I, Azure Commander!

But since all the preparations are almost ready, there is no need to rush today. Anyway, Saint Aunt has probably already started thinking about and preparing for the style in advance. Then we can select a few templates and find a suitable format based on the length and content.

Of course, since there was no shortage of money, the illustrations were also arranged quite thoroughly. Lin Xiao had asked Saint Aunt to contact a professional painter a long time ago, and had the other party start drawing the draft in advance. It should have been finished by now.

The rest of the work can be left to Aunt Saint. He only needs to contact the Amemiya family and ask Chisa Amemiya to help with the publicity and promotion work in District J.

In addition, the most important thing is to study. The instructors at the Naval Academy are mainly good at teaching practical combat. As for the theoretical courses, they basically read out the textbooks. It is obviously unrealistic to expect them to mark the key points. In fact, even the test papers are specially designed by relevant talents hired by the Maritime Administration headquarters.

So, to put it bluntly, everything depends on yourself. Lin Xiao placed several books he needed for the exam on the desk, and they formed a thick stack.

I didn't expect that after traveling here, I still have to learn to memorize...

There is no way. The profession of commander is not something that can be done casually. You still have to learn it. First of all, start with organizing the key points. Then focus on memorizing the organized content, and your efficiency will be much higher.

Just when Lin Xiao took out paper and pen to study hard, there was a knock on the door.

"Commander, are you there?"

Chapter 40: Little Biscuits

"Commander, are you there?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door. Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment before he recognized who it was.

"Here I am."

The door was then pushed open, and a girl walked in with a tray in her hand, which she brought gracefully to the table.

"Commander, I tried to bake some cookies. I haven't made them for a long time, so I don't know how they taste..."

"Oh~!"

Lin Xiao suddenly perked up and saw the tray the girl had placed on the table.

On the tray was a very delicate little box, inside which were some small biscuits that were still slightly steaming. They were made very delicately, showing the girl's delicate mind.

Lin Xiao remembered a nickname of the girl in front of him, which seemed to be "Little Biscuit".

So, even though they look very similar, sometimes I still wonder if Howe and George V of Wales are actually sisters. Aren’t their personalities and femininity so different?

"Commander, would you like to try it?"

Hao looked expectant. Although she had often made cookies in the past and the commander had praised her several times, it seemed that he had never eaten the cookies she made. She didn't know whether the commander was really praising her or was just perfunctorily trying to comfort her.

These past two days I heard from my sisters at home that the Commander has changed a lot compared to before. Now he not only dares to speak but also dares to do. I immediately had the idea of ​​making some snacks for the Commander. However, as she said herself, she hadn't made it for a long time and was somewhat rusty. After practicing for a long time and trying dozens of times, I finally made a satisfactory one and sent it over immediately.

However, after knocking on the door, I realized that I was a little too reckless. What if the commander was doing some important work? Wouldn't that disturb him...

Fortunately, after entering, the commander didn't look like he was working. He should be preparing to take a break. The timing was perfect, lucky~

"of course."

The cookies that Little Cookie baked for him personally were something he couldn't eat before, but now that he can, he naturally has to try them no matter what.

Lin Xiao took out the still warm biscuits from the box and carefully put them into his mouth. The rich aroma with just the right amount of sweetness instantly exploded on his tongue, instantly awakening his taste buds. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and exclaimed in surprise: "Delicious!"

Hao's expression instantly became relieved, with a faint smile on his face, and he was naturally happy and satisfied in his heart.

"As long as the Commander likes it..."

"Of course I like it. I like everything that Hao makes... Ah, of course, just make some snacks. You don't have to cook. That's too troublesome..."

"Eh? But I don't think cooking is that troublesome, right?"

"Forehead……"

Lin Xiao's expression suddenly became very subtle. After all, Hao was still a royal ship girl. If she was allowed to enter the kitchen, who knows what would happen?

"Hehe~ Don't worry, Commander, I'm just joking."

However, Hao soon showed a cheerful smile, which dispelled Lin Xiao's concerns. At the same time, his eyes were attracted by the beautiful face of the girl. The feminine Hao seemed to be the best at dressing herself up among the George V class. Although her sisters might not be inferior to her in terms of appearance, even for a naturally beautiful girl like a ship girl, the decoration and setting off of clothes are also very important. Add a little bit of light makeup to set off the beauty, and the difference in charm immediately emerges.

