Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

After Lin Lan answered, he noticed the thoughtful expression on Ayanami's face and asked.

After getting the answer, the barefoot, silent ghost girl raised her hand and pointed to the cabinet full of comic books in the dormitory.

"Ayanami thinks that you, the Commander, have more room to play. The moves in the comics and anime can provide you with references in the future."

"Most importantly, it will make the commander look cool."

Looking at the full cabinet of comics, Lin Lan suddenly felt that Ayanami's suggestion seemed to make some sense.

Since he has a reality lens that can materialize anything, he can actually learn how to fight in the virtual world from the characters in comics and anime.

"You're right. It seems that I really need to take some lessons from you to expand my imagination."

Lin Lan nodded and smiled, and decided to come to Ayanami's place in his free time to watch anime and comics.

This is by no means slacking off, but rather a way to actually improve one's combat effectiveness in the virtual world, and there is nothing wrong with that.

After the movie was over, it was time for lunch.

Lin Lan didn't even need to look at the time, Xili's rumbling stomach had already reminded everyone that it was time for lunch.

There is also a separate cafeteria on the second floor of the mass-produced destroyer, so Lin Lan followed the four destroyer girls to the cafeteria on the second floor.

"It's the smell of barbecue! There's barbecue in the cafeteria today!"

Before everyone walked into the cafeteria, Yudachi had already smelled what the lunch was for today and cheered excitedly.

"Oh, I envy you for being happy as long as you have meat for every meal."

Shi Yu looked at his disappointing sister and sighed:

"Don't you feel that this meat tastes too ordinary compared to the monster meat in Liaozhou?"

"As long as the commander is around, even if the food in the cafeteria isn't meat, I'll still think it's delicious, hehehe~"

The dog-eared little girl shook her tail and answered without hesitation, as if she hadn't thought about it at all.

While Yuli was answering, Lin Lan also smelled the aroma of barbecue coming from the cafeteria.

After patting Yudachi's little head, he looked at Shigure and smiled:

"The monster meat in Liaozhou is indeed delicious. If conditions permit in the future, we can bring some monsters back to the port area to breed them. That way, we can eat monster meat every meal."

"Farming... That's right! We can breed monsters to eat in the future. Commander, you are a genius!"

When the black-haired little loli Shi Yu heard Lin Lan's casual suggestion, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had opened the door to a new world:

"If we can bring the monsters back to the port to breed them, then Lord Shigure will be able to prepare delicious monster meat for everyone every meal in the future!"

Looking at the happy Shi Yu, Lin Lan just smiled and didn't say much.

I'm afraid that the monsters in Liaozhou are just like the crops that lost their high-yield characteristics after being taken away from the Nine Islands of Liaozhou. Even after reproduction, they will not be as delicious as the original ones.

Of course, although this is the case in theory, Lin Lan feels that he has to give it a try when the time comes.

After all, monsters are extremely dangerous to ordinary people, and the people of Oran may not have had the opportunity to bring living monsters back to Oran for breeding experiments.

As he was thinking like this, Lin Lan and the others walked into the cafeteria.

The layout of the cafeteria on the second floor was similar to the cafeteria on the first floor that he had visited in the morning, except that small facilities for barbecue had been placed on the tatami tables.

In addition to the two barbarian chefs who were placing sliced ​​​​raw meat on the dining table, there were also two Sakura Empire ship girls kneeling on the tatami to eat in the cafeteria. When they saw Lin Lan and others coming in, they cast their glances at them.

But when Lin Lan saw the two Sakura Empire shipgirls smiling at him, he paused and blurted out:

"Shokaku and Zuikaku, why are you here?"

Chapter 566: The "Interception" of the Fifth Carrier Battle

That’s right, the two tall Sakura Empire ship girls who were having dinner on the tatami were none other than the aircraft carrier sisters from the Fifth Carrier Battle.

With long silver hair and a gentle smile on her face, she looks like a gentle older sister. She is the No. 1 ship of the Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, Guardian Feather Shokaku.

And her younger sister, Zuikaku, a lucky crane with a neat long brown ponytail and a cheerful and motivated personality.

The two sisters on the aircraft carrier were wearing pure white hooded kimonos with long crane-wing sleeves, and their scabbarded katana were still hanging around their waists.

Lin Lan did not see the two cranes from the Fifth Carrier Fighter in the morning, and thought that they would also go to help Musashi and others today, so he was so surprised.

"Hehe~ Commander, the other four children, come sit over here~"

After putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Xianghe gently smoothed his bangs, and his blue eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

She invited with a chuckle, and was not in a hurry to answer Lin Lan's question.

