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

Slowly lowering his head, Adalbert said aggrievedly: "I was really wrong. I will never dare to do it again next time. Please forgive me."

With a slightly cold expression on his face, Bismarck bent down to tidy up Adalbert's messy silver hair, and said gently: "As a companion, I can forgive you, but as an iron-blooded leader, if I let you go so easily, everyone will be dissatisfied."

If we were to say who was the most angry with Prince Adalbert, it would be Frederick the Great. After she was taken away by New Jersey and others yesterday, she conducted a missile exercise on the sea.

To put it nicely, it's one against four, showing the power of the Iron Blood's highest combat force.

To put it bluntly, he was beaten unilaterally. When he came back this morning, his ship equipment was badly damaged and his face was as gloomy as if he wanted to eat someone.

Everyone knew that Aldabert's secret communication with St. Louis saved the Iron Blood to some extent, and her merits outweighed her faults. But the organization decided to find someone to take the blame, and she violated the Iron Blood's rules, so she could only bear everything with tears.

Hearing this, Adalbert was stunned and silent for a while, then he said, "I have admitted my crime and confiscated the red tip. What else do you want me to do?"

Bismarck said: "It's simple. Just conduct an exercise with Frederick the Great."

"You want me to die? I won't do it!" With his eyes wide open, Prince Adalbert tried hard to break free from the rope and escape, but was held by Prince Eugen's shoulder.

Exercising with Frederick the Great who was in a bad mood, what a joke, she was just a heavy cruiser. Exercising with the battleship Ceiling who was in an extremely bad mood, this was fatal.

"Don't worry, she didn't hit him too hard. He will have to stay in bed for half a month at most."

"I......"

Prince Albert opened his mouth but was unable to utter the following words. He fell silent again, as if feeling sad about the miserable fate he was about to face.

The video had been clearly cleared to cover up any traces, so why was it still discovered by Bismarck?

Damn it! Who betrayed me?

......

And the other side.

Xia Bai and others have returned to the White Eagle Dormitory.

Originally, he was a little worried about whether he would be discovered if he wandered around the port like this, but it turned out that Xia Bai was overthinking. When night fell, the entire port was left with only loneliness and tranquility, and not even a single ship girl could be seen.

He thought that the port area would be more lively at night, with ship girls from different camps gathering in groups of three or four, simply chatting or taking a walk, or going to the sports field built in Akashi to sweat.

But reality slapped Xia Bai mercilessly, making him even more convinced that he was an incompetent commander.

Lang Fanyun did not care about the ship girl's emotions and almost chose the wrong path. The same was true for Xia Bai.

If he had worked a little harder in the three months after the end of Die Hai Meng Hua and fulfilled his responsibilities as a commander, the port area would not be as lifeless as it is now, and everyone would not be huddled in their own faction residential areas, playing by themselves.

Noticing that Xia Bai was in a bad mood, St. Louis thought for a moment and comforted him softly, "Commander, don't think too much. It's not entirely your fault that the port area is like this."

Waving his hands, Xia Bai said: "Don't comfort me, this is my fault. Even though part of it is because the port area has not been completely repaired, it is ultimately because I, the commander, did not do a good job."

"Knowing shame leads to courage. What happened in the past few days has made me realize my mistakes. From now on, I will be a competent commander and cannot be lazy anymore."

Seeing Xia Bai's fighting spirit not matching his size, St. Louis smiled, patted his head, and said, "Then Commander, you have to work harder tomorrow. Don't let Akagi and the others overpower you just because you've become smaller."

Xia Bai nodded and said, "Of course. I always keep my word in front of Chicheng. Although I don't seem to have the authority of a commander, it actually comes in handy."

"Commander, it's good to have confidence... By the way, are you sure you don't want to sleep at my place tonight? I've prepared a lot of goodies~"

With a sweet tone and seductive eyes, St. Louis stretched his waist, showing off his proud figure, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and skin as white as jade.

This is a temptation that cannot be made explicit any more.

Swallowing his saliva, Xia Bai forced himself to look away and said stubbornly, "I have the will but not the strength. You will be in trouble when I change back."

After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, leaving St. Louis laughing so hard. She had bullied Xia Bai badly yesterday.

Xia Bai quickly ran to Essex's room, closed the door, covered his chest, and cursed himself for not being able to resist the temptation. He almost agreed to the enchantress St. Louis.

It’s okay to lose once, but the big devil can’t afford to lose a second time. Just wait and see, in a few days, St. Louis will cry and apologize to him.

Thinking viciously about the means of revenge, Xia Bai walked into the living room. When he looked up, he found that in addition to Essex, there were two uninvited guests sitting on the sofa. His face turned pale instantly.

