Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

"After returning from the expedition, it is a fine tradition to take a bath in the bathhouse. After taking a bath, they can repair and maintain the ship's equipment in the repair area outside the bathhouse."

"The second floor of the fortress is the dining area. The cafeteria and tavern, as well as the submarine destroyers' favorite pastry shop, are all on this floor."

Listening to Bismarck's words, Lin Lan's stomach growled loudly. He then remembered that he had eaten almost nothing the entire day.

Bismarck heard Lin Lan's stomach growling and smiled: "Tirpitz and the others should have told Eugen that they will prepare a big meal for you soon."

Lin Lan smiled and nodded. The big iron sausage, potatoes, beef and bread,

He had heard about it before, and couldn't help but feel excited.

"The third floor of the fortress is the library, entertainment, leisure and fitness area. Some girls' private rooms with personal hobbies are also on this floor."

"The fourth floor is our dormitory. I will arrange your room here as well."

Following Bismarck's introduction, the two had already passed through the hall, and a large translucent dark red suspended elevator that looked like something out of a science fiction movie appeared before them.

Walking into the elevator, Lin Lan looked around and felt as if he had come to a sci-fi world of the future. He couldn't help but marvel at it.

"The fifth floor of the fortress is the office area. Various meeting rooms and data processing rooms are all on this floor."

The translucent elevator slowly rose, and Bismarck explained the functional divisions of each floor of the fortress.

"So where are the energy core area and equipment room you just mentioned located?"

Lin Lan used to work in engineering. After listening to Bismarck's introduction, he couldn't help but ask.

"Those are all in the underwater area below the first floor. There are three more floors of the fortress below the sea surface."

"The third-to-last floor is the fortress's energy core area, the second-to-last floor is the functional equipment area, and the last-to-last floor is the warehouse, where supplies, oil, equipment, ammunition, and the like are stored."

As Bismarck said this, the elevator had gradually stopped.

Under the guidance of Bismarck, Lin Lan walked out of the suspension elevator and came to the second floor of the Iron Blood Fortress.

The layout of this floor is based on the usual simplicity of Iron Blood, and the walls are painted with brown wallpaper. Through the window, Lin Lan can clearly see the night view of the sea outside the fortress.

"This is our cafeteria."

After walking a few steps, a wooden door that had not been locked appeared in front of Lin Lan. Bismarck let go of Lin Lan's hand and pushed the wooden door open.

Chapter 13 Returning Home (First Update Today)

As the wooden door was pushed open, Lin Lan's vision suddenly opened up.

The lights in the spacious restaurant were not turned on and it was still pitch dark.

Bismarck couldn't help but said doubtfully:

"Why is there no one here? Is Eugen in some urgent matter and not here?"

Lin Lan didn't care. She smiled and joked, "She always likes to play tricks on others. Maybe she is preparing some surprise for us now."

Just as Lin Lan and Bismarck walked through the wooden door and were about to turn on the light, the originally dark restaurant suddenly lit up.

A few bangs were heard, and colorful streamers began to fall from the ceiling.

"Commander! Welcome home!"

Lin Lan instinctively raised his hands to shield his eyes because of the bright light, but before he put his hands down, deafening cheers reached his ears.

Putting down his hands, Lin Lan finally saw everything around him clearly.

I don’t know when, but there were already fifty or sixty Iron Blood Ship Girls standing in this spacious Iron Blood restaurant!

The iron-blooded piano music began to float, and in this European-style decorated restaurant, every ship girl had an excited and happy smile on her face.

Lin Lan had never expected this kind of situation.

At a glance, he saw the iron-blooded little lolis with pure smiles on their faces, as well as other iron-blooded ship girls with similar smiles on their faces.

Prince Eugen the Thumb-eater in a formal suit, the short Iron-blooded Princess Germany, Emden in a white dress...

Every familiar face in the game became real at this moment, and this impact made Lin Lan feel extremely shocked.

He stared at the scene blankly, and for a moment he found himself unable to utter a word.

At this time, a tall and slender woman with long black hair wearing a black dress walked slowly and gracefully to Lin Lan and Bismarck.

Her long black hair covered one of her eyes, and the revealed dark yellow eye reflected Lin Lan's figure, which contained endless tenderness and care.

With her noble temperament of controlling everything and her gentle and dignified elegance, her identity is self-evident, another iron-blooded leader - Frederick the Great.

"My child, everyone came to greet you after hearing the news of your return. Do you like this welcome ceremony organized by the Eugen Organization?"

There was a kind of care and warmth in Frederick the Great's voice that made one fall in love with him.

Lin Lan looked behind Frederick the Great and saw Prince Eugen standing with his proud golden-haired sister Hipper.

The white-haired Prince Eugen held his index finger and gave him a bright smile.

I should have anticipated this situation a long time ago, this playful Prince Eugen!

Frederick the Great in front of him nodded to Bismarck and walked slowly to Lin Lan.

Then, Frederick the Great reached out his hand and gently stroked Lin Lan's cheek with his smooth palm, looking carefully at every part of Lin Lan's body.

Her dark yellow eyes were as gentle as water, like a mother checking to see if her child who had just returned from a long journey had any injuries.

The H-class battleship, Frederick the Great, is also called the Dark Madonna or the Mother Ship by players.

As a second-phase Iron Blood research vessel, she is an Iron Blood flagship of equal status to the Bismarck.

Not only is he strategic and meticulous, but he is also extremely powerful.

