Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"What? What kind of stupid stuff are you talking about?"

Chicheng frowned and looked at Yang Sikang. It was rare for him to take out his Rubik's Cube, but this guy actually refused!

Although she knew that this guy could most likely build her directly, but now that the Rubik's Cube had been taken out, she decided to give it away, at least to save face.

But he actually refused!

Refused!

Yang Sikang looked at Chicheng and smiled without saying anything.

Don’t think that there is nothing wrong with Akagi just because he looks normal in every aspect and there is nothing wrong with him.

This is because the Akagi in front of him is the head of the Imperial Sakura Empire and has no commander. Secondly, the Imperial Sakura Empire is not facing a crisis and is not fully prepared.

And the current Akagi is different from the Akagi in the game plot. At this stage, the contact between the Sakura Empire and the Sirens has not reached such a deep level, so Akagi has not become as extreme as in the game plot and the animation.

The current situation and the fact that the most important thing in her heart is the Sakura Empire make Akagi look very "ordinary".

But if it was Akagi that was built by oneself, it would be different.

If I were to describe it simply in one sentence, probably the most appropriate one would be a line from Akagi in the anime: Akagi's love will still be strong even if it burns all over the world.

Although Yang Sikang didn't mind, and he treated Dafeng in the same way, if possible, he hoped to change Chicheng, but...

The expression of Akagi from the original family must be very interesting when he sees the newly built Akagi.

I don’t know if Akagi recalled something that happened long ago. Her expression changed quickly several times, and then she silently put the Rubik’s Cube back.

"Since you refuse, then you can find a way to build it yourself."

After saying that, Akagi gave Taiho a playful look, ignored Taiho's provocation and walked away.

Yang Sikang and his team are planning to return to the port area, and Akagi and Kaga will naturally go back as well, but before that she has to arrange the people responsible for sampling and data collection.

As for the magical powers, she could only stay here and work overtime unfortunately.

There is no other way, because she is the most suitable one among the ship girls here. Akagi Kaga will not let Yang Sikang go back to the port area and stay here by themselves, so they can only let Shentong do this.

The return voyage was smooth sailing. As it was late at night, Yang Sikang was enjoying the view of the night sky with great interest.

The main part of the port area of ​​​​Eisaki has been completely modernized. If you want to see those traditional Eisaki-style buildings, you have to go to another area. This makes Yang Sikang feel a little regretful.

The only problem is that Taihou seemed very restless during the return journey, perhaps because of Akagi's stimulation.

Yang Sikang didn't let Da Qinghuayu tease her, but he couldn't resist being pestered by Da Feng. He had no choice but to send the maids to take Da Feng into the cabin.

Kaga's condition is much better than before, but he still tends to get distracted from time to time.

Yang Sikang could only express helplessness about this. After all, the topic of Amagi was still too sensitive in Sakura Empire.

The next morning, when Yang Sikang woke up, it was Hermione who entered the room again. From her, Yang Sikang learned that Belfast had not returned yet. However, because they received a call from Belfast when they returned to the house the night before, no one was worried now.

Belfast finally returned after Yang Sikang finished washing up and having breakfast.

"I'm very sorry, Master, for taking some time beyond the plan."

"It doesn't matter. Did something unexpected happen on your side? Why is Prince Eugen so cooperative?"

"Yes."

Belfast nodded, his expression becoming serious:

"Master, when I saw Miss Princess Eugen yesterday, she seemed injured, with some marks of being attacked on her body."

"injured?"

Yang Sikang raised his eyebrows and began to think.

The Iron Blood Fleet was very well behaved on the side of the Sakura Empire, and Prince Eugen had never caused any trouble before his incident.

As for Prince Eugen being attacked, this is almost impossible to happen in Sakura Empire.

To put it another way, even if Prince Eugen was attacked, it would be almost impossible for her to be hurt by ordinary attacks.

In terms of armor, Prinz Eugen is a genuine heavy cruiser, and its armor strength is needless to say.

In terms of scheming, although Prince Eugen seems to be erratic and casual, she is actually very meticulous. It would be difficult for anyone to attack her by surprise.

In terms of strength, Prince Eugen's strength is obvious to all, especially in defense.

"Do you know where she went?"

"I only know that I took a small cruise ship without any weapons to the high seas, but I don't know my exact whereabouts. The Iron Blood Fleet has strong signal shielding equipment, and my radar and communication systems were almost paralyzed on their side."

"Well, this reminds me that we are still using the White Eagle's standard equipment, which is still far behind the Sangvis Iron Blood's equipment in terms of anti-interference and anti-shielding."

"Also, I found that among the shipgirls from the Iron Blood this time, only Prince Eugen showed up outside. The others were all hidden very well, and I couldn't collect any information at all."

"Oh?"

Yang Sikang became interested.

"The Sakura Empire's shipgirls hid to prevent us from collecting information, but why did the Iron Bloods do it? It's not normal for them to hide when they were brought by Prince Eugen to do this kind of diplomatic affairs."

"Yes, it is impossible to hide the information of diplomats. This is also the main reason why everyone basically has a few fixed ship girls as diplomats."

Belfast said with a smile, Yang Sikang nodded and laughed:

"Unless they need to divert the attention of outsiders and let everyone pay attention to the ship girl they are hiding instead of something else in the fleet."

Belfast nodded in agreement, and added:

"But if they knew in advance that you would send me, then they might have done the opposite on purpose."

"That would also prove that they are hiding something."

"It's a pity that although Miss Princess Eugen invited me to stay in the fleet for one night, I didn't have a chance to explore it."

