I, Azure Commander!

There is no commander who is so crazy as to not stand seeing others lose and would secretly harm them. Such a character will never be recognized by the ship girls and he will never become a commander.

"What about your colorful ship girl? Did you bring her here today?"

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't seen the colored skin yet..."

After eliminating those rumors that were getting more and more outrageous, Lin Xiao and the commanders around him suddenly became closer. Although there was a European-African gap between the commanders, the overall relationship was still very harmonious. They were all in the same industry, doing the same job with both power and crisis, and they had a certain degree of mutual respect for each other.

For those who do such high-risk jobs, it is definitely not a bad thing to know more friends. Maybe one day in the future when you encounter a crisis, more friends can save your life.

As a result, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately eased and became very friendly.

"Shimakaze, come over here and let everyone meet you."

Lin Xiao waved to Shimafeng, who had already noticed the situation here and was watching the show at a loss.

Everyone's eyes immediately followed Lin Xiao's line of sight, and everyone's attention was focused on Shimakaze. The child suddenly became a little nervous and trotted to Lin Xiao, looking timidly at the commanders and ship girls around him.

Although he was not an introvert by nature, the scene was somewhat scary for a child who had just been born and had not experienced these things yet.

Lin Xiao also hugged her, which instantly reassured the somewhat uneasy Shimakaze. He then introduced her to his colleagues around him: "This is the legendary shipgirl at sea - the Shimakaze destroyer of the Sakura Empire."

While introducing her to everyone, while the little girl was seeking a sense of security in his arms, Commander Lin Xiao certainly would not miss such a good opportunity, and touched Shimakaze's furry ears, and immediately revealed a satisfied expression...

Chapter 4 The Protagonist at the Banquet ()

"This is the legendary shipgirl at sea—the Shimakaze destroyer of the Sakura Empire."

As Lin Xiao's voice fell, Shimakaze became the focus of everyone's attention in an instant. The commanders and ship girls present all looked at the somewhat nervous bunny ship girl in front of them, with her small body and cute face. For everyone, this was the first legendary ship girl at sea that they had ever seen.

Although there are two legendary ship girls in this world, not everyone can see them. I'm afraid only those big guys who have reached the rank of lieutenant admiral will have the opportunity to see those two colorful girls.

"I'm sorry, my Shimakaze is still a child, it's enough for you to get to know her, there's no need to just stare at her."

Lin Xiao would not let others stare at his own ship girl all the time. After about ten seconds, he completely protected Shimakaze in his arms and did not let others see her.

His words also made all the commanders suddenly realize that although legendary ship girls at sea were indeed rare in their lifetime, they were someone else's ship girls after all, and it would be impolite to keep staring at them.

As a result, the venue slowly returned to normal, and everyone began to anxiously wait for the organizer of the banquet, Peter Strasser, director of the Maritime Bureau of Lombardy, to arrive.

To be honest, they were a little surprised that the director was late. After all, as far as they knew, the Maritime Director of Lombardy City had a strong sense of time and especially hated being late and wasting time. For her to be late on her own, she must have encountered some trouble or something very important happened.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long. Not long after, Nachi, who had been driving fast all the way, braked suddenly in front of the hall and drifted, making a teeth-grinding sound.

It's finally arrived.

Everyone looked over. Under everyone's gaze, Peter Strasser slowly stepped out of the car with a heavy face. "Sorry, everyone. I'm a little delayed because of some important work."

"Director, what are you talking about? Compared to the banquet, work is of course more important. If you need any help, just let me know. I will do my best."

After all, the other party was the director of the Maritime Administration, and soon commanders who wanted to build a relationship with him began to flatter him.

Peter Strasser didn't buy it, and ignored him. He just walked into the hall, glanced at Lin Xiao who was hugging Shimakaze, and then said, "But the matter has been resolved now, and you don't have to worry. Since it's a party, just relax and have fun. Work or other things can be left until after tonight..."

As she spoke, she walked to the stage in the center of the banquet hall and waved her hand, "Then, let's officially begin."

"Oh~!"

The little lolis, who had been holding back their patience for a long time, suddenly cheered and rushed towards the food they had been staring at and craving for for a long time, stuffing their mouths full with satisfied smiles on their faces.

After all, they are children. Even a ship girl is still a child. It is understandable that they have poor self-control and like to eat.

Anyway, the banquet had already started, so Noshiro no longer cared about Yuudachi and let her go find her favorite food.

The same is true for the other little girls in the family. Everyone is free to disperse and eat whatever they like. After they finish eating, new food will naturally be delivered. This is also one of the main reasons why Lin Xiao brought everyone here together.

Big Brother has now started her own "hunting". She holds many delicious foods in her hands and stuffs them into her mouth at an astonishing speed. Even so, she still retains the elegance of a royal knight, which makes people marvel. God knows how she does it.

While eating, George V looked around the banquet hall, looking for new delicacies. However, at this moment...

In the corner of my sight, a somewhat familiar figure suddenly walked into the banquet hall from outside.

