I, Azure Commander!

As the number of ship girls increased, Lin Xiao became numb to spending money.

If it were when he had just traveled through time, he would have turned pale with fright if he saw a bill calculated in W one day.

Having said that, we have been using Aunt Saint’s money until now. Although it is natural to use your wife’s money, it still doesn’t seem right... The main reason is that Lin Xiao himself should be rich!

There were so many resources and equipment in the port area before. If he could find them back, his worth would probably not be lower than that of the Saint Aunt. The question is where did those things go?

Lin Xiao's mind quickly flashed with the image of a green-haired cat and an expressionless black-haired rabbit. He could tell who had taken the things from the port area just by thinking with his toes...

But it's okay. If you change it to that kind of carefree ship girl, such as a big mobile phone, if she takes it, who knows how much it has shrunk in the past few years, and a lot of priceless treasures may be lost. But if it is replaced by the duo of profiteers, there is no need to worry about the safety of the port assets, and it is even estimated that it can increase a lot - God knows how many boxes they have painted, there are so many white boxes, blue boxes and purple boxes in the house before, they are all counted in tens of thousands.

I don’t know where these two profiteers are cheating people now... Lin Xiao was holding a little girl in his arms, walking on the way to dinner, thinking of the cute green-haired cat in his heart. When he sees it again, he must find a chance to give this cute profiteer a good rub.

As more people come to the port area, meal time always becomes very lively, both lively and annoying. Children always refuse to sit still at the dinner table, and adults have a headache at this time, as they have to take care of the children.

Fortunately, there are more reliable girls, so Lin Xiao doesn't have to be a parent anymore. The girls in each camp will naturally take care of the children in their own camp. Of course, the Royal Ark will always be excluded at this time, and even be taken care of like a child, otherwise she will definitely take the opportunity to do something...

Soon the food was served and the children quieted down and started eating.

Lin Xiao was enjoying a heart-warming dinner, while on the other side, Peter Strasser, who had finally finished his work, finally had time to take care of this junior who suddenly came to her for help.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Maritime Administration cafeteria for dinner... Forget it, let's go out for dinner. I'll book a private room."

Peter Strasser thought about it and changed his mind. This lovely junior was not as harmless as he seemed. He said he was coming to seek refuge, but was he just going to cause trouble for her?

"Senior Peter, you are the director of the Maritime Administration. It shouldn't be difficult to arrange a leisurely job for me that doesn't require me to go to work but still gets paid, right?"

After holding it in for the entire journey, Prince Adalbert finally couldn't help but bring up the matter again when they got to the closed soundproof room.

"Ugh……"

Peter Strasser sighed helplessly. That was why she had booked a private room. If others heard about this, they would definitely misunderstand...

Chapter 7: Such a port area...seems to really exist?

"No."

Peter Strauss's attitude towards Adalbert's request was naturally very firm.

It is true that she is the director of the Maritime Administration, but precisely because of this, she cannot favor her and open this back door for her.

Besides, there are quite a few relatively easy jobs in the Maritime Administration, such as doorman, or some people who are responsible for delivering documents and information, or some manual labor for miscellaneous things. These are simple and easy jobs for the ship girls, but there are no jobs that require almost no work. Besides... most of those easy jobs have to be left to some immature destroyer children. They can't do complicated work, so where is the room to support such a lazy guy?

This child was not like this back then. Although his personality is a bit casual, he was still willing to work hard when he was first born, otherwise he would not have reached nearly level 100 today.

However, this guy who is nearly level 100 and is an absolute main force wherever he goes, all he thinks about is slacking off and not working. What's going on?

If every ship girl is like this, then we might as well just stop defending the front lines and let the Sirens take over the world!

She kept the angry words in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud. First of all, it was useless. This guy had obviously become a hard-core old-fashioned man who was not easily influenced by anything. There was no point in saying anything. Secondly, she was no longer the ignorant newcomer she used to be. Although her personality and style were a bit fucked up now, it was her own wish and choice after all. A ship girl had the right to choose the lifestyle and attitude she wanted. Although she was a senior, she shouldn't be too bossy.

