I, Azure Commander!

After all, no one wants to "gaze lovingly" at a dead salted fish while eating.

After a simple breakfast, the Commander's day began again...

Chapter 102: Restlessness Beyond Calmness

This year is basically over.

Although everyone is still on vacation and everyone is still at home doing nothing, the festive atmosphere has basically dissipated and life has slowly returned to normal.

Peter Strasser started working again. Lin Xiao happened to meet her on her way home from work when she was out shopping with her children. Although she was the director of the Maritime Bureau, she didn't seem to like driving very much. As a ship girl, and a very well-known one, it was not convenient for her to take the bus, so she usually took a taxi to and from get off work. The taxi drivers in this area basically knew her, so they cleaned their cars every day, for fear that they would be stopped by her one day and the car would be dirty or have a strange smell like smoke, and the service would not be thoughtful.

It’s not that Peter would complain about them because she is not that strict and doesn’t have that much free time. It’s just that as the director of the Maritime Bureau, she is still very respected by the people.

The commanders were the same. Although everyone would always stop and look at them, and chat with their companions, in fact, in addition to envy, they also had a certain amount of admiration and respect.

After all, he is the "hero" who enables them to live a stable life. If they still have a conscience, they should be grateful.

Everyone knows that the commander's life may seem glamorous on the surface, but in reality it is quite difficult...

Of course, people like Lin Xiao are definitely an outlier among outliers. Whenever he goes out for a walk, there are maids following him, as if they are afraid that he will fall or be hit by a car.

In fact, with Lin Xiao's current physical condition, if he really got knocked down, he should probably consider whether it was his fault. If it wasn't, that would be great, as the other party had brought it upon themselves. If it was his fault, then he should think about how much compensation he should give to the other party...

Anyway, it will definitely not be lighter than hitting Yudachi. Conservatively speaking, the front of the car will be dented, but Lin Xiao will be fine, at most he will feel a little pain.

Feeling yourself slowly transforming from a human to a non-human must be a rather novel experience, right?

Of course, for Lin, who is not serious at all, what he cares about most now is probably how many more ship girls he has to find before he can beat the authentic ship girls in a fight.

Considering that it is almost impossible for a man to be a match for a woman with the same physique, this problem may take a long time to be solved - in short: the day of turning things around is a long way off.

By the way, because the New Year is over, Yuudachi has started to accept punishment. Now every day he can't eat a single bite of meat even though he looks at the table. He feels very uncomfortable. However, under the supervision of adults, he still has to eat obediently. He has to eat carrots and green peppers that he doesn't like and he can't be picky.

Although the KanColle will not be malnourished, the rules still have to be followed and being picky about food is not a good habit.

Naturally, Lin fully supports this, even though he himself never eats green peppers and carrots, and no ship girl can control him. She is even afraid that her favorability will drop, so she never puts these in his bowl when picking up food.

Of course, it is okay not to eat these things. Girls will always find ways to make up for the missing nutrients in other ways, such as serving a fruit plate during afternoon tea, or cooking some other vegetables he likes.

As for Yudachi... if a child doesn't like to eat something, she is just picky. She has to eat even if she doesn't like it. Who cares whether she can make a substitution or not...

Maybe this is the difference in treatment. The little fox is kind-hearted and cares more about his nominal "sister". He always secretly adds a little broth to her rice to make it taste better.

After a few more days, life was back on track. Several children in the family who were still in school had to go back to school, including several instructors. Although they could slack off occasionally, they had to go to the Naval Academy to teach most of the time. This was undoubtedly a big challenge for Rafi, who loved to sleep, so after considering it again and again, she finally went to Wales to quit her job after obtaining Lin Xiao's consent. From then on, she slept until she woke up naturally every day, and Benson would naturally bring her a portion of breakfast and put it next to the bed, and she would eat it herself when she got up.

However, just a few days later, Wales could not help but come to visit on his own initiative, saying that the academy was really short of staff. Although they were trying hard to recruit people, there was still a large vacancy for the instructor position. He asked Lin Xiao if he could find another ship girl from their port area to be a destroyer instructor.

Lin Xiao thought for a long time. Among the destroyers in his family, it seemed that Jiang Feng was the only one with high training level and was relatively reliable. However, this girl liked to be quiet and alone, and obviously was not the type to get up early to go to work. There was really no other candidate. Wales almost kowtowed to him and begged him. Besides, this matter was related to the education of their own ship girls. Shimakaze had also said several times that their destroyers often had no instructors to teach them.

So, he paid a heavy price and finally persuaded the little fox to replace the slacking Lafite and take over the class temporarily for a period of time.

