Azur Lane Under the Stars

But these little guys came up with a really clever idea; they're quite resourceful.

"Hmm, you guys are on the same page as us."

Ying Rui spoke frankly and openly about it.

"Hey! Wasn't it forbidden to say that?!"

Zhao He became flustered and subconsciously looked at Ren Shuo, afraid that Ren Shuo would be unhappy.

"You too?" Javelin exclaimed in surprise.

Then she thought about how the commander had spent the whole day with them, which was practically a date.

He immediately felt frustrated: "I'm still too late."

"Hmm, it's not late, it's only half a day, there's still the afternoon." Ying Rui said with a smile.

Zhao He nudged Ying Rui: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Well, my dear sister, you know, since someone has already brought this up, the Commander will eventually think of it too. It's better to just say it directly; it's more magnanimous. Besides, it's not something that's hard to talk about."

Ying Rui spoke fluently, completely oblivious to Ren Shuo's increasingly strange expression.

Honestly, Yingrui, if you hadn't exposed yourself like this, I would have really thought you guys just wanted to slack off and that's why you asked me to hang out.

But in Ying Rui's eyes, look, with the two sisters supporting each other, they invite you on a date and a picnic. This cooking competition is also a way for them to showcase their feminine strength as sisters.

If the three starter families hadn't come looking for them, then in the afternoon, the commander would have been shown their dance rehearsal. What do you call that? That's called showcasing the talents of wives. And, well, their flexibility in dancing is excellent.

Right?

In short, it involves spending a whole day showcasing your strengths to the commander.

It's a pity that there are other people who think the same way we do.

"You little guys are really amazing."

Dunkirk, who had been watching the spectacle, couldn't help but clap his hands and chuckle, marveling at the sight.

"Hehe, Sister Dunkirk, you flatter us. We don't have your slender figures, so we have to try other methods~"

Ying Rui responded.

Seeing that things had already been discussed openly, Javelin said directly to Ren Shuo, "Commander! Please consider Nimi-chan!"

Then, under Z23's somewhat reluctant gaze, he forcibly pulled Nimi up and showed her to Ren Shuo.

"Commander, look at that figure! It's quite curvaceous for a destroyer. And look at those legs! Do you remember when Nimi-chan made a cameo appearance as a teacher? Those black stockings!"

While introducing the javelin, he touched and demonstrated it here and there, looking every bit like a salesman, completely unaware that Z23's face was flushed red and his eyes were like mosquito coils, as if boiling water was about to boil on his head.

Ayanami looked at Javelin strangely: "Your movements and tone... anyone who didn't know better would think you were selling pork..."

Lafite nodded: "Yes!"

The javelin stopped awkwardly, seemingly a bit embarrassed. It was as if it was introducing its own weapon to the "guest" (commander) while simultaneously demonstrating its superiority…

That's an incredibly vivid description.

Dunkirk was laughing so hard he was practically slumped over the table, panting heavily.

"Anyway, that's the gist of it. What do you think, Commander?"

Javelin's expression turned serious as he asked.

Yes, Sister Da Feng and the others are all straightforward in their approach to pressuring people to get married, so I'm sure I'll win them over this time.

"First of all, I have a question," Ren Shuo said after a moment of silence.

"Commander, please ask." Javelin felt that she carried the weight of her sisters' lifelong happiness on her shoulders, and appeared very serious.

"This proposal must be made by both parties when they are both sober and face-to-face; it cannot be done by someone else, right?"

Javelin looked at Ren Shuo strangely: "Of course."

“Well… I think we can do it another day… You can look back at Nimi.”

Ren Shuo was both amused and exasperated.

Javelin then realized what was happening and looked at Nimi's expression. She saw that Z23 had fainted from embarrassment, her eyes unfocused. If Javelin hadn't been holding her hand and Ayanami hadn't been supporting her from behind, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"Haha, this is hilarious! A friend proposed to his girlfriend, and the person involved almost fainted... Pfft."

Dunkirk can no longer stand up.

"Waaaah! Nimi! Nimi, wake up, Nimi! Victory is just around the corner!" Javelin frantically grabbed Z23's shoulders and began to shake him.

But Z23 just won't wake up.

Ren Shuo sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead: "Let's take Nimi-chan to the goddess of the hearth first..."

Ren Shuo picked up Z23 in a princess carry around her waist, then said to Dunkirk, "Sorry, I'll take her there first."

"Nimi, cheer up!" Javelin jumped around on the side.

Isn't this girl a little too energetic?

Ren Shuo was lost in thought when he led the three families away for the time being.

Zhao was dumbfounded. How did the cooked duck fly away?

Then she asked hesitantly, "What should we do?"

Ying Rui smiled knowingly: "Isn't this quite interesting? Let's follow them!"

After saying that, he followed. Zhao He didn't know what to do either, so he simply went along too.

Dunkirk slowly tidied the table, talking to himself as he did so.

