Commander, you smell so good.

I don't know whether he will beat you or not, but Noshiro will definitely train you to death under the pretext of giving you special training.

Seeing their conversation, Xuefeng couldn't help shaking her little head, not knowing what had just happened.

Only Xiang recorded this series of videos calmly, and after returning to Sakura Empire, he would definitely give it to Noshiro in person.

Hehe ~

Fortunately, Jiu Niang knew that she shouldn't go too far, otherwise she would be in big trouble if her sisters remembered it. After sticking out her tongue and acting cute, Jiu Niang sat next to Jiang Zheng and began to slowly enjoy today's sweet late breakfast.

After breakfast, the ship girls started to get busy because they needed to prepare a ceremony to awaken Shinano, which actually meant setting up the venue and setting up an altar, so that it could be called an awakening ceremony.

However, this does not include Musashi and Jiang Zheng. Musashi is responsible for command and arrangements. Jiang Zheng wanted to help but was stopped by her, saying that he was not allowed to help.

Jiang Zheng seriously asked Musashi why.

"Because you are the commander, you hold a high position and shouldn't be involved in such matters. Moreover, the preparations are complicated and the materials that need to be transported are heavy..."

After thinking for a moment, Musashi stared at Jiang Zheng's face and said something tactfully.

After all, she couldn't directly say that Jiang Zheng was weak, but she only said that he was too weak compared to the ship girl. He couldn't move things that the ship girl could easily because he had a human physique and was too "fragile" compared to Musashi.

At first Jiang Zheng was a little unconvinced, and then he went to help Xuefeng. However, when he lifted a large stone tied with thick red and white ropes, he did not move, and was even ridiculed by Xuefeng.

"Ho, ho, ho~, the Commander is so weak! Weak! Weak! That's why I have to rely on Master Yukikaze!"

After mocking him openly, Xuefeng grabbed the big rock with one hand, hummed a song of victory, shook his cute little tail, and then turned and left.

However, before leaving, he looked back at the self-doubting Jiang Zheng, and only left after confirming that he was okay.

Jiang Zheng had also changed his attitude in this regard. For example, when he was helping Jiu Nio, he was clearly rejected. He said something that it was not good for him and that he could get hurt easily. Then he swung his knife and chopped down the tree, which instantly broke into several pieces.

In the end, Jiang Zheng could only helplessly hold Xuefeng, who had just finished the assigned task, rub her little head, and sigh at his own powerlessness.

It's so embarrassing. Others who traveled through time to become commanders could blow up the world with one punch and stop time, but I can only play with Xuefeng here.

So where did Mingshi go?! This green-headed cat can't be seen in the Sakura Empire!

"But Musashi, why do we need a ritual? I get the same effect when I touch the Rubik's Cube. It seems like a ritual won't do any good, right?"

Seeing that everyone was busy, Jiang Zheng teased the cat Xuefeng for a long time, but was rejected by the cat and ran away. Recalling the short rest last night, he originally wanted to wake up Shinano, but was stopped by her.

They said they were preparing for the ceremony, but now seeing everyone busy, Jiang Zheng was a little confused.

"Commander, you should know that although everyone currently trusts you, you need to demonstrate your abilities to be more eye-catching. This is what it means to show your power in public."

“It’s not easy to maintain power; it takes one step at a time, but knowing how to do it is what makes you stand out in everyone’s eyes, and that’s what’s important.”

Musashi spoke to him in detail, telling him what he knew and demonstrating his abilities, so that he could gain everyone's support.

It’s just that Musashi didn’t know about Jiang Zheng’s affairs with Sardinia Iron Blood and Iris, otherwise the only thing she would do is to promote the relationship between him and the various ship girls. After all, what can be better than a relationship where you know my strengths and weaknesses and I know yours?

After Long Feng and others were ready, the ceremony was also ready. Looking at the pile of mind cubes in front of her, she glanced at Musashi. It seemed that she had spent a lot of thought on Shinano.

At the same time, Sakuno and the others brought out Shinano, who was sleeping with her tail in her arms, and even carried out the bed. The very action of holding the bed high up was delightful.

