I, Azure Commander!

"Save me, save me quickly, Senior, aren't we the best of companions? Why are you just watching, Senior!"

Changdao, with a confused look on her face, obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet. She looked at Lin Xiao beside her with an innocent face. She didn't know what to do.

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, and he shrugged helplessly, saying: "Actually...it's not impossible to consider it."

"..." Peter Strasser was obviously a little speechless, "So you humans are really troublesome. You always like to waste time on things that can be solved quickly."

It is easy to imagine what it would be like for someone of her status to deal with officials in the human system.

How could the resolute Peter tolerate those roundabout ways?

Lin Xiao did not respond to this, but just smiled helplessly. In fact, he is still considering it... But although he is considering it, it seems that his brain is not thinking about it. After all, this itself is not something worth thinking about.

Under normal circumstances, who would refuse a ship girl who comes to you on her own initiative?

Although this guy doesn't seem to want to work and contribute to the prosperity of the port, if it were another commander, he would definitely agree to it first, and then wait until the other party joins the port. Then, wouldn't it be up to the commander to decide how to manipulate the situation?

Don't want to attack? You have to attack even if you don't want to. You are the ship girl of the port area. The commander's order is everything. There is no room for refusal.

Besides, from a moral point of view, the idea of ​​being a parasite is obviously not advantageous. No matter whether it is the ship girls or humans who judge, no one will stand on her side.

Of course, Lin Xiao would not do such a thing. In fact, the situation in their port area is... Even if you want to attack, you may not have the opportunity.

Even if the port is completed in the future, even if there will be more troubles in their port according to Peter Strasser, plus the commissions they have to send out on weekdays, the number of sorties is still very limited. In contrast, the number of ship girls at home is not ordinary, and it is likely to continue to grow rapidly in the future. Most of the ship girls in their port have been baptized in the "fire of war" and are not opposed to sorties. In fact, just recently, many ship girls have vaguely hinted to Lin Xiao that they want to go out and stretch their muscles...

It is foreseeable that even if there is an opportunity to attack, those ship girls who want to attack will most likely rush to go. Their training and equipment are very powerful, and they have a long history in the port area. A newcomer like Adalbert, even if he wants to attack on his own initiative, will not be able to grab those predecessors.

Therefore, whether Prince Adalbert wants to attack or work, Lin Xiao doesn't care. This is why he feels that there is nothing to consider, but...

Suddenly, a new ship girl is joining, and it always feels a bit weird, as if it is a bit unreal. To put it bluntly, Lin Xiao is still a little unconfident in nature.

Not to mention those ship girls who were originally from their port, Lin Xiao was basically able to accept and adapt to the ship girls in his own port area very quickly. After all, they were originally the ship girls in his own port area, and he "raised" them. He also had the responsibility and obligation to take care of them, and the same went for the ship girls he built. In fact, no matter whether they were built or recovered, Lin Xiao essentially had no impression of them in reality, but there was a corresponding connection connecting them, which allowed Lin Xiao to have a very clear awareness - these were his own ship girls, and so he could naturally get familiar with them quickly with peace of mind.

However, it was a completely different experience to salvage the ship girls. If it was the ship girls that he had worked hard to salvage, it would be fine. The problem was that Lin Xiao never cared about salvaging ships. The ships he salvaged were basically obtained with the help of his own ship girls. He was still confused when he knew that the other party wanted to join the port, but it was difficult to refuse when introduced by his own ship girls. It took him relatively long to get familiar with these ship girls, such as Heinrich and Nuremberg.

It's like buying something yourself versus borrowing or picking up something.

Even if you are sure that these things are ownerless and now belong to you, it is impossible for someone to suddenly appear and take them away. There will always be a process of changing cognition.

However, compared with Nuremberg and Heinrich, who had some signs of the future, Prince Adalbert, who had previously been indifferent to him, was obviously a greater contrast.

It’s not that he won’t accept this ship girl, but I always feel like there’s a feeling of “no reward without merit”.

After all, this is a ship girl, an incredibly cute beautiful girl, and suddenly she is going to become his "property". Well, the feeling is quite subtle... subtle and a little bit cool.