However, her sister, who had stood up to make room for him, had already stated the reason:

"I knew I would meet you here today, Commander. I specially dragged my sister here to have dinner after completing the reconnaissance mission. It seems that my intuition is still very accurate, hehe~"

Hearing Zuikaku's explanation in a happy tone, Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh that Zuikaku's prediction was really accurate.

After taking their seats with the four destroyers, Lin Lan was successfully invited by the Shuanghe sisters to sit between the two of them.

Watching Shokaku placing the dishes in front of him with a smile on his face, Lin Lan thought to himself that Akagi and Taihou must have been intercepted.

He quickly analyzed the reason why Shokaku and Zuikaku were not arranged by Musashi to help today.

Shokaku is indeed a perfect big sister with a gentle and even slightly naughty personality. Due to another game, many players also call her Mrs. Shokaku.

But even such a gentle and considerate Shokaku has an inexplicable obsession with Akagi, and often speaks in a sarcastic way to Akagi and the others.

It’s not that Shokaku has a bad personality. Lin Lan has read Shokaku’s history, and he can more or less understand why Shokaku is so prejudiced against Akagi and the others.

Due to the Battle of Coral Island, the injured Shokaku and Zuikaku were unable to participate in the Battle of Midway.

However, the predecessors of the First and Second Carriers, whom they regarded as idols, were all sunk by the three Yorktown sisters in the Battle of Midway, forcing her and her sister Zuikaku to become the new First Carriers and shoulder the heavy burden.

Having lost all his seniors at once, Shokaku must have felt stunned, bewildered and overwhelmed.

Because of this, Shokaku finally thought that her predecessors were not strong enough and "abandoned" her and Zuikaku, causing her to give all her tenderness to her younger sister Zuikaku.

This can be seen from the fact that Shokaku and Zuikaku are always the "victims" in many subsequent battles.

Even after becoming a ship girl, Shokaku still always confronts Akagi. She is one of the few people in the Sakura Empire who is not afraid of Akagi and even dares to provoke her.

Of course, after he and Shokaku Zuikaku made a vow, Shokaku's gentleness and consideration also included him.

If Musashi really arranged for the 5th Air Force to join Akagi and the others today, who knows how big a mess it would cause.

movement.

As Chef Manju brought portions of grilled meat to the table, Lin Lan soon discovered that when facing the sisters Shokaku and Zuikaku, Ayanami and Yukikaze were obviously not as reserved as they were when they met Akagi and the others, and were very relaxed.

Zuikaku even took the initiative to pour drinks into the cups of the four cute destroyer girls, while Yukikaze and Shigure happily discussed with Zuikaku the movie they had just watched.

Shokaku also put some vegetables into Yudachi's bowl and gently reminded the little dog not to eat only meat.

Originally, Lin Lan was a little worried that Xuefeng and the others would feel uncomfortable seeing Shokaku and Zuikaku here, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.

The Shuanghe sisters are like approachable big sisters next door and are very popular among the children of Sakura Empire.

"Commander, it's not like you to just stare at the barbecue. I remember that you always wolfed down your food, afraid that you would eat too slowly~"

Xianghe noticed that Lin Lan's bowl was empty, so he helped him pick up some delicious roasted meat slices and joked to him with a smile.

"You still remember this..."

After hearing the gentle silver-haired elder sister's joke, Lin Lan shrugged and smiled.

He picked up the piece of meat that Shokaku had picked up for him with chopsticks, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.

What Shokaku was talking about, of course, was the time when he was having a meal at the Blue Star construction site.

At that time, he was under too much work pressure, so he would wolf down his meals while playing games and doing his daily routine during the short breaks.

And he had set up Shokaku as his secretary ship, so he was not surprised that the other party still remembered how he looked when he was eating. But when he mentioned it now, it felt like a lifetime ago.

"Haha~ Shokaku of course remembers, I even remember that although the commander didn't like drinking at that time, he was always dragged by others to drink~"

"And every time you get drunk, Commander, you like to talk nonsense and do some unexpected things. For example, wasn't August, the witch of Iron Blood, killed by you when she was drunk..."

At this moment, Shokaku was like an older sister who had known him for a long time. She picked up the freshly grilled meat for him and teased him by telling him interesting stories from the past with a smile.

Not only that, Xianghe also did not forget to invite Xuefeng and the others to chat about interesting things about him, which allowed Lin Lan to quickly integrate into the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table.

In this warm and joyful dining atmosphere, the topic of conversation gradually shifted to the time spent on the artificial island.

