Azur Lane Under the Stars

Empire stood with his hands on his hips, revealing a goofy smile, appearing quite self-righteous.

Ren Shuo's smile, which had just begun to appear, suddenly froze.

No, little girl, you've been discovered, the mission failed, why are you so happy?

"...How did it fail?"

"We were discovered." Empire blinked his innocent-looking big eyes.

Ren Shuo was troubled. It meant that now that he had been discovered, Littorio would definitely be on guard. Wouldn't all his previous tracking and puzzle-solving efforts have been for nothing?

But looking at the bewildered empire in front of him, Ren Shuo really couldn't think of any words to blame her.

A thousand words were condensed into a sigh: "Then forget it, your mission is complete..."

"Oh right, Commander, although Littorio gave me a lecture, she didn't notice the photos I took."

"The Empire said abruptly."

Ren Shuo was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! You deserve a lot of credit."

What does it mean to find a way out of seemingly hopeless situations?

Do you even understand the value of the Commander's Senior Double Agent, Miss Empire?

I'm sorry, Miss Empire, I was speaking too loudly just now.

"Where are the photos?"

Ren Shuo had longed to visit Littorio's mysterious cottage for a long time, but no one was allowed to go in, not even himself, the commander, or his sister Veneto.

To this end, Littorio even bluntly stated that the self-destruct device and alarm system, which resembled those in the Mikasa Collection, were not made by Akashi, but directly by the Builder.

Empire directly unbuttoned one of the buttons on his chest, and looking at the exposed fair skin, Ren Shuo couldn't help but sniff.

The Empire reached in, rummaged around for a while, and finally pulled out something that looked like a USB flash drive.

"This is it, Commander. There are many photos of missions inside." The Empire revealed a smug smile.

Although that smile, combined with the Empire's perpetually sleepy eyes, just looked undeniably adorable.

"The organization will thank you for your contributions, Miss Empire!"

Ren Shuo grasped the USB drive as if he were grasping the future in an instant.

"Then, Commander, I need to take a leave of absence. I want to do the Sleeping Club activities with Shinano-neechan," the Empire said, seizing the opportunity.

"Your Sleeping Club has activities?" Ren Shuo asked, somewhat surprised.

The Empire retorted confidently: "Isn't the Sleeping Club's activity just sleeping?"

"...Alright, leave is granted. Just tell Duke Abruzzi directly."

The Empire cheered: "Great! Love you, Commander!"

After saying that, he hugged Ren Shuo. Ren Shuo silently measured him and thought, "It looks average, but it's actually quite big."

Having temporarily bid farewell to the Empire, Ren Shuo took the USB drive and went straight back to his room.

Ren Shuo's room was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual household items. After becoming a commander, Ren Shuo finally fulfilled one of his wishes: to have a top-of-the-line computer and game console.

Although I have to spend time with different wives and little cuties and don't have much time to play, I still fulfilled my dream.

Strangely enough, both Akashi and the Builder couldn't understand it. They had their own port's technology, and you wanted to create a Jarvis... that Iron Man's AI, not the one from the port.

There were no problems at all, let alone those computers that were more than a dozen versions ahead of the current era.

However, Ren Shuo stubbornly insisted on buying the newest and best available on the market, saying that this was a man's romance. Then, for some reason, he clicked with Long Island, leaving the Builder and Akashi completely baffled.

Fortunately, Ren Shuo now has a USB drive, and the legendary computer is finally going to be put to use for the first time.

Turn on the computer, and you'll find an astonishing number of games. It's said that because of Ren Shuo's game collecting obsession, he made a bold move and bought up several of the world's most famous game companies, including but not limited to XTEAM and Heavy Rain.

Ren Shuo opened the USB drive, excitedly moved his fingers, and then clicked on the folder.

Let me see! What exactly is in there?

That said, it's a miracle that the Empire saw what was inside and wasn't silenced by Littorio. Could it be that Littorio is actually a hidden siscon?

I remember last time when Torricelli was installing those alarms and self-defense systems, he accidentally went inside and almost got turned into a mushroom by Littorio.

Lost in thought, Ren Shuo began browsing through the photos.

"Holy crap?! What... what is this?!"

Ren Shuo's voice involuntarily rose sharply, his face filled with disbelief, and his pupils began to dilate.

Littorio, is this all you do?!

Chapter 550 Littorio, you don't want others to know either, do you?

No one knows what Ren Shuo saw, and apart from the Empire and Ren Shuo, no one knows what's on the USB drive...

In short, it's terrifying, extremely terrifying, especially for Littorio. He'll probably suffer a real social death if he's exposed to the public eye... the kind that leads to his social demise.

During afternoon tea, Ren Shuo always looked at Littorio with a complicated expression, leaving both Guanghui and Littorio completely baffled.

Glorious joked, "Littorio is indeed very charming today. Even the Commander couldn't help but keep staring at you."

Littorio tossed her hair, a smug look on her face: "Of course, Lady Littorio shines wherever she is, after all, I am such a dazzling ship girl!"

"How are you, Commander? Are you captivated by Lady Littorio's beauty?"

Littorio flashed his signature hearty smile.

Ren Shuo gave Littorio a complicated look, feeling somewhat ashamed: "Yes, indeed, I've seen it all..."

I had a feeling that the commander's words were implied.

Glorious touched his face in confusion, then looked at Littorio. Had something happened between the two of them?

