Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"Mr. Yang, what are you doing?"

"We need to buy some daily necessities, so we'll leave that to the maids. It would be too much of a hassle if everyone went to the port, so we've agreed to split up. This shouldn't cause any trouble for you, right?"

"of course not."

Avatar smiled.

"Mr. Yang, since you want to go to the port, why don't I lead you there?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Shentong."

It was expected that the magical power would accompany him, but after arriving at the port, Yang Sikang was still a little surprised by the deserted appearance of the place.

Due to the antagonistic relationship between the Red Axis and Azur Lane, there has been a reduction in large-scale official trade exchanges between the two sides, which is something he could have imagined.

But for ordinary people, especially those businessmen of a certain size, this is the time when they are making a fortune, so the trade exchanges should not decrease too much.

Because of its land, Sakura Empire has to rely on imports for many of its resources.

As for the current world situation, sea transportation is more dangerous due to the existence of Sirens.

Although most civilian companies also have their own escort fleets, they are still far behind those of the Ship Girls.

Therefore, especially for ports that are completely controlled by the ship girls, there should be a lot of trade.

But it is clear that this port has been idle for quite some time, as can be seen from the level of preparation of personnel and equipment around the port.

“Has this port been left unused?”

Yang Sikang asked curiously, there are few ports in Sakura Empire, but the demand for materials is high, so it should not be idle, but it is not certain. After all, although the number of ports on the main island is limited, Sakura Empire still has many peripheral ports.

"Because of the recent frequent harassment by unknown ship girls, this port can no longer be used normally, so it can only be idle."

Yang Sikang was a little surprised by Shentong's frankness, but after thinking about it, he understood why Shentong was suddenly so frank.

Without dwelling on this issue, Yang Sikang continued with Shen Tong's words and asked:

"Is the situation of the unidentified ship girl similar to that of Donghuang?"

"It's probably similar, but who knows exactly."

Yang Sikang smiled and shook his head:

"Whether other people know the details of this matter cannot be confused with whether you know the details of this matter."

Shentong's expression did not change, he smiled slightly:

"But sometimes not all information is exchanged, right?"

"Oh, who knows?"

Yang Sikang did not continue to dwell on this issue, but instead turned his attention to the sea outside the port.

He didn't pay much attention because the distance was too far before, but now it seems that there are ship girls moving around on the sea.

However, it looks like some ship girls are just playing around and there doesn't seem to be any special activities.

"Ah, Commander! That meat-loving kid is over there too!"

"Ok?"

"A kid who loves to eat meat?"

Javelin's words caused reactions from both Yang Sikang and Shentong. The former was a little surprised, while the latter's heart skipped a beat.

She really wanted to stop Yang Sikang from going over, but doing so now would be too obvious.

"Really? So are you guys going to go play with your friends with the javelin? We'll probably just walk around for a bit and then I'll call you when we're ready to go somewhere else, how about that?"

"Commander, aren't you going with us?"

"No."

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"No, let's wait for the next chance to invite him over to play."

"Ok!"

Javelin didn't think much about it, turned around and asked Newcastle for some things, and then went over with Janus.

Before leaving, Jarvis turned around and looked at Yang Sikang, who nodded, and Jarvis followed him.

Fantu also wanted to go, so Yang Sikang simply let Fantu and Wichita go together.

Although Wichita seems carefree, her personality makes her easy to get along with those kids.

"In this case, Shentong, you should feel more at ease, right?"

Yang Sikang said with a smile, but before Shentong could answer, he said:

"Since the port is idle, let's go somewhere else. Thank you for leading the way."

While Yang Sikang and others were strolling around the port area with Shentong, several maids were purchasing goods on the street on the other side.

Their appearance attracted a lot of attention, but they were already accustomed to the attention of onlookers, so no one took it seriously.

The purchasing team was led by Belfast, and its members included Hermione, Sheffield, London and Helena.

Ultimately, Shentong knew too little about Yang Sikang's usual style. If she knew a little more, she would have noticed a problem - Sheffield was rarely assigned to the purchasing team.

Chapter 252: The Resentful Helper

"Although it's within the port area, the atmosphere here isn't very good."

Belfast said with emotion as he looked at the busy crowd on the street.

The land utilization rate in Sakura City is very high, but within the port area, people still pay more attention to the environment.

The buildings are dense but not crowded. Due to various reasons, there are few very high-rise buildings. However, in some places you can still see some buildings 'stuffed' into the cracks.

The people walking on the street were all dressed neatly and carefully, but their styles seemed to be carved from the same mold; even the tired expressions on their faces were not much different.

"And it's rare to see children."

Hermione added softly.

"Probably because this is Minato City."

Sheffield took over:

"The relationship between the commander and the ship girls in the Sakura Empire is completely different from that in the White Eagles and the Royal Navy. The pressure on the commander candidates here is very great."

