The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

So when did you say something like that? That's really unfair!

He waved his hand, wanting to quicken his pace and keep up with the people ahead, but Enterprise approached him again, "Commander, I was serious just now. Azuma, you're not going to let this go again, are you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm... the commander seems different now. So... you're not going to just let it go, are you, Azuma?"

"What do you mean? You might as well explain it more clearly!" Huang Chen stared at the girl who was chattering away. Why didn't he realize that she was so talkative before?

"Didn't I just say that?" Enterprise was also confused. "My wife is an adult. Don't think you can just fool her like a little girl."

"But... you know..."

"Did the rest of you misunderstand?" Enterprise said.

Huang Chen nodded silently. He also wanted to give out rings. In fact, he almost couldn't help it on the deck just now. If his wife hadn't fallen asleep, the rings would probably have been given out.

But now think about it carefully, what will the other ship girls think if Azuma gives the ring as soon as she comes back?

For example, Cleveland and Independence, as well as Jean Bart and others.

Is it really like before, another wholesale sale, with every girl getting a ring? When other girls come back to the port area, when they meet again, they won’t say hello or long time no see, but instead say I have a ring here, would you like to consider it?

Isn’t this too weird?

"But what you did just now... wasn't appropriate." Enterprise continued, "In fact, Commander, you may have overestimated some things."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, even if you suddenly gave my wife a ring, other people's reactions would not be as big as you imagined," Enterprise explained.

"After all, I've gotten used to a lot of things."

The girl said calmly, her words revealing calmness.

However, Huang Chen felt a hint of bitterness. What did this mean? In the past, Huang Chen gave rings to whoever he wanted, without considering other people's thoughts or attitudes.

Even if the girl has been talking about giving out rings for half a month, she may end up becoming a warehouse manager. Aren’t we all used to it?

Huang Chen shook his head, "I understand, I'll find a way."

The few of them quickly reached the commercial street. It was already late at night, and the doors on both sides of the street were closed. The lights were only sparsely on. Sometimes, they could see ship girls passing by on the road, but they were all in a hurry.

Huang Chen looked left and right, and suddenly saw the izakaya he had been to with Dunkirk.

I still remember that when I was checking out, the store was promoting a pair of couple chopsticks. When I was leaving, I saw a strange performance, and then I was misunderstood as liking to eat candied haws.

The streets still looked familiar, and although the izakaya was closed, there was still a faint light. In just a month or two, nothing had changed, but Dunkirk had become his wedding ship.

He subconsciously looked at the girl walking in front of him. The latter seemed to sense something and turned around to smile shyly at him.

Several people followed my wife and continued forward, turning a few street corners, and finally stopped at a place.

"This is it, the lights are still on." My wife looked up and pointed to an aisle in front.

Huang Chen and his companions walked in. The aisle was so narrow that only two people could walk side by side. They climbed the stairs along the aisle. Suddenly, their view opened up and a long aisle appeared in their field of vision.

"These are all single rooms. We rent a lot of them." My wife explained briefly and then walked to the door of a room.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Jean Bart, are you still awake?"

"My wife? Is it time for a shift change?" There was a noise from inside the door, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps approaching the door.

Then the door was opened, and a girl with long flaxen gray hair tied into a high ponytail appeared at the door. She had light red eyes with sharp corners and a hint of toughness.

The black coat was casually draped over her body, and underneath seemed to be just a simple short coat. Through the gaps between the corners of the coat, one could see the girl's fair skin, and her slender and round thighs were casually exposed to the air, as if she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

"Has the shift changed? It seems a little early..." She said as she pushed open the door, her eyes originally looking towards the door, where my wife had spoken before.

However, at the moment the door opened, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure flashed across his sight.

The girl's pupils shrank and she stared straight at Huang Chen in the crowd.

"You're back? Your companions are lining up to see you."

Chapter 270 Jean Bart

The girl's words were rather bland, as if it wasn't a long-awaited reunion, but rather a matter of two or three days, like a commander returning to the port after a mission.

