Transmigrated into Azur Lane

Immediately, Lin Dong eagerly handed a pack of tissues to his two wives, who were both drenched in sweat.

"Belfast, let's go clean your room together while we're at it."

Seeing the head maid take out a tissue, Lin Dong again fawned over her.

"No need, Suffolk will take care of it for me."

Wiping the sweat from her brow, the head maid politely declined. "Head maid" wasn't just a nickname; as the head of the royal maid corps, it was an official position. The leader was on the front lines, so naturally the subordinates had to take care of the rear.

Although Suffolk may seem clumsy at times, his professional skills are impeccable, and even the extremely strict Belfast could not find a single flaw in him.

On the contrary, the commander's suspicious behavior made the head maid even more suspicious. Always speaking her mind, she first glanced at Glorious beside her, pondered for a moment, and finally asked.

"Commander, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something urgent that you need to do?"

"Nothing's wrong...hehe"

Once exposed, Lin Dong instinctively denied it outright. However, compared to most of his male counterparts, being connected to the Mind Cube was like having a lie detector on him 24/7; he simply couldn't hide many things from the ship girls connected to him.

"He definitely wants to go to Sakura Empire to find that phone call lover."

Standing to the side, Illustrious covered her mouth and chuckled, completely seeing through his little scheme. Living with her husband, she undoubtedly spent the most time with the Commander compared to other Oath Ship Girls, so there were many things about the Commander that could not escape her sharp eyes.

Although Hikari had some reservations about her husband's insatiable behavior, she discovered his affair with Marshal Mikasa too late. As time passed, her initial dissatisfaction gradually faded away.

As for the Commander's frivolous attitude towards the oath relationship, Lady Glorious felt it was largely due to the indulgence of the ship girls. If she had been able to accompany the Commander to the other world immediately, she would never have allowed this to happen. Unfortunately, it was already too late to say that now...

"M...Mikasa?"

As Guanghui spoke, Belfast couldn't help but think of the otherworldly native who had a close relationship with the Commander.

"..."

Once exposed, Lin Dong immediately blinked and feigned innocence, falling silent and implicitly acknowledging his actions.

"So, Commander, the reason you're in such a hurry is that you want to get rid of me?"

The head maid was furious at her husband's feigned ignorance.

"No! Absolutely not! I just... wanted to cheer you up..."

Driven by a strong will to survive, Lin Dong shook his head repeatedly, denying the head maid's conjecture. If she truly believed him, it would be far too hurtful. After all, she had put aside her work to stay close to him—wasn't it all for his sake...?

"Oh, so you'll make me happy first, and then dump me?"

The head maid couldn't help but laugh in anger, her cold smile quite ferocious, a far cry from her usual dignified and polite demeanor.

"No! I just wanted to cheer you up before I told you the truth!"

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he couldn't help but swallow hard, inwardly exclaiming how strange it was. He had actually planned to help the head maid tidy up the room and then find an opportunity to sneak away with Yuudachi, but seeing the head maid's angry appearance, he could only grit his teeth and firmly deny it.

Perhaps it was the will to survive that spurred her on, just like when she boasted so much that even the Eastern Emperor's lie detector was stunned. The head maid was able to detect no sign of the commander lying through the connection of the Mind Cube, and as a result, her anger, which was on the verge of exploding, subsided by more than half.

"If the commander insists on going, be sure to bring enough men. Remember, the sea is not calm right now, so don't be as reckless as you were last time."

Although her anger had subsided somewhat, the head maid was clearly still extremely displeased with Marshal Mikasa's sudden intrusion. However, no matter how henpecked her husband was, she couldn't ignore his other identity as a "commander," and if he was truly determined to do so, the head maid had no right to refuse his decision.

However, Lin Dong, as the commander, clearly had no intention of using his authority. Unlike those giant pandas who were unaware of their national treasure status, he knew the power a commander held, but considering his ship girls as family, he was unwilling to arbitrarily issue those cold, impersonal orders...

"Yes..."

The head maid's words jolted Lin Dong awake. He immediately felt a pang of self-reproach, realizing he had been blinded by greed. He had completely forgotten the Sirens' threat because of Mikasa. If it hadn't been for the head maid's reminder, and something had happened to him and Yuudachi at sea, he would have been deserving of death for his mistake.

...

