The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

The latter thought about it carefully and was somewhat tempted. After all, that thing was indeed a bit disgusting, but the issue of the envelope did need further study.

He was also a little curious about where Saratoga had gone, but since Lexington was leaving in a hurry, he didn't care.

The two walked to the dock. The sun was still scorching. Huang Chen walked quickly into the small building. "Minister Baltimore?"

No one answered from inside. After a while, a slightly impatient voice was heard.

"I'm eating. Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

Huang Chen also touched his head awkwardly and looked aside, "Lexington, how about we come back later?"

"Lexington!"

A somewhat surprised voice sounded, and in a flash, Minister Baltimore appeared in front of Huang Chen.

"Minister Baltimore, long time no see." Lexington walked forward with a smile.

The captain's face was filled with surprise and excitement. She grabbed Lexington's hand and asked excitedly, "Why are you back? Is the album out? Can I buy a few copies?"

You look like a dog... Huang Chen watched silently from the side and shook his head slowly.

"No, I heard the news from the commander and came back early." Lexington explained.

The Kanmusu director immediately looked regretful, "Is that so? Then when you release an album in the future, you must send it to me as soon as possible."

However, Dunkirk frowned and hesitated, "Minister Baltimore, we may not release another album."

"What?" The captain of the ship girl was suddenly shocked.

"The purpose of our album was to find the Commander..."

"To retrieve the commander?" The captain of the ship girl's department looked back and forth at Huang Chen.

Huang Chen felt his scalp tingle. For a moment, he felt that the girl in front of him wanted him to disappear again.

"Actually, I can still continue to release albums." He looked at the palm of his hand and explained solemnly.

"Huh?" Both girls looked at him in confusion.

"When you return to the harbor, you'll have plenty of free time. If you want to release an album or something, that's fine. I support you."

Chapter 347 We were together yesterday

The Shipgirl Director immediately looked at Lexington with anticipation and excitement, "Lexington, you will definitely release a new album, right? Right, right?"

Lexington said somewhat awkwardly, "Even so, with so much work to do in Hong Kong right now, we probably won't be able to release too many albums."

The Kanmusu director still refused to give up, "Isn't this album already ready? Just waiting to be published?"

"Originally, it was to be published at the Shipgirls' Headquarters in Whitewater City, but now that the Commander is back, it might have to wait until the port area stabilizes," Lexington said hesitantly.

The shipgirl captain pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, "Then remember to send me a copy."

"Of course." Lexington breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Huang Chen.

Minister Kanmusu's expression brightened after receiving the promise. "Minister Huang Chen? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Here are the keys from before." Huang Chen handed over the yacht keys and continued, "Also, I'd like to ask if there's a car rental place nearby?"

"Rent a car?" The captain was a little confused. "I do have a car here, but I don't use it often. If you need it, I can lend it to you..."

"One car might not be enough." Huang Chen shook his head. "We have a lot of people in the harbor."

"Your port area?" The captain of the ship girl was a little puzzled.

Huang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Our port area is planning to hold a performance in that park in the suburbs."

"That's the park where we held our comeback concert before," Lexington explained.

The shipgirl nodded after hearing this, but she looked at Huang Chen with considerable confusion, "I won't tell you about the performances held in the port area, but why do you have to hold them in that park?"

Because that used to be my port area... Huang Chen was silent. Once such an answer was given, things would probably become difficult to explain.

He thought for a moment, then responded to Baltimore's curious look and said simply, "I used to live in the C11 area for a while, near the park at that time."

"Is that so?" Minister Baltimore nodded without saying much, but muttered in surprise, "Lexington also said before that they have lived here for a long time."

After saying that, he didn't care about their attitudes and turned around and walked into the room.

Huang Chen looked at the girl beside him with some surprise.

Lexington leaned over and whispered in his ear, "We didn't tell him before that the park was our former port area."

"Why?" Huang Chen was a little confused.

"Because the Commander has been gone for too long," Lexington said helplessly. "I used to tell them how long the Commander has been gone, but they always told me to give up."

