Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

"Rebellion... Alas, the commander is not really a child." Tirpitz sighed and held his forehead.

She almost forgot that Frederick the Great was extremely tolerant and even doting on the commander.

But could this level of doting really reach this extent?

Under a big tree not far away, Hutten folded her arms and stared at Frederick the Great in the distance. She saw every move of the other party. The ease and comfort he showed was really...envious.

Hu Teng shook his head irritably, as if trying to drive all distracting thoughts out of his mind.

She was the only person present who knew the true relationship between Frederick the Great and Dühring.

After the confrontation that day, she did not tell anyone about the relationship between the two men. That was not her style.

Because of this, this secret is like a flame, constantly burning Huteng's heart.

At this moment, Frederick the Great, who was moved, turned his head and saw Hutten in distress under the tree.

"Haha~"

Frederick the Great narrowed his eyes.

How long will Hu Teng endure? I am really looking forward to her next reaction~

Although everyone was unhappy about Durin's date with the head maid, they had to admit that with Belfast accompanying them, at least the commander's personal safety was guaranteed.

Of course, personal safety on another level is probably not guaranteed.

Some people wanted to go look for them, but were stopped by the leaders of their respective camps.

"No matter what, please trust the commander."

"That's right. With the commander's character, he will never do anything to let everyone down."

"Hehe~ As for the commander, I will definitely not take action. After all, he has never responded to any of your hints!"

As such comments spread, everyone gradually calmed down.

In the past three years, many ship girls have taken the offensive against the commander, and some of the strong ones have even stepped half a foot into the field of crime.

But even so, the commander was not captured.

After all, no matter what, no one would really resort to coercive means against the commander's wishes.

Even Belfast would not be able to break through the commander's defenses.

With this thought in mind, the crowd began to disperse.

Some of them were already secretly thinking about how they could go on a date with the commander.

Sheffield breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the storm gradually subside.

The Royal Faction will be in charge of the position of secretary ship this week. In the absence of Belfast, Sheffield will take on the mission of the first secretary ship to stabilize the situation.

In the office, Sheffield slumped on the sofa and sighed tiredly:

"...Belfast, you are so happy yourself, but you leave this mess to me..."

Time passed slowly, and by the afternoon Sheffield became uneasy again.

It's already this late and the two haven't come back yet. Isn't this date a little too long?

Looking at the gradually cloudy sky outside the window, Sheffield had a bad feeling in his heart.

No way, are they going to...

By checking the weather, Sheffield discovered that the sea areas near the port area would be affected by a typhoon.

Even in the port area on the edge, strong winds began to blow and heavy rain was about to begin.

Late in the evening Sheffield finally received the communication from Belfast.

The content of the simple message was quite explosive; Sheffield's premonition came true.

"What a Belfast..."

Sheffield was shaking all over after reading the message.

"Sheffield?"

Charybdis on the side looked at her companion worriedly. It was the first time she saw Xie Fei show such an expression.

It's... so scary.

"Master and Belfast...did they encounter any accidents?"

Sheffield took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Finally, he said woodenly:

"...They were caught in a rainstorm and they won't be coming back today."

"Eh?" Charybdis blinked, then exclaimed:

"Eh----"

Even Charybdis knew what it meant to stay out all night on a date.

Volume 42: Chapter : Tensions and Peace

"Sheffield, what's next?"

Charybdis was in a trance and at a loss as to what to do after hearing the news.

"Should...should we keep the news secret?"

This was the first method that Charybdis thought of.

As the saying goes, relatives protect each other. Needless to say, the commander is the most important person in Charybdis. Belfast is the representative of the royal maids and must also be protected.

Under such circumstances, the first thing the honest Charybdis thought of was to conceal the news.

"Oh, it's useless."

Sheffield fell on the sofa, his eyes full of fatigue.

"Look out the window."

Charybdis went to the window and looked out quietly, but she was shocked by what she saw.

There were quite a few people gathered in the square outside the office building. Although it was dark due to the approaching storm, there were still people gathering downstairs.

With just a quick glance, Charybdis recognized quite a few people.

Bismarck from the Iron Blood camp, Taiho from the Sakura Empire camp, Helena from the White Eagle camp, and even Pinghai Ninghai from the Eastern Glory camp are all there.

