Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

The atmosphere just now was very dangerous. Ron's affectionate confession made Du Lin's heart itchy, but Du Lin did not let the small head defeat the big head. He still maintained his last bit of rationality.

Now that the beautiful atmosphere has been destroyed, it is Du Lin's turn.

"That being said, isn't a hug also physical contact after all? I have no doubt about your feelings, but I also feel many other emotions from this feeling."

Ron's feelings for him were so pure, yet so complicated.

This feeling contains an extremely high concentration of love, as well as resentment and jealousy that are no less than love, and even madness.

This is Ron's emotional state.

These seemingly conflicting emotions are perfectly mixed together. You cannot extract them separately. If you do, you can't call it Ron's "love".

Extremely special, extremely heavy...but also extremely pure, this is how Du Lin felt.

Du Lin expressed his feelings without any concealment, without any special rhetoric, just plain and straightforward narration.

After hearing Du Lin's answer, Ron remained silent for a while.

After a while, she smiled and said softly:

"...As expected of you, Commander, we are indeed..."

Before Ron could finish, Du Lin spoke first:

"They are indeed similar, aren't they?"

Ron opened his eyes slightly:

"...Commander, how do you know...what I'm thinking?"

"Haha, this is not difficult at all."

Du Lin gently stretched out his arms and broke free from Ron's restraints.

He rolled over to face Ron.

In the dim room, with the moonlight outside the window, Du Lin could see Ron clearly at a close distance.

"Don't you and I have similarities?"

"In that case, why is it so difficult for me to know what Ron is thinking?"

This question left Ron speechless.

She always regarded herself as a hunter, and was pleased with the similarities between her and the commander's inner qualities, but she also insisted that she had to understand Durin better.

This judgment is not wrong.

Du Lin's behavior in the previous two years was within Ron's expectations.

This doesn't mean that she completely understood Du Lin's thoughts, but that when Du Lin did something, Ron could quickly understand why he did it.

This feeling was so wonderful that Ron felt like he was protecting Du Lin in the palm of his hand.

With this similar trait, Ron gained a full sense of security in his relationship with Du Lin.

However, this sense of security has been gradually eroded and destroyed recently.

The commander has changed.

Ron felt that Du Lin was becoming a stranger, and his behavior patterns were always beyond Ron's expectations.

For example, the incident in Belfast took Ron by surprise.

In the past, Durin was always focused on the war. As for the overt or covert emotional expressions of the ship girls, he would either pretend to be stupid or just laugh it off.

Rarely has a response been as clear and concise as this one.

This made Ron feel lost and hesitant, and she suddenly felt that the bond between her and the commander was disappearing.

The cracks in Ron's heart continued to tear and widen.

Volume 142: Chapter : Accepting Everything About Each Other

It was under this kind of uneasiness that Ron's already delicate psychology was completely unbalanced.

Without fighting, she couldn't vent her pent-up emotions and could only bury them deep in her heart and digest them silently.

But this digestion has its limits, and Ron's patience is reaching its limit.

That's why she decided to sneak into the infirmary.

That night, facing Du Lin who was sleeping in the infirmary, she could have done more, but she finally managed to restrain herself.

But today, she could no longer endure it.

Because even destroyers such as Z23 were ahead of her.

Ron stared at Durin who turned around. The commander in front of him was so familiar. Every hair and every inch of skin had already been engraved in Ron's mind.

Looking at Du Lin like this, with the words he had just said echoing in his mind, Ron suddenly understood something.

"So... that's how it is..."

Ron closed her eyes briefly and opened them quickly again. This time, the confusion and bewilderment in her eyes had faded, replaced by tranquility and peace.

"The commander has changed, but he is still the same commander..."

No matter how much the style of doing things changes, the essence of the commander remains unchanged.

He is still the gentle commander who cares about the ship girls in the port area.

But compared to the seriousness and solemnity in the past, the commander is now more "straightforward" and "honest", especially in terms of desire.

As if responding to Ron's guess, Du Lin slowly spoke at this time:

"...Ron and I have a lot in common. We both have another self hidden deep inside of us, but I didn't realize it in the past... No, I should say I deliberately ignored it."

