I, Azure Commander!

"You wouldn't!" Z28 obviously understood his friend and quickly chuckled and said, "Okay, stop joking. Thank you for your advice. I will try my best to do it later. By the way, it's almost time for dinner. Shall we go to the cafeteria to eat together?"

Z28 seemed to have finally found a goal and soon became cheerful, feeling that everything in life was full of motivation again. However, Z24 had a completely different feeling at this time. She looked at her friend's back as he walked away and suddenly regretted what she had said just now...

However, there was no way to take back what had been said, so he could only quickly catch up with Z28. He was absent-minded during the meal and didn't even say those childish words from the past.

The excited Z28 obviously did not notice these details. His mind was full of how to get to know Commander Lin Xiao's Z-Drive in the port area and how to ask for their help.

She didn't expect that, at least up to now, there was only one Z-Driver in Lin Xiao's port area that hadn't been found... There were indeed quite a few Z-Drivers at home, but all of them were still wandering outside. It was estimated that most of them were in the G area, following the iron-blooded girls back to their hometown...

Chapter 112: On the voyage

A certain low EQ and scumbag commander obviously doesn't know what the little girl Z28 is thinking, nor does he know that another difficult kid has been drawn into the vortex surrounding him because of his friend. What he wants to do most now is to go and take a look at his own new port area.

The candidates for the accompanying persons had already been finalized, and Lin Xiao made the decision directly. Naturally, no ship girl dared to raise any objection, so there was no scramble for the accompanying list.

The Saint Aunt had made preparations a few days in advance and had the cruise ship cleaned carefully again. There would be no need for outsiders to accompany her on future trips. The cleaning could be handed over to the reliable maid Sheffield, and she could cook by herself, with the help of Helena and my wife. There was no problem at all. She just needed to prepare more ingredients on the cruise ship.

As the saying goes, there is no time to lose. Early the next morning after visiting the Maritime Administration, Lin Xiao brought the girls to the port and boarded the cruise ship to prepare for departure.

The little fox didn't know what was wrong with her, she was wearing a pure white yukata. According to her own words, it was beautiful and convenient. This girl really didn't seem to like modern clothes. Of course, although she liked kimonos, she didn't like to wear them, because unlike yukatas, kimonos were very troublesome to put on, and it took a long time to put them on or take them off.

Of course, no one cares what clothes she wears. The little fox in a yukata does look more lovely and approachable than usual. She seems to be in a good mood, with a rare faint smile on her face... until Lin Xiao sneaks up on her and touches her tail hard.

When I went to the Maritime Administration yesterday, I had naturally asked Peter Strasser about the specific location of their new port area. It is not far from here, less than a day's sail, and it is a small island a little distance from the shore.

Although it is called a small island, it is naturally more than enough to be used as a port area. The port area that has been built here in the past only used less than one-tenth of the available area of ​​the island. The newly built one this time will be much larger, several times larger than the original one, but it only occupies one-fifth of the total area of ​​the island.

If necessary, certain expansion can be carried out next to the port area. In addition, there are mountain beaches, dense forests and streams. The ecological environment is also very good. It can be said to be a Feng Shui treasure land.

However, such a place is actually a very important strategic location. It is one of the necessary routes for the Sirens to invade the area near the city of Lombardy. There used to be a port area here.

But what about the result?

The commander of that port area is not a newbie either. He has more than a dozen ship girls under his command. He has been a commander for seven or eight years and is very experienced. There are many high-level ship girls with training levels of 70 or 80 under his command.

But he finally chose to submit his application and left here. The reason was simple: the pressure was too great.

As the last line of defense for Lombard City and a large area around it, more than ten cities, the battle line that needs to be guarded is long, and there will be attacks from Sirens from time to time. Sometimes they have to go out every day, and they have to patrol and attack... Where do so many ship girls come from? Don't ship girls need to rest?

So seeing that his own ship girl's life was difficult and her days were getting harder and harder, he had no choice but to give up this good place and choose to move to a more remote place to settle the port.

After that, several commanders tried to come here one after another, and the final result was naturally the same: none of them could stay.

Later, the Maritime Administration simply cancelled the port area here and directly transferred forces from the Maritime Administration to fill the defense of this sea area. Although this solved the problem, the Maritime Administration had to consume a lot of manpower and material resources every year on this vacancy. Since Peter Strasser took office as the director of the Maritime Administration in this area, he has been troubled by this matter and has been trying to find a suitable candidate to fill this vacancy.

In addition to this, which is the defense line in the eastern waters of Lombardy City, it also includes the western waters of Lombardy City, which also urgently needs a port area to guard.

However, compared to here, the west is closer to the inland sea, so the pressure is relatively smaller.

