I, Azure Commander!

"Can it be changed?"

Yu Hu looked around and shook his head. Would it really not cause any commotion if he changed in public?

Lin Xiao stroked his chin and quickly understood what it meant. He clapped his hands, picked up the little royal fox, held it up, and came to the garage.

"Okay, can we change now?"

"..."

Yu Hu's face was full of helplessness. What kind of person is this? How could he annoy the fox more than a child?

It really just wants to take a nap in the sun. Is it that difficult?

Helplessly, it knew clearly that it could not afford to offend the guy in front of it. If he was unhappy, he might not do anything to itself, but its owner would definitely hit its head crooked.

Are you kidding me? I worked so hard to improve the commander's favorability, but you, a fox, ruined it? I'll break my legs!

So, in the end, it shook its body obediently, and suddenly became bigger, more than one meter high and three or four meters long, looking both cute and majestic.

It would be really exciting to take a ride on a big fox like this, right?

However, Lin Xiao was obviously not satisfied with this result, so he looked at the innocent-looking Yu Hu and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I know you can grow bigger, but what I meant is, can you become a beautiful girl like Nagato or Jiang Feng?"

"???"

I think you are trying to make things difficult for me, Fox?

Yu Hu was shocked when he heard this. "I can turn into a beautiful girl? I'll turn into your grandma!"

Don't you have enough beautiful girls with animal ears around you? Why do you want to harm a poor and innocent little fox like me?

"Can I change? I can grow bigger, so it should be easy to change into a beautiful girl, right? Change for me now!"

Yuhu shrunk again and lay on the ground, rolling his eyes. He was too lazy to pay attention to him. He couldn't transform, and he couldn't transform even if he was beaten to death. Whatever happens, it wants to take a nap...

"Well, it seems that this cannot be changed."

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly and sighed with some disappointment.

Well, he finally understood...

The little fox breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't expect to feel himself flying in the air again the next moment. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the guy was holding a rein in his hand, tied around his neck.

"In that case, let me take you for a walk. Usually, no one walks you, right?"

"???"

Yuhu wanted to pounce on this person's face and give him a couple of claws. What the hell is this? It's a fox, and a ship-style fox, not a dog, okay? And even if it needs a walk, it can go by itself later. It's bedtime now, you want to take a fox for a walk?

If he could speak, Yu Hu would really like to say, "Although I am not a human, you are a real dog!"

It finally understood that this person was simply idle, bored, and didn't want to do any real work, so he came here to cause trouble for it.

"Okay, let's go. You don't have to look at me like that. Helping others has always been my strength. Even if you are a ship-mounted fox, you are still a member of the port area. Don't worry, as the commander, I will take good care of you."

Well, I really want to thank you...

Yu Hu rolled his eyes again. He was extremely unwilling in his heart. He really wanted to lie down and have a good rest. However, fate was strangling him, and he could only be dragged and started walking very reluctantly.

When he went out, he saw several little girls playing wildly in the community yard, mainly concentrated around the fitness equipment. Lin Xiao walked over with Yu Hu and picked up a little girl who was about to jump up to pull on the horizontal bar. He turned over and saw that it was Hobi.

"commander?"

The little girl looked at him with some confusion, but the feeling of being held by the commander was obviously good, and she subconsciously moved closer to Lin Xiao's arms.

"Nothing, just a reminder. You can play here, but be careful and pay attention to safety. Don't bend the horizontal bar."

Seeing the girl's condition just now, Lin Xiao was really afraid that she would jump up with such force that the horizontal bar would break.

"Don't worry, Commander. We have Sister Bumblebee watching over us..."

The children pointed in a certain direction, and Lin Xiao looked over there. Sure enough, he found Bumblebee lying on a park bench with a book covering his face, looking like a dried salted fish.

"You guys won't break things when Bumblebee's around?"

"No...but with her here, if we break something, she can take the blame and get scolded by her sister in York City."

"..."

Lin Xiao half opened his mouth. Are all the kids nowadays so smart? They're all looking for a scapegoat...

Fortunately, he passed by and stopped the naughty kid, otherwise poor Bumblebee would have known nothing and would have been lying on the chair taking a nap, and then all the blame would have been put on him.

"You can't bully Sister Bumblebee like this, understand?"

After tapping the clever kid's head gently, Lin Xiao gathered the children together again and told them to be careful when playing, not to damage the equipment, and not to hit the trees or hurt people.

The commander's words were effective. The children were listening attentively and taking careful notes... Well, they would remember them for at least one afternoon, as they would have forgotten them completely by tomorrow.

