Revisiting Azur Lane

Zhou He couldn't help but laugh too. He greeted a few people, then turned around, squatted down, picked up Xili in one go, and went upstairs directly with the weight on his back.

"Wow, the Commander is pretty amazing too."

Royal Ark had always been among the crowd. She envied Zhou He for being able to stick to the destroyers openly, but she was more relieved. After all, Zhou He was a man of good character who could stand the test and would not let the destroyers suffer any grievances.

"Hehe, you don't know, when the commander first came to the port..."

Zuikaku, who had been acting drunk and silly outside, had returned to normal, and began to talk like a seasoned veteran about what happened when Minato Ward was just starting out, more than a month ago, attracting a lot of attention.

On the other side, Zhou He, who was originally a little nervous and expectant about going to bed, looked at Yudachi who rolled over on the bed and fell asleep with the quilt rolled up. He shook his head helplessly, turned around, put his hat on the table, took off his clothes, went into the bathroom and started taking a shower.

He thought it would be an unforgettable night, but it turned out to be unforgettable in a different sense.

But it doesn't matter. Yuudachi has already put on the ring and officially became his fiancé. The rest are all trivial matters. After being busy outside for so long today, it is normal for Yuudachi to be tired.

"It's obvious that buying a ring in the game will give you a wedding dress skin, but the system requires you to buy it yourself. How stingy."

Zhou He was steaming hot after taking a shower. He put on his gray pajamas, sat at the table, took out his diary, and wrote down November 11rd. This day next year will be the anniversary of him and Yudachi.

"We dealt with the observer today. There are still testers in the Siren Base."

Keeping track of the time, Zhou He began to think about future attack arrangements: Today could be said to be a great victory, and tomorrow he would definitely have to pursue the victory. However, with the lessons learned from today's observers, the testers would definitely not be fooled into attacking the enemy again. His plan to reduce the number of sirens in the base by luring them out of their holes would definitely not work.

Another strange point is that the Purifiers who entered the Mirror Sea did not send troops to join the Observers to attack him, nor did they take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Mirror Sea and escape.

He thought that a key point could be made here. According to the observer, as long as this port area created by the system exists, it will affect the surrounding space and make it unstable. He has actually experienced it many times. So, has similar changes also occurred in the mirror sea where the Purifier is now?

"If that's the case, then Purification-kun is such an unlucky old fellow."

Zhou He couldn't help but click his tongue twice. The Purifiers and Testers in the game were the hardworking and good employees of the experimental agency. Whenever there was an activity, these two would appear. They were always there when someone got beaten. Now that they were related to him, it seemed that these two would be heading towards a situation similar to that in the game.

"How about this time we don't use the deception route, but rush directly into the archipelago and break through it first?"

He had some ideas. With Xuefeng in the Siren Base, they could definitely take it down. However, the observers had been there for so long, and there was no guarantee that there might be some high-tech weapons that could kill their own shipgirls instantly. And with Xuefeng in the Mirror Sea, they could definitely penetrate it, and the threat was much lower than that of the base. As the saying goes, you should pick the softest ones first...

After a moment, Zhou He had an idea and wrote a few words in his diary. He raised his head to look out the window at the pitch-black and windy night, got up, tidied himself up and returned to the bed. Looking at Yuli, who was sleeping in a not-so-honest posture, he chuckled, reached out to turn off the light and got into bed.

The bed had been warmed by Yudachi, but even warmer was Yudachi herself. As soon as Zhou He got into the quilt, he felt like he was discovered, and Yudachi's sweet and soft body instinctively pressed against him.

The next day, Zhou He woke up from his dream. He couldn't remember the content of the dream, but there was a trace of warmth left in his heart. It was a very beautiful dream, vaguely related to Yudachi.

