The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

Although Bumblebee and Essex had traveled around the world in search of the Commander, they had never experienced such a long passenger ship journey as this one.

As a ship girl, most of the time I choose to sail there by myself.

As a result, the girl, who was already lively and active, became even more impatient and had to use sleep to pass the time.

"Let me see if there are any other commanders on this ship!" Huang Chen looked around as if he was looking for someone.

"That shouldn't be the case. This is a safe sea area and there aren't many commanders here," Essex explained.

"But generally speaking, there will always be two commanders in this kind of situation." Huang Chen touched his chin, recalling the plot of the novel he had read in his previous life.

"A comedic senior and a serious junior. Generally speaking, the senior already has his own port area and is a genuine African who hates Europeans."

"This junior is probably a student at a Command Academy, but he's already showing some potential as an Ooal Gow."

"Then they would stand by the deck railing and chat about their commanders, ship girls, and their strange XP."

"What is the commander talking about?" Essex was a little confused and bewildered, and spoke seriously, as if he had really seen it.

But there really is no commander on this ship?

And what about seniors and juniors...

"Nothing, just some thoughts." Huang Chen shook his head. After all, reality and fiction are different, and he was just thinking about it.

"Look, what kind of ship girl is that?" He pointed to a place not far ahead on the sea. About half a mile in front of the cruise ship, a small wave rose up and a slender figure could be seen.

That's the ship escorting the cruise ship.

Even in safe waters, there is no danger at all. Advanced humanoid sirens are naturally unlikely to appear, but ordinary sirens still exist.

There are ports and naval bases along the route, but the safety of the cruise ship cannot be completely left to them, and escort ship girls are also necessary.

"Judging from the ship's equipment, it's probably a heavy cruiser." Essex stared at the figure.

"Can't see it specifically?" Huang Chen was a little surprised.

"There are so many heavy cruisers, how can we tell them apart from some special ones?" Essex felt a little aggrieved.

"This ship's escort ship is only a heavy cruiser!" Huang Chen didn't have any other intentions. He just asked the question out of habit, and now his mind has shifted to other places.

"This ship has three escorting ships, one heavy cruiser, one destroyer and one light cruiser. Is that enough?" he asked again in confusion.

"What's enough?"

"The power of the ship girls? If that's all, the combat effectiveness is not enough, right?" Huang Chen explained. According to the classification in the game, these are the front row and cannot attack at all, right?

"Why not? The safe sea area is also called the retirement sea area. Sirens rarely appear there. Even if they do, they can be dealt with by ordinary expulsion."

"A destroyer, light cruiser, and heavy cruiser configuration is already quite suitable, enough to handle many emergencies." Essex pursed his lips. "Besides, the heavy cruiser's firepower is already quite strong. Many tutelary forts don't even have heavy cruisers!"

"Not even a heavy cruiser? A garrison?" Huang Chen was shocked. This was too tragic, wasn't it? Although he had a premonition, but not even a heavy cruiser...

"I used to think all the ports in this world were the same as ours!" Essex sighed as he spoke of this topic. "Later, I realized we were the outliers. Some tutelary forts even had only a few destroyers."

"Expel?" Huang Chen was shocked. It was not ruled out that there were many powerful people among those expelled, but a garrison only had expulsion?

"It's completely enough to stay in safe waters. We don't even launch an attack in places like this once a year."

"Is that so!" Huang Chen sighed. If that was the case, if he could find his ship girl, wouldn't it become one of the best ports in the world?

"I heard you talk about the port area and the naval base. Is there any difference between the two?" Shaking his head and throwing away the idea, Huang Chen continued to ask. The ship girl hasn't come back yet, and it's too far-fetched to think about these things.

"Port areas are relatively large, usually in cities, with many ship girls. Some have only one commander, while others have multiple. Naval bases are smaller, located along the coast. Generally, a port area can be called a port area if there are twelve ship girls."

"Yes, our previous port area was a very powerful port area." A vibrant voice suddenly came from the side, and with a slight tilt of the head, golden hair could be seen flying.

It's Bumblebee.

Behind her, a bald eagle flapped its wings and glided over, landing on the guardrail and staring at everyone blankly.

"Why don't you sleep?" Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"We're almost at the shore. I have to go down and take a walk. I'm almost bored!" said Bumblebee excitedly.