Ruihe held a skewer of roasted brown sea fish in his right hand and said to Lin Lan with some depression:

"Hey, Commander, you don't know. I originally thought that after mastering some new powers and skills in Liaozhou, I thought I could defeat the 'Gray Ghost', but I didn't expect her strength to become much stronger. I failed in the challenge again yesterday afternoon."

After saying that, Zuikaku took a bite of the grilled fish, as if venting his frustration on the food.

Lin Lan smiled and filled Ruihe's cup with fruit juice as a sign of comfort.

The gray ghost mentioned by this enterprising and capable big sister refers to Enterprise. It seems that Zuikaku lost the duel between Enterprise again yesterday.

Zuikaku is different from her sister Shokaku in that her obsession is more focused on her "enemies" Enterprise and Lexington.

Of course, for Zuikaku, who became a ship girl, this "enemy" was actually just an opponent who simply wanted to decide the outcome of a battle, and there was no deep hatred between them.

But to be honest, Lin Lan was a little surprised that even after Ruihe had learned and mastered new elemental powers in Liaozhou, he still failed to defeat Enterprise.

It seems that the companies are not standing still, but are getting stronger.

Zuikaku still has a long way to go to meet these challenges.

After seeing Lin Lan filling up his cup, Ruihe quickly regained his fighting smile and said to Lin Lan confidently:

"Thank you, Commander. Don't worry, I won't give up easily. Next time I challenge the Gray Phantom, I will definitely call you along to see for yourself how I defeat her."

Seeing the motivated Zuikaku, Lin Lan was about to agree and encourage him, but Xuefeng interrupted with excitement, shaking his little ears:

"Sama Yukikaze will come to see us then! Sama Yukikaze will share his luck with Sister Zuikaku!"

"Oh! Thank you, Xiao Xuefeng. With your luck and my luck, and the commander's observation, I will definitely defeat the mere Gray Ghost!"

Zuikaku immediately nodded and agreed to Xuefeng's request, but Lin Lan covered his mouth when he saw this funny scene, trying to hold back his laughter.

Although it may sound a bit unfair to say this, he always feels that Zuikaku's chances of winning the next time it challenges Enterprise are probably not optimistic.

Chapter 567 Abyssal Sea, Fortress Sea

Zuikaku's depression came and went quickly.

For her, challenging a company seems to be just a trivial matter.

Of course, Zuikaku didn't just challenge Enterprise. This Endeavoring Crane finally met the White Eagle ship girls, and also had a private sparring session with Bumblebee and Jiaozi.

The result of the battle was not beyond Lin Lan's expectations. It was basically a draw. The only team that Zuikaku had not defeated was Enterprise.

"It seems that Enterprise is exhausted. In the White Eagle camp, there are Essex and other juniors who regard her as a target to catch up with. In the Sakura Empire, there is also Zuikaku who is chasing after her."

Lin Lan thought to himself, but he believed that the company would definitely be happy to see this kind of healthy competition, and the company would not easily lose to these competitors.

After all, having high skills is no joke.

After talking about her challenge on the artificial island, Zuikaku also asked Lin Lan how long it would take for Lexington to make her debut again.

Lin Lan was somewhat surprised to find out that this aircraft carrier girl of the Sakura Empire was also a fan of Lexington.

However, he never asked Mrs. Lie how long it would take for her to make her debut again. Since Mrs. Lie had already decided to retire, he couldn't possibly ask her directly whether she planned to make her debut again.

Of course, as long as he wants to watch Mrs. Lie's performance, she will always give him a solo live show.

Listening to the sizzling sound of the meat being grilled in the grill on the dining table, Lin Lan took this opportunity to ask Shokaku and Zuikaku about how the Sakura Empire fleet arrived in Huanyang City.

He has been very curious about this question for some time. The timing when the Sakura Empire fleet joined the battlefield was really coincidental.

Although Musashi had briefly mentioned to him that their arrival was due to Amagi's physical condition, she did not tell him in detail what happened on their way to Oran.

It just so happened that Xianghe Ruihe, as the main ship of the heavy cherry blossoms in the Fifth Air Battle, can use this skill to explain to him in detail.

"Haha~ So those useless seniors didn't report the battle to the commander..."

After hearing Lin Lan's question, a hint of contempt appeared on Xianghe's gentle smile.

But this gentle elder sister quickly put away her disdain after a soft laugh, and said to Lin Lan in detail:

"Not long after we set out from the temporary port area in Liaozhou, we were intercepted by the Siren Fleet."

"But the first Sirens we encountered were all old Type I. We didn't take them seriously at first and let the destroyer boys deal with them."

"But as we got further and further away from the Nine Islands of Liaozhou, the strength of the Siren Fleet gradually increased, and gradually they all turned into Type III mass-produced fleets and executors."
