Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Perhaps I really should give them both a chance.

"You're right, Shoukaku."

"Preconceived notions can often lead to bad outcomes."

"Hehe~ It's good that the Commander thinks that way."

Shoukaku released his arms from around Robo and stood up straight.

"Now that the matters concerning the two seniors have been resolved, Commander, shall we discuss our own issues?"

"Hmm? What's the problem?"

Luo Bo looked puzzled. He wondered if he had done anything wrong to Shoukaku and Zuikaku.

"Ugh~ really, Commander~"

Shoukaku moved to Robo's side, then took a step and sat in Robo's lap.

Her face was very close to Rob's, and a faint fragrance wafted over them.

"Did you know? Commander, Zuikaku and I actually leave the door open for you every night~"

"But you seem to have absolutely no ideas?"

"You should know, it's not just Senior Amagi who's anxious~"

Seeing that Shoukaku's expression was somewhat dangerous, Rob tried to seek help from the head maid.

However, the head maid had already left the office at some point.

Only Robo and Shoukaku remained in the large office.

...

The next day, led by Xiafei, the ships from the Iris Kingdom successfully arrived at the port.

"Commander, it's been a long time."

Rob glanced around and saw that there were many familiar faces among them.

Ships like Reckless, Vauxhall, and others that had a brief encounter with Robo were among them.

However, when Rob looked over, one white-haired ship caught his attention.

Despite her small stature, Rob saw in her the same qualities of a lazy bum as his own company.

After all, she was so lazy that she didn't even bother to pretend.

"Eek~ Vicious, Commander, look over here!"

Beside the white ship, Triumph was trying to remind the other side.

"Ah~ whatever, let's just watch it."

"Can we finish this quickly? Standing here is so tiring!"

As he spoke, the wicked man yawned.

The other person's appearance truly opened Rob's eyes.

"Ahem~ In that case, let's get straight to the point."

"Board the ship, we're heading out to sea!"

"...yes!"

Although somewhat puzzled, Xiafei nodded.

Thus, the group of Iris-shaped warships that had just landed boarded the Nie Gama and embarked on a new journey.

...

"Be sure to keep a close eye on how things develop later."

"If you discover anything unusual, don't hesitate, take action immediately."

On the way to Aga, Robb was explaining the upcoming precautions to Richelieu and the others.

Although they were very puzzled, the ships nodded to indicate that they knew.

"Enterprise, could you show me around later?"

After explaining things to Richelieu and the others, Robolas went to the company.

"Hmm~"

The businesswoman leaned against Rob and casually responded.

...

On the sea, the mecha-like Strike Freedom clasped its hands together and held them out horizontally in front of it.

In the palm of his hand were Robo, who was having a conversation with the system, and Shiranui, the new employee whom Robo had brought along.

"System, exchange coal for X-level item - the Golden Bull of Greed, the warship Pleades Tora."

[Resources have been deducted; warship exchange complete.]

As the system finished speaking, a golden glow exploded on the sea surface.

They are outlining the shape of a huge warship.

However, before the warships had fully appeared, the same golden light emanated from Shiranui, who was standing next to Robo.

"commander!"

The woman inside the driver's cab sensed something was wrong and called out to Rob.

"Wait a minute."

Robb advised the companies to remain calm.

Although Shiranui has already started to glow, the warship is not yet fully formed, so I am definitely still safe.

However, it's clear that the company won't let Rob stay by Shiranui's side like that.

She held Shiranui in one hand, and then used the other hand to bring Robo to her side.

"Didn't I say it was nothing?"

Rob laughed as he ruffled the company's hair.

"That's what the commander thinks; I don't see it that way."

The company spoke in a muffled voice.

"Alright, alright, I was originally planning to see what the Awakening of Pearls and Jade looks like up close, but I'll pass now."

"When that warship appears later, just throw Shiranui at it."

"Then we quickly evacuated, and left the rest to Richelieu and the others."

Seeing the even stronger golden light in the Strike Freedom's palm, Rob couldn't help but marvel at its sky-high adaptability.

Even Helena Meta took a little while to complete her awakening after receiving the pearl.

As for Shiranui, she's already awakened before the true essence of her being has even fully emerged.

"Could this girl really become the first Tier 3 Jade Envoy?"

As the company shouted "Go!", Rob thought to himself as he watched Shiranui trace a graceful arc in the air and crash into Pleades Tora.

Chapter 866: The Mechanical Angel's Iron Fist

"Business, we're leaving!"

Sensing the increasingly obvious unease around him, Rob patted the company next to him.

Before Rob could even speak, the company had already made preparations to evacuate.

“Richelieu, Yorktown, take her under control.”

"You can decide the weight of your strikes yourselves, just make sure they don't sink."

At this moment, vortexes of spatial distortion began to appear around Pleades Tora.

Without a doubt, Shiranui, with her exceptional compatibility, is already a gem that has awakened to the second stage.

However, this also means that she is very likely to go into a berserk state.

In most cases, unless there are special offensive methods, the best solution is simply to beat them up.

Well, although it doesn't make much sense, it's very mecha-like.

Moreover, Robo wasn't worried that the Pleades Tora, whose ultimate attack was a direct head-on collision, would actually be sunk by his own ship.

"Don't worry, Commander."

"However, it seems there are other companions who want to join this battle~"

Richelieu's voice sounded somewhat playful on the communication channel.

"Others?"

Rob and Enterprise looked back with some curiosity, only to see a ship standing there, the kind that had just completed its refit.

"So fast?"

Besides a string of Leo, Rob also left behind a special machine.

To be precise, it should be three units.

However, these three usually operate as a unit, so Robo habitually counts it as one.

Of course, the reason I remember it so clearly now is that the system charged three times the amount.

As if noticing Rob's gaze, Triumph, who had just changed into a full suit of close-fitting armor, waved with a sunny smile toward the direction of the aerial assault Freedom.

"You wicked sister, the Commander is looking this way! You should at least show some concern!"

"Hmm...whatever is fine, it's good as it is..."

Feeling the almost delirious voice of the evil within her body, Kaixuan's little face fell.

At first, when Triumph tried to synchronize with the "new ship equipment" with Vicious, Vicious was extremely unwilling.

Even she knew that those who received special missions would definitely have more missions in the future.

More assignments mean more overtime.

The more overtime you work, the less rest you get.

How could someone so vicious possibly agree to such a thing?

However, when he learned about the "fusion" concept, he became extremely interested.

In her opinion, there was no better spot to slack off.

After all, once they merge, the control can be completely handed over to Triumph or Fear.

As for myself, I not only got paid hours but also didn't have to do any physical labor.

Is there really such a good thing in the world?!

"Ah~ really, looks like I'll have to work hard for my sister's sake too!"

He clenched his little fist and looked at Pleades Tora, who was surrounded by multiple spatial vortexes not far away.

...

"Hehehe~"

On the other side, Shiranui, who was being tossed around like a ball by the company, had already synchronized with Pleades Tora.

At that moment, she felt an unprecedentedly powerful force.

At the same time, one's greed for everything is amplified infinitely.

She could sense that everything around her—matter, energy, and even other things—could be taken away by her.

"Mine...hehe...all mine!"

...

"Ah, just as the commander said."

Richelieu felt the stirring from not far away and, somewhat helplessly, raised the flag in his hand.
