Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

"Nagato, are you okay?" Du Lin lowered his head and asked softly.

Because of the height difference, his breath landed right next to Nagato's ear.

Nagato's body was tense and meaningless whimpers escaped from his tightly closed cherry lips. His ears, which were already red to begin with, became even redder, visibly, as if they were about to bleed.

Du Lin also noticed that Nagato's other pair of pointed ears were trembling slightly.

Du Lin didn't expect that his words would cause such a big reaction in Nagato.

What a sensitive body.

The corners of Du Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and he was already planning to tease and bully the girl in his arms.

"Nagato, do you want to continue reading?"

Du Lin's voice was exceptionally gentle:

"Why not just end it like this?"

"I...I can hold on." Nagato's little head swayed from side to side:

"Hurry... hurry up and keep going!"

Du Lin was somewhat amused. He didn't understand why Nagato continued to watch. Was it simply out of curiosity? Or was Nagato also enjoying the moment?

If it is the former, then Du Lin can conclude that under Nagato's serious appearance, there is actually another unserious side.

If it's the latter...then her teeth are too white, it's simply abnormal.

But if that's the case, wouldn't it be more worth teasing?

Du Lin smiled, and his "evil" nature began to show.

"Okay, I'll continue then."

He turned the pages of the book in a relaxed tone, and when the new page came into Nagato's sight, the girl's rapid and chaotic breathing suddenly stopped.

Durin observed Nagato with bated breath and noticed that her shoulders were trembling slightly.

It’s no wonder she is like this, because in this page the two protagonists completely break through the last cover and start fighting with real swords and guns.

To the well-informed Du Lin, this scene was not attractive at all, and could even be said to be a bit bland.

But Nagato had never seen this before, and her little brain froze instantly.

This simple scene might only make her blush and her heart beat faster, but watching this scene with the commander in his arms, the stimulation increased exponentially.

Seeing that Nagato didn't respond for a long time, Du Lin became a little worried:

"Nagato, are you okay?"

Du Lin's call was like restarting a switch, and Nagato finally resumed breathing, but this time his breathing was more rapid. Du Lin could even clearly hear the sound of Nagato's heart beating violently.

The sound was so loud that it felt like beating a drum.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Du Lin whispered devilishly:

"Nagato, have you been secretly watching these things? I didn't expect that the serious Princess of the Sakura Empire would have such a hobby."

Nagato panicked and quickly denied it:

"No...No! This is the first time I've seen this!"

"Really?" Du Lin looked unconvinced.

"There are quite a few books in the port area, but I have never seen such a book. And such a comic book appeared here... Is this a coincidence? It is really hard to believe."

"Woo!"

Nagato was confused and wanted to defend herself desperately, but she didn't know how to start.

After all, it was Nagato himself who asked Durin to continue flipping.

"You... don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in this kind of thing!"

When she got emotional, tears even welled up in Nagato's eyes, and the girl looked like she was about to cry.

“Wuwuwu…Wuwaaaaaaaa!!”

Nagato finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the little pearl fell down with the crying.

Du Lin was shocked. He just wanted to play a trick on the other party, but he didn't expect Nagato's reaction to be so intense.

"Why...why are you crying suddenly?!"

Du Lin was puzzled. Nagato was not a weak girl. As the daughter of the Sakura Empire and the flagship, Nagato was strong beyond her appearance.

This small body has endured too much pressure, but these pressures have never defeated Nagato.

It was precisely because of this strength that Nagato won the respect of everyone in the Sakura Empire.

Even the lawless Akagi has respect for Nagato.

But even such a person as Nagato now burst into tears in front of Durin.

Du Lin suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

He first looked outside the door. Fortunately, the shrine was deep enough, so Nagato's crying did not reach outside.

Otherwise, if Jiang Feng and others heard it...

Thinking of this, Du Lin began to sweat on his forehead.

"Feel sorry!"

Du Lin quickly apologized. Although he didn't understand why Nagato was crying, Du Lin knew that his teasing might have been too much.

Durin's apology worked, and Nagato's crying subsided a little, but big tears still rolled down from the girl's eyes.

"I... don't want to be misunderstood by the commander..."

