Azur Lane Mobile Front.

The cat and dog duo in front of them were naturally the Fierce Bird Squad that Mikasa had specially called back.

Upon hearing Robo's voice, Xuefeng, who was carrying his luggage, immediately perked up his ears.

She looked up in surprise and saw Rob's face.

"Commander... cough! Did you come here specifically to pick up Lady Yukikaze? In that case, Lady Yukikaze will give you a compliment, nanoda!"

Upon seeing Rob, Yukikaze immediately dropped her excited expression and put on a stern face, looking arrogant and haughty.

Robona was all too familiar with Yukikaze's transformation.

This little cat has been arrogant for a long time, and that's precisely what makes her so adorable!

"Yes, yes, I came here specifically to welcome Lord Yukikaze!"

Although Rob spoke respectfully, he was anything but polite and started hitting the target right away.

"Hmm! We should show some respect to Lady Yukikaze, nanoda!"

Yukikaze, of course, also said no, but still squinted her eyes and enjoyed Rob's caresses.

"Shigure, Yuudachi, it's been a long time."

While petting the cat and listening to the occasional purring sounds from Xuefeng's mouth, Robo greeted the other two dogs.

"Hmm! Commander, the senior said there's good food here, is that true?"

Sure enough, Yuudachi's only concern is always about food.

"Ah~ I don't know about that, you'll have to ask Mrs. Fengxiang."

"Oh..."

Immediately, Yuudachi lost her earlier energy.

After greeting Yuudachi, Robo reached out his other hand and placed it on Shigure's head.

"Have you changed a lot since I last saw you?"

"Hmm...maybe so, Commander."

When I saw Shigure again, the spirited look on her face was gone, unlike when she had just changed her clothes.

During the Ryugu Palace incident, her reckless use of the Black Hole Cannon caused the machine to operate beyond its limits, ultimately leading to the recurrence of the Vanished Cavalry incident in this world.

This incident was a huge blow to her.

However, perhaps it is just that people must experience setbacks to grow.

After that incident, Shigure became much more mature and composed than before.

She no longer constantly argued with Yukikaze, but could accept his occasional hypocrisy with great tolerance.

Rob pressed hard on Shiyu's head and made way for her.

"Alright, stop standing here like idiots, come on in. Since you're here, take a good rest and relax."

"Oh right, Yukikaze, Anshan and the others are here too, let's go find them and play!"

"Hmph~ It should be them who came to find Lord Yukikaze, that's nanoda!"

The excitement on her face vanished in an instant. Although Xuefeng had unconsciously quickened her pace, she still couldn't bring herself to admit defeat.

"Yes, yes, go quickly."

Robb smiled as he watched the three little ones leave, and then... he immediately darted towards Richelieu's room.

"Oops~ I made a mistake, I forgot to bring the things."

"Mikasa arranged for the three of them to come without saying a word, so I wasn't prepared at all!"

"I hope the bishop's wife still has it with her..."

Robb muttered to himself as he pushed open the door to Richelieu's room.

The bishop had just changed her clothes and was now wearing a simple yukata, holding her beloved cat in her arms and petting it.

"Hmm? Commander? Is there something you need?"

Richelieu looked puzzled as Rob rushed in.

"Richelio, did you bring that?"

The bishop blinked, not understanding Rob's cryptic speech.

"It's...that cat toy and catnip!"

"Ah...that..."

Now Richelieu finally understood what madness Rob had gone mad with.

"Commander, is that Yukikaze-san here?"

Richelieu, both amused and exasperated, opened his bag and pulled out what Rob had mentioned.

As a seasoned cat lover, Richelieu naturally carried these things with him at all times.

"Yes, yes, can I borrow it for a moment?"

Before Rob could even say thank you, he dashed off again.

"Honestly, when will the Commander realize that none of this works on Miss Yukikaze..."

Richelieu shook his head, both amused and exasperated, as he stroked the cat in his arms.

Then, a few minutes later, the entire hot spring inn was filled with Yukikaze's exasperated voice.

"Damn it, Commander, you stop right there, Yukikaze-sama! This time, Yukikaze-sama is going to punish you properly, nanoda!"

"Oh, Yukikaze, why are you so shy? You were having so much fun just now!"

Then, Rob's slightly irritating voice came out.

"Hmm...it seems the Commander and Miss Yukikaze have a really good relationship..."

