Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Understood. And Ms. Noshiro has been waiting at the door for quite some time now~"

"Ahem, let her in."

...

The message Noshiro brought was naturally Mikasa's response after receiving the reply.

"So, they arrived this afternoon?"

"Yes! That's what Mikasa-senpai replied."

Noshiro nodded, somewhat hesitant to look at Rob's face.

"Okay, I understand. I'll handle it."

...

However, when Rob looked at the row of destroyers in front of him in the afternoon, he finally realized what he had forgotten.

Looking at the group of ships that were no more than a pound tall, Rob felt that Mikasa might have misunderstood something.

"Oh my god, Master, is he really such a small child?"

Looking at the scene before him, which resembled a kindergarten field trip, even Belfast couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

Chapter 376: However, the destroyers, they were fantastic.

"Um... Mikasa Daisenbei sent us over."

"Excuse me, are you the Commander?"

A person with specially made yellow hair on their head, wearing clothes that are probably in the style of some kind of primary school or kindergarten uniform.

The little ship, still wearing bubble socks, mustered up her courage and approached Robo, encouraged by her sisters behind her.

"I..."

However, as soon as Robo opened his mouth, the ship let out a cry of surprise and darted back.

Then he slipped into the crowd and hid himself, only peeking out with his little head to secretly watch Rob.

"Pfft..."

This scene made Rob, who had come to Belfast with him, burst out laughing.

This put Rob in a very awkward position.

"Belfa, am I scary?"

"Hmm~ Master is not scary at all, it's just that these children are a little shy."

Calming his expression, Belfast answered Rob's question with utmost respect.

However, judging from the way she always seemed to be about to burst into laughter, the head maid's words had a hidden meaning.

"Ah~ never mind, you go and entertain them for me, I'm going to call Mikasa."

"Seriously, what's going on? At least find someone to lead the team!"

"Yes, my master!"

Now that Belfast had taken on the job, Rob naturally prepared to leave as soon as possible.

However, when he turned around and took another look, the head maid was already locked in combat with the group of destroyers.

The ships were calling each other "sister" so affectionately.

Is this reasonable?

The stark contrast between the two extreme treatments aroused a slight suspicion in Luo.

What kind of image does Mikasa present of herself?

At that moment, a senior figure far away in Sakura Empire suddenly sneezed adorably.

...

The call with Mikasa was connected very quickly.

Upon seeing the smiling face appear in the window, Rob couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey Mikasa, can you explain why all these ships are destroyers?"

"When I first saw them, if it weren't for their very distinctive features, I would have thought that the elementary schools and kindergartens near my port area were on a spring outing, you know?"

Surprisingly, Mikasa also looked surprised when Rob asked her question.

"Huh? Isn't that right? I thought Commander, you just liked this..."

Mikasa realized she had misspoke before she could finish her sentence and quickly covered her mouth.

However, as for what I just said, as long as Rob isn't deaf or blind, he'll definitely be able to see it.

Instantly, Rob's face darkened.

"Mikasa, translate this for me, what do you mean by 'I like this'?"

"Um... Commander, I have a lot of things to do. How about we talk about it another time?"

"Anyway, as long as your people have arrived, that's fine~ Hahaha~"

Inside the window, Mikasa clearly sensed something was wrong and prepared to make her escape.

However, given that Rob is now the only commander of Sakura Empire and the fiancé of the faction's flagship, his status is too high for her to bear.

"Translate it, translate it! What the hell is that called? I fucking love it!"

Robb certainly wouldn't let Mikasa go.

After all, he finally found out why his reputation had been damaged.

He said that the last time, the Kashino Gyuu was also trembling with fear when it saw him, and now this batch of destroyers is the same.

So you're the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes, aren't you?

"that..."

In the window view, Mikasa scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly.

"Look at this... whether it's Yukikaze or Shimakaze, weren't they both people you personally requested to go there, Commander?"

"On the Sakura Empire side, all those who have been equipped with the new ship equipment are also children of destroyers."

So...I...

Hearing this, Rob felt like he was about to vomit blood.

It's true that Yukikaze was the one who specifically requested it.

