I, Azure Commander!

After the little fox left in a hurry, Lin Xiao didn't think about it anymore and just enjoyed the feeling of soaking in the hot spring.

Some things should not be rushed. Akagi and Kaga were probably too hasty, so even though everything happened, they didn't really feel anything. Since then, they haven't had any close contact, and they haven't even been alone together.

It even feels like they are avoiding each other lately...

Akagi and Kaga probably felt somewhat guilty, and they would definitely be lectured by Amagi after the incident, which made them feel even worse. They didn't know how to face the commander.

As for Lin Xiao? Actually, he was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he certainly wouldn't blame Chi Cheng too much, but there was still a shadow in his heart.

After all, that night was really hard to bear...

There is probably no way to resolve this unnatural atmosphere between each other. We can only wait until we become familiar with each other after a long time of getting along, and then start working hard from the beginning.

To be honest, although they made money once, the starting point of Akagi and Kaga is actually lower than that of other marriage ships. It is hard to say whether they lost or gained that time...

Therefore, it is better for the little fox to cultivate feelings slowly. Of course, the cultivation here mainly refers to the little fox trying to improve the commander's favorability - after all, as long as the marriage ship does not do anything wrong like Akagi Kaga, there will basically be no problems and it will be OK at any time.

Two hundred favorability points is not an exaggeration to say that it is sky-high, not to mention that those are just very basic and natural things? In fact, there is no obstacle for them.

The only problem is that the commander's favorability is not high enough, so to put it bluntly, they have to find a way to improve the commander's favorability. Once the favorability is high enough and they can "give the commander a ring", everything will be easy.

On this path, Noshiro is the most upright and textbook one, while Sirius is the most "cunning" one who takes the shortcut by relying on her nympho nature and her identity as a maid.

Of course, no matter what, there is definitely a long way to go, but a wedding ship always has much greater advantages than not having a wedding ship, and many things can be done without any psychological burden and are aboveboard.

It is difficult for ships like Lexington and Yorktown that are not marriage ships yet. You have to brush up your favorability, and there are various restrictions. Many straight balls with outstanding effects cannot be played, which is really tiring.

After taking a bath, he changed into warm pajamas and walked out of the room comfortably. Dinner was just ready at this time. The sensitive child noticed Jiang Feng's abnormality and was asking questions with great interest, but he couldn't get anything out of him. When he saw Lin Xiao coming out, he immediately came up to him and started asking questions, hoping to get some interesting "gossip" from him.

Of course, Lin Xiao has always been tight-lipped and would never let anything slip. He looked confused and puzzled, and was even a little curious about what the other party meant by "abnormality". He specifically asked and cared about whether Jiang Feng was feeling unwell.

Xiang was a child after all, and his mind was not that delicate. He was quickly fooled and stopped worrying about it. Instead, he focused all his attention on dinner.

In the afternoon, the wild boar had been turned into a variety of delicacies. The fresh ingredients had been properly processed and matched with excellent cooking skills to become a table of delicious dishes, which satisfied everyone and made them enjoy the meal.

Life in the shrine is simple, but comfortable, relaxing, and there is a very warm feeling... Under the dim light, Lin Xiao looked at the group of lively children and smiling young girls in front of him. After eating and drinking, he felt quite emotional.

It is so beautiful, and I can completely relax my life. If I were not here... if I had not come to this world, would I have the opportunity to feel and experience it?

No one knows the answer, but they are undoubtedly pretending to be confused. In fact, they have some idea in their hearts.

No one is without worries, except those who live in stories...

It’s hard to say whether this is good or bad. Maybe this is how life should be, or maybe... this is just a shackle that people impose on themselves.

Who can really tell? Anyway, sometimes, living a relaxed and confused life has more advantages than disadvantages...

----------

Life in the shrine was peaceful and comfortable. Because there were so many people and the rooms were not well soundproofed, Master Lin even had a rare few days off. Hmm... or should I say it was Master Lin who had the day off? In short, I basically slept with the kids at home these days.

Hugging the sweet and soft destroyer at night was much more comfortable than hugging a pillow. After staying here for about five or six days in total, Nagato finally explained all the matters and briefly explained the situation to the local people... Well, the local people expressed their blessings and brought sickles and hoes to express their desire to meet the commander who had taken away their son of God, and to cut some wheat and dig some potatoes for him.

Lin Xiao was not stupid, so he naturally hid as far away as possible and stayed in the shrine, hugging the lovely Xuefeng and playing with his tablet.