It was still early spring and the weather was quite cold, but Bumblebee was only wearing a simple dark T-shirt and shorts, leaving her fair and slender thighs exposed to the air. Although she was wearing a coat, it was redundant decoration and probably could not keep her warm.

You know, Huang Chenke is still wearing a cotton coat!

"Are we going to dock again? This is the third city, right?" Huang Chen was a little surprised. He didn't pay much attention to the voyage.

"Yes, it will stop in Silk City in about an hour and stay for a day," Essex explained.

"So long?" Huang Chen was surprised. The first two cities only stopped for three hours, but here it actually stopped for a whole day?

"Silk is a big city. And the cruise ship needs to rest."

"That's great, let's go down and take a walk. This ship is too stuffy." Huang Chen nodded. It's a luxury cruise ship with everything, even five restaurants and an open-air swimming pool. But they have been here for more than a week and are tired of everything.

I bought a few books before boarding the ship, but I couldn't get into any of them. Some of the games I played were also boring.

All in all, I'm in this weird and boring state where I'm bored and want to find something to do, but I don't want to do anything.

"Commander, don't you want to meet other commanders? There is a port area in Silk, we can go and take a look." Essex suggested.

"Ah? The port area?" Huang Chen was stunned, then realized that his previous complaints had been misunderstood by Essex, so he explained, "I didn't..."

But then I thought about it and was really curious about what the port area was like. "Can I just go and see the port area?"

"Of course not for ordinary people, but it is okay for commanders to be guests of each other."

"I'm not the official commander, am I?" Huang Chen said with a smile, a little hesitant, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

"What's so good about other people's harbors? They're not even as big as ours anyway!" Bumblebee said disdainfully. "Commander, let's go play in the city! Silk's meat patties and pickled sardines are especially delicious!"

"Everyone can go and take a look. After all, there is only one day!" Huang Chen did not refuse. The cruise ship will dock for one day, so there is plenty of time.

Chapter 014: Salvaging Ships is a Commander's Nature

Silk City is the largest port city in Zone J.

Naturally, the J-zone's ship girl headquarters and port area are located here. In addition, there is also the Azure Maritime Bureau that coordinates the relationship between commanders, ship girls and the human government.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of free ship girls in this city. Although it is still not as good as the level of the three major academies, it is still much more than that of ordinary port cities.

However, if a ship girl does not use her ship suit, she is almost the same as a human girl, except that she looks more youthful and beautiful.

Therefore, ordinary people will not feel that they are surrounded by ship girls.

In other words, if you don’t enter the circle of free ship girls, it’s not easy to see ship girls even in Silk.

In Silk's circle of free ship girls, there are many popular small shops, such as the supply store opened by a Shiranui, the fishing tackle store opened by an Abukuma, and the dessert shop opened by a Dunkirk.

It is nine o'clock in the morning, the sun is high in the sky, and most businesses have already opened.

But the reason why Kancolle opened a shop was more due to her personality than to making money. She just wanted to find something interesting to do.

As a result, most Dunkirks in the world will have a dessert shop, just as most Yatsens in the world will have a restaurant.

Opening the glass door and flipping the status sign at the door over to show 'OPEN', the pink-haired girl looked expressionlessly at the parasols across the street and glared back at the young men who were about to make a move.

"Oh~oh~oh~, pink hair, so beautiful, big breasts and long legs, she is indeed a ship girl!" A young man became obviously excited and almost stood up and rushed into the dessert shop.

"Calm down!" An older young man beside him calmly sipped his drink. "If you rush like this, everyone will know you're trying to salvage the boat, which will only make people resentful and lose the initiative!"

Hearing this, the young man suddenly understood. He forced himself to sit down and looked aside with a solemn expression, "Senior Wang, please give me some advice!"

The other young men nearby also suppressed their eagerness and turned their attention to Senior Wang.

"It's not really about giving me advice." Senior Wang smiled calmly. "Let me ask you, what kind of ship girl was that just now?"

"This is Dunkirk's shop. Could it be Dunkirk? No, Dunkirk has silver-white hair, and that ship girl has pink hair." One person said.

