I, Azure Commander!

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush to send the letter, York City. I'll find time to write a letter and bring it to you when we meet tomorrow. You can send it along as well."

"This is best."

Yorktown was a little surprised when he heard this. Even though he knew that the commander's personality had changed a lot, he didn't expect that he could go to this extent and become so caring and concerned about his own ship girl.

After being surprised, she was naturally relieved and touched. She nodded and agreed. Then she looked at the time. From time to time, she could hear the sound of children playing around. She said, "It's getting late. Let's do this. Commander, take care of yourself and get some rest."

"... Okay, I understand."

Lin Xiao's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, but he still agreed and then hung up the phone.

Just at this moment, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Noshiro walked out wearing a bathrobe and with her hair tied up.

"Have you finished chatting?"

"Ah, um..."

"What did Yorktown say?"

"Well, she told me to rest early."

Of course, Lin Xiao would not be so tactless as to recount all the work matters in detail at this time, and answered Noshiro's questions in a somewhat strange tone.

"Yes...yes."

After all, this was not the first or second time. Even Noshiro had grown up and quickly understood the meaning of his words. She certainly would not resist, nor was she as shy as before. She just blushed slightly, and then put on a charming smile on her face. She slowly took off the bath towel wrapped around herself, revealing her flawless white body.

"It's really getting late, let's go to bed early, Commander~"

"hiss--!"

Lin Xiao immediately took a breath of cold air, his pupils shrank, "Do you want me to rest like this? You clearly want me to stay awake all night!"

After such a long time, and under Lin Xiao's persistence, he has experienced many ways of playing, and now he is becoming more and more relaxed. How should I put it, he has gradually become the commander?

He touched his waist, and although he felt that his magazine was almost empty, facing his pretty wife, Lin Xiao could not control himself and pulled Noshiro into his arms.

……

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Lin Xiao got up with the help of Sirius. After washing up, he stretched his muscles a little and managed to cheer himself up.

Because they had to go out today, Noshiro took Lin Xiao's health into consideration yesterday and worked very hard. He quickly resolved the battle, then gently held the weak Lin Xiao's head and let him fall asleep with her gentle caress.

How to say it... Lin Xiao really didn't expect that when a mere Nengdai got serious, he could be so powerful. He even thought that the person he was fighting against was Sirius.

As expected, there are no damaged fields, only exhausted cows. Especially with the physical fitness of the ship girl, it would be too easy to kill him in one second. She usually takes care of him...

Having said that, Lin Xiao feels that his current physical condition is actually quite amazing, or even that he has begun to feel that he is different from ordinary humans.

Specific manifestations include that even if he is sleep-deprived, he can still be full of energy if necessary, and even if he has to hand in homework almost every night, his body never feels weak and uncomfortable. Moreover, his strength has become very great, and he can pick up a loli with one hand without any effort. His speed, reaction ability, and endurance have all become much stronger. If I were to make an analogy, it feels that his performance in all aspects is more than two or three times stronger than when he just traveled through time.

He still remembered that at that time, he had a hard time even carrying a little Amajo, but now he can still walk briskly with a loli in one hand. This is enough to prove that the night sky he saw in his mind, which is now lit up with more than 20 "stars", does have some inexplicable magical effect. As more and more ship girls are recovered, it doesn't seem impossible for him to transform into a humanoid battleship and tear apart the sirens with bare hands, enter and exit the battlefield as if he were in an empty space, and when the ship girls are defeated, he can slap away the sirens' shells with a slap and evacuate safely with the ship girls.

Chapter 54: She is Worthy of Being My Wife

Shaking his head, he threw those unrealistic ideas behind him. Even if it could be realized, the ship girls would not let him go to the battlefield. Hiding in the back and assisting in the battle was already the limit. In fact, during large-scale battles, even if the help of the commander could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the ship girls, they had been asked not to go to the front line and could only stay in the rear and wait for the outcome of the battle.

