Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Rob stopped the seemingly flustered Shimakaze, wondering which deity could have frightened her so much.

You should know that Shimakaze is a combination of two major elements: super strong fighting ability and not very bright thinking.

If a normal person tries to flirt with her, she'll easily slap them away.

Even if it was unintentional.

"Eh... Ms. Shimakaze... I just wanted to see your ears..."

Soon, the culprit was revealed.

A dashing figure in red and black appeared at the office door.

If you ignore the expression on her face, this ship looks like someone who could make you so handsome you'd lose your mind.

"Your Excellency Royal Ark, you are quite dignified."

The head maid turned around and looked at Royal Ark Meta with an unfriendly expression.

This Ember ship, serving as the liaison officer between the Ember Fleet and the port, spends most of its time stationed in Robo's port.

As the saying goes, time reveals all.

Over time, her tastes, which were exactly the same as those of the royal Ark (as described by Belfast), became apparent.

She seemed to have an indescribable affection for destroyers.

"Oh... Head Maid... um... I just remembered I have some things to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye!"

However, just like the royal one, she was very much a head maid.

When she saw Belfast's expression, which brought back memories of the past, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face.

Then, she immediately turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.

"Alright, Shimakaze, the person has left."

Rob patted Shimakaze on the head, indicating that she didn't need to hide anymore.

"Um... Commander..."

After peeking around for a while, the little rabbit realized that Royal Ark Meta was indeed nowhere to be seen, and then it crawled out from behind Robo.

"Alright, alright, the person is already gone."

"Good boy, go play with the white dragon."

"Hmm... I'll head over then!"

Although he didn't understand why they were far apart, Shimakaze and Haku did have a good relationship.

Could this be a special bond between 17900 and 25500?

...

After finishing his work, Rob decided to go out into the yard for some fresh air.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw someone who, theoretically, shouldn't be here—Jean Barth.

"Huh? I said, why are you still here?!"

Robb seemed quite surprised by Jean Bart's appearance.

You should know that Richelieu and Clemenceau were extremely busy with Iris.

Is it appropriate for Jean Bart, the top figure in the Iris Theocracy's military, to be slacking off in the Eastern Port Area?

"Huh? What are you saying? Why can't I be here?"

Jean Bart looked at Rob with a completely bewildered expression.

"No, your sister and younger sister are both incredibly busy, and you're just loitering around here?"

"What does what happens over there have to do with me?"

Jean Bart looked at Robb with an indifferent expression.

"Anyway, those two are used to worrying, so it's good to let them keep busy."

"By the way, since we're all free anyway, come over and have a couple of drinks with me."

"Alright, you can do whatever you want with it."

"Anyway, when Richelieu and Clemenceau come to arrest you, don't expect me to take the bullet for you."

"嘁~"

Seeing that Rob had no intention of having a drink with him, Barr turned and left.

...

After seeing Jean Bart off, Robb strolled around the yard for a while.

Then he saw two more ships—the Baltimore, and... the Bremerton.

"Hmm? Wait a minute, who's that next to Baltimore...?"

Because he had been quite busy lately, Rob didn't immediately recognize the woman with the sexy style standing next to Baltimore.

"Hi, Commander!"

When Baltimore saw Rob, he quickly ran over to greet him.

"Oh no, that's not right, sister! You should do it this way!"

Bramerton, who hadn't yet been recognized by Rob, looked at his older sister with a sly grin.

Then, she gave him a hard push from behind.

Unexpectedly, Baltimore suddenly threw himself into Rob's arms.

Almost as a reflex, Rob hugged Baltimore without even thinking.

(Oh no, I've gotten too used to cuddling that silly one...)

(Oh no! What should we do now?)

Rob and Baltimore locked eyes, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Ah, that's more like it!"

"When you're facing someone you miss, you should just rush over and give them a big hug."

Bremerton seemed quite pleased with his "masterpiece".

She walked over with a smile.

"Hehe, how is it? My sister is very comfortable to hold, isn't she?"

"She's really trained hard!"

Upon hearing Bremerton's words, Baltimore jumped up like a gust of wind.

"Don't...don't talk nonsense, Bremerton!"

Only then did Rob realize that this person was Bremerton, whom he had rescued from the White Eagles.

"Um... Bremerton, why are you still here?"

Because the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Rob could only try to find a topic to draw attention away from the situation.

"Eh? Commander, you're really likely to hurt a girl's feelings by saying that~"

What do you mean by 'Why are you still here?'

"..."

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Rob immediately shut up.

Because he discovered that the heavy cruiser in front of him was actually quite talkative.

"Fine, I'll forgive the Commander this time."

"However, Commander, in return, you shouldn't have any problem letting me join this port, right?"

"???"

Chapter 666: The Outrageous Incident in the Port Area: Shinano Has Changed Its Fur

At this moment, Rob fully understood what it meant to "fall down before I even exerted any effort."

These days, are there still people who rush to lie down and be sent to higher positions?

"Ahem~ Then I would certainly welcome you."

"But could you give me a reason, Miss Bremerton?"

"Oh dear, of course it's because my older sister is so useless, so as her younger sister, I have no choice but to come and help her out."

As he spoke, Bremerton's crimson eyes kept darting back and forth between Rob and his sister.

This made Baltimore, who was already blushing, even more embarrassed.

At this point, her face was almost pressed against her own bridge.

Rob glanced at Baltimore curiously, thinking that this guy was a bit too easily embarrassed.

However, right now, dealing with the Bremerton issue is more important.

"Although I don't quite understand, since that's the case, I welcome you to the team, Miss Bremerton."

Rob extended his hand and shook hands with Bremerton as a gesture of welcome.

...

Mr. Luo, who casually strolled around his own yard and ended up getting a free game in the port area, now has a new job to do.

"Um... Commander, could you please ask Lord Shinano to come back?"

"The grand festival that will be held in a while is really beyond my ability to preside over."

In the communicator window, Longfeng had visibly lost a lot of weight.

Since Shinano moved to this port area, most of the work that Shinano should have done in Sakura Empire has been taken over by Ryuhou.

At this point, Longfeng probably couldn't hold on any longer, so they remembered to find Luo Bo.

"This... dragon and phoenix... I... I'll try my best..."

Thinking of the big fox in his own port area, Rob felt a headache coming on.

It would be quite difficult to pull her up.

"Thank you so much, Commander!"

"Oh, what a good child..."

Seeing the expressions on Longfeng's face, as if they had grasped a lifeline, Luo Bo suddenly felt full of energy.

...

"Noshiro? Shinano is in there, right?"

Arriving at the door of Shinano's room, Noshiro was there as always, standing guard.

However, this time, upon seeing Rob's appearance, the light cruiser, who usually also served as Rob's secretary, seemed to show a hint of panic on her face.

"...Commander, Lady Shinano...is not available to see you for the time being..."

"Not convenient? What nonsense, you just fell asleep again?"

"Excuse me, I'm going to wake her up. They've already complained to me about it from the Sakura Empire."

"They said there's going to be a big festival or something in a while, and if Shinano doesn't go and preside over it, Ryuhou won't stand for it."

"Eh..."

Noshiro stared at Rob in disbelief. She thought to herself, "It seems... this day really has arrived?"

"Then... please go in yourself, Commander!"

Noshiro steeled herself, opened the door for Rob, and then stood aside.

"Ok?"

Rob looked at Noshiro with some confusion. Usually, she would go in with him.

However, Rob didn't think too much about it. After nodding to Noshiro, he turned and went into Shinano's room.
