I, Azure Commander!

Lin Xiao was completely confused. What on earth was this? How did this kid come to such a conclusion?

Lin Xiao was surprised to see Saratoga picking up the bread and eating it under Lexington's urging, and he seemed to suddenly understand something.

If you put it that way, it is true.

They all knew that Xiao Jiajia had joined the port area a long time ago and was a senior in the port area, and was a marriage ship whose favorability had long been maxed out, so sleeping with the commander was not a surprising thing at all. However, in Shimakaze's eyes, it was not the case!

In the eyes of this child, Saratoga was a ship girl who had just joined the port yesterday, and then on the first night after joining the port, she went straight into the commander's bed. For Shimakaze who did not know the truth of the matter, perhaps the impact of this incident was indeed a little too great.

"I think you must have misunderstood something..."

After figuring out the reason behind this, Lin Xiao sighed helplessly and said, "Anyway, I won't let a ship girl sleep with me casually. You can rest assured about this. We don't have those weird traditions in our port area. Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Is that so? Huh~ Then I feel relieved."

Shimakaze nodded and slowly sat down.

"but!"

Then, just when Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the child slammed the table again and stood up again.

"Shimakaze doesn't mean I hate the Commander, nor does it mean I don't want to sleep with the Commander... But I can't sleep with the Commander right now, anyway..."

Lin Xiao finally couldn't help rolling his eyes and patted the little girl's head, "Calm down, Shimakaze, calm down."

He then looked at Noshiro standing aside, as if he wanted to say something, but then he felt that a reserved girl like Noshiro was not suitable for explaining such things. He was afraid that she would use ambiguous and obscure words to explain, which would cause Shimakaze to have new misunderstandings.

She glanced at all the shipgirls, but couldn't find a suitable person to explain these things to Shimakaze in detail. Besides, Shimakaze had to go to school now, so she didn't have time to explain them to her slowly. Finally, she simply said, "In short, you just joined the port, and you may not understand many things. I will explain these doubts to you slowly later. Don't think too much, and study hard, okay?"

"Well... Shimakaze, I will work hard and become the most powerful destroyer in the world. I will protect the commander well!"

Shimakaze was rubbed on the head and suddenly calmed down. He nodded with a slightly red face.

It seems that this child has been brainwashed by the instructors of the academy. However, being motivated is never a bad thing, so there is no need to correct him specifically.

The most powerful destroyer in the world...

It's a very ambitious goal. As far as Lin Xiao knows, there are many powerful destroyers in their port, such as Lingbo Lingzhanxian, Tongzhijiang and Liangyue. Compared with them, the current Shimakaze is still too immature.

But since it is a colorful skin expulsion, if you persist in practicing hard, maybe it is really possible.

Speaking of which, this child has no equipment yet. The equipment she has is all her own. Although Lin Xiao originally had a lot of good equipment, she doesn't have any good equipment on hand now, and it is too expensive to buy equipment. There is no way. Anyway, she is still a newbie and does not need very good equipment for the time being. If she really needs it later, she will borrow it from Lafite first.

After breakfast, Feng Daoban had to go to class, and several of his family members who worked as part-time instructors at the academy also had to go to teach. On Lin Xiao's side, he was ready to go out with Lexington and Xiao Gaga.

"Master, shall I go with you?"

Sirius seemed a little reluctant to leave and didn't seem to want to go to class.

"It's ok."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "You are an honorary instructor of the academy after all. You can't be careless about your work. Lexington and the others can go with me. Besides, isn't Sheffield here? She has nothing to do at home anyway, so just let her go with me."

Sheffield, who was cleaning the table, looked up at him. She wanted to say something sarcastic, but she didn't say it after thinking about it. With more and more ship girls at home, her life gradually returned to normal. She was busy doing maid work every day, cleaning, doing housework, and occasionally helping Nagashima get snacks. Although there was nothing wrong with it, she couldn't stay with the commander as often as when she just found the commander, and the commander would often talk to her.

It seems nice to go out with the commander after a long time.

So the expressionless maid lowered her head again and her hands moved faster.

When Sirius heard Sheffield's name, she finally felt relieved. She still trusted her reliable colleagues very much. Although Sheffield was not very frank, she could still do the job of a maid very well.

After Sheffield finished cleaning the table, he walked straight over without saying a word and stood beside Lin Xiao, ready to take orders.

"No hurry, take a rest before setting off."

Lin Xiao looked at the maid beside him and rubbed her beautiful short hair for the first time in a long time.

Sheffield's bright yellow pupils were obviously stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head without saying a word. He rubbed Lin Xiao's hand with his head with some enjoyment, half-closed his eyes and enjoyed this brief warmth.

