I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

In fact, no one was laughing at Lafite at all. It was just Lafite who was overthinking.

If an adult acts silly and makes something funny, people might really point fingers at him.

But Rafi is a child, a super cute little loli, and she can be forgiven as long as she doesn't do anything unforgivable.

I just made a few second-year remarks and played a role-playing game with another second-year loli. It's certainly not a heinous crime.

Guanghui was actually thinking about something else.

[Little Rafi, you really have the talent to become a commander. 】

If you don't think about anything complicated, then the game between Lafite and Z36 is just pure fun.

However, once you put yourself in the commander's shoes, it's the simplest way to salvage the ship - by catering to the interests and hobbies of the ship girls, thereby improving their favorability.

For example, Lafite's series of actions just now made Z36's favorability towards her increase by at least 36 percentage points. Combined with the basic points and impression points, there is a possibility that Lafite will succeed if she directly invites Z to become her own ship girl.

Catering to the interests of the ship girls is easier said than done. Being too deliberate will arouse the ship girls' vigilance.

The plain communication without any purpose and the character revealed inadvertently are what attract the attention of the ship girl the most.

[Just now, Little Lafite wanted to protect Z36, right? ]

Guanghui recalled the aura that the Purifier had released just now, and even she felt the oppression.

You know, she is a legendary ship girl. The only ones who can make her feel threatened are ship girls of the same level or with a higher level of training.

Is the Purifier's training level higher than hers?

The Glory has never underestimated the Purifiers, even when they attacked the Siren Combined Fleet, the Purifiers relied on a sneak attack to sink the opponent's flagship.

Because even for a submarine ship girl, it is not so easy to penetrate the defense of a Siren battleship girl.

Therefore, Guanghui had tried her best to raise the estimate of the Purifier's strength, but now it seems that the level she estimated was still a bit low.

A legendary submarine shipgirl? When was she born? For a shipgirl as famous as this, there shouldn't be any news about her.

Then there is Lafite, who looks like just a child, but has a maturity and stability that is different from that of a child.

Sometimes Guanghui even thought that there was another person's soul hidden in Rafi's small body.

However, the interaction between Lafite and Z36 just now dispelled Guanghui's doubts. It turned out that Lafite didn't dislike playing with friends of the same age, but he had not met friends with whom he had common topics.

With this thought in mind, Guanghui's gaze towards Lafite became a little gentler.

Aurora is the only one in her shop, serving as the proprietress, cashier and chef.

Although she thought about whether it would be a better idea to hire one or two waiters, she finally gave up the idea.

It's simply because I think it's too much trouble. There aren't actually so many customers on normal days. It just happened that the Glorious Fleet was returning, so it seemed that there were more ship girls coming to eat hot pot.

Normally, for a small shop with a dozen tables, it would be good if two or three tables could seat people. But now, it is almost full.

Aurora doesn't hate such a busy life. After all, she opened the store out of interest. When she wants to take a break, she can just post a notice at the door and close the store to take a holiday.

This was probably one of the few pleasures she had after retiring from the front line.

Pots of hot pot soup base were delivered to the tables of the ship girls. Most of them were clear soups without chili peppers, a few were slightly spicy double-flavored hot pots, and the last one was the super spicy one.

Seeing Aurora smiling as she handed a bowl of soup made entirely of chili peppers to Osborn, a group of ship girls silently mourned for Osborn's stomach.

The stomach of a ship girl that can digest even oil certainly cannot lose to mere chili oil, but the pain caused by the digestion process will not be reduced in the slightest.

Before the meal started, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting in the corner, finally asked the question she wanted to ask.

"I want to ask about accepting commissions..."

Who could have more experience than the highly trained Freedom Ship Girls to take on commissions? Plus, with her spider-web-like complex network of relationships, they would definitely be able to provide her with a lot of advice.

As the only commander in the shop besides Laffey, after hearing Su Xiaoxiao's question, many ship girls started talking about it.

Speaking of commissions, of course, the more skilled the ship girls are, the more popular they are, especially the elite ship girls above level 70. Most of them have cooperative relationships with large multinational transportation companies. They only need to carry out an escort mission when needed, and they can earn several times more than ordinary ship girls.

The rest of the commissioning process for ship girls and commanders has been mentioned before, so I won’t go into details.

What the ship girls can do is to introduce the ship merchants they know to Su Xiaoxiao and expand Su Xiaoxiao's network of contacts.

