I, Azure Commander!

He rubbed little Tiancheng's head affectionately, feeling her furry ears jumping in his palm, and covered her with the quilt.

"Ah."

Xiao Tiancheng didn't say anything else, but just squinted his eyes comfortably, stretched out his little hands to hug the master's waist, and curled up his little body in his arms.

Sheffield was facing away from them at this time, his body had been stiff for quite a while, and he seemed to be relieved at last. He turned off the lights, pulled a corner of the quilt over his body casually, and lay down with his back to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at her back, as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment he couldn't remember what to say. Slowly, he felt sleepy. Holding the soft little Tiancheng in his arms, he closed his eyes unconsciously and fell into a deep sleep.

One night passed quickly.

The next morning, what woke Lin Xiao up was the crisp sound of the curtains being opened and the dazzling sunlight coming in from the window.

Rubbing his eyes, little Amajo was still curled up in his arms and sleeping soundly, while Sheffield seemed to have gotten up long ago and changed into a maid outfit. There was a tray on the table that came from somewhere, with a simple breakfast on it.

"You are so lazy, Master."

Turning back to find that Lin Xiao had woken up, Sheffield was expressionless as always, and said mercilessly: "Just now I was thinking that if you don't wake up, I will have to use my double guns to help you a little."

Although she said this, she still came over to help uncover the quilt, handed over the new clothes she bought on the street yesterday, then woke up little Tiancheng, took a comb and started combing the yawning little guy's hair.

Maybe this is why every commander dreams of having a royal maid?

Of course, it has to be a reliable maid like Sheffield. If it were Suffolk or Kent, well, let alone taking care of them, the commander would probably have to take care of them instead.

After a simple wash and breakfast bought by Sheffield, Lin Xiao looked at the time. It was already half past nine in the morning.

At this time, the ship girls of the Maritime Administration should have already gone to work, right?

Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door. "Senior Lin, are you awake? It's time to go find the director of the Maritime Administration..."

The person outside the door was naturally Fang Kang. Come to think of it, he seemed to be doing his first construction today. No wonder he was so excited.

As for the title of "senior"... Although strictly speaking Lin Xiao was not a formal commander, and he was probably in the same class as him when he entered the Naval Academy, he already had two ship girls before he entered the school, and he was two or three years older than Fang Kang, so it was natural for Fang Kang to call him "senior".

"coming."

Lin Xiao straightened his clothes, then opened the door and walked out.

Outside the door, Du Ming was yawning, obviously he had just woken up not long ago. Hornet was still full of energy, but the big fighting dog seemed to have no enthusiasm, with his head drooping and looking listless. He was probably a little grumpy after waking up.

"Are you all awake? I'll take you to the cafeteria... Well, don't worry, the Royal Navy ship girl is not the one cooking today. I've already informed the director. After you finish your meal, I'll take you to see her... Eh?"

Miao Gao, who was walking over while saying this, suddenly showed a look of surprise, obviously seeing Sheffield standing behind Lin Xiao.

"Miss Sheffield, how are you...?"

Miao Gao was halfway through his words when he seemed to realize something and immediately looked at Lin Xiao with eyes as if he was looking at a ghost.

Could it be that Miss Sheffield was rescued by someone?

No way? That's Miss Sheffield!

The rumors outside were all sorts of mess and exaggerated, but they didn't get to the point, and it was impossible to know the true situation of this Miss Sheffield.

But the people in their Maritime Administration know about it.

After all, when Miss Sheffield first came to Shuibo Port, she took a lot of commissions from them, and including the opening of a store later, she also needed to report to the Maritime Administration.

The rumors about the Royal Ship Girl and the rich woman are not the point at all.

The real point is that this Miss Sheffield's training level is... so high that it's a little scary.

Level one hundred and twenty!

God knows how wonderful the expressions of the several ship girls present, including her, were when they heard this number.

To be honest, it has been more than ten years since Myoko was born on the sea and became a free ship girl. Not to mention that she has a stable job now, but when she was still working hard, she was running around for commissions every day, and often exchanged fire with Siren ships. She even went to the front line and faced Siren ship girls directly. She never slacked off in exercises and participated in every one of them and gave her all every time. It can be said that she is experienced.

However, even so, her training level has just reached level 70, and she has only broken through twice. She has not saved enough money to buy resources to break herself fully. Even if she is the director of their Shuibo Port Maritime Bureau, she must have broken through fully, but her training level is only in the eighties. He is a veteran who retired from the front line and was a master on the battlefield back then.

As for this Miss Sheffield, her maximum level of training is as high as 120, which is simply terrifying!

You know, the higher the level of the ship girl, the harder it will be to improve, especially after level 100, it is even more difficult. The short twenty levels from level 100 to level 120 are much more difficult than growing from level 1 to level 100!