Seeing Shinano's gentle sleeping face and the action of holding her tail, Jiang Zheng smiled, then put his hand on the mind cube and muttered Shinano's name.

The Mind Cube began to breathe and beat like a living being.

Chapter 321 Shinano...Recovery!!!

Just like before, Jiang Zheng sank into thoughts and felt his consciousness gradually sinking. This feeling was very strange, just like slowly falling asleep, but this was not a deep sleep, but the necessity of waking up the ship girl.

The body was emptied, and then Jiang Zheng saw the birth of Shinano. She was worshipped by the ship girls of the Sakura Empire with thousands of faiths, and finally her true incarnation was reflected in the sacred stone named Hai Ruo.

But the divine stone was merely an incomplete instrument, a tool for exchange. Therefore, her body was incomplete, like a broken cup. Power, like water, slowly flowed out of the cracks. Even though rest allowed her power to grow, how could a shattered blanket prevent the water from overflowing? And so, her power slowly dissipated.

From receiving the hopes of the ship girls, realizing the abnormality of her body and the dissipation of her strength, to falling into a deep sleep, this was just her self-protection being activated, so she fell into a sleep to recover her strength.

Afterwards, Jiang Zheng learned about Shinano's past, as if he was standing from the perspective of a painting, watching Shinano's changes until he fell into sleep.

Just as he was about to say something, the picture began to change, and then he saw the battlefield.

Smoke rose, artillery fire roared, and carrier-based aircraft shuttled across the battlefield like the sharpest weapons. This was a dream she had had before.

Jiang Zheng still saw Shinano's struggle in the dream. He continued to struggle, feeling powerless but not giving up. Instead, he tried to escape from the predicament again.

Until Jiang Zheng saw himself appear in her dream and help her, and then on an island behind, the two of them talked to each other, and finally felt Shinano's powerless struggle, lamentation and anxiety, as well as the last hope.

Finally, Jiang Zheng saw Shinano's smiling face in the house on the island. There was a bit of tenderness and expectation on her face, as if she was expecting him to take her out of this long dream.

Looking at her face, Jiang Zheng thought of many things, but finally shook his head and said nothing, but stretched out his hand to her.

Shinano looked at him, and without hesitation, she reached out her hand and held his hand. At the same time, the dream was quietly fading away.

On the other side, Jiu Nio and others were patiently waiting for his miracle. No one spoke to disturb him. After all, last time in the venue, countless ships were looking at him and waiting for a long time, but Jiang Zheng still succeeded. So he should succeed this time as well.

Jiu Nio stared at him, his little face tense, his hands clenched into fists, praying that Jiang Zheng would succeed instead of fail.

Xiang and Xuefeng were also hoping silently in their hearts, while Huayue and Beifeng were expecting a miracle to happen.

Only Musashi smiled and waited for his return, because she believed, unconditionally believed that her commander would succeed.

After a while, the mind cube that Jiang Zheng was touching began to resonate and transformed into a stream of water, gathering and flowing towards Shinano until it entered her body.

Just as everyone held their breath waiting for Shinano to stand up, the sky quickly turned into night, a bright moon rose in the sky, and the sun disappeared.

Just when Suruga and others displayed their naval guns, Musashi waved his hand at them, indicating that it was not necessary because this was one of Shinano's abilities.

Afterwards, the ship girls discovered that there were little blue lights rising from the ground, and several flying orchid butterflies appeared in the deep environment, flying towards Shinano little by little.

At the same time, starlight appeared beside Musashi, flashing charming light, and accompanied by the arrival of orchid butterflies. They consciously flew around Shinano's body, as if they were performing some incomprehensible ritual.

Gradually, Shinano's body began to float, and the only pajamas on her body gradually turned into a blue and white shrine maiden costume, white stockings and wooden clogs, and a beautiful headdress appeared on her head.

"Beifeng, look! Yes, that's what Lord Shinano looked like when he appeared!"

When Huayue saw that Shinano's clothes had changed, she immediately realized that these clothes were the ones Shinano wore when she appeared. She happily took Beifang's hand and shook it, with excitement visible on her face.

