Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Essex!

Show your hard work confidently and let the Commander, who has finally returned, bear witness to it!

This period of time may sound long, but in the eyes of Lin Lan, Anchorage and other spectators in the stands, it only happened in a few breaths.

The two White Eagle aircraft carrier ship girls, whose movements were originally exactly the same, chose two completely different ways to turn.

And both the enterprise and Essex were determined to win, and their capable actions did not waver in the slightest.

Whether it was Lin Lan, Mori or Harman, they all held their breath at this moment, staring at Essex who had entered the curve and started drifting.

If successful, then Essex will most likely catch up with or even surpass Enterprise.

If it fails, Essex will drive off the track, resulting in an instant victory or defeat.

The figure in green clothes and the light of the blue motorcycle were getting closer and closer to the edge of the inner road!

"Commander, Senior Enterprise, please take a look at the results of my hard work, Essex!"

With Essex's superb speed control and drift distance control, the beautiful lady in a green jacket drove the racing motorcycle, tightly biting the edge of the inner lane, and passed the curve perfectly with almost an extreme arc!

Essex made it!

Lin Lan stood up from her seat excitedly and held Eldridge in her arms.

Essex actually managed to overtake at the last moment...

What?

At the same time, Enterprise also completed a drift around Essex with a perfect and cool move.

The two White Eagle aircraft carrier girls returned to the same starting line again, and almost rushed side by side towards the final finish line in front of the straight track.

Who will be the winner?

Is it the legendary Enterprise, the lonesome white eagle aircraft carrier? Or is it the new and cutting-edge Essex, the first ship of the Essex class?

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by the sonic booms of the engines as they crossed the finish line almost at the same time, the two cars waved the black and white checkered flags in their hands, announcing the official end of the race.

However, Lin Lan and the four White Eagle Ship Girls in the stands could not tell who reached the finish line first.

Because at that moment, in the eyes of those in the stands, the two of them rushed into the finish line almost at the same time.

Fortunately, this kind of professional racing track has absolutely precise automatic sorting equipment and video playback.

Under the control of Gridley in the race control tower, the big screen began to play the slow motion of the two people sprinting to the finish line, and soon the winner's name was projected in the most conspicuous position:

Essex!

With the slow-motion playback on the big screen, Lin Lan and others finally saw clearly that at the last moment, the front of Essex's motorcycle reached the finish line one step ahead of Enterprise with a slight lead.

If the video was not slowed down from multiple angles, it would be impossible to distinguish this short distance advantage.

"Essex, sister, wins! Yay!"

“Essex, triumphs over enterprise.”

Not only did Anchorage happily stand up and wave his sleeves to applaud Essex, but the cute little girl Eldridge in Lin Lan's arms also shook her golden hair.

, once again narrating the final result of the game.

Compared to the two of them, Mori and Harman were already sitting in their seats stupidly, as if they couldn't believe the result.

After all, everyone in the port area knows that Essex wants to surpass the enterprise, but it seems that it has basically never come true over the years, no matter in which field.

Although Essex has been constantly improving itself and becoming stronger, it even tied with Enterprise during a port exercise.

But you have to know that while Essex becomes stronger, the business will not stand still.

No one thought that Essex would actually be able to defeat Enterprise one day, even if it was just a car race with only six spectators and two barbarians.

It was not until Lin Lan gently placed Eldridge on the ground and waved his hand in front of Mori and Harman that the two little girls who had suffered a brain crash finally came to their senses.

"This, this, this, this..."

The lovely Harman seemed to have a tongue-tied expression at this moment, his face flushed and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The company's little guard Mori was much better than Harman. She smiled sincerely and said to Lin Lan:

"Perhaps this is the result of hard work. To be able to beat Sister Enterprise in such an upright competition, Essex must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. It's really not easy!"

Lin Lan nodded in agreement.

Just now, he overtook the car on the inside lane at the last S-curve. Even a layman like him could see how thrilling it was.

Being able to control the speed and distance so accurately and overtake by almost turning at the edge of the inner lane definitely requires a lot of practice time even for the talented ship girls.

"Alright, we can't keep these two star drivers waiting any longer, let's get off quickly."

Lin Lan chuckled, gently rubbed Harman's dazed head, and led the way to the track under the stands.

Based on his understanding of Essex, he was afraid that this silly girl would not be able to accept this reality for a while.

Chapter 323 The Origin of Essex's Obsession (2900 words)

"I really...beat Enterprise-senpai?"

At this time, Essex was still standing there stupidly on the track. She took off her helmet and looked at her name in the championship column on the big screen. For a moment, she forgot to get off the car.

She had just used this move out of passion and she thought she had arrived at the same destination as her corporate predecessors.

But when she learned that she had actually defeated her corporate senior, even if it was only in the motorcycle competition, she still felt like she was dreaming.

"Congratulations, Essex. That was a beautiful move. Even I didn't expect you to overtake me with such a risky move."

At this time, Enterprise had also taken off his windshield helmet, supported the motorcycle on the ground, and walked up to Essex with a smile to congratulate him.

"Ah... Senior Enterprise, that was just luck, you must have let it slide..."

Seeing the dashing corporate senior with long silver hair standing in front of him to congratulate him, Essex's face instantly flushed, and he turned his eyes away and whispered.

"No, Essex, the company will definitely go all out and will not give up. This victory is the result of your hard work."

At this time, Lin Lan also brought Anchorage and others down from the stands and walked towards the track.

He happened to hear the conversation between Enterprise and Essex, and with a smile he said what Enterprise wanted to say, which made Enterprise smile knowingly.