There is no other reason. The existence of commanders is really too important, especially in large-scale battles. There is no telling how many commanders there are on a battlefield. If there is any accident, a shot will be fired and a lot of people will be killed. That would be really big trouble.

God knows how much of an impact the commander's death will have on the already tense ship girls fighting on the front line. Even if they turn black into deep sea on the spot, it is not impossible that they will open fire on their former allies.

So, tearing Siren apart with bare hands is just something you can think about, but tearing Siren's clothes apart with bare hands is still possible...even considering the situation in their port area, if he really wants to, it's quite possible.

"Commander, are you going out today?"

Lin Xiao got up extra early today, and seemed to have asked Sheffield to help him get dressed. The clothes he wore were much more formal than usual, which immediately attracted Tianying's attention.

"Oh, yes."

Lin Xiao nodded. They were all his own girls, so there was no need to hide it from them. Later at the dinner table, he repeated what York City had said on the phone yesterday.

"Is that so... So we have to deal with those Sirens next?"

The big brother didn't seem to care much. He ate breakfast while talking, looking relaxed.

"If the Commander has this wish, then it should be so." Tianying nodded, still as elegant as ever, and seemed not to care at all about the appearance of the five Siren ship girls.

Everyone in the port area is accustomed to this. Even Atlanta, who has not been well trained, has never fought against the Siren Ship Girl, but she often hears the news that one of her sisters in the family has sunk another Siren Ship Girl. She is almost numb from hearing it, and naturally she doesn't have any feelings towards the Siren Ship Girl.

Only Shimakaze, a newcomer from the port area, was looking at his companions in surprise while eating his breakfast.

Siren Shipgirls? During the theory class, she heard the instructors at the academy say that they were all difficult to mess with. The instructors looked particularly serious when they mentioned them, and kept warning them to be careful and not to mess with them unless necessary.

And what the commander just talked about were five Siren ship girls!

As expected, the seniors in their port area are all very capable...even the director of the Maritime Administration has to come to them for help.

As a newcomer in the port area, I have to work harder and catch up with them as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be able to help the commander in the future.

While chewing on carrot bread, Shimakaze secretly made up his mind to work harder in today's training and improve his level as quickly as possible.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Xiao took Noshiro and Sirius with him and set off for York City's home.

Today he would probably have a good talk with the Director of the Maritime Administration about cooperation. After all, it was not the same as before. Big Brother was good at "reasoning", but he was not good at serious negotiations. Sky Eagle and Lexington were not suitable either. After much thought, the most suitable person in the family to accompany him on this trip was Nodai.

Several people rushed to York City's home, but did not rush to the Maritime Administration. The reason... naturally, Lin Xiao had not started writing the letter he promised to write yesterday. After all, Noshiro came out of the bathroom right after the phone call was hung up.

After borrowing a pen and paper from York City's house, Lin Xiao began to think hard. Harman was easy to deal with. Although he was a tsundere, tsunderes were most afraid of straight balls. Otherwise, why is it said that people are naturally good against tsunderes?

In the letter to Harman, just write some bold words of love, such as "The Commander likes Harman the most" and "Harman is the cutest in the world", and you can easily win over the girl.

The other children were equally simple, but Helena and Aunt Saint were more troublesome. Not only were they grown-up girls, but their mother was also a wedding ship. Lin Xiao had been troubled for a long time about what to write in the letter to them.

After a long time, he finally finished writing the letter. After Lin Xiao handed the letter to Yorktown, he immediately set off for the Maritime Administration with Yorktown who was already ready.

He took a taxi directly to the Maritime Administration. After getting off the taxi, Yorktown walked to the door of the Maritime Administration. The guard today was still the same ship girl from yesterday. She quickly recognized Yorktown and immediately came up to say hello.

"Is Miss York City here to see the Director today as well?"

"Yes, but to be precise, I'm not the one looking for him. I'm just responsible for leading the way for my commander."

