I, Azure Commander!

Lin Xiao glared at her, but now he didn't have time to care about her. He took the two children to find an empty seat, sat down, and started eating.

Z28, who was still a little reserved, looked at the older sisters around her who were taking care of the destroyers and asking them to be quiet for their meals. For a moment, she felt that this place did not seem like a port area, but more like a kindergarten or an elementary school. Those destroyers did not look like ship girls at all. They looked like ordinary elementary school students, willful, naughty, and living a carefree life.

Is this what a ship girl should look like?

It didn't seem like it... at least not in the way she had imagined.

Even though they still look like children, and although mentally they are no different from normal children, they are ship girls after all... They have to work, right?

If you want to fight against the Sirens, you can't be lazy, right? So many of the ports I've seen are basically managed strictly. Not to mention completely militarized, managing the shipgirls like soldiers, but at least there are basic rules and regulations, daily exercises, meetings, etc. The port's expenses are not small, and you can't just rely on the commander's allowance, so the shipgirls have to go out and earn money.

That's why Z24 wasn't that interested in joining the port area before. Although Z24-sama certainly wasn't lazy and didn't want to do these things, she just simply felt that there was no point in doing so, or it should be said that she couldn't think of a reason to do these things.

I reluctantly joined the port area, just because I didn't want to lose my friend Z28...

However, the port area before her seemed different from what she had imagined.

"Why, buttered toast doesn't suit your taste?"

Lin Xiao, who had already started eating, noticed that the newcomer from the Hong Kong area had not started eating for a long time. He couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at him and asked with concern.

"No...no, I...I mean, I...I'm just a little bit uncomfortable with it."

"That's it..."

Lin Xiao nodded in understanding. After all, he had just joined the Hong Kong area, so this was normal.

"But if you don't like these things, you should tell the commander. The breakfast in the port is very rich. There are also rice porridge, fried dough sticks and steamed buns. If you want to eat noodles, you can order them. There are also fried eggs and steaks, or chocolate cakes and so on."

"Chocolate cake?"

Z24 swallowed visibly.

"Yeah, how about it, do you want to eat?"

Although he was asking, Lin Xiao got up and went to the kitchen to get out a large piece of chocolate cake. These desserts that children would like are always available at home.

"Give."

Z24 looked at the cake in front of her, which was emitting an extremely tempting aroma, and couldn't help swallowing. After hesitating for a long time, she took the fork handed to her by the commander and started eating, and soon she showed a happy smile.

Lin Xiao looked at Z24 and a smile appeared on his lips. In comparison, Z28 was much more reassuring. He ate very happily, but seemed a little anxious and almost choked himself.

Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the kid might be hungry. Z28 finished his meal quickly and got off the table. He stood in front of Lin Xiao with great energy, gave a standard military salute, and then said seriously, "Commander, please give us today's mission."

"Ah? What mission?"

Lin Xiao was completely stunned and looked at the child in front of him with confusion.

"Eh?" Z28 seemed even more confused than him and blinked. The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment.

"There are no missions in our port area."

After a while, Lin Xiao finally reacted and spoke.

"Eh?!"

Z28 and Z24, two newcomers in the port area, raised their voices of doubt at the same time. "But, if there are no jobs, won't the port area be very poor? I heard that some port area commanders are lazy and never take the initiative to accept commissions. As a result, either the ship girls take the commissions themselves, or everyone lives on porridge and pickles...ah, I'm definitely not saying that the commanders are lazy, that, I..."

Z28 seemed a little incoherent. Lin Xiao smiled slightly, patted the kid's head, and said, "It's okay, Z28. Maybe you just joined the port and don't know that your commander is a nobody."

"..."

Z28 opened his mouth halfway and remained in a daze for a long while.

Z24 was also obviously shocked. "So, we don't need to work from morning till night?"

"Of course not."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he put down the cutlery in his hand, and Sheffield next to him immediately began to clean the table in front of him.

"But this depends on your own ideas. If you have this intention, the port will accept the commission and they will issue a notice to recruit ship girls who want to go. Then you can decide the number of places by rolling dice or playing rock-paper-scissors. As for the sea area alert... This matter is more dangerous and you may encounter sirens. It is better to leave it to the sisters at home."

