Commander, you smell so good.

Of course, he was definitely not the one who was hit, but he was the one who was hit. However, it would not feel good to be hit too much, even if he had unlocked many new postures.

Fortunately, Jiang Zheng has a good physique and is gradually moving towards a direction that is becoming less and less human.

"Commander, look, we're almost at the port. I can already see my companions waiting for me."

Holding his body that seemed about to be blown away by the wind, Prince Eugen stared into the distance with a flushed face. With the vision of a ship girl, she could naturally see very far.

"Where? I can't go there."

"Commander, I'm a shipgirl and you're human. It would be amazing if you could see me."

Jiang Zheng raised his hand and looked into the distance. The dock was clearly visible but blurry. As for the people on it, he certainly couldn't see them.

Being teased by Eugen, Jiang Zheng was not annoyed. He stretched out his hand to touch her slender waist gently. She blushed and glared at him.

Jiang Zheng was very pleased about this. During the few days he spent with Eugen, he found a way to control her. Her weakness was her thin waist.

It was like sensitive flesh, and as long as I touched it lightly with my fingertips, Eugen would tremble like a little rabbit, staring at me with a look of being harassed, which was very interesting.

Seeing the commander still so casual, Z23 calmly distanced himself from him.

Although the cruise ship was still several nautical miles away from the dock, the ship girls had very good eyesight, and Z23 had already imagined their teasing looks after getting off the ship.

sad.

"What's wrong, Nimi? Do you need me to hug you?"

"...No need, Commander. We'll arrive at the dock in less than half an hour. Let's prepare in advance."

After politely declining Jiang Zheng's invitation, Z23's cheeks flushed slightly.

Every time she sat in his arms or was hugged by him, she would be touched. Although she didn't mind, Z23 still had to save face.

As for Heinrich and Z46, they went to prepare, even though the items were not many.

The cruise ship's whistle sounded, indicating that it was time to disembark.

Taking the elevator down to the entrance and to the starting point for boarding, Jiang Zheng, accompanied by four Iron Blood ship girls, came to the Iron Blood Empire.

As soon as I went out, I saw several ship girls who had been waiting for a long time. As I walked along, I could gradually see which ship girls were coming.

The tallest ones are Frederick the Great and Peter Strasser, the blond twintailed Hipper and Blücher, and finally Mainz and Gneisenau.

Wow, the six ship girls who came directly over made Jiang Zheng feel a little surprised.

Although their expressions were different, he could feel the different temperaments on them. It was just that Hipper looked at him with some hostility, Jiang Zheng thought after looking around.

"Welcome to the Iron Blood Empire. I am Mainz, here to greet you. I hope you will have a good impression of Iron Blood, Your Excellency."

A ship girl with silver hair and a shawl and capable movements strode towards Jiang Zheng, stopped at a suitable distance from him, and stretched out her right hand.

"Thank you very much. I'm Jiang Zheng, the contact for the Sardinian Iron Blood Friendship. It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful Ms. Mainz."

As Jiang Zheng had been coached by Abruzzi, he naturally would not do anything that would be unpleasant to others. He stretched out his hand, shook it gently, and then separated it. He stared at Mainz with a straight gaze, but noticed the surprise in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I just didn't expect you to be immune to our radiation. It's really shocking."

Mainz shook his head gently and withdrew his hand. He looked at him a few more times with an inquiring look, and then put it out of his mind.

Although I'd like to know what's going on, now is not a good time.

"I'm also shocked, but this is not something I can explain. May I ask who else..."

Skipping this topic, Jiang Zheng looked at several other ship girls. Mainz was the welcoming person, but what about these? They weren't the leaders' escorts, were they?

"They are here to greet you, but I am the main person in charge. They are more curious about you, so please forgive me."

Mainz said this with an apologetic look on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but move away. Originally, he was the only one in charge. Frederick the Great and Gneisenau, Hipper and Peter were just here to take a look.

Mainz felt bitter, but she couldn't say it directly.

“It’s okay, I don’t care about these things.”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. These two are Frederick the Great and Gneisenau. They welcome you to the outside and the inside respectively."

As soon as he finished speaking, two tall ship girls came to Mainz's side. Gneisenau pushed his glasses, and Frederick the Great smiled and stared at Jiang Zheng.

"I am Gneisenau, this is Frederick the Great, hello, sir."

"Hello, hello both of you, nice to meet you."

Jiang Zheng looked at the several ship girls in front of him. This familiar way seemed like meeting with a leader, but now he was in the leadership position.

It is embarrassing.

"Welcome, my child. What do you want me to give you? Gold, glory, or youth?"

Frederick the Great's sudden words reminded Jiang Zheng of his previous conversation, and he couldn't help but look at her twice more.

I felt like I was going to explode.

She is over two meters tall and has a plump figure. She exudes a gentle and all-embracing temperament. Although her right eye is covered by her hanging hair, it still can't hide her soft expression.

Classic long straight black hair, but gentle type.

Jiang Zheng wanted to admire for a moment that the woman in front of him could be his mother.

Eve, I understand you.

No, not yet, because Frederick the Great is very tall, there is no comparison.

But Frederick the Great suddenly said this, and the scene fell silent. Mainz, as the person in charge, wanted to turn his head away, and even couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

Oh my God! Could Frederick the Great please stop this sudden surge of maternal instinct and just call everyone "children"? It really makes me want to kick her ass with my Martin boots!

But she dared not.

"Ahem... Let's talk somewhere else, everyone."

Gneisenau cleared his cough awkwardly and took them to the living room to chat.

