Lexington still smiled helplessly, "Sarah, stop being naughty. Don't you see that the commander is already troubled?"

"Really?" Saratoga immediately lowered her head and looked at Huang Chen. Seeing him lying on her legs in a weird posture, she couldn't help but laugh, "Commander, are you performing acrobatics?"

Then he gently lifted Huang Chen and made him sit up straight. "Hmm... Giving someone else a lap pillow doesn't seem as interesting as sleeping on their lap."

That's natural... Huang Chen thought to himself. Looking at the girl's playful and quirky appearance, he didn't know what to say for a moment, thinking about returning to the Windward.

There seemed to be some sea breeze just now, but now even the sea breeze has disappeared, and it is extremely hot even under the shade of the trees.

However, Saratoga rolled her eyes, then pulled Huang Chen's hand and shook it, "How about this, Commander, let Sister Sara sleep on your lap."

Having said that, without caring whether Huang Chen agreed or not, he patted his thigh, making a snapping sound, and then lay down.

Huang Chen grinned. The girl's grip was quite strong. Lexington, who was standing nearby, was also squeezed and stood up helplessly.

Saratoga immediately and unceremoniously took the vacant seat on Lexington's belt and lay down on it. "Sister is so kind."

Lexington still smiled gently and helplessly, and said nothing.

"Commander, pat me too." Saratoga lay on Huang Chen's thighs, changed several positions, and finally chose a sideways position.

Huang Chen also followed the girl's request and gently patted her arms and back.

Although Saratoga looks very different from her sister, she has a childlike chubbyness. She also looks chubby and soft in photos.

Huang Chen couldn't hum, so Saratoga hummed the same ballad as before, melodious and soothing.

But the voice became lower and lower.

She is tired too... Huang Chen felt something and continued to reduce the strength and frequency of his pats as the girl sang.

Finally, it stopped as the singing faded away.

The air was a little quiet, with only the rustling sounds of insects around. Suddenly, there seemed to be a sea breeze blowing, making the air around much fresher.

She fell asleep... Huang Chen lowered his head and found that Saratoga pursed her lips, but her eyes were still open, just staring blankly at the ground not far away.

"Commander." The girl whispered, as if she was talking in her sleep.

"I'm here."

"Commander, I'm back." The girl's voice was a little unclear, as if she had not woken up yet, and seemed to be choking.

"I'm back and I won't leave again." Huang Chen gently patted the girl's arms and back again.

"really?"

"Really, really, I won't leave." Huang Chen leaned over and whispered in the girl's ear.

Lexington stood aside, somewhat dissatisfied with his performance just now.

Chapter 346 Z35/Z36/Comet (4K)

The sea breeze was still blowing, Huang Chen gently patted Saratoga, who was resting her head on his knees, while Lexington stood silently beside him. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.

The girl had a slender and light figure, and even though almost all of her body weight was on Huang Chen's legs, she didn't feel any discomfort.

It looked more like a little cat sitting on someone's lap. But it also looked like a family of three playing in the park, with their daughter, who hadn't started school yet, sitting on their lap.

"It's time to eat. I'm so hungry."

After an unknown amount of time, Saratoga suddenly stood up, made a face at Huang Chen and said.

The girl's cheeks were a little red, or perhaps her eyes were a little red, but her movements were too fast, and Huang Chen didn't see clearly.

The three of them stood up and walked towards the Windward.

The dock was completely deserted, just as it had been when I'd arrived. After all, the sun was blazing, baking the pier's flagstones white. In weather like this, wouldn't it be nice to stay on the Windward and enjoy the breeze?

Huang Chen and Lexington were both walking steadily, but Saratoga, with her hands behind her back, circled around Huang Chen. Her violet eyes seemed to be fixed on Huang Chen, making him worry that she might trip over a stone or something.

The boarding bridge is built on the dock. I didn't feel anything when I came down just now, but when I walked up now, I unexpectedly found that it was a little shaky.

After a closer look, I found some signs of repair on the bridge, but it was too rough and could only be used barely.

I think I heard Bumblebee say last time that the bridge boarding boat was broken... Huang Chen followed Lexington to the deck and watched Saratoga still jumping towards him.

The repaired marks squeaked due to the vibration, and the painted areas cracked.

Huang Chen tilted his head and watched the wires jumping. Suddenly, his heart tightened and an inexplicable fear arose.