Chapter 10 She even wanted to add some color

After Peter Strasser brought Prince Adalbert back and the maids considerately closed the door, the atmosphere in the living room became a little awkward for a moment.

All the ship girls at the table were looking at Prince Adalbert with curious eyes. They didn't understand the situation, but their hearts were very eager to gossip.

Fortunately, everyone had almost finished their meal, and several more authoritative secretaries quickly dismissed the crowd. Those who had to go to work took those who had to go to class to go to the Naval Academy together. Before leaving, the little fox gave Lin Xiao a look, and most likely he would come to the room tonight to find out the whole story and collect some public grain...

Lin Xiao touched his waist secretly, and his raised hand was shaking slightly.

"So, are you going to accept it or not?"

Peter Strasser took a sip of tea, obviously a little absent-minded - time was running out and she had to leave quickly.

Lin Xiao looked at Prince Adalbert, who nodded repeatedly with an attentive look on his face. However, Lin Xiao always felt that after she successfully infiltrated the port area, he would ignore her and slack off like Changdao every day, eating, sleeping and playing. Changdao at least had a high favorability towards the Commander and liked the Commander very much...

Forget it, it doesn't matter. Lin Xiao doesn't care about these things... Well, he cares a little, but at least it's not a good idea to just refuse now. Seeing that Peter Strasser is very anxious, he guessed that this social animal leader is in a hurry to go to work, so he no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.

"Collect...it."

"Okay, I'll leave her to you then... Don't let her bother me again in the future."

Peter Strasser looked like he had a headache and did not hide his disdain for this troublesome junior at all.

It was actually not a bad thing that the lovely junior came to seek refuge with her. Peter Strasser was very happy at the beginning. This at least showed that the lovely junior trusted her very much. So she was very patient at the beginning and hoped to help this junior.

The results of it?

This guy was really lazy and troublesome. He eventually wore out Peter Strasser's patience, which eventually turned into disgust and impatience. It was really Adalbert, the "naughty kid", who was to blame.

Now that he had finally sent her away, Peter Strasser felt truly relieved, as if he had finally married off his overage daughter... and she was a stepmother at that.

After Lin Xiao made his official statement, she immediately pushed Prince Adalbert beside her towards Lin Xiao, turned around and walked away in a hurry, obviously rushing to work.

"Snapped--!"

With the sound of the door being slammed, Lin Xiao half opened his mouth, looking in astonishment at the girl in front of him who staggered and fell into his arms. She seemed to react and dodged deliberately, but she did not dodge completely. Instead, she fell steadily in Lin Xiao's arms and her chin hit his thigh. Lin Xiao moved subconsciously, and her chin happened to fall on the sofa, between Lin Xiao's legs.

The equally confused girl looked up at Lin Xiao, the little loli who passed by was covered her eyes by Tiancheng and was not allowed to look, the emperor showed a thoughtful smile, Helena opened her mouth halfway with a look of shock, Sirius and the maid remained calm, and Tianying's eyes were a little resentful - it seemed that she had not eaten meat for almost a week.

This posture was indeed quite subtle and made Lin Xiao feel somewhat familiar. He even almost subconsciously entered into a combat state out of habit. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and silently recited the Heart Clearing Mantra in time. He took several deep breaths in succession before he was able to calm down.

"Well...how about you get up first?"

"...Oh, okay, Commander."

Adalbert came back to her senses. The commander's words officially confirmed that she had joined the port area. She subconsciously lifted herself up by holding onto both sides. However, she lifted up Lin Xiao's thighs instead of the sofa. As she lifted herself up with a little force, she also pushed Lin Xiao's thighs apart a little...

Looking at the commander's rather strange and shocked expression, Adalbert wanted to find a pit to jump into.

He had just joined the port area, and his image had already been completely ruined!

I was just slacking off, but joining the port area was the beginning of a new life. What was this? I was socially dead on the first day of joining?

Lin Xiao knew that the other party probably didn't do it on purpose, so he wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, lent a hand to pull the girl up, and stood up himself, taking half a step back to the side, trying to keep a certain distance.

The girl has just joined the port area, don't scare her.