"In short, it's impossible to fish in troubled waters in the Maritime Administration. At least you can't be lazy about the work that needs to be done."

"Eh--"

Prince Adalbert stretched out his voice, looking very disappointed, but his expression did not fluctuate much. In fact, this was something she had expected.

Senior Peter is a serious person and will not allow a "parasite" like her to stay in the Maritime Administration and eat and drink for free.

However, she didn't necessarily have to stay in the Maritime Administration. It would be better to work under her senior who had done her a favor. She would feel a little guilty when she was slacking off, so she immediately told him her real purpose: "Okay, then, Senior Peter, can you at least introduce me to a suitable place? There must be a place that meets my requirements in the entire city of Lombardy, right?"

"..."

Peter Strasser was speechless, so, is this your purpose?

She took a deep breath and felt a pain in her head. What was going on? Was she the mother who was helping her daughter find a date?

"Okay, I'll think of a way..."

Peter agreed to this for the time being and took out his seldom-used smartphone and began to look through some of the information on it.

Just as Prince Adalbert said, if the scope is expanded to the entire city of Lombardy, there are still some idle positions that basically do not require work.

but……

"There are some leisurely jobs, but they are basically jobs for humans... Do you spend your money well?"

The expenses of a ship girl are, of course, relatively large. Even if the ship equipment is not activated, some resources are still needed to maintain basic activities on a daily basis, which still costs a lot of money.

Moreover, ship girls generally eat more than humans, have no concept of money, and spend it like water. If not all ship girl-related jobs are high-paying, there would be countless ship girls in this world who are so poor that they have to eat dirt and can only sell themselves to commanders for "support".

But the kind of job that Adalbert wanted obviously wouldn't get him the high salary offered by KanColle.

"This one……"

Faced with the questions from his predecessors, Prince Adalbert seemed to be suddenly enlightened and showed a somewhat surprised expression.

This question was indeed something she had not considered before, so after hesitating for a moment, she smiled awkwardly and looked at the senior in front of her, "How about, Senior Peter, can you help me a little?"

"..."

Peter Strasser felt like he was facing a shameless commander named Lin. He resisted the urge to curse and maintained his dignity and composure as a senior. He slowly said, "Climb."

"Okay miss."

Hearing this, Adalbert stood up and prepared to leave... That was impossible. He could only look pitifully at Senior Peter in front of him, blinking his big watery eyes and acting cute.

"If a commander saw you like this, he would be very interested in getting you back...why don't you just find a commander to keep you?"

"How can that be possible?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Adalbert shook his head like a flower stick, pouted and complained: "Senior, you don't know, those commanders always say nice things when they try to get you, saying that you will have a good time and don't have to do anything in the future. Many ship girls really believe it, and they blurt out a word "commander" easily and follow him home. But what's the result? If the ship girls you get don't want your body, who would coax you? Go to work honestly. There are even those who go on eight sorties a day, and they are so tired... I have seen a lot of such things!"

Peter Strasser looked at Prince Adalbert who was speaking in a serious tone and wanted to refute her for a moment. But after thinking carefully, he didn't know how to refute her. After all, what she said did make sense.

The duty and mission of a ship girl is to fight against the Sirens and to attack. If you want to choose an easy life, that's fine, no one will care about you. But since you have already joined the port, doesn't that mean you want to live a normal life as a ship girl?

What? If you don't even want to attack, then what's the point of you in the port? Are you just a pretty vase? We are all shipgirls, who doesn't look pretty? Do you know how much the port costs to support you?

After such a long argument, well, there is no way out. I am definitely not right, and there is no place to complain. Even the Maritime Bureau will definitely not support the port ship girls who are idle and not working. The frequent attacks by the ship girls show that the commander is motivated and deserves praise...