Of course, they had not been idle during these few days, and had basically packed everything that needed to be packed, although there were quite a few things in large and small bags... mainly because there were too many ship models of Senior Mikasa, and it was impossible to expect to take them all with them at once. In fact, they had gone down the mountain quite often in these few days, sometimes to purchase food, and most of the time they moved what could be moved from the shrine to the cruise ship.

So recently, fishermen at the port can occasionally see some children walking through the crowd, either carrying or holding large packages. Some enthusiastic and young ones want to go up to help, and after getting a happy response, they reach out to take the packages...and then what?

Then the package fell directly to the ground, and the ground shook three times, scaring the people nearby into thinking it was an earthquake. Then those hot-blooded young people who wanted to save face began to blush and tried desperately to prove themselves. However, they just didn't have enough strength. No matter how their necks turned red and how they gasped, the big package on the ground didn't move at all.

One person couldn't move it, so they finally found seven or eight people to drag the package to the cruise ship. Then they saw the cute little girl stuffed the last egg tart in her hand into her mouth, swallowed it whole, said thank you, and then picked up the package so easily, jumped ten meters high, without taking any steps, and jumped directly onto the cruise ship with the package, and waved to them politely...

Chapter 54: Sister Foch

Why else would people say that humans are stubborn? They get carried away when they see pretty girls. Even if they know that these cute girls who often carry things are shipgirls and that they don't need any help, there are still adolescents with surging hormones who are very keen to help them, and they won't give up even if their hands are sore from exhaustion.

The reason is naturally that the ship girls are cute enough, but their motives are definitely not pure. Many of them actually have the idea that if they can move the ship girls, they may be able to become commanders in one fell swoop and change their destiny.

This kind of people are commonly known as licking dogs, and licking dogs will not have a good end...

The ship girls would never refuse their help every time, because with their help for that part of the journey, they would have time to buy an ice cream, and after eating, they would basically move to the front of the cruise ship. Therefore, they would thank them politely every time, but it was just a thank you. If they wanted to talk to them, or just go to the small restaurant or cafe next door to chat for a while, then sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first.

And when Lin Xiao brought the girls over one morning, their last hope was finally shattered.

The usually polite but aloof ship girls all stuck to him, and the tsundere cat girl who refused to talk to anyone seemed to be especially favored. She was being held in his arms, rubbing her face and rubbing her cat head from time to time, and she was about to cry with envy.

It turns out that they all have commanders...

In an instant, the strong sense of inferiority turned the bootlicker into a clown.

If the commander was a middle-aged man, a greasy fat man, or simply very ugly with a vulgar temperament, they could still make a few comments behind his back to vent their dissatisfaction, but what is the reality?

He is the epitome of tall, rich and handsome. He is tall and handsome, which can be seen at a glance. As for his wealth... did you see that cruise ship? Isn't the value of this thing worth hundreds of millions?

Compared with others, even those among them who come from quite wealthy families are just ordinary people, without even a single bright spot in them.

People are like this. If the other person is just a little better than you, or even if you are better than the other person in some aspect, even just a little, in a certain aspect, you will feel a little bit unconvinced, thinking that if he can do it, then you can do it too, and you will never admit that others are better. But if you see a guy who is truly better than you in any aspect, you will feel inferior to everyone else.

Of course, there were people who wanted to hold a spear and hunt seals as a wild animal, but when they thought about the gap in strength between themselves and the ship girls, and they didn't have a poisoned spear, they had to give up helplessly, sighed for a while, and left this sad place.

----------

On the afternoon before Lin Xiao was about to leave, he finally met the free ship girl who was transferred here to strengthen the defense - Foch, the No. 3 ship of the Suffren-class heavy cruiser, a blue-haired big sister with an easy-going and easy-going personality, and she was very easy to talk to. This was Lin Xiao's first impression.

However, he seemed to have never seen this ship girl in the game before.

A Suffren-class heavy cruiser? If I remember correctly, it seemed to be a ship that maintained the Holy See. Hmm, that is, the ship that was previously under Sister Li's control?

Although Sister Richelieu later joined the Free Iris camp, the history of the old times is not that important now. Whether it is Free Iris or maintaining the Holy See, Richelieu is the recognized leader.

Sister Li, this ship is both handsome and gentle. She is very majestic when she is serious, and gives people the feeling of a big sister next door in daily life. The most important thing is that the strength of her ship equipment is not as regrettable as a certain Persian cat.

If you say that the Persian cat is weak, it is definitely not the case. Not only is her quality not low, but she also has the camp buff. But if you say that she is strong... she is the most embarrassing among the Three Musketeers of Europe. She is neither good nor bad. It can only be said that she is so-so.