Z24 was completely dumbfounded by what she heard. So even if they want to work, they still have to be lucky and win the rock-paper-scissors game?

She even wanted to ask, "What's the point of you bringing us back? Do we look good if we leave it there?"

This was obviously very different from what she had seen and heard before. He was obviously an extremely powerful commander, which could be seen just by looking at the number of members in the port area. However, such a big boss was not a bald man but a salted fish?

So weird...

"So, what do people in the harbor usually do?"

Z28 asked with some curiosity and confusion.

"Adults still have some things to do, mainly port operations and the preparation of daily necessities. Children just need to have fun for now... Aren't you friends of Z26 and Z36? Have you ever played together?"

"Of course there is..."

Z28 turned her head away feeling somewhat guilty. In fact, of course, she didn't do that. She just simply asked for help. They had not met very often, so naturally she didn't know much about him.

"Okay, now that you're done eating, go do your own thing. If you feel bored, you can walk around on the deck, or go into the water and sail nearby. Don't worry about wasting resources. But don't run too far, be careful not to get lost or run into a siren."

Lin Xiao stood up while giving instructions, stretched his body, and prepared to go to the deck to bask in the sun...

Chapter 59: Rich and Diverse Port Area

When he arrived on the deck, the maid seemed to have anticipated that he would want to bask in the sun today, and had already prepared a lounge chair on the deck of the cruise ship, with a drink next to it that had obviously just been served.

But at this time, both the lounge chair and the drinks seemed to have been occupied by cuckoos.

The little fox curled up in the recliner, took a sip of the drink in his hand, and sighed comfortably.

“It’s so nice not having to go to work…”

By the way, she had been working as an instructor at the Naval Academy before, but now that the port area has moved, she can't continue to work in Lombardy City. Several other girls in the family who served as honorary instructors have all resigned.

I guess because of this matter, Wales will have a headache for a while, and it is possible that they will even harm Rodney from Tang Xiaojiu's family.

Of course, Lin Xiao wouldn't care about these things. After all, this was Wales's own problem, and it was also her job as the dean...

"Is that why you took my lounge chair and drink?"

"Isn't it okay?"

The little fox raised his head and looked at him with a slightly cunning look. "At worst, I can exchange it for something else. Besides, I'm not refusing to let you sit."

"You..."

Lin Xiao walked forward and picked up the little fox, then lay comfortably on the recliner, with the little fox on her body. Although her figure was not petite, she was very thin and didn't weigh much.

While basking in the sun, she reached out to rub the fox's ears. Of course, her evil hands were quickly ruthlessly slapped away. The little fox looked up from her arms and rolled his eyes at her. The slightly angry expression made her look cute, but she really couldn't look fierce.

When Z28 and Z24 walked by the deck in the distance, they looked at this side secretly with shocked eyes, and quickly ran away. It was not known whether they were shy or they did not dare to continue to peek at the commander's "privacy".

The little fox didn't care about these. Although those two were new kids joining the port, all the ship girls in this port were already very accustomed to this. Or it should be said that they had experienced it too many times, so they didn't have any concerns about the addition of newcomers and just went on with their lives as usual.

The fox has a lot of fun rubbing itself, but it cannot rub too much, otherwise it will suffer. It suffers during the day and even more at night.

After basking in the sun for a while, Lin Xiao generously gave the lounge chair to Jiang Feng, and walked into the cabin to check on the children at home.

The little fox took out a fishing rod from somewhere and started his daily fishing routine.

Looks like I can have a snack at noon today...

The cruise ship was not sailing very fast because the port was not too far from Lombardy. Not long after lunch, we could almost see the outline of the port.

Moving is naturally the top priority today.

There are a lot of furniture and daily necessities stored on the cruise ship, as well as everyone's luggage. It is undoubtedly not an easy task to organize and pack them up. It seems that yesterday's busyness will have to continue today. Of course, with yesterday's experience, Lin Xiao will not think about helping this time.

The two maids made it a priority to clean his room and office. The other ship girls were basically cleaning their own rooms, even the children. Z24 and Z28 even helped other companions clean up after cleaning their own rooms.