Nagato clutched Durin's clothes with both hands and sobbed softly:

"...Nagato, you are not the kind of girl who has no shame..."

After hearing Nagato's fragmented explanation, Du Lin finally understood the reason.

The naive Nagato mistakenly thought that Durin saw her as a shameless girl, and she was very afraid that Durin would dislike her because of this.

Even the strong-willed Nagato was broken down at the thought of being disliked by Durin.

After understanding the reason, Du Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and at the same time felt a little distressed and ashamed.

Volume 214: Chapter : The Love Nagato Expects

Du Lin didn't expect that his opinion was so important in Nagato's heart.

Du Lin reflected on his own actions. To such a serious and innocent child, such bullying was indeed a bit cruel.

"Feel sorry......"

Dooling apologized again, he tossed the comic book aside and gently put his arms around Nagato.

"I was just joking... and no matter how Nagato behaves, he is an important person in my heart." Du Lin said seriously:

“That is something that never changes.”

Durin's statement had an immediate effect, and Nagato stopped sobbing.

The girl looked up into Du Lin's eyes and said timidly:

"Really? Even if this kind of comic appears in my room, you... Commander won't hate me?"

"Of course!"

Du Lin nodded heavily and gave a firm reply:

"My love for Nagato will not change because of this kind of thing. Besides, reading this kind of comic is not something to be ashamed of. I believe that everyone in Minato will be interested in this."

As if to prove the credibility of his words, Du Lin paused and gave an example:

"Even Hutten is like this."

"Eh?"

Nagato widened his eyes and said hesitantly:

"Hu Teng? Is that Miss Hu Teng from the Iron Blood camp?"

Du Lin nodded in affirmation:

"Oh, yes, that's her."

Nagato was very surprised by Du Lin's words. In her impression, the iron-blooded Miss Hu Teng was a serious, cold and somewhat cool person. It was hard to imagine that such a Miss Hu Teng would be interested in the comics just now.

But seeing how sure the commander was, it was hard for Nagato to doubt it.

Perhaps...the commander knows more about Miss Hutten.

In any case, Du Lin's words of comfort were effective.

Nagato felt relieved when he thought that Miss Hu Teng was no exception.

The most important thing is that Nagato can feel the familiar tenderness and warmth from Durin's hug.

Commander, I really don't mind reading those comics.

After she relaxed, Nagato suddenly became shy. She leaned on Durin's chest and whispered:

"Really...you, you are so mean..."

Du Lin accepted Nagato's small reprimand calmly:

"Haha, you mean it... more than one person has said that to me. Well, I won't deny it."

Du Lin is quite self-aware. He will not belittle himself, but he will not be arrogant either.

Du Lin never thought that he was great, nor did he want to be a saint or a perfect man. He was restrained but not negative about his desires.

After all, desire is also a part of oneself. If it is completely cut off, he will no longer be his true self.

Du Lin would admire those who could easily cut off their own desires, but he would also stay away from them.

He is just an ordinary person.

Hearing Durin say this, Nagato bit his lip and said:

"You...what did you mean by 'love'?"

Perhaps because she had just cried, Nagato was particularly bold at this moment. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, she mustered up the courage to attack Durin.

"What does it mean?" Du Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"So, Nagato, what do you think?"

Nagato was a little annoyed. She gently pinched Durin's flesh:

"...How rude! Don't answer a question with a question!!"

Du Lin gasped in pain. Nagato's attack was quite powerful, but Du Lin was determined to die.

"If that's what I mean by love..."

Du Lin pointed to the cartoon next to him with his eyes:

"So what is Nagato going to do?"

"Eh?!"

The girl screamed in surprise; this was a completely unexpected answer.

Nagato looked at the comics not far away, then looked at Durin in front of him, and finally the extreme scenes he had just seen emerged in his mind.

"Woo..."

There were blushes on Nagato's cheeks and steam was almost coming out of his head.

Commander, do you want to... do those things to yourself?

When he thought of this possibility, Nagato felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen, and at the same time, a desire arose from deep within his body.

As the flagship of the Sakura Empire, I shouldn't run away. I should...be brave and respond to the commander.

With this awareness, Nagato responded to Durin with his own actions.