When he opened his eyes, what came into view was Yuli's pretty face. Her red eyes like gems were staring straight at him. Her fair and pretty face was full of expectation and curiosity. When she saw Zhou He open his eyes, she showed a lovely smile. Her small canine teeth were very eye-catching. The scene was like a continuation of a dream. Zhou He instinctively reached out and pulled Yuli into his arms, closing his eyes and feeling this happy moment.

"?"

The next second, Zhou He opened his eyes with a strange expression, and found that the buttons of his pajamas had been undone at some point, and Yuudachi, who had buried his head in his chest, was actually licking his chest with his tongue (? ). The wonderful experience made him shudder. He could feel that although Yuudachi's tongue had no barbs, there was a subtle scratching sensation. It was his first time experiencing this, and he didn't know if this was normal.

Apart from other things, he could feel his little brother suddenly pulling the flag again, making him move back with some difficulty, lowering his head and pinching Yudachi's chin with his hand, smiling with a color that was not usually in his eyes: "You slept so soundly at night, why are you so energetic this morning?"

"Hehe, you must be refreshed after a good rest."

Yuli's smile was a bit cunning, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a dishonest person, but at this moment, in Zhou He's eyes, he had a unique attraction. He didn't care about Yuli's reaction and lowered his head to cover Yuli's little mouth.

Unfortunately, it was Zhou He's first time kissing someone, and his brain was overloaded, so he forgot all the tutorials before the time travel. After a simple kiss, they separated. Looking at Yudachi, who was shocked with his eyes wide open, he licked his lips and said proudly, "Now I am refreshed, it's time to get up."

He wanted to continue discussing with Yudachi, but he could still distinguish between reality and fantasy. If he and Yudachi, two rookies, really wanted to continue, they would have to spend at least an hour or two doing scientific research, and they would definitely be exhausted like a dog after finishing the work. How could they interact with other people in that mental state? He didn't want to make himself suffer.

It’s better to save these wonderful things for the evening.

After saying that, he stood up decisively, but Yuuri threw him to the bedside as if he would not admit defeat, and kissed him on the mouth. The force was so great that Zhou He could not have defended against it even if he had been prepared, and he was directly defeated by 10%.

Xili imitated Zhou He's chirping and sat up with satisfaction, revealing a smug smile. Then he jumped over Zhou He and landed on the ground, shouting happily: "Wake up!"

"..."

Zhou He felt a little uncomfortable. He never thought that Yuli would be so competitive because of him. He stood up helplessly and rubbed the shoulder that Yuli was holding, and then touched his lips. No matter how he thought about it, he was the winner, right?

Never mind, it doesn’t matter who takes the initiative.

Zhou He didn't think too much about it. Instead, he felt that it was a good thing for Yuudachi to take the initiative. After all, with the physical strength of the ship girl, he, an ordinary person, would definitely not be able to compete with her. The most ideal solution was for him to lie down and let others tinker with it automatically.

……

After washing and getting dressed, Zhou He took Yuuri out and went downstairs. This time, Ruihe did not block the door or make a noise, which made him feel relieved.

"Commander, are you so early today?"

When he got down to the first floor, someone greeted Zhou He with very rude words. Zhou He turned around and saw that it was Kaga BB. He nodded immediately, feeling that it made sense: "Getting up early is a virtue."

"Why do I feel underestimated by you, Commander?"

Kaga BB's intuition kicked in, she crossed her arms over her chest and raised her brows: "I heard from Zuikaku that when you first met Tosa, Commander, you were very scared of her. I'm Tosa's sister, be careful or I'll persuade Tosa."

Still whispering in your ear, does Tosa agree to sleep in the same room with you?

Although he thought so, Zhou He thought that confidence was one of Kaga BB's few strengths, so he gave her some face: "Just keep it to yourself, don't spread my dark history everywhere. At that time, I was still very green as a commander, and I really didn't know how to get along with a strong companion like Tosa."

"Hehe, I think so."

Kaga turned her head and chuckled twice. Zhou He didn't know why she was so proud. She was quite cool when she first joined, always following Tosa around, but now she is becoming more and more stupid.