If I have to say something, it is that when facing Big Brother or Big Brother and other Level 5 Qiao ship girls, Lin Xiao didn't feel anything because he was used to seeing the super high looks of ship girls. But when facing Hao, it was different. This girl was so dazzlingly beautiful that Lin Xiao actually felt his heart beating.

In addition, although she has the figure and appearance of an older sister, she has the personality of a girl. She is innocent and gentle, yet lively and smart. Who wouldn't love such a girl?

Of course, the most important point is that as the ship that Lin Xiao drew out before he completely turned into a salted fish, Hao’s training level and favorability were naturally maxed out. And for a ship girl with such a charming ship outfit and powerful enough, what reason is there for her not to get married?

To put it bluntly, the girl in front of him who made his heart beat was his legitimate wife.

Lin Xiao kept eating the biscuits in front of him, and his mind couldn't help but start to have some random thoughts.

"Commander... do you like the cookies made by Hao?"

Hao had never expected such a scene. Although she was quite confident in her cooking skills, there were many ship girls in the port area who were proficient in cooking and making snacks. It was not necessarily that they were worse than her. Moreover, no matter how delicious a dish was, it was impossible to suit everyone's appetite. Especially since she hadn't cooked it for a long time, Hao was not very confident at first.

It was a pleasant surprise to receive the commander's praise, but she really didn't expect that the commander would like the cookies she made so much.

"...Hmm? Oh, of course. It's really delicious after all."

Lin Xiao came back to his senses and realized that what he said was not perfunctory but sincere.

"Then, I will help the commander bake some every day from now on?"

"it is good……"

Lin Xiao nodded, his eyes shifted a little unnaturally, and he didn't dare to look at the girl in front of him.

The shameless Commander Lin Xiao actually found the feeling he had when he was afraid to even look at the ship girl...

However, such behavior would obviously be misunderstood by Hao. She was not a careless girl, so she was naturally sensitive to the commander's condition. When her eyes fell on the thick pile of books on the table, she immediately understood and said softly: "Commander, are you tired? How about I give you a massage?"

"Massage? Yes, yes!"

Lin Xiao responded naturally, and the beautiful girl walked behind him and placed her petite hands on his shoulders. "Commander, relax a little, don't be so nervous, relax..."

The comfortable feeling, accompanied by an indescribable subtle psychology, made Lin Xiao feel as if he was in the clouds, floating like a fairy. He sighed comfortably from time to time, and gradually immersed himself in this wonderful feeling.

"Oh, that's bad!"

Until the girl behind him suddenly cried out, breaking the beautiful atmosphere, Lin Xiao reluctantly recalled the feeling of being immersed in it just now, and asked aloud: "What's wrong?"

"I was so busy making snacks that I seemed to have forgotten to make tea... Sorry, Commander."

Hao pursed his lips in annoyance. How could he forget this? If he only ate the biscuits, they would be very dry...

"Well, it's okay."

Lin Xiao thought it was something else, but then he suddenly said, "How about I go make tea with you? I'm actually quite interested in the royal tea art..."

Chapter 41: A Heart-to-Heart Talk Between George V and His Sisters

"Eh? Commander, are you interested in the royal tea ceremony? This..."

Hao was obviously stunned for a moment. She had never heard of this from her royal colleagues, and her previous impression of the commander seemed to have no knowledge of tea and didn't care at all.

As long as there is tea and it is not unpalatable, he doesn't care about anything else.

Why now...

"okay."

Although she was doubtful, no ship girl in the port would refuse such an invitation, so Hao readily accepted it. Then she took Lin Xiao to the living room to get tea leaves and a teapot, filled a pot of water, and while making tea, she began to introduce Lin Xiao to the royal tea art.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was actually listening, although he was somewhat absent-minded, but he did take in some of the content. There were so many Royal Ship Girls at home, and especially since he was going to go to the Royal Headquarters in Area E to find the Royal Ship Girls that were stranded outside, he had to understand some of these things.

Of course, it's just a level of understanding.

After making the tea, Hao didn't stay for too long. He said goodbye to Lin Xiao and left.

Lin Xiao looked at the still steaming tea, subconsciously picked up a textbook, flipped through a few pages, but was a little absent-minded.

Little Cookie...she's really cute.

But Lin Xiao, who had always been approached by the ship girls, was obviously not very good at expressing his feelings to them. Although Hao was already a married ship, and they should even be considered an old couple, when it came to the topic of love, Commander Lin Xiao, who already had so many wives, was obviously not as good as an otaku who was reckless enough and had rich theoretical experience. Of course, he felt that the main reason was that the ship girls were too dazzling and too outstanding.