Lin Xiao became more determined to put all the naughty children into school, and he would let those strict older sister ship girls be the teachers. There would be exams at the midterm and final exams, and if the exams failed, the parents would be called - of course, this refers to the sisters or other guardians of these naughty children. For example, if little Jia Jia failed the exam, Lexington would be called, and if Hobby failed the exam, Benson would be called.

Of course, Benson and the little fox Jiang Feng, including girls like Fletcher, although they are destroyers but mentally mature adults, they don’t have to go to school. By the same token, guys like Xiao Jia Jia, who is an aircraft carrier but can be squeezed into a pile of destroyers and there is no difference in appearance or mentality, have to go to school and take exams.

If you are naughty in school, you will have to spank your palms and buttocks. Of course, such a difficult task has to be done by him, the principal himself...

Chapter 28: Z's Forced Smile

About half a month after the Spring Festival, Lin Xiao was finally ready to set off to see the port area under construction.

However, before that, there is one very important thing...

Before, when I tricked Director Peter Strasser into coming here to discuss things, I had promised her that I would let my wife rehearse with her. However, the Chinese New Year had just passed, and everyone was still busy, especially Peter. The Maritime Administration had a backlog of affairs for several days, so she had to work overtime until eight or nine in the evening every day. She was really too busy, so there was no chance.

But things are different now. After so many days, the work at the Maritime Administration has been almost done, and Lin Xiao has nothing to do all day. Before leaving, Lin Xiao thought about fulfilling this promise as well.

Since Director Peter is so curious about the colorful boats, let her see for herself how powerful the colorful boats are...

So, on the morning of that day, Lin Xiao brought my wife to the gate of the Maritime Administration of Lombardy City again. The little girl Z28 who was in charge of guarding the gate was working hard as usual. If the children at home could be so worry-free, Lin Xiao and the other girls would not have to worry so much all day long.

"Oh, it's Commander Lin Xiao!"

When Z28 saw Lin Xiao, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was obviously shocked, but the light in his eyes quickly dimmed. He asked calmly but a little nervously, "Are you here to see the director?"

Lin Xiao looked at the cute little girl, and somehow, he suddenly wanted to tease her, so he pretended to think for a second, then nodded, and then shook his head.

"Yes and no."

"Eh?"

How could a simple girl like Z28 understand Lin Xiao's tricks? She was immediately confused.

"Yes and no...what does that mean?"

"That is to say, I did come to Peter for something, but besides that, I also have other purposes."

"Is that so... Then please do your best."

"..."

Lin Xiao was confused. "Normally, shouldn't you be curious and ask me what my purpose is?"

"Is...is that so?"

Z28 thought about it carefully and nodded, "It seems so, but..."

The cute little girl lowered her head, pursed her lips, and intertwined two fingers back and forth.

Of course she was curious, but she also felt that what Commander Lin Xiao was talking about must be very important and remarkable. If she asked rashly, it might cause trouble for him, right?

So after thinking about it, I simply suppressed my curiosity and didn't ask.

"Then... Commander Lin Xiao, is there anything important that you need to do here?"

The little girl hesitated for a while, and as if she had finally mustered up the courage, she put aside all her hesitation and asked timidly.

"Important things... yes, of course there are, and they are very, very important!"

Lin Xiao spoke in such a serious tone that the little girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva subconsciously. She felt as if she was about to know some incredible secret.

"So, what is the important thing?"

Seeing the little girl in front of him completely fall for it, Lin Xiao finally revealed a boundless smile and said, "Of course, this matter is to see our lovely Z28~"

"Eh?"

The little girl froze in place, staring at Lin Xiao with a dull expression, as if time had stopped. Ten full seconds later, she finally responded, and then let out another scream that shook the sky.

“Eh——!!!??!”

This sound frightened Lin Xiao, the instigator, and he looked at the girl in surprise, "Even if I was wrong and shouldn't have joked with you, there's no need to be so surprised, right?"

Azuma, who was standing by, slapped herself in the face. The commander's mysterious operation began. To be honest, with her commander's low EQ, how did he manage to seduce so many ship girls?

"That... was a joke. That's right. Haha, sorry, I was just too excited."

It was heartbreaking to see Z28 forcing himself to smile, but Lin Xiao's EQ was such that he obviously couldn't understand these details. He just thought that the child was simply too timid, so his reaction was too strong after being stimulated.

"The director should be in the office right now. Commander Lin Xiao must have something important to talk to her about, right? Then hurry up, um...um...come on?"

The cute little girl tried hard to smooth things over, trying to get rid of the embarrassment of her previous awkwardness and naivety, but the loss in her heart made her almost want to cry.

