I, Azure Commander!

Hmm... So the KanColle's brain has this function? It feels like I have discovered a new world...

"Master, would you like some coconut milk?" Dido, who was standing next to her, noticed the master's gaze in time and quickly and accurately read the master's thoughts - this is the basic skill and compulsory course for a maid.

“I do want to try it.”

Lin Xiao nodded. The drinks prepared by the maids were of course delicious, but pure natural coconut milk also seemed very attractive.

"Okay, please wait..." Dido nodded, and the next moment she took small steps to the coconut tree and kicked it. Another coconut fell from the sky, this time hitting Kent on the head. The poor little maid was taking a rest and suddenly suffered this unexpected disaster. She let out a cry and rubbed her head.

Although the head is indeed much harder than a coconut and it won’t hurt much if hit by it, your head will still feel “buzzing”.

"......" This scene also made Lin Xiao speechless. Well, we are all in the same industry, and colleagues are all enemies?

Of course, Dido didn't seem to do it on purpose. She should have wanted to catch it herself... or maybe she wanted to catch it with her head, but by accident she hit Kent instead. He then bowed and apologized, then came over with a coconut, put a straw in it, and handed it to Lin Xiao like a treasure.

This girl is so cute...

Lin Xiao smiled and rubbed her head, then took the coconut from her hand. Dido immediately acted like a loyal little puppy, squinting her eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

While drinking coconut, he walked towards the maids. Little Beifa joined them at some point, bringing little Guanghui with him. The two little cuties had a good relationship. Little Beifa liked to take care of little Guanghui. He would wipe her face in the morning and comfort her when she was unhappy...

Although only when the commander hugs one of them, the other will regard the other as an "enemy", and transform from a best friend into a vixen who steals the commander away.

The two children were playing together, Sirius was in a daze, Gloucester was resting quietly, Sheffield was playing with sand and seemed to be trying to build a sand castle, Edinburgh was with her but was clumsy and only made things worse, after watching for a while, Lin Xiao and Sheffield's blood pressure went up.

Curacao and Curlew are more mature. Even when they are resting, they still maintain the elegance and composure of a maid. Finally, there is Glasgow, the girl that Lin Xiao found later. The lonely maid was very down and out. She chose to leave alone because of confusion, and also did not want to go to sea because of confusion. When Lin Xiao found her, she was working as a waitress in a store, doing some work of serving dishes, which can be regarded as specialization.

Fortunately, because she is pretty and has high tasks, and even brings non-performance to the store, her salary is very high. The little maid doesn't spend much money, so she can live a decent life.

However, I still feel confused all day long. When I am not working, I often become dazed, thinking about my master, my previous life, and then I become depressed and absent-minded.

When Lin Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her, she had an expression of surprise and tears on her face. Lin Xiao still remembers it vividly. But to be honest, Lin Xiao didn't really want to meet her.

Come to think of it, she seems to be Sheffield's sister...

"Ah, Commander... By the way, Commander, have you started writing the new volume of the novel? The next plot..."

See, this is why Lin Xiao doesn't want to meet her. This girl is just a maid, but she is very keen on urging her master to update.

In the past, because of autism, he had no contact with the outside world for a long time, and he didn't even read his favorite comic novels. Now that his master has come back, he suddenly found out that his master had actually written a novel, and it was a worldwide hit. Naturally, he started to catch up immediately, and then he couldn't stop. He finished reading it in less than a day, and then he started to urge for updates. He urges him every time he sees it, even when he pours tea, and when he helps wash his face, wipe his back, and change clothes. He is really scared of Lin Xiao's urging.

It's a good thing that she is not a marriage ship, otherwise one day when they are sleeping in the same bed and the atmosphere is very lively, someone suddenly asks "Master, when will you update?", she would be depressed to death.

Of course you don’t have to say that. If that were true, I guess Lin Xiao would be much more diligent.

Who told him to pamper the ship girl at home? He pampered the married ship even more, and blowing pillow talk would definitely work.

After rubbing Glasgow's head and the little maid's soft face, Lin Xiao did not answer and walked straight towards Belfast.

"Master, what is the matter?"

Belfast quickly entered the state of a maid and looked at Lin Xiao. Newcastle was similar, but in comparison, because they had spent a little more time together, and even slept with Sheffield for a night with their master, even if they did nothing, at least they were more familiar with and understood the current commander better. In comparison, they were less restrained and more natural... or it could be said that they were more casual.

