Azur Lane Under the Stars

Page 596

As she walked, she said, "I know you guys are complaining, so I'm not the kind of person who should be hung up by a streetlamp. Here's a special perk for you, neither the participants nor the spectators get one... Commander, come in, I've brought you here, you can chat."

Shangri-La took a schedule from the room and left without looking back.

She left, but Ren Shuo felt a lot of pressure.

Before he even stepped inside, he could feel the intense stares of the two women in the room.

"Oh, you've worked hard," Ren Shuo said with a forced smile.

Why are these two girls looking at me so scary?

“It’s no trouble at all. It’s all for the port area…” The Prince of Wales stood up, smiled, walked behind Ren Shuo, pushed him in, and then closed the door behind him with his high-heeled boots…

While Ren Shuo wasn't paying attention, they locked it up directly.

The Duke of York smiled with satisfaction; it seemed that his help this time hadn't been a complete loss.

Ren Shuo was seated in a chair by the Prince of Wales, while the Duke of York served him a cup of tea.

"Commander, are you tired?" Prince of Wales smiled as he massaged Ren Shuo's shoulders, his words full of tenderness.

The Duke of York lowered his crossed legs and opened his arms to Ren Shuo.

"If you are very tired, you can rest here for a while."

Ren Shuo trembled: "You guys be normal, I'm scared... If I've done anything wrong, just say so, I'll change, okay..."

"How can you say that? How could the commander be wrong?" the Prince of Wales exclaimed in surprise.

"Can you please stop doing this? I really feel a bit awkward about it," Ren Shuo said with a wry smile.

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York exchanged a glance before stopping what they were doing.

The Prince of Wales casually pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Ren Shuo, then said with some doubt, "That's really strange. They say this is how you should act when asking someone for a favor..."

Ren Shuo thought to himself, "You clearly haven't asked anyone for a favor before. Anyone who knows you would think you're being sarcastic."

"Tell me what it is, and I'll do what I can to help you," Ren Shuo said.

The Prince of Wales' eyes lit up. He pulled a camera from inside his shirt and looked at Ren Shuo expectantly: "So, Commander, can we take a picture together?"

"It would be best if we took a group photo together in racing suits, and the Commander should wear one too!" The Prince of Wales smiled broadly.

"sure……"

Ren Shuo was a little confused. No, taking photos with beautiful women should be me begging them, not the other way around.

Oh, I'm the commander, and you're ship girls. There are too many wolves and not enough meat... Never mind then...

Wait a minute! Where did you pull that camera out from?!

Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to leave it there? Or is that spot connected to your ship's equipment space? Can you use Milk Fragrance's One-Slash?

Ren Shuo's thoughts often wander.

"So here's the problem: who's going to take the photos? There are only the three of us here. Surely a fourth person can't just run out and help us, right?" Ren Shuo said.

The Prince of Wales paused for a moment, then said kindly to the Duke of York, "Sister, how about you help us take the photos?"

The Duke of York sneered: "I refuse. Why should I help you? Why can't you show some consideration for your sister and let me take a picture with you?"

The Duke of York was serious this time, and his childish tone was gone.

“Can’t you give priority to your eldest sister?” the Prince of Wales said.

The Duke of York gave the Prince of Wales a strange look: "No matter how you look at it, you're not the eldest sister, are you?"

Seeing that the battle for command was about to escalate, Ren Shuo quickly called for a halt: "Wait! I have a plan!"

The two women looked at Ren Shuo at the same time. Unbeknownst to him, Ren Shuo witnessed the magnificent sight of the front armor of two battleships colliding.

Hmm, the Duke of York's frontal armor is still superior.

Ten minutes later, the well-behaved young lady Hao arrived at the lounge somewhat bewildered.

Then, with a camera in hand, he looked completely bewildered as he helped his two older sisters and the commander, who was dressed in a racing driver's suit, take a group photo.

His two older sisters were seen affectionately flanking Ren Shuo, each holding one of his arms and smiling sweetly at the camera.

