Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

"It seems I've arrived at the right time~ Well, sorry to bother you, Commander, please take a rest."

Frederick the Great walked into the room with brisk steps. She placed the basket in her hand on the table beside the sofa and glanced around the office imperceptibly.

"Oh, Commander, are you the only one here? If I remember correctly, Hu Teng should be on duty today."

"Well, she just finished her work and went outside to get some fresh air."

Du Lin came to the table and was about to reach for the sandwich in the basket.

"No~"

Frederick the Great gently pressed his hand:

"Commander, you were still using the pen and ink, weren't you? No, you must wash your hands thoroughly before eating, otherwise you will get an upset stomach."

Du Lin was speechless and hurried to the small room next door to wash his hands.

Only Frederick the Great would care so much about washing hands before eating.

After washing his hands, Du Lin returned to the office and ate the sandwich as he wished.

"Yeah, delicious!"

Frederick the Great's cooking skills were very good, but he was far from unrivaled in the port area. In terms of cooking skills alone, Yixian and Shuanghai were clearly better than Frederick the Great.

However, the food prepared by Frederick the Great himself has a warm feeling that no one else can replicate.

Although it was just a simple sandwich, Du Lin felt at ease while eating it.

Du Lin once asked Frederick curiously whether she used any special spices or had any special techniques.

However, Frederick the Great just smiled and replied, "I just poured all my love for the commander into the production process."

Although this statement is a bit embarrassing, it is very much in the style of Frederick the Great.

Seeing Durin wolfing down his food, Frederick the Great felt a little distressed:

"From the looks of you, you didn't have a good breakfast, did you? No, you must eat on time."

Frederick the Great was right. After the examination in the morning, Durin couldn't wait to leave the infirmary. He went straight back to the office without going to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Well, I've got it straight."

Du Lin responded vaguely while eating heartily.

Soon the sandwiches brought by Frederick the Great were eaten up by Dühring.

"Ah, I'm full..."

Du Lin leaned back on the sofa, patting his full stomach in satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, Frederick, did you make too many sandwiches?"

Dooling noted that the sandwiches were clearly larger portions than would be sufficient for one person.

"I see. You prepared Hu Teng's portion as well, right?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry that you found out, kid~"

Frederick the Great did not hide it, but admitted it straightforwardly:

"But it seems that she doesn't have this luck. Haha~ It's good that you, the child, eat all of them. Hu Teng won't like these rough foods I make."

"Uh......"

Du Lin, who had just had a full meal, suddenly felt the pressure again.

"I think Hu Teng will accept your kindness silently."

"Really?" Frederick the Great filled a glass of water for Dühring:

"Commander, you are so gentle, but will Hu Teng really be like you think?"

This time, Du Lin felt a stomachache.

The grudge between Frederick the Great and Hutten is really complicated.

Can I really ease the relationship between them?

Du Lin had no confidence, but he still felt it necessary to give it a try.

"Speaking of which, Frederick, why did you give up your qualification as a secretary ship?" Du Lin thought of this question:

"Sorry, I asked Z23, and it seems that you were... among the five selected at the beginning."

"Oh~" Frederick the Great's face was filled with a happy smile:

"Commander, do you want me to be your secretary ship? Haha, you're so cute when you act like a spoiled child~"

As he spoke, Frederick the Great could not help himself and hugged Durin in his arms, stroking his head with his hand.

"No, I'm not being coquettish!"

Du Lin struggled to break free and shook his head to deny it.

"Just... just a little curious. After all, if you were by my side, Frederick, I would... I would also be very happy."

Du Lin was a little embarrassed. Wouldn't this be like acting like a spoiled child? Instead, it confirmed what Frederick the Great had just said.

Frederick the Great looked at Durin, then chuckled and said:

"...I see."

She stood up and walked to the table, picked up a document and glanced at it:

"Commander, do you think these things are...difficult?"

"Eh?" Du Lin didn't know why the topic turned to this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head honestly:

"No... not at all. Ding'an has already dealt with the most difficult plans, and the reports submitted these days only need simple confirmation."

"That's right, Miss Ding'an and the others are very capable. They solved the most troublesome problem."

Frederick the Great agreed:

"There are two main reasons why everyone is here to serve as a secretary ship. The first is of course to help the commander solve problems, and the second is... to get along with the commander..."

"Just...just for this?"

It was the first time that Du Lin understood the private thoughts of the ship girls.