However, he did this because he valued Yukikaze's kind nature.

As for Shimakaze, he was chosen by Sephiroth himself, what could he do about it?

Just like the Unicorn Gundam back then, it only recognizes Unicorns, what can you do to it?

"Um... Commander, look..."

Looking at Robo through the window, his face dark and silent, Mikasa felt a little uneasy.

"Alright, you can go ahead and do your thing!"

After staring at Mikasa for a long time, Robo finally decided that he couldn't stoop to the level of an old woman.

Anyway, the rumors have already spread, and it will probably be quite difficult to salvage the situation now.

It's like how, to this day, the story of him and Richelieu has been compiled into its thirteenth version in various gossip magazines—it's unstoppable.

As for why Rob knew it was already the thirteenth version?

A woman who wished to remain anonymous stated that she had not sent the magazines to Rob through various channels on time.

Mikasa, feeling like she'd been granted a pardon, immediately turned off her communicator and disappeared.

As for Rob, he sighed and decided to go and check on the group of "young girl destroyers" again.

...

When Robb saw the group of destroyers again, they were already holding small pieces of dessert and obediently surrounding Belfast like good little girls.

Seeing this, Rob couldn't help but think, could this be a skill he learned from Queen Elizabeth?

After all, that little queen, well, those who know, know.

Belfast?

From a distance, Rob shouted loudly to Belfast, who was weaving through the group of children.

Hearing Rob's call, Belfast's face lit up with a bright smile.

She clapped her hands and said loudly, "Alright, the Commander is here, go say hello to him!"

As if receiving a command, the group of young destroyers immediately turned around, facing Robo's direction, and shouted in unison, "Commander!"

Instantly, Rob's somewhat agitated emotions were calmed down.

Hearing the adorable, childlike calls, Rob thought that this must be happiness.

(You little brat!)

"Alright, alright, Belfast, bring them along."

Rob's face beamed with a happy and content smile as he waved to them.

Led by Belfast, the destroyers lined up in an orderly fashion, following behind Robo, to collect their new mobile suits.

Thus, a unique and rare sight appeared in the port area of ​​Donghuang.

Behind the port commander, a white-haired maid led a string of young female ships, creaking and groaning as they moved forward.

Chapter 377: What a coincidence! Your sister was kidnapped too?

It's unclear what Belfast actually told these young destroyers.

Anyway, these destroyers are no longer afraid of Robo.

Is this the charm of a perfect head maid?

It's horrible!

Now, some of these destroyers no longer even react excessively to Rob's head-patting gesture.

Rob also had a good time petting all sorts of cats and dogs.

Overall, it wasn't as fun as playing with Yukikaze.

After a considerable amount of time, Robb finally managed to replace all of these destroyers with the mass-produced Mk-II Fierce Bird.

Mass-produced mechs, while not particularly powerful in combat, do have their advantages.

First of all, it's cheap.

Furthermore, anyone can operate the machine, and there will absolutely be no situation where the machine is unhappy and prevents you from logging in.

Therefore, the work of refitting these young but obedient destroyers went quite smoothly.

Looking at the row of tiny ships clad in ivory-colored mechs in front of him, Rob felt, for some reason, that the scene was somewhat comical.

Because these ships are all so short, when they are dressed in mecha, they give off a very cute and adorable appearance.

Well, to put it in a high-EQ way, it's a pretty faithful recreation of the original game's visuals.

Then, Rob realized that the mass-produced Ferocious Bird MK-II seemed to also have a meteor hammer weapon.

The image instantly flashed in Luo's mind, and his expression changed.

"Well... how about we tell them not to use this?"

Because the visuals were so impactful, and Rob was also quite skeptical about how much lethality such an outdated weapon could actually have.

Therefore, Rob felt that it was better not to let these young ships use this thing.

"Alright, everyone pay attention!"

After the last ship completed its refit, Rob clapped his hands, mimicking Belfast's earlier gesture, in an attempt to attract the ships' attention.

"You'll stay in the port area for the next few days."

"At that time, I will arrange a group activity to help you adapt to your new machines."