Huang Chen was also stunned, and many thoughts flashed through his mind at once. He had received news about Jean Bart a long time ago, and she could be said to be one of the first few ship girls to know the clues in this world. However, they had not actually met until now.

Another guy like this is New Jersey in Zone C1, right?

Huang Chen thought he knew Jean Bart very well. He had heard Dunkirk talk about him many times and had seen his photos. The photo of several people from Dunkirk was still on the table in Dunkirk's room. He had seen it often and had a very deep impression on him.

However, I almost didn't recognize the girl the first time I saw her. Maybe it was because there was a big difference between the photo and the real person, or maybe it was because the girl's expression was quite different from what I imagined.

Reunited with so many girls, most of the ship girls were very excited. Some of them would chatter incessantly, and even some who didn't like to talk much could hardly suppress the expressions on their faces.

Even if you are not excited, you will have various different emotions, such as excitement or sighing.

However, Jean Bart was extremely calm. Although he was a little fluctuating, it was just like meeting a friend whom he hadn't seen for three or five days.

A chaotic stream of thoughts flashed through Huang Chen's mind. He was stunned for a moment, then waved, "Jean Bart, I'm back."

"I'm glad you're back." Jean Bart nodded and greeted everyone.

Huang Chen didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he even felt that the girl’s emotions fluctuated more when she saw Dunkirk than when she saw himself.

Jean Bart didn't notice Huang Chen's emotional fluctuations. After greeting everyone, she asked curiously, "Why don't I see Algeria?"

"Algeria fell asleep." Huang Chen explained simply, "I heard that you didn't sleep well last night?"

"Why not?" Jean Bart seemed a little puzzled. He looked at everyone but didn't explain anything. He continued, "Just go to sleep. Do you want to come in and sit for a while? However, since it's just a small room, there may not be much space."

Jean Bart said, taking a step back and opening the door to signal everyone to come in.

Huang Chen took a look inside. It was just an ordinary single room, nothing special. Perhaps because they had not lived here for very long, there was not much atmosphere of life in it.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll go call everyone." Jean Bart adjusted his clothes a little and was about to go out, but Huang Chen stopped him.

"Let's go check it out together. If you're still awake, say hello. If you're asleep, we'll talk tomorrow."

Jean Bart looked at Huang Chen strangely, but nodded.

Huang Chen looked at the people from the enterprise again and hesitated for a moment, "Are you coming too?"

My wife seemed to be about to stand up, but Qiye immediately understood Huang Chen's thoughts and said, "Can I rest for a while?"

Immediately, the other three also understood Huang Chen's meaning and found a place to sit down. "Rest for a while."

Seeing this scene, Jean Bart looked at Huang Chen more strangely, pursed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded silently.

The two walked into the corridor, on both sides of which were densely packed rooms, similar to an ordinary hotel.

"The rooms on the Windward are almost like this." Huang Chen said for fun.

"Hmm?" Jean Bart was a little confused.

"It's here, an aisle with rooms on both sides." Huang Chen explained.

But Jean Bart just nodded without saying much, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

He quickly walked to the door of another room, "This is Gascony's room."

Huang Chen looked through the peephole and saw that the lights were off. "He's probably asleep already, right? Let's go to the next room."

The two continued walking, but the lights in the rooms of Fuxi and the little girl from Qiuyue's class were turned off, and they seemed to be sleeping.

"Why are they all asleep?" Jean Bart frowned in surprise. "According to the schedule, Xiaoyue and Huayue will be switching guard duty soon. How about I go knock on the door?"

"No need. Since you're asleep, let's just sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Jean Bart immediately looked at Huang Chen strangely again.

The latter couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I just think that the commander has become a little different from before." Jean Bart said directly, and no longer concealed it, looking at Huang Chen with curious eyes.

The latter nodded and said, "I know, many people say so."

"Oh?" asked Jean Bart. "You didn't realize I was the only one feeling that way?"

Huang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Am I such an unchangeable person in your heart?"

Jean Bart did not continue speaking, but the expression on her face suggested that this was what she wanted.

Huang Chen shook his head helplessly, "After so many years, it's normal to have some changes."