Ship girl

They don't mind doing their part in such small matters. In the end, whether the commission can be negotiated depends on Su Xiaoxiao's own efforts.

"Battleship girls with commanders are not as competitive as free ship girls, so why not let Littorio disguise himself as a free ship girl and then take on commissions?"

Start adding vegetables to the hot pot soup base, Rafi said lazily.

As long as the commander buys his own round-trip ticket, the ship girl and the commander will work together and have a wonderful internship experience.

All you have to pay is an extra boat ticket.

Of course, this is not conducive to the growth of the commander. A commander who cannot bargain with ship merchants is unqualified and cannot live happily with his ship girls.

However, Su Xiaoxiao is European, so it is a sure thing for her to get a second ship girl and be assigned a port area after graduation. She does not need to learn any negotiation skills at all.

As long as you have a port area, are you still worried about not having any commissions in the future?

Laffite's unique idea calmed the atmosphere. It was indeed a good way to improve differential treatment. Some ship girls could even draw inferences from it and think of other possibilities.

Do the ship girls have commanders? Isn't it all up to them to speak?

Seeing the ship girls chattering and talking, Guanghui looked at Laffy and smiled gently.

When she goes back this time, should she ask Senior Yasuo to push forward the real-name registration of ship girls as soon as possible, so as to distinguish between free ship girls and port area ship girls?

As the number of ship girls increases, management becomes more and more troublesome. How to standardize and normalize the existence of ship girls and integrate them into daily life has always been a topic of discussion among senior executives.

If one day all the Sirens were destroyed, where would the Ship Girls go?

I touched Lafite's head and thought that it might be a bit worrying now, but who can predict the future?

......

Chapter 13: It's you, the Purifier!

Shancheng hotpot, also known as tripe hotpot or spicy hotpot, is a traditional eating method in Donghuang.

I won't go into the origin here, the traditional soup is made with spicy bean paste, fermented black beans, butter and peppercorns as ingredients. Even a Royal Navy ship girl who knows nothing about Donghuang cuisine can make a pot of good soup base that is barely usable with a recipe book specially tailored for her, accurate to the gram.

As a royal ship girl with half Donghuang blood, Aurora's cooking skills would naturally not be so inhumane, otherwise the hot pot restaurant she opened would have closed down long ago.

It turns out that Aurora's hot pot is very popular among the ship girls. The Royal Navy ship girls are not so clumsy that they can put two pieces of meat in and boil them half-cooked...

"Glorious, no, you can't eat it yet!"

As soon as Lafei opened his mouth, Guangrong carefully took the piece of fish that had just been taken out of the pot and still had a strong fishy smell and put it in his mouth.

"Sister Rafi, what's wrong?"

While eating the half-cooked fish, Guangrong turned his head with a strange look on his face.

"Little Rafi wants to remind you that fish juice splashed into your mouth."

The gentle shipgirl, Mrs. Glory, said with a chuckle, causing Glory to exclaim, "Ah, sorry, I'll wipe it off right away!"

As a royal ship girl, you must behave properly when eating, even when eating hot pot in a hot pot restaurant.

Like glory and reputation, facing the soup base covered with a thick layer of oil, the impression given is still that of noble and elegant ladies, as if they are not eating ordinary hot pot, but Western food in a high-end hotel.

Even when she was carrying the plates and pouring the vegetables and meat into the boiling water, she was so elegant.

The hot pot is served in the form of a buffet. Although the ship girls are big eaters, they usually don’t eat much, because replenishing oil resources is the only way for them to recover their strength after using their ship equipment to fight.

They usually just eat a little more than ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about the emergence of a ship girl who single-handedly eats up an entire restaurant - although some buffet restaurants still stubbornly put up signs at the door that refuse ship girls entry, please believe that this is definitely not discrimination.

The tables in Aurora's store are all wooden tables with heavy historical rings. They are divided into round tables and square tables. The round tables can accommodate ten ship girls at a time, while the square tables can only accommodate four to six ship girls.

Most of the ship girls in the Glorious Fleet sat at round tables. After all, not all of them were here, so the two large tables were more than enough to seat everyone.

However, there was also a small figure sitting alone on a square table. Aurora sat opposite the little girl, looking at her expectantly.

"Osborne, come and try it. This is the soup base I carefully prepared for you. You will definitely want to eat it a second time after you have tried it once."

The little loli with a yellow ponytail, on the table in front of Osborne, there is an iron pot the size of a washbasin. The iron pot is filled with so many red peppers that you can hardly see the liquid underneath.

