Destroyer: Building a Dimensional Universe from Scratch

In the office of the naval base, the ship girls such as Formidable, Essex, and Grudge sat in their respective seats, sighing helplessly at the empty seats in the middle. It was nearly an hour beyond the normal working hours, and they had piles of documents in their hands waiting for the commander's approval.

Kewei lazily slumped over the table, her plump ship suit looking particularly eye-catching under the pressure. Someone couldn't help but tease: "Why hasn't the commander arrived yet?"

"I checked last night, and the commander did not return to his dormitory." Another ship girl interrupted.

Yuanchou fiddled with his hands and whispered, "I remember when I returned to the port after training last night, I seemed to see the commander and the flagship heading to the Free Iris dormitory together."

"Is this true?! The commander went to Richelieu's place to spend the night?!" Yuanchou's words caused an uproar, and all the ship girls blushed instantly.

"Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! How dare I say anything about the flagship, '950'? Besides, we're not in the same dormitory."

Just as the ship girls were whispering, the office door suddenly opened and Lu Chen walked in first, followed by Richelieu, Taiho and several other ship girls and heroic spirits.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Lu Chen said apologetically. Richelieu and Dafeng behind him seemed to be competing with each other secretly. After he sat down, they sat on both sides. Although their eyes were not friendly to each other, they looked at the commander with tenderness and affection.

"The Master came out of Richelieu's bedroom last night and was spotted by Taihou." An emotional storm instantly formed in the minds of the ship girls. They knew that neither of them was an easy task, and even under the constraints of the commander, they would inevitably compete with each other in private.

Seeing this, Richelieu stepped forward and announced: "From now on, I will be the commander's oath ship and secretary ship, and will continue to lead the Free Iris and Star Alliance fleets forward."

"In the name of freedom and glory, until the last moment of fighting, I solemnly swear to protect him and Free Iris with my life." Her words were solemn and full of pride, revealing an unshakable determination.

Richelieu believes that her relationship with the commander should be known to all the ship girls in the port area to declare the deep bond between them.

A touch of envy flashed in the eyes of Kewei, Yuanchou, Beifa and others. At first, they did not really regard Lu Chen as a commander, but only as a partner to work with. However, as time went by, Lu Chen showed many unexpected talents. He would lead them to explore the sea of ​​stars and complete the great cause that the flagships of the port area had not yet achieved.

Even the most demanding leaders, such as Enterprise and Bismarck, gradually recognized his status as a commander. The ship girls who had more contact with Lu Chen had some subtle emotional fluctuations in their hearts, especially after witnessing Richelieu's public declaration.

Befa secretly weighed the matter in her heart and concluded that Richelieu was indeed qualified. After all, she was a secretary ship, so it was natural for her to have a close relationship with the commander.

Saratoga quietly observed her surroundings and felt that there was a subtle distance between herself and Taiho, Koki, and Enmity. Taiho cast an admiring look at Richelieu, and Richelieu responded with a sharp look: "Your possessiveness is too strong, and sometimes it will have the opposite effect."

Da Feng seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, and looked at Lu Chen pitifully: "Commander, am I really that annoying..."

Lu Chen coughed, trying to calm down this subtle fight: "You two should get along well in the future. I'm in good health and can handle it."

"Go to the aircraft carrier today, go to the battleship tomorrow, and have a rest on the weekend." Lu Chen made arrangements.

Black Zhen's golden eyes moved between Lu Chen and the two ship girls, and she reminded them lightly: "Master, take it easy. If you really give birth to a bunch of little ship girls in the future, I will not help you raise the children."

When these words came out, all the ship girls were stunned. "Little ship girl... is it really possible?" Taiho asked expectantly.

Richelieu had a complicated expression and fell into deep thought. Lu Chen was also stunned, and then he opened the species atlas to look for the answer, but he could not find any relevant records on whether cross-species reproduction was possible.

"Hello, calling the system."

"Can a human and a ship girl give birth to a little ship girl? Or a human and a dragon girl give birth to a little dragon girl?"

[beep]

The system was silent for a while, then responded hesitantly: "In theory, different species cannot give birth to offspring through conventional means."

Lu Chen looked at the shipgirls, the heroic spirits, and the dragongirls in front of him. Although he felt a little regretful, he also felt that it was good news. In the following days, Lu Chen returned to his daily life, taking turns on the aircraft carrier and battleship, urging Gudako to learn magic - or magic. It is said that the magic skills mastered by Koya are more advanced than the Type-Moon system.