If you want to find a port area where the ship girls almost never need to attack, you really can't find it... huh? Wait...

Peter Strasser seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly froze. Oh, it seemed like there really was something.

"Hello~Senior Peter?"

Prince Adalbert waved his palm in front of Peter's eyes, and looked at her curiously. "What's wrong with you? You suddenly became like this, without saying a word. What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering if I should let you harm a bastard who has been harming me all day long..."

"?"

Chapter 8: Early Morning Visitors

The next day, the whole family was having breakfast when suddenly someone knocked on the door. When Lin Xiao opened the door and saw Miss Peter Strasser, the Director of the Maritime Administration, standing at the door, he was a little confused.

And when he saw the very familiar face following Peter Strasser, he became even more confused.

Anyway, he invited the two of them in and had breakfast together. Peter Strauss was almost accustomed to the spectacular scene of dozens of ship girls eating breakfast together. He just felt that there seemed to be a lot more ship girls compared to before, which was normal. That guy went out before, saying that he was going to check out the port area, but he didn't know whether he came back or got so many ship girls.

Prince Adalbert was different. She was completely dumbfounded. She had thought that the ones she had seen on the cruise ship before were the majority of the shipgirls in this port area. But now... my goodness, except for the war with the Sirens, she had rarely seen so many shipgirls gathered together even in the Maritime Bureau.

Several strangers did not know the director of the Maritime Administration, but their companions would naturally introduce him to them and say hello to each other, which meant they knew each other.

Among the new members of this port area, the one that caught Peter Strasser's attention the most was naturally the ship girl with a pair of red mechanical horns on her head and black hair like a waterfall.

When he saw her for the first time, although she had an elegant and easy-going smile on her face and her black and gold eyes were full of gentleness, Peter Strasser still had a creepy feeling, as if she was not a ship girl, but some terrible beast.

Danger! This ship girl is too dangerous!

Peter Strasser managed to calm himself down and not react in a defensive manner. He forced a smile and greeted the other party. He took the opportunity to sit next to Lin Xiao and immediately asked, "Who is that new black-haired ship girl?"

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiao knew that she was probably frightened by the emperor, and replied with some amusement: "Frederick the Great, have you never seen him?"

"..." Peter Strasser was stunned for a moment, then quickly matched the ship girl in front of her with the illustrated book in her mind. She was indeed very similar, but her mind went blank for a moment and she didn't remember it.

"Emperor, no wonder..."

As the director of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, Peter Strasser had some knowledge of this kind of scientific research ship, not to mention that the Emperor was the ship of their Iron Blood camp. Thinking back carefully, this guy did say that he had Frederick the Great. At that time, Peter Strasser's first reaction was that he was bragging. Now...

Even if he said he was a seven-star battleship, Peter Strasser might have doubted whether he was joking.

There's nothing we can do. This is the impression this guy gives people. He is unreasonably euphoric and extremely mysterious, but other than that, his personality and character are very nice. The investigation by the Maritime Administration did not find any problems, and although there are many suspicious and unknown points, everything can still be explained away in the end.

Otherwise, even though he was a troublesome junior, Peter Strasser would not push his acquaintance into the fire pit.

"So, the director came to visit my home this time. Is there something important?"

Although everyone is familiar with each other, they still have to talk seriously about business. While asking this question, Lin Xiao looked at Prince Adalbert beside him. So, is it related to Heinrich's sister?

"As you can see, I have a troublesome junior who came to me for help... I won't keep you in suspense. Let's be frank. She is a lazy bum, a complete parasite, but she is still quite cute. If I say she wants to join your port, will you accept her?"

"what?"

Lin Xiao was somewhat confused. He guessed that what Peter Strasser wanted to say was probably related to Prince Adalbert, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct?

He didn't know that Peter Strasser was also annoyed by this junior. Besides, time didn't allow her to stay here for too long, she had to go to work soon...