"Hmm, this is quite lively. If it's this lively on the Commander's side, I wonder if Enterprise is having an even bigger headache~"

…………

Leaving aside the company, Ren Shuo brought Z23, who was already in a state of mental breakdown, to the clinic of the Goddess of the Hearth.

Behind him followed a group of people who cared about the Z23, as well as onlookers.

The goddess of the hearth was astonished when she saw the large group of people.

"what happened?"

Javelin hurriedly said, "Sister Vessel Goddess, please take a look. I don't know why Nimi-chan is like this..."

Ayanami covered Javelin's mouth again and said, "Shut up... It's nothing, she's probably just too shy. Commander, take her to rest for a bit."

"Oh, that's not a big deal. Just put it on the bed over there, it'll be fine in a bit."

Seeing this situation, the goddess of the hearth also had her own thoughts and said something.

Ren Shuo placed it there, and then the others quickly surrounded it.

Then, after thinking for a moment and feeling a little uneasy, he turned to Ren Shuo and said, "Commander, you are not allowed to leave."

"I know, I know, I'll wait for Nimi to wake up," Ren Shuo said.

"Commander, what about us?"

Zhao He and Ying Rui asked.

"You guys? Stay too. You all have the same idea anyway, and you can even have more exchanges."

Ren Shuo made a joke.

"Hmm, but waiting like this is really boring..."

Ying Rui took off her little leather shoes, revealing her delicate feet covered in white. They were small, exquisite, and very cute. With a slight jump, she casually sat down on the bed next door.

"Won't we disturb you?" Ren Shuo asked.

The female Kitchen Goddess nodded: "Don't worry, basically no one will come to my place. There have been any drills or anything recently, so it's good that you're here to add some popularity to my area."

"Um, Sister Goddess of the Hearth, do you have any Lafite wine here...?"

Raffi tugged at the hem of the goddess of the hearth and asked.

The goddess of the hearth pointed a finger at Lafite's head with an annoyed look: "What are you thinking about? Drinking first thing in the morning? No way!"

"It's not early morning anymore, it's noon now, so can we drink alcohol?" Lafite argued.

"If you keep doing this, I'll get your boss to take care of you."

Lafite shrank back, thinking, "Letting a company that takes things to such an extreme manage me... I'd better not."

"We don't have any wine, but I do have some fine black tea and some snacks that I just brought over. Would you like some?"

The female kitchen god rummaged through chests and cabinets and found many good things.

Where did you get these things?

Ren Shuo was shocked. The female Kitchen Goddess didn't really like these things, so she usually only bought ordinary ones, but these were all very expensive.

"Hehe, companies now hold the ultimate power, so many are coming to me to take a roundabout approach to achieve their goals."

The goddess of the hearth looked very happy, as she herself had also received quite a few benefits.

"I think those people might have picked the wrong target? York City wedding ship is one thing, but you're not a wedding ship..."

Ren Shuo looked at the female stove god with suspicion.

The female hearth goddess also found it somewhat amusing: "So, I really don't know what they're thinking. Are they so sure I won't ask the company for things? I want them too!"

“So, Commander, why don’t we get things done while we’re on my home turf?” the goddess of the hearth teased.

Ren Shuo quickly stepped on the brakes: "Wait, don't drive, there's a little one here."

"Hmph, these little ones know far more than you think. It's alright," said the goddess of the hearth.

"So it means... these gifts are like throwing meat buns to a dog—gone and never to be returned?"

Lafite tilted his head and suddenly realized.

The goddess of the hearth walked expressionlessly to Raffi's side, pinching Raffi's fair face: "Isn't it this mouth? Isn't it this mouth that's spouting nonsense here?"

Who are you calling a dog?

"Alright, children say the darndest things," Ren Shuo quickly said.

"Humph."

The goddess of the hearth released Raffi, who, wearing a mask of pain, scrunched up her little face and went to the side to rub her cheeks, which had been pinched red.

"Commander, Commander! Nimi-chan is awake!"

Her voice rang out with a hint of surprise. Ren Shuo also stood up and walked to Z23's bedside, where he saw Z23 gradually opening her eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"Where is this? What happened? Why are you all gathered here?"

The moment I wake up, I'm faced with three philosophical questions.

Chapter 623 Z23: This time, I must win.

As we all know, when your emotions reach a certain extreme, it can cause cerebral congestion and fainting.

The Z23 is an example of this.

Overwhelmed with shame, she lost her temper and collapsed.

I vaguely felt someone holding me, which made me feel very safe.

Then, as I gradually woke up, I found it very noisy around me. When I opened my eyes, I saw several faces looking down at me.

It looked like it was saying, "My friend, you're awake!" It was quite frightening.

"what's the situation?"

Z23 was so startled that he scrambled to his feet, his face filled with lingering fear.

"Z23, is there anything that's bothering you...? Everyone, please move aside so the patient can have good ventilation and air."

The female kitchen goddess disdainfully pushed the little creatures aside.

"Hmm, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere... What's wrong with me?"