"You, you...why are you here?" Xia Bai pointed at Zeppelin and RX-03 tremblingly, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Picking her nails, RX-03 looked up at Xia Bai and said calmly, "We are not the White Eagle Ship Girls and have no place to live. As long as Essex agrees, it's nothing strange for us to appear here."

"Don't worry, we're just sleeping with you like we did yesterday, and we won't do anything. Besides, Essex himself doesn't have the weird ideas like St. Louis."

Essex complied appropriately: "Well, I just took in the commander, and I didn't have any other plans."

Hearing this, Xia Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then asked uncertainly: "Really? Don't lie to me."

"Hehehe..." RX-03 let out a long and meaningful laugh.

“This should be true.”

RX-03 did not answer, but showed his unique signature smile on his face.

Xia Bai: “…”

Chapter 62 Night Talk

That night.

The bedroom seemed particularly quiet. The curtains swayed slightly in the sea breeze, and the bright moonlight shone through the window onto Xia Bai's face.

Grabbing the quilt tightly, Xia Bai stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. The soft breathing sounds coming from both sides and the elegant fragrance made his body stiff and unable to fall asleep.

First of all, I have to make it clear that even after his body became smaller, he was still a normal man. It would be abnormal for him not to feel any ripples in his heart when a beautiful woman was sleeping beside him without any defense.

Especially when he could see the whiteness on Zeppelin's chest by turning his head, and the delicate face of RX-03 by the other side, Xia Bai couldn't help but exclaim that he couldn't bear it.

So why did Essex let these two guys in? Jiaozi should be a serious ship girl, but she threw herself on the bed and was attacked from both sides, while she slept on the floor.

That's not what I said this morning.

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, Xia Bai heard the cold voice of Zeppelin on the left.

Without shifting his gaze to the ceiling, Xia Bai replied calmly, "I was wondering why you two had to sleep with me."

"Zeppelin, have you noticed that your behavior is somewhat out of character? How can you sleep in bed with a man like this? You are not ashamed."

To this day, Xia Bai still doesn't understand what's in Zeppelin's little head, nor does he understand why she followed St. Louis to White Eagle.

It's hard to guess who the ship girl is because she suffers from severe chuunibyou.

"Ashamed? This should be an emotion between shyness and embarrassment. Haha, I don't feel ashamed of my behavior."

Speaking softly, Qi Peilin stared at Xia Bai's profile carefully, feeling a little worried.

"You proved that my wishes and ideals were wrong, and denied my existence as a 'God Slayer'... and now, you have become my commander."

"What do you want to express? Are you resentful that I shouldn't bring change to the world?"

"No, I just want to say..." After a pause, Zeppelin covered his chest, feeling his heartbeat, and said very seriously, "I will accompany you to witness the end of the world and go to the end of hell together."

"That's it..."

Turning around, Xia Bai looked at Zeppelin. Tonight, the middle school girl with a second-year syndrome was wearing a thin black gauze pajamas. Her silver-white hair was hammered on the pillow, and her skin was soft and smooth. Under the double cover of the gauze and moonlight, she felt a different kind of tranquility than before.

Compared to Zeppelin, whose eyes were often filled with madness and hatred, Xia Bai believed that this was the real her.

"When Bismarck decided to lead the Iron Blood to follow me, it was already a certainty... Similarly, since I have assumed this responsibility, I will never lead you to the end."

After hearing this, Count Zeppelin was silent for a while, then reached out and pulled Xia Bai into his arms, pressing his head against his chest.

The unique fragrance hit him in the face, and the soft touch made Xia Bai breathless. He said in panic: "What are you doing?"

Patting Xia Bai's back gently, Zeppelin said softly: "Struggle hard in this world. I am looking forward to your performance."

"Goodnight, Commander."

While holding Xia Bai, Qi Peilin closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became steady, and he fell asleep.

Looking at the other person's peaceful sleeping face, Xia Bai suddenly found that he didn't know where to put his hands.

First of all, Xia Bai was not greedy for Qi Peilin's body, although the other person's body was fragrant and soft, it must be very comfortable to hug him.

But if I hug her, it will seem too frivolous. Zeppelin and I don't have that kind of relationship. It won't be good to put my hands anywhere with such a hot body.

If he didn’t hug her, Xia Bai would feel like he was being too pretentious. Maybe Qi Penglin himself didn’t mind.

Thinking of RX-03 by his side, Xia Bai gave up the idea of ​​hugging Zeppelin to sleep, carefully moved her hands away, slowly got out of bed, ran to lie down next to Essex who was sleeping on the floor.

Perhaps because of the loud noise, Essex suddenly opened his eyes, and after finding that it was Xia Bai, he said helplessly: "Commander, can't you sleep? Why did you come to me?"

Xia Bai chuckled, pressed himself against Essex's body, and pretended to complain, "It's all because of you that I couldn't sleep because you let them in."

"You had a fight with 03 the day before yesterday, and you let her in again tonight. I really don't understand what you are thinking, Essex."