At the same time, he also taught Gudako how to fly the Gundam. Although Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed unreliable, he was actually quite smart. After constant practice, he quickly mastered the operation of the Zaku.

After a practice session, Gudako came to Lu Chen eager to try and proposed to drive a higher-level mecha: "Boss, can I try a higher-level mecha?"

She initially called Lu Chen "Commander", but later felt it was inappropriate, and calling him "Master" also felt awkward, so in the end she just called him "Boss".

"How's your magic going?" Lu Chen asked with concern. Gudako in front of him was still wearing the iconic Chaldea uniform - a white coat with a black skirt and black stockings.

Perhaps because he had been with Taiho, Richelieu and Koya for a long time, Lu Chen always felt that Gudako was slightly inferior in momentum.

"That dragon lady knows a lot. She can master most of Chaldea's magic at a glance. Even the third magic is only slightly difficult..."

Gudako scratched his head and continued, "I have mastered the basics, and also learned some basic spells from their world."

"In that case, let's try a higher-level machine."

Lu Chen thought about it and was originally worried that Gudako would go astray. Fortunately, with the help of Koya, he ensured that she could learn formal magic skills.

The maintenance lady was still supervising Bree's work. Several Gundams were neatly arranged in the room. In addition to the Strike Freedom driven by Lu Chen, the more powerful models included the Unicorn and Barbatos.

Lu Chen introduced the two machines one by one. The Unicorn was pure white, holding a shield and a high-energy rifle with an elegant posture; the Barbatos was blue, white and yellow, with a strong and powerful shape, and held a ten-meter-long giant sword in its hand.

Lu Chen was slightly surprised, and then helped Gudako into the cockpit. She waved at him excitedly: "I have never driven such an advanced Gundam before. What if I accidentally fall from the sky and die?"

"If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to Dr. Roman?" Gudako smiled slyly, as if she was acting coquettishly.

Lu Chen had no choice but to accompany Gudako into the cockpit. Although the Barbatos was a single-person cockpit, due to the large interior space and Gudako's petite figure, it was not a big problem for the two of them to ride together.

She sat next to Lu Chen, fiddling with the joystick and stabilizer excitedly.

"Inspect the aircraft and activate the propulsion device."

Lu Chen tapped her lightly. Unlike himself, Gudako could not summon the machine anytime and anywhere, so she could only drive it as an ordinary Gundam. Therefore, all driving techniques and combat skills needed to be learned from scratch.

As the hangar door opened, Barbatos activated its thrusters and a stream of plasma spurted out from behind it. Under the powerful thrust, the Gundam rushed into the sky at subsonic speed.

Gudako flies the Barbatos freely in the air, sometimes skimming close to the sea surface and splashing layers of waves, and sometimes making high-speed turns to avoid obstacles flexibly.

She is very skilled in the operation, and there is no sign that she was practicing magic in Chaldea not long ago. Her driving skills are comparable to those of the protagonists of mecha battle anime such as Kira, Yamato, and Mikazuki.

But the direction seemed to be off. Because she needed to be taught step by step how to operate the complex weapon system of the Barbatos, Gudako unknowingly sat on Lu Chen's thighs, and her arms were suddenly filled with a warm and soft feeling.

She seemed unaware and continued to swing her body wildly to control the Gundam, making Lu Chen feel quite embarrassed.

"Can you be a little quieter?" Lu Chen was about to speak up to remind them, but Gudako spoke up first.

"During my time in Chaldea, I have learned one thing: the more deeply you study magic, the more you will find that the Master's abilities are limited."

"What do you want to say?" Lu Chen had a feeling that the prelude to this sentence was familiar, and it might not be a good thing.

"I don't want to be a master anymore! Commander!!!" Gudako suddenly took action and cast a series of magic circles.

[Object structure enhancement]

[Speed ​​Enhancement]

[Reaction Enhancement]

[Self-spiritual strength enhancement]

Colorful enchantment effects appeared on the Barbatos body. Under the influence of magic, the body's structural strength and speed were unprecedentedly improved.

In an instant, a deafening sonic boom sounded in the air, and the Gundam was ejected at three times the cruising speed. It disappeared into the blue sky in the blink of an eye and rushed straight into outer space.

Under the extremely high acceleration, the two people in the cockpit swayed from side to side, almost unable to keep their bodies steady. Fortunately, the machine was supported by magic that strengthened its structure, so it remained intact.

"This is the new magic I learned. Isn't it awesome?!" Gudako turned around proudly and showed off.

Lu Chen couldn't help but knock her on the head: "So I asked you to learn magic from Koya, but you ended up learning only magic to strengthen the Gundam?!"