According to Peter Strasser's original idea, seeing that a European emperor named Tang Xiaojiu suddenly appeared in the area under her jurisdiction, she planned to wait for Tang Xiaojiu to graduate and let her be responsible for guarding the eastern waters.

Then there is only the western sea area left, and we can consider arranging other outstanding commanders to try. If it doesn't work, the Maritime Administration will only be responsible for that area, and the pressure will be much less than it is now.

But just when she had made plans and arranged everything, a monster who was even luckier than Tang Xiaojiu showed up, and a few days later this guy came to her door with his ship girl.

Being trapped in the office at that time, Peter Strasser appeared to be a bad boy, but in fact he had already made up his mind to trick Lin Xiao and throw the difficult problem of guarding the eastern waters to him.

Later, she learned the specific situation of his port area, and it was no longer a matter of whether it was a scam or not. She needed to solve the security problem in the eastern waters of Lumba City, and Lin Xiao needed a place that was large enough and free enough as a port area. The two parties hit it off and each got what they needed, so she did not hesitate at the time and directly used the funds of the Maritime Administration to help Lin Xiao build the port area.

Although the construction of a new super-large port requires a lot of funds, it is at most equivalent to the investment of the Maritime Administration in this eastern waters for two or three years. Spending two or three years of money in advance to solve the problem once and for all is a good deal no matter how you look at it. Just think of it as an advance investment. You will get your money back in the first two years, and you will make a lot of money starting from the third year.

Of course, it was totally unexpected that a super rich woman came back to Lin Xiao's Hong Kong area...

After that, several hundred million yuan of funds were allocated. There was so much money that the construction team had to rack their brains all day to figure out how to spend it.

As for materials, we have used the best, and the decoration and landscaping are all calculated according to the maximum limit. Finally, after thinking about it, we can only buy some more artworks and luxurious ornaments to decorate it, and hang them on the wall.

In this case, Peter Strasser should be thankful that St. Louise did not come back so early. If she had come back earlier and did not have to worry about the funding for the construction of the port area, who knows how those people would have cheated her...

To be fair, although Lin Xiao's appearance helped her solve one of her biggest worries, Peter Strasser obviously still felt that meeting Lin Xiao and those ship girls in his port was definitely the most unfortunate thing that had happened to her since she became the director of the Maritime Bureau.

Take yesterday for example... Although she asked for it and wanted to see how powerful a real colorful ship girl is, the gap was far beyond her expectations and the blow of her losing to the vanguard ship as a main battleship and losing so quickly still made Director Peter a little autistic.

Looking at the slightly complicated looks of those juniors who used to be full of admiration for me, I still feel mixed emotions.

Of course, as a mature ship girl, she doesn't really care about these things, nor does she want to have a strong desire to win like some young and ambitious ship girls. If she loses, she loses. It's not shameful to admit that someone is worse than her if she is not as skilled as others!

Let's not talk about Director Peter for now. As the New Year came to an end, the weather was getting warmer on Lin Xiao's side. Especially today when the sun was shining brightly, Lin Xiao did not hide in the cabin as usual. Instead, just like when he first traveled here, he took a recliner, put on sunglasses, and lay comfortably on the recliner to bask in the sun.

St. Louis was in charge of driving the boat in the cockpit, and Helena was beside her. The two sisters chatted while overlooking Lin Xiao on the deck, while Sheffield was doing some housework like making the bed, and occasionally passing snacks or drinks to a lazy guy. It turned out that the trash maid was only tough in words. In fact, she was not much better than other ship girls. In fact, as a maid, she doted on her master more than anyone else. Because she was one of the first few ship girls found, Sheffield was one of the ship girls Lin Xiao was most familiar with. When he reached out to take the drink, he took the opportunity to touch the cute little maid's soft hand. Sheffield seemed to be used to it and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and did his own thing.

Sure enough, after not long, he returned to his old temper, just taking advantage of you. He didn't do anything more excessive, and he didn't give you the ring. He just kept you hanging, making you feel uneasy.

Sheffield is now experienced and doesn't fall for it. He doesn't bother to pay attention to him and just turns around to do his own thing.

After all, she didn't have big and obvious ambitions like Belfast. She just wanted to be a maid peacefully. Being harassed by her pest-like master was just a part of a maid's life and there was nothing strange about it.

As for the promise made about the ring... who knows if he still remembers it now? It doesn't matter. If he remembers it, it means he doesn't want to give it to him for the time being or he regrets it. If it's this scumbag owner, it doesn't seem to be a very strange thing. If he really forgot it, then just forget it. Sheffield didn't specifically remind him of this idea.