While Lin Xiao and Peter Strasser were communicating, someone was naturally "entertaining" Prince Adalbert. Heinrich was naturally the first to come up and say hello, with three parts of surprise, three parts of surprise, three parts of teasing and one part of ridicule in his eyes.

"Why, didn't you say you didn't want to join the port? You really can't bear to leave me, your sister?"

"No, this can't be the reason, right?"

Prince Adalbert expressionlessly pushed away Heinrich's approaching face, but his words sounded somewhat stubborn.

Facts have proved that the law of true fragrance is not only effective for humans, but also for ship girls who cannot escape the scope of this law.

When Heinrich first came to talk to him, Adalbert didn't believe it at all. As she deceived him, he gradually became skeptical. But after all, she was already a ship girl in the port area, so she was still more skeptical. After all, this was quite different from her previous experience and cognition.

But even Senior Peter recommended her to come to this place, so the situation was different.

Although Prince Adalbert admitted that he had caused a lot of trouble for Senior Peter, based on her understanding of Senior Peter, it seemed that he would not give her a back door, and Senior Peter would definitely not push her into the fire pit just because he was annoying.

In addition, she even used her own experience to say that she had also stayed in this port area for two days, and what she saw and heard was indeed no different from what Heinrich said. Adalbert quickly realized that he almost missed a super meal ticket.

If she had known this was the case, would Heinrich and Peter have recommended her? She would have come here to recommend herself.

But it is never too late to mend the fold after the sheep has been stolen. Moreover, the sheep has not yet run away, so it is still not too late to lick it now...

Under this premise, let's look at the commander of this port area. Wow, what a guy. Not to mention his handsomeness, he is young, rich, and has a big family. He can definitely support a parasite like her, and he can even tolerate idlers. He completely meets her requirements, even a little too good.

And just at this moment, Nagashima, who had slept enough, finally walked into the living room in a messy set of pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes, holding the breakfast specially left for her by the maids, and sat down at the table to eat. When she sat down, she realized that today seemed a little different from usual.

Why are there so many people in the living room at this hour? Did I get up too early?

"Nagashima-senpai!"

Just when she was confused, Prince Adalbert walked up to her in a flash and saluted her in a formal manner, "Senior Nagashima, please accept me as your disciple. I hope you will take good care of me in the future!"

"……what?"

Chapter 9: Just tell me whether you want it or not?

"Senior Nagashima, I have admired you for a long time. Please teach me the art of slacking off in the future!"

"what?"

Facing this guy who suddenly appeared in front of him, called him "senior" on his own initiative, and said that he wanted to be his disciple, Changdao, who had just woken up, was obviously a little confused.

No, who are you?

Changdao cast a puzzled look at his companions around him, and then at the commander Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was also somewhat shocked by this scene and was somewhat confused.

Recalling my previous impression of Prince Adalbert, he looked lazy and ignored me when he saw me. He even kept his distance and wanted to run away immediately.

Prince Heinrich was a little dumbfounded at the change in his sister. Now thinking back to her previous determined look, when she suspected that her own sister was a liar, he felt a little refreshed for some reason.

"So you see, this is the situation..."

Peter Strasser pointed at Prince Adalbert, who made her feel a little embarrassed, and said to Lin Xiao: "This junior of mine is willing to join your port area to eat and wait for death. Just tell me whether you will accept him or not?"

"Isn't this not good?"

Lin Xiao seemed to instinctively want to be reserved, but Peter Strasser was a straightforward man. He immediately stood up, walked up to Prince Adalbert, grabbed the collar and walked out.

"Okay, go away. They won't accept you."

She had to rush to work and didn't want to continue embarrassing herself with this guy.

"Eh?"

Prince Adalbert was being dragged to the door before he could even react. Seeing that Peter Strasser was about to close the door, he quickly reacted and held onto the wall tightly with his hands, refusing to let go no matter what.

He looked at Nagashima, who was still confused, with surprise and help, and kept sending her signals for help.
