I, Azure Commander!

Lin Xiao was holding the little swans in both hands and little Beifa in his right hand, which made others envious.

Becoming the center of attention seemed to be commonplace for both Lin Xiao and the other ship girls, and there was nothing strange about it. Ignoring the constant glances from all around, Lin Xiao took the children straight to the point, walked to the first clothing store, went straight to the children's clothing area, and started letting the children choose clothes.

After all, it is a large shopping mall with a wide variety of clothes. The children's clothing area also has more than just ordinary and simple clothes. There are beautiful princess dresses, cute berets... all kinds of exquisitely designed clothes are endless, and the dazzling array makes the children dazzled for a while.

Our life during that period was basically supported by the gold in Edinburgh. Although it was definitely enough to live on, there were so many people, so there was naturally not much surplus. We would buy clothes for the children, but it was impossible to bring all the children to such a high-end clothing store to choose freely.

Even though they were ship girls and even though they were children, they were still girls after all and had no resistance to beautiful clothes. The adorable children immediately opened their eyes wide and began to choose in the store. When they saw something they liked, they ran over and tugged at the commander's clothes. Lin Xiao then asked Sirius to take the children to the dressing room to try them on. Each of them came out as a pretty little princess, turning around in a circle on the spot, instantly making everyone fall in love with them.

However, everyone was happily choosing their new clothes, even Abercrombie was no exception. However, the little swan seemed to be in some kind of distress. After entering the dressing room, he did not change his clothes, but walked out very disappointed, with tears in his eyes, which was heartbreaking to see.

"What's the matter, little swan?"

"Commander, wuwu~"

The little swan trotted over and hugged the commander's waist, tears streaming down her face. "Little swan is really too fat. She can't wear any of her pretty clothes anymore."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously focused his eyes on a part that was obviously squeezed a little.

Silly boy, I don’t think the question is whether you are fat or not…

Lin Xiao showed a somewhat helpless expression. There was no other way. Little Swan was like this. She had to get clothes a few sizes bigger, or simply choose adult sizes and then ask the girl at home to trim them a little.

Anyway, I comforted the little swan and finally calmed her down. After asking the clerk, I helped her get the largest size of children's clothing. Even so, there were only a few pieces that could fit her. The traitor in the destroyer was indeed worthy of his reputation...

When little Gaga saw it, he exclaimed it was impossible!

Chapter 39: Starting Again

I accompanied the children to buy clothes and most of the day passed. At noon, we had a meal in the mall. Of course, we did not go to the Royal Restaurant, but to the Free Iris Restaurant next door.

Speaking of which, there don’t seem to be many Free Irises and the ship girls who maintain the Holy See at home now. There is only one Horror at the moment. How about going to Area F for a walk later?

I feel like it's worth considering. Anyway, I'm already here, and the process of finding someone in Area E was quite smooth, so I have relatively ample time now. Even if I go to Area F, I should still be able to go home before Christmas.

But then again, the day is really getting hotter and hotter...

As the season approaches midsummer, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and people are wearing less and less clothes. Although Lin Xiao's physique is very different now, and even after finding these royal ship girls, he has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before, he can't turn into a human air conditioner and is not afraid of cold or heat.

In fact, even the ship girls will feel cold and hot. They have to wear cotton-padded jackets when it is cold and use air conditioning when it is hot. The only special thing about them is that they will not get sick. Even if they stay in the snow and ice for several days and nights, they will at most shiver from the cold, but there will be no problems with their bodies.

Lin Xiao is in a similar situation now. In fact, he seems to have never been sick since he came here.

He used to have back pain frequently, but recently his health has improved and his back pain is not so severe anymore. Although he seldom exercises on weekdays, at most he takes a short walk or plays games with his kids at home, his body is getting better and stronger. Sometimes he even wonders if he will be fine if he is hit by a main gun torpedo head-on. However, he is not bored enough to actually try it, and the ship girls will never let him try it.

But I feel like if he continues like this, he'll be invincible...

