Destroyer: Building a Dimensional Universe from Scratch

After completing a whole day of teaching the ship girls, Lu Chen felt physically and mentally exhausted.

The shipgirls all rushed to him to get close to him. The carrier girls wanted to learn the latest carrier-based aircraft operation skills, while the battleship girls wanted to learn the main gun firing techniques. Even the destroyer elementary school students pulled at his clothes and begged him to teach them combat skills. Some of the shipgirls asked sincerely, but most of them seemed to have ulterior motives.

Almost all the ship girls in the garrison gathered together, which made Lu Chen sigh: "It's over, I'm surrounded by the ship girls." Despite this, he still tried his best to teach them everything he knew.

When the sun set and the moonlight hung like water, the ship girls returned to their dormitories to rest. After a day of study and training, they all looked a little tired. Lu Chen looked at the time and it was still early, so he decided to fulfill his previous agreement and go to Xianghe to chat and deepen their relationship.

He walked around the garrison, bypassed the construction site in Bri, and came to the downstairs of the shipgirl dormitory. After asking a few young shipgirls, he finally found where Shokaku lived. The layout of the shipgirl dormitory here is similar to an apartment, with multiple families living on one floor.

Lu Chen knocked on the door gently, and then there was a burst of hurried footsteps. The door opened, and a girl in a white kimono and a red skirt stood in front of the door, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Admiral, you are here?" The girl was Shokaku, with long silver-white hair draped behind her back and a red headband on her head. With her outstanding appearance, people couldn't help but stop and admire her.

Lu Chen nodded and responded, "Well, I was just free, so I came to see you." Xianghe's room was in a typical Japanese style: a low coffee table and tatami on the dark wooden floor, wall-mounted bookshelves filled with books, wooden sliding doors dividing the room into bedrooms, kitchens and other areas, and a few vases of flowers placed in the corners. The whole space was quiet and elegant, and it was obvious that the owner had kept it in good order.

After sitting down, Xianghe made a cup of fragrant tea for Lu Chen, and took out a few boxes of exquisite and delicious snacks from the cabinet and placed them on the table. "Please, Admiral." She said, "You have been instructing the ship girls all afternoon, so you must have no time to eat. Wait a moment, I will make you something to eat."

As she spoke, Xianghe tied on an apron and began to work in the kitchen, boiling, cutting vegetables, and frying in one go. Lu Chen was about to say that he was in good health and it didn't matter if he skipped a meal, but when he turned around, he saw Xianghe, who was wearing a ponytail and an apron, busy in the kitchen, like a newlywed wife who took good care of her husband, with her feminine power at its maximum.

She is indeed a good candidate for a wife. Not long after, Shokaku came over with several plates of tempura, sushi and other snacks. "Admiral, my cooking skills may not be as good as those of Donghuang's shipgirls, and my research on cooking is not deep enough, please don't despise me."

Shokaku sat beside him, speaking softly and respectfully. She always kept a low profile, showing the humility and respect unique to the Sakura Empire. "Ah, it's okay, I did a great job." Lu Chen was deeply attracted by Shokaku's gentleness, and he took a few bites of the food, then asked a few questions about the new equipment.

"I have basically mastered the control methods of the new carrier-based aircraft. Next, I need to learn other knowledge. I will trouble you, Admiral." Shokaku answered seriously.

Lu Chen suggested that she could learn from Shokaku from Azur Lane when she was free, because she was also a gentle big sister with silver hair, who could be sarcastic occasionally, and the two of them should get along well.

After hearing this, Shokaku was a little disappointed. After all, she knew that she couldn't occupy the commander's time alone. She agreed to show her understanding.

Afterwards, the two talked about Lu Chen's daily work pressure. Xianghe asked him: "You manage such a large country every day, it must be very tiring, right?"

Lu Chen smiled and replied: "It's OK. Richelieu and Yixian will help me share some of the work. Recently, a nanorobot has joined us. She can work continuously for 24 hours without rest."

Lu Chen believes that this nanorobot named Xiao Hui is a natural overtime machine. Theoretically, working 7x24 hours continuously is no pressure for her, but she will still resist overtime from time to time.

After hearing this, although Shokaku didn't know who "Gray Wind" was, she still nodded and said that if there was anything she needed her help with, she would do her best. "Although my ability is weak, I will do my best to do my best for the Admiral's affairs."

Lu Chen admired these sensible shipgirls very much, and he felt particularly comfortable with them. After finishing the meal, after Xianghe had cleared the dishes, she took the initiative to kneel behind Lu Chen and gently massaged his shoulders. "You work at your desk for a long time, so proper rest is the key." She said.

Xianghe's skillful technique, moderate strength, and gentle words made people linger. Lu Chen couldn't help but lean back and lean his whole body into Xianghe's arms. She was not wearing protective gear, and Lu Chen could feel the soft touch of her head.

"Ah... Admiral..."

Shoukaku blushed shyly. "You're perfect to be a wife."

Lu Chen complimented him casually. Xianghe's emotional expression was not as passionate and unrestrained as Richelieu and Taiho, but this silent tenderness could easily make people fall into it.

Hearing this, Shokaku immediately realized another layer of meaning and asked tentatively: "Commander, do you have a lot of sworn ship girls?"

"Richelieu, Dafeng, Zhenhai, and Beifa, you should have met them all. Yixian is in the base now, you can see her when you go back."

Lu Chen did not deliberately hide the truth and answered the question directly. However, he mentioned not only the ship girls, but also other magical creatures such as dragon girls, elves, and heroic spirits. These dragon girls with the power to destroy the world, elves that can control any field...

The fleet girls are naturally beautiful and they are stunningly beautiful without even needing to wear makeup.