Looking back on the past, when faced with the feelings of the ship girls, Du Lin always responded by ignoring and avoiding them.

This is because the war is not over yet, and Du Lin does not want his personal feelings to affect the operation of the port.

But after peace came, Du Lin was finally able to begin to unload his burdens and face his own heart.

"...The other me is a jerk. I always want to do something excessive to everyone, including Ron. I am also very lazy and casual. I have no strong resistance to temptation. But...this is also me. I shouldn't have the slightest escape or shame. I have decided to face this self head on."

Du Lin gradually expressed his thoughts:

"It's the same with Ron. Whether it's the gentle Ron who cooks for me, or the aggressive and even hysterical Ron, these are all Ron. No matter which one is missing, it's not a complete Ron."

"So, just show your true self in front of me. No matter what kind of person Ron is, I will accept him with open arms."

As he spoke, Du Lin raised his arms, took Ron in his arms and held him in his arms.

"what......"

Ron let out a soft cry. This was the first time she was hugged so gently by Du Lin.

“So warm…”

Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, quietly feeling the beauty.

She likes hugging very much, because she can feel the vitality of life through the skin contact of hugging, and can also sense the other person's mood from the other person's temperature and subtle body changes.

Now in Du Lin's arms, Ron felt so much.

The commander's heartbeat came through the tightly pressed chest and gradually resonated with Ron's heartbeat.

Magnificent and pure life, this is how Ron felt after being hugged by Du Lin.

Like, like very much...

Just by being close together, Ron felt the emptiness in his heart being gradually filled.

That is the energy called love.

"...Commander, will you really accept all of me?"

"Of course, a gentleman's words are hard to follow."

"...Really? Sometimes I show a very scary side...I might even disobey the commander's orders..."

"Don't worry, when the time comes I will overcome all difficulties and give Ron a hug."

"...Really? Then I feel relieved."

The corners of Ron's mouth curled up slightly, and she hugged Du Lin again with her backhand.

"...But, one hug is too little..."

"Eh...So what else does Ron want?"

"...Hehe~ Commander is really mean. You've already thought of this, right?"

As he spoke, Ron raised his head and moved towards Durin who was standing nearby.

Du Lin lowered his head in tacit understanding, and finally their lips touched.

——Chirp.

"Not enough, not enough."

Ron's desire was magnified to the extreme at this moment.

"Commander...please love Ron."

This whisper was extremely deadly and completely broke through Durin's last line of defense.

A heart-shaking sound was heard from the dim room.

It was intermittent at first, but soon turned into gentle weeping.

It took a long time to calm down.

That night, Doolin and Ron opened up everything to each other.

............

"Today, we will be on duty together."

Bismarck, with his hands on his waist, looked around at the people in the room with full of dignity: Frederick the Great, who was smiling calmly as always, Hutten, who was playing with his hair out of boredom, Tirpitz, who was taking notes seriously, and Z23, who was a little nervous but full of energy.

But this is not enough.

There are still two important people missing.

"...Why haven't the commander and Ron arrived yet?"

Z23 proposed a conjecture:

"Yes...did you sleep in? The weather has been getting hotter lately, so it's easy to stay in bed."

Z23's guess comes from Lafite. Recently, Lafite has been getting up later and later.

Bismarck frowned slightly:

"Although the commander is much lazier, he has never been late. The same goes for Ron. She shouldn't make such a low-level mistake."

After saying this, Bismarck looked worried:

"...Is there something wrong with the commander?"

Bismarck was not too worried about Ron's safety. With Ron's strength, he didn't need to worry about anything.

But the commander is different. From a human perspective, he can be called a superman, but in the eyes of the ship girls who use the power of the ship equipment, Durin still seems a little weak.

"Hehe~ Instead of worrying about it here, why not just go over and take a look."

Frederick the Great spoke, her arms folded, her chest shaking slightly:

"The commander was resting in his residence yesterday."

Within the port area, Du Lin has two main places to stay overnight. One is a small room connected to the office, and the other is his independent residence.

Of course, there is now a third option: the rooms of other ship girls.