I used to suffer from back pain frequently and complained a lot. From time to time, I would ask the girl at home to help me with massage to relax. Recently, I have basically completely gotten rid of this problem. Hey, I don’t have to worry about back problems anymore.

Of course, as the saying goes, human power is limited, and the total output is limited. After all, we cannot create things out of thin air. Men are always at a natural disadvantage in some aspects, and there is no way to change this.

In the end, each child bought several sets of clothes they liked, and Ju Paopao was successfully caught by Aunt Hood and spanked a few times. On the way back, he still held the baby in his hands, and sometimes carried it on his shoulders, and he would pull Hood's hair without any memory.

Being naughty is a character trait that cannot be changed. As long as you don't make any big mistakes, even though it may be a little annoying sometimes, the lesson will be over.

The next few days were quite leisurely. I had nothing to do all day long and just wandered around the palace. When I saw children playing, I would go over to play with them. When I saw shy girls, I would go over to tease them, making them blush and their hearts beat fast. When I turned around, they were gone. My life was quite regular. Although my schedule was by no means healthy, there was nothing I could do about it. After all, it was regular, which was pretty good.

He slept less at night, so he would usually make up for it at noon. Sometimes he would just lie on the sofa, on the soft thighs of the maid, and take a nap for a while. Sometimes he would go back to his room to sleep. At this time, he would often grab a child to sleep with him. He would have an especially sweet nap while holding the cute child. Of course, if Sheffield or Newcastle happened to be on duty that day, he might not need to grab a child and could just sleep holding the maid.

The poor maid not only had to make the bed and help him take off his clothes and change his shoes, but she also had to strip herself like a little lamb and send herself into the wolf's mouth to be held like a pillow.

Although accompanying the owner to take a nap is not a chore at all.

Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, I had been resting in the palace for several days. Calculating the time, it was almost time to set out again to look for the ship girl at home.

But this time, of course, he couldn't set out with all the ship girls in the palace to the next city like he did before. That would be too troublesome and inconvenient to find people. Most of the ship girls would stay here, and Lin Xiao would only take a few of them to find people.

As for who to take... Little Biscuit has been a big hit in the commander's eyes recently. They are still in the passionate love period. When the love between boys and girls reaches its peak, it is the sweetest time. Of course, they will not be separated. Then there are the maids. This time, they are Newcastle and Dido. Originally, he wanted to take Belfast with him, but if Belfast went with Lin Xiao, the maids in the palace would immediately start to find ways to be lazy. Besides, Silly Bai is usually too lazy to take care of things, and Miss Hood is unreliable and only specializes in drinking tea. All the big and small affairs of the royal family still have to be handled by Belfast.

Then there is Cheshire. Lin Xiao didn't consider her when he was thinking about the list before, but this cat is very smart. Even if Lin Xiao didn't say anything, she quickly thought about this and took the initiative to beg dear to take her with him. If he shook his head... that pitiful look would be really unbearable.

The key is that you just pretend to be pitiful. There are many ship girls who pretend to be pitiful in the port area. Lin Xiao has some resistance to them, but this cat-head girl is unreasonable. Not only does she pretend to be pitiful, but she also hugs your thighs, sticks her whole body to you, rubs her face and pinches your shoulders, or hugs your waist and shrinks in her arms, or stands behind you and hugs your neck and sticks to you. In short, she is like two soft cotton balls squeezing up from the front and back, making people gasp. If you let her go on like this, you will have to stand up where you are.

Just bring her. The cat head is also very cute. She is a beautiful cat girl with a huge R, wearing a suspender and white stockings and is passionate. No one would not be moved. However, Lin Xiao prefers to develop his relationship with the ship girl step by step, and he is also relatively single-threaded. He has been playing a love game with Hao recently, so for the time being he will not pay too much attention to other girls.

Of course, the marriage ship that has already been established is another matter. You can't forget the old one just because there is a new one. This is another matter of principle.