Wearing a red and white kimono, her pretty face was highlighted.

"Admiral, please take care of me."

Xianghe gently nestled in Lu Chen's arms, giving him a soft and delicate feeling.

The silver-white hair brushed against the cheek, giving people a slightly itchy feeling.

This is what people call a good wife.

Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

When it comes to figure, there may not be anyone better than her among the domestic ship girls.

In terms of clothing, her daily kyudo uniform with a short skirt is indeed pleasing to the eye, but it is still a step away from being sexy.

Her personality is as gentle as water, and she always considers the commander in everything, which is her most attractive quality.

Which boy doesn’t like a beautiful girl who only has eyes for you and obeys your every word?

Lu Chen put one arm around Xianghe and gently stroked her soft long hair.

"Um....."

Shokaku sensed a subtle change and raised his head.

"Commander, I will follow you closely."

She spoke softly, with a hint of shyness and nervousness.

"Um."

Lu Chen thought, in fact, he had experienced many battles.

But in this case, it seems inappropriate to say this.

So he chose to respond and guide Shokaku with actions,

He always couldn't help but want to take care of this gentle and lovable little wife.

"Admiral, am I really going to be your partner?"

"We live and die together, and will never be separated?"

In the midst of the storm, Shokaku's voice sounded somewhat uncomfortable;

She really wanted to get a clear answer from him.

"Of course, from now on, you are my true partner."

The next morning, the sun shone on his eyelids, and Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Xianghe was still sleeping in his arms, her sleeping face was peaceful, and her scattered long hair looked like a beautiful painting, which made people feel itchy.

Lu Chen usually pays extra attention to these ship girls.

After all, their physical fitness is different from that of ordinary starships, and they will also feel tired and exhausted.

So he leaned against the head of the bed, opened a holographic interface, and started operating.

after awhile.

"Um?"

Xianghe opened his eyes half asleep and half awake, and saw Lu Chen and the interface in front of him.

"Admiral, what are you doing?"

"I am designing a new hull for you."

"We will be back soon, and we will transform you into a starship. I will help you design a ship first."

Although the hull designs of all ship girls must be reviewed by him, he always pays extra attention to his own fiancées and adds some unique design elements.

"Wow......"

Shokaku's eyes showed admiration.

No ship girl can resist the temptation of the admiral designing the ship for her! In any sense, this is an extremely romantic thing.

"What kind do you want? A type that is specialized for carrier-based aircraft, or one that has more main guns?"

Lu Chen smiled and patted Xianghe's head.

"In space, there is not much difference between a battleship and an aircraft carrier. You can also equip it with axis-based weapons and don't have to worry about close-range attacks from the enemy."

"Um......"

Xianghe snuggled up to Lu Chen's chest, looking at him intently.

"I will become whatever the admiral wants me to become."

"No need to do that, just choose the one you like."

Lu Chen pinched her cheek.

The two of them started choosing together.

"I want a white ship! Well, it would be better if I could be distinguished from Shokaku in Azure Port. Otherwise, I would always be mistaken for Shokaku and cause trouble for everyone."

“And the interior, well, I want to try a completely new style…”

Lu Chen patiently explained to Xianghe the function of each module and let her choose the transformation direction she liked.

It took them about an hour to finally finish the selection and sent the necessary materials to Bree so that they could prepare in advance.

Just as he was getting ready to get up, Shokaku noticed something else unusual.

"Commander, last night...you..."

"This is what happens when two Rubik's cubes are stacked together."

Lu Chen spread his hands to express his helplessness.

In order to let Shokaku have a good rest, he had to restrain himself.

"Well, this is indeed my negligence..."

Shokaku thought for a moment and decided that this was not a long-term solution.

Then she slipped out of bed noiselessly.

It didn't take long.

There was a knock on the door.

"Sister Shokaku?"

"Why didn't you come to have breakfast today? Are you feeling unwell? Or is there something wrong?..."

"We will continue to practice flying space carrier aircraft later..."

A girl with dark green hair and twin ponytails pushed open the door and walked in.

She is Zuikaku, and she belongs to the 5th Air Fleet together with Shokaku. They are inseparable and have keys to each other's rooms.

Ruihe walked into the bedroom and the first thing he saw was Lu Chen and the bulging quilt.

"Admiral? You are here too? Have you seen my sister? Akagi is looking for her too."

Zuikaku, with a confused look on his face, hadn't come to his senses yet and was standing there in a daze.

She sniffed the air and detected a scent she had never smelled before.

"Well, uh..."

"Ahem, well, I'm here, it's okay..."

Shokaku stuck his head out and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

“Sister, you?!”

Zuikaku immediately understood what was happening.

She had known about Shokaku's feelings for the Admiral, but she hadn't expected their relationship to develop so quickly.

She smiled a little embarrassedly, realizing that she might have intruded into a private scene, and quickly raised the shopping bag in her hand to try to ease the awkward atmosphere:

"Sister, do you want to have breakfast? I just bought it. It's made by the Donghuang ship girls. It's delicious."

The plastic bag contained soy milk and fried dough sticks, which were filled with fragrance. They were obviously the work of the two ship girls Ninghai and Pinghai.

Xianghe swallowed hard. Normally, she might give the soy milk a try, but today... forget it.

“Let me do it.”

Lu Chen stood up and took the breakfast.

Shokaku is sometimes unexpectedly bold, daring to try things that have never been tried before, and never wastes any effort.

If a ship girl like this were placed in the ancient dynasty, he would definitely flip Shokaku's cards every day.

A trace of resentment flashed across Xianghe's face.

"Admiral, you still play tricks on the shipgirls sometimes, right?"

"Right? It must be possible, right??!"