"But this is their situation, and no one else is to blame. Haha, well, we shouldn't talk about this on the street."

Belfast smiled and stopped the discussion of several people, then took out the note he had written before departure and handed it to several people.

"Sheffield, this is your share."

"clear."

Because they had confirmed in advance through the map that the surrounding area was full of supermarkets and commercial streets, Belfast and others acted separately here.

But what no one knew was that after leaving the team and entering a store, Sheffield did not buy anything, but tore a small piece of paper from the "list" given to her by Belfast and put it on the counter.

The teller, who was yawning all the time, suddenly changed his expression after seeing the note.

She picked up the note carefully, checked it carefully, smiled, opened the staff passage next to her, and invited Sheffield in directly.

Arriving at the back room, the boss quickly prepared a table and chairs for Sheffield after reading the note, and then quickly took out a computer that had already been assembled and connected it to the network on site.

After a few minutes, the communication interface on the computer screen finally responded.

"Huh... Contacting him at this time. I knew it wasn't a good idea to travel halfway around the world to help him."

On the other end of the line, a blonde woman with a hot body was yawning and complaining.

She rubbed her eyes and scratched her hair randomly, completely ignoring the fact that one side of her thin pajamas had drooped down and could not cover her body at all, and waved sleepily at Sheffield.

"Hello Sheffield, this is Mavis, a poor doctor who has to get up to help you even if she has to work until midnight and finally rest."

Regarding Mavis's dissatisfaction and complaints that almost spilled out of the screen, Sheffield directly chose to ignore them completely and went straight to the topic:

"Miss Mavis, I need your help to confirm this information."

While waiting for Mavis to answer the call, Sheffield had already organized everything that needed to be investigated into a table.

Seeing the document sent over, Mavis sighed while looking at the things on it.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the file was sent back.

“This is all the information I can give you at the moment, and more specific details will take some time to investigate.

In addition, you want to know the list of the main ship girls of the Sakura Empire that sank or failed to build over the years. I have to ask my family about this, which will take a little longer.

The day after tomorrow, I will come to this place to get the results. "

"Ok, I see."

Mavis didn't say much. She was obviously sleep-deprived and didn't even bother to ask about the current situation here, so she simply cut off the communication.

Sheffield returned to the store and the clerk had already packed some items and was waiting for her to take them away.

But after leaving the store, Sheffield still did not go shopping normally, but... disappeared.

The Sakura Empire was naturally on guard against these ship girls.

In order to prevent being discovered by radar and the like, the Sakura Empire chose to have ordinary people do the surveillance.

Human surveillance and monitoring should be foolproof.

But Sheffield just disappears with ease.

A few minutes later, she walked out of another store, but before the people who were following her could arrange their forces, she disappeared again.

After repeating this several times, Sheffield seemed to have really disappeared.

It was not until an hour later, when Belfast and others reunited at the separated intersection, that the person who was supposed to be responsible for following Sheffield was notified that Sheffield was also there.

Regarding this accident, the stalkers dared not neglect and had to report it immediately.

The news quickly and naturally reached Shentong, who was at that time explaining the hot spring culture of Sakura Empire to Yang Sikang.

Sheffield's one-hour disappearance puzzled her, but it wasn't a very long time.

There was nothing worth noting in that area for Sheffield to visit for an hour, and she also knew Sheffield, the ship girl.

Therefore, Shentong did not pay too much attention to this matter and just took note of it silently.

As for Yang Sikang, when his magical power paused slightly, he turned his head to look at Newcastle. The latter nodded slightly, and he turned back calmly.

The interaction between the two was extremely short, and Shentong, who was distracted at the time, didn't even notice this little movement.

There are many hot springs in Sakura Empire, and many of them have been developed and utilized.

Even in the port area, wherever there is a hot spring, even if it is a small one, it will be utilized.

The hot spring culture that Shentong explained to Yang Sikang was naturally not just the small hot spring in front of him, but Yang Sikang suddenly asked as he listened:

"Avatar, do you like hot springs too?"

"Ok?"

Shen Tong was already a little distracted, and when Yang Sikang asked her this question out of the blue, she was stunned.

"For us, hot spring bathing may be considered a daily activity. If I have to say, I probably like it too."

"Is that so?"

Yang Sikang suddenly laughed:

"So, if the First and Fifth Carriers met in the hot springs and you happened to be there, what would you do?"

"Wha, what?!"

Shentong's voice was a little out of tune for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"Mr. Yang, what do you mean by that? Whether it's the First or Fifth Carrier, we're all companions. It's not unusual to meet in a hot spring, right?"

"is it?"

Yang Sikang raised his eyebrows and pointed behind the magic power:

"Then it should be okay for me to go say hello to Zuikaku, right?"