In short, this ship girl named Foch is of purple elite rarity, her ship equipment must be strong, and her training level seems to be around level 50 or 60, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary Siren mass-produced ships. Prince Heinrich seems to have good popularity and is very prestigious in this neighborhood.

It was actually a bit embarrassing to suddenly transfer someone here to guard such a remote island, so Lin Xiao just gave the other party a small gift as a token of his appreciation.

Well, actually he didn't have any good stuff on hand. The only extra gold equipment he had was a gold twin-linked 203SKC main gun, and he also gave a purple torpedo as a spare for the little loli at home and a repair tool equipment.

These were not considered good things in Lin Xiao's eyes. All the ship girls at home who had ever gone on an expedition were equipped with a set of gold equipment as standard. Lin Xiao had also strengthened a lot of his equipment because of this. There was no other reason, he simply felt that it was too troublesome to change equipment all the time. Every time he went on an expedition, he had to check whether the ship girl had brought any equipment.

My wife, must have all the equipment!

Even those ship girls who basically don't attack have equipment on them, but most of them are gold or purple equipment with a level of enhancement.

This was pretty much the same equipment he sent to Foch.

But he thought these equipments were just average, but Foch didn’t think so!

God knows, she doesn't have a single piece of purple clothing on her body, and she uses a blue main gun. Where have you ever seen gold? My eyes are almost dazzled!

"This... Commander Lin Xiao, I can't accept such a valuable thing!"

Foch said with some difficulty. In fact, it was quite difficult for her to refuse such good equipment, but she was a principled ship girl. As the saying goes, one should not accept gifts without merit, so she could not accept other people's things for free.

"It's okay. It's not a good thing. I'll leave this place to you to guard. I have to give you some equipment, right?"

Lin Xiao said, waving his hand.

"No, no, no..." Foch waved his hands and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this job. The Maritime Administration pays me a good salary when I come here. I have to thank you very much for this. You should keep these equipment for your own ship girl."

"Forehead……"

Lin Xiao showed a somewhat distressed expression, "How should I tell you? These are all equipments that my ship girl can't use..."

There was no way. He was not the kind of person who liked to show off, but he had to find a reason to convince the blue-haired sister in front of him.

Sure enough, Foch was completely stunned after hearing this. He looked at Lin Xiao in astonishment, his eyes wide open, looking at the equipment in his hand, and then at Lin Xiao.

The gold equipment that has been enhanced at least five or six times is useless?

So what are they wearing?

PS: Sister Foch has set a trap, don’t rush to get out, I’ll talk about it later

Chapter 55 Return to College

Although he was shocked, after Lin Xiao explained clearly that these equipments were indeed extra spare parts in their port area, Foch finally accepted the equipment with gratitude.

Lin Xiao did not waste any more time. After saying goodbye to Foch, they boarded the cruise ship and left the town.

At this time, almost twenty days had passed since he left the college, and the date on the calendar had already entered January, with less than ten days left until the Chinese New Year.

It will take about three days to get back to Area C from here, which means that the Chinese New Year will be a week away. Lin Xiao had agreed with the ship girls at home to celebrate the Chinese New Year properly, so he didn't know if a week would be enough.

Decorating the venue, preparing food ingredients, writing couplets, buying New Year goods, if it were just an ordinary small family, a week would certainly be more than enough, but Lin Xiao's side is a large port area after all, and although there are not many girls returning now, with him included, the size of the port area has reached more than 50 people. With so many people celebrating the festival, the things that need to be prepared are completely incomparable to those of an ordinary small family.

But there's no need to worry too much. Isn't the secretary ship Noshiro still in the port? There are also a few reliable girls at home who will start preparing in advance... Besides, the children at home are almost on winter vacation these two days. After such a long period of classes, they should take a rest.

Although they cannot help with port affairs, the children of the ship girls are all strong and can still help with small tasks such as moving things. You can make a list for them and ask them to buy things at the nearby shopping mall when they go out to play.

And when they rush back two or three days later, there will be more people at home.

Come to think of it, this is my first New Year since I came into this world. Although it has only been over half a year, when I think back on it now, it feels like a long time has passed.

Before he knew it, there were more than fifty ship girls in the port area... More than fifty in half a year, so his progress wasn't that slow when he thought about it this way...

If that's the case, then in another two years... No, considering the emergence of the port area and the increasing popularity of the port area for various reasons, the speed at which the ship girls return may become faster. If everything goes well, we may be able to find most of the ship girls in a year and a half.