As expected of the commander who knows everyone best, he said everything she wanted to say.

Seeing the commander coming, Essex's face flashed with panic and she jumped out of the car. She was not mentally prepared at all to win.

Moreover, she just saw the commander's expectant eyes, which was why she did not give up and used the overtaking method that she had practiced countless times.

She herself was not even 100% sure of success, but she decided to use it in a rush because she wanted to live up to the commander's expectations.

"commander……"

After hearing Lin Lan's affirmative words, Jiaozi with her light purple twin ponytails blushed like a ripe apple. If you didn't know, you would think she was the loser.

"Essex, sister, just now, so handsome!"

At this time, Anchorage threw himself into Essex's arms and hugged Essex tightly.

Mori also gave Essex a thumbs up and laughed:

"Don't be so modest now, Essex. Just enjoy your victory with dignity. Enterprise is happy for you from the bottom of her heart."

Essex looked at Enterprise, then at Lin Lan, and seeing that they both gave her congratulatory smiles, she blushed and nodded, then touched Anchorage's head.

"Well, Senior Enterprise... Although I won this time, but, but I still need to learn a lot from you. In the future, I will continue to take you as my role model!"

"I am always looking forward to your challenge Essex. It is the active juniors like you who will spur me to be even better."

Enterprise smiled and raised his fist to Essex. Seeing this, Essex took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to fist bump with Enterprise.

"Come and see

Come on, three, two..."

At this moment, Gridley's voice suddenly came, causing everyone to look over.

"...One, eggplant!"

"Crack!"

Along with the sound of the camera, the expressions and movements of everyone, including Lin Lan, who turned their heads to look, were captured by Gridley holding the camera, along with the champion's name on the big screen behind them.

"Guhehe~ Perfect angle, Commander. I'm not taking a sneak shot this time, am I?"

Gridley came skipping over and smiled happily at Lin Lan.

Regarding Gridley, whose quality has greatly improved compared to before, Lin Lan smiled and touched the cute little head of Gridley and praised him:

"Yes, your professionalism has improved significantly. You are finally not a sneak photographer or a reporter anymore."

Since Gridley's candid photos in the morning almost caused Essex to actually use the firing restriction release, the White Eagle reporter has learned his lesson.

She cannot take secret photos next to the commander, otherwise there is a high probability that she will end up like the small profiteer Akashi and cannot survive in the White Eagle camp.

After this little episode, Lin Lan boldly proposed to the company and Essex whether he could also experience the feeling of racing on a track.

Watching the two people's high-speed competition during the game just now also made him interested in it.

Although he didn't dare to drive it himself given his mediocre motorcycle skills, it should be fine with an experienced driver leading him.

"Well... Commander's request must naturally be fulfilled by the champion of this competition."

After hearing Lin Lan's request, Enterprise couldn't help but smile and looked at Essex and smiled.

"Ah? I, I'll take the commander?"

Essex never expected that his senior in the company would actually give him this opportunity. He was stunned for a moment and asked in a silly way.

Seeing that Jiaozi, who was always aloof, was almost out of ideas, Lin Lan smiled and joked:

"That's exactly what we should do. After all, it's more reliable for our junior champion Essex to guide me. So I'll have to trouble you then."

"Since it is the commander's request...Essex is very honored."

Essex looked at Lin Lan, who had a shy smile on her face, and suddenly felt a soreness in the corners of her eyes.

She couldn't remember how many years ago it was, but when she joined the port area, the first person she saw was this big boy with a shy smile.

Although she had seen this young commander in a mock exercise at that time, she didn't pay much attention to him when she actually joined the port.

Almost all of her energy was focused on catching up with the Enterprise. Even when she was ordered to attack by the commander, her ultimate goal was still to catch up with the Enterprise.

After all, she is the first ship of the Essex-class, a new type of aircraft carrier of the White Eagle camp. However, since her birth, she has been overshadowed by the glory of her predecessor, the White Eagle Ares Enterprise.

Whenever people talk about the White Eagle aircraft carriers of that period, the first thing that comes to mind is the legendary Pacific Queen Enterprise, not the Essex class that was born later.

This is Essex's greatest obsession, and also her lingering...knot.

She hopes to prove her Essex-class strength and surpass the enterprise with dignity.

But at the same time, I am also very sad about this person who is so shrouded in the aura of legend that he can't even think of

The jealous seniors were filled with sincere admiration.

As the commander named her as the secretary ship, in her daily work life, she gradually became familiar with this commander who liked to take advantage of everyone but they could never touch him.

At the same time, she was also very curious. She worked so hard to catch up with her seniors in the company, but why was this commander so dedicated and responsible at work every day?

Is it just for the sake of her hobby of treating all the sisters in the port area equally without any discrimination?

What a perverted old commander.

She held on to this thought until that day came.

In the aircraft carrier exercise held in the port area, she ended up in a tie with Enterprise, but she began to suspect that Enterprise had deliberately let her win in order to take care of her.

It was the commander who noticed her negative and conflicted mentality, and took her out to relax in time, and called Enterprise to explain to her the truth that there was no deliberate slacking in the exercise.

It was because of this incident that she discovered that this commander, who looked like an old pervert, actually took great care of everyone.

Until the day when the commander personally put the promise ring on her finger, Essex, who was immersed in sudden happiness, even thought that as long as she could stay with the commander, she would no longer need to prove anything.

It is enough for the two of them to support each other and keep going.

This naive expectation gradually changed as the commander's physical condition became worse and worse and she could do nothing.

Until that day, the commander disappeared from the port area...

After that, she was so devastated and desperate that she even locked herself in her dormitory and became autistic for several days.