In the game's plot, during Bismarck's disappearance, she also took on the role of acting leader of the Iron Blood camp.

However, what impressed Lin Lan the most was the unique maternal aura of Frederick the Great.

She treats the commander with the same tenderness as if she were pampering her own child.

This kind of personality has caused countless players to fall for it, and they have been turned into "useless commanders" by the Great Mother.

Seeing that Lin Lan was still in a daze and hadn't reacted yet, Frederick the Great smiled lovingly and gently held him in his arms.

Feeling the warm embrace coming towards him, Lin Lan was stunned. He felt at a loss after being touched by the facial cleanser.

Frederick, you are so straightforward. So many people are watching!

The Emperor's mother gently patted his back, as if she was coaxing a child, and said in an infinitely gentle tone:

"My child, long time no see. You... seem to be much more energetic than before."

"All the children of Iron Blood have sworn to serve as your Iron Blood warriors throughout their lives. Each of them is your closest family member."

In the restaurant, all the iron-blooded ship girls were silent at this moment. Apart from the melodious piano music, the only thing that reached Lin Lan's ears was the gentle voice of Frederick the Great.

Every iron-blooded ship girl has been praying for Lin Lan's return for too long. Some ship girls even thought they were dreaming when they were awakened by Eugen.

"No one can hurt you anymore, my child. The Iron Blood Army will sink anyone who dares to touch you into eternal nothingness."

"So, don't be nervous or frightened anymore, my child."

"Welcome home."

go home?

Listening to Frederick the Great's gentle words, Lin Lan inexplicably felt like crying.

Scenes of once tiring memories flashed through his mind. At this moment, in the arms of Frederick the Great, he actually felt the relaxation of returning home that he had forgotten for who knows how many years.

Since when did I forget what it feels like to go home?

It seemed like it was after that day.

It was a gloomy evening. His mother, who was supposed to be at home smiling and preparing meals, waiting for him to come home from elementary school, did not greet him at the door.

He was taken to the hospital by his neighbors to see his mother for the last time.

That gentle, kind and hardworking mother, lying on the dying bed, used her last bit of strength to force a warm smile towards him, who was still a child.

"Lanlan, from now on, mom can no longer accompany you to grow up..."

Lin Lan forgot the memories of a period of time after that because he didn't want to and didn't dare to recall it.

Watching his mother's face being covered with a white sheet and being wheeled away, and the child's feeble wailing in the hospital corridor, were the shadows buried deepest in his memory.

From then on, his father became completely depressed and spent his days drinking. After becoming addicted to drugs, he would beat him at any time.

Lin Lan’s home is gone.

The child who went out that morning never returned home again.

"My dear child, take a good look at all the Iron-blooded people. They have been waiting for their loved ones for too long. It is up to you to announce your return to them."

After the brief recollection ended, Lin Lan found that there were tears in his eyes.

Frederick the Great loosened his arms and moved sideways to let Lin Lan stand in front of her and Bismarck.

Countless eyes of longing, burning, and concern were fixed on him, and he also looked carefully at every iron-blooded ship girl he had ever brought into the port.

This powerful iron-blooded fleet, the iron-blooded fleet that he had personally cultivated bit by bit, now existed so truly before his eyes.

"I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry."

Lin Lan forced himself not to let his voice choke. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and with an excited smile on his face, he announced loudly:

"My girls, I'm back."

Chapter 14: Primary School Bully Z23 (Second update today)

"kindness……"

Lin Lan slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the high brown ceiling and the golden iron-blooded style chandelier.

He vaguely remembered that at the banquet last night, he talked a lot with his ship girls and was forced to follow the local customs and drink a lot of Iron Blood Dark Beer.

Of course, the little girls on the destroyer and submarine drank sparkling orange juice.

Tiexue’s sausage and pork elbow dishes were as delicious as their reputation, and Lin Lan’s stomach almost burst from eating so much.

The bed where Lin Lan was lying was the largest piece of furniture in this spacious room that belonged to him alone.

In addition to this big bed, there are all kinds of exquisite furniture and commonly used tools. It can be seen that the person who decorated the room was very thoughtful.

After feeling a slight headache and dryness, Lin Lan realized that he seemed to have drunk too much yesterday.

Rubbing his eyes and sitting up, he found that his clothes had been changed into a clean white vest and pajamas.

Just as he was about to get out of bed, he saw a little girl sleeping beside his bed.

Short brown hair with an iron cross hairpin, a dark blue beret with a bow on the bottom edge, and this iconic off-shoulder iron-blooded uniform.

Lin Lan's eyes softened. This little girl held a special meaning in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he got out of bed with a wicked smile, put on the commander's coat on his bedside table, and slowly approached the little loli who was sleeping soundly.

Just like the Big Bad Wolf approaching Little Red Riding Hood.

Just when the Big Bad Wolf’s sneak attack was about to succeed, Little Red… no, Little Blue Hat seemed to have sensed something and raised his head in a daze.

"Good morning, my teacher Nimi!"

"Alas?!"

Lin Lan stretched out her hands and picked up the little blue hat's slender body from behind.

That’s right, she is one of the three player’s initial ships in the game, and is known as the Big Four along with Javelin, Laffey, and Ayanami - Z23 Little Sensei.

Z23, who made the cute sound, seemed to have not yet reacted. She was held in the air. After realizing that she was attacked by Lin Lan, she immediately shouted out in shame and annoyance:
