The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

"It feels pretty good." Huang Chen chuckled, walked onto the red carpet and felt it a little.

Although I always heard about walking the red carpet when I was in my hometown, now that I have experienced it myself, I don’t feel anything special.

Is it because of the lack of a group of cameramen who keep taking pictures?

"After a while, we'll move these yachts to the side, and this side will be completely free. It will be even better for the experience."

Qiye put one hand on her waist and shared her ideas with Huang Chen.

"Very good." Huang Chen nodded, but suddenly his mind recalled the welcoming scene he had seen on TV before, which seemed to require a band or something.

He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Enterprise continue with a laugh, "Bumblebee also suggested that I go to Lexington and ask them to prepare a piece of music to welcome Musashi and Vanguard."

"I thought about it and decided to refuse. This arrangement is already quite grand. If we prepare a band, I'm afraid Musashi and the others won't dare to come up to the dock."

Huang Chen suddenly hesitated to speak.

Enterprise looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong, Commander?"

"Nothing." Huang Chen shook his head. He was just rejected by you in advance.

He stood at the dock, feeling the gentle sea breeze on his cheeks. He glanced at Shokaku, who seemed a little bored, and asked casually, "They'll probably come this afternoon, right?"

"Well, according to the freighter that returned yesterday, they should arrive this afternoon." Enterprise nodded and added, "The dormitories have been arranged in Elizabeth's castle."

Huang Chen immediately laughed and said, "Silly White's castle always plays some role besides being an ornamental."

He paused and continued, "There's also the Centaur welcome ceremony. Are you ready?"

The reason why I mention it separately is because there is a high probability that this centaur is Minato's companion.

In the past, I didn’t have the conditions. When I met a girl who was returning home, I would at most mention her at lunch or dinner, and then we would have a drink together.

Now that we know it in advance, we naturally need to prepare a welcome ceremony.

But at the same time, consider that it was just a wild centaur situation.

"It's ready, semi-hidden." Enterprise suddenly smiled and pointed to a warehouse-like room next to the dock. "I'll observe it with the Grim Reaper in advance. If I'm sure it's a Centaur, I'll unfold the banner."

"Very good." Huang Chen nodded, feeling a little bit expectant. "I wonder what the Centaurs are doing now."

The Centaurs are now sailing.

Ning Yang traveled a long way from area Y to area C1.

If you take a passenger ship, or other means of transportation such as a car or train, it will take at least half a month.

However, this time the Centaurs compressed the time to one week, so they had to travel day and night, and sail by themselves whenever they could.

When I have to rest, I will find a cruise ship heading to Ningyang and rest on the ship.

The journey was difficult and even the ship girl would feel tired. Fortunately, the weather was good today. Although the clouds were low, it was not raining and there was no sun.

There is even a whistling sea breeze, and the salty smell seems to be able to blow away all the tiredness.

"We're almost at Ningyang." The centaur gazed into the distance. The sea breeze blew her long golden hair, revealing her pointed ears.

The faint outline of land has appeared at the end of the field of vision.

It is said that a horse will die if it runs too fast, but a Centaur is not a horse after all. She is an elf galloping on the sea, and she is a mysterious ship girl.

For her, the distance in front of her can be reached in about half an hour.

"Hurry up, Senior Yuanchou, we'll be here soon."

"I know, don't rush me, this journey is really too long." A girl with long light yellow hair was sailing not far behind the Centaur.

But he looked very tired, as if he could fall asleep at the next moment.

The centaur slowly stopped, with an embarrassed look on her face. Her level of cultivation was not high, so this journey was still very challenging for her.

"How about we take a break in Ningyang before heading back to the harbor?"

"No, no need." Yuanchou shook his head, but a faint smile appeared on his face. "The port area that made the centaurs rush back so anxiously is indeed something to look forward to."

The Centaur smiled softly upon hearing this, and the tiredness on his face seemed to be lessened a little.

Yuanchou continued, "As for those new ideas I have, I wonder if the commander is willing to try them out."

The smile on the Centaur's face froze instantly.

Chapter 872 Preparing gifts

Ningyang Headquarters, Commander Affairs Office.

The vanguard leaned back in his recliner, his long legs casually draped over the desk. He looked helplessly at Albion, who was spinning around beside him, and shook his head, saying, "Stop for a moment, okay? You're running so fast you could generate electricity."

"Ah, okay, okay." Albion was stunned, smiled embarrassedly, and then sat aside.

However, after sitting for only a moment, she couldn't help but stand up and spin around in an open space nearby.

The vanguard let out a long sigh, but didn't say anything. He just shook his head and asked, "Is everything ready?"

"Yeah, everything is ready." Albion replied. Perhaps because her attention was distracted, she was less anxious and stopped spinning around.

He just counted on his fingers and said slowly, "Luggage, and a gift for Commander Huang Chen..."

"Gift? What gift?" Qianwei raised his head slightly with a puzzled look on his face.

Albion paused. "Didn't the Director prepare any gifts? Commander Huang Chen said this event was also to celebrate the completion of his port district..."

"Is that so?" The vanguard pursed his lips to make his expression less awkward, then turned his gaze to Janus who was sitting not far away. "Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right." Janus nodded obediently.

"Okay, what gifts have you prepared? Give me some when the time comes." Qianwei quickly thought of a solution and said with a careless wave of his hand.

A conflicted look suddenly appeared on Janus's face.

The gifts she prepared this time were not too many, just some simple decorations bought in the commercial street. In fact, she wanted to prepare them herself at the beginning.

I even asked Sister Jarvis what I should prepare, but she said there was no need to prepare anything.

In addition, his own craftsmanship was not very good, so Janus finally chose a few simple ornaments.

Although she didn't make them herself, every piece of decoration was carefully selected by her.

If I were to give it to the director now, which gift would be most suitable?

In fact, I don’t want to give any of them to the director.

Albion frowned and said hesitantly, "Director, isn't that a bit inappropriate? After all, gifts represent congratulations. It's not appropriate to share them equally, right?"

Janus nodded immediately, his icy blue hair swaying as his emerald green eyes stared at the director without blinking.

"Ah, I know, I know, it was just a joke, there's no need for you to be so nervous." Qianwei said with a smile.

Albion was stunned for a moment, then realized, "So the director has already prepared a gift?"

As expected, he is the director after all, so there will definitely not be any mistakes in such details. I was just worrying too much.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the vanguard continue to say carelessly, "Ah, no, this one hasn't been released yet."

Albion's eyes immediately widened as he stared at the Director.

The latter scratched his head and sat up from the recliner. "I was just joking when I asked you to share the gifts."

"Then Director, why don't you hurry up and prepare the gifts? We're running out of time." Albion said immediately.

Although this time I planned to borrow the headquarters' speedboat, it was much faster than an ordinary yacht and was almost the same as sailing on my own.

However, if you want to arrive in the afternoon, you must set off before lunch.

However, it is almost lunch time now. The Centaur Senior will arrive soon.

"It's okay, I'll just go take a look now." Qianwei touched his chin and continued to ask, "Speaking of which, what gifts did you prepare? I can avoid buying the same ones as you."

For some reason, Albion suddenly hesitated. Didn't the director want to ask them what gifts they bought and use it as a reference?

She hesitated for a moment and didn't say it.

Janus didn't think too much about it and said directly, "I, I prepared a teacup and a set of ornaments that can be placed on the desk."

"Teacups and ornaments?" Qianwei looked thoughtful.

Albion immediately knew what the director was thinking and reminded him helplessly, "Director, please don't buy the same thing as Janus."

Qianwei was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face as he defended himself, "What are you talking about? Am I such an unreliable person in your heart?"

Albion said nothing, but thought to himself, does this even need to be said?

Qianwei was a little embarrassed, but continued to ask, "Then what gift did you prepare?"

"Um...a notebook and a pen."

"Is that so?" Qianwei immediately looked thoughtful. "It sounds like you guys have prepared some office necessities together?"

Albion was stunned. She hadn't felt this way before, but after hearing what the director said, she realized that her gift and Janus's gift seemed to be things used in the office.

However... Commander Huang Chen seems, seems, probably, maybe not often stays in the office?

"Then I'll prepare some gifts that can be used outside." Qianwei didn't think too much about it. He walked out of the office with his hands folded. "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Snapped--

The office door closed.

However, Albion began to wonder if his gift was inappropriate.

Or should we prepare some other gifts?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but walk around in circles in the office, but her peripheral vision suddenly noticed Janus standing beside her.

Unlike her nervousness and anxiety, Janus looked happy and seemed to be eager to go to the Hehui Port area.

It looks like he's treating himself as a gift.

Inexplicably, this idea popped into Albion's mind.

But she reacted immediately and then shook her head wildly. It was really close to being able to generate electricity.

No, no, what are you thinking, Albion!

We were just invited to the garden party, there was no other mess.

She took a long breath and reminded herself in her heart.

Janus noticed her abnormality and asked with concern, "Sister Albion? What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing." Albion adjusted his long hair by his ears and sat down aside, thinking in his heart that he should not think about those inexplicable questions anymore.

Or should I think about whether I can prepare another more suitable gift?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a series of knocks on the door. Then the door opened and a golden-haired elf girl poked her head in.

It's the Centaur senior.

Chapter 873 Centaur Senior’s New Friend

"Senior Centaur!"

Albion's face showed a look of surprise, and all the previous entanglements and doubts disappeared instantly.

She walked forward a few steps, took the centaur's hand, and looked quite excited. She even didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Centaur was in much the same mood, a delighted smile on his face, "Long time no see, Albion."

"Well, I didn't expect to see Centaur Senior again. You must have worked hard on the journey. I'll go prepare some tea and snacks."

Albion said, and then got busy.

Janus also stood up and greeted, his little face full of joyful smile, "Centaur sister."

She also knew the Centaur, but her relationship wasn't as close as it was with Albion.

Rather, her situation was normal. The reason why Albion had such a close relationship with the Centaurs was because they often communicated through letters.

Janus had just been born when she met Albion. The two could almost be said to have been born at the same time. Therefore, although they were both free ship girls and had no sister relationship in the history of the Old World, they were as close as sisters.

When they were just born, they were a little confused and didn't know what to do, so they walked around like they were traveling, and finally met the Centaurs in area Y.

Maybe it's because of the sisterly relationship between Albion and the Centaurs in the history of the Old World, or maybe it's something else.

After the two returned to the C1 area and joined the Ningyang headquarters, Albion often wrote letters and shared almost everything with the Centaur senior.