While Lin Xiao was basking in the sun, there was another person on the deck. The little fox, wearing a yukata, moved a small stool and sat on the edge of the boat. He held a fishing rod in his hand and fished while basking in the warm sun.

This kind of entertainment activity that can provide a moment of peace in today's world is perfect for the little fox's personality...

However, Zai, who would feel uncomfortable all over if he didn't play for a minute, obviously would not let the little fox fish so smoothly. He lay on the recliner for less than ten minutes before "bouncing" up from the recliner like a spring and sneaked towards the little fox with its back to him.

Chapter 113: Do you like eating chicken?

What should I do when I sneak up behind the little fox?

Of course, she was playing tricks on him, so she touched the little fox's ears and tail, which were usually not allowed to be touched...

The little fox looks cold on the outside, but she is actually very delicate and soft. If you sit next to her and put your arms around her waist, she will never push you away. Instead, she will lean on you and rub her head against your chest like a spoiled child. She is so adorable.

But if you want to touch her ears or her tail, that won't work, no matter what you say. She will immediately turn hostile and push you away mercilessly. Her arrogant look makes Lin Xiao feel like she is Da Xuefeng for a moment.

In short, except for some special circumstances, the little fox's tail and ears cannot be touched.

When you can touch it, it must be time to pay a price. At that time, you can touch it casually, not to mention touching, you can even bite it. The problem is that if you bite her at that time, the little fox will definitely bite you back... your kidneys can't bear it!

So since it's a rare opportunity, of course we have to seize it and take a sneak peek.

So, the sneaky Lin sneaked up behind the little fox and grabbed its tail which was swaying slowly from side to side. The furry feeling immediately made Lin Xiao smile happily, but the little fox froze and then showed a helpless look. He turned around and snatched his tail from Lin Xiao's hand. He blushed and gave him a white look, saying unhappily, "You scared the fish away."

Isn't it? Just now, I was frightened by Lin Xiao, and I couldn't keep my fishing rod steady. Ripples appeared on the water surface, and under the clear sea surface, I could vaguely see some small fish fleeing into the distance.

However, the cruise ship itself is sailing, so this doesn’t really matter. Whether you can catch fish or not actually depends more on fate. If fate is right, you will naturally catch fish. So, Lin Xiao will never admit to the little fox’s behavior of blaming others for not being able to catch fish.

"If you can't catch any fish, then you can't catch any fish. Anyway, there's food on the boat. Are you afraid that you'll starve? Isn't fishing for fun?"

"Just because I want peace and quiet doesn't mean I want to be a landless person."

The little fox was too lazy to pay attention to him. He shook his head and shook off someone's evil big hand. His cute fox ears trembled. He moved his butt and moved the stool to the side.

Just as she said, it's not that she likes eating fish very much, or that she expects to catch fish to add to the dishes on the lunch table, but although fishing is purely for fun and to have a quiet and comfortable time, she still wants to get something if possible.

"Don't be so heartless. I have nothing to do right now. I'm so bored. Can you chat with me? It won't affect your fishing anyway."

Jiang Feng curled his lips upon hearing this, looked down at the guy's hands that were touching his waist dishonestly, and said unhappily, "We can chat, but if you touch me again... I will assume that you have a lot of energy today."

The words were spoken calmly, perhaps even a little confusing, but Lin Xiao quickly calmed down. He knew exactly what the other party meant - if he continued to be naughty, he would be killed tonight!

So why do we say that Lin Xiao is addicted to talent? He can't help but flirt with people every time, but he doesn't have the ability to deal with it after flirting, which makes the girls at home feel helpless, but they can't just say that he is a wimp, right?

"Okay, okay...I won't move. I'll just leave it like this."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he reached out and pulled a small stool from the side and placed it next to Jiang Feng. He then put his arm around the little fox's waist and laughed shamelessly.

"You..." Jiang Feng obviously had no way to deal with this guy whose face was thicker than a city wall. He sighed helplessly and was too lazy to slap his hand away. Anyway, this guy would definitely not behave himself even if he slapped his hand away.

However, I always feel a little uncomfortable like this... How should I put it, the posture feels awkward.

Jiang Feng turned his head and looked at the recliner behind him.

"Go and help me carry that over here."

"Would you like to fish from a deck chair?"

"Just move it over here."

Lin Xiao didn't ask any more questions. How could he not complete his wife's order? So he ran over and moved the recliner over here.

"Come, this is the love chair that the commander brought for his most beloved little fox. Sit down—"

"Lie down."

"what?"

Lin Xiao was stunned. Didn’t this little fox want to sit by himself?

"Don't ask so many questions, just lie down quickly."