Of course, judging from her appearance, she doesn't. After all, she has been a ship girl for some time. Even if she has not eaten pork, she has seen pigs run. At least she has heard about pigs. After hearing so many things, she has some understanding of them. In addition, she has a casual personality, so she won't blush and scream like the little girl.

In fact, she even wanted to make some dirty jokes with the commander, but after all, she had just joined the port and was not familiar with the commander, nor did she know the commander's personality well. She was afraid that it would cause any misunderstanding or cause the commander to dislike her, so she held back and didn't say it out loud.

"Well, let me think about what to say. Oh, by the way, can I take Adalbert to pick a room for you... or just arrange for them to stay at Heinrich's place and let the sisters live in the same house."

"okay, I get it."

Adalbert looked over when he heard the voice, secretly memorized Noshiro's appearance, and thought to himself that this was probably the port's secretary ship. After all, he had already joined the port, and he would have to get familiar with and build good relationships with his partners in the same port, and the secretary ship was naturally the top priority among them.

Liking a casual life does not mean being a loner. In fact, Adalbert really likes making friends and doing interesting things with everyone. Anyway, if he doesn't want to work, he will have a lot of time. With so much free time, he has to find something to do, right?

Finding interesting things to do is Adalbert's hobby and how she spends her daily life besides work.

In the past, I could only play alone in most cases, but now with so many sisters in the port area, there may be a lot more things to play... Well, I can also ask Nagashima-senpai for advice. She must have a lot of experience in interesting things.

Anyway, for the time being, the new shipgirl who had just joined the port was sent to choose the furniture and decorations she liked. Lin Xiao then got back on track and started the only two serious things in his daily life. One was reading and studying, after all, the exams were getting closer and closer. The other was tinkering with his novel. The progress was quite fast recently, and the main text had already reached tens of thousands of words...

written request for leave

To be honest, I really don't want to ask for leave again. I feel a little embarrassed. However, today is indeed a special situation. I don't know if it's because I have to go home for leave or because of the exam. Anyway, I didn't sleep all night last night. I finished the exam despite being sleepy. I didn't dare to sleep in the afternoon because I was afraid of missing the bus. Now I haven't slept for almost 40 hours. My heart hurts a little. I can only say that my life is more important. I also owe these two chapters and will make up for them later. I'm really sorry. This is the last time I will ask for leave this month.

Chapter 11: College Competition

Time always flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a month since Prince Adalbert joined the port.

It is now March, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, which also means that a big event is approaching.

"Academy drill?"

On this day, Lin Xiao was called to the office by the Dean of Welsh College, whom he had not seen for a long time.

I originally thought that the children at home were naughty so I "called the parents", but then I thought something was not right. When I arrived at the scene, it turned out that it was not the case. The dean of the school, Wales, was not so free as to call parents casually.

The reason she asked Lin Xiao to come over this time was because of the academy exercises.

As for the academy exercises, Lin Xiao knew about them. If he remembered correctly, he had participated in one before and successfully won the first place and took the championship title.

But...wasn't that incident just a short time ago? Why is there another drill so soon?

To be honest, Lin Xiao has been busy preparing for his novel recently, and time is tight. If it is not necessary, he doesn't want to join in the fun.

"If it was still an exercise of our school, do you think I would have specially asked you to come? I would rather you not come to participate..."

Wales rubbed her forehead with a headache. Fighting a civil war, this kind of European emperor can be said to be a headache for her. You say you don't want him to participate? No, but if you let him participate, then the other players basically don't have to play. The result of the exercise has been determined from the moment he joined the battle. No matter whether it is the commander or the ship girl, they can't cheer up and have no expectations for the exercise.

But this time it is different. This time it is not a "civil war" but a "foreign war".

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't I tell you before? There will also be exercises between academies. It's called the 'Academy Competition'. It's to gather all the freshmen of the famous naval academies together to participate in a super large-scale exercise."

"I think I've heard of this..."

Lin Xiao showed a look of realization. He actually had some impression of this. He had heard someone mention it before. He forgot who it was, but he did have some impression of it. It was the name, the College Competition... It felt both earthy and had a hint of fantasy.