Lin Xiao looked at the girl in front of him and felt a little guilty, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was only one person and could not split himself. As the number of ship girls increased, it was impossible for him to take care of everything and everyone. He could only do his best to take care of the mood of each girl.

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Lin Xiao stood up from the sofa and said, "Let's go, it's time to go pick them up..."

Chapter 46: The Director's Invitation

After taking the three ship girls out, Lin Xiao remembered to ask Lexington where those ship girls lived.

"Yorktown and the others live in an independent small villa near the sea. After all, they are ship girls, so they prefer to stay by the sea."

"So, wait, doesn't that mean... a sea view villa?"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized what Lexington meant. Lombardy is not a small marginal city. In fact, due to the current world situation, the Naval Academy is an undisputed top institution of learning, and the Maritime Administration means a guarantee of security. A city with these two places will naturally become a commercial center.

Lombardy is no exception, so the housing prices in Lombardy are actually quite expensive, not to mention the villas and sea view rooms by the sea, the unit price is probably starting at four or five thousand.

As expected, the ship girls are all rich people...

Lin Xiao didn't know that although the income of ship girls was indeed not low, most of them were not so wealthy. It was not difficult to earn thirty or fifty thousand yuan a month, but not every ship girl could buy a sea view villa.

The reason lies in the level of training. With the level of training of his ship girls, their income is naturally not comparable to those of ship girls whose general level of training is only level 20 or 30.

If you are lucky, you can get a very large and difficult commission and earn millions of dollars. No matter how difficult or demanding the commission is, you can take it all, so you don't have to worry about making money.

Anyway, according to Lexington's information, we came to an upscale seaside community, and then...then we started to stare blankly.

Although Lexington knew that they lived in this community, due to the commander's absence, their contact was not that close. Although they had met each other, they did not come here but met in a restaurant, so he did not know where they lived exactly.

"Don't you have a cell phone number or something?"

"No."

Lexington shook his head and said, "It seems that no one likes to use mobile phones. We have always communicated through emails. They have an old-fashioned big-butt computer at home. It seems that the original owner left it to them and used it to send and receive emails."

"Sorry, Commander, I was inconsiderate. I should have sent them an email yesterday..."

Lexington lowered his head and said with some self-blame.

In fact, when Lin Xiao asked her about this yesterday, she still remembered to inform Yorktown and the others in advance. However, she was caught off guard by Xiao Jiajia's sudden move at night. Her mind was full of what Xiao Jiajia was doing in the commander's room, so she forgot about this matter and forgot to send it.

It's a bit too late to send an email now...

No one would turn on their big-butt computers to check emails when they have nothing to do, and generally speaking, no one would send them emails, so it's hard to say how often they check their emails.

"It's okay. We're already here, so why worry about not being able to find it?"

Lin Xiao was optimistic. Since it was confirmed that they were in this community, why would he worry about not being able to find them?

Maybe they were just wandering around this neighborhood, and someone would open the window and wave at them.

"Anyway, let's go for a walk first. Also, why not send them an email now? Maybe they'll see it by chance."

----------

"Bumblebee, where's Bumblebee?"

The morning sunshine always seems particularly warm, especially in this early autumn season, coupled with the still warm breeze, it is a very comfortable climate.

York City stood in the yard, taking care of the flowers and plants planted on both sides of the gate.

The detached villa comes with a small courtyard. It did cost them a lot of money to buy this place. However, for the ship girls, money is not a big deal. As long as the money is worth spending, it doesn’t matter how much they spend.

After buying this villa, six old sisters from the port area live here. No matter it is day or night, they can feel the slightly salty sea breeze when they walk into the yard. For the ship girls, it is like the fuel that awakens their vitality. The elves on the sea can never leave the ocean.

Recently, the two sisters Saratoga and Lexington also came to Lombardy, and by chance they met Bumblebee who was taking the Gridley sisters out to buy snacks.

When the sisters from the same port met again, they naturally exchanged greetings. Gridley was the happiest. She jumped up and down holding little Gaga's hand and took out the ship-mounted camera to start taking pictures.

As Xiao Gaga's number one fan, she was really frustrated that she hadn't been able to take a photo of Xiao Gaga for such a long time.

So, with Gridley's help, they exchanged addresses and email addresses, and they kept in touch from then on.

However, this connection is really weak. York City has considered buying a mobile phone, but she always feels that it is unlikely to be useful and she doesn't know how to use it, so she simply gave up.