I didn't expect the reason to be so simple.

"Haha, that's why." Frederick the Great tapped Durin's forehead with his finger:

"You have no idea how attractive you are. The Commander is loved by everyone."

Du Lin couldn't help but shiver.

Although Frederick the Great's tone was relaxed, Durin still heard a hint of horror in it.

Volume 104: Chapter : The Completely Different Side

Frederick the Great saw Dühring's uneasiness and smiled to comfort him:

"Haha, it seems you are scared. Don't worry, I will protect the child..."

Frederick the Great said this and took Durin into his arms again, holding him close and gently stroking his head.

Just like a long drought finally ending with a downpour, Du Lin's uneasiness instantly disappeared.

It was just a simple hug and touch, but Du Lin felt extremely relieved.

"Well, this question is not important..." Frederick the Great returned to the topic:

"As I said, everyone wants to become a secretary ship in order to assist the commander or to improve their relationship with the commander. But I... don't need either."

Dühring gradually understood what Frederick the Great meant.

Although the current affairs of the port area are cumbersome, they are not difficult to handle.

Unlike military affairs that involve life and death, these current affairs can be described as easy and casual. The more mature-minded ship girls in the port area can handle most of them after proper training.

From this perspective, there is no reason for Frederick the Great to become a secretary ship.

She was happy to handle difficult matters for Du Lin, but it was difficult for her to be interested in the current affairs of the port area.

As for improving the relationship with Durin...what a joke. The person who has the deepest relationship with Durin in the port area is probably Frederick the Great.

Durin's trust and reliance on Frederick the Great are unmatched by any other ship girl.

It can be said that Frederick the Great is the only ship girl in front of whom Durin is willing to expose her vulnerability.

While other ship girls were still racking their brains to get close to Durin, Frederick the Great was leisurely waiting for Durin to come to him.

The gap between them is obvious.

Since he had the advantage in both aspects, it was only natural that Frederick the Great voluntarily withdrew from the candidate list for secretary ship.

"Wait, something's still wrong..."

Recalling what Z23 had said, Dühring discovered the flaw hidden in Frederick the Great's words.

"You should have known these two points long ago, Frederick. Why didn't you refuse the nomination at the beginning, but withdraw on the last day?"

At this point, Durin raised his head from his arms and looked at Frederick the Great seriously:

"I hope you can tell me why."

Frederick the Great looked at Dühring with great admiration:

"Haha~ You really noticed this, you are worthy of being my child... It seems that the peaceful life has not diminished your keenness~"

Frederick the Great released Dühring:

"...Just treat it as a small test. Commander, take a guess."

Dühring was helpless. Sometimes Frederick the Great really had some bad intentions.

"Hmm... Could it be related to Hutten?"

"That's right, congratulations, you got the answer right~ Come, please accept my reward..."

Frederick the Great came closer and gently touched Durin's forehead with his moist red lips.

Du Lin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This reward was really exciting.

However, the kiss was as fleeting as a dragonfly touching the water, and Frederick the Great quickly sat back without any further plans.

This made Du Lin feel a little disappointed, and he was somewhat awakened by this feeling.

What's wrong with you?

Whenever I was with Frederick the Great, I couldn't help but let my physical and mental instincts run wild.

But Dühring didn't have time to think about it, because Frederick the Great began to explain the reason:

"As you said, this has something to do with Hu Teng. Hu Teng...has always insisted on protecting you in her own way."

"protect me?"

Du Lin was extremely surprised.

Frederick the Great also had a strange expression:

"In Huten's opinion, I was the one who bound the commander. 'Spider's web'... She always used this to describe my love for you, my child... Don't you think it's too much? Obviously, her own ship's outfit looks like a spider."

Frederick the Great showed a trace of grievance. At this moment, the "injustice" that Frederick had suffered for a long time broke out completely, and she couldn't help but pour out her grievances to Durin.

"Love for children is poison and bondage? I cannot accept this statement at all!"

"She is the Spider Woman, right? And she is the most sinister one. She obviously has improper desires for your child, but she regards herself as the guardian in secret."

"Haha, Hu Teng... wants to make you and me feel distant, so that she can take advantage of the situation. Child, please tell me without reservation..."

Frederick the Great took Dühring's cheeks in his hands:

"...did she ever say anything bad about me to you during the half day she worked as a secretary?"

"Ah, this..."