It is precisely for this reason that a ship girl at the maximum level of 120 is even rarer. The existence of such a strategically significant ship girl itself is a military secret, and the number of them is unknown, but it is said that there are only a few in the entire world. Their strength is completely incomparable to that of the ship girls at levels 70 or 80. Even the ship girls at level 100 are as fragile as children in front of them.

Before meeting Miss Sheffield, the knowledgeable Myoko had seen quite a few level 100 ship girls and even knew a few of them, but she had never met a level 120 ship girl. It is easy to imagine her respect for Miss Sheffield.

Such a powerful being must have seen all kinds of things in the world, and would not be surprised even if Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes. In addition, he is used to being alone, which is very different from those girls who were just born. Logically speaking, no matter how excellent the commander is, it is difficult for him to catch her eye.

In fact, countless commanders who have flocked to Shuibo Port following rumors over the years have proved this point with their own failures. Among them, there are several real bosses who own more than two fleets of ship girls, a prosperous port area, and assets worth billions, but they still cannot catch the eyes of this man and can only return home helplessly.

But now, that Miss Sheffield, that big shot with a full level of power, was actually picked up by someone? !

Chapter 35 The Director's Invitation

In fact, as early as yesterday, when Lin Xiao appeared in front of her with Xiao Tiancheng, Miao Gao knew that this commander was no simple man.

Xiaotiancheng, a purple-skinned elite battlecruiser, and it’s a small boat. Its rarity is higher than some super rare gold skins, and it was unexpectedly obtained by a newbie who has not yet become an official commander.

But no matter how surprised he was, Miao Gao never expected that the "strength" of this newbie would be so terrifying!

She recalled what happened last night. It seemed that she suggested that they go to the commercial street for dinner yesterday. After all, Miss Sheffield's hotel was also located there.

So, this guy got Miss Sheffield during a meal? He even brought her back to the dormitory and slept in the same bed with her that night?

This is simply... horrible!

Myoko had heard many rumors about European commanders before. For example, there was a freshman at the Naval Academy who became famous in Area C not long ago. It seemed that he was just about to enroll this year. When he went to take the assessment, he already brought two ship girls with him. What's even more outrageous is that after passing the assessment, he went to the Naval Academy to register and check out the place, and took away the instructor of the Naval Academy. It was simply outrageous.

And the guy in front of me doesn't seem much inferior now. You, Sheffield, have huge assets and strong strength, but you have no appearance, so stay away from strangers?

Give me the time it takes to eat a meal and I can cure you into obedience and make you call me master obediently.

"Good morning, Miss Myoko. Well, I am here to say hello on behalf of my rude master."

"You two... did you know each other?"

Lin Xiao showed a look of surprise.

"Of course I know him..."

Myoko's expression was a little complicated. Although there was no mandatory requirement, most of the free ship girls would basically report their information to the Maritime Administration if they planned to stay in a place for a long time. After all, the free ship girls could only go to the Maritime Administration to accept commissions and make a living.

"Ms. Myoko, please don't worry about me. My master and his friends seem to need the help of Miss Director."

"Oh, by the way...I'll take you to the cafeteria now."

Miao Gao came back to his senses and calmed down his shocked mood. He then led the way, leading everyone to the cafeteria.

When she arrived at the cafeteria, she said hello and left in a hurry, probably to find the director to share this important event.

Lin Xiao and the other two had already eaten, so there was no need to eat a second time. Xiao Tiancheng did buy some desserts and snacks, and ate them with relish.

Miao Gao left in a hurry and came back just as quickly. Fang Kang and Du Ming had just finished their breakfast and were about to eat when she came back in a hurry.

"This... Mr. Commander."

She was a little embarrassed to find that she seemed to not remember Lin Xiao's name. She found that there was nothing in front of Lin Xiao and Sheffield, and immediately asked in confusion: "What's wrong, is the food in the cafeteria not to your liking?"

"not like this......"

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Sheffield had already bought breakfast for us, so we had already eaten. Besides... my name is Lin Xiao."

"Okay, Commander Lin Xiao."

Miao Gao's face became more and more embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "In this case, we can't handle your affairs at the same time. Why don't Commander Lin Xiao come with me to meet the director first? Hmm... She seems to want to talk to you."

"Eh?"

Lin Xiao was naturally surprised when he heard this. Director, why do you want to talk to him?

He obviously didn't know what a fully upgraded level 120 ship girl meant in this world.

"Okay, let's go there now."

Although I was a little confused, he is the director after all, so I can't neglect him. I have nothing to do here anyway, so I might as well go over and take a look.

