Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Despite being a royal warship, the Unicorn prefers black tea.

However, Noshiro, who had not hosted many outsiders, was clearly unaware of this.

She prepared the same green tea as Shinano for the unicorn.

So the unicorn glanced at the teacup and then made no further move.

"Hoo~ Little Unicorn Sister, this must be the first time I've seen you..."

Shinano's voice was still so ethereal. Looking at her eyes, which were sometimes half-closed, the unicorn felt that this big fox sister might fall asleep any second.

"Um..."

The unicorn made a simple sound as a response to Shinano's question, then fell silent again.

"You seem to have something you want to say to me."

Shinano may have some problems in combat due to its ship equipment.

However, in terms of insight, there are almost no ones in the entire Sakura Empire who are stronger than her.

The unicorn wasn't good at hiding her feelings, and her hesitant expression naturally didn't escape Shinano's notice.

"unicorn..."

Looking into Shinano's eyes, the unicorn hesitated, her lips trembling.

However, the thought of Robo, her brother, gave the unicorn renewed courage.

At the very least, Unicorn cannot lose to Shinano.

The unicorn, her gaze hardening, sat up slightly, her body, which appeared much more mature than her actual height, stretching out.

Although he still acts like a child in front of Shinano, at least he shouldn't be considered truly young anymore.

Even before the unicorn and Shinano were about to have a conversation, Noshiro had already tactfully retreated outside the room.

Like the two people in the room, she was also thinking about Rob.

Logically speaking, as a close attendant of Lord Shinano, she would also be required to serve Robo in the future.

However, having no prior acquaintance with Rob, she found it difficult to imagine what that scene would be like.

Thinking of this, Noshiro couldn't help but purse her thin lips, her face filled with unease and apprehension.

"Just who is that person...?"

Looking out the window at the bright moon in the night sky, Noshiro, just like her appearance, seemed like a girl with doubts about the future.

...

As a ship that had known Unicorn for a long time, Shinano showed enough patience and affection for this ship, which was nominally like her younger sister.

It's worth noting that Shinano always schedules more than fourteen hours of sleep during her leisure time.

And tonight, even though it's late at night, she's still whispering secrets to the unicorn.

Even at the very end, she held the unicorn in her arms, letting it experience firsthand what a magnificent bridge exceeding the Illustrious level truly meant.

It's unclear how long the two, one big and one small, talked, but the unicorn ended up spending the night in Shinano's room.

As the night passed, Noshiro was surprised to find that Lady Shinano treated this little purple-haired ship like an older sister, showing her such affection.

The next day, when Noshiro opened Shinano's room, she saw two ships, one large and one small, embracing each other and wrapped in Shinano's tail.

"Shinano-neechan, the unicorn has remembered what you said yesterday."

As they were about to say goodbye, the unicorn bowed politely to Shinano.

It seems that the current flagship of Sakura Empire is also very skilled at guiding people.

"Hmm... If you are willing to listen to what I have to say, then that is good."

"True happiness is something you always have to strive for yourself..."

"Yes, Unicorn got it!"

Nodding vigorously, the unicorn's steps were more resolute than ever before.

Perhaps in her heart, she finally made up her mind.

Chapter 290: noob DD

Under Rob's instructions, a joint military operation between the Eastern Empire and the newly formed Sakura Empire is being prepared in full swing.

Mikasa Daisenbei and Nagato racked their brains to find the right people to participate in this operation.

Rob's intentions were never hidden, which both excited and worried the two men.

The exciting thing is that as long as Robo takes a liking to it, the new ship equipment is basically a done deal.

Nagato and Mikasa had also seen the battle data of Yukikaze and the other two.

Leaving aside the slightly weaker Yukikaze, Shigure and Yuudachi's fighting power is now quite exaggerated.

There is a saying in the world that the number of people who possess new ship equipment will directly determine the strength of a faction.

As more and more people become familiar with Robb's impressive record, the number of people who agree with this viewpoint also increases.

After the initial excitement, the worry is that, at least for now, Yukikaze is becoming increasingly attached to Robo.

Robb's new ship equipment is now as famous as Robb's hoe-wielding skills.

This commander's recent masterpiece—turning Yorktown to the Eastern Empire's camp in just a few hours—has once again stirred up a wave in the world.

Leaving aside the Royal Navy and Eagle Union, who were clearly provoked by Rob, at least from Mikasa's sources, we know that Sardinia is quite wary of Rob.

"Ah, opportunities and risks go hand in hand."