"Commander? Is that him?"

The guard ship girl immediately looked at Lin Xiao behind her, greeted him with a smile, and looked at him with some surprise.

As a newly born free ship girl, although she works in the Maritime Administration, she has not met many commanders yet and is still very curious about them.

"Hello, Commander. I am Z1936, the middle one among the 28A destroyers."

Z-series expulsion?

在舰娘中也算是一个相当庞大的群体，有诸如Z1、Z2、Z18、19、20、21、24、25等等，Z28也是其中的一员，不过很可惜，Z28的那一次大活他错过了，所以港区里并没有这一号舰娘。

"hello."

Having said that, Lin Xiao would not want to salvage the ship as soon as he saw it. Although he cannot say that he has no idea at all, most of the ship girls in his family are still wandering outside, so Lin Xiao really has no intention of salvaging the ship.

So he just greeted the cute white-haired girl in a normal way, and then asked, "Can I come in?"

"Of course! Please come in. The director has instructed that when you see the commander of York City, just let him in... The director is in the office now. I can take you to find her."

A very sensible child... and quite cute, with white hair...

By the way, aren’t there a bit too many little lolis with white hair in Guayou?

He politely declined the girl's offer to lead the way. York City had met the director yesterday and knew where the director's office was. Besides, she also had her job as a guard, so there was no need to trouble her.

After bidding farewell to the lovely Z28, Lin Xiao followed Yorktown all the way into the Maritime Administration's office building. Soon he found the director's office and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

Peter Strasser, who was handling official business, raised her head from the various documents that were piled up higher than her body and looked towards the door.

"Please come in."

As a calm and steady voice slowly rang out in the office after adjusting his state, the door creaked, Lin Xiao pushed the door open and saw the young director of the Maritime Administration.

No, maybe I’m not young anymore?

But it doesn’t matter. Age has no meaning for a ship girl. At least the girl in front of him does look young and beautiful.

"Who is this……"

Peter Strasser didn't understand Lin Xiao's identity for a while. After all, although he made such an agreement with Yorktown yesterday, as the director of the Maritime Bureau, he had so many things to do every day, and it was natural for him to meet all kinds of commanders. Of course, he could not confirm Lin Xiao's identity.

"Miss Director, he is my commander~"

Yorktown, who was standing behind the door, opened it and explained to her.

"I see!" Peter Strasser immediately raised his eyebrows, became more polite, and invited Lin Xiao and the others to come in. After seeing Sirius and Noshiro, his expression suddenly became brighter.

The three ship girls, if trained to a qualified level, can obviously provide certain assistance.

Lin Xiao sat on the sofa, Yorktown and Noshiro sat on his side respectively, while Sirius, the maid, stood behind the three of them, looking ahead meticulously.

If it's just for appearance purposes, this plump maid with extraordinary temperament is still very qualified.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xiao, I'm the commander of York City, this Miss Director..."

Lin Xiao was the first to greet and looked at the Maritime Director in front of him with curiosity.

She is a very pretty girl with a very unique temperament, and gives people an overall sense of rigor.

"Peter Strasser. Just call me Peter."

According to Nachi, Miss Yorktown was not alone, but was with several other ship girls. They seemed to be very close companions, and they did not seem to be unfamiliar with each other until yesterday. This might mean that not only Yorktown, but also several others were the ship girls of Commander Lin Xiao. In addition, these two girls today looked quite extraordinary... Facing such an excellent commander, Peter Strasser would not be stingy with his time at all.

——Even though her time was extremely precious, she was very willing to take out a relatively large amount of time to have a good talk with the commander.

"Well, Miss Peter, I've already heard what Yorktown told me about yesterday, so do you want Yorktown to join the team to defeat the Siren Ship Girl?"

However, although she was unusually calm, the commander Lin Xiao on the opposite side did not seem to intend to waste any extra words and directly brought out the topic.

"I naturally expect so - if Commander Lin Xiao has no objection to this."

