Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

The layout of the Sakura Empire's territory is different from that of the royal family. There are no magnificent, neatly arranged huge palaces here, but instead there are some small and exquisite buildings.

These buildings are built along the mountains and rivers, and there is a wonderful sense of harmony in the chaos.

As Du Lin walked through it, he felt as if he was in a paradise.

"What happened yesterday..." Du Lin quickly followed Kaga and whispered to her:

"Thank you so much."

"...Commander, I don't understand what you mean."

Du Lin scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"...If it weren't for your encouragement, my relationship with Akagi wouldn't have progressed so quickly..."

This is Du Lin's true feeling.

It was precisely because of Kaga's somewhat tough and overbearing approach that Du Lin and Akagi were able to take the most critical step.

At this moment, Du Lin's heart was filled with happiness. How could he not thank Kaga who made all this happen?

"is it?"

Kaga's brows relaxed:

"...As long as the Commander and Akagi are satisfied. Hehe, judging from her performance during breakfast, Akagi-san is very happy."

Du Lin noticed that Kaga showed a smile he had never seen before, and Akagi's happiness seemed to be her happiness.

"Um... Kaga, why do you call Akagi sister?"

This problem has troubled Du Lin for a long time, and now this situation is just right to be used as a topic of communication.

"Well..."

Kaga crossed his arms and pondered his words, and finally said slowly:

"...Although we are not real sisters, Akagi usually takes good care of me, just like...a sister. So I don't know when I started calling Akagi like this."

Recalling the scene when he first called "Sister", Kaga couldn't help but laugh:

"Akagi's reaction at that time was really interesting."

"So that's it."

Du Lin nodded slightly. There were many ship girls in the port area who were like sisters, but Akagi and Kaga were the only special ones.

"What about Amagi?"

Du Lin suddenly thought of the sickly military strategist of the Sakura Empire.

Speaking of Amagi, Kaga's expression became more serious:

"...She is an indispensable figure in the Sakura Empire, and a very important person to Akagi. But to me, Miss Amagi is Miss Amagi, and Akagi is special in my heart."

Kaga said it very tactfully, but Du Lin understood the implication.

Amagi is a good companion to Kaga, and this does not make him any different just because she is Akagi's sister.

Du Lin thought thoughtfully, if that was the case, then Kaga and Amagi must have gotten along very well.

"Kaga attaches great importance to Akagi."

"...Yes, Akagi is very important to me. Her happiness is my happiness." Kaga suddenly turned his head and looked at Du Lin:

"...Similarly, the commander's happiness is also my happiness."

"Really?" Du Lin said with a smile:

"Then it seems that you have got double happiness now."

"...hehe."

Kaga chuckled and did not comment.

The two walked side by side, Du Lin put his hands behind his head and looked up at the clear blue sky.

"Kaga, what is your happiness?"

"Hmm?" Kaga tilted his head, somewhat puzzled:

"...Commander, didn't I tell you? My happiness is..."

"No, no, no." Du Lin shook his head:

"I mean your own happiness. Besides Akagi and me, you must have your own pursuits and desires, right?"

"My own...quests and desires?"

Kaga carefully savored Du Lin's words, and finally shook her head and said:

"...That kind of thing doesn't exist."

"That's it..."

Du Lin didn't ask any further, but he could see that Kaga had already started thinking about this issue.

There is nothing wrong with building your own happiness on the happiness of others. It can even be said to be a warm act.

But...is this really a good idea?

Du Lin had such doubts, but he did not point them out directly.

Because that would seem extremely arrogant. After all, no matter what Kaga thinks now, this is the path she has chosen.

It is not Duhring's style to casually criticize other people's paths.

The two continued walking, and suddenly Du Lin heard footsteps behind him.

"Ok?"

He turned around subconsciously, and before he could see clearly, a dark shadow suddenly pounced on him and hugged him in his arms.

"Hey! I found a cute commander~~"

A mature and cheerful voice came into Du Lin's ears, but he could not see anything now because his entire face was buried in the soft and fragrant valley.

