Azur Lane Mobile Front.

How to process the Mind Cube and what data to input are the keys to building the planned ship.

In fact, no one knows why such ship data appears in the Mind Cube.

However, none of this has much to do with Rob anymore.

What he needs to do now is to complete the launching ceremony called Brest.

"So, all I have to do is press this button, right?"

Robb asked Clemenceau again, but his hand was already on the button.

"That's right, please, Commander, make your move!"

"Then let's begin!"

The next second, dazzling light filled the entire dock.

The iridescent light even illuminated the surrounding sea.

At that moment, no one noticed that Yukikaze seemed to have sensed something.

Her eyes turned deathly white, just like when she first "awakened."

Chapter 679: Brest, but the Little Girl Version

The Iris Theocracy, Clemenceau's office.

Since Richelieu and Robb's own offices were still under renovation, the group decided to make do here for the time being.

However, Rob himself has no plans to work here in the short term.

Therefore, he had no idea what his own office looked like or where it was.

However, none of this matters.

At this moment, Rob was sitting in the main seat, vigorously rubbing his temples with his fingers.

He has a headache.

Earlier, after he pressed the last button, the light instantly enveloped the surrounding sea area.

Seeing this, Rob thought he had actually shipped the goods.

However, what appeared after the light faded surprised everyone present.

"So, this is the planned ship that your Iris Group built entirely independently, called... Brest, right?"

As he spoke, Rob looked to the other side.

There, a little girl wearing a dress, with pigtails and blonde hair like a porcelain doll, was playing with Yukikaze.

That's right, this is the Brest, which Iris spent a lot of manpower and resources to build, and even had Robo specially come over to "bless" it. Theoretically, it should be a large cruiser.

Hearing someone call his name, Brest turned his head in confusion.

After glancing at Rob twice, she immediately turned back and went back to playing with Yukikaze.

"I guess...right..."

Even Clemenceau, who is usually so shrewd and confident, was unsure of what to do this time.

Because Brest's current state is too bizarre.

When the light faded, what appeared was a blonde little girl who was completely naked.

Where the ship's hull should have been, there was nothing there.

For a fleeting moment, Rob even thought of his own company.

After hurriedly dressing the newly appeared blonde girl, everyone waited for quite a while.

As a result, nothing else appeared.

In other words, this planned ship, named Brest, had no shipboard equipment.

Afterwards, everyone hurriedly took Brest to the research institute for examination.

Then, Rob learned what it meant to be both bad at the game and a player who loved to play.

The ship research institute on Iris's side couldn't detect anything wrong.

According to their instruments, the Brest was a perfectly normal ship with no problems whatsoever.

A ship without even any shipboard equipment was found to be completely normal after inspection by them?!

Are there any abnormal ships in the world?

Even if the Ember Fleet arrives, we should all say, "You guys really know how to play," okay?

Seeing that the researchers were unreliable, Rob had no choice but to bring Brest back first.

"Large cruiser..."

As Rob muttered to himself, he glanced at Brest, who was tumbling around in the snowstorm.

Robo had seen this type of ship before, which was famous for its historical grievances.

On the Sakura Empire's side, there is a large cruiser named Azuma.

However, the size of that person was worlds apart from that of the little girl in front of him.

Since Louis IX Robb, who was far away in the White Eagle, had not yet seen it, he thought that this flat body shape was probably not a characteristic of the Iris Project ships.

You should know that even if you include all the Iris faction's planned ships currently sitting in this office staring at each other, they wouldn't be enough for Azuma to fight alone on the bridge.

Aside from faction-specific characteristics, it's hard to explain this with anything else.

"Alright then, Clemenceau."

"I'll take this child with me first."

"Anyway, I still have to go to the Northern Union. As for the planned ships, they have experience there."

"If all else fails, I'll make a trip to White Eagle's place too."

Rob sighed as he watched Brest, who was happily interacting with Lord Yukikaze like a fool.

The ships without shipboard equipment are remarkably similar to the situation the company faced back then.

However, planned ships have too many shortcomings compared to regular ships.

To date, Rob has not even attempted to refit the planned ships.

"Actually, Commander, I suggest you go to Sangblood first."

Clemenceau was also quite troubled by the problems in Brest.

"In terms of experience with planned ships, I believe no faction in the world has more experience than Ironblood."

After thinking about Ironblood's planned fleet of ships that could encompass almost all conventional ship types, Rob nodded in deep agreement.

"That makes sense. Let's go to Ironblood first."

"Belfa, could you contact Bismarck for me and tell her I have to go to the Ironbloods for something?"

"Understood, Master."

...

Somewhere in Ironblood, in Bismarck's office.

“Bismarck, that commander just sent a communication.”

"That one?"

Bismarck put down her pen; on her desk sat a cup full of coffee.

But the coffee had long since gone cold.

After taking a small sip, Bismarck frowned slightly and put the cup down again.

"Yes, that's the one."

Gneisenau nodded, then handed the message he had just received from the head maid to Bismarck.

"Would you like to... visit our planned ship research facility?"

"So, are you going to say yes?"

"..."

Bismarck pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Reply to them and say that we will be prepared."

"I understand, I'll take care of it right away."

After saying that, Gneisenau turned and left the office.

"Planned ships...does that mean you've suddenly become interested in planned ships?"

As he watched the door close, Bismarck spoke softly.

...

After receiving a reply from Ironblood, Robo did not delay.

He immediately took Brest to Ironblood.

Lord Yukikaze also went along.

For some reason, Brest seems to have a particular affinity for Yukikaze.

Yukikaze also fully embodied the traditional virtues of kittens—respecting the elderly and caring for the young—and then proceeded to beat the one in the middle.

All I can say is that with Brest's reckless playing style, even if Rob himself were to do it, Yukikaze would at least scratch him a couple of times.

...

Just like last time, it was Bismarck who personally picked up Robb from the airport.

This time, however, her entourage consisted of Mainz.

Rob had seen this iron-blooded planned ship several times.

In Rob's memory, this was a rather serious ship.

Hmm, she's good material for a secretary.

"Commander, the research institute is ready."

Bismarck glanced at the blonde girl staring at him with curiosity, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

However, she did not show any other expression; after just one glance, she looked away.

"I understand. Let's not delay, let's go now!"

"Now?"

Bismarck was slightly taken aback.

Is there a problem?

"No, please, Commander!"

Chapter 680: Premature Baby

The group drove to the Ironblood Project Ship Research Institute.

Perhaps because their own faction had already completed all the necessary research on their planned ships, the researchers here weren't particularly busy.

However, when they saw Bismarck enter, everyone stood up straight without prior notice.

"Good girl, follow this older sister over for a check-up."

Rob patted Brest's little head.

Presumably to prevent Brest from developing any resistance, the Ironblood Research Institute specifically sent a young female researcher to receive him.

Brest glanced at the other person, nodded, and obediently followed.

"The inspection will take some time, Commander. Please have a seat."

They found a table and two chairs on the spot, and Bismarck and Robb sat facing each other.

"Was that young lady the one from Iris's independently developed project ship?"

Now that they were here, their conversation naturally revolved around Brest.