While Zhou He was talking to Kaga, Yudachi ran away first. When Zhou He bypassed Kaga, Yudachi had disappeared. Zhou He could only greet the people in the living room first. There were not many people here. Except for Jarvis who was taking care of the infirmary and Hermione who was sweeping the road outside the door, there were only New Jersey and Nagato who was at a loss beside her.

"Good morning, New Jersey, Nagato."

Zhou He blindly guessed that Nagato bumped into New Jersey when he went out, and was then brought here directly, otherwise Nagato would not be with New Jersey. He was also a little afraid of New Jersey, in the physical sense.

"Hmm~"

Nagato responded honestly, but New Jersey made a strange sound. She looked Zhou He up and down, touched her chin and smiled: "The commander is in such good spirits, he must have had a good rest last night."

"Yeah, I had a dream that I wanted to be good."

Zhou He answered casually. He guessed that a small number of his ship girls were like Yudachi, who didn't know the vows and what marriage meant, but big ships like New Jersey and Kaga knew. Yesterday could be regarded as his and Yudachi's "wedding night". According to common sense, he shouldn't have gotten up so early today.

He also wanted to get up later, but Yuuri was like an animal, who wanted to sleep after eating. He couldn't just ignore Yuuri's wishes like an animal and force her to sleep later, right?

However, topics like this were not the type that could be discussed openly. He sat on the sofa and looked at the two beasts in front of him. He said seriously, "We had a pretty good result yesterday. In your opinion, should we continue the attack today?"

"Of course, since we have gained the upper hand, we must not give the enemy a chance to breathe. We must continuously reduce their combat units. Especially since the enemy outnumbers us, we should continue to exert pressure and force them to make wrong judgments."

New Jersey didn't think much about it. She is best at playing advantageous games. With the advantage in numbers, she can crush the enemy, and with the advantage in quality, she can continuously reduce the enemy's manpower.

"What is the current situation?"

Nagato joined the team just after the battle yesterday, and she was too quiet to understand the situation in the port area and the Sirens. This was a good opportunity, so she asked Zhou He directly.

As the number of people in the port area increased, the most thing Zhou He did was to explain the current situation to his new members. He already had his own set of rhetoric, and he quickly explained their strengths and weaknesses and those of the Sirens.

As for the current situation?

He glanced at the attack map, on which he could clearly see that all the nearby Sirens had shrunk around the Siren base where the tester was located. The only thing left was the mirror sea of ​​the archipelago in the South Sixth District. The entire map was extremely clean, but it was so clean that it made him feel uncomfortable. He felt as if the Sirens were shrinking.

"The Siren are very afraid of your power, but with the combat base behind them, it will be difficult for us to break through. Perhaps we can try to recapture the islands first, and then focus on the base."

Nagato was extremely surprised after listening to Zhou He's explanation. She did not see other people's battle yesterday. It was hard to imagine that only more than 30 people could force the Siren fleet of over a hundred to defend near the base.

But no matter how strong their fighting ability is, they are too few in number and will eventually get tired after fighting. The enemy is prepared and it will be difficult to capture them regardless of air strikes or frontal attacks. It is definitely not possible to bite off this bone by force.

She thought for a moment and continued, "Recovering the islands is only one of the options. Once we enter this so-called mirror sea, we will inevitably encounter powerful enemies inside. A long battle will inevitably affect our combat performance. We may be able to use this as a strategy to lure the garrison fleet out to wait for us."

This is a very simple reasoning. Any general with a normal mind would not miss such an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle. Moreover, the number of fleets on the Sirens' side far exceeds theirs. Nagato can conclude that the Siren cadre named Tester will come and wait for them to come out.

"That makes sense, but this will put a lot of pressure on you."

