Azur Lane Under the Stars

Unfortunately, they had another mission to go to the spatial rift.

So we had no choice but to give up.

After returning, I've been busy with the Commander and her mother's affairs these past few days, and haven't had any time. Now that I finally have some free time, I have to start preparing for the wedding dress and the wedding.

It has to be said that fools sometimes have good luck; Bumblebee was truly lucky, dodging time and time again.

However, this stroke of luck may be coming to an end.

The design was completed, the design drawings were sent out, and production was awaited... So both the company and Bumblebee had some free time.

Bumblebee had long forgotten about the car, so he casually sat on the living room sofa with a glass of milk in his hand, completely unconcerned about his image.

Watching TV is so relaxing.

Enterprise glanced at Bumblebee, then quietly returned to his room, took out his family heirloom baseball bat, and silently walked behind Bumblebee.

The company thought to itself, "This is about my beloved car... how can I so easily let it go?"

Businesses hold grudges.

Behind her, the company gestured with a baseball bat, seemingly considering what direction and angle to cut in to mercilessly send the Bumblebee crew away.

As expected of the seasoned Gray Ghost, once it found the right angle, it delivered a devastating blow to the company.

Bumblebee, who was watching TV, suddenly felt a blackout and collapsed onto the sofa.

…………

After an unknown amount of time, Bumblebee felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his drowsy mind gradually cleared up.

After realizing my current situation, I was completely stunned.

She instinctively tried to move, but found herself hanging upside down in mid-air like a silkworm cocoon, unable to do anything else.

"Sister Enterprise, what are you doing? This joke isn't funny, put me down..."

At first, she twisted and turned, trying to break free of the rope, but when Bumblebee saw the company sitting in front of her with its legs crossed, looking at her mercilessly, she subconsciously swallowed.

Moreover, for some reason, this scene has a subtle sense of déjà vu.

The company sneered: "Bumblebee, let's calculate how much you owe me for damaging my car?"

She, Grey Ghost, though a serious warrior and the embodiment of Tataka, also has things she cares about—just four: the Commander, Yorktown, Small Business, and her own car.

Bumblebee broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

He said to himself, "Why does this scene look so familiar? Isn't this the scene after I wrecked Essex's car?"

She forced a smile and said, "Well, Sister Enterprise, could we talk about this after you put me down? Look, it's really uncomfortable for me to be hanging upside down like this."

"Really?"

The company representative pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I think it's better to talk like this."

"I'm your own sister!"

Bumblebee looked like he had been hurt.

"So, this is how you treat the motorcycle that your own sister repeatedly told you not to damage?" Enterprise remained unmoved. "Besides, even sisters need to keep clear accounts."

"I'm going to tell Yorktown! You bullied me!" Bumblebee yelled.

The company, however, had a cold glint in its eyes. This unlucky girl was really stubborn; she wouldn't give up until she was completely cornered. Even in this situation, she still dared to shout.

"Yorktown knows... so just give up on that idea."

The bumblebee stopped struggling, its face ashen: "What do you want?"

"It's simple, compensation." The man leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed.

“I have no money,” Bumblebee said.

"Then go get a job and pay it back," the company said.

Bumblebee made a snap decision and bluntly said, "I have no money, I don't want to work, it's impossible for me to work, I'll never work in my life."

The man gently stroked the handle of the baseball bat next to the chair, thinking, "Don't want to work? Sure, no problem."

Bumblebee was originally prepared to bluff his way out of it, just kidding, Enterprise's car isn't the Essex one from last time, that one was seriously expensive.

If I were to work, how long would I be burdened with debt?

But the next second, she couldn't hold back anymore.

As Bumblebee watched Enterprise approach her, baseball bat in hand, the murderous look on her face was something she had only ever seen on Enterprise when she faced two members of the First Carrier Division.

"Sister Enterprise, what are you doing! A gentleman uses words, not fists! Don't come any closer!"

Bumblebee was completely panicked. The company was the kind of company that would deal with you if it wanted to. He still vividly remembered the scene of her pinning him down on her lap and spanking him with a slipper!

Enterprise stood in front of Bumblebee, looking down at him condescendingly. She actually just wanted to scare Bumblebee; after all, he was her sister, and she had to…

But Bumblebee had another episode at this moment, and subconsciously said, "From this angle, Enterprise, your panties today are really daring."

The company pursed its lips, then suddenly stabbed Bumblebee in the waist.

Hmm, a sister like that is better off without.

First, beat her up, then sell her to Eugen to work as a waitress...

For a moment, the only sounds in the dimly lit warehouse were the muffled thuds of fists hitting flesh and the screams of the bumblebee.

…………

"How did you manage to get Bumblebee to work for us?"

Prince Eugen held a wine glass in his hand, gently swirling the red wine inside, and looked with some surprise at the company holding a glass of whiskey with two slender white fingers.

The company said expressionlessly, "It was just a lesson in love... Besides, Bumblebee has his reasons for having to work."

The two men's gazes fell upon Bumblebee, whose face was bruised and swollen, and whose exposed skin was wrapped in layers of bandages.