"no problem"

After saying that, Jiang Zheng glanced at Eugen and followed him away. Eugen, who received the signal, understood and walked towards Hipper, who had his arms folded. Blücher, who was next to Hipper, glanced at Jiang Zheng and ran towards Eugen with a happy look, hugging his returning sister.

Seeing this, Heinrich took the opportunity to flee the scene. There was someone here she didn't want to face, Peter Strasser who was on crutches.

But before she took two steps, Peter was already in front of her with a faint smile on his face.

"Where do you want to go, Heinrich?"

"Ha...haha, I need to go to the bathroom..."

After saying that, Heinrich immediately ran away, but unfortunately he was caught before he could run a few steps, with a look of loss on his face.

"Where do you want to go?... Come with me, and I'll tell you about your time on the boat and the trouble you caused."

After saying that, Peter took her hand and left. Just a few days later, she received another complaint about Heinrich. As for who reported it, she could not say.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Z23 and Z46 standing there, staring at each other, neither of them knowing what to do.

"Z46, why don't you come with me to Z1's place first? Or you can go wherever you want and just follow me..."

“No need, I have my own place to go.”

Z46 rejected Z23's invitation and looked in the direction where Jiang Zheng and others left. After a little thought, he followed their departing backs. Only Z23 wanted to go to Bismarck.

Regarding reports on the cruise ship, an oral report is required.

.........

"Please take a seat, Mr. Jiang Zheng."

"Thank you"

Coming to the reception room and sitting on the comfortable sofa, Jiang Zheng looked at Gneisenau and Mainz sitting opposite him, and then looked at Frederick the Great sitting next to him.

Aren't you sitting across from me? Why are you here?

"...Sir, please do not worry about Frederick the Great. I actually want to discuss a serious matter with you. Please allow us to speak openly and frankly."

Ignoring Frederick the Great, Mainz asked directly:

"Excuse me, can you summon a ship girl through the Mind Cube?"

Chapter 83 Let’s explore the previous area later.

"...Where did you get this information?"

Jiang Zheng was slightly stunned by Mainz's question but quickly calmed down.

Come to think of it, Sardinia knew that he had the ability to summon ship girls, and then the news spread to Iron Blood. There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world.

"Of course, I learned about it through various channels, but please rest assured, whether you answer or not, you are our Iron-Blooded friend."

Glancing at Gneisenau who had taken out a tablet to record, Mainz smiled slightly and spoke with his hands calmly placed on his knees.

Regardless of whether he answers or not, Mainz will regard Jiang Zheng as a friend between Iron-Blooded Sardinia, of course, just a friend.

"Okay, I know this matter can't be covered up, I just hope I'm not in any danger."

Jiang Zheng sighed slightly, knowing that he could no longer hide the truth. He picked up the coffee that had been placed in front of him at some point. There was beautiful latte art on the coffee, and the aroma filled the air.

"Don't worry, my child. As long as you stay in Iron Blood, I will protect you well."

Upon learning of his worries, Frederick the Great smiled gently, with a hint of doting in his tone, and his eyes softened as he stared at him.

Putting aside whether humans or sirens could break in, which of the shipgirls present here isn't a skilled warrior? Protecting them wouldn't be easier than drinking water, right?

"Then I would like to thank you all in advance."

After taking a sip of the coffee, Jiang Zheng forced himself to suppress a polite smile and put the coffee back calmly, but the blue hairs on his forehead began to twitch.

Who made this coffee?! Why is it so bitter? Who can drink it?

"So what is your answer?"

"Okay, as a matter of friendship between us, I admit that I have this ability."

"Really? That's really great."

Mainz felt relieved and the smile on her face became more sincere. If possible, she didn't want to hide it from each other, but they had to reach an agreement on cooperation in some areas.

"Although I can summon ship girls, I remember that you ship girls can also wake up your companions. Logically, you don't need me." Jiang Zheng asked with his hands on his thighs, not knowing what was going on.

KanColle can also awaken the Mind Cube, so isn’t it reasonable for a human like me to also use the Mind Cube?

"We were able to wake up our companions, but for some reason, we are now unable to do so."

After thinking for a moment, Mainz decided to release the bombshell news. Regardless of whether he knew it or what would happen next, Sardinia was already tied to Stigma Sangforth, so there was no need to think about it.

"If he can't wake me up, then it really is..."

After learning the news, Jiang Zheng felt a little strange and couldn't tell what the problem was, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that it was the time when World War II was about to begin.

The Royal Army has about a hundred warships, but the Iron Blood Army seems to have less than half of them, right?

"May I ask...how many members are there in Iron Blood? I mean KanColle."

"Over fifty companions in total...Sir, is there a problem?"

"That's not right, this... Okay, it's okay."

After listening to Wanjinz's report, Jiang Zheng felt something was wrong. More than fifty? That's not right, right?

Then Jiang Zheng thought of something, turned his head and took a quick glance at Frederick the Great, and immediately understood.

This is the Magic Route. In the early stage, it was World War II, and in the later stage, it started with the Cold War laser missile Gundam. Now you can understand it.

Jiang Zheng's heart immediately relaxed. Magic is magic, and there is no need to talk about World War II.

"What have you guessed? If you have any ideas, please tell us directly. We would be very grateful!"

Mainz noticed that his expression suddenly became clear, and he stared at him with shining eyes. Even Gneisenau, whose eyes had been fixed on the tablet, couldn't help but look up at him.

"No, it's just a possibility, I'm not sure"

"Please be frank!"

"I can only say... this is due to the limitations of the times and temporary difficulties."

Jiang Zheng was silent for a while, and then he said something that none of the ship girls present could understand. Even Frederick the Great looked at him with a puzzled look.