Since Jiang Feng said so, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then did as he was told and sat on the recliner. Before he could look at the little fox again, a small and slender body sat on his legs, leaned back, and leaned into his arms, still holding a fishing rod in her hand. She moved her butt to find a comfortable position, and curled up in his arms with a peaceful look on her face.

So this little fox is planning this?

Lin Xiao finally understood the little fox's thoughts. He smiled helplessly, put his arms around the little fox's slender waist, and lay comfortably on the recliner.

"It's really a rotten and stinking lifestyle like a bedbug, Master."

After walking on the deck for a while, Sheffield came over following the lounge chair and placed the freshly squeezed juice on the small coffee table next to him. He also moved the small coffee table next to Lin Xiao.

"Thanks, Sheffield~"

Lin Xiao didn't care about the maid's sharp tongue. In his opinion, the maid was just envious and jealous.

"Thanks from a bedbug are really a bit unpleasant..."

Sheffield continued to speak expressionlessly. When he turned around and left with the tray, his movements seemed to pause slightly, less than 0.5 seconds. He quickly glanced at Jiang Feng, who looked lazy and almost fell asleep, and then turned back to the cabin.

"So, you plan to keep doing this until you catch a fish?"

"Who knows..."

The little fox's voice was a little lazy and seemed a little weak, as if he didn't want to answer.

"Do you really want to eat fish?"

"It seems normal for foxes to like eating fish, right?"

"I don't know... I've never raised a fox before. Should I ask Yu Hu when I get back? Or should I ask you directly now?"

"I'm not sure. Fish is edible, but I don't particularly like it..."

"So what do you particularly like to eat?"

"Um……"

The little fox seemed to be lost in thought. After a moment, he said, "Do you like eating chicken?"

"..."

Although this might be because he was wearing yellow glasses, why did Lin Xiao always feel that the little fox was making a double entendre? But there was nothing wrong with foxes liking to eat chicken, which was a fairly correct answer.

Well, you are indeed a little fox, what a cunning answer...

Chapter 114: The "Guests" Arriving at the Port First

"What? Are you thinking of something weird?"

"Why do you say that?"

Although the little fox is cunning, Lin Xiao is no pushover. After getting along with so many ship girl girls, he is now a shrewd man. He knows very well that in a situation like this, if you answer with "I didn't" or "How is it possible", the little fox will immediately accuse him of having the wrong idea.

But with an answer like his that was completely puzzling and had no weaknesses, the little fox had nothing to find fault with.

"Ugh……"

As a result, facing Lin Xiao's self-proclaimed perfect answer, the little fox sighed helplessly and said, "It hurts my butt a little, you old pervert."

"No way?"

Lin Xiao was startled for a moment, and subconsciously felt it carefully. Then he saw the smirk on the little fox's face. Well, he was tricked again.

The higher the virtue, the higher the evil!

This little fox, seeing that his commander is pure and honest, takes advantage of him to bully him. It is really shameful behavior.

Lin Xiao was thinking this indignantly in his heart, but he certainly would not just sit there and wait to die in the face of the little fox's behavior. He stretched out his evil claws and scratched the little fox's belly, because he knew the opponent's weakness very well, so this attack was obviously quite effective. The little fox soon curled up and couldn't help laughing.

"What an over the top commander. He lets his shipgirls go to work while he flirts and plays around with his wedding ship. Such a commander must be given a good 'lecture' tonight. Don't you think so, Helena?"

The shy girl Helena was obviously not the same kind as her sister - at least not on the surface, so she did not give any response, but rolled her eyes at her frivolous sister and continued to do her job at hand - while controlling the cruise ship, she was also keeping an eye on the situation in the nearby waters. Once there was any unexpected situation, she would immediately let the commander on the deck pay attention to safety, urge him to hide in the cabin, and prepare for battle. Although the number of ship girls was small, they were absolutely confident that they could protect the commander in such a relatively inland waters.

However, her worries seemed unnecessary. Before the port was officially completed, this area of ​​the sea was one of the key protected areas by the Maritime Administration. She hadn't seen any Sirens during the voyage, but she had seen quite a few patrolling ship girls. Fortunately, their cruise ship was large and conspicuous enough, and seemed to have become famous in the area. Everyone recognized it, and no ship girl came up to question them and delay the trip.

"According to this progress, we will be able to reach the port area before 3pm. In this case, we can go back tomorrow... Or we can be less anxious and stay there for a day and go back the day after tomorrow."

St. Louis listened to his sister's mumbling, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost time. I'll go prepare the ingredients for lunch. Helena, you watch over here. In about ten to twenty minutes, you can slow down and come over to help cook and prepare for dinner."
