Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

After everything was swept away, Yang Sikang let out a breath and Lingnan took the empty bowl.

"The store will come to collect it later."

Yang Sikang watched Ling Nan put the empty bowl skillfully by the door and suddenly asked:

"Ayanami, aren't you going to go play with the others? Or go back to your room and grab your things?"

"No need to desu."

Ayanami shook her head and took out a game console that she had found from somewhere and started playing.

"It's only a few days anyway, and you have people playing desu over there too."

Lingnan looked up at Yang Sikang:

"If Lord Yang Sikang wants to awaken Bumblebee, then what will happen after awakening him? Will he leave Sakura Empire?"

Yang Sikang thought for a while and shook his head:

"I guess he won't leave yet, but... I don't know when he'll leave. And waking up Bumblebee in Sakura Empire might cause some trouble."

"Will not."

Ayanami shook her head and said:

"Everyone who dared to cause trouble for you has been killed."

"Oh, that seems to make sense."

Yang Sikang smiled, but didn't think so in his heart.

He killed many people on the Sakura Empire side, but they were limited to those high-ranking politicians currently in office.

Such people often have complex forces and deep-rooted families behind them.

When one person steps down, another will always be pushed to the front, it’s just a matter of replacing him with a more obedient person.

As long as these problems are not solved, killing a group of people or even killing them all will only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

However, he was not interested in helping the Sakura Empire to solve the problem. That was something the First Carrier should consider.

What he wants is for those people to stop causing him trouble now, so that he won't bother with them anymore.

Chapter 323 Belfast's Routine

While Yang Sikang was chatting with Ayanami, Shen Yue had already woken up.

Although Shen Yue has not returned to school yet, several of her friends have already come.

Javelin and other ship girls did not meet her friends, and her friends had no idea that the gentle maids who received them every day were ship girls.

This was what Belfast and Shenyue had agreed upon, and Shenyue herself felt that this was better.

She didn't fall behind in her school studies. Akagi arranged for someone to tutor her. If I had to say, her learning efficiency is much higher than before.

But after a few days, Shen Yue's uneasiness began to surge again.

But this time it was different. What made her uneasy was what would happen after she was safe and left here?

I used to live alone, but people always miss beautiful things.

"Miss Shen Yue, are you thinking about the future?"

A familiar voice sounded and Shen Yue quickly turned around.

"Miss Belfast, I, I was just a little distracted."

"Don't worry, Miss Fuyuki."

Belfast's voice was very calm, as if it had some kind of magic that quickly calmed down the slightly panicked Shen Yue.

"We have all seen the changes in your condition over the past few days. Are you worried about the future?"

Shen Yue nodded and said:

"Although you all have been very kind to me, Miss Belfast, I will have to go back sooner or later."

"Beautiful things always make people nostalgic, and this is also true for you, Miss Shenyue. So it is not shameful to have some nostalgia. It would be better to say that if you have no nostalgia during these few days here, it would show that our work is very poor."

"Why, Miss Belfast, you are...very good."

Shen Yue's expression was very conflicted, and Belfast said:

"So, Miss Fuyuki, would you consider staying with us forever?"

"Eh?"

Shen Yue looked at Belfast blankly, as if she didn't understand what Belfast meant.

"Miss Fuyuki, do you know anything about our commander?"

"No, no..."

Belfast poured black tea for Shenyue, and then began to speak:

"Our commander is actually a very troublesome person. He always likes to run to the battlefield by himself, and he also likes to run to the most dangerous places. When making plans, he always puts himself in places that are not safe at all."

Shen Yue looked at Belfast in surprise. This was the first time she heard someone say such a thing.

But even when she heard it for the first time, she could tell that the actions Belfast was talking about were very dangerous things.

"And you should have known about what we did in Sakura Empire these past few days, Shen Yue."

"Ah, um..."

Shen Yue nodded, her mind in a mess.

She knew exactly what Belfast was referring to, because when Shigure and the others were telling her those things, Javelin and the others were listening alongside her.

If we were to describe it briefly and concisely using only the core keywords, there would only be one word: murder.

But even Fuyuki didn't feel any resistance. On the one hand, she had only heard about it. On the other hand, she had seen it with her own eyes and had come into contact with ship girls such as Belfast, Javelin, and Sirius.

On the other hand, those dead people had nothing to do with her, a bunch of politicians she had never heard of. Who knew who they were? There was not even any related news on TV, not even their names!

"So Miss Shenyue, do you know what happened to the master when he was in White Eagle?"

Shen Yue shook her head.

"Actually, I am the second ship girl built by the master."

Belfast smiled and said:

"When I was built, the only ship girl around my master was Miss Javelin. And right after I was built, I was assigned a mission to help the commander-in-chief of our home port, Miss Enterprise, for six months."

"Eh?! Six months?!"

"Yes, because I was the head maid of the royal family, and my master had not yet established himself, so I couldn't attract too much hostility for him. And when I went to help Miss Enterprise, my master killed someone for the first time that I knew of."