Ren Shuo, standing in the middle, managed a forced smile.

Don't let Ren Shuo's current blissful state fool you... could you two please stop pinching my waist?

You two are at each other's throats, don't pinch me!

"Eggplant~"

With a click, the photo was taken. A bewildered Hao handed the camera to the Prince of Wales: "Sister, take a look, are you satisfied?"

The Prince of Wales looked at the photos in the camera and smiled with satisfaction: "I'm very satisfied. You've worked so hard, Howe."

"I will never forget your contributions and will certainly give you my best wishes." The Duke of York seemed very satisfied.

Having received a satisfactory reply from his sisters, Hao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his rather well-endowed chest, and said, "I'm glad my sisters like it... So could you explain to me why I had to come over? I remember this camera has a time-lapse function, right? It doesn't need anyone else to come over."

Then she complained, "George V's sister and the monarch's sister kept asking me all sorts of questions. I'm grateful for their protection, but I feel like it's a bit too much."

Ren Shuo laughed: "You guys can explain it yourselves."

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York exchanged an awkward glance.

How do you explain it? Tell your younger sister that you were jealous and forgot about this feature?

"Never mind, it's all your own business anyway... But keep up the good work, ladies. And the clothes are beautiful, they suit you all perfectly."

Hao revealed an innocent smile and clenched his fist to encourage his two older sisters: "Well then, I'll be going now, sisters, and Commander."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"She's such an angel..."

The Duke of York remarked.

The Prince of Wales did not refute, but instead watched his younger sister leave with loving eyes: "Truly worthy of being the last conscience of our George V generation... For the first time, I feel that the description of 'unyielding' is correct."

"Has Bu Nao ever made such a rude comment? Humph, why?" The Duke of York felt somewhat displeased.

The Prince of Wales ignored her.

Ren Shuo chuckled to himself.

Could she not be the last vestige of conscience? To be a little blunt, the eldest sister, George V, aside from the brief period of handover with the Maritime Bureau, is usually a glutton who likes to compete with the Purifiers and Yuudachi to see who has the biggest appetite.

And what about the Prince of Wales? His once-popular joke in the port, "Big brother, who shall we touch tonight?", foreshadowed that the philandering Prince of Wales was no respectable ship.

As for the Duke of York who comes later, to be honest, he's just a case of teenage angst.

And the monarch is much better now that he's become a marriage ship; he occasionally attends tea parties and engages in daily conversations with others.

But before, she was a withdrawn, awkward, and arrogant older sister with a domineering, unapproachable demeanor.

Finally, let's take a look at the girls in the port area, Hao.

She is polite and elegant, easygoing yet tactful, capable in both formal and domestic settings, and her personality is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Her smile is like a spring breeze in March, refreshing and delightful.

And that soft yet clear voice...

Ren Shuo began to doubt why he hadn't tricked her into coming to his room to warm her bed and make the vows in one smooth motion.

Chapter 637 I didn't do it!

The enthusiasm for the competition remains extremely high.

However, after the legendary battle between arch-rivals, there weren't any particularly outstanding qualifying matches.

After all, the first match can be said to have been a condensation of the best of all schools of thought.

A battle between arch-rivals, full of unexpected twists and turns, a clash of wits, a struggle between two titans, and even an easy victory...

It can only be described in two words: brilliant.

It's not that the later episodes were bad, but they just weren't as entertaining as the first e-sports Spring Festival Gala.

Ren Shuo returned to the stands. Looking at the smug Ren Shuo, Shangri-La glanced at him sideways and said, "Feeling good? Commander?"

Ren Shuo, however, criticized, "What do you mean by that? We have a very pure friendship between ship girls and commanders..."

Shangri-La, however, pointed at Ren Shuo's cheek with a half-smile: "Wipe the lipstick off your lips first..."

Ren Shuo's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm: "You're bluffing me. That's impossible. We haven't done anything wrong..."