Rubbing Xia Bai's head, Essex said softly with a dazed look in his eyes: "I quarreled with her only because I was angry for a moment. Sometimes reason cannot dominate emotions."

"Just like me before, I wanted to have a good talk with you, but I was timid and didn't dare to get close... Even now I still find it incredible. Ah Bai, have you really forgiven me?"

"Or maybe this is just my imagination, and when I wake up tomorrow, I will be that strange person again."

Reaching out his hand and caressing Essex's delicate cheek, Xia Bai said softly: "Everything is true. I have never resented you, or even the company."

"Then why does Ah Bai target her everywhere?"

Essex was very puzzled. Since there was no resentment, why did Xia Bai attribute the reason for the establishment of the Red Axis to the enterprises in the form of an announcement, and the key enterprises were happy to take the blame.

Could it be that what North Carolina said to him in the afternoon was true, and the two of them were actually showing off their love in this way?

Why does the senior in the company care so much about the relationship between himself and Xia Bai? It is not just because of the guilt about the V plan, but because she has let him down in private?

Thinking of this, Essex bit her lips lightly and asked tentatively, "What does Bai think of the seniors in the company?"

“What do you think of the business?”

Although he was a little confused about why Essex asked this, Xia Bai thought for a while and answered seriously: "From a personal point of view, I actually admire her very much. She is smart and decisive, rigorous and humane."

"She chose to change when the war was at its most critical. She knew the inhumanity of the V plan but still chose to support Edward. From that time on, she should have been prepared to bear all of this."

Compared with the companies in this world, Xia Bai cares more about the companies in the Embers World, the world where Bai Ye was born. The other party is really in trouble. She is even one of the culprits who turned 'Xia Bai' into 'Bai Ye'.

"Does Abai have other feelings towards the company...like me?" Essex asked nervously.

Hearing this, Xia Bai flicked Jiaozi's head and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? How could I have such feelings for her?"

Essex breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Bai didn't seem to be hiding anything.

If these two people really had a relationship, she would not know how to deal with it. One is the commander she has always liked, and the other is the senior she has admired for a long time.

After talking about the business, the two talked for a while and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Chapter 63: Reorganizing the atmosphere, starting with Atago!

March 11th, sunny.

Early in the morning, all the ship girls in the port area received the news from St. Louis and hurried to the castle tower.

This is also the busiest time in the port area in the past three months.

Along the way, the ship girls from all sides greeted each other and asked each other about the purpose of the "missing" Xia Bai summoning everyone to the castle tower, but apart from the news that Xia Bai was originally with the White Eagle, they knew nothing.

"Akagi-senpai! Kaga-senpai! Wait for me."

In the corridor of the castle tower, Shokaku, with a smile on his face, stopped in front of Akagi and Kaga.

With his hands folded in front of his chest, Akagi said rudely: "I thought it was some rude pest shouting in the castle tower, but it turned out to be you, a stupid crane."

Glancing at Sheffield beside Shokaku, Akagi continued, "If you're here to show off that you got the 'trump card', I advise you to put aside such unpresentable thoughts."

"Sheffield is indeed important, but she alone cannot push you to the position of secretary ship."

Sheffield bowed slightly and said politely, "Miss Akagi, you are joking. Sheffield is just a maid and has no importance."

Glancing at Sheffield and Shokaku fiercely, Akagi snorted coldly and strode into the hall. You are being so Versailles in front of me, right? Wait until the wedding that my dear has prepared comes down, and I'll see how you act.

"Ahahaha, it seems like Senior Akagi has a big prejudice against us. I wanted to ask her if she has any exclusive news." Shokaku laughed secretly with his hands covering his mouth as he watched Akagi leave.

Don't you know why Akagi is so hostile to us, Shokaku? If you had been less provocative, this wouldn't have happened.

Secretly complaining about Shokaku's personality, Sheffield said expressionlessly: "How is the Sabre Team? I alone don't have enough say."

"I heard that Miss Akagi has contacted many Iron-Blooded Ship Girls in addition to the original 'rebels'. You don't want her to take the position of secretary ship, do you, Shokaku?"

Upon hearing this, Xianghe frowned, put his white jade hand on his chin, and said awkwardly: "They haven't made up their minds yet, but from the current point of view, the probability of them choosing me is greater than that of other wedding ships..."

Before he could finish his words, Shokaku saw Lexington and Saratoga coming towards him, and his face became very gloomy.

Because there is a group of swordsmen following behind them, the meaning of this is self-evident.

As soon as they met, Lexington's face was filled with smiles, and he said enthusiastically: "Hey, isn't this Shokaku? Did you also come to the castle tower after receiving the message from St. Louis?"

Just as Akagi easily saw through his own show-off, Shokaku also saw through the purpose of Lexington's greeting to him.