Shen Yue didn't know what to say, but Belfast said immediately:

"That was a criminal who should have been arrested for molesting a child in the eyes of ordinary people. However, due to the special relationship between the ship girls and the military and police departments in the White Eagle, the criminal with a certain adaptability to the mind cube could not be caught by the police as long as he escaped into the port area and did not leave."

Shen Yue widened her eyes, full of disbelief.

"And my master broke that man's leg just after he built Miss Javelin and officially became a commander. Not long after I was built, he happened to have used up all the Mind Cubes assigned to him, and then he had some ideas, but he was discovered and kicked out."

"The master asked me to investigate his whereabouts. After I found his trail, the master killed the man alone with a pistol."

Shen Yue hadn't recovered yet, and Belfast didn't continue.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Yue finally recovered, with a complicated expression.

Belfast had been paying attention to her reaction, and when he saw that the time was almost right, he continued:

"Although the master may have a bad reputation outside, he is much friendlier when it comes to children and ship girls. But Miss Futsuki, we are not from the Sakura Empire after all."

Belfast sighed and looked at Shenyue worriedly:

"If someone causes trouble for you after we leave, or if something happens to you, I think the master will be very upset."

"Well, Miss Belfast, what does this mean?"

Belfast smiled but made no reply.

However, her failure to answer at this time made people more imaginative. After hearing about Yang Sikang's "feat", how could Shen Yue not think about it?

Soon her thoughts flew to who knows where, but no matter how she thought about it, Shen Yue came to a unified conclusion: it was very dangerous.

But this meant a heavy pressure on her. When she thought that if she had an accident, it might cause more deaths, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Although I know that if that is true, the dead person is also a criminal, but it is still too difficult for a teenage girl to figure out the reasoning here all at once.

Looking at Shen Yue's reaction, Belfast's eyes flashed with cunning, but he immediately said calmly:

"So, I was wondering if you would like to stay with us, Miss Shen Yue? After all, there is no place safer than here at the moment."

Chapter 324: Just a Little Trick

Belfast knew more and in more detail than Deep Moon.

She knew very well that by tomorrow morning Shen Yue would be informed that she was out of danger and could return to her home and continue her daily life.

Although this does not prevent Belfast and the others from trying to keep Shen Yue or visiting Shen Yue at home, there are big problems with either method.

Belfast's approach is a little bit special.

Her purpose was to keep Shen Yue here so that she could better persuade Shen Yue to leave with them later.

Belfast saw through Yang Sikang's plan early on, and she has always been supportive of Yang Sikang's plan.

He first talked about what Yang Sikang had done in Sakura Empire, leaving Shen Yue with the impression that Yang Sikang was a ruthless killer.

Then through previous events, it is shown that although Yang Sikang is ruthless, he will not kill people for trivial matters, but even so he will still kill people.

Although these two statements are a bit confusing, they can well illustrate that Yang Sikang is not a person who kills indiscriminately. At the same time, by repeatedly mentioning it calmly, they deepen the impression: killing.

The next step was for Shen Yue to imagine on her own. When Belfast remained silent and did not answer, Shen Yue, who had already understood the content of the previous two paragraphs, would naturally associate the matter with murder.

This is inevitable given that Belfast skillfully controls the rhythm and tone of the description and deliberately makes emphatic psychological suggestions.

However, what Belfast did was to put forward his own "suggestions" at the right time, that is, when Shenyue's thinking was over but there was no time to think again and again to find the problem.

At this time, Shen Yue had no idea what to do, and had no time to discover the problem. The advice given by Belfast and Belfast's own image gave Shen Yue a strong sense of trust.

So, the result is natural -

"But, is this okay?"

Shen Yue was still a little hesitant, but he had obviously taken Belfast's suggestion as his own solution.

Belfast smiled and nodded:

"Of course, the master is very caring towards Miss Shenyue and will not refuse such a small request. Besides, Miss Shenyue, you have a good relationship with Javelin and the others these days, right?"

"Yes...but wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

"Haha, of course not."

Belfast smiled and said:

"It's better for our maid team when you're here, Ms. Fuyuki. After all, our master always arranges things properly, and most of the time we just have to follow orders. This makes us feel a little bit that we haven't done our job well."

At this point, Shen Yue was completely hooked.

Belfast deliberately did this not because it had too much free time, but because it wanted to achieve its goal in a different way.

Whether they directly try to persuade Shen Yue to stay or visit her at home, how can it be better than letting Shen Yue ask to stay herself?

Belfast's main purpose was to make Fuyuki feel that the decision to stay was her own.

With this precedent, when they are about to leave Sakura Empire, the probability that Fuyue is willing to leave Sakura Empire with them will increase significantly.

Although Yang Sikang did not ask Belfast to do such a thing, since it has been speculated that Yang Sikang intends to take care of and train this girl, how could Belfast do nothing?

Belfast looked at his work and smiled with satisfaction.

The next thing was extremely easy for her, to comfort Shen Yue and allow her to completely relax.

Change the subject so that Shen Yue no longer has to think about those troublesome things.

In just two hours, Shen Yue had completely come out of her previous confusion and had made up her mind to ask Yang Sikang if he wanted to stay with them when he returned!

However, Yang Sikang didn't know about these things at this time. He was busy talking to Musashi.