"So, you're not going to participate?"

"Not participating."

Lin Xiao's attitude remained the same as before, he shook his head calmly.

"..."

Wales lives in Bengbu, that won't do, that won't work! The reason why she persuaded herself to agree to let this guy graduate early was that she thought this stinky European emperor would be able to kill all the enemies in the college competition, so that she could be proud of herself in front of all her peers. But now this guy said he didn't want to participate in the competition?

That definitely won’t work!

Subconsciously, she wanted to threaten him verbally, but then she thought that she couldn't afford to offend him, otherwise George V would come to her office in the afternoon for tea and "reasoning". So she sighed dejectedly and racked her brains to think of another way.

"There are a lot of rewards for this competition, are you sure you don't want to consider it?"

"What's the reward?"

"There is definitely a bonus. In addition, there are magic cubes and some other precious materials, as well as a lot of good equipment, even purple equipment."

"Oh, not interested."

Lin Xiao was too lazy to even raise his eyelids. Did he lack these things? Of course he did, but did he need them? Of course he didn't, because the rich woman in his family was rich enough, so these problems were not a problem.

"If there's nothing else, I'll just..."

Lin Xiao obviously had no interest in continuing to chat with Wales. He was in a hurry to go back to finish his manuscript. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something, paused, and turned to look at Wales, who had a headache on his face.

"What kind of competition is this? It should be quite valuable."

"Of course, this is a competition among all the famous naval academies!"

Seeing that Lin Xiao seemed interested, Wales immediately became excited and began to introduce the competition in a boastful manner: "If you can win this competition, not only will you get rich rewards, but you will also become famous and gain considerable popularity. It will also be a highlight in your personal experience. If you become a formal commander later, this resume will also be..."

"Headmaster of Welsh College."

Lin Xiao suddenly interrupted her and looked at her seriously.

"Um...what's wrong?"

“Please sign me up!”

"……okay."

Wales responded with a confused look on his face, and then looked at Lin Xiao, whose attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees and walked away with a smile on his face. He was a little confused for a moment.

No, what's wrong? Did I take the wrong medicine or is my brain out of sorts?

She naturally didn't know that Lin Xiao was so happy now. What resume, what a highlight, those were all lies. If he wanted merit points and promotion, he would need real performance.

——But this is for ordinary commanders, but it has a different meaning for Lin Xiao.

What? You ask what's the point? Of course, I'm going to use this to trick Chief Peter...

No, how can it be called a trap? It was just exchanging performance for military rank. They had already discussed it before. Even if this could not be used as a reason for promotion, at least there was such a reputation. When Director Peter used other reasons to help him get promoted, he would have a little more bargaining chips to convince the public, and things would naturally go more smoothly.

So, considering this aspect, he would naturally participate in this so-called college competition, and he must come out on top.

In short, Lin Xiao agreed to the matter and then just walked away. Although Wales was a little confused, it was a good thing that this guy was willing to participate. In addition, Tang Xiaojiu was very obedient and would definitely participate as long as she was told to. Well, now she had two European emperors in her hands, and she didn't know how she could lose. Well, shouldn't she write a letter to those old friends to reminisce about the past first?

As for Lin Xiao, after returning home, he immediately called a few secretaries and briefly described the matter. Of course, although he left in a hurry, he still asked Wales about some basic matters concerning the competition. For example, the venue of this competition was not at the Barbarossa Naval Academy in Lombardy, but at another famous naval academy in Zone C - the Manhattan Naval Academy in Jianghai City.

"Harman stew? Who wants Harman stew?"

Lin Xiao had just finished saying the name of the Naval Academy in Manhattan when a dog who happened to be passing by looked at him in shock, with three parts of fear, three parts of confusion, three parts of puzzlement, and even a little greed in his eyes.

"The commander actually eats children?"

"..."

"Harman stew? Who wants Harman stew?"

Lin Xiao had just finished saying the name of the Naval Academy in Manhattan when a dog who happened to be passing by looked at him in shock, with three parts of fear, three parts of confusion, three parts of puzzlement, and even a little greed in his eyes.

"The commander actually eats children?"
