Azur Lane Under the Stars

Good grief, another sister brand? Are they trying to salvage a ship? Get ready.

"Aren't you afraid that your boss will be tricked into coming to our port by Littorio?" Duke Abruzzi asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"So what if they're fished out? I'll be wherever the boss is." Giuseppe seemed quite indifferent.

The ship girls in the drama troupe have come and gone in waves. The troupe leader never forbids ship girls from leaving once they have found a good home. In fact, if the troupe leader knows of any good homes or places to go, he will take the initiative to make connections.

That's quite generous.

The problem is that the eldest sister doesn't look down on most port areas, so she's considered an "old maid" in the group.

"Well, to be honest, I do hope your commander will step up his game and take down Big Sister."

Giuseppe squinted and suddenly said.

Duke Abruzzi and Joffre exchanged a glance, seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. Was this... enough to win over this girl?

…………

Where is the commander they're hoping will be more effective right now? What is he doing?

Yes, I've once again found myself in a truly chaotic situation.

Ren Shuo was sandwiched in the middle, with Da Fengfeng on his left, who was grinding her teeth and looking indignant, and Xiang He on his right, who was covering her mouth and chuckling.

Then there were Xiangruiou and Ruihe, who were just watching the show from the sidelines.

"So, why are you fighting again?" Ren Shuo asked.

"Commander, you have to stand up for me! Your wife, Da Fengfeng, has been bullied again."

Before Shoukaku could even speak, Daihoufeng started sobbing and complaining.

"Don't cry... Shoukaku, don't laugh either. What exactly did you two start fighting about?"

Ren Shuo was well aware of Taihou's limitations. When faced with any ship girl other than Nagato, Mikasa, and Amagi, she would cause trouble for no reason and then start whining and complaining to him.

No matter how you make Shoukaku angry, she'll always start making sarcastic remarks with a smile.

Until you break down and are about to take action, that's when you team up with your sister to start a righteous two-on-one fight.

"This guy said your Da Fengfeng is an unlucky person!" Da Fengfeng gritted her teeth, her phoenix eyes glaring as she stared intently at certain people.

Shoukaku calmly retorted, "I only said your luck stat isn't as high as mine, I didn't call you an 'unlucky person.' While your luck is indeed low, why would I call my companion an 'unlucky person'? Besides, in this port's marriage ship, as your 'older sister,' I wouldn't call my younger sister an 'unlucky person' either~"

"Commander! Look at her!"

Da Feng was furious and wanted to pounce on her and scratch her, but Ren Shuo was quick and grabbed Da Feng's waist.

"Taihou! Calm down, calm down!"

If you go for it, I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death by her and Zuikaku together. Didn't you see Zuikaku has already pulled out her knife?

"Xianghe, you should say less." Ren Shuo was speechless.

He finally understood: you two are both highly skilled, and your luck is about the same. Who has the nerve to criticize whom?

"So, Commander, who has the higher luck stat? Tell me!" Prinz Eugen was very happy and immediately stirred things up.

"Yes, Commander, you said you would choose your beloved Taihou, right?"

After Dafeng finished speaking, a hint of seductiveness appeared in her eyes. She pressed herself against Ren Shuo and gave Xianghe a provocative look.

Xianghe was not annoyed and continued to smile, but he also attached himself to Ren Shuo's other arm.

Ren Shuo was caught in the middle, experiencing a happy dilemma.

“Speaking of luck... who has a higher luck stat between us?” Zuikaku suddenly asked Prince Eugen.

This completely baffled Prince Eugen. No, I was just watching the show, and I was even fanning the flames, and you're already so eager to turn the fire on yourselves?

You really are an idiot.

"This luck value is actually a mysterious thing; it can't be measured like data."

Seeing that the fire was about to spread to his side, Prince Eugen became more serious and thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, it's not that it can't be reflected."

"How do I do it? I want to make this woman completely convinced!" Da Feng asked hurriedly.

“It’s very simple. You know what it means to be lucky or unlucky, right?” Prince Eugen said.

“Yes, I know. Aren’t they just the two extremes of the commander group?” Zuikaku said.

Prince Eugen revealed a mischievous smile: "Isn't that simple? Just have the commander build it, then hold hands while they build it, and see what they create. That way, you can determine the luck stat based on the rarity, right?"

“That’s right! Do you dare?” Taihou glared at Shoukaku.

Shoukaku was equally defiant: "And I wouldn't dare."

"Commander, what do you say? I think it's really interesting, I want to come too!" Zuikaku said cheerfully. "Eugen, why don't you come too?"

Prince Eugen seemed to be able to see himself holding the Commander's hand, and then the construction device would be filled with golden light, with crickets, phoenixes, cranes, and defeated dogs.

So she readily agreed, "Commander, don't be a coward, come on, come on."

Ren Shuo found it quite interesting. Was there really such a testing method? And if you add the time he built it alone... that would only be five times, right?

The port area is large and prosperous, so they don't care about the construction materials. Plus, I haven't done any construction in a long time, so now that you mention it, I'm really itching to get started.

Ren Shuo nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way. Why not do it now, or should we adjust it and start tomorrow?"

"My opinion is that there's no time like the present! Let's start construction right now! Go! Go! Go!"

Ruihe casually pulled Ren Shuo toward the construction room.

"Zuikaku, wait a minute, don't pull on the Commander," Shoukaku quickly said.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous that I'm holding your brother-in-law's arm? Sister Shoukaku?" Zuikaku joked.

"...What I mean is, you're going in the wrong direction." Shoukaku covered his face, realizing that his younger sister really hadn't improved at all.

“That’s right, this is the direction to the construction room,” Zuikaku said.