There were some other people besides these, but Charybdis had no time to investigate because Bismarck downstairs was looking up at the window.

The sharp gaze under the brim of the hat was particularly oppressive, and Charybdis was shocked.

"Alas!"

Charybdis quickly squatted down to avoid exposing his body.

Sheffield, who was standing next to him, turned his head and saw that his royal companion was trembling with his legs hugged, his face as pale as paper.

"...I told you, it's useless."

Sheffield could guess most of what was happening outside.

According to common sense, the commander who returns from an outing will definitely return to the office, so waiting here is a very wise choice.

Charybdis looked worried:

"So...what should we do then? Just tell everyone the news?"

"...There is no other way." Sheffield snorted.

"...The master is the master after all, so let him deal with those troublesome matters. This is also a kind of punishment."

Charybdis remained silent. The situation before her was completely beyond her ability to handle.

At this time, downstairs, Bismarck stood in front of the main door and was about to enter, but two figures stopped her on the left and right.

Dido and Sirius, who were in solitary confinement, were now acting as gatekeepers with great energy.

"Stop it there, Miss Bismarck!"

In response to Dido's shout, Bismarck stopped and glanced at the other party expressionlessly. Dido couldn't help but shiver.

The strength gap between the two sides is too big.

Even without using the ship equipment, Dido had no confidence in defeating the leader of the Iron Blood camp.

Bismarck is also a very special existence in the port area.

She accompanied Du Lin for a very long time, and her flagship had suffered severe damage for some reasons.

Just when all his companions thought that Bismarck would never be able to fight again, Dühring chose to personally take care of this leader of the camp who seemed indifferent but actually attached great importance to his companions.

Finally, under Dühring's careful care, Bismarck was sublimated to the extreme, gaining new power beyond the past, and its ship equipment was also completely renewed and became more majestic.

Because of this, Bismarck had a strong concern for his commander, and because he was clumsy and not good at expressing his emotions, this concern sometimes led to huge misunderstandings and damage.

"...get out of the way."

Bismarck didn't say much, just uttered two words.

Sirius and Dido's throats rolled, and their legs were shaking slightly uncontrollably.

This is the body's instinctive reaction due to a huge gap in strength.

But... they will never back down.

The two people who should have been put in solitary confinement have now been released by Sheffield. Naturally, they are grateful and want to make up for their crimes with merit.

"Ms. Bismarck, we have received an order from the secretary ship Sheffield to stay here strictly." Sirius said under pressure:

"In the absence of the master, the secretary ship's authority is absolute, isn't it?"

Bismarck's eyes moved and he was slightly hesitant.

As a soldier, she attaches great importance to abiding by the rules.

There are indeed regulations within the port area as Sirius mentioned.

Just now...

"It's getting late today, and the commander hasn't returned yet." Bismarck said slowly:

"I just want to get an accurate statement."

The commander never stayed outside without reason, and he would report to everyone fully every time he went out.

But this time was an exception. The commander actually went out on a date with someone else, which had already caused a commotion among the people in the port area. If he didn't come back all night again...

When Bismarck thought of that possibility, his heart ached. This inexplicable negative emotion made Bismarck extremely irritated.

"this......"

Sirius and Dido were very embarrassed. They could understand Bismarck's concerns to some extent, and in fact, they both wanted to know the answer urgently.

"Miss Sirius, Miss Dido..."

At this time, Helena came over, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and said with a worried look on her face:

"Commander, he...didn't send back a communication? Please let us in, we want to talk to Miss Sheffield."

If Bismarck's tough attitude could still provoke rebellion among the maid guards, then Helena's pitiful and pleading look was really irresistible.

Just when they were in a dilemma, Sheffield's voice came from above their heads:

"...Don't embarrass them."

The people waiting below looked up at the window and saw Sheffield there.

"Huh..." Sheffield took a long breath, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"The master sent a message that he will...stay out tonight."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whistling sound of the surrounding wind instantly dissipated.

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

On the third morning of the day when the Royal Faction took control of the secretary ship, the storm that had hit Sakuura Port last night finally stopped.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the bright sunshine illuminated the entire Sakura Lake. Everything was flourishing in the vigorous vitality.