"Nothing, I just came to see you guys. Little Beifa asked me to come and keep you company..."

"Bell-chan..."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Belfast's lips. It was a smile of relief and also a kind smile.

"Oh? So, if little Belfast hadn't said that, the master wouldn't have come? That's right, after all, they are just a group of little maids... Belfast is okay, after all, it's a wedding ship, and humble little maids like me, Sheffield, and Glasgow are not even worthy of the master's eyes..."

"How can that be possible?"

Lin Xiao knew that the little maid was jealous, so she gave her a big hug and let the girl's head rest on her chest. Newcastle's face immediately turned red and she collapsed.

You know, she is only wearing a swimsuit now... and Lin Xiao is only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, which is a sure kill.

Then Lin Xiao felt the gazes from Sheffield and Glasgow. These three maid sisters... actually they all like to act coquettishly, right?

I hugged them one by one, and saw three big red faces, so pretty and cute...

Chapter 56: A Leisurely Journey Home

Life at the seaside was so leisurely and interesting. After nearly a week, Commander Lin finally realized that he could not continue to degenerate like this, so he made up his mind to return on the sixth day after they arrived at the island.

Although the ship girls were reluctant to leave, they had played for a few days and that was enough, and no one would question the commander's decision, so they packed up their things and got on board.

Because the process of searching for the ship girls was generally much smoother than originally expected, there was plenty of time for the return trip... or rather, too much time, so that they could have fun and sail all the way, and slowly return.

After all, it is only mid-August now, and there are still more than three months before December, when we were originally scheduled to return home. Even if we go back slowly, it will only be October at most when we get there.

However, it is possible, but there is no need to do so. After all, we have not found all the ship girls yet. Although this trip can be said to be fruitful, we cannot relax and we have to continue working hard.

So Lin Xiao decided to hurry back to the port area. Due to the recent hot promotion of the novel, maybe some of the ship girls will come back on their own. They have already arrived at the port area, so this is entirely possible. In this case, he should naturally hurry back to see them.

Time cannot be wasted. Occasional relaxation and rest is necessary and it doesn't matter. But if you really want to play, you'd better wait until all the ship girls at home come back. When all the ship girls are back, then you can have a leisurely life and do whatever you want. There are so many girls in the port area, you can play cards and games, or go out for a trip. You will never be bored. You can do whatever you want at that time. There is plenty of time.

Having said that, there is no need to work so hard day and night. You should rest when you need to, but you should not waste time when you need to travel. Especially in good weather like today, with the sun shining brightly and the weather being just right, it is naturally a good time to travel.

Lin Xiao got up late as usual. He finally pulled the cat off his body, got out of bed, washed up, and went to the deck to enjoy the gentle sea breeze.

Of course, you have to put on sunscreen and moisturizer on your face. Although Lin Xiao feels that with his current inhuman physique, he probably doesn't need these things just like the ship girls, but the ship girls obviously don't think so. Since they insist, Lin Xiao naturally has no need to refuse. Anyway, he doesn't have to do it himself, the ship girls will naturally arrange everything properly.

For example, today, it was little Beifa who helped him apply sunscreen. Her soft little hands were covered with ice-cold cream, which she applied evenly on his face. The little angel was always very serious and careful when serving, and only after finishing the work would he breathe a sigh of relief and reveal a lovely smile.

Then, naturally, Lin Xiao pulled her over and held her in his arms. He rubbed her face and touched her head for a long time. He was reluctant to let her go until Xiao Guanghui came to "hand over the shift" and Xiao Beifa was able to continue her daily work as a maid.

Even though she was a little maid, she still had to do tasks like cleaning and tidying the room. She had to do whatever the older girls had to do, and there was no special treatment just because she was a child.

After all, if you say you favor children, then Sheffield has something to say, I look like a child too! It's unnecessary to be lazy, but you should at least treat me equally and pick me up and sit on your lap?

Then Suffolk and Kent would surely come and join in the fun, telling lies with open eyes and insisting that they were children too.

No matter what, the head maid won't listen to your excuses. Go back and do your unfinished work. You won't be allowed to eat if you don't finish it.

Belfast was always very strict with lazy maids, even if she was his sister...

Seeing Edinburgh being scolded by Belfast, Lin Xiao, who was lying comfortably on a recliner holding his cute child, couldn't help but shook his head.

Edinburgh is not easy...