In the bridge of the Pan-class destroyer, which bears the inscription "Bismarck's Private Ship," Olik, with his hands cupped in his hands, looked out at the sea through the glass and murmured to himself.

"I wonder if the whiny girl has grown up yet."

Lin Dong, who happened to overhear Oleksandr's mutterings, came to her side and patted her little head.

"It won't be that fast... Orcas have a lifespan similar to humans, so that little kid will probably have a long time before he reaches adulthood."

Although he originally set off for personal matters, the news inevitably leaked out before his departure. First, Nelson said he wanted to talk to Mikasa about dealing with the Sirens threat and wanted to go with her. Then, South Dakota, without saying a word, followed behind him.

Following closely behind, Atago, Takao, Yuudachi, Shigure, and so on—in short, they all had all sorts of bizarre reasons for boarding the ship. Then, suddenly remembering the whiny Lin Dong, they decided to bring the little girl along as well...

Chapter 418 Reunion

If the cumbersome Rook-class battleships could reach a terrifying speed of 120 knots, then the speed of the childlike Pan was naturally even faster. In less than four hours, this equally ferocious-looking destroyer, full of Siren-style features, had already appeared in the waters of Yokosuka Naval Base.

"Waaaaah!"

Before the surrounding Sakura Empire navy could react, the black and white whimpering monster had already mustered all its strength and was swimming swiftly towards the ship where Lin Dong and the others were. As it swam, it kept popping out its round head and yelling, which was really annoying and irritating.

Orique, who had been waiting anxiously on the deck even before entering the Sakura Empire's waters, naturally spotted her long-lost old friend early on. After unfolding her ship equipment, she eagerly jumped off the ship and sped towards the direction of the whiny monster.

The two, one human and one sobbing, soon met on the high seas. Like something out of a melodramatic soap opera, right in the center of the frame, on the azure ocean, they embraced tightly and wept...

When the destroyer sailed up beside them, Lin Dong, who was also standing on the deck, saw the fat, big-eared, whining monster and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Wow, this little rascal is actually quite good-looking."

"Commander! This little thing is really unique! You read it backwards!"

The innocent and naive Olek was unaware of the commander's malice towards the whiny guy, and even went out of his way to correct his misuse of words.

"Waaaaah!"

Compared to the naivety of the little girl, the inherently evil and highly intelligent whining monster could hear the sarcastic tone in Lin Dong's voice. Although it didn't know what he was saying, as long as it knew that its enemy had started speaking inhuman language again, the hot-tempered monster immediately swam towards Lin Dong with an eager look, as if it wanted to have a grand showdown.

Lin Dong, being sensible, ignored the whining monster's provocations. Despite the fact that this little guy was still a baby, he might actually be no match for it. Being a man of principle, Lin Dong then gave instructions to Ollie, who was floating on the sea.

"When you're done playing, come find us at the Yokosuka Naval Base, understand?"

Since this sea area is still firmly controlled by Sakura Empire, Lin Dong is not afraid that Orik will encounter any dramatic events like the Sirens. Besides, this little girl is very obedient. She always remembers what he tells her, unlike the unruly Yuudachi who listens to orders but not to commands.

Okay~~

Just as Lin Dong had expected, Little Ollie immediately responded obediently and then started playing with the whiny monster that was still baring its teeth at Lin Dong.

Meanwhile, the ship carrying Lin Dong and his group continued its journey towards the Yokosuka Naval Base...

...

"Damn it! You guys came to Sakura Empire without even telling me! I should have just hitched a ride, I'm exhausted!"

Soryu, who was cleaning her ship's equipment at the port, couldn't help but shout when she saw the man she hadn't seen for less than half a day. Judging from her travel-worn appearance, she seemed to have just arrived in Sakura Empire.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Feilong slapped her on the back of the head. Ever since this younger sister became acquainted with that equally unreliable candidate, she had learned a lot of vulgar language, which was truly offensive to the ears.

However, Lin Dong, whose mind was entirely on that woman the moment he stepped onto the port, had no time to chat with the ship girl. He simply chuckled, pinched Canglong's cheek, and then led the ship girls quickly toward the military district...