There was no big fanfare about it, except to tell a few reliable girls. After Commander Lin Xiao had an early night's sleep with little Beifa in his arms, he gathered the ship girls he was going to take with him early in the morning, had a quick breakfast, and then went out in a low-key manner.

You don't need to buy any tickets. Zone E is so small that you can just drive there. It's relatively convenient. I just hope everything goes smoothly...

Chapter 40: Travels to Little Devil Harbor

The first destination of this trip is Little Devil Port, located in the southwest of Area E.

Although it is not as famous as Remi Port and is not well-known to everyone, Little Devil Port is also one of the most famous ports in Zone E. The most important thing is that it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it can be said to be a complete port city.

Such a pure port city is naturally a very suitable place to live for ship girls. You can directly see the sea in many places. After walking a distance, you can jump directly onto the sea and sail for a while to stretch your muscles.

Naturally, there are many more ship girls here than in other ports, and most of them are free ship girls. Many ship girls like to come here for vacation. After doing commissions for a period of time, they are no longer short of money, and they don’t have any ambitions. They don’t want to improve their training equipment, so they will come here to take a break. Some may only stay for a few days, some for a few weeks or months, and some more incompetent ship girls simply stay here until they run out of money.

Such ship girls basically have no ambitions, and at this stage they are not looking for the type of commander they are. They just want to live their lives in peace and quiet.

There is no doubt that the ship girls in their port area seem to be exactly the same as this third type of ship girls to some extent.

So even though the previously compiled intelligence did not clearly point out the relevant information here, after discussion, everyone decided to come here first to take a look. Maybe a few of their family’s ship girls will come over to "retire"?

Because it sounds too reasonable. The commander is not here, and the ship's life has no goals. What else can he do except to muddle through life?

Since we are just trying to make a living anyway, of course we will choose the most suitable and comfortable place.

Lin Xiao certainly supports coming here to find someone first. After all, this place is said to be a holiday resort. Regardless of whether he can find his own ship girl or not, he can rent a beach after a busy day and relax with the girls. There are sunshine, beach umbrellas, sunscreen, volleyball, and iced juice...

Now that summer has arrived, it is natural to do things that should be done in summer.

Driving by myself was indeed much more convenient than expected. With the commander's certificate, most checkpoints were unobstructed, and there was even a special VIP channel, so there was no need to queue or wait. It only took four or five hours to reach Little Devil Port, and I even had time to have lunch there.

Having said that, I still don't want to try the royal restaurant at all. I went to the local Donghuang restaurant for a meal. It was not very authentic. It should be adjusted according to the local people's taste. But overall the taste was very good. It is definitely not as good as Haitian, but at least it is of a qualified standard and much better than eating royal food.

After finishing the meal, I started looking for people. However, finding people is not an easy task after all. So I remembered the old method and asked around. Sure enough, the sales conference here had not started yet. I immediately found the branch of Saint Aunt’s company here. Sure enough, it had just been settled down not long ago.

In this way, the accommodation problem was also solved. However, despite the pleading of the royal ship girls, the Haitian sisters were not brought over, so they had to find a way to eat by themselves.

None of the ship girls we brought here can cook, so we can only order takeout, for example, tonight we can order some pizza.

While thinking this, Lin Xiao led the ship girls into the building. While he was still looking for the front desk, a staff member came up to him and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Lin Xiao looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of people coming in and out, and there was no staff member coming up to greet each of them. But when he thought about it carefully, it was normal. Although he, the commander, had a loose pace and a dull look in his eyes, and did not have a bright and majestic image, the ship girls behind him were still very conspicuous, and anyone could see that this group of people were extraordinary.

"Yes, but it's not convenient to tell you... just call the person in charge here."

"But……"

In order to save trouble, Lin Xiao directly took out his commander's ID, which was also an officer's ID. When the waitress saw it, she immediately reacted, nodded hurriedly, and went to the front desk to notify them.

Lin Xiao sat on the sofa and waited for a while. Within a few minutes, a young girl in a suit who looked very capable walked towards him.

