Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Otherwise, if he goes back to the class again, he might just trigger his PTSD again.

This time, with Shinano's help, Rob quickly got in touch with the company.

Unlike before, this time, both he and the company have a great deal of autonomy.

The only problem is that neither the Hornets nor Yorktown have shown any signs of "waking up".

Chapter 274: Rob's Countermeasure

After saying goodbye to Yorktown, the company made an excuse to leave first.

Then, she made a few more turns and returned to Rob's place.

Rob had already returned to his dormitory and was waiting for the company to arrive.

"commander!"

"Yes, please sit down!"

Unlike before, this time, Rob is accompanied by a large fox.

It was Shinano's presence that made Robb realize that something might have happened here.

After all, in the previous "shows", Rob needed to be asleep to see Shinano, but now, he doesn't need to at all.

"Although I don't know the specifics, this place is really eerie..."

Rob threw a bottle of soda to the company, and then opened one for himself.

"They're clearly beings of consciousness, yet they can live like normal people. Have the Sirens gotten this sophisticated by now?"

"I believe this may no longer be the Sirens' testing ground..."

Because of his unique nature, Shinano was much more sensitive to these stream-of-consciousness ideas than Robo and Enterprise.

"That means the situation is even worse."

After taking a big gulp of soda, Rob couldn't help but burp.

"If even the Sirens' experiments have been hacked and tampered with, then how terrifying must the enemy we're facing this time be?"

As Rob said, this time, he was facing his most formidable enemy.

Although he, in his conscious form, could still access the system, according to Rob's tests, the items he redeemed would not appear here.

That means his body is still somewhere else.

As for the enterprise, she is currently unable to deploy her own machinery.

According to her description, it was as if the machine had never existed.

"Shinano, are you still able to contact that person outside?"

"I...have tried..."

However... no response was received.

"Is that so..."

Next, the group exchanged information about their recent situation and learned from the company that the three of them were about to embark on a new battlefield.

This time, the battlefield is Santa Cruz.

"Santa Cruz..."

Because of her current status, the company couldn't stay at Rob's place for too long. After finishing the bottle of soda, she left.

Sitting alone at his desk, Rob held a pen in his hand and drew a diagram of the current relationships on a piece of paper.

During the Battle of AF, Yorktown did not sink as historical records indicate, but the destroyer HMS Harman sank before her eyes just as history had described.

And Santa Cruz, if Rob is not mistaken, should be the finish line for Bumblebee.

By connecting all the known conditions, Rob finally found the protagonist of this performance.

Yorktown...

"But what exactly is the person behind this all scheming...?"

Robb mentally rehearsed the journey from Yorktown to Santa Cruz, trying to see what he could gain from the perspective of someone behind the scenes.

"A different kind of history repeating itself? That sounds a lot like the work of the Sirens."

"But then I remembered someone else..."

Recalling his previous meeting with Yorktown, Rob thought of someone whose sadness, though tried to be hidden, could not be concealed in the other's eyes.

This attempt to destroy the ship's morale is less like that of a siren and more like the actions of a good guy like Richard.

"Want to be like Kronstadt...?"

With this in mind, Rob's thoughts gradually became clear.

"If it's her, then her goal is very clear: to induce meta-ification!"

Because this crazy ship never concealed its intentions, after the Northern Union's rescue operation, both the Northern Union and Robb knew about the purpose of the extremely strange ship, Good Man Richard.

With this in mind, Rob figured out his plan to counter good guy Richard.

"Hmm~ But it seems we'll have to discuss this with the company first..."

...

The next day, Rob, accompanied by the company, went to visit Yorktown.

Yorktown was quite surprised when a newly appointed commander, whom he had only met once, suddenly came to visit him.

However, out of consideration for the company, she still received Rob.

However, Robb's next move completely baffled York City.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Rob pulled out a large stack of books on naval tactics and began asking Yorktown for advice, pointing to the markings on them.

"Well... Commander Luo, you should ask your teacher these questions, not me..."

"Huh? Is that not allowed?"

