The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

"Yubari?" Huang Chen looked at the ship girl who ran in front of him. She was not tall, even shorter than the ship girl who called her sister. She was chubby and had a little baby fat. It would be more appropriate to call her a cute younger sister rather than a sister.

She ran all the way over, stood in front of Huang Chen, raised her head, and hesitated for a long time, "Master, I'm back."

"I'm back." Huang Chen rubbed the girl's hair.

The girl stood in front of him with a satisfied look on her face. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and turned around to look for something. Then, she dragged the blue-haired girl who was hiding nearby over and said, "This is Ruoyue. Master, you can treat her as Yubari's sister."

"Ruoyue?" Huang Chen looked over and saw Ruoyue suddenly stand at attention, like a soldier seeing a general, and answered loudly with his head held high and chest puffed out, "Yes, Commander! Please give your instructions!"

Chapter 617 This is not just big

In the bicycle shop, people were sitting casually.

After listening to the girl for a long time, Huang Chen finally understood the relationship between Ruoyue and Yubari - Ruoyue was the sister that Yubari picked up.

This kind of thing is actually very normal. It is not the first time he has seen it. Last time, Eugen brought it back to Bristol.

However, Bristol has not called him Commander yet, but this little girl named Ruoyue stood at attention and called him "Commander" as soon as they met - although it was because the girl was too nervous, but in fact there was not much difference.

He glanced at Ruoyue, who was still standing uncomfortably not far away, and nodded with a gentle smile.

The latter had been paying attention to his every move. When he saw him turn his head, he subconsciously shrank his neck, then pinched the corner of his clothes with his fingertips and nodded.

I have to say, it's a bit silly.

Harbin leaned against the door, eating a cake without saying a word, but his face showed an expression that said this guy couldn't escape.

"So, has the master rebuilt the port area in the C3 area? Are you here to look for your former companions now?" Yu Zhang introduced his situation in a chattering manner, then swept his eyes over Huang Chen and the others, especially looking at Harbin for a second, and asked curiously.

"Yeah, almost." Huang Chen paused. "The port area is indeed in Area C3. I came to Area C2 to look for my former companions, but it may be a little different from what you think."

Yubari blinked.

Huang Chen hesitated for a moment and did not explain directly. Instead, he asked, "This small shop in Yubari has been open for a long time, right?"

"It's been a long time." Yubari nodded.

"Does Xi Zhang know that Yixian and the others are also in Shishui City?"

"Hmm!" The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and her black fox ears stood up, revealing the white fur inside. "Yixian, Yixian and the others, when did they come here?"

"It's been many years." Zhenhai took over the conversation. "It's quite famous in the food street of Shishui City, right? The ship girls who live in the ship girl headquarters often come to eat here."

"Is that so?" Yubari still looked incredulous. "I heard there's a delicious restaurant on the food street, but I've never been there."

Ruoyue couldn't help but interject, "Sister has always been reluctant to go out, so she has never been there."

Huang Chen had a blank expression on his face. He immediately thought of the people he met when he came to rent and return the car. Yu Zhang was clearly in the store, but he was hiding on the second floor.

If it wasn't for chance, who would have discovered this?

Zhenhai chuckled and said, "We rarely come to the KanColle headquarters, and the city is so big, it's normal that we haven't met anyone."

Yubari felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "So the master is actually here to look for Yixian and the others this time?"

"Well, because Elizabeth was preparing for the castle's inauguration ceremony and invited Pinghai and Ninghai, she got clues about Yixian and the others and rushed over."

"Elizabeth? Castle?" Yubari became more and more confused.

Huang Chen also realized that this topic made the girl look even more embarrassed, so he immediately stood up and patted the corner of his clothes. "Ah, let's not talk too much. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go to Yixian's restaurant. Didn't Ruoyue just say that she had been looking forward to it for a long time?"

"I didn't say that." Ruoyue blinked and answered cautiously and hesitantly, "Um, Commander."

Huang Chen scratched his head. "It doesn't matter. Well... if you really can't get used to it, just call me Old Huang like Harbin does. There's no need to call me Commander."

"This, isn't appropriate? I will try my best to get used to it, Your Excellency the Commander." Ruoyue said seriously, but this was much smoother than before.

"Then you can call me Your Excellency," Huang Chen continued. The main reason was that the little girl's voice was soft and timid, which always gave him an inexplicable and subtle feeling, as if she was forcing someone to do something.

"Sir? I understand." Ruoyue nodded, her face obviously happier than before.

"I told you, the master is a very nice person." Yubari said with a smile.

Huang Chen also smiled. Although the process seemed a bit tortuous, the result was still good... Well, it's just that when they set off in a few days, Unit 2 probably won't be able to accommodate so many girls.

"What's wrong? The girl has called you commander, what are you still hesitating about?" Harbin was still standing on the chair when he saw everyone leaving the door, and asked in confusion.