Seeing Taihou's name on the list, Mikasa and Nagato felt even more troubled.

This newest armored aircraft carrier from Sakura Empire was given away way too quickly, wasn't it?

Before Rob could even raise his hoe, she delivered herself right to his doorstep.

This made matters worse for the already financially strapped Cherry Blossom Company.

"Senior, this time, I also wish to go on the expedition."

As a ship, Nagato always longed for the sea.

But now, the hustle and bustle of work has tied her hands and feet.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last left the port.

When Mikasa heard Nagato's words, she recalled the scene when she went to pick up this divine child, and she couldn't help but sigh.

“Then go, Nagato, I’ll take care of everything here.”

Mikasa affectionately patted Nagato's head and smiled as she added Nagato's name to the list.

This time, the Sakura Empire has come out in full force.

Looking at the names on the list, not only Nagato, but even Shinano was prominently featured.

Of course, Shinano's name was added by Shinano herself; even Mikasa wouldn't dare to make that decision on her own.

Compared to the large-scale operation on the Sakura Empire's side, the situation on the Eastern Empire's side was much calmer.

Everyone had just returned from the NA seas and wasn't very interested in setting off again.

Even the companies that have always been by Rob's side have, unusually, opted to forgo their spots in this expedition.

It wasn't that she wanted to slack off again; it's just that the situation in Yorktown was still far from optimistic.

The company couldn't bear to leave its sister behind, which is why it had no choice but to stay in Donghuang.

Therefore, this time, the lineup of Donghuang is the unchanging Zhenhai, as well as the Unicorn and Shuanghe sisters who are already in Sakura Empire, plus the Cleveland squad.

...

The time for operational preparations passed quickly.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Robo had a good rest and took the opportunity to travel around various parts of Sakura Empire.

Southern sea area of ​​the cherry blossoms.

Because the battleground is located near Australia, the two factions chose this location as their assembly point this time.

It's a rare treat that Rob is finally going to fight a relatively traditional battle in this world.

After all, Donghuang has never followed the usual path since he took over.

The mass-produced ships that constitute the majority of the numbers in each battle for other factions are almost non-existent in his faction.

However, none of these things matter to Shimakaze right now.

Today is the day of assembly, and Shimakaze set off from the port he was stationed at very early.

With her exceptional speed, she was confident that she could reach the assembly area very early.

However, if nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected did happen.

She... got lost.

Indeed, Shimakaze, as a member of the Sakura Empire, is one of the most advanced destroyers in the world, and has always been highly regarded by Mikasa and the others.

However, she's just a silly rabbit who can get lost even in her own backyard.

"Eh... Shimakaze clearly remembers it being this way..."

Driven by anxiety, Shimakaze stood on the sea, hopping and looking around at the surroundings.

As she moved, her two white rabbit ears on her head bounced up and down, making her look very cute.

"Tell me, where exactly did we go wrong?!"

Around Shimakaze, there were several pale blue shadows that looked exactly like her.

As a Sakura Empire ship, it naturally possesses some less-than-scientific abilities.

Shimakaze possesses this ability, which is similar to creating a clone.

These clones not only look exactly like Shimakaze, but they also have their own thoughts.

On ordinary days, when Shimakaze encountered difficulties, these clones often helped her.

However, a clone is a clone; they inevitably inherit all the flaws of the original.

Shimakaze herself is a somewhat foolish destroyer, so these clones are naturally no better.

The "rabbits" discussed it at length, but couldn't come to a conclusion.

With the assembly time fast approaching, Shimakaze simply put away his clones.

"Since we can't determine the direction, let's just rely on momentum!"

"This is the direction, Shimakaze, let's go!"

Despite being a fool, Shimakaze still possesses advantages that are unmatched by ordinary people in some aspects.

And this time, she was very lucky.

She finally chose the right path.

...

At the assembly point in the sea, Nagato was anxiously awaiting news.

Everyone had arrived, except for Shimakaze.

Mikasa, Nagato, and Shinano all had high hopes for this junior.

However, such a big mess on their first expedition made Nagato feel a little embarrassed.

Still no news?

"No, I've tried the communicator, but no one is answering."

Jiang Feng's usually indifferent face now showed some worry.

"Go and tell Lord Shinano that we will depart on time. If Shimakaze doesn't make it, just leave her here."

With the scheduled time drawing ever closer, Nagato finally made up his mind.

At the very least, Sakura Empire cannot embarrass itself in front of the Commander.

Shinano, who was standing quietly waiting on the sea, suddenly turned his head to the side.