At this moment, Robb acted like a clumsy young boy, and his deliberate performance made York City very concerned.

"Hmm...it's not impossible, but I can only answer three of your questions..."

Seeing Rob's bewildered expression and his sister's subtle actions, Yorktown finally gave in.

"Thank you!"

Upon receiving the reply, Robb immediately bowed to Yorktown.

...

In the days that followed, with some time remaining before the campaign, Robb visited Yorktown every day.

Over time, the two became acquainted.

The topics they discussed ranged from naval tactics to all sorts of other topics.

However, no matter how hard Robb tried, the sadness in Yorktown's eyes could not be dispelled.

"Looks like I need to work even harder..."

After a day of activities, Rob returned to his dormitory and casually tossed the books he was holding aside.

"However, at least the route wasn't wrong. At least Yorktown isn't locking itself in its room like before."

With the departure date for Yorktown and their team drawing ever closer, Robb intensified his "offensive."

Now, he spends almost all his time with them in Yorktown.

Bumblebee showed great interest in Rob's behavior.

This is exactly the same point as the one Rob knew.

"Oh dear, Luo, you're here again!"

Ever since he learned that Rob had been cooking for Yorktown every day, Bumblebee has been making sure to come to Yorktown's place at the exact time of day to freeload a meal.

Bumblebee, who opened the door for Rob, patted Rob's shoulder affectionately. To Rob, this scene made it seem as if Bumblebee had already "awakened."

"Luo, come on, put in some effort! When are you going to get Yorktown out with her? Staying home all the time isn't working!"

After closing the door, Bumblebee cleverly looked around to make sure Yorktown wasn't paying attention. She quickly pulled Rob to the corner and started egging him on.

"Um... I'll try my best, I'll try my best."

Even Rob's thick skin couldn't withstand it at this moment.

After all, what he's doing now is trying to develop a relationship with his Oathship's sister right in front of his own Oathship, which is... really weird!

Chapter 275: Initial Success?

All I can say is that Bumblebee truly lives up to her name; no matter where she is, her behavior remains consistent.

After persuading Rob, she immediately went to work on her older sister.

Looking at her enthusiastic expression, it's hard to say whether she was trying to help her sister stop wallowing in sadness or simply looking for fun.

At the dinner table, the bumblebee is always the most active one.

This time, with Rob's occasional funny antics, Yorktown finally smiled thanks to the efforts of the two.

"Eh..."

Yorktown's smiling face stunned the other three.

"Huh? Is there something on my face?"

Yorktown noticed that everyone was staring at him and asked a question.

"Sister, you..."

The company hesitated to speak.

"By the way, let's go out and have fun together tomorrow!"

Seeing that their long-term efforts had paid off, Bumblebee and Robo exchanged a glance and decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Yorktown, you haven't been out for ages, you can't refuse!"

Yorktown, unable to resist the Hornets' demands, finally agreed to let him go out tomorrow.

...

"So, why did it turn out like this?!"

Standing side by side with Yorktown on the street, Rob couldn't help but let out a roar, drawing the attention of everyone around him.

The reason is simple: the company and Bumblebee clearly came out together.

As a result, after turning two corners, he made an excuse and slipped away.

Now, of the four-man team, only Robb and Yorktown remain.

"Hehe... Luo, don't be too loud..."

Robb's overly enthusiastic performance looked somewhat comical, which drew a few chuckles from Yorktown.

How could she not know what her younger sister and the new commander were thinking?

However, some things are not so easy to let go of.

Scratching the back of his head, Rob grinned sheepishly.

Just now, Robb spotted Bumblebee and Enterprise at the other end of the crowd.

Bumblebee winked at Rob, and Rob immediately understood what she meant.

"Walk with me, Luo."

Yorktown extended an invitation to Robb, which surprised him greatly.

"With pleasure, madam."

The two walked through the crowd and headed into the distance.

"Hiss~ Sister Enterprise, do you think it'll work out?"

The bumblebee, who had been secretly observing the company with it, nudged the company with its elbow.

Enterprise looked at Bumblebee with a complicated expression, not knowing how to answer her.