George V looked over curiously, but the other person walked very quickly and disappeared into the crowd, and could not be found for a while.

"Never mind, I guess Sirius or someone just went out for a while."

George V did not care too much. Tonight was a long-awaited "feast" for her. There were so many delicious foods to eat, and with so many people around, no one would notice how much she ate, so she didn't need to be restrained at all.

Such important time cannot be wasted.

So, George V quickly forgot about the familiar figure that flashed by and started looking for delicious food again.

What she didn't notice was that the guy who just walked into the hall caused quite a commotion at the banquet that had already started.

There was no other reason. This person turned out to be the deputy director of the Maritime Administration. I heard that she was on a business trip and had not appeared for a long time. I didn't expect that she had returned and suddenly showed up at this banquet.

"Mr. Deputy Director, you just came in like this without making a sound?"

A ship girl who worked at the Maritime Bureau was enjoying the banquet and eating delicious food. She wanted to get a glass of tomato juice, but she happened to run into the red-haired ship girl and was immediately startled.

"Haha - the bright moon and the fine wine are not to be wasted. Since it's a banquet, how can I miss Yu?"

The red-haired ship girl was wearing an evening gown, with fishnet stockings wrapped around her legs. Her pomegranate-red eyes were filled with a look of "joy". "Do you feel it? The red flower of sin is blooming. Everything in this world will be dyed red along with my eyes."

Speaking in words that were completely incomprehensible to outsiders, the girl raised her slender neck high, lightly covered one of her eyes, half-opened her mouth, revealing a pair of cute fangs.

"But, Deputy Director, this is not wine, it's tomato juice..."

"..."

The Duke of York's face became visibly embarrassed, and he coughed twice before saying, "Since they are all sweet bloody rain, their form of existence does not matter."

"But, this is tomato juice, right?"

The ship girl looked at the deputy director in front of her helplessly, "The director seemed to have been looking for you when she was at the Maritime Bureau before. She said that your report on the mission outside had not been submitted. Do you want to go and see her first?"

"Well... that troublesome, sad woman is simply incapable of appreciating my noble character."

"Ah...really? Never mind. The director also said that we shouldn't talk about work at the banquet. It shouldn't matter. Please do as you please..."

Chapter 5 The Protagonist at the Banquet ()

"Really? Never mind. The director also said that we shouldn't talk about work at the banquet. It shouldn't matter. Please do as you please..."

The ship girl was also helpless. She really had no way to deal with this deputy director. He didn't say a word and it was very difficult to communicate with him.

Is there no way to make her speak normally? I am so tired...

She shook her head helplessly. Today was her break time and she didn't want to deal with this troublesome deputy director anymore. Instead, she might as well take the opportunity to eat more delicious food, or see if there was any handsome and powerful commander to see if there was a chance to join the port area.

Being a free ship girl is relatively comfortable, but it is also relatively hard work. Eating, drinking, defecating and everything else cost money. Although working in the Maritime Administration can save on rent and other things, except when you are at work, you have to pay for the resources you need for normal training or going out on commissions.

Although the salary at the Maritime Administration is not low, the daily expenses of being a ship girl are also a headache for the ship. Under such circumstances, although it is absolutely no problem to support yourself, and you can even live comfortably by taking on a commission from time to time, but you don't have much time for training and exercises, and it is even more difficult to raise money to strengthen your ship's equipment, or buy a slightly better equipment.

As for breakthroughs or even transformations, that is even more unthinkable. The price is not something that ordinary free ship girls can afford. Only those particularly powerful free ship girls can become stronger without relying on the commander, and she is obviously not among them.

Although it has a purple skin, it is just a destroyer. The training level is not high or even very low. The ship equipment is not powerful at all. Many of those non-African commanders want to rescue her, but joining such a port will not be more comfortable than living in the Maritime Bureau. Instead, you have to live a hard life with the commander. Although it is not that you cannot endure hardships... If you really meet a commander you like, then even if he has nothing, he will not hesitate to stay with him and share the hardships with him, even if it means eating steamed buns and starving.

But Shanfeng really doesn't have any special feelings towards those guys. In that case, he certainly doesn't want to suffer with them.

If we can join those more powerful and wealthy port areas, of course we will strive for it.

This banquet is a good opportunity, gathering almost all the big commanders in the vicinity. If Shanfeng can meet the right one, he won’t mind taking the initiative.

Those guys who just wait foolishly for the commander to rescue them... Some of them have good training levels and their ship equipment is also quite impressive, but they have been free ship girls for more than ten years and have not been picked up by anyone.

When it comes to salvaging ships, it all depends on your liking. Commanders don't want to salvage every ship girl they see... Maybe there are such people, but they must be the most unlucky ones.

The more powerful the commander is, the more cautious he will be in choosing a ship girl. He will consider practicality and the help that the other party can bring by joining the port. Those ship girls who are not powerful enough will hardly catch the eyes of these commanders. But if they take the initiative to attack, the situation will be different...

There are very few commanders who would refuse a ship girl who actively asks to join the port.