"Excuse me... is this Mr. Lin Xiao?"

As soon as she got here, she asked.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I am. You should be aware of the work arrangements... But don't make it a book signing event this time. Just say that the author will bring some prototypes of the KanColle characters to participate in the event."

Lin Xiao didn't want to go through another book signing event. To be honest, it was so exhausting...

Although the publicity effect will be relatively weak, it is not a big problem. What is coming will come. Anyway, during this period of time, you can find people to fish in this way. If you can catch fish, the ship girl at home will come over, and things will become simple all of a sudden. If you can't catch fish, then you can find another way...

Lin Xiao knew in his heart that this method would not always work. There would always be some ship girls who were not very interested in these novels. No matter how much you promoted them, they would not even take a look at them. Naturally, they would not know the author's name.

If you don’t know the author’s name, then it’s even more impossible for you to come to this so-called release conference, and everything will be in vain.

But I was just thinking of giving it a try. Anyway, this method doesn't take much time. It only takes one day to get the results. If it doesn't work, I can think of other ways...

Everything was arranged properly, so the launch event was held as scheduled the next day.

Although the promotion time was short, after all, with the foreshadowing in Remi Port before, most people in Zone E now knew about the retrieval and release conference, but they didn't announce the specific schedule, so everyone was waiting blindly. Although this was a bit torturous, it also made them prepared at all times. Therefore, once the news was publicized, it immediately caused an uproar in Little Devil Port.

The overall hype effect was successful. As for whether the last success can be replicated, no one knows at the moment. We will have to wait until the event officially starts tomorrow to find the answer.

Before that, life would naturally go on as usual, living directly in the company building, waiting for tomorrow to come peacefully...

Chapter 41 A Bad Start

Because he has to attend an event tomorrow, Lin Xiao wants to go to bed early tonight.

But there are no children here, so I can’t sleep with the sweet and soft little girl. Although there are even sweeter and softer older girls, there is a price to pay if I want to sleep with them, just like a rose with thorns, which looks beautiful but can hurt people.

It's not impossible to sleep alone, but I'm a little uncomfortable with it.

It’s just like at the beginning Lin Xiao was more accustomed to sleeping alone, and he felt uncomfortable sleeping with the ship girls. Now he is used to sleeping with his wife or sister and daughter, so he feels a little uncomfortable sleeping alone.

After much thought, I could only ask Newcastle for help and let this relatively "safe" maid play the role of the child.

Of course, this is the truth, but one cannot say that. Even if they are maids, they are still young girls in their prime. Although Commander Lin is decadent, he would not really look down on the maids. Proper respect must be shown. When talking to Newcastle, he naturally said all the nice things, even coaxing and deceiving.

What else can Newcastle do?

As a maid, she had to endure the "bullying" of her unreasonable master silently, right? And strictly speaking, maids also had certain obligations. The only thing she was not happy about was that she had not received the ring yet.

I have to sleep with him before we even officially pledged our love. Although I am still happy about it, I can't help but feel a little unbalanced, and I want the ring even more...

Giving out a ring isn't a difficult thing, right? I'm just a little maid, so I don't need any sense of ceremony. Just giving it a ring is enough. I'm satisfied with it. As long as I'm given it, let alone sleeping with it, I can do anything with it... Even if you have some weird XP, any exciting or even perverted ways of playing, I can still accompany you.

Could the shipgirl be afraid of the commander in this regard? That's simply ridiculous...

I had no choice but to be a pillow again for the whole night, but the experience was quite good. By the way, I could wake my owner up directly from the bed in the morning.

As for Lin Xiao, he slept very well, of course. Although he was not without any thoughts about girls like Newcastle, in fact, except for children, basically all the ship girls were within his range of interest. Just like what the silly netizen said, he was not obsessed with mature women or white stockings, nor was he obsessed with legs or feet. He was just simply lustful.

But, a girl with a relatively less plump figure is not as deadly as an older sister with a plump figure.