Lin Xiao immediately stood up and followed Miao Gao, followed closely by Sheffield. Xiao Tiancheng held the dessert in one hand and held it in his arms with the other hand, picking up an egg tart and stuffing it into his mouth, eating while quickly catching up with him with his short legs.

Following Miao Gao all the way to the door of the director of the Maritime Bureau, Miao Gan finally stopped and said, "The director is inside. Um... If possible, can Miss Sheffield and Xiao Tiancheng wait here for a while? The director wants to talk to Commander Lin Xiao alone."

Sheffield frowned. It wasn't that she didn't trust the director of the Maritime Bureau. After all, they knew each other, and the Maritime Bureau would never hurt a commander. There was no need to worry about safety. It was just that... as a maid, it was better for her to follow her master in such occasions. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, at least it could help to hold up the occasion.

Besides, her master now seems to be no longer the workaholic who could complete all the work of the entire port area by himself. He seems to have forgotten many things, and I don’t know if he still remembers some things related to work. At this time, as a maid, she should support and help her master...

However, Sheffield did not refuse directly. She did not say anything, but just looked at Lin Xiao inquiringly.

She is just a maid, so of course she will listen to her master as to what to do.

Lin Xiao looked at Sheffield's gaze, hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted Sheffield on the shoulder, and then said, "Okay, Sheffield, and Xiao Tiancheng, you wait here for me, I'll be out soon."

Although he was just a newbie, although he was a little nervous and not quite sure how to face the director of the Maritime Administration, and had no idea what the director wanted to talk to him about, although he also knew that if Xie Fei followed him, perhaps things would go much more smoothly, but... this was actually a rare opportunity for him to train himself.

Being responsible for communicating with the Maritime Administration and any personnel outside the port area is part of the commander's duties.

So, after saying this, he took a deep breath, slowly pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

"Squeak-"

As the office door was closed, Myoko said to Sheffield and Amagi, who were looking at each other in bewilderment, "Please follow me and sit in the next room. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for long... probably."

Chapter 36: A level 120 ship girl, is that very powerful?

Walking into the director's office, the room was very simply decorated. Apart from a huge desk, there was only a sofa, a bookcase, a coffee table, some tea sets and a small can of tea.

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at the ship girl in front of him who was sitting in the chair behind the desk and looking at him.

He has dark brown hair, cherry red eyes, and wears a pair of glasses. He looks very amiable.

Is this the director of the Shuibo Port Maritime Bureau?

Although he had long known that the directors of the Maritime Administration were all ship girls, but when he thought of such an important position as the director, the image of a serious middle-aged uncle always appeared in his mind, and he felt a little nervous. Now that they had finally met officially, seeing this big sister who looked very gentle, Lin Xiao's nervousness was immediately relieved a lot.

"You are Commander Lin Xiao, right?"

The director in front of him greeted him with a smile and said, "I am London, the lead ship of the London-class heavy cruiser. I am currently the director of the Maritime Bureau in Shuibo Port."

"Well, hello, Chief..."

Lin Xiao still seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"You don't have to be so nervous, sir."

London smiled, pointed to the sofa and said, "Please sit down first. I specially asked Miss Miao Gao to find you in advance because I have something to tell you."

"Please go ahead, Chief."

Lin Xiao sat on the sofa, waiting for the other party's next words.

"I heard that your Excellency picked up Miss Sheffield, who runs a hotel on the commercial street, last night?" London didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Yes... Director, do you also know Sheffield?"

Lin Xiao probably guessed something. Judging from Miao Gao's previous reaction, Sheffield was likely to have met this director.

"Of course. When Miss Sheffield first came here, she helped me a lot..."

London nodded, but seemed a little doubtful.

She paused for a moment before finally gritting her teeth and asking the real question, "Excuse me for asking you something, Commander Lin Xiao. Do you know how skilled Miss Sheffield is now?"

"Um...of course I know this."

Lin Xiao shook his head in bewilderment. How could a commander not know the training level of his own ship girl? Besides, Sheffield was "trained" by him all the way, from the back house to the class, from the attack to the breakthrough, including the configuration of the equipment, all were done by him alone.

"Aren't you... surprised?"

London was a little confused.

From observing Lin Xiao just now, she also thought that the new commander did not know the detailed information about Sheffield yet.

"Ah, well, this is a bit surprising..."

Although he felt there was nothing to be surprised about, Lin Xiao still said it in agreement.

"Ugh--"

London looked at him for several seconds, and finally sighed, his expression becoming more serious. "Commander Lin Xiao, do you know what a fully trained and fully broken ship girl means?"

Lin Xiao shook his head in confusion. Du Ming seldom talked about this aspect, so he really didn't know much about it.

"Let me tell you this..."

London thought for a moment and said, "Do you know who is the current director of the C Zone Maritime Administration?"
