"It's been taking so long and the problem hasn't been solved yet. Maybe there's something else going on. Why don't you go check it out? I'll stay here."

"Eh?" Xiao froze for a moment. "That's not appropriate, Commander. Just wait a moment. Hibiki will be able to handle it quickly."

"Is that so? But it's been a long time, right? How about I go and take a look?" Huang Chen's mouth curled up, "It would be bad if something unexpected happened..."

"Gu..." Xiao swallowed and said with a dry laugh, "Then I'll go."

As he spoke, he walked towards the outer corridor at a hurried pace.

The light in the corridor shone on the wooden boards of the outer hallway, forming a clear dividing line. Xiao crawled towards the dividing line and carefully pointed his toes towards the black part.

The next moment, a bright light suddenly appeared. Huang Chen was blinded by the sudden light. He only heard Xiao shout, "Commander, I will go ahead."

When I came to my senses, the little guy was gone.

Scratching his head, Huang Chen felt that his mood had improved a lot. However, after hearing Xiao talking about Xiang before, he thought that he should go and ask, after all, the issue of the note had not been resolved yet.

Judging from Akagi's current performance, is it impossible for him to be cautious no matter what?

I walked towards the second floor, and when I reached the stairs, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

When I looked up, I saw Enterprise's figure. She was still wearing a white navy coat, a black skirt and a white shirt underneath.

The Grim Reaper stood on her shoulder, looking quite heroic.

"You didn't go to the hot spring?" Huang Chen asked with some confusion.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the commander, "I've soaked it, but my own clothes are still more comfortable to wear."

Then she continued, "Commander, you've arrived just in time. I was just about to go talk to Amagi about the port construction. Commander, would you like to come with me?"

"Construction and so on..." Huang Chen had a headache. He had been planning to discuss these things tomorrow, but now that the company had brought it up, he couldn't be lazy.

As for Akagi, let’s put it aside for now.

The two arrived at Amagi's room. When the door opened, they saw a Japanese-style room that looked empty, with only a table placed in a corner. Amagi was standing at the door in surprise, "I didn't expect the Master and Enterprise to come here now."

Huang Chen walked into the room and found that there were still some signs of life here, such as the marks on the tatami, which should have been left by things placed there for a long time.

"This time we are mainly here to discuss the issues concerning port construction, as well as some sisterly issues." Enterprise said casually standing in a corner of the room.

Tiancheng nodded. "Since the Lord is so interested, as a subject, I naturally have no choice but to offer advice. May I ask, Lord, do you have a plan for the reconstruction of the port area?"

"Contingency plan." Huang Chen thought about it. This was an issue he had discussed with the company before. "I plan to go to the college."

"College?" Tiancheng nodded slightly. "That's a feasible plan. What about the planning for the port area before graduation?"

Huang Chen was about to answer when he was suddenly stunned and discovered a problem that he had previously overlooked.

It seems that we have only discussed with enterprises how to rebuild the port area before, as if we can get the port area immediately after going to the college, but there seems to be no planning for the period between now and the reconstruction of the port area.

……

Less than 300 kilometers away from Eldburg, Snorlaan is a small coastal city. On the edge of the city, there is an abandoned pier.

A large building had been built on the abandoned embankment at some point, and three girls were standing at the door of the building.

One of them was a girl with black hair and red hairpin, wearing a fiery red kimono and a golden phoenix hairpin, and she shouted angrily towards the building:

"Me again, why is it always me! I don't want to go to that guy's place!"

At this moment, a girl in a white kimono walked out of the building. Her brown hair was tied in a ponytail and she had a smile on her face. "It can't be helped. After all, you won the lottery."

"If you have the guts to let your sister and I draw cards, then let us do it!" The girl outside the door said dissatisfiedly.

"Next time, next time for sure!" the girl with the ponytail said nonchalantly. "This time, please inform them, Dafeng!"

Then he looked at the other two girls who were covering their mouths and laughing softly, "Thank you for your help, Mogami and Mikuma."

Chapter 114 The Enterprise is about to start

Huang Chen was a little stunned. Before he could answer, he heard the enterprise say calmly, "Before the port area is established, all plans can be suspended."

"What does pause mean?" Huang Chen was a little confused, with some unspeakable emotions in his heart. So you have already considered it?

Am I the only one who didn't think of this?