"Hmm... well, I saw it, it's kind of magical."

Seeing Shinano rise for the first time, Beifeng was shocked. Could such a magical scene exist? This was truly incredible.

Finally, a large blue and white shrine maiden costume appeared, orchid butterflies danced gracefully, blue fire appeared beside Shinano, forming the deck of an aircraft carrier, and three extra-long swords floated up, nine white tails floated, and opened the deep blue eyes with starlight.

After waking up, Shinano immediately realized his current condition. His body was light and full of strength, and the ship equipment he manifested was also roaring and powerful, as if he had been reborn.

At the same time, someone's traces and shadow are engraved in one's heart, and this is an indelible existence.

"I see... Is this the price? No, this is a gift."

Feeling the power within his body, this endless supply, Shinano understood that this was not a price, but a gift, and a generous gift at that.

After not paying attention to the feeling in his body, Shinano noticed that it was dark at the moment. Knowing that it was the power he had released unconsciously, he began to retract it.

The night dissipates, the day rises, and the power can be fully controlled.

As his body floated down, Shinano noticed the happy looks of the ship girls, and smiled at them. What followed was their excited cheers and their approach.

"Lord Shinano!"

"How are you feeling, Lord Shinano? Are you feeling well?"

Countless worries came to his face, as well as their most sincere hearts. Shinano nodded and spoke in a soft and gentle tone.

"I'm much better now. Unlike before, every time I woke up, I would feel a lingering sense of fatigue. Now it's completely different. My body is full of strength."

"This is all because of... the commander's presence."

Shinano was just about to call Jiang Zheng's name, but another name popped up in his mind. Shinano couldn't help but call Jiang Zheng the commander, which made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they cheered loudly.

After cheering, Jiu Niang turned his head to look at Jiang Zheng, wanting to thank him. Thanks to his help, Shinano was able to wake up. Now he had to thank him several more times tonight.

But when she looked over, Jiang Zheng was still maintaining that posture, and there was still an unused Mind Cube breathing.

Another ship girl began to take shape.

Chapter 322 White Dragon and Military Advisor

When Jiang Zheng's consciousness began to return, he thought he could see Shinano, but it was not until he was pulled into another scene that he realized that there might be a ship girl waiting for him.

Completely different from the one in Shinano, this time Jiang Zheng saw a Buddha statue, a stone Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue was not located in a temple, but on a cliff beside the beach. In front of this stone Buddha statue, Jiang Zheng saw a ship girl holding a big sword, wearing a samurai costume, with two pointed horns on her head, staring at the boundless sea with a serious face and waving the sword.

Day after day, year after year, time passed quickly like turning pages of a book. The swordsmanship of this ship girl gradually became more proficient, and Jiang Zheng also saw that the Buddha statue gradually became transparent, as if it was about to disappear.

Finally, she swung the knife slightly, and the sharp energy cut through the rolling clouds, forming a magnificent horizontal line.

Only after she saw that her skills were very successful did she smile. After resting for a while, she went to a temple in the distance. There was also a stone Buddha statue in this temple, but compared to the one on the seaside, this Buddha statue was extremely ferocious and arrogant.

She came to the Buddha statue, muttering something, as if she was saying some secret words.

Only after opening her mouth seven times did she shake her head with a hint of regret on her face. Then she showed a wild laugh, picked up the big knife, and chopped off the head of the hideous stone Buddha statue in front of her. The neck of the Buddha statue was smooth and neat, and the stone statue's head rolled down, rolled a few times, and was stepped on by her high heels. The big knife was placed on her shoulder, and her face was already a triumphant and arrogant smile, which was chilling.

It was at this moment that Jiang Zheng realized that a shadow had vaguely appeared behind her, and the face of that shadow was the same as that of the stone Buddha statue on the cliff. It turned out that the Buddha statue had become her guardian angel.

Her eyes turned and she realized someone was watching her. She turned her head and saw a shadow appear on the empty ground, and her eyes met Jiang Zheng's.

Bailong, this is her name.