Huang Chen fell silent. An ordinary person, after seventy years, would be an octogenarian, even if he didn't die.

Only by trying not to mention how long the commander has been missing, and only mentioning his appearance and other characteristics, will others pay attention.

Otherwise, I would definitely not take it to heart when I heard that he had disappeared for so long.

Huang Chen stood silently at the door. Lexington rubbed his head gently and said, "It's okay, Commander. After all, you're back now."

"There's a car rental place here." The captain of the ship came out with a map and gave the two of them a strange look at the door. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Lexington smiled and took the map. The captain of the ship came up and explained attentively, "It's here. Just go out from the back gate and follow this road."

She stretched out her right hand again, a bunch of car keys dangling from her fingers. "It's quite far, can I drive you there?"

Huang Chen looked at the girl's excited expression and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." The captain of the ship girl nodded and smiled, but her eyes were always fixed on Lexington.

I turned around and went back to the room, and then I heard the little girl named Ziying complaining, "Bushi, you ran away again."

The captain of the ship came out again and smiled at Lexington, "I'll go get the car."

Then he ran out quickly.

In the short time since she entered, she had actually changed her clothes. Huang Chen sighed and pulled Lexington to sit on a bench nearby.

"In the afternoon, Akashi and the others will set up a small stage, and then have a performance tomorrow. Is Lexington interested in participating?" Huang Chen asked casually.

"Of course. But the protagonist this time is still the commander, right?" Lexington chuckled.

Huang Chen stared at the girl in disbelief. The latter's eyes were curved like crescent moons. "Sarah told me before that this performance is mainly a reward for the sisters who attacked last time. The focus is on the commander."

"Sarah, tell me where she heard that?" Huang Chen frowned, quickly thinking of a girl with long pink hair. Princeton, this guy must have told Saratoga everything.

"It seems to be Princeton." Lexington covered his mouth and chuckled, then felt a little regretful. "I heard that the reward this time also includes a photo of the commander."

"This kind of thing..." Huang Chen waved his hand awkwardly, "If you really want it, you can go find Mingshi then."

"Akashi? Is she in charge of this kind of thing..." Lexington was a little confused.

"It's not that she is responsible for this kind of thing." Huang Chen scratched his head. He originally wanted to give Lexington a few directly, but then he remembered that he didn't have this thing himself.

"The photos used as rewards here were all provided by Akashi. Although they were supposedly all turned in, there should still be some left."

"Hand it over?" Lexington noticed a strange word.

Huang Chen chuckled and vividly explained the various deals Akashi had been doing in the port area. Lexington, listening nearby, also laughed.

"But Mingshi still doesn't work." Huang Chen said, sighing.

Lexington also had a curious look on her face. She felt that the commander had changed a lot, not only in his attitude towards the ship girls, but also in his every move and gesture, which was very different from what she remembered.

At least as far as she could remember, the commander had never laughed and talked with her like this, as if they were having fun with each other as a family.

"You know Gridley and Qingye, right?" Huang Chen slapped his thigh and said with admiration, "These two guys are the real talents. They are even better than talents. They are great talents, geniuses."

He sighed, but didn't notice that Lexington's expression beside him became a little strange.

"You know, these two guys started a magazine? They collect corporate brochures and sell them to Essex. They collect Amagi brochures and buy them for Akagi. They collect Saratoga brochures and sell them to Princeton..."

Huang Chen said, and suddenly thought of something, looking at Lexington, "If I remember correctly, they should have looked for you recently, right?"

"Yes." Lexington nodded, a rare look of embarrassment on his face. "We were together yesterday."

Chapter 348: Some Expectations

"yesterday?"

Huang Chen was a little unresponsive at first. After a moment of silence, he finally understood what Lexington meant - they were with Gridley and the others yesterday.

Lexington had an awkward look on his face. His eyes fell on the poster on the wall. He explained to himself, "I left in a hurry yesterday..."

Huang Chen grinned. He felt like this had happened before. Last time, Mingshi seemed to have forgotten about the sisters he lived with. The Windward had sailed a long way and then turned back.

I never thought that someone as gentle as Lexington could do such a thing.