Shangri-La, too lazy to argue, simply took out a small mirror and let Ren Shuo look at himself.

Okay, Ren Shuo was taken down in one fell swoop.

But Ren Shuo has such a thick skin now. Without making a sound, he took out a wet wipe and wiped away the pink and red lipstick marks from his lips.

However, he was actually quite panicked inside.

Oh no, I'm doomed. No wonder when I came here, I saw Akagi and Ron with expressions that looked like they wanted to kill someone.

So that's how it is... Ren Shuo felt a wave of fear wash over him.

That is to say, Akagi and Ron are now completely under my control. Otherwise, in the past, I might have been beaten up and locked in a dark room, and then after a while, I would have reappeared in front of others as a family of three... Oh, the extra one is in Akagi or Ron's belly.

Shangri-La said earnestly, "Commander, although I can understand your impulsiveness—you're young, and it's autumn, the weather is dry and it's easy to go astray—you should also be mindful of the consequences."

Ren Shuo weakly said, "It wasn't me, I didn't..."

"While I can't interfere too much in your private life, please remember that His Excellency Wales and His Excellency the Duke of York are not yet married. At the very least, they should buy tickets first, right?"

Shangri-La said, "I don't believe you, someone who has eaten meat, can resist."

Ren Shuo protested: "I really didn't..."

It was just that two female hooligans took advantage of her.

Shangri-La patted Ren Shuo on the shoulder with an understanding expression: "I understand, if it's not there, it's not there."

Xiangjiao, what kind of attitude is that? I'm telling you, your attitude is very problematic. Who is the commander here?

"The commander has it tough too."

The New Jersey resident, who had been listening for a while, looked on with sympathy.

"You damn rabbit, stop making sarcastic remarks." Ren Shuo was exasperated. "What are you doing here? Didn't you go down and have some fun?"

"Hehehe, Commander, you wouldn't believe it, would you? I'm actually a professional!" New Jersey gave a big thumbs-up.

"You play this too? I didn't know that," Ren Shuo said in surprise. "I didn't see you when I watched Essex and the others racing before."

“That’s where you’re wrong, isn’t it? Those are motorcycles, I’m a race car! The four-wheeled kind,” New Jersey said. “They enjoy the feeling of speeding through the wind, I enjoy the feeling of being pushed back in my seat by pressing the accelerator and clutch.”

“I don’t understand these intricacies either…” Ren Shuo laughed, “But good luck! Your race is… tomorrow, right? The amateur group’s go-karting race is in the afternoon.”

"That's right! With the commander's encouragement, I'm confident I can do it!" New Jersey exclaimed, full of energy.

"That's enough talk. Oh, the final result is about to be announced."

Ren Shuo looked at the big screen, which showed the final results, that is, the final selections for the elimination round in two days.

The last group is another example of a player who was both strong and won by default.

Yuudachi ran around like a mad dog, but no one could hit her, and she won without even being hit.

As for the remaining powerhouses... as expected of Ayanami, a master gamer, she held her own against five opponents.

The power of ghosts and gods is terrifying.

However, this also confirms the final eight players for the elimination round: Little Enterprise, Little Radiance, Little Akagi, Yuudachi, Ayanami, Evil, Fushun, and Yukikaze.

Haiqi concluded by announcing, "Congratulations to the eight sisters who have successfully advanced to the second round of the elimination competition! Everyone worked hard this morning! See you this afternoon!"

After the final words were spoken, the girls chatted excitedly about the fun things that had happened that morning, and then went off to eat in small groups.

However, Ren Shuo felt somewhat regretful.

Early in the morning, I was so busy with the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York that I didn't get to see the next few girls. The last group to receive the awards was also presented by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York. Ugh, is this the trouble of multiple-choice questions?

Never mind, I'll take them all later...

Ren Shuo then called out to Shangri-La, who was about to leave: "Xiangjiao, look, after the awards ceremony this afternoon, shouldn't they go to the lounge too? We can have them come right after they finish work."