Belfast sighed with some regret. Yang Sikang heard this and shook his head and said:

"There was no chance to investigate since Prince Eugen returned to the fleet. She must have made some preparations since she dared to invite you to stay. Maybe she was waiting for you to investigate. It was right to do nothing. Although we didn't get relevant information, at least we didn't suffer any loss."

Yang Sikang looked at Belfast and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm dragging you to talk about this right after you got back."

"I didn't go on the expedition last night, so I had a good rest. You don't have to worry about me."

"Having said that, you should go and take a rest first, and say hello to the others. Everyone is still worried about you."

"Yes."

Chapter 303 Inviting Dafeng

On the afternoon of the day Belfast returned, the Iron Blood fleet quickly packed up and left Sakura Empire with great efficiency, and was escorted to the high seas by Sakura Empire's fleet.

After confirming that Prince Eugen and the others had returned, Akagi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

An unstable factor has been resolved, and Yang Sikang has now achieved his goal and basically got what he wanted. Chicheng can now finally focus all his energy on dealing with other troubles.

Therefore, Yang Sikang will obviously have some free time.

After returning from Belfast, Yang Sikang secretly discussed something with Belfast and decided to execute it directly the next day.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Yang Sikang got himself ready with the help of Sheffield, and then went to the kitchen downstairs.

Although it was still relatively early, a faint aroma was already wafting from the kitchen.

When Yang Sikang arrived at the kitchen, as expected, the stable foursome of Belfast, Javelin, Helena and Dafeng was there.

Normally, the maids are the ones who prepare breakfast most of the time at this time, but after Taiho joined the fleet, she seemed to be very interested in making meals, and would often ask the maids for advice on how to cook various cookies and meals.

In this process, Helena and Javelin also joined in unknowingly.

Of course, seven o'clock is the time when some ship girls have already started to move around. For example, Wichita and Dreadnought often move around on the sea at this time.

Normally, Yang Sikang would come down about ten minutes later than now, so his appearance here at this time today obviously surprised several people outside Belfast.

"Commander, why did you come down early today? Look, Commander, Miss Dafeng is so skilled at making rice balls!"

"Lord Commander~"

Javelin said this and turned to look for Dafeng, but Dafeng had already quickly come to Yang Sikang holding the rice ball she had just made.

"Da Feng just made some rice balls. Would you like to try them?"

Yang Sikang took the rice ball with a smile and took a bite.

Dafeng is indeed very good at making food. The seaweed on the outside is very crispy and the rice is steamed just right.

The taste of the vinegar rice is also very suitable. The filling inside seems to be the more traditional grilled salmon meat, but some subtle changes have been made to the seasoning, which complements the vinegar rice that has also been prepared.

Probably considering the convenience for other people in the fleet to eat, the whole rice ball is relatively small, but this also allows one person to taste more flavors.

“Great rice balls.”

Yang Sikang praised sincerely.

Anyone can make rice balls, and it doesn't require much technical skills.

But even something as simple as this one is to make is relatively difficult to give it a different flavor or make some changes.

Especially in this era where there is no lack of creativity, all kinds of fantastic rice balls are popular, but Dafeng has made the simplest and traditional rice balls taste special.

"It would be great if you are satisfied, Commander. There are different fillings over there. If you are free, Dafeng will make it for you right away!"

Dafeng was about to go back to continue making rice balls, but Yang Sikang stopped her with a smile.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to continue eating rice balls now."

Dafeng felt a little lost.

"Besides, you don't have time to make rice balls. Let's go out and play."

Dafeng's eyes lit up.

"Then, Dafeng will prepare now..."

"No need to prepare."

Yang Sikang still smiled and said:

"We are just going out for a stroll today. We can go wherever we want. There is no need to make any special preparations."

Taiho turned her head, only to see Javelin waving at her cheerfully, and Belfast smiling and nodding.

Da Feng turned around and looked at Yang Sikang in surprise, and Yang Sikang nodded:

"Just the two of us."

"Please wait a moment!"

Dafeng ran into the kitchen, quickly took something and stuffed it into the ship's space, then ran back quickly.

Yang Sikang and Dafeng came to the street, and just as he said, there were only the two of them.

Yang Sikang was not worried about his own safety. Although he gave one pistol to Mingshi for repair, he still had another intact one.

And now in Sakura Empire, no one who is not crazy should come to cause trouble for him.

Yang Sikang’s destination was not around the port area, as there was nothing fun to do nearby.

The two of them were wandering around the street aimlessly, chatting about some fairly mundane things.

Dafeng actually enjoyed this kind of thing, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

Because of Dafeng, she attracted a lot of attention, but she completely ignored everyone else, as if she and Yang Sikang were the only two people on the street.

As for Yang Sikang, he was already used to being the center of attention.

It was a coincidence that when the two of them were walking into a pretty good food street nearby, they happened to meet a few acquaintances.

Shigure, Yukikaze, Yudachi, and besides that there's also Ayanami.

As soon as Yang Sikang and Dafeng came over, Xili was the first to turn around and look over.

"A familiar smell! Oh! Isn't this Dafenghe..."

Xili recognized Dafeng at a glance, but the next second he looked at Yang Sikang and tilted his head, obviously not remembering his name at all.

The three people next to her also looked over because of her actions, and Shi Yu quickly spoke:

"Isn't this Commander Yang Sikang? Why are you here? Are you here to buy food as well?"

Xuefeng only took a glance and turned back to look at the merchandise in the window without interest.