"Littorio, come with me after the tea party, I have something to discuss," Ren Shuo said.

Littorio, unsuspecting, nodded: "Is there some troublesome matter that requires Lord Littorio's attention this time? Hmph, Commander, you have excellent judgment, don't you?"

Glorious couldn't help but glance at Littorio again. "Please look at the commander's eyes! They don't look like he has any mission at all!"

"Glorious Sister! That fat dinosaur ruined my yoga pants!"

While the three were chatting, Bu Nao and Ke Wei, who had no ladylike manners whatsoever, ran over one after the other.

As the formidable and indomitable force draws ever closer, even though the Jumping Slime is undeniably cute...

But looking at Ke Wei's running spree, Ren Shuo couldn't help but think of a line from a veteran driver in the canyon.

The ground trembled.

“Oh, good afternoon, ladies,” Littorio said with a smile. “Would you like to join us for afternoon tea?”

Littorio always came to Radiant for afternoon tea, so the "ladies" like Unyielding and Fearless didn't pretend anymore; they were all acquaintances.

She hurriedly said, "I'll definitely do it next time," and then began to complain.

"Sister Guanghui, you be the judge! Kewei has ruined my yoga pants again! This is the third pair I've worn!"

Bu Nao cried out, and handed the "corpse" in his hand to Guanghui.

Guanghui looked at it, somewhat surprised: "It was completely torn apart? What did you do? Tear someone's clothes?"

Ren Shuo got really excited. "I love watching women fight, tearing their clothes... Are these two fighting?"

For some reason, Kewei seemed a little guilty: "It wasn't torn open... Anyway, there's a reason."

Unlike Kewei's hesitant and stammering manner, Bu Nao showed no mercy to his sister, stating directly:

"What do you mean 'torn'? This was stretched open by this fat dinosaur! She thought my clothes were her own, then tried them on and thought they were too small. But then she thought she had gained weight and forced herself to wear them, and that's how they got stretched open."

Kewei protested in a low voice, "Who told you to wear clothes that are the same color as mine...?"

Ren Shuo also looked at Ke Wei with a strange expression. This girl is really something...

She is truly a heroine among women.

Littorio, however, was completely oblivious to the atmosphere: "Don't worry, even so, Miss Formidable still possesses a unique charm."

It wouldn't have mattered if these words hadn't been spoken, but once they were, the fearsome man lowered his head even further.

Glorious said with a hint of helplessness, "Littorio, stop talking for now... So, what do you want, Bu Nao?"

Bu Nao pointed at Ke Wei: "Make her apologize for stretching my clothes because she's fat, and then buy me a new one!"

"It's a very simple need, but what do you say, Wei?"

Glory turned to awe.

Kewei immediately shook his head: "Compensation is possible, but an apology is out of the question!"

I always feel that if I apologize for acknowledging this premise, something about myself will break.

The two of them started arguing again.

However, in the end, it was Glorious's authority as the older sister that brought everything to a close. She offered compensation and then apologized without having to admit that she was fat.

"No objections, right?"

His radiant and majestic gaze swept over his two younger sisters.

"No."

The two men spoke in hushed tones.

Although the two left, the time had passed quietly after all that commotion, and the pleasant afternoon tea party was coming to an end.

Ren Shuo stood up first: "Littorio, come with me."

"Hmph, no problem, Lord Littorio is ready to shine at any time."

…………

He led Littorio to his room, which was spotless, presumably because Belfast and the others had been there.

Littorio sat down casually on the sofa in Ren Shuo's room, crossed her long, slender legs, rested one elbow on the armrest, propped her chin on her hand, and asked:

"So, Commander, you called me to your room... Is there something you need? Let me make it clear first, although I know my charm is irresistible, I won't do anything without romance."

Ren Shuo revealed a subtle smile: "I want you to see this..."

Littorio, also curious, leaned over and rested his head on the armrest to look at Ren Shuo's computer.

This was bad enough that his pupils dilated in shock, but once he did look, Littorio stammered, "W-you, where did you come from?!"

"Where I got these things isn't important..." Ren Shuo smirked. "What's important is that you don't want other people to know about these things, right?"

"empire!"

Littorio instantly understood what was happening and gritted his teeth.

Ren Shuo casually sat down next to Littorio, then patted Littorio's thigh, startling him: "W-what are you doing?"

Ren Shuo stroked his chin: "Although I really want to, now is not the time to do it."

Upon hearing Ren Shuo's bawdy joke, Littorio became even more nervous, completely losing his usual carefree demeanor.

Ren Shuo found Littorio's expression somewhat amusing.

However, he wanted to tease Littorio a little and ask him what was going on.

"I never expected that Lord Littorio, who always said he was the eldest, Glorious the second, and me the third, would have such a hobby? Why is that? Why is it different from what he said?" Ren Shuo's smile was very bright.

"Gu..."

"I never expected this..." Ren Shuo clicked his tongue, "This room is covered with my posters, and when did you order my figurines? From large to small, from one-seventh scale to life-size, you have them all."

"Hmm, look, there are even cushions in this photo, and I know that you only have this one little room for collecting things, nothing else... Why doesn't the great Lord Littorio make one specifically for himself or for Radiance?"

Looking at Littorio's trembling body, Ren Shuo felt a sense of pleasure, for reasons he didn't know.

Could it be that, deep down, I am also...

Littorio gave a smile that was more like a grimace; this was social death.

"I think I can explain it."