However, the two lazy guys, Changdao and Prince Adalbert, did not take the time to tidy up their rooms. They did try but not completely. They even knocked on the door and dragged Lin Xiao in to do the hard labor.

But what could three lazy guys accomplish? Soon Sheffield couldn't stand it anymore, so he drove them all out and entered the room alone. In just a few minutes, when he opened the door again, the room was already clean and tidy.

Is she the best cleaning lady among the royal maids? Her cleaning skills are praised by Belfast, so they are not to be underestimated.

Naturally, he sighed and praised the maid's cleaning skills. Even though she was a three-no maid, she still blushed slightly when praised by the commander, and then hurried away, as there were still many things to deal with in the port.

Lin Xiao, Nagashima and Prince Adalbert stayed in the room playing games until four o'clock in the afternoon. As the sky outside the window gradually darkened, Lin Xiao had the idea of ​​going for a walk around the port area.

Dragged along Changdao and Prince Adalbert, although Lin Xiao and Prince Adalbert had visited the port area last time, it was only a semi-finished product before. Many places had not been built, and the built places were relatively rough. Now, after such a long period of construction and polishing, it has naturally changed a lot.

The scale of the port area is indeed very large, so large that even if there are dozens of ship girls living in the port area, it will feel a bit deserted. With this scale, even three or four hundred ship girls can be accommodated.

Then there are various types of buildings. The office buildings and canteens are built very grandly, but the decoration style is relatively restrained, commonly known as low-key luxury.

Next to the office building are various dormitory buildings, some with different camp styles, as well as a new comprehensive dormitory building added at Lin Xiao's request.

With the current number of ship girls in the port area, if they were to live directly in the dormitory buildings of their respective camps, some camps would be too deserted, so it would be better for them to all move to the comprehensive dormitory building first. When the number of ship girls in a camp increases and most people have arrived, they can move into their own dormitory buildings.

Of course, if there are those who are unwilling, then it is up to them to choose, it doesn’t matter.

There is a large open space between each dormitory building, which is very well greened. There is also a part of the land left unplanted, where girls can plant their favorite flowers.

In addition to these buildings, there is naturally a small teaching building, but Lin Xiao has not yet told the children at home what it is used for. There are also many outdoor sports equipment, including an extra-large outdoor swimming pool.

In addition to the outdoor areas, there is also a dedicated stadium with basketball courts, volleyball courts and other venues, as well as an indoor swimming pool.

Finally, there is a three-story building specially used for entertainment. It is not tall, but it covers a large area. A lot of toys have been purchased inside. The second floor is equipped with a lot of computers and game consoles, including small handheld game consoles and large game consoles like those in video game arcades. The third floor is a gym with various fitness equipment. Of course, they are all specially customized and are much heavier and more sturdy than ordinary fitness equipment.

In addition, there are also many small buildings that are made to look like shops. They can be used to turn into bars, cafes, or canteens, giving children a place to buy snacks. If they study well, they can get points coupons as rewards to exchange for snacks.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you are not good at studying. Give the Commander a kiss, and the Commander will generously reward you with extra points coupons...

Volume 6: How to Serve as a Royal Maid

Chapter 1 Preparation before departure

Before I knew it, it has been almost a week since I moved to the new port area.

During this week, everyone has slowly become familiar with the port area. Our own port area is different after all. It has more space and more freedom. We no longer have to worry about others watching us, and the children don’t have to worry about accidentally hurting others when playing.

Of course, although no one will be hurt, if something is broken, the child will definitely be given a good lesson and some snacks will be deducted as punishment.

Z24 and Z28 finally adapted to the port area, especially Z24. After realizing how free the port area is, he completely threw off his disguise and no longer had to suppress his true nature.

Lin Xiao still remembered how hard it was for him to hold back his laughter when he first saw that kid proudly calling him the Demon King.

Naturally, Z24 and the current chuunibyou Z36 get along very well. The two of them can be considered to have a kind of... mutual admiration relationship? Of course, they both think they are the strongest. As for the clash of the chuunibyou worlds, Lin Xiao, an older youth, naturally doesn't understand much. He only knows that these two children are very cute. When they are in a chuunibyou state, he will hug them and rub them. Even if they are in a chuunibyou state, they will soften and say a few tough words, but in fact they don't struggle at all, allowing the commander to hold them comfortably. If they happen to meet other children present, they will show a smug look, which makes people laugh and cry.