Huang Chen glanced at her without explaining, then walked out and watched Ruoyue close the shop door. The group walked towards the food street, chatting and laughing as the dusk was approaching.

……

In the C3 area, port area, a large ship loaded with construction materials slowly approached the dock under the command of shore staff.

As soon as the freighter stopped, the gantry crane that had been waiting for a long time began to work, lifting various building materials onto the truck that had been waiting for a long time parked on the side of the dock.

The purple-haired shipgirl, wearing a yellow hard hat and gray overalls with fluorescent stripes, stood by the ship and shook her head, her tone full of emotion. "Such a large freighter, this is already the fifth one. The scale of your port area is really unbelievable."

Hood smiled slightly. "Because a lot of places have been rebuilt, it seems like a lot of work."

"This is not just a little big." The purple-haired ship girl pulled her helmet up and watched the truck loaded with construction materials raise a thick cloud of dust and disappear in the green shade of the road. She couldn't help but recall everything she had seen in the past few days.

They had seen port areas built on small islands before, but the port area in front of them, with a construction area of nearly two square kilometers, was something they had never heard of, let alone seen.

Ordinary KanColle branches and even some local KanColle headquarters cannot reach this level.

When she first saw the plan, she thought she had seen it wrong. Is this a plan that the port area can come up with?

Unexpectedly, she soon met her colleagues from all over Ningyang City at the dock, including the logistics engineering department of the Ship Girl Headquarters and the construction company opened by the Free Ship Girl.

There were even construction teams coming from other cities and the C3 domain.

Even so, the construction time would still be as long as two months. Perhaps from the perspective of the human construction team, two months of construction time is not even enough for them to lay the foundation.

But for the ship girls, a standard construction team of ten ship girls only needs less than a week to build a standard port area for the ship girl headquarters - including a dock and office building, warehouse, dormitory that can accommodate twenty people, canteen, small playground and other facilities.

This even includes the time for preliminary planning, port site selection and transportation of construction materials. If it is just construction, this time can be shorter.

The number of construction teams on the island is conservatively estimated to be more than 20. It can be seen that it takes them two months to build the port area.

"That's just the port area." Hood chuckled, and suddenly looked towards the sea in the distance. A yacht with the logo of the KanColle headquarters was slowly approaching.

"finally come."

Chapter 618: Intimate Sister Harbin

Everyone chatted and laughed along the way, and when they returned to the restaurant, it was time for dinner.

Ruoyue looked up at the hotel's decor: the mahogany pillars, the heavy purple-black wooden doors, the carved beams and painted buildings, the angled corners and cornices. She was subconsciously stunned, "This... is amazing."

"But it's just a shop, no different from your bicycle shop." Harbin whispered from the side.

Ruoyue nodded. Her sister had been uncharacteristically chattering nonstop with Commander Huang Chen. Although she knew her sister was overly excited because she hadn't seen the Commander in a long time, she still felt quite lonely walking alone.

It was only when the older sister named Harbin came up to her and started a conversation that her embarrassment was eased a little.

And for some reason, although this older sister looks carefree and speaks boldly and unrestrainedly, she seems to be able to see through my heart and point out my worries in one word.

"You're back. Is this... Yubari?" Yixian was sitting in the hall. When he heard the noise at the door, he immediately raised his head and saw an unexpected black-haired girl.

Yu Zhang paused and nodded solemnly to Yixian, "Well, sorry to bother you. It's been a long time since we last met. I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts..."

"What are you talking about? We're all just fellow travelers from the harbor." Yixian chuckled. "Reuniting after a long separation is a joyous occasion, no matter what. How can we even talk about disturbing or not disturbing each other? And how can we even talk about gifts?"

Yu Zhang shook his head and wanted to say something, but Huang Chen couldn't wait to interrupt, "Okay, we're all family, don't be so polite... Um, that... Ruoyue?"

As he spoke, he turned around to introduce Ruoyue to Yixian and the others, but he saw the little guy and Harbin whispering to each other. Is the relationship between these two progressing so quickly?

Or is this guy from Harbin saying something bad about himself?

"I'm here! Your Excellency!" Ruoyue stood at attention again.

"Ruoyue, is he a new partner in the port area?" Yixian asked doubtfully. Just as Yu Zhang was about to nod, Huang Chen explained in advance, "It's similar to Harbin."

"I understand." Yixian nodded and chuckled.

Perhaps because of the commotion in the hall, footsteps could soon be heard from the second floor. A girl with long brown hair ran in front, skipping down the stairs. "The Commander is finally back... Yeah, and Yubari and..."

"My name is Ruoyue."

"Oh, my name is Haiqi, this is Zhaohe, and the one over there is Fushun..."

Ruoyue nodded and greeted everyone seriously and nervously. Although it was the first time they met, the atmosphere was not dull thanks to Haiqi's straightforward introduction.

Gradually, more and more people came into the hall, making the hall, which seemed a little quiet just now, lively. Some people gathered around Yubari and Wakatsuki and chatted non-stop.

