Azur Lane Under the Stars

"Yes……"

Belfast and Shinano appeared noticeably reserved, which amused Ren Shuo.

The two girls, who were originally fearless and even dared to lecture and discipline him, were now facing their mother...

Is this the kind of controlling power a mother-in-law can exert?

"By the way, child, what do you want to ask? I will answer you to the best of my ability."

Tiamat carefully combed Ren Shuo's black hair and said softly.

Ren Shuo thought for a moment and asked, "Actually, the Observers have already told me some of the specifics, but I'm just curious why you fell into a deep sleep?"

“This…” Tiamat’s expression darkened. “Actually, even if I created this, the Dreamweavers who protect you wouldn’t know the full details.”

“Before you, I created your sisters, but…” Tiamat seemed a little heavy, “but none of them survived because my power was too high, and I had no experience. It’s like a glass of water; if you pour too much, it will overflow… Moreover, the glass itself was cracked.”

Sensing the bewildered looks in the eyes of the three people present, she changed her approach: "What I mean is, regarding my child's inner self, I want everything to be the best, so I've added quite a few things, but I've overlooked the fact that the container can't hold them all..."

"Then I failed many times. Later I realized that I had to make a container for the contents first, and then add the blessings and protections I wanted into it."

Tiamat looked at Shinano and Belfast: "So I created you first, then created a world with Sirens, and created ship girls. By using the relationship between ship girls and humans, I slowly filled your body with all sorts of blessings and protections... and that's how I succeeded."

"Although there were some mistakes and unexpected events in the middle... the final result was good. As a result, my power was exhausted and I fell into a deep sleep."

Tiamat's eyes darted around, and Ren Shuo realized that his two deaths and two transmigrations were all due to his mother's poor planning, resulting in unexpected events.

"Aren't you the creator god...? Why does creating a child require such great effort... and why did you fall into a deep sleep?"

Ren Shuo felt that his mother's combat power was a bit like Schrödinger's cat. One minute the observer said that his mother was easily defeating the Three Pillar Gods, and the next minute she said that she created me and fell into a deep sleep... It's like a roller coaster.

"Well, because the child I want to create has the same rank as me... so it will consume a lot of energy. You see, the ship girls have so many strange and wonderful skills, right? Actually, each skill is a kind of blessing and protection. When you learn all the ship girls' skills, then your rank will be the same as mine..."

Tiamat explained.

Ren Shuo stroked his chin, understanding now.

Shinano was also surprised. So that's how the ship girls' abilities came about. So that's how the history of the ship girls' birth and the history of the Sirens' birth came about.

Belfast's feelings were complicated at this moment. It turned out that all those other commanders and ship girls outside, fighting to the death because of carelessness, and trying to reclaim the lost sea, were all for naught!

This is basically just playing house with the mother and son.

Before you know it, everyone in the world, including the ship girls, has become a tool.

"Well, I just woke up a while ago and I couldn't wait to contact the Dream Weaver and ask her to guide you to me... When I first woke up, I found that there was a space around me that enveloped me. I guess it was the aura and power that I accidentally leaked out while I was asleep."

Tiamat seemed to have slept for a while, so she became quite talkative: "But I wanted to recover my strength, so I spent a few more weeks resting and then waited for you here. Hmm, if it had been a few days later, I probably would have been unable to resist coming to find you."

"Wait a moment... The Observer said they were going to break through space to bring you back. I thought they were going to rescue you. So you can come out on your own?" Ren Shuo was dumbfounded.

Tiamat's gaze drifted slightly: "Wasn't it... when I was regaining my power, I casually glanced at some books and such, hoping that my child would also stage a scene of rescuing his mother..."

Looking at the somewhat uneasy "girl" in front of him, Ren Shuo sighed: "Alright, whatever makes you happy."

The warm atmosphere made Ren Shuo and Tiamat, whom he was meeting for the first time, chat like family who had lived together for many years.

Belfast and Shinano, who were standing to the side, also went from being reserved at first to relaxing later on, and even managed to interject a few words from time to time.

After briefly recounting what had happened to him over the past few years to Tiamat, Ren Shuo asked, "So, what are your plans next...? Come back with me."

