judging from the ship girls Xia Bai met, they were the most normal group.

"So, the personalities of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls are at two extremes... The weird ones are extremely weird, and the normal ones are extremely normal."

Muttering quietly, Xia Bai took the time to glance around the room he was in. When Frederick the Great brought him in some time ago, he had not taken a close look at it.

This is a room with a rather "iron and blood" style, with gray walls and furniture made of pure metal, but compared to the tragic scenes seen in the White Eagle Port area, there are more paintings. The curtains are dark red, with mysterious patterns on them.

If you ask what is missing, there is really nothing missing. All the necessary furniture is there. But if you ask what is not missing, Xia Bai always feels that this does not look like a woman's room. It lacks a bit of liveliness?

This kind of dark-toned room looks creepy, and it is inevitable that the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl will develop mental abnormalities after living in it for a long time.

Looking at this, Xia Bai decided to wait until he recovered and then go to talk to Bismarck about this matter.

The White Eagle Port area was a temporary residence, and Tiexue had nothing to do with him at that time, so he could ignore it, but this was the new home, and everyone would live here forever, so it would be unacceptable not to decorate it a bit.

No reason needed, this is the commander's order, well, that's it.

Having made up his mind, Xia Bai accidentally glanced at the black cloth on Frederick's bed and his pupils shrank slightly.

Lace edge, hollowed out...I didn't expect you, who wants to be a mother, are so good at it?

As if by magic, Xia Bai jumped down from the small stool, walked quickly to the big bed, looked at the black cloth carefully, and seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance on it.

Xia Bai picked up the black cloth with slight tremors and compared it with his head, and discovered a shocking fact.

Frederick the Great's nipple was actually several sizes bigger than his head. So even if Xia Bai recovered, he would still not be as big as him!

"Is Frederick the Great's figure so good? Her usual clothes are not the kind that are very conservative and chest-binding. Why didn't I notice it before?"

"...Shipgirl, it's really amazing."

Throwing the black cloth in his hand on the bed, Xia Bai quietly walked out of the room.

It is impossible to stay here. Xia Bai is only helping Frederick the Great because of his physical condition and his responsibility as a commander. It is better for him to forget about being a good boy.

He, Xia Bai, has been arbitrary for eternity, fighting the embers, destroying humility, and chatting and laughing with observers. How could he be bound by a cricket, Frederick the Great.

Besides, Xia Bai followed Frederick to Tiexue for a purpose. He hadn't seen Ti Zi for almost half a month, and the other party didn't show up when he asked him to come to the office before.

So now is a good time to give Tirpitz a 'surprise'.

Of course, he still wore the fox mask on his face obediently, otherwise his identity would be easily exposed if he walked around casually.

If I were to meet that evil guy, Prince Eugen, my career as a commander would be over.

......

‘Dong dong dong——’

"Please come closer."
