Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

The "reward" and "punishment" just now are a means of taming.

Du Lin felt a little guilty about taking this approach, because it was like CPUing Akagi and Taihou.

However, Du Lin is not just making empty promises, he also likes Akagi and Taiho very much.

Who could really hate a beautiful older sister who has passionate feelings for you and only belongs to you?

If Akagi and Taihou are captured by Du Lin, then Sakura Empire will be mostly safe.

However, to be on the safe side, Du Lin decided to have a talk with the person in charge of Sakura Empire.

"Is Nagato still asleep?"

The tamed Akagi nodded obediently:

"Yes, Lord Shenzi is still resting, but the scheduled maintenance of the sacred tree is about to end."

Dafeng added:

"Nowadays, according to the custom of the Sakura Empire, the affairs are managed by the senior."

The "senior" that Taihou mentioned is naturally Mikasa.

"Really? Then take me to see Mikasa."

Just as the three were about to leave, a light cough was heard behind them:

"No, I...I'm already here."

Mikasa walked out from behind a stone lampstand not far away, with a slight blush on her face and an unnatural look.

Volume 48: Chapter : An old man who can't keep up with the times

"Great senior!"

Akagi and Taihou cried out, they didn't expect Mikasa to appear at this time.

Du Lin was about to say something but stopped himself. Mikasa's timing of appearance was too clever, as if she had been waiting nearby for a long time.

"Mikasa..." Du Lin looked at this respected senior from the Sakura Empire:

"Did you see it?"

"Well!"

Mikasa's cheeks instantly turned red.

"Look...what do you see? I don't see anything!"

Mikasa's voice suddenly became high-pitched, which scared Du Lin.

Although she denied it, judging from her sensitive and panicked reaction, she did see it...

He saw himself hugging Akagi and Taihou on both sides.

In fact, Mikasa did see it.

Shenmu sensed Durin's return. As the current ruler of Sakura Empire, Mikasa naturally had to talk to Durin about the current situation.

Who would have thought that as soon as she walked to the door, she saw an astonishing scene from afar - Akagi and Dafeng were fighting for Du Lin's Shura Field.

Mikasa immediately hid behind the stone platform and watched the development of the situation silently from a distance.

As a veteran of the Sakura Empire, Mikasa is really not good at such occasions.

In her opinion, the way the younger generation of girls in the Sakura Empire express their emotions nowadays is really... too naked and intense, without any of the restraint and subtlety of the Taisho era.

Is it because of the generation gap? In any case, it is difficult for Mikasa to come forward in this situation.

Unlike on the battlefield, she could not give guidance to the younger generation on such matters, and had no experience to offer.

Mikasa thought that the quarrel between the two would escalate as usual because of the commander's silence, but who would have thought that the commander would launch a bold offensive next.

Mikasa saw with her own eyes that Durin took Akagi and Taihou into his arms and played with them in an extremely domineering manner. During this period, it was unknown what the commander said, but in the end he successfully resolved the conflict between Akagi and Taihou.

Mikasa was curious and shocked by this. She was curious about what they had said, and shocked by the strength and arrogance that Durin showed in the process.

Is this still the commander I am familiar with?

Although Mikasa, who was hiding behind the stone platform at that time, was only watching from afar, she still blushed and her heart beat fast because of the bold and presumptuous scene.

Now facing the three parties at close range, it is difficult for Mikasa to maintain her usual composure.

"Commander, what's with that expression on your face?"

Mikasa was irritated by Du Lin's half-smile. She cleared her throat, waved her hands and said loudly:

"How absurd! Ah, yes, I saw it all!"

"How dare you do such a shameless thing in front of the Sakura Empire? You...you are in front of the sacred tree. How disrespectful and blasphemous this is!!"

Du Lin was speechless. He didn't feel anything at first, but after Mikasa's red-faced scolding, he felt a sense of pleasure as if he had done something bad.

Mikasa's scolding not only failed to make Akagi and Taihou feel ashamed, but instead made them start complaining.

"Hey——Is the senior going to start again~?"

"Senior, forget about the lecture~"

Akagi and Taihou respect Mikasa very much, but this senior really has no right to speak on such issues.

After all, Mikasa is usually very serious and has no experience in love.

"Although the senior is a very nice person, he is just too old-fashioned."