"That's it right now. No battles, no drills, no honing of skills or levels, no consideration of commissions, etc." Enterprise said.

"That's fine." Tiancheng nodded slightly. "Then, does the master have a plan to find his former companions?"

"Wait a moment." Huang Chen waved his hand to attract their attention. He still hadn't figured out the question, "How long does it take to study at Commander Academy?"

"One year of classes in college, one year of internship, and then one year of port construction, which takes about three years." The enterprise was stunned, but still answered.

Huang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he took a breath of cold air, realizing that the problem he had completely ignored before was not a small problem.

In three years, at his current speed, he might have found all the ship girls, right?

Even if not many ship girls were found in three years, where do so many ship girls live now?

There are already more than 40 ship girls in the nursing home, and there were more than 10 ship girls in Amagi just now, a total of nearly 60 people. Where should they live?

When I was discussing this with Enterprise at the nursing home, I had no idea that I had a lot of KanColles. I subconsciously thought that I could just find an apartment or something.

But after interacting with many ship girls in the nursing home these days, I found that when there are more people, there are more things to do. With nearly sixty ship girls, their daily lives have become a big problem.

With so many shipgirls, it already far exceeds most port areas in the world. Even if the few factors mentioned by the enterprise are not taken into consideration, what about entertainment? What about rest?

I can't just buy another retirement home, right? It doesn't even have hot water, and the real estate near the Commander Academy isn't as cheap as these places.

If you must buy it, you might as well consider the company's previous suggestion of buying a small island and rebuilding the port area.

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to rebuild the port area after finishing my studies at the academy.

"Wait a minute, let's discuss the previous question in detail." Huang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I say, if I go to the Commander Academy, where will so many of us live?"

The company said without hesitation, "Just rent a house."

"Can we rent one?" Huang Chen asked, "We have nearly 60 people now. What if we find new companions in the future? Is there such a large place near the academy?"

"After all, there are many variables in three years."

"Commander, do you want to establish a separate port area?" Enterprise understood what Huang Chen meant.

"Establishing a separate port area requires careful consideration." Tiancheng said, thinking with his head down.

Huang Chen shook his head. "Is it possible that I build the port area first and then go to the academy?"

Everyone was speechless. What are you trying to do?

"Didn't Enterprise say before that he still has some old friends at the KanColle headquarters in Area C? They know our port area." Huang Chen said.

"Yes, if we build a separate port area, we can join the Kancolle headquarters without going through the academy." Enterprise nodded.

"Is that so?" Huang Chen suddenly felt a little regretful. He actually wanted to go to the academy. But the reconstruction of the port area obviously couldn't wait until he graduated, so it had to be done earlier.

"How about this, we'll prioritize rebuilding the port area," Huang Chen said. "As for whether or not to go to the academy, I'm still going to go, depending on the situation."

"Hey, Enterprise, can you contact our old friend in Area C first? Ask about things in the port area." Huang Chen continued. Sometimes he really wanted to know which old friend it was.

Everyone nodded, and the original plan was changed again.

Then they discussed many issues about the port area, including how to deal with the hot springs here, how to buy boat tickets when the routes are blocked, and clues about some sisters in Tiancheng.

And all of the above, Tiancheng has already made plans in advance

Due to time constraints, the above issues were only discussed in general terms and a general direction was drawn up. The details still need to be discussed in detail, but that is a matter for the future. Huang Chen and Qiye said goodbye to Tiancheng and returned to their own rooms.

As the two of them walked down the stairwell, Enterprise suddenly asked nonchalantly, "Did Akagi run into the men's bath earlier?"

"Hmm!" Huang Chen was a little surprised at how the company knew about this. Weren't there only three people present? How could the secret of three people be leaked in less than an hour?

"Who told you that?" He didn't deny it.

"No one?" Enterprise shook his head. "I saw it earlier. First, Akagi ran in, then Amagi, and then Amagi and Akagi left together."

"Well..., she came in, but nothing happened." Huang Chen felt a little embarrassed and explained.

"I don't care about these." Enterprise turned his head and looked at Huang Chen. His purple eyes were faintly fluorescent, and there was still a confident smile on the corner of his mouth. With the Grim Reaper on his shoulder, he looked quite handsome.

"Akagi and Amagi are also marriage ships. Even if Akagi's personality is... a little strange, I believe she would not do anything to harm the commander."