Although he had a little sympathy, he naturally couldn't stand up to speak for them, although if he spoke, it would definitely work, and Belfast would have to listen to him and obey him in everything. But since Belfast was the head maid, it was reasonable that the maids should be managed by her, and Lin Xiao had no need to intervene.

Besides, is Edinburgh my wife? No.

What about Suffolk and Kent? Neither... But Belfast is, and isn't it obvious who it's helping?

And for the master with a bad taste, watching the head maid scolding the clumsy or lazy maid seems to be quite interesting.

Well, I always feel like I'm getting worse and worse...

Will the days ahead continue to be so leisurely?

Every morning after getting up and having breakfast, he would lie down on the deck chair, basking in the sun while hugging a loli, playing with his phone or occasionally reading a book. His life was very leisurely. In the afternoon, he would go to play with the ship girls, without a designated one. Today he would play with the children, tomorrow he would play with the girls, and the day after tomorrow he might play with the children again, or he might sit and chat with the older sisters. There was no certainty... but anyway, he would just play. Occasionally, he would get a whim or be urged to update by Glasgow, who would sneak up to him under the pretext of cleaning. Then he would work for a while, maybe for several hours at a time, or he might just open the book and write a few lines before putting down the pen and going out to play building blocks with the children. It all depended on his mood.

Such days are naturally very comfortable, and perfectly meet the expectations of a lazy person like Lin Xiao who has no ambitions. Although he is in a hurry on the road, he is enjoying it.

The only drawback is that it is sometimes bumpy at sea, and after being out for so long, he misses the ship girls who stayed in the port.

I haven’t seen my wife for a long time. Which steering wheel should I use next time?

Should I give her a horn on her head or help her comb her hair into a double ponytail? Anyway, I have tried them all, and the overall experience is pretty good, including the other wedding ships, and the cute children at home, whether little Amagi has eaten well, whether Amagi and the others are too strict with everyone... Including Akagi and Kaga, who used to be seen every day, and it would be awkward to run into each other. Now that I have been out for so long, the impact of some things has faded a lot, and I feel that it is about time to "reconcile" with them. Although the current situation is not considered a breakup, it does not look like a wedding ship that has already risen...

However, the peace did not seem to last as expected. What happened next was something Lin Xiao had never expected...

Volume 7: The Sirens' Hospitality

Chapter 1: Sudden Attack

The sea is calm.

Lin Xiao had spent countless days in such peace and tranquility. Life at sea was as monotonous as ever, but compared to when he came here, it didn't seem so boring because there were many more ship girls.

Since everyone is together, there is always something to do, and there is no need to worry about lack of people when playing cards or mahjong. It is much better than before when only a few people lived in such a large cruise ship.

However, perhaps because the range of activities is too limited, and the life of going from one place to another has been too long, even a very comfortable life would still feel a bit unbearable.

After all, Lin Xiao doesn't look like a ship girl. At least she can jump into the water and sail around the nearby sea. When she comes back, she will immediately be refreshed and her whole state is different.

He could swim, but the ship girls would never agree to let him go into the water.

What if you get bitten by a shark? What if you get swallowed by a passing whale?

Although Lin Xiao felt that these worries were completely unnecessary, if there really was a shark, he should worry about its teeth, but no matter what, dangerous things should not be done. If he had the slightest thought, he would immediately send out the wedding ship and drag the person into the room for a "long talk". After a few times, Lin Xiao no longer mentioned it.

If you think about it carefully, swimming is not like sailing like the ship girls. It is tiring and will make you wet all over. It doesn't seem that interesting either. The main thing is that the kidneys can't take it anymore. If this continues, the kidneys will become the size of small beans.

But it was still boring...so boring that Lin Xiao even started working hard and finished writing one and a half volumes in one go.

This is of course also due to the occasional thinking before. The plot has actually been almost thought out, so it is very smooth to write.

The days passed one by one, and finally, after nearly a month, they returned to the waters of Area C. According to the current speed, they would be home in about three days.

During the time he is away, will any of the ship girls come back?

Lin Xiao couldn't help but start looking forward to it. The popularity of the novel made him full of confidence. He estimated that there must be some, but he didn't know how many there were. Maybe a few, only a few, or maybe there would be more than a dozen or even dozens of them coming at once?

Of course, it is unlikely that dozens of ship girls will come back at once. Many ship girls don't pay attention to these things. Even if they know the novel and the author's name, the ship girls who start to doubt it must first collect information to learn more, right? Well, later on, they became more and more certain that the author of this book was their commander, and decided to at least come and take a look and confirm it. It would take time to rush from all over the world to Area C. It is not surprising that it takes one or two months for remote areas.