It's just like falling in love. It's like a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but it's like a layer of gauze for a woman to pursue a man. What's more, for commanders, taking in ship girls has never been a multiple-choice question. It's not like if he accepts a ship girl who voluntarily comes to him, he can't go for other ship girls, or the ship girls at home will leave him. Apart from spending some resources and taking care of the other party, it can be said that there is no cost.

This kind of ship girl who comes to you without you having to put in a lot of effort is rarely rejected.

Shanfeng undoubtedly has such awareness and plans. If she sets her sights on a commander and thinks that the other party is pleasing to the eye and the port area is also strong, she will attack without hesitation.

But so far, she hasn't found any particularly suitable target...

"Oh, the bright red blood really makes my heart beat fast..."

On this side, without Shanfeng's complaints, the Duke of York got his "blood" meal very smoothly. Well, as Shanfeng said, it was just tomato juice.

The Duke of York likes to drink tomato juice very much. After all, she is a vampire, and it seems that she needs to drink blood, but she does not really need to drink blood, so she compromises and makes herself feel that she drinks blood and does things that are consistent with her identity as a vampire. It can also deceive many ignorant children and make them really think that they drink blood.

Although this sounds somewhat childish, but the second year of life, even if it is a very old second year, will always be somewhat childish...

The Duke of York liked the atmosphere of tonight's banquet very much. Such a banquet was obviously worthy of her status as a vampire noble and had enough "foil".

Although quite a few commanders were a bit annoying, the presence of so many ship girls did remind her of the days several years ago when she was still high and mighty in that port.

The guys in the entire port area, including the guy who always thinks he is the master of the port area, are all her followers...

"Haha, these are the days I miss... Although they are all stupid companions, they are still qualified as foils to please me... Ah, it hurts!"

Just when he was having his second thought, he was suddenly hit on the head. The Duke of York immediately covered his head and gasped.

Such a heavy blow brought back some bad memories...

But then she became extremely angry, her scarlet pupils shrank, and she turned around angrily, blowing her nose and glaring at the guy who dared to hit the great Duke of York.

(((;???;)))

↑——Then, her expression changed to this.

"Big...brother?!"

The Duke of York shrank his neck, showing a well-behaved expression, looking at the blonde ship girl in front of him who had one hand on her waist and was gnawing on a chicken leg with the other hand.

Of course, the Duke of York was very afraid of George V. If it were Wales, he might have fought back stubbornly, as they had disputes in the past.

But the big brother is different. Both in character and status, he is obviously much stronger than Wales.

In the history of the old times, the source of George V's name was the King George V of England, the Duke of York, the father of George VI.

Although the relationship between these ship girls is not like this, this kind of identity oppression still exists to some extent...

Chapter 6 The Protagonist at the Banquet ()

"Big...brother?!"

The Duke of York looked at George V in front of him with almost horror, and immediately shrank his neck and started to act like an ostrich.

However, George V's face darkened when he heard her words. He slapped her on the head again and said while chewing a chicken leg, "Call me sister!"

"Yes, eldest sister!"

The Duke of York obviously couldn't raise his head in front of George V. The elegance that seemed like a vampire aristocrat just now seemed to be thrown behind his mind in an instant. He stood at attention, looking obedient.

George V was also very surprised at this time. He did not expect that he would meet the Duke of York at this banquet.

If the commander knew, he would probably be overjoyed again.

but……

"What brought you here?"

After George V finished the chicken leg in his hand, he did not rush to get other food. Instead, he looked curiously at the Duke of York in front of him.

"Well... it's a long story. Besides, why are you here, big sister?"

"It's a long story, so let me make it short."

As George V spoke, he took a pistol leg from the waiter who was passing by to deliver food and started to chew it.

"Well... because I'm working in Lombard City now, the Director of the Maritime Affairs Bureau said he wanted to hold a banquet. I thought this banquet was quite suitable for my status, so I came here."

The Duke of York was honest in front of George V and told the story to the best of his ability.

"Work? What kind of work do you do?"

George V raised his eyebrows curiously. Before the Duke of York could answer, Peter Strasser suddenly came over from the side and said, "Finally I found you. I just ran into Shanfeng and he said he saw you coming. Where is the report on your last mission? When do you plan to submit it? I still need to summarize it with the headquarters..."

As she spoke, she noticed George V standing opposite the Duke of York, and then noticed the subtle atmosphere between them, and her voice gradually lowered.

"Miss George V, what are you doing..."

Although I know that George V seems to be the sister of the Duke of York, even so, if they are not from the same port, they can just say hello and exchange a few pleasantries. But why do these two people in front of me look a little strange?

"Director, do you know the elder sister? Oh, that's right. Since the elder sister is here, she must have been invited by you..."

"Miss?"

This address made Peter Strasser not realize for a moment that the Duke of York was actually speaking such an important matter normally, and his eyes widened in surprise.

What does "big sister" mean? If you are not from the same port, you can't call her that...

She immediately remembered what Lin Xiao had said to her before, took a short breath, and seemed to suddenly understand something.