Elsewhere, after Shinano woke up, she looked at Jiang Zheng curiously, at the person in front of her who repaired her. There was a bit of surprise and tenderness on her soft face, because she didn't expect that the person who woke her up was their commander.

With hope in her heart, Shinano looked at his motionless appearance, with a faint blush on her face.

"Lord Shinano, don't worry. The commander is awakening other ship girls now. They must be very powerful characters. After all, he is the commander."

A chair was brought to Shinano, and Shuoni looked at it with 100% hope, with pride in his tone. In Shuoni's opinion, even a big man like Shinano was not as powerful as his lover.

Shinano nodded in confusion, but didn't say anything. Instead, she thanked him and sat down obediently, waiting for him to finish.

Musashi came to her side, reached out and rubbed her head, his soft hair passing through her. Musashi cared a lot about his sister who had just woken up.

Not long after, the remaining Rubik's Cubes that had not been consumed began to gather together and flew quickly into the sky. Then, a blue light flashed, and a phantom fell from the sky, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.

It was not until the dust settled that the ship girls saw the falling figure. She was holding a big sword, stepping on the head of a Buddha statue, and had a arrogant and expectant smile on her face.

The head of the Buddha statue under her feet was probably just a piece of stone, and she crushed it into powder with just a little effort. She raised her head and spoke in a proud tone.

"Sakura Empire aircraft carrier Hakuryu. Anyone who doubts my strength is welcome to challenge me at any time!"

"You are my commander, right? My name is Bailong, Bai means white, and Long means dragon. Anyway, please remember my name well!"

After looking around, the ship girl named Bailong finally looked at Jiang Zheng. Looking at the figure in front of her who could be easily pinned down and unable to move, Bailong introduced herself to him.

"Well, Bailong, welcome to your arrival. Although it may not be a good idea from my personal point of view, there are still people in the Sakura Empire who can challenge you."

Jiang Zheng twisted his neck and body. He had just stood there for more than ten minutes, and his body was a little stiff. Then he looked at Bai Long with a smirk in his tone.

Because he knew Bailong's personality, he was arrogant and strong, and had a heart that wanted to challenge the strong.

But she also has a weakness, that is, if the sword is snatched away from her hand, she will become a soft and weak ship girl who can only cry.

Bailong was a little surprised. Hearing him say that, it seemed that there was some fighting. Then he looked at Shinano and Musashi.

That’s right, even though they didn’t have the aura to fight, the aura that they unconsciously exuded was really scary.

Especially the ship girl named Musashi, Haku felt a hint of threat from her. As for Shinano, to be honest, he couldn't see through her.

But no matter what, let’s get along well first.

However, just as Bai Long was about to walk towards Jiang Zheng, she felt someone watching her from somewhere else. She swung the big knife in her hand, shaking the woods not far away.

"Who? A scoundrel?"

"A scoundrel? I cannot bear the name, but please put away your weapons."

Two ship girls walked out from the woods that were shaking in the wind as everyone stared at each other.

A ship girl came over with a folding fan in her hand, a phoenix-wing and flower-adorned headdress, and a fox fur robe on her face, a look of joy on her face.

The other one was holding a red umbrella, wearing a brown kimono, with a sickly look in his eyes, and walked towards them with a slow gait.

All the ship girls present knew their reputation and had incredible expressions on their faces. Even Sakuniyo covered her face with one hand, because she really met a big shot even bigger than Akagi.

The two ship girls wanted to walk up to Jiang Zheng one after another, but were stopped by Bailong. His frown and bad look asked them to introduce themselves.

However, it was not until he took a closer look and gradually understood who the people in front of him were that he gave up his seat and let them go together.

The moment Jiang Zhengze saw the two people, he stepped forward, and past memories began to surface. The two people in front of him must be...

"I never thought that there would be such a person in my Sakura Empire, and this person is actually my master. It is really a blessing."

The brown-red fox had a look of joy on his face, and even the weakness in his brows was somewhat swept away. Then he remembered something and began to salute, introducing himself to the commander in front of him, but he coughed a few times before the introduction.