"You agree, right..."

Hearing the familiar noise, Richelieu smiled warmly.

Chapter 344: The Big Fox Soup

It took a lot of effort for Robo to calm Yukikaze down again.

Of course, he didn't come without paying a price.

For the first time, he realized that Yukikaze really did have claws.

After playing around for a while, Rob decided to go soak in a hot spring first.

Since we're here, soaking in the hot springs is a must-do activity.

Since he was the only male in the entire hotel, they simply didn't bother to separate the male and female pools.

Everyone can just go in and soak in whichever one looks good to them.

However, Rob was embarrassed as soon as he stepped into the hot spring.

Because the pool he chose was already occupied by someone.

What's even more embarrassing is that Rob didn't recognize the ship that was enjoying the hot springs for a while.

Sensing someone entering from behind, the ship, which was soaking in the hot spring, turned around and looked towards the entrance.

"Phew... Is that Luo-kun?"

Okay, now I know, this is Shinano.

"Hmm? You're Shinano?"

However, looking at Shinano shrouded in mist, Robo really didn't recognize her.

His strongest impression of Shinano was the large, fluffy tail behind her.

Now, neither Shinano's large tail nor the fox ears on her head can be seen.

Without the "landmark building," Rob immediately wouldn't recognize it.

"Um... well, since you're staying here, I'll go somewhere else."

The familiar yet unfamiliar ship before him made Rob, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, feel somewhat awkward.

Although the two are now nominally engaged, well... those who know, know.

If the people soaking in the pool were Enterprise and other Oathship ships, then Robo wouldn't need to be shy about anything; he could just jump in and soak without any hesitation.

However, this one, well, at least in Rob's opinion, isn't going to work.

"Hmph... I don't care about what Lord Luo says."

"So, let's go together..."

Shinano's face was radiant with health, probably from the comfortable soak.

Then, her sleepy eyes made her look even more dazed.

"Then...then I'll be sorry for the intrusion."

Although, Rob is now someone who can be considered to have a harem.

However, he was still somewhat shy in front of the ships with whom he had no real interaction.

Of course, in general, we would call his situation "being pretentious".

As if to avoid suspicion, Rob deliberately chose the farthest corner of Shinano to enter the hot spring pool.

As soon as he put his feet in, a warm current rushed up his legs and straight to the top of his head, making Rob shiver.

"Phew~ This feels pretty good."

However, before Rob could calm down and enjoy the hot spring, Shinano in another corner did something unexpected.

Shinano glanced at Robo before standing up from the hot spring.

She held a completely soaked bath towel in front of her, covering the private parts of her voluptuous body.

However, the completely soaked bath towel clung tightly to the curves of her body, and if it weren't for the rising steam from the hot spring, it probably wouldn't have been able to block anything at all.

Shinano walked step by step to Rob's side.

Seeing Shinano so close at hand, Rob quickly lowered his head.

With a few splashes of water, Shinano sat down next to Robo.

In the water, Shinano's skin, made exceptionally supple by the hot spring, pressed against Rob's arm, leaving Rob momentarily unsure where to put his hands.

"Phew... Lord Luo, there's really no need to be so discreet with me..."

A white bath towel floated past Rob's eyes.

This means that Shinano has also removed the last layer of cover that was merely a form of self-deception placed in front of his body.

"Because, whether it's me or Chongying, I already belong to you..."

"Ahem... Shinano, don't misunderstand, I'm not that kind of person. I would never force a ship to do anything."

Feeling that Shinano probably misunderstood him, Robo didn't look up, but immediately refuted her.

"There is no misunderstanding... I made the engagement with Luo Jun on my own terms."

As if to prove her point, Shinano leaned closer to Robo again, bringing the two even closer together.

He sighed inwardly, thinking, "She really is a vixen," and moved aside without making a sound.

"As for Shinano, I think the most important thing for two people to be together is their feelings."

"So, you don't really need to worry too much about that engagement or anything like that."

"Of course, my attitude toward Sakura Empire will not change because of this, you can rest assured."

"Is that so... I understand."

"However, I am actually quite satisfied with you..."

Shinano remained silent for a while, and did not approach Robo again, but simply soaked in the hot spring quietly.

Of course, she didn't mention that she had been quietly following Rob himself for a long time.

To be specific, it probably started on the night Robb defeated Akagi.