On the one hand, everyone was surprised to see new companions, and on the other hand, they were surprised that Yubari's bicycle shop was located right in the Kancolle headquarters, and no one had noticed each other before.

And children like Anshan who are more self-conscious began to prepare dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yixian ordered the dinner prepared by Ninghai Pinghai. Soon, all kinds of fragrant dishes were placed on the table, making people's mouths water.

Huang Chen's stomach, which had been tempted by various snacks in the KanColle headquarters, was finally satisfied.

After eating and drinking, everyone continued to chat. Although Yubari and Yixian had never met each other, they had lived in the same city for so long that they had some common topics.

Of course, we didn't just chat, we also talked about the small shops in Yubari and our future plans.

Night soon fell and the night lights were turned on in the hall.

Yubari checked the time, stood up and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

"Yes." Yixian nodded, "Remember to come for dinner later."

Haiqi and the others also waved to Ruoyue. Although they had only known each other for a short time, since they were ship girls from the same port, it was always easy to build a good relationship with them... Although the commander said otherwise, Haiqi and the others didn't think it made any difference.

"I know." Xi Zhang said, leading Ruoyue to the door. Huang Chen stood up and said, "Let me see you off. It's late at night, and it's not safe for two little girls to walk at night."

"Of course not, we are ship girls." Yu Zhang waved her chubby little fist, feeling looked down upon, but Huang Chen did not give her the chance to refuse. He walked in front and opened the door.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The clear moonlight and the four-color neon lights of the food street were intertwined, and the noisy voices made it almost impossible to hear other sounds.

As soon as Yubari and Wakatsuki went out, they were buried by the crowded crowd and could hardly see the road. It was only when Huang Chen held their hands that they finally reached the entrance of the food street.

"You said it was unnecessary." Huang Chen walked in front and looked at the two little guys who were a little dizzy because of the noise, and he felt a little amused.

"As long as we unfold the ship equipment, it will be fine." Yubari shook his head and said with his furry fox ears shaking.

Huang Chen didn't continue talking, but just walked quietly along the sidewalk.

After leaving the food street, there were not many people on the street outside. As they walked to the edge of the city, it could be said to be a bit desolate.

The three of them walked silently, their figures cast long shadows in the moonlight.

"As for the luggage, can it be packed out tomorrow?" Huang Chen suddenly looked at Yu Zhang and asked while walking.

"Luggage? That should be fine, right? I'll go back and pack it tonight and it'll be finished by tomorrow morning." Yubari paused and explained, "Actually, there's not much to take with me. The good furniture in the bicycle shop all belongs to the landlord."

Huang Chen was speechless. Although he knew before that the bicycle shop was rented by Yubari and her friends, and not only the shop but also the bicycles inside were rented, he never expected that even the furniture inside was rented.

"Then I'll come over tomorrow to help you pack, and then send it to the port area through logistics. Just leave some carry-on luggage." Huang Chen said after thinking for a while.

"Oh, okay." Yubari nodded.

Huang Chen turned his gaze to the blue-haired girl beside him, "How do you feel?"

"Ah, sir." Ruoyue came back to her senses, her rosy face brimming with excitement. "It's amazing! Everyone is so nice and affectionate, and they've been very kind to me, especially Harbin. She could see through my anxiety right away..."

Harbin… Huang Chen frowned slightly, suspecting that the girl in front of him had been brainwashed. Harbin could even see the anxiety in your heart at a glance? She could only make others feel anxious.

"You'll have to get used to it." He didn't say it in the end. Anyway, it seemed like a good thing.

The few of them chatted and soon reached the back door of the Kancolle headquarters. Huang Chen took them all the way to a place not far from the bicycle shop before stopping and preparing to go back.

Ruoyue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking back on everything that happened today, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Excellency is truly a good person."

"Of course the master is a good man," Yubari said as a matter of course. But then he saw the commander, who had disappeared at the intersection, return. Suddenly, he became confused. Was the master planning to stay here? Would that be a bad idea?

Of course she has no problem with that, but what would Ruoyue think?

"Well, can you lend me one? There are so many bicycles here, and I'm too lazy to walk back." Huang Chen walked closer and said embarrassedly.

Chapter 619 Game of Chess

Although it was still hot in the afternoon, the temperature became cooler when night fell, the sun set, and the sparse starry sky illuminated the earth.

At least when Huang Chen was riding his bike on the small road, and the leisurely breeze brushed against his cheeks and ears, he couldn't help but hold the corner of his clothes.

The food street was bustling with activity. He rode his bike to the small intersection and stopped, pushing it forward. In the past, he usually read a book in his room after dinner and prepared to wash up. He had never strolled around here like this before.

The streets were brightly lit on both sides, and the bright hall was filled with diners who were eating with great interest. The lively atmosphere and the sound of food were everywhere.

There are also hesitant pedestrians wandering the streets, listening to the solicitations and introductions of various store owners, and considering tonight's food.