But no matter what, as long as a ship girl can come back and find her home, it will be a good thing, and Lin Xiao’s work will not be in vain.

These few nights, it's time to have a good sleep and rest...

Lin Xiao was lying on the deck as usual, thinking this while basking in the sun.

He had been separated from Noshiro and the others for such a long time, and this was the first time since they met again. He missed his wife, and the married ships would naturally miss him as well. In addition, with the previous experience, the waiting process must have been particularly painful.

And the more you have experienced such a painful wait, the more enthusiastic you will be when you meet again.

At least a few all-nighters are inevitable. As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage. Lin Xiao really misses his bridesmaids at home, so he has to rest well at night these few days and get enough rest, otherwise how will he stay up late?

Ok?

……

Oh my god, it seems to be getting a little dark.

Lin Xiao took off his sunglasses. The warm sunshine just now disappeared at a very fast speed. He looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds, as if heavy rain might pour down at any time.

"Officially, the weather at sea changes too quickly..."

Lin Xiao complained somewhat helplessly, and prepared to get up, pack up, and go back to the cabin to avoid the rain. He could also write a book for a while in the next few days...including spending some time to finish the remaining half volume after he returns. In this way, he will have two full volumes of manuscripts in reserve, and can sit back and relax and fish for a long time.

——However, just as he was about to stand up

Above the sea, several figures appeared vaguely in his sight.

Close, too close! Almost in front of the cruise ship, right next to the side.

Floating on the sea was a ghost-like girl with pale skin, one foot in shackles, and her light blue eyes looking at him expressionlessly.

The huge black jellyfish suit looks very oppressive, with white ribbon-like tentacles swaying slightly in the wind. The girl herself is wearing very fluffy blue pants and a cute lace hat, looking like a cute jellyfish.

No, she's not cute at all...

Lin Xiao is not a fool. He is of course very clear about the identity of the girl in front of him - Siren!

The feeling of danger made his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle. Dido, who had been standing by his side, had just walked into the cabin to get him a drink, and now he was the only one on the deck.

Lin Xiao subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but for some reason, his body could not move, and he could not take his eyes away from the girl in front of him. It was as if he was attracted by a black vortex, trapped in it, and almost suffocated.

Why did the Siren appear here?

This is Lin Xiao's biggest doubt at the moment. This is obviously a safe sea area. According to common sense, even the Siren's mass-produced warships cannot appear here, let alone high-level Siren intelligent humanoids.

Arbitrator Tempalans XIV, a member of the Sirens' high-level agency, the Arbitration Agency, is undoubtedly a real high-level figure among the Sirens. So, why would such a big shot appear here?

To be honest, even though he had traveled to this world for so long, Lin Xiao had never thought that one day he would come face to face with the Siren humanoid.

After all, he was in safe waters most of the time. Even if he attacked occasionally, if he didn't go deep, he would at most encounter some mass-produced humanoids. He would never have any intersection with the big bosses in the arbitration agency and the experimental agency in his life.

But at this moment, fate seemed to be playing a joke on him. While he was reading a book in the sun, a Siren BOSS suddenly appeared in front of him.

What should I do?

To be honest, this situation was a bit beyond Lin Xiao's understanding. He was at a loss for a moment, and... he could hardly move now.

But the strange thing was that although his expression was cold and it was obvious that he didn't just come to say hello to him, he didn't take any action. Instead, he calmly stepped onto the cruise ship, keeping a distance of several meters from him. He didn't do anything but stared at him with his emotionless ice-blue eyes.

"Um... this beautiful lady?"

Lin Xiao tried to speak. To be honest, he really wanted to shout for help, but at this distance, what if his cry for help irritated the other party?

Lin Xiaoke wasn't sure whether his physique, comparable to that of a ship girl, could withstand the attack of the Siren BOSS, but he felt that it was probably not possible.

Ordinary Siren humanoids and even mass-produced Siren warships can hurt the Ship Girl. There is no reason why such a BOSS would be unable to do anything to him. If the opponent really wants to attack, even if he shouts, the Ship Girls will not be able to save him in time.

The most important thing in this situation is not to provoke the other party, but to delay time as much as possible. Wait until your own ship girl finds out that something is wrong and rushes over, or Dido comes back, then you will have a chance.
