Azur Lane Under the Stars

Jinqu, the second of the three adopted sisters, stepped forward first, tidied her appearance slightly, adjusted her glasses on her small nose, and then said:

"I've had a great time living in the port area, and I've learned a lot from Professor Belfast..."

"Let me reintroduce myself, Master. I am Royal Maid, Energetic, and I take up my post in this port area from today. I am very good at cleaning in the maid squad, and my hobbies are reading and various miscellaneous studies. Of course, in battle, in addition to support, guard, and transport missions, I can also occasionally participate in combat. Over."

"I look forward to your guidance in the future. You can continue to learn from Belfast then," Ren Shuo said.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master." The ambitious little face was full of joy.

"My turn! My turn!" Unyielding eagerly stepped forward, her hand stroking the sword at her waist. "I am a knight of the Vichy Church, the Fantasy-class destroyer, Unyielding! Commander, do you possess the honor befitting your status? Hmph, after spending these past few days together, I have confirmed it!"

"Our port district's Free Iris and Vichy Church aren't divided into such detailed areas; they're all girls from Free Iris," Ren Shuo kindly reminded him.

Unyielding pouted, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied: "Impossible! A proud knight will not allow himself to bow down..."

"But Dunkirk said that if the family splits up like this, there will be no more desserts."

Ren Shuo said.

This move truly captured the indomitable spirit.

Regardless of the different personalities of the girls from the Free Iris or the Vichy Church, they all have one thing in common: they love sweets.

Especially the desserts made in Dunkirk.

Back then, this issue of not separating the family caused a major rift between Bar and some girls, which Richelieu couldn't control. In the end, Dunkirk simply cut off the sweets of a few of the most vocal girls for a week.

Everyone obediently lowered their heads.

Sure enough, the unyielding pupils began to tremble violently: "Even if... even so..."

"Don't worry, even your Vichy Church's flagship, Jean Bart, was thoroughly subdued by Dunkirk, and publicly declared that they are all part of the Free Iris family..."

Ren Shuo thoughtfully gave the little guy a way out.

"Well, then there's nothing I can do." Unyielding gave himself a way out, feeling quite satisfied.

It's not that I didn't resist, but the leaders surrendered first, so how can you blame me? You can't, right?

"Alright, let's go home. From now on, this place will be an orphanage..."

Ren Shuo patted Xia Fei on the shoulder.

Xiafei nodded slightly: "Indeed... I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

"But a ship must look forward, right?"

Chapter 560 Bismarck Still Has No Dragon

"In good condition..."

"Heartbeat is steady..."

"We can begin the final steps now..."

In a high-tech room, a green-headed cat and an octopus are looking at the data report in front of them with great seriousness, pointing and gesturing.

There were a few ship girls of varying heights, looking embarrassed, watching the two of them from the side.

And their role was that of a speechless Bismarck.

"You two, is it really necessary to be such a drama queen?"

"Can you finish this quickly? Once it's done, I can go and finish what I have on hand."

Reno yawned.

Yubari nodded and said, "Let's finish early so we can get off work early. I was hoping to catch up on some sleep..."

"Sorry, sorry, the atmosphere just got right, so we started acting."

Akashi and the observer started joking around.

“The commander must be getting impatient too.” Lingmin looked at Ren Shuo.

Ren Shuo, however, produced a small stool from somewhere, along with potato chips and a can of soda: "It's okay, don't worry about me, you guys continue..."

“Master, you should eat less of this junk food... If you want snacks, just ask Yixian and Dunkirk to make them.”

Belfast severely confiscated Ren Shuo's snacks.

"Huh? How come you're like this? You know my health right now, I don't have any health problems at all, okay? I haven't had a cold in a year."

"But you still need to have good living habits... Akashi, take your things back."

Belfast, with her sharp eyes, noticed Akashi taking out a potion of unknown origin and sneaking closer.

"Commander, this is a little project that will let you experience what it's like to have a cold, meow. Would you like to give it a try, meow?"

Akashi tempted, "All you need is a sack of red twigs, meow."

Ren Shuo chuckled and said, "Do you think I'd have nothing better to do than experience what it's like to be sick?"

Even if I were to run around outside in the dead of winter wearing only a shirt, or even if I were to be pulled out of icy water and spend the night at the Northern United Outdoor Station, I wouldn't have a runny nose.

Even a normal person wouldn't want to catch a cold.

Akashi tempted, "Commander, think about it, meow. If you get sick, wouldn't everyone be able to take care of you, meow?"

"Just imagine, meow, the legendary nurse's uniform, doctor's uniform, and stuff like that, meow..."

Akashi's deep voice was like the devil's whisper, tempting Ren Shuo to open Pandora's box, and even Ren Shuo was somewhat tempted.

"Take it back... no, confiscate it."

Belfast bent down and took the item from Akashi's hand: "Don't give this kind of thing to Master. Why make yourself look like you have a cold when you're perfectly healthy..."

Seeing Akashi's immediately deflated expression, Belfast looked at Ren Shuo and said helplessly, "If the master wants to see it, he can do so anytime he wants, as long as he gives the order. There's no need to pretend to be sick or anything, as everyone will be worried anyway."