"It's most likely a Vichy ship, as it's with the Dunkirk. With such a good shape, it must be a battleship! Could it be La Galissonnière?" said another man wearing glasses.

Everyone nodded.

"Not necessarily. What if it's a destroyer? The first of the Walkeran-class large destroyers, Tartu. It also has pink hair and a great figure." Another person voiced disapproval.

Everyone looked over, and suddenly someone shouted, "Kong Tian, it really is you! How could anyone think of a destroyer?"

Then everyone's faces changed, they looked terrified, and they quietly distanced themselves from Kong Tian.

"What's wrong with a destroyer? The destroyer is the best in the world!" Kong Tian was not afraid at all and responded tit for tat.

"Cough!" Senior Wang coughed quietly, slightly changing the angle of his face, but moving further away from Kong Tian.

"Yuan Cheng is right. That's La Galissonnière! Do you know who she is?"

"Identity?" Everyone was silent, and Kong Tian did not continue to argue.

Awakened by humans from the memory of steel, the ship girls themselves are an embodiment of the beautiful emotions of mankind. They are born with knowledge and a complete worldview.

It’s like all the Akashis in the world are profiteers, and all the Dunkirks in the world are pastry chefs who also serve as paladins.

The personalities of ship girls who inherit the same battleship soul are always similar, with unique memories or identities.

Although there may be changes after a long time, the basic color will not change.

This is the identity of the ship girl.

Such knowledge is naturally required to be learned and tested in the Commander Academy, but... such knowledge can only exist in the mind for two weeks.

Disappeared the moment the exam was over.

After all, there are so many ship girls in the world, and many commanders only have two or three when they retire. Is there any need to remember so many?

I think about it in my heart, but I can't get it.

It’s better to forget it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Of course, this is the idea of a poor student. For the top students, everything in the classroom needs to be engraved in their minds with a knife. La Galissonnière, from the Vichy Church, is easy to remember.

"Inquisitor of the Holy See!" Yuan Cheng pushed his glasses, and white light reflected on the lenses.

After hearing Yuan Cheng's words, everyone gasped.

Even though they were born out of humankind's beautiful expectations, ship girls often have strange personalities, such as Ajax, Akagi, Ron and others.

La Galissonnier was one of them. As a light cruiser of the Vichy Church, she had a personality that judged everything by the question of "Is it interesting?"

On the surface, she looks like a pink-haired girl with twin tails who is bored and tedious about everything, but her actual job cannot be made public.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she has done this before, using a series of questions, accusations, and even torture to force people to confess their guilt and then pass sentence.

The nature of ship girls also determines that they will not do this.

But her personality determines that when facing strangers, she will always speak sharply and show no mercy.

Coupled with her personality of judging everything by the question "Is it interesting?", this is undoubtedly one of the ship girls that commanders don't want to face.

If you go up to salvage the boat, you might end up in the Inquisition if you're not careful.

Everyone looked hesitant, but some were eager to try.

"Senior Wang, this..." someone said bitterly.

"Afraid?" Senior Wang said calmly, "We're trying to salvage the boat. We have to face thorns and brambles, and we have to go through many twists and turns. We need the courage to persevere even if there are thousands of people against us. Are you afraid of this? How can we salvage the boat then?"

Everyone was silent.

"Of course, I know you're all new here, so it's not appropriate for you to face such a challenge right from the start." Senior Wang changed the subject and said, "Look at that dessert shop!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked over, and then someone said in surprise, "There are actually three more ship girls?"

Behind the counter of the dessert shop, there were three ship girls sitting. One of them had long white hair, and her entire face was lying on the counter, forming an oval.

Another girl with short pink hair was holding a book.

There was also a girl with long pink hair, playing with something in her hands.

"Three ship girls, plus La Galissonniere who opened the door earlier and Dunkirk who didn't show up, so doesn't that mean there are five ship girls here?" someone exclaimed.

Everyone's eyes also became hot.

Was this why the senior had brought them here? This small dessert shop was actually filled with hidden talents, with a whopping five shipgirls.

"Hey! Calm down!" Senior Wang said, "There are only five ship girls, and you're so excited? Haven't you seen so many ship girls outside the academy?"

"And they are all companions of La Galissonnière. Are you sure you can fish them out?"

"Then, Senior Wang, why did you bring us here?"