I hope the Naval Academy can find a new instructor soon...

Lin Xiao counted on his fingers, feeling miserable. He had to use up one of his only two days off a week!

The girls who have already been promoted seem to know that as more and more wedding ships come back, and new wedding ships may be born at any time, everyone will gradually find opportunities to be promoted. When more people are promoted, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities in the future. So they have to take advantage of the few people now and grab as much "wool" as possible first...

This incident can only be regarded as a small episode in the peaceful days and does not affect Mr. Lin's daily leisurely life. After some children went to school, the lives of the remaining children were gradually planned by Tiancheng and other older girls. He had more time and was free to start tinkering with his novel.

Of course, in addition to this, studying is also essential. A semester has passed, but he has not forgotten that he has to finish all the subjects in a year. For the subjects that he does not know or does not understand very well, he must at least find a way to pass them. Therefore, during this period of time, studying for a while every day is also an essential daily routine.

However, such peace obviously could not last forever. Just when Lin Xiao was idle every day, a terrifying news began to spread quickly on the front line of Azur Lane.

——The real high-level Siren leaders, the high-level Siren ship girls that they still knew very little about so far, finally appeared in their field of vision again after a long period of silence.

As the title says, there are only five chapters left, so I'm opening a new bounty. Without further ado, let me get straight to the rules.

Monthly ticket: 60 tickets per update

Recommendation tickets: 1500 tickets per update

Blade: 40 pieces per update

Reward: 6000 per update

Finally, it is still the most cost-effective and most desired but impossible gold treasure box, which is directly counted as 40 chapters, which is almost % off

The duration starts from the release of the chapter and ends at 2:23 on the 59nd of next month. That is to say, if you use up the monthly ticket blades this month, you can throw them away next month, which is totally in time.

This is a very conscientious rule for adding more chapters. The number of chapters added for recommendation votes is already small, and adding more chapters for 1500 votes is purely for charity. I hope everyone can give more support.

By the way, the reward is still unlimited. In addition, the typing software I usually use needs maintenance and updates tonight, so there may not be four updates, but there should be at least three chapters. I will continue with four updates tomorrow. That’s it, I’ll get back to typing.

Current data (as of this chapter):

Chapter 103: The Troubles of the Frontline Commander

The front line is where the battles in the entire Azur Lane occur most frequently and are the most tense. Here, the Siren troops may invade every two or three days. It can be said that there is a small battle every three days and a big battle every five days. The fighting has been going on and has never stopped.

However, the veteran shipgirls who had participated in the decisive battle with the Sirens and opened up the Azur Lane knew very well that even a battle like the one on the front line was just child's play. The invading Sirens were mass-produced warships with little combat power. The Sirens obviously had no real intention of invading. For them, who had a vast sea area and abundant resources, they could have as many mass-produced Sirens as they wanted. It was not a loss at all. They were simply sent here to annoy them...

Therefore, daily battles are basically carried out by some newly born juniors, led by some experienced seniors, which can be regarded as training newcomers.

This situation has been going on for a long time... Since the end of the war decades ago, it has basically been like this. In the past, we would always be on guard against the Sirens launching another fierce attack or making some small moves such as sneak attacks. As time went by, we gradually relaxed. It is called the front line, but in fact it is just a large-scale training ground. It is not as cruel as a real war. Few ship girls are injured, and almost no ship girls sink...

But recently, this relative calm seems to be broken.

"Is this all the information we know now?"

The ship girl sitting on the main seat rubbed her brows. It seems that this position is not as good as she imagined. Trouble is coming...

"Yes, the current intelligence is still very limited. What we can confirm is that the mysterious figure that suddenly appeared behind the Siren army recently was identified as a high-level Siren combat humanoid with a higher mind. However, based on the current information, we cannot determine her specific identity or her purpose... However, at least up to now, she does not seem to have taken any measures, and the daily battles have not changed at all because of her appearance."

"That's not bad. Of course, we must not take it lightly. We must be cautious in the recent attacks and let a few experienced veterans lead the team. If anything abnormal happens, don't hesitate, retreat immediately!"

"Understood. Apart from this, are there any other measures that need to be taken?"

The ship girl who was speaking adjusted her glasses and looked at the old friend in front of her.

"Not for now..."

After a slight hesitation, the commander-in-chief of the front line who had just taken office shook his head and said, "The current situation is still unclear. Besides, the current combat capability of the front line is not enough to support a full-scale war with the Sirens. For the time being, we should try our best to avoid provoking the other side and strive for stability."