Zhou He thought of this last night. Once entering the Mirror Sea, his own ship girls would have to fight with the chess pieces inside, which would take an unknown amount of time. It would not only involve fighting, but also logistical pressure. For this reason, he had a bold idea, but he didn't know if it would work.

"Humph, if you can't even handle this little bit of pressure, then you should retire soon."

The person who spoke was not Zhou He and the other two, but Kaga who approached after hearing the words. There was a gleam in her eyes, and her tone was serious and her face was cold, without a trace of reservation. This was her true thought.

New Jersey and Nagato remained silent after hearing this. Zhou He shook his head and said, "We don't know the situation inside the Mirror Sea, so it's hard to tell whether this battle will be difficult or easy. Whether to execute it or not should be discussed after Hood and the others come over."

"I don't mind."

Kaga didn't care. He turned around and left after pretending to be cool. The remaining three people were a little uncomfortable. Nagato hesitated and asked in a low voice: "The Kaga I know is an aircraft carrier. Is he also like this?"

"No, but it's hard to say which of the two has the better personality."

Zhou He thought of Carrier Kaga. Judging from the time when Carrier Kaga became his temporary ship girl, Carrier Kaga was very obedient. However, Kaga BB had never disobeyed his orders since joining the port. It seemed that the two were similar in terms of obedience.

As for personality, Aircraft Carrier Kaga hasn't come to his house yet, so he can't feel it and can't judge his quality.

But there was one thing he could think of, that was the two Kaga would see each other every day and would definitely dislike each other.

It feels like it’s going to be fun.

Chapter 179 Surprise Inspection!

Xuefeng didn't sleep for half the night last night.

Unlike Nagashima and others who had become internet addicts and stayed up late playing games, she tossed and turned in bed. She felt a tightness in her chest whenever she closed her eyes. She tossed and turned until after three o'clock when she finally fell asleep. She was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, she was chased, caught and ridiculed by Yuudachi. She woke up again at daybreak.

"What's wrong with me."

Xuefeng, who usually only needs to sleep two or three hours a day to be full of energy, looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she looked a little haggard. She knew the answer, but she didn't want to accept it.

She was the only one in the room. It was too quiet and she couldn't stand it. She wanted to go out for a walk, but when she opened the closet, she saw the dress Zhou He gave her. It was a white lace dress with several black bows on the chest. It looked very beautiful.

The reason why Zhou He picked this dress for her was because he felt that this dress was somewhat similar to the dress for Xuefeng's skin in the game, and he believed that it would definitely suit Xuefeng.

Not long after, Yukikaze, wearing a beautiful white dress, walked out of her residence and took a walk in the port area before dawn. She ran into Ashigara and Zuikaku who were out early for exercise. After greeting them, she just watched them from the side, her mind drifting away to who knows where.

When the sky began to brighten, she saw Yuurichi running out from the headquarters, and her originally dazed mind instantly became clear - she looked at the sky, and if she was not mistaken, it was only nearly seven o'clock, and Yuurichi should still be sleeping soundly in bed, right?

"Hey, Yudachi, why are you up so early? Don't you feel tired?"

A group of people were actually standing on the lawn between the headquarters and the restaurant, and Jean Bal was also there enjoying the breeze. She was even more surprised than Xuefeng, and asked curiously after greeting them.

"Not tired."

Yuudachi jumped around lightly a few times, and everyone could see that she was no different from usual, but how could there be no difference?

Jean Bart was puzzled. When she had nothing to do these days, she would teach Yuli some common sense about men and women. Although she had never actually seen a newlywed couple do it, she believed that since Yuli was so cute, Zhou He should be unable to control himself if she just fiddled with him a few times on the bed, right?

At this time, the clever friend remembered that Yudachi was carried upstairs by Zhou He last night. Zuikaku asked immediately, and Yudachi answered honestly: "I fell asleep after dinner yesterday, and I don't remember anything after that."

"Huhu, this is so pitiful, Commander."