Even the Maritime Administration and the commanders do not have a relationship of superior and subordinate, but more like partners, or to put it more figuratively, like the Adventurer's Guild and adventurers in some novels. Of course, this is just a description of the relationship between them. On the surface, the Maritime Administration is of course the leader of all the commanders.

The Maritime Administration has the right to decide the area under the commander's jurisdiction, allocate port areas and commissions, and even the distribution of benefits and resources. However, they never force any commander to do anything, and rarely issue any orders in the name of the Maritime Administration - unless a real disaster is imminent and survival is at stake.

Although the threat posed by the five Siren ship girls has theoretically reached this level, at least for now they have not taken any action, there is no sign of their intention to attack, and they are still quite a distance away from safe waters.

"Actually, I really hope to say it is..."

Lin Xiao spread his hands helplessly and said, "Guarding the sea is my duty as a commander, and I am also very happy to help a beauty like Miss Peter, but..."

Peter Strasser frowned slightly, not because of Lin Xiao's smooth talk. Although she didn't like such a roundabout way of speaking, at least as a young girl, she still benefited from the compliments in the other party's words.

"That's such a pity..."

Of course, Peter Strasser did not intend to waste too much time on it. He simply felt regretful. After all, she had found many free ship girls like Yorktown, and the loss of a few combat forces was not a very serious matter.

In comparison, she would rather spend her time thinking about how to communicate with the trainee commander who is still studying at the Naval Academy. He and the ship girls under his command are the key to deciding the outcome of the battle.

The other party's answer was obviously beyond Lin Xiao's expectations. He thought that the other party would at least say something polite to save the relationship. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Miss Peter..."

At this moment, Noshiro spoke up, "I think you may have misunderstood what my commander meant."

"Oh?" Peter Strasser shrugged noncommittally, but he looked willing to hear more details.

"In fact, as he said, he is very willing to fight to protect the people and the safety of Lombard City... But I don't agree!"

"..." Peter Strasser's expression became a little surprised. The scene in front of her was a little incredible to her, a free ship girl.

Faced with the wishes of her commander, this seemingly virtuous and docile ship girl could actually say such words?

Even though she is a freedom ship girl, as the director of the Maritime Bureau she is definitely well-informed, and she even knows what kind of morals the ship girls in the port area are - they always follow the commander's lead, no matter how many shortcomings their commander has, in their eyes and hearts, their commander is the best in the world, the most outstanding person in the world, the most worthy of them to follow, and the commander's words, orders and decisions must be absolute in their own port area, and no doubt is allowed.

But...how could there be a ship girl in the port area who dares to go against her own commander?

Is this really the impression she has of the ship girls in the port area?

Faced with her surprise, Noshiro remained expressionless, but Lin Xiao secretly laughed in her heart and at the same time admired Noshiro's quick reaction.

They had not expected such a situation in advance, so this sentence was completely improvised by Noshiro, and now it seems that her emergency plan was indeed very effective and obviously intimidated the Maritime Director in front of him.

The negotiation seemed to be won at this point. After all, they still had a big trump card in their hands that they hadn't revealed yet...

Well done, Noda, you are worthy of being my wife!

Chapter 55: You have hundreds of wives at the age of 19?

Lin Xiao cheered in his heart and quietly squeezed Noshiro's hand to show encouragement, which also dispelled the slight uneasiness in Noshiro's heart.

Because she acted on the spot and had not discussed it with the commander in advance, she was actually somewhat uneasy when she said those words just now. She was afraid that the commander would think that she was the kind of woman who acted on her own and did whatever she wanted by relying on his preference.

But now, Noshiro, who had been holding hands with the commander and had long been in tune with him, immediately understood what he meant and put down all her psychological burdens. Under Peter Strasser's surprised gaze, she said, "This may surprise Miss Director, but my commander is a very open-minded and gentle person, and he attaches great importance to the suggestions and ideas of our ship girls."