"But we left a note, and they will come here when they see it." Lexington saw Huang Chen's face turned strange and explained hurriedly.

"Oh." Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "I thought it was the same as Mingshi."

As he spoke, he described again in vivid detail what Akashi had done.

Lexington smiled and said, "Actually, time was too tight. I didn't have time to wait for them yesterday afternoon, so I left a note. If they saw it tonight, maybe they would have been able to come this afternoon."

Huang Chen nodded, "Just now I heard from the Ship Girl Director that you were preparing a new album?"

"A new album, and some merchandise." Lexington smoothed his hair and suddenly smiled. "Gridley is great at taking photos. When she gets here, let's ask her to be the photographer for the show."

"The performance still needs a photographer?" Huang Chen was immediately shocked. What? He wanted to take pictures of his dark history and enjoy them slowly?

"After all, this is a very meaningful event, and it can be regarded as a commemoration of the port area, right? If the commander disappears again..."

"I can't disappear again!" Huang Chen interrupted the girl and sighed helplessly, "Let her take the photos."

Even as he said this, he was thinking that Gridley might not come back so soon, so if the performance could be held faster, it wouldn't be a big problem.

The two chatted for a while, then heard the roar of a car outside the door, followed by the voice of the ship girl leader, "Lexington, Commander Huang Chen, let's go."

The two walked out the door and saw the captain of the ship's mother driving a black car.

The style is quite common, reminding Huang Chen of the time when they were at the hot spring resort in Tiancheng. At that time, there seemed to be a small car similar to this one in the parking lot.

The captain's eyes lit up with excitement as she patted the co-pilot's seat with one hand, "Lexington, sit here. The view ahead is great."

Lexington declined the invitation from the ship girl director and sat in the back with Huang Chen.

The Ship Girl Director didn't seem to care. The car started moving quickly and left the Ship Girl Headquarters along the winding road.

As the car drove on, some old and abandoned buildings gradually came into view. There were many two-story buildings on the roadside, but they had been abandoned for a long time. The tiles on the walls were falling and the posters were faded.

Through some dilapidated wooden-framed windows, you can see various weeds and plants in the room.

"This place used to be very prosperous. It was said that there were hundreds of ship girls living here, but it was just like this when I came here." The ship girl director said while driving.

She pointed to a room in front and said, "When I first came here, there were people here, but they left a few years ago."

Huang Chen looked over and found that those houses were indeed much newer than the other abandoned houses.

"I heard from the seniors in front that they were still working there ten years ago." The KanColle headquarters pointed to a building hidden in the wild wood not far away and said.

Its structure is similar to the office buildings of other KanColle headquarters, but it is now covered with unfamiliar green plants.

The car was still wobbling along the small road. Everything around it was filled with an air of decay and decline, which made Huang Chen a little dazed for a moment.

However, the Shipgirls director was unaffected by this atmosphere and continued to ramble on, "I'll be leaving in a year or two. This place is really boring. I heard a long time ago that this Shipgirls branch was going to be disbanded, but it's still here."

Now there are only two people, so it can basically be considered as disbanded... Huang Chen smiled silently and said nothing.

"Maybe a year, maybe two. Lexington, if your album won't be released until next year, don't send it here. Send it directly to the KanColle headquarters in Whitewater City. I'll definitely be there by then."

Lexington nodded, "Okay."

The shipgirl director seemed to smile. "Why don't I go directly to your port area to take a look when the time comes? By next year, your port area will have been rebuilt, right?"

Lexington was a little hesitant. She had heard from the company before that the situation in their port area was very complicated.

The location has not yet been determined, and it is unknown how long construction will take.

However, the captain of the ship girl seemed to not need her answer at all. She became excited for a moment and chattered incessantly about the scene of visiting Huangchen Port in the future.

Huang Chen, who was standing by, was a little surprised.

I even thought that if I wanted to salvage a ship, this guy should be easy to catch, right? After all, I had proposed to visit someone else's port.

But Huang Chen had no interest in salvaging ships, and there was already a Baltimore in the port area, whom he liked very much.