"...No, were there any steps that weren't completed before construction?" Shoukaku tried to remind his sister.

"Bathing and burning incense? Fasting and praying?" Ruihe looked bewildered.

"puff……"

Prince Eugen and Taihou couldn't help but burst out laughing. But feeling Shoukaku's murderous gaze, they finally managed to suppress their laughter.

"Think about it again?" Shoukaku tried to salvage the situation.

"Hmm... Want me to absorb some good luck?" Zuikaku asked with absolute confidence.

Shoukaku covered his face. Oh well, there was no saving him.

"Aren't you registering the supplies and things in the warehouse?" Shoukaku was exasperated. "Go to King George V's office first, she's in charge of the warehouse!"

"Oh! I remember now! I see!" Zuikaku clapped his hands, seemingly having just realized something.

"Then let's change direction, Commander! Let's go!" Ruihe said, pulling Ren Shuo in a different direction.

Zuikaku, please, use your brain! Don't embarrass yourself, your sister really feels ashamed... Shoukaku followed after him with a distressed expression.

Prince Eugen and Taihou exchanged a glance and followed.

Chapter 587 Why are they shipping goods continuously during construction?!

"Oh, so you guys built it just out of spite?"

King George V, who was signing documents, put down his pen and looked at the people in front of him with a strange expression.

"Not entirely, my hands are itching too."

Ren Shuo took the initiative to take responsibility for the matter.

“It’s not impossible. After all, you’re the commander, and you can use everything in the port… but I have one condition.”

Before Ren Shuo could speak, Prince Eugen chuckled: "No way, you still have the nerve to negotiate? You've already said the port belongs to the Commander, what are you up to?"

“Eugen, stop messing around. Tell me, what do you want to do?” Ren Shuo said.

Upon hearing this, Prince Eugen fell silent, figuring it was just a casual joke anyway.

"Well, it's not that difficult, Commander. I want to take a vacation. There's a food festival at Ironblood, and I want to go have some fun." King George V said that he was almost exhausted from working overtime lately and needed to take a good rest.

"No, look in the port area and see if there's anything that Yixian and the others can't make, or if their cooking is just bad. Why do you insist on going out to participate in some food festival?"

Hood couldn't help but speak up.

Belfast has been quite busy lately, and sometimes he can't help me with some tricky documents. I absolutely can't let go of such a good tool as King George V.

"Just take your vacation, why are you telling me this?" Ren Shuo was taken aback.

“Your wife won’t let him go.” King George V glanced at Hood.

Ren Shuo laughed: "Hu De, are you trying to slack off again and push your work onto others?"

This royal lady is good in every way, but I don't know when it started, she always seems to want to slack off. It must be the fault of a royal maid who likes to slack off; she's the one who infected her.

"Okay, okay, I've approved the leave. Go have fun," Hu De said helplessly.

"Oh! That's great! Thank you, Commander!" King George V exclaimed, and then happily began to write his name on it and stamp it.

"No, I approved it. You should thank me, Commander?"

Hu Deqi laughed. Shouldn't he be thanking Sister Hu De?

However, King George V did not reply. He simply finished processing his leave slip and the commander's application for construction materials, put down his seal and pen, and disappeared.

I guess he went back to pack his clothes.

Ren Shuo and Hu De chatted for a bit before preparing to test their girls' luck.

It's unclear how the news got out, but when Ren Shuo and the others arrived at the construction room, there were already quite a few ship girls who loved watching the excitement waiting there.

"Go, Commander! Give us more sisters!" Maryland cheered.

"Shokaku, do your best! Don't disgrace Sakura Empire!"

"That's not right, Senpai. Shoukaku-nee has always been a symbol of misfortune. Shouldn't we be cheering for Zuikaku?"

"That's true... Well then, Zuikaku, good luck! Don't embarrass Sakura Empire!"

"Wow, what luck! I'm here for fun and I even see your port area under construction?"

Leonardo da Vinci and Giuseppe were also standing below the stage, watching the construction process with great curiosity.

“Shouldn’t one burn incense, bathe, and pray before construction? I’ve seen many commanders do that,” Giuseppe said.

Leonardo da Vinci sighed: "How many times have I told you, Giuseppe, to believe in science? This kind of thing is useless; at best, it's just a psychological comfort."

Rino and Duke Abruzzi smiled without saying a word. They were joking. Even those in the port who were most scientifically minded were now pursuing the kind of science that involved mechanical ascension. To be precise, it had already involved metaphysical content.

Who made the birth of this world so unscientific?

The crowd below was bustling, and on the stage, Xianghe gradually hardened his fists. What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me, Xianghe?

Taihou's face was also cold. "Hmph, you guys aren't even discussing me now. I'll show you what the most amazing girl is like in a moment! Then I'll be the luckiest ship girl in the entire port!"

"Do you think that leaky-urine phoenix will be the most miserable one?" Akagi stood under the shade of a tree, with Amagi and Kaga beside him.

“Akagi, don’t give your juniors such strange nicknames,” Amagi said.

"I understand, Amagi-nee... Kaga, what do you think?"

Chi Cheng asked casually.

Kaga: "..."

I sat and watched.

"Hmph, this so-called luck stat in the competition is really boring. You should use that time to improve yourself in the training field."

Kaga bb sneered.

Tosa, standing to the side, wholeheartedly agreed: "Sister is right."

"It's rare for the Commander to have the leisure and inclination for such construction, so let's go along with the Commander's wishes," Amagi said gently.

"Hmph." Kaga bb snorted and said nothing more.

"So, how exactly are you planning to proceed?" Ren Shuo asked.

"Commander, build it yourself first, as a way of controlling variables. That way, when we build it together with you later, we'll have a comparison."