Yes, if you think about it carefully, you will know that it must be a joke. Why would a big shot like Commander Lin Xiao come to the Maritime Administration to see her?

A destroyer guarding the gate? Oh, don't be a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. You and he are from two completely different worlds. You are lucky enough to be able to talk to him. Where do you get so many unrealistic delusions?

Now look what happened. I’ve behaved so out of control in front of Commander Lin Xiao. Woohoo~ Will I be hated because of this?

At this moment, Z28 was looking at Lin Xiao's back as he walked away towards the office building, feeling quite sad as if he was being rejected by his favorite idol.

But in fact, how can we blame the innocent little girl for this?

On the way to the office, Wu Zhu thought again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Commander, about the child just now... I think that child may have some feelings for you."

"Hmm? Do you think so too? Haha, it turns out that this commander's reputation as a loli friend is well-deserved."

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Even a gentle girl like Azuma couldn't help but frown, "I mean, is it possible that the girl would like to join the commander's port and become the commander's ship girl?"

Lin Xiao finally paused, turned around and looked at the gate where no one had been seen for a long time. He seemed to finally realize something, but still shrugged and said awkwardly: "I don't think so... Isn't her job at the Maritime Administration pretty good? I think she seems to like her current life quite a lot."

At least that was the impression Z28 gave Lin Xiao.

A very cute girl with a gentle personality and a love for life.

But if someone wants to join his port area after just meeting him a few times, this cannot be blamed on Lin Xiao’s low emotional intelligence, but rather that he has never thought about it in this direction at all.

Even though he was now spoiled by a bunch of ship girls and felt good about himself, he was not so narcissistic that he thought he could capture a well-behaved, gentle and lovely girl who worked in the Maritime Administration with a stable job just by chatting with her casually...

Chapter 107 The Confident Azuma

"So, is it possible that the lovely girl really fell in love with him for no reason and wanted to quit her job immediately to join him and join the port district?"

Maybe it is possible, but Lin Xiao still felt that the possibility was too small. The more likely possibility was that my wife was thinking too much and the girl was just simply scared.

On this point, my wife herself was not really sure about the girl's thoughts, so she did not continue to persuade Lin Xiao, and the matter was left unsolved for the time being.

After all, there are more important things to do here today.

Lin Xiao brought my wife into the office building of the Maritime Administration with ease. No matter whether it was the working ship girls, the doorman or the lobby manager, they all seemed not surprised to see him. Some of the more familiar ones even said hello by the way, such as the ship girl Weser with short red hair and a very "busty" look. Lin Xiao had been responsible for the handover and arrangement of many things in the past, so they could be considered acquaintances. They looked at each other, and Lin Xiao nodded to each other as a greeting.

But...why did he feel that there was something wrong with the way she looked at him today? Was it his illusion?

Shaking his head, not having time to dwell on these details, Lin Xiao went upstairs with ease and came to the door of Peter Strasser's office. He knocked on the door and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Peter put down the quill in his hand, raised his head from the pile of books on the desk, and saw Lin Xiao. He was not surprised, "It's you..."

Lin Xiao thought she was talking about the time when he knocked on the door and then pushed it open without waiting for a response. Apart from him, few people would do this. The main reason was that he and Peter were familiar enough, and Peter would not do anything strange in the office. He was not afraid of accidentally discovering some secrets and being killed or framed.

But apparently, that's not what Peter Strasser meant...at least not just that.

"So, you weren't bullying the destroyer stationed at the gate of our Maritime Administration just now, were you?"

"Um...even you heard it?"

This was something Lin Xiao had not expected. So, the child's voice was really loud at that time, and he was indeed quite frightened.

"What else? The entire Maritime Administration heard it, right?"

Lin Xiao instantly understood why so many of the ship girls he had just greeted had strange looks in their eyes. Now that he thought about it, it was probably as if they were looking at a scumbag.

"Actually, it can't be called bullying... I think it can only be regarded as a wonderful misunderstanding."

"uh-huh?"

Peter did not respond to this, but just shrugged. Now that she knew Lin Xiao quite well, she certainly would not believe this guy's nonsense. If you say that this guy did not do it on purpose, she is sure. After all, this guy is not really a bad person. Although he is not a good person in any way and has a lot of bad intentions, he is indeed not a bad person.

But if you say that this guy didn't bully the girl at the door just now, Peter won't believe it. This guy must have triggered his "passive skill" unintentionally. Either he flirted with the girl, or he said nonsense and hurt her feelings. Anyway, these are the reasons why a fool makes mistakes.