"Taisho, Taisho, this is no longer the era. If you don't take the initiative now, you won't be able to win the commander's favor, right?"

"That's right, Senior, why don't you give it a try and win the commander's heart~ In this regard, Senior is our junior~"

"Hehe~ Becoming a senior's senior? That's a really good suggestion~"

Akagi and Taihou were talking to each other, leaving Mikasa dumbfounded.

"You...you actually..."

Mikasa never dreamed that these two juniors would take the initiative on this issue.

Mikasa was deeply shocked. Was she really out of date and unable to keep up with the times?

"Okay, stop bullying Mikasa."

At this time, Du Lin stepped forward to stop the "verbal bullying" of the two. Mikasa looked so pitiful now.

"I have something to say to Mikasa, you guys go back first."

"Hey - we also want to spend more time with the Commander~"

Akagi and Taihou could not hide their disappointment.

"Aren't you guys listening?"

Du Lin deliberately put on a stern face:

"Then the reward I mentioned before is..."

"Commander, let's go now!"

Akagi and Taiho quickly expressed their opinions, and then the two of them left reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

"Huh..." Du Lin let out a long sigh. It was indeed too tiring to deal with Akagi and Taiho at the same time.

Du Lin looked at the former flagship of the Sakura Empire and found that he looked distraught.

"Mikasa?"

"what!"

Mikasa came back to her senses:

"Eh? Where are Akagi and Taiho?!"

"They've already left." Du Lin asked curiously:

"I didn't even notice the two of them leaving...I didn't expect Mikasa would have a moment like this."

Obviously, what Akagi and Taihou just said was a huge blow to Mikasa.

"No, no, I just..."

Mikasa subconsciously wanted to explain, but in the end she bowed her head helplessly:

"...I'm sorry for making you see such an embarrassing scene."

"Hahaha..." Mikasa raised her head, smiled bitterly and scratched her cheek:

"...The war is over. I really have no right to preach to them outside the battlefield."

That’s right, my guidance to the younger generation is limited to combat.

"Times have changed. Maybe I should just shut up and accept the growth of my juniors. After all, no one likes to be lectured."

Mikasa tried her best to appear free and easy, but her loneliness was still hard to hide.

Du Lin looked at Mikasa like this and suddenly felt a little sympathetic.

"Mikasa, let's go see the sea together." Du Lin made an invitation.

Mikasa was a little surprised:

"Eh? Why... so sudden?"

"You are free now anyway, so just keep me company." Du Lin put his hands together in front of him:

"Mikasa, just consider it as fulfilling my little wish!"

"No... no need to be so serious." Mikasa's cheeks flushed slightly:

"I understand. I'll accompany you."

The two walked side by side and came to the coastal area of ​​the Sakura Empire's territory.

There is a pretty nice beach here. The sand is fine and white, and it feels great to step on.

"Summer is coming soon, let's come here to play then." Du Lin nodded with satisfaction at the sand under his feet, and then suddenly said:

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Mikasa in a swimsuit yet."

"Eh?!" Mikasa's shoulders trembled, and then her ears reddened and she cleared her throat:

"Commander, stop teasing me. What's so good about a swimsuit for someone like me? If you want to see a swimsuit, Akagi and Taiho will definitely satisfy your wish. Besides...don't they have better figures?"

"No, no, it's completely different." Du Lin turned around and faced Mikasa, and said very seriously:

"Even if it's Akagi and Taihou, they can't replace Mikasa's swimsuit at all."

ps: I like this senior

Volume 49: Chapter : The Other Side of the Senior

Mikasa's heart was pounding and she suspected there was something wrong with her ears.

"Say...what are you talking about!"

Mikasa turned around and faced Durin:

"Commander, please stop joking. I... I have some self-awareness. Even if you are trying to comfort me, this is still too exaggerated!"

Mikasa knew that, unlike her juniors who dressed up fancy, her usual attire was very conservative, even a little rustic.

How could such a person as me possibly attract the commander's interest?

"Comfort... that's not the point at all."

Du Lin walked up to Mikasa and looked at the surging sea with her shoulder to shoulder:

"Mikasa, I was right. You and I are very similar in some ways."

"Eh?"

Mikasa was a little surprised. It was the first time she heard Durin say such a thing.