Soon after, when he finally arrived at the door of Mikasa's office, the ship girls who had been following him, except for Nelson, had all disappeared. After all, they had no interest in discussing official business and also wanted to avoid suspicion. They had temporarily formed a Kyoto tour group at the entrance of the military district, boarded a bus, and headed towards the capital of Sakura Empire.

The sight of Marshal Mikasa's office door wide open clearly indicated that he had been waiting for a long time. Just as Lin Dong was about to casually step into the room, he was immediately stopped by Nelson.

Nelson glared at the commander's impolite behavior, then raised his hand and knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

Only after Mikasa's voice came from inside the room did Nelson release his grip on the commander's arm and walk into the office...

Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle inwardly at Nelson's rigid approach. What was his relationship with Fleet Admiral Mikasa anyway? Did he really need to resort to this? However, he quickly realized that Nelson hadn't yet discovered his affair with Mikasa, and his face immediately fell. If she found out, he'd probably face another scolding. After all, Nelson only knew that the two occasionally spoke on the phone; she had no idea that they'd even discussed what to name their future children...

"Welcome, both of you."

When Mikasa was halfway through her sentence, she was momentarily stunned when she saw the man in front of her before resuming her usual busy and capable businesswoman demeanor.

The ever-perceptive Nelson naturally noticed Mikasa's unusual behavior. Considering that this woman had often had ambiguous relationships with her husband back in India, it was possible that the two were indeed having an affair.

Thinking of this, Nelson glared at the stinky man beside him again, thinking, "I'll interrogate you properly when we get back!"

Lin Dong, whose attention was entirely focused on Mikasa, was completely unaware that he was about to face a great calamity...

Nelson's unexpected intervention turned what should have been a long-awaited reunion into a solemn and dull negotiation. Nelson, who had completely taken over the commander's voice, went back and forth with Mikasa, discussing how to deal with the Sirens' counterattack.

As dusk settled outside the window, the highly official negotiations finally came to an end. Finding no reason to stay, Lin Dong could only give the Marshal a deep look before leaving the office with Nelson...

...

As night fell, in the room that the Sakura Empire had temporarily arranged for the two of them to stay in...

Sweating profusely and panting, Nelson, seeing her husband about to launch another attack, stammered and asked.

"You rascal, why are you so energetic tonight...?"

Lin Dong blinked and kissed his wife on the forehead before answering.

"Didn't we agree to work hard to build a small boat?"

"You rascal, are you hiding something from me?!"

Nelson, already suspicious as she left the office, immediately grabbed her husband's neck with both hands after keenly noticing his dishonest gaze, as if she would murder him on the spot if he dared to lie.

"No! The Sirens' counterattack is just around the corner! I... I was just thinking of giving it my best, so that if anything unexpected happens, at least I can leave an heir..."

Although Lin Dong was indeed guilty at this moment, it was also true that he harbored the same thoughts.

"If you're going to die, what's the point of me living?"

"If you have a baby, you won't die along with it, haha."

Chapter 419 Rooftop Night Talk

Looking at Nelson, who was fast asleep in bed, Lin Dong pinched her bottom twice out of concern. It seemed that his previous efforts had some effect. Nelson, who was usually very alert even when she was asleep, was now sleeping like a log, completely unresponsive to her husband's bad behavior. Only then did Lin Dong feel relieved and quietly got out of bed.

"arrow"

Lin Dong pulled out his communicator from the bedside table, typed two simple letters into the number he knew by heart, and after seeing the "read" notification on the communicator screen, he quickly dressed like a thief and tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Dong saw the Marshal, with whom he had spoken countless times via communicator over the past six months. It was fortunate that the two of them were using Siren's network; otherwise, their international call charges over the past six months would likely have been a terrifying six-figure sum.

After gently closing the door behind him, Lin Dong approached the ship girl he had been longing for and greeted her with his hands behind his back.

Good evening, Mikasa...

At this moment, he was completely unlike his usual carefree and irresponsible self when facing the ship girls; on the contrary, he was unusually shy. Although the two had known each other for a long time before the Maritime Bureau set off for India, this ambiguous relationship, which resembled that of lovers, was only established later through communication. Therefore, for him, this strange feeling was like the nervousness of meeting someone he met online for the first time.

"...Good evening"

Even the usually dashing Grand Marshal Mikasa seemed a bit awkward at this moment. Having absolutely no experience in love, she was easily influenced by Lin Dong's strange behavior.