There was no need for everyone to keep in such close contact. Just know that each other was in Lombard City and meet up occasionally. Anyway, the commander was gone, so from now on we would no longer be colleagues, but just friends and acquaintances.

"Sister York, Bumblebee is taking Craven and Morrie out to play again."

"Running away again?"

Yorktown paused for a moment while trimming the flowers and plants, revealing a helpless expression. "Well, it's fine if the two kids just like playing, but Bumblebee, an adult, also got involved. Don't let him cause any more trouble..."

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Sister Bumblebee is still very reliable."

Gridley scratched his head. Her two sisters were quite lively. They couldn't sit still at home. When they were bored, they would go out to play. They often got into trouble, such as crashing other people's cars and knocking down the railings on the road. Once, they went to play on the horizontal bar and were looked at with admiration by some children from the neighborhood. After a few words of praise, they lost their minds and ended up bending the horizontal bar.

After that, Bumblebee took them to play and was responsible for watching them, so there were not so many things to do.

Although he is also a restless person, Bumblebee is an adult after all. Unlike a child who is completely ignorant, he still knows what he can and cannot do.

For example, when you see two children preparing to move and hide the stone lions in front of someone else's temple, you should stop them in time, tap them on the head twice, and tell them that this is not allowed.

Yorktown was helpless towards his sister. Speaking of her, she did help avoid a lot of trouble. But she was also an adult. Since she could prevent the two naughty kids from getting into trouble, why didn't she just keep them at home?

After all, they, the ship girls, are not suitable to show up in public.

But everyone has already left, there is nothing we can do.

"Sister York City..."

Behind him, Gridley hesitated, "Should we turn on that electric...electric...?"

“It’s a computer.”

"Oh, yes, should we turn on the computer and take a look? Maybe Xiao Jiajia and the others have sent us an email?"

"You want to add more again?"

"Ah."

Gridley did not deny it and nodded.

"But didn't we just meet more than half a month ago?"

Yorktown trimmed the flowers and plants and swept up the fallen leaves while talking to Gridley.

"That's right, but... I just miss Xiao Jiajia. I want to be with Xiao Jiajia forever."

Gridley buttoned his clothes, looking a little lost.

Yorktown looked up at her and sighed imperceptibly. She knew that Gridley was reminiscing about his previous life in the port area.

Yes, life was so good back then. I lived with so many sisters every day, and we always had endless things to talk about. The port was also lively, and most importantly, I could see the commander.

Who wouldn't want to go back to that kind of life if they could?

But that's not possible... Even if all the sisters were gathered together again, they would not be able to live together like that again.

Because the bond that connects them is no longer there, without the commander, the more lively it is, the more empty it will seem. It would be better for them to separate and have some peace and quiet, leaving behind beautiful memories of the past.

"Hmm... next week, how about we email them next week and meet at a nearby café?"

Gridley didn't say anything, just nodded, obviously not satisfied with the result.

"if……"

"Ok?"

"If the Commander comes back, can we live together again?"

"……maybe."

York City's gentle face, which had never changed, also showed a hint of melancholy and nostalgia. "No, it must be!"

"If the Commander can come back, we will definitely be together again, and no one will be missing. With the Commander's ability, there might even be a lot of new sisters."

"Then Sister York, let's go to the temple together to pray tomorrow? Let the commander come back early."

To be honest, Gridley didn't have such a deep feeling about the commander.

It's not that they don't like him, no Minato-kun shipgirl hates their commander, it's just that their favorability is not that high. They are sad about his disappearance, but not that heartbroken. In comparison, the degree of sadness is probably 50-50 that Minato is torn apart and can no longer be with Kaka-chan.

In her impression, the commander was a guy who was not frank at all. In his own words, he was a tsundere. He always said bad things about Xiao Jiajia, saying that she had flat chest and a bad file, but in fact he liked her very much. Otherwise, why would he give Xiao Jiajia a ring?

"Ok."

Yorktown did not deny Gridley's words, although she did not think that the so-called prayers were of any use. If the commander wanted to come back, he would naturally come back. If he did not want to come back, he would never come back no matter what. But... what if?

The commander always says, no matter what gods, Buddhas, immortals, or demons they are, believe in them when you need them, and treat them as if they don't exist when you don't need them. Now should be the time when they can be used, right?

"Sister Bumblebee and the idiots Craven and Morrie just hang out all day. It would be great if they could bring the Commander back someday."

McCall, who was sitting in front of the door, swinging his legs and holding a popsicle in his hand, said listlessly.

"How is this possible?" Even Gridley felt that this was ridiculous.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

The three were chatting when someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the yard.