Just imagine, when you hug a young, growing girl at night, you can feel a soft sensation on your chest, but it is not that obvious and not that stimulating.

But what about the older sister?

The feeling of being almost completely wrapped up in it, and feeling like you'll be suffocated if you're not careful, who can resist it?

Comparing the two, it goes without saying that it is easier to fall asleep while holding a young girl or to stay calm and fall asleep while holding an older sister.

"Don't be in a daze, it's time to get up, Master."

While Newcastle was putting on his little boots, he told Lin Xiao, who was still lying in bed, to get up.

After spending some time together, they were finally less restrained. After tidying up their clothes, Newcastle walked forward without hesitation, slowly lifted one leg of the quilt, and started to unbutton Lin Xiao's pajamas.

Lin Xiao cleared his mind and let her help him take off his pajamas, and then changed into a white shirt.

I have to say, because his skin is very fair, white clothes suit him quite well. He looks capable and energetic, less bookish, but more sunny.

"Yeah, very handsome..."

Newcastle helped him stand up, looked him up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and then supported his back with his hands. "It's just that your back is a little hunched. You should cheer up, Commander."

"well……"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, raised his head and stretched his body. He wanted to turn his neck to exercise, but he was stopped by Newcastle after he turned his fist. The maid walked behind him, stood on tiptoe to help him pinch his neck, and rubbed his shoulders. While pinching, she said: "Don't move like this... Although it can move the cervical spine, it is easy to press on the blood vessels and may cause dizziness."

"That's it..."

Lin Xiao really didn't know about this. He responded and sat on the chair next to him to make it easier for Newcastle to massage him.

The maids are all very proficient in these things. After all, massage is basically a compulsory course for maids. Every maid can do it, and most of them are very proficient in it. They also know the acupuncture points in various places and even know many different massage techniques.

Lin Xiao doesn't move much on weekdays, so his joints or the muscles in his neck and shoulders are often a little stiff. At this time, he asks the maids to help massage them, and he will feel much better and no longer so uncomfortable.

Newcastle helped with the massage for a while, and another maid, Dido, went out to buy breakfast. Everyone gathered together and finished their breakfast. The staff from the company also came and knocked on the door. They just happened to take a special car to attend the event.

Soon they arrived at the venue of the event. After entering through the backstage passage and observing for a while, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly gasp. There were too many people...

How many people were there? It's hard to describe. Anyway, wherever I looked, there were people everywhere. There were at least tens of thousands of people. Even though we had chosen a super large venue, it still seemed very crowded.

But this is not the point. Lin Xiao doesn't care how many people there are. He only cares about whether he can find his own girl.

Unfortunately, unlike the previous time, at least now Lin Xiao did not have the feeling that his own ship girl was at the venue. Although this did not mean that his own ship girl did not come, after all, similar situations had happened before. Facts had proved that not all ship girls had such a strong connection with him. This might be related to the mutual favorability, or it might be related to the training level of the ship girl, or even the status of the ship girl and himself at that time.

If she has already returned to the port and "lit up the illustrated guide" in her mind to re-establish contact, that is another matter. However, for the ship girl who has not yet formally met, the connection between her and the commander can only be said to be more mysterious and unreliable.

All in all, this is not a good start anyway, but the event is about to start, so we can only take it one step at a time...

Chapter 42: Determination to Search

There was not that much time to prepare, as the time for the event had already been arranged. As soon as it started, the protagonist Lin Xiao had to appear on stage to liven up the atmosphere.

Fortunately, Lin was very straightforward and started talking directly, pretending to be aloof and leaving the situation entirely to the host. If there were any questions, he would nod and shake his head, saying "yes, yes", and if there were no problems, he would not say a word.

If it was on a variety show, or some other event like a comic convention or a game convention, a guest's speech like this would certainly be questioned. However, because of Lin Xiao's other special identity - a young and promising naval officer, few people would question him. Even the host was cautious, fearing that if he said something wrong, this high-ranking officer would be unhappy.