Well...the above was just his dream.

If we think about it more realistically, the reality is that the ship girls he has found so far are basically all relatively close to each other, either living in Area C or in the neighboring Area J. If not all of them are in these two places, at least most of the ship girls should have been found.

Some of the remaining ship girls in these two regions are scattered in various small port cities, and some are more likely to have gone inland. It is not easy to find them, and the ship girls who have run to other regions are even more difficult to find...

Apart from anything else, just running there would take a long time. What's more, if there are no clues, it would be extremely difficult to find it.

Although the past six months have been fruitful, it can be said that it is just a "benefit for newbies". The really difficult part is still to come.

Precisely because he was clearly aware of this, Lin Xiao did not waste any time on the way back. During his free time during the day, he would sit at his desk and start studying the plot settings with his pile of manuscripts. When he had inspiration, he would start writing the main text. Although the progress was not fast, if he did not slack off, after the Chinese New Year, he would work hard for more than a month, and then he could consider publishing the first volume.

It's just that I'm very motivated to write it, but I don't know what the actual effect will be. Don't think that you can provide a one-stop service for comic adaptation and animation, or even directly find some ship girls who are developing in the film and television industry to make TV series and movies. As a result, when it is released, you spend a lot of effort to promote it, and then it gets bad reviews and dies on the spot. That would be very embarrassing...

Although Lin Xiao was still quite confident, no one could say for sure about such things, so he could only do it first and talk later.

However, because we are back on the cruise ship, there are enough rooms and everyone does not live in a crowded place. Most importantly, the rooms are relatively closed and soundproofed, so it is difficult to hide some things that we had avoided before.

As expected, on the first night of our departure, the Helena sisters came to our door. We had no choice but to face them head on. After all, we had rested for a few days. We had no reason to hide any longer. We had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight them head on. The result...

Perhaps because he had rested for several days, it was impossible for him to win, but Lin Xiao did withstand the attacks of the sisters and even sounded the clarion call for a counterattack. However, two fists were no match for four hands, and he was defeated after being attacked from both sides.

Of course, it wasn't over after that. The next night, the loyal maid Sirius said seriously that she would come to serve him. She knocked on the door and walked into Lin Xiao's bathroom and started to wipe his back.

As for what happened afterwards, I can only say that those who understand will understand...

After returning to the cruise ship, life began to return to normal. I worked during the day and delivered food at night. My life was quite fulfilling.

In this way, about three days later, they returned to Area C smoothly.

----------

Lombardy City is an upscale residential area not far from the Maritime Administration. Many wealthy people who like quietness live here. Of course, some of them place their "friends" here and only come to live here occasionally when they are on "business trips" or "working overtime".

"Speaking of which, I heard that building was bought by someone before."

"A whole building? Really? Who is that rich?"

Even if there are rich people who have enough money to buy a house here, they can't just buy one. Although this is a high-end community, it is not an "aristocratic area". The residents here are rich, but not too exaggerated.

"I'm not sure. It was said that a commander bought it. Recently, many people have seen shipgirls walking out of it."

"Commander... Even if he is the commander, he must be a very powerful commander, right?"

Obviously, the nearby residents are still very interested in the new resident who suddenly bought a building, especially when it comes to matters involving the commander and the ship girl. Everyone likes such gossip.

Of course, no one would bother them. On this day, the children in the family ran out of the apartment building as usual, cheering and playing while rushing to the nearby supermarket. At the end of the team, Sheffield had a blank expression on his face, but sighed helplessly, and then hurriedly followed, fearing that some naughty child would break the railing or the car...

Chapter 56: The Popular King Xiao Jiajia (referring to persecution)

"Sister Sheffield, when will the commander be back?"

Among the noisy group of destroyers, the most well-behaved Hatsuharu was walking at the end. A "big sister" with a good figure was holding her hand, and the two walked side by side.

These are the two people who give Sheffield the least trouble.

"I don't know."

Unfortunately, Sheffield couldn't answer the other party's question and could only shake his head. His expressionless eyes also carried a bit of warmth when he looked at the two little cuties.

"Teacher, you're not coming back?"

Anchorage looked pitiful, with his lips slightly pouting, like a kitten that was ruthlessly abandoned, with a face full of QAQ.

"No." Although he was not good at comforting people, Sheffield still said the negative words with a headache, and then followed it up with another sentence - "St. Louis and Helena are here. Even if he wants to run, they will definitely catch him back."

A passer-by broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. Is he behind the times? Aren't all shipgirls kind, gentle, warm and generous? Are shipgirls this age so tough?