The next moment, Saratoga's figure indeed lowered and disappeared from his sight.

The boarding boat collapsed again! ...Huang Chen hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the girl up, completely forgetting that Saratoga was a ship girl, and the height of ten meters was no threat to her.

He had an extraordinary physique and was quite excited at the moment, so his movements were so fast that even Lexington behind him couldn't see clearly.

The next moment, Huang Chen picked up a pink-haired girl with a confused look on her face, and then threw her onto the deck.

The girl was light and a little plump, and she even bounced a little when Huang Chen threw her on the deck.

Then it rolled to the corner of the deck and lay there motionless.

"Sarah, are you okay?" Huang Chen hurried over and helped the girl up.

Saratoga was a shipgirl after all. She slowly sat up, but the cunning light in her eyes was no longer there. "It was fine..."

It was all fine... Huang Chen didn't understand why, but suddenly he heard Lexington's chuckle.

I turned around in confusion and found that the boarding bridge was still there intact. Where did it collapse?

"So, this is just a prank?" Huang Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl. The latter puffed her lips and nodded unwillingly. "The commander is so powerful that I didn't even react just now."

Lexington also walked over with a chuckle covering his mouth. "The Commander is already very strong, and Sarah's prank just now was too much. The Commander is a little anxious."

Sarah pouts and stands up, seeming a little unhappy.

Huang Chen pressed the girl's head and took a closer look. He saw only some dust on her body and no injuries. He smiled and said, "My strength is indeed quite strong now, but it's a little strange."

He briefly recounted his experiences, including encounters with Jiaozi and Bumblebee in Area C11. His memory also seemed a bit strange, but with the return of the girl from the harbor, he gradually recalled his past experiences there.

Saratoga listened from the side, and cunning little stars began to appear in her eyes again.

She was not interested in the commander's increased strength. The commander was very strange when he was in the port area. He often did things that ordinary people could not do. Even if he was very strong, it was not a strange thing.

"In other words, the commander actually doesn't remember me now?" Saratoga stood in front of Huang Chen, put her hands on her hips, and asked with her head tilted.

Huang Chen felt a little embarrassed, but he still told the truth, "I can't say I don't remember, it's just that I don't remember anything about the port area, but I still remember a lot of things..."

He narrowed his eyes. "Isn't it strange how Sarah came to the harbor?"

Of course he remembered this aviation deck, a first-charge reward. Apart from being a bit flat, the rest of it was worthy of the name of an aircraft carrier.

Unexpectedly, Saratoga also frowned, "Actually, I can't remember clearly, it seems..."

The girl stammered, unable to utter a single word. Lexington was also somewhat puzzled. "It seems, I don't remember..."

"Of course you don't remember. You came after Sarah." Huang Chen laughed.

The two of them laughed immediately, no longer caring about the past memories. In fact, Huang Chen and Enterprise had carefully explored it and found that the ship girls' memories of the past port area were actually quite vague.

But sometimes I just can’t help but remember some details. I don’t know why, so I can only let it go for now.

"Commander. What a coincidence."

Eugen's voice suddenly came from behind. Huang Chen turned around and found that there were many people following the girl.

Elbin was hiding behind with a small umbrella, and there were two girls around him who were about the same height as Sarah. The girl with long blue hair had red and blue heterochromatic eyes, similar to Elbin, and looked like sisters.

But in terms of body shape, it looks like a sister of Saratoga.

The other girl has short brown hair and a pink headband. She looks cute and playful, and her figure is a bit like Elbin's sister.

The one with blue hair should be Z36, and the one with brown hair is probably Z35... Huang Chen blinked and thought for a moment.

However, the girl didn't give him a chance to think. Z35's blue eyes lit up, and she immediately skipped over to Huang Chen's side, leaning slightly towards him with her hands behind her back. "Commander! I dreamed of you last night, and I saw you today."

"Huh? Shouldn't we have been sailing last night?" Z36 approached with some confusion, her expression suddenly changing. "Could it be that my sister, without my knowledge, communicated with the power of the devil and saw the commander? Damn it."

She spoke hesitantly, and suddenly a light flashed in her eyes. Then she raised one hand high and covered her right eye with the other. "Actually, I also communicated with the power of the devil last night and saw traces of the Master..."