"it is good."

After recording the key information, the bespectacled shipgirl was about to turn around and leave. She had just taken two steps when she suddenly stopped, turned around, pursed her lips, and said, "About the commander..."

The ship girl sitting in the main seat was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then showed a look of nostalgia.

When the commander left, she had actually just joined not long ago. However, because her ship equipment was excellent enough and she seemed to be liked by the commander in appearance, she received the highest level of treatment. Her training level increased rapidly like a rocket, and she successfully obtained the ring that all ship girls dream of.

But not long after that, the commander suddenly disappeared...

There was no sign, and no one knew where he went. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air. At that time, many pessimistic ship girls speculated that their commander might have a terminal illness. He didn't want to tell them and make them sad, nor did he want to leave in front of them. He was worried that some ship girls might be unable to get over it, so he chose to leave quietly. And if the truth is indeed like this...

Maybe he is no longer alive now?

Thinking of this, her nose couldn't help but feel a little sore, but this was ultimately just an uncertain possibility. Maybe the commander was simply too tired and wanted to rest for a while, or maybe he really encountered something that had to be resolved as soon as possible. In short, before the commander's death was confirmed, she would never accept any statement that the commander was dead.

And on the premise of being sure that he was not dead, the most important thing was naturally to find him as soon as possible. I originally thought of solving the problem of food, finding a job and then looking for the commander, but by accident, I ended up in this position.

A bitter smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth. She always felt that her personality had become a little different since the commander left...

A little more mature, but more importantly, he has become much more melancholy and dull.

It's not just her, the companions in front of her are the same. Without their commander, the port's soul was lost, and the port fell apart. Now they are wandering outside without even a home. It is only natural that they would become like this, right?

The more you encounter these troubles, the more you will recall the past, and the more you will miss the warm and happy life in the past.

Although she was one of the main forces in the port area, she seemed to be quite busy at the beginning, often having to go out on the offensive, attacking and training newcomers. Even so, she still missed that kind of busyness, rather than the loneliness now...

Commander, oh Commander, when can you come back?

The two of them were lost in their memories. After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly, "We can only wait for now. We took this position in a daze, and we can't not take responsibility. If the commander is still here... I mean, if the commander comes back, he doesn't want us to make any mistakes in looking for him, which will cause problems on the front line, right?"

"That's right..." The ship girl with glasses took off her glasses and rubbed her dry eyes. "There should be many other ship girls in the port area looking for the commander. Believe them. Maybe... someone has already found the commander and started to reorganize and develop the port area..."

"I hope so."

Although saying this is more of a psychological comfort to herself. In fact, all the ship girls think this way, but most of the more rational ship girls actually know... How important could it be for a commander to suddenly leave the port without a word and never come back?

The greater possibility is the worst outcome...

Chapter 104: Communication with Yuhu

Everything that happened on the front line is still unclear, and these things will not affect the rear for the time being, let alone spread the news, so all this has nothing to do with Lin Xiao. At least for the time being, he still lives his own easy and comfortable life. Except for occasionally studying, writing novels, and handing in homework, the rest of the time he has been doing nothing, either finding a little loli to tease, and sometimes harassing Noshiro.

Poor Nengdai, this girl has to worry about the port area all day long, and she has to be bothered by this guy from time to time. When she is thinking about something, he will come up to her, play with her hair, or put his arm around her waist, and kiss her on the face with a smile. If she really can't stand it, there is no one in the office anyway, so she can catch him on the spot and teach him a lesson. He will be quiet for two days, and after two days, the wound will heal and she will forget the pain. If he comes to make trouble again, she will give him a good beating again.

What a commander... He is really becoming more and more like a child. Is it just as Sheffield said? Has he been spoiled by them?

But in fact, even if Sheffield herself said such words, wasn't she also constantly encouraging the commander's "arrogance"?

But there was nothing that could be done about it, because he was the commander. If he didn't pamper him, would he be pissed off and leave?

In addition to living a stable life, Lin Xiao certainly did not forget to continue paying attention to possible news related to his own ship girl. He has been keeping abreast of and recording major events around the world, and has found a lot of suspected possible news. As a result, most of them were confirmed with Peter Strasser, and they were either false news, strange rumors that came from nowhere, or exaggerated, and were some kind of propaganda method of the local government.

In the end, the only definite clue was the news from Area G... That was the hometown of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls, in a remote town in Area G. It was said that a large group of Ship Girls opened a beer shop there, selling roasted pork elbows and various Iron-Blooded pork delicacies.