"Then I have nothing to worry about."

Enterprise said slowly.

Huang Chen looked at the girl in front of him with some confusion, not quite understanding her intentions. "So, what are you saying...?"

"I just want to say..." Enterprise looked at the commander in front of him and suddenly shook his head, "Nothing... Anyway, I think the commander should care about this."

As she spoke, she took out a notebook that Tiancheng had given her before. It contained some clues about the sisters she once knew. She pointed to a page and said, "It's possible that we can find a few more sisters this time."

Huang Chen was a little puzzled, but Qiye seemed to no longer want to talk about what happened before, so he looked in the direction of Qiye's finger and saw a name written at the tip of Qiye's finger, "Dafeng".

So he immediately started to sweat coldly. Akagi hadn't been dealt with yet, so how come Taiho appeared?

And is it possible that we will meet again in this city?

"According to Amagi, Taiho is with Zuikaku and Shokaku, along with some other sisters, in a city very close to here."

"Due to time constraints, we haven't told them yet that the commander has returned."

"I'm preparing to send a letter these days."

"I know Dafeng's personality... is a bit quirky, and I'm afraid the Commander might be concerned," Enterprise said. "So I'm telling you in advance."

Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was not in this city and didn't even know that the commander had returned. It was not a big problem as there was still a buffer period.

Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, he looked up and suddenly found Enterprise looking at him dimly. "Commander, I suddenly realized that I still care a little."

Chapter 115: Being stood up?

"What do you care about?" Huang Chen asked subconsciously, and then immediately realized that the enterprise was talking about the previous incident in Akagi.

He suddenly felt awkward, "Why don't we go take a bath now - the hot springs are probably still hot."

"That's not what I meant." Enterprise looked around. Now the two of them were on the second floor of the stairs, and other people might appear at any time.

"I..." Enterprise seemed a little hesitant, "Bumblebee always said that my sister Yorktown and I weren't straightforward enough."

"Actually, I feel fine. Commander, are you free tonight?"

"At night? Before going to bed, it's quite..."

"I mean after sleeping." Enterprise suddenly came close to Huang Chen, and the latter could almost see the tiny hairs on the delicate face of the ship girl and the blood vessels under the skin - do ship girls also have these?

But then he realized that the company had asked a very serious question, and looked at the girl in front of him with some astonishment.

Although she is called the Gray Ghost, and is a leader among the ship girls who possess extraordinary powers, she is invincible and has won countless victories for the port area, but Enterprise's expression is not as calm as when she is galloping on the sea and drawing her bow.

Rather, this unique war reminded Enterprise of her first time on the battlefield—she was just as nervous then, or perhaps not half as nervous as she is now.

She looked at the man in front of her. He was her commander and the man she had entrusted her life to. They had signed an eternal vow under the witness of the sea - and now she wanted to take her relationship with him to the next level.

"Commander?" Enterprise asked almost aggressively. Seeing the commander's hesitant look, she was very puzzled.

Is it the wrong timing? Surely, things like this should be discussed in the room?

"This..." Huang Chen didn't know how to explain. Should he tell you that he had an appointment with Chicheng tonight?

To be honest, he was still conflicted about Akagi. After all, he had just met Akagi today, and he hoped to have at least some time to deepen their relationship.

But he was also a little afraid that Akagi would cut him into pieces and carry them around.

"Why didn't you come to see me earlier?" he thought to himself, but he couldn't say it out loud. "How about tomorrow night? I'm a little tired today and want to rest early."

"Tired?" Enterprise's purple eyes were filled with confusion. "If you're tired, shouldn't you just take a break? Isn't sleeping with me also a form of rest?"

"Ok?"

"What? Commander, what are you thinking about?" Enterprise was still a little confused.

Huang Chen grinned and found that he seemed to have thought too much. Suddenly, he heard footsteps downstairs. He turned around and saw Akagi and Kaga.

"Ah, Enterprise, what are you talking about with the Commander?" Akagi covered his mouth and chuckled.

Kaga just stood silently behind Akagi, greeted Huang Chen and said nothing.

"Nothing." Enterprise was a little surprised, but he didn't intend to explain anything. "What can I do for you?"

"Hehe~" The big red fox still stood at the bottom of the stairs and didn't come up. "Akagi just happened to see the commander coming over and said hello. By the way, I remind the commander not to forget our previous agreement."