A trace of disdain flashed across Z35's face, and she rubbed slightly away from Z36.

Huang Chen's face was full of smiles as he ruffled the two little girls' hair. "I dreamed about you all last night too..."

"Really?" Z35 asked in surprise, then lowered his head and laughed, hooking his fingers.

Saratoga stood not far away, rubbing her butt, which seemed to still be a little sore, and looked at the three people, "How fake."

Children are much easier to deal with than adults. Even if the commander has disappeared for so long, as long as he comes back, no one cares why he disappeared.

She just jumped around Huang Chen, chattering about trivial things.

For example, the rice at the restaurant they ate at yesterday wasn't tasty; it was too sticky. Another example: a fish followed them for a long time while they were sailing on the sea today, and then disappeared just as Z35 was trying to pick it up as a pet.

Several people walked to the cafeteria, found a large table to sit around, and then went to get their meals. When Huang Chen returned to his seat with a tray of food.

I realized that Bailey and Santiago had woken up at some point and sat over. There was also a girl with green twintails sitting at the table.

Seeing Huang Chen coming over, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Commander, I see there is no one here..."

There was no one in the cafeteria... Huang Chen looked at the sparsely populated cafeteria. Even though it was already lunchtime, there weren't many people in the cafeteria.

But when the lectures start, the children and teachers who are attending the classes will have to squeeze in their time after school to eat, right?

Huang Chen ruffled the girl's hair and said with a smile, "It's okay, Comet, just stay by my side."

Bailey on the side immediately said, "Rabbit also wants to sit next to the commander."

Santiago was shocked and said, "I want to sit here too."

However, he was still a step too late, and could only sit next to Bailey in a depressed mood.

When Lexington returned, the two girls, Z35 and Z36, were also shouting, "How cunning!"

After lunch, Tiancheng arranged rooms for everyone, while Huang Chen planned to find the ship girl manager here to inquire about car rental and then return the key to her ship.

I was planning to go to Whitewater City, but unexpectedly Lexington and the others came here on their own, so now the cultural performance will continue.

Huang Chen walked towards the gate. Lexington had been watching him silently. Suddenly, he asked with some confusion, "Where are you going, Commander?"

"Rent a car? You may not know yet, but we came back to Area C11 to hold a performance." Huang Chen explained what happened.

Lexington felt quite regretful after hearing this. "If the commander had come a week earlier, we could have used the stage we set up earlier."

Huang Chen was helpless. There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing. In fact, he felt a little secretly happy.

They needed a stage, but it was only a small one. As idols, Lexington and the others' comeback stage was definitely not small.

Huang Chen felt embarrassed when he thought about singing on a huge stage. Suddenly he frowned and asked with some confusion.

"You were also at the comeback concert in the park. Didn't you notice the letter I left?"

"Letter, what letter?" Lexington was confused.

"It's a letter for everyone," Huang Chen explained. "I thought someone might return to the port area, so I left a letter in the park. I remember putting it under a stone in front of the tombstone."

Lexington was silent for a moment, perhaps because he was amazed at the commander's act of commemorating him, or perhaps because he was dissatisfied with the use of the letter as a sacrifice.

After a long while, she slowly shook her head and said, "We've looked there too, and there's nothing there."

"No, how could it be gone? Could someone else have taken it?" Huang Chen was puzzled, but Lexington shook his head, "Maybe the clue left by the commander was too small."

"Too small a clue?"

"Putting the envelope under a rock might get it taken away by passersby, or by wild animals. It's not very safe."

"Yeah." Huang Chen nodded, but he didn't think any normal person would take the letter from someone else's grave.

But then I thought, the park is remote and abandoned, and it's not easy to walk to the graves in the park. If someone really walked there, they definitely weren't normal people.

"Why don't we just push the cenotaph away?" Lexington suggested.

"Is this appropriate?" Huang Chen was shocked. "Is this considered vandalism? That place can be considered a tourist attraction now."

"What's wrong with that? Isn't the commander fine now?" Lexington said.

Judging from the girl's words, she seemed to have always been dissatisfied with the cenotaph built by the ship girl headquarters.

"Or else, tell the Kanmusu headquarters and ask them to come."

"I'm afraid the KanColle headquarters doesn't remember this incident." Lexington shook his head, but didn't say anything more about it. He pulled Huang Chen and walked towards the door.