It's like he subconsciously thinks that those kind of perfect girls are hard to pursue. Even to this day, Lin Xiao is still not very good at communicating with such overly idealistic girls.

On the contrary, it is very natural for him to get along with "good brothers" like George V, or ship girls like Long Island and Ark Royal who share the same interests and have quite real shortcomings.

Of course, for people like Noshiro or Helena who are too familiar with each other, and who know each other well, that is another matter. Pure love grows over time, and the sense of distance will naturally disappear.

So to some extent, this might be the best way to conquer Commander Lin Xiao?

I was in turmoil for a while, but eventually I calmed down, just like the steam rising from the tea, which will slowly disappear.

Lin Xiao was indeed not very good at tasting tea. When the tea was warm, he drank half a cup in one gulp, just like a pig chewing a peony. It cannot be said that he was wasting food, but he could only say that he was like Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit.

After smacking his lips carefully, he found that apart from the faint fragrance, he did not feel that there was anything special about it. Lin Xiao was also an experienced person. After all, he began to review it methodically, sorting out the key points in the book bit by bit.

As for Hao, after leaving the office, he returned to the living room alone, sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while, but he was basically in a daze and didn't even notice that the remote control was snatched away by the child at home.

"What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it..."

In the end, it was George V, the elder sister, who noticed that something was wrong with her sister and came over to show some concern.

George V was the eldest brother among the five sisters. He cared a lot about his sisters, or should I say, the only normal sister, Howe. Sometimes he even doted on her and treated her like a child. This actually troubled Howe.

"Sister George V, I think I may not have had enough rest..."

"Why do you say that?"

George V looked at his sister with some surprise. Is it true that the ship girl didn't get enough rest? If you really want to talk about it, it's reasonable to say that she can go without sleep for a week.

"Because, when I went to the commander's office just now..."

Hao looked confused and uncertain, his brows slightly furrowed.

"uh-huh?"

"Why do I feel like the commander... seems to like me a little?"

"..."

George V was silent for a long time before he looked at his sister seriously, "Are you serious?"

"No, I'm not sure... Maybe it's just my illusion, because..."

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

George V shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter what the commander thinks... Well, at least it doesn't matter in our conversation. First of all, I have to make one fact clear..."

"Hao, you are the wedding ship, right?"

"Oh, yes."

"Then why are you troubled by this?" George V was a little confused. "You are already a wedding ship, standing at a height that many ships dream of reaching. No matter what happens between you and the commander, it is fair and just. So what is there to be confused about?"

"This one……"

Hao felt somewhat enlightened, but he also felt that something was not right.

"Let me ask you a question. Do you like the Commander?"

"Of course I like it..."

Hao had no hesitation about this. If he didn't like it, why would he accept the ring? If he didn't like it, why would he carefully prepare cookies for the other person?

"Then just go for it boldly and strive for it."

George V shrugged helplessly, "Don't you understand yet? Because you are the wedding ship, everyone will agree with you no matter what you do. Maybe this example is not a good one, but look at what Ron's reaction was when Cheshire took out the ring that day?"

"As for the feeling you mentioned... there's no need to doubt it. The commander has always cared about you, hasn't he?"

“That’s right…”

Hao nodded, but he always felt that things were different before and now, because before, no matter how much the commander liked her or cared about her, he would only look at her a few more times and say a few more words, never holding hands, never showing such a shy look, and never...

Some of the things about the wedding ship that Hao heard from his sisters these two days still make him feel a little unreal.

Would a commander like that really sleep with the ship girl... together?

Before, Hao would have found this hard to imagine, but after experiencing it personally, it seemed... he was beginning to look forward to it a little.

She is also a marriage ship, so can she do it too?

Well, that seems to be correct.

"Now, there are no more doubts, right?"

George V spread his hands. "Really? Being liked by the commander is obviously a huge advantage. I don't understand why you are so confused and hesitant. If that's the case, you still..."

At this point, George V's expression became a little strange. "You really are a bit like a commander. In that case, you two are really a perfect match."

Chapter 42: Tang Xiaojiu's Request for Help

The discussion between the two sisters ended here. Although George V's words were direct, they did make sense. At least they successfully convinced Howe and made her think that was the case and she became more motivated.

"Okay, do you have any questions? If you are not going to take the initiative to attack, you can also observe Cheshire and Yorktown more often. Although it is common sense that the Royal Knights would disdain such actions, if it is for the sake of strengthening the commander, it is not a problem."