Tiamat hugged Ren Shuo and pressed him against her full chest, looking satisfied: "In the days to come, of course, it will be our family life... Also, I will do my best to help you complete the promotion of your rank, and at the same time, I will slowly raise the ranks of my daughters-in-law... that is, all your ship girls. Then, our whole family will be able to live together well."

Her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight.

No one knows how she, born before the world and before chaos, endured the long years. Lonely as she was, all she longed for was a lively family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have almost exhausted her strength to create Ren Shuo.

"So, when should we set off? Do we need to bring all the furniture and other things back with us?"

Ren Shuo then had time to look around at the room's decor. It was very cozy. Although she was already a mother of such a big child, the room gave off the feeling of a young girl.

Ren Shuo thinks the pink and sky blue as the main colors are quite nice.

"No need to bring it with you, I can store it in this little space." Tiamat casually said something remarkable. "It's just a simple storage world, it'll be quick."

"...I see. When would you like to set off?" Ren Shuo asked.

"Hmm, the sooner the better! Although this space is beautiful, I still prefer it to be lively." Tiamat's cross-shaped pupils gleamed.

"By the way, my lovely child, you must have prepared a room for your mother at home, right?" Tiamat asked, holding Ren Shuo's hand.

Ren Shuo was about to speak when Belfast and Shinano coughed and interrupted him.

After a brief encounter, the two women roughly figured out Tiamat's personality. In general, she was a girl with a contradictory personality, full of maternal instincts and girlish feelings...

"Regarding this, Mother, the royal maids have prepared the best rooms in the royal castle and are ready to provide you with the best care, which will surely make your life extremely satisfactory."

Belfast spoke first, and to that end, they directly began to defy authority. Led by King George V, the Knight Commander, and Belfast, the Head Maid, they went straight to clear out Her Majesty's best and largest room and renovated it...

We're just waiting for the commander's mother to move in.

Queen Elizabeth was furious, but dared not say anything. After all, she was the commander's mother and the mother-in-law of the marriage ship. If she dared to say no, the other factions would probably laugh themselves to death. Then Belfast would have a perfect reason to directly remove the current queen from the throne and allow the Prince of Wales to ascend to the throne.

Shinano followed suit: "Regarding this... our Sakura Empire shrine is also excellent, specially built for the gods, and will surely suit your taste. Moreover, with the care of the priestess and two shrine maidens... it will be extremely well taken care of."

Ren Shuo was completely baffled as he watched the two women start arguing for no apparent reason.

What's going on here?

Tiamat, on the other hand, who was "well-traveled and knowledgeable," happily touched her cheek: "So I'm that popular?"

She didn't suggest living with her child or next door.

After all, she understood that her child had grown up, started his own family, and needed his own space.

Belfast smiled sincerely: "We, the Royal Family, warmly welcome Your Majesty's presence."

“We, the Sakura Empire, are one too,” Shinano followed closely behind.

"Hmm, let's go out first. When we get back, I'll decide whether to go to Sakura Empire first or Royal Navy first."

Tiamat found it interesting, and she thought it would be even more interesting once she returned to the port.

"Now, let's pack up the ship girls I prepared for the children in this world and take them back with us."

Tiamat said.

At this moment, the two women on the road were trying their best to persuade Tiamat to choose their side, and neither of them would give in to the other.

However, the ship girls who were still working hard outside guarding the crack were completely unaware that while they were working...

My house is going to be robbed.

Chapter 663 Changmeng: Guardian! Change!

Within the external cordon.

The company diligently patrolled the surrounding waters, while Death, with its sharp eyes, surveyed the area under its jurisdiction.

In stark contrast to the conscientious and responsible company, Bumblebee casually put his hands behind his head, with a blade of grass he'd somehow acquired dangling from his mouth.

"Sister Enterprise, aren't you tired from working all day long?"

"I haven't even said anything to you yet! You promised to be on guard duty, and this is how you slack off?" The company glared at her unambitious younger sister.

"Hmm, all my patrol aircraft have been deployed. There are still fish underwater, so it's fine."

"That's true, but we still need to be more serious..." The company frowned.