Ruihe laughed very happily. Zhou He always found ways to oppress and bully her. It was rare for Zhou He to be humiliated.

Jean Bart was speechless, but Yuudachi's behavior of going to bed after eating was consistent with her personality. He thought that his commander liked Yuudachi like this, so he patted Yuudachi on the shoulder and reminded her not to go to bed so early next time.

The conversation between the few people ended quickly, and Xuefeng, who was originally on the edge of the OB, had disappeared.

The scene shifted to the command room lobby. Zhou He had already discussed with New Jersey, but Hood still did not show up. Curious, he found Hermione sweeping the floor at the gate. Upon asking, he learned that when Bismarck brought the iron-blooded guys into the residence, Hood also led the team to move into the new home, leaving only Zhou He's caring maid Hermione and the nurse Jarvis still living here. Everyone else went to the small manor.

"Ms. Hood probably thought the commander would come down later today, so she didn't rush over."

Hermione observed Zhou He with a faint smile. As a maid, she knew a little about matters related to sleeping with the emperor. Although Zhou He had never mentioned any needs in this regard, she could conclude from her usual observations that Zhou He was trying his best to restrain himself. Now that he had a legitimate reason, it was not impossible for him to relax and get up at noon.

What she could observe, Hood could naturally see as well, but unfortunately they all guessed wrong.

But Hermione had some doubts. Zhou He and Yuli had been sleeping in the same bed for such a long time, but they had never done anything. Was it because Zhou He had great self-control, or did he not know much about this aspect, or did he lack confidence in himself?

Considering how Zhou He was usually extremely resistant to her "physical contact service", could it be that he was not resisting her, but had other reasons?

At this moment, Hermione's eyes became sharp. She walked to Zhou He with the broom in both hands and whispered in his ear: "If the commander does not understand the affairs of husband and wife, Hermione can help the commander personally."

Zhou He took two steps back silently: what was coming finally came. Fortunately, this time Hermione didn't just say "it's a maid's duty" and pushed him into a small dark room, otherwise he would have been in tears.

He looked at Hermione, whose face was gentle but eyes were firm. It would be a lie to say that his heart didn't beat faster when a girl like her, who knew a little about everything, was extremely obedient, did all the housework, and was particularly gentle and beautiful, came to him. However, he still denied it and shook his head in a relaxed tone: "Hermione, you think too much. It was just too late yesterday. I thought I still had to arrange combat missions today, so I went to bed early so that I would be more energetic and less likely to make mistakes."

"So that's what it is-"

Hermione felt a little regretful. She held the broom in front of her body with both hands and bowed to Zhou He: "Commander, you have done your duty. It is really rude of Hermione to doubt you. Please punish me, Commander."

The scene was very serious. Zhou He also cooperated by rubbing his chin. He tilted his head and stretched out his hand to lift Hermione's hair to look at the girl carefully, then he smiled and said, "Well, yes, then punish Hermione by always following me and serving me tea and water in the future."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Commander."

Hermione and Zhou He smiled at each other. Because their bodies were very close when they were interacting, they looked quite intimate from the perspective of a bystander when they were talking and laughing. So much so that Xuefeng, who had hurriedly walked out of the command building, almost couldn't hold back.

Well, she couldn't help it: "Hey! What are you doing?"

"!"

Xuefeng's voice was a little sharp, and the unguarded Zhou He was startled. He turned around and saw Xuefeng, who was wearing long boots and a dress, without even wearing pantyhose. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait a moment."

"!?"

Xuefeng couldn't stand his attitude, so she opened her eyes and didn't dare to say anything for a while. She just watched Zhou He and Hermione whispering to each other. Then Hermione turned and left, and Zhou He walked towards her. Usually she couldn't feel Zhou He's aura, but today Zhou He gave her a very strong sense of oppression, so when Zhou He walked towards her, she subconsciously stepped back, and ended up walking the wrong way, and was forced into a corner by Zhou He.