The people of Iron Blood seem to have a special fondness for pork and love to eat pork. In addition, it is also the largest beer producer and there are many beer manufacturers in the country... From this point of view, if those ship girls are really their own girls, I don’t know if they can do business well.

Well, considering the gimmick of a ship girl opening a store, the problem should not be too big. However, because it is a store opened by a ship girl, there will probably be a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the girls of Iron Blood are very good at "reasoning". They and the ship girl Lin Xiao of the Northern Alliance are not worried. Even if they are alone, they can live a good life.

As for the reason why Lin Xiao was sure that the news was most likely about their girl, it was that the proprietress was said to be a white-haired big sister with a clever and changeable personality. With this description, Lin Xiao immediately searched for the corresponding ship girl in his mind. In addition, the one who opened the store was not just her, but a "group". According to rumors, there were at least seven or eight iron-blooded ship girls. With such a number of ship girls from the same camp getting together to open a store, the possibility was quite high.

As expected, isn't she? She has great ambitions, and she even opened a shop... Think about the previous scumbag maids, and St. Louis... Is he the only useless person in the port area?

Lin Xiao was suddenly shocked to realize this fact that he should have noticed long ago.

In short, in a small town in the southern part of Area G, Lin Xiao solemnly recorded the news in his notebook. When he goes to Area E later, maybe he can stop by there for a visit. However, if he does so, the trip will probably be extended. It will take at least three or four months to come back.

Even so, he still wanted to go. No matter what, getting all the ship girls back home was the most important job that Lin Xiao should complete.

However, due to many inconveniences in reality, I don’t even have a proper place to stay for the time being. No matter what, I still have to wait until I officially get the port area and commander’s certificate before I can set off.

It’s almost time. It’s already February. Calculating the time, it will be almost time in another three or four months…

Lin Xiao thought to himself that he could find some free time to go and see the new port area under construction. On the one hand, he could explore the route and see the specific location of the port area and some basic conditions around it. On the other hand, he could also observe how the port area was being built and examine some details of the port area under construction. If he found any problems, he could also put forward his opinions in a timely manner.

Lin Xiao thought about it and decided to go in half a month, and he had already decided on the person to accompany him.

The wallet and the big boss Aunt Sheng must be brought along. If Aunt Sheng is brought along, Hai Ma must also be brought along. Then there is the maid Sheffield and the reliable Tian Cheng, plus the little fox Jiang Feng. My wife is also interested in the New Port District, so we can bring her along as well...

By the way, Mutsu seems to be a bit naughty recently, asking questions everywhere and disturbing others often. When the school is built, I will make sure to let her attend math classes so that she can ask enough questions.

I closed the notebook in my hand, walked down the stairs, and when I got out of the unit, I saw a little white fox lying on the grass basking in the sun, looking too lazy to move.

It's Nagato's fox...

Speaking of which, Lin Xiao was really curious. How did the animal ship suits of the ship girls feel about the commander? In their minds, what was the position of their master's commander? And... what was the IQ of these animal ship suits? Could they understand human language?

Thinking about these things, Lin Xiao slowly approached the fox that was napping on the grass, picked up a branch and poked the fox's little paw.

It seemed that because he was often pranked by children like this, the fox didn't even open his eyes. He just yawned lazily and gently slapped the branches away with his claws, as if to say "stop making trouble".

But Lin Xiao is not a child, and even if he were a child he would not be obedient. He continued to poke the cute little paws with the branch, causing Yu Hu to finally open his eyes impatiently, and looked up at the mischievous "child" with helplessness.

This was a big deal if he didn't look at it. As soon as he saw it, he got angry. The little fox jumped up, and his impatient look instantly changed. He wagged his tail and walked forward to rub Lin Xiao's trouser leg, looking like he was trying to be courteous.

Lin Xiao picked up the little white fox with some amusement and looked at it curiously. It seemed that the little fox was very smart - at least it recognized him and knew that he was the boss of the port area.

Chapter 105: Bumblebee for Blame

Lin Xiao looked at the little fox that was blinking its eyes and acting cute, his curiosity still undiminished, and began to try to communicate with it.

"So, can you understand what I'm saying?"

The little fox was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head.

Although it seemed a little confusing, Lin Xiao, who had rich experience in dealing with foxes, quickly understood what it meant - he understood, but not completely, only a little.

Lin Xiao's interest suddenly grew. It didn't matter how much you knew, as long as you knew it, that was all that mattered...

So someone immediately asked the second question: "So will you change?"

Yu Hu tilted his head and looked at him with some confusion, with the corner of his mouth pulled to one side, as if to say: "You are so weird!"