Bumblebee, who knows companies very well, can tell what a company is going to do just by looking at it frowning.

She quickly changed the subject to avoid a lecture from Enterprise: "Speaking of which, the Commander has been inside for a week now... why is there still no news?"

The company's attention was successfully drawn: "After analyzing the situation, the observers and Akashi and the others said that it is possible that the flow of time inside and outside is different, and that time passes more slowly inside than outside."

The bumblebee froze, and its open mouth caused the grass it was carrying to fall into the sea.

"No, if that's the case, what if we have to wait a long time? Will it be several years or even more than ten years?"

Bumblebee immediately covered her face, genuinely panicked: "No, no to that kind of thing!"

The company was both amused and exasperated, and tapped Bumblebee on the head: "What are you thinking? They said, based on a brief analysis, the internal and external time flow rates might be one to seven or one to eight."

"Oh, that's good then." Bumblebee breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm...that's...the Essex Eagle?"

The company learned of the arrival of Essex's ship-mounted eagle through Death's feedback.

"Is there any news?" Bumblebee was also somewhat expectant.

The company shook its head: "I don't know..."

As she said this, she raised her hand, and the eagle flying high in the sky landed on the company's arm.

A note was tied to the eagle's talons... In the event of a communication failure, the company's eagles temporarily served as carrier pigeons.

"...Bumblebee! Let's go back! The commander might be coming out!"

After reading the note, the company immediately began rushing back at full speed, displaying an urgency that belied its mature and composed nature.

"Hey! Enterprise! Wait for me!" Bumblebee was also going full speed ahead, following behind, but was still gradually being left behind by Enterprise.

Sure enough, my little sister was a free gift with a phone top-up! You didn't even wait for me! You scumbag sister who values ​​her boyfriend over her!

At this moment, at the spatial rift, a group of ship girls were eagerly anticipating what would happen, but they were also extremely vigilant. Who knew what might happen next?

All they knew was that something was about to come out.

"Hmm, a week, that seems to be a little earlier than Zhenhai expected."

Prince Eugen said lazily.

"Don't let your guard down, Eugen, stay alert," Bismarck snapped.

"Understood, understood, my flagship." Although Prince Eugen's tone remained nonchalant, his gaze had become noticeably more serious.

"They're here." Nagato narrowed his eyes, and the main gun was ready to fire at any moment.

"...No! It's not the Commander! Nor is it Belfast or Shinano!"

Mikasa's expression changed: "Everyone, be on alert!"

The women immediately became serious and focused, locking their attention on the space in front of them.

"Wow, wow, this is really a unique welcoming ceremony... Are these his ship girls? They're all so strong..."

Before the person arrived, their voice preceded their arrival, carrying a hint of curiosity and a touch of teasing.

They don't seem like enemies.

“They don’t seem like enemies…” Prince Eugen said with a forced smile.

"We cannot let our guard down." Bismarck was still quite troubled by the unpredictable Prince Eugen.

"Alright, alright, I got it, Bismarck."

Prince Eugen remained unconcerned.

"Who goes there?" Nagato frowned and asked loudly.

"Hmm, is it Nagato? The Holy Child of the Sakura Empire... It's been a long time since we've met. I am Musashi."

As the conversation progressed, the initially indistinct silhouette gradually became clearer, and a woman in a long black dress appeared before the crowd.

The heavy and powerful ship rigging behind her exuded strength, while the armored giant behind her, gleaming with purple light and appearing and disappearing, added a touch of murderous aura to her.

"Musashi?"

Nagato frowned. This was a battleship from their Sakura Empire, and a very famous one at that. So why was it here?

Although the other side revealed their identities, no one dared to relax in the slightest.

"Hmm, why are you here? Where are the people inside the space?"

Nagato asked.

"Who knows what will happen to the people inside? Maybe they won't be able to get out for a while, or maybe... they won't be able to get out at all?"

A strange light flickered in Musashi's eyes; she really wanted to test her skills against Nagato, one of the Big Seven.

Previously, when I fought against the Shinano aircraft carrier, I always felt extremely frustrated and suppressed, especially considering my own air defenses...

Now that we've finally encountered a battleship, we should be able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest, right?