"So many years?" Jean Bart suddenly stopped. "Actually, when I first returned to the dessert shop and saw the letter Dunkirk left, I was completely bewildered."

Huang Chen also stopped silently and listened quietly to the girl's speech.

"Algeria was happy, Foch was happy, even Gascony, who were not good at expressing their emotions, was happy, but I was not happy."

"My heart is as calm as the ocean, without a single ripple. I wonder, even if the Commander comes back, what will happen? We'll return to the port and live there. We won't be out working as mercenaries, taking on missions, and we'll settle down. But is settling down really a good thing?"

"When you're a mercenary, you'll meet other freelancers who are also mercenaries. When you work together, you'll hear them say that they'll stop being mercenaries after this mission is over and that they'll find a port to settle down in."

"Sometimes I wonder, is settling down really that good? I have nothing to do every day, I don't know what to do, I don't know what I should do, I just eat, I sleep, and there aren't even any drills or sorties. Is this kind of stability really meaningful..."

"If you really like to go out and take on missions, you can do that even after the port area is rebuilt." Jean Bart was speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by Huang Chen.

Hearing this, Jean Barth was stunned and did not speak for a long time. It was so long that Huang Chen even thought that there was something wrong with his perception of time.

Then she looked deeply at the commander, a hint of smile in her light red eyes, "Commander, you have really changed a lot!"

Chapter 271 It’s been a while

"Just one sentence and you know I've changed a lot?" Huang suddenly felt a little funny.

Jean Bart blinked, as if thinking about his next words. After a moment, he said, "Actually, I saw it just now in the room."

"See what?"

"Dunkirk, and the ring on Amagi's hand."

Huang Chen's heart tightened upon hearing this. What's going on? Do you want the ring too? You didn't seem like it before, but aside from that, I was in such a hurry to leave, I don't have any on me. Is he owing it again?

Didn't I buy so many rings at once just to prepare for this kind of emergency? How did I forget to bring them again? I must always carry my rings with me when I go out!

Suddenly, many thoughts emerged in Huang Chen's mind, like bubbles in boiling water.

However, after Jean Bart finished his sentence, he stopped talking and even looked at her body movements and walked towards the room again.

"Wait." Huang Chen suddenly said. Jean Bart, who was about to walk away, stopped and turned around to look at his commander in confusion.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Huang Chen said.

"So, the Commander has started paying attention to people he wouldn't have before." Jean Bart smiled, then frowned slightly. "Why is it that he's suddenly gone away? Has the Commander become a little slow? Hmm...it seems like he was like that before."

"Just that?" Huang Chen asked with some confusion.

"What else do you want?"

"Ok."

The two began to walk towards the room again, but suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind them.

Looking back, it was Huayue's room. Jean Bart had been thinking about whether to knock on the door, because in theory she was going to take over the duty from Azuma and others.

Now he seems to be awake.

Huang Chen stopped and looked towards the door. A girl with long pink hair appeared in his sight. She was wearing pink pajamas. Although the pajamas were just hanging limply on her body, it was hard to tell that the girl had a slim figure.

It seemed as if no one believed her yet. She walked with a swaying motion, her long fox ears drooping limply on her head, and her big eyes were hazily closed.

Although he walked out of the room, his visual system may not have worked at all, so he didn't even see Huang Chen and the other two in the corridor. He went straight to another door and started knocking on it.

"Xiao Yue. Get up, it's time to go on duty!"

The girl blinked and spoke in a daze, but there was no response from inside the door.

She swayed and stood at the door for a while, as if she had taken a short nap again. Then, when she was about to knock on the door again, she suddenly felt her arm being held by a big hand reaching out from behind.

"what--"

She shuddered all over and screamed subconsciously. The hazy sleepiness disappeared and she almost jumped up. She suddenly widened her eyes and turned around, but the sound stopped abruptly, just like Fengyun playing the flute.

She stood there in a daze for a long time, still looking at Huang Chen blankly. There was no shock or disbelief in her emerald green eyes, but she seemed to be stunned, without any expression.