"Understood……"

Ren Shuo humbly acknowledged that he understood... He would ask the Empress and Yi Xian to make some similar clothes, or have St. Louis buy some back.

Sigh, I'm just so eager to learn.

I study English every night, and now I'm going to have to start taking extra classes on menstrual health?

"Hey, Commander, have you forgotten about me...?"

Bismarck was still standing on the modification platform, looking somewhat helpless.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot..." Akashi and the Observer quickly got to work.

"Then, please show us your ship equipment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bismarck skillfully summoned his ship equipment.

After all, all the girls in the port area have been enhanced and modified by the research team many times. It can be said that although they are all at full training level, they are several times stronger than those outside.

Akashi held a miniature hammer and tapped on Bismarck's rigging on the left side. Soon, Bismarck's rigging began to glow and then began to transform.

Ren Shuo looked at the scene before him and also felt that it was a bit strange.

Honestly, the renovation of my own home was truly eye-opening. It started with them pulling out a renovation plan and telling the girl being renovated, "Eat this," and then later they put something that looked like an egg in front of her and said, "Go in, it'll be done soon."

So now they're treating shipboard modification like carpentry? Just hammer it all in?

I can not accept.

But the truth is just that magical and mysterious.

"Bismarck," Ren Shuo suddenly asked, "Do you think your ship's rigging, after being modified, could resemble a steel dragon?"

Bismarck paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "I don't think so. It can't change that drastically, can it?"

“But look…” Ren Shuo suddenly revealed a malicious smile, “Look at Frederick the Great, and look at Egil… they both have such handsome dragons, and you, as the flagship, don’t have one?”

"Tirpitz didn't have it either, did he?"

I don't know why, but hearing Ren Shuo say that made me inexplicably angry.

Ren Shuo shook his finger: "But look, Tirpitz isn't the flagship, you are... As the flagship, Miss Bismarck, your steel dragon must be very cool, right?"

Bismarck was furious: "I don't know what you're talking about, Commander, but I have a feeling you have a lot of issues with me?"

"No, that kind of thing? It doesn't exist." Ren Shuo laughed exaggeratedly.

They practically had "I'm just stirring things up" written all over their faces.

"Akashi, do you have the ability to summon a dragon for me?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Bismarck became more and more concerned, and even thought that creating a dragon would be very cool.

So she asked.

Akashi looked somewhat troubled: "This wasn't planned for the renovation project, so it seems a bit risky... What do you guys think?"

When asked by the researchers below, Akashi realized he had no other options.

Without looking up, Yubari and the others adjusted the parameters: "Don't even think about it, there's no way, unless we scrap everything and start over."

"Isn't this just adding something?"

Ren Shuo was a little confused. Why not just equip one directly?

"You think this is like building blocks? It's not that simple." The builder rolled his eyes.

"Yes, Master, this kind of modification is very meticulous. You can't just delete anything. Even the slightest difference could cause the entire modification to fail."

Yubari also responded with a smile.

"Alright then, you guys get back to work." Ren Shuo said no more.

"However, if Master wants to get a dragon for Bismarck, I can slowly research and help you later."

Yubari took the initiative to express his opinion.

"Do you want Bismarck? As a flagship of Ironblood, how can you not have your own handsome dragon?" Ren Shuo said seriously.

Bismarck was speechless. She was certain that this scumbag commander was torturing her: "Whatever."

“You need to pay, meow!” Akashi immediately interjected, “This amount.”

Bismarck: "You're asking for the moon!"

Sometimes, to maintain a good relationship with my sister, I have her manage my salary. If Tirpitz knew why I was spending so much money, she definitely wouldn't approve…

Huh? Why do I need Tirpitz's permission to use my own money?

In short, does this mean I have no choice but to work again to earn money?

Unbeknownst to him, Bismarck seemed to have been led astray by the collaboration between Akashi and Ren Shuo.

Akashi was overjoyed that her little money-making scheme had worked: "I'm done, now it's your turn, meow."

Akashi jumped down from the control panel and spoke to the observer.

The observer, with a sly smile, summoned his octopus-tentacle-type ship equipment, which then slowly began to climb up Bismarck's legs like a water snake.

"……What are you doing?"

Bismarck kicked away the Observer's tentacles. She felt extremely awkward. Although they weren't real octopus tentacles and didn't have that disgusting slime, they were still warm from the Observer's body, which made Bismarck, a straight woman, very uncomfortable.

"Isn't this the normal procedure? Everyone does it this way."

The observer said with a smile.

She had tricked Bismarck before, and now she wanted to see the serious-looking Chancellor's daughter looking troubled.

"but……"

Akashi was about to say, "But you don't need to do this. Why don't you just touch Bismarck's rigging with the tip of your rigging?" when the quick-thinking Observer covered Mingmiao's mouth and stuffed a hundred units of red trinkets into her pocket.

"But what?" Bismarck looked at Mingmiao and the Observer suspiciously, feeling that the two of them were hiding something from her.

"Nothing, nothing, meow," Akashi said immediately.

The observer nodded in satisfaction.

However, after calming Akashi down, he never expected the betrayal from a righteous person.

"But you don't need to do that, wouldn't a simple touch be enough?"