After this week, other affairs of the port area have gradually been put on track. Several secretaries have divided the work and cooperated to manage the port in an orderly manner. Tasks including the allocation of entrusted quotas and outbound purchases have also been properly arranged.

In addition, Aunt Saint also fulfilled her original promise. After finishing her work at the company, she rushed back to the port area and took her sister Helena to accompany the commander. This pair of sisters is the most lethal. The elder sister is passionate and skilled, while the younger sister is shy and cute. Occasionally, she will show some strange state, showing boldness that is no less than her sister.

Even if they are taken separately, the combat power of the two is not low. Although they are not as good as Sirius, they are definitely not ordinary people. If the two of them are combined, they will be very powerful.

This is by no means as simple as 1+1=2. After all, think about it, no matter how powerful a person is and how high the damage is, the attack distance is always limited. But two people can attack from the front and back, from left and right, and from top and bottom at the same time. This is the reason why they say two fists are no match for four hands.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't care about these details. He had never won anyway. The only difference was how quickly and miserably he lost...

However, rest time is limited after all, and Lin Xiao cannot stay in the port area forever. After graduating from the Naval Academy, obtaining the official commander's certificate, and the new port area was built, he finally had a proper place to stay and went to Area E to look for the royal ship girls. This was something he had decided long ago. He had been delayed for so many days just to wait for the daily life in the port area to stabilize and to take time to accompany the ship girls at home. Now a week has passed, and it is almost time to set off.

Of course, the reason why Lin Xiao chose to leave was not that simple. There were naturally more complicated reasons, such as his physical condition was not enough. Another example was that with the official move into the port area, the previously mentioned plan of putting the children into school should naturally be officially implemented. Recently, the college has been almost ready, and the tentative candidates for teachers have been selected, and they are just waiting to announce the news and send the children in.

However, it is conceivable that such news, which is like a bolt from the blue for children, is naturally not likely to be welcomed by them. Once the news is officially announced, the children who are unwilling to accept the reality will definitely cry and make a fuss, making the entire port area restless. In particular, as the commander, he is the target of "concentrated fire". There are also many naughty children who have evil intentions and want to act cute with the commander and not go to school in exchange for a few kisses.

Lin Xiao admitted that he could not withstand the continuous attacks from the cute kids and would definitely feel soft-hearted, but he could not just give up on the plan to send the naughty kids to school after preparing for such a long time, so although he felt a little regretful, he could only run away quickly.

And from the moment Lin Xiao announced this decision at the meeting on the secretary ship, there was no doubt that a new round of battle was about to begin.

Moreover, this time is different from the previous times. The journey to Area E can be said to be unprecedentedly long. There are many dangerous sea areas on the way that cannot be easily set foot in. There are many places where detours are required. The time of going back and forth, plus the time of finding people, it is possible that you may not come back until half a year. Even if everything goes well, the fastest time will probably take three or four months.

Naturally, no one wants to be away from the Commander for such a long time, so the chance to accompany the Commander on this trip is particularly important.

"How many ship girls are you going to take with you this time, Commander?"

Noshiro asked with a hint of meaning.

"How many people should we bring? We are just going to look for people. We don't need to bring too many people, right?"

"That won't do!"

Tiancheng shook his head hurriedly. "This time is different from the past... The longer the journey, the more variables there are, and the more attention must be paid to safety. In addition, the storage of supplies must be sufficient. Although we can dock for supplies from time to time, we must also consider the situation where we cannot be resupplied due to harsh environments or emergencies..."

"In short, my Lord, you must bring enough people and make sufficient preparations for this trip."

"I think so, my child."

Even Frederick the Great looked at him seriously, with a look of admiration but also a bit of worry in his eyes.

"..."

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know how to refute them, so he simply didn't refute them and asked back, "Then how many people do you think should be brought with us?"

"We must have people responsible for the protection. Three or four is not enough. In addition, someone has to cook. Let's take the two maids with us to take care of the commander's life. It's a good opportunity for us to go back to our hometown. If you calculate it this way, there should be at least ten people..."