The little girl was about to cry. Even as a righteous partner, there was no way to defeat such a hell.

Devil, this blonde ship girl in cheongsam in front of me must be a devil!

Mustering up his courage, Osborne convinced himself that the mountain of pepper was just the surface, and after putting the meat and seafood into the pot, there would definitely not be much left when they were scooped out.

Throwing the thin mutton into the pot, Osborne ignored Aurora's smiling eyes and watched the mountain of peppers that calmed down for a few seconds and then began to roll again. He closed his eyes and silently

Count silently.

One, two, three...fifty-nine, sixty, and then pick up the curled-up, cooked, steaming mutton, and wrap it with a layer of deep red chili oil.

Under the light, Osborne seemed to be able to see the lamb rolls glowing.

It's a dish that glows!

"Hehe, isn't it amazing? It took me a long time to research this. It can perfectly penetrate the spicy flavor of the soup base into the food, and there will be absolutely no lack of taste." Aurora said confidently, patting her chest.

In Osborn's eyes, two devil horns grew on the blonde ship girl's head, like a ghost that wanted to take people to hell.

No, how could this be possible? If she swallowed this thing, she would definitely die!

Osborne struggled in her heart. Although she looked young, she was very smart. Even if she was just angry, there was no need to exchange her own life for it.

"You still can't eat?"

Just as Osborn was about to say no, a look of dejection appeared on Aurora's face.

"Actually, I know I don't have much talent. As a ship girl of the Royal Family, how can I possibly cook a good meal? Making a pot of soup base according to a recipe is already the limit. If I want to research new dishes on my own, I will only make myself a laughing stock."

Aurora sighed: "So, even if you don't want to eat, Osborn, I won't be sad."

The devil's horns on Aurora disappeared, and now what appeared behind Aurora was a halo like an angel.

[If I refuse now, Sister Aurora will definitely be very sad. As a righteous partner, how can I let my companions be sad and disappointed? ]

All of a sudden, Osborne's heart became firm again.

Looking at the mutton roll in his hand with juice still dripping into the bowl, Osborne closed his eyes and put the mutton roll into his mouth with trembling hands.

"Ah woo~"

......

"What should I do? Is Sister Osborne really going to eat the hot pot made by Sister Aurora?"

"No, even if Osborn considers himself a righteous fool, he wouldn't be so stupid."

"That's hard to say, because Sister Osborne is the kind of person who finds it troublesome once she thinks about it."

"..."

At another table, Osborn's sisters looked over quietly. They could play and joke around, but they couldn't just watch their sister die. That was a hellish dish that would make even the powerful battleship girl cry.

Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting at the same table with Guanghui and the others, happened to see this scene. Now, it was time for their commander to appear.

As long as she rescues Osborn at this critical moment, she will definitely win the favor of the little girl. Maybe she can even get her address and contact information. Then she will have various reasons to visit her in the future, and salvaging the boat will be a natural thing.

However, if you want to save Osborn, you must first face the legendary ship girl Aurora.

Her warm eyes swept across the entire room, looking at everyone tenderly. The pressure of the legendary ship girl spread to everyone's heart.

That look seemed to be saying: Whoever dares to talk nonsense, then drink up this whole pot of soup on behalf of Osborne!

As a ship girl, she would be fine even if she swallowed poison. The spiciness of the pepper would at most affect her taste organs and would not cause any substantial harm to her.

As the saying goes, it is better to let my friend die than to let myself die. After hesitating for a second, the group of ship girls decisively gave up on saving the little beaver that was about to drown.

The more this happened, the more determined Su Xiaoxiao became.

As a southerner who doesn't eat spicy food, if she swallowed that piece of mutton roll in one bite, she might really have to lie in bed for a few days.

But in the balance between life and Lolita, Su Xiaoxiao resolutely chose Lolita.

However, before she could stand up, a small figure crawled to Osborne's side, leaned against Osborne, face to face, and swallowed the mutton roll in one bite.

"Ah woo~"

The spicy taste that even the ship girls could not bear stimulated the girl's taste buds. She swallowed the mutton roll in one bite. Rafi chewed it twice and swallowed it.

"not bad."

Rafi nodded, and because of the stimulation of the chili, a faint blush appeared on his expressionless face.

"Whether a hero or a brave man, everyone has things they are not good at, which is why they have partners. Osborn just needs to stick to the justice in his heart and not force himself."