Bumblebee, listening attentively to his senior Yi Bei's work lecture, looked "happy" and "willing."

But actually, I feel like I'm just having a bad day. I got beaten up and then had to be sold to work by the company manager... It's really too miserable.

The thought of working here for who knows how long, and the fact that my sister in Yorktown said I'm not allowed to touch the car until I've finished my stay-at-home period...

It's torture.

Life is tough, even bumblebees sigh.

Yi Bei immediately noticed that Bumblebee was distracted.

Without any hesitation, he stomped on Bumblebee's foot: "I'm talking to you! Did you hear me? It's about work arrangements!"

"Hey, it hurts!"

Yi Bei was wearing high heels, which made Bumblebee wince in pain and instinctively cry out.

Yi Bei suddenly became a little flustered: "Actually, I didn't mean to, it's just that I saw you were distracted and I was afraid you would make a mistake while working..."

Looking at the cautious Yi Bei in front of him, Bumblebee stroked his chin and suddenly remembered.

The person in front of me, Yi Bei, looks a bit fierce and likes to play pranks...

She seems to be the kind of person who's deliberately putting on an act, but in reality, she's an easy senior to bully and manipulate.

Thinking this way, Bumblebee suddenly felt that his future working life might be very easy?

Little did they know that Prince Eugen and the corporations were watching all of this.

"Eberly is still the same as always..." the company sighed.

"Who says otherwise? He looks like a brat, but he's actually a good kid who's afraid of being alone... Hmm, no, I can't let Yi Bei take Bumblebee with him, or he'll be bullied to death by Bumblebee..."

Prince Eugen was outspoken with businesses.

The company didn't refute this: "Who can argue with that?"

"Let me think... Hu Teng! Is Hu Teng there?"

Prince Eugen called out loudly into the inner room.

"Yes, what is it?"

Hu Teng walked out of the inner room with a cool expression, wiping his hands with his apron as he went.

It looks like they're washing something inside.

"Take care of Bumblebee for the next few days... she's new here."

Hu Teng adopted a skeptical tone: "Bumblebee? Can she handle it? I don't think she's reliable."

It seems that Bumblebee's reputation for being unreliable has even spread to the opposing camp.

As Bumblebee's older sister, the company only felt ashamed.

"Whether she can do it or not, you take her along. If she doesn't do a good job, just scold her or starve her for a few meals!"

Prince Eugen adopted the mannerisms of a ruthless exploiter.

"Alright, you're the boss, you call the shots." Hu Teng strode towards Bumblebee with his long legs.

Hmm, so it's because Yi Bei was the one with Bumblebee... That makes sense, if this girl were to bring it, Bumblebee would probably be bullied to death by Yi Bei.

Bumblebee also saw Hu Teng approaching and felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, Hu Teng said, "I'll take care of this newcomer from now on. Yi Bei, you go and get busy."

Yi Bei quickly replied, "Oh, I understand."

Bumblebee: Oh no! I can't slack off anymore!

Chapter 669 Preparations Before the Wedding

As the saying goes, it's only right to work to pay off debts.

But the bumblebee has suffered terribly these past few days.

Yorktown's sister and Enterprise's sister, who work at the pub and don't usually come to drink there, have suddenly started coming every day.

And they deliberately pick on themselves.

For example, a female business owner might say, "I clearly only drank one glass of dark beer, why are you charging me for two?"

Then I paid for it myself with my salary.

Yorktown's sister is slightly better, but not by much.

She brought the small business over directly, ordered a juice, and then said to herself with an air of self-righteousness, "As the older sister, how can you let your younger sister pay? Shouldn't you be treating the small business?"

Then I could only pay with tears in my eyes.

It's fair to say that the date when I can pay off all my debts is becoming increasingly distant.

What's even more infuriating is that someone leaked the news that he was working here to pay off his debts, and now the whole of White Eagle knows about it, so everyone's come over to see what's going on with him.

Fortunately, he managed to make a profit from the misfortune.

Tips and such.

As the days went by, the fenced-off open space was being developed and improved at a visible pace.

As the domed pavilions gradually rose from the ground, Ren Shuo was also pulled into his room by many ship girls to admire the wedding dress he had just received.

Time gradually passed, and the day of the wedding finally arrived.

Generally, there is a bachelor/bachelor party the night before the wedding.

The ship girls could get together and play, but after playing for a while, they realized that it was just like any other activity, and they might as well go back and rest. So they all dispersed.

As for Ren Shuo, to be honest, it wasn't until he needed to invite a few close friends for a bachelor party that he realized...

It seems I don't have many friends in human society.

If I had to name them, are all my friends ship girls from the Maritime Bureau? Or maybe only Alice is someone I'm really familiar with.

The problem is you're getting married tomorrow, and you're bringing a girl over for a bachelorette party...

It's not suitable, really not suitable. I reckon that once they called her over, some of the more radical girls in my own group turned Alice into sea foam without a sound the very next day.

Moreover, if they were summoned, my image as a "glorious and dignified" senior would instantly collapse.