"Woooo!!"

Unable to breathe, Du Lin struggled and whimpered. At this moment, he heard another voice:

"Atago, let go! The Commander can't breathe!!"

“Oh my god~~”

Du Lin finally broke free from the embrace and breathed in fresh air desperately.

At this time, Du Lin also saw clearly the culprit who almost killed him with his chest.

"Atago!! And... Kaohsiung."

Two tall women appeared in front of Du Lin. They were Atago and Kaohsiung from the Sakura Empire camp.

They were both wearing snow-white military uniforms and black stockings, and both had beautiful long, shiny black hair.

The only difference is that sister Kaohsiung's long hair is tied into a high ponytail, while Atago's hair is casually draped behind her.

Atago looked at Du Lin with a smile, and the pointed ears on her head trembled slightly, which was a sign that she was in a very good mood.

Unlike her sister who freely displayed her affection, Kaohsiung was more serious. She bowed her head slightly to apologize to Du Lin:

"...I'm sorry Commander, my sister caused you trouble...are you okay?"

Du Lin waved his hands quickly:

"It's okay, it just happened too suddenly and I was a little scared."

Atago next to him had no sense of making a mistake and continued to smile:

"I saw the Commander from a distance and ran over here~~ Commander, let me hold you for a while~~"

After saying that, without waiting for Du Lin's response, Atago once again hugged Du Lin in her arms and kept rubbing Du Lin's head like a sister.

Volume 196: Chapter : The Grassroots Team

Atago, a Sakura Empire shipgirl who is particularly enthusiastic towards Durin.

Every time she saw Du Lin, she would hug him directly in her arms.

The facial cleanser I just used is proof of this.

Du Lin broke free again, put his hands on his waist and sighed:

"Atago, don't pounce on me so suddenly next time. It really tests your heart's endurance."

"Eh?!"

Atago could not hide her disappointment:

"But Atago just wants to love the Commander well."

"Hurt...Love?"

"Yes, it's just like this~~"

Atago opened her arms and hugged Durin again, but this time her movements were much gentler, and she spoke in an even gentler voice:

"How is it? Sister's embrace is warm, right? So don't mind, just enjoy your sister's embrace~~"

"Sister" is what Atago calls herself in front of Du Lin. She seems to enjoy this identity very much, and uses it to justify her love for Du Lin.

The so-called love is some excessive physical contact.

Atago has animal ears, and this behavior makes her look like a passionate and arrogant big dog.

Coupled with its usual snow-white uniform and long black hair, Du Lin couldn't help but think of some dogs that are good at destroying houses.

"Atago!"

Seeing his sister making such a fuss again, Kaohsiung couldn't help but remind her:

"Don't you see that the Commander is very troubled?"

"Really?" Atago blinked and hugged tighter:

"You look like you're enjoying yourself, right? Commander~"

"Well......"

Du Lin found it hard to deny this.

Atago has an extremely explosive and perfect body, which cannot be concealed even by the tight-fitting and hard-fabric military uniform.

Therefore, every hug with facial cleanser is both a torture and a benefit for Du Lin.

And... Atago has a very nice smell...

Kaohsiung held his forehead and sighed:

"Commander, how can you look so happy?"

Du Lin could only laugh dryly at this.

"...That's about enough."

At this time, Kaga, who had been watching for a long time, intervened in the conversation:

"Atago, let the commander go."

"Oh, Kaga is acting like a guardian."

Atago let go of Du Lin and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Speaking of which, isn't Akagi a little too cunning? I also want the commander to live in my house."

"This..." Kaga was a little embarrassed:

"...it's hard to deny."

After all, Doolin is not Akagi's private property. This week's commander belongs to all members of the Sakura Empire.

However, such a Du Lin was occupied by Akagi first.

However, Akagi also gave his own explanation: The commander lives with me just for the convenience of work.

But such statements could not deceive others. Everyone in the Sakura Empire could see that it was Akagi's possessiveness that was at work.
